the essence of zukka is incredibly easy to nail down it still confuses me that people ARE so confused but it's like ok... other than toph sokka was the most open one to actually accept zuko into their group in a non-hostile way (not that say katara was wrong at all but he was definitely not as mad as her) and as much as the life changing field trip jokes are funny they were ALREADY somehow ride or die the second zuko said no we'll take my war balloon. they didn't even take the damn trip yet.
they're enemies to begrudging acquaintances to immediate ride or dies for life. they're the plan guy (sokka) and the runs into action without literally ANY thought guy (zuko). hey JERKS how's your JERKBENDING 😙. they're the blue spirit and an honourary kyoshi warrior. in the comics they had a little club where they "swordbended" together bc they both fight with swords... like that is so stinking cute... they were taught by the SAME GUY actually... they're both the eldest of the group and brothers to prodigy sisters, they both lost their mother and in a way their father... nonbender/bender duo, firelord/ambassador or prince/son of the chief of the southern water tribe.
they were both raised with expectations, sokka was a parentified child and zuko an infantilised one. zuko is an idiot and sokka ISN'T but he's prone to silliness and having fun over the course of his narrative arc and zuko needs to relax once every 30 hours or he'll die from a stomach ulcer. they both tell dogshit jokes and are the only ones who probably think they're funny and they both hate each others jokes. they would probably invent their own language if they could. they're the most different ever and yet the exactly the same person. they're stupid teenage boys and child soldiers and forefront leaders of a nation. they're going to grow up together.
in 2021 there was an article pointing out we don't know who sokka was with as an adult and we do know zuko was a single father and mai and him DID break up and it would be weird for 100% of them to stay with the person you were dating when you were 16. it's one of sokka's va's favourite ships who is arguably knowledgeable about his own character. it IS the live action actors favourite ship and they call each other their boyfriend or whatever. one of the first full convos zuko had with him was him trying to make him feel better in the most insane autistic way possible talking about silver sandwiches. they would probably smoke weed together and invent a brand new brilliant machine that only one of them can run. IT'S EASY WHAT'S NOT CLICKING HERE.

ok so my thoughts about the atla teaser
ok first of all, im actually crying (i wish i was joking) but purely because I'm so fucking autistic and the thought of new atla stuff makes me insane and no I have a whole show and we have a date and I heard the music and ITS ALTA AND IM A BIT INSANE LIKE LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE MY FAMILY
ok still crying about it and super excited but I'm gonna try to be objective. it doesn't look too bad. it's not great and I feel like certain things look too fake (cough appa and momo cough) BUT I don't think that that has to make it bad. it can look whacky and fit in and look alright if the writing and the filming is good. I feel like some of the costumes look like cgi but I'm not going mad about it.
I know some people might be against it but I love the actors, I think they fit really well their characters (still have to see them in action but just by vibes) ANDD zukos scar wasn't that bad right??? like in the promo pictured it looked way worst (??? idk I'm alright with it
really like the landscapes, they look cool. I still want to see how they are going to look on 'normal" scenes and not just a landscape shot tho.
AND SUKIIII!!!!!!!!! LOVE HER ALREADY (found it absolutely HILARIOUS THAT WHEN THEY BUT SUKI AND SOKKA TOGETHER THE VOICE IN OFF SAYS 'theres only one way to keep it straight' LMAOOOOO) not really sure how I feel about the costumes bc they feel both really overdone and cheap at the same time, it's making me feel weird idk
ok so, generally it doesn't look bad but it has a weird feeling. I'm going to watch it and hopefully love it but I'm 100% sure that it's going to be way better than the previous movie.

What are some "problematic" ships you like?
do you really want to know because I have some really problematic ships? If so I'll tell you. A lot of them have age differences. Sometimes big ones. A lot of them are with evil people. And a lot of them aren't straight. And lot of them are just plain, well taboo. This will probably be long so stop reading if you don't want to read an essay.
