^^It wasn't a surprise really, just a disappointment. Lots of books, shows and movies feature a romantic ending and we can't expect ALL of them to end up married with children. The end of the series was clearly Kataang, but I was just holding out, being a stubborn Zutarian. And sorry to keep posting here.....I miss the arguments. >.> Eh, I was okay with some debate every now and then, so it's all good. Things get stale if everyone agrees on everything. You do make a good point, but I suppose my argument would be that's the point of fantasy. A lot of marriages and relationships fail in real life, so it's nice to have stories where things work out well and people have their happily ever afters. But that's just my take on it.

Hey everyone! was just looking back at this board after the legend of korra news and thought I should say something in my old home, the sky castle. Was just looking back in the archives, saw some of my posts from almost exactly 4 years ago.. was really interesting! shoutout to a few of my favorite old people if you're still around, sonic, mashni, gigi, and amira.
Also reading the old threads and I remembered a random piece of trivia and decided I should tell this generation of kataangers the story about it:
The name of this could have been "kataang mountain resort XLI".
when it was announced that we needed to change our name (we used to be kataang warroom __), there was a poll for which name we should use. sky castle came in second and the name mountain resort won. However a few of the more vocal posters liked sky castle better, so it was agreed that we would switch every other thread, but there was only ever one "Kataang Mountain Resort", somehow the person who made the thread after the first sky castle kept it as sky castle, and that then became the name. and that is how the name of this thread came to be. (I believe I was the one who actually suggested sky castle.. but I dont remember for sure.. but I really liked it better)
Unspam: Glad to finally know Aang and Katara were together for good! Though I still suspect Zutarians will find some way to spin the story their way.

Though I still suspect Zutarians will find some way to spin the story their way. haha oh man so thats how it happened! I remember the old war rooms and the attacks from the Zutarians. i forgot what i voted for...hmm xD anyways yes im very happy that it really was Katara and not some other lady. although what if Aang cheated on her!! lol.. EDIT: *sigh* i just re-watched Sozin's comet and i forgot how awesome it was. even if i already know whats gonna happen it still gives me a rush especially cuz of the music. its very heart wrenching at times. it just sounds so good. like during the parts when toph and sokka thought they were gonna die or during Zuko's ag ni kai with Azula. the whole thing was epic especially at the end during the Kataang kiss when we thought it was gonna pan out and end but then it comes back; such a tear jerker for a long time Kataang fan. =)) anyways Go Kataang! . now im very excited for Korra ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Woot! Thanks for the shout out, Khil! It's been a long time. Yep, I remember being here back towards the end of season 1/ beginning of season two, when everyone was super excited over the "will they or won't they" Kataang kiss back in Episode 2 of season 2, The Cave of Two Lovers. Hanging out here was always fun! Anyone else remember the old days? ^-^

I just love it! Aang and Katara stayed together and had babies.
But all the wank over it has kind of gotten me annoyed. I mean, c'mon, is it really that bad that a sweet lovable guy like Aang ( who suffered so much loss ) and a brave young woman like Katara ( who was devastated by the war ) find lasting love and happiness?
People have been saying it is unrealistic. Well I find the notion of Katara falling for the guy who played a part in getting Aang nearly killed to be unrealistic. And a slap to Aang.
And those zutara fan arts - all I gotta say is she looks very 14 in those.

Actually, I haven't been part of the Avatar fandom in a while, so I kind of missed the backlash from the more diehard Zutarians about Katara and Aang having a kid.
It's not unrealistic, if they wanna play it like that...I have a friend who's been with her boyfriend (fiancé, actually) since they were like...11, I think. So it's completely plausible for relationships to last that long. Rare, I'll give them that, but it does happen.

Hmm, I don't know many Zutarians who have said it's unrealistic. But obviously, like you said, it is rare for young sweethearts to stick together. And even my parents are high school sweethearts LOL. They've known each other and started dating when they were 16, and they're going on 47. o:
But the rabid Zutarian fans have always had a reputation for having tunnel-vision. ._.

I was reading the last few pages of this thread, and realized how much I miss the shipping wars too . Good times. Anyways, not surprisingly, Aang & Katara's official happy ending made my day when I found out =].

I was actually wondering what everyone's favourite fanfic is. I haven't dabbled in Kataang fics much and I'd like to read a good multi-chaptered one.

Anything by an author on fanfiction.net whose name is DJNS. She writes excellent Kataang.

Oh hello Skycastle. I am back posting in you again. Just like old times. Good times. I miss seeing this place bursting with activity. And having a hard time keeping up with everyone. Anything by an author on fanfiction.net whose name is DJNS. She writes excellent Kataang. Hmm I've not looked at Avatar fan fics for a while. I might just have to check her out. Some of my favorites that most may not know about are the fan fics by Jojo Dancer. They mostly rated M. But there so good. And she dose some great stuff with Toph as well.

Ah Skycastle, so much has happened since I last posted in you.
But joy of joys, my wonderful OTP apparently married and we know they had 3 children and there are 3 grandchildren (that we know of as of now). The fact that Aang and Katara had a happy life together filled with love and family just makes me happy.
But there is also a bit of sadness - according to the new Korra section on the Nick.com website, Katara misses Aang terribly. And it does make me a bit sad (despite adoring Korra) that Aang and Kataang didn't get to be awesome old people together, that they didn't get to share in Tenzin's air bending children.
But I guess that is what makes Katara and Aang's relationship and romance so special to me - it causes so many feelings, from sadness to joy. It is the stuff of legends. The Avatar marrying the love of his life - the brave waterbending master.
So yeah, nice to be back to the sky castle.
