writing kataang fanfic and im abt to cry they love each other sm
like. i rly dont like the direction of the comics where they keep traveling the world on mission-based excursions. because writing any post-atla fic makes me think about what it takes to rebuild a fucking society.
it's already difficult in the southern water tribe bc there's hardly any remaining permanent infrastructure and literally 0 bending masters left, even if a lot of their bending style and cultural knowledge was probably shared by the northern water tribe
and then imagine how much harder it wouldve been for aang to get the air acolytes thing started, or to generate interest in restoring the temples
so genuinely no idea if this is ooc or not but MY katara is absolutely unhinged about aang. she's his #1 advocate to just. focus on reviving what he can of his culture, fuck all the petty govt officials who can't solve their own problems and need to be handheld by a single teenager. she WILL start shit whenever people try to guilt aang into helping with utterly trivial or self-serving crap because she knows what it's like to be the last
so she'd do her best to learn the language and the prayers and whatever other rituals, even if she doesn't live by them. because aang inhabits a different world sometimes and she just wants to be able to meet him there. her people are his people and if he doesn't have any at the moment then godamnit she'll be his people
