Some tiny zuko things, in case anyone wants to do a story or something *wink wink*

[jockvillagersonly]

I’ve been thinking about the miracle of friendship and my Zukka university!AU so, for your consideration, how Zuko and Toph became friends:

Picture this: Junior year. Zuko is fresh off realizing that he gets to decide what he wants his life to be — not his dad, not Azula. Him.

Zuko goes full fuck it - cuts ties to his family, gets a job at his uncle’s tea shop, switches his major from business (boo!) to theater (woo!)

Downside: despite being a junior, he has to take a bunch of intro-level seminars to fill the preliminary requirements for his new major ☹️

It’s in one of these classes that he meets our lord and savior, mothercrusher Toph Beifong

Zuko is sitting alone in the back zoning out, chewing on his pencil, being dark & broody (duh) when someone small and compact sits directly next to him & pokes him in the face??

We are talking strong this scene energy:

Small & Compact immediately leans in, sniffs, and then sits back with visible disappointment, all damn, you don’t smell bad. So what’s the reason people avoid this row like you’re a walking plague?

Zuko doesn’t answer beyond making his eyebrows Extra Angry 😡 and shooting her his patented “I Listened to a Lot of Mayday Parade in Middle School” glare.

It has approximately no effect because, as Zuko is just now realizing, the weird small freshman is blind and cannot see his glare (which is honestly her loss, he has practiced it in the mirror and it’s a powerful look — )

ANYWAY small freshman leans back in conspiratorially and asks is it cuz you killed someone? I’m not a narc...you can trust me.

Zuko snaps out prove it, pokey before his brain catches up to his mouth and he flushes

But Toph just smirks: sounds like something the feds would say, sparky. Who’s the real narc here, huh? Dumbass.

Obviously this is the start of a beautiful friendship. They sit together every class and talk shit about everyone

(Zuko eventually asks why she sat next to him the first time, and Toph is like I’m blind, and even I can tell that no one sits near you... people keep trying to help me walk up stairs and shit, I wanted to learn your secret for scaring people away)

Zuko recommends using the elevator instead; Toph punches him

Zuko thinks he has a Friend™️?

(And like obviously beyond mutual shit talk, they become friends because they understand each other. They both have fucked-up, dysfunctional, wealthy families, and they’ve both spent life not being seen for who they really are)

[haykiuu]

can you even imagine how much of a great and powerful duo zuko and toph could have been if they ever got to be closer as friends?

Zutara Week Day 5: Youth

@zutaraweek

A Tabletop RPG AU world-build snippet ft neighbourhood kids Gaang and the start of a very, very long RPG campaign.

The Gaang has been together for a while now (they literally grew up together). When everything changed because the lightning storm attacked and… left the entire neighbourhood in a black out.

(Zuko was 12, Sokka and Suki were both 11 and some change, Katara was 10 and Aang and Toph were 8. Iroh was the lucky guy that had to babysit these children during a thunderstorm.)

(That’s when he introduced them to tabletop RPGs, just little things that can hold their attention for long periods of time and get these young folk lost in their imagination for days on end.)

Four years later, Iroh has planned out an epic campaign. They all get their characters, and backstory and twists (that Iroh made them draw out of a hat) ready. (Except Toph, she’s trying out a boarding school because her parents are going… somewhere. In Suki’s case she has athletic meets and can’t join too many sessions).

Zuko is just sitting there across from Katara and she’s wondering why it’s only her and Sokka starting off the campaign when Aang and Zuko are right there.

And then the first ‘twist’ happens – Aang’s character is also the barrier maiden/MacGuffin and he has to be protected until he can save the world.

And then Katara groans:- the reason why their rogue specialist is not with the hero squad, is (and Zuko grins in absolute mischief, she glares back at her best friend who-is-the-worst) because their rogue specialist is their mini-boss villain.

“Your backstory is going to be horrifyingly tragic too isn’t it?” She groans.

“Maaaybe?” He teases.

Iroh smiles with youthful abandon.

“And he came up with it all on his own too! Once I gave him his twists!”

Katara glares at Zuko “You’re lucky you’re cute.”

Sokka: “Stop flirting at the table and let’s just get on with it…”

(btw, check the tags of this one ;D)

(Also! If you want to see an extended scene look here.)

