EIP missing scene (because we all need a little light-heartedness from that episode)

Zuko: As soon as we defeat the Firelord, I'm sending a very strongly worded cease and desist letter to those idiot writers

Katara: You can't do that, Zuko, that's censorship

Zuko: *mutters something unintelligible*

#I know he technically didn't know he was going to be fire lord at this point but let me have my fun #zuko #katara #zutara #eip #atla #avatar the last airbender #incorrect quotes #atla incorrect quotes #zutara incorrect qoutes

[myimaginationplain]

do you ever think about how Katara's portrayal in the Ember Island Players' stage play is an in-universe, textual example of an oppressor state adultifying & sexualizing a racialized girl as a form of pro-colonization propaganda

and then do you ever think about how a third of the fandom also participates in that completely unironically

#this is in response to someone on twt saying that the EIP's portrayal of the DOBS cave scene was a 'win' for them as a zk shipper #& I know that tweet was a silly jokey joke.....but man #thankfully a lot of people are eloquently calling them out in the quotes of the tweet so I don't really feel the need to take it over here #but still. I try so hard to be neutral about zk & zk shippers because I really don't dislike the ship at its core. #but so many of you just can't help but make that impossible by consistently showing that you don't care about atla's themes at all ugggh #atla #avatar the last airbender #katara #the ember island players

He included that he believed the network deals with "short-term discomfort, long-lasting gain" ahead. Buterin stated that Ethereum deals with "short-term discomfort, long-lasting gain" as it gets ready for the Merge and other significant modifications. Buterin Discusses Ethereum's Future Ethereum remains in a "long and complex shift" stage, according to its developer Vitalik Buterin. Speaking to a jam-packed primary space at the EthCC conference in Paris Thursday, Buterin went over how Ethereum is going through numerous considerable modifications that will eventually enhance the system in the long term.

The Merge describes the network's shift from Proof-of-Stake, which is anticipated to ship at some point around September 19 The Surge describes the addition of 64 fragment chains, which are anticipated to decrease blockage on the primary chain by dispersing traffic. The Verge relate to the addition of stateless customers focused on making the network more decentralized, and the Purge includes getting rid of historic information in a quote to improve the network. In recommendation to the Proof-of-Stake upgrade, otherwise called EIP-3675, Buterin stated that Ethereum would be approximately "55% total" following the Merge. Another significant procedure upgrade Buterin highlighted was EIP-4444, a proposition concentrated on keeping historic information in execution customers. "Because individuals worth scalability, you can't depend on nodes to save whatever," he stated, prior to namechecking The Graph, BitTorrent, and obstruct explorers as prospective sources for saving information in the future.

It altered a lot, however it altered how we think of deals," he stated. Once the numerous modifications are carried out, Buterin stated, Ethereum will possibly have the ability to procedure 100,000 deals per 2nd (instead of the 15 or so it deals with today), while Layer 2 rollups might end up being 3 times more affordable as the network ends up being more scalable. Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain While Buterin spoke at length about the modifications, he included a caution. "There's a great deal of things taking place, however that does not suggest that we need to go by doing this permanently," he stated, keeping in mind that he believed Ethereum would require to "settle" in the future. " The abilities of Ethereum are progressively quickly," he stated. "But the rate of modification is going to need to decrease." Buterin stated that the network would need to enhance for security and predictability and described what he called "the escape speed thesis," arguing that Ethereum of the future might end up being adequately established that it does not need anymore significant overhauls. "It's comparable to Turing Completeness ... if you have a computer system that's effective enough, you can develop practically anything on it." Summarizing Ethereum's future, Buterin stated that he anticipated the network would need to compete with "short-term discomfort, long-lasting gain" as it gets ready for the Merge, the Surge, the Verge, and the Purge. " There is this discomfort that occurs when, however generally future generations will be really happy," he stated.

