#I am a platonic soulmates believer btw

[poppyseed799]

One thing that bothers me is a lot of complaints about soulmate tropes/AUs/such are very easily solved by simply recognizing what a soulmate actually is. “What if your soulmate is a bad/abusive partner?” well by definition they are perfect for you so that is simply not an issue. “What if you don’t like them?” Once again you guys are perfect for each other this is not an issue. “What about aromantic people?” Assuming this is a world where EVERYONE has a soulmate (since the obvious solution is just to not have one) then ONCE AGAIN a soulmate is PERFECT for you so chances are they might ALSO be aromantic or otherwise completely understand and will not cause any issue for you at all. “What if you don’t do love don’t do friends don’t like anybody?” Once again chances are your soulmate is the same or at least understanding and they will be the most tolerable person on the planet to you. Maybe they’re your soulmate BECAUSE you never meet that’s a funny concept.

Like there’s certainly criticisms to be made about the trope but I hate when people point to like. The Soulmate Being Bad as one. Brother that is NOT how this works 😭. I once watched a miniseries that had soulmates but then they tossed in the idea of soulmates being abusive towards each other and I’m like “Then What TF Determines Who Is Your Soulmate” it just totally took me out of it man. Don’t ask why I’m so passionate about Soulmates Being Perfect For You cuz tbh idk why either but it just keeps bugging me. If you’re gonna do a twist that soulmates AREN’T perfect for each other then at least explain WHY. Is it perfect based on genetics? Are soulmates totally randomized? Give me a reason cuz the DEFAULT is that they are MADE FOR EACH OTHER. God.

[all-pacas]

i think you're deeply in denial about being a chase/cam shipper or you gotta change your definition of shipping or something. because whatever you're doing here absolutely 100% looks like shipping them. to the untrained eye

in reality i have this very multi long paragraph disclaimer that's too convoluted to even explain but here ya go:

they are my two favorite characters

i like seeing them interact because of this fact

i find their deeply complimentary set of flaws fascinating. i love seeing cameron in a Relationship because she's such a fucking unreliable narrator about herself. i like seeing chase in a relationship because the very concept of "putting someone besides yourself first" is so antithetical to him and the opposite of what he has learned his whole life. i want to put them in a room together. i want cameron to talk at glowing length about her soulmate dead husband and how she watched him die and i want chase to talk about watching his mother die and how much he hates and resents her. i don't know where that conversation would go but i Want It. it's like how i want chase and 13 to talk about murder and redemption together. it is a platonic smashing together of fake people, not about making them kiss

i think they were badly written in the sense that like. there's no writing. they're just together. now they're not. now chase has feelings. do we see them? no. now cameron has feelings. do we see them? no. now they date for three years. as someone who likes writing and narrative this drives me insane because it's so lazy.

i think i could do it better, not in a "because i want to write uwu fixit fanfic where they kiss" way but in a "this sort of writing drives me insane" way. like. huddy was badly written too but it very much existed. cameron and chase are just "oh btw chase fell for her at some point for some reason during fwb." why???? we can handwave but there is NOTHING IN CANON. cameron likes him too! why??? WHO KNOWS

however i also find it annoying when people go "solution: they never dated, we pretend it never happened" because that's ALSO lazy and retcons several years of canon including cameron's exit from the show. including the actual character development chase gets, which i actually do like. i think i'm a rare person who almost prefers late series chase. i like short haired chase. and i don't like the idea of erasing all that canon development just because "uwu i don't like it" (or, more petty, because "uwu i think cameron should have kissed x -- usually house -- so i hate this canon relationship that like it or not did exist")

this ties in to my actual fairly complicated feelings about cameron and how a lot of fandom tends to Girlboss her up in obvious and admirable contrast to her years of reddit-ish character bashing. where i admire the Spirit but deeply dislike this Girlboss characterization.

basically i am a deeply contrary person by nature

so whenever i see this ship i go IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, and OUT OF SPITE I WILL DEFEND IT, which is a whole perpetual motion machine of feelings

i honestly could not care less about them kissing. except for the specific episodes where they allude to having a sex life and foreman all but flees the room. i actually care quite a lot about that, i think it's super funny. so in that context (in front of foreman, to troll him) i want them to make out.

i've gone and read old ffn stories from when the show was airing that featured them as a couple. like from true fans and believers of the ship. i disagree with almost all of it and think usually cameron and usually chase are ooc in these stories. but in different ways. this also triggers my spite

so sure. yes. i ship it. probably,

[saemi-the-writer]

Like Disney Hunchback of Notre Dame? Then: Phoebus/Esme, Quasi/Esme, FrEsme please?

Oho, ohohoho? 😃 HERE I GO!!!

Phoebus/Esmeralda

Since it's Disney version we're talking about, HECK YES!! I loved them as a kid and I still love them as an adult. The two work very well together and have an excellent chemistry. I never agreed with the "Phoebus gets the girl only because he's handsome" and I get annoyed each time I hear/read a similar comment (especially when it's from a guy, incel much?).

