everyone i meet is like 12 or 30 w two kids PLS guys I cant go back to those friendships the schedules drove me insane

"Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?"

I do, and I absolutely think Korra talked to Zuko about her bisexuality. I love the idea of Zuko telling her about all of his and Sokka's misadventures, and considering the popular theory that Sokka (potentially) died protecting Korra from the Red Lotus, I think Zuko would have taken extra care to be a mentor to her. He saw so much of himself and Sokka in Asami and Korra.

Anyway this is red/blue bi4bi mlm-wlw solidarity for the @redandbluegaycompetition. You have to vote for them both tho or it doesn't work. Vote Korrasami here. Vote Zukka here.

[jak--ash]

I get the zukka appeal. But I think sokka/suki and zuko/mai are the ultimate bi4bi couples. They are the 4 quadrants of bisexuality one can fall into. And they all kiss.

bi4bi Zukka my beloved.

[hella1975]

I HONEST TO GOD BELIEVED CHENAS KNIFE BEING MISSING BECAUSE OF TOM NOOK WAS GOING TO BE CHENAS DOWNFALL AND KILL HIM AT THE LAST LINE 😭😭😭😭😭 besides that fucking horror I am overwhelmed by the sweetness and the emotional pain this chapter was <3 <3 <3 zukka was cute (SOKKA BEING PROTECTED AND A LOSER BISEXUAL TEEN BOY), tom nook keeps winning (BI4BI KINGS LEGENDS LOSERS CANT CHANGE MY MIND) and also the AMAZING transition of words in zukos mindset that I think is going to change a LOT for him. "good or bad" can't exist, and even when zuko was being silly and avoiding sokkas answers (cuz he's emotionally constipated lmao) was to me a smaller example that people don't fit into categories like that? It was super surface level there, but when you go deeper into it it's really not that simple and zukos perception of that is completely warped because he HAS done bad things, and the self-hatred and shame of that has convinced himself there is only one category. It's BEAUTIFUL I love it and I'm excited <3

Anyways, lastly I request you stop making me sob every time hakoda touches zukos scar. Stop it entirely. It's literally devastating knowing that zuko had just a small essence of hope his father was going to touch him before he burned him and now he thinks of violence every time and another father appears in his life and his touch is always warm and kind and not burning and I'm losing my mind over here JUST STOP IT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good fic top tier goodbye

WHY IS EVERYONE SO SURE IM JUST GONNA KILL EVERYONE SOMETIMES A GUY LOSES A KNIFE AND IT MEANS NOTHING DID YOU THINK OF THAT

also LOVE ur understanding of the sword metaphor bc even what you said about sokka is true; like as much as sokka ultimately falls into zuko's very rigid cataegory of 'good', he's still not easily forgiving and he can be mean and snappish and has a lot of characteristics zuko sees in himself, and of course if they're a Zuko Characteristic in his mind, then they HAVE to be bad, so what gives? it's interesting to me bc in book 1 zuko had effectively come to the conclusion that both swords = balance and that was a GOOD thing, like we see it in his talk with hakoda in ch13, but it's something he's having to relearn with a much broader worldview and some really horrible experiences and this chapter was HUGE for his progress in that regard.

"literally devastating knowing that zuko had just a small essence of hope his father was going to touch him before he burned him and now he thinks of violence every time and another father appears in his life and his touch is always warm and kind and not burning" I JUST WOKE UPPPPPP i dont want to think about them *thinks about them thinks about them thinks about them thinks about-*

[the-land-of-dreams]

maitara maizulee and sukka for ship bingo?

IM SO FUCKING SORRY I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS ASK

maitara:

i...admittedly haven't really thought much about this one? i don't think it's bad or anything im open to it i just have no idea what it would even be like lol

maizulee:

IM CRAZY FUCKING INSANE FOR THEM LIKE. OMG. THE FIRE GIRLS MAN. mailee is really good, tyzula is great, maizula is spectacular, mix it all together and I LOSE MY MIND. like undeniably their dynamic has some issues they would need to work out if a relationship between them would ever be healthy but I BELIEVE IN THEM!!! also like, toxic sapphic girl group dynamics are also very fun to watch lol. but i think they deserve to be happy. what if we were a bunch of teen prodigies born into noble families that treated us like shit in various ways and we were stuck in a really fucked up situation but we loved each other in a weird distant kind of unhealthy way because that was the best that we knew how to love. hm. what would we do then. idk i have a lot more thoughts on them i cant articulate but just FEJDSKFJLAGLKJGHDJKAHSA

sukka:

tbh i dont typically think of them as end game (not by any virtue of the pairing itself i'm just a slut for zukka and suki having like, three girlfriends) BUT i do enjoy them very much! Bi4bi power couple of all time

[karlachfan86]

umm suki and sokka.for the ask game :-)8

hay gluestick watersofdynami,

i think theyre cute!!! second favorite sokka ship for me personally (sorry im a zukka guy forever) but i do appreciate it and i think they ate.. bi4bi couple

[alfredolover119]

four hours left of this round. zukka holds strong. looks like sukka is gonna pull through against kataang. this poll proves that sokka lovers hold supreme in this world <3

alright zukka nation. we're in the last round of the semifinals. tomorrow we go into the FINALS. we got rid of z/tara, and we are almost rid of all the other abusive ships. vote for whoever you want now. but tomorrow... tomorrow...

we must show up in record numbers. it will be a hard fight, either zukka vs sukka or zukka vs kataang. all formidable ships, of course. the battle has only just begun.

