How Did Zuko Know Sokka’s Name? (Hear Me Out)

To preface this: it’s been a long-standing observation by the fandom that Zuko doesn’t seem to be very good at remembering names. This is evidenced by how Iroh is always needing to introduce Zuko to people and their ranks and how even after chasing the Gaang for nearly a year, Zuko doesn’t know any of their names. Not even Appa whom he had a wanted poster for.

No, really. When Zuko first joins the Gaang, he doesn’t know their names. He only calls Aang “the Avatar” until someone else calls him Aang. He calls Appa “The Avatar’s bison”. He calls Katara “your sister” until Sokka says her name, and only then does Zuko say Katara. He never says Toph’s name at all for the entire show, only calling her “you”. Some fans even theorize that this is the reason Zuko awkwardly introduced himself the way he did with “Hello, Zuko here”, as if this was an attempt to prompt the others into introducing themselves in return. He really doesn’t seem to know their names.

None, that is, except Sokka.

And this is weird, right? Out of the original trio, Zuko had the least meaningful interaction with Sokka. Zuko battles Katara and Aang 1 in 1 multiple times, kidnaps them on different occasions, has private conversations with them.

So of all people why is Sokka the one whose name Zuko knows? Before Zukka shippers jump in, this isn’t that kind of post. All due respect, this is not a Zuko shipping theory. Onwards!

Zuko may be terrible with names, but you know who isn’t? Azula. Azula who we witness has such a strong understanding of her opponents and a ruthless attention to detail that she is able to use their vulnerabilities against them.

And who else hangs around with Azula who has a huge crush on Sokka? Ty Lee. We know Ty Lee must’ve talked to Azula about Sokka, not only because Ty Lee mentions how cute Sokka is multiple times, but because Azula knew that Sokka was dating Suki. We see this in the Day of Black Sun when Azula uses Suki to override Sokka’s reason and stall him from getting to Ozai.

Where did Azula find out Sokka had a thing with Suki? It could’ve only been from Ty Lee, whom Sokka overtly told in Ba Sing Se “I’m kinda involved with Suki!”

So we’ve established that Ty Lee and Azula discussed Sokka. What does this tell us?

Well we also know that “girl talk” is something Azula and Ty Lee engage in together. They collaborate on how to win over boys in “The Beach” and are shown whispering and giggling even in childhood about Mai’s crush on Zuko.

Imagine the situation from Zuko’s perspective. He’s trapped on a ship sailing to the Fire Nation, and later to and from Ember Island, with nothing to do except listen to his sister and Ty Lee gossip for hours about that hot Water Tribe boy Sokka.

Imagine his shock and horror upon introducing himself to the Gaang only to realize he doesn’t know a single one of their names… except Sokka and his allegedly magnum dong.

Oops but also update-

So I did not intend to completely ignore Tumblr for months, I was just super busy with school and did not have the energy to do anything with this. Good news though! I graduated, and am now looking for a job since that's out of the way. With a less busy schedule since I will never have homework again, I can resume posting stuff here!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you requested anything from me and it has not been fulfilled, please send a new ask. I had a lot in my inbox and I was overwhelmed and wanted to just start fresh so getting back into this will be less stressful. I have deleted all the asks I had before making this post, but everyone is welcome to send new ones. Please note that I am not paid for this, and I am not setting up Tumblr tipping since there's a chance it could get shut down quick since I do write some NSFW content, and as such, I will continue to take my time making posts. I do not intend to take months off with no warning again, I plan to make at least 2-3 posts a week (Depending on the amount of requests I get of course). My posts are just asks, I do not write independent work at the moment.

Thank you, everyone, for your support in the past, and anyone who will support me in the future. If you'd like to submit new asks now, please do! Make sure to see my pinned post for all the information about my blog!

mtl to enjoy cock warming? ee i just feel like soobin and taehyun are so cock warming coded!! nothing they love more than just having an easy afternoon with you while you sit on their dick, whining everytime they jolt their hips just a little bit to wake you up!! >~<

anonie.

you’re killing me here.

BUT YOURE SO RIGHHTTT

the way they would all do it

soobin is most likely, it’s a lazy afternoon, you’re both at home so why not cockwarm while watching a movie. he promises to fuck you afterwards, but you don’t know if you can last that long…

taehyun it’s a punishment (idk what’s with me and tae punishing but i’m addicted) you didn’t do what he wanted so now you have to wait, maybe you were impatient. he just helping you out.

yeonjun i think would do it just bc, but he wouldn’t last long. as soon as he’s in your pussy he just wants to fuck you. he lasts until you start whining and bucking your hips

beomgyu it’s while he’s playing his games, you sit there, head in the crook of his neck and his dick in your cunt. he keeps telling you “after this match” but he keeps playing. i wonder how you get him to stop…

and huekaii would do it to tease one hundo percent. he would hush your whines telling you if you push through this the reward will be sweet asf

Erm so I recently got into ff7 a few months ago and my brain is very obsessed with EC Sephiroth (or just Sephiroth in general). Been doodling him and the P0 team a lot to get me through this past semester of college. Now that I'm out for the summer, i'll be doing it even more :3

Making this blog just so I can post all my silly sillies...