The second movie did them dirty and a disservice so I'll ignore it because if these two had to face struggles as a married couple, there were more interesting things to work with like Phoebus struggling with PTSD or any sign/reminder that he's a war veteran and needs time to adjust, how would they live, what about their families, etc. That would have made them less bland and not made a fool out of Phoebus or Esmeralda accusing him unfairly of being judgemental when him not being was the whole reason she felt attracted to him to start with!

Quasimodo/Esmeralda

So far, I've only read two fanfics that had a characterization that made them work for me. Otherwise, I see them as platonic soulmates💞 I get why Quasimodo falls for Esmeralda (who doesn't? 😳) but let's not forget she's the first person/woman to show him compassion and to treat him with kindness and respect, and he idealises her, so it's more infatuation than true romantic love. Because yes, I do think and agree that they love each other deeply, just not romantically and that makes it even more touching in my eyes. I believe Quasimodo might find someone that will want to share their life with him as a spouse when he's ready too.

Frollo/Esmeralda

Now, I'm in a "divise subject" territory 😆

I understand why the pairing is popular, but too many fanfictions/art show Esmeralda as resigned and becoming submissive to Frollo's authority and sometimes cruelty for my taste. Sometimes, I feel like Esmeralda serves as a self-insert for some authors (which I don't mean as an insult btw) who are fond of the dominant man/submissive woman dynamic. To each their own, I guess, definitely not mine.

I'd like it a lot more if Esmeralda was the dominant one - and not just because I like femdom or out of spite or anything! Esmeralda is feisty, courageous and wouldn't just bow her head silently in my opinion; plus I am a big fan of the heroine/hero catching the villain off-guard and getting the upper hand (y'know, like they do in most stories but not to win/kill the villain here, see where I am going?) Show me Esmeralda getting things (cough) into her hands and making Frollo kneel!! It's a pairing I have difficulty seeing them have a happy ending without changing the characters quite drastically (not impossible though), so unless it's like canon: the one-sided and tragic end, I see it more as "it's complicated", star-crossed lovers at best or bittersweet, borderline or obviously toxic for the two of them.

[someshipshouldnotexist]

Merthur

Merthur is one of my all-time favourite ships, for very good reason, and should absolutely exist in canon.

It will forever irk me that they're not canon, because they are like, absolutely soulmates??? canonically too??? like this whole "two sides of the same coin" and "other half" bullshit sounds a lot like a soulmate situation to me so??? why no canon???

I'm sorry but they also just stare longingly into each others way too much for them to be totally platonic bffs.

And some of the lines they've said??? To quote some of my favourites, "do you know how to walk on your knees" (literally their first meeting lmao) and "is your little bottom sore" (both said by Arthur btw) like...it looks a bit suspicious...

Also that one scene in s04e12 where Arthur walks out with no pants...and Merlin's eyes instantly glance down...there...

Also Merlin's depth of devotion of Arthur??? This man is willing to slaughter entire armies for his king, that is a very strong bond they have. Not just that but in The Disir, Merlin gives up the opportunity to free magic, to have everything he should want, for a chance to save Arthur from a potential threat who hasn't yet proved himself to be anything but a loyal knight. That is love and you cannot tell me otherwise.

And Arthur? For me one of the most compelling scenes showing his love for Merlin - not just his attraction (because they really do flirt a lot) - is in s04e06. His fear over losing Merlin, the grief he feels when he thinks he has, his refusal to give up, his desperation and denial - Arthur was going through it. And when he finds Merlin, the smile that blooms on his face? The look in his eyes? That's love. It was a soul-crushing relief with swallowed Arthur in that moment, Arthur who thought he lost Merlin, his other half, the man which made him whole, as he found the man he loved again.

I also really just have to mention Freya's episode when Arthur is trying to cheer Merlin up, like he notices Merlin is down and tries to help in the only way he knows how (he's so proud of himself when Merlin laughs and he succeeds my god), and then HIS SMILE??? THAT SOFT SMILE HE GIVES MERLIN??? so not platonic at all. There is no way. Anyway I look at it, all I can see in that smile is Arthur's love for Merlin.

And let's not lie, Arthur is not comfortable with physical intimacy. Like at all. (let's blame Uther) But with Merlin? he's constantly ruffling his hair, punching him, clapping his shoulder. I absolutely believe that Arthur is an Emotionally Repressed Man-Child and these are the only ways he knows how to convey his care/love for Merlin.

Merthur have hands down the most tension-filled sexual chemistry in the entire show. Arthur and Gwen were nowhere near as good together as what Arthur and Merlin could have been, if bbc had let it happen.

I will absolutely die on this hill, I am, to the end, a merthur defender.

(Let's be honest they were basically flirting the entire show).

