Hi pook šŸ˜¢ ( sorry if u donā€™t like the nickname) but Iā€™ve been reading your series and I am reading Into the Fire (chapter 8) and Iā€™m just wondering why you made Sokka give in so easily when people tell him to control himself thatā€™s not Zuko. Because I would imagine that he would be more stubborn and more focused on what he wants instead of being caring. Even though heā€™s a caring and kind person I feel like being in prison would make him more selfish and less understanding of other people if than makes sense šŸ˜­
Like it just aggravates me when I see Katara try to idk really baby him and control him a bit (not mentally) it just kind of annoys me. Because even though Sokka loves his Sister I feel like he shouldnā€™t listen to her for real.
But thatā€™s just me because thatā€™s my opinion coming from someone behind has anger issues/ gets angry easily šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
I love love love this series btw!!!!

I added your other ask too so I could respond to both! Hiiii hellooooo I donā€™t mind nicknames itā€™s actually nice because then I can keep anons apart haha
as for your comment about sokka I gotta say youā€™re probably the first person to tell me sokka isnā€™t angry enough haha. Which is fine because everyoneā€™s allowed to have their own opinions, but my thoughts on LIAB angry sokka is his intelligence is often battling his emotions. I think sokka is smart enough to know he isnā€™t supposed to be lashing out at people the way he is or clinging to Zuko so tightly to where they both canā€™t breathe. i also think he is desperate to be back to his ā€œold selfā€ without actually wanting to be his old self. I do think he is fighting his path to healing every step of the way but even with all the time spent in prison he is still SOKKA. He cares for people he loves his family and he knows from watching his parents growing up what a healthy relationship looks like - his codependency to zuko is probably not it. I doubt it will change much, but when people tell him ā€˜you need to chillā€™ Sokka is very much like I FUCKING KNOW BUT I HAVE NO CHILL!!! NONE! ZERO CHILL.
but I canā€™t imagine sokka wanting to hurt anyone who doesnā€™t deserve it. Or fighting his friends and family to isolate himself anymore than he already is. I have learned that writing a more emotionally triggering fic does stir up emotions in people and causes them to project onto the characters a bit which is fine but everyone processing trauma differently. & sokka is doing it his own way just like zuko is.
Alsoā€¦. This is a fanfic and I donā€™t know if people wanna read sokka being a raging asshole for 50kā€¦ so some of the realism in healing gets lost to word count because unfortunately I canā€™t spend years and 1000k helping these boys overcome their trauma so some of it has to be rushed a little for word count / plot purposes haha.
Liiiiiiisten here pooki-anon you come yell at me anytime about liab Iā€™ll be right here to soak up every word! Thanks for the ask Iā€™m glad youā€™re enjoying the series!!
