zuko tries to slow down his pace when walking with katara because she's shorter than him, she's not gonna be able to catch up to him with her short legs right????

she is smaller but she is so fast he genuinelly can't keep up with her and has to ask her to slow down bc she just zooms off like a rocket

Zuko’s Fear of Fatherhood

Zuko is terrified at the prospect of having children one day because he doesn’t want to end up like his father. His council has started getting more pushy about finding a wife and making an heir to solidify his rule. He has constant panic attacks.

Zuko tells Katara all about this in letters while she rebuilds her home in the south. Her tells her he thinks the world would be better without another of his family’s kin in line for power. He’s convinced his family is cursed and intends to break it.

Katara responds with words of comfort and reassurance. She validates Zuko’s feelings and gives her personal opinion about the subject. She tells him she knows he never would be like the man who burnt him. She tells him it’s okay not to want children. But reminds him not to let fear drive him away from the prospect of it.

After years of rebuilding and Zuko constantly asking, Katara finally accepts Zuko’s invitation and becomes a Southern Water Tribe ambassador when she turns seventeen.

The first day she arrives, Zuko has come from yet another meeting strongly urging him to start a family and is stressed out until he hears the sound of children’s laughter in the courtyard.

He follows the sounds and finds Katara by the turtle-duck pond, happily reading children's scrolls to the children of palace workers. Suddenly the dread in his soul is gone and replaced with warmth; the idea of having a family isn’t so scary.

TL;DR: Zuko is scared shitless of fatherhood until he sees Katara reading to children, which awakens his brovaries.

hey so do you guys remember how zuko was deemed worthy and blessed with the true nature of fire by the guardians of light themselves and became 100x the firebender he was after, with a newfound understanding and oneness with his element

kind of like how katara handled the moon and ocean spirit with her own hands and was blessed with unmatched waterbending power and oneness with her element and also spirit water but get this, also the healing ability to bring someone back from certain death

y'all remember that

#zutara #the parallels never end #i 100% hc that katara was blessed singularly by the spirits and that is why she went from struggling to THRIVING in her mastery #able to bloodbend on her first try ffs #katara and zuko have a degree if spirituality that a@ng ironically does not have. he is religious #but they are spiritual #and take bending seriously as a sacred gift not meant to be raken lightly #unlike someone

Okay, Zutara Headcanon Time

Druk was the first one to know that Katara was pregnant, even before Katara herself or Zuko found out. He got super protective of Katara and used to cuddle next to her stomach all the time. And even though Katara wasn't aware of the reason for this sudden show of affection she welcomed it because Druk was quite young and tiny at the time and it was like having heating pad on her belly.

The first time Zuko and Katara realised something strange was going on with him was during one of their friendly sparring sessions when Druk hissed at Zuko and became very overprotective of Katara and refused to calm down till Katara reassured him that Zuko wasn't actually trying to hurt her. They didn't figure out why Druk was acting like that until Toph accidentally congratulated them a month later.

You guys are right that Shouto is Zuko but Todomomo isn't like Zutara,it's more like shipping Zuko with Ty Lee tbh

anyway headcanon that firebenders are like solar panels. the end

#fire nation #headcanon #kal has a thought #atla #firebending #if you don't already know i already hc that the fire nation pre-war was 'the party nation' and would celebrate all night for days and weeks #so what better way to have enough energy to stay up all night is to be a solar panel firebender #imagine being a non-firebender trying to sleep. lol loser might as well join the festivities #also tagging as #zutara #because i like getting noticed lol #and also because katara can relate to staying up all night *stares at the moon* love you baby <3

#every now and then i remember my hcs for aang discovering post war that some of the ppl the gaang met along the way were airbenders... #and i wanna SCREAM #listen i love zutara but what i would have loved more than anything in atla would have been no confirmed endgame (but sukka) #and then a spin off series of aang teaching the airbenders #and toph tags along because she would rather annoy aang than go home to see her parents lmfaooooo

[shipper-of-tragedies]

ok zk headcannon real quick

after the war Zuko marries Mai to solidify his rule cause politics. then they get divorced cause of an argument. Zuko is like 24ish at this point. alone. broken. unlovable. Katara just broke up with @ang and is the SWT ambassador to the fire nation cause she's a bad bitch. then she fixes his pain and they get to fall in love all over again.

katara being like a cat around zuko and just laying on him because he's warm or like curling up around him when he's alone and offering to brush his hair for him and just always finding reasons to be around him like a cat looking for attention

do you have any steambaby hc? (zutara babies)

I don't have any steambaby fleshed out yet, if I'm being honest. Though I do love the idea that they have a daughter, dark skin and golden eyes, and maybe later a boy.

