Kataang having such 'nonlinear' relationship progress is one of my fave things about them.

Like I love how they're friends, how they have romantic moments and don't immediately change each other's persception of the other. Like I get tired of mainstream media romances having a very predictable linear plot with set "phases". I like Kataang's slow progression, i like the romance and friendship blurring, I like that after they kiss in the Cave of two Lovers they don't immediately become a couple. I like how the world around them stalls their romance.

i feel like something anti-kataang people don't get is like,, one of the reasons people ship kataang is because of the depth of katara's feelings toward aang. like aang's feelings are not unrequited.

i'll say that again: aang's feelings are not unrequited.

legitimately when i write kataang fanfiction (or daydream about writing it lmao) it's 99% of the time from katara's pov because her love towards aang is so powerful, so rich, so overwhelming, and i love exploring their relationship through her eyes. idk i just feel like some anti-kataangers simplify their relationship to "oh aang had a childish crush on her katara never saw him in a romantic light!!" and completely disregard how much they've been through together (see: all of canon), how much katara appreciates the way aang supports her time and time again even when he's worried about her (see: painted lady; TSR), how much katara supports and comforts aang in return (see: after appa was stolen; letting zuko join the gaang largely because aang trusted him even though she did not), the constant demonstrations of how katara feels that aang brings her hope and that she needs him (see: the "you bring hope" bit; "doesn't he know how much we need him, too?"), how katara had a blushy blushy crush phase with aang just as much as he did with her (see: "what if we kissed?"), the way katara clearly reciprocates aang's interest in her but saw him die once and just can't risk seeing it again not with the war (see: epiphany at the end of the fortuneteller; how relieved she is when aang comes back to life after azula kills him; how she took care of him for weeks making sure he stayed alive; returning his kiss before the invasion; EIP), how much katara loves that aang brought freedom and fun back into her life (see: penguin sledding), the fact that katara is attracted to aang and flirts with him (see: the dance), how katara is the one that chooses to initiate the kiss with aang that closes the series, and literally just how katara is in love with aang as much as he's in love in with her. the blatant oversimplification of their relationship as a one-sided crush from aang that was "rushed" to make them get together and "satisfy" shippers is just so frustrating when it's so clear how much katara loves aang, too

i had to draw them im so happy

[alllemagne]

Thinking back to the good early days before my skin grew back when people could shake their heads at me and say "masks are a government conspiracy" and instead of navigating the bullshit like a normal person I could pull mine down and say "I have chemical burns on my face"

[alllemagne]

Hello, just wanted to say I still think about "fragments" from time to time haha, it just the way you write kataang is sooooo good! I hope one day we get an update, or maybe even a notice that the fic is dead :/ (I hope not 😔) anyways are you excited for that avatar studios young/adults gaang movie coming out? I definitely am!
