#that toph meets
Note
what’s ur opinion on suyin being sokka’s daughter?? (🤮🤮🤮)
oh my god i love this questionnnnnnnn😁😁😁😁😁😁 bc i get to argue against everyone’s silly little theory🤭🤭
my opinion is that that statement is WRONG! and that every reason people use to justify said theory that suyin is sokka’s kid is weak bc it can ALSO be used to justify the theory that BAATAR is sokka’s kid. (or varrick but i don’t like that one so i’m gonna #ignore it 😌)
“her kids look like sokka!” no. they look like their father. and HE looks like sokka.
“when we first meet suyin, she’s wearing armwraps like they do in the water tribe” literally what ru even talking about 💀her entire dance team wears them too - does that mean they’re all sokka’s kids???
also like in what world would SOKKA of all people be an absent father?? even if it was a fling or whatever idgaf he wouldn’t be completely absent from his child(ren)’s lives. not only because he’s loyal and caring and a beautiful man and i love him so so much, but also because he comes from the SWT and family and community are so so so important to them. ESPECIALLY to sokka, as someone who was entrusted with such care of his people and of his sister and so on. we see TIME AND TIME AGAIN how protective he is and how much he cares for those he loves. these are not traits of an absent father.
back on that baatar thing, it makes like 90x more sense for HIM to be sokka’s kid (and suki’s bc i love sukka and i am deciding that they stayed together forever bc it’s my blog and i make the rules).
an architect non-bender with darker skin who literally LOOKS like he’s related to sokka?
an architect. non-bender. who literally. looks. like. sokka.
based on pretty much no info of either suyin’s or baatar’s parentage (except toph), isn’t it more tangible that the metal clan get their supposed water tribe heritage from their father’s side?
anyway slay the boots house down baatar is a sokka kid #not suyin😌
#ask#atla#lok#sokka#suyin#baatar#godsamn this was a long ass post#anyway#suyin’s dad is probably that guy from that one comic#that toph meets#SATORU#i knew i remembered his name lmao#anyway yeah#ur welcome anon😙😙😙😙#analysis

sokka hates the fire nation but nonetheless subscribes to their logic through internalizing his own dehumanization, albeit in the name of sacrificing what is necessary to resist imperialism. on the other hand, aang refuses to sacrifice his humanity, which is intrinsically tied to the culture that was deemed deserving of extermination, and by recognizing the fullness of his personhood and his intrinsic right to exist, he defeats the tenets of imperialism on an ideological battleground. that is why it is so crucial that aang’s influence over sokka, as an air nomad, and as someone who did not grow up under the looming shadow of colonialism and genocide, is what helps him regain the childhood he had forsworn in the name of war—his laughter, his joy, and his humanity.
#aang&sokka#aang#sokka#obviously aang performs this function for every principal member of the gaang#with katara it’s immediate (see: penguin sledding 5 minutes after meeting)#and with toph it’s less pronounced (id argue that sokka is more crucial to tophs process of valuing her humanity than aang although aang#lays the groundwork for it by being the one to recognize her potential)#and with zuko he has also been dehumanized by the fire nation but like. it’s not the same of course#whereas sokka and aang have largely been dehumanized in the same way#as victims of genocide#and obviously katara too#but katara has the same viewpoint as aang from the beginning#that she deserves to exist and fights for her cultural values#whereas sokka thinks that KATARA deserves to exist. that everyone does EXCEPT himself#so aang’s influence reminds him that he’s NOT uniquely disposable/sacrificial/unworthy#he’s a person too!#and he does so through the simple bond of friendship. through joy & laughter & fun#the values that were instilled into him by the air nomads#and it’s not like sokka COMPLETELY internalizes it#or that aang is the only one who attempts to impart this lesson#but it’s why their friendship is so important#because sokka accepts imperialist logic and aang refuses to#aang’s importance cannot be overstated#which is kind of funny to say bc he is the protagonist. the titular role#but ppl like to ignore that#which is crazy . but whatever

Toph goes to the Jasmine Dragon in Ba Sing Se and meets Zuko as Lee, knows he's lying about his name, but just assumes that he's trans but hasn't come out yet
She keeps dropping hints that she's an ally and not a snitch
#atla#atla zuko#atla toph#trans#shes trying to subtly be like hey you can tell me the name you actually go by i wont tell anyone miss or mx#she had no clue what kind of trans this very (presumably) cis guy is#but shes being supportive#she realizes that Lee from the tea shop is Prince Zuko later when they formally meet but she still thinks hes trans#because she just doesnt question her earlier assumption that hes trans#also because maybe he doesnt consider himself a true prince after leaving#so if he ever calls himself a prince shed detect that he didnt think it was true and assume it was for trans reasons#(even funnier if zuko later does come out as trans)

