I firmly believe that the Desert is one of Katara's strongest episodes as a character. But not because it portrays the rest of the Gaang as "worse" than her, eg how people will talk about her having to babysit "a blind girl, her high brother and Aang who is throwing a tantrum" and drag them out of a desert.

No, the Desert is wonderful because it shows us the Katara's unbreakable spirit and her resilient hope.

It gives us a wonderful look into Katara's psyche while she is under incredible duress. This episode is almost purely shown to us from Katara's perspective, and that was an excellent choice. Katara drives this episode.

We often associate hope with a more delicate, etheral feeling. But here, Katara exhibits a determined, powerful version of hope. A hope that spites a world that seems against her. A hope that Katara creates for herself, and for her companions.

Katara : [Grabs her head in annoyance.] Ugh ... We're getting out of this desert, and we're going to do it together! Aang, get up. Everybody, hold hands. We can do this. We have to.

We see Katara's focus on community, as she prioritises keeping the group together. Katara's more collectivist mindset keeps her focused on what matters to her: the group. Especially when the rest of the Gaang lose hope due to how dire their situation is.

Aang: What's anyone else doing?! [Pointing his staff at Katara.] What are you doing‌?! Katara : Trying to keep everyone together. Let's just get moving. We need to head this direction.

This episode doesn't exactly seek to frame Katara as more competent as the rest of the Gaang. It does something much more important. It shows us how deep her hope goes, how powerful her determination is, how strong her drive is. And that's why I adore it

Katara's character is strong enough to shine without putting down other characters, guys. It only draws our attention away from her strengths to the percieved flaws of the other characters.

some The Clockmaster character iterations! I've been doodling rough character pages as a reference for myself :)

The the real reason we never got a Zuko and Toph field trip is because they knew without a doubt these two would commit a crime so big Nickelodeon wouldn’t be able to pretend murder didn’t happen.

The brain Rot is real, I made a relationship chart to show off Atlas's relationship with the rest of Cognito Inc.

I actually copied the little chibi designs from The Gang jacket from Season 1, and ended up trying to mimic the style to the best of my ability for Rand, JR, and Ron. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I've also added a blank one under the read more for any other Inside Job Self Shippers who wants to use this, or show off their own relationships with the gang. Please tag me if you use this I wanna see!!!

the birth charts of avatar, the last airbender: 🌀

since i was rewatching ATLA, i decided to do a little thread on the main characters and what i think their natal placements are !!

AANG:

gemini sun: aang is intelligent, curious, observant, and values the humors of life. he’s also shown to have a strong bond with his mentor, monk gyatso (as gemini is the sign of instruction)

libra moon: he is a highly diplomatic person and he likes to confer with others before making important decisions. he likes to rely on the advice of others and later in the saga, becomes one of the first councilmen of republic city

cancer mercury: aang is big on meditation and regularly encourages people to meditate so they can make more gentle, unaggressive choices. he’s also very fond of animals, as he is vegetarian and has two pets of his own

leo venus: aang has a very childlike, playful personality in both installments of the saga and he often emphasizes the importance of having fun

libra mars: pacifism and non-violence are the most important principles that aang sticks to over the entire series. as libra represents the scales, he works hard to maintain the balance of the world

KATARA:

pisces sun: sympathetic, imaginative, and talented at healing; she embodies the piscean archetype with her compassionate and forgiving nature. at the time of her mother’s death, she’s the only person in the southern water tribe to have the ability to waterbend (pisces governs isolation)

virgo moon: she takes on the role of a mentor at a young age while she, herself, is in the process of mastering waterbending. katara is also known in the group to be a bit critical and maternal

aquarius mercury: katara strongly values friendship and cooperation; she expresses several times that having the team function smoothly is important to her. she becomes quickly gifted at waterbending in the show too

aries venus: several scenes depict her interest in fashion and getting dressed up for different events. she also has a way of smoothing over conflict easily because of her desire to work with others

cancer mars: despite her tendency to take things personally, she will always go out of her way to help those in need, even when it inconveniences her. she is relentlessly protective of her family and the people she loves

