tolerate it by taylor swift is one of the most (anti) kata/ng songs i think exists. let’s examine this shall we?

I sit and watch you I notice everything you do or don't do You're so much older and wiser, and I

a/ang is from another time and viewed as the definitive guide to morality within the show’s narrative. katara feels a lot of pressure to do as he does. she has to be the perfect wife for the avatar. she has to do what her husband does. it’s all about him.

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid Use my best colors for your portrait Lay the table with the fancy shit And watch you tolerate it

katara tries her best. she does chores all day, she gets everything ready for when a/ang gets back and... it doesn’t mean anything. she’s giving everything and he’s just not returning it.

If it's all in my head, tell me now Tell me I've got it wrong somehow I know my love should be celebrated But you tolerate it

she begins to question her doubts. she’s with the avatar and she should be happy. katara is told all the time that she’s so lucky, but her mind drifts back to things her father told her about how he loved her mother and she knows something isn’t adding up. she knows that her love is special, it’s unique, it is worth someone’s time, but a/ang isn’t giving his all like she is.

I greet you with a battle hero's welcome I take your indiscretions all in good fun I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn

katara’s giving him the divine treatment like his acolytes give him since she notices how excited he is around them, but he doesn’t even notice. she listens. she cleans. she goes above and beyond, yet it all means absolutely nothing.

While you were out building other worlds, where was I?

not getting a statue that’s what. katara loses her potential to create massive waves of change. she isn’t able to use her anger, her passion, her love. she is trapped, leaving a/ang to build this new world of peace without her.

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life Drawing hearts in the byline Always taking up too much space or time You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I

katara made him her everything. she gave up her culture for him. she gave up her entire life for him. it isn’t enough. she always feels like she’s just taking up space, an imperfect wife. she’s a trophy. she’s not doing anything. katara feels completely and utterly useless and a/ng doesn’t even notice it.

Break free and leave us in ruins Took this dagger in me and removed it Gain the weight of you, then lose it Believe me, I could do it

katara has finally had enough. she knows leaving a/ang will be hard and maybe even throw the world into a bit of chaos, but she has to take that chance. she’s taking the dagger out and somehow it makes everything easier. she’s ready to be free and she has the confidence to finally do it.

so... slightly more hopeful ending for katara than all too well lol.

#anti kataang #anti aang #anti bryke #this song gets me every single time #it is so sad #and unfortunately kind of relatable #also while you were out building other words where was i #that's all #just--#there is barely anything more accurate about lok katara than that