(based on this post by @waterfire1848) what if: sokka and zuko befriend each other in ba sing se!! after the initial shock, they eventually trust each other and even get matching earrings! besties!!
[ID: This is a three panel comic of a conversation between Sokka in his regular outfit, and Zuko as the Blue Spirit, both drawn in warm colors during a sunset. The first panel is a panoramic view of the two sitting on top of a roof in the Ba Sing Se skyline, surrounded by artificial lights. In the second panel, Sokka attentively watches a serious Zuko saying: “Halloween is so stupid. Dressing up, pretending to be someone you’re not...”. In the third panel, Sokka grabs at Zuko’s shoulder with one hand and gestures wildly with another, telling him: “You are the Blue Spirit!”; to which, he only looks away embarrassed and softly responds: “I know...”. End ID]
#my art#zukka#i love how dramatic they both are... they're so silly when together#i also adore those fics in which they meet in ba sing se and try to keep their friendship a secret only to be later discovered by toph:)#this is my love letter to those aus..... thank you so much#also: i once again posed for this thing... i know EXACTLY how sokka would move his hands... we understand each other#ANYWAY back to the tags#zukka nation#zukka fanart#sokka#zuko#sokka fanart#zuko fanart#later i found out this is a friends quote... huh#the colors here were kinda challenging! but i liked it!!!

Imagine if the GAang happened to meet the Crows.
Kaz and Toph planning to con people.
Sokka and Nina bonding over food.
Matthias and Aang talking about their faiths.
Suki and Inej sharing stories about their adventures as a Kyoshi Warrior/pirate captain.
Jes and Katara exchanging stories about their childhoods and their mothers.
Zuko and Wylan being overwhelmed by everything at first but enjoying their friends having fun.
BONUS: Iroh and Colm having tea together.
What do you think would happen?

toph learned both english and mandarin because the beifongs wanted her to learn something other than her mother tongue. but the ppl teaching her english was hella lazy so she didn't learn as much. but she learned the basics like how to say her name, her age, how she's feeling, etc. like she can keep up a decent conversation.
but she has trouble with her pronunciation, plurals, and articles. and SHE DOES NOT ADMIT THAT SHE NEEDS HELP. katara tried helping her with english a few times but toph always denied needing help. sokka & aang also tried to help, but again, toph.
then she met zuko, who just happens to be multilingual, speaks to toph in mandarin. and then he does manage to help toph with her english.
and in return, toph teaches the rest of team avatar how to speak mandarin (she taught them how to say swear words and thats it 😭)
IM OBSESSED WITH THIIIIIISSSSS. no you don’t understand this made my evening 😭 esp the last paragraph that’s so Toph it’s visceral. Anyway one of my favourite hcs from you specifically is the languages they speak, idk why but it sits so right with me.
also this leaves me under the impression that zuko snuck in English lessons and Toph only realised after he spoke to her in English and she responded way better than she usually would n she’s like: you sneaky son of a bitch
Zuko’s like: 🤷
#asks#my asks#atla#atla hc#toph hc#zuko hc#motheryvs#gonna answer the other one in a second but just gonna let this one sit bc it’s too good for people not to see 😭#anyway again thank youuuu for these they actually fuel my love for atla so much like you don’t even know#also I recently watched boy meets world again and hunnnn when I tell you what we said about katara/angela no you had a point#even the way they act (also angela is so underrated holy hell she was easily my favourite)

It brings me Great Joy thinking about how Toph Beifong would hate Essek Thelyss on a fundamental level. Like, on (non) sight. Because his whole deal is so diametrically opposed to her own. And he would even avoid her lie detecting abilities because he’s a ‘dainty little bitch’ (Toph should be allowed to swear) who never touches the ground.
Also Caleb would 100% invent some sort of braille out of indignation at his fellow Dirt Gremlin’s opinion on books. He would make an entire reading system out of spite, as well as teach Toph to read and write just so there was no longer a person so indifferent to books in his presence.
#a:tla#critical role#I think of crossovers for fun actually#and Toph meeting these two would be funny as fuck#I love these boys#but Toph the fuck would not#and be like flaming oil and water to them#lol#toph beifong#caleb widogast#shadowgast#essek thelyss#floaty boy would make Toph rage#and she ain’t even a barbarian

