Zuko: Sokka I still can't believe master Piandao trained you. Did you get to make your own sword as well?

Sokka: yes I did! At first I was scared it wouldn't work, but I'm glad he allowed me to use the meteorite for it!

Zuko: ... i'm sorry did you say meteorite?

Toph: it was such a coincidence running into your uncle in ba sing se.

Zuko: yea, it was very weird for him being back, y'know, since he kinda laid a 100 day seige on the city a few years prior

Usually there’s some interest when I bring this up, but this kid sort of sat with that for a couple minutes, expression settling into a thousand yard stare. Just as I was wondering if something was wrong, he looked at me with his haunted eyes and asked, in a tone of resignation: “When are the tigers coming?”

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know.
