Where the hell do team avatar keep getting their money from?

There's plenty of scenes of them talking about being low on money, such as in the Waterbending Scroll where they only had two copper pieces left. Yet any time they say this, come the next episode they always magically have more money again to buy food and supplies. They don't even have jobs, where does all this money keep coming from?
>>
>>152576696
"I am the Avatar, now give me money"
>>
>>152576696
They acknowledge times that people like King Bumi or the leader of Senlin village send them off with supplies and money.
>>
>>152576696
Maybe they went on some sidequests here and there for cash. They are basically an RPG party.
>>
>>152576696
It's the equivalent of a D&D party where if the DM doesn't care about that sort of thing then you'd probably always have a few gold coins on you and what >>152576739 said, then you can actually have money while acting like the Party was broke when you never were

>Katara
>hot
She's clearly mid
>>
>>152577050
She's also way too much of a bitch to whore herself out.
>>
>>152576864
There's even an episode where Sokka leaves to work on a fishing boat
>>
Wasn't Toph royalty?
>>
>>152576864
You are now imagining the Gaang grinding through Elder-Scrolls-esque sidequests in the Avatar world.
>>
>>152577058
hot blind girl i taught to stroke cylinders unknowlingly for money.
she knows exactly what you're making her do. she's getting off on it.
>>
>>152577132
Yes
>>
>>152576696
Katara and Toph are hookers
>>
>>152577105
It's implied he didn't actually get paid for that, for some reason.
I get the old man was a dick, but that seemed just a bit too unreasonable.
>>
>>152577217
He was paid in fish.
Which isn't terrible since Sokka was probably gonna spend it on meat anyway.
>>
>>152576696
They work when they need money, like when Sokka went on that fishing boat.
Other wise they catch and gather their own meals using their skills and bending and just rough it as long as they can, supplementing their meals with whatever staple foods they can buy and stock up on but won't unnecessarily weigh down Appa.

Sometimes grateful villagers and farmers will give them some free food and supplies
Like how Bumi and Pakku sent them off with some money. But it's never really going to be enough since they're in the middle of a prolonged war with no end in sight.
>>
>>152576696
The DM gives them gold and experience for completing each episode.
>>
>>152576864
There's that episode where Toph ran a bunch of scams on villagers to grift a ton of money

That had to last them until the day of the Invasion

At some point they probably started looting the unconscious bodies of Fire Nation soldiers they beat up
>>
>>152577331
>the Gaang going full murderhobo

This would be an incredible thing to explore in an M-Rated version of ATLA.
>>
>>152577132
No. Her dad was just a rich businessman.
>>
>>152577331
>That had to last them until the day of the Invasion
I like that they did actually end up spending some of that money on a full suit of armor for Appa
>>
>>152577355
I think the fact that the Beifong family has a surname and we don't see anyone else with one throughout the entire Avatar World has to mean they're really upper class, possibly even lower nobility
They have their own family seal that got the Gaang through the customs inspection to Ba Sing Se. Some random border agent recognized it instantly and waived them through

>>152577395
If I had money I'd love to buy Wolf Warrior Sokka and battle action Appa figures if such a thing existed
>>
>>152577395
He was a just REALLY rich businessman. The last name thing was just the writers on the show being dumb and not putting a lot of thought into world building. Like 99% of all the other plot holes in the lore.
>>
>>152577132
She's effectively Earth Kingdom aristocracy because her family is loaded and she was raised as a prim-and-proper young lady, and decided to throw it away to writhe in the mud like a pig.

She chastises Katara for this; Katara doesn't know the first thing about high society while Toph does, but just chooses to eschew it.
>>
>>152577602
The Fire Nation Royalty not having any sort of family name REALLY sticks out after Toph is introduced.
>>
>>152579205
To be fair they could have a family name, we the audience just don't know it because everyone just calls them Prince Zuko or Fire Lord Ozai

It's like how the British royal family has a last name, but everyone just refers to them as Queen Elizabeth or Prince Harry. We know who they're talking about
>>
>>152577151
Do you think they ever had to do a "kill all the rats" sidequest?
>>
>>152576696
prostitution
>>
>>152579825
Sokka is a sexy beast
>>
>>152579353
exactly the way i rationalize. and knowing them, it's probably some japanese or chinese name for divinity or some shit. that or some refference to Journey to the West
>>
>>152579825
Only Sokka though. And mostly only to old rich ladies. He was promised they wouldn't make him do butt stuff but they eventually make him do butt stuff.
>>
>>152579786
Yeah, but they were rat-seagulls infesting a warehouse. No bending allowed so the stored product (food stuffs) wouldn't get even more ruined by getting wet, or catch fire, or have the building and it's racking fall down due to earth bending.
>>
>>152580079
The end result of this would just be Sokka having to bash them all to death with his club.
>>
>>152580124
I'd like to think of it as the gaang all try to catch them without bending, but Sokka stands out as miles above them all, showing that while bending is useful, non-benders can be just as helpful.
>>
>>152576696
The get supplies for free on Kiyoshi island, then they get money from Bumi in Omashu, then they get supplies from the people in the village attacked by Hei Bai in the solstice episode etc. etc.
They pretty much always point out how they get stuff when they do, try watching the show next time.
>>
>>152576696
Like others have said. They're given money when they help people.

>"You'd be amazed how many of the shopkeepers we ran into could be convinced to give us free or discounted stuff for a peak at these perky brown tits."
>"Maybe a handjob if we really needed those supplies."
>"My boobs contributed more to our group than Suki ever managed to."
>"Well, at least the 'noble Kyoshi warriors' have finally found a task they can actually handle; sucking Firelord Zuko off between meetings."
>>
>>152579883
The Japanese imperial family doesn't have a family. Nonruling paternal branches were given last names to distinguish them from the reigning until 1947.
>>
>>152576696

This show is highly satanic because it prommotes the false religion of Buddhism
