Pls tell me random things about the modern au

sure!

please keep in mind this is not chronologically-ordered because i am far too pomo for (scoff) linear narratives

(* = chell’s contributions)

suki drives a truck, and said truck is a legend

azula goes to harvard, despite her objectively terrible character (ohhhh shots fired!!!!)

zuko doesn’t try very hard in school, because he knows that if he were to actually try, he would feel worse about azula being better than him (he’s not living under ozai’s roof––anymore––so it doesn’t matter) but it’s way too easy to trick her into taking naclo, which is where he shines. it drives her crazy that he won’t tell her his score. “you just wont tell me because you know i did better than you” “….maybe :)” “UGH ZUKO JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU GOT!!!!!!!!”

the day before aang’s first day of high school, sokka gently tries to inform him that he is too old to be wearing heelies

toph isn’t allowed on any sports teams due to her blindness, so she fights the administration every single day, and (physically) fights random people just for fun, and they so desperately want to punish her for it but she is a genius wunderkind pride & joy of their institution and they know that unless she gets really out of line, their hands are tied. but they still refuse to let her play sports

“suki’s nervous because today’s the day of the Big Game,” sokka tells zuko. zuko can swear he said the same thing yesterday. and the day before that. and the day before that. it is always the day of the Big Game. when zuko asks katara about it she rolls her eyes and says, “don’t be stupid, the Big Game only happens once a year.” and so, the concept of sports continues to wear on his sanity

azula’s all, “i swear to god, if sokka is valedictorian i will burn EVERYTHING to the GROUND” and zukos like “why do you even care youre not even in his class” (but it’s the PRINCIPLE of it, zuzu!!!!!!!)

aang has a really big dog named appa, and a flying lemur named momo. no one questions this

it is very apparent to everyone except for mai and zuko that mai and zuko are not happy together. mais not “in love” with “ty lee” what an idiotic thing to even suggest

toph’s favorite joke is stumbling into nothing and then yelling “OW! watch where you’re going!” to which zuko sighs and says, “toph theres no one there” and tophs like “no i can swore i bumped into something” and zukos like “no. u didnt. u know u d––” “mustve been your closet, then. EYOOOOO”

sokka refuses to admit to himself that the reason he “doesnt do” relationships is to keep himself from getting hurt (see: yue). katara not so gently reminds him that if he truly “didnt do” relationships, then why does suki practically live in her house.

katara thinks clubs are stupid and school spirit is lame but then she finds out that their school doesn’t have a straight gay alliance so she starts one. no one joins except for toph, who just sits there in the corner and eats peanuts with a wide smile, staring straight ahead.

in his senior year, aang finally gets to be the mascot the night of the Big Game. everyone comes back just to support him. zuko has not set foot in his hometown in at least three years, but he’ll be damned if he doesn’t support aang’s dreams. (plus he’s pretty sure katara would kill him if he didn’t.) once the Big Game starts (the first and only Big Game zuko ever attends), sokka notices zuko staring really intently at the field, and that he has been for about a half hour now. he’s like “whats….goin on??” and zuko mutters, “i’m trying to figure out what sport theyre playing.” sokkas just like “oh my god”

suki and sokka miss their prom because they got too invested in their game of monopoly. toph humbly accepts their crowns in their place. the teachers are just like “wait who even let her in here isnt she a freshman”

katara plays hockey. azula does track and kickboxing. they are both fierce, violent, and terrifying. both katara and azula tried to join suki’s roller derby team, but suki wisely rejected them both because they were, in her estimation, “not a good culture fit.” she told them the team was already full.*

zuko, suki and toph are in a band. their music is very lyrical and also very screamy (only suki and toph get to sing, natch). believe it or not, aang is their biggest fan. aang plays the triangle and the flute and the harp, which you might think would not exactly fit with their style, but they do invite him onstage for gigs sometimes and somehow the combination is excellent.*

katara is a mediocre student. zuko is great in his literature classes and his art classes and kind of tragic at everything else. nevertheless, they try to study together. mostly katara just comes over to zuko’s house and scuffs up his coffee tables and eats a lot of food out of the fridge. zuko considers this direct action against his terrible father, and he loves it*

azula is obsessed with sneakers. yeah that’s it that’s a whole bullet point*

suki’s truck is disgusting and made up of a seemingly boundless mess, but there are three recurring themes that are most apparent when you enter: weed, construction equipment for some weird building project she never tells anyone the details of, and other girls’ underwear*

katara thinks sokka is a narc for having gotten jet suspended. “he called in a BOMB THREAT, KATARA”

sokka is the head of the science club. because he loves science. toph and suki are also in the science club. because they love watching (and listening to) things explode.

