To The Non-maikos It’s Always: Mai And Zuko Boring. Mai And Zuko No Passion. Maiko Only Based On Logistics.

Wow you’re so smart for saying Ozai wasn’t evil. That’s definitely a thoughtful observation and not you completely misinterpreting a character and spinning your lack of comprehension as clout.

Ooh, now you’re saying Aang was abusive and the real villain? Boy we’re getting so clout thirsty now. You’re definitely a super smart viewer above these pesky “general audiences” that just don’t get it. Your hyper-fixation on and removal of situational context from a single scene where he does something bad is totally making your point appealing to us mere mortals.

No, no, no, don’t worry that millions of people don’t share your opinion! You’re smarter than them for not being able to properly identify a protagonist and antagonist in a children’s show! They’re just not bright enough! Keep it up queen! You got this! Post that meta about Mai actually being responsible for the Air Nomad Genocide!

I really do like peter wartman art but can he pls start giving zuko his book 3 hair. He's suppose to be around 20 here, if anything he should have longer hair than shorter.

He had his hair in the finale panel in suki alone and then we just never seen it again

I like the outfit they give him in ashes of the academy but his hair is making me mad

“LOK just reduced Katara to a healer” is such a tired take because it simply doesn’t, the fans do.

Katara is 80+ years old, she’s not going to be the frontlines of every battle anymore, and the fact she still uses her healing abilities to help those in need is nothing to scoff at because “well that’s what girl waterbenders are expected to do!”

Which yes, Master Pakku does make sexist comments about how the ‘healing huts are where women belong’, but that doesn’t mean no women is allowed to pursue healing in the name of feminism, it’s about choice. Katara didn’t chose to learn healing back then, but chose to in LOK.

And furthermore, I feel like this plays into how people buy too much into “show don’t tell” where if it happens off scene it ‘doesnt count’ which takes away from all her accomplishments that aren’t explicitly “i just took down 50 bad guys single-handedly”.

Like it’s stated, in the show, that Katara made bloodbending illegal, which at the very least implies some that she held some political power.

I just think it’s silly how people take one episode of Katara, as a teenager who’s actively fighting a war, saying she doesn’t want to be a healer, because of said war, when she’s being pushed into that role by a man and think it applies to 80 year old Katara who’s doing that role of her own volition

ah yes i'm still reading nonsense in the atla tags

calling mai a “toxic” and “bad” girlfriend and aang "abusive/misogynist" but gushing over zuko tying katara to a tree and bargaining her dead mothers necklace.

interesting.

Its the best description of antimaiko i have ever seen

Fiction really did peak with Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 Episode 5 'The Beach,' Didn't it?

One of my favourite ship specific dynamics is when Mai is broken up with/aloof or mean towards Zuko and he's just there teasing her/being vaguely flirty
