My biggest dissapointment in the (sane) zutara fandom will forever be that they collectively chose taang as their alt Aang ship instead of sokkaang. Smh

Sokkaang and Zutara are such fun pairs to put together. Zutara constantly having to keep Sokkaang's collective idiocy in check and Sokkaang on constant 'keep Zutara from getting themselves arrested' duty jsndnsnd like come on, the potential, it's so good.

And then Toph gets to be an aroace queen who's just there to have a good time and mercilessly mock her friends for suffering alloism.

Plz, I beg of you

[violetiessss]

you get it! sokkaang is the perfect duo to match with zutara!

Hello, are you looking for a new atla ship? Sick of the ship wars? Consider with me, if you will, joining the zukaang fandom.

Do you like grump/sunshine trope? "I don't know why but I thought this thing would be a lot faster." "Appa's right Zuko, in our group, typically we start out our missions with a more upbeat attitude." "I can't believe this." - literally them.

Do you like the yin/yang trope? Zuko's flaw is literally his aggressive approach to his problems which is foiled by Aang's flaw of passive approach to his problems. They are the definition of yin and yang.

Do you like forbidden love? Even beyond the whole "Avatar and Firelord" thing, they both have to have bio children. They are tragic as hell if you want them to be.

Do you like excessive parallels and reading way too much into symbolism? The writers spent way too much effort in building the parallels between these two and there's always more to say about them.

Do you like shared trauma and similar backstories? They literally had an entire episode dedicated to showing how their backstories mirror eachother.

Do you like (lovingly) making jokes at Zuko's expense? What's better to tease him about than his absolute obsession with the avatar.

Do you like parallels to past lives? Zukaang has simularities with Sozin-Roku and Oma-Shu and there's even Kuzon.

Do you like m/m but never felt much connection for zukka? Zukaang is full of connection.

Do you like being canon but kataang just didn't do it for you? Zuko is literally quoted as being the person closest to Aang in his life and there's an official picture of them holding hands as adults and the culmination of the zukaang hug is iconic just like the kataang kiss. They're like an inch away from being canon.

Do you like enemies to lovers but zutara never caught your eye? Their inevitable friendship was built since book one when Aang asked if they could be friends.

Are you sick of antis? Zukaang has two (2) whole anti arguments: the age gap which is nothing between adults, and the idea that Aang is related to Zuko bc Roku was his great grandfather which doesn't make sense unless you consider Korra and Katara to be married. Beyond that people don't care.

Do you prefer small but active ship fandoms to the big name ship fandoms? Zukaang is right on the border, big enough to be plenty active but small enough to be free of drama and full of likeminded people.

Like talking about your ships but rather do it through group chats instead of tumblr? We have an active discord server.

If any of this appeals to you, feel free to join us, we'd love to have you! :D

so thing is with the zutara vs kataang discourse coming back up again (as it inevitably does) is that i as a neutral fan always end up feeling more convinced by the zutara fans’ arguments far more than I am by whatever the kataang fans have to say. I mean, it’s never anything new with them. It’s always “oh, you guys just ship zutara because you think Zuko is hot and you want to use katara as a self insert” or “coloniser x colonised relationship!!” or whatever. And zutara fans repeatedly debunk these arguments all while putting forward detailed analysis and pretty considerable “proof” of the pairing and. their criticisms are superior too! Zutara shippers take their time to study the show in order to explain why they think kataang is flawed, and I, again, as a neutral non shipper can’t help but be all “hmm…they got a point…”

and meanwhile you have Kataang stans hurling the same insults like kids in a playground. It’s been what, how many years? If you’re so convinced that your ship is superior, come up with better arguments!!!

Zukaang Week 2026 is officially 7 weeks away! 🔥❤️🌪️

i need to start aaaaa

[violetiessss]

I’ve seen art/fanworks of K/atara or S/okka wearing the Firelady/consort headpiece for Z/ukka and Z/utara, whether it be modified or not,

and it got me thinking of Aang wearing the headpiece if he wanted to (he probably could but alas, bald).

I love the idea of Aang wearing a sash with the headpiece stuck onto it though. Maybe there would be some swirls on the headpiece that resemble the Air Nation symbol. And while his role as Avatar comes first, he’d wear the sash everywhere.

[violetiessss]

Was not aware that many ZukAangs are Anti Zutara..

[livelovelingwen]

And then I saw the way Tagah went to attack Zuko first..

And I thought, how can I make this about Zukaang?

[violetiessss]

If ZukAang were canon in the movie, the plot would be so interesting aaaaaa

[phantomirage]

Imagine—and I haven't even seen the movie—Tagah finding out about the genocide committed by the Fire Nation; upon learning that Aang is romantically involved with a direct descendant of the perpetrators of that genocide, he would get angry, view Aang as a traitor, and harbor even deeper resentment.

