#im just a zukka stan so

[friedchickenluver]

cw: atla rant

honestly dni w me if u support/tolerate any type of zuko slander/hate/bashing and this is just an in general thing. i really hate it when i go to social media of any kind expecting to enjoy my favorite characters and end up with very distorted/biased views on him.

I love Zuko as a character, he is so complex, and beautifully written as an individual, and I could go on and on all day about him. I’m no shipper of “zukka” “maiko” “zutara” or “zukaang”, and I think it’s honestly wild at how this fanbase is so obsessed with who zuko ends up with, like it has to be some form of projection at this point.

Zuko isn’t ugly or any less attractive because of his scar. Zuko isn’t a terrible firebender, and will somehow never get better at it. Zuko gave life a second chance and proved that anyone truly can change despite their past. Zuko is interesting and valid. Zuko does love his sister, and Azula loves him. Just because he is so often advertised, doesn’t mean he’s any less valid in his abuse or his arc as an individual. Zuko does fuck up, and he always will because that’s what humans do. At the end of the day, Zuko still is just as much as a child like any of the other main characters are and doesn’t deserve to be treated like he’s a full ass adult and understands everything about and in life. Zuko is popular but not overrated.

like im so tired of trying to say this, yes atla is deep, but some opinions on here are just plain fucking stupid and delusional. people cant go one second without degrading another good character when defending a more “underrated” one. It’s a phenomenon that happens with zuko and azula, they both deserve to be happy, but some azula stans make it seem like it was zuko’s fault for everything. or they just bluntly say zuko is nothing compared to her, or how they couldn’t live as normal siblings once more when she redeems herself.

l check accounts, and if i see that u support any of this, u WILL be blocked. I’m serious about this. This blog is a safe space for atla/LOK characters of all. Except ozai.

[zukoisalimpwristgay]

ok i saw this post:

and my brain help me hostage and i came up with an AU that i will never write but im posting cause maybe it already exists and someone can send it to me, or itll inspire someone to write it.

basically:

takes place in the crossroads of destiny starting when katara and zuko are in the crystal cave under ba sing se

aang and iroh show up as they do in the ep

Maybe iroh talks to zuko and he catches up with aang and katara and apologizes and asks to help fight azula.

Or he starts fighting alongside azula (and the rest of the gaang joins the fight, maybe ty lee and mai too [could speedrun mailee betraying azula]) but sees someone get badly hurt 

maybe katara since they just bonded, and sokka cries out for her making zuko see siblings who care about each other 

and maybe he moves to help defend them and azula snipes him with lightning which he fails to redirect kinda like in the final agni kai but memories go bonk

or he gets boomeranged

The later is funnier and would set up for bad guy wakes up on a different side.

Maybe he gets bonked while he and azula start retreating and azula leaves him bc hes just a liability if they dont claim ba sing se. Ozai wont like her teaming up with a failure anyway. 

And maybe aang gets zapped still before zukos bonk so katara is out of spirit water which might help heal zuko’s head. 

azula still conquers the earth kingdom 

The caves start to crumble bc drama and zukos just laying there uncahnchus and iroh pleads them to help him since he wouldnt be able to get him out on his own

And sokka carries him out and once theyre on the surface zuko begins to wake and the gaang had started to walk away but stop when iroh calls for kataras help after zuko woke up disoriented and didnt know his name etc.,;.,,. 

she tries to heal him but it hurts him (a la flwogb and sokkas brain gunk)

so they take iroh and zuko with them to meet back up with hakoda and the WT warriors who are hesitant but accept the avatars insistence

que hakoda adopting redeemed zuko and iroh and hakoda and bato becomin pals with iroh

and maybe aang wakes up early idk

and the gaang has to tell zuko about the war and he (on a freshly wiped operating system) is like “oh shit that sounds awful” 

and they could leave out the fact that he is the fire prince 

or they might tell him idk

And he has to learn stuff from a fresh perspective 

iroh tells him about his banishment and he’s like “what kind of father would do that? Hakoda would never do that to sokka and katara.” 

tells him about his mother and maybe hes angry bc she left him but he is mostly sad that he had to go through his banishment without seeing her for 3 years and such

