the gaang have a lazy and silly game of pressing stuff against toph’s feet and getting her to guess what it is. sokka started it, forgetting that toph can only ‘see’ earth, but the game stuck
suki swears a lot more than anyone expects her to. more than sokka does, because he’s been brought up to believe that you shouldn’t swear in front of women. he was also taught that women themselves don’t swear, so she often plays it up just to make him squirm
while mai never has any desire to reconnect with azula, ty lee thinks about her a lot and sometimes visits her. azula wouldn’t be pleased to see her at first, but ty lee has an unfailing niceness that means she weathers coldness well. over time, she’d be one of a few people who helped azula get to a better place
toph is the chief of getting stones out of people’s shoes on long walks. she uses this as more evidence for why shoes suck
zuko is queer but doesn’t realise it for quite a long time because it never even seemed like an option to him. aang probably mentions something completely offhand about a gay monk he knew way back when and zuko is like ‘wait. that’s a thing?’, which sparks a long and weird process of him re-analysing his past relationships with dudes. jet comes up a lot.

sokka occasionally just sits and watches the moon when he can’t sleep. sometimes he gets the sense that yuey is watching back, especially on a full moon, but he always dismisses the thought
