I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.

[hymnsofheresy]

Not to be a crazy radical or anything, but children deserve to be deeply wanted by their parents.

[hymnsofheresy]

Children shouldn’t be a “stage” in life that everyone is obligated to fulfill; childrearing is not for everyone. More importantly, children shouldn’t be state-enforced punishments for “irresponsible” sexual behavior.

Children are people with thoughts and feelings just like the rest of us. They are conscious of the way people treat them. And they can certainly tell when they are unwanted and/or resented.

zuko staying up all night outside katara's tent is genuinely one of the tenderest moments in the whole show to me because it's so clear that zuko didn't have to do that. whenever we've seen zuko do this before it's usually for a purpose (hunting aang), out of necessity (catching sokka sneaking off to boiling rock so he didn't go into danger by himself), or because someone he loved was in danger (iroh being injured by azula's lightning).

with katara, there's no such urgency. there's nothing stopping zuko from getting a good night's sleep and finding katara the next morning to tell her about the southern raiders. it would hardly have delayed the trip by more than an hour or two, if that. it's likely zuko would've woken up before katara anyway (mr. rise with the sun after all) so he probably could've met her at the same time he did in the show without having to lose sleep and wait outside her tent.

but he doesn't, because he knows that katara would want to know about the southern raiders right away -- that this is information given already six years too late, and which he has no right to keep from her for even a second longer than he has to. i think too that zuko saw some part of himself in katara here; the little boy who ran to find the person responsible for his mother's disappearance the moment he learned she was gone and the teenager who had to live an almost equal amount of time never knowing for sure who had taken her away and why, would surely relate better than anyone to katara's desire for closure, for answers so long denied.

(which is also why i can't take it seriously when people paint zuko's actions in this episode as self-serving. of course he wants to earn her forgiveness -- which, by the way, he should want-- but not once does zuko let his desires take precedence over katara's. if he was going to do that, he would probably have started by not pulling an all-nighter on an uncomfortable ass rock for no logical reason.)

so he stays. he waits. he puts his needs second to hers -- as he will do for the rest of the episode, as he will do when he leaps in front of lightning for her -- not only because he cares enough to try, to figure out what she needs, but because he understands her.

and if that's not love, idk what is.

hey sexy. I can tell by the frequency of your blog updates that you are once again avoiding it all

You know. I kinda feel the need to push back on the common claim that Ozai “pitted Zuko and Azula against each other” because it’s way more true that his intention was to make Azula feel superior through his approval and to make Zuko feel inferior through a lack of it. The whole thing with having a megalomaniacal parental abuser like this is that one child is the scapegoat while the other is the golden child. It’s horrific because it’s inescapable for either sibling. Azula has to be perfect because otherwise she will be treated like Zuko, this is something she basically says aloud in season three. Zuko knows that even when he returns to his father’s side and is in his father’s graces he will never be enough for Ozai, he will always be walking on thin ice until the day he makes a wrong step and it’s over for him. This could be anything from the day it is revealed that Zuko never killed the avatar to once again speaking out of turn. It is very obvious that there is never any authentic competition happening between these two from day one, even as they are both clearly being abused. Ozai’s abuse thrived on the appearance of pitting these two against each other as if they ever had equal chances of winning his preference between them. It was a losing game from the start, but Azula was more useful to him as a subordinate and Zuko was more useful to him removed from the picture.
