I just watched Avatar for the first time all the way through, and yeah, it’s great, but the one thing that surprised me was how different Katara was compared to the fandom interpretation I’d seen and internalized before watching.

Like, before you watch Avatar, you’ve seen all these memes about Katara and her mom, and based on those memes, you assume it’s one of those lines you have to get used to hearing at least once every episode. But then you watch the show and realize that she only talks about her mom maybe five or six times per season and you also realize she only brings her up when she’s trying to comfort someone or empathize with them because that’s how she processes her grief and that’s one way she connects with people.

Or you hear the infamous line, “then you didn’t love [our mother] the way I did” and you prepare yourself for one of the worst character assassinations ever only to see the scene after nearly three seasons worth of context and realize she was kinda right. She’s been the mother, the nurturer, the comforter. She’s been patient, gentle, and accommodating where everyone else has gotten to be insensible and reckless and childish, and the one moment where she allows herself to feel her grief, suddenly she’s this evil bitch and not, y’know, a 14 year old girl whose been thrusted into adulthood in a way no other character has. A 14 year old girl who should be allowed immaturity and raw emotion and anger instead of the patience and grace she’s been forced to extend to every character without even the smallest amount of gratitude or even consideration in return.

Or you see all of the clips where Katara puts Aang in the “friendzone” and you expect to have this wishy washy back and forth where Aang is putting his feelings out there only to have Katara neither commit nor express any clear reciprocation or rejection. Then you watch and realize that, as cute as the ship is initially, that there’s never a point where Aang returns any comfort or grace to Katara despite her always doing this for him to the point of coddling. That for as much as Aang says he loves her, he never seems to outgrow his perception of her so he can recognize her as someone who feels grief, anger, and pain as much as she expresses love, kindness, and maturity. And instead of having moments where he learns to see her beyond her strength or compassion, you’re instead given moments where Aang forces his feelings onto her, both romantic and non-romantic, and Katara is expected to just…shoulder those feelings the way she shoulders everyone else’s.

Katara is the most misunderstood character in the show. As much as people recognize the complexities of Zuko, Sokka, and Azula, they struggle to do the same for Katara because they see her struggles as somehow lesser, and therefore, less deserving of sympathy. They can handle her so long as she’s being endlessly patient and loving and kind, but the moment her endless love, patience, and kindness runs out, she’s suddenly this annoying bitch who can’t shut up about her mother or reciprocate Aang’s feelings. But Katara’s trauma does matter as much as anyone else’s. No, she wasn’t banished from her kingdom. No, she didn’t lose her entire community, and no, she isn’t the only one who lost her mother. But the difference between her and everyone else whose experienced loss because of the Fire Nation is that she’s never given time to process her trauma. Aang gets to lean on Katara constantly. Toph gets to express her feelings to Katara, and yeah, Sokka also lost their mother, but unlike Katara, he isn’t put in the position of being a substitute for everyone’s parent. He even admits that he sees his sister as a mother. The only characters who ever comfort Katara or allow her to vent is Zuko and her father and that’s, like, three scenes in a show where the other characters are consistently given opportunities to seek out Katara for unconditional support.

The fandom interpretation of Katara has been so bastardized that even those who haven’t watched the show know her for this fanon version and not for who she is. She’s such an interesting character beyond her fandom limitations, though. She’s brave, hot-headed, and hopeful as well as gentle and caring. She wishes to learn waterbending, not only because she wants to fight in the war, but because she wants to continue her culture’s practices because, and people often forget this, she also lost an entire subculture within her already fractured tribe. And she wants to defeat the Fire Nation both because of her deep love and empathy for other people, but also because she wants to avenge her mother. But because some of the fans have reduced Katara to a bitch who constantly whines about her mother and friendzones Aang, you wouldn’t know any of this, and it sucks because she’s the only character whose been dumbed down to such an extent.

The Prince of Egypt 25th Anniversary!

The Prince of Egypt was released this day 25 years ago in American cinemas nationwide. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. Nothing compares to this film. This movie is unlike any other, and there possibly is never going to be one like it. Shoutout to all the casts and crew who took part in making this masterpiece of a film possible. Thank you all for making this film a reality.

You will when you believe.

It's not always raining in Gotham City...

After I learned about Kevin Conroy's passing, I realized I missed drawing Bruce and Andrea.

RIP Kevin Conroy. You were Batman's one and only voice and will remain his voice for me, forever.

When there’s more artwork/fanfic’s of Bowser torturing interrogating Luigi then there is of the reunion hug…

#seriously though on ao3 there's more fic's about bowuigi then there is of the bros #it's super depressing #trying to find just one fic centered around the reunion hug is like trying to find a needle in a haystack #Bowser literally made it clear that he would kill Luigi and use him as bait to lure his brother and have him killed as well #And yet somehow the Internet took this as romantic?! #also Luigi Would NEVER fall for someone who threatened to have his brother killed just because a princess might be into him #I wish i was a writer #and an artist #super mario bros movie #mario and luigi #anti bowuigi

“Yeah, I’m actually looking for somebody. My brother, in fact. He looks exactly like me, but tall, and skinny, and green. See, last time I saw him, he was falling through a pipe. It was foggy, and I believe there was lava.”

"Hang on, Luigi."

“Me and my little brother, Luigi. W-we fell down this pipe. And now he’s lost. S-somewhere in the Darklands.”

“You know what, make fun of me all you want. But you’re gonna to help me find my brother. 

“We’ve never been apart this long.”

“Well do you have another way to save my brother?!”

“Well at least you’re brother isn’t going die because of you!”

Every time Mario brings up Luigi while they are apart in the Super Mario Bros Movie

Katara has always been my favourite character and she doesnt deserve the hate just for mourning her mother.
