Post-canon AU Aang and Zuko traveling on official political business

Village elder: We apologize for our meager offering of accommodations, we wish we had more space, or even another bed in our village to accommodate esteemed guests such as yourselves

Aang: *waves hand* Don’t even worry about it, we’ll make do!

#like think about these two #traveling the world together #witnessing the transformation from boy to leader #becoming one anothers fiercest advocates #becoming one anothers closest confidants #watching each other become powerful benders and advocates for justice #crawling into a hole and dying thinking about them falling in love as politicians #it’s killing me slowly with sweetness #that’s it I’ll go now #Zukaang #aged up Zukaang #Zukaang art #avatar the last airbender #zuko #aang #atla #ATLA fanart #my art #my artwork

Every day I think about how and why The Promise writers could have the gang agree so easily to Zuko asking Aang to kill him

#even if it WAS for a fair reason why was aang the only one who was like WTF about it. why were they all so ready to agree to zuko dying. #idk just. no one really having a reaction except aang and then katara nodding at aang to encourage him. bothers me. #regardless of why zuko asks him - he doesn't want to turn into ozai and start a war again - why aren't they more freaked #this is on the writers not on the gaang i promise i love them #atla #avatar #avatar the promise #i'm saying stuff

"I need to redeem myself, I need my honor back" And then cutting to Zuko god atla is such a good fucking show

#atla #specifically zuko being redeemed too #fuck man #aang girliepop the answer is not to go off on your own #the war doesnt end with just the firelord dying #the others gotta go down to

[bambiraptorx]

personally I wouldn't be surprised if Aang developed PTSD at some point in his life and he's just suppressing most/all of his trauma throughout the show

#not only did he lose everyone he ever knew #he lost his entire culture #nobody should have to go through that least of all a twelve-year-old #and that doesn't even count all the trauma he experiences in the show itself #like fusing with a spirit that takes control of his body #or being captured and imprisoned (multiple times) #or losing Appa #or watching his friends almost die time and time again #or actually DYING himself #i have to wonder how much of his positivity is real and how much is him desperately trying to hold himself together y'know? #we saw the mask crack after he lost Appa #what happens when it shatters? #atla #atla aang #childhood trauma #atla theory

*seeing 80 warships coming to destroy a whole nation*: you gotta be kidding me....

#the dialogue..... #he really is 13 but........ #momo saved a child omg i forgor #i forget about him cause he just appears sometimes lmao you can't barely tell he travels with them... he just shows up whenever #I PAUSED AND HE IS CRUSHED BY A ROCK NO FUCKING WAY HE DIED oh nvm he is alive #zuko just appearing into the castle...... it needed more time to breathe that appearance #katara zuko battle inside 😞😞😞 #they wont let him freeze outside???? #they dont show a fish dying but then follow unnamed soldier number 8 as he runs from fire and falls to his death.... #they didnt do a sokka yue and that guy triangle bc they knew the other guy fighting wouldnt be making sokka any favours #'the moon spirit is dead''there must be some way of bringing it back to life!''omg sokka thank you 😘' <- but forreals #the fish is already in rigor mortis #katara with the moon on her back and aang as the water spirit.... banger.... #KATARA YOU NEED TO SCREAM!!! HE DOESNT HEAR YOU!!! #i gotta say the relationships dont really work for me here..... like they have talked alone max two times.... #but like platonic relationships i mean like only iroh and zuko work bc they are continuously alone and there are multiple scenes about #their relationship and how it started #and then for aang katara and sokka you have?????? barely anything that cements their relationships #their most emotional scenes are flashbacks with other people but thats just for character not relationships #too much plot not enough connections i want to say.... and it IS because it's too short.... you can't even tell how katara learnt to bend #HAHN DIED?????? JESUS #iroh calming down zuko by telling him jee is alright ahdhskdj #i dunno.... 🥺 im tired 🥺 #azula slay for the finale hell yeah lmao #final thots i think zukos story is more clear cut than aangs so it was easier to adapt..... steals the show a bit #and idk yeah relationships apart from zuko and iroh and maybe sokka and katara (we need the feminist ally arc for more depth lmao) #aang is just??? there alone. to me at least #was hard to ephatize with what katara was saying about being his family when we haven't seen any of that #talking tag #watching natla

It looked like my Halloween costume wasn't going to arrive in time so I panic bought a second as I cobbled together a third and now I have all three . . .

Logistically, it would be a nightmare, but could I possibly do a reveal from a giant inflatable Shiba to rollerskating Ken to Avatar Aang?!

