Special thanks to @Child_ofOlive on Twitter for making this year’s banner and @dailykataang for sharing it with us!
Kataang Week is when we, as a corner of the fandom, celebrate the ship Kataang on Tumblr! The prompts for Kataang Week 2025 were selected through voting this past weekend and all prompts were submitted by Kataangers.
Summer Kataang Week 2025 starts on Monday, July 28th - six weeks from today - and ends on Monday, August 4th.
Who is the founder of Tumblr’s Kataang Week?
@secretsecrettunnel revived Kataang Week in the summer of 2013 a few years after Avatar: The Last Airbender ended and when the fandom was itching for more Kataang during The Legend of Korra’s run.
I would like to take this time to extend a huge thanks to Mods Atarah, Belle, and Celes (@penguinsledder , @itsmoonpeaches , @chocomd ) for all their years of work. They were great mods and are still amazing people and wonderful friends. For several years, Kataang Week wouldn't have happened without them. They are always welcome back if they have the time or desire to be Mods again. Love you guys!
@airbender-dacyon AKA Mod Dan: A Kataang fanfic writer who prefers fluff, but also loves some drama and angst. Mod Dan started writing Kataang stories in 2013 and has helped organize Kataang Week since 2016.
@cabbageslost AKA Mod Cabby: She first watched AtLA with her teens following Covid, and has been rooting for Kataang ever since.
Kataang Week is also being hosted by @dailykataang on Twitter again this year!
The most common ways to participate are by creating art or writing a fic and posting it online. Some people try and create something for every day while others only fill one or two prompts.
As always, we want to reassure you that it’s perfectly okay not to do every prompt! We just hope to have lovely pieces to share on each day.
But I can’t draw or write!
That’s totally fine - there are more ways to participate! You can sing a song, create a graphic, write a poem - just about anything really. You can also show your support by reblogging and liking other people’s contributions.
The following will be the running order for Kataang Week 2025:
Date Night* - Monday, July 28th
Tui & La/Oma & Shu - Tuesday, July 29th
Bridgerton AU - Wednesday, July 30th
Aging/Growing Old* - Thursday, July 31st
Forbidden/Scandal* - Friday, August 1st
Dancing - Saturday, August 2nd
Roaring Twenties/1920s AU - Sunday, August 3rd
Free Day** - Monday, August 4th
* These prompts have been shortened in name but were originally First Date/Republic City Date Night, Adult Kataang & Old Kataang/Growing Old Together, and "We shouldn't be doing this" (Forbidden Kiss/Love) & Scandal, respectively during voting. You can interpret them as singular or separate prompts and incorporate one or both for each day.
** And as always, there is a Free Day at the end of the week. You can use this day to post anything you’d like! It can be a prompt that didn’t receive enough votes or something you’ve been wanting to work on, anything goes!
How should I tag my work?
The easiest way for us to find your work so we can reblog it to this blog is by using the tag “kataang week”. Using “kataang” and “kataangtag” also help. You must tag one of the three in your first five tags otherwise it doesn’t appear in the search. It is also helpful to tag us directly with @kataang-week.
Sometimes even properly tagged posts may not appear when we search the tags, so if you do not see your content reblogged, please let us know.
Once we’ve reblogged it to this blog we add our own tags (a prompt tag and a user tag) for easy organization. This means we can find all the work for one prompt or all the work from one user in one easy click (this also means that if you have changed your username since participating last year you need to let us know so we can update your tag!).
Can I post my stuff other places online too?
For those of you who will be posting your works on AO3, feel free to add your fic to our AO3 collection.
Why six weeks? Is that enough time?
Traditionally, we like to provide our content creators seven to eight weeks to create quality content. Kataang Week is also traditionally held in the last week of July. There were delays this year, apologies again. We intend to be on track next year to give everyone ample time to create content.
If you are unable to complete a prompt in time, please do not fret. You can alert this blog by mentioning it in your post (ex. @kataang-week) or messaging one of the mods and your content will still be shared even if it is a week (or a month - or sometimes more!) late.
We also like to post WIP for Kataang Week and encourage everyone else to do so as well - we reblog it here for motivation!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to send an ask. Don’t forget to reblog this as well to help spread the word!
Good luck, Kataangers, and happy content creating! 😊
