more like 47, Appa's lost days and Zuko alone. Well obviously, but I meant it in a collective sense. Kataang is like the OTP of the show, some big dynamics are based off of it, and to just throw it all away at the end with out some kind of resolution really would be bad storytelling. And yet, we already know this isn't going to happen, so all is good ^^ It actually would be bad storytelling. Kataang has been very well developped throughout the entire show, it has been there since the very first episode and it'd be silly if it didn't have closure in the end. EDIT: Utsu, I think the comic was referring to the diehardcanon!Zutarians, not normal shippers on here. I know. But I still wanted to point out that not all Zutarians are like that.

Obviously not all Zutarians are like that, you're the perfect example ^^
You don't see it at all very often on DH, but there are Avatar fandom sites where the characutures that are being made fun of in that comic roam freely.

After watching the awesomness that is "The Puppetmaster" on Youtube, I couldn't resist writing an angsty Kataang piece (haven't done one of those in awhile...) So, behold! www.fanfiction.net/s/3874608/1/wow... o... just... holy... wow i dont read many fan fics, but the ones i have read cant hold a candle to you. only the road less traveled might be comparable... but only in the adventure/ inner turmoil sense, yours was heart-breakingly wonderful. made me physically sit up in my seat to better soak it all in. you have the skillz. do you have any others you could share? "Something inside her broke neatly in two. Katara felt it, and wondered if maybe it was her heart." ... ok i got a little teary there, now to visit the manly thread for some balance. *karmas* i hope people who have not gone through what katara went through, feeling like there is something fundamentally wrong with your core of being, can still identify how horribly wrong it must feel... you conveyed that extremely well for a short.

I don't think that one or the one posted a little while back (equally hilarious) was really making fun of an actual type of person. I think it just sorta lays waste to anti-Kataang arguments using an purposely unrealistic stereotype. But maybe I'm just desperately trying to justify the fact that I found that so funny I could have cried...

So, behold! www.fanfiction.net/s/3874608/1/I just read it and my god,.... that was very good. I could feel the pain that Katara is feeling. Aang was so sweet to comfort her like that. ^_^ Obviously not all Zutarians are like that, you're the perfect example ^^ Awww... thank you. That's so sweet.

Yea, most fannon shippers are crazy though(and that's not an insult, since I ship taang along with kataang, and place taang higher on my whishlist then kataang) *cries*

It's beautiful Radient Beam! (Is there anything shorter than that that people call you?) It's so sad and sweet, poor Katara, I just love how Aang is being so loving and sweet towards her. *karma*

Heh, thanks for the positive feedback guys. I haven't written Kataang in awhile, and this was a really dark piece for me to pick up my groove again... so I didn't know how well I'd pull it off. (Especially the whole "How can I be a Waterbender again?" thing...) KrystalFruit22: Most people here just call me Rai or RB. ^^

So, behold! www.fanfiction.net/s/3874608/1/I left you a review, Rai. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed reading this astounding piece.

You don't know how much it meant to me. ^^ I do wonder what makes it so good, though, because I got these awesome reviews for it and the thing was so darn difficult for me to write... (In fact, the whole Waterbender/Bloodbender issue was something I actually came up with at the very, very end. I originally just had Aang comforting Katara, without the conflict of Water/Bloodbending.)

I think it just sorta lays waste to anti-Kataang arguments using an purposely unrealistic stereotype. But maybe I'm just desperately trying to justify the fact that I found that so funny I could have cried... This is a good point, I can't actually think of many strong arguments against Kataang. There were some before the start of Season 3, but they've been killed off xD The only real issue we have is the whole Avatar State ordeal and the show has been not so subtly hinting towards the 'Avatar's should love' side...

Radiantbeam that Fanfiction was absolutely perfect... I reviewed it so I won't say much here. Kataang is so canon at this point no one can do anything about it. All of those Zutarians and Taangists are probably starting to realize that. It would be ridiculous if they didn't have them end up togethor after everything that they've put in that was purely for shipping purposes (dances, blushing, kissing- throughout the entire 3 seasons). M & B can't possibly be so cruel that they would rip Kataang away after all of that build-up. I have no doubts in my mind that Kataang will happen (officially) before the show ends. Unfortunately I'm not so confident with some of my other ships EDIT: Karma for you Rai

yes!!... karma for you Rai The stronger party for Kataang are the arguments, it is indestructible , the interesting thing is that this relationship is very complex and often can not predict what kind of situation will be found, there are many layers as open your mind, where you can find all kinds of complexities and levels deep. Perhaps the Kataang can only be appreciated who looks at all this and is sensitive to its complexity ... but it is only a guess ...maybe not want to generalize P.D. Now no longer feel guilt for my Icon ... P.D.2 Frozen apology, I am a little embarrassed with you
