#I was genuinely so confused when zutara was brought up and my words were twisted THAT badly 😭

I'm possibly about to start a catfight with this late ass reply but who cares lmao

first of all...That post was NEVER about Zutara. Where did anyone get the idea I was trying to defend Zutara? It was about how I find the defenders annoying and WHY I find it badly written. Never was it about Zutara- where did anyone get that idea??? 😭It was more specifically on why I find Maiko defenders to be annoying personally. Also, the post wasn’t necessarily talking about why I don’t think Zuko and Mai’s personalities don’t go together but why I find it BADLY WRITTEN. Don’t you dare try to twist my words- 💀

What I’m saying is that some Maiko shippers say it like Mai is the ONLY one to make Zuko happy. Keyword: ONLY. I do acknowledge the scenes of Zuko smiling at Mai while they’re cuddling, but I’m just saying, that doesn’t mean he is his HAPPIEST or that his ONLY happy moments are with Mai. Iroh, the Gaang, etc all exist. “The irony of Zutara shippers acting like Zuko not bringing up Mai for two episodes, while he’s on a mission to save the word, means he does not love her.”

Once again: not about Zutara but okay!! Second: I’m not saying he has to bring her up constantly or some shit like that. I’m just saying it’d be nice if the creators added some kind of scene of either Zuko freeing Mai, or him at least worrying about her while she’s in the Boiling Rock. Why? To sell it to me more that they really care for each other. I’m not saying they don’t care for each other but I’m just saying, they could’ve done WAYY better selling it with good writing and scenes. That’s what I mean about Maiko, it doesn’t have enough scenes to be good at least to me. Similar to how in the fountain flashback we only see Mai’s pov, which was why the kiss in S3 ep 1 was so sudden and fell flat/unexpected for many people. Again: not saying they don’t care for each other! I’m saying they could’ve done way better selling it. Such as, having a tiny scene of Zuko worrying for Mai after the BR.

Also, once again:

Where did I mention Zutara??? 😭
