1. Sokka knows all the best Southern Water Tribe hair oil mixtures and therefore Izumi's hair is the best in the palace (yes even beating Zuko) and 2. Sokka doing Izumi's hair became their gossip hour and that's the way it's been since she was a toddler

#avatar the last airbender #atla #zukka #zukka fanart #zuko #sokka #digital art #artists on tumblr #my art #atla fanart #izumi #zuko has figured out parenting for the most part #but izumi sneaking out means she's growing up and he doesn't know how to handle that #and he tries to hide how sad he is by being normal as he can around izumi #which means he just acts super awkward and weird #i came up with the complete lore behind this dw

A little idea I had for my Zukka single father’s au! (the one where Senna and Izumi parent trap their dads so they can be sisters, which I may or may not have posted about on here before?? At least not a ton, lmk if you guys would be interested in seeing more of this au)

Anyway, thinking about them having an evening-out-on-the-town date planned, but when Zuko comes to pick Sokka up he can tell how exhausted Sokka is, and can see that he doesn’t really feel like going out anymore.

even though Sokka insists on keeping his word and going out like they planned, Zuko gets him to stay in and they curl up on the couch and have a movie night instead. They make popcorn, get lots of blankets, kick the girls out and tell them to ‘go bonding together’, and maybe Zuko massages the tension out of Sokka’s shoulders before he falls asleep.

They have a better night together than if they’d forced themselves to go do things, and find the beauty in allowing yourself some time to recharge with those you love <3

#back to our regularly scheduled program hello #senna and Izumi are both teenagers in this too #so kicking them out was perfectly reasonable I might add #zukka #sokka x zuko #zuko x sokka #single parents zukka #well single parents turned lovers turned family??? #they end up parenting their children together

ZUKKA - IZUMI'S THEORY - ZUKKA PARENTING AU

Ok guys so I was gardening all day today and my mind was on full ATLA. I loooove inventing plots that I will never write lol

And while I was working out the plants, this idea came and I wanted to share it with you guys :) and maybe I will post from time to time some nuggets to continue the scenario if I can!

So here is my idea/theory/AU :

So WHAT IF Izumi is not Zuko biological daughter but his niece?

WHAT IF in a Zukka AU, Zuko and Sokka are indeed together like in a lot of Fire lord/ambassador fanfics, married, happy, some assassination attempts from time to time (because I'm hurt/confort addict), Zuko has a beautiful betrothal necklace etc etc and the question of heritage/lineage is up for discussion at some point (because Druk unfortunately can't become Fire Lord lol)

WHAT IF they adopt baby Izumi at a very very young age like a few months old or even better a few weeks old because she's an orphan

WHAT IF she's in reality Azula's daughter? So she will still be heir to the throne you know

WHAT IF Azula had her by accident? I am not sure yet how but knowing me it will be something dark and leading to Azula's death. Because I'm not sure she will be present in the future ATLA movies with the adult GAang and I don't think she's being referred in Korra so it can be a possibility that she died young and maybe it can be a way idk?

WHAT IF she dies after giving birth and Zuko, in his pain and mourning has to take care of little Izumi because she's the only family member he has left? Like blood family. That supposes no more Iroh (snif) and I'm not sure about Ursa and her family yet but I don't think they will be living with them IDKKK (so many possibilities..)

Right now I'm thinking of a parallel with this scene from Game of Thrones, the Nedd Stark and his sister scene when she dies giving birth to Aegon Targaryen aka Jon Snow

SO VOILA. It is very messy sorry but it just came out of my mind earlier today and I needed to write it down before I forget about it. And while I was writing down on this post, more came out and it wouldn't stop haha

So any ideas? Thoughts? I don't know if a fanfic with this idea is existing but I never had the chance to read one. If it exists please let me know.

Fic Ideas I'll write eventually; ICE ICE BABY PART 1

Modern Ice Hockey AU

In which Sokka and Zuko are on rival, semi famous pro hockey teams

They share a flight to one of their games together because Zuko has to rebook his flight without the rest of his team as he was called to see his father's lawyers and has just found out that Ozai (famous business mogul) is about to be arrested without name suppression for several severe counts of tax fraud and malpractice

Zuko unwittingly is put next to Sokka on the flight, is too delirious to recognise that he is literally surrounded by his rival team and doesn't recognise Sokka as he is relatively new to the starting line but gaining popularity amongst fans (insert note to research ice hockey lmao)

Sokka recognises Zuko because he's kind of a big deal both as Ozai's son and as a hockey player

