Cultural Anatomy: Sokka’s Choker

From what I’ve researched, chokers were traditionally worn by some Native American tribes rather than by the Inuit, who traditionally preferred looser fitting necklaces. But Sokka’s particular choker is identical to traditional Alaskan Inuit bracelets, which are made from walrus or whale ivory.

Which means that Sokka might just be wearing a bracelet as a choker. And I can’t think of anything more perfectly Sokka than using an item for something beyond its intended purpose. I can totally imagine how the whole thing started:

Mother Kya: “One day, when Katara gets married, I’ll give her this necklace that Gran-Gran gave to me.”

Lil Sokka: “No fair! Why don’t I get anything?”

Hakoda: “Sokka, this necklace is for girls only.”

Lil Sokka: “Fine, I’ll just make my own necklace.” *ties his bracelet around his neck and immediately starts choking*

Gran-Gran: *sighs* I’ll get more string…

I HAVE THREE TUTUS LETS FUCKING GOOOO

Yeah you're absolutely right, it WOULD be pretty fucked up if a scorpion was literally so held back by its own nature that it would kill both a frog and itself on a whim. It would be insane to think that a being would have destructive habits that are highly harmful so deeply ingrained in its core identity that it would default to that at even the most delicate situation, especially since said habit is actually usually a defense response to danger. But the danger in that situation was the river, and the frog was helping the scorpion overcome it, but said self defense response was something the scorpion leaned into so much that it fired off the handle on someone trying to help it, dooming an innocent frog and making the river kill the scorpion in a self fulfilling prophecy. The scorpion essentially killed itself, it caused its own problems by having a nature that's harmful by design, it could have let the frog pass through and survived, it could've just avoided crossing the river altogether. But the scorpion didn't do anything wrong, inherently it too was a victim of its actions as much as the frog, their nature wasn't a defense but its own doom, and it did not regret it at all, it knew it would happen all along. It is in its nature, after all

Man, what a weird and fantastical story, I'm so glad that there are NO real life equivalents to this WHATSOEVER