'Emily in Paris': Lily Collins Proves She Has Way Better Style Than Emily Cooper

Aang as Zuko’s “Found-Sibling”

so i kind of alluded to it on my previous post but if zuko sees his relationship with any of the gaang as a foil to his sibling relationship with azula, it’s aang. 

in the season 1 finale, zuko compares the two directly:

zuko:  I finally have you, but I can't get you home because of this blizzard. There's always something. Not that you would understand. You're like my sister. Everything always came easy to her. She's a Firebending prodigy, and everyone adores her. My father says she was born lucky. He says I was lucky to be born. I don't need luck, though. I don't want it. I've always had to struggle and fight and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am.

here zuko makes a lot of assumptions. he is implying that because aang is a prodigy like azula, everything must come easy for him. we as the audience know this isn’t true (he doesn’t know aang’s background at this point), but it does speak to his insecurities in terms of his sister (foreshadowing to his season 2 interactions with azula.) 

contrast that quote with what zuko says to katara in the season 1 finale:

zuko: you rise with the moon, i rise with the sun.

he sees katara as evenly skilled as himself. a match, but with opposite bending elements. and that’s even reflected in the way that katara wins their match at night, but zuko wins their fight when it’s day time.

zuko (especially in season 1) sees azula as superior to him, someone who he’ll never catch up to in skill because she’s a prodigy. in contrast, he’s seen katara when she first started to bend and made mistakes (barely able to form a water whip, and the time she accidentally froze sokka). zuko has seen and acknowledged her growth throughout the show and he sees her as someone who has also had to struggle and work hard to get to her current bending capacity.

and like @sokkastyles​ already said: 

Aang is the younger prodigy who he resents for being better than him in the beginning, the one who is imbued with power and authority by birth that he lacks, the “lucky” one.

continuing on, i wanna talk about crossroads of destiny. the zk scene again emphasizes how similar zuko sees katara to himself (not azula.)

he is calm, open, and vulnerable throughout these scene with katara. he almost allows himself to forget they’re on opposite sides because of how much they have in common. but once aang comes in:

there’s that same anger and resentment he has towards azula. 

i’ve seen some people refer to the crossroads of destiny as zuko some hidden meaning of choosing between “sisters,” but i disagree. it’s framed as a decision between azula and aang, and for zuko, it’s supposed to be an impossible choice. 

so we see him go after aang with an uncontrolled intensity that is so different from the brief peace he was able to achieve with iroh in ba sing se. and it’s easy to imagine that this is because he’s taking his frustration that he can’t express towards azula, out on aang, as a substitute. 

we see lingering bits of zuko’s resentment towards aang, even after he joins the gaang. it’s unintentional, but from the firebending masters, we can see how he initially still holds onto that insecurity a bit.

when he initially realizes he lost his firebending he tries the forms over and over, while aang is just chilling:

aang: that one felt kinda hot

zuko: don’t patronize me!

aang: sorry sifu hotman

zuko: and stop calling me that!

even though aang was being genuine, it’s easy to imagine that zuko is connecting this moment back to times with azula growing up. especially because we know how much his ability to fire bend is tied up into his self worth. 

he’s given the chance to “prove” himself by teaching someone who he considers superior in skill to himself (aang, just off virtue of being the avatar), and when he fails, that rears up the resentment again. 

but then, their dynamic shifts after zuko admits he doesn’t want to rely on hate and anger anymore. zuko has several moments where he encourages aang (who he was previously resentful towards) because he sees that aang needs it. he’s able to realize that aang isn’t a prodigy in the sense that he thinks he’s superior to anyone else. and he’s also able to see that aang has his own insecurities as well, as they get to know each other more on their trip. he has phrases like: 

zuko: you can do it. i know you can. you’re a strong kid.

aang: [Turning to Zuko.] We could turn back now. We've already learned more about fire than we'd hoped. [Aang shows Zuko his flame and gives a weak smile.]

zuko: No, we're seeing this through to the end.

and aang’s face as a result: 

so in a sense, zuko is able to be needed as a big brother. and to offer support because aang is unsure about himself. 

