sokka: zuko? zuko buddy you with us

zuko: (holy shit am i gay??)

[stardust948]

Katara: Can I ask you a question?

Zuko: Yeah, what's up?

Katara: What was your favorite thing to learn about as a kid?

Zuko: Oh theater lore! Especially obscured ones from the outer islands! Let me tell you, I was obsessed!

Katara: *gets comfortable*

Zuko: I memorized all the stories but my favorite one was about the Dragon King and his Sun bride who...

Zuko: I'm sorry. I don't mean to bore you-

Katara: *grabs his face* Stop that right now! You never have to apologize for talking about something you're passionate about! You wanna know why? Because it's LOVELY. You are absolutely ENDEARING. And I ENJOY listening.

Zuko: *nods*

Katara: *lets go* So, about the Sun Bride?

Zuko: Right! So the Sun Bride was actually a human woman who taught the Dragon King compassion *finishes story*

Zuko: *after Sokka officially asks to court him* Wait… you like me?

Sokka: *has been dropping progressively more and more obvious hints for months* What do you mean ‘you like me?’- Of course I like you!

Zuko: *needs everything spelled out directly in his face before he understands anything* How was I supposed to know?!

-Later-

Sokka: *Still seething* Zuko, we’ve kissed. You’ve had my tongue in your mouth-

Zuko: *crossing his arms* I thought it was as friends!

Sokka: *incoherent screaming*

'Zutara should've happened to subvert the 'hero always gets the girl' trope!!!''Bad boy always gets the girl' is also a trope and one with significantly more misogynistic history than the hero one.Kataang itself is a subversion of how it's usually potrayed to make it feminist with specific writing points to switch up the gender dynamics and thus defy gender roles and sexist stereotypes,including that Katara is also the hero of Atla as much as Aang is,while Zutara calls for the bad boy one to be played straight in a classic faux-feminism move and false attempt at challenging cisheteronormativity.Also Zuko wouldn't have gotten Katara a statue 'unlike Aang' not just because he canonically didn't but also because she would never want one and there is no evidence to suggest she would nor that she finds manliness on men attractive nor that she's a preppy good girl nor that she enjoys playing into maternal roles to anybody except her actual kids or sees Aang as her son nor that she hates other girls her age nor that Zuko wants to burden his girlfriend with all his emotional problems nor be a 'female fantasy' for any girl instead of his girlfriend's boyfriend👍🏼Projecting is for film and y'all're M.Night Shyamalan

On my "Zuko is autistic" agenda:

That one time he decides to leave Uncle Iroh behind and go travel on his own (the first time, on book 2) after Iroh tells him he should figure out his own path in life, and not depend on finding the avatar to feel good about himself, and my boy heard that and went:

"Ah yes, I should go off on my own, because finding my own path obviously means I should path on my own"

The literal thinking got the best of him and you cannot tell me otherwise.

Because like, the second time he does that (after the lighting incident and all) that's for drama, he's being emo and edgy for sure. But this one? He legit went: "I thought about what you said, uncle, and this was the very logical conclusion I came to."

Autistic rizz but it's just making people infatuated with your psyche

[thiirsdaygirl]

zuko sketches

hes STUPID and i HATE him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[transuncletaylor]

Oh look, Zuko gets a three day holiday

[isthei]

in the vein of this post:

zuko has “no social skills and doesn’t care to have them” autism

azula has “hyper-analyze every social situation to make sure i’m making the effect i want” autism

…and ursa has “disappear into the woods for 10 years” autism.

[stardust948]

Zuko is "Briefly glances at you but mostly avoids eye contact" autism.

Azula is "Intense stare into your soul without blinking" autism.

[thief-of-eggs]

Zukka where it’s Sokka with that audhd rizz, Zuko with that autism rizz (aka it’s all- “wanna see my collection of rocks shaped like boomerangs???” and “yeah, ok.” ((they basically just confessed their undying love))
