Thoughts on Avatar character/pairings
Spoilers through The Beach, at which point I failed at finding episode 3x06 anywhere, so I had nothing better to do than jot down opinions.
Aang/Katara: Yeah, canon. They're cute, and sometimes adorable. It was a little bizarre at first because it kind of came and went during the first season, but it's more consistent now and thus more believable. Also, I've liked the older girl dynamic for years and years.
Aang/Toph?: I kind of like this. She kicks his ass.
Sokka/Toph?: I think she's crushing on him, but I don't know. I think I'd prefer Sokka/Suki. Not that I can blame Toph, I mean -- he is pretty awesome. But I don't want him to be with someone who would ruthlessly batter him down every time he was feeling awesome. :(
Iroh/Toph?: I'd go for it. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladycrysiana, I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who had bad thoughts.
Zuko/Katara: As of The Beach, these fans are kind of reaching, although I find the pairing slightly more interesting than Aang/Katara. (They're just both so -- nice? Zuko and Katara have a less complacent dynamic.) I think I would've thought about it even without knowing fans of it existed, which is kind of telling.
Zuko/Mai: Oh god, please stop. I don't want to see them touching or kissing or anything. I mean -- why? Because he's expected to? Because they were before? Because she doesn't make him put forth any special effort? Because they brood the same way all the damn time? Is he really turned on by the girl who is bored by everything and just sits in one place all the time making occasional monotone commentary? This had no development, no introduction, no basis in anything but one flashback where she blushed over him when she was like, eight. And then it was just there the moment the third season started and stuck like a leech. My squick at this pairing is probably partially compounded because
Mai: She puts me to sleep. I really could do without her. I think even Azula could do without her. I mean, when has she ever even made an effort to do something for Azula's sake? No, it's always, "I'm not doing that, ew," or, "That's too much work, sigh," or, "Just take the bear and let Azula's captives escape, I don't care." Get off your lazy ass. If only your mom had compounded your mother issues by slapping you senseless more often.
Zuko should go back and find that nice girl in Ba Sing Se, and Azula and Ty Lee will be just fine on their own. Speaking of,
Azula/Ty Lee: That'd be shiny. They suit each other, in the sense that Ty Lee can take Azula's poison and even admires her for it and isn't hurt by it -- unless she IS, in which case Azula is quickly sorry -- and their relationship has been interesting from word one, which is more than I can say for Azula and Mai.
Azula/Zuko: This would be nothing but cruelty. Cruelty and incest. I'd enjoy it way too much.
Iroh: Is the awesomest thing ever, but everyone knows that already. Except Zuko. But that boy ain't that bright, you know?
Um, I can't think of anything else I wanted to comment on.
