#they want all the smoke with the avatar bcuz hes messing with their plans

Someone put in some tags that the FN ppl getting pissed that Kataang is a thing, like "how dare he steal the Fire Lord's intended" and now I can't not see this absolute crack fic of a story where FN citizens hate the Avatar for the simple reason that he's coming btwn (trying to) their ship 😅😅. Like they ship Zutata so hard, it's the ppl doing the maneuvering to make it a reality and so what if the Avatar is pissed

One of the things I love about the Ember Island Players is that by trying to make fun of the possibility of romance between Zuko and Katara in the play-within-a-play, the show actually introduces Zutara as text into the world of the show, particularly in Fire Nation pop culture.

Like, there's this widely-advertised production that shows the Fire Prince and the Southern waterbending master falling in love. Then, probably the next thing the gen pop hears about their future Fire Lord is that he's jumped in front of his sister's lightning to save this same girl's life, doing absolutely nothing to beat those allegations.

There's just no way the gossip mill isn't churning. It's too juicy.
