Avatar AU where Yue had a twin sister who’s connection was with the ocean spirit 🌊☯️

So you're telling me that Mai saved all of them, Zuko saw this happen, definitely knew what the consequences would be, and indeed Azula was going to straight up KILL Mai before Ty Lee paralyzed her, we know this because she got into the pose for summoning lightning, but he seems to not even think about her again until that one part of the final episode where she shows up to the palace for his coronation (how did she get in there?).

"Mai! You're okay! They let you out of prison?" BITCH WHO IS "THEY"???? HE IS THE FUCKING FIRE LORD!!!! HE IS THEY!!!!!!! WHO WROTE THIS??????

I'm supposed to buy that he is in love with her when he didn't seem worried about her a single time after she sacrificed herself for them all and then apparently also didn't think of her when they won the war? Didn't think to say "Hey! My girlfriend Mai, someone needs to find out what happened to her and where she is and report back to me immediately! I need to know if she's okay!" and then immediately have her released? Her uncle had to pull some strings???? Not Zuko, who is the Fire Lord, but her uncle the warden?????? And yeah I know he wasn't crowned yet but that's more of a ceremonial thing, he still had the authority.

And yeah I know Zuko had a lot on his plate but this is the girl he's supposed to be IN LOVE WITH, she should be one of his first concerns if you want people to believe he's in love with her.

I'm supposed to think the girl he literally tried to DIE for is just a friend and he feels nothing for her but the girl he is allegedly IN LOVE WITH he basically just left behind to die. He was willing to die for Katara, but was willing to put his concern for Mai's life and wellbeing aside for the sake of the mission.

Obviously, from a doylist perspective I don't think this is what the writers intended, but from a watsonian one, this is the conclusion we are led to.

He chose Katara's life over the mission, over his own life, but he chose the mission and his own life over Mai's life.

And I'm supposed to think he was in love with Mai and felt nothing for Katara.

Kyoshi era week day 4 - Spirit World

Some extracts from “Legacy of the Fire Nation” that are making my zutara heart cry aloud.

“They’ll kill us…” “I know.”

“We can’t keep doing this.” “I know. But I don’t know how to stop.”

“This is going to get is both killed.”

“We have to go. They know, we have to go right now.” “What? What are you talking about?” “They know! About us! They know!”

“What if we left? Maybe somewhere else we could just… be.”

“Isn’t this thrilling?” “And absolutely moronic? It really is.”

“We don’t owe anyone an explanation.”

“Relax, no one saw me.” “How can you be sure?”

“Is all this worth it?” “You mean being with you? Because for me, it absolutely is.”
