I still prefer Kataang to Zutara. Not because I'm actually invested in the ship, but because I've always found Zutara to be boring (oh wow fire/water and angst? Groundbreaking) and its shippers to be obnoxious (this includes a large chunk of my friends, oops).

I hate Zutara. I don't intensely ship Aang and Katara, but I'm okay with the idea of them drifting apart for a while and then getting back together as adults.

I'd heard about Zutara before I watched the show, and all the claims that 'it made more sense' and that the ship was robbed and what have you. Only to watch the show and not really understand where those claims were coming from, like I could sort of get it a bit after Katara forgives Zukko, but prior to that she hates him with such fury that any kind of romance would have been a monumental amount of work to do. Even Aang doesn't hate Zukko as much and he was Zukko's target for 80% of the show.

This, entirely.

Zutara doesn't work for me because I can only see it as selfshipping by using Katara as a proxy. Even if she's written IC. Sorry, that's not Katara, that's you giving yourself Katara's name and personality to ship yourself with Zuko. Which is fine, but it doesn't interest me.

Zutara isn't the only ship I get that vibe from, but it's a big one.

+1 That's the vibe I always got too.

I think 12/14 and 14/16 are both squicky age pairings.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-02 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Man, I am so old and removed from any children in my life that I had to actually think through that one because a two year age gap seems barely noticeable now. But I do dimly remember it seeming huge as a child/adolescent.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-02 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
100% agreed... In real life. In an animated fantasy show, IDC.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-02 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
My parents had a nine year age gap so. Two years isn't squicky IMO.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-02 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Two years is a non-issue between adults, but when you're still a tween/teen someone who is just a few years older can have a big maturity difference. It's why a highschool freshman dating someone in middle school would be seen as COCSA and otherwise inappropriate.

But that's in real life. I just can't bring myself to care when it comes to fictional characters. I shipped Ash and Misty from Pokemon as a kid under the impression Misty was 12/13.

Zutara just never made sense to me and the fans were so aggressive and annoying. Like, I wasn't invested in Kataang either, but I could understand it was the endgame and I just could not understand how so many people could get SO up in arms about how obviously a ship with no apparent canon reason to exist would come out on top.
