Hello! I am new to Distant Horizons and I would like to bring up a debate. While I am an avid Avatar fan, I do not know what couple(s) I should ship. I don't have any current views or reasonings for shipping so I am open to pretty much anything. My only exceptions are that I won't ship anything impossible (like ZuKi or JetKo. They don't even know anything about eachother!) or anything unreasonable (like ZukAang or KatIroh).
If you would like, give reasons that I should support your ship! And please don't tell me to look it up; I have looked it up and still don't know and besides: this is a lot more fun!
P.S. I look forward to being a good member of this community. Thanks everybody!

The only reasonable ship I see going on is the Sokki (or is it Sukka)....
...
...Sokka/Suki.
Being realistic I always figured Kataang was going to happen, but after seeing Aang attempting to reach the final chakra stage and willing to let her go, I don't think it's going to happen.
As for Zutara, I always figured that unconsciously by the public it's favored to have the two most 'attractive' (more or less) characters hook up...but considering that Zuko and Katara never really found time for eachother (let alone ever get in eachother's good side), I always saw it as more of an 'if' than a 'when.' And then at the season finale, I saw that Zutara may actually have a chance...but then seeing how it all ended, it seems Zutara is less likely to happen.
(This of course is just my little insignificant opinion).

Copy and paste your case kyatto! People need to know the TRUTH! Inform the masses! XD Okay for you I shall! I should like...make pamphlets of it and spread it around. Like Jehovas WitnessesDude.. We could be like Jetko's Witnesses or something. XDDDDDD .... My Evidence for Jetko(Ignore my typos...I type like a speed demon) Exhibit A: Jet's smextacular grin upon seeing Zuko.Notice the first part of Zuko that Jet saw was his butt. That grin? His way of saying "Hmmm....Nice @$$...." Exhibit B: Zuko willingly helping Jet without being paid/feeling pity/being forced into it. His inner gaydar went on a hormonal rampage the moment Jet came into focus so all he had to say was "Hey I know of a place where we can swipe free food" and he was like "Count me in." Of course that translate dto "Because after that I know of a dark room where we can have an uber smexy macking session where nobody will catch us." Exhibit C: Every scene in the Serpent's Pass and The Drill the showed Zuko showed Jet. They also shared several "Bonding moment". One of those bonding moments delved deeper in this fanfic. They had more "moments" together in those two episodes, than all the eluded "Zutara" moments over the entire span of 40 episodes. Exhibit D: Even though Jet was all "ZOMG NO FIREBENDER D:" upon Iroh being a moron and heating his tea, he was still hesitant about striking Zuko. IWe know Jet, he likes to strike 'em down hard. If he was convinced he would've just taken them down. But he didn't, because part of him was still dead set on making Zuko his snookums/sexkitten. Exhibit E: Jet was a little TOO eager for Zuko to join the Freedom Fighters.I think Jet just wanted to keep Zuko closer for easier access to the buttsecks. Exhibit F: Jet spied on Zuko for a good several weeks. Who knows what he saw? *pervy thoughts*I think that one explains itself. - There you have it.

lol...now that you think of it, it does make me think twice of Jet's possible...orientation, and there have been attempts of a Jetko fanfics before around. But if anything, I'd think it's all Jet. Not to convinced about 'Exhibit B.' If I was in Zuko's situation at that moment, "free food" would be the only thing needed to spark the agreement.

@ Atmos Yeah, I never thought Zuko was into it. But I WAS suspicious of Jet. His obsession with Zuko, even before he knew he was a firebender. And when he discovers that Zuko has been lying about who he is, and is really a firebender, he has such a "cheated girlfriend" look. XD Here, photographic evidence! Also, when Zuko refused to join the Freedom Fighters (probably was spooked by Jet's "bold advances"), look at Jet's heart-broken face. "Why doesn't he like me?" But besides that, this ship won't set sail. It seemed one-sided and now that Jet's been confirmed dead, there is no hope for further development. So what are my OTPs? Sokka/Every Girl in Avatar Zuko/ Me um...heh... no comment. Don't want to start a shipping war.

Notice how we never saw Jin again either. I think she bought the farm too. Zuko's a walking curse. Long Feng just happened to be the one to act upon it. I swear Jet was gay. EVERY time he was with Zuko he always took a moment to look at his butt. I wish I had the technology because I would take those screencaps... Anyways? What do I like besides the smex that is Jetko? Maiko, Kataang, Zutara, Zuko/Aang, Azuki, Soph, Mai/Ty Lee, Azula/Dai Li, Zucest....Yeah, I like a lot. XD

Well it depends on what you're looking for. If you're into a deep bond, slowly evolving into a romantic relationship, then Kataang is your ship. If you like the whole bad boy/good girl thing, lot of angst and drama (apparantly), then you should go for Zutara. Then there are the Sokka ships, but I never was interested in Sokka shipping, so I don't trully understand the appeal. You'll have to ask a Sokka shipper.
And then there's the matter of plausibility. Do you care whether or not it'll be canon in the end? Sukka is already pretty much canon. To me it's very obvious Kataang'll be canon before the end of the show, but since that tends to be a very sensitive issue, I'll just say it's very probable. And Zuko? Well, the Zuko ship with the most possibilities right now is probably Maiko.
It all depends on taste really. I suggest you just browse through the fandom and just settle with whatever ship(s) you feel most comfortable with.

Just choose the couple that appeals to you the best. Ask yourself what is important for a couple to appeal to you. I for myself started to support Zutara after the show showed the strong bonds of Katara and Zuko to their mothers.

Honestly Sukka isn't cannon till we find out whether or not Suki is a live. Tykka has a big chance of happening too. Ty-Lee we know is a hundered percent a live, plus if she goes to the good side that would give her character development. And if Sokka accepts her that would be character development for him too becuase he's always hated the fire nation, so to accept some one who is apart of that but has a good heart and doesn't want to be that would def show growth. I think Tykka is possible could set sale in the end.

Ugh, Maiko is probably the one ship I am NOT neutral about. I just don't like that pairing.
Otherwise, I'd be happy with any of the girls Zuko could end up with. Zuko/Jin, Zuko/Song, Zutara, I'm fine with any of them.
As for Sokka ships, they're funny because they're so unconventional. The comic relief character has more love interests than the main character! It's so unusual... and Sokka's not even that smooth around the ladies! XD

Doesn't matter if she's dead. The ship was still canon. Like Yuokka.

True, once a ship has been canon, it cannot be denied that status later. Yuokka was canon - nevermind that Yue is dead now, their relationship was clearly established beyond any doubts. Sukka is also canon - and if Suki is dead, that fact would still not change.
