Hey, I Was Wondering If You Had Any Thoughts About Sokka Returning To Piandao To Continue His Training?

right, bryke is out and there goes my last interest in the live-action

when sokka needs advice about how to process something internal, private, he’ll typically take it to toph. her calm manner of listening puts him at ease and he never doubts that she’ll keep his vulnerabilities to herself. her advice is frank, realistic and fair. 

when he needs someone to distract him, he goes to suki. she has a way of assessing what’s on his mind and pivoting madly away from it. her charm is impossible to resist, so when she puts her mind to it, she never fails to make him smile. 

when he wants someone by his side while he fixes a problem, he can’t go wrong with zuko. zuko proved that at the boiling rock. he’s ride or die, and sokka will never get over how validating it is to have an ally he can rely on no matter what. well, two allies. they also bring momo. 

when he wants someone to just sit with him and understand, that’s a job for katara. she’s his shadow and his witness, just as he is hers. no one else will ever be up to that task. 

but when there’s an external problem out in the world and he doesn’t know what to do about it, that kind of question can only go to aang. and nothing makes sokka happier than getting to watch the gears in aang’s brain work as he figures out a solution. this is what aang is great at, and it’s a treat to watch him excel at what he does. there’s that sense of pride, too, that sokka was part of this kid’s upbringing and now here he is, all wise and shit. (he was always wise, but let sokka have this one!!!) sokka was taught that it isn’t right to ask for help, but he knows better now, and when it comes to his amazing, brilliant, empathetic, wise friends, he never minds at all. 

anyone ever think about how sokka is always so happy to see suki because he’s her biggest fan and suki always comes back because she’s his boomerang because i do, all the time

what was sokka’s relationship with his mother like? did she, like ursa with zuko, encourage him to feel safe transgressing gender norms? did she patiently coax him into talking out his problems, letting him know that it is safe and healthy to express himself? did she marvel at his drawings just as much as she did at his handcrafted fishhooks and harpoons? did she tell him stories from kanna’s childhood in the north pole, sparking sokka’s interest in other lands even before he knew she was talking about another land? did she read to him? 

when he started to become a leader among the kids his age, did she take care to watch his mood to make sure he wasn’t burning out from the responsibility? when he devoted himself to protecting katara, did she make sure he knew that he was equally important? did she say it with enough conviction that he believed it in spite of the evidence to the contrary? 

when she bandaged his scrapes, did she stop him from brimming with pride over the injury? did she make certain he understood that violence and defending others weren’t what made him strong? 

when he lost her, did sokka try to keep her lessons in mind even as the mounting need for a strong military defense began to take over their village? what was it like the day sokka resolved in his mind that it wasn’t appropriate for a warrior to draw or read or feel?

i love sokka a normal amount

For real tho...

I believe Kaminari can be vry smart, and knows big brain words... but he only uses them to make jokes lol

And then there’s more

He uhh likes the news (weather channel too)

(The wiki thing) and we see that in the 1a vs 1b thing and the hero’s license exam, and he’s generally seen making well thought out observations (which is more of the author’s writing use to explain things tho)

(Wiki thing)

And let’s not forget his love for the arts!

School smarts is not all there is to intelligents and it sucks ppl still don’t believe this. This boy is very smart and people who don’t think this either (this is also me generalizing bc I’m salty)

A) ain’t looking very hard (I also blame the anime for dumbing him down a bit more) probs bc he’s a comedic relief character

Or

B) like to make jokes abt his stupidity to put someone down (often times this type of person can’t even string a sentence together very well lol, maybe they just want someone inferior idk I’m salty)

My point is, we can all dig a bit deeper. It’s always fun to try to see the nuance of characters, and when it’s a character like Denki, who as a character is not focused upon, has no background, and has very little degree of importance in the story, this is even more important. Also, STOP MAKING COMEDIC RELIEF CHARACTERS DUMB AND ONE DIMENSIONAL!!! I hate it thanks-

Heroes: Rising rant Number two

Did…..DID KAMINARI JUST PULL A BRAINY JOKE !?!?!?

He just said, “We’ve gone plus ultra way beyond what’s allowed by the labour standards act.”

He fucking knows the labour standards act.

WHO TF SAID KAMINARI DENKI IS STUPID ?!?!?!?!?

ANSWER ME YOU THOTS

More doodles of the Warners because my body naturally produces them at this point

Can you make an incorrect quote about Shinso and Kaminari?

Hitoshi: Hey Pikachu, how are yo-

Denki: You know, I never felt like a Pikachu. I feel more like a Jolteon. I don’t know why people refer to me as Pikachu.

Hitoshi:

Hitoshi: Kitten, do you not feel like a Pikachu, because you don’t feel like the main character? So you instead go with Jolteon, because he isn’t very important in the show?

Denki:

Hitoshi:

Mina: *In the bushes getting the tea*

Hitoshi: I’m getting Aizawa.

There’s nothing wrong with being scared, Norman, so long as you don’t let it change who you are.