It also depends on the AU. For example, I would love for Zuko and Katara to have a girl named Izumi in my Kyoshi Warriors AU, because of their connection to the Painted Lady (whose human name was Izumi). I guess it depends on the development of any particular story. In some AUs I can see them having a couple kids, in others none. Maybe in one it's a daughter with golden eyes, or in another a nonbender boy.

idk of it's just me but i don't understand, the atla fandom, from all ships existing would just slander zukka out of nowhere. like mf i just want to see my boys being silly and in love in fanwork, why they need to be so mean lmao

I think it's because for close to 20 years, Kataang and Zutara were reining supreme in ship wars and fandom space. Jetko was the main mlm ship before but it didn't have nearly the same popularity. No other ship could even touch those two and those two continued arguing about what's best for canon.

Now though? Zukka's the second most popular ship on ao3- all of those fics and content showed up in 3 years. And suddenly the Netflix actors are pushing for Zukka practically every interview while actively dissuading Zutara(and hinting strongly at Kataang- thanks Gordon & Kiawentiio going "he/she's my.....family, yeah let's say family *wink* *wink*"). They're getting extremely popular and now fucking Netflix, Entertainment Weekly and Deadline are tagging #zukka in the year of our lord 2024(thank you for your service Dallas Liu, braver than the marines). Popular ships unfortunately get hate, especially queer ships, like just as a baseline regardless of if it's a canonically supported or unsupported ship, if it's "morally correct or incorrect".

This 'crackship' that no one took seriously suddenly feels...like a threat to these people??? Like we can joke about hahaha zukka gayyyy but we all know that's just silly gobbledygook right? (Not saying Zukka should or could be canon, but just the fact that people are seriously considering it as a ship option in fandom makes people act weird)

A lot of the the points made for "why Zukka is bad actually" are so funny though, that my initial irritation is fading and I'm just laughing at it. Some highlights that made me actually lose it:

Zukka is misogynist to Katara because, and I shit you not, they think that we think Katara is homophobic sdjfhbbgvh. I was shook when I discovered this was a thing.

Zukka bad because Klance bad (war flashbacks to Voltron)

"Everyone just wants a gay ship smh the chronically ONLINE FANDOM BRAIN HAS ROTTED THE SANCTITY OF HETEROSEXUAL-[EXPLODES]"

Zuko is a colonizer who's oppressing Sokka by dating him (i have no stats but this sounds like a white person trying very hard to sound like they're super inclusive and understand the plights of the colonized and oppressed. and the best way to do it is shit on a fake ship about lines on a page)

Zukka bad because it makes no canon sense

I think people who are Big Mad don't get that we're genuinely just chilling and making silly stuff without thinking too much about what SHOULD happen in canon. Everyone in ATLA fandom takes the show and the fandom far too seriously, like losing a fan discussion is somehow a slight upon their personal morals.

We coasted along without much hate for a good while but the increasing popularity means Zukka as a ship is going to get bashed ;_; I think the best we can do is block and ignore instead of engaging(very hypocritcal of me rn tbh, I'll try to stop).

I don't think you expected this....giant wall of text but thanks for sending me the ask and I totally get your frustration" Just let us enjoy our silly hcs and content!!!

Zutara arguments be like

Dadko is canon therefore Momtara should be too(Zuko being the Team Dad of the Gaang was a sign of character development by healing his inner child and breaking the cycle of abuse while Mom Friend Katara is a compulsive trauma induced trait she's always talking about hating and wanting to be just a kid)

Aang is too immature for Katara so Zuko is better fit for her(See above)

Katara can only like brown guys(Jet and Haru)as a stepping stone to Zuko or it's #problematique and not real interracial rep

They used to hate eachother so it's destiny

Red x blue and sun x moon(Symbolism with zero in-universe romantic connecations and afaik not common irl ones either)

Zuko is a boy and Katara is a girl=Opposites attract because complimentary

"Ugh i wish i didn't try to get oppressed for saying Zuko is STRAIGHT,i hate you STUPID GAYS"

Mai is a girl with the same personality as Zuko and this means she's abusive because REAL girls don't bite back or have non-quirky emotions

"Aang sexually assaulted Katara by kissing her and her and Zuko have repressed sexual feelings for eachother-No i am not a pedophile for refusing to not associate children with sex,why are you such an abuse apologist omg!!!"

Katara was a teenage anarchist with a gnc bf who was previously her first ever and also best friend instead of Zuko's rebellious gf he taught to truly understand him and to not judge a person just by their actions and beliefs but rather how much they fit into beauty standards and how hard their childhood was so the entire Atla crew are self-inserters who hate women

Calling Korrasami forced pandering bs and Asami a badly written character who's inherently colorist and overhyped in the fandom

Completely ignoring Ty Luko both as the most supported non-canon Zuko ship in-text and as a fandom rarepair so they can say every Zutara anti just has internalized misogyny while also being revolted by Aang's femininity and multigender/transfem egg hcs for him and even Zuko ironically enough despite claiming to love them for being 'a female fantasy'

"I'm [insert non native american/indigenous type of poc here] and i had crush on Zuko SO WE WERE ALL ROBBED!WHY DOES EVERYBODY CALL ME A COLONIZER APOLOGIST,ALL I SAID WAS KAT IS A CUTER NAME THAN KATARA!"