#sephiroth #ever crisis #final fantasy vii #glenn lodbrok #Lucia lin #ff7 #ff7 ever crisis #I'm sorry I haven't posted on this site in forever #I just want to ramble and draw stuff from a mobile game lol #I've notice a lot of folks here call him “miniroth” and that's adorable :3

mentioning LOST's church ending got me riled up about the racism in LOST again lol. i obviously am aware that some actors just did not return to production for possibly other reasons, but also especially in the case of harrold perrineau (michael dawson) he felt like his character (and walt, his son) was treated like shit by the writing. and he was absolutely right. i've already made posts about this (will try to dig them up later), but michael was treated absolutely bullshit and unfairly wrt the story. michael betrayed them and killed two people, yes, but what did he do it for but to protect his son? he felt like nobody gave enough fucks about walt and there was some truth to that claim. his whole character arc is about being a dad to walt and their improving relationship over the course of being stuck on the island, so of course he would do that. it just makes sense.

which is why i don't think it's all that fair to punish him for it immensely in the narrative. harrold perrineau said it himself that he didn't want michael and walt to be another case of the absent black father stereotype [citation needed, i'll look for it but he said it in an interview] yet that's what he ended up being anyway. after his and walt's escape from the island, apparently walt cast him away because he doesn't agree with what his father did—which i actually think its interesting to explore: walt disagreeing with michael's actions and trying to grapple with it, but i don't think separating him from his dad was the best writing choice to make. walt is being punished for caring about his son by making his son be the one to cast him away. you can argue it's supposed to be tragic, michael is supposed to be a tragic character, but with the context surrounding michael's character? there's better ways to make his character be tragic than this.

which brings me to his next punishment. i was happy to see michael again on the kahana (just happy to see him in general), but it didn't last long when he gets killed, sacrificing himself to prevent/prolong the kahana's explosion from happening. (put a 📌 on this bc it's similar to how sayid dies and we'll come back to that later.) michael dies here and walt doesn't know about this. and then michael joins as part of the whispers, his soul trapped on the island (presumably forever) and that's why he's not in the church ending.

i'm gonna be frank. michael being trapped on the island because of his guilt or remorse or perhaps repenting for his sins is just bullshit to me. a lot of characters seen in the flash sideways and in the church ending are characters who've done "bad things". it's bullshit to have michael be the only one doomed to pay for his misdeeds forever. his misdeeds for... killing two people. not that killing two people is Nothing, but moreso if you examine the circumstances it's hardly anything to be damned eternally for.

remember the 📌 we had wrt sayid and michael? both of them died trying to prevent an explosion from reaching everybody else. which makes this more egregious imo. i can say 1000 things about sayid's arc (points to url), but this is about michael and not him, so i'll just focus on this: sayid was grappling with "being a bad person" for torturing and killing so many people. he worked as an assassin for ben. and yet, somehow, you're telling me sayid is not being damned eternally for his misdeeds but michael is? if you don't see the BS in that i don't know what to tell you.

i'm also aware why some characters don't appear any more re:conflicts with their actors (or just availabilities or other reasons for declining to come back), but even then arguably any conflicts with harrold perrineau stemmed from a justified place because of how michael was treated.

i think mr eko had a more dignified arc (he's one of my fav characters, thematically speaking) and honestly he had some of the rawest shit i've ever heard:

I ask for no forgiveness father for I have not sinned, I have only done what I needed to do to survive. A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man, if I could answer him now I would tell him, that when I was a young boy I killed a man to save my brothers life. I am not sorry for this, I am proud of this. I did not ask for the life that I was given but it was given none the less, and with it I did my best.

but despite this it doesn't change the fact that his absence in the church ending is very noticeable. he had meaningful connections with charlie, with locke, and interestingly like michael he kind of parallels sayid but this time thematically through their arcs. sayid is constantly burdened with feeling like he's a bad person and resigning to it as some sort of self-fulfilled prophecy, but mr eko is very firm about how he sees himself as not necessarily a bad man, just a man whose hands were forced because of the cards he was dealt. i wish we could have seen a more direct parallel between them, because it would've been interesting. back to the main point: i think it's such a missed opportunity for mr eko to not be here. especially since even after his death, hurley was able to communicate with his ghost, showing that he still had connections with his fellow losties even long after his death.

ana lucia being "not ready to move on" is interesting. but ultimately you can't help but raise a few eyebrows at it anyway. you can argue that, unlike mr eko she died an unresolved death, but most of the LOST characters died with an unresolved death. (she was killed early.) that's the whole point of the sideways segments. so what makes ana lucia so different from the others? yeah she killed shannon, but that was completely a freak accident. her people (the tailies) were being picked off one by one by the other so she was understandably on edge. she was kind of a hated character but i think a lot of it is just racism and misogyny combined tbh. (LOST is...notorious for a lot of misogynistic character writing decisions.) ana lucia was just as complex and morally "ambiguous" as the rest of them. i find the decision to make her corrupt in the sideways segments interesting (negative). cz like, there was never any indication she was like this in real life. what does that corruption symbolize? because obviously that corruption is a key to why she "can't move on yet". what exactly is she supposed to be repenting for? they hinted at a possible direction her arc is going towards before killing her off, ie. her ultimately choosing not to kill "henry gale" because she no longer wants blood on her hands. again, in a way, she's just like sayid! someone who decided they'd turn away from ceaseless violence. only right afterwards she got killed. so what does she need repenting for so much that she's left out of the church ending? much to think about.

