First of all thank you for answering my question. My critic wasn't for anyone kissing someone BEFORE they have their soulmate In this case Sokka already HAS SOMEONE on his life which amounts to betrayal and cheating. I am also appalled that You reacted like that now to a question :(

I'm sorry you're appalled. Sokka has someone absolutely, he has someone who treated him with scorn and disdain at every meeting. When Sokka meets a girl who actually talks to him as an equal, he latches on BRIEFLY. That isn't betrayal, that isn't cheating. Sokka and Azula were betrothed but they weren't in love. You can say whatever you want but at the end of the day it's my story and we have fundamentally different views of what cheating is. You can't cheat on someone you aren't romantically engaged with. So so very sorry that my story and my response has upset you;)

And also, who gives a shit if Sokka kissed a girl before he got married lol. Is your opinion people must remain pure for their one true love? It's uhhhh a big ask.

I really liked your arranged marriage au except for the part were you made sokka cheat Can I ask why you did that? Skipping that part and the one shot would ve perfectly fine without that factor SOKKLA

Hello, I've ignored your reviews for quite some time, you've posted similar comments on my fics as well as numerous other authors fics. I don't know if you're aware but the world isn't a fairytale. I am not marrying the first person I kissed. People don't do that. Sokka was a young teenage and KISSED Suki.

At that point in my story, his betrothed, Azula had shown literally no affection or interest in him. From Sokka's mind he was attempting to see what romance was like with someone else before he was forced into a marriage that he thought might not work out because of their two nations.

Look, the world isn't black and white. In an ideal world we'd have soulmates and everyone would marry the first person they loved and kissed and slept with. That ain't life. If you want to write something like that go ahead. It's not that I'm against that it just ISN"T HOW THE WORLD WORKS.

Hello, my good friend Seyary has answered it all. There will be no further questions. 

This is Embarassing

18 percent of fics in the Sokkla tag are sexually explicit content. 19 percent of fics are tagged with sexually explicit content in the Kataang, Maiko, and Zutara tags combined. Maiko is the smallest of those ships, and is over seven times larger than Sokkla.(source: ao3)

Yesterday, I had a conversation with @bisexual-azula​ regarding the hypersexualization of Sokka and Azula and the racism in Sokkla tropes as well. I see who likes my Sokkla posts. Of my average audience, one person liked it. No one reblogged, and not a single person had anything to say.

This fandom is great. Sokkla is great. But like any other ships, there are terrible and problematic tropes commonly used within it and the ratio of NSFW fics is not normal. I made a post about wanting to grow our community, I wanted to make this post because when you’re on the internet, it is so easy not to listen. But when someone asks me what my otp is and they look up sokkla and find nsfw images first thing, and the phrase “sokka x azula lemon” comes up before “sokka x azula” it’s worrying.

Age up whoever you want, write about whatever you want. But at the end of the day. Sokka and Azula are children. That is what they were presented as, and many of you saw that and got the idea to write nsfw stories that often have racist undertones. 

Azula is not your femme fatale man eating sex goddess. She is a smart, beautiful, funny girl who had to suffer abuse and being made into a child soldier.

Sokka is not your beastly woman ravaging sex god. He’s a comedic, also smart, teenage boy.

Enough.

Bella raises a ton of really important points. Azula X Therapy has been a super weird thing that I’ve seen people use as a bludgeon and weapon against others. It’s particularly important to me as it is related to my own relationship with my girlfriend and if she read some of the things that people say it would legit break her heart. So seriously stop using it and think about what you’re saying. 

Confession Time

TW: For talks of mental illness as well as a mention of suicide.

This has actually been on my mind for quite a while but I was worried about how it would be taken. However this has actually come up several times in the Azula tag now so I might as well talk about it. And before I get to the point I just want to say that I’m very much open to respectful discussion. Please don’t rip me apart over this. 

So here we go; Azula/Therapy makes me rather uncomfortable.

In honor of my good friend Seyary and her story reaching 200!?!?!?! chapters. Gonna do this fun little survey about Gladiator:) 

If you haven’t read it yet, and love Sokkla get on it!. If you also just love well written stories, you should check it out too:) youll end up being a hardcore Sokkla shipper XD

Favorite Character: I love so many of the characters, so this is hard, obviously. While I love Azula a ton... I have to go with Sokka here:D

Least Favorite Character (one who’s constantly there): I don’t have a least favorite character. I think many fit the story. In terms of disdain though, I do and always will hate HahnXD

Favorite “Antagonist”: Ozai is just so human and yet so evil. It has to be him. 

Favorite OC: There’s really no debate here. It’s Rui Shi.

Favorite Gladiator: Gonna not include Toph or Sokka because those are the obvious ones. I enjoy the Light Bearer as well as Millennium Dragon quite a bit. 

Favorite Suitor or a Suitor I wished would make moves on Azula: I mean I want no one putting moves on Azula. I don’t want them to die:DDDD 

Most Relatable Character: I’ve always identified with Sokka, your characterization does nothing to change that. 

