The Avatar fandom really will look you in the face and tell you that these people look the same

It’s almost like there is no japanese legend that states that in your next life you will be born with the face of your current lover… and y’all are a bunch of westerners who feel comfortable spreading misinformation about other cultures 😱

I can’t get over the fact that Bryke decided Katara should believe she deserves no thanks in The Promise. I mean, they literally made her feel guilty for being uncomfortable spending the night with her bfs groupies fangirls.

I’ve seen people claim that Aang was oblivious to this. Don’t they get what this is about? His obliviousness doesn’t even matter. Katara's feelings are valid no matter what, and talking about it would have been the only healthy thing to do.

And don’t get me started on those who insist that this shows how both of them had grown since Book 1... This is no growth to me. It seems like Katara, who has always been vocal about her feelings, learned in this one year of her relationship to repress them instead. Either to avoid conflict altogether or because she's been told to 'control herself'. And unfortunately, this is the reality for so many women in RL.

If this is Bryke’s idea of a healthy relationship, I’m actually so glad that Zutara isn’t canon. They could’ve easily made up for the forced K@taang endgame in ATLA by showing a relationship where both sides are validated equally, but instead we got this bs.

If this wasn’t already a bad enough example for girls and young women of what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like, Bryke took it even further: They made the very girls who openly flirted with Aang in front of his girlfriend the official Air Acolytes. In other words, unless Katara and Aang are off on their next adventure, they are surrounded by them almost 24/7.

Yeah, that’s right. Just keep smiling, Master Katara Avatar’s girl.

I mean, what does her life look like surrounded by those Aang-worshiping girls and her boyfriend, who remains oblivious? Constantly smiling, acting as though she doesn't hear the obvious advances happening right in front of her? Ignoring the catty comments directed at her by some of them? And, in general, adjusting to her boyfriend's—later, husband's—life while forgetting her own ambitions? Now, we could argue that she wouldn't stay with Aang if she eventually realizes that she has put up with too much and lost herself. But, I think, we all know that lifelong relationships like this exist in RL.

I read a post that mentioned the air acolytes not knowing about Aang's two other kids and it made me wonder if he ever told Tenzin to not mention Bumi and Kya while they were visiting the air temples (I feel like mentioning one's siblings, even offhandedly, is quite normal in general conversation and if he played with other kids beyond bending practice, you'd think it'd have come up at some point). Can you see Aang doing something like this? And if so, how do you think Tenzin might feel about it?

Like most of the awful things Aang does, I don't think he would do this consciously. I don't think he allows himself to put words to his disappointment in his older kids (often). I think it comes out in his deeds attitude, and Tenzin picks up on it, and follows his father's example. Aang not mentioning his kids probably looked more like him not talking a whole lot about his family in general. Look how much Katara faded into the background. If she wasn't traveling much with him after the kids were born, and Aang wasn't talking about her, that makes sense. Aang probably also spent most of his non-Avatar time talking about how great the Air Nomads were, and since his non-airbending children didn't have anything to do with them, why would they come up?