[onmyliteraturebullshitagain]

20 for the ask game!! (Also I’ve been following your midwest bi zukka stories since the very beginning and I absolutely adore them!! They have a soecial place in my heart as a midwesterner. The characterization and plots are *chef’s kiss*)

Aww that makes me so happy!! 🥰 I can't believe you've been along for this whole ride and are still here! I so appreciate you, and I'm glad you've continued to enjoy it and feel the Midwest vibes :)

So I sort of answered #20 before, but I think I've got more I can say about it, so here we go!

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about.

So since you brought up Midwest Zukka, I've got a one for that that I've been enjoying. A few people have noticed it, but it's the way the two guys use pet names for each other. Sokka's very liberal with endearments of all different kinds (although he only calls Zuko "turtleduck" when he's teasing him, never in a serious romantic way) but Zuko is very few and far between with his pet names and only uses "sweetheart" and, in truly tender or serious moments, "love/my love." They also both indiscriminately use platonic pet names for each other ("bud," "buddy," "dude," etc.), because what is a bi4bi relationship if not calling your partner "bro" and "darling" in the same sentence?? Haha.

Also, since I tend to keep ahead with my writing, I do try to sprinkle foreshadowing through the series to what might occur in future installments. So that's some fun little spice for me that no one else notices :) Oh, and there are MANY past references within the series, specifically as it's gotten longer. Running inside jokes (the mismatched flipflops, if the cats would eat them if they died), OCs we see sprinkled in frequently throughout (Zuko's coworkers, their neighbors), and just weird little character traits that weave in and out (character's texting styles, Zuko's love of spicy food, Sokka's use of post-it notes). So do those count as metas I can ramble about? Idk but there they are, and it does always make me smile when people pick up on goofy little things like that!

Thanks for this ask! Hope you enjoyed, friend!

[zukkaoru]

Sokka ❤?

zukka (obviously): they are my number one. my everything. my sun and my moon and my stars. it's about being made to feel like you'll never be allowed to find love, and then finding it for yourself anyways. it's about always putting everyone else's happiness before your own and then learning how to make your own feelings a priority too. it's about the idiots to lovers and the red & blue gays and the sun & moon dynamic. it's about the this could never work and we're going to make this work because i love you and i can't imagine a future without you in it. it's about the infinite potential for both happy endings and angst. it's about the fact that i can never resist a ship in which their love language is petty bickering.

yuekka: how could i resist a "we can't be together" + tragic love affair ship? they're cute. and also sokka "i'm just a guy with a boomerang" "i'm nothing special" of the southern water tribe falling in love with the literal moon? and her loving him back because he is special and he is important? chef's kiss.

sukka: i prefer them as friends but i do think they're cute. the bi4bi m/f ship blueprint. and their scenes at serpents pass had me 🥰🥺 when i was first watching the show

send me a character + a heart and i'll tell you who i ship them with/why

[dykejet]

bi4bi zukka

[circlique]

If you're here for zukka, know that I plan to draw it again soon! (literally have an unfinished zukka piece sitting in my drafts) Right now I'm just hyperfixating on the other best bi4bi ship.

[sokkagatekeeper]

Zuko and Sokka for ask game :)

a song that reminds you of them

ok i was just listening to @littlespoonsokka's zukka mitski playlist so like. all of those. but especially first love/late spring. nour has a post somewhere in drafts about how it's a tbr zukka song and like.... “please hurry leave me i can't breathe please don't say you love me”. yeah.

an otp

zuko: zukka! for me the simplest way to explain why i find the ship so compelling is that they have similar struggles (their relationships with masculinity, feelings of inadequacy compared to their prodigy younger sister, etc) and interests (swords, literature, general nerdiness, etc) that they can bond over, and yet have opposing flaws (sokka's perfectionism vs zuko's impulsivity, sokka's pessimism vs zuko's almost naïve idealism, sokka's emotional repression vs zuko's oversharing tendencies, etc) that they can help each other improve with.

sokka: also zukka of course, but sukka invented bi4bi relationships and yuekka is thee epic romance of atla.

a notp

zuko: zvtara, because 1. their relationship is more compelling to me if i read them as siblings, 2. they're so similar in ways i think would not be conducive to a healthy relationship, and 3. zuko gay. & maik0, because imo their romance is super compelling precisely because they're both gay and not good for each other, and how their relationship therefore showcases the fire nation's repressive nature and mai and zuko's responses to it.

sokka: i mentioned this when i answered this ask game for toph, but t0kka.

favorite platonic/familial relationships

zuko: god there are so many to choose from... i'm gonna go with katara for now. i love their relationships so so much. siblings, besties, the ultimate straight-girl-and-her-gbf (with the same taste in guys...) friendship.

sokka: i'm gonna go with katara for this one too! they are truly the best siblings ever, individually and as a set.

the position they sleep in

ok we're #LittleSpoonSokkaBigSpoonZuko truthers on this blog but beyond that, i think the way that sokka sleeps all sprawled out in “the puppetmaster” is so funny

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with

how could i choose just one but:

zuko: that he's “the responsible one” whether that's in the gaang or in his relationship with sokka. like this isn't so much a headcanon as it is a complete misreading of his character but uuuugh it annoys me so much

sokka: that he becomes an ambassador to the fire nation... like there are so many things he would do that are not that. he should travel, go to university, become a pai sho master, invent new scientific fields, write poetry, and yes, he would help zuko (and katara) with their jobs leading nations. but often “ambassador sokka” is just a more polite sounding way of saying “prince consort sokka” which is. disgusting & racist

a crossover au i’d love to see them in

the first thing that comes to mind is this..... idk if “inside joke” is even the right term for it, it's too convoluted for that.. that an irl friend and i have about zuko & sokka as ryan & chad in high school musical 2. like their characters aren't even that similar but. it's a whole thing that this friend and i have spent several hours of our lives talking about.

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn

kyoshi warrior and blue spirit!!
