Melt The ICE

Fanart #4 complete!

Zuko is an exemplary father. He knows his children love the sea, and while Mom Katara is still sleeping or resting, he takes their little ones—who have the habit of waking up early just like him—to the beach. Because when they are on vacation, Katara needs to rest; he believes she has every right to, so he takes care of everything.

If the kids want to go for a swim at 7:00 AM, he takes them to the beach and then heads back after about an hour to prepare breakfast for Katara.

Zuko is literally the man of the house, in the best possible way.

it's likely all bait anyway to boost ratings since zutaras are where the cash is, but they were never going to be able to answer any other way no matter what.

Wooooh okay I finally have the time to reply to this…oh and btw I am very aware of how hostile the antis can get to the actors (I just kinda didn’t get into it in my post you saw).

And all I really have to say is that it still baffles me yet again how hostile antis can get with their precious canon and their canon puritan aggression. Honestly good on the OG actors for being provided extra security. I kinda wish interviewers just won’t bring up zutara at all just for their safety but I know it still is a question that would always be brought up because ZK is very popular. Oh and Dante Basco, I’ve heard he’s been called a creep for shipping zutara because zuko and katara are minors…so I thought would antis use this logic as well if Dante ships KA bc they’re both minors as well? Just saying, they’re a very hateful group.

I actually keep seeing comments of antis under NATLA zutara edits that say something along the lines of “the cast throws up at the thought of zutara” “even the cast hates it too” “they sticking to canon btw 🙄”. Mind you the creators of these edits have not mentioned KA or any slander towards KA and yet they always wriggle themselves into these comment sections. And just saying if I were an actor on that show and I’m a ZK shipper as well and I see these comments, I wouldn’t bring up zutara for my mental health.

You're not the only one, a lot of zutara shippers feel the exact same way.
