#Mai x Sokka

[lphoenixspiritl]

since you seem to be a multishipper…what are your feelings on sokka and mai as…more than friends? 👀

Ngl I started thinking about it while making the tags. They'd be very a black cat/golden retriever couple. Here are some new head canons.

Sokka often walks into a room ranting about a problem he has, Mai listens in silence picking at her knives as he keeps talking. This goes on for few rounds of Sokka pacing and talking to himself until he manages to answer his own question at which point he blurts out 'Honey you're a genius!' and lays a kiss on Mai before running out the door to his workshop.

Mai waits for the inevitable crash as he once again misses that one uneven step he never remembers to fix and smiles to herself as she gets up to grab some bandages.

Sokka asked out Mai by making her a perfectly balanced stiletto. On their first anniversary he completed the set by making her four more.

Mai's betrothal necklace can be used as weapon in a pinch.

When Mai found out about Sokka's space sword she put her family's connections to work and arranged for him to forge another on Pianodo's estate.

Mai, in a fit of panic, voluntarily joined Prince Zuko in his exile, before Iroh could consider making the same offer himself. Three years later, she regrets this decision.

“So…” he said, suddenly, stretching for casual and not quite reaching it, “what’s your guys deal? No offence but I wouldn’t have guessed you guys were Fire Nation based on your, you know.” He gestured all-encompassingly, but was kind enough not to point out specifics.

Mai shrugged. “His dad told him to go find the Avatar.”

Sokka blinked. “Okay? Why you two specifically, though? I mean your whole army is-”

“His dad told him to go find the Avatar three years ago.”

Sokka said nothing, but his expression was loud enough. After a long, complicated moment, he shook his head in something like amazement.

“And he found him? I mean, we got there first, but still.”

Ty Lee: So...Sokka’s your plus one?

Mai: No! He is just my ride. Just my ride.

Sokka: Of course [ Whispers to Ty Lee ] I am her plus one.

NOBODY BOTHER ME the writers of the Boiling Rock episodes said that Sokka and Zuko fight like an old married couple

[zukkaart]

Mai: Zuko asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend because his father is homophobic but he ended up hating me so much that he was relieved when he found out Zuko was actually gay

Ty Lee: task failed successfully

Sokka: congrats on being so awful a girlfriend that you destroyed homophobia

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."

[justaz]

realistic zukka: zuko is swamped with being firelord and righting everything wrong w the fire nation that he has No Time for visitors or personal letters, sokka is busy as chief of the swt and building all his little inventions to speed the rebuilding efforts along. zukka doesn’t speak for weeks bc they simply don’t have the time or mental space to think about that.

that is, until zuko wakes up in the middle of the night to a face over his, grinning like a madman. zuko’s instinct is to fight bc there has been five assassins this week and it’s only monday. sokka is screeching like a banshee bc if zuko breaks his invention-

the guards burst in and light up the room to find chief sokka of the swt desperately scratching at the ground to get away from a half awake firelord zuko who is currently beating him with the first thing he could get his hands on: sokka’s invention.

they don’t speak for weeks bc sokka is Upset

Here, dear @bryverros just make me think too much about this lmao

So... Is Zuko Disney Princess coded? Let's see.

He's canonically part of a royal family, so the title is there, no marriage needed.

He has superpowers (firebending) and a particular ability his really good at (swordfighting), you know like Elsa with ice and Mérida with archery.

Another thing he has in common with Mérida is the fact he doesn't agree with his father about stuff and he doesn't know how to shut up about it (:

He got the evil parent AND the evil sister (at least Cinderella was adopted)

He talks to animals (yk the frog thing), animals trust him too (Appa), and he got a magical pet (Ruk).

He had an incredible glow up.

Let's say that Iroh is his fairy godmother, gives him good advice, helps him prepare for his dates and always reminds him that he is a prince even at his lowest.

He is fighting for his honor (I mean, if you told the guy he would get back his honor going to the matchmaker, he would've been first in line, doing way better than Mulan with the tea thing)

He would cry looking at his reflection while this verse sounds in the background "If I wear a mask, I can fool the world, but I cannot fool my heart".

Being Lee for a month show him that he was meant to fulfil his role as a part of the royal family (customer service/domestic work does that to people)

He got a love interest that fell for him with zero knowledge about who he was: his title or his past or real identity, so if you want to eat up the classic Disney princess romance. There you go.

He goes through the tantrums, emotional rollercoasters and "the world hates me" moments like a pro.

The change of heart moment happens to him as it happens to most disney princess, and it defines his destiny. So point checked.

He went into a life changing adventure with the first cute and friendly guy that stood in front of him (I'm not even explaining more about this).

He gets the throne at the end of the show (in this point we only got Elsa, and I'm sure Zuko also considered moving to the forest after being Fire Lord for a year, but his sister wasn't as reliable as Anna).

His canon love interest is a childhood love that ended up saving his life and that's so princess coded that there's no need to give an example, it just makes sense.

I think there are things I'm not addressing, but for now this is enough to conclude that... yeah, he is sooo princess coded.
