James Potter And The Hall Of Elders Crossing

James Potter and the Hall of Elders’ Crossing

James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper is more canon than Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Bryke did it before JK Rowling

Okay, so you know how everyone’s been ragging on JK Rowling for randomly making characters gay? While I admit all those 

No one: 

JK Rowling: (insert any random character and give them a random disability/sexuality here)

tweets made me laugh, it reminds me exactly how Mike and Bryan, the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra were. Like how they made Kyoshi bisexual out of nowhere. I think the “Aiwei was homosexual” was the most random one. 

Can we mock these two as well? 

me @ me, watching legend of korra: ssssshhhhhh. just. ignore the writing. look at the pretty arts. the awesome fight scenes. don’t think about how bryke did a total disservice to katara's legacy, or how the narrative completely endorses characters who are in the wrong, something that the creators refuse to acknowledge, or the constant backdrop of black-and-white morality that prevents the show from reaching any amount of depth and complexity that avatar: the last airbender enjoyed, how none of the core characters actually developed in any way, in terms of their individual arcs or their supposed friendship--

me: .....

me: dammit

Anyone thinking that Bryke doesn’t care what zutaras think, they literally made THAT video, tried to use makorra as an excuse for WHY zutara wouldn’t work, and then did everything possible to shit on the ship and the characters.

I reiterate that I don’t feel strongly about the atla shipping scene. I see nice art, I’ll reblog it. But after seeing Bryke be immature, douchey man-babies about a chunk of their show’s fans shipping a non-canon ship, honestly fuck kat/ang. Any ship but that.

it’s wild how y'all are acting like bryke had no role in the first live action avatar 👀

I don’t care what people ship, but the writers always intended for Katara to be with Aang.

“The Fortuneteller” is pretty clear in stating that Aang’s crush was unrequited.

“The Guru” very explicitly tells us that Kataang is Aang’s coping mechanism for dealing with the loss of his people.

Michael Dante DiMartino (Avatar’s co-creator) directed an episode in which Katara cradles Aang’s body, in the single most powerful shot of the show (imo), in a Pietà. DiMartino also went to art school, so there is absolutely no way he didn’t know what a Pietà is, and what it says about a relationship between two characters when you place them in one.

And, of course, that one time when Bryan Konietzko came and outright said that Kataang was forced.

Also, if you had bothered to click through to the linked posts in my original post, you’d have read about how it is downright impossible that they made “The Cave of Two Lovers” and “The Crossroads of Destiny” the way they did if they hadn’t meant, at the time of production, for Zutara to be canon.

Also, for the love of God, even if you completely disregard everything I’ve said, please take anything two grown men who think mocking children that admire them in front of a live audience is at all acceptable, with a grain of salt.
