You Can Ship Whoever You Want To Ship But Deliberately Ignoring That The Fire Nation DID Oppress The

You can ship whoever you want to ship but deliberately ignoring that the Fire Nation DID oppress the SWT just to push your own agenda (and all in the name of some Wattpad-esque palace fantasy romance drama of your ship) is so tone deaf.

Did we not watch the same show?? Did the FN not wipe out almost all of the SWT benders?? Did Katara NOT see a Fire Nation soldier burst into their home and kill take her mother??

Anyway. GET 'EM, f1reladymai!!

I think it needs to be reiterated: The Water Tribes weren’t colonized. Katara does not have “colonial trauma”, as one post suggests. The Water Tribes were never claimed by anyone else and were left completely alone besides The Fire Nation enacting genocide. If we are going to discuss “zutara colonization discourse”, then please do it right. Especially if y’all are gonna write long essays about it, given that all that time writing would end being partially for nothing since the thing you’re focusing on isn’t relevant to what anyone is saying.

One thing I love about Zuko and Mai as a couple is how snuggly they are with each other!

Like look at them!!!!!!!

They’re all over each other constantly, and it’s so adorable!!!!!!

Even in the beach episode when Zuko is being snappish with Mai and there’s a strain on the relationship…

…they’re still cuddling the whole time!!!!!

And with the family situations they grew up with they’re probably both super touch starved…

…so they seek out physical affection with each other because they don’t get it anywhere else!!!!

It’s so wonderful seeing how much they care for one another in their body language, especially since neither of them are good with words!!!!

I just. Hghgghh

They love each other, your honor

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon
