I feel so...legitimitized. Though I'd probably prefer a cafe or tea room to a war room too, but! Whatever. This is still the perfect occasion to debut my new sig and icon! I was always intrigued by Mai/Zuko because I always felt like putting the perpetually unimpressed, disaffected-by-everything Mai with Zuko, who's so prone to fits of temper and being very obvious when he feels things strongly, would just be an interesting dynamic. I can imagine Zuko going off about one thing or another and Mai just sitting there calmly waiting for him to wear himself out, maybe offering up a few dry remarks here and there. And, you know, in times when he wasn't upset you just know that they would sit around in comfortable silence because neither of them seems like the sort that needs to talk just to make noise. Which is also why they strike me as the sort of couple who would communicate things with a look as well. YES. I have extrapolated an awful lot from two episodes, only one of which they appear in together. But that's because I've spent far too much time thinking about this. My sentiments exactly. I like your sig and avatar, by the way. They look good.

Thanks! They took me longer than they should have as I kept dying from cute overload as I stared at the caps.

After "Zuko Alone," this pairing is too cute to ignore (even though Zuko didn't seem to like Mai).
*ships Maiko*
But I still want Song back, dang it!

As I've mentioned on other threads, the way their interaction played out was just how I'd envisioned it, her throwing him adoring looks as he goes about his business, none the wiser. I didn't, and wouldn't, expect Zuko to reciprocate her feelings at that young age. He was still firmly in Girls Are Icky mode, not to mention being forced to play with them, and subsequently being teased.
His "Girls are CRAZY!" was classic. Ah, Zuko. Give it a few years and you won't think that anymore. Or, you will, it just won't be the most important thing that girls are.
Also, I'd totally love for Zuko to return Song's ostrichorse. I just think it would be a wonderful gracenote for his "finding himself" arc.

Aw, a shipper coffee house would be cute! But a War Room is more for discussion than for war.... if that makes sense. ...but a coffee house would be cute!! We're going to have a shipper tea party (non-shippers invited, too) in like two weeks, btw! Should be fun!
Anyway, as much as I love this ship, I have my doubts as for how long it would last... But maybe that's just me. I would love to see it, though. ...though not as much as Zutara. But you guys knew that, lol.

It's the main thing people are ticked off at him for, stealing that critter when Song was so nice to him! Plus, it would give those Soko shippers something. Don't support that pairing, but I'm in favor of every ship getting a little screen time ;D

^ True, true. Every ship needs a little something.

Mai is a great character and Zuko Alone was a great ep. I think that Maiko is a great 'ship and I think the two would do quite well now that they are older. I've always thought Zuko would end with either someone from his past or wouldn't end up with anyone at all (my own personal theories for the show).

In my opinion, this ship seems a lot more likely then Zutara, and since when is likely a bad thing...

I think that Mai's crush is cute, but I still think it's one sided. There really hasn't been any proof that Zuko feels anything at all for her...but even in the non canon world, I just think they wouldn't work. They're both so serious and intense that I think it would be overwhelming. With such extreme personalities, I feel that a little balance is need for a healthy relationship. That's why, in terms of Zuko and Mai, I ship Zutara, Zukka and....Mai/Ty Lee. Yes, you heard me right. ...Please don't hurt me. >.<

^ Nah, we love you. ^.^ I don't know if its one-sided. After all, Zuko was thinking of her for some strange reason. There's hope... ;D You know what? I really like the sound of a Tea room, rather than a war room... its a good idea guys...lol... I think kadaj came up with this, right? Gotterdammerung, I love your sig and avatar. Zuko and Mai together is too adorable. I mean, just look at this pic: Image from firebender.com

One episode where the two were children and Zuko was acting very much like a boy at that age would act towards girls (especially with a bratty sister like Azula) and suddenly it's deemed that any relationship would and is one-sided. I'd like to see them interact in further episodes.
