Kind of late to becoming a proper part of the atla fandom, and more specifically a zutara stand. With the things going on within the fandom, it had me reflect on how I became a hardcore zutara shipper.
I watched the show as a child but felt neutral about the canon ships at the time. Came to rewatch the show a couple of months ago after being inspired by natla clips. Absolutely loved it, it was great. However, I was definitely not a fan of aang kissing katara multiple times without consent, and went online to see if anyone else had talked about it. And thats when I came across the whole zutara concept. Ngl I had not even considered them as a potential ship but after reading some of the arguments for the ship, it totally made sense. I'm not going to go too much into it since it has been covered extensively by other fans but narrative-wise, themes and simply being on the same level of maturity. Not to mention the banger fan arts and fics.
I rarely get so fixated on a piece of media but this ship has had me on a chokehold for the last couple of months. Super happy that I rediscovered atla.
if katara was really aangâs babysitter or mother or whatever but still fell for aang, married him, and had kids with him, wouldnât that make her a groomer? and if sheâs a groomer, then why ship her with ANYONE?
This is an incredibly obtuse argument that misuses the topic of child abuse in a really offensive way and does not belong in the zutara tag, but on the off-chance that you actually want an answer:
No, because the issue with grooming is the power discrepancy. Katara and Aang do not have a big enough age difference to create that power discrepancy. I would argue that Katara is vastly more mature than Aang emotionally, but the dynamic that results is not one where Katara has more power than Aang. It's a dynamic that many women fall into because of misogyny (because when you talk about abuse, you also have to look at power discrepancies created by institutional oppression.) Katara is expected to do emotional labor for Aang, a role that she falls into in part because of how society has forced her to take on the emotional labor for her family members after her mother's death. Rather than this giving her power over Aang, it gives him power over her. The fact that Aang is the Avatar (something which he canonically has used to threaten Katara with repercussions if she does not reciprocate his feelings for her) also gives him power over her.
So no, that's not what grooming is. Nice try, but you'll have to do a lot better than that.
I was going to make this same point. Katara isn't literally Aang's mother or babysitter any more than any "mom-friend" would be in this situation. She never pursues Aang, or even really encourages his pursuit of her (in fact, goes out of her way not to encourage it until the very end of the series). The power balance is not in her favor in this relationship because she's 2 years older and does most of the camp chores. It's in favor of the overpowered child who has never been denied anything in his life, apparently. The one who threatened her with the Avatar State for something an actress pretending to be Katara did, and the who literally opened a lava fissure in her face because she didn't want to talk about the first time he kissed her without her permission.
Grooming, indeed đ
When Kataang is misogynistic it's because the writers are misogynistic. If Zutara was canon it would also be misogynistic. Removing misgoyny is done by removing misogyny, not by pairing the women with different men. Hope this helps âĽď¸
Well, sure, but shipping a non-canon ship is a perfectly valid response to the canon being misogynistic, and it isn't fans' jobs to fix kataang. If you want to do that, you can go ahead, but zutara fans will still be criticizing canon and shipping zutara.
The thing about zutara is that BECAUSE it's not canon, it is free from a lot of the toxicity in the way that the romances in atla are written. It's written like a friendship, one where the male character has to prove himself worthy of the female character's attention.
You could theoretically say that if it were written as a romance by the male writers, that would be different, but since that is not the reality we live in, what we actually have is a friendship that is written as many female fans' ideal romance.
Also the misogynistic creators have a nice guy complex about it and get soooo mad that their fans like zutara better than canon, and made jokes about women being abused because of it, so shipping zutara is actually inherently anti their misogyny.
Hope this helps đ
Ugh! Could you even imagine what Bryke's version of Zutara would look like? Full body chills.
Honestly, though, if nothing else in the show proper changed about Katara and Zuko's characters and their interactions throughout the series, I could see Zutara still being the most loved ship. Only, the shippers would do what Kataang shippers apparently refuse to do and acknowledge the stench of Bryke's misogyny in the post series canon, and write a ton of fic to fix it. Like we do now.

