the thing that is so crazy about sokka and yue is that obviously they are foils, like yue is specifically narratively constructed to parallel sokka in terms of prioritizing their duties to their fathers & tribes, sacrificing their own agency and life to serve their communities by fulfilling their role in the patriarchal order.. but yue herself doesn’t even know that. because sokka never talks about anything. so even when she’s like “you don’t understand, i have duties to my father and to my tribe,” sokka isn’t like “actually i understand your situation very intimately, as it is an exact mirror of the circumstance that has defined my entire existence.” because if he said that, he would not be sokka. so he’s just like “but have you considered not making yourself miserable? i think that’s something you, as a person, could do. obviously i could never do that, but your situation is totally different. because you don’t deserve to be miserable. whereas i do.”
