[comradekatara]

modern au gaang + first job?

unless you count helping in gran gran’s store, sokka’s first official job is babysitting (aang).

unless you count helping in gran gran’s store and her numerous lemonade stands with aang, katara’s first official job is at the claire’s in the mall.

suki’s first real job is mopping floors and making coffee runs at a dojo, but soon enough she’s teaching her own classes.

zuko’s first job is as a tea server at his uncle’s teashop the jasmine dragon.

toph’s first job is also as a tea server at the jasmine dragon.

azula hates doing busywork and serving other people, but interning at a big tech company will look good on her college applications, so she suffers through it.

aang’s first official job is when suki gives him a percentage of her profits from her band’s album after he helps her promote it (he is very successful in this mission btw bc no one can say no to him), but before that he spent a lot of hours volunteering at the local soup kitchen and animal shelter.

ty lee makes a lot of money off of her large internet fanbase, sponsoring various products, selling her “bathwater,” etc.

mai doesn’t actually need a job because her parents just send her money, but she’s really into coding and ultimately ends up developing her own video game that gets really popular, which is a good thing too because she can no longer depend on her parents after her dad got prosecuted for his multiple corruption scandals. well.... she can’t say she’s surprised.

#modern au #the gaang and #asks #kidprophet #tried to put this in chronological order somewhat #sokka has been babysitting aang since he was also a kid #and gyatso pays him like. a decent amount #but then sokka hits the jackpots tutoring the beifongs’ daughter #bc theyre wealthy af so they’re just like ‘is $50/hr enough?’ #and toph is so easy to tutor too bc she’s smart as hell #all he has to do is read aloud to her #by the time he is 15 he is basically running a full tutoring business with yue’s help #but katara’s still like ‘sokka you are so lazy. meanwhile I have been SLAVING AWAY at this LEMONADE STAND—‘
