can someone explain to me how muses and shit work? because usually i submit an ask and then they'll be all like "don't tell my muses what to do" and then i'll be like i submitted a prompt. Do I just tell the chick what to do and not the guy? or just the guy and not the chick? or does it have to be super vague? i'm so confused.

and we all know what Aang really wanted from Katara because as soon as he got Tenzin it was like, "See you later other two kids."
That's why I always say that Aang's true goal was to bang Katara. No reason to sugarcoat it. He thought she was pretty. Never bothered to learn or understand her. And kept having kids until he got the one he wanted.
But don't kill Ozai, because then the Fire Nation would really have wiped out your culture.
Help. I wanted to write a broken, misguided, almost-but-not-quiet-villain Aang, but my hand slipped and I am turning the Kataang relationship in my fic into an absolute fucking nightmare T_T I just didn't want the characters to be so black-and-white, you know, but the longer I write, the more this turns into a story about emotional abuse. Now I'm trying to kind of do both angles.
It doesn't have to be a choice. The thing about most abusers is that they aren't outright villains. A lot of them are very charming, fun, and smart. A lot of them are pillars of the community, and even genuinely believe in their causes. But they are also selfish, possessive and think that their partners are an extension of themselves. Maybe Aang doesn't think he thinks that of Katara. Maybe he thinks the way he treats her is normal until it's pointed out. Maybe he tries to course correct, but then backtracks because he thinks he's losing her because she did her makeup or hair in a new way that gets her compliments from other men.
If you're writing from Katara's POV, maybe she still sees the sweet, fun loving boy she met a long time ago. Maybe she blames herself for being too quick to jump to anger for him lashing out and tries to fix herself. Maybe she thinks if she does everything he needs -keep his schedule, cook his meals, take on all the domestic and childcare labor- he can focus on being the best Avatar/whatever his career is in this fic. The thing about abuse is there's a lot of rationalizing going on on both ends. After all, no one goes into a relationship thinking their s/o is going to turn out to be a monster. And a lot of times, they don't even see how bad it was until well after they leave. If you're worried you're making this relationship too one note, ask yourself why Katara hasn't left yet. Or why it's taken this long for her to decide to leave.

Maybe he thinks the way he treats her is normal until it's pointed out.
And how would he know any different? His people don't believe in relationship like that. They were freaking monks who lived in temples separated by sex and didn't have "traditional" family units. He would be just making shit up. His relationship with Katara would go against his people's teachings, but that's okay? But going against his people's teachings to save the world is not okay? So he just gets to pick and choose what part of his people's teachings he has to follow?
God I hate kataang

not my meme but you all do know about this right? It feels like it's getting buried right now and I feel like its proponents are trying to take advantage of that.

