More of the Social Media AU: these chats here are happening during season 1. Note the icons at the top - the left overlaying one tells you who started the DM.
The Agni Kai button is an inherent feature of this social media site hosted by the Fire Nation, the only one in the world so unfortunately everyone's on FlameBlr(?) The button starts a chat battle that's livestreamed. That's not shown here but I heard Zhao is almost always live. Idk.
As many people said, all public posts are automatically deleted after 24 h to prevent flame wars getting out of control. It's a very toxic social media site!

Are Katara stans more likely to become Zutara?
To be fair: I also saw Kataangers, other- or non-shippers who care at least a little about Katara and did complain about the nerfing of her character. But still…maybe it is because of the communities I visit, but it appears to me that most Katara stans are more likely to become Zutara.
The reason I prefer this ship is that I’ve become a Katara stan first. I love every side of her, the loud one precisely, when she stands up for her ideals. And, as for Zutara: There is a deep understanding of each other’s needs along with mutual respect and a special bond those two share with no one else in the Gaang. They are equals—Zuko respects, accepts and loves Katara as a whole, and the same goes the other way around (canon-platonically or headcanon/ship-baiting-romantically doesn’t matter).
So, here’s what I don’t understand: if someone ships, I would assume they care about both characters and how they fit with each other. Yet, I’ve seen many Kataangers care only about Aang: What Aang wants. What his intensions are. That he is just flawed when he kisses Katara without consent…never how Katara feels about his actions, never how she is presented at the end of the OG, in the comics and in Korra.
Regarding The Southern Raiders in this case: I truly believe that Aang just wants to help, as many Kataangers argue in defense of his behavior. The teachings of the monks helped him during his dark times, plus, he is just a kid. He panicked, bc he thought Katara would follow the same dark path, and didn’t know how to express his worries. However, this is also my point against Kataang: He is just a kid. He still has so much to learn before even thinking about a serious relationship; especially with Katara whom he still sees through rose-tinted glasses—including that forgiveness to receive closure is not the right path for everyone.
If you mention this to some Kataangers, even very carefully, they immediately become defensive, saying that it’s just about making Zutara look better and demonizing Aang. And don’t get me started on the kiss by the end. 🙄 I’ve never read anything from them beyond “Katara is clearly happy.” But what makes you think she is happy? No explanation. People who agree with me, showing that they care about Katara, are mostly Zutara- or non-shippers.
Me, on the other hand: I can easily say that Katara has every right to hold a grudge against Zuko after The Crossroads of Destiny, bc he wronged her the most. Totally understandable that he had to go the extra mile with her to receive her forgiveness. I won’t sugar coat his actions to make him or Zutara look better, so much for their complaints—that isn’t necessary anyway. The difference: Zuko stood up for his mistakes, helps Katara to find her closure without asking for forgiveness, even if that is what he hopes. Let’s not forget how she opens up to him, even during this process; more than she did to anyone else.
Aang’s mistakes weren’t that huge, and it would take a scene of maybe a minute or two to truly show the regret of his actions towards Katara.
I believe that if you care about a character like Katara with such huge beliefs and intensions to create a better world, you wouldn’t be okay with reducing her to nothing more than an attachment whose world revolves around her boyfriend/husband—or her sweetie *ugh*. Yet, some Aang-stans seem not to care about this side of Katara and really consider her happy when her life is nothing more than pampering her partner.
I was never really insane except on occasions where my heart was touched.

'Well, we all are…' he answered frankly, looking quite bewildered as he gestured from himself to his brothers"

Life Day Celebration 2022
aka 31 days of Life Day
Originally, I was going to challenge myself to write a short drabble every day for the month of December with the theme of Life Day for a bunch of my favorite star wars characters, and compiled a list for myself to keep track of. Then I thought, hey, maybe other people would like to do this too, so I made a separate post to my original idea, though the list is the same.
If you'd like to participate, feel free! I'd appreciate a shout-out if you do (just tag me! I don't mind!) and I'm tagging my own fics with #31daysoflifeday so feel free to tag your own with that as well! Below the cut is the prompt list, you can do as many or as few as you want!
If nobody wants to do this, I don't mind or care, I was gonna do it on my own anyway :D BUT I thought it'd be a fun little challenge
