I have updated the list you know but anyway: Some thoughts.. Katara/Aang (OTP)- Because I've never seen something like it before.
I have a habit of liking the more "passionate" romances, or at least those with a lot of drama. And there is this one, which is so...different. It's like a little girl's fantasy about her knight in shining armor. The ones who is sweet and kind and handsome. Intelligent street-wise and with the books, but doesn't boast about it. Also, you have somebody who's intense and makes you feel so alive it's beyond your comprehension. And I'm not just talking from the girl's POV, it's the guy's too. Somebody who won't put you through a whole lot of drama if they can help it. Think about it- nobody wants somebody who will put them on a roller coaster ride. You think you do and then you realize that you want somebody who's just a little bit calmer around the edges, but not boring.
That's Kataang.
And then you have the friendship. People underestimate this, always have and always will, but friendship is the most important thing. After all is said and done and the infatuation has worn away, you need something to hold it up. A strong, secure friendship does that and so much more. It also guarantees everything- honesty, trust, and love. It goes past the flowers and the fancy dinners. It's deep.
That's Kataang.
Last but not least, you have the thing of knowing that somebody will always be there. People come and go, sometimes before you realize it, but that's not Kataang. No matter what those two are together, if not in body then in spirit.
Kataang is beautiful. It's magical. It's what people spend there whole lives waiting for but some never even get, much less find. So when these two come together, it's epic. -daydream11 I guess for me, Katara and Aang's relationship symbolizes everything.
It has drama, the bonds between two people that are strong and unbreakable, it has pain, it has conflict, it has romance, it has the potential to be anything and everything. Aang is the Avatar and as such how does that reflect on their relationship. Should he fall in love? Is he allowed to? The potential forbidden angle is interesting. How will him being the Avatar affect Katara and their relationship should they marry and start a family? To me, the pair starting a family would be a symbol of rebirth and regrowth.
They are both growing and maturing, it's been interesting to see them discover new things about themselves and to see new feelings awaken. Aang is adorable as he trips his way through trying to tell Katara he loves her.
Aang's given Katara opportunities she wold have only dreamed about, he's given her the world. Katara's given Aang the unconditional support and love he needs. Already they are devoted to each other, they are willing to sacrifice much for each other.
They are both multi-faceted characters and the romance they would form would be that way well. This ship is not all sugar either. We've seen Aang's Avatar state darken his personality. We've seen Katara's jealousy and temper rear its ugly head. There is a definite potential for conflict. I can't wait to see what's in store for them next. Their relationship is obviously evolving and changing, just as they are. -Amira
People may say that Katara is two years older than Aang and its just gross that they should get together. Well, Zuko is two years older than Katara so wouldn't the same opinions apply there? There is no rule saying that girls have to date older guys/guys have to date older girls. That is a very chauvinistic opinion. Take celebrities for example. Many of the women date younger men and many of the men date older women. Its considered "in" I guess. People also mention how immature Aang is. He has the duty of the avatar, meaning that he's the only person who can maintain balance in the world and he is the one who is suppose to master all of the elements in a very short time. Who wouldn't be stressed out? The fact that Aang shows his "kid" side simply shows how he tries to maintain the stress level by adding humor. He doesn't want to worry Katara or Sokka because the atmosphere would be just awkward if he acted all serious all the time. Aang has shown great maturity. To be mature, one doesn't always have to act serious. They can be humorous but their attitude has shown growth. Aang has definitely shown growth over the season and is continuing to show true maturity. -almighty
Kataang hints in episodes 1. Episode 1-2: Katara and Aang immediately established a relationship, whether it be friendship or more. In the first episode, Katara's hopes and dreams of becoming a water bender were lifted when she saw Aang. In addition, when the water tribe banished Aang, Katara even wanted to become banished with him. Why? Well, one can say that their friendship is very strong even if it's just the first couple of days. I say that Aang symbolizes Katara's hopes and dreams. She always believed in the avatar and knew that he would come back. Even though she didn't know that Aang was the avatar at first, she still embodied her hopes in Aang because he was the last living airbender that they have seen. Also, when Aang fell overboard and was "drowning", he turned into his Avatar State when he heard katara calling him.
