How To Get A Job Fast As Hell
@owenabbott
Apply to a job, wait (1) day, then call. Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application.
When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly, tell them your first and last name.
Describe your experiences as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years] costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.
Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.” “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”
When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now).
Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.
When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy.
If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)
Questions for after the interview:
1. Does this position offer upward mobility?
2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)
Then, shake their hand, Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it.
AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices.
DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone. In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

do you ever just trip over a rock while daydreaming about your crush for the 3rd time in a week?
welcome to sokka’s life after zuko joins the gaang
the dynamic of this comic is Very much inspired by @sokkadyke ‘s brilliant zukka twilight au 💛
reblogs keep the art going ‘round!
how I envisioned this scene in the latest episode
I was, uumm, redrawing that screenshot of Sokka in the tent but oops, my hand slipped and it turned out gay *shock*
You know sokka would be in a neon cropped T-shirt or maybe some mesh?
What would 80s zukka wear?
please accept my humble zukka offering 🥺🙏🏼
i just want them to have happy domestic times 💕
i did not have a reference for the body poses, so please excuse the mistakes!
I draw this whole picture only because I wanted to add that Aang in the background
Z: Get out, Aang
A: *eyes closed in panic, taking the polaroid and then running out in more manic panic* TOPH MADE ME DO IT!

Ahahah YES to modern Zukka college AUs!!! I’ve decided that my Zukka college AU GIF that blew up is like…grad school. This? I think it’s Zuko’s 3rd year in undergrad and Sokka’s 2nd. BONUS drawings of what happened after Aang was safely gone will be up on P////tre/on! 4 more pics that range from adorable to very intense <3
Def view in full size to get the intensity of Zuko’s glare!
zuko in water tribe clothing >>>
all of my modern avatar university au!
bonus yue:
she’s sokka's ex. everyone thinks she’s dead cause when asking sokka what happened to her he says “she has gone to a better place” which is true because she went to study abroad in a really good university, and as no one had the guts to ask him how she “died” they assumed she was really gone.

