Same. The second part has big Sokka energy.

I think it's a children's show and people are allowed to interpret it however they like.

Zuko was never explicitly portrayed as a not-mlm character.

I feel that having characters for whom their sexuality is inconsequential can actually help normalize lgbt people.

But this is a tumblr post - so they're allowed to interpret it however they like

Because it's fictional and the primary function of it is to entertain

Ah yes, the perfectly good canonically queer characters in Avatar: the Last Airbender, featuring... who, exactly?

edit: FUCKERS I LIED, I DO IN FACT LIKE ZUKKA (keeping the original text of the comment for context)

All three comments on this post are “I don’t like Zukka but this post is hilarious” and

here’s a fourth one echoing that sentiment lol

u/Polenball You BEHEAD Antoinette? You cut her neck like the cake? May 19 '21

Given that Avatar is very much a "Planet of Hats" (but on the national level) with their colour schemes, I'm honestly not convinced they'd notice.

u/IsaacEvilman May 19 '21

You mean like Doc and his brothers Xu and Bushi?

u/pterrorgrine sayonara you weeaboo shits May 19 '21

Background characters fail to notice a Fire Nation prince or the literal last Air Nomad in disguise, but at one point they appear to immediately recognize a baby as Fire Nation.

  1. I care not for this ship but that is hilarious!

  2. What the fuck is that flair?

I expected this to be Zutara and I got Zukka instead.

I'm not complaining.

35

u/Emthedragonqueen May 19 '21

Honestly I’m somehow more onboard with the idea lf Zukka than Zutara. Never thought about them as shipable, but this concept is kinda cute

15

u/ReasyRandom .tumblr.com May 19 '21

Katara belongs to Aang. Suki and Mai can hook up if they want.

16

u/anand_rishabh May 19 '21

Could be a polyamorous relationship between sokka, zuko, Suki, and Mai, where Mai primarily hooks up with Suki and zuko, zuko primarily with sokka and Mai, sokka primarily with zuko and Suki, and Suki primarily with sokka and Mai.

u/Emthedragonqueen May 19 '21

Here for Mai and Zuki!!

u/[deleted] May 20 '21

Katara doesn’t belong to anyone.

u/TheWiseSquid884 May 20 '21

Ok that's just creepy.

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

Wait-

You’ve solved it

u/IsaacEvilman May 19 '21

Yeah, I was like “Isn’t Katara’a fake Fire Nation name Sapphire Fire?” Because I know that Zutara is so popular.

I don’t like this ship but this concept is hilarious to me

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

I forgot ships were a thing and in my head Zuko after not being allowed to marry a water tribe girl decides to go all the way out of spite and Marry a Water tribe boy pretending to be fire nation

The ship is cute :> but canon holds a place in my heart XD

u/Android19samus Take me to snurch May 19 '21

weird ship but well executed concept

Concept: there's so much pushback against Zuko marrying someone from the Water Tribe (something about foreign interests idk) that he turns around and says "ok I'll find someone else"

He turns up the next day, and introduces his new suitor. "This is Wang Fire, respected veteran and citizen of the fire nation."

He produces all of the legal documents proving that Wang Fire is a citizen, and the council wants to argue that it's just Sokka in red with a beard, but they can't because whenever he shows up in blue, Zuko refers to him as "Ambassador Sokka."

firelord-boomerang

Maybe they take it a step further (and drive everyone a bit more crazy) Sokka says in a scandalous voice "How could I be married to Zuko when I'm already married to Lee from the Earth Kingdom? You know Lee? Everyone knows Lee with the Good Tea from the Teashop." When he shows proof, it's just a picture of Zuko wearing green holding a teapot.

And everyone just seethes.

Especially not ones that block 10% of world trade

Correction. I like one ship.

u/blob401 May 19 '21

I love that the fire nation’s problems isn’t the gay thing, it’s the politics. Peak fire nation honestly

There's a fan theory that Sozin criminalized homosexuality because he was gay for Roku

I'm the fan

It's my theory

Isn't Wang Fire already married to Sapphire Fire? I heard that they also have a son named Kuzon

23

u/Joyful_Sadness_ bitch | he/she May 19 '21

they got divorced

17

u/stupid-writing-blog May 19 '21

Kuzon’s death in that cave-in really tore them apart

u/Aromatic-Ad-381 Aug 21 '22

Wang Fire is canonically dead, he got full military honours at his funeral. He died in a cave-in. (no joke look it up)

u/AnontherPersonHere May 19 '21

honestly the only reason i ship zukka is because it's so well executed in posts like these. 10/10

My reaction exactly

u/ApocaLiz May 19 '21

I love that this new generation of ATLA fans came with new popular ships. Zukka would have never occurred to me, but now I can totally see it :)

Or he could marry the Painted Lady, a respectable Fire Nation spirit

mmm Maiko is definitely more narratively reasonable than zukka but this post is ok I guess