Zuko starts teaching aang firebending

and maybe before the day of black sun comes sokka wants to find suki and boiling rock 2.0 (no dad boogie woogie woogie) happens and the “my first gf turned into the moon” “thats rough buddy” can be after sokka is talking about suki and how important she is to him

the flight is awkward bc they both are crushing

[goldrushzukka]

im going to be so fucking annoying about this i cannot wait

[lotussokka]

ah yes it is once again time for me to reread i want you to tell me what you want by llap_ping bc nothing else feels right

[trans-estinien]

I want my account to have more followers than it does, but to do that I need to post my own thoughts n shit. But the problem with that is my brain is empty 24/7. And if I want to say something, it has been said 14788042 times over. Sigh. How do yall do it?? I want a fanbase to talk to so then I can finally have friends to talk about my interests with.

[serendipitoustheodosia]

ok but are you just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing or at heart just a little bit of a good person

[hello-yue-here]

Yuetara, zukka, and maiko

yuetara

ship

1) its not one of my main ships. i dont rlly read fanfic for them but if i see a cute fanart of them ill enjoy it and i think i first started shipping it because of good fanarts for them.

2) i like yuetara because of how similar they are. theyre both women from the water tribe. they both understand the misogyny that they have faced. and they both said f sexism im gonna be a strong woman. i also love the tui and la parallel. moon spirit and ocean spirit parallel COME ON. YUE IS THE MOON. KATARA IS THE MOST POWERFUL WATERBENDER. THEY ARE THE OCEAN AND THE MOON. the push and pull they could give eachother. that dynamic ftw.

3) i guess if i didnt like something about this ship would be the fact that if i read a fic or see a fanart w yuetara then than means in that particular au i wont get any yuekka and yuekka is probably my second favorite ship. but then again if i get yuetara than i could get a plethora of other sokka ships to go with it so my sadness disappears in like two seconds. gosh shipping is hard sometimes until you remember ‘hey i have like fifty different universes in my head. all ur ships can coexist in ur brain olivia’ other than that i really see no downsides to this ship. maybe i wish it had more content. maybe if it had more content id ship it a lot more but its not one of the more popular ships so the content is kinda few n far between on my feed.

zukka:

SHIPPP

1) my boys. my babies. my loves. i watched this show for the first time when it came out on netflix and when it ended i really didnt ship anything other than kataang. i came onto tumblr to find fun atla content and one of the very first things i saw under the atla tag was zukka content. i was like oh? whats this? zukka? interesting... i was intrigued so i found a list of fic recs and i fell in love with the ship. the rest is history. its probably my number one ship because it was my very first ship here and im nostalgic

2) oh boy there is so much i like about this ship. i relate to a shit ton of characters in atla. but sokka and zuko may be the ones i relate to most. i relate to sokka because i tend to feel second best a lot to my friends. i try to stay positive but things rarely go the way i plan or hope for them too and while im happy for my friends and their achievements i oftentimes find myself thinking why cant that be me? and i see this a lot in sokka especially in sokkas master. i dont feel special a lot and idk seeing sokka feel the same way and then realizing he is special kinda helped me realize that im special too. on the flipside i relate to zuko because i have wild anger issues and difficulty dealing w my emotions a lot as well. i get broody and short tempered and insecure very often and i tend to push people away and i refuse to ask for help (the amount of teachers and adults and therapists who have told me its okay to ask for help ur not any weaker because of it is astounding. do i listen to them? .....im working on it.) and i saw a shit ton of this in zuko. book one and two zuko rarely asks for help as seen in the blue spirit and zuko alone and he pushes away uncle so many times and even when the gaang iffers to help him in i think its the chase he tells them to leave. when he finally has his redemption and joins the gaang and lets them kinda become a better person i was so happy. i want that for myself yk. seeing him finally win the agni kai and overcome his family that always told him he was nothing was such a win. my sister and i get along but when we were children we were very much like zuko and azula. it was extremely competitive all the time and there was so much toxicity and sibling drama to a concerning extent. we get along great now which im very happy about but yeah their sibling relationship hit a lil too on the nose for me. seeing as i relate to these character so much and want them ti be happy i want to live vicariously through them so seeing them together is amazing for me to project into them. i love projecting onto fictional characters and with them i can project onto BOTH so its a winwin. plus so many zukka fics are so well written and heartwarming and heartbreaking and emotional and fluffy anf UGH the talent here us astounding.

