do you have any hcs about aang?? he’s my fav💓

i sure do anon! aang is one of my favourites, the love and devotion he has for his friends along with the struggles he faces to sustain his culture and morals makes it impossible not to love him!!!

- he’s a morning person; definitely the one who wakes up first within the group (practically rises with the sun)

- aangs hugs are very different from the other members of the gaang. his hug feels comforting because aang loves wholeheartedly and freely and his hugs are given with the same kind of warmth and understanding. they offer you the feeling of being accepted without any sort of judgement.

- old people ADORE him. grannies love him and compliment his manners and they will spoil him with homemade meals and sweets anytime they see him.

- he’s really good at whistling (something sokka is jealous of)

- he’s very emotionally intelligent and mature, so it’s only natural that he’s everyone's go-to person for advice. he’s also the frequent victim of toph and sokka’s schemes, since the two of them love dragging him into whatever trouble they're planning. they usually use his kind hearted nature against him to make him comply, though he ends up having fun most of the time.

- he loves any excuse to brag about katara, so much so that her name gets mentioned more often than the fact that he's the avatar. “Katara would know about this you should ask her, she's really good at explaining things.” “if you're struggling with that move, master katara would be the one to help. she taught me, and she's the most skilled waterbender of all time.” his love for her is so loud and unapologetic, he’ll bring her up every chance he gets.

- he sees the soft breeze and shifting wind as the monks’ presence around him, like a silent reassurance that he’s not alone and it always brings him comfort.

- he likes to carry a little piece of his friends everywhere he goes; water tribe beads braided by katara he wears around his wrist for good luck, a metal arm bracelet toph forged herself that she intentionally made look “girly” just to mess with him (he ended up loving it), a custom case for his glider sokka engineered himself, a silk sash from the fire nation royal palace that aang wraps around said case.

Kitsune Kazuha in his heat and he just,, pounces on you,, begging you to let him take you and once you consent he ain't playing nice no he degrading you, he fucking your on every surface, just djdhdhehe and if you squirm too much from overstimulation he'll secure you will his tail(s) (bc kitsune can have up to 9 tails but omg that's so comfy though so fluffy)

“why are you trying to run away from me now ? don’t you like this , hm ? or is my cock too good for my slut that they can’t take it anymore ?” he growls out and bites your neck , leaving more marks on your skin . god , you’re stuffed so full now .. you don’t think so you could take it anymore — but kazuha wasn’t done , no .. he’ll make sure to breed you full , to have you take up all of his seed in you . you’re his cumslut anyways , so you have to take him all in no matter what . you’re overstimulated ? well he can easily use his tail to restrain you from trying to get off from him . be a good pet now and take him all in you <33

what’s your favorite tokka headcanon?

Hi anon!

the one i think about the most lately has to do with sokka and toph having difficulty at showing vulnerability to each other, their past being fundamentally different would make it challenging for them to be open with the other. they’re ultimately this trope,

older brother who’s used to taking care of others to the point where the weight of responsibility gives him a sense of purpose x only child who’s built herself around being completely self-reliant and isn’t used to others taking care of her

sokka had to toughen up and mature to prove he was capable of protecting his people ≠ toph had to pretend to be helpless and fragile because no one ever believed in her. sokka felt the need to mask his fear of failure with overconfidence in order to appear stoic ≠toph put on a facade of hyper independence and self distancing so she would never appear weak or in need of help. both feeling the need to constantly prove themselves, sokka to be seen as capable and toph to be seen as strong. because of that, sokka’s instinct to care would clash with toph’s self sufficient nature since sokka doesn’t really know how not to take care of people and toph doesn’t know how to let herself be taken care of without feeling like she’s being weakened or controlled. it would be something they’d both have to overcome in order to let each other in and openly be vulnerable. sokka needs to learn that he shouldn’t have to carry everything alone and toph has to know that letting someone in doesn’t make her any less strong.

Zuko, 8 / ask game👀

What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

hey anon! probably how people tend to treat zuko as either completely irredeemable or like he’s this helpless woobified victim, when the whole point of his character is that he exists somewhere in the middle. a lot of fan interpretations flatten him into whatever version best fits a specific ship or scenario, so he ends up feeling like a completely different person depending on who’s writing him.

which honestly isn’t inherently bad! fictional characters are meant to be interpreted and reimagined and i don’t really care about something being “ooc” if the characterization makes sense within the context of the story being told. but with zuko specifically, i feel like people sometimes lose the nuance of what makes him compelling in the first place.

what i love about zuko is that his arc is complex. he’s angry, desperate, cruel at times, compassionate at others, constantly learning and unlearning. his growth doesn’t erase the harm he caused but it also doesn’t mean he’s doomed to be defined by his worst moments forever. watching him slowly adapt and change throughout the show is what makes his character so meaningful to me and that’s the version of him i enjoy most.

