I think that Kataru is adorable!!! If Zutara wasn't my OTP then I would more then likely ship it. Haru is a good looking guy, he has nice facial features and not to mention his eyes. He has GORGOUS eyes. There is only one person in the entire series that has sexier eyes than his. Zuko. Zuko's eyes are like liquid gold. Back to Kataru. That's my backup ship. I know that Zutara has slim chances. But when you have a huge fandom backing you up, fannon is all you really need. Seriously, the possibilities are endless. For both Kataru and Zutara. Kataru is a very cute ship. Katara and Haru could've had potentiol if they had shown him more throught the series.

I really liked this ship. I loved it back in Imprisoned, mainly because although Kataang has been here since the beginning, it wasn't so incredibly blatantly obvious. I liked Haru's character, and I think he'll be a nice addition to the cast for the few episodes he'll be in.
I'm sorry to say I don't take this ship terribly seriously, mainly because I LOVE Kataang and short of a plot 180 and the Apocolypse nothing is going to stop it at this point. Honestly, although Avatar would still be good without romance, Kataang is one of the most important plot elements, described by the creators as the "DNA of the show", and it's so darn cute isn't it?!
Honestly, I think he just might die. I mean, him and Jet dying is not nearly as moving (to me) as Yue dying, and Suki might be dead too! Poor Sokka. Toph's next in line...
But, since he's coming back, I'm hoping for some cute moments! And here's to the fact that Harutara now has more credibility than Jetara.

I think they said Kataang was *in* the DNA of the show, not *the* DNA of the show. I'll have to look up the true quote, but there are two different meanings there. I have to agree with jillrg(?) about Haru being a potential romantic interest of Katara's dying after Jet did. It would make her the goddess of death. And since Sokka is already the god of death for all his girlfriends ... what does that then say about Hakoda? Was it just the fact that their mother was with him that got her killed? This family is hexed! And poor Aang! He won't stand a chance against the KatSokHak curse! Unfortunately I can't take it seriously either. Only in terms of what I think should have happened. I know some of you are Kataangs, but like I said I don't support it. So I would have been happier to see Katara with Haru, or a redeemed Zuko or Jet. But my pref has always been Haru. EDIT: As you can see the thread name has been changed to Kataru. I tried to get along by using the name everyone was using over at Zutara and then when the posting started here, everyone was using Kataru. You're all trying to drive me crazy aren't you.

Kataang is not the backbone of the show, as it could go one without it, but it wouldn't be the same or as good in my eyes without it, hence it's part of the DNA of the show. I don't think this is supposed to be a pro or anti-Kataang thread, so maybe the arguing should stop, but I guess any ship involving Katara, such as Zutara or Jetara, is fair game here. Honestly, Haru would be my second choice, behind Aang. Followed by Zuko, the Jet, who I just don't like too much.

Sorry. Wait, so do you want us to call it Kataru or Haratara? Or something totally different? I'll try to make this easier for you, haha.

I always thought it was Hartara? Oh well, why does this seem like the most basic relationship there is. Zutara comes in second, but that has a lot of emo elements to it.

I mean they just seems like it is a basic couple that you will find in the streets of Ba Sing Se.

Honestly, Haru would be my second choice, behind Aang. Followed by Zuko, the Jet, who I just don't like too much. I didn't mean to be arguing. I just think there's a big difference between the two things "THE DNA of the show" as opposed to "IN the DNA of the show." One means the show can't go on without it, and the other means it's an enhancement. It doesn't seem important but then those little slips tend to lead to 'backbone of the show' and other misinterpretations and expectations and that's when my OCD takes over. In any case, I only point out that I don't consider Kataang at all when I'm thinking of a ship pref for Katara. It's not even on the list for me at this time (even as it dwells in canon) at this time. If it were an epilogue/future kind of thing, it would make the cut. Just not while he's twelve. But Kataangs can love Kataru. Just like a lot of Kataangs like Aanji. If for some insane reason Kataang couldn't happen, it's nice to have a back up for the principals. @ssb: I'm calling it Kataru, because that's what I like. I thought everyone else wanted the other but then that didn't seem to be the case so I asked Blue Chibi to change it.

Hey, guys, this is just a suggestion, but let's not get into some sort of Kataang/Zutara ship war. We're for Kataru/Haratara, right? So let's discuss it. I'm kind of bringing this topic of discussion over, but what do yall think their kids would look like? Nice hair, we know that much...

@bpt: I'm kinda hoping for a Kataru vs Haratara war. I'm actually trying to avoid a shipping war as well, but I'm doing a *horrible* job of it. Ah, the children. Yay! They'd all have mustaches and goatees. Even the girls. Actually they'd have Katara's hair color -- it's only slightly darker than Haru's. And I think they'd split about 50/50 eye color. With four kids they'd have two with blue and two with green. Although it would be amazing if one of them had one blue eye and one green eye. They'd be tall. At least Hakoda and Tyro are both tall, so there's height genetics on both sides. Of course, Haru's mom was kind of scrawny and not really taller than the kids so they could be runts as well. I'll go with normal to tall. They would be G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. from birth. And they would be named after constellations. Their first son's name will be Orion.

^Hakoda and Tyro are HUGE!
What is with grown Avatar men and being enormous? The everyone in the gaang only comes up to, like, their shoulders.
So, I'd agree with the normal to tall, too.
The eyes, though... could be a number of combinations. I'll use my family as an example. My dad has greenish eyes and my mom has blue, and mine are blue-green, my sister has one hazel eye and one blue, and my brother has blue, so... all we're missing is a green-eyed kid. Could be something like that for Katara and Haru's kids' eyes, if they had 4 kids.

I just heard this TV commercial that said 'Get a feel for Mexico through the eyes of its people's hearts'. Or something very close to that.
It's not really relevant to the discussion except that it mentions eyes.
I just wanted to write it down quickly so I could remember 'eyes of hearts'. Talk about creepy.
What color would Katara and Haru's children's heart's eyes be? XD

^ I don't have a clue what you're talking about, Maha ^^;; But sign me up for some of that Kataru SexyFine shampoo!! ;D I really like this pairing. I think that in the brief amount of time they spent together, their personalities just "clicked". Although I have a sneaking suspicion that Haru's appearance will just be a cameo, I really hope he stays around. Anyone want to make some Kataru avvies and sigs? I'd offer to, but I'm not that skilled at PS.

@solva: I want a sig too -- I just have to take the time to think it out so I can ask someone on the sig thread to make it for me. They do a pretty good job.
And regarding the 'eyes of the heart' post, I just heard that bizarre commercial and I wanted to share. I couldn't make it coherent though. I just thought it was funny that someone would actually write 'see Mexico as it was meant to be seen. Through the eyes of the hearts of its people'. Or something like that. And since we've been talking about eyes...
Yeah, I get a little too tired sometimes.
So how old is Haru? Is there anything official that states his age? With that facial hair he looks like he's got to be at least eighteen, but they referred to him as a 'kid' in Imprisoned.
