Two years and a hellish shipping stamina will do that.

Think we could ever rival Zutarians with our shipping stamina? ;D

We might give them a good run, Heck we might even come out on top if Zuko ever decided to go back and make amends with Song in the finale..

I think Soko stamina is already superior...there's so much less to go on...

Personally I think we own the market when it comes to level-headness. We would not out and out attack another ship.

And the not-actual-supporters (like me) feel safe in here...

Well, I have been told we are the win-ship all around, for simple fact that we have less wank. XD Srsly, compared to what I hear about the rest of the fandom, we are the small, sane part of it.

Is it me or do the ships tend to take on the personalitiy traits of the charachters they support?
Compare this group to Song's all around demanour. You might see more than one similarity.

But...I'm a Zuko fan...and I haven't once relentlessly hunted down a 12-year-old boy...

YET, Nandi. YET. ;D
jk. You're not really a shipper, so I don't think the theory applies to you. But really, I think the reason everyone in here likes Soko, not because they're using Song to project their fangirlish ideals, but rather because their relationship holds the best story potential. I notice a lot of people in here really care more about the story, at least more than they do about seeing Song and Zuko hook up. I mean, it'd be nice, but I think we're more concerned with the story of Avatar not sucking--and we want to see Song and Zuko be happy. We just think this pairing would suit those circumstances better.

Of all the stories in the Avatar universe, this one has yet to be resolved, and It deserves to be resolved too. Song did so much to give Zuko charachter developement and get him started on the path from two dimensional to full rounded. well almost. Auko kinda backpeddled in Crossroads of destiny. But he's getting better!!!

Yeah...but I get the feeling the returning characters will be the ones Aang met...not the ones Zuko met...

So far this has been true... but We've already discussed in previous Dayspas that that it would be a smart move plot-wise to bring Song back rather then just introduce another character and have to build up a new backstory for them. And it would make Song speshul. And yes, I think a lot of shipping wank tends to form from shippers (who are, for the most part, female) who are practicing a more literal form of wank on their own... at least that's how it seems to be in my other fandom.

Yeah, that's the question at this point... really, this season has just been a major pain. First the waiting for it to start, then the waiting for actual f-ing plot and now I just kinda wanna get to the end...
This is not a good thing.
Song being brought back might make me happier depending on the _how_.
