i started this waaaaay back when i first binged miraculous ladybug. couldn’t get over the dynamic of superhero duo who don’t know each other’s secret identities but do also know each other in their normal lives, and they’re in love but they aren’t but they are they just don’t know it.
you know, i originally was spending so much time trying to think of sokka’s alter ego, and i put grey wolf in as a filler but then i realized how Sokka it was. like this other dude in a costume introduces himself like “hey, I’m the Blue Spirit” and sokka who hasn’t had time to process yet that he’s a superhero and is indeed the worst at naming things, goes, “oh, Blue Spirit? Hi. I’m….. Grey…. Wolf.” and then zuko would be like “You just used my name as a template! You just changed the color and the creature!!!” and sokka’s like “Whaaaaat! Nooooo. No. I actually had this idea before you even said anything, which means actually you are the one copying me!” and zuko demands he change his name, think of something better, but the news is there so it’s already circulating and people are saying what a nice pair they make
[id: digital fanart of Sokka and Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender, split into two sections. The top section is a 4-panel comic, from an interview-style perspective asking questions individually of Sokka and Zuko, both wearing modern clothes. Panel 1 asks Sokka, “What do you think about Zuko?” He shrugs and looks away thoughtfully, answering, “Zuko? Hm. I don’t know him too well. I guess he’s pretty cool.” Panel 2 asks Zuko, “What do you think about Sokka?” He scratches at the back of his neck and looks away, blushing with a sheepish grin, and answers, ”Ah… He’s… he’s nice.” A little heart indicates his true feelings. Panel 3 asks Sokka, “What about the Blue Spirit?” Sokka clasps his face between his hands, eyes shiny and half-lidded, cheeks red, a squiggly smile on his face and hearts all around, and answers, “… LOML.” Panel 4 asks Zuko, “What about Grey Wolf?” Zuko’s face is stern, his hand balled in a fist, and he answers, “Annoying.” There’s two small captions on the bottom that read (he’s kidding) (… maybe). The bottom section is a depiction of Sokka and Zuko together as their alter egos, Grey Wolf and the Blue Spirit respectively. Grey Wolf has a wolf mask that covers the top half of his face, a skintight blue, grey, and white suit, with leather straps to hold weapons and white fur on his shoulders and wrists, as well as a fluffy tail. The Blue Spirit is in the canon mask, plus a skintight blue and black suit, with a sword strapped to his back. Grey Wolf has one arm around Blue Spirit’s back grabbing his shoulder, and his other hand is gently poking at the Blue Spirit’s cheek. Grey Wolf is grinning and has a little heart indicating he’s enjoying this. The Blue Spirit is standing with his arms crossed and a scribble indicating he’s annoyed. The background is a vague cityscape at sunset. end id]
a little something for @erisenyo’s fic Love is in the hair, (feat zukka, identity reveals, and a trip to the hairdresser) i’ve never been more happy to win a fic bingo in my life <333
“So these are optimal learning conditions for you?” Zuko murmurs, eyes half-lidded on Sokka’s face and thumbs tracing the hollows of Sokka’s hip bone. “Staring at my chest?”
one of my favorite scenes from @erisenyo’s fic Lessons in Proper Asset Management, nothing helps with solving budgeting problems like writing them out on your very dedicated boyfriend’s chest <3
i dont cross streets unless the lights green but sometimes that means getting stuck behind the same slow walking-in-the-of-the-sidewalk perfume cloud twice
“I was ready to fight for us. I was ready to find a way, any way for us to work. And you were the one who ran away when it got too hard!”
“That’s not what happened and you know it!” Sokka snaps. “It was never going to work, and it was stupid to keep pretending otherwise! I’m sorry Zuko, I am, but just because you are the Fire Lord, just because we– we were in love, everything wasn’t going to magically fall into place.”
Zuko still has a stubborn expression on his face. There are angry tears in his eyes when he says, “We could’ve figured it out. We could’ve…been us. We could’ve had a good life together.”
“Yeah, well, I guess we won’t ever know.”
(or, the twenty years between Zuko and Sokka breaking up and finally getting together again, shown in 5 times they don’t say goodbye, +1 time they don’t have to)

was telling life coach dude how ive been having trouble sleeping again and feeling bad and not liking myself at all and. he asked me to call him when i feel bad which is. nice and also impossible and anyway it felt like. the talk ppl give you when they find out you self harm or think about suicide. which is not whats happening. beyond the reflexive what if my brain does that i have plenty of practice dealing with. and im just. tired and sad and kinda wishing i could be someone else and. im not. telling him that. maybe ill talk about it on monday. but this is. a thing i can point out when ppl are close enough to see. not a weight i can carry toward someone.
i wish sleep could just. stop being a battle with myself that i always lose.
