This is mostly for Zutarians, but I guess it can be for anyone who wants to talk about this.
I have a theory that Zuko does not have any game whatsoever. He's too shy and dorky for that. However!
However...
I do believe he has rare moments of unexpected rizz.
Hear me out. It's the little dramatic lines of dialogue he has. Very rarely does this work and it's 101% never intentional, but when it works, it works.
Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this.

The Whole "Being Gay" Thing~ 🌈
I haven't told a story in a while. So in honor of Pride, I'll tell you how I found out how gay I was. Hey, they can't all be about the dead x3
Lemme take you back to my childhood values. I was raised Christian. Which is all well and good. Black Christian household, taught to love all of God's children. Cool, fine.
When I got older I learned about the LGBTQ community from school and my gay friends that I found out I had. Now, still embracing the lesson of "love everyone", I decided in all my older kid, preteen wisdom that I was supposed to be a protector of the gays.
Because I loved them so much. It was my job to keep them safe from homophobes and other ill-willing christians. My God would want me to help them in any way I could. Arguably one of the better takes you could have. I was for the right for Gay people to legally marry, and to adopt. Cause why not? They are just as capable of loving and providing for a family as straight people are, right?
I mean I'm right but still.
My gay friends now knew not only was I a safe person to be themselves, but I was also someone to bring their S/O around and be unashamed about it. Which pleased me~ They trusted me, I was being a good ally!
Now when I said I was a protector of the gays, I meant it. I was always ready to battle. I was hostile at the sight of homophobia, proudly proclaiming I'd be the first to throw a rainbow colored brick towards homophobes if it meant keeping the gay community safe. (Ms. Marsha would be so proud) I was fiercely fighting for them.
Matter of fact, I was such an ally I would pretend to be my lesbian friend's lover to defend them since most people would pick on my friends if they thought they were alone. This included hand-holding and kissing. I was dedicated to the cause.
Because...you know...safety...in numbers.
In high school, things got...strange. One time while I hung out with my friend and her girlfriend, I realized them kissing gave me some strange feelings. I wasn't a homophobe so it wasn't disgust right? Cause I definitely wasn't into girls like that. Only guys! Only Guys! ....Right?
Junior year rolls around and I just left my now late fiance for the first time of about five times before he and I get the fucking program. I didn't know how to be alone, so the first boy who asks me out becomes my boyfriend. Which turns out to be one of the worst decisions I could've ever made. Spoiler alert: it's the dickbag who my ghosts hated in another post I made. You know, panty toucher.
So after a miserable 60 day trial of the worst boyfriend premium, I decide I don't like men at the moment.
I jokingly fool around with my girl friends mainly my now wife who was crushing on me for a while during this time and since all of them were down for it so it kept happening. I get kissed by a friend of our group at the time and she rocked my world with that kiss. So at that time, I'm thinking...did I have this all wrong? So I test it out with my now wife. Which turns fast into a FWB.
But I'm not...gay right?
Well, that was my mindset during the time. Until I realized I wasn't straight either. Regularly sleeping with my then best friend and now spouse, will do that to you. So what was I? Well, I did what every struggling kid with internet access did. I took an Am I Gay? quiz. Several of them. And I ended up keeping the label Heteroflexible for that time being.
That is until I started liking more and more women. All the girl characters I liked as a child and was obsessed with was coming back to haunt me. But the biggest blow of all
The late realization where I realize she had young me in a fucking choke hold for years.
Over time and many breakups I slowly moved into Bisexuality, then I realize I find all genders hot as fuck. But I have a masculine preference and will seek them out more often than not. So...for now...Omni.
___
TLDR: Years of Christian repression could not stop the gay. I was so fierce an ally, I turned around and became the very thing I fought so hard to defend.

Brought on by the fact i feel like we haven't had any big music moments in a while and i Miss them
***also i don't mean the emotional music moments like 'carry you', 'photograph' etc, i already know the answer to that question lmao. i mean the ones that just Elevated the scene/call and made the whole thing satisfying in a 'this scratches my brain just right' kind of way
