me: y'know, it's been a while since i watched atla. maybe i'll see what those zutara shippers were on about

me coming out of my atla rewatch and shipping zukka:

#legit rewatched the show just to see if they were onto something (they weren't) #still a strong kataang shipper but it's so funny that i ended up shipping zukka #avatar #avatar the last airbender #atla sokka #atla zuko #zukka

[ofswordsandpens]

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

#it certainly doesn't help that pretty much the only other fire bender that Zuko's consistently contrasted with #is his extremely talented once in a lifetime level of a prodigy sister #but guys he's still very powerful #and I will bravely propose that #after seeing the dragons #and Zuko is no longer relying on his anger and rage to fuel his firebending #its not a coincidence that the next two battles that he has with Azula either #end with a stalemate (both Zuko and Azula use the same move on the airship and notably she's blown back further from it than he is!) #and then him winning (she's lost her stability while he's finally found his) #(side side note: I'm of the camp that Azula targeting Katara in the Agni Kai made Zuko the automatic victor because an Agni Kai is #(should be?) #between only the two partaking in it and Zuko WAS straight up wiping the floor with her until that very moment where she targeted Katara #which you know great play on Azula part she knows how to manipulate her brother cause once she released she was losing the Agni kai #Azula simply made the choice to get the throne via the line of succession lol) #ah well #atla #zuko

ID: three drawings showing from left to right, jet, zuko and sokka from avatar the last air bender as children from the waist up. Left jet is slouching with his arms crossed, body facing left, head angled looking to the right. He has a licorice wood in his mouth. Center is zuko frowning, looking to the left. On the right is sokka about to trow a snowball, small pink tongue peaking out of his mouth. "chiptrillino . 2023" is written faintly on the bottom of sokkas parka. "please don't repost" is written on the left side of the green square behind jet End ID

dug these up again after the nice anon ask

#chip!art #atla #jet #zuko #sokka #i just... i get it why its a wheed stalk and licorice wood is maybe not everywhere aviable #but it has taste!!! #jet can chew on it! #and i like the idea that his breaths smells like it when he grows up! #and katara and zuko end up sort of bonding over absolutley not liking the taste but odly having grown found of it. #but like hell they ever admit it out loud #zuko: ... would it be weird if we get some just to chew on it? #katara: i am over him so yes!

speaking of zutara shipbaiting/romantic coding, can we talk about how “i don’t know why, but i do care what she thinks of me” is a relatively common statement that usually holds romantic connotations in other forms of media

#the problem with the creators both trying to somewhat appease zutara shippers and make fun of them within the show #is that they ended up sending a LOT of mixed romantic signals #atla #zutara #zuko #katara #the southern raiders

[pineapple-frenzy]

For your post finals art request, how about something from your Zutara scars au? Maybe Zuko gently kissing the scars on Katara's hands, with Katara looking absolutely flustered.

Thanks for your consideration and time.

I love soft scar kisses so much, I hope you don’t mind that I added a touch of angst to this

I saw something recently that was like what if Zuko thinks he’s the one that burned Katara’s hands, and I really like the idea so I wanted to incorporate it into this au. So here’s a little comic about Zuko apologizing for burning Katara’s hands (which he did not) insipired by your request :>>

#zutara #zuko #katara #atla #soulmark au #my art #i like to think happens during a conversation about zuko's scar #he'd be opening up to katara about it and even telling her how it happened #he'd also talk about how he never wants to do what ozai did to him to others but he thinks he ended up doing it to katara #and that's what leads him to apologize #so when katara says it's not his fault do you think she's talking about her own scars or zuko's fukalfjlakfk #n e ways #that one drawing at the bottom is actually a redraw of one of my old art from this au #i was looking at old art from this au for reference for some of the flower placements akdjmajdkjsjd #and i thought i'd do a redraw of it cause i still like the art but i can do it so much better now djajdkskkf #but yeah thanks for making a request with this au #zk brainrot is so back #i am so back

imagine canon atla but modern, and sokka going to the market to pick up some groceries because the gaang is running low on food. normal shit, right? and then. as he enters the candy aisle, he makes eye contact with prince zuko, in all his fancy and spiky fire nation armor, gripping a box of girl scout thin mints in one hand and a package of birthday cake oreos in the other. prince zuko, who has been chasing them town to town, city to city, with a basket full of enough candy to give you diabetes. prince zuko, looking like a little kid with his hand caught half way in a cookie jar.

what a sight.

category 5 jetko moment

#iroh isnt homophobic btw. hes just stupid #he has really bad gaydar but only with his nephew and close friends #Hes like why does my nephew always get frustrated when i set him up with girls... #why does piandao call jeongjeong babygirl.... #i feel like even in an au where jet doesnt realize theyre firebenders hed still have beef with iroh. For comedic purposes #hes like i dont believe in getting the parents approval thats stupid and idgaf. But then zuko is family oriented #so its less of “get mushis approval despite us lowkey beefing” #and more of “do not let zuko find out we have beef or he will be upset probably #and iroh shares this sentiment and thats how they end up getting along. Kind of. #IDK #jetko #jet #zuko #iroh #avatar the last airbender #atla #alicias art

[lovegrowsart]

it's pretty wild to me that people don't see that aang running off to save katara in CoD is his luke in empire strikes back moment, where he runs headlong into his want and attachment and he's narratively punished for doing so and not learning his lesson - aang runs after katara despite guru pathik's warning, like luke runs after leia and han from yoda on dagobah despite yoda's warning; similarly, as a result, things go to hell in ba sing se like they do on bespin - aang enters the avatar state before he's ready and gets killed, and ba sing se falls to the fire nation, luke fights vader before he's ready, loses a hand, and symbolically commits suicide after vader tells him he's luke's father.

the difference between their character arcs is that george lucas and co. actually went thru with luke's hero's journey and understood the fundamental difference between attachment and love, whereas I don't think bryke understood this difference and then dropped this from aang's arc pretty much completely and replaced it with aang digging in his heels into his want and attachment and he gets rewarded with energy bending from a lion turtle, the avatar state from a random pointy rock, and his forever girl from the self-indulgent white men that couldn't bring themselves to give their hero a compelling character arc that meant he might not have gotten everything he wanted at the end.

#the wasted potential of aang's arc gets to me so bad #the narrative and thematic set up is entirely there and they just shove it in the bin lmao #it especially irks as someone raised buddhist and dealing with writers that invoke these themes out of a fascination #with the religion and philosophy but then a complete unwillingess to actually commit to what those themes require of the character arcs #anyway sorry to say it #but zuko's arc does a better job embodying buddhist themes than aang's does in the end #despite all misappropriated aesthetics to the contrary #aang critical #but its really the writing like i LIKE aang i love his potential i hate how self indulgently he's written by the end of the show #atla critical #meta* #holly talks bs #also yes it would've been better narratively for aang katara zuko to the go the way of luke leia han #even if katara couldn't have been revealed as aang's surprise secret twin lmao #the thematic conceit of the triangle is the same in that luke and aang get over their infatuation with the first pretty girl he sees #and becomes the hero he needs to be #meanwhile hanleia and zutara are saving each other and being cool and kissing #anyway