Merthur is, without a doubt, an 11/10 ship. You cannot change my mind these two are my entire personality atp.

taking a small break from MSQ just to jot down haylin's relationship with the scions ( some story spoils under the cut btw! )

thancred - bestie, brother in arms, feels like she has her brother back, platonically loves him to the moon and back, sulks like a bitch when he goes off on metal gear solid missons bc she wants to be there but she'd fall over her own feet within the first five minutes and he knows this ( and points it out every single time )

y'shtola - 'yes ma'am whatever you say ma'am i am yours to command ma'am', adores the ground she walks on, is on her best behaviour when she's around bc she genuinely makes haylin nervous, asks her to look her over sometimes just to be certain she's 'still me'

alphinaud - her baby, her everything, her little brother, her munchkin, constantly fussing over him, constantly giving him kisses atop his head, is his scary dog privilege bc if anyone looks at him wrong her hand is twitching to clock 'em, spoils him, is her impulse control and the person who keeps her steady bc god knows haylin woulda lost it by now if he didnt hope and believe in life enough for the two of them, twelve help the poor souls that ever hurt him and help the people of the star ever still if she ever lost him

alisaie - gives into her requests for friendly competitions to encourage her, is just as protective of her but lets her fight her own battles until she needs her, when alisaie says 'i dare you' haylin always answers with 'bet', is her ultimate hypeman bc haylin's just so proud of her

estinien - her favourite chew toy, her favourite person to bother, draws her weapon just as fast as he draws lance bc she too is a fighter not a talker, pesters him regularly about how he can fight airborne bc she wants to too but he never spills the secret, is itching to get her hands on messing with his hair but will he let her? no, bc even he knows better, best bros really she's v fond of him

g'raha tia - soulmate best friend her heart her home she does not want to be anywhere he isnt ever again like she has not recovered from him being taken by hades and then watching him turn to crystal while she holds his soul and memories like a fucking tamagotchi in her hand like this is one the only times the scions saw her break down and had to carry her for a change bc damn, loves this idiot, is the dictionary definition of 'i'll do it if you will' unless its dangerous then haylin is like UMMM NO, can be found eating whatever they can get their hands on together like squirrels at the back of the group, wants to confess her feelings but doesnt want to ruin anything and believes raha deserves better, would actually burn everything if she lost him again ( cannot be certain alphinaud can talk her out of that one tbh folks )

urianger - is her own personal siri bc most of the time all anyone hears is 'hey urinager what's--', likes to mess with him but urianger knows how to distract her and ends up teaching her something instead, is her person and she loves him and goes to him often for counsel and company and QUIET, def sits in his room pretending to be bored but just wants to be near so she can SLEEP without worrying for anything

tataru - as far as haylin is concerned she is the gods favourite princess and whatever tataru wants she gets, loves this little mischief maker, purposefully makes time to spend with her bc she's so often left behind to worry and fear for everything all by herself and she wants tataru to know she is NEVER alone as long as she exists

lyse - visits her frequently to have a bit of fun and get her out of the whole meetings and business shit, seeks out mischief and trouble just to fire her up a bit, has been known to tap lyse in to take care of idiots bc it's the funniest shit to her and that's her GIRL

minfilia - misses her every goddamn day, some might say on par with how thancred misses her, thinks about her often and how lonely it is not to have her in life any more, misses their conversations and her insights, feels responsible for letting her go to hydaelyn ( actually could not look thancred in the eye for MONTHS after he was found ), damn well nearly told ryne to bring her back during that talk until she remembered how minfilia made her feel like it was alright to live her own life and follow her own path too, writes her letters sometimes just to talk to her again

papalymo - never got the chance to build a real relationship with him but she thinks about how she walked away from him without looking back that night and how she wished she'd said thank you for the way he took a chance on her and brought her to the scions, how he brought her home

krile - ultimate teammate in picking on alphinaud, wants to hear all the gossip from her, is so grateful that someone else in the group has the echo bc the echo makes her feel lonely and being able to talk to krile about it means everything, is v protective of her if only for the group

arenvald - sends letters to him with alphinaud's letters and it's usually absolute nonsense to try cheer him up, alphinaud sends him updates but haylin sends him the YOU'LL NEVER FUCKING BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED DUDE, visits him when she gets the chance, is the number one pusher for him to make a move on fordola ( when she's not around obviously shes not that stupid )

f'lhaminn - avoids her most of the time, feels too guilty to talk to her for too long or alone, asks her if she needs anything though and looks out for her the best she can

riol - desperately tries to sneak up on this asshole every time she's back at the rising stones and he catches her every time and it pisses her off so much bc she can never get the drop on him and its all she wants in life any more

honorable mention: haurchefant - visits him regularly, takes a mug of hot chocolate for herself and one to sit on his headstone, his grave is the only place she lets herself go and cry and the weight of being the warrior of light out, tells him all the adventures and how everyone is, checks in on his family and makes sure they're alright, only smiles sometimes any more because a smile better suits a hero, still feels like she cant get his blood out from under her nails, even now

Ballet slipper, Rose and Coral for the pink ask game? And enjoy your divorce cake girl, cheers to you and to your freedom🩷🩷

hello love! thank you for the ask! love your updated blog btw! 💕💕

the cake is delicious, but it came out… kind of funny 🤭 it was supposed to be pastel pink, but i guess it works that the cake itself is as chaotic as the notion of a ‘divorce cake’ lol. i’ll treat you to a picture under the cut!

ballet slipper— with only one word, describe how you feel at this moment

bittersweet- because i literally have a slice of my divorce cake plated in my lap as i type this, but im also having a good night drinking with my best friend!

rose— do you believe in soulmates? why or why not?

i don’t believe in romantic soulmates. if anything, there are platonic soulmates. maybe people you’re meant to meet! but not necessarily stay with forever as the idea of a soulmate implies.

coral— what’s something you’re passionate about?

i gave my hobby answer last, so i’ll pick another! i’m passionate about victim advocacy- i am seeking out a career in it. not sure if i want to do it directly or indirectly, but we’ll figure it out!

