Zuko: *after Sokka officially asks to court him* Wait… you like me?

Sokka: *has been dropping progressively more and more obvious hints for months* What do you mean ‘you like me?’- Of course I like you!

Zuko: *needs everything spelled out directly in his face before he understands anything* How was I supposed to know?!

-Later-

Sokka: *Still seething* Zuko, we’ve kissed. You’ve had my tongue in your mouth-

Zuko: *crossing his arms* I thought it was as friends!

Sokka: *incoherent screaming*

Zukka headcanon

After Zuko joins the Gaang, Sokka makes it his personal mission to make him feel more welcome in the group.

Maybe the reason Sokka challenged Zuko to the swordfight was because he wanted him to be more included, but at that point no one besides Aang wanted to train with him? And maybe he arranged for everyone to watch because he wanted to encourage them to also start training with Zuko?

Also it seems that Suki and Hakoda are not here, which means that it's likely before the Boiling Rock. And yet Sokka already trusts Zuko enough to train with him using dangerous weapons, and he already seems pretty relaxed and comfortable around him.

zukka HCs that hit me in the middle of the night:

- Sokka cooks, Zuko bakes

- caffeine makes Zuko slow down enough to focus but completely knocks Sokka out

- they’re both into skincare, but Zuko is more about long term care whereas Sokka is just a sucker for sheet masks

- Zuko misses having short hair (for the practicality ofc) but he keeps it long so Sokka has something to play with while he’s busy reading

- Zuko actually learns to self-regulate his emotions really well and just stays silent for a while to collect his thoughts, but that all goes out the window when Sokka hits him with a “C’mon, use your big boy words.”

- Zuko gets tension headaches all the time and refuses to do anything about it, but Sokka remembers that the magic combo to make him feel better is a hot bath + ice pack on the head so he always has them ready to go

- Sokka jokes about his trauma, but it makes Zuko genuinely upset (like frowny face, chest poking, pouting, getting in Sokka’s face, and telling him to “stop that!”)

- Sokka loves telling Zuko “It’s a non-bender thing… you wouldn’t understand” (especially when he does something cool with a weapon that Zuko doesn’t know how to use)

- Sokka found out about compatibility quizzes and makes Zuko take them with him all the time but still acts shocked when they get high scores/high compatibility

Hi! I'm literally obsessed with Zukka and every time I see your art, I die and resurrect about seven times, cause it's SO GOOD!! 😭

I wanted to ask, what are your most 'unconventional' or odd Zukka headcanons? If you have any 😅

If not, maybe just your favorite ones? Or some original ones? 👀

shuhudhideaiun you’re so sweet thank you and of COURSE I do but like. I also would like to list my favourites and originals bc some of them are so so adorable n fun.

Unconventional

-sokka fidgets. like a lot. but the way he does is by biting his nails so zuko bought him beads and necklaces and just jewellery in general so he could play with that instead of destroying his fingers.

-zuko has like no spacial awareness at all (he’s literally blind in one eye) so sokka always has a hand on his back or arm to make sure he doesn’t crash into anything 😭

-zuko has trouble staying on top of his work and is constantly complaining about needing a clearer schedule so sokka just, invents highlighters and comes to zuko one day like: here you go babe now you can colour code your schedule 😊 and zuko’s like: what the fuck

Favourite

-one by my wonderful friend @motheryves: sokka can sing but pretends to sing badly in front of his friends to annoy them

-another one by my friend @kiki-strike: a long post which you can find if you scroll through my ask tag about zuko’s relationship with his scar and how sokka finds a way to be tender and gentle with him (like, touching it) without freaking him out. (seriously this is such a tender sweet head canon and I still think about it to this day.

-not sure where it came from but the hc that sokka and zuko can’t take showers together because one setting is in the pits of hades and the other is the literal icy tundras.

Original, but less odd

-sokka is a sleep wrestler and at first zuko thinks it’s because he’s just. like that. but after sokka starts talking in his sleep about ‘I need to save them.’ ‘I’m strong enough.’ then zuko’s like: oh. oh his failure complex is on even in his sleep. so next time it happens he wordlessly just pulls sokka close and strokes his hair until he’s still. (it takes Sokka a few weeks to figure out why he’s suddenly sleeping so well.)

