Tbh the problem with ship wars is that everyone tries to find a moral high ground to prove their ship is superior when actually shipping should be about making two characters kiss like a kid playing with barbie dolls
I can't stand Zutara but something about Zutaraang makes me so happy.
I'm convinced every zutara problem could be fixed via zutaraang. (Before I move forward, while I understand if this is tagged anti zutara, I am not anti zutara, I quite like zutara, when I speak of 'problems' it is because there are problems and conflicts in every relationship. There are also plenty with kataang and zukaang but this ask wasn't abt those two.)
So one of the biggest things I think they'd struggle with is they're both so strongwilled, you just KNOW they're gonna bump heads sometimes. Both of them have a tendancy of lashing out with harsh words when they get angry or frusterated. That combined is a recipe for disaster.
Enter Aang, who is repeatedly shown to be a peacemaker. Enter Aang who is repeatedly shown to be able to take bad bahavior and just shrug it off. Enter Aang who'd be the number 1 zutara shipper whether or not he was in that relationship lmao and would be estatic to scheme to set them up toward getting along. (A lot of locking them in a closet tbh)
I also think zutara just tend to make bad decisions together, namely going to kick people's asses (which is also something I love about them lmao, you cannot leave them alone for five minutes before they're plotting some raid on an asshole)
Enter Aang who's literally that meme of the person holding the leash with the gremlin only there's two kwbdjsdbb one of my favorite zutaraang ideas is Aang having a set of rules like, sure, go off and kick ass, but don't get caught and no more than three broken bones please. I think it's a good compromise.
Zutara are neither very subtle. They'd be causing drama and political problems All The Time lmao, collectively the thorn in everyone's side.
Enter Aang who can lie like a snake and be like "that doesn't sound like my Katara and Zuko :0 besides, they were with me that night :) you trust the avatar don't you? :)" And like, who's gonna disagree? That's the avatar. This works almost every time but they're all aware that EVENTUALLY he's not going to be able to pull that off, which is why "don't get caught" is one of the rules ksnfnsndnd
Also, Zuko and Katara have shown to have a tendancy of giving a certain kind of attention that the other would struggle with. Zuko has his severe possesive issues, and Katara gets a little Too determined to help everyone even when they make it clear they want to be left alone. Katara would not react positively to someone trying to control what she can do or who she can talk to, and Zuko tries to fight anyone who dares make him feel even slightly vulnerable when he's not in the right mindset for it jsbdnsndnd
Enter Aang, who would be a fatastic distraction. Zuko's trying to be possessive? Well he can't be posessive over Katara AND Aang at the same time now can he, Aang's probably perfectly happy to let Zuko scare people off sometimes (being the avatar has got to be socially draining.) Katara's prodding at Zuko a little too much? Aang's perfectly happy to have deep conversations about emotions to quell her need for that until Zuko's ready.
I'm just saying, Aang is the perfect bridge between them. I love zutaraang so much. I love these trigger happy idiots and their long suffering pacifist nsbfnsndns

Shoutout to my younger self for keeping lists and post its on calenders and checking everything twice and making step by step plans for the day in my head KNOWING I have the attention and memory span of a goldfish and forget literally every thought one sec after I have it. Sadly, I have also forgotten how my younger self used to do that so idk how much longer I'm alive for :)
Y’all 😭
I keep looking at other peoples posts and going “oh that’s so cool, I love it!” And then I go to like/heart the post and I see that I already liked/hearted it and then I just sit there like “When the hell did I do that???”. Like I swear I’ve never seen the post before but apparently I did but I don’t remember? Y’all I think I’m losing my marbles.
(Sorry if this was illegible 😭)
Some people, especially on Reddit, seem to think Zuko is some sort of fragile little boy who, after joining the Gaang, is constantly in awe and fear because of the overwhelming power they developed at this point, especially Kataras feats during the Southern Raiders episode and, i mean, have they watched the show?
Guy shows up looking to pick a fight with what he assumed would be a fully realized avatar with a hundred years prep time, next time he shows up he picks yet another fight with an accomplished general, taught be one of the greatest firebenders with very obvious animosity toward him. Later he breaks into a fully manned fort armed onl with a suspicious disguise and two swords. When Zhao decides to have him assassinated in response, Zuko just goes to hide on the ship of his would be murderer, just so he can break into an enemy city through an unfamiliar network of underwater tunnels and drag the avatar into a frozen wasteland with little chance for survival and that is all just the first season.
Later, after joining the group, he full on attacks Aang in a ploy to draw him into a serious fight. That's not the actions of a guy seriously afraid of the Gaang. Or death, for that matter.

YOU got into fandom because you were bored in quarantine
I got into fandom because i was bullied for being weird (autistic) and needed to think of something other than killing myself
YOU are now trying to bully weird people out of fandom (we built it)
WE ARE NOT THE SAME
Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
me, a writer, at 3am: WHAT? I CANT FIND THE SPECIFIC FANFIC THAT I MADE UP IN MY MIND WITH A WHOLE PLOT AND ORIGINAL CHARACTERS??? WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE??? DO THEY EXPECT ME TO WRITE THE STORY I THOUGHT UP OF???
Been seeing a lot of Sasuke hate on my fy on tiktok and would just like to remind everyone that he was
1- forced to rewatch the death of his parents by his brother for over a thousand times when he was 6
2- told by the same brother who killed his parents to seek revenge
3- groomed by an experienced cult leader since 13
And that's not even touching the implied stuff (coming back home to no one when it used to have an entire family there,seeing his family's corpses,etc..) so maybe we should cut him some slack and stop comparing him w/ Naruto and Gaara (who didn't really deal all that well with his trauma before Naruto to begin with)
