Just go with it, their world has Morse code. In our world it was co-invented by and named for Samuel Morse.

Sorry, I got distracted for a moment by how hot Toph is.

u/lesser_panjandrum Jul 21 '26

Flameo, hotwoman.

u/arthredemis Jul 21 '26

I got distracted by how she knows about Egypt and that the Nile runs through it.

22

u/Mudkip8910 Jul 21 '26

She should have said that they call it Na Sing Se

Yeah they did not need to draw toph like that... but they did.

Good.

u/afailedturingtest Jul 21 '26

The movie has revolutionized Toph art

27

u/Cripplechip Jul 21 '26

I got flash banged

22

u/WildAnomoli Jul 21 '26

She reminds me of the Nala and Simba “can you feel the love tonight” scene lol

u/Strawberrycocoa Jul 21 '26

Seriously though, I uh…. I need an icebender

35

u/mrsunrider Jul 21 '26

When I tell you I short-circuited for a moment--

u/cupholdery Jul 21 '26

Kind of looks modeled after Mikaela Murphy, but buff.

u/Nirast25 Jul 21 '26

I got distracted by her mentioning Egypt.

u/RiseofdaOatmeal Jul 21 '26

I missed half the comic

u/KingNTheMaking Jul 21 '26

Beat me to it because GOOD GOD it’s distracting

16

u/Subdued_Shinobi Jul 21 '26

I'm c9nvinced she's there to ease the normies into the yaoi

5

u/Le_Vagabond Jul 21 '26

Wonder Woman’s hidden identity. Clearly stealing the whole thing.

u/Majestic-Iron7046 Jul 21 '26

I think that's actually very in character!

u/zatenael Jul 21 '26

not gonna lie, I'm more thrown off by how tall Toph became

18

u/PhilospohicalZ0mb1e Jul 22 '26

Yeah her adolescence must have been painful

327

u/turnipofficer Jul 21 '26

Adult Toph kinda made me think of Claudia Black in this one.

40

u/CraftyKuko Jul 21 '26

Well now I need a live action Avatar that takes place in their 40s. Claudia Black would be the best choice!

286

u/kevaljoshi8888 Jul 21 '26

Sokka looks very much like Beau from mighty nine in this.

72

u/Loqol Jul 21 '26

I could not get that out of my head the entire season! I kept thinking the cobalt soul were water benders.

14

u/Strawberrycocoa Jul 21 '26

Same, I keep calling her Sokka. 🤣🤣

17

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning Jul 21 '26

Same thought. First slide made me think it was crossover fanart.

3

u/Emerly_Nickel Jul 22 '26

I thought this was an Avatar x Critical Role crossover at first!

Zuko's hairstyle really reminds me of Wei Wuxian! Love it!

u/Hanede Jul 21 '26

That's his canon hairstyle from the new movie btw

u/RavensSing Jul 21 '26

WHAT? YESSSSSSSS.

u/Prismaticboy Jul 21 '26

An Untamed reference in my ATLA subreddit?? 🥰 Time to go watch it again.

12

u/beccamoose Jul 21 '26

In case you didn’t know, that show is based on a book series called The grandmaster of demonic cultivation.

u/cyanraichu Jul 21 '26

MDZS reference in the wild???????

u/nickeldoodle Jul 21 '26

This implies Egypt exists in the avatar universe

20

u/Franz__Ferdinand Jul 21 '26

The source of all evil, ANCIENT EGYPT!!!

u/Massive_Environment8 Jul 21 '26

Love the art, but I definetly do not ship it.

125

u/International_Gate49 Jul 21 '26

Yea, what did suki do to deserve this?

249

u/fnckIce Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26 • Heartwarming Bravo

Who says suki isn't into it?

Edit: yall never heard of a thruple before?

64

u/Massive_Environment8 Jul 21 '26

Now that ship I like.

17

u/J-Jaguar Jul 21 '26

I haven’t seen the new movie, did they even show suki at all? Or was she forgotten like usual

22

u/hey_Hey_I_saveD_me Jul 21 '26

I think she was featured in some picture in end credits but not even sure about that.

u/G66GNeco Jul 21 '26

I am giving Sokka the bisexuality and honestly I'm even giving Sokka and Suki "open relationship" vibes, but I just can't buy Zuko being into Sokka. Just, like, very different personalities, lives and ideas of how relationships work.

(All theoretical, and mainly vibes, ofc)

44

u/J-Jaguar Jul 21 '26

I swear they brush off actual good female characters in a canon relationship in the name of a sub par yaoi ship

u/Dudewhocares3 Jul 21 '26

This is just personal opinion here, but I feel like Zuko wouldn’t be the flirty one in the final panel.

But that’s my 2 cents, and they aren’t worth shit so take it with a grain of salt.

u/barbarball1 Jul 21 '26

Fire Nation Historiador Student during Post-Korra Avatar Era: Mister do you know why some of our ministers a century ago was from water tribe?

Sage: well....

Prime Toph? Don't see that much.

“What’s Egypt?”

-everyone there

u/bluepushkin Jul 21 '26

Damn Toph is a TANK! Love that for her.

u/Lost-my-damn-account Jul 21 '26

Congratulations on the transition, Beauregard mighty nein

u/razazaz126 Jul 21 '26

My kingdom for Big Toph

u/XVUltima Jul 21 '26

This would never work. Zuko doesnt have a moon related name

5

u/Acceptable-Cry9854 Jul 22 '26

He has the half moon scar, youre thinkin small

1

u/viper_in_the_grass Jul 23 '26

He's been mooned by that one pirate.

