Hi Yes I Would Like People To Remember That Sokka Received The Mark Of Wisdom And Katara The Mark Of

rough animation of this x

ik this has been said countless times before, but i lose my marbles whenever i think about sokka slowly realizing that he doesn’t have to protect everyone all the time. sometimes he can let other people take watch out for him too!!

there was never really anyone to protect sokka growing up. all the other men had to fight in the war, and his mother was killed by the fire nation. my dude had to protect his entire village! and he let himself down when his girlfriend turned into the moon spirit when his only job was to protect her!

but all those scenes where sokka lets slowly suki protect him...

and he starts to open up to toph and zuko...

he feels awkward abt it but my heart melts every time sokka remembers that he isn’t actually ISN’T totally alone and sacrificeable. he’s allowed to be vulnerable. he’s isn’t just valued as a warrior, as a protector, but as a person! as a friend! even just a lovable-ass idiot!

throughout the series, sokka realizes that he’s LOVED by people other than katara obviously and he cherishes it. and his journey from Lonely Warrior to Cherished Friend absolutely obliterates me. every. single. time.

Drabble prompt, something about Momo, exactly 100 words

Oh no my weakness-- 100 word drabbles that I can’t expand on! (this is why I cheat and do a drabble-series) Here’s... several more drabbles than you asked for about Momo adjusting to having a family(I enjoy writing Momo’s POV way too much, this is a problem. Will I be posting *another* Momo drabble collection to ao3 now? Yes. You’ve awakened a monster.) 1. Warm

The best part of being in a conspiracy again is the warmth.

This-lemur-now-Momo curls against his boy's heartbeat and twitches an ear as the soft breath tickles it. His boy is warm and his boy is gentle, and when his boy's heartbeat picks up and begins to race faster than Momo's when he's being chased, his boy never moves. Momo snuggles close, under his chin and his boy laughs quietly.

If Momo didn't know any better, he'd think his boy was dead. But Momo can feel his boy's heartbeat, and he can see the tear sliding down his boy's cheek.

2. Soft

The girl-who-smells-like-the-sea is softer than his boy. Momo laments the time he wasted before learning this because she is so soft, and her hair smells so nice, and she always knows where to scratch his ears. She is kind and gentle and he knows why his boy always gets so warm and flustered when she's around. He likes her for his boy. She makes his boy happy, and his boy breath easier. 

When his boy has all the fury of a thousand suns under his skin, and his boy scares Momo, she is there. Calm and steady, like the sea.

3. Bright

Momo isn't sure what to call the last member of their conspiracy.

He is least soft of the three tall-wingless-lemurs, though he and ocean-girl are tied for least warm. His boy is just much warmer than the others. The tall-wingless-lemur isn't soft, and he isn't warm, and though he smells like death still, Momo isn't afraid anymore.

This boy brings the brightness forth every night, though, the strange burning warmth that Momo fears in his bones. The brightness is like the boy--something dangerous, something that could hunt Momo down if it wanted.

Momo leaps onto the shoulder of the bright-boy.

After watching Ep 11 myself, I think I can say this is my headcanon with confidence:

Both Wakko and Dot have good self-confidence, due to Yakko having raised them since they were little. He did what he could to make them feel good about themselves. Plus they had a fairly stable childhood.

Whereas Yakko, with whatever background may come, doesn’t have as much self-confidence or stability. He had to be an adult and raise his younger siblings, even though he himself was still a kid.

He needs reassurance because it was lacking for him. His siblings already have reassurance.

Day 29: dragon

“Maybe we can control hothead! Then he can make us pizzas, play video games with me, and even clean my room!!” Season 5 ep 3

Leo’s Greatest Defense

I haven’t seen anyone mention or notice this, but nothing can actually get to Leo, not as long as Mikey is around. It shows it in the beginning of the movie

He appears out of thin freaking air!!

And delivers a devastating blast that could take out a city block. You don’t even know where he could be coming from

And even demonstrates this a second time at the end of the movie, you think he is done for because he trapped himself in the prison dimension with the Kraang, but TEEN MIKEY!? Hell no, he rips open time and space, with his brothers help

And plucks him right the hell outta there. Like that’s….I mean..he LITERALLY WENT FUCK YOU FABRIC OF SPACE AND JUST PLUCKED HIM OUT!!

I don’t know, I just feel like these two moments were a way to show that not only is Leo the new king piece of this chess board but Mikey is the new Queen piece, the most powerful and the best at protecting the king.

And I just find it funny to think of them as Chess pieces, because when I learned Chess growing up I was taught that it was kinda dumb to try and take the King before taking out the Queen

Some things never change…

are you guys ever gonna get tired of calling neurodivergent coded characters dumb or

y’all will see a character that has a short attention span, disorganized, seeks attention through making themselves the butt of jokes/”class clown” and be like wow what a dumb fucking stupid idiot bitch. how do they even tie their shoes in the morning. i bet they fucking faceplant into doors every day because they’re too dumb to know what a handle is. 

You know what?

I love that Sokka and Bolin are always clowning around. I know people think being the comedic relief character is a bad thing but do you know how much care and effort goes into making other people laugh?

Like putting aside your own hurts and fears and baggage to cheer up others is hard. Bolin and Sokka aren't as stupid as they act, they just play it up.

Making people laugh and smile in times of stress is hard because you have to shove all of your own stress aside and joke it up and smile and pretend its all going to be okay even when you don't feel it will.

Sometimes you've just got to let that built up energy out and it might as well come out as laughter.

Like pretending everything is fine and giving your humor to others? That's learned behavior.

No doubt Bolin and Sokka picked it up to make Mako and Katara feel better or less stressed. After all a joking and happy sibling is a safe and cared for one. Then they just extended it as their friend groups grew.

And don't get me started on when they slip up and drop the charade. Sometimes people are more concerned the comedy stopped over the character's emotions and that can lead to people overlooking their more emotion heavy moments for their funny ones.

Like comic relief characters are vital man, because who else will make you laugh when you really just want to cry?
