I don't own Avatar: The Legend of Aang. If I did, I'd be too busy to write this.
Sokka Complaining
Hey – you know what?
Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway:
Some people can be stupid.
Now when I say stupid, I mean stupid. Not just your average, I-don't-get-it type of stupid – oh, no. What I'm talking about here is the kind of foolish, misguided optimism that gets you into every kind of trouble.
Take my sister, for example. After all, she is a perfect example to use; she's pretty, outgoing, sweet (most of the time), and – intellectually speaking – relatively smart (let's be kind and not judge her by my standards, okay?). So how does she manage to get into sticky situations everywhere she goes?
I'll tell you how: Optimism. That's right. Optimism.
"Hey, Sokka, I'm gonna steal myself an expensive waterbending scroll that Aang's just drawn attention to, okay? Oh, don't be silly, it'll turn out fine! Why? Well – well, because it will!"
…And then we go and get captured by pirates. Big surprise.
"Hey, Sokka, let's go into that big, creepy, cursed cave! What? Oh, don't be silly – what could possibly go wrong?"
…And then, what a surprise, we get trapped there with several large unfriendly creatures and – worse – a group of nomads who come complete with their own musical backings.
"Hey, Sokka, I've got the best idea! I'm just gonna go smash that iceberg! Ha, ha, very funny, Sokka – it's just a load of ice with a creepy glowy-eyed kid inside! What's so bad about that? I mean, it's not like any angry, flame-toting, ponytail-bearing princes are gonna chase after us because of it!"
…Are we seeing a pattern here?
Now, I'm not saying Katara's a Bad Person – because she's not. She's all right, actually, as far as a sister can actually be 'all right'. She looks after me – if I do my bit once in a while, she'll even wash my socks. But my spirits, she is so very optimistic. I mean, it's almost nauseating; how can you carry on thinking that everything will always be fine when 1) The word's in mortal peril and 2) It never is.
It's even worse now she's got Aang to back her up. He agrees with everything she says, no question, which is absolutely not fair because it throws the whole idea of 'group voting' off-kilter completely – because apparently, Momo doesn't count.
Oh, and another thing – I always get the blame.
A/N: Thanks for reading some very incoherent nonsense!
I love to write Sokka, he's hilarious. Especially when he's complaining.
This kind of falls off a cliff at the end, but I needed to stop myself from rambling on too much.
Take care!
