The Continued Motherification Of Katara Is Tiring And Needs To Stop.

The continued motherification of Katara is tiring and needs to stop.

One of the first interactions between Aang and Katara is him taking her Penguin sledding and she says "I haven't done this since I was a kid!" and he yells back "You still are one!" and that will forever be one of the greatest moments in the show for me.

The show says time and time again that Katara does not like being perceived as a mother figure but that is the way she knows to show her care due to the role she was forced into at a young age.

The biggest point of contention between her and Toph is that Katara cares by mothering and Toph doesn't want a mother and they have to reach an understanding with each other on how to love the other properly. It wasn't just about toph learning to accept Katara's mothering but also Katara moving away from her equation of mothering = love, finding new ways to express that love and care. And their relationship is better for it.

Katara's mothering while not inherently bad or something I think she can ever really separate herself from, is not just a quirk of her character but an internalization of a deep trauma and duty. She's a kid in a tough situation that cares deeply for everyone around her but she’s still a kid. She still wants to be a kid.

Laios while I love you and do think you are in the right. You should not be in a fight that close, getting your ass beat up by a man that hasn't eaten or slept in days thatt literally just fainted a couple minutes ago.

be better babe

i will say, the worst thing that happened in fandom was when shipping just became “i ship this bc it’s gonna be real” and not just “i ship this bc i think it’s a fun dynamic to explore idc what the writers are doing that’s not my business”

Something about all the JJK endings beings snippets of a slice of life, of the characters just living and enjoying their time with each other doing regular teenage things. Just them living in a world where for a moment nothing terrible has happened yet and they can just be kids. It's just so.......god

Why don't you just kill me? It'd be easier.

JJK endings are liminal spaces the opening can change to reflect the terror, we can watch the most devastating moments of their lives unfurl on screen but the ending will always play and those kids there will go about their lives untouched by all the tragedy.

"You, me and Appa; we're all that's left of this place. We have to stick together."