-the first time sokka says I love you is when they’re lounging in zuko’s chambers and it’s late there’s dim candlelight and zuko is laughing at something stupid sokka said. so sokka tries to say I love you but gets whacked in the face with a bottle (zuko flails) so when he gets to the sick bay and zuko is tending to his bruise saying shit like ‘I’m so dumb I’m so sorry’ sokka just, blurts it out. (a true display of zuko being authentic zuko, not hiding behind a cold unfeeling mask, but always looking out for others and caring for them. that’s the zuko who sokka loves, so he told him then.)

-the first time zuko says I love you is when sokka is painting, and he comes over to bring him tea and sokka gets startled and just, spills his tea all over himself and his painting and he stands up too quickly to get a towel so he slips on the spilled tea on the floor and now he’s ass first on the ground just laughing, wide and unapologetic and that’s when zuko says it. (a true display of sokka being authentic sokka, not trying to prove his worth or be more of a man or be anything other than himself. that’s the sokka that zuko loves, so he told him then.)

Zukka incorrect quote based on a conversation my friends had in our trig class today

Zuko: I can’t figure out how to make this logarithmic function hit these points on the graph

Sokka: oh…I just made linear lines to hit the points

Zuko: but that’s cheating??

Sokka: no it isn’t

Zuko: it literally is- the point of the assignment is to create logarithmic functions, you can’t just use linear lines.

Sokka: well if I hit you over the head with a pan-

Zuko: WHAT?? why are you hitting me in the head, I thought you loved me???

Sokka, continuing as if Zuko hadn’t interrupted him: -and you pass out, then it wouldn’t matter what type of pan it was, would it? You would still be unconscious.

Zuko: what the fuck is wrong with you

Sokka: a graph is a graph.

Sokka: …

Sokka: also I do love you

#Sokka would 100% find creative ways to get around stupid and difficult assignments #and Zuko does not understand his boyfriend’s analogies but he’s trying <3 #zukka #sokka #Zuko #sokka x Zuko #my post #zukka headcanons

[gigilberry]

zukka hc for the masses:

every time zuko’s in an angst/rage funk sokka makes a point to say the most unhinged sentence that instantly knocks him right out of it. just one hit KO’s him. and it either gets the most “i cahn’t believe you done this” glare or else surprise cackling from zuko and zuko hates it so much because it works every. single. time. case in point:

zuko: *is sobbing*

sokka: .....so are you like. legit sad?

#zukka #zukka headcanons #atla headcanons #zuko atla #sokka atla #atla #avatar the last airbender #yk on second thought maybe a one shot would explain this better what if i wrote one

[4-vatar]

Imagine Sokka sitting on Zukos lap while Zuko is laying down on the bed, Sokka is teasing him, Zuko trying to hide his blush by moving his head away from Sokka, in turn making Sokka tease him more. It would probably play out like this:

*Sokka teaaing Zuko*

Zuko: "Cut it out...!"

Sokka: "What's wrong? The Firelord cant handle a little teasing?"

Zuko, currently blushing A LOT: "Shut up...!"

It would be like a grumpy black and and a happy golden retriver dog dynamic.

they find out the hard way that zuko is allergic to penguins

i imagine on the first visit to the SWT sokka has been talking up the penguins for Weeks and they get there and Zuko can't stop sneezing

--Sokka can't stop laughing

(I also imagine that the penguins would want to be warm and huddle over to Zuko, who would have no choice but to be overwhelmed by very cute penguins that he can't stop sneezing around)

Okay but like where are the fics of sokka defending zuko when someone makes an off handed remark about himself? Where are the fics of zuko defending sokka’s intelligence when someone scoffs at one of his ideas?

Where are the fics where one of the beats the shit out of someone for being a dick to the other???

Please

Sokka and Zuko try their best to hide their relationship in public, but when they know they're in safe company, they become That Couple. Borderline gross PDA, obnoxious pet names, oversharing, the full fucking works. Their friends are torn between revulsion and being happy for them.

