this is the dark web

every glimpse of post-canon aang and zuko i’ve seen makes it seem like they’d be one of those relationships historians would dig into and find to be full of vague but elegant homoerotic letters

#the recent fire nation illustration and accompanying letter proves it#that whole thing in korra about zuko knowing aang best…#aang#zuko#zukaang#atla#my darling dearest i hope this letter finds you in good health…#sifu hotman i was elated to receive your recent correspondence#just two married men who are emotionally involved with each other#with their wives consent#future historians reading the letters: aw… they must’ve been like adopted brothers#aang letter number 1: zuko i miss the crook of your neck and the warmth of your touch#zuko letter number 23: i helped uncle design a new tea blend and named it after you dear

#it’s even better if zuko and aang themselves are completely oblivious to how romantic they are and they’re just pining fools#while everyone else recognizes that they’re gay as shit#mai and katara sighing fondly in the background…#kya and izumi laughing at how obliviously gay their fathers were before allowing their letters to be published#aang and zuko who’ve slept together on several occasions and stared deeply into each others eyes: we were the closest of friends#historians have a heyday trying to entangle how much of their feelings were romantic or sexual or just really really really deep friendship#historian 1: avatar aang talks about the firelord’s shining golden eyes at least 20 times they were definitely involved#historian 2: no it was a deep bond forged through common interests#they could not have been gay they had wives!#(despite the fact that their wives actively encouraged it)#honestly the debate is basically settled when katara and mai’s correspondence is found#katara: aang bought fire nation incense for the bedroom again#mai: last time aang came over he and zuko walked the courtyard while holding hands#they both fell asleep against each other at the turtleduck pond#katara: goddamn they’re so in love

if you didn’t love kataang when they were two young traumatized genocide survivors learning how to navigate their grief by creating childhood together in the midst of a war that relentlessly tried to steal it from them you don’t deserve them now that they’re hot

Why did the men of Breaking Bad fight each other more over Jesse “Cap’n Cook” Pinkman than they did drugs or money or any of that relevant shit… truly the Helen of Troy of methamphetamine production and distribution
