i've always had the thought that there was a deeper reason zuko so desperately needed to find the avatar. we all know zuko has a deeper connection to aang than was led on. his great grandfather sozin being the reason for the 100 year war/air nomad genocide, and his great grandfather on his moms side being avatar roku. of course he needed to find the avatar to restore his honor but what if there was a subconscious NEED to find him, subconsciously knowing he has a connection to the avatars soul. knowing he is a descendant of that soul. zuko's "daddy issues" caused him to search high and low for a paternal figure. he did find that in iroh, but searching for aang gave him a purpose - something to focus on while in the midst of his trauma. when they eventually became friends, aang ended up being like a brother to him. they were so close and he trusted aang more than anyone in the gaang. i think aang reminds zuko of the good he has in him, the good that he gets from his mom's side ;(
it would make sense that he'd feel compelled to look for his great grandfather's forever earthbound soul until he finds it. i just love their friendship :')
i hope i never ever ever see this image while im high or it will also straight up kill me. it would make me so scared my skeleton would run away And id be a boneless scared heap on the ground
that’s a really interesting interpretation of this character. i actually hadn’t seen it that way before. unfortunately you are wrong and stupid but i think it’s great that you tried.
