#Zuko and Sokka: 😍

[bluespiritshonour]

You know what would make for a great story? Sokka demanding that Zuko find his space sword (I have personal bias in favour that dark blade mmrrrr, sexy, yeah I'm thirsting over a blade)

Because... Zuko's really good at finding things. He found Aang. The Gaang had been looking for Appa for days—but Zuko found him the day he started looking. He found his mum. He's meant to find things.

And Sokka just bam slam bursts in one day and says “hurry up! We're gonna find my sword. You owe me that much!”

And they go on a nice (or not so nice) little adventure.

zuko fanart!

reference: luon_live on insta

some easter eggs/details:

- finger + palm prints in scar. his left eye is also more clouded, as (from what i saw on google..) eyes can look similar to this due to extensive trauma. his left ear is also a bit mangled :”(

- palm and finger pads have some light scarring. i like to imagine that with enough use, firebending causes scarring to the most used areas

- long hair! i chose to give him long hair 1) cuz it’s awesome, and 2) bc i wanted to draw him post-atla, a few years into his rule as firelord

- i imagine this scene takes place when, after long neglecting his firebending practice zuko sneaks away from the palace and into a more secluded area near caldera. he was training near water or is sweaty, i don’t know which:)

- sokka arm wrap (+ bandages). what can i say, i like zukka. i also didn’t want him to b completely shirtless, so yeah

- also he has an earring

uh that’s all

Modern high-school/uni ATLA AU!!

Placed during comics

Basically a modern day version of their world but with no bending

Zuko is sophomore at Ba Sing Se University studying political science cuz he HAS too in order to run his country, but his real passion is... THEATER

Sokka is his roommate; he’s studying mechanical engineering and is in the fencing club AND the DnD club but still managed to be a jock; he’s dating Suki of course 🛳 

Katara is a high school senior and for some crazy reason is dating AANG who is a genius and graduated high school when he was 13 so now he’s a freshman in college at 14

Appa is a big, fluffy, ADORABLE sheepdog and Aang has an old van painted to look like him (arrows and all, yip yip) BUT he's only allowed to drive it on back roads because he doesn't have his license yet HAHA so Katara has to drive him everywhere

Aang is allowed to take Appa to school because Aang has anxiety and Appa is his ESA

Momo is literally Toph's seeing-eye lemur

Toph is also a high school sophomore, still blind of course, loves her SONY headphones, birkenstocks, recycle or die ♻️, is a black belt in judo

Suki and her Kyoshi warriors are sorority girls EXCEPT the sorority is just a cover because they're actually Zuko's elite guards and have to be at the university with him hehehe, but it's also still just a sorority 

Suki is on the University’s volleyball team and she slays obvi; also goes the fencing club with Sokka sometimes and is also a brown belt in Karate

Azula is still kinda psycho, likes crashing parties and making life harder for Zuko, likes stealing, college sophomore, she has therapy but ditches sessions, went to college two years early because she was two grades ahead because she was super smart but now her grades are dropping and so are Zuko's because he has to deal with all her misbehavior

Mai is still dating Zuko of course, is extra fashionable and scary, college freshman, has a huge vertical garden in her dorm

Ty Lee does dance studies, yoga, and is definitely a pilates princess who is permanently in Lululemon, college freshman

i've seen a few “zukka can't take showers together” posts and tbh i haven't found one i fully agree w yet. scorching hot and freezing cold and whatever doesn't matter. they are perfectly willing to put up w either. Zuko runs hot and likes cool showers, except when he's in cold climates and takes them warmer. Sokka straight up doesn't like being cold, tho he can put up w it. he likes hot baths and pampering, but he's careful that it doesn't dry out his skin.

the real reason they can't shower together is bc they will absolutely fuck in the shower and one of them will definitely nearly concuss themselves in their eagerness. they're in love and they can't keep their hands off each other! also, they end up taking too long and show up late without the courtesy of calling to let their friends know they're gonna be late bc they're too busy making out to call.

so whenever one of them (or both) has somewhere to be, they shower separately. it's the only way they're almost on time. (they have to stop to make out a little, them's the breaks.)

