#katara is emotionally explosive and lashes out and Sokka always kind of took it

[ssreeder]

happy april friend!! hope you're well. not gonna lie i live for the drama so this chapter was sooo great ah! as soon as general how showed up..... i knew shit was gonna go down. so good, man

'for the very first time in their life, she was afraid of him' holy MOLY my jaw was dropped for like 90% of that final interaction between sokka and katara. generally speaking, if one's reaction to being caught in a lie is to double down on their stance of not lying....not great. not a good look sokka. im glad katara got out of there to clear her head and go back to aang, but now i'm worried sokka's going to lose his mind and temper even more (is it possible?!?) once left and the realization of how he's treating everyone comes crashing down on him. because he doesn't want his sister or anyone to hate him or especially be scared of him. this one may hurt :(

and zuko being so certain that iroh wasn't real was so heartbreaking....i feel like being in and out of consciousness doesn't help wounds of the mental/emotional variety because memories are all weird so it's hard to make progress. hopefully katara works her healing magic so zuko can have actual conversations for a meaningful amount of time.

very excited for the next one obviously, but this was some good food!!!!! hope your upcoming week is swell. take care of yourself!!😠do a facemask or something. buy a tasty treat. you deserve it <3

General How: first decent military figure in LIAB.

*every time he shows up chaos ensues*

Sokka is such a mess right now its like pulling pet hair off a black shirt without a magic-fix-all lint roller. So he will probably do what he always does and blame himself and sink a little lower into his depression unfortunately. He did realize his mistake the moment the word left his lips but it was too late, the damage had been done.

Katara instigated the fight, but we are talking 14 & 16 year old trauma filled siblings who are used to bickering and probably didn’t expect it to escalade to this…. Sokka wasn’t going to budge the way he would normally when katara got upset and after she pushed a little too hard he snapped.

UGH Zuko haha…. Poor guy. Don’t worry Katara is going to do her best next chapter to help him & fingers crossed!

Thanks for the ask anon you’re amazing!

#ughhh sokkas situation is so difficult #because out of katara and Sokka he was the more passive one #katara is emotionally explosive and lashes out and Sokka always kind of took it #like in canon when she told him he didn’t love their mom the way she did #and he didn’t say anything #she never even apologized (I’m sure she did but she didn’t on screen) #& now katara is even MORE emotional but we have SOKKA who is…. also emotionally explosive #mixed with aggressive and trauma with women #(yeah Aras betrayal really fucked him up) #he is going to have to unlearn those habits #which will be hard #because Hakoda was JUST STARTING to try and help Sokka control his words and outbursts #then Zuko was taken and Sokka reallt spiraled after that lol #I think once Zuko is back with Sokka he can relax a bit? #it might calm him down so he can start being more open to healing #rather than worrying and missing Zuko constantly #their codependency is STRONG #it’s unhealthy but it’s also the only reason they survived #I know Zuko is probably fighting to stay alive so he can get back to Sokka #ok wow I rambled #sorry #thanks anon!! #liab #itf #ask