everyone agrees that debate should be renamed “sokka and azula fight for 90 minutes.” azula spends a week drafting up a foolproof argument, manipulating the whole class into picking said topic, and then pretending its unrehearsed, and sokka spends no time in saying “nope. thats wrong.” on days where he chairs the debates, azula always wins because he’s forced to remain impartial, and no one else can out-debate her. it is on those days that he goes home and proceeds to rant about how everything azula said was wrong and why.

katara and azula also fight, of course, but never in a structured setting. sometimes it ends in bloodshed. toph enjoys egging them on way too much.

sokka is constantly misplacing his possessions. that is, when neither zuko nor suki are around to personally keep track of all his belongings. he loses his phone about twice a day. he’s checking the chem lab to see if he left his phone in there, but azula is already there, presumably to work on a lab. she offers to call his phone for him, and he types his number into her phone because she is too embarrassed to admit she already has his number (and a tracking device in place but thats not important). unfortunately, azula is the one to locate his phone, so she sees that her contact name is, “ZUKO’S SISTER??!??!!!!???!???!!??!!!!?” she has never been more offended in her entire life.

katara is always threatening to beat up anyone who so much as looks at aang funny. no one would hurt aang, though. everyone loves aang.

sokka loves art class. he also hates art class. he likes that he has a structured time and space in which to paint, and he loves painting. he hates that his paintings always turn out looking like wet garbage, especially compared to those of the guy who sits near him, who clearly is not even trying. he is the rich to sokka’s jeff. at least in sokka’s mind. sokka will oft complain about “that asshole who thinks he’s too good for art class,” but suki pays him no mind and rolls her eyes. until one day, when sokka and suki are being particularly annoying and making out in the middle of the hallway, which is particularly upsetting for zuko because a) that is Hot Guy From His Art Class and b) he will either have to wait for them to finish or politely ask them to move, as they are right in front of his locker. he says, “do you mind moving?” and he means this as politely as possible, but sokka is like “wow what a haughty bitch” so he just holds his index finger up as if to say “one second” and that is that is such an asshole move that zuko has no choice but to yell “what the fuck?!?” far too loudly. it leads to a kerfuffle that eventually lands them both in detention (suki was an innocent party and sokka is more than willing to take the fall for her.) their detention becomes a breakfast club meets war balloon, and sokka actually sort of tells someone about yue. that’s weird. why’d he do that? neither of them know. zuko has no idea what to say. well, this is awkward. another half hour passes. sokka idly mentions that they could totally find a way out of this room by crawling through the vents and then climbing the beams in the gym and after that it’s only a matter of finding an open window––and not getting caught. this is a joke, a completely hypothetical joke, of course. zuko’s like, “let’s do it.” sokka’s like “oh shit this bitch is crazy,” but, y’know, they pull it off. they run out of the school and keep running and only stop when sokka has the dawning realization that if any of this goes on his permanent record that definitely lessens his chances of getting scholarships. but zuko assures him that mr. bumi doesn’t actually give a fuck, and then offhandedly mentions that he sort of gives him the creeps, and sokka wholeheartedly agrees. this prompts more and more conversation, as they just kind of wander about various streets. once they finally realize that it’s gotten completely dark around them, it occurs to them that they may as well have stayed in detention.

people won’t shut up about the shit that went down at post-prom. “did you see when that one guy…??” “yeah dude that was wild.” suki just smiles knowingly, and so her friends are all “oh did u hook up with ty lee again?” and she’s like “even better. i won monopoly.”