What Aang’s Relationship With His Kids Tells Us About His Relationship With Katara
Bumi: “Oh, boo-hoo. Must've been real hard for you, flying around the world with dad, riding elephant-koi all day.”
Tenzin: “Oh, so that's what this is all about.”
Kya: “That's what it's always been about. You think you're some savior who has to carry on dad's legacy.”
Tenzin: “Who else is going to do it?”
Kya: “How about all of us?”
Bumi: “Yeah, we're Aang's kids too.”
The whole problem with this family is, Aang didn’t believe that.
Aang has a long, undeviating track record of never questioning anything he believes about the Air Nomads. Who the hell has a perfect and complete understanding of their society, government, international relations, education system, religion, morality, genetics, and reproduction at age 12? According to Aang? He does.
The entire lynchpin of Aang’s Book 3 arc is all about how Air Nomads are pacifists and cannot ever under any circumstances harm a life. (We’re going to ignore the body count Aang’s already wracked up over the first two seasons for the sake of preserving his feelings because those were soulless NPCs or something.)
And yet Aang never questions this…
Monk Gyatso’s bones surrounded by a pile of Fire Nation soldier bones. The picture doesn’t fit Aang’s image of Air Nomad peace and harmony, so he ignores it entirely. It NEVER comes up despite its overwhelming relevance to Aang’s internal conflict and the sorts of advice he seeks from authority figures in the third season (despite Monk Gyatso being the penultimate authority figure in Aang’s life).
Another thing Aang never questions?
There’s no such thing as a non-airbending Air Nomad. They’re just all born that spiritual. And spirituality is the golden key that unlocks bending. (Because Bryke said so.)
Despite Guru Pathik not being a bender. Despite the fact that Zhao, literal spirit murderer, is one. Despite Toph—the most un-spiritual, cynical, feet-on-the-ground-head-nowhere-near-the-clouds member of Aang’s friend group—being the most powerful bender of the lot. Despite Hama being a waterbender equal to none but Katara while completely cut off from her culture and turning her back on everything we believe about water bending’s inherent ties to community, connectedness, and love (Iroh’s words). Despite Azula mastering the god-tier lightning technique BECAUSE she’s practically dead inside and values life least of all things. Despite the fact that Princess Yue has the literal MOON SPIRIT THAT IS THE SOURCE OF ALL WATERBENDING living inside her, and yet she still somehow manages to not be a bender.
Despite the fact that Air Nomads roam all over the world, sewing their wilds oats throughout every nation, yet no airbending toddlers ever crop up in Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom preschools.
Despite the fact that non-monogamous societies where men have multiple partners father more children and boost the population faster than in societies that favor “attached” relationships, yet the all-airbending Air Nomads still somehow have the smallest population of any ethnic group in the world.
Despite the fact that Aang’s twin, Ty Lee, is RIGHT. THERE. with her unparalleled aura-seeing, chakra blocking spirituality and her GRAY EYES in a world where color coding is ~totally~ not a thing… *sigh*
But nope. Air Nomad parentage = airbending child. Always.
So when Katara births a child that is… not an airbender? Not any kind of bender at all, in fact. There’s only one logical conclusion (in Aang’s mind).
That is not Aang’s child.
Aang never had a problem traveling with non-airbenders before. He was non-exclusionary by nature. Katara and Toph and Zuko were welcome. Sokka and Suki were welcome. The more, the merrier, in fact. Because Aang loves nothing as much as he loves an adoring audience.
Yet Bumi never travelled with Aang.
Bumi’s as old in this picture as Aang was in the first series. He had an entire decade in which he should have been the most important thing in his parents’ lives. His personality was already more or less formed (not completed, but the groundwork was laid) by the time Tenzin came along. Bumi’s inferiority issues began long before there were any airbending children around to siphon Aang’s attention for training purposes.
Aang and Katara didn’t have another child until Bumi was on the verge of adolescence because Aang was convinced that Katara cheated. And I’m guessing it took Mr. “Let Your Anger Out, And Then Let It Go” about ten years to forgive his wife and give her the chance to get it right. (Which is at least four years longer than he gave her to forgive her mother’s murderer, in case you forgot.)
Acolyte: “Sorry, I thought you were the servants.”
Bumi: “We’re Tenzin’s brother and sister!”
Acolyte: “Avatar Aang had other children? The world is filled with more airbenders?!”
Kya: “We’re not airbenders.”
Acolyte: “Oh… I’m so sorry.”
The Air Acolytes—whose whole identity, purpose, lifestyle, and religion center around every detail of this man's life and beliefs—didn't know Aang had more than one child.
The best case scenario here is that Aang simply pretended his older children didn’t exist because he was ashamed of them and made Katara keep them shut away at all times.
And maybe that could have worked… If Aang and Katara had ever had any privacy in their relationship. But they didn’t.
The Air Acolytes have been following Aang and Katara since the comics. They’ve been there at every step of Aang and Katara’s life together. Observing. Fangirling. Emulating. Diefying. Looking for weaknesses in the relationship because Katara was only his “first girlfriend.”
Yet, somehow, they didn’t know Aang had three children.
I can’t imagine a way for them not to know unless Aang actively told people, “Those aren’t my kids,” and let Katara bear the shame and stigma of having the world believe she was unfaithful.
All because Aang couldn't entertain the idea that he was wrong about some facet of a society he never understood clearly.
