I might not like the movie but I love their design.

I read somewhere that Katara had secret healing sessions with Zuko so... ;D

[bekazimi]

And of course I had to draw Zutara too

im begging the zutara fandom to ship with no regrets; i see so many posts by zutara shippers being like "i respect the canon but" or "the live action will probably follow the canon and that's okay but" and its like fuck the canon. lol zutara is better than the canon. ship that shit proudly. this fandom didn't last two decades because us og shippers cared about what bryke thought lol

For so long, when I saw the face of the enemy… it was your face. - No matter how much you hate this face, Katara… I hate it more. - It's not what I see now. I see someone in pain.

The way Zuko was running towards Katara and the way they look at each other when the Dai Li calls out to separate them 🥺

POV ur reading a fic where toph can feel that katara is sneaking out as the painted lady every night (and zuko is also sneaking out as the blue spirit and then they inevitably eventually meet up and do hot vigilante stuff) (except its not a fic this is the legit context for this conversation in the show) (and its awesome)

[this-is-a-witty-url]

i swear to god they ripped this out of a fanfic, like did they read the entire ao3 archive and was like; yes, this. this goes in. lol

outside of people liking zutara for whatever chemistry reasons they do, zuko and katara just look aesthetically pleasing together. if people want to ship them for simply that reason alone they’re more than allowed to. like even if all the good reasons that are out there to ship zutara didn’t exist, they’d still be two hot and incredibly powerful people. hot people should be together. that in of itself is a reason to ship them. a literal power couple. what other reason do you need?

Another thing I love that Natla is doing that feels pulled RIGHT from the Zutara fanon playbook is all the foreshadowing for political Katara

We get her negotiating so well with the Beifongs, taking the reins there to be the serious head

And we also get her at the helm of negotiations with the Earth King

It's so great that Ambassador Katara seems to be coming to life here too, like so many headcanons that aren't even necessarily shippy in nature are still being taken from the common fanon lore in the Zutara fandom and I love that so much

And I love it for our girl KATARA so much to be getting those hints to have a meaningful post-war legacy
