Why YOU Should Ship Katara x Iroh and NOT Zutara/Kataang

I know, I know, just hear me out. We're all aware of how Katara aspires to be a maternal figure, given that she believes she is at fault for her mother's death. Sokka's line from "The Runaway":

Sokka: I'm gonna tell you something crazy. I never told anyone this before, but honestly, I'm not sure I can remember what my mother looked like. It really seems like my whole life, Katara has been the one looking out for me. She's always been the one that's there.

All good? Yay! But what does that have to do with Iroh? The narrative draws parallels between Zuko's relationship to Iroh and to Katara. Katara is Zuko's aunt.

In The Crossroads of Destiny, Zuko betrayed both Iroh and Katara. It's a painful betrayal and its weight is carried all the way to the ending of Book 3. When he reaches out to redeem his honor, he patiently waits inside/outside their respective tents. This is not only a parallel, but it proves that Zuko thinks of Katara similarly to Iroh. In other words, he thinks of her as his aunt.

Now that the parallels are in place, A:TLA, as usual, does something brilliant. It brings back Zuko's faliure from season 2. In The Chase, Zuko failed to shield Iroh – his uncle – from Azula's lightning. In Sozin's Comet, Zuko finally managed to shield Katara – his aunt – from Azula's lightning. As Zuko's last act of redemption, he finally fixes his mistake.

Through beautiful symbolism, the show gives us irrefutable evidence that Katara is Zuko's aunt. Therefore, she must be shipped with Iroh. Shipping her with anyone else is frankly appalling and ignores what the story was clearly signaling you. Case closed.

We all know and love “the prince and the fool” NOTHING NEW HERE

But might I suggest: Sokka and Zuko calling each other the prince and the fool as pet names to pick on each other after they finally get over themselves and get together, and realizing that Iroh was painfully right all along

hi whats prince and the fool day

hi!

a while back the book Legacy of the Fire Nation was released and it had this quote in it, from a letter Iroh wrote to Zuko:

needless to say, zukka nation went a bit crazy about it. today's the anniversary of the book being released and so ppl think of the quote and have fun with it

full quote in the read more:

“Sokka: I never considered sarcasm a natural element--until I met Sokka, that is. If what comes out of that boy's mouth is not considered a special type of bending, I don't know what bending is. At first, I would have dismissed Sokka as the weakest link in Team Avatar as he has no elemental powers. But it was his bravery and heart that gave his friends their strength, and in turn gave you an example of how friends could be your advocate in life and an asset in battle. The prince and the fool. But is that all you and Sokka were, or were to one another? No, I think not. There, see? I got to answer my own question. One of the many joys of writing this to you. Well, that and I don’t have to hear your back talk. But talking is most of what Sokka is: a mouth on legs. That gets him into plenty of trouble on its own. But it was when Sokka chose to act that you both got in over your heads. His fool desire to save his father from the bowels of the Boiling Rock prison without a plan, without help--it was only you who knew what Sokka was trying to do. And you stepped up. Sokka was brave enough to do something stupid for someone else, but he needed you, Zuko, to remind him that being brave can mean failing. Your experience with failure and your refusal to give up helped Sokka when he needed it most. And maybe you needed a bit of his foolhardy spirit to remind you that you are human too and that trying to do the honorable thing doesn't always mean doing the right thing.”

_APRIL FOOL!_ wip

Fanart/fancomics: Batman / Joker (Batman franchise DC comics / WB)

I wish I had more time to work on this, but I’ll finish it tomorrow. I’ve just created a short comics (two pages) and this is just the opening image.

scribbles of this guy again

[zuppizup]

how many wips you currently got?

😬

A lot…? Most of them are random notes in badly filed documents though.

I guess the ones I’ve been actively working on this month…

And They Were Zoom-mates… silly modern AU that got completely out of control. 225k series for some reason. One chapter left when my brain applies itself to editing.

Purgatory - early canon divergence. Back from mini-hiatus. Currently at chapter 39. Hoping to finish by chapter 50… bit I’m side eyeing that projection.

Tio-verse multi-chapter - unpublished WIP. Projecting ~10 chapters and approximately 50% complete.

Dark Alternative - Dark magic AU. Rayllum childhood friends to lovers. ~20+ chapters (projected, likely more) Currently 50k WIP doc

Out Of Time sequel - God… like… I wanna but I don’t. They were finally happy in that ‘verse. And yet… Six uber sad chapters. Currently 10k written. I can tell it wouldn’t take much to finish but the guilts get me.

Snake Boi Callum fic - failing to adhere to a 500 word limit to the prompts so ~4K at present. Aiming to publish for that event.

Bloodythirsty follow up - no idea why, but liked this AU and wanted more. Probably half done. Have in my head to post for Halloween. Maybe an M/E rated additional chapter because vampire are hot.

I have a lot of other half baked ideas (Finnegrin’s Wake from both Rayla and Callum’s POV, one-sided Sorayla fic, super random regency fic) that get picked up every now and then, but the ones above are the ones most likely to see competition/AO3 at all.

Saw the expression meme. How about 2 7 11 and 15 for Wukong and his kids? You can decide who gets what expression between them. :3

Incredibly sketchy, but here's the immediate Sun family in all their expression-filled glory! From top to bottom we've got Sun Wukong, Luohou, Yuebei Xing, and Jidu. And thanks for the request anon; this is messy, but it was very fun :3