CHARACTER ASK GAME!!! 💫

Hi friend <3 what scenarios would you like to see Toph and Sokka in? Is there anything you want to see them or think they’d get up to? Any scheming or fun adventures? :)

Hey Twinkles💙 i love this question because there’d be so many instances and space for adventures! i like to think that even before they ever become romantic, both of them already function as each other’s safest place, gradually beginning to orbit one another without realizing it at first. and as they came closer the familiarity and reliability that came along with it made them practically inseparable!

i present to you yet another completely self indulgent scenario;

I really like the idea of sokka being the person who finally convinces toph to confront her parents. toph would mention it periodically, perhaps dismissively, perhaps with irritation but always with the underlying intention of postponement. for all her fearlessness, the prospect of facing the people who defined her through limitation and fragility would horrify her which is why it’s something she instinctively avoids.

during a late night conversation (which a common occurrence for the both of them) toph admits she knows she can’t avoid them forever. sokka calls her out on it with the kind of honesty only he can get away with and tells her that it is not an obligation but rather something she deserves; the opportunity to speak for herself without shame or mediation. and even if it didn’t escalate well, he promised she wouldn’t have to face it alone. and if anything was true about sokka it was that he always kept his promises. toph initially rejects the offer. her insistence that she does not need him there is entirely consistent with the identity she has constructed around self-sufficiency. yet beneath that resistance is relief perhaps even gratitude that someone remains present without requiring her to ask. sokka’s care manifests through constancy and despite all her defensiveness, she is someone who values that deeply.

I am also drawn to the idea of sokka and toph visiting the southern water tribe regularly. toph initially disliking it feels inevitable; the climate, the unfamiliarity, the perceived inconvenience of everything. but what changes this experience for her is not the place itself so much as sokka’s relationship to it. his desire to share his culture with her would reveal a side of him that she’s only heard of but would see for the first time; his attachment to his village, the traditions, their deep-rooted love for community. there’s no rigid expectations, just care expressed freely and constantly, much like him. she couldn’t imagine that a block of ice could be filled with so much warmth and i think witnessing that firsthand would affect toph more than she expects. ultimately toph shows her care by being there, by the simple act of remembering an the very act of knowing. she understands that his tribe is a core part of him, the tenderness beneath his humor, the way he expresses love through guidance and inclusion, his protective and caring nature. the trip(s) become meaningful to her because she allows herself to engage and connect with something unfamiliar rather than dismiss it outright. and also, i imagine they have a blast during their time there (much like the festival scene in north and south🤭)

their adventures would consist a lot of small yet significant moments. toph trying unfamiliar foods because sokka insists she has to experience them properly. toph helping sokka craft his brand new project with her metal-bending because he’s overworking himself (her excuse being that she has nothing better to do). or just being there in each others presence is enough to bring them comfort.

do you ship other pairs in atla or just tokka?

i kind of feel like i should be under 24-hour close protection to answer this ask LMAO

this is just my opinion, if you disagree feel free to scroll past! (genuine)

i like kataang! i’ve never obsessed over them but i like how they work as a pair plus i love how katara was reminded that she’s still a kid through her relationship with aang and how he gave her a chance to see the world

contrary to popular belief i don’t think maiko is as bad as people present it to be (at least on tt)! i really like how their characters come together and have their own version of “sweet” moments lol. the non chalant x non chalant vibe they’ve got going on is both funny and cute.

that would be about it? i don’t feel strongly about any other ship in particular. i value friendships the most in the show since it’s one of the main focuses of the show. i love the platonic relationships and familial dynamics between the gaang and the rest of the characters and I’m much more interested in that than anything else imho. tokka is the only ship i’ve been laser-focused on from the beginning, yet their friendship is what intrigued me and made me like them as a duo despite the romantic connotations that came along with it later on.

Friend! Toph + 5,6 for the character ask please!!

What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

hey twinkles! one song that really reminds me of toph is motion sickness by Phoebe Bridgers. i think it perfectly captures toph’s need to escape her old life, while also reflecting the guilt and loneliness that come with leaving her parents behind and losing that connection with the people who seemingly gave her everything, except the thing she desired most.

What's something you have in common with this character?

i think one thing we have in common is a strong preference for self sufficiency and competence! i’m not really a fan of asking for help, even though i know it’s sometimes unavoidable. being sick is honestly the worst thing for me and i tend to not want to see anyone when I am. i really dislike being seen when i’m at my most vulnerable and in need of care.

hiiiii i love seeing your takes and posts about tokka😩I love themmmm

how/when did you get into atla?

thank you for your kind words anon💙i’m glad to know that me losing my mind over tokka brings joy to someone!

to answer your question, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when I started watching it since i’ve been interested in it since i was a child, i rewatched regularly throughout the years and still do! it has a grip on me like no other series ever has.

in regards of why i decided to make a blog now, i was saddened by the lack of tokka art and fan fics out there (or talk about them in general) because i had convinced myself that tokka would make a return once the new movie came out (which sadly it didn’t, not in the degree i was hoping for, at least.) so i decided to take it upon myself and yap about them for as long as i can (and maybe, possibly convert more people into shipping them as well!)
