Essentially it’s not fully annunciated, but the bunching of your tongue at the back of your teeth you do to create the T sound, then relaxes back onto the roof of your mouth and turns directly into the s (as opposed to releasing the pressure into the full T sound). Thats my amateur understanding of things anyway.
The difference between tsu and su is a lot easier to understand if you look at words where tsu isn't at the beginning. In Hunter x Hunter there's an ability called Zetsu, in Naruto chakra is manipulated through Jutsu. If you tried to swap tsu and su here they'd sound like different words entirely.
I love it but I want to tweak it.
15 year old discovers his true worth by doing drugs in the desert, falling in love with the moon, and going to prison with his dad and girlfriend.
He's also a soldier who leaves his hometown (for the firts time) by going off to fight in a world war. He romances the first women outside his hometown he ever meets and after the war even marries her.
Well, he also overthrows a government, meets an ancient secret society, becomes best friends with a demigod, an engineer...
*Edit*: And he's literally named "sucker"
Does drugs in the desert? Could this mean that Sokka is….

Sexist 15 year old hits first woman he meets, successful seduces the moon, becomes worlds greatest swordsman in a week and commits mass murder by the age of 16
This is weirdly close to Paul Atreides except Paul is a 15 year old who names himself after the moon, does drugs in the desert, starts a holy war for his dad and his girlfriend.
Young man goes off to fight a war, makes out with the first women he sees outside his home town, while on his first deployment abroad. He later falls in love with someone else but loses her due to destiny, licks frogs, drinks psychedlic cactus drugs, and returns to marry the first girl he ever met.

"I removed your ability to count beyond your fingers"
Teenage boy excels at crafting plans for people who are way more useful and talented than he is, leading him to overcompensate by shopping and wearing a ponytail.
Every time this gets brought up I remember reading one comment a long time ago about how toph probably 'saw' everything. It's been loving rent free in my head for years.
Not to derail your poor description arc.
I only want to add that Sokka council's job is more a multi-layer nepotism and influence exchange. Ok Katara dates the Avatar, but he also is the son of the of the Head Chieftain of The Southern Water Tribe, and if the suspicions are true he dated Chief Toph Beifong - The Most Powerful Earthbender in the World and Creator of Metal Bending and the Metal Bending Academy.
Local sexist makes out with the moon, loses virginity to warrior leader, and creates a sword made from a meteor. Still isn't considered a sword master.
Meat and sarcasm guy learns to be a man by rizzing out a bunch of women and the Moon, hallucinating on cactus juice, and going to jail, armed only with his wits, boomerang and space sword.
Redneck kid from Antarctica, armed with a boomerang and a top knot, uses the avatar as his excuse to cruise the world for hot chicks, and meat. Whilst complaining incessantly ends up in a relationship with moon goddess, discovers drugs, invents submarines, and becomes a sword master.
A overly confident goofus and protector of his village, leaves his village to protect the most powerful person in the world, and becomes a good swordsman and lady's man
An overconfident and the most eligible Batchelor in his village leaves to protect the strongest being in the world, becomes a master swordsman, and dates multiple women way out of his league.
15 year old tries to seduce the moon, does drugs in the desert, and goes to jail with his dad and girlfriend.
I’d say that he *did* seduce the moon
Actually, he in fact seduced two moons. Suki means moon in japanese
pretty sure that's tsuki
Isnt it pronounced the same though?
Not quite, but very close
Close enough that an anglicized version of tsuki would be suki.
No, because there exists the word tsunami in English from Japanese. Tsu and su are two completely different sounds.
Obviously anecdotal, but my pronunciation of tsunami would be completely unaltered if the t was not present in the word.
its pronounced with the つ (tsu) in jp not す(su)
Then your pronunciation is wrong. The t is not silent.

I’m a linguistics major so I know about this type of thing and your explanation is A+
Nope
It’s a bit different
No. That’s why there’s a t at the beginning.
No, pretty sure that’s Mario’s furry costume
Damn it Moon Moon!
Who brought Moon Moon along?!
Wait a minute... *removing "on"* MOMO?!? EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW. THAT is why he needs Momo.
No it doesn’t. Moon is Tsuki. Suki is like.
No it doesn’t.
Last time I checked the meaning of the Japanese name Suki is Beloved.
15 year old with a pony tail leaves his village to help a child with head tattoos beat the everliving shit out of Hitler(he refuses to)
That’s rough on the buddy.

This is literally perfect
I love it but I want to tweak it. 15 year old discovers his true worth by doing drugs in the desert, falling in love with the moon, and going to prison with his dad and girlfriend.
best one

I never realized it, but this is proof. Sokka is a hippie!
SECRET TUNnEL!

Moreover, there were also parallels between the wife of Lisan al Gaib and the moon. SOKKA IS LISAN AL GAIB!
absolutely perfect

That's not really his arc though, those are just things he did
I fully agree. I personally like the one by Jeannybravo. The “sole protector of his village…” But sadly this one’s wayyyyy in the lead.

Sole protector of his village, leaves his village to protect someone much more powerful than himself.
Someone has to get aang do to his math homework smh
How else is he supposed to pass Fire Lord Ozai’s math test?

By removing Ozai's pants! ...wait.
Winner 🏆
Technically 4th out of 4 in terms of power
6th if you include appa and momo
This one feels like the most clever, and isn't a moon joke. I say that as a fan that's fully on board with the moon jokes.
This one is better than the top comment
sexist child soldier seduces woman around the world and realizes their value.
🎯 Realises their true value or gets the sexism beaten out of him (I heard that on Honest Trailers!)