My problematic ships:
Tumblr media
Roy Mustang x Edward Elric Fullmetal Alchemist: ok really problematic straight out of the gate. Not only because of age difference but also because Roy Mustang is technically Ed's boss/superior officer in the military. Not that Ed fully listens to everything Roy says. And Roy constantly teases him about it. Roy is also snake but someone trying to change things for the better. He's also has done a lot of bad things. But so has Ed. They are both to messed up people trying to fix things they've done wrong and they are both intimately aware of that about each other. They both are incredibly brilliant and have in common the type of powers they use. You need to watch Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 to understand(not brotherhood. 2003 first) they are not canon but the canon ships bore me and lack any real romance so there you go.
Tumblr media
Luz Noceda x Philip Wittebane: I know I know! This one is really fucked up. So fucked up. And Lunter is my otp. Believe me I know. But I have a dark fascination for this ship. Especially considering every interaction Luz and Philip had. And how much they have in common.. Like this my go to ship for when I want angst and trauma and just to see a dumpster fire. When I want Luz angst. I love Lunter. If Lunter is my happy ending, this ship is if I want tragedy and bad endings. This my depression ship!
Tumblr media
Zuko x Happiness avatar the last airbender(anyone who is not Mai because she honestly sucked.) I am not a Mai fan. She is a horrible written character to me personally. And just horrible for Zuko. I mostly love any Zuko ship that has a water tribe sibling in it. But now a days that seems too toxic for people. You can look up the reasons in the anti zutara, anti zukka, anti zuko tag. But Zuko is my favorite character. Anything that gives him happiness makes me happy. Over all this mostly seems toxic because of Zukos past and family. But he had a redemption arc. One of the best. He deserves some happiness as he works hard to change things as fire lord.
Tumblr media
Lunter/Luz x Hunter: You understand this needs no explanation. You know the owl house Fandom.
Tumblr media
Dipper x Bill gravity falls: Yeah this one is really really bad. I think I have a really messed up taste for romance. Especially where age difference comes into play? Maybe I'm a masochist? Who knows. But I have a soft spot for adhd/autistic characters with older/immortal people. I have a soft spot for immortals/dangerous people protecting said autistic/adhd people.
Tumblr media
Bakudeku my hero academia : I have a soft spot for redeemed bullies who actually put in the work to change. One of my favorite movies was a walk to remember.
Just in general a running theme I seem to have in a lot of my problematic ships:
Tumblr media
age difference
Tumblr media
Gay
Tumblr media
power imbalance
Tumblr media
In love with the Bully
Tumblr media
In love with the villian
Tumblr media
And sometimes its just plain taboo, toxic, or just un healthy. But I love it!

For the ask game: owen from 911ls and zuko from atla 👀
owen
sexuality headcanon
bisexual
otp
billy/owen because they fucking hate each other and I think it's hilarious
brotp
poor judd is always dragged into his bullshit 😔
notp
gwyn deserves so much better I'm not sorry
first headcanon that pops into my head
he probably has a tattoo in a very embarrassing place
favorite line from this character
ok I will give him this one win: "126 is a family. These uniforms bind us tighter than blood. Like family, we argue, screw up, let each other down. But as long as we keep fighting for one another there is no challenge cannot rise to, there is no crisis that we cannot overcome. This building stands today not because of its bricks and mortar, but because of the heart and soul of the family inside of it" because fuck yeah, they are a family <33
one way in which I relate to this character
annoying bitch representation ig
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
literally everything?? but especially how he makes EVERYTHING about him. even things that are completely unrelated. like. does he ever get sick of the world revolving around him??? does he???? and the other thing is how when he had cancer, the biggest thing he was worried about was his hair and his dick. like. maybe I'm just biased because my family is full of people dying--literally dying--of cancer but that shit was like a slap to the face. I'd be so embarrassed if I was him. imagine telling your son to his face that you care more about your hair and your fucking abilities more than you care about the very real, very damaging trauma that comes from watching a parent wither and die right before your eyes. the ls cancer storyline isn't just annoying, it's offensive (to me, at least) and a big part of it is because of owen's attitude
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
problematic. not my fav. just problematic <3
zuko!!!!!!!! my baby boy!!!!!!!!!!!
