Katara vs. Lapis Lazuli. Who Would Win?

I’ve been wanting to do some versus posts between characters from different fandoms. The characters I choose have similar powers to make things interesting. 

Although Katara is an extremely strong waterbender, I don’t think she would win.

Her control in water is smooth and strong, but Lapis is able to control the entire ocean as seen in season 1. Lapis also has wings that can take her as far as space. It’s possible Katara can use her abilities to travel upwards, though she wouldn’t be able to make it to space. 

Also, Lapis doesn’t have regular human blood, so Katara can’t use bloodbending to get an advantage.

Winner: Lapis Lazuli

What are your thoughts? 

Comment any characters with similar powers that I can analyze. 

Thanks for reading! 

WATER TRIBE RAHHHH‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

it's been years but my heart remains soft for dramione and zutara. look idc if you don't like it, whatever floats your boat, but i just cannot let the idea stand that it was only a ship or only popular because "bad boy/good girl" or "fire and water." it's about the redemption. the healing. the hard work towards a connection. for draco, for zuko: the idea that if you really want to, you can change. that you're worth more than your mistakes. that there isn't a place you can't pull yourself out of if you put in the work. that you might have been better if you hadn't been where you were; that you have the chance now.

for hermione, for katara: that people have seen you the same way your whole life and now you are given the chance to break away. that you have wounds and dark moments that the motherly ones and the bookworms shouldn't have, don't get to have--but that someone has been at the bottom of that same pit, that there's a hand reaching down. that there was a bitter, cruel history that meant you had no choice but to be enemies. but that there is that choice, now.

the appeal of that can't be reduced to simple tropes

Sokka: *can’t remember his mother’s face*

Katara: *can’t forget her mothers face*

Sokka and Katara Headcanon

So, I can't remember if it ever mentions this in Avatar: The Last Airbender because I haven't watched it in years, despite having been able to.

But, anyway, here we go!

So while Sokka and Katara can speak English, they can also speak the language of their tribe which is their first language. When they are talking late at night or sometimes when they're walking around, they slip back into the language and just talk, whether it's about their next mission, some juicy gossip they heard, their feelings, it doesn't matter. Just the familiarity of it makes any conversation that much better. It was almost a way to make it seem like they were home.

One night when they were doing this, the rest of the Gaang woke up hearing it and thought they were under attack. But when they found that their foes were in fact their friends, they lowered their weapons and sat down to listen in secret, despite not being able to understand it. Just hearing the foreign language and seeing the two of them talking like this was beautiful in a way to them. So beautiful, in fact, they all agreed to not say anything in fear it would scare the pair into not doing it anymore.

Bonus: 

When they do something illegal in a place where they’re not recognized and all else fails, they fall back on Plan E and pretend they don’t know English at all or only one of them (typically Katara) can understand a little bit of it.

Y'ALL CHAPTER 3&4 ARE OUT!!!

"Dear Master Katara. I have to say, I did not picture receiving a letter from you under these conditions.

My nephew is a good man now. You and I know he will make a good Firelord. Even the people know.

The Fire Sages are an integral part of the Fire Nation’s constitution. Without them and their support, a coronation is impossible. It seems to me as though the best solution is, regrettably, what my niece not so tastefully informed you of a few days ago.

You would be coronated privately first, of course. Then Zuko’s coronation and your wedding in one.

This marriage will have to be final. The only way the people will accept is through a picture painted of love, not of strategy. The people of the Fire Nation are great romantics.

I advise you to find yourself. It depends on whether or not you are willing, Katara. My nephew will accept the agreement. That, I am sure of.

Your uncle and your wellwisher,

Iroh

Would he sign himself away to her for life? Pretend to be in love with her under the condition that he could rule and fix this slowly fracturing nation, held together by years of iron-fisted torture and greed?"

and yes coronation and wedding is next chapter

If dangerous ideas didn't excite the imagination, we would never wander astray.

AKA the Gaang in an Arcane AU

brown eyes suki propaganda

the katara drawings under the cut

daughter so much cute 💔💔💔💔 daughtrer

kataras female rage freeing aang out of the iceberg and therefore essentially being the reason for world peace after a century long war is just very...poetic when u think about it

I am so extremely late to this😭

sirens au of avatar!!! woop

oh please, please give us sweet fluff Kataang moments in the movie, the sweeties deserve to be in love😭😭

Commission I did for @kataraslove 🌹🌹

if there were a fantasy creature AU, this is EXACTLY how I see the gaang. They look amazing!!

Here’s the references to our main cast as their creature forms! Firebenders/tribe members are dragons, of course, and Earthbenders/tribe members are gargoyles. Waterbenders/tribe members are fishes, but only the Waterbenders have water forms (mermaid forms basically). And then of course, Airbenders are birds.

