“I think Zuko and Katara would’ve made a cute couple”
normal person irl: oh yeah, now that you mention it I can see it
ATLA fan online: Zutara fans are DELUSIONAL and so ANNOYING. There is NOTHING in the entire show that indicates anything romantic whatsoever. EVERYONE hates Zutara. Katara would never get with her colonizer and Zuko loves MAI. Katara and Aang are SOULMATES. You just like Zutara because they look good together. Well joke’s on you because Aang got Katara pregnant THREE TIMES —

one thing I never really understood was the idea of a first "I love you" in a relationship being seen as special. but then my friend sent me a birthday message while I was in a self-hating spiral and ended it with "I love you" and it literally reduced me to a sobbing mess.

friend of mine didn't know my immortal wasn't just some made up internet inside joke and promptly pulled it up and read it at the lunch table with her hand over her mouth

Takuma strikes me as a man that would break if you call him "pretty boy."
He had called you something similar amongst the swarm of other compliments praising your appearance because he wants you to know just how beautiful you are to him. "Beauty", "sunshine", or in general "my pretty", not expecting anything in return. He just hopes it would tease you a little, make you all flustered. But nope, you retaliate with "you're one to talk, pretty boy."
And he's just there like "huh?" Not a single thought behind his eyes as his smile morphs into an awkward grin. You're worried until you notice that giveaway red of his ears. Before you can say anything he speaks a louder "huh??!!", trying to hide behind his beanie as if that would ever stop what was about to come.
Because ain't no way you are letting this slide. It is "pretty boy" after "pretty boy" with every opportunity you get. And when you call him "my pretty boy" in front of Nanami? He melts. He is melting, face as red as a beet, unable to form even a word as he just whines from how flustered he feels.
