Always???

Just because there's a fanart of Zutara with Fire Nation culture, doesn't mean Zutara with Water Tribe culture never existed at all.

In one fanart, Zuko and Katara share cultures. Katara tries spicy Fire Nation food. Then, Zuko wears a parka and experiencing life in the pole.

Katara has to wear FN clothing!

Zutara shipper once made Zutara's wedding with Southern Water Tribe culture in South Pole. I don't see 'Katara has to wear Fire Nation clothing' there.

Zuko doesn't have to make an effort with her culture!

The same Zutara shipper made a fanart of Zuko joins Water Tribe hunting culture with his father-in-law and brother-in-law. He uses a parka, water tribe braids, and a water tribe spear.

This is one of my favourite Zutara SWT fanart. Zuko tries to learn Katara's culture, but it's turn out Gran-grand pranks him!

And there's no need to worry about Katara's heritage because there are also Zutara and steambabies fanarts with Water Tribe culture.

Look! Zuko is playing snowballs with steambaby. So adorable! What's the 'Katara has to wear FN clothing' thing?? I don't see it here, except for the fire symbol on Zuko's parka, that's all.

Also there are a lot, literally a lot of Zutara in Water Tribe clothing fanarts. I can't put them all, but, here some of them.

Oh, Netflix ATLA also gave us Zutara Water Tribe crumbs!! 😍😍

Zutara fanarts are very diverse, they usually wear red and blue, sometimes FN or SWT clothes, or sometimes Earth Kingdom clothes, or sometimes Painted Lady and Blue Spirit clothes.

So, 'Katara has to wear FN clothing' is ridiculous comment. Please, at least do a little research first before commenting.

Ship what you want but surely a relationship should be balance with both wanting to learn about the other's heritage.

Exactly!

But, to be able to learn and accept other cultures as part of ourselves, at least there is no culture that clash with our own principles, right?

For example, when someone have a vegan culture, meanwhile hunting animals, eating meat, and making clothes from fur are his gf's cultures, how can he blend in with that? Would he comfortable with all those??

Also, if he learns and accept most of his gf's culture - comfortable or not - then wouldn't he disrespect his own cultures and principles? So, how to make the relationship balance?

*hmm, well, I'm just saying. It's not like I take an example from canon

The good news is that Zuko's culture does not clash with Katara's. Their cultures are different, but them learn each other's culture will not disrespect their own principles (not like the example above).

He could hunting the animals, eats meat, wears parka, and wouldn't mind with the pelts. All fine!

Sokka [in the Fire Nation city] : Come on, Aang, everyone here eats meat. Even the meat! 

Bruh, even in canon Zuko willingly pretending to be water bender and using water bending move (he learns the move from Katara), so what are you complaining about?? 😭����

zuko & jet: character arc parallels

it’s fairly obvious that jet and zuko are parallels – they’re obstinate teenage boys with lofty goals and a penchant for dual swords. towards the end of book 2, both jet and zuko’s plot threads often run parallel. one is quite literally brainwashed by the dai li, the other is, in another sense, brainwashed by his own upbringing. these parallels are most notable around “lake laogai”, but extend to the episodes around it. here’s a closer reading of these arcs, though:

these screencaps show visual similarity. zuko, in “lake laogai”, undergoes a relapse back into his avatar-hunting ways, which parallels how jet relapsed into his hatred against the fire nation when he first entered ba sing se. both relapses lead them to lake laogai. under the lake, jet becomes brainwashed, and loses grasp on his own identity. zuko, likewise, has an identity crisis under the lake in front of appa. iroh pressures him to reconsider his own values, his brainwashing. he breaks free of his brainwashing to set appa free, just as jet breaks free of his brainwashing to attack long feng – both in aid of the avatar.

the visual parallels are clear here, in these pictures. in this scene, iroh and long feng are authorities that push zuko and jet towards a decision – one benevolent, and the other, not. frustrated, both zuko and jet let out a cry and throw their blades. one throws his aside, following his uncle, and the other throws his towards his controller.

afterwards, zuko drops his blue spirit mask into the lake. one way to interpret this is that he’s finally starting to let go of the lies he told himself and the beliefs he’s had about his upbringing. a moment of clarity, similar to how jet was clearheaded as he lead the gaang into lake laogai. water, in this episode and towards the end of s2, is symbolic of clarity – it tears away falsehoods and exposes the truth. when jet first snapped out of his brainwashing, it was because katara used waterhealing to stimulate his real memories. furthermore, when zuko dropped his mask into the lake, the lakewater served a similar purpose – it stripped him of his false identity and left him with nothing but himself and truths he had to contend with.

