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

EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

BELIEEEEEEEEEEEVE

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

Hestia is the Greek Goddess of the hearth, home, architecture, the state, and family. She’s also one of the virgin Goddesses who is seen as a protector deity. Legend says that she was originally one of The Big Twelve (or the Olympians, or the council) but she stepped down to keep the peace on Olympus when Dionysus showed up. 

General: hearth, home, living flame, architecture, bowl, veils, pantry, keys, pictures of houses you’ve lived in/cool architecture you like, family (chosen family counts) and ancestor stuff 

Animals: donkey (ass) and pigs

Plants: Angel’s trumpet (Datura), California poppy, goldenrod, hollyhock, purple coneflower, and yarrow

Perfumes/Scents: angelica, iris, lavender, and peony

Gems and Metals: amethyst, garnet, gold, silver, and brass

Colors: gold, dark rose, lavender, silver, and black

Things To Pray For: protection, inspiration, happiness, guidance, and help getting rid of the home of negative entities 

Invocation of Hestia Hail Hestia, Ancient heart Mother Goddess of the Spiritual Flame, We thank you for your constant love and care. We ask that you come and dwell here. Make of our home your home. Make of our hearth your hearth. Make of our temple your temple. Make of our hearts one heart, your heat. Hail Hestia! 

Prayer To Hestia  Blessed Lady of the Hearth Keeper of the sacred flames of Olympus Enter this home and make it your own Enter and be welcome Bless all who enter here with peace Bless all who dwell here with your protection Grant me and mine your protection That we may always find our way to you

Personal Experience: I have limited experience with Hestia as I haven’t really started practicing with her yet. But the experiences I have had have all been really positive and easy going.
