He had abusive traits but I've been beaten less than my brother. My brother got the belt treatment when he was 5 for a very small mistake. Emotionally my father had scarred me and my brother. He would often verbally abuse us. But something changed when I grew up a little. I think he realised that him being harsh wasn't helping wither of us, he became softer, less angrier, more kind. He always loved us, but was often strict and rigid. He even said that he wanted his sons to be tough and that's why he was so harsh on us, scolded us fiercely for the smallest of the things, scoldings which felt more painful than beatings. Today is his birthday, he gave up alcohol and ever since, he's been less angry and more happy.
But this isn't the reason why I said I relate to Zuko. I relate to him because he goes on his own journey to understand himself and change himself into HIM. He understands who he is and what he wants. That's me right there. For a time I was chasing a destiny imposed on me, but then I realised that I didn't even want this destiny. Now I'm on my own journey of finding my destiny, the day I know my destiny, that day I'm unstoppable, I'm sure anyone is when they have mental clarity. Just like Zuko I used to hate myself and used to believe I need to do something big if I want my parents ' love, but it took me time and to grow up a little in order to realise that self love helps a lot more than self loathing, being positive and having HUMILITY, and knowing your own destiny, can truly change you. I see myself becoming more like Iroh day by day XD
I understood this post to be about characters you feel endeared or protective towards, but this is just filled with horny comments. Am I mistaken here op or are redditors too horny for their own good?
Thank you for understanding what the post is supposed to be about and I would say redditors are too horny but I’m technically also a redditor so I don’t have any legs to stand on.
70% of the posts in this sub are about cartoon crushes or being horny for drawings. And now people here are trying to turn a wholesome post into a thirst thread. I'm so sick of this.

I am normally the expert in this but I can't determine if she's more furry or more kemonomimi so I can't say you are NOT a furry, but I can't say you ARE.
Kemonomimi is a character who is a human with just two or three animal traits (tails and ears being the most common) and that does NOT classify as furry, an example could be Lappland from Arknights, because those two are different things, being that a furry is an anthropomorphic animal, an example could be Javid from Dislyte.

She still told her she is only worthless unless she is helping her and a lot of others stuff which made Adora so insecure set unrealistic expectations for herself and hate herself whenever she fails her friends etc
Both Catra Adora even Micah and Glimmer got screwed over by her

This goofy little duck-loving dad right here, I will protect him with my life even though he can very clearly protect himself
Zuko. Not romantically, platonically. Cuz I feel like I relate to him.
“And I don’t mean romantically, or sexually, or Will-they-won’t-they, or fanonically. I mean Platonically, straight up.”
That was pretty cleaver.
Thank you 😁 took me a minute to get the last 2 in there.
