In a constant state of melancholy and yearning, using this blog as a quiet way to express my feelings and hyper fixations so I don’t drown in them

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.

One time they just stuck him in a hole in the ground for a whole episode.

This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.

If you frequently find yourself in random situations while your friends happen to be experiencing problems maybe you, too, are too smart for the narrative.

My favorite is that Sokka absolutely would've just navigated them out of the desert, so they had to put him on acid the entire time.

We really want to see how Katara handles soloing a brutal situation for this episode, so we're going to come up with excuses to nerf everyone else. Aang is having a mental breakdown, that's easy. Toph can't see shit and has bonus point depression. Sokka is tripping balls. And ... go!

[miss-nerd-alert]

When Sokka would’ve figured out the “love is brightest in the dark” riddle in like two seconds, so they stuck him in a completely different part of the cave with the basically useless musician nomads and wild animals.

You don’t have to make your smart characters dumber to make a problem challenging, you just gotta put them in a situation.
