#Azula has chaotic little sister vibes and Sokka is in need of more chaotic little sisters in his life

dragon!Azula AU: *Katara comes back without a dragon but with a disheveled, slightly feral Firebender*

Sokka immediately: is this little sister material?

Jet/Katara?

Azula/Sokka?

Zuko/Song?

Haru/Katara?

Jet / Katara

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell 

I don't seriously ship it but I think as a post-canon crack ship (where Jet lives) it's got the potential to be hilarious. Like, let's be real – to some degree Jet was trying to manipulate Katara by withholding essential info r.e. his plans, I think that would actually need to be addressed (if one is seriously going to ship it), and in the case that it does, I think it would be nice for Katara to have an anarchist friend/boyfriend (and writing the Eyeliner Incident, where Jet isn’t trying to manipulate / withold information but actually doing activism with him is a helpful outlet and they have a positive, healthy friendship behind the scenes / between the lines, was genuinely really nice) but also? IMO it's best as something comic.

Like, imagine Katara is on a break with Aang and at first it's hard and people are sad but after a while she tells Sokka she's dating someone new and Sokka is like 'great! good for you! :)'. And Katara brings home this new guy, all excited, and who is it, who is it? fucking Jet of course. The one dude that everyone seems to think is Hot Shit for some inexplicable reason (except Sokka, who has brain cells, thank you). Sokka would be livid! Literally his worst nightmare! Can’t even say anything because he’s friends with Zuko of all people, he can’t call bullshit on what Katara says about “Jet being a better-informed activist and we’re on the same page now :)”

(Really, if I'm honest while I am on team Redemption For Jet my gut instinct is not to take the episode 'Jet' seriously at all because it's so clearly a misrepresentation demonisation of collective resistance to imperialism)

Azula / Sokka

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell 

okay so:

I'm pretty much on the Azula is a closeted lesbian train and while in some cases I can like contradicting headcanons (in different universes obviously) this is probably an exception to that.

Like all Fire/Water ships it’s an enemies-to-lovers situation and how good that massively depends on how it is written, the specifics of the situation they meet, and whether it is in an AU or a canonical scenario (with Azula, it’s almost always a ‘no’ in canon).

I don’t see Sokka being particularly into her, if I’m honest. I default to imagining him treated a post-recovery Azula a bit like a chaotic little sister, and see them as unlikely friends with siblings vibes. (In a canon situation, I honestly think he’d probs be a little too cut up about how she taunted him about Suki during The Day of Black Sun to some extent.)

That said, while I don’t think it’s something I’m really into, I can see why some people ship it? Like, I do see the appeal of confrontational rivals, and I imagine they’d get super competitive together, and for sure Azula respects and appreciates his intelligence (which is important, as Sokka feels undervalued despite it). It would again, depend on writing, and the AU in which it’d take place, but yeah. I do feel like it’s a ship for people who care about Azula’s character more than they care about Sokka’s character as a whole. As a fan of both, I think there are better matches for them, but also I can see the appeal, even if it’s not really for me for various reasons.

Zuko/Song

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

Not something I’ve thought about much, but. She tried to touch his scar and then he stole his ostrich horse (obviously, that’s far worse imo, well done for stealing a poor family’s means of livelihood Zuko) and he’s also the fire lord now which makes it super awkward so I’m just going to go ahead and say nah? (I def can’t see it as a quick kiss/fling, just because Song did push his boundaries and Zuko feels too guarded at this point in canon.)

If you’re going to ship Zuko with a minor female character, I'd opt for Jin/Zuko. More fun, better vibes.

Haru/Katara

vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

... I have no opinion on this? They’re just okay? Katara has a crush on a cute boy in proximity and he seems nice and... otherwise doesn’t compel me particularly, there’s not much story there or really much a ‘feel’ to them as a couple, but I do love Toph’s comment about ‘I knew you were having a fling with Haru’. Not as much comedy mileage as Katara/Jet or as much story potential so yeah. Good for them, but I’m not particularly interested.