[burst-of-iridescent]

So Burst-of-iridescent, I noticed you were doing a character ask game and I was curious about your feelings for either Iroh or Zuko? I don't care which one you choose I just want to hear your thoughts on either one. 🙂

hey j‐man, thanks for the ask! i'll do both because why not?

zuko

Sexuality Headcanon: i know this is a mad unpopular opinion on this site, but straight. i totally get why people hc zuko as gay/bi/ace, especially when his arc with his dad is so sadly reminiscent of the relationship many queer kids have with their parents, but he just radiates straight "i love my bi wife" energy to me.

Gender Headcanon: cis

A ship I have with said character: gee, i wonder if anyone can possibly tell who i ship zuko with (zutara trash till the day i die)

A BROTP I have with said character: zuko and sokka! i love their friendship, and i can totally see sokka calling them the sword bros or something equally cringey. i also like them as a ship in fanon, but following canon alone i think these two would have the most epic bromance ever.

A NOTP I have with said character: mai/ko. kill it with fire. i will despise this ship even in my grave.

A random headcanon: zuko is ambidextrous. look at all that dual sword wielding!

General Opinion over said character: zuko is the definition of "people hating on a popular character solely to be contrary/because they're bitter their fave isn't as popular". the complete lack of empathy people seem to have toward zuko in favour of propping up other characters (looking at you, hardcore aang/azula stans) is just astounding. his character arc is so beloved and lauded for a reason. you aren't "seeing the truth" where the oh so unintelligent masses got taken in; you're purposefully and completely misreading canon to support your own batshit stupid interpretation. please develop some critical thinking skills.

iroh

Sexuality Headcanon: unlabeled. i see iroh being a firm proponent of the whole "love is love" idea and just doing whatever he wants with whoever he wants. or maybe he's just into tea, who knows.

Gender Headcanon: cis

A ship I have with said character: iroh x tea i don't really ship iroh with anyone but if i had to choose, aunt wu or piandao could be interesting.

A BROTP I have with said character: iroh and toph. they would 100% be those friends that play pai sho and gossip the whole afternoon over tea.

A NOTP I have with said character: i'm not invested enough in iroh's love life for this.

A random headcanon: iroh is the one who first notices zuko's natural athletic skill and arranges for piandao to teach zuko.

General Opinion over said character: i wasn't aware that the hague or geneva conventions existed in the atla universe, but apparently i was wrong since everyone and their mother enjoys calling iroh a war criminal. just say you dislike this character for being popular instead of pretending that you genuinely want to apply modern standards of warfare to this fantasy children's show regarding a character who repented and then did whatever he could to take down the regime he regretted supporting.

Top Fifteen Avatar Episodes, no I won’t be taking criticism at this time

These are the top fifteen best episodes, according to me, a person who just binged the show in three days. This is opinion but also my opinions are always right, so there.

15. The Chase

Bad ass villain girl gang chases the gaang and everyone comes together for the first time for a big ol’ fun fight which ends an emotional gut punch. Everything I ever wanted

14. The Blue Spirit

Badass mysterious guy with swords rescue’s Aang and turns out to be ZUKO??? Stunning. Makes us question who Zuko is as a character. Also, cool sword fighting

13. Tales of Ba Sing Se

Listen, you all know why this shit is here. It made you cry. It made me cry. We all cried. Let’s leave it at that

12. The Siege in the North

First major battle, high emotions, great action, soaring music. Good stuff.

11. The Beach

Villains being awkward and trying to be normal + therapy session on the beach = things I love

10. The Storm

Excellent character work. Paralleling our antagonist and hero. Diving into their deepest fears and mistakes. Stunning

9. The Day of Black Sun

Great battle plan, good showing from Azula, epic confrontation between Zuko and his trash father. The invasion was a failure but it didn’t fail to win my HEART

8. The Drill

Listen. It’s just a solidly paced episode with amazing action and it makes me cheer at the end. It’s not deep. I’m a simple girl. I like a good action movie.

7. Zuko Alone

Heart breaking. Gut wrenching. A poignant character study. 

6. The Puppet Master

Look blood bending is sick, both in the cool way and the horrifying way and also katara is a bad ass, thanks

5. The Boiling Rock

Prison breaks and Sokka x Suki and the Zuko and Sokka bromance already made this great. But that Ty Lee, Mai betrayal at the end? GOLDEN

4. The Cross Roads of Destiny

Stellar character conflicts and inner turmoil. Heart wrenching. Dramatic. Makes you want to shake Zuko while still understand why he made his mistakes. Also, Azula is a stone cold bad ass and can shoot me with lightning anytime

3. The Blind Bandit

Her name is Toph. It sounds like tough. This has one of my favorite action sequences. Toph is welcome to kick my ass. I’d thank her for it.