Zuko falls asleep on Sokka and won't wake up, in revenge, Sokka hacks Zuko's phone (his password is 1234, like you're literally famous, get better self-preservation skills) queues rick roll 500 times on his spotify, takes a bunch of selfies and makes them Zuko's locksreen

Zuko is tech illiterate and wakes up to find the random guy he accidentally fell asleep on (humiliating) has changed his lock screen to a selfie of them and he has no idea how to change it back (even more humiliating) to its default setting

Random guy ends up being the best goalie he has gone up against in the league so far and the only thing that's keeping him from a full on meltdown because he's suddenly realised that his father's very public collapse is about to uncover a whole lot of trauma that Zuko is not ready to have shoved in his face by press oh god

In a moment of pure accidental genius, his post game interviewer catches a glimpse of his lock screen ("is... Is that Sokka Anawak pretending to lick your cheek?") and Zuko has an idea;

The scandal of his abusive past is juicy

But the scandal of two rival male ice hockey players secretly dating as they repeatedly face off against each other could be juicier

Zuko looks straight at the camera and says; "Sokka is my boyfriend and he licks my face all the time. Because we're together. Romantically. As boyfriends."

Nailed it

Somewhere in the locker rooms there's a very faint scream

Oh yeah, this modern sports au just turned into fake dating

Tbc...

Does anyone have an fics or headcanons on Hakoda and Iroh meeting. I feel like they would become instant besties

Me about Sokka:

#Atla #Zukka #And maybe Zuko #We both got Parental issues ❤️❤️

[mellowzukodeer]

For no good reason, I completely forgot to post this last week. But it's now completed! Go listen to this comedy of idiots in love, with nary a brain cell between them. Bato & Zuko bonding over mutual boyfriend experience is golden.

Also I didn't realise this was set in the holidays when I started recording it 😅 soooo please enjoy the setting six months out of phase okay

#so much giggling but also genuine heart feels #oh boy do I remember the days of parents trying to knock and be polite about it #like father like son #applecat4 #zukka #bakoda #atla #podfic #atla podfic #everyone just live your best life

[thegaybluejay]

As a multi-shipper and an ATLA fan, this is my favorite thing to think about-

Zuko: Hey, Hakoda. Um…would you help me make a Water Tribe engagement necklace? I think it’s tradition to ask the parent of the person you intend to marry, right?

Hakoda, blinking in surprise: Oh. Um. Yes, it is. Sure, son. I’ll help.

Hakoda, internally: WHICH KID OF MINE IS HE DATING?? IS HE EVEN GAY? SOKKA’S BI BUT MAYBE ZUKO IS STRAIGHT?? HE SEEMS CLOSE TO BOTH OF THEM SO WHAT IS HAPPENING??

Lmao listen, Zukka has my HEART and will forever be my fav, but I can get behind Zutara too (as long as y’all don’t hate on Aang) and this dynamic is so funny to me😂I think someone wrote a fic about it once-

Predictions if there are more seasons of NATLA

Yue will appear again in fox form and have some awkward dialogue with Sokka *obligatory furry joke*

Sometime during the Ba Sing Se arc we’re going to see some brutal death by bending like in episode 1

There’s going to be some kind of ~progressive~ spin on Toph’s parents that downplays the ableism

They’re going to cut out the beach episode

Obligatory Zuko thirst trap scenes when his hair starts growing out

Azula and Zuko will duel in the same courtyard where Ozai burned Zuko and there will be flashbacks to that scene and some monologuing about ~mercy~ and ~weakness~

Zuko’s arc will be hella rushed

They’re going to tamper with the Ba Sing Se political plotlines and come up with something really dumb

A random side character will be revealed as gay in a 5 second throwaway scene

Appa being stolen will not be the reason why they go to Ba Sing Se; instead they’ll go there because Azula will set her sights there after conquering Omashu

Jin will either not exist or will have a scene with Zuko with strong sexual undertones that we will be subjected to through tumblr gifsets for all eternity

(at least) one of the actors will make a joke about a character and/or ship and get #canceled and ruthlessly spammed on Twitter

Both Zukka and Zutara will be baited to some extent both on and off screen and when neither are made canon it will unleash a shitstorm even worse than voltron

Thinking about (modern au) baby Izumi being scared of the trash truck, and making someone sit with her at the window so she can watch it go down the street every week because she does not trust that thing

(Based on the cute lil baby that lives across from me and watches me through her window every time I record a video outside)

I was recording outside again this afternoon but when I watched the videos I took, I saw him peaking out the back there, so here’s the lil secret agent in question, lol