3) what do i not like about the ship? again the list is long. oops. mainly the toxic shippers. there are so many toxic zukka stans that sometimes make it hard for me to enjoy this ship but hey! thats what the block button is for:) i despise how often people infantilize zuko and completely ruin his character for the sake of making him a soft weak lil boy who needs protecting. thats just not zuko for me. and ive seen many many accounts even state that this kind of portrayal of zuko is rooted in racist stereotypes about asian men (now i am white so i personally have never experiences racism but i feel the need to bring that up because it is wrong and attention needs to be brought to it because a lot of poc fans have criticised this) and the same for sokka. some ppl rlly skew his character and make him a big strong brute and hypermasculine and once again poc fans have said that this take is rooted in racist stereotypes. again! these are just my opinions! this is my favorite ship! but i think its important to acknowledge some of the bad parts of our ships as well and be critical where criticism is needed :))

maiko

ship

1) I LOVE MAIKO. “i dont hate you” “i dont hate you too” BRUH. my little heart just burst into flames. im sorry guys but maiko is so cute. they hate everything except eachother. BRUH that is one of the cutest tropes. i shipped them the moment i saw them together onscreen and i was so happy when zukos face lit up in the finale when mai came back.

2) “i hate everything but i have a soft spot for you” TAKE MY MONEY I AM A SUCKER FOR THIS. they are so cute together. like zuko is rarely happy in a majority of atla but mai makes him happy and i- 🥺🥺 HE DESERVES IT. and mai is always so supportive of him. when hes stressing out about the war meeting she tries her best to comfort him. and zuko cares about her too. he may not be the best at showing it but oh my god hes TRYING HIS BEST. i think its a very accurate portrayal of teenage relationships because they arent perfect and they do fight but like,, every teenage relationship does that. and even after everything and how he left her in the fire nation she still had his back at boiling rock. she still risked her life against azula to save his butt.

3) the thing i hate about maiko isnt even about maiko. its about antis who think mai is toxic and that zuko deserves better. that has got to be the worst take ive ever heard. they had a fight in ember island. that is NORMAL. they are teenagers. they are not perfect. but underneath all the rough edges and things they need to work out they still care about eachother so freaking much. i genuinelt believe that neither of them would do anything to intentionally hurt the other and i think thats what matters the most. if anything mai is the best girlfriend in the entire world because zuko fucked up like,, quite a few times. he got rlly jealous and dumped her thru a letter and ppl always say that mai was toxic for being mad at him for those two things. umm she had every right to be mad at him for both of those. and while zuko is allowed to feel his emotions and be angry sometimes as well sometimes he needs to think things thru and realize that hey maybe some if this jealousy is unfounded. BUT EVEN THEN. HE RESPECTED HER FEELINGS AND DIDNT TOUCH HER WHEN SHE SAID DONT TOUCH ME. HE RESPECTED HER. so i hate toxic maiko takes because they are literally so wrong in my opinion.

again all of these are just my opinions!! feel free to agree or disagree but please be respectful!! i will respect whatever u think as well because this is all just for fun :)

Jetko and Zukka ?

jetko - i think this is my fave slash pairing for atla? i definitely ship jetko and maybe one day i’ll write a fic .... maybe

What made you ship it?

i mean i basically watched book 2 and saw how well they worked together on that boat and thought there could be a good story behind it. also i think i was binge reading @soozencreates rabbit heart series which is jet centric and i started thinking a little more about his character  including what might draw him to other characters at different points of his life. i guess bc zukka was so popular i started wondering abt other alternative slash pairings in the show too

What are your favorite things about the ship?

when they both come to ba sing se, they are both supposedly looking for a fresh start, and yet neither can shake their past. they are distant from their companions (zuko from iroh, and jet from smeller bee and longshot) bc of their inner turmoil, and yet in each other they find shortlived companionship. also... jet was totally asking zuko out before he spotted iroh firebending. idk there is just interesting convergence in their character arcs when they meet and it sets up a romance wonderfully.

jet as a flirtatious, rugged, morally grey tortured soul - zuko as a suppressed, volatile and equally tortured soul hitting it off and not quite knowing what they experiencing except that hey this guy gets me . idk i like that vibe.

