You know what guys?
In like the first episode of Atla when Zuko captures Aang i genuinely think they'd end up becoming friends even faster than in canon. Like.... Zuko trapped on a boat with Aang for at least several months??? Constant exposure to the sweet eternal sunshine child? Zuko doesn't stand a chance. Also uncle Iroh would not help in the slightest l, he'd be down in the brig having tea with his newest adopted child.
Angsty addon: Aang learns about the Airbender genocide from Zuko and Zuko gets to witness the horror and grief his 'great nation' has caused, first hand. Three cheers for questioning your own morality.
#aang and zuko would speedrun the entire show#all this time the b plot is katara and sokka frantically trying to track down the avatar because they somehow LOST him#avatar aang#avatar zuko#zuko#aang#atla#the last airbender#avatar: the last airbender#avatar#i guess i can tag this as#zukaang#uncle iroh#iroh

So something that I've kinda noticed is how ships tend to have themes, and since I multiship so hard in atla it's really interesting to see the different themes.
Like, zukaang is definitely guilt and forgiveness, with forbidden love probably being the second most popular theme.
Kataang is often centered around loyalty and being best friends.
Zutara seems very centered around mutual understanding.
Zukka is like "he cute :3c" from most of what I've seen jdndndndn
Sokkaang, small as it is, often as a theme of overcoming adversity.
Azulaang theme is 100% temptation.
Obviously, I have more experience with some of these ships than others, but these are the ones that, when I think about them, have these things come up as the binding point between the characters a lot.
Idk, it's interesting, if anyone has any other ideas or know what themes other ships have please feel free to share.

a genuine q why do you ship zuko/aang and zuko/jee? isnt zuko like 17, aang 12 and lieutenant jee like much older than zuko?
I'm not the biggest zukaang shipper, I think they're more platonic soulmates, but in terms of "aang was frozen in the iceberg at 16" aus or post-canon adult zukaang... I think they have a lot of potential. they monopolize, like, almost all of the explicit character parallels in the show (far more than Zuko and Katara or Zuko and Sokka have). they have a "in our past lives it didnt work out but it could for us" thing going on. there's that one official art of adult Zuko and Aang holding hands that looks like they're getting gay married. I get it. I'm not the biggest zukaang guy but zukaangs.... I'll fight for you....
as for jeeko yeah I just like problematic age gap pairings. I think it'd be cool if they fucked. peace and love <3
#allgremlinasks#you can find a similar ask and answer in my jeeko tag. like accept this about me or move on guys idk#jeeko#zukaang#rarepairs

honestly it's really crazy to me that i gained an appreciation of Zukaang back in 2020 during mine/everyone's pandemic watch, but didn't become a hardcore shipper/artist/writer for them for FOUR YEARS. I don't even remember thinking about them between the time, but now all I think about is them in regards to fandom.
i guess i'm blaming the omake for making me so interested in them. it never ends too there's always something more they sneak in the bonus books/clips
#zukaang#sorry to put this in the tag when it's more personal#it was the omake that did it lets be real#is korra considered omake? they said they “knew him better than anyone” there...and i consider the comics + any books omake#zukaang omake never ends quite literally#“these guys might be cute if aang was older- THEY BUILT A WHAT TOGETHER?? THEY HELD HANDS (AS ADULTS???)”#“HIS WHAT BURNS BRIGHTER THAN ANY FLAME WE CAN BEND???"#diary#dumb#legacy of the fire nation

Re-reading the comics and I totally forgot how dark they are
#zuko#zukaang#aang#atla zuko#atla aang#atla#avatar the last airbender#the promise#unpopular opinion maybe but i loved how nothing in this book was cut and dried and how everyones' trauma came back to haunt em#progress isn't linear so i don't mind zuko's behaviour here#he suddenly has a lot more pressure on him and he's obviously scared shitless he'll do the right thing etc. like shit just got real#super sad#aang didn't want to kill ozai but idk he was just being a friend to zuko here because zuko asked it of him#aang was obviously conflicted BUT he also wanted to uphold his duty to the world#which zuko totally sold him on and used as an argument for aang to honour the promise.#i can totally see that happening#i loved the ending too how zuko turned out to be right all along and it was the generational trauma that just convinced him he wasn't right#like is some of the characterization/plot contrived? sure totally! but wow i'm shocked to see how ice-cold the overall reception is#@tumblr stop messing w my tags and sticking them in the post body omg#atla spoilers

"Look, Bumi. Like a Mommy"
My HC of Bumi and (♂️or♀️)Aang, is the one where Bumi actually inherited Aang's uncontrollable hair.
Since I found this sketch in my notebook, I'm going to vent with some general thoughts about Fem!Aang and Bumi
Bumi wasn't planned, Aang has irregular cycles so she didn't think was pregnant.
The first to realize her condition was Appa. Flying bison can detect when their air nomad friend is pregnant, so they tend to be more careful when flying.
Aang felt very nervous when she found out that she was pregnant. She didn't feel ready.
Aang felt alone, air nomads go through pregnancy, birth and grow up in community. Even though she is accompanied by her partner, friends and family of her partner. Her pregnancy made her feel very alone and afraid of being a mother.
Bumi was born during a stormy day, so Aang was even more scared.
Aang has postpartum depression.
Aang began to improve when Bumi made a grimace similar to a smile. That reminded her of a monk who lived in a temple who had no teeth and she started to laugh.
Aang always carried Bumi very carefully, being tall, Bumi seemed much smaller in her large hands.
Even though Bumi doesn't have airbending (for now), Aang always considered him an air nomad.
Aang sang, danced, spoke and told stories in Air Language for Bumi. So the world already had two speakers of the Air language by birth.
#I could say more... but I don't want to go on#I feel like Bumi's relationship would have a lot of meaning if Aang were a woman#Bumi is the son who most resembles Aang... in my opinion#avatar the last airbender#aanglove#aang love#avatar aang#bumi ii#bumi atla#fem!aang#Should I put the tags ZukAang and Kataang?#Anyway... the fem!Aang version is general#She can stay with Zuko. being in an AU where Katara is a boy or his partner is someone else...#I'm just too lazy to make a fanchild...#gotti art

