#but then sokka is like ‘well audiobooks are cheating. actually’

[comradekatara]

modern au katara reads books “for fun” that are “engaging” and “enjoyable” and sokka (big finnegan’s wake head) is like “weak. i only read books that exacerbate my suicidal tendencies”

#i too only ever want to read books i find enjoyable fwiw but because i find most pop lit unbearable i do sound like sokka to people #who do not understand that reading shakespeare to me is like comfort food #sokkas hobbies much like everything else are filled with self inflicted struggle and anguish #he only wants to read the densest least acceissble literature (fiction & nonfiction) he can get his hands on #if he’s not in pain when ostensibly reading for pleasure then something is WRONG #modern au #katara #sokka #katara&sokka #i do think katara is also a big reader though #she’ll read anything and everything #nonfiction romance sff ‘classics’ etc etc #but then sokka is like ‘well audiobooks are cheating. actually’ #and she throws a rock at his head killing him instantly #(he doesn’t even believe that bc he reads aloud to toph constantly he just wanted to provoke her into throwing a rock at his head.)