sexuality headcanon
he's the gayest little guy I've ever laid eyes on. I've stayed silent on this issue long enough
otp
I'm a zukka truther at heart but I also think jetko has the potential to be funny
brotp
zuko and toph!!! lowkey wish there was an ep before sozin's comet where they hit the town and caused some problems together
notp
zutara. I'm sorry but it's true ,, it's just. a painfully straight ship no matter how you twist it. doesn't pass the vibe check
first headcanon that pops into my head
he's also the most autistic guy to ever exist so jot that down
favorite line from this character
"they don't see our greatness. they hate us, and we deserve it" yesssss boy recognize the wrongdoings of your people and fight for redemption not just for yourself but for your nation yessssssssssss
one way in which I relate to this character
autism <3 also family issues (I haven't been burned in the face tho <333 thank fuck)
thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
ghsldkfjsg every time I watch him re-introduce himself to the gaang in s3,,,great job little buddy that's the worst anyone's ever done it <3
cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
he's both. he's my cinnamon roll and he's also a problematic fave. he contains multitudes <333

zuko or azula for the ask game?
tysm for the ask 🥰i did both cuz i can’t choose!!
ZUKO
favorite thing about them- his swords, i think it’s so cool and i love that he wasn’t the best at firebending so he worked hard at something else
least favorite thing about them- sometimes fanon interpretation of him rubs me the wrong way like a lot of people baby him
favorite line- i’m never happy >:(
brOTP- zuko, aang and sokka, they have so much potential as a bff trio like they're hilarious
OTP- zukka! it is my fav zuko ship (but i still prefer sukka for sokka) great shippp💕💕💕
nOTP- idk this is hard cuz i don’t really have notps!! i said in my mai version that i used to love mai//ko but lost interest idk why
random headcanon- im well onboard w trans, autistic zuko but i also love ace zuko or demisexual zuko which are a little more rare
unpopular opinion- ok now we are getting controversial👏ponytail zuko isn’t as bad as everyone says i still think his s1 look is cool and there should be more art if it
song i associate with them- daylight by taylor swift, its like s3 zuko surrounded by friends being thankful for them
favorite picture of them- i apologise
Tumblr media
AZULA
favorite thing about them- all her sweet moments in ‘the beach‘ ughh and her bending is so cool
least favorite thing about them- how sad her ending is :,(
favorite line- Trust Is For Fools, Fear Is The Only Reliable Way
brOTP- azula and katara in an au have so much bff potential
OTP- maizulee (mai x azula x tylee) i talked abt this in my other post but in summary i love these three sm 🥰
nOTP- idk no strong opinions, personally hc her as a lesbian so i don’t rlly like ships w guys but ofc that’s not canon so i have nothing against people who ship her w guys
random headcanon- she likes classical music alot and it always calms her down
unpopular opinion- she would be an amazing friend and sister in an au and i think she was jealous of mai and zuko either because she wanted someone to love her like that or because she liked mai
song i associate with them- hoax, mad woman and this is me trying by taylor swift
favorite picture of them- she looks so cute and happy in this picture😭

Ok but I feel bad when I have headcanons that some characters are autistic like Zuko or Keith Kogane because I’m not autistic and I feel like it’s not my place :/ I have adhd, which is pretty similar to autism on some points, and I’ve seen autistic people talk about why they think these characters are autistic and it always made sense to me. Like I can’t remember them cause Shit memory but I have read multiple posts of autistic people listing stuff these characters do that they also do, as an autistic person, and that’s why they relate to the character etc... which obviously makes you considerate the headcanon at least a bit. And it’s always made sense to me, once explained. And I don’t know if I should feel bad or not for having these headcanons 😭

AU where Zuko REALLY settled into his simple tea shop life in Ba Sing Se and refused to stop.
