Zuko and Katara both trying to figure out how to ask Aang out vs Aang thinking they are all already dating. Polycules were normal as hell back at the temples, not so much in the recent years with the other nations.

Anyway Zuko and Aang have always had a lot of queer subtext such as metaphorically turning to face each other while laying down to sleep (two halves of the same bed) that requires a shirtless Zuko to turn his back on his nation's flag + added bonus of Zuko missing a love song because he and Aang were too busy saving each other
Zuko not denying the relationship allegations but asserting to June that he doesn't want the girl, he wants Aang
"I want the Avatar" not just his honour + "He's mine". The fact that Aang likewise represents Zuko's hope of going home only provides more layers
Aang asking girls / Katara and Zuko to dance with him
Being ship teased in Ember Island Players
Dreaming about each other (keep in mind that Aang has never seen Zuko shirtless, he's dreaming of him that way Just Because)
You were my purpose, my drive, and still my destiny ("If you keep an open mind and open heart, I promise you will find your own destiny someday" + "You know I have good in me").
Learning from the original bending masters together, being enemies separated by time and war, standing in a whirlwind of rainbow fire together, and building a city together. like Okay
and we all know the Roku/Sozin parallels but how about more Katara/Aang parallels
I watched Dear You today and the dynamic of the three main characters would suit Kataangko in a modern(ish) AU. That's all I'm gonna say; I won't spoil a film that you have to see.
hello. dragons here
atla sideblog of @thethiefandtheairbender & wordswithdragons on ao3
↓ fan since 2009, in the fandom in some way since 2013
↓ you might have seen my atla metas floating around from time to time. i'm also the one who started the aanglove tag
↓ i like all the canon ships as well as some fanon (zukaang, zukka, tokka). kataang, zukaang, maiko, and yuekka are my favourites as well as zutaraang/kataangko (kataang + zukaang ot3).
↓ my favourite dynamic in the whole show is sokka&aang. my favourite season is s3. my fave characters are aang, katara, sokka, iroh, and azula. honourary mentions: mai, jet, hama
↓ aspects of the show i find most interesting: aang's history and trauma, aang&gyatso, the air nomads, post war stuff, the avatar cycle & past lives, katara&hama, katara's view(s) on aang, god-child dichotomy / the thematic sacredness of childhood, whatever the fuck zuko and aang have going on, sokka's arc, pre-reformation iroh, post series and during zuko's exile azula, etc.
↓ sometimes i will also talk about atla and its similarities to stuff from aaron ehasz's other show, the dragon prince. it will be accordingly tagged.
↓ generally tlok critical in a pacing and character writing sense (for the new characters, not the old), but will rarely come up + always be appropriately tagged. strictly speaking, nothing but the OG show is Canon™ to me and i'm willing to take or disregard certain aspects of post-show stuff (comics, novels, tlok, movies, etc) as canon on a case by case basis of Do I Like It or Think It's Interesting.
↓ this is a no discourse blog. do Not ask me about z*tara i Do Not Care about them. i like their platonic canon friendship and seeing anything about behind the scenes conspiracy bullshit is an automatic block/disengage.
↓ that said, i am open and interested in critiques of atla + beyond from a cultural, representation sense and/or from the lens of prison abolition.

Being both a zutaraang shipper means believing both Aang and Katara have the same shitty taste in boys. They're both weak for the 'sad bad boy with a heart of gold' type. Katara gets a bit of a redeem bc Aang is also her type, Aang gets no such pass because Katara is also the sad bad boy with a heart of gold type just with a dash of feminism on it.
Zuko meanwhile is just into people who are too good for him and also can kick his ass but for some reason deal with him anyway.

Zutaraang is so funny and cute to me because Katara and Zuko can’t agree on anything but then Aang just says something and they’re like “yes, absolutely ❤️❤️“
that is exactly the dynamic tbh! bonus points for katara or zuko disagreeing with each other, then aang gently chimes in for the viewpoint he agrees with and the other also immediately folds
haven’t been on this page in a hot fucking minute and now it’s back to kataang vs zutara again … literally just going in circles at this point 😭 guys guys guys just ship zutaraang trust it’s peak
HOLY SHIT ANOTHER ZUTARAANG TRUTHER IN THE WILD??? HIIIII
