✨️WIP✨️I watched Avartar for the first time in my life about a month ago and I can't stop thinking about it and Zutara since then! 💔

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

"People like Zutara cause it's dark and intriguing," and then the popular Zutara fanon tropes are like;

- Zuko helps Katara with the camp chores without being asked

let's pretend for a second that all zutara shippers really do relate to katara and would want a partner like zuko and think he's attractive

is that really that bad? doesn't that prove the point that she would like him? if this many people relate to katara and like zuko, how is it unthinkable that they'd like each other?

My boredom that can't be satiated asked someone what kind of scene should I draw with ScaraLumi and they said I should draw them kissing. And that is the story of how these arts were born.

“Happy anniversary darling.”

This is probably around when they step down from the throne, passing it on to their daughter Kya. It happens slightly earlier in the Pandaverse timeline than in the LoK timeline, because they decide to move south so Katara can take over as Korra’s waterbending master fulltime.

Zutara Week 2021 Day 7: Stories

In my mind there is a very clear connection between the prompt “stories” and my attempt at rewriting part of the AtLA ending, however I’m having a terrible time verbalizing it (sort of “stories belong to their readers” ala John Green vibes?). Instead you get this snippet from a meta I wrote months ago (which I guess I’ll need to post now to have this make sense):

So if someone asks me if a romantic Zutara relationship is “canon” within the context of AtLA, then no it isn’t. But for me, that’s literally the only place where Zuko and Katara aren’t deeply in love and living their best lives together. AtLA is a work of fiction, and fictional characters are just as fictional when a fan thinks about them as when the character’s creator thinks about them. A story is only as real as you make it. And for me? Zutara is real.

Sorry, no kiss, but as I’ve said a few scattered times - my preferred show ending would have had no canon romances except Sukka (although I certainly wouldn’t have been upset if there had been a Zutara ending…).
