Your one post said about potential in Ty luko. What did you mean by that?


I just find that, when you look at these characters, there's actually a lot that could lead to an interesting dynamic, platonic or otherwise.

1 - They know each other since they were kids. That already opens the door to cutesy moments AND underated dramatic moments like Ty Lee saying "I do know you" at the beach, when she can tell that Zuko isn't as okay with destroying stuff from his childhood as he pretends he is.

2 - They both felt unwanted in their own homes, were in the shadow of their sibling(s), struggled to figure out their own identity separate from the very toxic homelife they grew up in, and would eventually choose to leave and joined "the enemy"

3 - They both struggle with needing validation (Zuko from his father, Ty Lee from literally anyone because she just doesn't believe her parents, aka the source of her trauma, are ever gonna care at all)

4 - They're both VERY emotional people who feel things very intensely, the difference is Ty Lee can put on a happy facade, while Zuko can't front to save his life.

5 - They both had someone in their lives that they loved, but that was the worst at respecting/understanding how healthy relationships worked.

6 - I just like ships that involve "the angry one" being in love with a pure ray of sunshine

7 - I just like the thought of Zuko 100% believing everything Ty Lee says about auras and taking it very seriously (yes, this is about how he tried to get Mai to "defend her aura" on The Beach)
