Katara: wow so this is Omashu

Aang: back in my day it was called weed city

Sokka: I’m… pretty sure it wasn’t

Aang: that’s what the fire nation wants you to think

Bumi, the second they arrive: welcome to weed city

Sokka: what the fuck

Imagine them getting stuck in Ba Sing Se and Aang just being like, “I wonder if the sandal pit is still here.”

And everyone’s like, “The what?”

And he’s all, “The sandal pit. It’s where I buried all the sandals of people who were mean to me and my friends.”

Cut to the gaang walking around town, and Aang’s muttering about it being around here somewhere, when suddenly Toph stops and says, “There’s a big pile of sandals about fifty feet below that cobbler’s house,” and Sokka loses his mind.

This raises the question of whether Aang is telling the truth or if Toph and Bumi just happen to have the same sense of humor as him.

May I offer a third option into the mix:

It’s just sheer coincidence but it sends Aang hog fuckin’ wild

ok but yknow what plot point also should have been used for comedy? zuko being roku’s great grandson, because like. imagine the things aang could have done with that information. imagine the revealing of that information.

Aang: hey thanks for the firebending lesson sifu hotman, it was really flameo

Zuko: i’m begging you please stop using century old slang. just because you’re technically my great grandfather doesn’t mean you should talk like it.

Aang, three hours later: WAIT I’M TECHNICALLY YOUR WHAT NOW
