#zuko; whose sense of self is completely eclipsed by his baggage: ok uhhh..... is there a second option or.....

[comradekatara]

i know i’ve previously stated that zuko is not a chad, and while i in no way retract this statement, i do think it important, upon further consideration, to amend it. because while zuko has absolutely no success when it comes to women, this is 100% due to the fact that he, personally, refuses to. the truth of the matter is, zuko is deemed attractive by many teenage girls over the course of the show: almost immediately upon letting himself have a remotely attractive haircut (as opposed to his s1 abomination), song shows interest in him, which he returns by stealing her ostrich horse; then, we see jin, who asks him out only to have a coupon shoved in her face when she tries to kiss him; even katara assumes they are having a moment in the crystal catacombs, tenderly touching his face and everything, but hes all “oh whoops was that supposed to mean smth. lmfao oops.” and then there’s that scene in “the beach” wherein he dramatically casts off his robe to the approval of a gaggle of tittering girls—a moment to which he is completely oblivious, too busy cursing the sand or whatever. no, the show makes it quite obvious that zuko is, well, a hot teen boy. as much as viewers thirsted over him, characters within the show did too. but while zuko is evidently chad-passing, there are two crucial factors that bar him from any actual success scoring pussy, and that is the fact that a) he is deeply awkward and b) he is deeply gay.

#zuko #the only time he ever successfully flirted was in the cooler in the boiling rock. im js #but he’s also not a gay chad because again. he’s too awkward #All My Friends Are Chads (And I Could Be Too— But Alas): The Zuko Story #katara: talking to guys is so easy! u just have to be urself <3 #zuko; whose sense of self is completely eclipsed by his baggage: ok uhhh..... is there a second option or..... #hot takes #or #analysis #I think