Quick lil modern love-struck long haired Sokka 💖

[image id: A marker drawing of a man, Sokka, with shoulder length hair. Sokka is blushing and has his hair tucked behind one ear. He is wearing a blue striped button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up with grey jeans. He has a thought bubble on the right with a little chibi Zuko face in it. All around Sokka are pink, red, silver, and gold hearts of many sizes. Down next to his left arm are the artist's name, Coral Jade, and url, honeyedsunlight. /End image id]

[maikingsenseofit]

Just some TRUTH being spilled on Twitter

The best part of Maiko’s relationship is when Sokka says: “The gloomy girl that sighs a lot?” And Zuko’s like 🥰😍☺️Yeahhhh😍☺️☺️

Well there we have it. Mai really is the thief of Zuko’s heart

[starartist]

Okay guys, it's time for me to comment on the appearance of the characters from the Avatar the last airbender series from Netflix😂

These two look brutal, I think they are very powerful and good looking 🔥

I love how good the picture quality is honestly the general Zhao looks good✨️

Let's be honest Azula looks too cute to think she can kill you, I like that ⚡️

Why does Sokka look like he'd rather beat you up than crack a joke and make you laugh 😂

I'll just say that I'm delighted by how beautiful Katara looks. She's unbelievably sweet.😍

I honestly expected this look from Aang. Let's not forget that he is still 12 years old. And now that we see his version in real life it's really that Kaatang won't happen because it would be too embarrassing for everyone.

(We're cheering for Zutara❤️‍🔥)

It's not bad, but I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not really happy with the appearance of Zuko. Very brave of them to put his first hairstyle, I hope in the series his hair will grow and he will look better.

But you all have to agree that the low-budget series could have done the scar look a lot better. Because this looks like that angry Sokka punched him in the face and left him with a bruise😂 .

I know no one is asking me but I wanted to see the identical Zuko in the series, as well as in front of my door but okay we won't talk about that 😂

Avatarverse Hottest Man Tournament!

Grand Final!

alright lets get this over with...

Propaganda Below

Hakoda is seeded first in the tournament, having earned nearly 75% of all votes in his round 1 pool, defeating Fire Lord Ozai, Adult Aang, and Lieutenant Jee, and eliminating Master Yu, Admiral Zhao, Shady Shin, and Chit Sang from the competition.

In round 2, he defeated Amon’s Lieutenant with more than 88% of the votes.

In round 3 he crushed Uncle Iroh with more than 75% of the votes.

In the quarterfinals, he kept his momentum going to crush fellow DILF Tonraq with STILL more than 65% of the votes.

In the semifinals he STILL beat Firebending Heartthrob Mako with nearly 60% of the votes.

We have... ONE propaganda for Hakoda!

But tbh he doesn't need much more. We know what he looks like and what he’s working with. We know he’s an amazing warrior and a sweet dad. We’ve seen his leadership skills and have already crowned him one of the fandom’s top DILFs so… his competitors may have a lot to live up to…

#hakoda sweep

#daddy sweep

#hakoda squad is winning w this one

#DILF SWEEP

#hakoda sweep as god intended

#wanna lick his face#and that's just the beginning

Zuko came in second place in his round one pool, up against some very stiff competition, earning the 10th overall seed in the tournament. He beat out Uncle Iroh, both Bataars, Zaheer, The Boulder, and the Pirate Captain.

He defeated Monk Gyatso in the second round, earning over 83% of the votes!

In the third round he beat Bumi II with over 85% of the votes.

In the quarterfinals he managed to beat DILF King Piandao himself!

Finally, in the semifinals, for some GODDAMN reason he beat Iroh II by a sizeable margin.

