#zutara discord

[eponastory]

Just in case I haven't told anyone...

Some mutuals and I have created a server on Discord for Zutara Shippers (multishippers are welcome, too!) To share art, fanfiction, and just their over all love for the ships we love (yes, even Taang, Zukka, and Azutara) in a generally safe space. (I say generally safe because there be dragons, and Godzilla is lurking around, too... figuratively speaking.)

Anyway, if you want to share your art, we have channels for that. Daily Fanfic prompts (although sometimes I forget to post them) are available. Weekly art challenges, crazy shenanigans, and much more!

The bigger we get, the more we can do!

Also... we have lots of potatoes... in different forms.

prompt: gardens ✨

side note: i love how zutarians have evolved from zk week to having both zk week and month, to zk year ❗❗and all community driven projects 👈

You should see the Discord Server... we do live fanfic writing. 😁

[tiny-katara]

i run one actually with my beautiful stunning amazing most beautifulest goddess in a mortal body wifey @burst-of-iridescent. it's the Crusty Ass Zutara Server so it's more than a little cursed but everyone there is very sweet and kind. mostly. sometimes they're just deranged but isn't it more fun that way?

oh also @drakonic and @muddied-waters run it too but they are each other platonic wives not mine <3

Avatar The Last Airbender Roleplay

It's time. It's been a long time coming. I finally want to do an ATLA roleplay.

I want to play as Zuko and since it's my first real atla writing experience I'm down for any pairing (platonic or romantic) for now.

Hit me up with any ideas and pairings! 18+ only and I only roleplay on Discord:)

A little out of context gem from Crusty Ass Zutara Server

[vohalika]

Shipping comes in two distinct flavors, casual and competitive, and much like with video games, the casual shippers tend to have a lot more fun than the competitive ones fighting for canon. Sent from a competitive shipping veteran.

"you can't ship that, it'll never be canon!"

look, when I was your age, we shipped characters who never even met in canon. uphill. both ways. in the snow.

[sokkastyles]

I just have to laugh when people insist that zutara shippers are responsible for perpetuating the ship war when KA shippers send messages like this.

Like, you really think I want to debate this with you on discord? Be serious.

[tiny-katara]

KGZ you never disappoint 🙏

Even more no-context graphics I've made for the CAZ (Crusty Ass Zutara Server)

Special appearances by mods @solborealis @tiny-katara @burst-of-iridescent (contact them for access!) as well as other members @kaligraphy @sxnkisses @homeagainrose @ilovegirlsgeneration @termaitz

[daily-zutara-prompts]

Daily Prompts!

Why have just a week or month of Zutara Prompts when you can have them every day!

Suggestions are welcome!!!!

There are some rules, though.

All prompts must be rated G. No exceptions. The more general, the better.

Prompts will be posted in the order they are received! If a couple of weeks go by and you haven't seen your prompt, it's because there were 14 prompts ahead of you. Don't worry, we will get to your prompt.

Prompts can be as detailed or as vague as you want for creativity.

Anonymous prompts are welcome! We get that not everyone wants to be known, and that's fine.

Prompts are for both art and fanfiction. If you are submitting a prompt just for fanfiction, please indicate this in your prompt.

Now, for the other parts!

Prompts will be posted at 8AM EDT every day!

Keep in mind that there are no deadlines, and you can use these prompts anywhere. We do appreciate it if you reblog the prompts with your art/fanfic. We would absolutely love to read them!

Please remember to tag your blogs properly if you do not intend to reblog prompts!

You may also link your stories from Ao3, Wattpad, and FF.N in the comments of the prompt.

We also have a Discord!

Yes! You can share your love of Zutara in The Jasmine Dragon Discord server! We also do daily prompts and weekly art challenges! The art will be used as the Avatar for the server and for this blog!

We have a great group in here that talks about anything and everything. Mostly Zutara. So check it out!

ZUTARA MY LOVES

Hello, are you looking for a new atla ship? Sick of the ship wars? Consider with me, if you will, joining the zukaang fandom.

Do you like grump/sunshine trope? "I don't know why but I thought this thing would be a lot faster." "Appa's right Zuko, in our group, typically we start out our missions with a more upbeat attitude." "I can't believe this." - literally them.

Do you like the yin/yang trope? Zuko's flaw is literally his aggressive approach to his problems which is foiled by Aang's flaw of passive approach to his problems. They are the definition of yin and yang.

Do you like forbidden love? Even beyond the whole "Avatar and Firelord" thing, they both have to have bio children. They are tragic as hell if you want them to be.

Do you like excessive parallels and reading way too much into symbolism? The writers spent way too much effort in building the parallels between these two and there's always more to say about them.

