Zutara Parallels

There are so many hints and foreshadows of Zutara in Avatar like?? How do you miss that? Even 9-year-old me caught it when it was airing. Here are some parallels.

Parallel #1: Alter Egos

The Painted Lady

The Blue Spirit

These are Katara and Zuko’s alter egos–something that they couldn’t be in their daily lives. Even though Katara is caring, she was too busy playing the caretaker for the group, so she rarely had time for herself. Zuko was a banished prince and he obviously couldn’t do those things ordinarily either.

Parallel #2: Lost Mothers

Both lost their mothers to the Fire Nation. Ursa left to protect Zuko [she was banished]. Kya was murdered by a Southern Raider general or commander, while protecting Katara. This is Zuko’s and Katara’s greatest connection.

Parallel #3: Absent Fathers

Ozai banished Zuko from the Fire Nation and left his son exiled. He abused, humiliated, and neglected Zuko. Although Hakoda loved Katara and Sokka, he left them to join the war effort; the siblings were on their own after that. [I’m guessing this is why Katara has abandonment issues].

Parallel #4: Siblings

Katara and Zuko both have striking contrasts with their siblings. Katara and Sokka are close and very supportive; they have looked out for each other after everything that happened with their family. Zuko, however, has an abusive relationship with his younger sister Azula and is constantly manipulated by her.

_______________________________________

These are just a few I’d like to point out. The concept of the Twin Flames is also very interesting and is definitely connected to Zuko and Katara. It is the concept of one entire soul being divided into two and the two individuals are separate souls with similar histories, backgrounds, and even families. (Thank you Aaron Ehasz!)

U know when avatar does that thing where it flashes back to a childhood memory of a character and then focuses on their face and fades back in on them at the same angle but older and changed....... gets me every time

a guide to exploring abandoned farms

essential supplies include: plenty of food and water, a change of socks, a hat, rope, bandaids, a knife, gloves, an acorn in your pocket, and an offering

there are always odd noises on the farm. half of them come from the animals

try to forget what the lake looks like between the hours of three and four AM

never ever find yourself alone in the milking shed in the south end of the farm. time passes differently there

if you happen to hurt yourself in your exploration, make sure you do not bleed onto the dirt

bring plenty of water, you do not want to drink from there

the cows will watch you, this is normal

close every gate you open, even if the fields are empty. don’t ever leave one open behind you, just trust me

beware unstable rocks, the cracks tend to be filled with insect nests

bring a weapon with you, but no guns

if you see someone else while exploring, never tell them your name. you can never be sure if they are real or not, and further out you go, the less real they will seem. the patupaiarehe have evolved in cruel and unusual ways

do not go inside the empty share-milkers cottages, whatever you do, do not go inside. something else lives there now

a tree with the undersides of its leaves showing mean that a storm is coming. a tree with no leaves means the storm has already come

sometimes the hills look like they’re moving. be aware of this, because some things don’t like to be disturbed

do not sleep under the full moon, in fact, just don’t sleep on the farm

finding skulls is normal, only become worried when you start finding ribs

if you find yourself lost in a forest, continue walking in a straight line until you are free again. the trees may make it look as though you are going in circles, but i promise you’re not. ignore the soft music you can hear

your phone won’t work out here

the ghosts from the land wars won’t harm you, but be sure to show them respect

don’t take anything from the farm with you when you leave. just be grateful you have made it out alive
