He is kneeling on the Agni Kai court, crying with his face upturned.  Caption: “I grew up abused and Zuko was the first character, person, thing I ever completely and fully related to. I know I’m not the only one who has had horrible abuse in their past, and I realize I don’t have a major good/evil life changing decision to make and I’ll never accomplish anything amazing like Zuko but watching Avatar, learning about his past, it made me feel not so alone because I had someone to relate to.”]

The screencap has a soft pink tint to it. Text: ” She’s helped me realize I’m a lesbian. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I first saw this show three years ago, and I’m finally coming to terms with it and what it means for me. “]

It’s night, and they are standing less than a foot apart and facing each other, with Zuko grasping Katara’s wrists in his hands. Zuko has a somewhat threatening expression on his face, and Katara looks a bit frightened.  Text at top: ” “I’ll save you from the pirates.” ” Text at bottom: ” I don’t see how people can think of this as a “romantic” Zutara moment…It borders on “creepy” to me. “]

Hey, everyone!

This is the new fandom secrets blog for Avatar: the Last Airbender. Not sure if anything’s gonna happen with it, but it’s worth a shot, yeah? Submit your secrets and I’ll post them anonymously. 

A few ground rules:

  • Swearing is allowed. 
  • Submit wank at your own risk. If shitstorms occur, I will react accordingly. 
  • No goddamn ship wars on this blog.
  • If you’re submitting a secret that has to do with something that could trigger someone (e.g. rape, kidnapping, contains slurs, etc.), add a trigger warning to your submission. If you don’t, I will, but it’d be nice if you could add one yourself. 
  • Also include an image description if you can, or at least caption it with what it says. If you don’t include one, again, I’ll add one, but.. yeah.
  • If what you’ve submitted to me is horrifically offensive, I’m not gonna fucking post it. Yes, that is up to my discretion. Use your common sense. If I get too many submissions that I have to decline, I’ll make another post clarifying.  

If you have any questions, ask.

Got it? All right! Feel free to submit!