The gaang practically have to beg him to join and in the end he just does it to piss off his dad.
Aang: *tugging at Zuko’s sleeve* c’moonnn I gotta learn fire bending
Zuko: No. I have customers to serve (and keep your voice down!)
Aang: please!! You’re the only one who can teach me
Zuko: not true! There are plenty of fire benders out there and this one’s working a 9-5 so try elsewhere! … Also are you gonna order any tea or not??
Toph: *in the middle of pai sho with Iroh* I’ll have some jasmine please, Lee
Zuko: Ok. That I can do!

OK NEURODIVERGENT GAANG TIME BC I WANNA
these hcs are kinda halfway set in a modern au bc thats my context for this ! (gonna split it up so its not as long bc i drafted the original and it was LONG) water tribe siblings first !!!
Sokka
adhd/autism king 😌
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of Sokka standing on a raised stone platform with a map of the Fire nation hanging behind him. He’s holding his arms stiffly by his side with a wide-eyed look on his face, brows raised as he has his mouth open, saying something. End ID.]
- schedules to survive, he likes to know what hes getting into and if you try to change plans on him without warning he’ll be very resistant
- smart kid who doesnt study, oh he tries, oh boy does he try, he ends up reading the same sentence over and over until he gets distracted by drawing something, working on the blueprint for his latest invention, or with researching something completely unrelated to what he’s mean to be studying. then he tosses and turns all night because he’s stressed by not having studied, but when he actually takes the test he makes a 105, despite there not even being a bonus question, he just answered the essay question so well the teacher gave him an extra 5 points
- special interests?? we got em!!! classic weaponry (think swords, boomerangs, but also, like canons and catapults and shit) engineering/physics, art/drawing, strategy games. he tends to hyperfocus within his special interests, so like for a week he was hellbent on building his own full sized trebuchet, much to the dismay of Gran Gran who just wanted to grow her tomatoes without them being crushed by said full size trebuchet
- (also he plays all types of games probably, but he def plays those ones where you take over the world, like the ones online and azula also plays them too and they end up being rivals, while not actually knowing who the other is outside of their usernames)
- he also talks a lot in his classes/is like the ‘class clown’ and ppl think this is him not focusing but engaging this way actually helps him focus way more than sitting silently, a lot of teachers dont understand it but the ones who do are actually paying attention and realize that he’s generally talking/joking about their current topic
- some observations (this shit is all canon babey!!!) - sokka is great at being a leader and communicating in groups he’s in but he really really struggles in front of crowds, one-on-one and sokka can talk well, joke and stuff but as soon as he’s separate from other people and everyone is just listening he clams up (solar eclipse pt 1). he also loves to joke and make people laugh, and a lot of the time he misinterprets stuff because he’s autistic but he also will realize this and do it anyway because he thinks it’s funny and he likes laughing with his friends (idk if this happens in canon but i do this and sokka does too bc i said so :^). He also takes up the protector/comforting role but despite his best intentions he can sometimes say insensitive stuff and not even realize what he’s done to upset people (when he happily told aang ‘the whole world thinks your dead!’) works best when he feels needed, if he feels unnecessary or like something doesnt matter he struggles to complete it (i feel like the beginning of sokka’s master rlly demonstrates what i mean here), and this goes both ways, he will put too much value into certain things that he cares about and can get his priorities mixed if he’s focused too much on what he believes matters more than what might be most pressing (zuko destroyed his suki sculpture, oh right bc he was attacking aang)
Katara
she also has adhd/autism, (so do both Hakoda and Kya 💙)
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of Katara, Hakoda, Sokka, and Bato. Hakoda has his hand on Katara’s shoulder as they both look at Bato who is saying something, she has curious look on her face with her brows raised, while Hakoda looks exasperated. Sokka beside him his also looking curiously up at Bato, with one brow raised and the other furrowed. Bato has a neutral expression on his face as he speaks. End ID.]
