So uh I drew this to 90% completion ages ago and never finished it. Then I started on something else but figured I should finish this first. Challenged myself with drawing something more intimate that I'm used to doing and I wanted to throw up from embarrassment every 3 minutes lol Anyway, here's some Kataang
Just seen a tweet from someone saying that Aang “never supported Katara” and it made me upset because this is a common take throughout the fandom surprisingly enough. A big reason why I like Kataang and even said this in my last post is because they were always there for each other even before the romantic moments or the romance they would always help each other. You guys claim to be huge Katara fans that recognize her growth and character or that your “pro Katara” and yet you can’t even acknowledge that Aang was a HUGE FACTOR in her growth just like she was in his. Katara always had her spirit even before became who she became, but Aang helped her ALOT. When she had a goal Aang always supported it and rooted for her…in the very beginning he was willing to fly with her across the world while barely knowing her, when Pakku won’t teach her not only does he risk his training by showing her some stuff but he almost refuses to learn waterbending because he felt like she had a right to do the same, the physical comfort may not be as prominent on Aang’s part but it was there lol he literally immediately drops down and puts his arm around her when she’s broken over bloodbending-he also puts a hand on her shoulder when she’s sad about Jet which makes her smile and enter the group hug. Let’s not forget when she was the painted lady she wanted to blow up a factory and Aang literally assisted her on this and you can see her face light up slightly with happiness when he calls her a secret hero, you can see her face light up when he calls her a water bender in S1, you can literally see her eyes glow when he calls her Sifu which literally means master. When she’s trying to kick that assholes ass in book 1 he literally shouts “go Katara” as he’s rooting for her cheering her on and this actually was very helpful as evident in the Aang book that was published not too long ago. Even when they don’t always agree which was evident in the southern raiders, he tells her that he’s proud of her for embracing forgiveness, she tells him that she’ll never forgive him and guess what? Aang is smiling…Aang is smiling as Katara is choosing to forgive ZUKO instead, yet despite this he still gets hate for this episode from yall even though he’s part of the reason why your ship was even possible. Throughout Katara’s journey Aang was always there to cheer her on and help her progress. The fact that this even has to be said is ridiculous and you guys need to go watch the show. Support can be shown in many ways and it was definitely there from Aang when it came to Katara. Yall also completely undermine/do her relationship with Sokka dirty but that’s a topic for another day.
By D5Vet on rednote: “Taking a short break.”
I honestly believe that Kataang is one of the most underrated relationships in the whole avatar universe and not even just their romance but their friendship too. Yall say “Katara and Aang should have stayed friends” but then do a disservice to their friendship when you label them “mother-son coded” and “sibling coded” they were locked in even before their romance was factored in, that’s also part of why I and plenty of other people love the ship so much. At this point I’ve heard every possible argument against Katara and Aang’s relationship whether they are valid and invalid and all I’ll say is that if you’re gonna say that they should’ve kept it strictly platonic then at least respect their platonic relationship as well because yall do a disservice to their romance and their friendship.
I find it funny how some Zvtara fans act like Kataang fans are jealous of them for some reason. But then they're so desperate to relate elements that are from Kataang (Oma and Shu, Tui and La, Ying and Yang) to their ship.
There is a Zvtara edit with the audio "Tui and La, the moon and the ocean have always made circles in an eternal dance" and not to mention that they have been jealous of Kataang being canon for over 15 years and until now they are still throwing tantrums about it. And there are some who say "Zvtara shippers don't care about canon" it is very obvious from things like this that they don't actually care about canon
"We don't care about canon" meanwhile motherfuckers are pretending the Netflix live action is good just because they convinced themselves they'll get Zutara out of it. The bar is in hell and it's still too high for them.
Ngl being a Kataang shipper is very confusing because you see viral clips and viral videos consistency shitting on it and completely downplaying it like no other canon ship but then they win almost every poll 😭 there’s at least one viral twitter post a month saying that Zutara should have been canon so this is surprising to see on an app like twitter lol
You love to see it lol.
Obviously kataang fights are rarer than Sozin's comment but most of their fights probably stem from the fact that Aang is an 'ask me about my trauma and I'll give you 6-7 ways to avoid a conversation topic' type of ptsd-haver and Katara is an 'if you don't ask me why I'm sad today I WILL have a mental breakdown and/or encase you in ice' type of ptsd-haver
something that has always confused me is when people act like or say that “Kataang is only enjoyable to white men” lol I’m a black man myself and I’ve always loved it and enjoyed it. Not only that but I see plenty of women who enjoy it and at the SAME TIME, white men who hate it???? Have yall seen the comments under sarcastic choruses video on the ship? Go look through if you wanna see how many white dudes hate the ship. I see white dudes all the time talk about how annoying Aang is and how him and Katara didn’t fit because “in the real world she would have chosen Zuko” (which is hilarious in its own 😭). Sorry if I got a bit off track but this discourse is just so unserious, the shit people come up with and IT ISNT JUST ZK SHIPPERS some of yall Kataang shippers be taking it way to far as well (there’s no denying that most of the time though it’s due to their atrocious takes-so I feel some of yall). Regardless though…saying that Kataang only appeals to white men and “pick me’s” is ridiculous. You can’t cry about people not letting you ship what you want and then say stuff like that.
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #329 )✅️
Amidst the rubble and under a sky raining fire, we try to cling to life, but death surrounds us from every direction. No sound is louder than the sound of destruction, and no light is seen except the flames. We run in search of shelter, but we find only fear accompanying us, and hunger gnaws at our hearts before our bodies. Hope has become a deception, salvation a mirage, and every attempt at escape ends in a new cycle of pain.
We are here amidst the ruins of our dreams, carrying pain greater than our lives. What fate awaits me and my family? Will we ever be martyrs, or will we grow? The tree of freedom rings church bells and the takbir is raised in the mosques with the joy of the tree of freedom that has grown over the bodies of martyrs: children, women, and the elderly. Where is humanity, O people of all sects and religions? We await your cry to stop the killing and bloodshed. My family needs your support, and every person in Gaza needs your continued support.Please help me by donating or participating. We are now under bombardment and hunger.Please don't let us die alone here. Donate, share
A horrific night now in Gaza... Bombings tear through the sky, and the rubble swallows souls. The screams of children mingle with the drones, and shelters are closing in on those fleeing death. A city bleeds under the rubble, and the world watches silently.
"Please do not silence our voices and help us as much as you can."
