1. Denial
Making fanart, even though the show has ended AGES ago, still creating fanfics and keeping hopes up.

2. Anger
Raging on Bryke. “WTF BRYKE HOW COULD YOU?! THE MAJORITY OF YOUR FANS ARE ZUTARIANS! YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR FANS!!”

3. Bargaining
You bring up ideas of how Zutara could work in some way, if some things would happen. Kill off a minor character? Make Aang gain world peace by making him die? please? Bryke?..

4. Depression
It’s over. Zutara is over. Nothing is fair anymore. Don’t mind me, I’ll just die in this corner here, while my Zutarian heart is bleeding.

5. Acceptance
You know? It’s not so bad after all. There’s a new series, so a whole new start! Let’s ship something new! Yeah! Perhaps Zutara really wasn’t meant to be!
