i spent 3 and a half hours on this shitpost because i physically could not do anything until i painstakingly recreated one of the most unoriginal meme formats on earth
I want to remind everyone that at some point bffs zuko and sokka were both ruling countries in their mid-20s and they probably had to go to a lot of important international meetings…but all they do is whisper dumb jokes to each other
honestly? the definition of a power couple (also on twitter / instagram)
Zuko has the Perry Platypus effect but it’s based on how he wears his hair. When he wears it in an updo, he’s the respected and honorable Fire Lord Zuko of the Fire Nation. Once he lets his hair down though, he is unrecognizable as the leader of a whole country and becomes Lee with The Good Tea.
It’s led to some fun moments in the palace where Zuko is relaxing by the turtleduck pond and some ambassador finds him and exclaims “What’s Lee from the Tea Shop Doing Here?!” then Zuko puts his hair up real quick and the ambassador goes “Firelord Zuko?!”
Zuko will be visiting Uncle Iroh at the shop and helping out with his hair in a topknot and customers are like “Firelord Zuko! What are you doing working in a tea shop?” then he lets his hair down and they go “Oh, it’s Lee! How’s it going?! Where have you been these past months?”
This happens every time without fail. This is also the reason why people are confused about which man Sokka from the Southern Water Tribe is actually dating. He has been spotted with both Lee With The Good Tea and Firelord Zuko, people are making bets. There might already be a theater production in place about this intense love triangle.
People are out of their minds because they’re fighting on who the best couple is.
the play has a rabid fanbase who start intense debates over which of them sokka should end up with. sokka/blue spirit stans are the most dedicated
