i just . i don’t get it
#like no ship has baffled me more than z*tara#it's so popular and it's not my cup of tea and i get the appeal but it is just . so Not It#the sun and the moon...... originally were never lovers#in a tale literally as old as time they were SIBLINGS#the ancient greeks made them SIBLINGS for a reason#sun/moon and fire/water aren't yin and yang either??#in the last 3 episodes of book 1 they explicitly said that yin and yang were sky and ocean??#moon and ocean??#like that's why the koi fish were . IN THE NORTHERN WATER TRIBE#k*tara and z*ko never showed that they had feelings for one another either??#k*tara used 99% of her physical affection on aang#and z*ko spent his time missing mai?? or fighting with her but i mean#the line 'that's rough buddy' literally came after him telling sokka that mai was the only part of the FN that was hard to leave#not to mention i think k*tara . would not like to live in the FN and that seems to be the only available narrative#bc no one ever seems to suggest that z*ko abdicate the thrown and joins katara in the SWT#him being romantically involved with her also undermines the importance of his redemption arc#bc in 1x12 or so when we learn about ozai scarring z*ko we see that despite his temper and conquest for the avatar#his crew was more important#he has always cared for people#that's LITERALLY why he was banished to begin with#for CARING#so him taking the lightning for k*tara . isn't a closing arc for his redemption#it undermines it bc he would have done that in season 1#the fact that he did it for her and would have then done it for any member of the gaang#shows that he is now someone who sacrifices himself even for those he once considered LESS THAN#literally called a PEASANT and hunted down#someone he grew up thinking was the enemy#that's the real close to his villain to hero arc??#and the idea that aang getting katara at the end of the series and after the war was a prize like . is zuko getting katara after he saved#her even more of that? guy turns good for girl then gets the girl??
