The lack of self-awareness game in Zutara shippers is crazy as shit,Katara and Zuko were obsessed with Aang the whole show while thinking the other was the biggest loser in existense and Katara said 1613948 times she hates having to act like a mom and wants to be a real kid and rizzed up Aang like almost every episode starting from The Boy In The Iceberg and Zuko's redemption arc only worked because he was actually willing to unpack his baggage and improve as a person and rid himself of his bigoted ways and selfish treatment of others because he didn't deserve to be babied after all he did to the Gaang and it's hammered into our heads in-text and so's that Aang and him are platonic cosmic soulmates by choice against the universe trying to keep them apart and Katara is Litte Miss Punk Tactics(reclaiming femininity against traditionalism and cisheteronormatovity and fucking eco-terrorism at 14 as her lifestyles??????Damn okay slay babygirl)and YET,

Okay i can't even list off everything Zutaras gentrify in the fandom because the list is longer than Iroh's beard but i will say that Katara ending up with Zuko is about as dark richer storytelling than Kataang + Dadko as telling Bob The Builder 'No we can't',about as feminist as Rick Riordan and about as positive rep for woc as The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Zuko: *after Sokka officially asks to court him* Wait… you like me?

Sokka: *has been dropping progressively more and more obvious hints for months* What do you mean ‘you like me?’- Of course I like you!

Zuko: *needs everything spelled out directly in his face before he understands anything* How was I supposed to know?!

-Later-

Sokka: *Still seething* Zuko, we’ve kissed. You’ve had my tongue in your mouth-

Zuko: *crossing his arms* I thought it was as friends!

Sokka: *incoherent screaming*

Oh look, Zuko gets a three day holiday

Round 2: Gregory House vs Prince Zuko

Propaganda is encouraged, and may I remind you of the arc where House starts fights with his friends about a blood stained carpet being replaced?

Zuko is "Briefly glances at you but mostly avoids eye contact" autism.

Azula is "Intense stare into your soul without blinking" autism.

I love Zukka food conversations?

Zuko HAS known hunger but he’s also had all the food he’s ever needed served to him on a silver platter for the majority of his life

Sokka was responsible for feeding his entire village from way too young an age

Zuko has dealt with ARFID/autism-related texture issues his whole life and feels extremely guilty because of his “privilege to be picky” (he’s rarely been fully healthy regardless)

Sokka teaching Zuko to fish and hunt because it’s super important to Zuko not to be helpless while on his own again

Sokka expressing his own guilt to Zuko of the winters when there wasn’t enough food for everyone to go around. How he felt responsible. How he gave almost all his food to Katara so she wouldn’t have to know what real hunger was

Both of them getting a bit of chub as adults because they are finally in a position where they CAN

Couldn’t stop thinking about @kibutsulove post about autistic Ozai and Ursa so I made this headcanon. Someone please, please, please, please tell me if this is bad.

Headcanon - The entire family hates touch. They tolerate shaking hands with people and friendly hugs but it makes their skin crawl and they’ll switch out during galas and stuff to give one family member a break. Aang only learns about Zuko and Azula’s aversion to touch two months after the war ends. He’s always so upset and constantly apologizes because he feels like he violated their boundaries.

Sokka is an "updog/ what's updog?/not much what's up with you?" ADHD bisexual and Zuko is a "you mean to tell me a chicken fried this rice" autistic gay

Zuko: When I first got my autism diagnosis, my first thought was “woah… it’s canon” and I think that maybe thoughts like that is why Katara made me get tested.

Zuko simps are so pressed over him loving Mai and Katara loving Aang and have been making it everyone else's problem nonstop for over a decade now,all for the sake of a guy who would never date a white girl

alt modern day zuko is the only modern zuko i‘ll accept !!

Love it when people act like Zuko was always a 'fuck the rules' bad boy.Guys,he spent over half the show trying to please his dad and his attitude problems came from a mix of trauma responses and being spoiled-Zuko wasn't a 'rebel' until his redemption arc,he was just a jackass

Zukka where it’s Sokka with that audhd rizz, Zuko with that autism rizz (aka it’s all- “wanna see my collection of rocks shaped like boomerangs???” and “yeah, ok.” ((they basically just confessed their undying love))

zuko 🤝 hunter

autistic-coded reformed villains with scars and daddy issues