2. Southern Raiders

I’m a Zutara. You know why this is here.

1. Sozin’s Comet, the four part finale.

Listen, I like good endings. I like endings that do the characters justice. I like happy endings that are earned through suffering. So this finale is great. Zuko and Katara vs Azula is still one of the best fights to ever happen. Aang’s final show down with the Fire lord is stunning. The White Lotus going to town is breath taking. Zuko and Aang hug and the balance is restored. Love it. Best episode. 10/10

And that’s it. The correct and definitive ranking. Honorable mention: the Waterbending scroll. Because I am, as I said, Zutara trash.

[carbootsoul]

anyway no one asked but: yue joins the gaang instead of becoming the moon at the end of season 1 hcs!!

- instead of giving up her life to replace tui as the moon spirit, she gives up tui’s blessing to give them the final burst of strength to escape from zhao. basically yue gives up her blue eyes, pale hair, and waterbending. she never (?) waterbends on the show, and the loss of her bending isn’t too devestating to her.

- also sokka gets a friend who can’t bend either... he deserves it.

- when the gaang leaves after the battle is over, yue decides to come with them and it’s a HUGE thing with her father and begins her main character arc, which is about whether her responsibility to her tribe and the preservation of their culture is more important than her paving her own way and also how those two things can coexist!

- she leaves her betrothal necklace on her bedside table and the last shot of the episode is just of it, lying there. 

- this got rly long so there’s more under the cut

- her traveling clothes are a thing shawl and a tunic similar to sokka’s with pants. she keeps her usual haircut but it’s tied with leather instead of the fancy hair things she used as princess. also she uses a hunting knife as a weapon

- she and sokka continue their weird not-dating-but-kind-of-dating dance for a lot of episodes and it’s generally awkward and easy comic relief. also more shots of yue blushing because she’s just so cuteeee

- there’s a scene of them stargazing where yue tells sokka the story of a pair of lovers who died and then remained best friends in all their future lives (because avatar friendships enduring through lifetimes and also friendship being just as important as romantic relationships)

- yue becomes friends with EVERYONE they meet IMMEDIATELY and everyone falls in love with her because she’s sweet and pretty and has a nice laugh.

- there’s a filler episode that’s just sokka and yue going shopping together and trying on lots of jewlery but the running gag is that yue keeps getting distracted with talking to other people and definitely flirting with every girl she runs into and sokka is always distracted with a pair of earrings or a set of rings and doesn’t notice. finally some random guy is like ‘man your girlfriend has been flirting with my sister this whole time... are you aware.” and sokka is immeditaly like ShE’s NoT mY GiRLfRiEnD and then like wait what

- so maybe yue is a lesbian. sokka is very distressed that he’s been trying to court someone who’s not interested so he talks with katara while she’s sewing or something and he’s like is yue gay?? and katara is like oh i don’t know. lots of people we know are queer. sokka: WHO??? katara: well, zuko. suki. sokka: ZUKO??? SUKI??? and this is when katara realizes her brother’s gaydar is nonexistent. 

- yue tries being a vegetarian (to be nice to aang) but thinks nuts are gross so she and sokka go on hunting trips together. she’s Very Good at archery.

- also the episode where they watch toph wrestle?? she and sokka are SO on her side. it made me angry in the show that sokka wasn’t on her side but yue would convince him very quickly and they are very loud together.

- she also stays to talk to toph on the estate because she doesn’t look as suspect as the rest of the gaang so the guards don’t kick her out immediately (read: she’s good at conforming to elitist ideas of how people r meant to act and passes the rich kid test). she and toph sit in the garden and watch the moon (because the moon symbolizes yue’s perceived failure to sacrifice herself to save her tribe) and talk about how sometimes to live as yourself you have to skirt your responsibilities to your family. yue leaves a few hours later firmly friends with toph.

