The fact that both of zukos abusers used lightning against zuko and instead of learning to use lightning himself like he could have he learned how to redirect the lightning and let it pass through him and then straight clean out of him… Do you ever think about how that is literally physically representing how instead of absorbing his father and sisters abuse he lets it pass through him and instead of soaking it in and letting it destroy him he redirects it away from himself… I just want some peace in my life

ok but:  child autistic prince zuko stimming with firebending and accidentally burning things down

u think im joking but nothing is as important as autistic prince zuko

• autistic zuko who cant for the life of him figure out why he has so much trouble communicating n struggling with some super anxiety over it bc that’s canon
• autistic zuko who attaches so much importance to his honor bc he’s terrified he won’t be worth anything without it (also canon)
• autistic zuko figuring out how to relate to other people in a way that doesnt make him sound like a raging dick all the time (canon)
• autistic zuko not being sure what to do about friendships and actually being loved (canon)
• autistic zuko learning that his destiny is his own and evolves independently of the tyranny of the fire nation and doing his best to make up for his past mistakes (canon)
• autistic zuko scripting conversations before having them and trying fifteen different ways to say the same thing (canon)

like pls make room for autistic zuko interpretations in ur life this is something that was only revealed to me like two days ago but is so important

autistic zuko’s older sister being a giant dick to him and not presuming his competence (canon)
