Hi! She/her. Adult.
This is my sideblog where I dump posts that I think are too long or too embarrassing for main. Inconsistently tagged. Sometimes NSFW. Sometimes opinionated, or otherwise trying to work thru my thoughts as I write them.
Come say hi!
Randy adderson🤤 ouh I need him. I need him sooo bad.
you can always tell someone ships zukka by how they draw the gaang in gen art. cause like. lets be honest if they were going by actual canon dynamics thered be no reason for sokka to have his arm around zuko or anything.
i think misa is straight ☝️ unless light is a closeted trans woman, then misa is a closeted lesbian who's relieved to finally be interested in a "guy".
im sorry i just do not see the vision for mai/azula. mai hates her ass.
If the outsiders took place in modern times Soda would have been named after a Starbucks drink🤷
Ah yes. Pinkity Drinkity Curtis
Toxic fans when something that was never canon is confirmed to not be canon (they will harass the creators over this)
Would love to see you go off about Zukka mah guy 👀 (and then idk Zukaang 👀)
Oh, you want me to go off on tumblr, comrade? ON TUMBLR!?
Okay.
First, let me start by saying to my followers that I'm a very mellow kind of guy. If I dislike something you like or even love, there's nothing wrong with that. Live and let live, whatever floats your boat. So long as no one goes out of their way to be a dick to people, no one should be getting hate or harassment for what they enjoy. Just because I'm not in your lane doesn't mean I'm going to throw a molotov cocktail over to see if someone crashes. My parents raised me better than that. Plus, if I find posts I don't like, I block them. If I find people who annoy me, I block them. These are good pieces of advice, my friends.
That all being said, I'm not going to hold back when I decide to speak my mind, and zukka is fucking terrible. If it was a rarepair with only a small audience, I wouldn't care. It wouldn't rustle any of my jimmies, it wouldn't grind more than a single nerve if at all. But because it's so fucking popular I have to see that shit so frequently. I see talented fanartists use their talents on that ship and I frown cus that energy should be spent on better outlets.
Zuko and Sokka ain't got nothing to build a romance on from canon. The deepest their conversation goes is, "I love my girlfriend." "My girlfriend is awesome too." "Sucks that yours turned into the moon, my dude." Zukka is only as popular as it is because they're both almost 18 and they're conventionally attractive and masculine. The funny (and infuriating) thing on that last part is that a lot of zukka shippers want to feminize the ship by putting them in soft colors, softening their features, and/or putting them more in touch with their emotions and feminine side. This is bad because they will flat out ignore their canon personalities/aesthetics and also badmouth Aang, a man who is canonically in touch with his feelings and feminine side and is super confident in his softer side. This boy will wear a flower crown with a smile. Your fave will canonically never.
(I don't have time to get into why fandoms will feminize masculine men instead of thoughtfully engaging with men who are canonically in touch with their fem side, but the point is there. I will also say that a lot of zukka content is clearly not created by actual MLM. No disrespect to real MLM zukkas, but your club is full of straight girls and also your ship is terrible)
Zukka content, from what I've seen and heard of, is full of bad characterizations that ignore the show and flat out make shit up, and shippers will also make shit up to badmouth other characters. Zukka is so bad that it harms both of them and everyone around them. Just for an example on the two boys themselves:
.Zuko is not an uwu soft boi, this man used to terrorize villages on a weekly basis. If you ignore or try to minimize the parts of a redemption arc where the character was a fucking villain/antagonist, you are doing the character a disservice.
.Sokka is intelligent and it's great that he put in the work to unlearn sexism, but he's not Stephen Hawking and he was pretty sexist. He GREW over the course of the series, but stans and zukka shippers (which is a venn diagram with a huge middle) try to pretend that he was actually perfect from the very beginning. Also, if you honestly think that scenes of Sokka being the butt of a joke (which are 9/10 hilarious) are abusive on the writer or the other characters' part, do yourself a favor: never hang out with Irish people. Google may describe slagging each other as abusive, but it's really not. Slagging is a treasured past time of our people between family and friends.
If every cringey incorrect quotes post was a ship, it would be zukka. Zukka is overflowing with jaded klance shippers who took their bullshit from Voltron and fired it upon ATLA en masse like Persian archers at Thermopylae. Zukka is a notp. I will never write for it, I will never willingly seek out content of it, and if any pissbabies want to start shit over this 100% accurate argument, I will laugh at anything you send me.
As for zukaang, that ship do go deep. "If he's your love interest, why is he my narrative foil?" Protagonist/deuteragonist is top tier shipping, as is enemies to lovers. Their relationship, both on a micro scale as individual people and on a macro scale as the avatar and fire prince, is the cornerstone of the plots of some of the best episodes in the series, including The Storm, The Blue Spirit, The Avatar and the Fire Lord, and the Firebending Masters.
I sadly haven't read much of it, and I raise my eyebrow at just how much abo there is of such a relatively small ship, but I think zukaang is a great ship.
I hate that I spent so much time trashing a bad ship and so little praising a good one, but that's how it be sometimes.
sokka 🤝 katara
bi spouse energy
I love when ppl are advertising zuko x sokka and zuko x katara with how cool the ship is due to ~parallels~ when atla is literally Aang and Zuko: The Parallels show
my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
new chapter of orbital decay, my post-canon zukaang long fic, is finally up!
“Do you think we could stop for some food?” Aang asks when they disembark, eyeing a touristy noodle bar across the street.
“No,” Zuko says, pulling his robe tighter, “My bag had the money and that’s probably at the bottom of Full Moon Bay.”
“I’m sure someone would be willing to give The Avatar and the Fire Lord something for free!” Aang says with a grin, waggling his eyebrows. Sure enough, a couple people turn their heads.
“What?” Zuko balks, his face burning, “We don’t need a handout, Aang.”
why ship zukka when zukaang is right there
its really funny how kataang haters will call katara aangs mom (derogatory) as if zuko doesnt have the biggest mommy issues on the show
i think the funniest tweet i saw today was someone saying "why ship zutara when zukka is right there" and like you don't even have to ship zutara but uh. it was a real hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby moment to me. like yeah... why ship the two characters with a 3-season long enemies to friends arc.... when the two guys who barely interacted are right there...
zuko and aang have such a genuinely underrated dynamic. like theyre the rivals to friends/soulmates/narrative foils that everyone tries to make every other relationship on the show into and i feel crazy rattling the bars of my cage like "this could have been about zuko and aaaang"
