Original Concept art for Spongeboy Ahoy!

[mlgneverdies]

I'm halfway through developing my next set which is SpongeBob, so have this set of alts I came up with for the yellow guy:

Absorbent and Yellow and Porous

Help Wanted (his Krusty Krab uniform)

I'm a Goofy Goober (his Goofy Goober hat, clothes based on Patrick)

Nautical Neighbor (he wears two hats like in Squid's Day Off, clothes based on Squidward)

Dirty Dan (his cowboy hat from Survival of the Idiots, clothes based on Sandy in her space suit)

Number One Fry Cook (Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen's soda-drinking hat, clothes based on Mr. Krabs)

Arrrgh! (his pirate hat from the episode of the same name plus an eyepatch, clothes based on Patchy the Pirate)

Battle for Binary Bottom (the army helmet from the cover of Battle for Bikini Bottom, clothes and eye color based on SpongeBot from Welcome to Binary Bottom)

SpongeBoy-Me-Bob (based on the SpongeBoy Ahoy concept art)

Another Lovely Day (based on SpongeBob LovelyPants, a SpongeBob variant exclusive to Japanese merch)

Glob of Doom (based on SpongeGlob from Nicktoons Globs of Doom)

Fresh Sponge (based on Callie from Splatoon who led Team SpongeBob in the SpongeBob Splatfest)

Look what showed up in my FB Memories: one of my earlier attempts at subtly coming out as nonbinary on my main social media in the most roundabout way possible!

I was blessed with copious amounts of peach fuzz, and this was the result of half an hour in front of the mirror with a mascara wand. I’ve always wanted a goatee, and seeing myself like this felt so good.

Today, I looked in the mirror when I got home from work and saw the beginnings of a darkening mustache and the first sprouting of chin hair. What I thought was unattainable when I took this picture is slowly becoming my reality.

Phew. That feels indescribable.

Bryke comparing Aang and Katara’s relationship to a younger brother/babysitter isn’t the “gotcha” ZKs think it is.

So Bryke the nickname of the A:TLA creators once talked about teen romance tropes, to paraphrase “younger boy likes older girl but said girl only sees boy as a younger brother or as themself as their babysitter”. This was coupled with an image of Aang and Katara. There was also an article saying that dynamic is Aang and Katara’s. ZKs seem to think this is a “gotcha”, that Katara canonically thinks of Aang as her younger brother whom she babysits.

HOWEVER!

This was specifically taken from A:TLA’s original pitch bible, which contains INTIAL ideas for a show, its characters and world. Many things in pitch bibles don’t make it into the final show, for example in the original pitch bible for SpongeBob SquarePants (originally SpongeBoy Ahoy!) Sandy Cheeks the squirrel was described as the apple of SpongeBoy’s eye and was suppose to be SpongeBoy’s love interest, but in the actual show the romance was dropped, there was some occasional ship-tease (especially in Sandy’s first two episodes), and tons of people ship the two, but SpongeBob and Sandy’s relationship is platonic.

With Aang and Katara, while Bryke may have originally intended for their relationship to be unrequited with Katara viewing Aang as a lil bro to babysit, this isn’t present at all in the show itself.

I’m gonna make a bold statement and say that Katara objectively DID have feelings for Aang. Even if they weren’t super obvious and spelled out like Aang’s feelings. The Cave of Two Lovers and The Headband are the most obvious examples but there are also other notable more subtler examples, for example, Katara is very physically affectionate towards Aang, something she doesn’t really display with anyone else. 

She has a lot of respect for Aang, she choses Aang over her tribe despite knowing him for one day, she defends him from that old fisherman, suggest he be the leader of the group, asks for his opinion on how she looks, she dismisses Sokka’s idea with finding the Earth King but quickly changes her tune when Aang suggests the same thing, she gets all embarrassed and flustered when Aang comments about her hair. Point being she clearly views Aang as an equal and her peer, not someone she begrudgingly has to babysit.

She herself even straight up says she loves Aang “for the people who love you, watching you be in that much rage and pain is really scary”. And she dismisses the notion that she views Aang as a brother in The Ember Island Players. If anything, actress Katara saying Aang is like a little brother was probably just a mythology gag based on the original pitch like Toph being a dude.

So, all-in-all, the babysitter Kataang comments really don’t mean anything, because they’re about an initial idea that was clearly scrapped in the show itself. Even if it is what inspired Kataang, who cares Aaron Ehasz agreed with a comment comparing Zuko and Katara to siblings and that she was foil to Azula (something I agree with). Bryke even made a joke saying “people who ship Zutara will have doomed relationships”. Given some of the weird takes from these people, I almost feel inclined to agree.