#usually it's begrudgingly happy revulsion #zukka #sokka x zuko #zuko x sokka #zukka headcanons

[thief-of-eggs]

I’ve been thinking a lot about Zuko and Sokka having PTSD, and how it would present itself in them both after the war. (And how they would both help eachother get through it)

For Zuko, I think his triggers would be found mostly in sights (too quick of moments, someone standing too close, seeing people grow irritated or angry, etc)

But for Sokka, I think it would mostly be sounds. Thunder, shouting, fire hissing, etc.

I like to think it would take them both a while to learn their triggers, to learn to accept and to come to terms with them, to figure out how to make their lives a little more liveable. But I especially like the idea of them both being hyper conscious of the other’s triggers instead of their own

Like, Zuko knows to be on the lookout for poor weather, since thunder brings about nightmares and flashbacks for Sokka. Meanwhile Sokka is always sure to announce his presence when he comes into a room lest he startle Zuko, is always sure to never block an exit, etc. Yet Sokka is pretty much in denial that thunder can cause him such distress, and Zuko doesn’t even realize he breaks out in a cold sweat when all the exits are blocked.

I think it takes them awhile to accept their own struggles, but they are nothing if not hyper aware of the other’s. They’re more than willing to help the other get through things, even if coming to terms with their own trauma is a bit difficult for them. But they learn to accept it through helping eachother. They learn that their brokenness isn’t any less forgivable than the other’s. Their scars are not damning. Their broken edges will smooth out over time.

They’ll both be ok. And in the meantime- they learn that sometimes, it’s ok to not be ok. They’ll get through it. After all- even on their darkest nights, they have eachother.

Hello to the 2 Zukka fans who may actually see this, i bring you Free Thoughts of a 2 am snacker!

Zukka hockey player/figure skater au

Now, i know what you’re thinking: Lydia! Tupp! This has already been done before!

And you would be correct! However! My brain has tweaked it in a way i have personally yet to see (wink wink nudge nudge drop the fic links if you’ve read this before)

So! My thoughts on the subject:

Hockey Player Zuko and Figure Skater Sokka

Zuko, child figure skating prodigy who suffered a tragic accident, is hidden away for two years before he reemerges under his Uncle’s care as a fierce hockey competitor after everyone said he’d never skate again

Sokka, who’s sister Katara became a World Junior Champion at 16* in ice hockey and who Sokka feels he can never live up to, enjoys after-hours figure skating on the same ice he works to maintain. Sokka, who watches singles programs galore and learns his favorites and recreates them, posting them to youtube for his 6 followers (Hakoda, Bato, GranGran, some kid name Aang, and two other anonymous strangers). Sokka who has a natural grace to him despite the obvious lack of formal training, who skates like he’s got everything and nothing to lose, whose love for the art shows in every glide and every turn. Sokka who gets discovered one day by an old grumpy coach who offers to give him a few tips. Sokka who is a fast learner and spends ages 14 to 18 quickly climbing the local ranks.

Zuko, who, at 16 faces a second injury that takes him out of hockey forever. Zuko, who has just been officially disowned as his own sister takes to the spotlight. Zuko, angry at the world, lashing out at everyone around, but goes willingly with his uncle when Iroh suggests a change of scenery 6 months into his recovery. Zuko who is determined to skate again, if only for himself, if only to prove that yes, he is strong enough to come back again. Zuko who strikes a deal with local ice rink that if he sits and runs the front counter during the day while his uncle runs the popular new tea shop inside the rink, he can use the rink after hours once his injury is healed enough. Almost 17 year old Zuko who stays late to reorganize some papers behind the counter one night and sees Sokka step onto the ice and go through vigorous warm ups and exercises. Zuko, who drifts a little closer and watches as Sokka is told he can skate anything he wants for the first skate. Zuko, hearing the song from the last program he ever skated come on through the speakers and watching as Sokka skates through it easily, with a passion Zuko himself had never managed to feel. Zuko, who occasionally stays behind to secretly watch a pretty boy skate and never gets caught for 4 more months. Zuko, who is finally cleared by his physical therapist to get back on the ice but with orders to take it slow, gliding carefully out onto well-taken-care-of ice for the first time in almost a year in skates very different from his last pair, and it feels strangely like coming home.