i don't really know how to conclude this post. but my main point is that the lack of these characters during the church ending is and has racist implications. (again, i understand the casting issues, but it's still a writing decision you can critique as a viewer at the end of the day). i'll try to find the old posts i made last year abt michael and mr eko and their parallels to sayid and link them here (and self reblog).

edit: go read/look up "burn it down". it details a lot of the behind the scenes mistreatment of the staff (including racism and sexism), including actors and writers. the quote from an interview from harold perrineau that i mentioned was also linked in a reblog. (post link)

a redraw of this post from [checks date] 7 YEARS AGO? WOW the time has flown. you can really see that 7 year improvement

original post had hero + partner teams, except the gti and psmd team was pokemon i planned to play as, since at that point in time i played neither gti nor psmd

this redraw has the actual teams from the games i did finish, which unfortunately does not include gti. i do have a gti save (with a snivy hero & oshawott partner), but its been kind of just gathering dust. i think the farthest i got was completing gurdurr's story, so im Very early in it. might restart it for a different team tbh

from left to right, their team names are: Team Bright Sky, Team Serenity (actual in-game name was Darkness bc of eod. yes i was still playing on eos and not eod or eot), Team Hyacinth

#pmd #pokemon #pokemon mystery dungeon #espeon #quilava #glaceon #raichu #snivy #fennekin #art tag #oc: emerald (pmd) #oc: bronze (pmd) #oc: viola (pmd) #oc: dante (pmd) #oc: lucia (pmd) #did u know theres a tag limit and it doesnt warn you if you hit it. bc </3 yeah #quill is probably not his actual in-game name. ive forgotten his name for the longest time and used quill instead since Forever #just deleted so many fuckin tags that were my rambling thoughts bc the tags that were at the end did Not fucking show up when i searched it

WHY did tmfu have to take the most heart wrenching part of Che Vuole Questa Musica Stasera and PLAY IT TWICE and ADD STRINGS to make it EVEN SADDER like ok the original version only has the ‘the world around us did not exist/ because of the happiness you gave me’ part once but in the movie it happens twice and the strings?? THOSE STRINGS bring me to tears every time

#il mondo intorno a noi non esisteva #per la felicita che tu mi davi #napollya #it’s confirmed #tmfu #I am so normal about this song #he’s like the world around us did not exist #because of the happiness you gave me #and there is not a single universe in which I will be normal about that #AND THAT VERSION OF THE SONG DOESNT EVEN EXIST #GIVE ME MY NO SE TU PIU or whatever it says idk I don’t speak Italian #I only know what the il mondo is from the Spanish translation I saw and HOLY SHIT THAT MADE ME SOB #lucia rambles #I have no normal thoughts about tmfu they’re all unhinged

Do you think Farkas would adopt Lucia if the Dragonborn never came to town?

I think this is a really sweet idea! t would be really cute to see a fic about this, maybe Farkas bringing her back to Jorrvaskr and all the companions raise her as their kid.

If anyone is inspired to write the Companions as found family adopting Lucia, feel free to write it! Tag me so I ca read it :)

top 5 operas?

oh dear. yeah good question my friend!

there are the obvious ones that i adore, like lucia and la fille du régiment, and those are definitely up there but then i also really enjoy les huguenots and don giovanni. and then traviata is lovely too. i do quite like opera hamlet.. and nozze.. its very hard to do a solid top 5 but if i had to at gunpoint it would beee:

in no particular order (because i find it so hard to rank them. sorry) lucia di lammermoor, les huguenots, la fille du régiment, don giovanni aaand traviata i suppose

they’re kind of basic answers? maybe? sorry

#ask game #thank u!!! #this question is so incredibly hard to me because there’s several different reasons i enjoy an opera. and also i haven’t watched THAT many #if there’s an interesting plot point or if it’s beautiful musically or if there’s a character i adore … #like i really enjoy rigoletto a lot for example but it’s a different reason with lucia di lammermoor #lucia is my brainrot opera. like it’s a rather popular one but SOMETHING about it has me latched onto it. sorry about that. #les huguenots just makes me incredibly sad it’s a powerful story based off the very real st bartholomew’s day massacre #la fille is just my silly. always happy to listen to anything from fille honestly. i also really connect with marie for… reasons. #don giovanni is don giovanni i mean Come On. what’s not to like about it (i mean other than Those productions where they have anna “want it #la traviata is just the first opera i really really got into so i guess it’s like. it holds a nice place in my heart #i also just love certain bits of it #i read the novel it’s based off etc #of course there’s a lot more i enjoy but these were just the first that came to mind! #sorry. im rambling
