ive been obsessing over the idea of an atla time loop au lately because i find it hilarious all the shit they’d get into ,, like at first when they don’t really know what’s happening i feel like like aang especially would want to keep the timeline intact, but once it becomes clear it’s always going to reset they start going apeshit
after they run out of monsters to ride and games to play or whatever they just start fucking with people for entertainment (cuz 20 years reliving the same thing over and over again gets draining fast) like they’d start selling anti-fire nation merch or something but it just starts getting more and more ridiculous
one time they pretended they were all the avatar and everyone helps each other out to play their parts (even sokka, whos just invented swordbending
zuko starts sliding down the ramp to his ship int he southern water tribe on wheelies courtesy of sokkas giant brain (he has to rush to make them every time)
eventually they stop explaining to people that theyre in a time loop so iroh just has no idea why his nephew/son is casually committing treason with these random children now. hakoda doesnt know why his kids are masters at waterbending and swordbending respectively now but hes not complaining (he is complaining about their lack of self preservation, though)
they go beat up ozai within the first week and the entire world is astonished that some teenagers just saved the world and theyre like ‘lol normal tuesday right guys’
sokka is super annoyed that he keeps having to remake his sword every time and he cant even make it as soon as they loop back cuz he has to wait for the asteroid to come
they always try to do something different so they dont get bored but suki. ALWAYS. has her rematch with azula. its a tradition for them and they start making costumes and stocking up on snacks to watch suki beat up azula for the 476th time. it stopped being satisfying a long time ago but they might as well have some form of continuity in their lives
feel free to add to this it feeds my hyperfixation
