there are only so many world leaders, right? and they’re all beholden to sokka in some major way…
the avatar: will be 35 years old and still have a pavlovian response to sokka saying “all right everyone, time for bed!”
the firelord: so ride or die it’s honestly concerning
the earth king: owes to sokka his newfound knowledge of basic critical thinking skills
chief of the northern water tribe: his daughter seemed to think he was pretty dope before she turned into the moon
chief of the southern water tribe: thinks her brother is an idiot but has good ideas sometimes, and appreciates the fact that he doesn’t care whether or not he gets credit for them as long as they’re implemented
not to mention that toph is basically a one-woman weapon of mass destruction who does not listen to anyone—with the crucial exception of one person—and guess who that is!
and he’s basically an honorary member of the white lotus???
basically what I’m saying is sokka secretly rules the world
Sokka knows this and has begun using this information to fuck with random snobby nobles/push through random legislation
Sokka: So I’m thinking we make today national cabbage day in honor of all the cabbages lost in the fight against Ozai
Aang, a walking “eat your vegetables” PSA who is genuinely delighted by this idea: Sounds good to me!
Katara, humoring her brother: I suppose this would emphasize the importance of a balanced diet.
Zuko who thinks it’s a stupid idea but loves and supports Sokka in all his decisions: I trust your judgement Sokka. If you think this is a good idea, the fire nation is behind you.
Arnook who has no clue what is going on but doesn’t have enough of a background or a strong enough opinon on this topic to say no: If the other leaders think it is prudent.
The Earth King who honestly is just vibing: Yeah I like cabbages
Suki, knowing Sokka’s habit of making jokes at official meetings and wanting to call him on his bluff: Kyoshi had tremendous respect for farmers and those who produce, gather, and process our food.The Kyoshi Warriors will support this holiday.
Toph, who is about to get this stupid ass holiday passed because she knows Sokka is not bluffing and wants to see the fallout when the others realize it: Yeah I’m down. How many cabbages do we need for this? I can get us a couple thousand right now if you want.
new headcanon this is how Asami’s granddad went from Inadvertently Persecuted Man With Cart to titan of industry
