Melt The ICE

This is a smaller transgression in the mess that is Kataang, but it’s so baffling to me. Like, wouldn’t you want to find your (future) significant other funny? And his response is quite rude and unnecessary. I made a comment on a post the other day about how Aang doesn’t seem to like Katara, and this is just one of several examples of him not seeing her as a normal human being, one who makes silly jokes so that her friends don’t miss her brother as much. He doesn’t even bother to pretend to be amused.

There’s been an uptick in discussion regarding Aang seeing nothing wrong with how Katara is portrayed in the Ember Island Players, and it goes to show how Aang just…doesn’t seem to enjoy Katara’s essence and personality. He’s so worked up about being played by a girl that he doesn’t give a damn about Katara being shown as an over emotional woman who lusts over the “enemy.” No matter that Katara’s passion, optimism, and hope is what fuels the plot and enables other characters to overcome their obstacles. In fact, he agrees with this slut shaming portrayal of her, and blows up at her during their conversation on the balcony.

Aang is such a terrible partner to Katara. He doesn’t stand up for her, thinks she’ll jump straight to murder when it comes to Yon Rah, doesn’t find her funny, abandons her when things get tough, and overall rarely provides her with the support that she lends him. Apart from thinking she’s pretty and can be his mommy-wife, he rarely thinks of her highly.

5 long days of waiting is hard on a person. I also just realized that woman looks like she could be Katara's older sister haha.

ZUTARA + PARALLELS PART TWO:

Look how much Katara's face changes with a shorter, softer chin! And her nose is just a matter of removing that pointy tip to make it look more… herself. And I also rounded Zuko's chin and removed that little pointy nose (because only God knows why they thought it was a good idea to give them all the same face) // Mira lo mucho que cambia el rostro de Katara con una barbilla más corta y suave! y su nariz es apenas quitar ese pico del final para que parezca más... ella. Y tambien redondie la barbilla de Zuko y le quite ese piquito de nariz (porque solo dios sabra porque pensaron que era buena idea ponerles la misma cara a todos)