Heyyyyyyyy so this ask is just out of pure curiosity, but what is your lookism

otp

rareship

kinda popular pairing u cant just jive with so much

hello curious anon! thank you for the ask hope you're having a pleasant timezone!

otp: idk if you've seen my posts or my ao3 but i am literally a janiel writer. jaeseok is literally The lookism otp for me. but if i had to pick a second otp it would be zami bc they're so good for each other sorry vinzackers but zami is one of my only few valid het ships that i'll actually die fighting for (i like danizoe too but i think they're better off besties bc they both need a bestie of the opposite gender so 1) zoe can realize guys are not that great 2) daniel can realize he can be good friends with girls without having to date them)

rarepair: idk if anyone ships this other than me but yuimira? i made a bs headcanon post when i saw lookism rarepairs prompt-ish thing and i'm too lazy to link it but if you search yuimira on my blog i bet you'll find it but anyway! mira's 'i can fix them' energy is so strong (read: zack, johan) but she's also really sweet and her angel energy could really balance out yui's bitch energy you get me? hence why i raise you the even rarer rarepair of zamiyui bc zack is also a bitch at least to others you can't tell me no

non-ship: hmmge. HMMGE. CURIOUS ANON YOU'RE GONNA GET ME STONED FOR THIS but i'm gonna say quite a few ships actually so i might as well let the homies flame me sooner rather than later btw some of this might get a little nsfw!

gundaniel: i'm sorry but you can't tell me daniel would ever love gun romantically of his own volition. i only ship it as gun simping for daniel and daniel being terrified and disgusted / noncon / possibly dead dove ish with the broken bone and blood kind of gore combined with noncon

gungoo & jakemuel: they act like brothers. i thought they were brothers for the longest time i can't ship them romantically, sorry for the anon who asked me to write gun x goo and jake x samuel sheesh both of my non-ships!

jakejiho: idm jake but i HATE jiho with a burning passion. i love his bastardisation arc and it was really well written but 1) it took up too much of the main story imo like daniel literally wasn't the mc of lookism for that arc 2) his ending SUCKED. he just died like that and i think it was just like ??? why so sudden?? why he just end like that? haiyaa ptj-nim you already made him bad why not make him Worse and keep him in the story (and keep me fuming every other chapter /LOL jiho's the one guy i would hate irl more than gun bc he's so fucking pathetic istg)

vasco and jace: this is the one i'm gonna get flamed for more than anything but LOOK. vasco's neurodivergent aroace vibes are so strong to me and just. male friendship yk. they're platonic soulmates bc that's good too yk. they're more than besties but not lovers in that sense... not me hinting at my vascojace platonic soulmates agenda in hit and run with "jaeyeol and hyungseok have the special bestie telepathy like vasco and beomjae, but it's different for jaeyeol and hyungseok" as in romantic difference, and one of my readers immediately went omg yeah vascojace should totally get married and i was sobbing like NO THAT WASN'T WHAT I MEANT AT ALL

vinzack: i just can't see it. sorry. i believe in mira supremacy but that might be bc i'm gay and i would date mira if zack doesn't

phew that was a lot LMAO but it had to be said! once again thank you for the ask curious anon feel free to come back to ask more!

SUEP (it’s 6am bye) BUT !!!!! 🌱 idol bffs or fav work (i think we all know the answer to this giggles) WHICHEVER U WANNA DO !!!!!!!

good morning but also i think it is not 6am anymore btw love the nickname im officially Suep now !!!! anyways this post is gonna be dedicated to .. drum roll please … 🥁🥁🥁 .. STAR LOOOOOOOOST <3

btw these photos r just my favorite boys 😓 ofc hanji first bc i got him on the uquiz but ok ok i know i’ve ranted abt it enough and ure probably SICK of me but this single-handedly almost inspired me to go back to my smau roots like YES … i have a plot in mind. idk if i’ll go through with it but this smau reminded me of how fun it was making them and reading (this is the first one i’ve properly read in MONTHS believe it or not). every character u had was so on point and the humour was ltrly right up my alley i kept cackling. i read it for approx 3-4 hours since i started eating dinner until almost midnight when i fell asleep n it was just so ??? and don’t even get me started on the written parts. they were so vivid and so many parts stuck out to me like the axial point zeroing in on jeongin and how long it took silly yn to grab that piece of paper on the ground to the cafe scene to their first KISS like please please end me actually like please i love it so much !!!! i will never ever get sick of talking about star lost 😭 one of my favorite smaus on here i’m so happy i found it like it genuinely brings me so much comfort n it felt so realistic even tho it was a soulmate au ?? like the characters felt so Human im not making sense am i but i love star lost thank u for listening