to take this even further, in “the earth king”, zuko collapsed when he finally got back to his and iroh’s apartment. while jet died physically, zuko underwent a metaphorical death. during these deaths, both were tended to by their closest loved ones. the symbolic water is also at play here. when katara arrives, she attempts to heal jet with water, before realizing he’s going to die. while zuko is laying sick, iroh gives him water, which zuko grabs and drinks fervently. in both cases, water is once again clarity. for jet, katara’s prognosis verifies his death, no matter how nonchalant he acts. for zuko, he drinks the water as a ward against his own hallucinatory dreams, as a method to push back against his own confusion.

however, this is where their paths diverge. jet dies under lake laogai, semi-redeemed. zuko lives, and proceeds to betray his uncle. water, again, symbolizes clarity – katara offered to heal his scar in “the crossroads of destiny”, which would untether zuko from his last painful ties to his father, and possibly help him realize his true destiny. they’re interrupted by iroh and aang, and more importantly, azula. if water (represented by katara) symbolizes clarity, then fire (represented by azula) symbolizes illusion, at least in this aspect of the story. after all, when the dai li first brainwashed jet, they did so using fire. along the same vein, azula plays the same role towards zuko. she entices him back into the fold, and it’s almost as effective as an “invitation to lake laogai". and like how jet left smellerbee and longshot behind him to follow a new directive, zuko left his uncle behind. they betrayed not only their loved ones in doing so, but themselves.

one last note: both zuko and jet are shown to be torn. jet is very specifically torn between his brainwashing and his allegiance to the freedom fighters and their cause – the two authorities that “control” him are long feng and his own personality, history, and friendships. the latter clearly wins out for him. for zuko, he’s torn three ways – by iroh (and the line of roku), by azula (and the line of sozin), and by himself and his own desires.

for zuko, the last one doesn’t win out, because he can’t even begin to clarify what he wants. that’s the prime difference between jet and zuko. jet knows who he is – he’s a warchild and a rebel and a fighter and a leader. zuko can’t even begin to comprehend who he is or what he wants. and this lack of, once again, clarity, is what ultimately subjugates him to azula’s lies (illusions) again.

he gets his first gray hair in his early twenties

#Zutara headcanon:

Zuko goes gray early from all the stress and trauma in his life (plus dark hair is more prone to early greying).

Katara loves to tease him about it and calls him a silver fox.

She thinks he’s devilishly handsome as ever.

Hey twinkletoes let’s go cheat scammers like the old times.

[korielle-writing-fanfics]

I don't know if it's an unpopular take but I cannot stand Toph's characterization in the ATLA comics. They stripped Toph of all her personality traits expect for sassy earthbender. She's downright rude in some instances. I won't even begin to talk about her erasure - one of the fandom's preferred characters and yet she is barely more than a side character (even in her designated comic she has to share it with Aang)

Where is the Toph that cried because she missed her mother and felt remorse for abandoning her during the war? Where is the Toph that comforted Zuko during the Ember Island Play intermission? Where is the Toph that canonically loves and protects her friends, thinks of them as a family and wants to carry out their friendship into another life?

Yes, Toph is confident, arrogant at times and sassy. But she never was rude to her loved ones; never disregarded differenf cultures nor did she ever lack spirituality. It's also hysterical that during The Rift - after Toph passes out from saving multiple people from being crushed by metal - not one of her friends remembers or seems to care about her. NOT ONE!

Most characters were done dirty in these comics. Katara and Zuko might be the biggest victims of being substantially OOC but I rarely see people talk about how they completely disregarded Toph's character arc or her personality.

One day I'll write a whole dissertation of Toph's portrayal in the comics (and how her relationship with Aang was handled)

You can have a badass female character without stripping her from her humility and vulnerability.

i've reached a point where i'm not gonna even bother entertaining anti-zutara arguments because a lot of zutara antis have shown how hypocritical they are (e.g. complain about zutara being "problematic" when they ship zu**a and zuk**ng) and it's very disgusting to accuse me, a black woman, of supporting colonialism when i have family members who are old enough to remember when their country was a colony and said former colonial empire still has immense influence on their country. if anyone knows about the repercussions of colonialism, it's me. you're not helping poc at all by policing what they can and can't ship and if you come in replies or messages accusing me of supporting real-life atrocities for shipping two fictional characters, you're getting a hard block.