also this scene reeks of sibling energy:

but anyways, i think aang/zuko’s found-sibling relationship foils azula/zuko’s sibling relationship because even though they start off with resentment for similar reasons, his dynamic with aang changes.

i see people say that the reason they think katara is zuko’s “surrogate sibling” is because she provides him with care and kindness, unlike azula. the same could be said about aang.

whereas azula has made it clear that she doesn’t respect zuko’s bending, aang values and respects zuko for his skills (even when he was struggling at the beginning of the firebending masters.) aang is able to reciprocally affirm zuko as well:

aang: i don’t care what everyone else says about you. you’re pretty smart!

i also find the last few lines after they meet with the dragons to be significant:

zuko: That's why my firebending was so weak before. Because for so many years, hunting you [Turns toward Aang as screen zooms out to show Aang.] was my drive ... it was my purpose. [Aang turns toward Zuko as well.] So when I joined you, I lost sight of my inner fire. But now, I have a new drive. [Cut to Zuko's face as screen zooms in.] I have to help you defeat my father and restore balance to the world.

i’d like to think that part of losing/letting go of his anger/resentment in part was because of the new relationship he was able to build with aang. in a sense, he’s able to repair a “pseudo-sibling” relationship with a found-sibling who willingly accepts him. 

i love that they’re address their confidence issues regarding firebending together. 

and how, when they rushed to show the rest of the gaang after they returned:

aang: [Cut to Aang and Zuko demonstrating the Dancing Dragon to the rest of Team Avatar and friends.] With this technique the dragons showed us, Zuko and I will be unstoppable.

zuko has gained a found-sibling relationship that isn’t about comparing their firebending to each other, but working as a team. it’s so so meaningful that aang says “zuko and i.” the idea of zuko having a sibling relationship where he’s able to share his love of firebending and not feel insecure about it ...🥺. him having a “sibling” who wants to hang out with him and do things together and gushes about it with the confidence that aang had when he said they would be unstoppable. 

oh! not to mention that i’ve seen people say that zuko/katara have a sibling relationship because she teases him in EIP. but like .. that’s such flimsy logic. and also? aang and zuko have their mutual teasing moments especially in the firebending masters, and it’s just adorable. 

anyways, my main point from all this is that ik people love to say zuko/katara fit surrogate siblings (which i hate btw), but it’s mostly said because of katara/azula’s similar age. it doesnt matter that aang is 12, though, because honestly, he fits the “found-sibling” dynamic a lot better because of how zuko used to see aang in relation to azula. it just works better thematically. especially, because like i’ve said, and as so many people in fandom point out: zuko and katara are similar (some people... antis.. would say “too” similar). and when has zuko ever seen azula as being similar to himself? exactly. 

#i'm gonna tag zutara for exposure but it's not zutara lol #found sibling #zuko #aang #atla #showing love to aang and zuko's friendship because i love it so much #and i consider them to be brothers #i wrote this at 4 AM whoops #if there's errors that's why lol #found sibling makes my heart go brrr #sorry that this was long #and no i dont want aang to replace azula btw #but i do think through his relationship with aang he would eventually know how to approach and repair his with azula

“The Headband”: How Performance and a Clash of Dynamics Undermines a Ship.

A lot of people talk about the famous dance scene in “The Headband” as a big, romantic, pivotal moment for KA, but let me tell you why I disagree.

(Not sure why this post is getting tagged as anti-Zutara, as I don’t mention Zuko at all...? Anyway, this content might make Kat*angers Kat*angry.  Proceed with caution):

1) The iconic dance scene was, at its very core, a performance.  

What does this mean, exactly?

Well, this wasn’t an unscripted, unrehearsed private moment between the characters we’ve known since the beginning of the show.  This wasn’t Aang nervously asking Katara to get out of her comfort zone with him for some “alone time” and express their feelings to each other.  This dance was an opportunity to let go of their inhibitions out in the open.  This was “Kuzon Fire” whispering something into an older girl’s ear, them promptly bowing and proceeding to perform some dance moves together.

