I’ll admit it, I’m incredibly biased when it comes to my favorite ship. I love Sokkla, okay? I know it may seem cheesy to say, I know it may seem redundant, like its a broken record for me. And I know its crazy, because its a crack ship and all that. Perhaps some of you are rolling your eyes at me. Perhaps I should apologize for how much I like it, because its so boringly obvious or predictable of me.
But people, I’m letting you know right now, right fucking now, I love it that much. Criticize me all you want, but I know what I’m about. I am literally so happy and ecstatic that I get to talk about this ship to so many people now, its insane. You guys are the best, believe it, I’m shit, you all are the best.
Yeah, sure, I like other ships, I may ship Sokka other people in ATLA, I may ship other people with Azula in ATLA too, some of which are very controversial. I’m just letting you know right now, as corny or as bloody boring as it sounds, Sokkla is MILES on top. Of everything. Its my muse.
Perhaps I should explain why I like it. I don’t think I need to go in depth though, anyone who ships it... their reasons are their own honestly. Every single person I have talk to so far about this ship who has expressed an interest in it has their own reasons. And you know what? I applaud you all for it! Some can express it in an essay, some can express it with a simple phrase. Hats off to you all for that honestly! Some want it for the smut, some for the fluff, some for the romance, some for the wit, the tragedy, the angst of it all!
All I’m saying is that, for how ever long you ship it, whether it be for a fleeting moment of for a however long your life goes on (because we have had an actual person die writing before they could finish writing stories for this ship), all I’m saying is this... own it. Fucking own it! Please don’t be scared to! And I know we may all have different opinions on how we should ship it, whats the proper way to ship it, but people! We’re all in the same boat here! Reconcile, understand, accept, no two sets of eyes see things alike, even if they are moved by the same thing they see in front of them! This is what being a normal human is like, with different interests and likes!! Sure some may ship it less than you or perhaps some may not be as vocal about it as you, but we all express love for something differently!!
I’ll give you an example - I fucking love Sokkla smut! Don’t believe me, see my archive! Am I degenerate for it? Maybe! Probaly But I love it! Why? The intimacy, man! To allow someone to touch you, hold you, kiss you, and fuck you... sometimes you gotta build up trust for that and sometimes you can just go for it in a snap! That’s beautiful man. All of it, its actually fucking amazing! The courage, the drive, the audacity, the recklessness, the “I don’t give a fuck, just fuck me” attitude! its gratuitous and messy, buts real because try so hard to physically express how you want the other! That is Sokkla man!
Does that mean I dislike fluff? The soft side of the long torturous struggle of shipping? Where words and hugs and healing prevail? Fuck no, I love that shit! Even if I don’t express it that much! Or even reluctantly for that matter! Sometimes you just gotta have that! When you fuck, for some you just feel like a piece of raw cum covered meat, and who would want to eat you then, right? An encouraging word, a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a simple kiss on the forehead , a friendly gesture out of the goodness of ones heart, sometimes that can be as powerful and invigorating and, dare I say, a TURN ON, as a girl flashing her tits or a guy whipping out his wang, how ever you like to roll. That is Sokkla man!
So what am I saying? At this point I don’t even fucking know! I’m just trying to say that, to anyone who likes this ship, whether you go all out for it, whether you’re a multi-shipper, or just have a casual interest in it - please, enjoy it! Enjoy it to your fullest! Life is short and harrowing to go through, enjoy this shit while you can. I’m just saying that I’m in the same boat with you and I want to enjoy it with you as much as I can! So if you’re new here to the Sokkla community - hello! I am a fan too, please forgive my weirdness! I am in this corner for as long as there is a corner! I know I am not the best fan for this community and I know I will have a different viewpoint on the ship than others, but who is perfect honestly? We’re not the same. Ideas for shit spring from different brains. I may think its odd, but god damn me I’m going to stop you from doing it. What am I, the Thought Police? What kind of Orwellian shit is that? Ain’t no one owns this ship either and I sure hope there are no gatekeepers, this ship is free public domain after all. Just an idea that’s taking its time to grow for all to enjoy for all I care! I’m just so glad right now I could fucking cry buckets of water large enough to fill the Colorado River.
