Okay, Zutara Headcanon Time

Druk was the first one to know that Katara was pregnant, even before Katara herself or Zuko found out. He got super protective of Katara and used to cuddle next to her stomach all the time. And even though Katara wasn't aware of the reason for this sudden show of affection she welcomed it because Druk was quite young and tiny at the time and it was like having heating pad on her belly.

The first time Zuko and Katara realised something strange was going on with him was during one of their friendly sparring sessions when Druk hissed at Zuko and became very overprotective of Katara and refused to calm down till Katara reassured him that Zuko wasn't actually trying to hurt her. They didn't figure out why Druk was acting like that until Toph accidentally congratulated them a month later.

#zutara #zuko #katara #god I've missed them #I had exams going on and I just kept creating new headcanon instead of studying #I'm glad I can finally write them down now #headcanon #my zutara headcanon #or druk hc

Air Temple Island, the Water Tribes & the Real Life Influences that bring them together

I was gonna screenshot a post I saw and add it to my post but I don’t feel like giving that individual attention (and the 300+ notes they got), so I just decided to make my own standalone post debunking this narrative that air temple island is this fully air nomad brothel (yes they said this) with ZERO water tribe motifs which katara is forced to live in until aang passed away.

frankly it just reminded me of how little people in this fandom actually bother to analyze the actual content, instead preferring to write entirely made up scenarios of katara being reduced to an air nomad incubator along with dozens other female acolytes (yes they also said this lmao. also them acting like both male AND female acolytes weren’t living on the whole other side of the island 😭)

when in truth, i’ve come to find a lot of elements of both water tribes as well as traditional inuit elements across air temple island:

1. the paifang

a traditionally chinese element that for some reason is exclusively found in the northern water tribe (why do they have a gate inside a throne room, you ask? ask the white people that made this show). the one on the left is actually one of two aang BUILT, at the main entrance and another at the temple entrance. this is just one example of water tribe design on the island.

2. the bagua mosaic

another structure is the bagua mosaic on the training grounds. bagua is a set of traditional chinese symbols of the cosmology, taoism. the bagua composes of 8 sets of broken or unbroken lines that represent yin and yang. where have we seen yin and yang in the original series? oh yeah, as tui and la of the water tribe! (because atla is a mess of asiatic and indigenous motifs joined together and spread out across each nation, mainly traditionally chinese elements at that.) aang building this right next to the air nomad training grounds is a symbol of the dual bending heritage their children will have.

3. gold and blue accents

now, gold and blue are the main colors of the exterior structures but is also very strong inside the air temple itself. note, the massive air nomad symbol designed fully in blue in the center and the blue banners and rugs throughout the temple. this is no doubt, for me, a visual depiction of both katara and aang’s representative cultures, but of course this is not limited to color only.

4. cloud carvings

now, this is a slight detour since clouds aren’t a significant part of either of their individual cultures (that we know) but i love the kataang monopoly they have on clouds as a couple so i’m talking about it. if you look at these images very closely what do you see? CLOUD CARVINGS!! specifically near the ceiling of the pavilion (left) and the arches and walls of the temple (right) just imagining aang painting and etching these very consistent swirls, like he’ll never be the selfish inconsiderate unromantic loser you people want him to be, but let’s get more into the southern water tribe style interior.

5. interior design

so here is a southern water tribe white lotus outpost vs the air temple island main dining room. first thing, the seat cushions and rug! while we don’t see air nomad eating quarters we do get to see enough SWT customs both in atla and lok, to know this is how they traditionally eat compared to the north (limiting myself on pics cuz mobile).

another thing is the dining table itself. both have what i believe to be built in fire pits (i couldn’t actually tell for the air temple island one cuz of the quality but if you zoom in you can see the lines go in the table plus the hanging kettle on it makes it obvious to me idk). the southern water tribe one however is clear and likely a more traditional version of what aang and katara have.

thirdly, the exposed timber on the ceiling. i actually looked it up and found this is a common element of these two inuit structures: left is an aasiaat peat house and right is an igloolik turf house. all this for me to believe not only did aang build air temple island to be a haven for the TWO of them but also that katara herself had a lot of input on the interior than people care to notice lol.

maybe instead of projecting these loser fantasies of katara being some unwilling air nomad baby making machine so you can feel better about your fantasies of katara living in a red palace with people that tried to wipe her out for a whole century, you all can go study the actual canon you were shown and the real life cultures the franchise takes from.