There are only three pieces of official art of Adult Zuko, unless you want to count Old Man LoK Zuko which you are more than welcome to.

A hawk comes gliding into the Foggy Swamp and lands easily on Lee’s outstretched arm.

Sokka’s instantly on edge. Why is he getting missives from the Fire Nation? Lee and his father claim they’re part of the Earth Kingdom, but why would they be receiving messages from hawks unless –

“Dad!” Lee shouts, looking around wildly, but Isamu is already making his way towards him. “Suki’s in trouble!”

That doesn’t sound like a Fire Nation name.

“What kind of trouble?” Isamu asks, taking the letter from Lee.

“They were attacked. She and some of her warriors managed to escape, but they’re still after her. We have to help,” he says.

Isamu lets out a long breath. “It’s too dangerous. If you’re caught–”

“I haven’t been before and I won’t now,” Lee insists. “Dad, it’s Suki.”

“I can’t come with you,” Isamu says.

That doesn’t make any sense at all, but Lee nods like it’s a given. “I’ll be okay. I just need to borrow a boat.”

His dad frowns and then suddenly Sokka finds himself under that intense golden gaze. “Take Sokka.”

“What?” he and Lee exclaim at the same time.

“He’s a full warrior and not doing much here besides being miserable,” he says, which is true and rude.

[highfantasy-soul]

Things I LOVED in NATLA Episode 7 - The North

Lt Jee actually being worried for Zuko!!!!

And Iroh tenderly bandaging Zuko's head 🥺

Zuko desperate to make sure his father doesn’t truly think he's turned against him!!!!!

A FANTASTIC set-up for his eventual ACUTAL turn against his father

Zuko genuinely thanking Lt. Jee 😢

And aaggghhhh!!! Zhao being a tricky slimey mf

This is a slick way to get Zuko being blown up without the pirates - though they're fun characters, I think this set-up enhanced the themes they were exploring in the season more

TEAM AVATAR!!

So cute that Aang excitedly tells his friends he made a connection with Zuko - Sokka is unimpressed while Katara has hope that people can turn out to be good.

Agna Qel'a!!!!

It looks GORGEOUS! And love that it has a name now!!

Apparently it was given a name in one of the books, but they never did name it in the show, so I'm glad they did it here

I don't even care that they know it's the Avatar right off bat and they're ready to welcome them in - it was cool as shit flying over the city on Appa

Maybe they had scouts out that saw Appa flying and brought news to the city, same as the scouts who saw the Fire Nation fleet - I'll accept that

Them treating Aang like a weapon rather than a person 😡

It's something that comes up a lot in the series and I'm glad they aren't shying away from it

Lol Katara's sibling jibing at Sokka staring at Yue 🤣

I love these little sibling moments - they're just so cute

And Sokka now hard-core staring at the ground instead of at Yue because Katara said he looked like a weirdo doing that 😅

Zhao's overacting at how pissed he is 🤣

Then his 'omg I can yes and this. I can SO yes and this!' as Iroh tells him what he 'think's happened

Oooohhh Iroh's understated insults at Zhao's qualifications

And Zhao's comeback about no record of failure unlike Iroh😐 bitch, that still doesn't make you qualified!

More Azulaaa!!!!

I really love this added storyline to see exactly why Azula is the way she is

It's great to see that her place as next-in-line isn't a shoe-in here - she's desperate to show her father that 'she's the one' and will do anything to get there

Sokka's heart eyes 😍

Stewed sea prunes 😭😭😭

"It tastes like home" 😢

I like this intro to Pakku - like with Sokka, they're not doing a comical level of sexism, they're making it more realistic

YUE IS A BEEENNDDEERR!!!!!!

Also, using it for the most important things: dessert

Sokka's absolutely abysmal (bet very endearing) interaction attempts with Yue 😅

Her little fake gasps as he keeps saying the wrong thing, but smiling because she knows what he means, she's just teasing him 🥺 incredibly adorable

Love that they have a conversation that actually has substance!

