Sokka buys baby Izumi a pair of baby crocs and for a second Zuko genuinely considers divorce (but then he notices the little ducky charm and his heart melts)

for the requests for the color palettes Gucci™ and Sokka, Zuko and Toph high on cactus juice

So i kind of forgot to do this in a palette (i am very much sorry about that) but also fukin hell this is funny.

and yes this contains a reference to the crocverse by @nothing-more-than-hot-leaf-juice.

[ID: Sketch of Sokka, Zuko, and Toph (from Book 3). Zuko is dramatically sobbing, asking: “What’s a duck, Sokka? Why doesn’t it have a shell? How is it gonna stay safe without a shell, Sokka?!”. Toph is passed out on a couch in the back, with drool coming from the corner of her mouth, saying: “I see it. I see every colour. And I can’t even see.” Sokka is in the foreground, staring out into empty space. The wall of text behind him repeats “Shoes with holes in them” over and over. His eyes are huge and there is cactus juice dripping comically from one side of his mouth. A pair of crocs is reflected in his eyes. Sokka has seen god. End ID.]

I feel that it is important for my followers to know that i did, in fact, purchase rainbow tye-dye crocs after drawing them on iroh

Bryke wanted to bring crocverse ™️ to life In the new live action adaptation but netflix said no

[animegenork]

So I want to prove to Crocverse fans that I know what I’m doing and I’m not just sitting on my ass saying “Hahaha I’ll write it.”

So as a tribute to Crocverse Goddess @nothing-more-than-hot-leaf-juice, a tidbit of Crocness that’s been floating around my head all this week.

Too Croc-y for Me

“Uncle, remind me again why you decided to open a Croc store.”

It was suffocating, really, standing in a store with shelves upon shelves of Crocs. Zuko shuddered, feeling for all the world that the Crocs were staring at him. That was what the holes were for, right? To watch people? He wished he could just go home.

Then again, did he have a home anymore?

His uncle Iroh smiled at him over a cup of tea. The steam rose in a way that framed his face, giving his appearance a dreamlike quality. The dark circles underneath Iroh’s eyes were a little less prominent than they had been for the past few years. Gaining custody of his nephew had taken a lot out of him, and for that, Zuko felt a little guilty.

But not guilty enough to accept this Croc store bullshit.

“Nephew, give it a chance. You know life isn’t always a straight path. We must try to bring kindness and good energy wherever we can, and so through this store, we will.” He took a sip of his tea and placed the cup gently on the counter in front of him. Trundling around the counter, he patted Zuko’s shoulder. “You’ll grow to love it here. I’m sure of it.”

Zuko managed a weak smile before Iroh went to straighten up the shelves. He didn’t dare tell his uncle that he didn’t want to be here, in this store with these stupid Crocs. That he was sure he wouldn’t be able to make any friends. That deep down inside, a small, small part of him wished he was back with his father.

He gingerly raised a hand to the puckered skin on the left side of his face. Ever since the incident, he hadn’t been able to look at a fire. He wasn’t sure if he would ever Firebend again.

The bell over the store entrance jingled (since there were no doors but storeowners needed to know when customers came in), and Zuko peered over his shoulder to see a bunch of middle-aged men ranging in size from woefully skinny to delightfully pudgy. They brought with them the smell of muddy water and humid air, and Zuko knew right away these guys were from the nearby swamp. He was going to have to get used to this smell.

Iroh suddenly appeared beside him, his fingers brushing against his elbow - a warning to be polite to these men, no matter how much they irritated him. “Welcome! How may I help you gentlemen?”

Zuko drew in a deep breath (and therefore the smell of the swamp) and pasted on a fake smile.

This new life was already too Croc-y for his taste.

I hope this was good enough for the majesty of the Crocverse! Once life is a little less hectic, I promise I will put more time and energy into bringing this verse to life! :D

ra crocverse

-crowley owns a croc store

-halt despises crocs, viscerally, and sees crowley’s godforsaken store every time he walks down to the coffee shop and would have an easier time hating the owner if he wasn’t obscenely cheerful and very cute

-halt tolerates it until his adopted son gilan takes an internship at the store working the counter

-gilan begs and pleads for him to come at least one time and halt finally gives in and goes there and crowley’s there to greet him and halt keeps going back after. he’s now collecting crocs and feels absolute loathing as he looks at the growing pile of them. but at least crowley’s nice. 

-pauline owns the neighboring coffee shop and is good friends with crowley, but she wouldn’t touch a croc with a ten foot pole

-finally crowley ends up asking halt on a coffee shop date and he wears crocs. halt is equal parts angry and amused

-pauline just shakes her head from behind the counter

-then will starts working there too (partly to help gilan in his matchmaking efforts) and halt starts hanging around more and finally one day crowley gives him a box of rainbow crocs and asks if they can date properly

-halt, now quite amused, says yes

-at the insistance of will and gilan, he shows up in the rainbow crocs

-he still hates crocs though

misc croc headcanons, mostly to anger eliza, which is part of the reason I made this post in the first place: 

-gilan and will wear matching camo crocs for funnies

-gilan dresses like a hippie

-alyss works at the coffee shop, cassandra visits the croc store once to buy spiked punk crocs and starts hanging out with will, eventually she drags horace over too

-crowley wears pink crocs with the charms

-will gets halt a pair of business casual crocs for christmas and halt nearly cries from exasperation 

-duncan and arald are regulars. arald wears hawaiian shirts. this is never once questioned and never changes

-will dresses like a lumberjack’s son. this is also never questioned 

-halt wears plaid. crowley buys him plaid crocs for his birthday. halt does cry out of exasperation that time

I saw you talking about a yoga au, and I love it! But hear me out, croc au AND yoga au. Like, Anng has his yoga studio and Iroh sells his crocs, but Iroh has some advertisements and discounts for Anng’s Studio and Anng sells some of Iroh’s crocs by the front counter. Zuko works at the yoga studio but he also co-owns the Jasmine Dragon with uncle Iroh, he occasionally takes Sokka on dates there. Sorry I hijacked your post, I just want to have my cake and eat it too.

i’m going to need some help with this one, so i’m calling resident crocverse expert @nothing-more-than-hot-leaf-juice

aang finds the crocs super comfy and likes the feeling of the wind on his feet (which is why toph calls him twinkletoes. she probably also does yoga with them after much convincing. she would rather punch and kick, but she’s very connected to the ground and ends up picking it up extremely easily). it also makes it easy for him to take off his shoes when he gets to the studio

aang and iroh become friends due to his love of crocs and bc they’re business partners, aang gets discounts on crocs. he also buys a bunch of those little charms you put on crocs, which i found out are called “Jibbitz” no lie. he puts the four elements on his crocs 

the thing that finally gets sokka to accept aang’s invitation to a yoga class is the discount on crocs aang promises. zuko is the hot yoga instructor that teaches sokka’s class (pun totally intended). he switches instructors after they start dating tho to spare the other students

they stop by the jasmine dragon after classes and hang out there when sokka is working on his poetry.