let me also rant abt my fav boys. HANJI ok wait i’m kind of speechless but we both kind of text the same and react the same so i love him n i saw myself in the smau as him I KNOW SOOO SILLY i love their little han river date .. they are indeed platonic soulmates. changbin is honestly just best MAN i need him in my life please yn MOOOOOOVE !!! it’s my turn to have changbin. the cuddling .. i giggled. and lee know’s whole being father of 4 like i can HELP !!! I CAN HELP !!! haha kidding i’m crazy 🙁🙁🙁 anyways a big smooch i especially love the bit where he was like he’s so great isnt he i raised him !!! oh and special shoutout to seungmin my singer AND jeongin the man of the hour <3

ok final done i’m done i swear i’m done i love star lost

[aeroaloe]

crazy to me that people have this idea that soulmates must be platonic. because while i wouldnt say i believe in soulmates and am far more for "we forge our relationships for ourselves", the only person to ever make me question that is my platonic best friend who openly tells her boyfriend that she loves him but me and her are literally soulmates. like. so sorry but platonic love can be amazingly powerful btw

Hey babe❤ just passing by to ask when are u going to accept got7 requests lol. Also are twin flames different from soulmates? Arent twin flames just a different type of soulmates? Cuz i am confusion😭😭😭 love your blog btw. You're doing great!🎀🎀🎀

I'm accepting got7 requests, I'm just doing old request because I was in a 3 month hiatus. I needed to rest.

Twin flames VS Soulmates

About twin flames and soulmates (and also kindred spirits), let's talk about the difference.

We have a lot of soulmates in our lives, they could be romantic, or platonic. If you are with your soulmate doesn't equal that you are with your twin flame.

The signs that you are with your soulmate are that the relationship feels fated, the conversation flows easily, you two are comfortable with each other, and they are your comfort zone.

Kindred spirits are people who are connected by similar interests, morals, and values.

But twin flame we have only one and they are a mere reflection of ourselves in another person which means they are your soulmate. The journey to your twin flame is not easy. We have signs that tell us we are going to meet our tf flame soon. Also there's different steps until you reunite with your tf.

How to manifest

If you want to manifest your tf or your soulmate use the rule 3-6-9, write your wishes 3 times, say it 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon and 9 times in the evening and take action in what you're believe in.

NAT OMG! i can't believe your writing, it is so fascinating the way that you make us all feel while we are reading your story. I just love it so much <3 This kind of stories are the main reason i keep reading and they give me motivation to go through with my day.

I really can't stop smiling/crying because of this chapter. It was so full of emotions, i was really going from joy to tearing up in just 2 seconds.

Can we please talk about the way they were all together at night because of the excitement, that was so freaking cute my lil babies. And i can't say i weren't sad about reg and james not spending anytime together before the actual heist, but that lil bit gave me the hint that neither of them was dying on this chapter because they deserve having a goodbye if one of the does eventually fufill the MCD tag (which i still can't quite comprehend, but i love u and your writing so i am trying to be understanding untill the "event" happens). And let's not even begin talking about sirius and james being besties for a minute there, they were made to be platonic soulmates. Whoever, i am still suspicious of sirius (thanks to my trust issues). On the other hand, you literally had no right to make pandora talk about effie??? so uncalled and sad, literally criying, screaming and throwing up about that (james i see u). Still crying over regulus telling james to just shut the fuck up, because i was thinking the exact same thing in that moment. I really hope the police won't catch them while they're getting on the plane, or else i am throwing hands. And please, PLEASE don't let james die cause og the shot he got, i am begging you to let sirius black, for once, be absolutely right about anything, and that being james wound just superficial. please have some mercy on us and let the black brothers keep james potter in this universe </3

kay, that's it! thank u for everything that u give us, i am so excited about next chapter (btw do u have an aproximate date for the release?? not trying to hurry u at all, just me being my anxious self.

HIII!!! What the heck, this is literally so nice :,)) I am literally so over the moon that I can make anyone feel anything with my writing, ohmygosh <333

It started out really sweet and then,,, so much happened!! So many things !! A lot of them not so sweet hahaha!! All of them being together because of excitement and nerves and everything is so personal to me,, bc every knows how everyone else is feeling and just being together is such a comfort :,))

The mcd will now be referred to as “the event” from here on out hahah! It’s so ominous that way and I love it!!

Sirius and James just have these moments where they click and they just get each other and understand each other when they’re both not trying so hard to figure each other out and those moments >>>>>>> they are soulmates!!

James is the ultimate mama’s boy, nothing is going to cut him deep like bring up Euphemia,, 🥺😭

Regulus telling James to shut the fuck up,, so relatable,,, he said absolutely not. Don’t try me, hoe.

