@sokkaweek day 7: sokka alone (ID in alt text)

Brevity

For @sokkaweek day 3: Grief/Loss

Preview:

“They made a statue of her. In the square.”

“Is that so? I’m sure it’s beautiful.”

“It is.”

“What’s wrong, son?”

Sokka didn’t know how to articulate all the things wrong with a sixteen year old girl giving her life for an eternity old spirit just so the world could take the stupid circle in the night sky for granted. He couldn’t quite describe how cruel the universe was, to let put so much pressure on her, to make her life so hard, only to snatch it away from her before she could even live it.

“The world sucks, dad.”

Or, in the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka finds a statue of Yue and learns to find meaning in the brevity of their relationship

Words: 1809

Warnings/Notes: I know NOTHING about ephemeral art except basic research, so any symbolism I attempted probably either felt flat or heavy-handed. I drew most my inspiration from Néle Azevedo.

SOKKA ALONE || @sokkaweek day 7 (late submission) || “weighed down by a heart of stone, bound to a body of broken bones, fragile and feeling alone — but the whole story hasn’t been told”

days one through four & six for @sokkaweek

[I.D.: Five traditional uncolored sketches of Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender).

Image 1: A sketch of Sokka from the waist and up. He is holding a chemistry tube with his both hands, looking at it intently. In the background there is a canvas with the image of a tree painted on it, and a table with art supplies.

Image 2: A sketch of Sokka standing with his hands on his waist, surrounded by Aang, Katara, and Toph, who are sleeping. Sokka is looking at them affectionately.

Image 3: A sketch of Sokka and Yue from the waist and up. Sokka is hugging Yue with his eyes closed, Yue’s back facing the viewer. Behind them and surrounding half of their bodies is the moon.

Image 4: A sketch of Sokka from his shoulders and up wearing his Kyoshi make-up and uniform. He is smiling, and he wears triangle earrings. Over his shoulder reads the mark of the artist, ‘NSML 2021’.

Image 5: A sketch of Sokka from the waist and up. He is dressed in a hoodie and wears headphones, a backbag, and glasses. End I.D.]

I just rewatched episode 1:15 ‘Bato of the Water Tribe’ and noticed something really cool about the ‘ice’ dodging scenes.

Ice dodging is presented as an important cultural coming-of-age and Sokka passes their improvised version with flying colours. But he doesn’t stop when Bato tells him he has passed the traditional requirements. Instead he continues, making use of Aang and Katara’s bending to pass the more challenging obstacle.

It was just a really nice way of highlighting how Sokka is thinking beyond his past experiences, actively incorporating new skills and ideas into his plans.  It’s a huge part of his character and what makes him a good leader (and is part of the show’s whole theme about cooperation), and it shows through so clearly in just those few seconds.

This bit of analysis has been sitting in my drafts for almost two years; @sokkaweek (day 7: free) seems like a good excuse to post it.

Sokka Week 2021 💙

Featuring Sokka appreciating how he looks in red and green ....and an Unagi mirror lol

[I.D: A digital illustration of Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender) in his Kyoshi Warrior uniform, from the shoulders and up. Sokka’s back is facing the viewer, and he’s looking himself in a golden mirror shaped as the Unagi. One of his hands seems to be tracing his own face, as if admiring his reflection with a soft look in his face. The two following images are the same illustration in different shades. End I.D.]

some belated older sokka sketches for @sokkaweek. not that i ever need an excuse to draw sokka of course

@sokkaweek Day 7: Free Day (also sort of loss/Grief)

---

You were too young for what he asked,

Hidden in the dark waters of the war

danger lurked beyond your understanding.

He asked you to protect and you did

with bright eyes that didn't see the truth.

A prodigy sister and an untrained Avatar

brought you across your war torn world.

They asked you to guide and you did

with instinct from lessons never taught.

She was cold and warm in equal measure

and you knew she was never yours to hold.

She asked you to release and you did

with burning rage at the unfairness of it all.

Your father was down and the battle waged

as the moon slowly closed in on the sun.

They asked you to lead and you did

with a boldness you never knew you had.

You were dangling high above cold waters,

a friend's hand slipping from your grasp.

They asked you to die but you lived

with a breath of resistance in your lungs.

After the war the children played again

under your father's watchful, smiling eyes.

He asked you to join but you couldn't

with a sorrowful regret you replied,

You were too old for what he asked.

No hate to Hakoda meant but intentionally or not, Sokka felt a lot of pressure to live up to his dad's perceived standards. Most was self inflicted but still.
