Sokka is the member of the Gaang that scares me the most because while Katara, Toph, and Aang are all extremely powerful and talented they all consistently trained with immense dedication and effort. Meanwhile Sokka learns fighting techniques in a matter of days. He's a skilled welder but this never comes up after a couple of episodes. He's instictually good at haikus??? He's a skilled inventor and scientist but I have no idea where LEARNED it in the first place. I imagine he grew up hunting and trying to defend his village. He fucking invented the submarine during the series. Sokka is TERRIFYING not because he's more powerful than any other member of the group but because he picks up skills so quickly. If he had the time consistent training and instruction he would too powerful

Watching Avatar I found myself always forgetting that Sokka is an underated genius. He's such a doofus and sometimes a down right idiot but then he does something genius and then ur like, oh yeah, I keep forgetting he does have a brain. I remember being mosly confused by his character????? Like why are u getting super serious, ur supposed to be funny????? Yeah it's called depth and that's what I love abt the series, none of them are one thing, especially sokka. I think his character shows that contrast the most but I feel because aince he's not a bender or Zuko, he gets kinda side lined. Honestly just seriously watching it again he is such an underrated character. He's the only one since the very beginning who pretty selflessly supported his friends. Katara was sweet and she really really cared but I feel like she was often swept up in her own head with things. Not bashing Katara because we all know she's a badass who would sell her soul if it meant saving her friends. Just Sokka never fell apart on them, never made his problems other people's and when he did need stability he went to his friends in a healthy manner. He might not have always been emotionally sensitive but I really feel like he was the rock of the group, the grounding constant that kept them together. He couldn't bend but he was still a nececity to the team because he was strong in ways the others weren't, not that it's a bad thing on their end. He's just a good boi. A dummy thicc brain boi who drinks the quenchiest of cactus water and is hella supportive and responsible. He made battle plans, kept the gaang on time, BASICALLY LEAD A REBELLION BY HIMSELF, was super supportive of aang when it didn't work, always helping toph (don't think I didn't notice who's arm she grabbed when she couldn't use her earth bending to see) supported his sister even when he didn't agree and was super quick to forgive zuko and treat him like a friend. I feel like he's often written off as just "the funny one" and he deserves better respect than that. This wasn't really prompted by anything, I just wanted to say this. Sokka is an A+ dude.
hi yes i would like people to remember that Sokka received the Mark of Wisdom and Katara the Mark of Bravery before you go around switching their personalities

Been experiencing two polar thoughts about this scene…
1. There is no way Sokka is expecting to win this battle. He is the one and only warrior left in the village, about to face down a Fire Nation ship all by himself. Sokka has been the epitome of bravery since the very beginning.
2. Sokka can’t draw worth shit, and yet he sure can perfectly apply war paint on himself without even so much as a mirror aksdflj
Aang a few years after the war thought it would be a good idea to write up a will of sorts, mainly because while he doesn’t have many personal things, he wanted to make sure Appa and Momo were taken care of should the worst happen.
He chose Sokka, Sokka snottily and loudly cried happily when he was asked.
MIKEY'S AND THEIR KITTIES :DD !!!
I was trying to talk about those other forms, all the different ways you can love, some of which are sexual, some of which are romantic, and some of which are platonic,” she says. “None are necessarily better than any other, but all of them have the capacities to help shape who we are and hopefully set us on the path to become the people we really want to be.
