• GO WILLOW!!!
LOOK AT HER NEW HAIRSTYLE!!! AND THE CONFIDENT FACE SHE HAS? GIRL, YOU FUCKING RULE!!!!!!!!! they better give me Willow backstory or i AM going to riot. she literally has SO MUCH potential.
THEY BETTER GIVE ME WHY WILLOW WASN'T IN THE PLANT TRACK IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHY HER PARENTS DIDNT WANT HER IN THERE NOW OR I AM GONNA B LIKE >:(
• GUS??? WHAT??
WHAT IS THIS. WHY IS GUS ATTACKING THEM WITH AN ILLUSION. and damn that looks like a powerful ass illusion so proud of my boy gus he's so powerful. BUT THAT DOESN'T STILL ANSWER MY QUESTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING GUS WHY ARE YOU ANGRY WHO HURT YOU
• who the fuck are you?
why were you deemed important enough to be in the trailer. girl and boy. who are you. REVEAL YOURSELF TO US !!!!!!!
• VINEY IS BACK AND
SKARA IS WITH THEM
do you smell it? do you smell boscha getting fucked and Skara joining Willow's group? yeah because i dO!!!!
maybe it's related to that image of Luz in Eda's jacket [gonna show y'all in one second]. just maybe Luz wore it to kick Boscha's ass
i mean, look at her face. she does look like she about to kick some bully's ass.
• WOW. just. WOW.
eda in the second photo oh papi.
my theory is that both of these pictures are related and that eda was fighting the plant coven leader, almost got her ass whooped then bBAAM. but that is just a theory.
• BACKSTORY EPISODE!!
DO YOU SEE WHAT IM SEEING?!? BACKSTORY EPISODE!!! LILITH AND EDA AND POSSIBLY RAINE?!?! I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS!!
will continue on the next post because i can't post any pictures anymore damnit
BROOOO IF THAT'S SO THAT'S FUCKING SICK the parallels they about to have with lumity is CRAZY. also. i have the feeling that this episode and the backstory episode are the same this is very exciting.
• BRAINWASHED RAINE??
UH OH. LOOK AT THEIR EMPTY EYES. i could say they were threatened but their eyes doesn't even hold fear, just. emptiness. that is worrying.
belos what did you do give me back my raine NOW 😠😠
• HEXSIDE HUNTER!!
HIGH HIGH HOPES this is redeemed Hunter but there's still that nagging doubt that says: what if he's a spy?!
maybe he was initially a spy but he was convinced to join the good side. maybe he already entered hexside redeemed. maybe something completely different.
let's see, let's see 👀👀
• KING AND HIS PAPA MEET?!
look at the surroundings. look at the other guy there. king finally is in his father's kingdom and we're about to see what really happened. FINALLY!!!
• He sees it all.
this is a SICK ass design. i always wondered how Belos was able to see Luz, Willow and Gus on the artefact thingy. i guess i know now.
dying to know what else can he do!!! March 19th you'rE COMING TOO SLOWLY MAN.
• The Day of Unity.
we can see some things here.
1. Hunter is not there. he definitely gets redeemed.
2. Raine is there. they're either in a plan with Luz and Eda or my folk is gone for good with that brainwashing.
3. Raine or no Raine, Luz has a plan and idk what it is but it does involve jumping roof to roof (you can see it's the same episode because of the background. same little builder thingy. that's The Day of Unity).
AND THAT IS IT!!
i have nothing more to add for now, maybe i will rewatch and come up with more theories. anyway, i'm so excited!! good thing they posted the promo now bc if it was any earlier like when Dana announced TOH was coming back i wouldn't be able to handle it KWHSOWHSOWJS.

i rlly like your analysis and interpretation of the characters!! what do you think is the correlation between katara's trauma with being put on the mother role and her relationship with sokka? because it's obvious none of them are the sole parental figure to each other, but for some reasom people seem to think sokka is always irresponsible while katara had to keep him from doing stupid stuff and being his ‘mom’ or whatever. do you think sokka only being able to picture his mom as through katara has to do more with how katara is the girl and what sokka imagines his mother would be in theory, more than the actual dynamic they have in practice?
thank you for the compliment!
