image description: two digital paintings of a bridge in the Northern Water Tribe city from Avatar the Last Airbender.
In the first painting, Sokka and Yue are standing together at the center of the bridge, smiling at each other. they both wear warm blue parkas with white fluffy trim and accents. Both have brown skin. Sokka has short dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. Yue has long white hair, also pulled up on top of her head, with two strands in front of her ears, framing her face. The sky is dim at the top but bright towards the bottom, where the sun is setting. The sunset casts a warm glow on the entire scene, and the bridge with the couple is well-lit.
In the second painting, only Sokka stands on the bridge. He is to the side now, facing away from view. The buildings and bridge are much darker, the Water Tribe insignia barely visible. However, now the sky is fairly bright, lit by a full moon. Although the moon doesn’t light up the scene like the sun did, it does cast a glow onto Sokka.
after a long and heartfelt hug he and Iroh had The Talk™gay edition
[ID 1: An atla fan comic. Sokka is painting a painting while Katara and Aang stand to the side. Katara says, “Your painting looks… lovely. But since when were you left-handed?”
Sokka, “You see, I’m actually ambidextrous.”
The image zooms in on Aang’s surprised face, then he exclaims excitedly, “That’s great, Sokka!! Love who you love!”
There are two little speech bubbles at the bottom. One says, “What.” the other “Pfft.”
[ID 2: A continuation of the comic. Aang keeps talking excitedly while Zuko enters the room in the background. Aang says, “The air nomads said that love transcends our physical bodies. Men and women didn’t hide who they loved and were accepting of each other’s differences. They embraced everyone, regardless of their orientation.”
The comic zooms in on Zuko. Tears are running down his face. Aang continues, “Monk Gyatso once told me-” but is interrupted by Sokka saying, “That’s all very interesting, Aang, but that’s not what I was talking– Zuko!? Why are you crying??”
The comic further zooms onto his face. He’s averting his eyes and says, “So, I’m not a disgrace to the nation for liking men?” Sokka deadpans, “Oh my god.” Katara explaims, “Of course not!!” Aang says, “Quick, he needs a hug!” /END ID]