- palms sweaty thoughts spaghetti, she tries to be practical bc she thinks someone needs to be but really her brain is like a runaway train, she sees something that needs doing and is like, guess ill do that now! and drops whatever she was doing first. she can get very anxious because of this because all the thing that need doing start to pile up because theyre all in her brain at once. that and as much as she tries to be practical she’s very impulsive, getting help from other people really helps alleviate this stuff
- interacting w ppl, when she was only part of her own smaller community she had a lot less toll on her, bc she knew everyone and was used to them, as she meets more people she gets really frustrated with how many people seem to refuse to say what they really mean. Katara is very straightforward herself and she says what she means, so even tho she gets more and more perceptive when interacting with new people, she resents how much she has to work just to decipher what people really mean half the time.
- caring for ppl, with people she cares about communicating is much easier bc she knows them, so she’s very open about her feelings around these people, and she can be hyper empathetic at times, but then sometimes she will say SUPER insensitive stuff off the cuff because she’s just very impulsive and she might regret it after the fact but she really struggles with apologizing because being wrong makes her feel like ppl are going to reject her
- perceptions, she knows what’s expected of her by the world, but she really rejects the idea that she has to stay in her role. still, she has internalized a lot of these expectations and tries to perform them, even when she sometimes struggles. beyond herself, she’s very certain about what she knows is wrong and has a strong moral code, she sees something wrong and she wants to fix it.
- she’s awful in school, not because she’s not smart, but she’s smart in ways that society does not appreciate. she doesnt care at all about all the worksheets and math she’s never gonna use, and all the history that got distorted, she’s much better at learning stuff on her own and she will go on deep dives of subjects she cares about and is super knowledgeable abt them.
also:
Tumblr media
[ID: A cropped screenshot of Sokka with his arms extended outwards, palms flat as he gestures. He has a slight grin on his face with his mouth open to speak, eyebrows raised and looking at the viewer calmly. He’s wearing his usual blue tunic with the Earth Rumble XI belt along with his earth kingdom bag hanging across his chest. The text on the image says, “This post made by ADHD Sokka gang. End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: a cropped screenshot of Hakoda, he has a serious expression on his face as he looks ahead. The text on the post reads, “This post made by ADHD Hakoda gang.” End ID.]
from this post (part of what inspired me to write these out) @meteor-sword​ now just katara needs one 😄
adhd aang next, i will finally live up to my url (will edit with a link when i post)

i'd like the rest of your opinion on jet if that's ok i like hearing peoples thoughts on him :)
SORRY i didn't see this okayyy hrm i can do that but i'll stick it under a cut. My rambles.
w the disclaimer that this really is just my opinion which means what my mind has scrambled up with without any prodding at it or outside interference (and i don't really read about or interact w content w jet and never really DID just as a btw) but basically: the way this show frames characters is very deliberate and going beyond the initial projection of who you're "meant" to see them as can be difficult sometimes (not just for this show, i mean in general wrt media analysis), esp when there's nothing else to like... cushion that.
for example iroh is obviously a fan favourite and i love him as a person who loves zuko (in both interps of that sentence), and their dynamic is really important (particularly + the standpoint of iroh being his brother's brother and what that means) but he was also you know, a revered general who lead a years long siege in support of the colonial regime...? this is kind of a mirror of what i'm getting at in that the show doesn't WANT you to or even feels the need to particularly dwell on that, even if his active hand in the war and then the subsequent movement to dismantle it firsthand is significant, because if people dwelt on it they... REALLY wouldn't like him as much on a much larger scale and he wouldn't be the same character anyways. i actually think it's a disservice to say the show doesn't at alllll address this bc i think it's obviously a huge part of who his character is next to zuko even though obviously the children's show is not going to be able to handle colonialism or genocide in a way that doesn't in some way feel flattened obv. anyway.
