u/olivearai

so i joined the atla fandom recently and started shipping zutara since watching the show (i see the appeal behind kataang, but it’s definitely not for me). honestly, after interacting in the fandom, it kinda got me thinking — are a good portion of zutara shippers eldest daughters/sons/children and saw the parentified aspects in the show?

i myself am an eldest daughter, and while watching atla, it just made sense for katara to be with someone who she didn’t have to pull much weight for. it seems draining imo, especially having lived through it myself. just wondering if that’s a part of the demographic here lol