[violetiessss]

You get it! Like that’s some good drama!

[zukaangweek]

You’ve all waited patiently, and the time has finally come for the reveal…

The theme for Zukaang Week 2026 will be INTERTWINED DESTINIES!

The prompts for each day are as follows:

Yin & Yang/Parallels - Sunday, August 23rd

Red String of Fate/Opposites Attract - Monday, August 24th

Scars/Healing - Tuesday, August 25th

Dreams/Memories - Wednesday, August 26th

Before you get started on creating, let’s go over some general information (full FAQ list can be found on our Carrd website)!

What fanworks we will and won’t accept:

We WILL NOT accept AI content in any capacity. This event is for human-made fanworks only.

We WILL NOT accept creations that contain purposefully offensive/hateful content.

We WILL accept edits, moodboards, playlists, headcanons, meta posts, ANYTHING as long as it is about Zukaang and created for Zukaang Week! You don’t have to be an artist or writer to participate!

We WILL accept fanworks that are not related to the theme/prompts, so long as those fanworks are related to Zukaang and are specifically created for Zukaang Week! The prompts are meant to promote creativity, not restrict it, so you are not limited to only posting on Free Day - feel free to create whatever you would like!

We WILL accept NSFW/Mature submissions, provided that they are tagged appropriately and both characters are clearly depicted/stated to be 18+. Please make sure to add a SFW (safe for work) preview when posting NSFW/mature content on Tumblr. For art, you may include a link to the full NSFW work on a different site (Bluesky or Twitter, for example) in the text of your preview post if you would like, as long as there is a warning that the content is for 18+ only.

What to know about posting fanworks:

The best way to ensure that we can find and reblog your fanworks are by using the tags “zukaang week 2026” and “zukaang week” when posting. We also recommend tagging us in the post directly with @zukaangweek. If we for some reason miss your post, you can mention us with @zukaangweek in the comments, or send us an ask or DM containing the link to the post and we will reblog it.

Since Zukaang Week is intended to inspire the creation of new Zukaang fanworks, previously posted works not specifically created for Zukaang Week will NOT be reblogged or accepted into the AO3 Collection, even if they fit one of the prompts. However, we DO welcome submissions of ongoing fics that post a new chapter during Zukaang Week, as long as they follow the guidelines.

If you run out of time to complete a prompt, don’t panic! We will be happy to reblog any late Zukaang Week submissions ALL the way up until next year’s Zukaang Week! Just make sure to tag your post accordingly and/or mention us with @zukaangweek.

For AO3 writers who will be participating in Zukaang Week, don’t forget to add your fic to the Zukaang Week 2026 AO3 collection - it will open up once Zukaang Week begins!

If you would like to post your Zukaang Week creations elsewhere, we are also holding Zukaang Week over on Twitter on the same dates listed above! If you want to crosspost to Twitter, just make sure to use the hashtags “zukaangweek2026” and “zukaangweek” and/or tag us with @/zukaang_week. Feel free to post your works to other sites as well, but just know that we won’t be able to reblog/retweet them.

Other good stuff to know:

We have a Zukaang Discord server - feel free to check it out if you are interested in chatting about our favorite ship!

As always, feel free to send us an ask or DM if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!

We hope that you’re all as excited as we are for Zukaang Week this year! We can’t wait to see what everyone creates! 🔥❤️🌪️

ZukAang/Firestorm family drawing

I’m not a good artist by any means but I tried. This is meant to look similar to Zuko’s canonical family photo

Kids names from left to right: Ran, Kuzon ii (the toddler), Nima, Shaw

[violetiessss]

Overprotective bf Zuko x Overly jealous bf Aang

[violetiessss]

If ZukAang was canon in the movie, Zuko would’ve been SO overprotective. He’s glaring Aang and Tagah cause if the new guy makes one move on Aang, it’s over

[violetiessss]

I wish there was more aang mpreg

[apaszka]

some silly sketches of aang and his spouses :3

[kaze-khaos]

I love how Aang calls Zuko so casually, and then Zuko calls Aang by his whole ass official title.

I can imagine them being married and the way they refer/ introduce one another to other people being completely different 😭

Aang: "I'm Aang! And that's Zuko, my husband :)"

Zuko: "I am Firelord Zuko, and this is my spouse, bearer of my children and Consort of the Fire Nation, Avatar Aang."

ZUKO WOULD BE WAYY TO FORMAL MAN 💀💀💀

[violetiessss]

This!

Zuko would list all of Aang’s titles

“This is my husband, founder of Republic City, an airbending master, bridge between the spirit and real world, fire consort of the fire nation, ender of the hundred year war, mother to (zukaang kid names), Avatar Aang.

[violetiessss]

Are there any fanworks with healer!Aang? Not just for ZukAang but in general? It’s such an interesting concept to me.
