another 90s hc but can work with any au: toph and katara was on the news twice. one was bc toph and katara was scamming. the way sokka found was bc aang called him at like twelve in the morning. no hello, just "JAISUSUW SOKKA YOUR SISTER AND TOPH IS IN JAIL" sokka thinks it's a prank but aang was literally yelling and shaking in the phone so sokka knew it wasn't a prank anymore.
the other time was when they were getting interviewed for mall bans in their area, and katara and toph goes on a whole ass rant bc they love the mall. it was so many censors.
OMG BESTIE IM SO SORRY I DIDNT ANSWER THIS ONE YET???? anyway LMAOOOOOOOOO ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY SHIT GOING ON HERE. SOMEONE COOKED EVEN. I’m so glad you acknowledge that Katara is equally as likely if not more likely to get arrested than Toph bc like…. My girl blew up a factory, on purpose even, pulled the biggest scam she could think of and various other probably illegal things. Now I’m picturing Sokka, Tuesday afternoon, sitting on the couch, flipping the page of his blue spirit fanfic that he bound into a book, suddenly his phone just starts ringing.
He only needs to take one look and then he knows. Aang’s stupid little profile picture smiling at him.
“What happened this time?” He doesn’t even sound concerned at this point, just exasperated.
“I DON’T EVEN KNOW. ALL I SAW ON THE NEWS WAS A BANK ON FIRE AND MOMO COVERING THE SCREEN WITH HIS WING.”
“Tui have mercy on us all.”
