how often does the gaang and co ummm um AAH I CANT THINK AF ANYTHIG Top eight silly gaang facts part 1 ?

okay I guess this calls for some of my most firmly-held yet largely inconsequential “headcanons” as the kids say (usually not a fan of that word bc it is far too broad and therefore useless, but I do think it applies in this case) [mario voice] lets a go!

aang is a really big fan of lychees, they are his favorite fruit, but since they were primarily grown at the air temples, there is a distinct shortage of lychees in this strange new world. after the war, aang makes sure to repopularize lychees, and he even gets a few lychee desserts and lychee flavored drinks named after him.

after the war ends, sokka finally gets the opportunity to practice his art in earnest. his combination of dedication, adaptability, and innate talent at anything he sets his mind to leads him to vastly improve at a brisk pace. the drawing we see of the gaang at the beginning of lok was actually done by sokka only a couple years later.

aang and suki have had a very intense prank war going since suki first arrived at the western air temple. unlike sokka, who never appreciated aang’s pranks, suki gets pranked by aang and immediately plots revenge. in fact her pranks are so good it causes aang to reevaluate and forces him to step up his prank game. on ember island they are pranking the other at least five times a day, but it seems to die down once the war ends. that said, the pranks themselves escalate from harmless goofs to elaborate schemes. at one point suki is nearly sent to supermax (again) for “endangering the life of the avatar,” but aang vouches for her before it can get to that, because he doesn’t wanna look like a pussy by admitting that suki’s prank could’ve killed him.

one of zuko’s primary coping mechanisms as firelord is adopting all the stray cats who wander onto the premises in search of food. he lets them all roam freely around the palaces, and names every one (which is kind of awkward bc he is so much better at remembering these cats’ names than literally any human he’s ever met, least of all the important political figures he ought to know). there’s one cat in particular, an extremely fluffy white cat with bright blue eyes, who is just his favorite. he doesn’t understand what makes her so special until katara arrives at the palace with aang on one of the rare occasions that she actually agrees to set foot in the fire nation, and the moment she meets this cat she’s like “zuko i think this is my soulmate.” they have no choice but to take this cat back to the south pole, where she lives a blessed life as katara’s cherished and beloved catara.

sokka is king kuei’s most trusted advisor, but sokka really hates king kuei, so as a bribe/incentive for keeping him in ba sing se kuei lets sokka spend most of his time there doing research at ba sing se university. he teaches the obligatory engineering course because it would be a waste not to while they have him there, but it’s clear he mostly cares about physics, and his intense and esoteric physics research alienates 99.99% of the student (and faculty) body. nonetheless, he thinks anyone who doesn’t understand what he’s talking about despite the fact that this category encompasses “most people” is an idiot, and he calls them idiots to their face. the handful of students who can actually follow what he’s talking about and put in the work are deemed “normal” and he asks them to help him with his research. these select few go to bat for sokka whenever someone complains about him. they’re like “he actually makes a lot of sense you just need to try to understand him” and everyone else is like “he told me to drop out and go back to preschool” and they’re like “well you should listen to him then.”

toph goes to see her parents after the war ends, assuming they’ll finally have to accept her now that she’s a certified war hero and the undisputed greatest earth bender in the world. instead they just criticize her and demean her and make her cry, so she’s like “fuck this” and chops her hair off to her chin. she goes back to the fire nation and appoints herself senior advisor and emotional support to the firelord (because he needs it). not only are her lie detecting and bodyguarding skills (as well as just her general savvy when it comes to navigating the court) instrumental in keeping zuko safe those first few years, but she’s also instrumental in azula’s recovery process, taking her on weekly long walks outdoors, sometimes spent in silence, but progressively not, which prove extremely therapeutic not only for azula, but for toph as well.

