#zukka proposal

[zukkaart]

Zuko: The sages may never marry us and your mother may never know me but I can kiss you over a glass of fire whiskey and dance with you under Tui’s light, and if that isn’t marriage then I don’t know what Agni is looking for

The long-time-coming Midwest Zukka proposal story is finally here! Check out "The Question" for the snappiest, sweetest, romantic + disastrous culmination of Sokka and Zuko's relationship.

I do plan to continue the series from here, but my writing has slowed down a bit so there will be larger gaps between posting. But I'm definitely not done with these boys!

Also, if you have post-proposal story ideas, throw them my way! Always looking for more possible fics to write.

To all my fellow, “Zukka in the southern water tribe” enthusiasts

the zukka puns... continue!!

originally a bad joke by jeff, with the scenery of the first panel based on the Jianbi pavilion in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing and the pose of the second panel based on this photo. i am very happy with how the perspective and the colors turned out :) i should make more architectural drawings for fun

you know,,,the tumblr trending system is a joke and anything will trend as long as a bunch of people decide to post about it at the same time. so where i am going with this, as co-general, i believe it would be funny if, by chance,

here's the thing

if (when?) we organize a massive divorced zukka day there are two possible outcomes:

we are successful in getting divorced zukka to trend. everyone unfamiliar with the concept is extremely confused. ztaras think the evil is defeated but really we are stronger than ever. we teehee we giggle we even ha ha. it's a beautiful and glorious day.

we are not successful in getting divorced zukka to trend, but there is a fuckton of new divorced zukka content in the world. dozens of new posts to circulate and go insane over. we probably convert more people to our cause.

like...there is no scenario in which we as co-generals of divorced zukka nation lose.....i see the vision....

the precise moment sokka falls in love with zuko

sokka (collapsing onto the nearest surface): there is no meaning to life

zuko (no hesitation): that's nice sweetie

[theolddivorcedzukka]

“i’d marry you with paper rings” x “i wouldn’t marry me either” but it’s just zuko about sokka and it’s taken five minutes away from each other

[luolii]

i offer you: valdangelo au where they’re princes in the middle of a war and reluctantly team up to stop both of their nations from destroying each other. they’re with the gang too. oh also they have elemental powers. 

it’s zukka. they’re zukka.

do y’all think zuko and sokka sent sappy letters to each other with the most heartfelt poems ever written saying how much they missed the other just for historians, decades after their death, to say that they were real good friends?

I burned my arm while trying to Iron in the dark this morning 😭

ANYWAYS, here’s day 7 (woo goo, last day!) of my post-poll-win week zukka headcanon posts!! (Putting it under the cut because this one’s a bit longer, lol)

So I’d seen a video recently about someone proposing at a friend/relative’s wedding (the whole thing where they pretend to toss the Bouquet then hand it off to a person who proposes) and it made me think; What if Katara practically forced Zuko to propose to Sokka during her wedding?

Ok here’s my thought process: while her and Aang were engaged, she overheard him saying something along the lines of knowing that Sokka was the person he wanted to marry, but being nervous to do it and not knowing how. So Katara, being the person that she is, immediately took over the situation and took it upon herself to plan the most perfect proposal for her brother, and ended up having the “brilliant” - in her words- idea for it to happen at her and Aang’s upcoming wedding! All their family and friends would already be there, and they’d both already be dressed their best for pictures! (Because she knew that Sokka would want to look his best and beat himself up over it later if he didn’t)

Zuko was hesitant at first, and kept asking if she was sure she was ok with it, not wanting to steal her spot light on her big day, but she enforced that if he backed down she would tell Sokka he was being a jerk to her and get them to break up with each other… he didn’t wanna find out if she was bluffing.

They spent the following months leading up to the wedding planning everything out, along with letting a couple of their closest friends in on their little secret, and when Katara found out Zuko didn’t have a ring yet she texted him a very passionate message: “Zuko I swear to god if you don’t get off your ass and go get the most beautiful and perfect and EXPENSIVE ring you can find, I will BURY you 6 feet underground and go find one myself!!”

The day of the wedding everything went (mostly) according to plan. The newly weds, as well as everyone else in atendence, had an amazing and memorable night! They waited until only their close friends and family were around for the proposal, and it went wonderfully! He said yes, of course, and finally understood why Katara was being so nit picky about his appearance all night (and quietly thanked her) <3

[zukkaart]

Zuko: Am I worthy of this? Am I deserving enough when everything I touch turns to ash?

Sokka: Thats irrelevant. Do you want it?

Zuko: wha- what? What do you mean?

Sokka: Do. You. Want. It?

Zuko: Yes, more than anything

Sokka: Good.

Sokka takes Zukos still violently trembling hands in his own, and carefully pulls a golden ring from his pocket.

The Midwest Bi Disasters are back! "The Post-Proposal Adventure" definitely started out as just pure stupid fluff, but then Zuko started having some trauma responses to the concept of marriage and now it's only mostly stupid fluff. Even so, this first chapter is purely Sokka picking up Boomerang, telling people he got engaged, and then having a kitten adventure inspired by a tiktok video.

Thanks to @sorryimabitanxious for being my tiktok buddy and brainstorming this fic with me. Sorry for getting too excited and posting it before you could read it 🙃

Also thanks to all of you for your support and patience! This series will definitely continue but will likely be a bit slower coming bc my writing has just sorta... stalled out for a while. I'm blaming teaching. Even so, if you ever wanna chat or have fic ideas, I'm always open to it!

The sun disappears in the South Pole for a few weeks every year.

This is a fact, but it is also a metaphor.

I see a lot of "oh this was an accidental proposal and katara continuing to wear it is an on purpose acceptance"

I don't think that's accurate and the ship is really not my thing anymore anyways but you know what would be absolutely hilarious?

katara tells her family about this and then fast forward to a post-war zukka relationship where zuko's for real proposing and is asking Hakoda and Bato - who love chaos as much as they love their children and son-in-law - for permission as a courtesy and they're just like "we cannot in good conscience allow this while you're still betrothed to our daughter" and Zuko's just like "WHAT" and it turns into a comedy of zuko doing more and more absolutely fucking weird and outlandish things to "break the engagement to katara" so he can marry sokka. just 100% a twelve labours type thing except they're actually achievable because there's no need to repeat that trauma (although maybe the final task is "bring me the avatar" and that's when he realizes he's being fucked with)

katara gets roped in and is having a blast. sokka however is blissfully unaware until the final moments - or if angst is more your thing, he's wondering if the reason zuko is always busy lately is because he's getting ready to break up with him, maybe throw in zuko spending more time around katara and sokka's "guy with a boomerang" insecurities for shits and giggles

[bisexuallsokka]

the only zukka proposals i accept are either 1) it’s a total cringe fail proposal and it ends up in a twenty year long break up or 2) they both elaborately plan some very meaningful proposal and when one proposes the other reveals he was going to do the same that day and it’s the most romantic event in the history of the world. no in between.
