it will never not be bizarre to me that kat.aangers use the fortuneteller episode as foreshadowing for ka when literally every possible interpretation of this episode is anti kat.aang.
if aunt wu's prophecies are unquestionably true, then kat.aang is DOA right off the bat because she explicitly says she doesn't see romance in aang's future. yet kat.aangers love to uphold the “powerful bender” prophecy as foreshadowing for kat.aang so… which is it? are aunt wu’s prophecies only eternally binding for katara but conveniently untrue when it comes to aang? because if katara marrying a powerful bender is unchangeable, then so is aang not being able to find love, so that’s strike no. 1 for ka foreshadowing.
now on the other hand, if we take aunt wu's prophecies as false, then our boy aang is free to do all the lovin’ he wants… but following the same logic, so is katara. and since her prophecy is the catalyst for her seeing him as a potential romantic partner at all, that’s strike no. 2 for foreshadowing.
finally, we come to the last interpretation and the episode's actual message: that destiny is real, but not immutable. throughout the episode, it’s clear that aunt wu's prophecies do come true, though not in the way that their subject(s) might expect. the future isn’t created through passive acceptance, but active agency. everyone has the power to shape their own destiny, and make their own choices.
this is the complete opposite of katara beginning to view aang in a romantic light solely because sokka makes an entirely on-the-nose comment about him being a powerful bender. because had katara not heard her prophecy, that would have meant nothing to her! how is this meant to be the spark that fuels the kat.aang relationship when it's entirely based on katara holding herself to a prophesized future instead of writing her own story, and hence antithetical to the fundamental theme of the episode?
which is also why so many people interpret this episode to be lampshading zutara, because the only way that all of these contradictory interpretations — aang isn’t meant to find love, katara is meant to marry a powerful bender, but both of them still have the power to shape their own paths — make sense is if the final scene was an intentional red herring… but that’s a discussion for another time.

I still can't believe Fortnite made Zuko and Katara a bundle.
This goes in the Zutara hall of fame.

I feel like everyone in the church of the survivor should sit in their chairs backwards.
Because every time Kelsier sits down brandosando specifically writes that he sits down in his chair “the wrong way” like not once did that man sit down proper.
He has to do things the charismatic fun way.

Big Hero 7 The Series Update/Reboot Idea
It's been a while since I mentioned, drew, or even wrote about my fanfic Big Hero 7 The series
Now, I paused the story due to school, and lately, I’ve been thinking of re-writing my story and updating the designs and motives of my characters and the story as a whole. I realized a lot of missed potential my fanfic could have and I want to start rewriting it. But I want to know if you guys would be interested in this reboot. It would been refreshing my old fanfic and , with 20/20 hindsight, I archive my old posts and or create a new tag to differentiate the reboot from the old. Including my Big Hero 7 Blog I have still have lol
So that leaves the Question...

[id: a digital drawing of katara and zuko, from avatar: the last airbender, sitting around a campfire with a pot of soup cooking on it. katara is on the right, her arm on her knee and a hand raised. she’s smiling and a couple teal speech bubbles are pointed towards her mouth to imply she’s talking. she’s specifically talking to zuko, who is on the left of the campfire. he also has a grin on his face, and he has his legs crossed as the red speech bubble from his mouth implies he continues the conversation with katara. the campfire illuminates the scene surrounding theme, with bowls of soup in front of them, as well as zuko’s bag, and the foliage and forest behind. end id.]
what do you think they’re talking about?
@cardboardseagulls and i had that discussion about firebending and waterbending being useful for cooking and i had free time… so this happened. (please click for quality, tumblr is cruel)
here’s a bonus (i swear that’s soup, i just can’t draw soup)
[id: a simplistic drawing of zuko and katara from avatar: the last airbender cooking soup. katara has her arms raised as she bends the soup above their heads, and zuko is breathing fire to warm it. there’s yellow text that says “Cooking!” under them. end id.]