- she continues to be the one firmly on toph’s side in the toph/katara disputes that are in the first few episodes with toph. katara can’t hold it against her though because literally who could hold a grudge against yue she’s so incredible

- (ok we’re skipping a lot of time here bc i frankly do not remember everything that happened in book 2) her ba sing se tale is her uhhh going to the market to buy herself an iced tea because she’s gay and just having a good time being a no one. a girl she runs into at the cafe asks her to go on a walk around the city with her and it’s very sweet but yue does Not know this is a date so when the girl gives her a kiss she gets blushy and says something dumb

- also at the end of another episode we have a short scene of yue on the roof of their house in the upper ring, staring at the moon and touching the place on her neck where her betrothal necklace isn’t. then the camera switches to zuko, on the other side of the city, looking at the same moon and absently running his fingers through his hair where his topknot used to be

- yue and jet hate each other but yue still advocates for him because she sees how he’s been hurt and thinks that he deserves a second chance. i don’t know the funeral traditions for any of the nations but she does a quick northern water tribe blessing over his body before they run away.

- yue and mai are like.. yes we r gay..... yes we do flirt with each other while fighting sometimes.... yes we r the two knife fighters.. yes we are ALSO narrative foils

- yue looks SO GOOD in fire nation clothes but she keeps her usual hairdo because she deserves it. the fire nation propaganda makes her very angry, as does the institutionalized homophobia. she starts arguing with some guy over it and katara is ready to back her up and start fucking screaming and get arrested and sokka is like.. now. now is when i should talk to her. 

- he drags her away and she’s like fuck dude i can fight my own battles and he’s like no i just.. what you were talking about.... i have something i need to tell you..... and she’s like you’re bi!! good for you, sokka, thank you for telling me. and he’s like :bi shock: no?? you’re a lesbian. anyway yes she is a lesbian they are wlw mlm solidarity. 

- there’s a filler episode where toph and yue rob a bunch of fire nation soldiers and when they get caught (after a While of these robberies) they get out of it by playing the ‘dumb rich kids’ card and run away with jewelry like.. dripping off their hands. katara makes them sell all of it except a choker necklace yue keeps that looks like a betrothal necklace but instead has an etching of a bird flying away.

- skipping again bc this is getting rly long. when zuko joins the gaang he and yue have a tentative conversation about their relationships to their nations and he’s like.. idk sounds like you needed to leave? that wasn’t an environment that you can thrive in. and she’s like but i can change it! i need to be there to change it, and i left. and he’s like well no. some things are just toxic. i went back to my nation and it was terrible. and she’s like i have a responsibility to my PEOPLE and gets mad at him and she and katara r like angry at zuko team. 

- yue’s life changing field trip with zuko is just them leaving on appa to go to a market and be normal teenagers. they both viewed each other as Fire Prince and Water Tribe Princess, but this lets them open up and realize concretely that that’s not all that they are. 

- zuko apologizes for implying that the nwt was irreparable and explains that the fire palace wasn’t something he could fix and that trying just hurt him more. yue says that part of the reason she was angry with him was because he was right and that she felt so much more herself when she was away from her home. they finally reach the conclusion together that they have to become themselves before they can hope to change their cultures for the better.

- yue comes along to boiling rock but is v much background to zukka bromance. she hangs out with suki some (lots more yue blushing oc bc suki is BUFF) and does some dumb gay fighting with mai but they’re both bad at it because yue is busy mooning over suki and mai is busy protecting ty lee.

- ember island players still say she turned into the moon >:(

Batfam Reactions To Watching Avatar The Last Airbender

req: “Hi I was wondering if you could write the boys reactions to watching Avatar: The last airbender for the first time?” (anon)

YES! THIS IS TOO CUTE!

- long story short, Dami got hurt during patrol and to make sure he didn’t sneak out the entire family had to settle in for a movie night

- you made the epic recommendation to watch ATLA and yall basically binge watched it for a week while Dami healed, here are each of the boys reactions

Damian

- this mfer grumbled that it was stupid and gave Katara shit for being a bad waterbender at the beginning, especially the first episode

- he was hardcore crushing on her at the end specifically her fire nation outfit and that she learned how to blood bend, he’s a simp for powerful women what can i say

- during the first season he was pretty stoic and annoyed, blame it on the painkillers

- second season he was gettin’ into it, flinching with the epic fight scenes, calling himself the batfamily Toph, he let a rogue tear slip during leaves from the vine and no one noticed but you and Dick

- he got extra cuddles that night

- he lost his fucking shit during appas lost days- like full on screaming about appa and burrying his head in your chest while you quietly tell him appa will be okay

- he denies all of this too this day though (of course) but he loved it, and you’ll hear him humming leaves from the vine when he thinks his comm is off now on patrol

Cass

- she wasn’t really paying attention to the show at the beginning,  more soaking in the family bonding moment and spending each night sitting next to a different person to understand more about them

- she liked watching tim because he gets really into it but steph is also a fun watching buddy because her reactions are sooo intense it’s like watching a movie watch a movie

- a month after showing Cass she came up to you with all these epic fan canon ideas for the future or the past, talking about what the avatar state meant and spewing crazy little facts you thought no one noticed

- turns out it’s her comfort show now, she watches it to remind her of Jason’s shitty sex jokes, Dick’s screeches, you’re silent tears, Babs failed plot predictions, and everything else from the week were for one you were all just kids

Tim

- For some reason I just think Tim’s seen it before

- he’s your buddy for laughing at his sibling’s reactions when you both know what’s coming

- the giddy smile he gives you before Katara does the epic water frozen save on Azula or Aang yeets into the avatar state

- him and cass are your lore buddies, you’ve all got all these crazy awesome ideas about the plot and what-not

- Tim crushes on Zuko hardcore, like that scene where he throws off his robe Tim’s cheeks are completely flushed, eyes stuck to the screen and you’re dying laughing

- sometimes you’ll come into the batcave and tim will be working while ATLA plays in the background and you’ll both silently rewatch it together making little quips about a funny moment from when the family watched it together it’s all so wholesome

Steph:

- Steph is a Sokka simp and you can’t tell me otherwise

- she’d pass out when his hair is down and everyone would roll their eyes

- she’d buy a boomerang for patrol and bruce would give a hard no but you can find her throwing it at shrubbery when bruce is out

- She also thinks Tai Lee is adorable and deserves the world

- “EVERYONE SLEEPS ON THE NON BENDERS OKAY SUKI COULD GET IT”

- “steph you came into my room at 5am for this?”

- steph honestly just says the thoughts we all have, when watching she’s totally immersed and falls for all the jumps and scary moments- her and dick are constantly being told to shut up while you die laughing at their reactions

Jason:

- dick basically had to chain him to the couch to watch at the beginning, he’d claim he had better stuff to do but eventually he’d be the one dragging people to the couch for the next episode

- would develop a bromance with zuko in season three

- convinced he’s a firebender and plays with wayyy too many lighters for a week to bruce’s concern

- thinks Mai is hot as fuck but claims he wouldn’t date her “cuz bro code” with his new imaginary best friend

- Roy comes by actually asking if he can meet zuko that’s how much jason talks about him it’s so cute

Babs:

- she’d slip in and out of watching while doing research or helping bruce during patrol, so she’d always sit next to you while you refreshed her during the episodes she caught

- she’d think aang was adorable and would try to convince dami to shave his head and get an arrow tattoo cuz he’d be cute

- she’d be the one to bring everyone water and sandwiches from alfie when you’ve all been binging for hours

- everyone needs a babs when they do a 3 season binge in a week, everyone say thank you babs RIGHT NOW hehehe

Dick:

- he’d be the one who got everyone there and he’d love being surrounded by his family

- granted, it was painful at first, giving constant death glares to dami and jason when they tried to get up and trying to get you to reveal plot secrets while you giggle, but in the end he was loving it

- he’d be crying 24/7

- when Mai and Tai Lee attack Azula and give the speech about loving Zuko more than Mai feared Azula he’s be screeching “GO OFF QUEEN YEAH SIS” while everyone tells him to shut up

- he’s a cabbage man stan and I love him for it

- his favorite season was season 2 because he loves toph because she reminds him of his siblings and he likes bumi and is convinced he’ll be a bumi when he’s older even though everyone tells him he’s such an iroh

- Dick would look back fondly on that week, surrounded by family who wasn’t fighting and could each have their own personality highlighted while all being together, he’d forever be thankful you brought up the idea : )

Bruce:

- it was a tough week for bruce, he hadn’t actually been alone on patrol for a long time

- it made it all worth it when he got to tiredly plop onto the couch with his kids

- he wasn’t watching the show he was watching them, the way they were invested in the show but also still took the time to bond even if they didn’t quite know it

- he got the best sleep of his life that week, passed out on the couch while his kids cuddled him, his white noise was Tim screaming at Damian and Steph babbling about Sokka, it was truly perfect. They were his family : )

I hope you enjoyed!!! Love you!

avatar: the last airbender fic recs (part 2)

as promised! link to part 1 personal favorites are starred, by the way.  everything is complete unless stated otherwise.

Zuko-Centric

*Spirit Son by imadoctornotanescalator (~136k)

Akine was quite familiar with bodies --- dead ones to be precise. He should have known something was wrong with this one, but he and Shino were so eager to be rid of it, they did not notice that there was something very wrong with it.

this fic is complete but it is the first part in a two part incomplete series (as of now) Spirit Son. ithe author is also rewriting it, but the rewrite isn’t complete either. i haven’t read the second part or the rewrite, which is why i’m not recommending them here.

one of my all time atla favorites.

The Family You Choose by TunaFishChris (~36k)

Some people are born with soulmarks. Zuko has them, but his grandfather burned them off because they "make you weak."

Team Avatar has a few things to say about that.

gaang platonic soulmark au. lots of hurt/comfort.

*we are bound, by each crime and every kindness by hyugesoo (~4k)

Todoroki Shouto dies, ice in his veins and ash in his lungs.

Zuko is born with fire on his lips and tears on his cheeks.

(or, when Shouto is reborn as a prince in a world desperately needing a hero.)

reincarnation. i read this before i knew anything about mha, so you should be alright if you haven’t watched my hero academia yet. it’s really beautifully written fic.

Unwanted Friends by FoiblePNoteworthy (~17k)

Aang knew those swords. He’d seen them every day, felt the warm, if rough, presence of their owner in all his hardest moments and coldest flights. He was a strong figure, gentle in his own way. A Firebender who still used swords.

another gaang platonic soulmate au fic rec.

Little Zuko v the World by MuffinLance (~110k, last updated 2019 dec)

Zuko finds Aang a month into his banishment. They’re both 12. Expect not-a-kid-person!Zhao, gratuitous saving from pirates (dangit Katara give little Zuko back his shirts), and some solid Appa/Zuko bromance. It is the hole in your life you didn’t know needed filling.

warning: incomplete. lots of fluff and humor alongside angst. 

for reasons wretched and divine by ZenzaNightwing (~8k, series: 178k, last updated 2021 nov)

(He screamed toward the moon, they murmur, it’s a sign)

(The sun set on him, others scoff, it’s a sign)

Prince Zuko is born into rumor and bloodshed. He is raised in flames and scars.

Sozin's Comet is coming again, for Earth instead of Air, and Agni will not let it pass lightly. Not without intervention.

the series no grave (hold my body) has 4 fics, 3 of which are complete and under 15k each, while the fourth fic is incomplete and ~150k.

absolutely loved this idea.

To The Victor Goes The Spoils by LizaGreen (~27k)

Hakoda kills a Southern Raider. This backfires spectacularly. Zuko is just trying to keep four kids from dying while not being a traitor to his nation. Toph is concerned. Sokka finds himself rethinking everything he had previously considered the norm.

Or

Kuei orders all of the Fire Nation out of Ba Sing Se after Azula fails her coup. This has wider ramifications than he thought.

*half in the shadows, half burned in flames by r_astra (~4k)

“They say you tried to kill the Firelord,” Hakoda says. "Why?"

Zuko doesn’t know how to answer. Because I hate him. Because I love him. Because he wants to see the world burn. Because he knotted one hand in my hair and cupped flames against my face with the other.

Because my mother is dead.

Because my uncle is dead.

Instead, he shrugs tiredly and says: “Someone has to.”

[stitch1830]

Zutara and Kantoph being couple friends is something that can be so personal. I feel like they have monthly double date nights. Meanwhile Sokka and Aang get tasked with babysitting the steambabies and Lin and shenangins ensue.

It's something that's become very personal for me lemme tell ya.

Zutara and Kantoph vibe as couples. Sometimes Toph butts heads with Katara just to get a rise out of her, but it's all in good fun, and Katara gets her back. Kanto and Zuko are buds they've got this opposites attract bromance going on and they gush about their partners all the time.

And they are always happy to get away from the kids just for a hot sec, because everyone needs a break!

Oh lord and Sokka and Aang babysitting... Literally they now share half a brain cell between the two of them, and the couples should just be thankful that they come home to an upright home because chaos for sure ensues when they babysit (but the girls all love their uncles... so they still always call them).

[rllymilerlly]

are there any atla ships that you personally do not vibe with?