#I love babies they are just adorable #he was banging on the window too lmao #Izumi #baby Izumi #this is 100% a zukka dads post if anyone was wondering #so #zukka #zukka dads #OR #I’ll do you one better #single parent Sokka and his neighbor Zuko who he’s forced to talk to bc his kid keeps banging on the window every time Zuko is outside #but that’s a post for another day #my post #headcanons and stuff #first post of 2024 woah

[ultfreakme]

Thinking about how Hawky was meant to be a regular presence with Zuko like Momo is, but in canon ended up going to Sokka. Anyways Zukka’s first child is Hawky and I’m going to pretend Hawky somehow got lost from Zuko after the North Pole battle and ended up with Sokka. Zuko’s very worried about Hawky and is shooketh in western air temple to find Hawky happily bonding with Sokka. 

They’re Hawky and Momo’s co-parents.

#zukka #zuko x sokka #they take hawky and momo on playdates #they also fight about their respective 'children' messing with their kids

being delusional is my greatest strength

ATTENTION ZUKKA NATION THIS ONE IS FOR YOU

as most of us in the ATLA fandom know by now, there's gonna be both an adult gaang movie coming out at some point and the live action netflix show in 2024

and I may be connecting some dots

for the adult gaang movie:

1: we don't know who Izumi's other parent is besides zuko

2: TLOK comics say that zuko worked to outlaw homophobic laws input by sozin

3: we have no idea if sokka and suki stayed together/had kids

4: in the ATLA comics zuko and mai break up, and reconcile- but don't get back together

5: ATLA has always been ahead of its time in terms of representation of POC, disabled people, LGBTQIA+ people, etc.

for the live action

1: it is going to be canon-divergent, this was confirmed because some characters will be appearing in season 1 that weren't introduced until season 2 in the og show-

2: Mike + Brian (atla creators) left the project in 2021 because of "creative differences" when it comes to ideas

3: netflix loves making money off of gay people.

4: when Mike + Brian left, and when the "creative differences" emerged, was AFTER the explosion of zukka-

sidenotes:

there are official, fully canon letters to zuko from uncle iroh about their lives- and therefore, about the gaang, in "The Legacy of The Fire Nation" the one about sokka contains... this.

"the prince and the fool. but is that all you and sokka were, or were to one another? no, I think not.//and sokka needed you, zuko..."(continues but I'm cutting it off here bc this is all that matters.)

these projects were announced after ATLA really got popular again over covid- AFTER ZUKKA BECAME POPULAR-

DO YOU SEE. WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS.

I AM MANIFESTING CANON ZUKKA IN AT LEAST ONE OF THESE PROJECTS-.

Why People Hate Momtara/Dadko

I was in the Momtara/Dadko tag and I was surprised how many people are disgusted by it. But I have a theory on why it bothers some people.

It’s a tag that references the fact that both Katara and Zuko act as the Gaang’s kind-of-parents in the show. But it also points out the glaringly obvious difference in emotional maturity in the group. I think that when people start to acknowledge this difference, it might make shipping either Katara or Zuko with the other members of the Gaang feel kind of gross.

Because Aang and Toph both act very much like children (they’re like 11, so I get it) but, despite the fact that Katara is only 3 years older than Aang, she is MILES ahead of him in terms of emotional maturity. Aang deals with his emotions similarly to someone of his own age, like when Katara yells at him in the Waterbending Scroll and he immediately starts getting teary. That’s a normal reaction for a child, but Katara never yells at him again and shoves her own feelings aside for the better of the group (The Western Air Temple). She is constantly having to calm him down when he gets angry or goes into the Avatar State and always supports him emotionally (despite getting none of that back from Aang). On top of that, Aang doesn’t take responsibilities regarding the domestic chores, so it really makes Katara seem like more of a mother or older sister. 

I also know that people ship Zukka (I don’t, but I know it’s popular) and, while Sokka acts close to his actual age, Zuko has a bitterness to him that came because of his banishment. Zuko even said in The Beach (S3 E5) that he doesn’t deal with the same problems that normal teenagers have. His trauma made him into someone who doesn’t see himself as a normal teen and we see how Iroh’s influence shaped Zuko whenever he is doing something good. Think about how he interacted with Lee (Zuko Alone) or the emotional maturity he shows when he apologizes to the Gaang (Western Air Temple) or when Katara blames him for her mother’s death (The Southern Raiders).

I just thought about that because it would make sense why it seems to disgust people. Because it’s seen as cute or a way for Katara and Zuko to support each other for a lot of Zutara fans (I’m not making a blanket statement, but there is a reason why it’s popular with a lot of us). 

Just a theory.
