The contrast between these two images is very bad for my mental health

1. The focus on whether or not a pairing will become canon as a reason people should ship something or not.  Do you not understand what the “transformative” part of “transformative works” means?”

2. This idea that saying “I ship that” means “I think that, as presented in canon,this is a perfect, healthy relationship that everyone should model their relationship after.” 

I'M OFFICIALLY FED UP WITH THE "ZUTARA SHIPPERS ARE MEAN TO AANG BECAUSE HE'S NOT CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE" TROPE!!

FOR GOD'S SAKE, PEOPLE, ZUKO IS NOT CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE!! DON'T YOU THINK THAT IF SCARS MADE PEOPLE MORE DESIRABLE, THEY — AND ZUKO CANONICALLY — WOULDN'T FEEL SO INSECURE ABOUT THEM?!!

HIS WHOLE LEFT PROFILE CONSISTS IN ABRADED SKIN TISSUE!! HE HAS VISIBLE SKIN FOLDS!! IT'S A MIRACLE WHENEVER HE GETS TO FULLY OPEN HIS LEFT EYE!!

🙊🙊🙊🙊

also I went back and re-edited Aang’s stupid beard off and fixed his jawline among other things

You say that as if S1 Zuko wasn't completely adorable on the three occasions he wasn't screaming at anyone, like...

Per the leaks Zuko and Katara do not interact for the entire film. Zuko's Azula scar from the finale has been erased yet Aang kept his. The 'not a couple' bit is bait. Stills of all of Zuko and Katara's scenes together have been posted.

They do this. You know they do this. They tease you with your favorite pairing, just to jam their self-insert ship down your throat.

Of course, Zuko would be forever grateful that Katara was not only able to save his life, but stop his sister without killing her.

Of course, they would cherish the relationship that they forged together through adversity, mutual respect and trust.

Of course, they would come to realize that the reason they both ran with reckless abandon to save the other during the final Agni Kai was because maybe their friendship had become something more.
