i know that a lot of people take issue with the fact that pakku only agrees to teach katara because he realizes that she’s the granddaughter of the woman he tried to get with a bajillion years ago, but i actually see that moment of him realizing that kanna left to escape their marriage as a moment of self-reflection from him. like, imagine having to contend with the fact that your rancid vibes drove the love of your life away after having just publicly humiliated her fourteen year old granddaughter who was begat on the literal other side of the earth because how that’s far she went to escape him. sokka gets the moment of realizing “oh, men and woman are ontologically equal in their capacities, and divisions between genders are socially assigned and arbitrary,” but that isn’t really pakku’s deal at all. pakku’s deal is more like, “oh, my unyielding insistence on adhering to and imposing unjust patriarchal traditions actually makes me deeply unpleasant to be around and drives my loved ones away. maybe I should take a fucking chill pill perhaps.”

like, the fact that katara ultimately loses the fight and nothing she actually says or does persuades him is interesting, because it means that his reflection is internal, his moment of revelation not brought about by didactic moralizing, but through taking a long, hard look in the mirror, and realizing that being kind is more important than being right. and that’s why he seems to make an effort to be friendlier and more helpful, more so than making any effort to become a male feminist and fight for women’s rights. sokka, for example, initially has a narrow view of gender because his worldview is limited and then it expands, but pakku, by contrast, is literally a member of the white lotus; he is old and worldly, so he clearly already understands that their tribe’s traditions are not ontologically necessitated, but he nonetheless supports them because they benefit him. it is only when he learns that the love of his love literally escaped their tribe and left behind everything she ever knew just to avoid him that he decides to reevaluate his staunch insistence on clinging to his patriarchal values. and who wouldn’t. i mean, that’s gotta fucking hurt!

i know that katara’s fight against him does feel like a grand feminist moment as she fights for her ideals and her rights as a girl, and to her (and to us as the audience) it certainly does feel that way, but to pakku, his change of heart is one of realizing that he should probably stop being an asshole to every woman he’s ever met while he still has a few good years left. a core motif of katara’s arc is that she cannot actually preach her ideals and simply enlighten every asshole she meets, as much as she’d certainly like to; enlightenment comes from within. and so it is pakku’s regrets that motivate him to be kinder, because it’s never too late to change for the better. and that’s kind of beautiful actually.

Zutara Week 2022 Day 1: Tradition

Zuko takes SWT tradition too seriously...

...until someone had been pranking him. Telling him that "people from the other nation who wishes to court a water tribe girl must kiss a fish before offering it to a penguin seal, to symbolize his/her love".

It was Gran Gran 🤫

Now I made the South Water Tribe family tree too! Not much headcanons for this, except that I guess it's implied that Kanna did love Pakku in some form even though she ran away in order to fight for her rights and voice, because she took the betrothal necklace with her and later passed it on. I suppose she would have thrown it away if she hated or didn't care for Pakku. Only 60 years later when he changed and improved as a person did they reunite.

#atla #Katara #Sokka #Hakoda #Kya #Kanna #Pakku #avatar the last airbender #tbh it's the only way the show can justify Pakku and Kanna getting married as soon as he went to SWT #without making it that she was forced... that would be bs

Number one beauty for my artist's ask (31. Beautiful women) - Kya (the First) of the Southern Water Tribe

Sokka takes after her a lot, so I headcanon her as very beautiful and very emotional. I wish we could see more of her in the show.

Also nose piercing was common among women in some circumpolar cultures, so it's another headcanon of mine.

If you feel like it you can support me on Ko-fi. And your feedback will make the artist really happy!

For all the potential spin off shows we could have for AtLA, one thought I actually kinda want to see is about Kanna.

She left the North to go live in the South, during a war.

And I have so many questions as she had to travel across the world. During a war.

Did she travel alone? Or was it that the North and South were making trade at the time and she hopped on? Even if she joined warriors or merchants, there is a war going on. There'd be Fire Nation ships and pirates and what adventure did she go on? Is she a badass non bender that Hakoda and Sokka inherited? Or was she surviving by the skin of her teeth and had to rely on her wit?

Did she have to travel through the Earth Kingdom?

If "all old people know each other", who did she meet? Did she ever join the White Lotus too?

I just really wonder what was her adventure traveling from the Northern Water Tribe to the Southern Water Tribe. Cause it couldn't have been all smooth sailing the whole way.

Also possibly getting to see Hakoda's father. Like, presumably she got with a man from the Southern Water Tribe, but there's so little mentioned of him, which is kinda odd as SWT is typically more close knit community. Was he just not in his family's life that much? Was Hakoda's father someone from the Earth Kingdom, who wanted to fight in the war and that's why he didn't go with her? Or did Kanna have some spicy romance with a pirate who ultimately didn't want to settle in the SWT or had to keep moving as the FN and EK were after him?

She's a very minor character in the grand scheme of it all, but she has such an interesting background set up, I want to know what did she come across as she traveled across the world to be with the SWT. If AtLA got spin off shows covering iconic characters, she is one I want to see what her adventure was like.

“the desert” is katara’s most quietly admirable episode; she manages to guide and protect the rest of the gaang while they are in precarious states under unimaginable pressure and with very few resources. katara’s tireless endurance this episode culminates in her bravery as she risks her own safety to comfort aang in the avatar state.

for an audience upon first viewing, her ability to thrive under pressure here may seem like a surprising departure from the impulsive, reactive, sensitive girl we’ve been accustomed to over the past 1.5 seasons. but sokka’s admission in “the runaway” reframes katara’s behavior in this episode.

we know that while the rest of her family was a mess, katara stepped up and gave them hope. she refused to sink into her grief—to abandon the site of her trauma like hakoda did, to give up like kanna did, or to repress and depersonalize like sokka did. she may have a temper and she may not always think things through, but she is able to communicate her emotions and refuses to cut herself off from feeling and processing her grief and rage, which is more than can be said for her brother.

and upon learning this piece of her history, you realize that her indefatigable, relentless hope and care that she displays in “the desert” is actually a pattern of behavior for her that is being repeated. when all hope seems lost and everyone in her life has abandoned faith, katara finds purpose and meaning in being the glue that holds everyone together, even when she is as grief-stricken and exhausted as the rest of them.

in moments of abject despair, katara guides her loved ones and herself out of there desert, both literally and metaphorically. and that is why she is the narrator and the catalyst and the hero of this story of a revolution that successfully destabilizes an oppressive paradigm in the eleventh hour, because she represents the power and importance of organized resistance when all hope is lost, of refusing to give into despair, of continuing to believe in love even in the bleakest, most desperate circumstances, and envisioning a brighter future even (especially) when no one else can.

#id in alt text #katara #katara&sokka #aang&katara #kanna&katara #sokka #aang #kanna #analysis #this post was inspired by @oneatlatime's response to the desert #but she can't actually read this post yet bc it contains spoilers!#regardless. katara is so important....... to me....#the scene where aang goes into the avatar state and katara hugs him is borderline unwatchable to me #because it is so heartbreaking & overwhelming #which is also true of most of the southern raiders lol #just. katara's extraordinary depth of feeling!!!!#she is more than a cartoon character she is my best friend. ok #also. 'but now you're not letting yourself feel anything' and the aang & sokka foilism here!!!!!#how in this episode aang nearly falls into a trap that sokka may never truly escape from!!!!#will have to expand on that later too....#every time i think to myself 'maybe i should stop writing these stupid little posts about a cartoon that ended in 2008' i find yet another #thread to tug on. and another and another #i may never escape. alas #there are worse fates
