#zuko and aang

[candyskiez]

Y'all have gotta get more insane about platonic relationships like you are about romantic relationships. We need to get more annoying about them NOW. I need to see more meta and losing our minds over them. Get more annoying NOW. More than that. More than that also.

i find it really funny how a large (enough) majority of zuko stans seem to hate/be anti aang as if zuko HIMSELF doesn’t become the no.1 aang fan at some point

[earfgoddesss]

nah this literally happened tho

[biboomerangboi]

Think we should actually talk more about Zuko and Aang being old men together. Like Aang is 112 and probably has like really old fashioned out of date things he’s really into and Zuko was literally surrounded on a boat by his uncle, the old dudes that worked for him and his uncles weird Pai Sho friends he’s raised to be a old man by like 20. I need the clearly teenage political leaders getting really defensive of an old person snack, have at least one piece of clothing they really like that’s like 100 years outta season and say phrases like “whipper snapper” unironically.

Stop putting them against eachother 😭😭 THEY ARE LITERALLY BEST FRIENDS

[asongofstarkandtargaryen]

I have a soft spot for headcanons/fics where Zuko acts like an older brother to Toph and/or Aang.

Uncle Iroh telling Korra that Zuko and Aang were lifelong friends despite their rocky start makes me want to cry myself sick

"Their relationship started a little rocky, but they grew up to become life long friends, best friends" -Iroh

Another Zuko and Aang parallel that I don’t hear enough people talking about is the season 2 finale. Both of them are at a crossroads of destiny, both of them are choosing between what they believe to be “their destiny” or what they’re “supposed to do” and choosing the people they love, Iroh and Katara. The people who connect them to the parts of themselves that they want to be rather than who the world is telling them to be. They both chose their “destiny,” and leave the person they love behind. But I think what’s more important is that at the end of it all, they find their way back to that person and themselves simultaneously. They do this by choosing what they want, by choosing love. Zuko abandons the life he always wanted in the fire nation and finds forgiveness in his uncle, and Aang holds on tight to the values of his people who were taken from him, and finds peace and love with Katara. And they both seal this with tears in their eyes, and a tight embrace.

post war where the gaang is telling zuko abt their escapade to the fire nation. sokka tells zuko abt how he pulled off mr wang fire incredibly well, kataras telling zuko abt how fire nation has a pretty decent style. and aang complains to zuko abt how shit the schooling is, complains abt how it’s historically inaccurate and “no fun AT ALL like how did the poor children get thru their day!?” and zuko is nodding along, yknow, being considerate bc aang is really passionate abt this topic. but as soon as they leave zuko runs to his office and starts reconstructing the entire school system. he has multiple lists, chalkboards for brainstorming, and constructed little models of classrooms. toph helps zuko with making sure it’s accessible for every single child. he doesn’t have a lot to go off of due to being raised the way he was and his social awkwardness, but he uses his time with the gaang and when he was at sea to create a bomb ass, fun as hell, new schooling system. aang cries

There have been a few asks on whether we are having Zukaang Week this year, and we are here to officially say Yes! We are!

It is being hosted by three new mods this year, @chocomd (@theavatarandthefirelord), @convertedzukaang , and @woodlaflababab and we already have a rough-draft plan and schedule hashed!

Before things fully kick off, we will be reblogging the entries from last year as a refresher to kickstart our celebration. If you made something and it didn't get reblogged, feel free to self reblog and tag us so we can make sure you're getting the recognition you deserve ♡

We're super excited to help host this year! We'll make more update posts soon, so stay tuned!

Some very stupid silly sketchbook doodles of the boys (and the sapphic icons)

thinking about their push and pull...the yin and yang. zuko is battling his internal self and for most of the series, he has lost his way, yet he ended up there by doing a selfless act.

thinking about how Aang chooses to stop his journey and help those in need where he can, until tragedy stuck. he had begun to stray down the same path, but had Katara to pull him back in.

throughout the series, there is always a part of Zuko that we would assign to Aang, and there is always a part of Aang that is so close to pushing everyone out and recklessly trying to forge his own path like Zuko did.

big fan of the trope in which one character views the other as their enemy/rival and is OBSESSED with the them and the other doesnt care

[aerodynamic-acephalic]

i don't think there is anything more dear to me than the weird "it's not romantic, it's not sexual, but 'platonic' and 'familial' don't quite cover it" relationship between:

the edgelord who may or may not have committed several atrocities.

the ray of sunshine who has been through too many atrocities but remains a ray of sunshine regardless/in spite of it.