Do you like shared trauma and similar backstories? They literally had an entire episode dedicated to showing how their backstories mirror eachother.

Do you like (lovingly) making jokes at Zuko's expense? What's better to tease him about than his absolute obsession with the avatar.

Do you like parallels to past lives? Zukaang has simularities with Sozin-Roku and Oma-Shu and there's even Kuzon.

Do you like m/m but never felt much connection for zukka? Zukaang is full of connection.

Do you like being canon but kataang just didn't do it for you? Zuko is literally quoted as being the person closest to Aang in his life and there's an official picture of them holding hands as adults and the culmination of the zukaang hug is iconic just like the kataang kiss. They're like an inch away from being canon.

Do you like enemies to lovers but zutara never caught your eye? Their inevitable friendship was built since book one when Aang asked if they could be friends.

Are you sick of antis? Zukaang has two (2) whole anti arguments: the age gap which is nothing between adults, and the idea that Aang is related to Zuko bc Roku was his great grandfather which doesn't make sense unless you consider Korra and Katara to be married. Beyond that people don't care.

Do you prefer small but active ship fandoms to the big name ship fandoms? Zukaang is right on the border, big enough to be plenty active but small enough to be free of drama and full of likeminded people.

Like talking about your ships but rather do it through group chats instead of tumblr? We have an active discord server.

If any of this appeals to you, feel free to join us, we'd love to have you! :D

[animentality]

I just wanna say that while I don't ship either of them myself, I respect that the ships that don't become canon, like Drarry and Zutara, will always have much more powerful and diverse communities than the ships that become canon.

You can't tell me that more people ship Harry and Ginny RIGHT NOW than Drarry, or that Zutara's fanbase is less active than Kataang's. I was in the tag an hour ago while on a megalomaniacal rant in discord, and literally most of it is Zutara things, and it's been like what. A decade? Still going strong off of scraps, huh? I admire it.

When a ship becomes canon, people celebrate in the moment and then move on. You get smatterings of people who re watch the series, and do some doodles here and there. But the ship dies with the fandom itself, because a canon ship is not even a ship, it's just part of the story. And it's not the most interesting part of the story most of the time, especially in a series as richly packed as atla. the romance isn't done that well, it's barely focused on. and that's fine, but it's not the thing atla fans really talk about to this day...

you don't see atla fans talking about how epic the kataang romance is. not really. that whole genocide is bad plot is far more interesting.

But when a ship is entirely nonsensical or only lightly hinted at, or maybe just entirely theoretical but intriguing narratively...

that ship can go on for years.

The lack of content is paradoxically what makes the fandom content even better.

Fans can do anything they want with an empty sandbox, and thus fans become creatives in their own right, constructing a canon that fits their own interests.

And that's far more intriguing to consider because of it.

A Kataanger can write about katara and aang getting married, but canon already did that. How interesting could that really be? the creators did that and it was whatever.

a Zutaran, meanwhile, is writing a whole new story and mythos based on the meager scraps they were fed a decade ago. They're totally re writing canon and reconstructing a narrative about opposing sides coming together in the form of their narrative representatives.

they're red blue shipping, fire and ice/water, sun and moon, enemies to lovers, the sunshine and the grump, bad boy x good girl, learning to forgive, redemption arc, theyre basically dispensing with canon and writing a psychopathic descent into their own psyche.

they're making entirely different stories because they were dissatisfied with an aspect of the one they got.

and frustration/need breeds creativity. it stirs the imagination.

if you were satisfied with your ship becoming canon, you celebrate and then you move on.

if your ship never got its chance...

well. you could spend a life time wondering what if.

and you're thinking well of course a durgetash crack shipper would feel this way... and you're right.

but I'll be here. I'll be here still thinking about durgetash long after the last Astarion x Tav shipper has gone.

it's the small things. it's the blank slate, the holes with potential. it's the little gaps in the concrete of canon, where the most twisted but entertaining weeds grow and can never be destroyed, not fully, not permanently.

[dukeofdelirium]

fun fact: did you know kataangers have a whole RAPE discord server dedicated to writing their ship in a non-consentual manner.

this is eho y'all are. rapist males. have some shame.

pics or it didn’t happen. where’s the proof???

fyi, I’ve been in the kataang fandom since the day ATLA premiered. and I have been active in said fandom. I know allllllll about the zutara fandom writing rape fantasies, sexualizing the idea of Katara being held captive and sexualizing the idea of slavery. The zutara ship fandom has a very well known, well documented track record of such.

and unlike you, I can actually provide proof, probably because what I’m saying is true.