#text post #Halloween #shiba #ken #aang #barbie #I would be dying in the big Shiba suit but I am so tempted

[comradekatara]

actually i just realized why interpretations of [atla] characters that are like “aang doesn’t lie” (blatantly textually false) or “katara would be offended by swearing” (sensically false) are so common. aang and katara are the most overtly ethical characters in the show, and people [subconsciously] associate morality with honesty and “clean language.” but none of aang’s principles preclude him from lying (he lies. a lot), just as nothing in katara’s moral code dictates that she must be a square (she is, in fact, the furthest thing from a square, and if you argue otherwise you are simply misremembering her character). i can understand why people think that an ethically principled person would consider honesty a virtue, even if aang clearly doesn’t, but the association between morality and language feels like a very christian (to broadly generalize) conception of “sin” and moral transgression that doesn’t map onto the atla characters whatsoever, and is entirely a projection of the largely american (and otherwise western) viewership. inversely, fanart that depicts “modern au” azula as some kind of goth abg with dyed hair and leather pants also attempts to map our internalized notions of how aesthetics are illustrative of morality onto a character who would clearly never present herself in any way countercultural. if azula were suddenly transported to montclair, new jersey, she would be a conservative and present herself accordingly (most likely scenario she would dress like shiv roy). i’m not saying all this to condemn the activity of projecting onto characters, as i clearly participate and engage in these fandom-cultural practices, but rather that i think it’s important we be mindful of what connotations are carried in certain interpretations and depictions, because even our subconscious associations can stem from a legacy of cultural contexts, often embedded within harmful institutions we may not consciously wish to associate with, or that are simply not useful or relevant associations when thinking through whatever thing we are in the process of fandomitizing.

#is fandomitizing a term. if not i just coined it #analysis #katara #aang #azula #cite the primary source read the text format your citations in mla or chicago #etc etc

thinkinh about my kasper centered au again (normal)

#goosey rambles #fucking dying help ne #want to draw my au kasper more... won't post any drawings of him but yknow. for myself #aang nbdhs diws

[zukoshotleafjuice]

and if i say that aang and katara's romance overshadowed aang and katara's relationship, would that make any sense to anyone other than me?

people are so used to viewing this show solely through a shipping lens (a flaw that is almost entirely the fault of the creators) that it hardly leaves space for examining the frankly incredible katara-aang interpersonal dynamic. like, for katara, aang is almost akin to a god. especially in the beginning, for her he symbolizes hope and love and admiration and he is almost larger-than-life. a child and a god. she will protect him and rely on him because through him suddenly, suddenly there's a chance that maybe her mother's sacrifice wasn't for nothing. maybe if she can help aang, love aang, then kya dying was worth it. and for aang, too, katara is his whole world. sokka too, of course, but katara's are the first eyes he saw when he woke up a hundred years after everyone he loved had vanished. it's her that keeps him grounded when he's overwhelmed with grief that he doesn't even know how to begin to process, because it's almost impossible for a child's mind to comprehend the scale of loss he's experienced. he loses his family, and she becomes his whole world. yes, he is saving the world for the sake of the world, but really he's saving the world for katara.

idk. upon rewatch, it's almost like love isn't really enough to capture what these two have going on. it's sheer devotion. it's a strange amalgamation of worship and adoration and mutual deification. it's fucking fascinating and regardless of whether you ship them romantically personally i don't, really , the relationship is so so profound. the depth of their love for each other is really on another level.

romance is secondary to what katara and aang have. they're each other's person first.

#no matter WHAT you ship katara and aang are each other's person! they adore each other! #atla #avatar the last airbender #kataang #ish? #katara #aang

[aangarchy]

Incredibly specific moments in atla i think about ALL the time (i am Not normal)

Zuko's eyes slightly widening when witnessing Katara's bloodbending for the first time

Aang and Katara just missing each other looking back at the other after their argument in The Warriors of Kyoshi

Toph holding onto Sokka's arm once on Appa when he didn't have a saddle and once on the boat bringing them to the lake town

The moon being in full view as Suki tries to kiss Sokka in the Serpent's Pass, and the shadow returning as Sokka leaves

The "four seasons for love" motif coming back throughout the episodes of the Northern Watertribe and specifically as Sokka gives himself up to serve in the battle against Zhao's seige and Yue turns away and quietly cries as she watches him walk off

Longshot talking for the first time ever as Jet lay dying

In that same breath, the way Toph says "he's lying" as they walk away from Jet knowing that he's going to die

Aang looking back at the Southern Airtemple ruins along with Momo as they fly away from it, seeing it disappear behind the clouds (this one specifically makes me cry so much)

The chants as Aang gets summoned by the Lion Turtle in book 3 being the SAME as the chants when Aang fuses with the ocean spirit in book 1 (there's other moments with these chants i think but i can't remember them off the top of my head)

Aang taking down Ozai's airship in the finale as his first attack and Sokka cheering him on like a proud older brother

Katara immediately without a shadow of a doubt responding "Aang won't lose" when Zuko questions if he'll be able to take on Ozai

Aang knowing Zuko was gonna fire at him in the crystal catacombs as soon as Zuko laid eyes on him (he gasped before Zuko even made a move) when even Azula wasn't sure what Zuko was gonna do in that scenario

#idk if 4 seazons for love is the correct name of the song #but it's the one iroh sings on music night before zhao interrupts #avatar the last airbender #atla #avatar #aang #avatar aang #zuko #sokka #katara #suki #toph #toph beifong #prince zuko #firelord ozai #azula #princess azula #princess yue

[halochoker]

Alastor going crazy for almost dying for his friends has the same energy as Zuko’s body physically turning on him after helping Aang.

Their systems just CANNOT process being nice on accident
