I love how bitter you are about Zutara b/c honestly like same. So much same
F O R E V E R B I T T E R.
i mean…
classic ‘enemies to lovers’ beginning
also ‘opposites attract’ to the max…. “you rise with the moon, i rise with the sun” coME ONNNN
aLSO both have SECRET IDENTITIES that mirror eaCH OTHER AS HERO / ANTI-HERO whose COLOR THEMES are the OTHER ONES main COLOR JFC
“zuko kept her necklace to track her” UH-HUH “TRACKING” PURPOSES suuuuuuuuure (this little moment for sure launched a thousand fics of him starting at it wondering why he didn’t want to give it back uGH my heart)
um LOCKED TOGETHER IN A CAVE?? WHERE THEY START TO UNDERSTAND WHERE EACH OTHER ARE COMING FROM / HOW THEY HAVE STRUGGLED AND/OR MESSED UP??? AND HOW ZUKO HAS CHANGED???
um um uMMMM then he betrays her / them and it is heARTBREAKING and aAAAANGST AF (which is just *kisses fingers* shipping perfection)
and tHEN zuko EARNS (***EARNSSSS****) her forgiveness for all of his mistakes and then teaches HER about how to know the difference between justice and revenge…THEY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER SO WELL DAMNIT
zuko becomes part of their Found Family and lOOOK AT THEM FIGHTING PERFECTLY AND COMPLIMENTARY IN SYNC AHHHHH
and then.
AND THEN.
AAAAANNNNNDDDD.
TTTTHHHHEEEEENNNNNNN.
This sequence in the finale. This stunning, emotional, heartbreaking sequence that in addition to be just UNBELIEVABLE animation also has Azula pinpoint that Katara is a WEAK POINT for Zuko and targets that weak point and zuko juMPS IN FRONT OF A DEADLY LIGHTENING BOLT TO SAVE KATARA I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT

If there is ONE ship I will fight to the death for, it is them.