Based on the formality of these moves, they weren’t decided at the drop of a hat.  They looked like parts of a routine Katara and Aang had been working on previously-unseen occasions (perhaps during Aang’s training?), and it was Aang’s idea to get Katara to have fun and perform with him as “Kuzon Fire” in front of Fire Nation kids in a secret cave.  From Katara’s hesitancy, it’s clear that she isn’t one for impromptu dancing, but Aang persistently encourages fun by whispering in her ear to perform bending moves she already knows (moves she probably taught him).  It’s a routine that puts Katara in her comfort zone, and while she begins to have fun just doing that, the routine turns into an official performance as the crowd begins to admire them as a pair.

We as viewers know this more than just a “dance routine” for Aang.  We as viewers know Aang wants to find any excuse to hold Katara’s hand.  And he does this in the guise of “Kuzon Fire,” because for some reason this disguise and all of this attention he’s getting from the kids gives him the confidence to be that vulnerable in front of his crush.  To have Aang just be his sweet, awkward, lovestruck self to Katara just isn’t enough, but in a healthy relationship, it should be.  

True, this dance was a great reason for Aang to remind Katara to still be a kid (remember the penguin sledding he encouraged in Season 1, ep 1? This is a total step up!).  It reminded us that the characters we know and love know how to have fun together and can play off of each other in any given situation.

True, it showed how sweet KA looked to a crowd, and to us as viewers.  To even quote Sokka from earlier in the episode, the dance showed how “they look pretty good together.”

The problem here was that this dance didn’t address Katara and Aang’s actual dynamic... how they truly act towards each other when the “curtain falls”, when all eyes turn away, when their rehearsed routine is over and there’s no adrenaline rush to haze their actual selves.

Because it’s a performance, “The Headband” episode encourages a completely different kind of one-on-one interaction from what we’ve always seen between Katara and Aang whenever they have moments of privacy.  Just compare the dance to the awkward exchange they have in private during the “Cave of Two Lovers” that ultimately leads to nothing in terms of their relationship progress.

...or the sad farewell exchange they have during “The Invasion” (just a few more episodes after “The Headband”) that ends with a desperate, one-sided kiss.

...or when they finally try to talk about their feelings during the “Ember Island Players” which ends in another desperate, very much one-sided kiss.

(Small note on the EIP moment-- Notice how in that scene, Aang is upset about a performance, specifically how it’s not syncing perfectly with what he wants to believe is happening in real life.  Hmm.)

The dance shows that Katara and Aang can naturally be good team together when the situation calls for it - be it for a performance, or a dangerous task/obstacle/sea monster - but when the pressure is off, and no dangers are abound... when it’s just the two of them, standing face to face... things look quite different.

What you have is a young idealistic kid who, up until a year ago, never had to deal with horrors bigger than cleaning his own room, and a traumatized teenaged girl who grew up in a war-torn village, delivering babies by the time she was Aang’s age.  

Their differences in maturity and world views ultimately limit the deep level of understanding they can actually have as people.

...which brings me to my second point:

2) The dynamic between Katara and Aang in “The Headband” was... weird.

Seriously.  It was characteristically a hot mess.

On one hand, you have Katara completely fine dressing up as Aang’s very-pregnant, very-doting mother to get him out of detention.  On the other hand, you have Katara being girlishly shy and upset from the attention Aang is getting from random girls (something that echoed her sentiments from way back in Season 1 ep 4 “Warriors of Kyoshi” but haven’t seemed to amount to anything.)

We see Katara’s inherently-mature self suddenly get eclipsed by her girlish  feelings for the kid she is always nurturing.  A kid who is very much still a kid.

How much of a kid is he, you ask?

Well... when Katara dances with Aang, they dance with the same synchronization and sweet energy of an “it” couple at Prom.  The issue here is... even if Aang was technically thirteen, in this scene, he is “Kuzon Fire”... elementary-school kid who makes FL Ozai portraits out of noodles and happily shows them to his fake-parents as refrigerator-worthy.

So, at least in this episode, Aang is actually twelve going on seven.  

