Zuko Is An Awkward Turtleduck - Tumblr Posts
It makes sense that Zuko didn't know anyone's name when it came to the Gaang because NOBODY fully introduced themselves to him until Book 3
Y'know what I've realized I'd like to see more often? Zuko befriending the Gaang while still dealing with the fact that his instinctive response to insecurity or fear is to get defensively angry and snappy. Less of Zuko being a quiet mouse who flinches away from any hint of aggression from the others, and more of Zuko who does his best to reign in his temper and then flinches away from his own defensively snappy remarks or the instinct to firebend out his frustrations. More of Zuko who has let go of the bulk of his anger and is doing his best to lean in to his mother's and his uncle's lessons on compassion and empathy, but who is also still in the process of unlearning his years of reliance on anger as his go-to method of covering up any insecurity or "weak" spot around other people.

Made this forever ago and found it!
It's based on that pidgin girl meme!
What if (ATLAB)
I love Zuko (who doesn't really ?) and I find him hilarious, even at the beginning.
He's such a dumbass.
So much that it would have been funny to see s1 Zuko being a reluctant and unplanned firebender teacher to Aang.
Aang would try to firebend during one fight against him and Zuko would be like 'what ? What's that? You call that firebending ? With that form ? What a weak punch, I will show you firebending !' and proceed to make a perfect demonstration of the move, with easy to understand explanations, while beating the shit out of Aang for his sloppy punch.
Aang would be so confused (but happy too) to have free lessons from his ennemy.
Katara would be murderous and ready to fight but she would keep her mouth shut because at least Aang was learning.
Sooka would be chill about it, especially with the old man tea. He's good company while Aang gets his ass handed to him by an angry and shouty teen. Iroh cryptic comments were sometimes useful too.
Iroh would be on his 'let's socialise my feral nephew' plan. To his surprise, it was kind of working.
And Zuko would end up too invested in the Avatar progress without realising it. He would have mock fights, lessons plans and progression notes ready for the next time he found the Avatar. He would shout about his abysmal form during fights without thinking and not make the combat too difficult from the start to see the progress.
He would be a perfect teacher if he wasn't trying to catch the Avatar.
And then his sister would appear and everything would go to shit.
