#nowadays i crush like crazy on zuko x sokka as peak empathetic dumbass couple goals

[purgatoryandme]

i just started watching avatar the last airbender and why does aang x zuko remind me of winteriron,,, like, their dynamic had so much potential for romance (aged-up, obviously) ughhh anyway am I the only one who thinks this like omg the potential the potentiaaaaaal I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m only about to finish season 2 so I’m excited to see how the show goes from here. It’s been absolutely amazing so far I’ve never watched a show as well written

One of my OG ships............honestly though I think they could’ve been a really cute disaster teen / childhood crush romance? Zuko’s pursuit of Aang could’ve so easily gotten into pigtail pulling -> genuine friendship -> panicked realization of feelings. I genuinely enjoyed their canon dynamic a lot in the show and could’ve seen it turning into something more eventually.  As adults, though. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Old soul who is secretly immature romance goals. It shares some of the intertwined destiny tropes that WinterIron thrives on, as well as the inescapable fame and transition from villainy to heroism + damage by war. I feel like Aang’s WHOLE vibe is so different from Tony’s though and Zuko is infinitely too awkward to ever be as suave as Bucky ahahaha. They do have some of the same bones, and maybe that’s why I love them both, but Zuko and Aang are a whole different brand of chaotic idiocy.