I guess there should be a distinction between enemies to lovers ships and hero / villain ships, but there is nothing wrong with the latter, and I don't think it's at all common for the woman to be the defensive partner. I mean, Batman/Catwoman and Geralt/Yennifer come to mind.
Although, honestly, Katara enjoyed the hell out of beating Zuko's ass.
And then there's also the tiny little fact of him eventually having to switch to her side. That's kind of a major deal, especially when we talk about the appeal of these types of ships for women. The fantasy is not in being unwillingly pursued (and you don't have to be the bad guy to do that to a woman, male heroes can still get away with that crap), it's in being acknowledged and understood.
Katara deserves to let Zuko treat her like the princess she is.
Diplomat's daughter if you want to get technical.
Zuko: "Welp Katara won the Agni Kai. Guess she's water lord now. Good luck."
Forever
As yesterday was âTwiyor Dayâ, and also @twiyorbase is celebrating Twiyor week, I wanted to do a piece that conveyed my biggest wish for them. Itâs not thought as a real wedding, but them playing with Anya, who asks them to make a happy ending for Bondman and princess honey, a âsappy romens scene like those Becky likesâ. She didnât count on her parents actually committing to it so deeply, with Loid completely smitten when he sees Yor as a âbrideâ.
Iâm a sap as Becky, Anya⌠I had to make this the sweetest thing.
Hope you like it!
Oh nooo someone is mad that we aren't shipping Kataang, the pUrIsT besT ship EvEr who could ANYONE not SHIP them??? I'M SO OFFENED GRRRR YOU ARE THE WRONG ONE
"Colonial status quo dynamics" is also just a word jumble that doesn't really mean anything here aside from trying to shame people for liking Zutara.
"colonial status quo" and it's Zuko taking Katara on a field trip to hunt down colonists for revenge murder.

i genuinely justâŚâŚDo Not care for kaâŚâŚ..shove them down my throat & leave mean, unprompted, âBut But But M-my CanonđĄđĽşâ comments under every zk post/art & denounce zk & demean the shippers all u wantâŚâŚ.i justâŚ..donât careâŚâŚi donât care if aang kissed katara without her consent twice and i donât care if he gave up cosmic power for her and i donât care if he attached himself to the first girl he met after 100 years in the ice and i donât care if katara has to Calm Him Down from the avatar state (the ever compelling dynamic ofâŚ..This isnât you baby look at meâŚ..) and i donât care for the downplaying of kataraâs character to constantly lift aangâs up. I Donât Care. i donât care if this is their standard of a Great Epic Romance. i genuinely could not care less. i donât care for your moral posturing or overconflation of characterization/canon dynamics. i donât know how much this bears repeating. i donât ship them and iâve never shipped them and i donât see myself ever shipping them. Thanks.
What if I said the sudden hate and vitriol towards zutara in recent years is linked to the rise in conservatism⌠stay with me now⌠I canât help but notice it because of the arguments I see such as âWater Tribe & Fire Nation can never be together⌠itâs way better that Mai & Zuko are married as they are both Fire Nationâ or âItâs fine that Katara is a stay at home mom & healer⌠it doesnât matter that she doesnât play a pivotal role, go on to do anything great after the warâŚâ
I don't know how to explain this, but A/ng has the energy of someone who uses generative AI
Ok, but why is this hilarious? đ It's true. He does seem like the sort of slacker student who would use AI to write his essay because he'd rather be outside playing with Appa.
It's the general vibe of wanting an easy solution to hard problems, which is kind of his main issue throughout the show.
Also an AI would 100% give him the constant sycophancy he loves. "You're so right â just because Ozai wants to kill the entire Earth Kingdom doesn't mean you should be forced to kill him. Responding to your friends the way you did wasn't just brave â it was truly iconic."
It's basically how the narrative treats him. "No, sweet baby angel, you don't need to put in any work to understand anyone's point of view but your own. You are the wisest, bravest, smartest of them all, but also your age excuses your worst acts of entitlement and you never have to apologize, ever!"
Thanks, Chat Jibbity!

Zuko is just breakdancing at this point, I mean just look at him!
Zuko in the boiling rock episode:
It's the crowd standing around him in the second gif that does it.
"The Boiling Rock...the most secure prison for the toughest prisoners"
*cut to Zuko killing it on the dancefloor while the crowd looks on*
Lol
So, I propose It's long overdue When you go to hell, I'll go there with you too And when we're punished For being so cruel The silver lining's I'll be there with you