6. lastly, some of my own headcanons/stuff i want to see in the movie

the bathroom because I LIVE for a white marble tiled bathroom. i just know katara has to have a HUGE tub and they have one of those insane glass showers that can fit like 3 people, with cloud swirls everywhere because aang clearly got it like that

the KITCHEN, i imagine it being timber like the dining room and is probably on the other side behind the built-in shelf (get into the details like hello). in a perfect world, it would be open plan but hey

the bedroom, now we saw it in lok a bit but i wanna see it in the gaang movie too. i’m on pic limit but there’s a lot of artwork and flowers throughout the whole house which i give katara credit for because I can. like the desk, the bookshelf, that fancy looking vase thing? these two clearly have taste like don’t talk to me rn

I also didn’t show the rooms and aang’s study but there’s a lot of blue decor in those places which makes me think katara decorated the whole house, even the acolytes’ hall has blue sitting cushions and columns which i think is such a nice detail.

if you guys have any air temple island headcanons of your own please reply with some i’m feening lol

big shoutout to this user:

atla-annotated (their page is so great and filled with a lot of incredible information if you guys like this sort of stuff)

Sokka: This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them

Kiyi is the only addition from the comics that I'm willing to acknowledge, however, I will happily ignore everything else abt her story. Instead she is Ozai's daughter and protecting her was what kept Ursa in hiding, at least until a year after the war when Zuko and Katara show up for The Southern Raiders pt 2: Electric Boogaloo.

#zuko's redesign stems from my headcanon that after trying to be like his predecessors for a hot minute #he ultimately realises that another Sozin/Azulon/Ozai is not the answer so he kinda de-militarises his royal outfits to represent that #(also all i can think abt when i see comic zuko is him going sideways to get through doorways)#so bye bye big military-style shoulderpads and hello soft flowing robes #also no more bangs because what were they thinking #i have a fic idea where zutara find Ursa and Kiyi with prisoner Azula's help only for a landslide to seperate them right after reuniting #zk and Ursa on one side and Azula and Kiyi on the other #so Azula is faced with a LOT #does she escape? does she take revenge on Ursa by leaving Kiyi defenseless?#she has a whole crisis but ultimately protects Kiyi and returns her to Ursa even though it sacrifices her only chance at freedom #this action doesn't redeem her or spare her the consequences of her past actions but it does start her on that journey #zuko #kiyi #my posts #atla #atla fanart #my art #gonna add zutara cos this does allude to a zutara au i have in mind even though it isn't strictly speaking abt zk themselves #zutara

Adding to the fluff pile.

But what do you think Katara's engadgement necklace would be?

I like the idea of a turtleduck pendant made of black glass from Ember Island with a blue ribbon :3

aww that's super cute! i'm more of a "zuko gives katara a crown to symbolize their engagement" person (i like having him carve necklaces just for angst usually lmao) but i'm also a big fan of the ember island pendant. something about zuko wanting to use the place where they first became friends and put their past behind them to create a symbolic representation of their future just makes my little heart warm.

thank you for this fluffy ask! <3

So, apparently a few antis think that there is some unified "Zutara Canon" that Zutara shippers must adhere to...I didn't know this. Guys! What is Zutara canon? Please tell me what's been canonized because I won't get any sleep otherwise.

"How did you get this scar?" prompt for Zutara please

Hello dear!! 💜Thank you for the prompt.

Instead of going for the obvious here, let's roll with the headcanon of Katara's hands being scarred even after she heals them when Aang burns her, cool?

How did you get this scar?

The dying embers of the campfire crackled and popped, barely discernible over the crash of the waves. It was late, far too late for a firebender to be awake, but Zuko refused to go to bed until everyone else had.

And something was keeping Katara up tonight.

Everyone else had wandered back up to the Summer Palace an hour ago, but she still sat, knees drawn to her chest, eyes glazed over and fixed on some imaginary point over the fire.

Zuko tried to be patient, tried to fight back all the burning questions rising within him, but one slipped out.

"How did you get that scar?"

The worst question possible.

Katara's focus snapped to him. "Sorry?"

He gestured to the thin line on her right cheek, nearly invisible and faded with age. "That scar, what's it from?"

Katara studied him, her features carefully neutral save for her flitting gaze. "When we were little, Sokka got a little enthusiastic with a fishing hook."

