#as if i hadn't thrown canon out and stuck to my fanon years ago lmfao

Katara loves Aang. Zuko loves Mai. What’s canon is canon. There’s nothing you or anyone can do about it. Move on with your life.

It’s also canon that Aang was ready and willing and about to murder Zuko at the drop of a hat in the comics. It’s also canon that Katara was a sad and lonely old lady who accomplished literally nothing as an adult (and didn’t have a single statue to show for it), to the point where she didn’t lift a finger when her entire family was in danger to try to save them. It’s also canon that Aang and Toph were terrible parents who left their older children with psychological scars that persisted well into middle and old age.

Who cares about canon? Since when has something needed to be canon to be worthwhile? Since when has canon mattered--particularly when it’s poorly written and makes no sense (both major romance arcs in AtLA, for example)?

Frankly, I don’t think I’m the one that needs to move on with my life. I’m perfectly happy in my zutara bubble with the amazing fanworks we consistently produce, the great meta and analysis, and the wonderful community we’ve formed. I certainly don’t feel the need to go into, like, Kataang or Maiko shippers’ inboxes to tell them how wrong they are for stanning couples that I find to be terribly written and lackluster.

Maybe you should accept that some people don’t vibe with canon and prefer to stick to their fanon corners and move on with your life, huh?