Fake Relationships
1. Anything For You by beersforqueers
https://archiveofourown.org/works/6440107/chapters/14741941
Summary:
Based on this prompt. In which Sokka and Zuko have broken up but Sokka hasn’t told his family yet. So when Katara and Aang’s wedding weekend rolls around and he doesn’t want to break Gran-Gran’s heart, he asks Zuko to pretend to be his boyfriend for one last weekend.
Things don’t go as planned.
2. Will You Fake Date Me (But For Real This Time) by AlyssiaInWonderland
https://archiveofourown.org/works/21938437/chapters/52359385
Summary:
Zuko is determined to convince his Uncle that he is not, in fact, pining after Sokka.
Sokka is desperate to convince Katara and Aang that he is not, in fact, pining after Suki.
When Sokka’s scheme to avoid pity means Zuko and him must fake date for an entire diplomatic event, shenanigans, realisations and confessions ensue.
Aka: they fake date, they realise they’re mutually pining idiots, and then they date for real
3. Little Moments In The Ordinary by corgiles
https://archiveofourown.org/works/17507324
Summary:
Sokka just had to be cursed. That was the only way to explain why the person who only four months ago he had a healthy dose of genuine fear for was now standing in his kitchen introducing himself to his dad as his boyfriend. He just had to remember no matter how many cupcakes Zuko got him or how close they got as reluctant group project partners, they were only pretending to be dating for Thanksgiving. That couldn’t be too hard…right?
4. Emergency boyfriend by lesmiserablol
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24932779
“Can you be my boyfriend?”
Somehow, Sokka manages to not choke on his tea. He slowly puts his cup down as he looks across the table at the seat that had been empty just moments before but is now occupied with a panicked looking employee. This is his first time visiting the Jasmine Dragon, but if he’s going to be ambushed by attractive people every time he comes by, he might just become a regular.
5. Friends Dont Let Friends Fake Date Each Other by naggeluide
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22266358/chapters/53171026
Summary:
Toph demands that Zuko fake date her. This goes just about as well as can be expected. Sokka steps in to show them how it’s done, and this goes a bit better than expected.
6. One Coffee Please by Phantoms_Echo
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22704988
Summary:
“H-hey-!”
The person squeaked as they fumbled with their phone.
“Sorry, I’m really sorry! But I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend. My sister is bringing my ex with her in a surprise ambush and I really don’t have another choice,” Zuko explained quickly, eyes on his coffee. “I will pay you. Just, please go along with this?”
Binged atla and now I’m in love with these two and can’t stop,,, thinking about them 🥺
i love sokka a normal amount
these 2 would definitely have terrible fashion in a modern au but it's fun to think they wouldn't
hey jerkbender
Avatar the last airbender.
Like/ reblog if you save.
Thank you!❤️
Redraw of Sokka, because I love him.
brain rot
Top 10 favorite Zukka fics?
alright i am still fairly new to zukka fanfiction and i have so much to read but out of the ones i have read so far here are my favorites in no particular order:
everything in the best laid intentions series (but especially the third part for disaster bi sokka my son)
Centers around members of the Gaang coming out to their well meaning but woefully unprepared friends. Part one is centered around Zuko coming out as gay, the second one is centered around Toph coming out as a lesbian and the third one is centered around Sokka coming to terms with his bisexuality.
the consequences of knowing because i love some good angst and this changed me as a person
Sokka's in love with Zuko. Zuko knows this. Zuko's in love with Sokka. Sokka knows this.
They're not meant to be in love. Everyone knows this.
Five Times Zuko Wanted to Die (and One Time He Didn’t) for excellent flirty modern au
“Sorry about that,” the voice says, and suddenly the curtain has been pushed aside, and Zuko is speechless. “What can I help you with?” He stares. “Um— ” The boy has to be around his age, he’s sure of it. He’s got the most perfect tan face Zuko has ever seen, with blue eyes so brilliant it’s hard to form words. The college-age AU in which Sokka fixes watches, Zuko struggles through engineering, and everyone's nervous about the cute boy from the jewelry shop.
The Fate of Nations in Our Hands is a super good post war fic. who isn’t a slut for ambassador sokka and fire lord zuko??
Sokka and Zuko's journey with touch over the course of Sokka's first year as the Ambassador.
A Problematic Peace series for some more A+ post war content and pining dorks
(Part one summary) It’s a little bit hard to sleep alone in an empty palace when you’ve just gotten used to having friends, a little bit hard to lead a nation when your family’s gruesome legacy still colors everything you do, and a little bit hard to hold onto your last vestiges of heterosexuality when you’re starting to realize that you never had them in the first place.
Quit your life and come train Pokemon is my favorite modern au and the first kiss scene is the best thing i have ever read
Step one: Don't fall in love with Aang's ridiculously hot, talented, jerk-ish roommate who sings Fall Out Boy in the shower and is secretly a huge dork.
Failed step one.
The Good Vanilla is so adorable it made me cry
Sokka’s beautiful friendship with Zuko doesn’t start with breaking Dad out of jail. That’s just what he tells people.
Sokka’s beautiful friendship with Zuko started the day he realizes that he knows how to cook.
Feat. breakup cake, an attempted assassination, and eating out of the pan like dirty heathens.
Spirits Help Us, There’s Two of Them because they are perfect for each other and this fic proves it and the last scene changed my life
Sokka and Zuko are both weird guys. Fortunately, they're the same kind of weird as each other.
Friendship Bracelets more modern au cuteness but this time they are roommates and everything about it is so pure
Sokka was laughing, all stupid and nice with his head thrown back, and Zuko realized that he quite liked Sokka’s laugh. He liked it a lot.
And the sun was coming in through the windows in such a way that it was illuminating Sokka’s tanned skin, the blue of his eyes, the light of his smile. And Zuko thought fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck.
or
and they were roommates (oh my god they were roommates) ft. the inherent homoeroticism of friendship bracelets
(do you take this jerk to be) your one and only i told myself i would only do complete fics on this list but screw that this fic is the exception because it is so essential to zukka nation
Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.
The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.
The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.
Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.
