#zutara headcanon

[teapotteakettle]

the fire lady will see you now~

I just can't get over the idea of katara falling in love with just how much water there is in the fire nation - the beaches, the ponds, the water lillies. that she's not giving up her element, but embracing a different, warmer facet of it. that she would take to dressing in these vibrant, watery blue silk robes that make zuko absolutely lose his mind

[korielle-writiting-fanfics]

if zutara would have happened the azulon statue would have been replaced with katara i don’t have proof of this except vibes

[allthebestnamesweretaken]

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 😂

Zutara headcanons?

- katara found out how zuko got his scar while he was sleeping and compared the shape to her hand

- they never actually got together, even in my most delusional hcs :3 theyre like lovers that will always love each other but it was right person wrong time

- they feed the turtle ducks together 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

- katara feels sad when she looks at zuko's lighting scar. zuko also feels sad looking at aang's scar but it isnt the same, zuko feels ashamed and angry at himself.

- zuko dotes on katara when she visits the fire nation, he does that sm people think he will propose to her

- zuko likes coffee better than tea and for that katara has gotten into fights w him lmao

- he will ALWAYS get his ass handed to him if theyre training

- he nearly killed nobles while trying to do politics so he could pass katara's projects

- katara likes leaning on zuko's shoulder everywhere but especially when theyre out at the garden

- katara likes to squish zuko's cheeks

- artist zuko is one of my fav hcs so him drawing katara desperately and never liking anything bc nothing is beautiful like her will always be *chef kiss*

random, but I just realized that in, say, a hypothetical alternate universe where the writers made Katara and Zuko fall in love, get married, and have kids, Zuko would most certainly teach their child non-bending means of attacking/defending themselves. Hell broke loose when Tui was temporarily dead, which left all water-benders temporarily unable to bend. A Solar Eclipse event leaves all fire-benders temporarily unable to bend as well. Katara and Zuko both experienced what it's like for them and all of the fellow benders of their element to lose their powers on a massive alert scale. Zuko and Katara would 200% have their child learn the way of the sword and martial arts. Not just because of culture, but because Zuko and Katara know how scary things get when your bending is turned off in such a serious way, and wouldn't want their child to be defenseless.

AAAAA SO CUTE I LOVE THIS!!! Additionally, their uncle would be the Chief if the Southern Water Tribe and their aunt would be the leader of the Kyoshi warriors. They're fan and sword!!

Let's not forget that Ty Lee taught the Kyoshi warriors chi blocking!! Remember that Ty Lee destroyed Katara. If they have a none bender child theh could go toe to toe with bending masters.

And and and in my AU their kids went through one of these Water Tribe sailing tests that signify maturity. (Really hope Bumi did, Tenzin probably didn't).

Zuko and Katara would want their kids to know all non-bending martial arts so Zuko'd teach them swordsmanship and Katara'd ask Sukka for help and they'd be very normal about that.

Katara: Hey I thought you might want to teach A-

Suki and Sokka, together: Say no more.

(Author's note: in a modern AU Suki is already phoning Ty Lee).

Zutara's kids will be so powerful. Especially the hypothetical non-benders. Ty for the ask, have a nice day💕

Missing scene from The Southern Raiders – because Katara never had a black outfit so she was totally borrowing Zuko’s clothes for their field trip.

Sokka: Katara! Are you wearing Zuko’s clothes?!? Zuko: ?! Katara: Um… No? Not pictured, Toph: ♪ I can tell you’re lying! ♪

I wonder how much Zuko loved seeing Katara in his clothes. ;)

[strawberrymilkyumyum]

zuko tries to slow down his pace when walking with katara because she's shorter than him, she's not gonna be able to catch up to him with her short legs right????

wrong

she is smaller but she is so fast he genuinelly can't keep up with her and has to ask her to slow down bc she just zooms off like a rocket

Zutara Headcanon

Katara becomes a popular name in both the Fire Nation and Water Tribes for centuries in honor of the beloved Fire Lady who changed both nations for the better.

What is your favorite Zutara headcanon?

I hope you have an amazing day! ^.^

I'm so sorry this has been sitting in my inbox forever! I haven't had a chance to answer asks and I kind of forgot about it, so I'm going to give an extra long answer to make up for it lol. I have a few that are tied for first and second, so bear with me.

Firstly, I absolutely love the idea of Zuko helping out Katara with the chores after he joined the gaang. It just makes sense that he would try to help her out, and that he would feel guilty and try to do extra work. Of course, it takes Katara awhile to actually appreciate his help, but after TSR they actually manage to have fun together while they're doing dishes and laundry together, and she can't imagine it any other way.

This one is kind of cheesy, but I love the idea of them both being musically inclined, but in different ways. Zuko is obviously great at the tsungi horn, but he's an absolutely awful singer, and Katara can't play an instrument to save her life, but she has the voice of an angel. They like practicing songs with each other to let off steam, and even after the war whenever Katara finds herself in the Fire Nation or Zuko in the water tribe, they still get together to make a bit of music. They're also both wonderful dancers, Zuko from growing up learning dances in the FN court, and Katara because it's a big part of her culture, and she also just thinks it's fun. Zuko never really liked to dance, because it reminded him of being boxed in at court, but Katara shows him some different steps and he actually enjoys himself for once. In an AU where they end up together, their kids grow up combining the dances of both their cultures and creating new trends in both the FN and the SWT.

