There Will Eventually Come A Day In The Doctor Who Fandom Where I Will Not Hear How Rose Is The Secret

There will eventually come a day in the Doctor Who fandom where i will not hear how Rose is the secret motivation behind every decision of the Doctor's post 2006

But it's been 15+ years so I'm not hopeful

Just Married *lol*

@zutaramonth day 1: Reluctant allies.

Or, at some point Zuko gets fed up with Katara's animosity at the start of TSR.

it is a little funny, a little ironic, because as much as the Ember Island Players episode wants to be like "see?? you're silly for thinking zuko and katara's dynamic is romantic" it doesn't quite think through the in-world implications of the play because, conceivably, this play is built largely upon rumor, right? biased or purposefully distorted first, second, or third-hand accounts of the gaang and their journey? (and then of course, whatever artistic liberties the play writers want to take)

Because that all begs the question - why do the play writers think zuko and katara are together?? Like literally lmao was it just for the Drama of it all? Or do enough people in the avatar universe perceive Zuko and Katara to be a couple for it to be a far spread rumor?? Is June gossiping in taverns like "oh the fire nation prince? yeah he hired me to find his girlfriend. he had her betrothal necklace and everything"??

And how did the play writers (or anyone for that matter) even know that Zuko and Katara had shared a Moment with one another in the crystal caverns? Were there like, Dai Li Agents spying on them from afar? Watching katara huff and stalk around and yell at zuko then like five seconds later they see her cradling Zuko's face and they're just like "bro" "bro" "no way" "there's no war in ba sing se but we've got to tell people about that."

Then isn't it also implied this play is fairly popular in the fire nation? Like how many years after the war is the average fire nation citizen convinced that Zuko and Katara are an item?

I can never decide how they get together because its either,, I am in tears,, the beauty of this connection.

Or the stupidest possible way anyone has ever started dating.
