Twelve year gap? What? Zuko was 16 in the original series, Katara was 14. That's just two years, same as Katara and Aang.

I'm not a Zutarian and I'm pretty okay with Kataang, but I think the problem people are having with their ages isn't the numbers, but that Aang seems pretty prepubescent, but Katara doesn't. They're both so young it's not a huge problem, but I think some people who are/were teenage girls are sort of confused about how she would be attracted to him when he's still so childlike. But they're not normal kids, and it would probably be a while before it went there or anything, so it's not that weird to me.

I meant two, lol. I just can't type today... |D

Yeah, agreed. I think she liked him, but she wasn't physically attracted to him until later, which, IMO, is a valid way to go about things. (Not that other ways aren't valid, but that this is also valid, you know?)

[drunken-clowns.livejournal.com]

I agree. And you don't sound like you're being weird about what is and isn't valid, don't worry.

[loracarol.livejournal.com]

Oh, good, I was worried. ^^;

... but I think some people who are/were teenage girls are sort of confused about how she would be attracted to him when he's still so childlike.

That is probably my biggest obstacle to Kataang, personally. I can't think of Aang, as we saw him throughout AtLA, being in a relationship with anyone. Kid with a crush? Totally (because that's what he was). Teenage girl reciprocating prepubescent boy's crush? Eh...*cringe* My headcanon is that they got together at the end of the show, then realized they didn't really know what to do or where to go with that relationship, wind up splitting up and doing their own things and/or just being friends for a while, and then becoming romantically involved in their late teens or twenties for real this time. I openly would have preferred Zutara, but if that's how Kataang's relationship really went, I could totally get on board with it. (Seeing Aang's adult design in LoK also helps.)

But then I also really hate stories of "we met when we were kids and had true love ever after~~" It always seems so over-sentimental and unrealistic. Even when the young kids in question have world-saving adventures together... that always seems like rationale for life-long friendships or at least camaraderie, definitely, but not necessarily decades of romantic interest. =\

I enjoy your head canon immensely. ^_^

Hm, I think you might be understating the importance of that sense of partnership, for some people (probably these characters, since it worked out for them) it seems like it's a necessary thing to have. Especially if you've been through something huge together that's a defining moment in your life, and it's really important that the people close to you would get it?

I like your Kataang headcanon! Mine's that it's a "marry someone you like, and romantic love will come" type thing at least on Katara's side, and it worked out really well for her.