"Ah." He clears his throat, opens his mouth, but nothing comes out, so he closes it. Katara stares at him meaningfully for another minute before abruptly standing and coming to sit beside him.

She hesitated a moment before taking his right hand in hers. He swallowed thickly.

"And this one?" He traced his left finger along her arm, where another thin jagged line marred her skin. "How did you get this scar?"

She shivered and scooted closer to him.

"Earning my right to learn to waterbend."

A million more questions jumped to the tip of his tongue at her cryptic answer, but what came out instead was, "And the scars on your hands?"

The air around them became thick with her silence. At last, she shrugged.

"The first time Aang tried to learn firebending, he didn't exercise control or restraint." She gave him another full look. "He's learned so much from you."

Zuko shook his head. "But he should have-"

"It's fine, Zuko." She smiled. "That was when I learned I had healing abilities."

"Oh. So... they don't hurt anymore?"

She shook her head. Slowly, so she could still pull away if she wished, he kissed each of the scars on the back of her hands, delicately turning them over to kiss the marks on her palms.

"You could ask me about mine," he said.

"Do you want me to ask?"

"No," he huffed. "But I would tell you."

She smiled and cupped his cheek. "I want to hear it when you're ready to tell me without asking."

"It could be a long time before I'm ready for that."

"That's okay." She kissed his marred cheek, just along the seam of the scar. "I'm hoping you'll be in my life a long time, anyways."

Send me a prompt and a pairing!

#I really love the headcanon of Katara having hand scars #And lets be real #growing up with Sokka #they'd both have a few more too #Thanks for the prompt dear!#stardust948 #my writing #zutara #zutara ficlet #soft angst prompt #send me a prompt

Squid Whales

Okay, I just saw some artwork about the "Original Benders" in Avatar: The Last Airbender and was reminded of two facts:

1: There are no original waterbenders like there are for Fire, Earth and Air.

I know that Tui and La are referred to as such, but they are actually the source of waterbending, just like the sun is the source for firebending. (They are also Spirits, unlike all other original benders)

Airbenders have Sky Bison.

Earthbenders have Badger Moles.

Firebenders have Fire Breathing Dragons!

Waterbenders don't have anything like that.

2: Squid Whales (who could be the original waterbenders) aren't actually canon.

And I really wish they were.

Anyway, here are some squid whales I drew months ago:

Betrothal Necklace -- Zutara Headcanon

Ok, this definitely can't be a new Zutara headcanon, but if we suppose that Kanna gave her son her betrothal necklace to gift to Kya when he proposed (kind of Crazy Rich Asians style, but without the prior disapproval), wouldn't it make sense for Katara to gift it to Zuko when they get married? Of course, she might not want to give away the only thing she has left of her mother, so I'd still adore the idea of her carving one for him. I always read fics with Sokka doing it for Suki, and you CANNOT tell me it's only a guy-to-girl thing. You know Zuko's devoted, sentimental butt would wear that necklace literally everywhere. We're talking about the boy who kept his uncle's smelly slipper for no discernible reason other than pure sentiment. The jerk-hole war ministers and advisors gasping scandalously would really just be the cherry on top. Also, Katara would love it. Claiming a tradition historically reserved for Northern Water Tribe men? Getting the chance to further share her family's traditions/culture with Zuko and the rest of the Fire Nation? Sign her the egg up!

in my mind Zuko and Katara were definitely together as teenagers but that shit got #toxic real fast and that was what finally did it for Zuko he was like “shit I’m gay and I have been this whole time?”

anyway they broke up but stayed besties and Katara rekindled the thing she had with Aang and then Zuko and Sokka got together.

But what I’m saying is

Things weren’t awkward between Zuko and Katara weirdly

But between SOKKA and Katara??

YIKESSSSS

Katara the selfcare queen

Every canon instance or mention (that i can rmr) of Katara indulging in selfcare in the middle of a war because I find it quite amusing yet fascinating.

I may or may not have made a post like this before but I wanted to expand on it.

1. Skincare routine

In 1x14, The Fortuneteller, Katara reveals she has a special seaweed lotion that she carries with her for soft skin. (Avatar Extras also made a point of saying that it smells…?) She even offers to get Aunt Wu some, as if she has extra. So my question is, who is this plug that she gets her steady supply of seaweed lotion from? 😭

Real-life: Seaweed has been used in skincare for thousands of years, first recorded in ancient Chile. Nowadays, seaweed extract is pretty common in skincare products especially from emerging brands in Nunavik and Iqaluit, Canada.