short answer; yea you’re pretty much right. here’s the long answer though:
katara had her childhood stripped from her at such a young age and shouldered the domestic and emotional labor both in her home & within the gaang. she performs tasks like washing clothes, sewing sokka’s pants, even in s1ep1 she’s doing the chores while sokka is ‘playing warrior.’ it makes sense for her to do water related chores since... y’know... she’s a waterbender. she can wash clothes way faster than a nonbender like sokka would. but it’s clear that both sokka and katara throughout the show hold gender essentialist values. like when katara tells toph she’s not being ladylike or when she made fun of sokka for carrying a purse and wearing a ponytail. or even when sokka tells aang to not respond to ‘twinkle toes’ because it’s not manly. both sokka and katara grew up in the same environment, so they’ve both internalized these misogynistic beliefs, but since their respective genders are different, how it manifests in their actions differs as well.
it’s safe to say that mothers are more often than not the bearers of emotional and domestic labor, so sokka envisioning katara when trying to remember his mom is actually a reflection on how skewed his understanding of motherhood is, because he genuinely cannot remember his mom like katara does. mothers are more than the domestic and emotional labor they provide, but if you are a young boy who doesn’t remember his mom and holds the belief that women are the natural caretakers, if your sister does those tasks that your mom isn’t there to complete then it makes sense why she’s filled that void. but katara remembers kya, which is why she was so offended when toph said she acted like a mom. she knows the hole her mother’s death left is one she cannot and does not want to fill. katara doesn’t want to shoulder these responsibilities, but she never had a choice. it’s clear from the beginning when she and aang went penguin sledding that she’s just a young girl who wants to have fun.
just like katara was forced to take on more responsibility, so was sokka. going back to TBITIB, look at the precision in his warrior makeup application, how he kneeled at the edge of the village ready to fight knowing he would lose. he’s had a very real understanding of his own and his people’s mortality from a young age. not that katara doesn’t share any of this awareness, but she’s sokka’s little sister, which is a crucial aspect of their dynamic. sokka plays the role of the ‘wet blanket’ so katara can retain at least some of her innocence. even though he’s a boy who insists on fact and logic, he always follows katara down her impulsive paths because she’s his number one priority, period. he doesn’t care how irrational or selfish she’s being, he will always be there to protect her.
your point about people misinterpreting katara’s empathetic and bossy nature as motherhood boils down to three things: 1) a lack of understanding of what motherhood entails, 2) racism & misogyny and 3) lack of experience with youngest sisters OR are the youngest themselves and lack self-awareness. i am not a mother, so i cannot paint an accurate picture of what motherhood is. what i can say, as someone who loves my mom very much, is that if she acted like a 14 year old katara i would’ve died years ago. katara’s trauma forced her to assume certain responsibilities that the target audience of atla couldn’t understand, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a child. if you’ve ever spoken to a fourteen year old you know that one minute they could say something thoughtful & intriguing and the next say something incredibly stupid. she’s still growing as a person and she still deserves to be treated as a child even if her obligations aren’t of one.
it’s also rooted in racialized misogyny because of the notion that traumatized dark-skinned girls are inherently more mature than their light-skinned peers. it strips brown girls of their innocence and acts as if their experiences are ‘justified’ or ‘less harmful’ because naturally, of course, they can handle more. again, katara is still very much a child and is no one’s mother, please stop viewing the brown women in your life as emotional dumpsters. and finally, katara is the youngest sister. i am the youngest sister, and although my relationship with my sibling is one that’s not similar to sokka and katara’s & is too complex and personal to unpack on tumblr.edu, it is a universal fact that we are insufferable. we’re bossy & can be really mean and snarky. it’s in our nature to make our eldest sibling(s)’ life as hard as possible. the “himboification” of my brown king sokka is also rooted in racism & fandom’s general affliction towards critical thinking. y’all literally cannot handle when a brown man is intelligent and the terrible takes around his character shows how y’all don’t actually engage with the text but just view these characters as barbie dolls to dress up with whatever imaginary traits and ‘headcannons’ you pull out your ass.
basically, while sokka leans on katara’s emotional and domestic labor, she also leans on him as the ‘plan guy’ and as her older brother who’ll be there for her no matter what. they both feel strong duties to uphold the sacrifices of their same-gender parent but through their arcs, they subverted their respective gender roles and redefined what being ‘the last waterbender’ and a ‘warrior’ meant. they are both deeply traumatized children who raised one another and are nowhere near capable of raising kids.
“The police don’t target black people,” says the white person.
“LGBTQ+ people have plenty of protection,” says the straight, cisgender person.
