can i be real with you guys for a second. do i have permission to speak my truth without being flayed alive. just for a moment. the way many of you talk about zuka makes me think you guys don’t actually enjoy their relationship. people will be like “oh i love how it’s grumpy x sunshine because zuko is a little grouchy grouch and sokka is funny and flirty and bubbly” and i’m just like……. in what world?????????? i don’t think you guys ship zuck actually i think you guys just wish you could ship zukang without being perceived as weird for age gap reasons. but in no world is zucchini a ship wherein sokka is emotionally uplifting zuko thru the power of love and friendship. they’re literally both suicidal freaks. and yet people love making them not only as boring as possible, but also giving sokka a personality transplant (aang’s personality, to be specific) because they hate the source material or they just see conventionally attractive teenage boys and black out or who knows what. but it’s okay you guys can just ship zukang if that’s really what you want out of their dynamic. i won’t judge
I want the “undercover as a couple” trope where they never fall in love, they’re just best friends being silly.
So it’s like, “Dude is that seriously your A-game, how do you ever get laid?”
And trying to gross each other out by eating onions and tuna before kissing.
And nearly blowing the op because one of them slips a hand in the other one’s pants and finds a tiny army man in their underwear.
And playing the most competitive game of gay chicken ever where they’re not turned on but they’re stubbornly ripping each other’s clothes off before someone on comms is like, “Uhhh are you gonna stop?” And they’re both like, “NO! I will win this!”
And also the trust from knowing each other’s triggers and boundaries because they’ve seen each other through some Shit Relationships.
So it’s just genuine platonic dudes comfortable in their masculinity and sexuality and friendship.
That is my ultimate idea of an indulgent comfort fic.
He reposted a THIRST TRAP video of himself! Can you imagine him scrolling on TikTok and finding this? And him being like yeah I should repost it on my instagram story.
The bits where he is really close/flirty with Tommy and Bojan just the cherry on the top.
