He knows exactly how it's supposed to work, is the thing. He just made a critical miscalculation on the weight front. He is very new and physical existence is very complicated, he is doing his best.
when i go in a room and forget what i needed i become a point and click protagonist. [water bottle?] that’s not helpful right now. [socks?] i don’t know what to do with that. [charger?] that’s not helpful right now. [scissors?] i can’t do anything with that. [water bottle?] that’s not helpful right now. [lone paperclip?] that’s not helpful right now. [water bottle?]
always thought that it was crazy other folks with adhd couldn't focus on podcasts when i was totally immune from that issue
then quarantine happened, i stopped driving long distances every day, and you will never fucking believe what I learned I can't do
Wait. Do people just sit down and have a podcast without any other sides, like it's a full meal? Podcast is something you ADD to other activity. That's like eating a bowl of cilantro and going "mmm yummy salad"
I drew them fighting back to back to show that these two are always relying on each other, they both are strong benders and can stand for themselves, but also ready to protect each other at any moment 🧡💙

🦇So how does this work?
Choose your own adventure! You can take inspiration from the Trick prompts, Treat prompts, or both! Feel free to mix and match prompts to create spooky and/or sweet Kataang content.
Anything you can think of counts as content as long as you fill one or multiple prompts at a time. Fanfics, fanart, gifsets, metas, edits, playlists, moodboards, music, etc.—the sky's the limit.
🦇What are the rules?
Please create your own original pieces. We do not accept AI-made fanworks.
We only accept new works created for Kataang Halloween, not works that are retroactively said to be created for Kataang Halloween. However, you may create something that fills a Kataang Halloween prompt for an ongoing work like a chapter fic or an ongoing series. See this ask for more information.
We accept all range of works. However, bear in mind that this is an all-ages event. If your work contains themes or imagery that may be intended for older audiences, tag and warn people thoroughly. Works with adult content must have an all-ages appropriate preview.
Do not repost other people's works. Reblog their original post if one exists.
If a creator/author/artist has requested you to post their work for them, remember to credit the original and link back to their page.
Be respectful in your fanworks and to others participating or enjoying the event.
🦇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 halloween”. 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?
Of course you can! However, we won’t be able to reblog anything that isn’t a Tumblr post.
For those of you who will be posting your works on AO3, feel free to add your fic to our Kataang Halloween AO3 collection.
🦇What if I have late submissions for Kataang Week 2024?
While we will not reblog any late submissions for Kataang Week 2024 during the Kataang Halloween event, late submissions for Kataang Week 2024 will still be accepted up until Kataang Week 2025, so don’t be shy and don’t worry about giving the world more Kataang content 💖 We always welcome it!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to submit an ask to the Kataang Week blog. See you on Halloween, Kataangers!

I think many people misinterpret the ending of atla. The point is not romance, the show is not saying that the most important thing is that Katara and Aang kiss. No, it represents something much more beautiful than that.
The sunset is peaceful and beautiful, and Aang walks out by himself to enjoy it. Just to, enjoy it and breathe it in.
Katara walks out beside him and joins him in the peaceful moment, looking at him with love in her eyes and vice versa.
They embrace, uniting physically in a bond that was built over months and months of affection and trust. But the war, like the lovers of Omashu, divided them.
They couldn’t enjoy this beautiful sunset before, they couldn’t embrace and take a deep breath in one another’s arms fully because of the war, but now they can.
And finally, the two kiss, solidifying their romantic relationship, one that was not able to happen because there was so much pressure on one another to win the war, and there was always that mutual fear that they would lose one another.
But the war can’t take any more from them now. It took Aang’s people and it took Katara’s mother, it took their childhoods and friends along the way, but they made it through. So they hold each other tight, and they don’t let go.
The camera pans up to the beautiful sunset, not just an end to a devastating war, but the beginning of a new era of love and peace, one where two kids can finally kiss and love freely. That is when the end title fades in, marking the finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
