Helloimamistake - O(〃＾▽＾〃)o

so many zukkas like to pretend that their ship “ended the atla ship war” when it doesn’t oppose kataang and acts as its ship mate. i remember kataang was a lot less popular on tumblr a couple years ago but then it suddenly blew up in popularity when zukka became popular too. its why so many kataang shippers screech about zutara being “colonialist” and “racist” all day long but give zukka a pass despite zukka being as popular, if not more so, than zutara on tumblr. you would expect zukka to get more call outs but it doesn’t. 

its fine to dislike zukka or zutara for those “problematic” elements but don’t be a hypocrite about it where its somehow only bad if it happens in one ship but not the other. you all make it so obvious that this shit was never about social justice, it was always about stupid ship wars.

I wanted to share Zuko's monologue from a Zutara fic I'm writing. The fic won't be posted on this blog, but will be posted on my writing blog @nightinggail-writes. This is a post Legend of Korra fic, which is ironic because I still haven't finished the damn show, and it's heavy on the angst. Anyway, enjoy my long ass, sad monologue

"The world would not have been ready for us, Katara. There would never have been a marriage like ours, a love like ours, in our youth. The ridicule we would have faced, the ridicule any of our potential children would have faced their entire childhoods—I would not have been able to bear it. I wouldn’t have been able to bear how miserable you would have been, had you chosen me; and don't you dare say you could have handled it—I know you could have. I could not have handled it—how could I just stand by and watch the woman I love be treated that way? No matter what I would say, they would still whisper, they would have whispered about you when I was not around. Nothing I could have done would have stopped it. No amount of love I could offer you would be enough to prevent your misery in the only life I could offer. If I were not who I am, if my uncle had taken my place on the throne instead, maybe I would have told you how I felt—how I still feel, after all these years, these 80, long years—the world may have been ready by the time I took my place on the throne with you by my side. But that is not how events unfolded for us. There were many times where I had almost told you, but I never gathered the courage to do it; and then you got married, and I had lost my chance forever, because how could I break up the marriage of two of my closest friends? So I settled, and told myself I would never tell you how I felt. But now I am 96 years old, and I am dying, and I couldn't go through with my promise to myself. So here I am, telling you that I love you."

zukka does not solve the zutara and kataang debate since it removes katara—the main person of interest, the actual key component—from the conversation at hand I fear… zukka is not the remedy to zk v. ka since the only thing it’s doing is removing the focus from the topic of katara’s poor treatment as a female character in the narrative by the writers to simply prioritizing her brother I fear… i see this take so much and as a katara stan first and foremost-

All the OM characters are lowkey sluts so have a tier list. It's based on vibes and who I think is a bottom, switch, and a top

I only made this because I want to fuck them.
