I've spoken before on the many reasons I dislike M@iko, but I think the main reason is that it's just two people being depressed and constantly projecting negativity on each other. As someone whose been in that really awful mindset before the idea of having a partner incapable of offering comfort due to their own shitty situation is just awful to me.

[bluespiritshonour]

Another thing I've been muling over: a complain I've seen about Maiko is that she keeps him from going on the right path—and... I agree.

For Mai, Zuko's well-being is her sole concern and the rest of the world could crash and burn and that's... Okay?

Realistically speaking, your support system should NOT be one person. One thing I love about ATLA is that (despite romance writing not being one of it's strong points) the lack of ships that follow the tropes.

Kataang is not an archetype. Neither is Sukka or Maiko.

Having your support system be just your romantic partner isn't healthy (for them or for you) or realistic. But most romances do that and until I watched ATLA it didn't occurred to me that that's not a good thing.

ATLA and Maiko are very realistic in that Zuko needs both the Gaang and Mai. He needs the Gaang to hold him accountable for every shitty little thing he did—and he needs Mai there to keep from spiraling and self-destruction.

Zuko and his uncle were de facto conquerors, so they had to do much more to redeem themselves than Mai and Ty Lee (mere soldiers, but NOT innocent) had to.

Zuko had to work hard to earn the Gaang's forgiveness (personal opinion: he should've grovelled more and he should've been called out on his racism against Aang) and Uncle Iroh reconquered Ba Sing Se in the name of it's people.

They both did reparations to the very people they hurt. And their crimes were much more direct and vicious compared to Mai and Ty Lee’s.

As someone not as responsible as them, Mai and Ty Lee's redeeming themselves was at the Boiling Rock.

And well, when Zuko is Firelord right after the war—he would be paying for the crimes of his ancestors. He needs the Gaang there to keep from acting like he did with Katara pre-Southern Raiders (everyone else seems to have forgiven me!) and he needs Mai to keep himself from actually spiralling into self-destruction and undeserved guilt (Sozin's and Ozai's faults aren't his even if he's paying for it and someone needs to remind him that)

So, yeah. He needs them both for different things.

As for Mai, her conflict was that she was never allowed to express herself. And loving Zuko made up for that—she finally stands up for something she believes in (not in the cause, but in Zuko) and Zuko didn't even have to do anything beside exist. He didn't “fix her.”

Although, again I do have the the complain that Mai has to do a lot of emotional labour for him and if you really are gonna shit on Maiko: it's Zuko who needs to step up, not Mai—well, Mai tried to “fix him” and she couldn't!

That's so important to me!—I’m tired of girl fixes boy narrative. And she couldn't fix him because only he could fix himself and Mai herself is used to making the best out of a situation and being selfish/passive/choosing the path of least resistance. She tried to do to Zuko what worked for her (or maybe didn't, considering she was coping)—and well—later when Zuko's Firelord it'll be Mai who keeps him from harming himself.

Zuko needs both to be balanced out.

He needs multiple people to act as support system and that's both healthy and realistic. Mai isn't everything and neither should she be.

I know what the comics did; don't bring them up here. It's not about the comics.

#maiko #atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #mai #atla mai #gaang #zuko and the gaang #atla maiko #honestly i would admit that atla's writing of romance is lacking #but if you don't like maiko it's not mai's fault #if anything it's zuko's #jerk didn't even apologize for his behaviour on the ember island #mai threw her lot in with him whole heartedly no hesitation #he should've made up to her too #say whatever you want but mai loved that boy #in defense of mai #i just felt like word vomiting #pro maiko

[zuko-always-lies]

Ty Lee and Mai had a hand in helping Azula conquer the Earth Kingdom and for some reason the gaang is already completely buddy-buddy with them..?

If you actually pay close attention to the end of the series, the Kyoshi Warriors are buddy-buddy with Ty Lee, but there's no indication that she's close to the Gaang. As for Mai, she's Zuko's girlfriend, so they have to tolerate her. But the person playing Pai Sho with her at the end is Suki (again a Kyoshi Warrior), not one of the Gaang.

This leads to a hypothesis: the Kyoshi Warriors are cool with Mai and Ty Lee because the Dangerous Ladies actually treated them pretty well after they captured the Warriors, or at least better than the Kyoshi Warriors (child-executing maniacs that they are) expected.

What about the Gaang?

Zuko has no reason to hold anything against Mai or Ty Lee.

Aang wouldn't hold that sort thing against him, because he tries very hard to be compassionate and forgiving.

I'm not sure that Toph would care about something like that. She likes Iroh, and he did far, far worse, and she forgave Zuko pretty easily.

Sokka would be more suspicious, and in fact he is suspicious when he notices Ty Lee is a Kyoshi Warrior. However, Mai did kind of save his life...

Katara would probably be the one that's least favorable to both Mai and Ty Lee.

Mai, Ty Lee and Azula having gone to an all girls school together actually explains so much about who they are both as individual people and a group.

thank you the boiling rock for my life. i am never emotionally prepared for one of the best mai x zuko moments (when mai saves zuko by stopping the guards from cutting the gondola line) to be immediately followed by one of the best mai x ty lee moments (when ty lee saves mai by binding azula's bending). a one-two punch that is so crazy every time.

The Holy Trinity of the Caribbean.

incorrect quotes.

Mai and Ty Lee, dressed as men: Captain Az!

Azula: Will you join my crew? welcome to the board!

Mai: I came to look for the woman I love.

Azula stops with a disgusted face, she didn't like boys.

Azula, while gesturing to her subordinate to leave:: You really flatter me, but my only love is the ocean.

Ty Lee: Azula!

Azula, turns around quickly: Girls! hide the rum.