its also awesome au fodder - what would happen if jet never cottoned onto iroh and zuko being firebenders? what if zuko befriended jet and co and started undermining the dai le together? would he still side with azula during the coup? how would he react if he was faced with a resistance fighter, who he respected, and who would not let him forget what the fire nation had done? what if jet never died? etc . 

finally the angst potential is off the charts.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i actually dont know what is popular opinion abt this ship? maybe its unpopular to prefer jetko to zukka?

zukka - i don’t ship and i actually dislike most zukka content i see (no disrespect to zukka stans its just not my thing)

Why don't you ship it?

i think its mainly bc zuko and sokka dont really interact w each other in the show besides in boiling rock , and in boiling rock they are both thinking about their gfs. idk i dont see the romance or the chemistry between them? i think that unfortunately ive gotten a bad impression of their ship bc of the saturation of zukka content which imo is ooc . 

What would have made you like it?

hmm i bet if @zuzuslastbraincell wrote a zukka fic i’d love it. maybe i could dig it as a background pairing to a pairing i like i could see the appeal more but tbh im not seeking out the content. 

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

ummmm there are lots of excellent artists who create beautiful zukka fanart. the prominence of zukka has also made me reflect more on sokkas character too. but idk its not my thing i just vibe w it :|

[dyklopces]

[chaoticookie]

DUDE

This is just... majestic. Look at this art

THIS, MY FELLAS, IS HOW TO MAKE A CROSDRESSED MAN WAY HOTTER THAN THE ACTUAL OWNER OF THE DRESS OR REGULAR MEN

In this profile we stan Sokka

So, no Zukka, Tokka, Sokkang, Sukka, Tykka, Azukka, or literally any kind of shipp. The only person I shipp Sokka with is myself.

Okay, maybe I have a soft spot for Sukka, but only because Suki is also a crush and GOD FORBID SHE EVER CAME AND TOLD ME TO GO WITH HER because that would be a GOODBYE WORLD IM GOING!

Lmao Sokka, the only fictional character to ever make me read a xReader fanfiction.

Okay wait I just wanna make a list of some opinions/facts I have bc im bored

Maxwell is one of if not my favorite LI ever and I’m not even physically attracted to him

Open Heart is a neutral book for me

Blades is my favorite book I even got the map phone case lmao

I enjoyed The Freshman Series, as cheesy as it got

I haven’t played/finished BB, TC&TF, MW, MOTY, D&D, ES, or ACOR

ACOR looks kinda boring to me

There shouldn’t be any genderlocked books, plus there should be an option to be enby or say that you are a trans MC

I actually enjoyed Across the Void, and it was the book that got me into the fandom(that fucking ending, however)

STD isn’t as bad as everyone thinks, MC isn’t as bad, but Justin is as bad as everyone says

I ship zukka

That last fact has nothing to do with Choices

I wish there were more books like Most Wanted, because even though I haven’t finished, I still appreciate the vibes

I totally forgot that Oliver from Distant Shores existed mainly because one of my OCs is named Oliver, and looks pretty similar to DS Oliver

Blades of Light and Shadow is absolutely one of the best books, even if I’m not fully invested in the LIs(luv u Mal, but I am a Clown so I do be kinda loyal to da potato sack)

High School Story is one of my favorite series ever, even if it’s nothing like high school

I generally dislike going for the “main” love interest cuz that’s what everyone else does and I have a complex

Despite being a TRR stan in the past I’m not playing TRH 3 not even for Maxwell(and especially not for our daughter bc I don’t like children)

The last good book to air was DS but even then it left me underwhelmed

I finished ES book 1 a long time ago but there’s so many diamond choices in the whole series that I kinda wanna save up for it(plus I’m always bad at the puzzles and the characters make me feel bad when I get them wrong :( it’s not fun)

I am filled with RAGE whenever I see the white OH MC

PB👏needs👏better👏non👏diamond👏hairstyles

I feel like PB has succumbed to modern capitalism in the way that their profit has become more important than the people their profiting off of

VIP is way to ducking expensive

I always get mad when I’m diamond shamed for not adopting pets

I diamond mines all of BSC

I want more adventure books as apposed to like...whatever the fuck is going on now

I love coming of age books(regular books too lol), but MTFL just ain’t it

🔥 + any hot takes/thoughts/unpopular opinions about Glee, A:tLA, and Umbrella Academy bc you reblog a lot of them and I love those shows

