Are supposed to believe that Kat@@ng has been built for 3 seasons?

Sure, if we choose to ignore Katara altogether (which seems to be a theme ~ cof, cof ~) then I could argue that it has been set up, but a ship isn't just about one half of it, it has to be about the two.

For 2 halfs of the animation, we see that Aang is developing a crush on her which is fine because he's a child and it's hard not to develop feelings for someone when you spend 24 hours with said person.

But the thing is, what about Katara? Yes, we see her get "jealous" and "upset" over Aang in a few instances, but that shouldn't be enough for us to automatically assume she should spend the rest of her life with him.

Katara herself was confused for most of season 3 and prior to that barely seemed to acknowledge Aang at all or to feel anything for him other than platonic love. When he kisses her without her consent, she tells again that she was confused and gets angry at how her boundaries were crossed (rightfully so).

But then right in the end all of her confusion just magically goes away so she can act as a prize for Aang. All her inner turmoil, all her thoughts about whether or not she feels like that about him go to hell and she barely has time to process anything and it's expected to be at his side.

Her confused feelings don't matter (notice I'm not automatically saying she didn't have any, just that she didn't have time to acknowledge whether or not she was confused and if what she felt was truly romantic in nature), she was just expected to be with him because he was the hero.

And suddenly all of Katara's growth and character arc became non important, she was a mere afterthought just so a guy could get the girl

I’m really sorry to say this…

I know that Clancy is supposed to be like this super attractive guy, but I legitimately cannot help but imagine him as Nevel from iCarly💀

Ruby : I'd actually rather go back to Thurmond on a suicide mission than talk about my "feelings"

Cate, Liam, Chubs, Zu, Vida, Jude, Nico, and literally everyone else: Ya that's part of the problem

Meeting the Parents

(After In the Afterlight)

Even though Ruby has technically met Harry and Grace through phone calls and that one fateful night at Thurmand, she is still unbelievably stressed to actually meet them

Maybe it's because she's scared they will blame her for the death of Cole or maybe just because it is their sons girlfriend and they have a right to be protective over him

Even after her and Liams phone call last night when he promised that they already love her and they barely have even met her

When she gets to the hotel where the conference is being held, she is constant on look out watching for either Liam or his parents

Baby time skip- After they get back from their last joy ride- the parents/guardians found each other (they've been in contact the last few days) to search for the kids because everyone is worried about the kids new found fame- especially Ruby

The parents meet right outside where Liam parks his parents car and each of the parent/guardian has a different facial expression on

Liam's parents: excitement mixed with stress mixed with grief

Ruby's parents: PURE stress and fear because Ruby forgot to tell them where she was going

Cate: motherly disappointment in the group but so so so proud of how far they came

Chub's parents: bliss that chubs finally did something minorly idiotic

And of course as she is getting out of the car, Ruby trips on her cast and she is mortified that she just fell on her ass infront of all the parents and now can't get up.

she just sits there.

she then realizes she should definitely get up and so she tries but its no use and just as all of the parents are about to say something, here comes her night in shining armor to lift her up and kiss her on her cheek. IN FRONT OF THEIR PARENTS

She is actually mortified and so embarrassed until, "I think you could walk better without the cast on and half dying," and Harry chuckled, "you really do do better under pressure, Cole was right"

Just that caused Ruby to be 10x better about everything

A question that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while is: did Clancy Gray love Nico?

I’ve been debating this internally because literally no one in my life wants to read or have in depth discussions about TDM, so I have to have them with myself.

Post-East River we’re of the understanding that Clancy Gray is an evil little weasel(he is) that cares for no one but himself. Of course throughout In The Afterlight we’re given a different perspective, he might be a piece of shit and he might be selfish but he does think about other people and what would be right for them(even if his methods are corrupt). Until the end of ITAL I didn’t think there was anything that Clancy truly loved other than power. I never thought that he felt any genuine romantic feelings towards Ruby. I think he liked her, but more importantly I think he liked her power. And he never held anyone else close enough to care about them.

But then there’s Nico… We know that Nico was in love with Clancy, that’s not a debate. He literally tells Ruby in ITAL. But does Clancy love Nico? Nico has been there for Clancy since they had been roommates and were experimented on together at Thurmond. In ITAL through Clancy’s memories we see Nico caring for him in a way that Ruby describes as loving/yearningly. Nico is willing to do practically anything Clancy. And during their time together at Thurmond, Clancy is extremely protective over Nico. It’s interesting that Clancy would choose to care for someone when he expressly believes that colors other than orange are less than. And Nico is green, the bottom of the food chain, I’m sure in Clancy’s opinion. And if we know one thing about Clancy Gray, it’s that he craves power and control. But Nico doesn’t have power and Clancy doesn’t want to control him, so why would Clancy keep him around?

Obligation? Kindness? Love? Towards the end of ITAL when it’s revealed that Clancy has been controlling Ruby in her sleep and having her send messages to PSFs to inform them of their location, we see a conversation play out between Clancy and Nico. Nico had been deeply hurt by Clancy’s second betrayal and is expressing his anger towards Clancy. Nico is begging him to call off whoever is coming and Clancy seems to almost give in. This of course is surprising to both readers and Ruby as Clancy seems to always be putting on a facade. Of course we know how it ends but it’s the fact that Clancy almost gave in to Nico’s pleads that is interesting to me.

To answer my own question: did Clancy Gray love Nico? Yes. Did he love Nico romantically? That could be debated. I think that Clancy loved Nico, but I also think that Clancy never knew how to love the way that Nico might have wanted. In another universe they might have been happy.

People who read the TDM books - did you hate the movie adaptation? I watched the movie first and liked it, then I went to check out the books and loved them.. I know if I read the books first I would have hated the movie (that’s how it always goes for me), so wondering your opinions!