My headcanon: This is probably a recipe Katara picked up from the older women of her tribe, so she just plucks some seaweed whenever the gaang stops by a body of water. And she definitely makes it in cute glass jars and shares it with her fellow healers in the Republic City Hospital ✨selfcare queen✨

2. Spa Day

I just find this funny because when and how did she even find this spa? How long has she been going by herself? Look how comfortable she is like dhjfjcd she’s definitely a regular and they all know her.

Real-life: Saunas are pretty modern, starting up in Finland around 1112. (In canon, I think a firebender and a waterbender run a sauna in Republic City so hey.) Mudbaths on the other hand have been around for centuries and people have been doing it at any naturally occurring hot spring they can found. I don’t even have to tell you about massages so

My headcanon: Katara always knows where the spas and selfcare places are wherever they go. I definitely think she scooped up some stuff at the perfume abbey in season 1 (because she’s a kleptomaniac). I also headcanon she would have a spa setup in the back of Republic City Hospital because selfcare is healthcare too. Also, Aang gives her massages at home and he’s surprisingly good at it, but, Katara sucks at massages and Aang never lets her do it to him after that one time 💀

3. Yoga

In 3x11, Nightmares & Daydreams, Katara teaches Aang yoga to de-stress in a hot spring. My thing is, when did she learn about yoga and how often does she do it? We needed the Katara yoga mini shorts special. The kids would’ve loved it.

Real life: Yoga originating from ancient India is practised in a variety of forms in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. The poses they do are the Upward Salute and the Wide Legged Forward Bend.

My headcanon: I imagine Katara must have read about this at the Air Nomad Section of the Spirit Library, given the cultural heritage. Knowing her she found a yoga scroll and swiped it (can you say klepto?). This is another selfcare thing she does with Aang because it’s his culture! They do it every Saturday until he starts complaining about his old bones 😅

4. Hair care

Katara also wears a special cap on her head when doing yoga which I assume is to protect her hair from the steam 🤔 I just found it very interesting since we hardly see her hair covered. Then I also realized Katara is the only character shown actually combing her hair and styling it like 4 times: from the bun-braid, to the formal earth kingdom look, to her fire nation look and finally the bun with her hair out.

Real life: I typed so many things and I finally found something similar called a chinoiserie satin skull cap? (sorry pic limit). It’s similar in design and even has a tassel like Katara’s. Focusing on her hairstyles, the signature “hair loopies” are actually based on a traditional Inuit style known as qilliqti and her earth kingdom look is based on a traditional Manchurian style called liangbatou.

My headcanon: Like Katara’s mysterious seaweed lotion recipe, she probably makes several haircare products for herself, and has a major hair routine. So, it would make sense she wears protective caps from time to time. I also think both Hama and Katara are tied to the myth of Senna, the Inuit sea goddess, through the comb Katara uses which I headcanon is the identical comb Hama had in her home (again klepto).

If there’s any more selfcare moments I left out, please feel free to share or reply with your own Katara ✨selfcare queen✨ headcanons!

Look, I really dont want to come off as kink shaming you or anything at all like that, but you’ve been putting out some seriously problematic rhetoric you need to address. I don’t know what your issue is, but you talk about the characters, especially Zuko, in an EXTREMELY racist way. I know people’s kinks don’t reflect their values a and I’m not trying to say you’re racist. But you should put more thought into how you’re portraying Zuko. It’s really infantilizing and violent, which are both very negative stereotypes against Asian men. Zuko is a very empowering character for the East Asian community and the way fans feminize and demean him really takes away from the fact that he’s a great representation in western media of a masculine and sexually desirable Asian man. I’m not saying to stop writing by any means but you should be more balanced maybe. And maybe take more care to show he has some control in the situation because often it feels like misrepresenting kink. I would recommend doing research into both topics, especially in regards to Asian issues and media representation do you can be more sensitive in the future. Also I really don’t want to sound anti feminist or anything but…the misandry is coming pretty strong from you if you aren’t aware. Feminism isn’t about putting down men, and you seem a bit…fixated on that. Not that it isn’t fine in a kinky way sometimes but again…it’s a bit much? I just think you go about topics in extremely problematic and harmful ways and you should consider the impact of that rhetoric, especially as it impacts marginalized identities and communities

I want to lock Zuko in a dog kennel and force feed him my period blood
