I let the scale tip and feel all of it
It’s uncomfortable but right
We were born to try
To see each other through
To know and love ourselves and others well
Is the most difficult and meaningful
Work we’ll ever do
I think I’m gonna become a Zuko/Aang shipper out of spite. I don’t do slash because there’s no girls in it, and I think Aang and Zuko’s are probably platonic; but the Zukka ship is grating, I can’t really explain why, and I’m starting to suspect it’s because it’s the “white dick” equivalent to Avatar; it’s the closest to 2 white men in Avatar so they ship them even though they only interact as friends for like 2 episodes their relationship is predominantly platonic and half the drama is both character’s relationship with their female love interest.
You children conjured a ship out of thin air because you think Aang is a child (I hope, I fear it might be because they too young and stupid to understand him).
Aang and Zuko are the obvious slash ship! Zuko spent most the show obsessing over Aang! They have the most intense emotional moments in the show, not to mention the biggest number of them! The resolution of the show happens because their friendship! Why aren’t you shipping this??!! Their love saved the world!!!
Once upon a time, there were two feuding families. Both were powerful and magically bound to dragons; their rivalry centuries old and deep-rooted. Whereas one could speak to dragons, the other was gifted with extraordinarily long lives.
As the fates would have it, two members of the warring families fell in love with each other—a girl cut from marble, and a boy as wise as the vines.
They knew each other since childhood; yet had looked at each other with spite. One day, however, in a fit of frustration, the girl fled to the woods. There, she stumbled upon the boy and his dragon. His calm soothed the girl and they quickly laid down their quarrel and formed a strong bond.
Scared of their families, they kept their love hidden. And so, they contented themselves with secret meetings and swift touches whenever they could. Both, however, lived on opposite ends of the world, so they were forced to part ways, eventually. But their love was strong and they found a way to be together.
As there was no way to travel far distances, fast and much less unnoticed, the two lovers took to spell-crafting. Countless moons passed but they soon managed to charm an object they held dear to take them to a chosen location merely by touch.
The objects they enchanted took them to a hideaway which the boy had found somewhere in the Chinese mountains. And to ensure their safety, they guarded it with elaborate magic. Anyone who dared follow them would either prove worthy or be lost forever.
And so, every night, the couple escaped to the misty mountains to see each other.
Alas, the young couple’s joy didn’t last long, as their love entailed much more consequences. A long brooding conflict within the first family threatened to escalate as she and other members of her family opened their eyes to the wickedness of their traditions. The boy, however, had sworn loyalty to the girl and so the couple fought side by side to defeat her relatives.
Seven days, flames heated the earth. Seven days, the clashing of metal hummed through the air. Until, on the last day, her uncle’s sword pierced through the boy’s dragon’s scales.
Thinking her beloved was dead, the girl gave in to her rage. She killed her uncle and declared the war to be over. But despite their victory and the change it brought about, the couple never returned from the scorched battlefield—their souls forever lost to the roaring flames.
No wizard has since found the location of the hideaway nor the key to enter it. Yet some say, if you hone in closely while using a Portkey, you can still feel the invisible thread attaching the two—the desperate pull to be together.
