((🚫do not repost🚫))

[rifari2037]

Zuko : She's not my girlfriend!

Katara : I'm not his girlfriend!

Toph : Actually, they're my parents and we are looking for their son right now!

the way they were holding hands all day with their daughter toph between them and then had the audacity to act like they weren't dating

She will (and he'll let her)

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But it was Katara that he chose to invite.

But Azula knew to aim at Katara.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But the scene was romamtically coded.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But Katara needed to get to heal him.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But it was Katara who was with him in season finales.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But he needed to choose Katara over Azula.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But Shu needed to survive in this life.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But the writers deliberately chose Katara.

zuko and katara’s narrative symmetry drives me insane every time i think about it, actually. you rise with the moon, i rise with the sun; her power waning as his grows, and vice versa. zuko becoming disillusioned with the fire nation as katara learns the truth about the evil that exists within the other nations. how they both orbit around the avatar, the emblem of all their hopes; katara pulling aang forward to his destiny while zuko pursues on the other end, driving him onwards. the way their parallel lines intersect at the end of every season before diverging once more, each one only able to rise when the other falls. circling one another, so close yet so far, until they finally come together in the agni kai, two halves becoming whole at the crux of their individual arcs and their journey together — balance forged in sacrifice, an eternal push and pull finally brought to stillness. and all of this beautifully personifying the show’s most fundamental themes in the process. how the fuck were they not canon.

That time he survived getting struck by lightning and they can finally be happy

I'm excited to post this commission by @ oakyvii of a future scene in my Azula redemption / Azulaang fanfic. It's are moment of Zuko and Azula getting along as they wander the palace grounds.

if you're interested please check out my fic here on AO3.

Fanon: Katara does all the chores

Katara and the actual canon:

Fanon: 4566545 posts about motherly Katara aka her whole personality it seems

Katara and the actual canon:

(mind you, she acts motherly due to her TRAUMA. She's a child, not the gaangs' mother)

Fanon: Katara see Aang as a brother

Katara and the actual canon:

Fanon: Katara doesn't have feelings for Aang, she was forced to have a relationship with him

Katara and the actual canon:

Fanon: Bloodbending Katara!! ❤ ❤

Katara and the actual canon:

Fanon: Katara doesn't want a family/children/grandchildren

Katara and the actual canon:

Fanon: Katara was reduced to Aang's wife

Katara and the actual canon:

(the most boring headcanon. Yes, Katara's writing in tlok was bad, it has a LOT of flaws and many times she was forgotten (like the rest of the gaang, i have a lot to say about Sokka, Suki, Toph and yes even Aang) but when and how she was reduced to "Aang's wife"? She was never treated as the "avatar's wife" and they didn't have a single scene together in that series. Stop imagining things 🤦‍♂️)

Fanon: Katara hates to be an healer/she has no agency/her desire for vengeance in The Southern Raiders is 'letting her be who she really is'/blah blah blah

Katara and the actual canon:

Just watch properly this fucking show, i'm not gonna bother anymore

[longing-for-rain]

Look I know people love to act like Zuko is the most dangerous, toxic, and temperamental character… but there is exactly one (1) male character Katara was canonically responsible for calming down from violent, destructive tantrums at risk to herself and it wasn’t Zuko… 🐸☕️

Letters to Home

Read on AO3

"Live," she pleads. "I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for this war—for me. I just need you to come back. Please...please come back to me." . Zuko writes the letters whenever he can. During a break from a council meeting, late at night in his chambers, after another training session with Azula—all he does is write to her. Because he needs to let her know that he's alright and their plan is working. She needs to know that he'll come back.

Zuko x Katara

they are everything to me they are canon to me

[starlight-bread-blog]

This Right Here is What Kills Me

1# it's a romance trope. Quite literally.

Here, have another example, on the house.

2# It's also established that Zuko and Katara respond like this when the accusation is founded

With Jet...

And with Jin...

Then with each other. I'm sorry. What the actual fuck.

3# Katara canonically responds calmly when an accusation is not founded

I think we all have a similar question for the writers of A:TLA:
