Ooh, loving that Top 5 Katara Moments asks of yours.. how about the Top 5 moments of her adoring Sifu hotman this time? 👀
Thank you for the ask, and I’m so glad you loved the Top 5 Katara Moments! This one’s tricky with not much time left in the series after she forgives him, but I think I can find five moments of Katara adoring Zuko (if we’re being a little loose with the term adore lol)
1. Katara is the first to notice Zuko not in the hug and invites him in
-She does this so easily, like it was never a question, but she also gives him a reason. It’s a “this is just what we do,” and it gives him room to not have to face an internal struggle with companionship and trust.
2. I wish I could add tone to gifs, because when Katara thinks this is Zuko she absolutely melts at his baby picture
-(and admits to teasing him, which is my favorite love language tbh)
3. I mean this whole sequence is so soft, but pay special attention to the body language and expression here
-Because she has been down that road with Zuko, there’s no doubt in her mind that Iroh will forgive him. She’s smiling, then she tilts her head down, and it’s just SO knowing that Zuko, who has been slouched and defeated, now has the strength to sit up taller. It’s a respect that she would meet him at his level and have faith in him, and it shows his respect in her that he believes the words.
4. Katara notices Zuko’s unease and, assuming it’s about the impending fight, reassures him of their abilities as a team
-Without him saying a word, she picks up on the tension and tries to comfort him. It’s not a comfort like with a child. She’s strong and confident in them, and it conveys in how she speaks to him as an equal.
-I think this one speaks for itself.
