tripped and spilled politics on my ships

How it's felt becoming a lowkey NATLA defender over the past weeks.

The emotion I'm feeling is called regret.

I have been reading A LOT, and i mean A LOT of fanfiction in the last year ( thank you American politics for giving me so much anxiety I needed something to disassociate to lol) so I have ran into a few Siren Katara's and felt compelled to draw one. Katara thought she heard someone trying to take her meal/man from her lol. I honestly just wanted to try a little more dramatic lighting so here she is *--*

this was originally supposed to be a low effort sketch for a friend but i got carried away

the original!

...but on the other hand, because the creative team was so divided during this time, it wasn't enough to just let things lie or whatever, so somewhere in between the "friends / synergetic teammates" bit and "co-usurpers" bit of their relationship development, the show takes not one, but two distinct moments to turn to the viewers and say "zutara shippers you are dumb and stupid and delusional btw" cause the creators had a complex over the fact that young girls in 2007 preferred zutara. And then right after that zuko goes and throws himself in front of lightning for katara. lol. lmao, even.

a war divides their people... ⛰️

omg they're so subtle :P

a peaceful nap