this is essentially why it took me such a while to warm up to jet even though he is a pretty cookie cutter "look beyond what you see" guy bc i couldn't really DO IT other than holding obviously a lot of sympathy for him and knowing he is deliberately presented as a certain kind of quote unquote extreme product of the fire nation's tyranny, much like hama is as another popular example, even if in real life it would actually be a pretty normal reaction and that hating your oppressors obviously doesn't make you evil. my autistic ass (SORRY) simply has to imagine a world where he can eventually go "i shouldn't have tried to kill an entire village of innocent people My bad" and it's easier to think about it wrt he is also you know, like 16? and obviously a victim. i've mentioned before i struggle with moral scrupulosity and what i consider to be "right" which does affect the things i like in context as well, and jet falls pretty squarely on morally pretty dark, esp in comparison to the other antagonists on the show, but that doesn't make him a villain obv. other than that the show itself presents him as an antagonist meant to cause conflict, and you're meant to sit with what it means to see people driven to such extremes bc they feel they have no choice, but you're not necessarily meant to like him i don't think, especially when you initially meet him. he really comes off as like a Cool Guy who's all charm who uses it to get his way which can feel kind of slimey i s'pose.
thinking about jet in regards to ZUKO is what helped me wrap my brain around him as a whole and soften to his like, harshness i guess bc i think they're good foils for each other. i think without making him necessarily fangless to do it that they're a really interesting duo and i honestly love that he came back to deliberately become an antagonistic figure to zuko as well (even that both "sides" just happened to meet him 😭 like what are actually the chances lol) and that prior to it they were working side by side even for a short time. i honestly wish the show was longer than it was bc i wish he hadn't figured out iroh was a firebender as quickly as he did, or at least hadn't assumed zuko was also one, bc i think it would've been really really interesting to see the behind the scenes conflict of them being friends and working together and jet forming some sort of relationship with zuko and iroh, and THEN finding out they're who he considers inherently immoral and an enemy even though he knows he and zuko are very similar/agree/he trusts them, and what that would mean for him. the initial "he'd just freak out and accuse them of betraying their trust and the same fight happens anyway" would be a natural conclusion but i can also see it NOT happening, bc while jet is an incredibly complex interesting character i think him coming to terms with certain things and shifting his mindset would have been fulfilling for ME at least.
i know that a character doesn't have to "redeem" themselves to be worthy and that moral pureness is not exclusive to being a Good Character and i like plenty of morally grey characters trust me etc etc but i just tend to want to... enjoy engaging characters who reflect my own values enough that it's justifiable WITHIN THE CONTEXT of the rest of whatever's going on in/the relationships of the other characters which is essentially why... he's fine and i like him but he's not my favourite. and what i mean by that is like as in, i love team avatar and i don't think they themselves would be friends with jet entirely as is, but if he was in another setting or situation or show or what the hell ever i honestly wouldn't care as much. i also think it's sort of strange to be like "ha ha you don't like the character who killed/wanted to kill kids" as if that's not like totally normal to be uncomfortable with 😭 anyway. other than all that i really like how he's a retro cool anime character transplanted into the show and i like his dumb mouth grass thing and i think he could've been a cool ally and wish they'd have leant more into his connection and closeness to the freedom fighters esp in ba sing se. i also think the angle that he's somehow kissed everyone in team avatar barring the littles is really fucking funny and they would gossip about him if it wasn't so like, tragic... also i don't think he died i think he can run real fast.
OH edit: one last thing i'll tack on to like the beginning of my own thought process re: the cushioning characters are afforded we see i think actually nothing of jets backstory other than what he says and nothing ELSE of his goal in life other than like, staying alive + keeping his fighters safe + what they stood for and fighting the fire nation. and while that's all like definitely plenty to establish his character it's why i couldn't come around to him as quickly bc i didn't really see the point when regardless of everything i've said i pretty much don't think he WOULD want to "redeem" himself or change as a character in any way and he's kind of just some guy to me so i didn't really want to put the effort in myself. i don't fault anyone who does ofc.