the first year ty lee spends on kyoshi island, suki goes from not quite trusting her (despite begrudgingly accepting that she’s hot), to enjoying her friendship (despite her overwhelming hotness), to being forced to accept that ty lee might actually have the teensiest upper hand in combat (which is ANNOYING and definitely not sexy!!!), to being forced to accept that she does have an honest to goodness crush on ty lee, to deciding that it’s only embarrassing if she doesn’t actually do something about it. sokka’s just laughing his ass off like “do you hook up with every new kyoshi warrior you recruit from off the island or do you make a point to only recruit the hot ones so you can hook up with them” and suki’s just like “oh my god SHUT UP!!!!!!”

mai takes advantage of zuko’s new initiative to promote the arts across the fire nation by going to the open mic nights in the city and honing her craft of stand up comedy. sokka is her number one fan (in general and when it comes to her art), but whenever mai’s like “sokka you’re funny you should try a set” sokka’s just like “thanks but i have self-respect. i mean, not much, but enough to know better than that. uh............. I mean.......... YOU’RE amazing though.”

suki hears about the cactus juice incident from katara who is attempting to shittalk her brother but suki only hears “best drug in the world ripe for the picking in the si wong desert” and makes aang take her there on appa so she can harvest as many cacti as possible for her lucrative new business model. katara fears she may have created a monster.

Do you have similar headcanons for katara?

oh you fucking bet i do!!

of course, we cannot mention katara without giving a shoutout to li, her wonderful, dutiful boyfriend who cooks her dinner every night, remembers everything she’s ever ranted about, and genuinely loves his job at pbs

before li, though, there were some............very questionable guys

katara and sokka once got in a huge fight over a dude who sokka claimed was a pathological liar. katara accused sokka of being jealous. sokka was deeply confused about why he would be jealous?? “well....i don’t know.....maybe because he works for nasa?????” (gotcha, sokka.) sokka just splutters, “he’s clearly lying to you!!!” to which katara counters, “why would a guy who works for nasa feel the need to lie?????????”

toph had a pet tarantula named spidey. katara threw spidey out the window. pour one out for spidey

katara starts dealing with her anger by reminding herself of that time azula told her the moon landing was faked. whenever she feels a rage coming on, she just quietly whispers to herself “azula thinks the moon landing was staged, azula thinks the moon landing was staged” and a sense of calm washes over her

over a decade and a half later, sokka and zuko approach her very pleased with themselves to announce that sokka successfully debunked the moon landing conspiracy to azula, who has now changed her mind. katara lunges at him, yelling, “YOU BASTARD, I’LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

she and ty lee were lab partners in tenth grade. they each thought the other was totally incompetent, and found the whole affair very stressful.

katara and zuko are both pitiful at math, and in high school they would study for math tests together because they refused to ask anyone who actually could do math for help. of course, their study sessions mainly just involved bitching about everything and everyone they hated, and they both got C’s at best. once, zuko went to sokka for help and ended up getting a B+, and katara didn’t speak to him for a week.

she once dated a psychic who dumped her by telling her he saw heartbreak in her future

katara works at a small, local coffeeshop and knows all the customers by name. she mentions them by name frequently. still, zuko has no idea what any of their names are, and gives them all mean nicknames instead. katara pretends to be very offended by this, but secretly loves it

katara stages a lot of protests. out of all her friends, aang is the only one to ever show up.

one day, katara complains to suki about li’s toned muscle and defined abs. suki’s like “..........isn’t that a good thing?” and katara’s just like “ugh i knew you wouldn’t understand.” suki agrees; she doesn’t.

katara has a cat named catara. she is white and fluffy with piercing blue eyes and the face of a little gargoyle. catara and sokka have an extremely contentious relationship. toph considers catara vermin. aang loves catara just as he loves every animal. zuko thinks catara is a perfect little angel. suki is confused as to why her friends all have such strong opinions on a cat...?

katara played hockey and soccer in high school. she was really, really good, but would often get detention for fighting with azula during practice.

katara once went on a couple dates with a guy named chad, and zuko thinks this is the height of comedy and has never let her live it down.

#katara #modern au #btw guys we have a whole modern au tag #an entire extended universe even #asks #anon