Sokka who watches a stranger hesitantly enter the rink. He comes to the rink on his nights off when everything at home becomes too much. He loves his sister and his parents- because Bato never needed to marry his dad to be a second father to him- and he even loves his sweet crazy old GranGran, but sometimes it all gets to be too much. They know he’s seriously training in figure skating now but they’ve never come to any of his recitals**. Its not that they dont care, but theres always something else going on. “Oh, we cant, Katara has her out of state tournament that weekend” or “Oh no bud Im so sorry, Bato and I are going on a late anniversary trip that day” or even “I have too much homework, Sokka, I’ll come to the next one, promise!” The only one who never makes an excuse but he also never actually sees in the audience is GranGran (this’ll be important later on wink wink). So, when things get to be too much and Sokka gets tired of having to be the loudest person in the room just to simply be acknowledged, he comes to his safe place. The rink after hours. Sokka watches from the upper shadows as the stranger takes careful, measured, practiced glides. Like riding a bike for the first time in ages, they’re hesitant at first before they slowly gain traction. At first, he thinks the stranger is just going to glide from one end to the other all night but instead he watches as they slowly begin a few exercises. Very familiar exercises. (Do you see where im going with this?) And then, they turn around, and Sokka is suddenly breathless because before him is the most beautiful boy- the most beautiful human- he’s ever seen. And sure, maybe Sokka has always fallen too fast and too hard, and sure, Sokka has literally never talked to this boy in his entire life, but Sokka looks at him and sees that look on his face and knows. ‘He’s just like me.’

Zuko who keeps coming back and lingers before Sokka gets on the ice. Sokka who stays late to watch Zuko retrain himself. Piandao who is sick and tired of watching these two boys dance around each other when they could clearly be learning from one another because, though Zuko had not trained in figure skating in years, he had been a true prodigy and he picked it back up easier than he should have been able. Piandao who was Zuko’s first coach before his father transferred him to Zhao’s guidance. (Jeong Jeong, a retired pro hockey player who is tired of listening to his husband bitch all day anout oblivious idiots because they’re starting to remind him of himself and Piandao when they were young and headstrong.) Jeong Jeong who finally takes matters into his own hand and tells the boy who runs his front counter that Piandao would like for him to come to Sokka’s next practice and then tells Piandao to “Stop whining and do something now, I’ll see you at home” with a kiss on the cheek as the two boys shyly trade introductions.

Zuko who begins helping Sokka with his training even as he himself recovers and relearns. Sokka showing up on the nights Zuko skates alone with greasy takeout and the occasional baked good his GranGran made that day. Sokka and Zuko curling up on the couch in the back office watching old figure skating videos on an old laptop and Sokka finally realizing exactly who Zuko is as Zuko finally realizes Sokka is that one youtuber he watched for years when he was younger. Zuko laughing and telling him that the random subscriber Aang is actually a friend of his and the other anonymous subscriber was just Zuko’s second account after he lost the password to the first.

On one of their casual skate nights, once Zuko is back to full strength, Sokka suggests they learn a pairs skate tongether for fun. Ike a trust exercise!” He says as if he hasnt been dying to know what it would feel like to skate in tandem with Zuko since he first saw his face. Zuko agrees and he and Sokka find a program they both like. They decide who’s skating what and then begin to fumble through learning their individual parts. A week or two later, they try it together for the first time, no music, and its not half bad. They continue to learn it together and notice that the more they skate together, the better they get individually. Zuko’s refined control gives Sokka a more polished look without smothering his passion while Sokka’s passion and fluidity allows Zuko to loosen up and actually enjoy what he’s doing. (1 hour mark)

Eventually, they put it to music, and Piandao and Jeong Jeong emerge from the shadows at the end of the song. Piandao asks them if they want to learn their own pairs program to compete together this year. The two boys share a look and agree almost immediately. The next few months are spent learning the choreography. Sokka and Zuko both go through core strength training and lifting weights because Piandao is currently planning to have them both lift each other at some point in the program.

