#and the more iroh tries to encourage him the more he retreats into his shell

[comradekatara]

the hardest thing about raising zuko for iroh is that he is simply too much of a chad to understand zuko’s sexual repression. emotional repression? yeah, he gets it. he was raised in the same environment, after all. but zuko looking like he wants to die when iroh informs him that jin is into him is just. completely new territory for iroh. yes azulon raised him to be a ruthless general but it’s not like that ever stopped iroh from getting mad pussy. he never had this problem with lu ten bc lu ten was also such a fucking chad. but no one ever gave iroh a handbook on how to raise sensitive gay boys, and for that reason alone iroh embarrasses zuko daily. smh uncle, smh

#iroh #zuko #lu ten #azulon #iroh&zuko #iroh&luten #sort of #we know nothing about lu ten but what i do know is that theres a 100% he FUCKED #its in his genes #wait i just realized zuko is the only non-chad in his friend group #sokka? obvious chad. suki? DUH. katara? absolutely. aang? hes only twelve and hes already got game (so... papaya excluded) and toph too #meanwhile zuko is romantic but hes simply too repressed! #and the more iroh tries to encourage him the more he retreats into his shell #scarred by uncle giving him The Talk ... with many ...colorful metaphors #nooooo uncle please why this uncle anything but this 😭😭😭 #toph on the other hand finds it delightful #which zuko is also appalled by bc shes babie #toph calls him a prude