katara hates zuko for incredibly petty reasons. like, “he took the last popsicle out of her fridge” petty. then, she very obtrusively finds out that hes gay and is immediately like Oh We Are Friends Now. zuko’s life has suddenly become so much more convenient now that katara is no longer being mean to him that it actually takes him a while to realize that katara is being actively nice to him.

they talk about waves in physics, and it shakes toph to her core. later that day, she asks sokka to explain what colors are to her. he does not do a good job. starts talking about plato’s allegory of the cave, and the double slit experiment??? what??? zuko explaining that “colors are a feeling” is only marginally more helpful. so toph ultimately enlists suki’s help in explaining to her which colors are lame and which colors are dykey. suki immediately says “flannel.”

so yes aang may have technically stolen momo from the zoo but its not his fault because momo followed him home and refused to leave his side!!!!

once mai grows out of her “everyone is an idiot and i hate the world” phase, sokka realizes that she’s actually really cool. they hang out constantly. they have a weekly board game night, and they take turns hosting, which is hilarious because mai lives in a mansion and has an actual butler. their secret handshake is needlessly complicated. zuko tries to pretend it isn’t weird. but…. it’s weird right?? and like, it’s weird that no one else thinks it’s weird???? ……..why does no one else think it’s weird?????

azula is, of course, valedictorian, and her speech is about as bone-chilling as you’d expect. her jokes are too cruel to land. she namedrops harvard about ten times. she manages to squeeze in an offhanded dig at sokka, which makes katara nearly fight her onstage. at the afterparty, azula overhears a conversation wherein one meathead jock whose name she never learned says to another meathead jock whose name she never learned, “oh, but remember that speech from last year??? it was so funny.” this prompts her to have a little too much to drink, which only sokka notices (he showed up for katara and then he was dragged to the party by his friends), so he ends up driving her home. as a graduation gift to her, he says, he changes her contact name in his phone to “Azula.”

sokka has en english teacher who really has it out for him. katara tells him she had him before and wishes she could punch him in the face, and that it’s not his fault that he’s doing poorly in that class. still, sokka begs zuko to tutor him in english. zuko’s just like “you’re perfectly fine at english pakku just sucks” but he agrees to tutor him anyway. sokka’s grades do not improve in the slightest, but he does not care.

the week in which SAT results are expected to arrive, azula is weirdly vigilant about the mail. she makes sure to check the scores and then put it back in the envelope before anyone sees that it was opened. she very casually asks zuko “so what did you get?” and zuko just kinda shrugs impassively and walks away. azula smiles to herself.

katara comes home one night to find mai and sokka watching a movie on her couch. (the movie is phantom thread and there are tears of laughter streaming down both their faces by the time it’s over.) she’s like “oh hey guys i saw both your girlfriends making out with each other at a party twenty minutes ago,” and sokkas like “for the last time, katara, suki’s not my girlfriend!!” and mai just angrily shushes her because she’s talking over the johnny greenwood score!!!!! smh.

toph never stops yelling at the administration for their ableism. and you’d best believe her valedictory speech blows everyone else’s out of the water.

#woah this got long #this is what happens when u cant move from bed and u also refuse to do real work i guess #modern au #ur welcome for this novel #asks #sinxaschwarz

As numerous miles as is practicable: what are 24 -hour races like?

From the Glastonbury of flowing to hardcore concrete curves, 24 -hour events stimulate astonishing camaraderie and take you beyond your previous limits

On a weekend in June, about 3,000 smugglers took part in a 24 -hour running affair announced Endure2 4 near Reading. Just over a week ago, a same quantity ran in the Thunder Run 24 -hour event in Catton Park, Derbyshire. Thats about the same number of runners that an metropolitan half-marathon will pull in. The majority of those 3,000 smugglers took proportion of the membership of communicate crews, and not as solo athletes, but these events are nevertheless reaping more and more people every year.

So what is a 24 -hour race? Quite plainly, its a hasten whatever it is you or your crew cover as numerous miles as possible within a 24 -hour time limit. The mass participate occurrences like Endure2 4 and the Thunder Run are normally run around a neat, scenic circular road of five or six miles on route, but at the most serious/ hardcore intent of the spectrum, the course can be a mile or kilometre curve or even a 400 m way. So whats the appeal of ranging round in circles for 24 hours?

