hey guys... i just wanted to bring to your attention about the shipping guide
It used to have (aang + katara) under the "unrequited love" section... but no longer.
so its been declared officially mutual by the fandom... which is strange, because usually it becomes official in the fandom and then in cannon, but this time it happened the other way around...

The scene on Appa at the end of DoBS didn't seem romantic to me.... It just seemed like Katara was being a supportive friend. I don't see her giving him "the eyes", I just don't think she'd be being romantic at a time like that. I mean she just left her father for who knows how long and is about to flee for her life from the FN... not a very romantic situation in my opinion.

but exactly... that's why it was romantic.
she just left her father, again... the invasion failed, and aang pretty much fell short of her expectations as well.
she should be devistarted, she should be crying on daddy's shoulder.
instead she see's that aang is sad, and puts aside everything she feels to show him that she cares, and in no way blames him.

I think that scene's plenty romantic. Girlfriends are typically supportive of their boyfriends and would comfort them when they're sad. Plus, like Zenjamin just said, her dad was just about to go to prison, and she doesn't know what's going to happen to him. But instead of bursting into tears like I would've, she goes and puts an arm around Aang. And if this isn't a loving look, then I dont know what is.

Well, it's a caring look, maybe platonicly loving look, but no, she's not trying to be romantically loving. what comes after the word girl in the word girlfriend?? Friend. what comes after the word boy in boyfriend? Friend. Friends are typically supportive of their friends

... I gotta say, thats pretty bad logic. it doesnt at all account for katara's willingness to forget about her dad or her own personal greif.
The look she gives aang is just like the kiss... people are reading too much into it and taking it out of context. just look at the body language and the specific features of the face... its all there.
ask yourself this... if you were an animator for avatar, and Mike asked you to convey, saddness for someone else, understanding, and love, what would you draw differently on katara's face? ... i dont know about you, but i can think of no way it could be changed it for the better.
another good test is, when in doubt, guage the reaction's of a yongling who is not caught up in the fandom... when my little sister saw that look, she said "awwww! thats so sweet."

This should remove any doubt, an excellent analysis if people haven't already read it. the-fox-bandit.livejournal.com/24676.htmlI have no doubt in my mind that they are mutually in love, regardless of the words not said. Actions speak much louder than words ever will. The two of them are together.

Lyralocke: very nice fic! Their emotions were played out quite nicely and gave me that same warm, fuzzy feeling that I get from most of your works. You continue to rock! Thanks very much Zenjamin, both for reading and reviewing! I'm glad you liked it!

After a really bad day at school nothing beats coming home to a great fic that leaves a warm fuzzy feeling. Great job as usual ^^
