[thief-of-eggs]

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*

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

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

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."

Jetko ISN'T!!! "Me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic". It's "Me and the autist I pulled by being a bad bitch"

Know the fucking difrence.

I love Zukka food conversations?

Zuko HAS known hunger but he’s also had all the food he’s ever needed served to him on a silver platter for the majority of his life

Sokka was responsible for feeding his entire village from way too young an age

Zuko has dealt with ARFID/autism-related texture issues his whole life and feels extremely guilty because of his “privilege to be picky” (he’s rarely been fully healthy regardless)

Sokka teaching Zuko to fish and hunt because it’s super important to Zuko not to be helpless while on his own again

Sokka expressing his own guilt to Zuko of the winters when there wasn’t enough food for everyone to go around. How he felt responsible. How he gave almost all his food to Katara so she wouldn’t have to know what real hunger was

Both of them getting a bit of chub as adults because they are finally in a position where they CAN

Round 2: Gregory House vs Prince Zuko

Propaganda is encouraged, and may I remind you of the arc where House starts fights with his friends about a blood stained carpet being replaced?

[starboysbrainrot]

sometimes I feel bad for the sun warriors that had to watch Aang and Zuko bicker over sharing a flame (and stealing a golden egg prior to that) and who were probably thinking :

“okay so the fate of the whole world is in the hands of the avatar and the future fire lord. who happen to be two idealistic audhd. fuelled by big dreams and big feelings. with way too much hope. and absolutely no idea on what they are doing. great.”

[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.

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))
