i respectfully object to your analogy, sir

Dear fandom at large and fandom wank and ATLA fandom in particular,

Stop comparing Zutarians to Harmonians. Please stop, for me. I never liked that pairing. And if we're going to be compared to rabid delusional fans, I'd much rather be compared to Spuffy fans. Or Doctor/Rose fans. Because I like those ships better, and I've been called nasty things as a member of those as well.

It's kind of a shallow request, I know, but humor me here. Hell, "SPUFFY" is shorter to type and easier to spell than "HARMONIAN" anyway.

P.S. And really, we Zutarians haven't earned it. Compared to the three fandoms above, we are tiny, and so is our wank. Which I'm okay with. Although we are apparently big enough to get a voice actor to make a little tribute video to us, which is still pretty freaking funny. See previous post.

I have a soft spot for Toph/Sokka. I really like Suki as a character and I believe that she loves Sokka--probably more than Sokka loves her (because Sokka's kind of immature), so I kind of default ship them. But I love that Toph has a crush on Sokka, and I feel like there's a strong basis there for something in the future, when they're older and if Sokka somehow never married Suki. But of all the characters, it's easiest for me to picture Sokka and Suki getting married and popping out kids, so it's kind of hard to actively ship them with other people.

Sokka/Suki was probably my favorite canon ship, since I generally felt that it was made clear what each character saw in the other. But Toph/Sokka tickles me because I think they'd be awesome together and have fun and hilarious adventures. All the characters are still kids, so I kind of refuse to believe that the ships the canon ended with HAVE to be relationships the characters remain in forever. It's plausible, of course, but not necessary. They could just as easily grow out of the relationships as they get older. And...that's where fic comes in. XD