Time jumps forward to the competitions and Zuko and Sokka blow it out of the water. This time, Sokka spots his GranGran when Zuko is pointing out and waving to his Uncle Iroh near the top of the rink. She’s sitting with Zuko’s uncle and he’s elated to see her there and yet, disappointed that his family still hasn’t come to support him. Time jumps again. Sokka and Zuko spends hours training and then hours on their off days hanging around Zuko and Iroh’s house or even Iroh’s tea shop. They ofc have spent all of this time in continual pining.

But, time jump to when they’re both 18 and 19 and they’ve both just qualified to skate pairs at Junior Worlds for the second year and this year they’re sure to win. They’re in Zuko’s kitchen, baking, and as they’re waiting for the over timer to go off, a slow song comes on. Sokka, in contrast to his norm, is quiet and gentle in the way he offers Zuko his hand and they slow dance in the kitchen with flour in their hair. They’re a little giggly and high on adrenaline but neither are sure who leans in first, only that they are both very much on board with the whole kissing thing. Despite the years of tension, the kiss is tentative and sweet. They begin dating and it only makes their program better. The love they have for each other so clearly pours over into their skating.

This Junior Worlds is the first tike GranGran finally drags the rest of the family by the ear to come and watch Sokka compete and to Zuko’s surprise, he sees Aang and a few of his other friends in the audience. Sokka and Zuko win (to no ones surprise).

Insert sokka family angst and resolve here. Insert zuko family trauma etc here

Sokka and Zuko go om to do more pairs skating things and they live happily ever after etc ete

I ran out of steam there but its 3:10 in the morning and i started at 1:51. Hope you enjoyed, this has been 2 am thoughts with Lydia.

* i did minimal research here, be proud

I will make anything related to Klance or Zukka in every possible way like, I’m not sorry those four have ingrained into my chamber forever and no, they won’t be leaving. I’m keeping them hostage 😾👊

I have always pictured old!Zukka quarreling around Ember Island or Wolf Cove. Just quarreling, like what they are—an old married couple—over the silliest of stuff."

...

"You forgot our anniversary that year"

"I didn't"

"Yes you did, you gave me a NAPKIN as a present!",

"IT WAS OUR DAUGHTER ADOPTION PAPERS!"

...

At this point, people is not alarmed anymore, they just low-key gather around to see them fight, they run bets on who's winning every week (they always start the show at 4 pm on thursdays) and once they have a winner, the servants speculate about how cheesy their next date will be (usually the one who wins feels so guilty they end up apologising through ridiculous gestures and to their disgrace, it keeps getting worse).

Usually they pray for Fire Lord Zuko to win, because his date ideas are less outrageous, but the old man keeps losing to the silliest of arguments.

Maybe he just likes dates but Agni, if they had to cover the whole place with flowers again while trying to get the damn dragon not to burn them all, they're gonna lost it.

#they don't fight when it's really cold outside cuz Zuko has bad circulation #sokka keeps winning cuz he can recall every one of zuko's wrongdoings since they were 16 #“You forgot Iroh at the fair TWICE” / “and you tried to kill me FOR A YEAR” #liv rambles #silly ideas i have #zukka #atla #zukka headcanons #zukka nation #crack post #crack headcanons

I just think zukka should put a little fire lily in their respective pockets for their wedding that’s all

#apparently that top pocket in a suit is called a welt?? did not know that but ok #I have been having such soft zukka thoughts today #also I do not think Sokka would wear a traditional tux or suit in a modern au #he would wear something much cunty-er #Zuko would not wear a traditional tux in the way that he would wear something much more *expensive* #I’m also making a playlist of songs that would be must plays at their wedding if anyone wants that….dm me #zukka #zukka headcanons #my post #headcanons and stuff #sokka x zuko

[franceblr]

i recently found out that in Inuit culture the strenght of a kunik is directly proportional to the amount of love/emotion you feel towards the receiver. so naturally here i am picturing sokka reserving his most aggressive kunik for his reunions with zuko, forcefully nuzzling his cheek or forehead while zuko laughs and holds sokka close :))