Next chapter will have some answers! And it should hopefully be out within a week?? so next Monday?? (I say that but I ask for 1/2 days lenience just in case!! haha)

Thank you again :)) <3333

hey! I'm the same anon of the soul question. I'm not trying to convince you or anything (and I know that if I start by saying this it looks like I am actually trying to do it but please, believe me, I don't! I'm just curious) but across the years there were many things that didn't have proof of their existence but still did exist. and now we have proof of it because we studied them, we researched.

sooo basically this turned the discussion from the soul topic to the limits of our knowledge one but... what I mean is. everything can be studied, I think that not setting up limits to knowledge is what distinguishes a genius from the rest. I am not saying this to say that your reason doesn't make sense of something like that, btw!! I just think that everything could be the topic of studying. and your blog sparks so much emotion that for some reason, it's strange to know you don't believe in souls. I think I may link you to the concept of soulmates a lot, since I was quite surprised by this information ahaha

ps. also. there are many definitions of what a soul could be before even questioning if it exists or not. I think I have lost the thread of this discussion and I did this by myself in your ask box, I'm so sorry. I just talk a little too much, and I've been trying to write a sort of essay on this topic since last year, so I enjoy talking about this kind of stuff way too much, I recognize it. I hope it didn't bother you!!

Oh I'm not bothered at all, this is what my blog is for!!!!! You see that's what bugs me about souls: there are so many discussions about what a soul could be, not what it is. And above all, I can't start solving a puzzle that I won't ever be able to solve. Not entirely. I use the term soulmate as something a little bit different? I don't think things happen for a reason, I think people make them make sense and by that give them reason. I think it's all about what we do. It's that concept of soulmates being made. That's what I believe in. When two people meet they are just two people making a connection, there's no string connecting them before they decide to tie it between them. Because most of all, I believe in choice. So when I obsess over platonic soulmates excellence or "invisible stringing", what I mean is: I met you and understood you and you met me and understood me and we got here in spite of the cruelties of the world and we chose each other. It's about choice. That's what I meant when I said how I believe in souls as a metaphor. When I say soulmates, I mean companionship and understanding. I mean all these little things that make somebody similar to someone else, not because some unknown force made them that way, but because they influenced each other by sharing thoughts, ideas and experiences.

I know about the pre-existence theory, I know these things technically can be studied, but... that's the kind of studying that just couldn't satisfy me as a person. The very idea behind souls is that they're non-material. What substance are they made of then? If they exist they have to be made of something. Simple negation of a statement, in this case "souls don't exist", isn't enlightening. It's just a statement. There isn't any weight to it. Believing in souls would require me to believe that there's mental activity that's entirely disconnected from the brain which is something I'm willing to believe in only if there's a (even a mere!) possibility of it being true. (trust me, if I had even a little something to work with here, I'd be on it, obsessing and travelling to soul-sights) It's too big of a thing just to be simply accepted without any kind of specific element, any specific knowledge, just a tiny little clue from an external source. I'm willing to learn, I'm just not willing to accept something as the truth without any confirmation or a clue as to why it should be true. "I think not setting up limits to the knowledge is what separates genius from the rest" I agree! But isn't the very concept of souls something that's supposed to be believed in, not studied or ever fully understood? A soul shouldn't be confused with the mind. Because you can believe in something that goes beyond the mind without necessarily calling it a soul. You can think there's something more to being human than just brain chemicals without believing in souls. I don't think souls are real. But do you know what I do know is real? People believing in them. That's real. And it's exactly the believing part that's the most valuable to people. Proving the nature of souls, no matter the outcome, would take the believing part away from people. And then they'd find something else to believe in without any proof. That's what I meant when I said: souls are something people made up to feel better about being human. There's no material reason for that concept to exist, no initial observation that sparked that thought. There's only people needing to believe in something bigger than they are, that there's something more to life. I think life is not as little or unimportant tho. I think life is what you make of it. I think living and being here is important. And all these interesting things waiting to be discovered and understood!!!!! Right here! I don't need to believe in souls, in something that's gonna outlive me and has already outlived me before I was born. Maybe it's just that it takes a certain amount of control away from me. But I genuinely think living this one life and being here just this one time and making whatever I want of that is far more meaningful.

 ATLA Fic Rec 

because I've been spending way too much time reading it. Btw, this is a rec for gen fics and zukka fics.

Note: an asterisk after the description means that the fic or series is incomplete. (Sadly, this is a lot of them, but I'm pretty sure most of these fics are still currently updating.)

GEN:

Anything by MuffinLance is a must-read. my personal favourites are Salvage (where Hakoda ends up with one (1) grumpy new prisoner/crewmate/adopted son) and Little Zuko v the World (where Zuko is 12, and it's adorable).