My general class 1-A hcs before I forget to write them all down
Todoroki starts to grow his hair out in his third year, as it reminds him of his mother and sister.
Uraraka gets cold really easily, which is why she always wears stockings with her uniform all the time
Aoyama does needlepoint, and is really good at it
He is Japanese-white (Mom is from Toulouse, France, Father is Japanese)
Jirou really loves Joan Jett, as well as The Runaways. 
Ashido is a Hot girl, and a Barb I will take no criticism on this matter.
Sero (contrary to popular belief) does not smoke weed (or in general)
He is also Latino (Puerto Rican on his dad’s side, Japanese on his mom’s)
On a completely unrelated note, he was raised on Notorious B.I.G, and Tupac.
Kaminari loves Star Wars, and Avatar the last Airbender 
He has reffered to Todoroki as “Peppermint Zuko”
This led to an impromptu Avatar viewing in the dorms because “what do you mean you’ve never watched Avatar, Todoroki-kun?!”
Midoriya is Afro-Asian (father is 75% Jamaican/ 25% Japanese)
So is Ashido (her mother is from Zimbabwe, dad is Japanese)
Satou is also blasian (on his mother’s side, she’s from America)
Yaoyorozu listens to SZA, and relates to her songs about self worth and body image issues.
I will pepper in the fact that Yaoyorozu is plus-sized
Hagakure has a really cute Lolita aesthetic, and likes Komori’s sense of style. 
She also knits, and likes to join Aoyama when he does needlepoint, they like to catch up on gossip.
Ojiro could beat Bakugo in quirkless combat in less than five minutes.
It’s for this reason that he really admires Miruko! It gives him hope that even though he has a “boring” mutation quirk, perhaps he can be a hero one day…
Shouji is the strongest in class 1-A, period
He also likes to cuddle, and is touch starved from childhood
He’s pretty good friends with Kouda, Ojiro, Hagakure, Tokoyami, and Satou
Kouda is self conscious about his voice, so he doesn’t talk a lot. 
But he feels a lot safer with his classmates and mother! They’re picking up sign language to help him feel more comfortable talking without speaking.
He was raised by a single mother by the way
Satou learned to bake and cook from his mother and her family.
He’s especially close with his grandmother, her peach cobbler is his favourite dish of hers!
Asui was teased in school due to her froglike features, and nobody truly believed that she could be a hero
Joke’s on them, look at her now
Ashido loves roller skating, and does a lot of Jam skating. This really impressed class 1-A when they found out.
Kaminari really had the nerve to say “yo Ashido, I don’t skate, but I’m wearing heelies and that’s basically the same thing” 
He’s confused but he’s got the spirit.
Iida is Autistic
So is Midoriya, Asui, Kirishima, Uraraka, Aoyama, Kouda, and Todoroki.
As expected, End*vore was (and still kind of is) absolutely horrible about it.
But it’s ok now, because Shouto is now in an environment where they understand and support him better. 
Kaminari and Ashido both have Dyslexia
Kaminari has ADD, while Ashido has ADHD (no they are not the same things)
Ojiro meditates after classes are over. Helps him clear his head after everything his class has to go through on a daily basis if he has to go through Bakugo screaming in his ear one more time
Tokoyami can play the organ. Dark Shadow sings along. Don’t question it.
He’s also friends with Kuoiro, Reiko, and Komori from class 1-B
Because cryptids gotta stick together amirite?
Iida and Kirishima get into monthly arguments over which drink is superior: Orange Juice, or Lemonade
Everyone in class 1-A (with the exception of Bakugo because he’s stubborn) has learned their lesson against betting against Midoriya over who would win in quirk battles.
Basically, These kids are wholesome together, and shouldn’t have had to go through half of what they just went through.