Don't hate me, but in the cartoon, they never had a substantive conversation ONCE. It was just Sokka flirting, Yue giggling, then Yue freaking out and running away - rinse and repeat like, 5 times in the course of 3 episodes.

Omg Hahn isn't a dick!!!

I like the more mature tone they've taken in the live action - they can have jokes, but for serious topics like…idk, a battle against the Northern Water Tribe being genocided, they make the characters take it seriously

GOOOOODDDD the adults expecting Aang to be a master strategist and offensive weapon!!

This actually makes sense that they'd believe he could do it - Aang is the culmination of all the past Avatars, so they'd assume he has all their knowledge and power.

The poor kid just got out of his iceberg, though!!!

"Airbending is primarily a defensive discipline"

You tell them, Aang!!

"But you're not JUST an airbender" :( don't bring logic and reality into this, Arnook

"I did it with the help of my friends 😊"  sweet baby Aang

And here's Pakku, telling Aang what a lot of watchers were frustrated about this season: uuhh maybe you should have been focused on your training

While that's a legit comment, I think the live-action showed why Aang didn't pretty well

Love love LOVE that we're introduced to healing with respect rather than the distain it was shown in the animated series

Healing is a wonderful and beautiful skill and I'm glad we got to see Katara interested in it (and it being used) rather than Katara sadly moping into the igloo filled with children learning healing

Sometimes, when people try to make things less sexist, they end up making it more-so. I think that happened with the animated series where healing was actually put up in conflict with combat - where combat was clearly shown as the 'better' skill and healing was 'stupid and bad, we don’t want to do that'. The live-action showed that healing is an important and powerful skill, the only issue comes when you aren't ALLOWED to do anything else. Healing itself isn't the issue, the fact the women are kept from combat IS the issue.

Nice Hahn and Sokka fishing for info about Yue

Avatar Kuruk RESPECT!!!!

LOVE Yue getting more character here!

She can pop into the spirit world! It makes so much sense with her having part of the moon spirit inside her!

The live action fleshed her out soooo well!

Poor Sokka not understanding AT ALL why someone would want to go to the Spirit World for fun 😂

"Don't do that. Don't make it less than what it is"

Such an important message for EVERYONE. You don’t have to have the most tragic of backstories for your trauma to be important. This isn't the oppression olympics - we aren't doing the whole 'well someone else has it worse so you can't complain' bullshit.

Everyone has hurt in their lives and everyone deserves to have their hurt taken seriously and healed. It isn't 'strength' to pretend it's nothing - it's strength to face it and accept that it was important, not something to shove under the rug

Yue reminding Sokka about what makes him special - his care for his friends! He's not a selfish guy - just because he wasn't the best leader or warrior when he was 13 doesn't mean he has nothing to offer the world

"Hahn is everything a girl could want. But he is not the boy of my dreams" 😭😭😭

"Being the Avatar means being the one who bears the burden: alone."

The thing is: like in the animated version, this advice MAKES SENSE! But it's how you USE the advice that makes the difference

No, you can't put all the weight of responsibility on your friends, but neither can you do it without any help - or without caring for others. It's very much advice coming from pain: all the Avatars got hurt because they DIDN'T abandon their friends and so they're giving a skewed version of the advice onto Aang to try to spare him the pain they went through.

It's Aang's job to find the balance

Sokka's fish carving that Yue thinks is a bear 😭😭😭

I wanna see it, props department!!!!

Yeess!! Katara's first confrontation with Pakku!

I like how she still tries to lead with diplomacy, making her case, and Pakku has 'reasonable' excuses not to let her fight

Instead of him being cartoonishly sexist, he's much more realistic giving 'logical' reasons for Katara not to be in combat, but she stands up anyways because she knows it's wrong.