going through old posts and found that one about 40 yr old aang instead and my comment keeps making me giggle
aang: bumi! meet my kids :)
*camera cuts to zuko and sokka*:
#atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#sokka#aang#katara is the only one not on a leash#toph would only sometimes be on a leash#cause she keeps escaping#the mental image is just so funny to me#100 year old bumi finally meets his best friend again only to discover that he has adopted children

rich people club but its zuko, yue, mai, and toph drinking tea and bitching about ppl (yue was previously very sceptical about being mean about people, especially behind their back, but after spending more time with zuko, mai, and toph she gets more comfortable with it. but is still very polite about it)
mai: babies are such bitches. i mean, he whines constantly. it's like being around zuko. just get ahold of yourself, please. it's unbearable.
toph: and i told my dad that i'm not a little girl anymore! i can handle myself, but he still treats me like a kid! i mean, i could beat anyone that decided to mess with me, and just because even sokka could whoop his arse doesn't mean i can't handle myself!
zuko: azula called my hair shaggy. i can't believe her. you've seen her hair at the moment, she cut her own fringe and it's so uneven. how can you insult someone else's hair when your own hair looks like that? and aang said my hair looked really nice and he's the avatar, so i think his opinion has a higher value than azula's. (mai: isn't the avatar bald?)
yue: hahn is just a bit... too confident. not that there's anything wrong with that, but our personalities just clashed slightly. and he was always so eager for war, but violence isn't the only way to resolve a conflict and he needed to learn that. as well as learn that he mustn't seek glory and posperity for himself, but rather for our tribe and our people (toph: yeah! what a dunderhead!)
#(my zukka brain is also thinking about sokka getting zuko to bring him to a meeting purely because they're all so rich#he plans on very smoothly getting them to go shopping afterwards and then they might buy him things)#<- in his turn to shittalk he picks jet btw#atla#avatar: the last airbender#zuko#yue#mai#toph beifong#princess yue