I’m obsessed! I want more of this AU, they look so cute!!😭😭

He’s just happy to see her

Drama with Hama - or not

In the show and overall by viewers, Hama is not considered a good character. The show insinuates, that Hama is performing revenge on innocent people of the same civilation (the firenation) just as how the soldiers of the firenation kidnapped and enslaved the waterbenders of the southern water tribe. By fans she is mostly viewed as evil and crazy, since she „cursed“ Katara with the ability to bend blood.

But is Hama actually evil?

The more i rewatched the show, the more i understood, that Hamas hatred and actions are actually pretty understandable. Of course i do not defend the kidnapping of innocent civilians but in my opinion, to not relate to Hama, is actually what i would consider barbaric.

Hama had to watch her whole civilisation, her friends, her family and most importantly her culture being slowly but surely erased, by the fire nation until she was the last one remaining and had to surrender.

When hama was arrested, she was prevented free movement, as her limbs were chained so she, nor the others would be capable of bending the water. The cages were above the ground. They were occasionally fed, from afar with little dosages of water, as if they were wild inhumane creatures. She probably was forced to watch her friends die in those cages as well. God knows, how long she was arrested in that Jail, and what else she had to go through.. Only by training on rats, to control them, via bloodbending, she managed to escape.

Of course it was wrong to perform revenge on innocent people, especially if she just could've kidnapped the soldiers of the firenation, but overall - considering what she went through, i can only sympathize with her and eye people suspiciously who can't. Because no one, who experiences the same barbaric and horrific things that hama did, would remain sane. This kind of experience really takes a toll and changes everyone. And i 100% understand Hamas frustration and act of vigilantism.

And the Bloodbending technique - she gave on to Katara - is not a curse, but more a reminder of the torture that the firenation put the water benders through and also a symbol of how powerful water benders really are; because no matter what you truly think of hama as a character, you cannot deny that she is truly a real selftought master of waterbending!

WLW poly shipping is still sadly rare, so I love you <3 <3 <3 Ideas about/headcanons on katophzula? I just thought of them together and love it so much

ayyy my first ask🥳 and yessss I hate that poly shipping in fandom revolves around men so often. Like the most popular poly ship in nearly every fandom (the only one I can think of that counteracts this is she ra lol) is m/m/f and I could go on about why that fits with the demographic of the media but I will NOT because KATOPHZULA!!! my blog is,,,pretty open to every wlw rare pair and I’ve made my love for katyzutoph apparent and katophzula being part of that, I love them!!!

 I think that katoph would definitely get together first if we’re applying in canon, but I actually thing tophzula would be established in like,,,a modern/no war/etc au. I think they’d be pretty chill together- Katara would get into arguments with them a lot but most of them would be petty tiny things and end up laughing while they’re supposed to be yelling at each other. Sometimes Azula and Katara will be arguing about what color carpeting to buy or something like that and Katara randomly starts laughing, and Azula is like it’s not funny >:((( but she doesn’t mean it and they make up.

 I also feel like Azula would be pining for a loooong time before they get together because she doesn’t know how they would work it out and she’s terrified of her own feelings. Like Katara and toph would start dating 2 years post canon and a couple months later she starts interacting and apologizing, and they become good friends. Toph and Katara both know they have feelings for Azula, and Azula knows she has feelings for them, but it’s another four years until they all get together because of guilt, mistrust, and fear.

Katara is a big spoon with toph and changes it up with Azula, Azula big spoons toph (toph is short and sometimes she just wants to be held) and switches it up with Katara, and all together Azula is usually in the middle.

Since they’re all from different nations, they move around a lot as adults. Summers in Caldera, Winters in Ba Sing Se, and SWT in spring. They don’t put anything in fall for certain- if they feel like staying in caldera for fall, they do that. If they want to go to the water tribe because Katara’s feeling homesick? That’s where they go. (Also I know Toph isn’t from ba sing se but she doesn’t want to stay near her parents bc of their,,,estrangement.)

Feel like I’ve done some Azutara and some Katoph but no Tophzula sooo Toph likes making jewelry for Azula bc Azula likes lots of accessories so Toph makes her necklaces, earrings, and headbands. She metalbends them ofc and Azula LOVES them and she’s not used to people doing things for her without being asked so she’s awkward about it but they both get points across lol.

Anyways thanks for the ask anon, I loved writing this <3

Notes for Biology definitely not an excuse to doodle 🧍

I love Katara, she's so smart, powerfull, gentle, kind, caring and pretty 🥺❤ she deserves all the love