I can see how some might find Aang not wanting Katara to fight to be jarring, but this is in line with the animated series

When they're going into particularly dangerous missions, Aang does have a tendency to try to do it himself and tell Katara to sit this one out - he does it in The Winter Solstice: Part 2.

He's just been told a past life's love was killed because he didn't keep her out of his fight, he has no idea how he's going to win this battle, and he's realizing that he does see Katara as someone incredibly important to him. It's in line with who Aang is to try to keep her safe and away from the battle

Zhao coming up with nicknames for himself 😑

Iroh straight up calling Fire Nation 'info' propaganda!!

While some people could see this as 'treason', when you're in positions of power in high-control groups, you KNOW it's propaganda - you HELP CREATE the lies and when people are going to do something stupid (like attack the North without a solid plan), you let them know that they're being stupid if they're going to make battle plans based on the lies you've helped spread.

Zhao and his dumb bitch destiny 🙄 he's such a great villain - he's one who's bought into his own lies

"The plan is to prove my father wasn't wrong to trust me with this mission. The plan is to go in and capture the Avatar once and for all. The PLAN is to reclaim what is rightfully MINE!! 😤" - "So, no plan? 😐" - "I'm working on it uncle 🥺"

This exchange = gold. Pure gold.

"It's almost as if he's working for someone else - someone much smarter"

WOOOOWWW Iroh, throw that shade a little more, why don't ya 🤣

Though I LOVE that they're giving Azula her brainy due - she's smart and she's the one not to be underestimated.

AZULA'S LIGHTNING!!!!!!!

Love how she stood up to her father, but because she was able to 'prove' her strength, he respected it rather than punished it

"Set me loose" AAAAHHHHHHH

SUPPORTIVE BROTHER SOKKA!!!

Love how matter of fact Katara is "I'm going to challenge Pakku to fight" - just like that. She's decided, so it's going to happen.

Sokka admitting Katara was right 😭😭😭😭😭

"Who's talking sense? What I'm trying to say is: go kick his ass" FUCK YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!!!!

Aang trying to go forward and help Katara, but Sokka holds him back

Love the sibling solidarity!!

The fight is almost beat for beat the one from the animated series!!!

I love that the live action knew exactly which sequences to put in almost 1-1 from the animated - this fight being one of them

"Is that all you got?!?!" FUCK YEAH!!

"They'll just say I lost" "Did you?"

The fact that it wasn't just Pakku's opinion that would change everything - Katara's actions inspired everyone else, even if Pakku didn't want to change his decision.

Change isn't made by changing one man's mind - it's about standing up to them and inspiring others (like in the Imprisoned storyline) to stand up too

Even inspiring Aang to realize that the conclusion the other Avatars came to from their pain was wrong - that Katara was right and that EVERYONE gets to choose whether to fight or not for themselves

Avatars aren't the only ones who worry about protecting people - it's a human, family thing, not just a mystical force of balance thing

Only Aang can write his own story - not anyone else.

This is a great through-line for the whole series where everyone has expectations put on them and they have to decide themselves who they want to be

Don't eat the sooty snow, Momo!!!!!

"Ok, time to fight"

I like that we end on the fire nation ships arriving: next episode is going to be THE BATTLE

[Masterlist of my NATLA thoughts]

[leantailean]

no thoughts, head empty, just arranged marriage toko 😍

Hello!🖤

Never before i was interested in such a trope, even though its the most popular trope in the toko fandom. Maybe partially because i see Zuko and Toph relationship as absolutely possible in canon (post canon I mean). With their real canon personalities and stories, nothing should be adjusted or rethought to make these possible relationship exist and work. Meanwhile arranged marriage is always an AU trope. But recently I've been thinking over it more and I believe that it would be so interesting to explore their dymanic in AU where they met and needed to marry being very young and where their marriage was planned by self-serving and greedy adults from the beginning. By adults who didn't care for those children's life and well-being. and see how these kids, traumatised to cruelty and indifference of adults, slovely find a support in each other and grow fond of ach other and, in the end, find that joy of mutual love that they were stripped of for the most of their lives. They are only for each other and they are the whole world for each other.

