Soko War Room III

[gambitia]

Reasons for Soko, copypasted from one of my earlier posts...
I like Soko because, of all the people I could potentially ship Zuko with, this one seems right. I don't feel this same sort of rightness with any other Zuko ship. When it comes right down to it, what I ship has very little to do with logic, it has to do with what I feel and what my intuition tells me. I certainly try to rationalize and justify my ship, but it's that intuitive feeling that pulls me in...and Soko feels right.

With Zutara...I used to ship it, and I have no idea why. I can't for the life of me remember why, or what attracted me to it. Now something just feels off about it, especially since the 2nd season started--I think it has to do with Aang and Katara's deepening bond, but I haven't pegged it yet.

Maiko I can see. In storytelling, nothing's there without a reason, so Mai's crush is going to be important simply because it's there. If the creators wanted to show that Mai can love, they could have had her love any old boy, but they picked Zuko. I think Maiko will be important plotwise later on. Will they be lovers? I don't know. Maiko does have it's own beauty, but that hasn't called to me yet...probably because Mai and Zuko haven't interacted. I don't know what I'll think when they do, but for now this ship doesn't feel as good to me as Soko does.

I liked the skull-and-crossbones in the corner. Made me think.

Here's more Soko reasons, also copypasted from an earlier post.

Song doesn't think that all Fire Nation people are bad; she realizes that anyone can be corrupted by too much power so therefore she's accepting, kind, understanding, willing to help, and not very judgmental. She knows that people can't help what family/life/circumstances they're born into (but hopes they will make the best of it) and that most Fire Nation children are raised with the belief that the war is right and justified, as was the case with Zuko, but now he is seeing and experiencing first hand another side of the war: the impoverished, innocent peoples' of the rest of the world.

Zuko's finally realizing just how much of a negative effect his nation's war is having on these kind and humble people and that he's not the only person who's been negatively affected by it. He's struggling now with what he was taught to believe is good and right including what he wants for himself, and what he's beginning to see as wrong and unjust which is exactly what he originally thought was perfectly fine. Song would understand this and aid him in his journey of discovering the truth and what's right, giving him hope and would eventually help him see that it's his responsibility as heir to the Fire Nation to help the Avatar bring peace once again; and once peace has been reached, he can then rule the Fire Nation in harmony with the rest of the world, which is better than having a constant war to always worry about and having few friends whom he can trust.

Song seems to be pretty much at peace with herself and with those who caused her pain ("It's okay...they've hurt me too."), so I think she'd be very patient with Zuko in helping him find his way to the "right path", so to speak, and in accepting who he is, what's happened to him, and help him move on to better times. Once he's past his turmoil and has found peace (which will probably take a long while), it will bring Song much joy. She can give Zuko hope and peace and he in turn can give her happiness because he will have finally found happiness.

Haha, there's so much Soko love in this room, how can it not be contagious? I agree with everyone, this ship just seems to feel right. More so than most other Zuko ships. And the third one is absolutely adorable!

[kyogoon]

yup, such a lovely ship this is^^ and Song is so peaceful and kind, she'd accept Zuko for who he is and Zuko needs someone like that. Song seems like a person that would stick be him, no matter what ;D

[inuyatta]

So, guys--do you think Song will show up in the second book again, or the third? I'm leaning more towards the third because they seem to be building up closer to the climax of the story and somehow I feel Song will not appear until everything is said and done. Which I wouldn't mind too much because Zuko has to resolve his issues before he can be with any girl.

Also, if she shows up earlier, I can't be disappointed. XD

[kyogoon]

I have a feeling that she's going to show up in the later episodes, which could be in the third book...but I'd be more happy if it was sooner ;D I want to see some Soko moments in the episodes soon^^

[sapphirestar]

^ Same here. But I don't want there to be much romance yet because as inuyatta said, Zuko needs to fix his problems before he can be in a relationship. I just want Song to be there for him and let him know everything's okay and then after a while they can progress to romance.

[Jeth]

I agree. Zuko needs to have The Epiphany that we've all been waiting for since like The Storm!! Then he can move into a relationship. I think she'lll show up in the third season.