what taylor swift album each of the gaang would fuck with
(in my not exactly humble but ultimately correct opinion) you're in for the long haul so it's under the cut :)
aang: fearless and lover, don't get me wrong, he loves the sad songs, the heartbroken songs, the angry songs just as much as anyone else, but he just connects with like, the slight naivety of it all? like he's def matured since his first few crushes but it's the joy of that first love that really sweeps him off his feet ya know? and then the lover album is a more mature perspective on like a loving relationship ("cornelia street" who???) and he just loves it - OH and 1989, he and suki FUCK with 1989
katara: she's a reputation girl no doubt about it, "don't blame me" is literally her song, she owns it thank you very much, and she and zuko are reputation besties who have all the merch and they scream all the lyrics and wholeheartedly believe that rep tour is the best tour of all time HOWEVER she loves loves loves "marjorie", "don't you ever grow up" (balls her eyes out at the pair of them, but when she first heard dyegu she was sobbing -) and while they're not her fav albums, she loves singing fearless and lover with aang
sokka: ok, sokka is one of those fans who you don't realise are that intense until they are screaming themselves hoarse at folklore, mkay? I'm talking, it's not just hakoda and bato giving him the worried side-eye, it's everyone AND their mother (well, not everyone's mother but ya know) cause like, sokka was DEF involved in this major college cheating scandal and got his heart uber uber broken and had no support system because he just... didn't tell anyone because he didn't want people to worry and so screaming folklore is his therapy session. oh, and when he was dating yue their album was speak now, they literally did their homecoming king and queen dance to "enchanted" they were that couple, and he still loves the album so much but he just... can't speak for hours after a folklore song pops up, and couldn't speak for a week after the eras tour (in a similar vein, he's a big "the archer" fan, he and toph vibe with it so hard)
toph: she loves reputation (NOT for the same reasons as katara and zuko but they all still vibe with each other) because there's soooo much happening and she can literally feel the beat in her bones and the songs slap so hard and she can rage in peace :))) also she fucks so hard with "picture to burn", the harry styles saga (style, ootw, iion, wonderland, etc), "holy ground", "miss americana and the heartbreak prince" and "the archer" (and believe me she will go OFF at anyone who doesn't like the archer because "the beat's not supposed to drop, that's the whole point -)
zuko: reputation reputation reputation. all the fucking way y'all. is it shocking that "I did something bad" is his song, not his favourite (his favourites are the speak now vault tracks, "that's the way I loved you", "message in a bottle", and "wonderland" but that's neither here nor there) and no one, NO ONE gets in the way during the line "if a man talks shit then I owe him nothing" like sorry taylor, that's zuko's line actually. also he thought he was going to love folklore but then "seven" came up and he literally could not cope, and when he heard evermore was going to be in a similar vein he refused to listen to it too - he did eventually listen to the albums when he got into a better headspace for them and now really does likes them, but he avoids "seven" like the plague
suki: suki loves the breakup albums, red and midnights, and everyone, including suki, is confused because no offence to my girl but she's had one break up and that was with sokka, and whole it was sad, it was mutual and nothing bad happened they just decided they'd be better as friends, but she loves the albums so so much, so who is anyone to deny her that? also, she didn't like "me!" at first and thought it was so so cringe, but now she loves it and hates that she used to hate it and hates that taylor doesn't play it on the set list at concerts due to people hating on it (even though suki would never tell taylor that she hated on one of her songs, she still feels guilty) - btw, she and aang are besties and they work at the same place and it takes them like forty minutes on a good day to drive there so they blast 1989 the whole time and it's such a bop
yue: speak now girly, did I fucking stutter? she ate that album up when it first came out and she ate up the rerecording when that came out too, and don't get me started on the vault tracks (she feels as if a piece of her childhood was missing because "electric touch" ft fallout boy wasn't on the og track and she looooves fallout boy) "enchanted" is her and sokkas song and when it comes on they do a lil dance together even though they don't love each other in the same way anymore, they still love each other!!! but she now loves "enchanted" separate from sokka ya know? yue also loves midnights, literally because suki loves it so so much so yue listened to it for her (simp) and fell in love with it (and suki, it was truly a win win situation for her) but she specifically listens to midnights: 3am version because "paris" is her favourite and she doesn't understand how anyone (ahem, suki) could listen to midnights without listening to "paris" at least three times
azula: we all know she used to pretend to hate taylor swift but now she respects the hustle (but she's not a die hard swiftie and will happily critique her alongside katara, who azula was surprised to see critiquing taylor but katara's got her priorities in place she knows what's up) and azula loves red (duh) and evermore. surprisingly, she's not as into reputation as zuko and katara, and while she enjoys some of the songs on there, she won't intentionally listen to the whole album on her lonesome. she, sokka, and ty lee wore matching "cowboy like me" outfits to the eras tour
mai: fearless, and HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME TBE FUCK OUT I'm right. she's like aang in this regard, she grew up with all these expectations on her for corporation alliances and shit and she couldn't help but picture herself finding love for HERSELF having the CHOICE like, she will defend "love story" to the day she dies because it resonated so much with baby mai finding love against all odds and at the end her parents agreeing to it. now she's older and recognises a few, uh... interesting points about her upbringing, but she's still gonna defend baby mai's love for fearless. I know that the tortured poets department hasn't come out yet but... I have a feeling that mai will fuck SO HARD with that one too, but she's more a fan on individual songs than whole albums ("delicate", "paper rings" (ty lee simp lmao), "seven", "better than revenge", "getaway car", "endgame", etc)
ty lee: she actually sobbed when lover came out, I can't tell you how much lover resonated with her, she loved the aesthetic the vibe the songs, and like she literally had imposter syndrome from being a swiftie because while she appreciates the angry and sad songs, she's searching for the joy and a lot of swifties were like "no she's past that point so we have to be too" and she felt quite isolated BUT then taylor released lover and ty lee felt so so seen cause like, it's a happy album with sad songs and that's all a girl can ask for. ALSO she loves "bejeweled" and "slut!" I kid you not "slut!" is probably her fav song even though it's not on lover. she also loves evermore because it's a sad album with happy songs (do you see) and she broached the idea of her and azula wearing matching "cowboy like me" outfits but azula didn't respond at first and ty lee thought that it wasn't a good idea but azula didn't respond because she was texting sokka and sokka fell in love with the idea and they spent like two weeks figuring out exactly what it would look like and they brought their ideas to ty lee for the final approval and she was like "... you guys actually wanna do this?" but yeah. they all slayed
ok now onto the adults I'll be quick
hakoda screams louder but bato knows more songs, like hakoda is making himself heard what a king, but there's quite a few songs he's unfamiliar with. bato is singing like, the usual volume but he's consistent, he's singing along to every song
hakoda loves 1989 and reputation because the whole drama happened during his and bato's breaks between tours and then they got sent off before reputation came out, so hakoda was so invested and then really pissed cause he had to wait a couple of months before he got back so katara could explain the intricacies of the new album to him
bato is like sokka, he loves folklore not because he's a folklore girly™ but just because of the vibes, however bato 🤝 mai, resonating deeply with "seven"
iroh is convinced that he can ask taylor to pop over for a nice cup of jasmine tea because he doesn't quite grasp how insanely popular she actually is, but unbeknownst to zuko, who scoffs whenever iroh mentions it because "there's no way", iroh is actually in contact with taylor because when she was just starting out she got sick before a concert and iroh have her a tea that helped her maintain her voice and get her back on track and he's been on a group chat with taylor ever since
#happily and unashamedly pushing all my modern au headcanons onto you#via my analysis#iroh does one day arrange for the gaang to meet her#and zuko cannot stop crying and hes so embarrased but its literally fine#sokka 🤝 taylor in comforting zuko#katara bakes brownies with ty lee and mai and toph and they arrive and taylor has also cooked brownies#its a little awkward but theres three teenage boys so it works out#taylor swift#atla#ty lee#mai#azula#yue#hakoda#bato#iroh#reputation#1989#red#fearless#debut#lover#folklore#evermore#midnights#the tortured poets department#the gaang#meta analysis#in my humble opinion