When I think of it I always remember the movie "Lady Jane" with Helena Bonham Carter in a main role. Astonishing movie and everyone should watch it. There main characters has the very dynamic that would be between Toph and zuko in the arranged wedding AU. Lonely kids bound together be abuse and selfishness of adults, finding help and support in each other. Jake and Gilford was just pawns in their cruel parents game and perished because of it. I really hope that in such an AU Toph and Zuko's life would be different.

While I was writng it I though of one more interesting parallel that Toph and Zuko shares. Unlike Aang, Katara and Sokka who had some sort of connection to their peers during growing up and learned how to communicate and be friends Toph and Zuko were deprived of such an experience. They were alone among the adults who didn't care much for their wellbeing. Azula had same friends, but we see no kids around zuko. Seems like Ozai purposfully isolated him as a form of abuse and control. Toph was hidden by her parents from the world and people even didn't know that Naifongs have a daughter. This experience of isolation and lonely childhood defines their personalities. Aang, Sokka and Katara are first friendly peers they ever had and the only accepting family.

[the-badger-mole]

I love checking my email every hour on saturdays to see the notification for Uncharted Waters and immediately get my heart ripped out 🤩

I really thought it was gonna go smoothly for Zuko, and then you brought up his mother, and I was immediately like "yeah this is gonna be sad," and it was! Thank you for ripping my heart out and shredding it to pieces 😍 I cried!

I also have a question. Do you have the whole fic outlined and planned, or do you only have the next few chapters outlined? I'm really curious

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I don't have everything planned out for this story. I have a vague idea of where it's going, and I have certain plot points that I really want to hit, but I don't even know how long this story is going to end up being. I hadn't really intended it to be as long as it already is. Originally, they spent a few weeks on the island and then almost immediately found Aang and Sokka after they made it off, but then they ended up being rescued by pirates, and I thought...yeah. Okay, maybe they don't immediately find Katara's friends. And like 20+ more chapters than I intended later, here we are.

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

Just saw this ridukulus argument for zutara that "Zuko didn't look down at her because she was a girl 😍😍."..... Like I'm pretty sure that's the bare minimum buddy. Also, yeah, he didn't look down at her because of her gender, he looked down at her because of her RACE.

And you know who posted this? Buzzfeed. Fucking buzzfeed! One of the most radfem websites of all time thinks a girl "belongs" with a guy because he isn't a misogynistic shit. Like... wot???

...Buzzfeed still exists? Damn, society truly has failed.

And like, even ignoring the fact that Zuko looked down on Katara for her race, he was not the only male character in the show who didn't look down on Katara for her gender. Hell, the overwhelming majority of the male characters, including the villains, did not give a shit about the fact that Katara was a girl.

Pakku was the only guy that was genuinely antagonistic to Katara because she was "a female that didn't know her place." Even Sokka's sexist comments towards her were mostly him being an annoying older sibling and deliberately trying to piss her off.

Zuko is not special just because he wasn't a raging misogynist - and more importantly, he wasn't into Katara, nor was she into him, so the "would he be good for her?" question is irrelevant.

[comradekatara]

re your call for questions….. (i know you’ve done a lot of “the gaang and” type asks and there’s no way i’ve seen all of them so excuse me if you’ve done this or something like it before but…) would the gaang enjoy gardening? if so, who would lean more towards flowers vs fruits & vegetables vs herbs?