Character I’d like to see more: I mean, it’s hard it is very Sokkla focused. But everyonce in a while I’m like gimme that Aang. 

Favorite Canon (Gladiator canon)Pairing: I mean, i’ve got an OTP and this has provided so much of what I love XDDDDDD Sokkla for life.

Favorite Non-Canon Pairing: Rui Shi and Song is great. I love the budding Kataang as well. But for me so far its been the Zuki:) 

Favorite Arc: Hmmmm! Well I can’t say exactly. I love whaletail despite it’s lack of action:DDDDD Just the end of that Arc is so charged and emotional and fantastic. I really liked the Rough Rhino’s Arc. A couple things I can’t divulge that I love:DDDDDD and of course I mean Giving In ;)

Favorite Place/Location: Whenever they are just happy in Shu Jing XDDDD

Part 1 or Part 2?:Hmmmm. This is another hard one. They are both so very different. Part 2 isn’t quite finished yet;) Although I lean Part 2:DDDD

I wished to see Sokkla more in/like … : Everything?!?!?!?!?! Just being happy:D

Guessing Game:

Finish the following sentences:

I think Azula & Sokka’s relationship will be revealed when/like/because of ... It’s quite simple, Azula just has to declare her love publicly and Ozai will have a heart attack clearing her way to ascend to the Fire Throne XD

I believe at the end of Part 3 … Things will be good... right?!XD

Not an ask, just wanted to say happy new year and hope your holidays were great! Thanks for all the enjoyment you've provided to the Sokkla community with your amazing works. They were one of my highlights of 2020 and Sokkla in general is what helped me get through the year. 💜

Yooooo! It warms my heart to hear that. 2020 was a rough year for so many, and I’m so happy to know that my stories helped even just a little bit. That literally makes it all freaking worth it! My holidays were about as good as they can be with all the covid madness, wish I could have seen family, but it wasn’t really possible.  I am so happy you enjoy my works so much. I’m sorry I’ve slowed down a bit, but I’ve got big stuff in the works:D I’m so glad you’ve joined the Sokkla Community as I have. #themadmanandhisbox #thankyousomuch

[deaddirector]

And so this year comes to an end / New one just starts to risk first peek / May it gift kindness we can spend / And hold up love we need and seek --- A rough year comes to an end and an especially hard one for me in the end so unlike my usual habit I've only crafted this line for all who I've gifted my lines throughout this year. May the new one hold up much luck and sunshine for you. Have a wonderful day *Hugs*

Oh I missed this. Thank you so much for the poetry anon:) I hope your next year feels better. I’m very sorry that your last year was so rough. Here’s to all of us feeling much better in 2021!  #anonymous

I've been reading (slowly) through your Sokkla Saturday's ... really enjoying them! Really loved your AU for chapter 3 (which is where I'm up to). As per your AN, would you ever want to flesh it out into a longer fic?

I’m so glad you enjoyed them. I’ll be one hundred percent honest, that AU is probably the thing I enjoyed the most writing, there is a 100 percent chance I come back to it. Once I finish up War and Laughter which has about 10 chapters left, I’ll be starting work on fleshing out that AU into a whole story. I plan on making it much longer and epic in scope and I gotta say I’m super excited for it:D 

I’m super glad you enjoyed it!

Anyone ever just be writing scene between their two favorite characters and they are just being all adorable and shit and then three pages later it just has become smut even though you TOTALLY DIDNT MEAN FOR IT TO HAPPEN IN YOUR OUTLINE?!?!

Just me? Surely it can’t be just me.

Hey everybody, here’s the promised final entry for Sokkla Saturdays. Like I said, this has been just such an absolute joy to participate in. I hope you’ve had half as much fun reading as I’ve had writing. Take it sleazy everyone:D

[deaddirector]

I’m so happy and proud to have participated in Sokkla Saturdays this year. This community has been nothing but supportive and kind to me since I started following and writing my own fics. It’s been a true joy to read everyone’s stories this year and I can only hope we’ve served to inspire more people to pick up this ship that we all love so much. 

To all of you that have read my fics and especially those who have given feedback, thank you so much for everything. Your words of praise and support have meant so much to me, from being unsure if I should ever write, to now never wanting to stop!

My final entry will be up in a couple hours or sooner:D

[deaddirector]

Hey everyone! I’m back at it again after a one week break. I chose “Reuniting after a long time” for this week and I was honestly quite happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you think. I also posted it on ff.net but honestly that website is dead to me right now XD 

Hope everyone’s been doing good and keeping safe:) 

[deaddirector]

Here is my most recent post for Sokkla Saturdays. FF.net has been awful lately, so I did try and post it yesterday but failed. Here it is now, and hopefully it actually shows up. It’s a Westeros AU with Azula as (what else) a Targaryen and Sokka taking the place of one of our favorite northern bastards... Hope you enjoy!

some days I remember that Game of Thrones had an entire thing called “The Long Night” and it lasted one episode.