Imma only keep this within the realm of the Gaang +Ozai’s Angels because there are so many different possibilities that there probably are quite a few. My problemo is that most of the atla ships I have is more like a hierarchy than a simple ship them or not. I’m like cool with most on some level, whether it be one sided or not.

Though here are the few ships that I perosnally don’t vibe with:

-Toph and Zuko (sibling vibes)

-Sokka and Aang (bromance? Yes. But they are just bros to me)

-Almost all ships involving Azula

-That’s all I can think of on top of my head

[mystic-kitten-writer]

I'm seriously wondering how the Gaang and everyone in Canon Limerence would react to all these asks and ship names (especially the poly AU stuff) 😂

OMG YES.

AU: Limerence

“What in the world does shipping mean?” Zuko would mutter under his breath, forehead scrunched as he looks at the paper in his hand. Yue would giggle, sliding her arms around Zuko’s waist from behind, her head titled upwards.

“It’s when you think someone would go well with another person.” Yue would hum, her smile growing as she sees the growing confusion on Zuko’s face. He would frown, studying the paper even more intently, “Why is my name on here- WHY IS YOUR NAME ON HERE SO MANY TIMES?!”

Yue would burst out into laughter as Zuko rages internally, throwing the paper into the air as he wraps his arms around Yue. Without much thought, Yue would snuggle deeply, smilingly brightly as he continues on his rage.

“It’s because I’m cute- Z-Zuko, what are you doing?” Yue would stutter before Zuko begins grabbing her hand, tugging her behind. Zuko’s face would be red, walking towards the office door on a mission, “Hiding you from the damn world. Me sharing you. Are these people fucking nuts-”

“Is hide code for fuck, Zuko?” Toph would blurt, Suki and Katara's eyes going wide as they try to hide their laughs. Zuko would stop, Yue’s cheeks red as Sokka takes in what Toph just implied.

“I SWEAR I WILL END THY LIVES-” Sokka would rise before Suki cuts him off, “Zukka?”

“Oh, what’s that?” Katara would ask, and Suki would giggle, “Seems like Sokka and Zuko have a bromance, but without the b in front.”

Sokka would still, before nodding with a stupid smile, “Me with Fire Lord Zuko. Move aside, Princess, that beach house is mine-”

“They’re trying to hook up the four of us together.” Zuko would hiss and Sokka’s face would drop. “They’re monsters. My sister?”

“Is there anything written for Toph and me?” Katara would ask, and Suki would shake her head, “Nope, and Toph is apparently an ‘independent badass who’d fuck around and live life to the fullest because she’s too good to be tied down.”

Toph would lean back on the ground, hands behind her head as she grins, “I like these people.”

Katara would cross her arms, slightly pouting as she looks at the paper, “I wonder why they didn’t pair me with anyone...”

“It’s cause we’re already so perfect, sweetie.” Aang would happily whisper in her ear, Katara blushing red. 

And all you’ll hear is Zuko clearing his throat, shooting daggers at Aang, “For the record, Yuengko is a fucking thing. And that ‘first kiss accident’, yeah, say goodbye to your eyebrows.”

What I’ve learned from season 3 of Avatar - part 3

-First of all, it was kinda obvious they couldn’t win with the attack on the eclipse. The six other episodes after it gave it away

-Twinkle toes

-ZUKO’S UNCLE IS SO AMAZINGLY WEIRD

-What the actual heck is Boomy

-Let’s take a moment to appreciate how absolutely insane Azula is

-Shout-out to Appa and Momo, the real heroes in AtLA

-when I started watching Avatar, I had no idea how much I’d come to love Mai and Ty Lee. The beach vacation episode was awesome

-honestly, why would ANYONE think going to the theatre was a good idea? They hadn’t won yet, so it shouldn’t have been surprising when they (the actors) “killed” Aang

-yay Suki’s back... she kinda lost some of her character tho

-pRiSoN eScApE

-Zuko is... good??

-also WHY would Toph sneak up on Zuko in the middle of the night? What did she expect?!?!

-I personally don’t ship Aang with Zuko, but they have such a cute bromance. Same for Toph and Katara

-yay the good guys won gg good night

-I’m a little sad knowing that the story picks up with Legend of Korra, where Aang is dead and everyone else is retired

-Honorary mention!!! - the title “fire lord” sounds so scary and mysterious, but its kinda funny how we never see Ozai until now
