yea, it will be awesome to see the icons you made. By the way, Paraiba said he will reopen up shipbashes if we Kataangers have enough to participate in em. So what do you all say? I personally would love to have another one, especially the week that DoBS airs. Support the shipbash

I know I support shipbashes! I only went to one! And one after the DoBS would ROCK! How many people do you think we need? And I think the agreement was if all shippers wanted them back.

Er, let's not forget two things. 1) He was basing that off SPECULATION. From spoilers he has, but its sitll just speculation. 2) It's already been confirmed 3 times that Zutara isn't going to happen. We really don't have to worry about that. But some of the stuff Dylan says are genuine spoilers, even if they're intermixed with the speculation. Besides, the Zutara in my theory doesn't really have anything to do with it becoming canon; it's just a tool to bolster Kataang. I don't understand why the spoilers in my topic were blocked; they didn't have anything to do with the leaked episodes or even the UK episodes. They do involve spoilers from the Dongbufeng podcasts, but that's supposed to be out there for us, so it's not as disreputable as the leaked episodes. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course: I guess I'm not sure what kind of spoilers we're allowed to have hidden in spoiler tags these days.

It doesn't matter how many people are helping but it can't be all just one person (that's somewhat why the bashes "left" in the first place). I guess I'm not sure what kind of spoilers we're allowed to have hidden in spoiler tags these days. I'll clarify for you: there are to be no spoiler discussions in the RB. At all.

Thinking about the podcasts, the only theory that makes sense to me is that Aang gives up his love for Katara for Katara. (which many Kataang fans said he did during The Crossroads of Destiny) This may or may not involve Zutara as a catalyst, as in Aang believing Katara might be somehow happier with Zuko, though personally, I think Mike and Bryan would first be concerned about giving Zuko and Aang some sort of relationship. Anyway, at that point, I think Katara will decide what exactly Aang means to her, and start actively trying to get him back for herself and support him with her own heroic actions. Instead of Aang simply winning Katara's heart, Katara herself becomes an active participant in their potential union, fighting strongly for Aang's sake. In this manner, their mutual love becomes incredibly powerful. It's sort of a version of that old adage: "If you love them, you'll let them go. If your love is true, they will return to you." This is the theory I'm working with. Thoughts? I think a theory like this sounds very likely, and it is also one that I would like to see come to light as well. If you think about it, many of the people who are anti-kataang (not limited to just zutara supporters) feel that there is not enough conflit in their relationship, thus making kataang "boring". After reading and rereading many of these threads, I've noticed that the only thing holding many people back from supporting kataang is that element of drama between the two of them; while IMO that true love does not need drama to be sucessful, it still seems like a big thing that many want to see. The main reason that this theory sounds very possible is the fact that Anng is most likely going to have to revisit the "letting go of Katara" issue sometime again in this season; It just seems like did not close the whole book on that issue during the Sason 2 finalie. As the rest of the season progresses, I think we will see something very similar (if not nearly identical) to this theory. When and if these events come to light, I belive that that will be the moment that the whole "Kataang is just a happy, laughing, candy-in-the-sky, drinking coffee at Central Perk(Friends refernce, had to do it ;D) relationship" thing will finally dissapear. What many non-Kataang supporters dont see is that Kataang is not just an average "hero gets the girl" kind of love, it's the kind of love that can weather any type of conflit of situation good or bad and does not change just because the people or suituations change, it's unconditional love that exists between the two of them. This type of love is so rare, in the real and fantasy worlds, it's truly epic wherever it take place. THis type of epic love is what exisits between Katara and Aang, and I think that it will become only more evident as the season progresses much like in this theory above. I don't know about you, but it hardly sound "boring" to me. Thanks for your comments. Some of the criticism just doesn't make sense to me. People say that Kataang is a cookie-cutter "hero gets the girl" ship, but then complain when Kataang has a different feel than the so-called dramatic relationships that often dominate media. The trope of the hero getting the girl is so general anyway that it's not really fair to call it a cliche; it's all in how it's done. It's not true either that Kataang has no drama; it's just that the drama doesn't revolve around hostility and sniping at each other. Kataang's about two people pledging their love and support for each other, it's about kindness and friendship.

*raises hand*
Can I help out with the shipbash? I haven't really been involved with the room for a long while now, and I still have yet to meet a lot of the newer shippers.

my bad about the gender mixup.
@samurai: I'm hopin we can have the shipbash sometime around DoBS, most likely after that episode airs.
@chao: it's looking pretty good. Though I think the title is Move Along, not Move Alone?

Kataang's about two people pledging their love and support for each other, it's about kindness and friendship. Wonderfully said, and completely true. What Katara and Aang have is beautiful, it's based off a strong friendship and it's developed into more. Nothing disgusting about that, which is what some people have been saying I can't fathom that at all.

Wow, I really like it so far (I commented. My LiveVideo account is called "BeaverAru"). Ah, FINALLY Nightmares and Daydreams airs! Finally all these secrets can be let out without fear of repercussion. Well, okay, MOST of them... I'm actually juggling around a few Kataang AMVs. I hope to finish them up soon...maybe I should post previews of them to see what people think.