SOKKA:

cancer sun: sokka cares a lot about what his father thinks of him and the impact he has on the southern water tribe as a whole. being able to remain strong and support his loved ones is a big priority for him

sagittarius moon: sokka is direct, confident, unafraid to be argumentative, and consistently leads team avatar in their journeys throughout the show

gemini mercury: he’s talkative, sarcastic, quick-witted, and has constant one-liners in the show; describing himself as “a guy who likes comedy.” he also has a special skill for handheld weapons (like his boomerang)

leo venus: he’s quite musical throughout the series; singing often and playing several instruments. he’s also depicted to be somewhat of a glutton and a romantic

capricorn mars: sokka is incredibly resourceful and preparative (as seen by his schedule in the painted lady episode). later in the show, he also masters swordfighting and his prized weapon is made of a meteorite he forged himself

TOPH:

pisces sun: she has a talent for deceiving people; she has a whole alternate life where she’s famous for her championship in earthbending matches. aang first sees her in a dream too, approaching her because of her ability to listen well

capricorn moon: her family is prominent and wealthy, but very controlling. she also talks with sokka about her need to come off as resilient, unemotional, and unreliant of others

aries mercury: toph is a talented, quick-tempered martial artist and often enjoys insulting people while fighting them — she entertains herself with combat. she also has a very aggressive style of teaching (as seen when training aang and korra)

capricorn venus: toph uses her family’s status to assist others and she repeatedly expresses her distaste for being hugged over the saga. despite her wealth, she shows her love for the simple life by sleeping on the ground in an earth tent, packing light, living in a swamp, etc.

aquarius mars: her mars is ruled by saturn, the planet of metal and blindness. she literally invents a new form of bending (metalbending) because she uses earth to see and navigate the world — her discovery and everlasting impact on the world is certainly aquarian

ZUKO:

aries sun: zuko is a remarkably determined person and he can be pretty hot-headed at the beginning of the show. not to mention the scar that covers his eye and part of his face

scorpio moon: he’s shown to have an extremely difficult relationship with his other family members and he’s quite private about what goes on internally. he also goes from wanting to capture aang to becoming his best friend (scorpio is the sign of extremes)

pisces mercury: across the series, the wisdom and patience he gains improve his tactical skills. he also has somewhat of a ‘speak when spoken to’ personality and plans his conversations out

pisces venus: even though he has a frigid exterior, zuko can be a very apologetic and understanding person. later in the show, you can see how his values shift towards peace, kindness, and harmony

gemini mars: the primary conflict that begins his character arc is his banishment for talking back to his father — he tends to shoot himself in the foot because of his impatience and what he says to people

AZULA:

virgo sun: azula is ferociously perfectionistic and needs everything to go her way — she can’t stand weakness or inefficiency and hates when her plans are interrupted

capricorn moon: being the princess of the fire nation, she enjoys power, control, order, and being a symbol of excellence. despite her hardworking attitude and desire to please her parents, she still feels disconnected from them emotionally

leo mercury: azula constantly shows an ambition to outdo her brother. being better than zuko is very important to her in the series and it clearly satisfies her when she can outperform him

libra venus: several moments in the series suggest that she loves being pampered and really indulges in her royal life of luxury. azula is almost always seen wearing jewelry or royal attire

leo mars: she’s driven by achievement and loves an opportunity to show off her abilities in combat. she has a tendency of putting her friends above her family, reacting mercilessly to anyone who disrespects them

IROH:

taurus sun: iroh is sincere, patient, charming, and humorous in tense situations. he loves providing for others; most notably, becoming a surrogate father for zuko after losing his own son

pisces moon: out of any bender in the series, iroh is particularly tapped into his spiritual power and acts as a spiritual guide for many other characters. redemption and the correction of his own mistakes are very important to him during the show too

gemini mercury: across the series, iroh can be strikingly persuasive, insightful, and commanding. he readily shares his guidance with others when he feels they’re in need of it and he’s also one of the few characters in the saga who mentors multiple avatars (as gemini represents multiples)

taurus venus: not only is he great at making tea, he’s also talented at playing the tsungi horn and pai sho. his love for art and relaxation are very taurean traits of his as well

sagittarius mars: iroh is an exceptionally powerful bender and one of the most respected members of the white lotus. he’s the only character in the saga to destroy the walls of ba sing se multiple times and one of the few who can actually breathe fire

book a reading !!
