You Bitches Keep Your Mouth Off Suki

[redbrunja]

Dear Avatar fandom,

The next time I find someone saying (via explicit text or via lyrics in a vid) that Suki is:

-a fling of Sokka's

-seduced him

-isn't worthy of him

-somehow did him wrong

-is not heart-wrenching important to him,

I will smack you with metal fans until the stupid bleeds out of you.

I do no care if you ship him with Toph. I do not care if you ship him with Yue. I do not care if you ship him with Ty Lee.

But fucking respect the relationship he has with Suki and stop trying to cheapen what is arguably the second most important female relationship in his entire life. (fyi, Katara is #1 in that category.)

No love,
redbruna

(People ship him with Yue? Why? From her first scene, she was obviously meant to be nothing more than the tragic first love to give him some angst along the way...)

Some of us thought his relationship with her was sweet and endearing and felt very natural. Others of us like the bittersweet element caused by said tragedy.

(Personally, I can't decide if I like Sokka/Suki or Sokka/Yue more. They come out pretty much even for me)

I like the maturity shown by the writers when dealing with both those relationships: i.e. that both Suki and Yue were mentioned as people he missed within two episodes of each other, while neither one was there.

Oh, I thought it made perfect sense in the story and definately had a degree of sweetness to it. It's just that where it was going was so obvious from the moment he spotted her that it turned off any ability I had to get invested(it pretty much followed the relationship trope, scene for scene. Which worked just fine and fit well for Sokka and his story, but was so obvious I was kinda counting off the scenes as they came, if that makes sense.)
