One Of The Things That Bothers Me About People Saying That Zutara Shippers Are Delusional Is That, After

One of the things that bothers me about people saying that Zutara shippers are delusional is that, after Katara forgives Zuko, there are quite a few scenes of Sokka and Suki, followed by more or less similarly framed scenes of Zuko and Katara.

(For what it's worth, there was actually much more focus on Zuko and Katara's hands than Sokka and Suki's, make of that what you will)

How is it not romantic subtext if there are not-so-subtle visual parallels with a canon romantic pairing?

the tenth doctor's to-do list

OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING.

If you watch the end of The Poison Sky, Martha says “besides someone needs me” the look Donna gives the Doctor is the sweetest thing. It’s like she’s saying I’ve got someone who needs me too. And it made me cry 😭

no bc where in between the tension did people get “katara is the little sister zuko never had” from?

Katara being the first person outside of himself to touch Zukos scar is extremely special. Kataras touch was so gentle, it helped ground Zuko, and allowed him to realize that it's not something he should be ashamed of. Earlier in the season, Zuko is seen touching his own scar in a moment of his own identity crisis, whereas Katara touched him scar in a moment of his own self-reflection.

I will not be silenced.
