Zuko having a connection to the spirit world but instead of it being something deep and profound, it’s just because he spent three years pre-finding the avatar running towards the first weird magical shit he saw.
Aang and Zuko journey to the Spirit World.
The Spirits: Oh look, the avatar.
The Spirits when they see Zuko: AND HE BROUGHT ZUKO WITH HIM! GUYS ZUKO’S BACK!!! EVERYONE HE’S HERE!!! ZUKO YOU BASTARD HOW ARE YOU?!
I now want an entire story where approximately 60% of the spirit world adopted young angry Zuko. (The other 40% were mostly just dicks)
Aang spirit connection: The avatar
Sokka spirit connection: We just think he’s neat
Zuko spirit connection: Guy kept barging in so eventually we just left the door open for him
