I am so here for all the Zuko/Katara acceptance. The one OTP I would've fought and died for, yet I was denied. The whole story would've been so much greater if their storyline was different.... RIP to an otherwise good show missing a fantastic OTP. Loving all the Avatar content, they've been great reads. That's all, and have a good evening! 🤗
Right??? The cinematic parallels.......the metaphor of the uniting/healing of the nations.........the new Fire Lord being in love with the last Southern waterbender??? Imagine the citizens of the Fire Nation seeing their new ruler with a waterbender by his side during speeches and in meetings. And Katara should have been a diplomat or an ambassador--so much of the show is her being the glue that holds the group together, rallying people to their cause, inspiring hope, fighting for the little guy--she's not just a healer like they try to make her out to be in the comics or TLOK! They just make her the Avatar's trophy wife and take away so much of her agency. It's infuriating.
If you're into fanfiction, I've recently been reading 2 phenomenal Zutara fanfics that have both updated recently; here's the links!!
