Kataang Sky Castle XXXIX

[Zenjamin]

that essay was way too long for me ATM, but im sure its great.


anyways, we are approaching the magic 100.

whoever makes the new thread, i suggest making some new additions to the first post now that kataang has developed so much.
some of the more recent and better fan fics such as this

I also highly suggest linking this essay, or at least the segment

Interviewer from this interview after "The Crossroads of Destiny:
"I have never seen shipping take on a life of its own as I have with the fans of Avatar. What do you think of all this?"

Bryan Konietzko:
"I think it's important to note one thing I have heard from the internet is that some fans have the idea we've put shipping into the show because they've asked for it...requested it. This is totally not the case. Mike and I like to do melodrama stuff and we wanted that in there. Not that it's all cheesy, but we wanted that from the get-go. Five years ago when we were developing this.

Mike DiMartino adds:
Yeah, Aang/Katara, that romance. Some stuff developed along the way, and we're glad some fans are more receptive to that element of the show, but it was in the DNA of the thing from the start.

i also would really like to see the the Fox Bandit's page linked.
(she has a new one BTW)

....They pretty much confirmed Kataang. If they were planning it 5 years ago, and don't add ships to make fans happy, then...yeah. My money is on Kataang. ^^

I dont need to put money on Kataang, my belief that it will happen as it was intended has been sealed and signed with my own blood xD. There is no looking back

Hey Brill, I miss seeing your bright face around here xD *blush*

Melis: I couldnt say those truer words any better hon.

[Kohana]

I personally think Kataang will be the Katara- and Aang-ship in the end. It has been confirmed in that interview Zenjamin just posted, it has had many moments in the show (see the two kisses, the many hugs and interactions) and it has been in the DNA of the show, evident in the first episode.

The only ship evident in the first episode.

And in many shows, there are a few exceptions, where a couple has been hinted at in the first episode, it ends with that couple in the last episode. Watch Friends, WITCH, The OC (Seth and Summer),....

Has anyone said that they want to start the new thread??

[KrystalFruit22]

I don't believe so ^.^

[LiveInThaskyE]

^Oh ok. Who made your siggys?

[Shizuma]

This is going to sound totally random, but I watched "Love Actually" last night and had a flailing fit of Kataang hearting right in the middle when it hit me how much Sam and Joanna are like Aang and Katara. A young boy falls in love with a girl he thinks is out of his league and doesn't even notice him, but it turns out she does notice him and hearts him back and she kisses his cheek AND OMG MY HEART. <3

They even look similar to Aang and Katara:



Sorry if any of this has already been talked about. But even if it has been, I think it's worth repeating, because FGHJKDAJ THE CUTENESS.

Shizuma: Exactly. What you said is EXACTLY what Katara was feeling. Also "How long has he felt this way? How long have I felt this way?" might fit in there too. xD

Oh yes. That definitely fits in there. :3

[KrystalFruit22]

@skye: Frozen .
And awww, I totally <3 stories/movies about young love. If that moment you posted above happens in Kataang, I will squee, though Katara has already kissed Aang on the cheek, she hasn't told him of her feelings yet, which I am sure we are all dying to see.

[ilovetaang03]

i dont like kataang that much
katara is to old for him

[KrystalFruit22]

2 years difference isn't actually all that much, some couples are over ten years apart and happily married. Sure, in the average 12 and 14 year olds, there is a great difference in maturity level, but Aang and Katara aren't typical kids, and as we've seen, Aang is very mature for his age. Plus, he carries the responsibility that not even any adult carries, so if he gets the negatives of adulthood at his age, then he should be able to enjoy the benefits too don't you think?

[mindbender18]

and Zuko's too old for Katara, so whatever

Has anyone said that they want to start the new thread??

I'll make it if no else wants to

[ilovetaang03]

it just seemed like aang was to bold to just randomly make out with katara

It wasn't random. If you ask me, it was more of a "I may not live to see tomorrow, so I might as well show her how I really feel about her the best I can" situation.