“Women don’t feel harassed at work,” says the man.
“Poor people don’t need more government help,” says the rich person.
“Immigrants feel welcome here,” says the natural-born citizen.
Please stop invalidating the concerns of people who have problems that you’re not experiencing. Instead, listen to them, and learn what you can do to help.

it actually kills me how little thought was put into the air nomads and their culture, despite the fact that the main character was one and it was literally in the title of the show
no, they said how little thought was put into the air nomads culture, and that's NOT true at all. we couldn't see air nomads culture as much as we did with ek, fn and wt because there's no one to show us this. every air nomad is DEAD.
if you're not forgetting it, we also don't get to see how the fn and the wt celebrate birthdays so what's your point?
we got to see a lot more than expected about them, about their system, their politics, their beliefs. that's because i'm not even counting the comics!

i was just,,, wondering your thoughts ab the sexism in each nation. i always thought something was off with the fire nation on this case but i never REALLY noticed it and i know you did so,,, can u educate me? <3
YES. of course we can!!! it’s our pleasure!!!!!
many people assume that because the water tribes are the only nations whose sexism is explicitly called out within the narrative, the earth kingdom or, even worse, the fire nation is actually “progressive”. saying this, mind you, is actually a very shallow reading of the text to make, kinda sounds like colonizer apologism, and while one can forgive a child for not making an analysis on gender dynamics on atla, seeing grown adults on the internet being one step away from saying “the fire nation was right actually!” is just horrible and evil.
nour has already talked about patriarchy in the fire nation here, and there are other good posts on the subject here and here. (but really just.... rewatch the beach. the fire nation's sexism is pretty clear in that episode, especially if you're looking for it.)
the water tribe's sexism is more explicit in the text of the show — it is a common belief in the northern water tribe that women should heal and men should fight, and sokka and katara (especially sokka) both internalized gender roles while growing up. sokka grew up basing his identity on being a soldier, a man like his father, a protector, etc, while katara grew up doing a disproportionate amount of domestic labor. the ways that they express their emotions and try to care for each other differently from each other (sokka's emotional repression vs katara's emotional openness, sokka's role as the protector vs katara's role as the caretaker, etc) are partially due to their differences in age and personality, but cannot be separated from the gender roles in which they were raised. of course, katara is an outspoken feminist, and sokka unlearns gender essentialism in the fourth episode of the show. but that doesn't mean that either of them is perfect when it comes to their understandings of gender, and it certainly doesn't mean that they were raised in a fully egalitarian society.
the primary view we get into earth kingdom patriarchy is through toph. of course, the earth kingdom is large and diverse (kyoshi island, for example, is clearly pretty progressive in terms of gender), but there is some pretty clear sexism in the upper class society in which toph was raised. toph's parents treat her as powerless and fragile despite being the greatest earthbender in the world not only due to her disability, but also very much due to her gender. the gender related aspects of her arc parallel zuko's, azula's, sokka's and mai's in interesting ways, but that's a post for another time. moreover, toph's mother is quiet and composed in ways that are definitely influenced by her society's sexism. very me&myhusbandcore.
as for the air nomads, we somehow still haven't read the kyoshi novels so we can't answer this in much depth. based on the fact that the temples were segregated by gender, gender definitely existed but beyond that, we can see from the fact that aang is so casually gnc (which is so important!) that the air nomads likely weren't as obsessed with gender as the other nations.
never here for firelady katara, will never be here for firelady katara. that shit vile, that shit stinky. why must the gods have allowed that to fruition?
i agree lmao. it's time we retire that racist ass trope of katara decked out in all red without a semblance of her own culture on her. the ambassador trope is better and i thought that that's what most zks use nowadays. but it's starting to become evidently clear that "ambassador" is just being used as another word for "firelady," with some blue splashed on her outfit to avoid blatantly being racist.
like. they would claim that their art consists of katara as ambassador to the water tribe. when in actuality her clothes resemble more of fire nation style than the water tribe and she’s primarily wearing a mix of (predominantly) red and blue colours. there’s also absolutely no depiction of her signature water tribe fur on her. compare that to all of her post-atla outfits:
and you can see that she’s proudly wearing animal fur, leather, and has a southern water tribe hairstyle (not that updo that she sports with a version of the FN crown on her head. also hairstyles are another rant but can I just say that I have not once seen any FL/ambassador art depicting her with braids).
