Looking at these pretty mood boards of fs i wonder why the hell im still not doing it for myself
thinking abt how the reason yue liked sokka was because he was an awkward nerd who didn’t actually think he had a shot with her, as opposed to the obtuse surfer dudes vying for her attention (and the consequent position of power being her husband puts them in). sokka called hahn “soulless” when he talked about the “perks” of being with yue, because he, unlike the bros of the nwt, saw past her status—he liked spending time with her and making her laugh. yue is immediately endeared to sokka because he’s so clearly awkward and inexperienced and earnest, which proved a refreshing change of pace. to yue, sokka’s and his bright-eyed sincerity was an escape. yue was the only person sokka ever asked out (to do an activity with, to be precise), but she initiated all of their kisses. suki kissed sokka first, on kyoshi island, and then again at the serpent’s pass. only once sokka knew for sure what she wanted did he try to kiss her. both of sokka’s relationships are founded upon mutual respect and communication, and both suki and yue are impressed and endeared by his humility. so why do ppl wanna paint him as some smooth-talking, cocky or even blustering ladies’ man.... because he had two (2) whole girlfriends, whose arcs complement each other and develop his character in significant ways? yeah girls like sokka. but it’s not like he’s doing anything to encourage that. he is just... standing there...... bein his nerdy self.......
