Sokka: *can’t see his mother face*
Katara: *can’t stop seeing her mother’s face because Sokka is her exact imagine*
what was sokka’s relationship with his mother like? did she, like ursa with zuko, encourage him to feel safe transgressing gender norms? did she patiently coax him into talking out his problems, letting him know that it is safe and healthy to express himself? did she marvel at his drawings just as much as she did at his handcrafted fishhooks and harpoons? did she tell him stories from kanna’s childhood in the north pole, sparking sokka’s interest in other lands even before he knew she was talking about another land? did she read to him?
when he started to become a leader among the kids his age, did she take care to watch his mood to make sure he wasn’t burning out from the responsibility? when he devoted himself to protecting katara, did she make sure he knew that he was equally important? did she say it with enough conviction that he believed it in spite of the evidence to the contrary?
when she bandaged his scrapes, did she stop him from brimming with pride over the injury? did she make certain he understood that violence and defending others weren’t what made him strong?
when he lost her, did sokka try to keep her lessons in mind even as the mounting need for a strong military defense began to take over their village? what was it like the day sokka resolved in his mind that it wasn’t appropriate for a warrior to draw or read or feel?
@lesbians4sokka‘s post made me feel a lot of feelings on how Sokka’s grief was denied in “Southern Raiders”.
We all know that Sokka bears resemblance to his dad, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how much his mom looks so much like him in the flashback from the southern raiders?
It’s that concerned, reassuring, and yet somehow determined look. It’s one that only a true leader could bear. And this says a lot about Sokka’s own personality too as he develops into a leader and warrior throughout the show.

Baby Zuko: My parents had a baby! Mama kissed Daddy and the fairies told the stork! And the stork left a diamond under the fire lily petals! And the diamond turned into a baby!
Baby Sokka: My parents had a baby too. They had sex.
