okay my endgame atla ships if i have to settle:
Zukaang: OTP. Get together as adults. Working on a bigass fic about their friendship and how it turns into the most carnal yaoi romance of asll time, and they're it and they're my primary source of inspo for atla fanart. made a lot of amazing friends through the ship too.
Azutara: I like the other Katara WLW ships ALOT and its hard to pick between them, but I think Azula would become her best self with Katara. They could be really amazing enemies to lovers I think and both have raging crushes on each other.
Mailee: They're most definitely the sweetest paring for the two. I like shipping Tyzula, but I think Mailee provides the least toxicity and they have a lot of sweet moments together.
Sukka: I like them a lot. I also REALLY love Yuekka, but because Yue is dead </3 Sokka can be with Suki in life and then with Yue (or both in the spirit world.) I think they're a really healthy depiction of an egalitarian straight couple, which I'm all about, and Suki brings out the best in Sokka.
I don't really have a partner in mind for Toph, aside from Smellerbee maybe or Lin Beifong's dad from the comics. I can see her going through life without a formal romantic relationship and being happy too, being fulfilled by herself and her platonic friendships.

Honorary mentions because I consider myself a multishipper still, or because I find the fandoms to be really nice:
Azulaang: Love the ship and the shippers <3
Sokkla (Sokka/Azula): Never really considered the ship but I love the shippers sm.
Tokka: If I had to pick a Toph ship this would be it, but Sokka already has so many good pairings.
Sukitara: Amazing. Second choice for Katara for sure. In a world where Azula cannot be redeemed (not my hc personally), I'd probably have Suki go for Sokka's hotter sister and Sokka get with Toph then.
Tyzula: Azula obviously has a soft spot for Ty Lee so I think they COULD work, plus the edgy + soft girl aesthetic is cute. They kind of are like yuri zukaang in a way too.
Taang: Shippers are also great. The some of the best adult Aang fanart I've seen has come out of their fandom, which I love.
