^ No, the dragons weren't heart-shaped in themselves. There's just a beautiful screencap where they're flying around above Zuko and Aang and they form a distinct heart outline over the two with their bodies. You have to remember that these cartoons are worked out frame by frame, so the probability of their doing that completely unintentionally is low. And like I said, putting all those factors together into one episode basically makes it a nod to the Zukaang shippers. It's not canon, it never will be, but it's subtext and adorable subtext at that.

I don't want to get into an Adventure Time discussion here, but how wouldn't a relationship between PB and Marceline make the show better? It's pretty clear that neither of them are suited for Finn, and they're a good couple because both are immortal. The reason people want Bubbline is because the little interaction we've seen between them so far is sweet and likable and extremely well written. It's the same reason you would ship a heterosexual pairing - because it's good romance.

And anyway, there's a distinct difference between subtext and friendship. The two can sometimes be the same thing, but it would be totally possible for Bryke to write Korrasami friendship without any subtext. It would be sad of course, and it wouldn't stop people from shipping it, but it wouldn't fuel the shippers the same way that, say, Korra and Asami doing a Zukaang and dancing together would. So of course we want Korrasami friendship, but subtext would be even better because nothing fuels the fandom's imagination like subtext.
