gotcha!
Been experiencing two polar thoughts about this sceneā¦
1. There is no way Sokka is expecting to win this battle. He is the one and only warrior left in the village, about to face down a Fire Nation ship all by himself. Sokka has been the epitome of bravery since the very beginning.
2. Sokka canāt draw worth shit, and yet he sure can perfectly apply war paint on himself without even so much as a mirror aksdflj
Hereās a concept thatās been living rent free in my mind for a month: Aizawa and Mic own a nursery and these are the kids that attend
It just dawned on me that Sokka truly is a man of the arts. Haiku, painting, an appreciation for theatre(and yes, I do consider pro wrestling as a form of theatre, which is seen how hyped he was during Earth Rumble VI). He is the ideal engineering major with a huge appreciation for art.
donāt forget sculpting (his blubbering blob monster sand sculpture of suki), carving (the bear fish he carved for yue), and set design (he praised the effects in the boy in the iceberg). iāve always said that i think thereās a false dichotomy between stem & liberal arts, because true science is a lot more theoretical and abstract, philosophical and artistic than we like to give it credit for. sokka is very logical, yes, but heās also incredibly creative, which are the two key traits required in puzzle-solving. sokka solves problems through creative means; thatās what makes him so brilliant. but we see he enjoys harnessing that creativity elsewhere, too. itās a shame that he never had time for art between the ages of 10-16 (āyou canāt fight the fire nation with fun,ā after all), because i do think with some practice heād be genuinely great at art, and itās clear he loves it.
my friend: whatās one of your favourite characters?
me: regulus black
friend: the guy whose only source of screen time was through a picture?
me: r.a.b
friend: now that iām thinking about it, did we even see him on screen?
me: regulus. arcturus. black.
friend: why are you like this
me: regulus!!!!!
Iāve seen lots of future Leo going to the past-present content, and it got me thinkin abt how this ptsd ridden turtle might accidentally mistake or forget that the present bros are not his bros⦠especially Mikey who he didnāt even get the chance to grieve.
and we all know Leo had no plans to go to the past without him and be the last one left.