The Family You Choose by TunaFishChris is a god-tier platonic soulmate au about zuko and the gaang, so like...go read that right now

The kintsugi series by discordiansamba is an AU where Toph's parents hire Zuko-as-Lee to be a bodyguard for her, and I love it so much. It has some of the best Toph-and-Zuko sibling bonding I've ever seen. *

Dragon Moon by Satirrian is a Dragon! Zuko AU and it's incredible. It also features Bounty Hunter Zuko, so do with that what you will. *

The What We're Given series by Haicrescendo is *chef's kiss*. It's an AU where Zuko flipped his father off early on into his banishment and started living his best life with Iroh. Enter the Gaang. Shenanigans ensue. *

The Internment series by Hannahmayski is another Zuko breaks free from his dad early AU, and it's also really good. Basically, Zuko was never given the option to capture the Avatar, making his banishment indefinite. He sails around with his crew fighting the Fire Nation and it's great. *

The best way to solve your problems (is to help someone else) by hewwodarkness is an AU where kids start disappearing in Ba Sing Se during Book 2, and Zuko takes it upon himself to do a little vigilantism. It's fantastic. *

The Blue Spirit AU series by H_Faith_Marr is an AU starting from, surprise surprise, the Blue Spirit episode. The Gaang takes in Zuko without knowing who he is, and the Power of Friendship™ goes to work on Zuko. *

The the first rule of earth kingdom fight club... series by ohmygodwhy is an AU where Zuko, among other things, fights in underground cage matches, meets Toph early, and realises that his dad might be wrong. It’s pretty funny and really good. *

The The Non-Existent Twin series by FoiblePNoteworthy is hilarious. It's an AU where Zuko poses as his own twin, Li, and the Gaang buys it hook line and sinker. *

The Guilt (The Jet Adopts Zuko AU) series by FoiblePNoteworthy is also really good. Like the title says, it’s a Zuko joins the Freedom Fighters AU. *

The new ways series by blueseam is just a Zuko and the Gaang bonding fic, mostly set in the Western Air Temple, with a side of Zuko not taking care of himself and the Gaang stepping up to the job. If you’re like me and am an absolute sucker for Zuko and the Gaang, go read this.

The Family Matters series by WinterSky101 is a really good fic if you’re looking for Hakoda and Zuko. That’s all I have to say: Hakoda and Zuko.

a nation, held by snowdarkred is a GREAT Fire Nation & Zuko fic - set before and during canon, not after it. Go read it, right now.

Notable mentions: a lot of works by naggeluide are gen and pretty funny, though if you don't headcanon any of the characters as LGBT+ you might not like some of them.

ZUKKA:

anything by Haicrescendo and dickpuncher420. For Haicrescendo, my personal favourite is the Carry On For You series, and for dickpuncher420, it’s love language.

sirens & sleepless nights by Satirrian is a modern AU that just borders on dystopian. Ba Sing Se has been overtaken by the Fire Nation, Zuko is a soldier who broke away from the Fire Nation and got shot for it, and Sokka finds Zuko on the street and brings him inside. It’s amazing, go read it!

do you take this jerk to be (your one and only) by jatersade is a fic that I’m 90% sure is on every zukka fic rec list, and it deserves to be. It’s an arranged marriage AU where Zuko is engaged to Yue, and Sokka is his cultural guide. *

midnight runs and other things by isamagicdragon is a modern AU where Zuko keeps sleepwalking into Sokka’s apartment. Shenanigans ensue. Also, top-tier Zuko, Mai and Ty Lee interactions. *

Unchained Melody by avocadolove is another fic that I see a lot on rec lists, and it 100% deserves it. It’s a long fic (as of now, it’s at 63.8k) and is an AU where Sokka, after getting taken to the Spirit World by Heibai, ends up as a ghost that only Zuko can see. Ft. great enemies-to-friends-to-lovers and an incredible plot. *

Ozymandias, King of Kings by Think_of_a_Wonderful_Thought is SO good. It’s an AU where, instead of being banished, Zuko was sent to work in a coal mine/prison, which eventually becomes the target of a Water Tribe raid after Aang’s return. It can get pretty dark, so watch out for that, and it’s really long (as of now, 168.8k). But trust me, it’s worth it. *

Heart Beat Here by thefangirlingdead is an adorable Modern AU oneshot where Zuko, while shopping for engagement rings with Katara, freaks out when Sokka lies about where he is. It’s a happy ending, don’t worry. One of my favourite fics.

feels like we only go backwards by oldpotatoe and A Certain Slant of Light by JustGettingBy are both amnesia fics where Sokka loses his memory several years after the war. They’re both so, so good. A Certain Slant of Light is finished, but feels like we only go backwards is not.

reality strikes, so bring back the night by zukkababey is a time-travel oneshot where Western-Air-Temple Sokka wakes up in the future to find his older self married to one (1) Fire Lord Zuko. Fluffy and funny. 

maybe i just see you (in everything) by epicbubbles is a really cute Modern AU oneshot with love confessions and just fluff all around. 10/10 go read it!!

