Zuko/Jet, if that’s obscure enough idk. I don’t ship them in any sort of like, healthy or romantic way, but I do think they should have had an extremely toxic/ill-advised boat fling.
okay well this one is very popular so if i speak my truth i may actually get put on a list. but no matter. jet is my least favorite minor character, and zuko is my least favorite main character (to be clear i still love him, he’s just not as compelling to me as the rest of them are) so nothing about their dynamic interests me personally. also i have a very hard time reading their interactions on the ferry as anything other than zuko not being able to stand this guy at all. like yes i do think zuko is gay, but not for him!!! the one thing zuko truly has to his name is taste. yeah he liked stealing food, but it wasn’t because he gave a shit about who he was stealing food with, he was just hungry. and then he found jet’s later persistence that they be friends grating. whatever jet was seeing in zuko was entirely a one-sided projection, both during his positive and negative images of him as a person. wherein lies the tragic irony, because considering the information jet is privy to, the conclusions he jumps to are insane, but also, he’s even more right than he knows (considering iroh, yknow, literally burned down his village and killed his parents). but zuko is literally just sitting there and he doesn’t really give a fuck about this guy at all. also it simply would not make sense for zuko’s arc if he was like. actually doing gay shit in book 2. i know it would be really funny if katara and zuko both hooked up with the same guy, but i don’t really think that’s the case. sorry guys
