@ilovedath0rse Why was Stolas not an ideal parent, because of this idea (pretending to be a happy family and having two parents for Octavia), was a factor that made matters worse rather than better
Found an interesting kataang parallel:
Katara defeated the granddaughter of the man who genocided her people.
Aang defeated the grandson of the man who genocided his people.
@faralong_o he became an ordinary man, all he had left was talk. He will be in prison, he must now live with the awareness of the changing Fire Nation, the cycle of hard hand from his ancestor Sozin is over
@faralong_o I think taking away Ozai's firebender is a worse fate than killing him completely. If he were killed, it would be like letting him go to jail for all the wrongs he has done. And as it is, he is without power (which he abused against others), he cannot to praise with power

@idkxcece I don't know how I can see real tension in person who hate him and openly threaten him if he hurts someone close to her again, and the other doesn't remember why that person don't trust him
The biggest sin kataang committed was not being heteronormative and that is why ppl hated it.
Aang is shorter than Katara, younger than her, in tune with his feminine side, a soft spoken monk whereas Katara has a bit of a temper, he is even a damsel she saves from death.
I always thought it’s so disrespectful to call Katara’s rightful anger ”sexual tension” she had previously witnessed Zuko assist Azula in Aang’s death and betrayed her trust. There’s nothing in her here but rage. She had every reason to distrust Zuko. Zuko was also the personification of the trauma she had endured from the Fire Nation.
People need to accept that Katara truly loved Aang.She became his girlfriend and then his wife;they were intimate enough to have three children and spent most of their lives together.The only thing that separated them was his death, and even after that, she continued to love him
@Trinityy182 If for you a healthy relationship means that the person you trusted and wanted to help betrayed you and your friend and helped him kill him and then this person blames you for not trusting him like others to trust him
I'm starting to worry about what's is healthy way for you
It makes me laugh so much how Katara barely knew Aang, yet she still went penguin-sledding with him. 😭 This girl really had an insane amount of trust in that boy from the very beginning.
are ppl dumb… the whole point was to show that katara would never find out. the things u do in silence when u love someone. remember when katara threatened zuko’s life for aang?? aang will never find that out. there are people saying that aang was selfish (this is a zk shipper)
@blueydoodles Even 18-first year-olds of adulthood shouldn't be sexualizing charater either! They are just entering the adult stage and were recently minors
Korra’s psychological arc was honestly TOO MUCH for one person to endure.
Look at what this girl went through while she was still incredibly young.
She was hunted by Amon, lost her bending, had Raava ripped out of her, lost her connection to every previous Avatar, watched people she loved die, was poisoned and forced into the Avatar State by Zaheer, and then spent three years dealing with the psychological aftermath.
And the terrifying part?
The Red Lotus didn’t just hurt Korra physically.
They attacked her sense of identity.
She went from being the most confident person in the room to questioning whether she was even capable of being the Avatar anymore. She isolated herself, struggled with PTSD, hallucinated Zaheer, and eventually had to confront the version of herself that existed in her own mind.
Then she was expected to get back up and save the world again.
Korra was only 21 when she was poisoned by Zaheer.
At that age, she had already experienced more trauma than most people could process in a lifetime.
And that’s what makes her psychological arc so powerful but also raises a serious question:
Why did the Avatar world keep expecting someone so young to endure this much simply because she was the Avatar?
We praise Korra for becoming stronger after everything she survived, but sometimes I wonder if the story doesn’t make us overlook just how horrifying her journey actually was.
She wasn’t supposed to be invincible.
She was a young woman who kept getting broken, rebuilding herself, and being sent straight back into the fire.
Was Korra’s character development brilliant… or did the writers put her through WAY too much? 😭