it’s the illusion of separation by argentoswan is a fic that has legendary status and it absolutely deserves it. God-tier Modern AU where Sokka ends up working at the Jasmine Dragon alongside his former high school bully, Zuko. (Kind of) enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, and it’s just...SO good. *

say you like your shirt soggy by crosspin is a reallyyy nice 5+1 fic. It’s Modern AU, and it’s pretty short (3.7k), but the amount of yearning that gets packed into that 3.7k,,,,*chef’s kiss*

and they were roommates by flydunes is another Modern AU where sokka puts up an ad for a roommate. Zuko moves in, and Sokka gets a crush. It’s just good vibes all around :) *

like blood from a stone by catalinacat is a Soulmate AU that took a completely different direction with the soulmate trope. The summary does a better job of explaining it than I can. *

absence of heat, excess of destiny by theycallmesuperboy is one of the best soulmate AUs out there. it’s not too long, only 4.3k words, but it covers the entire series and then some. Seriously, go read this.

it isn’t strange, but it’s true by theholyterror is a 5+1 post-canon fic with some of the best pining I’ve ever seen, ft. Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko. The 5+1 is times Zuko went out of his way to touch Sokka.  *

like the sun inside of you by ofherlionheart is another post-canon fic, and it’s incredible so far. the first chapter alone is 23k, so it’s already a decently long read. *

the stemverse: earth science zuko au series by acezukos is a REALLY good Modern/University AU. So far, it only has one work (earth system history) but that work is already *chef’s kiss*. The series is incomplete, but earth system history is complete!

rebellion’s such a hushed affair by zeitgeistofnow is a fantastic Modern AU that, like sirens & sleepless nights, borders on dystopian. Actually, I think it is dystopian, but it hasn’t been tagged as such. Anyway, 10/10, go read it right now immediately

Mark Time by foil is a Modern AU where Sokka ghosted Zuko years ago, and they get brought back together by Aang and Katara’s wedding. It’s really good, but the fic has some pretty heavy content, so make sure you read the warnings. *

That birds would sing and think it were not night by HisMomoness is a Modern AU that has Zuko tutoring Sokka, with absolute top-tier pining. Like, seriously, the pining is insane. Superr good

this love burns so yellow (becoming orange and in its time, exploding) by meliebee is one of the best post-canon fics I’ve ever read. It features a civil war in the Fire Nation (that gets resolved about halfway through) and some great Toph and Zuko interactions, as well as some Grade A pining. 

boy problems by burnt_oranges is FANTASTIC post-canon and has sokka and zuko in an accidental arranged marriage, plus some attempted assassinations. It’s great.

zuko vs the homie sexual agenda by parmigiano has Zuko and Sokka pining for each other in Ikea. Do I need to say more?

Friendship Bracelets by peachcitt is a Modern AU best friends to lovers. Pretty short (4.9k), but the pining is immaculate.

isn’t this the vision that you wanted by nebulastucky is INCREDIBLE, I read it recently because it just got completed and it’s *chef’s kiss*. It’s post-canon ft. mutual pining and some reallyyy good ‘and there was only one bed’ scenes.

Real Slow and no one knows anything but us by surveycorpsjean and quidhitch respectively are two of my favourite post-canon Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko fics. Go check them out!

The Duke’s a Hazard by naggeluide is a really nice AU starting from the Western Air Temple, where the Duke decides that Sokka and Zuko are now his new parents. They bond over coparenting, and the (kind of) enemies-to-friends-to-lovers is really good. Plus, it’s funny.

Those Who Favor Fire by CSHfic and VSfic is a really good fic of the Spymaster Sokka AU. If you don’t know what that is, it’s an AU where Sokka fakes his death and goes undercover in an organisation that wants to kill Zuko.

Fics I added after posting (so far, all Zukka):

The Road Between Action and Inaction by Donvex is a fic that I can't believe I left out the first time?? It's a modern hitchhiking AU and it's great.

Rituals of the Ocean Floor by Donvex is a nice one too. It's only around 2.2k words, but it's a Fox Spirit!Zuko and Sharkman!Sokka AU, and I just really like the writing style.

by the stars above, i knew we were in love by theycallmesuperboy and The Fate of Nations in Our Hands by sapphic_ambitions are both top-tier post-canon fics. Be warned: by the stars above is a liiiittle bit angsty.

blue's clues by parmigiano is a really good Modern AU where Sokka, a university student journalist, gets ahold of the phone number of the Blue Spirit, a new campus vigilante. He ends up talking to the Blue Spirit to get an interview out of him, and it's really cute!

Honourable mention: the Avatar Zuko series by the_cloud_whisperer is one of the best series I've ever read, and it's really long - it got completed about a month ago, with 493.6k words in total (415k if you ignore the extra work made up of author's notes). It develops all the characters really well, especially Lu Ten, but the main ship is Zukaang. Personally, my biggest problem with Zukaang is the age difference, and Aang is aged up to be Zuko's age (or older, I think? I don't really remember) in this. I kept reading it because the plot was too good to give up, and I do highly recommend it, but yeah.

I’ll add more fics if I remember them, but this is what I had bookmarked. Also, shameless self plug here because I also write ATLA fic @ azenki on ao3