AH thank you so so much for sending this! i will try to limit myself bc i have a lot of opinions okay

Glee

i could go on and on about glee bc there are 12 billion things to say (and the show is super long). but i think my most controversial opinions are:

i dont ship finchel or klaine. at all.

i can explain. i have a love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with rachel as a character. sometimes i feel bad for her bc its clear shes struggling and insecure and shes a flawed female character which we need to appreciate. BUT she is just so unbearably annoying, selfish, and awful to everyone around her, and season 5 was the point where i finally made a decision. i dont like her. similarly, i hate finn bc he is overglorified by the other characters on the show, without any actions supporting it. they all say that finn is their leader, that hes the nicest guy ever, and praise him like a hero when in reality, he calls people slurs, outs them in the hallway, cheats on his girlfriends, and just overall acts like a douche towards anyone he doesnt immediately understand or relate to or wanna fuck. they all SAY hes amazing, but his actions just do not support that at all, and thats bad writing imo. i think because those characters are awful, their relationship is a colossal mess, and i think if i had to choose a definitive least favorite point for them, it would be when finn beat brody up for dating rachel. like what did the show want us to appreciate about that??? thats not romantic at all!!! thats disgusting and a sign that finn needs help. physically threatening people who date your exes? who does that??? and we’re supposed to think its cute bc he says “my future wife.” mhm. sure.

i hate klaine bc while i love kurt, i think blaine is awful to him. blaine relies heavily on having a sense of power over kurt, and this is even openly explored in one of the later episodes, but not resolved well imo. from the moment they met and got together, blaine was using his power and standing as head of the warblers to subtly make kurt feel lesser. he liked feeling like he held some sort of power in the relationship. then, when he goes to new york and gains weight and thinks of himself as less attractive, he gets angry and jealous of kurt bc he wants to be the “hot” one in the relationship, and always considered himself as such. if you are comparing yourself to your partner in that way, please break up with them and learn how to feel complete by yourself. blaines insecurities repeatedly fucked up their relationship, and i never have and never will ship them. the fact that they last minute decided to get married, ignoring their glaring issues with living together and teamwork in general, due to social pressure to crash brittanas wedding was absolutely ridiculous and a bullshit wrap up to their story.

A:TLA

okay so i know everyone is having fun rn joking about how “zukka nation has risen” but i honestly dont see it and never will. i dont get where the fandom has just decided this year to prioritize a ship that gets no real exposure, no buildup, and basically a two episode arc in terms of trust and teamwork. i recently saw a post talking about how theres not much fan content for mai/ty lee, who have an actual solid friendship (and ty lee literally risked her life to save mai), but theres tons of fans pushing zukka and acting like its THE ship we should all be shipping, showing the general bias fandoms have for mlm over wlw. something to think about. ive been zutara trash since i was 11 years old, so needless to say, i would pick them over zukka any day.

piggybacking off of the weird superiority complex people have for shipping zukka, i have always been annoyed by sokka stans in general? just to be clear, i love sokka, and i dont think there is anything wrong with loving him! but i HATE how people who consider sokka their favorite character act like theyre special for that? people are always crying that hes “underappreciated” and that hes so much smarter and more capable than anyone else. and i personally have not seen a single person criticize sokka, when ive seen at least small bits of hate thrown at each character. my point here is, loving sokka is a super popular opinion to have, and literally everyone loves sokka! so when people act like theyre the only one who truly appreciates sokka it really bugs me bc like. it truly doesnt make you special. everyone has a different favorite atla character but i pretty much only see sokka stans with this odd superiority complex, acting like theyre so rare for loving a super loveable character.

TUA

idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but the show would be unwatchable without klaus. hes pretty much everyones favorite character, we all see ourselves in him and we root for him and we laugh at him, and while i agree with the sentiment that he gets a disproportionate amount of attention for how ultimately irrelevant he is to the plot, i literally would not care about tua at all without him.

on the flipside of that, i want to love allison so badly, but she gets no time or attention or development at all. her main traits are inc*st and missing her child. she gets nothing beyond that, and we dont know as much about her as the rest of the siblings. it hurts my heart to see the only woman of color in the family being treated so obviously like a side character in an ensemble cast. im really hoping we see more of her in s2.

thank you so much for sending these!!! i obviously love these shows a lot, im just picky about these things.