2. Episode 4- Aang constantly tries to get Katara's attention by impressing her with his airbending. Although she is ignorant towards Aang's obvious "flirting", she did seem somewhat upset/jealous when Aang was spending more time showing off to other people. In the end, however, she still did care for Aang because she saved him from the Unagi. Also, when Aang bravely jumped from Appa and used the Unagi to extinguish the fire on Kyoshi Island, Katara gave him a hug. One can draw that she gave him a hug because they do share similar morals.
3. Episode 8- When Aang was about to leave for the crescent island, Katara said "Please don’t go, Aang. The world can’t afford to lose you to the Fire Nation. Neither can I." One could draw that Aang has already made a gigantic impact on Katara's life and he is becoming a necessity.
4. Episode 9- In the waterbending scroll, Aang and Katara had a bit of a "bickering". In the "Healthy relationship" thingy above, a healthy relationship always works out their problems. In the end of the waterbending scroll, Katara and Aang did resolve their differences and jealousy.
5. Episode 14- Everyone knows about the "powerful" bending thing. Although many say that Katara was "utterly surprised" or "totally upset" that Aang was indeed a powerful bender, I would have to disagree. I think Katara was over analyzing the situation, like many shippers tend to do, and think that it might someone that she has never met. However, when Sokka told her that Aang is a powerful bender, it seemed more like a slap in the face for her.
6. Episode 15- In Bato of the Water Tribe, Aang fought valiently against Zuko in order to obtain Katara's necklace. Although Zuko didn't really care much for it, Aang obviously knew that the necklace was important to Katara and wanted to get it back in order to make her happy. In the end, Katara kissed Aang. Although many people say that the kiss was "directed" towards Zuko, she and Aang were obviously joking around, like many of us do with our friends.
7. Episode 1 (Book 2)- Yet again, we see that Aang's avatar state is triggered by Katara. They also had a moment in which Katara expresses her concerns for Aang because (as I've mentioned before) Aang is becoming a necessity in her life.
8. Episode 2 (Book 2)- Probably one of the most controversial things. Anyway, when Aang and Katara were trapped in the Cave of Two lovers, Katara suggested the kiss. Of course, Aang, having never experienced a romantic relationship before, kind of lost his game at that time. Later, Katara and Aang were seen leaning in to kiss until it was blacked out. The light is suppose to be shown when people express true love. Whether they kissed or not, the light was shown... why? Because Katara and Aang showed true love.
Episode 5 (Book 2)- Well, this one isn't really evidence, but Aang was asking the prisoners for advices on how to get a girl. Episode 10 (Book 2)- In the Library Katara has an infinite amount of knowledge at her fingertips and she looks up Aang. Episode 11 (Book 2)- Katara was the one that helped him out of the Avatar State at the end of "The Desert." Aang was willing to hurt (and perhaps even kill) those sand benders and Katara risked her own safety to bring Aang back. Episode 12 (Book 2)- Aang was emotionless throughout most of the episode because he did not want to loose control again and Katara was the ones who tried to get Aang to show his emotions again. At the end of the episode Aang sees baby Hope and let’s himself feel again. He then tells Katara: "I thought I was trying to be strong... but really I was just running away from my feelings. Seeing this family together [with the newborn baby], so full of happiness and love, it's reminded me of how I feel about Appa... and how I feel about you." This could be a love confession but it’s most likely Aang telling Katara that she means a lot to him and he is sorry for being short with her. Katara then hugs Aang, accepting Aang’s apology and his importance to her (and her to his as well). They also make an awesome bending team to take down the serpent in “The Serpent’s Pass”.