having rewatched my beetlejuice broadway bootleg and having seen the tour version, sometimes I like the tour a little more bc of how they pause after jokes to let the audience laugh. it also makes space for more wacky improv moments as the characters look/gesture/do weird things during the laugh break. a favorite moment, besides bj's 30 second scream, is when he's saying goodbye to delia (beej did a little lasso dance bc he's a Cowboy ✨ and delia returned the dance lol it was really cute).
I also liked the added joke of bj's dad's girlfriend being katherine hepburn (he also did the herpes version of the hepburn joke earlier, which I'd never heard before!).
basically, I love the broadway version (it's the og after all), but I also really enjoyed the tour version for all its new additions and marvelous talent of the cast.
#toph musings#sorry this is just my goofy rambling bc im still in my beetlejuice brainrot era#the hyperfixation is calming down to just a regular fixation tho which is nice#no more squeezing in my chest every time i think about it! hooray!#i still absolutely need them to come back to my state tho lol. i gotta meet the cast!!!!

Stars watches ATLA and then screenshots her discord liveblog and posts it out of context, part two: season 2 episodes 1-5
this is a follow up to this post about season 1. people in my notes who were like "i know the show super well and it's fun to see someone enjoying it the first time": that makes me happy, this is why i made this post!
(also, people who are like "i bet i can guess what episode some of these reactions were for even without context": you are very cool and you are also welcome to guess/point them out in the notes as long as you try to avoid things i haven't gotten to yet!)
without further ado, the start of season 2:
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE SWORDS. not pictured: me getting very excited every time a new fire nation girl showed up (i knew there was at least one important fire nation girl but there's THREE! at least!), even more incoherent emotions about zuko and iroh, and me going feral because i've now read a couple really good ATLA fics that were canon divergent or ended pre-s2, and i want to read ALL the ATLA fics now but i can't because most of them have spoilers!! 😭
also, people are still bullying me about the mysterious zuko spoilers that I don't know about. they're being dangled in front of my face behind discord spoiler bars. this is cruel and unusual
no spoilers in the notes please :) i'm up to s2 e5.
#stars has thoughts#stars watches atla#atla#atla spoilers#avatar the last airbender#liveblog#sorta#the first post was fun for me and people seemed to enjoy it so i'm gonna keep doing them!#this one is only 5 episodes not a whole season but that means i get to leave in more of the fun ones#still haven't met toph. i wanna meet toph!!!

I feel like there should be more content about Hollyberry and Tiger Lily. I mean, she’s Hollyberry’s granddaughter too
Sure neither know that yet, but still
#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#hollyberry cookie#tiger lily cookie#I don’t know whether I’m talking about official stuff or fan stuff#but regardless#although now I’m just imagining a scenario in which Hollyberry as a huntress meets Tiger Lily#and she’s just like “oh cool new hunting companion who kinda looks like my daughter in law”#and then they just hang out#all the while Hollyberry is completely unaware that this is her granddaughter#she just rolls up to the kingdom like “hey guys I’m back check out my new hunting buddy”#and Jungleberry and Royal Berry are just standing there in shock while Princess doesn’t know what’s going on#but regardless I think it would be neat to see a fic where these two meet in the jungle and talk#and all the while they’re unaware of their true relation#sort of like the talk Iroh and Toph have in ATLA where they don’t know who the other is#I dunno#random stuff