He’s a kid, and kids don’t go to Prom.  They go to highly-chaperoned elementary-school mixers.  

In the crowd’s eyes, sparks are flying between Katara and Aang as they dance, they have this unspoken chemistry, and their final pose inspires romance.  Great!  In my mind, I’m thinking “aw, so this is like the mature eighth-grader showing deep feelings for the fun-loving sixth-grader, age gap be damned... and they’re too shy to kiss.  It’s not Prom or Elementary School mixer.  It’s typical middle-school cuteness.”  Cool.

However...

After the whole cave dance scene is over, and they escape from the Fire Nation school principal, Katara tells Sokka that they’re safe and he can take off the mustache now.

...and that’s when it hit me.

Sokka was dressed as a chaperone, and acted like a chaperone for this dance.

Never was it implied that Katara wouldn’t be a chaperone for this dance, and it made the whole scene be as if Aang really was the only “kid”.   Sure, her pregnant belly is gone.  But in one scene, she’s water-bending Fire Nation punch for the dance.  I’m not saying she’s supposed to be that adult we always see in school dances that’s on “punch duty,” but neither she nor Toph nor Sokka joined in with the dance party on their own.  

It made me believe they were all supposed to watch the party like formal adult chaperones, keeping watch to make sure no FN authorities showed up.

But...

Aang extends a hand out to Katara, and the adult/kid dynamic they have (both in that cave scene and in real life) is supposed to magically change gracefully into two middle-schoolers with a crush.

For me, it was like looking at a typical “middle-school dance” scene, and witnessing the charming, golden-boy new kid walk across the gymnasium floor to extend a hand to the pretty but very-much-adult teacher who’s chaperoning the dance.  And she takes it.  No gasps, no gossip.  Everyone just goes with it, like it’s not a big deal.

If you look at it like that, it’s really hard to not see it as weird.

And then... an “ATLA writer’s room” thought occurred to me:

Sokka keeps his beard after that one gag with the FN principal, sure, but perhaps Katara’s pregnant belly disappeared was to make it less “weird” of a dynamic when KA would actually dance.  It would make a cute moment between them more valid, pretending that Katara’s motherly nature wasn’t inherently part of her character, that Aang could be seen more grown-up in their relationship.  It would add to the potential of a KA ending.  Right?

Except... 

Their whole mother/son dynamic returns the moment the cave scene ends!

Katara returns to her motherly ways, tells Sokka to quit pretending with a fake mustache, and Toph even encourages maturity in Aang by complimenting him about the deep foresight in teaching FN kids about freedom.  And how does Aang respond?  Not “yeah! that was my plan all along” but rather... “haha, I dunno I just wanted to dance.”

And so Aang remains the oblivious, innocent fun kid... and Katara continues to be his doting mom, affectionately kissing him on the cheek as usual, as if to thank her son for reminding her adult self to have fun once in a while.

For me, it made the romantic subtext of that entire dance scene completely fall through.

If one of the goals in "The Headband” was to show a progressive romantic development between KA, wouldn’t the writers want Katara to see Aang as more age-appropriate for her?

Knowing that Katara is light-years more mature than the average teenager, much less kid, she wouldn’t want to see Aang as a kid she constantly needs to take care of, either in real life or in pretend scenarios.

If Katara did have a crush on Aang by the point of “The Headband,” the idea of playing his mom (especially a pregnant mom) would come off as awkward and strange.  

It would’ve been more credible to have Toph jump in and play Kuzon’s mom in that principal’s office, to have Toph play the tough-love disciplinarian to Aang along with Sokka, and have Toph enjoy pretending to be married to her crush.

Look.  All I’m saying is... imagine what the FN Principal must’ve thought if he had walked in on Kuzon Fire dipping someone who looks a lot like his mom Sapphire minus-pregnant-belly down on the dance floor like that.

Ew.

