anyways i kind of think buck and eddie are at this strange place where they're both afraid of losing each other but in totally different ways. eddie loves buck and sees them as forever already. but he's stuck in this place of only asking for a level of companionship from buck that he thinks is safe and won't jeopardize that forever. buck will always be in his life and he's willing to be a little lonely for that to be the case. meanwhile, buck loves eddie but can't see how that could last. and that's not really about eddie, it's just about how for buck nothing lasts. people leave no matter how much he loves them or how devoted he is. and now he doesn't even trust his own body to keep him alive. buck can't see how eddie could be there for the rest of his life. buck isn't even sure if he believes there is a rest of his life.
basically, they're standing on a shaky floor. eddie thinks the foundation will hold so long as he doesn't move. buck is just waiting for the floor to fall out from under him. neither of them realize there's a way out if they just look for it together.

Cultural Anatomy: Sokka’s Choker
From what I’ve researched, chokers were traditionally worn by some Native American tribes rather than by the Inuit, who traditionally preferred looser fitting necklaces. But Sokka’s particular choker is identical to traditional Alaskan Inuit bracelets, which are made from walrus or whale ivory.
Which means that Sokka might just be wearing a bracelet as a choker. And I can’t think of anything more perfectly Sokka than using an item for something beyond its intended purpose. I can totally imagine how the whole thing started:
Mother Kya: “One day, when Katara gets married, I’ll give her this necklace that Gran-Gran gave to me.”
Lil Sokka: “No fair! Why don’t I get anything?”
Hakoda: “Sokka, this necklace is for girls only.”
Lil Sokka: “Fine, I’ll just make my own necklace.” *ties his bracelet around his neck and immediately starts choking*
Gran-Gran: *sighs* I’ll get more string…
A variation: it’s actually Hakoda’s bracelet!
He’s upset that it keeps sliding over his hand, so he has the bright idea to untie cords and retie it as a necklace (being as he is Lil Sokka, the sizing works out so that it - mostly - fits).
Periodically he rethreads it with an extra segment so it keeps fitting.
YES! This is my new headcanon. Wanting to pass on an heirloom to his son with as much weight and meaning to it as the betrothal necklace, Hakoda gives Sokka his bracelet made of the bones of his greatest hunts.
Sokka’s determination to be a great hunter is partially motivated by his desire to add more segments to the bracelet/necklace, because he wants to symbolically and literally continue his father’s legacy.
This is a fantastic headcanon. It holds so many layers of meaning: the connection to Katara’s necklace, Sokka’s identity, and Hakoda’s legacy. Especially since, during Hakoda’s absence, Sokka and Katara had no way of knowing if he was alive or not. And the idea of Sokka adding more bones to the necklace as he grows older is amazing.
“which are made from walrus or whale ivory.“
The thing about walrus hunting is that it’s a two-person job, so I can’t see Sokka adding more segments during Hakoda’s absence. Thus, I can see Sokka adding his first original segment post-war, perhaps during the first whale or walrus hunt. It gets better when you realize that would be his first time hunting alongside the men (and most likely women) of his tribe.
About walrus hunting:
In Uqalurait: An Oral History of Nunavut, an Inuit elder describes the hunt of a walrus in these words: “When a walrus was sighted, the two hunters would run to get close to it and at a short distance it is necessary to stop when the walrus’s head was submerged… the walrus would hear you approach. [They] then tried to get in front of the walrus and it was harpooned while its head was submerged. In the meantime, the other person would drive the harpoon into the ice through the harpoon loop to secure it.”
Walrus hunting was too dangerous (particularly during the summer) to be done alone, so it was a two-person job.
The Avatar-world equivalent to that would probably be walrus-whale hunts. I was going to say, “Can you imagine?” or “Someone should draw that!”, but a quick Google search revealed that walrus-whales were apparently once a real thing:
