I would agree, just because it's no longer as plausible as it once was does not automatically render it crack. Crack!ships generally have no discernable reason or connection between the two characters and considering that Sokka and Yue were canon, I think it's impossible to truly relegate the ship to the designation 'crack' now. Also, let us not forget that someone could easily set any Sokka/Yue based fanfic/fanart/etc during the time period they were actually together. Additionally, it's clear that Sokka has not forgotten about his feelings for Yue. It may be more one-sided now, or at least impossible for the characters to act upon, but it's still canon.

With Sokka, I'm trapped between Tokka and Sukka (George). The show can go in any direction with those two ships, especially if they bring Suki back. Even though I'm leaning more towards Tokka, I do like George too.

Even though I'm leaning more towards Tokka, I do like George too. If Suki is dead (and I seriously doubt she is... the Fire Nation is too well known for just letting their prisoners rot in prison, not kill them right on the spot), than I'd definately lean to Tokka much more heavily than I do now. The only reason I haven't gone full-blown Tokka yet is because of Suki, and the fact that it seems like Sokka pretty much is oblivious to Toph's crush (if it can be considered a crush and not just a slight admiration... I think there's a difference between those two phrases...) on him. Oh... and on the Yue/ Sokka ship thing (I hate quoting... even though it seems to be I use a quote in like every post I make), I made a bit of an exageration by calling the ship crack I will admit. I'll rephrase what I said... it went from Fact to canon to canon-but-unlikely

On some forum somewhere, people got annoyed with the two possible pairing names for Sokka/Suki, since 'Sukka' can be pronounce either as 'sOO-kah' or 'SUCK-a' the later not being very nice; 'Sokki' I guess... no one likes. So someone named it 'George.'

I think Growly stated why it's not all that far out of plausibility--I like to think there's a reason they said the barrier between the living and spirit world is weakest during a solstice. Hey, if it applies to Koh, it can apply to her, esp. since she apparently can jump down from the clouds during a full moon. XD Let's face it, Sokka is one of those characters where most of his 'ships can be considered canon, since he apparently has a big enough heart for several ladies.

Which is why I think Sokka's ultimate ship is Sokka/Ladies.

That's really sick... but funny... Sounds like we'll be make the Sokladies Tea Shop I now X.x Unfortunately, we'd probably get laughed at... Oi... we went a bit off topic, and it was because I can't shut up about a ship that's somewhat plausible... (I really hope we can forgot that I was trying to be a ship-sinker for a minute...)

^Actually I think there is a Sokka/The Ladies thread... somewhere.
Similarly, I do know some who ship Iroh/The Ladies as well. :B But Iroh's harem isn't as big as Sokka's...

I made an Aang/ladies ship. and I really did make a verry good and well reasoned case for it as aang needs as many ladies as possible to repopulate the air-nomad race. but they trashed it. Similarly, I do know some who ship Iroh/The Ladies as well. :B But Iroh's harem isn't as big as Sokka's... No, That just isnt true... ... Ok, im done now.

Zenjamin - LOL, ILU BB.
damargrent - It's cool, 'canon' tends to be a tricky term in a lot of fandoms.
I'm not really stuck between two ships--the closest I can get to is Haru/Azula (all loveroftheflame's fault) and Haru/Ty Lee (curse you, shipping shorts!)

ROFLMAO.... I wonder if the Chibi shorts could be considered canon... if so, I'm SOOOO shipping Katara/ The Blue Spirit.

Hmm... well, the chibi shorts were drawn by the actual writers, so sure, canon away! Although some people might confuse that for Zutara, for which case... isn't exactly canon. (Yet.) By the way, I'm caught between shipping Taang and Kataang... and also Taang and Tokka. (Really big on Gaang ships, I am. ) They're all awesome ships. I agree that I'd rather be a multishipper than choose only one to support... but I don't think I would be called a hypocrite if I called Kataang my OTP and just regular-shipped the others.