[thinkingisadangerouspastime]

(pt 1) i really enjoy all your atla analyses & you've done a great job breaking down the usual arguments re how eip shows that kataang shouldn't have happened. i'm curious about your take on one specific argument that i just saw today, in an analysis of the show by a zker that was otherwise quite good and respectful (i know you've already talked about eip a lot, so no problem if you don't feel like rehashing). the premise: aang didn't just pressure katara in eip, he threatened her.

(pt 2) they point to when katara joins aang & asks if he’s alright: “aang: no, i’m not! i hate this play! katara: i know it’s upsetting, but it sounds like you’re overreacting. aang: overreacting? if i hadn’t blocked my chakra, i’d probably be in the avatar state right now!” the suggestion is he’s threatening her when he says ‘i’d probably be in the avatar state right now’ to describe his anger. i think this take exaggerates and oversimplifies it, but interested in your thoughts on it.

Hello my friend!! It is true I am Old inside and don’t like rehashing dhdlksjslks BUT your comments on my posts are always incredibly kind and insightful so I am more than willing to do a bit of rehashing for you 🥰 Besides! I’ve seen this general take before a few times and it’s always irked me for the exact reason you point out - it simultaneously exaggerates and oversimplifies the situation (and honestly that’s an impressive duality since it’s seemingly contradictory, so hats off to them lmaooo) - and now is as good a time as any to address it. So, for starters, let’s go ahead and get the excerpt they love to focus on so much:

Cut to Aang standing alone on a balcony. Katara enters and walks up to him.

Katara: Are you all right?

Aang: [Angered.] No, I’m not! I hate this play! [Yanks his hat off and throws it on the ground.]

Katara: I know it’s upsetting, but it sounds like you’re overreacting.

Aang: Overreacting? If I hadn’t blocked my chakra, I’d probably be in the Avatar State right now!

Here’s the thing about so-called analyses of this excerpt: in a manner extremely convenient to the poster, they never seek to contextualize this moment. (I mean, to do so would deplatform their entire “argument” - perhaps that’s why they avoid performing a full analysis?) So let’s avoid that pitfall from the start.

Firstly, below are some links to related posts; I’m going to do my best to summarize the most relevant parts, but for anyone who desires greater detail, I gotchu 😤

This post explains why EIP (the play, lol) is imperialist propaganda and is intended to belittle the entire Gaang.

This post explains how Aang never acted “entitled” to Katara’s affections, particularly in regard to EIP.

This post breaks down the infamous EIP kiss like Snopes Fact Checker, covering common misconceptions, important perspectives to consider, etc.

Alright. With that out the way, it’s time for some context.

Aang and Katara have this conversation on the balcony after watching 95% of “The Boy in the Iceberg,” a play chock-full of Fire Nation propaganda that demeans the entire Gaang in order to prop up the Fire Nation as superior (hence why the play ends with Ozai’s victory). Here is my general breakdown of Aang and Katara’s treatment in particular from a previous post:

- katara, an indigenous woman, is highly sexualized and portrayed as overly dramatic and tearful, because the fire nation objectifies women not of their own people and views them as less intelligent and less emotionally stable

- aang, the avatar, the sole survivor of the fire nation’s genocide of the air nomads who is incredibly in-touch with his spirituality and femininity, is portrayed as an overly-airy and immature woman. the fire nation portrays him with a female actor to demean him (like, that’s classic imperialistic propagandist tactics) and furthermore writing his character as a childish airhead reinforces the fire nation sentiment that the air nomads were weak, foolish people who did not deserve to exist in their world

In other words, these kids have just watched almost an entire play that preys upon their insecurities and depicts them using racist and sexist stereotypes about their respective nations. It is completely understandable that tensions might run a little high and that their interactions would not be as balanced as usual (Katara and Aang have a great track record of communicating well with each other, as it happens!).

So we have to keep that in mind when examining the aforementioned excerpt. But there are other factors to consider, too! Namely: they are kids. Children. Teens. Aang is 12, Katara is 14.