When run as a crew, its virtually a camping weekend with your friends with a bit of loping thrown in. The camaraderie at these events is pretty special as you all work together to achieve a collective mind-boggling interval( the victory entrants in the teams of six to eight people category treated 210 miles at Endure2 4 and the three men team of three to five an stunning 220 miles ). You all rely on each other, help one another and do your bit, whether thats 10 miles or 50 miles.

Its virtually a camping weekend with your friends with a little bit of flowing thrown in.

I spoke to some runners who took part in squads at Endure2 4 and a common thread of their experience was that they reached situations they never fantasized possible. Mike Shepherd said: I run for fitness and friendship, and enjoy my weekly parkruns, having only got into running in my early fifties. I “ve never” entertained flowing a marathon, but I was persuaded to try a couple of laps of Endure2 4 as part of a crew of six. I astounded myself at what I could actually achieve at this well-organised, friendly and fun affair, eventually accomplishing five laps.

Alison Gordon said: Running as a team manufactures these events accessible to any athlete. I have never moved more than a half-marathon at once but by running individual laps and then having a terminate I was able to run 20 miles in 24 hours. This is something I would never ordinarily believe doing, so there is a huge feel of accomplishment at the end.

Endure2 4 calls itself the Glastonbury of moving and its easy to see why. Gaze around the site and you will mention a sea of tents and groups of friends hanging out, and you will hear music and much whooping and hollering. Once runners get about 12 hours in, you will too witness hollow-eyed shells of people stumbling around in a coma, and there is a definite morning after feel around clique once the sunshine comes up on day two. But day two is also where it genuinely gets tough, with units up against the cable to get one more lap in, before meeting that final athlete to all run across the line together. Lisa Martin says: That relentless commitment to a point and unwavering subscribe throughout the 24 hours resulted in an incredible joint effort to ensure our fasten soul could squeeze in a final lap with literally two minutes to save! Bridging the line together, and being able to celebrate a shared success that we all seem proud of, is a remembrance that will remain eternally with me.

And so, after 24 hours of flowing, with little or no sleep, with blisters, irking and an overwhelming desire to simply lie down, most smugglers will experience they have just known something very special. Numerous will have achieved distances they never anticipated possible. Their sense of where their restraints lie will then be objection and it might propel them on to try something else way out of their consolation zone. This year at Endure, one gentleman in his 80 s guided 40 miles and another 35.

Endure2 4 at night.

Solo athletes are deemed with amaze and respect at these events. You ascertain the same smugglers pass time and again, each time degenerating a little more. You think that this will probably be their last lap, theres no way they can go on, but they are only keep going. These 24 -hour races are a phenomenal mode to run ultra distance but in a inhibited context youre never more than five miles from dry invests, meat and your sleeping bag. Persona of current challenges is going past that tent every lap and not giving in.

Having done a few Thunder Runs, my first suffer of the sharper outcome of 24 -hour running was the Basel 24 -hour race, which is run around a 1km, chiefly concrete curve. The first lesson I learned was that you never, ever sit down. I had been used to doing a few laps then sitting down to eat and faffing with gear, but apparently this was a big no-no. To my fright, this was pointed out to me by John Pares, the famous British ultra-runner who won gold in the 2013 Commonwealth 24 -hour race, who had come down to support. At the serious demise of these events, eating and drinking is done on the move and changing shoes, and even “re going to the” lavatory, is done with the minimum time taken off the course.

Other gratuities I have picked up from doing 24 -hour events include TAGEND Just keep moving forward. If you go through a bumpy spot and are reduced to a go, or if you exactly cant flow any more, you will be surprised by how much distance you can eat up over era if you precisely keep walking. Keep eating. You need to take on calories even when you dont feel like you can belly it. I make up a bottle of soup before the race starts and I frequently find I can get a beaker of that down when solid food doesnt plea. Take plenty of spare shoes and socks. You cant overestimate the elevate you get from fresh socks when things are getting tough.
