I get that being frozen for 100 years is a tough thing to go through but honestly Aang should have used it for comedy more
Katara: wow so this is Omashu
Aang: back in my day it was called weed city
Sokka: I’m… pretty sure it wasn’t
Aang: that’s what the fire nation wants you to think
Bumi, the second they arrive: welcome to weed city
Sokka: what the fuck
Imagine them getting stuck in Ba Sing Se and Aang just being like, “I wonder if the sandal pit is still here.”
And everyone’s like, “The what?”
And he’s all, “The sandal pit. It’s where I buried all the sandals of people who were mean to me and my friends.”
Cut to the gaang walking around town, and Aang’s muttering about it being around here somewhere, when suddenly Toph stops and says, “There’s a big pile of sandals about fifty feet below that cobbler’s house,” and Sokka loses his mind.
This raises the question of whether Aang is telling the truth or if Toph and Bumi just happen to have the same sense of humor as him.
May I offer a third option into the mix:
It’s just sheer coincidence but it sends Aang hog fuckin’ wild
in the fire nation:
aang: i wonder if they still have the national fire burping competition?
sokka: okay now that’s definitely fake
after the war
zuko: you guys can’t go home you’ll miss the national fire burping competition!
sokka: you’re lying, you’re definitely lying
iroh: i won seven years in a row, until those cowards banned me
