Very good post 10/10
So my brother and I were just talking on the phone and we realized: Aang might have mastered all four elements but Sokka mastered the non-bending styles from all four nations!
He already knew how to fight with Water Tribe weapons/regalia:
Then, in what’s likely the first Earth Kingdom village he’s ever visited, he learned how to fight with the Warriors of Kyoshi:
When he reached the Northern Air Temple, he was able to tap into the philosophy of the airbenders and realize that the best way to win a battle is to avoid face-to-face confrontation by instead using creative means (and the sky) to take down your opponent:
And finally, when he reached the Fire Nation, Piandao taught him how to forge a unique weapon and hone his swordsmanship:
Sokka learned all four non-bending styles!
Really puts Iroh’s quote into a different context:
“Understanding the other nations will help you become whole.”
Spiderman actually has a sister lol, but anyways amazing art op!
this is funny bc technically Dick also has a biological estranged sister (who’s older). I think it’s fair to not count the extra siblings that show up like once or twice and than never brought up again by other comics or media lol
Goes to show how strange and kinda stupid comics can get sometimes
finished the rise movie and may i just say michelangelo <3 yeah <3333
Aang and Sokka’s friendship is proof that vegetarians and meat-eaters can still be buddies
my friend: what’s one of your favourite characters?
me: regulus black
friend: the guy whose only source of screen time was through a picture?
me: r.a.b
friend: now that i’m thinking about it, did we even see him on screen?
me: regulus. arcturus. black.
friend: why are you like this
me: regulus!!!!!
Denki is so incredibly underrated. He is often written off for his for his quirk drawbacks short circuiting his brain, academic performance, or as simple comic relief, but His quirk is extremely powerful and has so much potential. Once he learns more control and how to deal with its drawbacks, he is going to be a formidable pro-hero. If i was a villain and some guy showed up who was essentially a human short and long range teaser, id surrender real quick regardless of my own quirk! Trauma can also be a powerful motivator and he and his class defiantly have plenty of that after the War arc.
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.......
sokka and azula have a fascinating dynamic because they are both insufferable perfectionists, due to the need they feel to be perfect carbon copies of their fathers, whom they hero-worship and believe can do no wrong. and they’re also the only person in the war who can outsmart the other, which leads to….. problems. sokka decided he wanted to die after azula sabotaged his invasion plan, and azula decided she wanted to die after sokka beat her at the boiling rock. so it’s just like. imagine them playing scrabble together. zuko walks in the room to find azula shaving her head because sokka spelled “dimethylpentane,” meanwhile sokka is calling his dealer because there wasn’t enough room left on the board to add an s that could have doubled his score. zuko’s just like what the fuck is a dimethylpentane, and sokka and azula both stare at him as if he is an idiot.