If we want to be scientific, a person’s brain doesn’t finish developing until they are 25, lmao, and the preteen/teen years are when the prefrontal cortex that controls “rationality,” “judgement,” “forethought,” etc. is still developing. This doesn’t mean Aang and Katara are irrational and make poor decisions 24/7 (obviously not), but it does mean that in an intense, highly emotional situation, like after watching a play that intentionally demeans them and depicts them as inferior, they are more likely to overreact, more likely to be emotional, and more likely to make mistakes. Like, I’m serious, lol. “Teens process information with the amygdala.” That’s part of the brain that helps control emotions! It’s why teens sometimes struggle to articulate what we’re thinking, especially in situations that require instinct/impulse and quick decisions, because we’re really feeling whenever we make those choices. Acting more on emotion. Our brains simply haven’t finished developing the decision-making parts, lmao.

In sum: Aang and Katara are both kids, not adults, and should be interpreted as such. This doesn’t negate their intelligence, because they are both incredibly smart and Aang is arguably the wisest of the Gaang, but they are human. Young humans. They have emotions, and we should not be so cruel as to assume they’d never act on them.

So taking that all together, we can now acknowledge the high stress Aang and Katara are under, understand why they might be upset (*cough* imperialist propaganda is hurtful *cough*), and examine how their youth might play into their emotional reactions. And funny thing - all analyses that come to the conclusion of Aang “threatening” Katara here do not usually bother with this context. I can’t imagine why!

And you know what, let’s add one more piece of context: Sokka states that Aang left the theater “like, ten minutes ago,” which is what cues Katara to go look for him on the balcony. The reason I mention this line is because to me, it suggests Aang knew he was more worked up than usual! He chose to separate himself from his friends so he could process his frustration! He did not take his anger at the play out on them; instead, he purposefully took time and space to be alone.

With that in mind, I don’t understand at all how Aang’s Avatar state quote could be interpreted as a threat? Canonly, Aang is someone who was aware enough of his frustration to separate himself from the others - yet the logical next step is him threatening Katara as a result? He knew his intense emotions were because of the play (which he says himself), so the logical conclusion is that he then pinned the fault on Katara? What?? Sorry, that interpretation has no textual basis, lmao. But I digress!

Aang tells Katara, “If I hadn’t blocked my chakra, I’d probably be in the Avatar State right now!” As you said, this is the line people point to in an attempt to justify their (baseless) conclusion that Aang is “threatening” Katara. So let’s bring in the two key pieces of context: imperialist propaganda and age. Given that Aang is 12, and given that Aang has just watched almost a full play that demeans him and everything his people stood for (and let’s not forget it also mocks his and Katara’s love for each other)…

His reaction is understandable. An exaggeration and needlessly dramatic, but understandable. He feels vulnerable and insecure and Aang is human. He is human and flawed and he overreacts here and I love that A:TLA shows how even our heroes, even people who are truly good at heart and in soul, can get overly upset (especially given the aforementioned circumstances!). Would Aang actually be in the Avatar state at that moment, had it been possible? Of course not! He’s young and he’s hurt and as such he says something dramatic to convey his anxieties and frustrations. The line is not meant to be taken literally, and seeing people do so despite all the factors that should be taken into consideration when analyzing it… Cue a long, tired sigh from me and so many other A:TLA fans.

And to be honest? I cannot fathom how people watch this episode and come to the conclusion that Aang is “threatening” Katara. To me, this episode - besides being a recap episode - is one that humanizes our cast even further. Aang snaps at Katara, kisses her when he shouldn’t (which the story appropriately treats as wrong). Katara pushes down her true feelings and retreats into herself, afraid to start a relationship with the boy she loves because she’s already lost him once before and can’t bear to do so again. Zuko further confronts the hurt he’s enacted upon others, especially upon Iroh. Toph practices being vulnerable and accepting vulnerability from others by conversing with Zuko. Sokka witnesses how others have erased his contributions and labelled him as nothing more than the token nonbender in the group. Even Suki learns that she is not the only person who holds a place in Sokka’s heart and that she can never replace what he has lost.

