I think the most hilarious place to put Post-Canon Sokka would have been the university at Ba Sing Se. I think he would have made a great unhinged professor. Also, in true Sokka fashion, he should have completely dodged fame. Momo is more famous than he is.

He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.

"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.

One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...

Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.

Copied from a Facebook page:

When Wallace Shawn first read the script for "The Princess Bride," he paused over a single word that would later define his character, Vizzini. The line simply read: “Inconceivable!” with no instruction on delivery or emphasis. In an interview with "Entertainment Weekly," Shawn recalled sitting alone in his apartment, repeating the word again and again into a tape recorder. He felt that a straightforward reading would flatten Vizzini’s absurd confidence. He wanted to infuse the exclamation with a rhythm that matched the character’s inflated sense of superiority.

He began experimenting with dozens of pronunciations, from a drawn-out lament to a quick bark. Finally, he settled on a clipped, high-pitched version that turned the word into a sneering challenge. He explained that he aimed to create the impression Vizzini believed he was the only intelligent person in any conversation. Shawn described this process as a kind of “private laboratory,” where he tried to craft something that sounded musical and sharp without losing the comedic edge.

During the filming of "The Princess Bride" in 1987, he quickly learned his instincts had struck a chord. Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes often repeated “Inconceivable!” in the same singsong tone during breaks. At first, Shawn worried they were mocking him. He admitted in a conversation with the "New York Times" that he would return to his trailer feeling uneasy about whether the cast respected his performance. However, Patinkin later assured him they repeated the word because it had become an instant favorite.

Shawn also revealed that the director, Rob Reiner, encouraged him to keep pushing the exaggeration further. Reiner wanted Vizzini to feel like a man so certain of his brilliance that even obvious contradictions never shook his faith in his own conclusions. Shawn credited this encouragement for giving him the freedom to take the line to its most ridiculous extreme.