This one isn't really Zutara-centric, but Toph teases the HELL out of them. She literally goes around making the snarkiest comments and she will not stop until they are both blushing like tomatoes.

In an AU where they get together, they are the second in the gaang to get married, after Suki and Sokka but before Aang and Teo (I said what I said). Their wedding is obviously a huge event, and Sokka and Aang are the groomsmen while Toph and Suki are the bridesmaids, obviously. Katara is super into wedding planning and picking out her dress. Uncle Iroh helps her with the plans and buys fireworks and organizes the guest list and Zuko rebels against the both of them at every turn because he doesn't really want a huge, ostentatious wedding. He eventually realizes that this is way more important to Katara than it is to him, though, so he stops trying to get them to tone things down and only helps her with the planning when asked, to give her all the creative freedom her heart desires. In canon (where they don't get together) I like to think that Zuko would be Katara's 'man of honor' at her wedding with Aang. Partially because of pining and angst, but mostly because they want to be there for each other and see each other happy, even if they aren't going to be the ones spending their lives together.

Zuko would be the first one to realize his feelings for Katara, but he'd be in denial for so long that by the time Katara realizes her feelings back, they're at about the same place when it comes to their relationship. She's the first one to say "I love you" and even though it takes him a little time to say it back, it's only because he's scared to be so vulnerable with someone at first. She gives him time, and his love confession ends up being simultaneously the most awkward and the most romantic thing in the world. Zuko is the one to propose and Katara says yes without question.

They end up having two kids, twin girls named Kya and Ursa after their mothers. Kya, the nonbender, is set to inherit the throne, and Ursa, the waterbender, has a special gift for healing. Zuko only wanted one kid because he was afraid of messing them up, but he ends up being a wonderful father. Katara is a great mother as well, of course, and she loves to teach Ursa waterbending while Zuko helps her incorporate firebending moves into her fighting style. Kya feels a little left out of these family training sessions at first, but Zuko teaches her how to use the dao swords, her Aunt Mai teaches her how to throw knives, and her Aunt Ty Lee teaches her chi blocking, so she's just as deadly as the rest of her family.

Katara's first project after becoming firelady is to help spearhead pollution reform and create industrial regulations that help the FN become more environmentally friendly. She eventually travels back to the village in "the Painted Lady" with her daughters to show them the value of respecting nature.

This one also isn't very zutara-centric, but I don't think Katara and Azula would ever really reconcile. Although she becomes good friends with both Mai and Ty Lee (who are dating, obviously), she can never forgive Azula for some of the most traumatic events of her life. Zuko and Azula do eventually have a healthy relationship after Azula realizes the error of her ways, but she decides to move away from the palace of her own accord. There are too many bad memories there.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my headcanons! These are the only ones I can think of right now but I probably have more somewhere in my brain.

[zutarawasrobbed]

Guys..

The original script adds so much context for a lot of scenes, but this one?

Zuko didn’t just start sleeping next to Katara because he wanted to be close to her. He also wanted to be close enough to protect her from another ambush and bomb attack.

And Katara could sleep with a smile on her face because she knew Zuko would be there to protect her. Zuko gave her the opportunity to sleep without being alert 100% of the time for the first time in probably forever…

I’m not okay 😭

[gemgirl28]

Zuko "My wife said not to buy her flowers so instead I'm planting her a garden in the backyard" Sozin and Katara "My husband didn't want me to buy him anything so I'm cooking all his favorite foods for dinner" Kuruk are having a very lovely day together handing out Valentine's to their friends, family, and coworkers.

[teapotteakettle]

i love zuko in SWT blue as much as the next girl, but imagine, when he's finally starting to get over it, that first shocking contrast of him in his nation's colors against the blue of Her tundra. Imagine how much it would hurt, the confirmation that he could never blend seemlessly into her world

[korielle-writiting-fanfics]

i love fire lady katara and fully believe that if she were. that we’d see her in her traditional water tribe clothing custom fire nation clothes that are like blues and reds.

but i want to talk about how i fully believe we’re missing her having purple in her clothing palette

[bibi-itt]

Zutara modern AU idea: Katara is a HUGE fan of horror movies she loves psychological thrillers, known the underground films that no one watched, meanwhile Zuko love romcoms and musicals (as the theater kid he is)

now fic writers WORK

[enchantedreader]

Could you imagine if Zuko had been with the group when they ran into Hama???😳😳😳

That would have been interesting and there are so many possibilities including them being in a secret relationship and Katara has to bloodbend Hama to save Zuko’s life.

[pink-concorde]

I’ve always liked the headcanon that hair is really important in the Fire Nation, and that it’s very intimate to have another person touch one’s hair. I also headcanon that Katara is very tactile with people she is close to and thus braiding Zuko’s hair becomes a thing that she does. Does Fire Lord Zuko ever inform the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador about the Fire Nation’s customs about hair touching? No of course not, because then she might stop.

This inevitably leads to the day when Katara casually starts braiding Zuko’s hair in full view of his advisors resulting in shock and literal pearl clutching.
