#can u tell people of earth is living rent free in my brain
Text
what if i throw away the entire plot i have and instead write about a sci-fi workplace comedy instead
#the Current plot is a sci-fi coming of age story but it's annoyingly grimdark#and i wanna write something I'll actually enjoy#but a collection of tropes unfortunately unfortunately. does not maketh a plot#can u tell people of earth is living rent free in my brain#that and piranesi are my favorite works this year and i really want to write something that captures the same Bizarre vibe#but also im getting sick of sci-fi... sci-fi is just real life but fancier and less boring. i wanna write about magic systems and dragons#workplace comedy but with dragons#altho that might just be d&d.#i m just#Annoyed cause i had a WHOLE plot almost and im so bad at those#and i liked it!#but i dont wanna write it if its not going to have Any humor#and like i can add humor but idk if that fits the general vibe#altho. i did find a scrap of writing from like a year ago that had a similar plot but with dark humor#and that was both fun to write AND fun to read so i could somehow integrate that into my story but. it was full of nonsense characters#but maybe nonsense characters are FUN#idk i hate this#i cant do shit without deadlines#which is why nanowrimo is great but then there's Pressure with it#i wanna be prolific sooo badly#i hate sitting around#and like jan 2021 i wrote 50000+ words#(once again because of external validation. there was a contest and the more you wrote the more entries you got to win stuff.#i unfortunately did not win but i did improve SO much#and also i had like twice as many works as other people#)#every day i do nothing but ramble#wish i could like. convince someone to mail me a treat every 10000 words#that would be incredibly motivating#and like i could do that to myself but my brain does this thing where I Cannot delay gratification

do you.. have any old man sokka hcs. particularly if they're zukka. because i can't stop thinking about grandpa sokka he lives in my head rent-free
oh my god i’m going to scream i had literally all of this written out and then accidentally typed ctrl+r and reloaded the page :sob: so when this takes me another like day and a half to post that’s why. anyway i love old people hcs bc like.. god i wish that were me. also this is a yue lives au bc i love her too much (and?? suki and sokka lives au i guess????)(also zuko isn’t fire lord.. they’re some kind of democracy) (also also by old man this is like.. 60s i think)
zuko and sokka are those old people who have like seven houses and travel between them with like... minimal notice to their friends, family, and half-dozen government leaders who they unofficially advise. whenever someone has something important to tell them they need to send a half-dozen hawks to every different house. izumi somehow always knows where her dads are
sokka keeps all the paintings he makes in a room in his house in the fire nation and he and katara went through it one day and started crying together about the evolution of his art- both about how his level of skill improved and about how the art showed the rebuilding of the world
sokka and suki and zuko and yue have a secret beach house in the earth kingdom and they all plan to live there together when suki and yue retire. in the meantime they all gather there for a few weekends every year and talk about how they should really all retire. and then they don’t.
(eventually yue finds some young community leader to be the new nwt chief and suki passes the torch of being the leader of the kyoshi warriors off and sokka and zuko just. stop taking earth king kuei’s calls and they do retire to that beach house and spend the rest of their lives lounging around)
@kyoshi-lesbians talked about gay slang in the atla universe and my favorite from that list was calling old gay couples penguin seals and old sokka would LOVE that slang
he first hears it at a white lotus meeting when iroh teases jeong jeong and piandao about how awful their tea is (are you saying that a pair of penguin seals in their fifties can’t make a decent pot of anise tea?) and sokka is like :0 i’m in love with that slang i know me and my husband are both only 27 but i will save this in my brain and once he turns 50 and decides he’s old enough he is THRILLED and never shuts up
the cool grand-uncle to the airbender kids. he always brings them treats from wherever he and zuko travel (they swoop into tenzin’s house and sokka has a box of candies and zuko has like, an investment into tenzin and pema’s retirement fund asjfksldj) so the kids love him. tenzin likes it.. less because the kids are a handful even when they haven’t had a bazillion caramels. he loves his uncles tho and they have good conversations about international relations
sokka’s leg injury starts to act up again when he gets older and so he starts using a cane. at a huge gaang family dinner he shows up with like. a stick he found in the woods. toph is like damn socks i could do better than that and i’m a blind 50 year old and zuko’s like hm well i could do even better than you and it becomes a whole thing with all of sokka’s family. (kya wins because she made hers out of a light enough material that sokka can bonk his sister over the head with it without hurting her)
he also does a lot of work with his sister and yue toward making the two tribes more accessible both to nonbenders and disabled people!! he and zuko also petition the fire nation and earth kingdom about similar initiatives but it’s a lot more slow-going because he’s not like, related to the leaders.
he’s the cool uncle but he is NOT the hip uncle. he could be the hip uncle but he only uses slang from like.. literally before he was born because like half his friends were old when he was young and he is no longer young. also he invented like half the technology currently in use but he still pretends not to understand how to use it just to drive izumi insane
zuko is perpetually graying (he somehow always has dark hair and gray temples) but sokka basically woke up one morning with completely white hair. he loves it bc it makes him look even more like a mad scientist
i hope these r kinda what u were looking for!! ajskldfsjd lok was so wrong and sokka deserved to be an old man
