Sigh

[gorey-gorella]

There's people on Twitter wishing Zuko be mass murdering his own people because they are cheering on his death in the Ember Island Play. Honestly, feels like everyone forgot Zuko commited TREASON and BETRAYED the country, humiliated the Firelord and Fire Princess and got two high status baddies to betray it as well. Like, I would be expecting pro FN genocide from Aang stans, not Zuko stans of all people. This is very... must I say... interesting? I'm not sure how to feel about it besides 'wtf' and 'wow you are so stupid'. Just letting you know, the fandom is as braindead as ever.

Zutara aka Katara-Zuko community on Livejournal

I used to be a mod on here when the show was airing (as @rashaka).

I read recently that Livejournal may be soon taken down entirely as a platform. It hasn't been itself in 15 years but I will be sad to lose all of the fandom content that existed there through the 2000s. Zutara fandom was a huge part of my fandom experience and I have a soft place in my heart for it.

If anyone wants a time capsule, look at this ship community and go back to the dates when the show was airing. See what people thought about the ships, the showrunners, the fandom.

Some highlights

Episode discussion: Cossroads of Destiny

Episode discussion: The Southern Raiders

Episode discussion: Ember Island Players

Episode discussion: Sozin's Comet

rec: large rec lists

On a related note, you may enjoy the ATLA tag for the ship-manfiesto community, which has two Zutara manifestos and some for the other major pairings as well.

For reference, here's the tags on the katar_zuko community:

⚠️: Do not download anything from the ads on this site. Livejournal has been compromised as a platform owned by the Russian government for years now.

In that regard, some posts are likely gone/lost/deleted. Many of the links to videos or art no longer work. This is not a full snapshot of the community, but it can give insight into how ephemeral fanworks are when they live primarily in social media platforms. The internet is not forever after all.

I'm such a cutie patootie because when I harass people on the internet I put in lots of cute emojis 😻❤️😘😘😘

Anyway, out of context, this makes it look like Azula pushed her grandpa down the stairs. It doesn't convey what this person thinks it does.

Whenever you are involved in a discussion/argument on Ursa and the other person says anything even remotely similar to

Ursa was able to see something odd with Azula

to justify Ursa's neglect towards Azula, you can just remove yourself from there.

Because clearly they either do not have the mental capacity or the desire to understand beyond blaming a nine year old.

so azula is evil for trying to kill zuko when her monarch dad ordered her to. but when ozai actually burned zuko, iroh didn't interfere cause that would've been treason? makes total sense🙄

[newhyperfixationhereicome]

Screw it, Let's have a Zuko mischaracterization tournament!

What is the worst Zuko take by ATLA fandom?

Zuko didn't need a redemption arc because he was always good™

Zuko is an evil bastard and his redemption arc doesn't matter

Zuko killed Katara's mother

Zuko is a bad firebender

Zuko deserved to be abused by Ozai because he was weak

Zuko is a danmei twink delicate little princess

Zuko is a bad boy alpha CEO vampire mafia boss dark romance male lead

Zuko doesn't want the throne and should abdicate to leave the FN

Zuko pees his pants out of fear anytime he's around Azula

Zuko would have Azula executed and dance on her grave

Zuko secretly hates/is hated by Aang/Katara/Mai

im so fucking happy that zutaranti is finally getting what she deserves after months of rabid behavior. i hope her ass gets suspended from twitter too. she laments to her little friends about how boring zutaras are on tumblr because they rightfully put her in her place and didn’t enable her bitchass behavior. “twitter is the grownup app” my ass. girl you’re 15 y.o maximum with how much of a edgelord you’re trying to be.

she shits her pants and throws her most ultimate buzzword “you’re racist!!!😡🤬” when someone calls aang bald, which he is, but then does a complete 180 and makes jokes about fucking KKK just because she likes to feel superior about a FICTIONAL SHIP. i’ve had her blocked on twt for a while because i was tired of seeing of her obnoxious tweets all the time but this shit is genuinely disgusting and even her fellow friends, who’d coddled her to hell and encouraged her to act entitled and to harass other people, are now disgusted by her. now she gives a half assed ukulele style “apology” AND tries to shift the blame to other people. i think her friend told her to use the tags zuKKKo and some shit just to “make the zutaras mad” and he’s equally as racist and vile. but now she’s moving as she’s the victim who’s getting bullied for no reason and was forced to make a joke about the real pain of real black people. she’s narcissistic and obsessive and a garbage overall.

“b-but i didn’t know!!! 😭” stfu then don’t joke about serious matters if you’re not sure what they mean. i’m not that much “familiar with american politics” as she put either, but even i know what the fuck is KKK. no one buys her fake ass “apologies” and absolutely nobody believes her self-made pity party anyways lmfao she should just delete her account already and go outside for the first time after all the stalking and harassing she’s done for a long time. it’s for the better.