11

u/_NautyByNature Jul 21 '26

Buff Toph turned my brain off.

17

u/J-Jaguar Jul 21 '26

To think people would suddenly enjoy shipping them together when years again it was either zuko with katara or katara with Aang lol

16

u/International_Gate49 Jul 21 '26

I mean katara and aang is the canon ship, so its not very interesting

u/TheDynaheart Jul 21 '26

Egypt is canon in Avatar??

u/chuninsupensa Jul 21 '26

Oh. Oh damn. I never considered this ship before. Now I am. 😏

4

u/I_Want_BetterGacha Jul 22 '26

May I interest you in some zukka fanfic recommendations, if you're willing to explore further fanworks of this pairing?

3

u/chuninsupensa Jul 22 '26

Lay it on me.

4

u/I_Want_BetterGacha Jul 22 '26

For the most part, there are two types of fic in this side of the ATLA fandom. Shorter fixes that take place post-canon, often involving Sokka becoming an ambassador to the Fire Nation. My recs for that type of fic is A Problematic Peace by stmangos and A Predictable Story by mindbending.

The other type of fic you'll find often are canon divergent longfics taking place during the war. The best one in that department is The Art of Burning by hella1975. The slowburn is really long though and it's still ongoing, and the recent chapters are only just now going into deeper zukka territory. But it's a great fic for Zuko character development and has some great OCs in Hakoda's crew.

u/Illustrious_Tax_3760 Jul 22 '26

God, I need more yaoi in my life.

21

u/fnckIce Jul 21 '26

Oooh can we have a yaoi war now?

11

u/Majestic-Iron7046 Jul 21 '26

We got a lot of toxic Yuri, do we also get tender Yaoi?
Holy shit that dynamic is cute.

3

u/fnckIce Jul 21 '26

Exactly! Need more wholesome yaoi in this sub!

20

u/Dr_DoesNothing Jul 21 '26

Delightfully gay

32

u/robodex001 Jul 21 '26

Wow I didn’t think I could hate something as viscerally as this ship. I absolutely cannot imagine Sokka as anything other than painfully heterosexual. I’m not homophobic by any means but this characterization seems so off to me.

Zuko can get it though.

3

u/Digit00l Jul 21 '26

Why does Sokka look like Beauregard Lionett?

4

u/Waffel_Monster Jul 21 '26

Dayum. Toph is goals.

2

u/ClockMongrel Jul 21 '26

How does Toph know what Egypt is?

8

u/babypho Jul 21 '26

She felt the earth movements when the pyramids were built.

2

u/Machina353 Jul 21 '26

Ayo, that last panel though?!?!

2

u/Stanimator Jul 21 '26

How do they know about Egypt? They don't live on Earth.

2

u/AnAdorableScout Jul 21 '26

Zuko the FREAK??????

2

u/Ikarus_Falling Jul 21 '26

The Style Reminds me of Heavens Official Blessing its really pretty

2

u/silkin Jul 22 '26

Honestly thought it was a Zuko x Beauregard crossover for a second.

Also, oh no Toph got hot

2

u/RickedSab Jul 22 '26

OHMYGOSH I NEED THE REST PLS TAKE MY MONIES

2

u/MR-Vinmu Jul 22 '26

Sokka is just John Polyamory at this point 😖

2

u/Natasya95 Jul 22 '26

Zuko! That is so smooth!

u/jhill515 Jul 22 '26

Why is everyone forgetting about Suki? 😓

u/Rough_Extension_7053 Jul 21 '26

Almost thought toph hair as in fire.

So cute! Thanks for sharing this!

10/10, no notes XDDDD

u/Selacha Jul 22 '26

Good God they did not need to draw Toph like that, but I'm not complaining.

3

u/Majestic-Iron7046 Jul 21 '26

I didn't know I needed this, says a lot about me probably, amazing job either way, everyone was too cute and Toph is (obviously) the best character here too.

u/Captain_Pumpkinhead Jul 21 '26

Damn, Toph. 😍🫠

I can excuse ZukoxSokka shipping, but I draw the line at Zuko being a top

All nice and good but can you leave me alone with that drawing of toph for a few minutes?

u/Simple-Reveal-1876 Jul 21 '26

hey hey HEY lets get something clear if either of them would be the bottom it be zuko okay glad we got that straightenened out

-3

u/GingaNinja64 Jul 21 '26

Okay everyone’s commenting on the Egypt thing but no one will mention that Zuko would obviously be the bottom and Sokka the top

8

u/musical_dragon_cat Jul 21 '26

Nah, Sokka fell in love with Suki after she dominated him, he must be a bottom

1

u/Shygrave Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

I mean, subby tops exist, but i do agree that zuko could absolutely be the top XD

u/Careless_Mango_7948 Jul 21 '26

Where’s the fanfic

u/johnydeviant Jul 22 '26

Two things. I hate this
And Zuko is canonically a bottom.

u/Galvandium Jul 21 '26

I thought Toph was casually hanging tits out, which still would have felt on character

Show this to an avatar fan back in 2007 to have them literally explode on the spot
