#and zuko will be like “the only mf in this city who can handle me. also same”

[sokkagatekeeper]

sokka “i disposed of the memory of my mother and therefore my own face and identity in order to devote myself to being a faceless soldier and a warrior and a protector and a man and basing my identity solely on those traits and now that i am unable to turn off my emotions and weaknesses given that i am a human being i hate myself a lot” of the water tribe and prince zuko “my core traits of gentleness and compassion were targetted as flawed and pathetic since i was very young and a new, more masculine, more aggressive identity was thrown upon me so i ended up hating myself for both identities and now all i know is i would really like to be an entirely different person from the get-go” of the fire nation kiss on the daily and are in love. how does that feel

#sokka #zuko #zukka #i think sokka will be like “who even AM i beyond what it was expected of me as a man” #and zuko will be like “the only mf in this city who can handle me. also same” #and then they kiss #n #analysis #grief like the fog #duty and sacrifice #real men keep cool in the face of a fire #lucky to be born
