i think the fact that i mostly prefer drawing sokka and zuko in very quiet moments is telling. i didn’t think much of it at first but… it’s kind of a sense of what they deserve to have between each other, because the rest of their lives can be so hectic and intense, but also it’s what they Want to have with each other. they’re so so gentle when they’re alone, in a way that i think a lot of other atla ships (esp zuko ones) wouldn’t be. there’s no need for intensity because their relationship is built on the lack of that, it’s built on ease and a comfort they can’t find in others

#idfk #zukka #sokka x zuko #sokka/zuko #i have nothing against ppl who ship zutara but #i think that relationship would end up So Tense all of the time #it’d be so many emotions always #whereas the idea behind zukka is that they don’t have to be that part of themselves #zutara is so built on mutual pain and trust that’s barely held together #built on trauma and responsibility #sokka went thru the same shit as katara but he doesn’t feel it in the same way she does #idk i see a lot of zutara stuff either on my dash or in my For You thing and it just seems too dramatic to be something zuko could ever end-#-up at ease with long term #again nothing against zutara ppl i used to ship zutara before i realized zukka could be a thing #i just think they would end up being unhealthy with each other #whereas sokka has a very different way of channeling his fire nation pain #that has never been at odds with zuko in particular #which is something zuko would Need #idkidkidk #pls don’t be mad zutara ppl haha #i’m just very very gay
