I really like your modern ATLA takes and art :) I was wondering how the circumstances of Yue's passing change in a modern au since I imagine she doesn't give her life back to the Moon Spirit.

thank you! over the years my own personal modern au has kind of just developed a life & lore of its own. you can go thru my modern au tag for some of that lore, but i’ll also rehash the saga of yue here, because if i’m being completely honest, her life & death was the initial foundation upon which this AU was conceived. i just love yue a lot.

yue meets sokka on the first day of fifth grade. he’s still pretty raw from the death of his mother that summer. it’s her first day of “real” school, since she was homeschooled as a kid due to her chronic illness that made her parents extremely overprotective. she was finally able to argue with them that she was well enough to go to school, but really it’s just because she got bad vibes from the tutors her father picked out for her. she still keeps to herself and doesn’t make many friends. aside from sokka, of course. they immediately get along, and are attached at the hip from that moment forward.

for years, katara likes to joke that yue is sokka’s girlfriend (a hilarious joke specifically because it’s so obvious that she’s way too pretty to ever date him) until yue shyly asks him out For Real. they go to the library, a thing they have done together a million times before, but this time they’re going to The Library on a Date, and they’re both extremely nervous. until they realize that they’re both nervous, at which point they start laughing over the absurdity of their mutual nerves. nothing much changes about their dynamic after that except for the fact that they occasionally hold hands and kiss.

yue spends a lot of time at home, or she’ll go to school and then realize that she’s not actually well enough to be at school, at which point sokka will notice and insist on walking her home (during the middle of the day, which his teachers just love, of course). he always brings her whatever homework she’s missed when she’s absent, and then if she’s feeling up for it, they’ll sit in her bed together and just listen to music or read or talk – whatever she has the capacity to do that day. they are just happy to spend time in each other’s company.

they enter highschool together and sokka is like “i can’t believe we’re literally adults now” and yue is torn between being like “um. i don’t think we are, actually?” and feeling one million years old (pain ages you). sokka has a whole plan mapped out for their futures together: they’ll go to the same college, and then the same grad schools. they’ll be lab partners somehow, even though they’re both interested in different fields. sokka will finally solve GUT, and yue will singlehandedly cure her own illness (and all other illnesses) through the power of her research. they will win nobel prizes in the same year and they’ll be displayed on one of the shelves of their expansive home library.

yue’s a little more realistic about her own physical limitations (although she doesn’t actually doubt that sokka could win a nobel if he set his mind to it) but she still lets herself indulge in the fantasy of getting a little house with a vegetable garden and having two kids (both daughters of course. no sons!) and after that discussion (which sort of just makes official what they’ve both personally agreed on since they first met), they’re both in perfect agreement that no matter what happens to them, they are life partners. aang has already long called being the best man at their wedding. katara and toph fight over who will get to be the maid of honor, but sokka and yue quietly suspect that they don’t really care all that much, and it’s just an excuse for them to fight.

yue and sokka mainly keep to themselves in high school, and don’t have many friends outside of each other. they’re friends with katara, aang, and toph, but they’ve all yet to enter high school, so they can’t exactly see them in the halls. yue sits next to a kid with a giant bandage over one eye in her english class, and they bond over making snarky comments about the quality of the books they’re being forced to read, but even he gets kind of exasperated by the frequency with which she talks about her beloved boyfriend. (“my boyfriend gave me this rock he found in the park. isn’t it amazing?" she eagerly asks him, and it's literally the most normal rock you've ever seen.)

(it takes zuko years to make the connection that yue’s precious boyfriend from her stories is the same guy who azula considers her academic rival and is definitely obsessed with to an unhealthy degree. zuko’s just like “why is literally everyone so obsessed with this guy??” and then he meets sokka and immediately becomes obsessed with him, so, well. fuck.)

a few weeks after yue’s sixteenth birthday, sokka is walking her back home from his house one evening, when it starts to rain. yue suggests that they go back to his house to grab an umbrella (really, she just wants an excuse to stay out longer. her father has been inviting hahn over more and more often lately, and she fucking hates hahn) but sokka argues that they’re already more than halfway of the way there to her house, so it’s completely illogical to head back to get an umbrella when it would be faster just to continue walking. his logic is correct, and it’s already getting pretty late, so yue acquiesces. sokka will regret not going back for an umbrella for the rest of his life.

it’s at that hour between night and day where it’s just too dark to see clearly, but a driver could easily neglect to turn on their headlights. between that and the rain making the roads slippery, there isn’t enough time for them to run out of the way when a car skids into them. on instinct, sokka shields her with his body, but she still falls and hits the ground really hard. even though sokka is the one who was hit by the full force of the car, the impact of it is devastating for her. the driver calls an ambulance while sokka holds her in his arms, but by the time the ambulance arrives, it’s too late. they can’t save her. he couldn’t protect her.

sokka spends the next month refusing to get out of bed. it’s the second hardest month of katara’s life. on the day of her funeral, he climbs up onto the roof of her house with the first bottle of liquor he could find in her parents’ cupboard. he spends hours on her roof, just drinking in silence and thinking about how he failed her, how if he’d just been better, then his life would still have meaning. it’s his fault, really. sokka will later insist that he fell, but katara can see right through him. he breaks his leg from the fall.

eventually he returns to school, hobbling in on his crutches. he was always a smart kid, but kind of a lazy student. everyone expects his grades to plummet, but now that he has no distractions (and in fact is in desperate need of a distraction) he becomes an insatiable overachiever. instead of just doing crosswords during math class, he takes tests to place out of high school math and starts taking math classes at the local college instead. he wins his regional science olympiad. he starts tutoring half the school. anything to fill any and all of his spare time.

he never really stops being an academic overachiever (and once he and mai become college roommates, he infects her with his crazy pretty quickly, although eventually she drops out of their grad school program because she realizes she doesn’t actually wanna be an academic, and that her real dream is to be an indie horror game developer). he also never stops insisting that he “doesn’t do relationships” (a lot of people just assume that he’s a fuckboy, and he does nothing to dispel that notion) even though whatever he and suki have going on is clearly a relationship of a kind. he has one million hobbies, and he never sleeps. he spirals every time he’s forced to be alone with his thoughts. but if he just keeps moving, and achieving, and proving his value, then maybe he’ll forget for a moment that his life has long since lost its purpose.

he never truly gets over her. how could he?

He deserves an apology

i love the notion that the reason zuko hates iroh's tea so much is because iroh is giving him medicinal tea that tastes fucking nasty for his chronic pain and then like. borderline gaslighting him about it by being like "what...???? no........ this is just jasmine........ your favorite" and zuko, who is even more susceptible to being manipulated than the average person, is just like "omg wow jasmine tea tastes way worse than it did when i was a kid..... maybe tea is really gross and i am simply misremembering having a fondness for it as a child???" and then they go work in a tea shop and zuko starts drinking normal tea again so that he can recommend different blends to customers and he’s just like "holy shit why does this hot leaf juice actually taste good." and he somehow never figures out what his uncle was doing he simply thinks that he is going crazy. which is also true

Dog toy plushies have fundamentally different souls than that of regular plushies. Unlike regular plushies, which are content with just existing (and just go to regular heaven when they get destroyed and don’t mind being resurrected), dog toys seek Valhalla. This is why you don’t need to feel bad when your dog/cat/especially strong bird rips it to shreds, because this was the warriors death they were seeking all their life
