Hi! For the (relation)ship bingo, how about kataang? Also kanera because I know you love them

I'm realizing I don't think I reblog a whole lot of shippy things here 😅

I mean I have very few ships that I'm crazy about BUT Kanera is one of them

But you asked for Kataang first so‐!

I know you didn’t ask for an explanation BUT I really like Kataang. I think they grow together really well. Aang matures a lot in being friends with Katara, and Katara is reminded that she’s allowed to take time to be a kid. I think their childhood trauma compliments each other well. Aang doesn’t want the responsibility of being the Avatar, Katara has responsibility thrust on her by her village. They’re both the last of their people in some capacity. Katara being the last waterbender in the south pole, Aang the last airbender. Theres a lot of similarities, but they’re very complimentary of one another and I’ve been thinking about them a lot actually because I’ve been seeing some jedi attachment discussions across my dash. Just about every time, my mind comes to these two, specifically Aang’s visual representation of what non-attachment means. I’ve been thinking a lot about Aang recently.... But anyways I love that its a light hearted ship. In a show with so many big and complicated things, they show that love doesn’t need to be complicated. There are times when things get difficult and romance isn’t a cure all, but its the sort of thing that takes time and has to be given freely.

And for Kanera

I don’t talk often about romantic relationships often here okay. I’m demiromantic, but I want to be romanced okay. I want what these two have. Heres the thing theres a lot of romantic pairings in Star Wars. Theres not a single character who hasn’t had at least one romantic interest- and the with the way things pan out in Star Wars thats pretty interesting to me- BUT If here was one couple I think really gets romance like really gets it like REALLY if you look at them you’d know what love is, its Kanan and Hera. I’m just starting the book where they first meet so most of my opinions are based in Rebels- but my goodness. What I love about Hera and Kanan at least the first time I watched Rebels, is that it was two adults, very in love, and i was shown to be a mature love without it having to be “mature” in nature. I mean of course, we have Jacen, so we know it was, but none of the characters seemed to shy away from it.  Fuck I don’t think Hera said she loved him on screen until S4, but who know right from the first two seconds on screen interacting that they have history, their love has weight. We see them argue, we see them be happy and continue to grow together and as individuals. Kanan is doing what he can to help her build the rebellion, Hera actually helps him process some of his grief and the difficulties of training Ezra. They’re a team in every sense of the word, they’re equals. Their love is so light, but carries so much weight- its heartbreaking. In my opinion they are the most functional and well balanced Star Wars couple.
