#zuko x katara

[lphoenixspiritl]

Zuko finds out Katara was parentified from the age of eight and was a single mom friend of three until he stumbled into the position of gaang dad friend. So when she visits the Fire Nation Zuko dotes on her, making sure her every need is anticipated and catered to. He even goes as far as - to the horror of his council - kneeling to remove her shoes.

Because of this she earns the nickname Lady Katara among the palace staff which she finds amusing but a little confusing. So one day over tea she asks Iroh why they call her that and he explains:

"They're just practicing."

"Why would you need to practice a nickname?"

"Well my dear, they expect that within a few years Fire will preceed it."

And that's about when Katara chokes on her tea.

More zutara 😬

take the zutara NOW🥰

[oceanview15]

Katara: We can't lose. Because we have this. *points to her chest*

Zuko: We have heart?

Katara: Heart? No, me. I'm pointing at myself. I'm going to win this for us.

why do kat@@ng shippers feel the need to go into zutara spaces to bash them?

maybe it’s just me but i rarely ever see zutara shippers on kat@@ng posts bashing them unless it also has to do w zutara. but for some reason they are EVERYWHERE on zutara fics, posts, twt, tiktok. i can’t scroll on a zutara edit for more than 3 seconds before someone’s bashing on zutara shippers.

why are they so insecure abt their ship? i don’t understand? they are like jealous girlfriends calling out everyone under the sun instead of looking at a mirror?? i get you don’t enjoy it & that’s fine but calling us delusional (which is such a stupid take when there’s so much content to back up zutara and or to analyze the ship as a whole) or toxic, idiots, bashing on our charachter etc like pls im just tryna enjoy a zutara post why am i getting called a colonizer

They changed the whole Kat/Aang moment in the cave of two lovers with Sokka and Katara

And added this unnecessary scene for Zutara

Then, who would have thought that Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani, the writer and director of the Omashu episode, would become the new ATLA showrunners?

With that fact, also the age gap between the actors, I wouldn't expect more my ship to be canon if I'm an other shipper.

I'm not saying Zutara will definitely be canon. I think, 'no romance ending' would be more make sense. But I have feeling they will give more crumbs for Zutara in the next two seasons. I can't wait!

What are some of your Zutara head cannons???

I love the idea of Katara making the first move bc Zuko is convinced she couldn’t possibly like him back (even though it’s so obvious that she does). And if when they do get together he’s very much “I can’t believe she likes me” even after an entire life time together but at the same time he knows she’d go to hell and back for him.

They’d make the perfect slow burn after the Agni Kai imo. Because of course they’re inseparable after something like that

Awkward Zuko and Toph/Iroh/Suki playing matchmaker are also some personal favorites 😂

EVEN MOREEEEE Zutara incorrect quotes

-

Zuko: I’m in love with you.

Katara: We called off the prank war last night at midnight, dork.

Zuko: I know.

Katara: Ah. Okay. Um. Cool. Neat. Very cool. Cool. Cool. Coolcoolcool-

-

Zuko: So you like cats?

Katara: Yeah.

Zuko: *tries to impress her by slowly pushing a glass off the table*

-

Zuko: My crush isn’t picking up on my hints.

Katara: What hints have you given them?

Zuko: Well, I think about her a lot.

Zuko: And sometimes I even think about talking to her.

-

Zuko: Can you cut me some slack, Katara? I’m sort of in love.

Katara: I’m sorry, but that’s really not my problem.

Zuko: I’m in love with you.

Katara: *blushes* Oh. That brings me in the loop a little.

-

Zuko: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.

Katara: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.

Zuko: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??

Katara: Is it working?

-

Zuko: I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you.

Katara: That's great, Zuko. Especially considering the fact we've been married for 6 fucking years.

-

Katara: I was going to suggest we do Marilyn Monroe and JFK roleplay, but I’d get way too into it.

Zuko: What- how?

Katara: You’d be like “come to bed … Mr. President” and I’d be like, “I need to increase the amount of American military advisors in South Vietnam by a factor of 18.”

-

Zuko: Babe, you're so funny!

Katara: We have 1492 days until your tragic premature death. You will break my trust three times before that happens, but I forgive you.

Zuko: Awwww, that's sweet of you!

Are supposed to believe that Kat@@ng has been built for 3 seasons?

Sure, if we choose to ignore Katara altogether (which seems to be a theme ~ cof, cof ~) then I could argue that it has been set up, but a ship isn't just about one half of it, it has to be about the two.

For 2 halfs of the animation, we see that Aang is developing a crush on her which is fine because he's a child and it's hard not to develop feelings for someone when you spend 24 hours with said person.

But the thing is, what about Katara? Yes, we see her get "jealous" and "upset" over Aang in a few instances, but that shouldn't be enough for us to automatically assume she should spend the rest of her life with him.

Katara herself was confused for most of season 3 and prior to that barely seemed to acknowledge Aang at all or to feel anything for him other than platonic love. When he kisses her without her consent, she tells again that she was confused and gets angry at how her boundaries were crossed (rightfully so).

But then right in the end all of her confusion just magically goes away so she can act as a prize for Aang. All her inner turmoil, all her thoughts about whether or not she feels like that about him go to hell and she barely has time to process anything and it's expected to be at his side.

Her confused feelings don't matter (notice I'm not automatically saying she didn't have any, just that she didn't have time to acknowledge whether or not she was confused and if what she felt was truly romantic in nature), she was just expected to be with him because he was the hero.

And suddenly all of Katara's growth and character arc became non important, she was a mere afterthought just so a guy could get the girl

Can we please address how healing it must be for zuko’s inner child to be friends with the gaang? He really mentally whoohooed at the prospect of getting used to group hugs.

GROUP HUGS

Back to my brief Zutara phase

[mayskalih]

[oceanview15]

Zuko: Katara, why are you crying?

Katara: This book is so sad!

Zuko, picking it up: But this is my diary-

[lovesickloverr]

no bc where in between the tension did people get “katara is the little sister zuko never had” from?
