sometimes i think about how zuko begging the universe to strike him with lightning when he was trying to learn how to redirect it. even though he hadn’t successfully done it before and he had been struggling with it in the episode. and he knew that if the lightning struck him and he couldn’t redirect it that he would die because he would be essentially be struck by lightning. zuko was pretty much on his knees begging the universe to end his life.
what a beautiful day to think of dante basco’s headcanon that zuko fell in love with katara but buried it for the sake of duty and mae whitman’s headcanon that katara fell in love with zuko but only realized it when it was too late
So not only are Jack De Sena and Dante Basco actively aware of Zukka, but they're cool and casual with the idea, too?? I got an autograph signed by Dante and I had asked him who he thought Zuko ended up (he said he had a whole "fanfic scenario" and that he would end up with Jin btw) but he wanted to know what *I* thought and I told him I liked the idea of Zuko and Sokka together and he said he had heard of it and he thought it was cool and that they'd work well together. Later that day at a panel with a bunch of the ATLA voice actors, someone asked what was something that came out of the ATLA resurgence of 2020 and Jack said before he had never known anyone who had shipped Zukka --- using the words "ship" and "Zukka" and Dante smiled while the rest of the cast seemed super casual and familiar with it while everyone in the audience cheered. I'm???