ok well we literally do see suki grow beans in suki alone so i’ve gotta list her first. since her village is so near the unagi they probably wouldn’t fish, instead getting all their food from gardening and foraging. she’s been helping out in the community garden since she was little, foraging for beans and mushrooms, and maybe she also has her own little personal garden where she grows flowers and weed babeyyyyyy

iroh grows his own tea leaves in ba sing se. of course. fucking obviously

air nomads definitely garden, like they literally live in the mountains and they don’t eat meat (they do eat eggs though! fun fact), so of course they’re growing their own food. idk if aang would have his own garden though, since they would be tended to by the monks and kids who live full-time at the temples and then the nomads who come back to visit, and there aren’t enough people to tend to a garden now that... yknow. but he definitely likes helping suki and iroh and his other friends out with their gardens when he visits them. he especially loves fruit trees that flower in the spring, and spends a lot of time in the orchards on the outskirts of ba sing se whenever he’s there (especially since he hates the rest of the city). overall, gardening is very calming for him, and reminds him of his childhood.

katara comes back from a visit to kyoshi island and is like “wow i love gardens 😍✨ i wish we had a community garden 🥬🍅🥦🥔 where we grew all our vegetables 🥒🌶🌽🥕and then put them into a 🍜 big soup 🍲 🥘 and also we could have 🌹🌷🌻 flowers in our garden 🌸 ✨ just to make it pretty 😌💕” and kanna gestures to the ground, which is covered in snow literally year round, and is like “yeah? okay good luck with that.”

toph likes dirt and digging in the dirt for worms so while she has absolutely no fucking clue how to actually garden she likes showing off helping people out by earthbending divots in the soil with machine-like precision and making fancy little gates out of earth with ornate detailing all in 3 seconds flat, just because she can.

suki shows sokka her garden but almost immediately he annoys her with questions like “how can you be sure you’re giving them the exact right amount of water each day if you take into account the humidity and the type of soil— what do you mean you just wing it???? are you also telling me you don’t even move your plants under the shade when the sun is too hot or put tarp over them when it rains— no rain isnt ‘good for them’ you’ll overwater them they’ll drown!!!!! suki suki suki what do you mean you don’t keep a logbook tracking their progress??? then how do you record your data so you know what to do and what not to do next season???? no one here keeps a logbook???? how do you people even survive????????” and that’s how sokka gets banned from ever talking about or thinking about or even looking at a garden ever again for the rest of his life.

i think zuko might have fun with a little flower garden but it cannot be bigger than one square foot i mean do u remember what happened when he tried to use a hammer and nail??? i don’t trust him to do manual labor he’s a spoiled little prince he’s not built for it 😓

azula would also be shit at gardening for this same reason, but i also think it’s why she needs to. zuko did manual labor in book 2, and granted, while very bad at it, it did humble him. although I also fear she’d get extremely neurotic about it in the same way sokka would, so i think eventually whoever made her start gardening is probably just like “okay you’ve been sufficiently humbled you can stop now”

suki shows ty lee how to garden on kyoshi island but then she gets really mad bc ty lee somehow still looks hot even while she’s hunched over digging around in the dirt. suki is so pissed off abt this she has go lie down for three hours

mai hates doing manual labor, she hates tedium, and most of all, she hates getting dirt on her hands. even if u tried to make her garden to humble her, she simply wouldn’t do it. she’d just sit in the shade and make snarky remarks about how she’d rather kill herself than touch a vegetable before it’s been cooked and put on her plate. even if her only choices were gardening and starving to death, she would gladly go on a hunger strike. that is how much mai absolutely refuses to garden, even a little bit.

[lossie92]

Lossie! What made you a Zutara shipper 😍 and do you have other ATLA ships?

Hi anon 👋

I really loved the progression of their relationship in the show. It was so, so good. There was so much respect and understanding gained, and it all cumulated in Zuko saving Katara's life. I'm a sucker for romance like that 😶

Hmm other ships... I like Sokka and Toph a lot. Also think that Mai and Ty Lee are adorable together 🥺 That's kind of it, I think? When it comes to ships I really like cause there are a few I just don't mind, but wouldn't for e.g. read a fic about, ya know?