To watch this episode where our heroes must come to terms with how the Fire Nation deems them inherently inferior, with how they have more fights to overcome in the future with the Fire Nation than a single war, and to come to the conclusion that… that what, Aang is abusive? A monster? Irredeemable? That he would threaten his best friend, someone he loves in every way?

Wow. That says more than enough about the viewer, doesn’t it?

[firelxdykatara]

do u know what john obryan (one of the writers) said to justify Kat*ang? lmao it was THE Friendzoned Nice Guy™️ thesis statement. i'd like to see him try and repeat that bs in this day and age. he'd be roasted within an inch of his life and cancelled before he could blink. and the way the ship was handled in the end? u can practically SEE that that's exactly the kind of thought process that led to it being made canon.

Oh yeah! I reblogged a post the other day which had his quote in it, and his exact words were:

“Who hasn’t felt like Aang at some point? When you’re pursuing a girl [Katara] and she’s just gonna go after that guy [Zuko] who really doesn’t care about her?”

Like, Big Yikes, way to make Aang sound like a Nice Guy(tm) who’s been getting upset about the fact that all the friendship tokens he’s been using on the girl he likes haven’t led to her giving him the romantic time of day. And I hate it in large part because you absolutely can see this attitude seep into Kataang’s ‘relationship development’ (such as it is) over the course of book 3, and it’s toxic and unnecessary, and yet the shippers eat it up (and frequently excuse Aang’s bad behavior with the fact that he’s twelve and doesn’t know any better, which a) means he’s way too young to be getting into a relationship, and b) means he should have been taught better, and the fact that he isn’t on-screen is deeply concerning), and I genuinely do not understand???

Aang and Katara kiss (romantically--no, Katara kissing Aang on the cheek does not count, that’s the same way she kissed Tom-Tom, an actual baby, and none of the times she kisses Aang on the cheek are framed romantically on her end) four times in the series. One of those was in a ‘kiss or die’ situation, and it didn’t happen on screen. Katara immediately forgot about it and was excited to get out of the tunnel, showing she wasn’t reading into it nearly as much as Aang, who got nervous and wanted to talk about what it meant. Of their on screen kisses, the first two are nonconsensual, surprise kisses, initiated by Aang. He never apologizes for either of them (and, in fact, casually rewrites history when he brings the first kiss up during EIP, saying “we kissed” and that he thought they were going to be together afterwards, when Katara had no say in actually kissing him and then he ran off and they never talked about it), and the second kiss explicitly crosses a boundary Katara had deliberately set, saying she was confused and closing off her body language because she was not ready to even consider him in that light.

Notably, that Ember Island Players scene, which ends with Katara getting angry at Aang for violating her boundaries and storming off the balcony, is the last one-on-one scene they have for the entire show. His lack of respect for her boundaries or her feelings (he never once thought to ask her if she had feelings for him, he just assumed she did and then got pissed when an actor on stage said otherwise, which is the epitome of entitlement and I don’t care how young he is, it was exceptionally gross to see that play out on screen and never get addressed beyond one tossed-off ‘I’m so stupid’ lament) goes completely unaddressed. The one scene they even share together in the following episode is the precursor to Aang running away (which is another issue altogether--the girl with intense abandonment issues getting paired with the boy who has a chronic running away problem), and everything about her romantic feelings, her confusion, her anger and other unpretty emotions... it’s all resolved off screen, in time for Katara to walk out on that balcony and kiss Aang in the epilogue.

You can absolutely trace this back to things like that quote from O’bryan, and the overall attitude Bryke had towards their female fanbase (”women who ship zuko and katara will forever have doomed relationships.”), and I deeply hope that, if the live action series actually happens, Katara is given more consideration in her own romantic narrative than she was in the OG show. Because if I have to watch a teenage boy (remembering that it will have to be filmed over a period of time in which Aang’s actor, if cast age-appropriately to begin with, will likely hit puberty) violate a teenage girl’s boundaries like that again, particularly in a ship that’s supposed to be ‘wholesome’ friends-to-lovers, I’m gonna be exceptionally fucking pissed.
