Please enjoy a Zutara + Steambabies headcanon that is once again inspired by irl shenanigans:
So Katara has helped birth babies before, right? So she probably knows lots of Water Tribe lullabies. But I headcanon that it's several years between the end of the war and her having kids, and in that time she was doing political stuff/helping maintain peace, so when she actually has her own kids she's a little fuzzy on the words. Sokka gives her a hard time for this, but Hakoda just quietly sings the lullabies whenever he visits.
Katara also has a habit of just making up songs, about the baby or whatever she's doing or both, and it's not until she's been singing them for a week that someone will point out they are to the tune of some common songs like Happy Birthday.
Meanwhile Zuko is super self conscious about his singing voice but the babies love falling asleep on his chest, so he just narrates his day, literally what he's ate, what meetings he has, what policies he's working on. It's why no one is surprised when all the steambabies are saying words like "taxation" and "diplomatic relations" before they turn two.
Links to favorite fics you’ve read for Zutara?
i've been sick all weekend so apologies for the late response & lack of ratings, descriptions, et cetera.. i fear this is the best i can do rn. these are random fics from my bookmarks that i like for one reason or another, in no particular order. there are many, many, many that i am missing. i recommend checking out these writers' tumblrs/ao3 profiles for other works too <3

Wrangling Update - Avatar: The Last Airbender
Hello ATLA fans! With the recent changes to Fandom Metatags, a new change is coming to the way the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise fandom on AO3 is structured! Don’t worry, the existing fandom tags will remain as they are - this change will not impact your ability to search for works in specific fandoms (i.e. Legend of Korra, The Chronicles of the Avatar novels, etc.).
What is changing is that we are creating a new metatag for the fandom!
What is a metatag, you ask? Great question - think of metatags (and subtags) like file folders on your computer or in your Google Drive. In this analogy, the metatag is the top-level folder and the subtags are sub-folders that live inside that top-level folder.
New ATLA metatag: Avatar: The Last Airbender & Related Fandoms
All current and future ATLA-related fandoms will be sub-fandoms ("subtags") of the new Avatar: The Last Airbender & Related Fandoms fandom metatag. Currently, this includes:
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
Avatar: Legend of Korra
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Chronicles of the Avatar Novels - Various
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Live Action TV 2024)
Avatar Legends (Roleplaying Game)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Video Games 2006 2007)
Avatar: Realms Collide (Video Game)
There is no 2010 movie in Ba Sing Se The Last Airbender (2010)
As new ATLA franchise canon is released, those will be added as subfandoms as well. For more information on the hows and whys, keep reading below the cut!
Ok one more spoiler free @the-descension-inks this was actually me after the last chapter came out.
In honor of this fic updating today, bringing back this meme that has basically been me every time @the-descension-inks updates.
An update in honor of this fic being completed 🥹🥹🥹
I can't describe the joy this story has brought me over the years. From screaming about theories with friends to rereading for fun, this has been a ride from start to finish and I can't believe it's done.
Thank you @the-descension-inks for all the laughs 💜💜💜

Top 5 sweet treats?? 😉
I should have been more ready when I asked you 😅
1. S'mores
2. I do love a good cheese danish
3. Ok I know I already said s'mores but at work they do a s'mores tart that's so good I put it on almost every menu I plan.
4. Cannolis
5. Chocolate chip meringue cookies
Completely unrelated to anything, but I just thought about how long we've been mutuals and how much both our lives have changed since, and it's so lovely!
Not me getting very emotional over this 😭 but hey I can blame the pregnancy hormones, right? 😅
Our lives have changed, and it warms my heart to know in many ways, it's been for the better. But also, the constant of being mutuals is so lovely too 💜
As iconic as Katara's fight with Pakku is (AND IT IS), I always thought that a more pointed feminist angle to take would have been for Katara to discover that the women of the Nothern Water Tribe had been teaching themselves how to fight with their waterbending all along, out of sight of Pakku. There's a lot you could play with there, a lot that could even push back against Katara's character and worldview, and frankly the fact that the only female mentor Katara ever gets is Hama - the only female mentor really in the whole show - will always piss me off.
idk I just think at the very least Katara should have discovered the girls were learning healing by day and doing underground waterbending fight club by night, trying to teach themselves on their own. And then they ALL should have kicked Pakku’s ass and been incredibly integral in the fight against the Fire Nation
I think this would have fixed something that has bothered me (and others) as well: the fact that the only reason Pakku decided to train Katara is learning she was related to Kanna.
Had the rest of the women stepped forward, admitted they learned fighting, and helped kick his butt, he would have seen that all the women in the Tribe were more than capable of learning, not just Katara.

Okay so hubby did get me into Dreamlight Valley for a minute there and while I wouldn't say it's the best lore, obviously there's so much to choose from with Disney.

I do love that tumblr is still playing games for April Fools.
Anyways I'd have to say a Jump Start game, because I wasn't allowed to play video games that weren't educational until the Wii came out.
i think love is stored in nighttime conversations and “did you eat yet” and books left outside your door and “i waited to watch this with you” and splitting something in half to share and “im proud of you” and folded towels and “you can pick” and heads on shoulders and “you’re right, that was shitty. im sorry” and knocks on doors and “DINNER!” and stupid jokes and “hey i got this for you” and coffee made just right and… there are so many ways people say i love you silently every day over and over again if you only listen