If You're On Mobile:
Click Settings Button
Click "Account Settings"
Click "Content You See"
Add to your “filtered tags” or “post content.”
You can also conveniently block people by clicking the … on the top-right of any post you don't like and then "Block @[whoever you’re blocking]", don't even have to go to their page to do it.
- Sincerely, A Zukaang Shipper
Every time I get recommended a Zuko x Aang post, I get severely upset
And then I check the comments to see if anyone will point out how Aang’s 12 and Zuko’s 16, only for NOBODY to be doing it and instead all the comments are like “OMG SO CUTE!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🤭🤭🤭🤭😍😍😍😍”
YK what I think is cute? You being on a governmental watchlist 😜
#I know you said zukaang shippers dni#but you also asked for a guide on blocking tags#and I know how frusterating it is to be forced to see things that upset you#the filter and block functions are life savers#you can go ahead and practice by blocking me

After the Comet
Some wholesome grown-up Zukaang for y’all 😌 I drew this specifically with a yet-to-be-written scene from The Avatar and the Fire Prince in mind. As the above name suggests, this is when Zuko and Aang reunite after Sozin’s Comet, aged 16-17ish and 15-16ish respectively (though this could honestly be them as adults sometime in the canon timeline too).
As I started to do the finishing touches, I legit made myself pretty giddy with how well (at least I think) I did the expressions lol - especially with Aang, who’s basically got heart eyes 🥺 And then there’s Zuko’s soft little smile 🥺
(can you tell I’m literally insane about my own AU lmao)
This is actually my first time drawing them both in an actively ship-y context - I’d been practicing a lot with just individual portraits and/or poses because I’ve been intimidated by doing more, but now that I’ve done it, I have soooo many other cute fan art ideas 👀 someone is probably gonna have to come pry my tablet out of my hands at some point…
(reposting this bc the tags somehow got fucked up when I had the original post in drafts and I couldn’t fix it)

Inheritance, Zukaang one-shot
Written for @zukaangservercommunity Mini Bingo April 2024 under the (extremely loose interpretation of) prompt, "festival" Summary: Aang and Zuko spend a wine and laughter-soaked night reading through unsent letters from Sozin to Roku on the eve of Aang's 27th birthday festival. Rating: T+
Tags: Angst, Romance, heavy flirting, implied sexual content, no explicit smut, Aged-Up characters, Post-Canon, Aang is 27 & Zuko's 31 Blurb: By tomorrow afternoon there would be hundreds of people from all four nations pouring into the Southern Air Temple to celebrate the festivities of Aang’s 27th birthday celebration. Zuko carved a day out of his schedule to arrive early- he wanted to surprise Aang with a gift. He wrote to him asking if they could spend one day together before the festival- just the two of them. There was an unexpected lurch in Zuko's stomach as he unfurled his letter that read “Come as many days early as you can make time for” in Aang’s flowy script. Word count: 6,712 Read on Ao3

hey there! what's your opinion on zukaang? (either romantically or platonically) ((if romantically, of course imagine them to be aged-up)). i was just wondering because you seemed to have noticed that there are a lot of parallels the show makes between them
sorry if you've answered this before, i just didn't see a zukaang tag on your blog and that's why i'm asking
Don't care for the ship, but can totally see how it'd work. It IS one of the most important dynamics in the whole show after all - and that's why I LOVE their friendship, and get really emotional when they hug in the finale.
Also the entire episode of them meeting the dragons is the funniest fucking thing. Aang calling Zuko sifu hotman, demanding a dance, and saying "I don't care what other people say, you're pretty smart" - leading to Zuko looking all happy before getting grumpy again once he realizes "Wait, that means everyone said I'm dumb as fuck."
Zuko grabbing that goddamn dragon egg even though it's clearly a trap, encouraging Aang and saying he's talented, saying he was his motivation for firebending. Them fighting over that freaking flame, "Still think we can take them?" "I never said that!", doing the same for the dragons then Zuko getting embarrassed as hell having to tell everyone about it.
And finally, this iconic dialogue in which I felt a spiritual bond with Zuko:

this is petty and i truly do support love for them in any form, but can PLATONIC zukaangers please not tag their posts with “platonic zukaang” or “platonic though make sure you know i mean platonic!!!!! PLATONIC!!!!!” like zukaang is the ship name.
& this isn’t a dig abt posts who talk abt their friendship, or meta, or obviously understand the depth of the show and their characters - i’m referring to ppl who HAVE to say/clarify that they mean STRICTLY PLATONIC and in no way would ever mean or insinuate romantic don’t ever infer romance between these two you sick freaks shady posts. like pls. if you mean that & are utterly terrified/disgusted with the possibility of ppl interpreting your post in a NOT platonic way, don’t tag your post with the SHIP NAME.
you’re not the fandom police and nobody cares abt your underhanded purity callouts. let ppl have fun and enjoy things in their own way.
#grimmrambles#zukaang#i honestly dont even want to tag this bc i hate posting negative things#but i keep seeing these types of posts for this ship specifically#like relax karen nobody is over here obtusely shipping children#nobody is gonna call cps on you for tagging something as zukaang without the disclaimer that its PLATONIC#let ppl enjoy things#esp with the ship that the entire show is based on however you slice it
