Do you think Katara knows Aang likes her? Maybe not exactly, but she might have an idea of it.

I just can't wait to see The Awakening. The title just has a beautiful ring to it; I'm maybe thinking it will be the awakening of their love?

Or if not awakening of "love", so to speak, perhaps I different kind of awakening that has to do with their love. For example, perhaps for Katara, an awakening of realization?

Yes! When Aang wakes up, she will realise how blind she's been, and that she needs to cherish Aang because she became so close to losing him.

I always thought the Awakening would be Aang's spiritual awakening or something more literal. It would be quite ironic if when Aang does open the Seventh Chakra, that's when Katara recognizes her feelings for Aang. But he wouldn't love her anymore. Provided there's a way to reverse the effects of the chakras, that might be a clever way to hold off a Kataang confession until the end.

While I do think that Kataang is likely to happen, I have always wondered ever since the concept of the Avatar was introduced if there were unofficial laws about the responsibilities of the Avatar which would prevent anything more than a platonic relationship. For example: 1) the Avatar is required to act in the interest of elemental balance and most thereupon not act in the interest of a particular element, 2) the Avatar is not permitted to get married, 3) the Avatar is prohibited from having children, etc. I can see why such rules would exist, but the question is whether or not they do, and there have been no indications that they exist.

With the exception of the first (which I don't think has anything to do with being in love with someone.) I don't see a reason why those rules would exist. They're certainly not implied, let alone stated. And if they did exist then they would be the problem, not the seventh chakra. I guess you could say that the Seventh Chakra is the embodiment of those rules (It seems to have the same effect) but that wouldn't make that much sense since the Chakras aren't manditory to the Avatar's duties. Neither is the Avatar State for that matter (regardless of what Yiceman says) It has been argued that him being in love with Katara would make him place Katara's safety over the people's. That is natural if he's in love, and yes he might, but unless there's a superhero scenario, he won't be making that decision on a wide-scale. And if he does get in a scenario where, say, he can save Katara or someone else from a fire, who's to say which life is more important? It would just make the choice easier. It's not necessarily always the right way to make a decision, but if he's in love...

But conversely to the best of my knowledge it has not been implied of the existence of direct descendants of past Avatars or prior Avatars being married or having relationships, which given the prominence of Avatars in their society probably would be a noteworthy claim to put on your Ancestral Résumé. The whole no marriage/children situation seems like something which would be another typical burden of being the Avatar (kind of like being the Dalai Lama).

The Seventh Chakra could account for most of that. If he doesn't open it, I don't see a reason he couldn't get married/have kids. Do you think these laws exist, or are you being hypothetical?

What is that link from? A game? Because even in that it looks almost like divine intervention to prevent the marriage. The Seventh Chakra could account for most of that. If he doesn't open it, I don't see a reason he couldn't get married/have kids. Do you think these laws exist, or are you being hypothetical? I do not know if these laws exist, so I suppose I am being hypothetical, but I could see a clear logical reason for their existence. If the Avatar has some parallels with the Dalai Lama, this would seem to be a reasonable extension of that idea. It would be a preventative measure to ensure the priorities and responsibilities of the Avatar. Maybe something like, "The Avatar cannot have children because when you are the Avatar, all of the people of the Four Nations become your children and responsbility."
