Zuko finds out Katara was parentified from the age of eight and was a single mom friend of three until he stumbled into the position of gaang dad friend. So when she visits the Fire Nation Zuko dotes on her, making sure her every need is anticipated and catered to. He even goes as far as - to the horror of his council - kneeling to remove her shoes.

Because of this she earns the nickname Lady Katara among the palace staff which she finds amusing but a little confusing. So one day over tea she asks Iroh why they call her that and he explains:

"They're just practicing."

"Why would you need to practice a nickname?"

"Well my dear, they expect that within a few years Fire will preceed it."

And that's about when Katara chokes on her tea.

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

on firefox: settings → search "cookies" → scroll down → "manage cookies" → tumblr should be at the very top because of how much space it's taking → select it → clear cookies → save changes. done

Worst fear: finding out that I really am just a late bloomer or something and I’m no longer asexual/aromantic and having to tell everyone and them being like told ya it was just a phase therefore giving people more “proof” asexuality/aromanticism doesn’t exist gah

the thing is, it’s okay if it’s just a phase. It doesn’t give people “proof” because there are still millions out there who are aro/ace. If it is “just a phase”, it doesn’t matter, because aro/ace is how you identify right now, and people should respect that. And if you change your mind some day, people should respect that too

You’re my fav kind of human

Impermanence of being doesn’t mean it never happened and wasn’t real. Temporary identities can still be true and important. What matters is that you’re respected in each feeling and identity you have.

Reblogging cause this is important to remember!

This was me. Once I started processing my trauma and finding a partner I could trust, I was able to enjoy sex. And yeah it sucks having to realize your label was wrong, but I was also able to recognize that the label was good for me at the time. It served its purpose

Some people have a very strong sense of identity. They are like mountains that are still subject to change but it is a slow process that takes a long time

And that’s great for them!

Other people (like me) have a fluid sense of identity. We are water and we constantly shift and change. Our paths change with the weather and tides. We abandon old river beds and find new ones

And that’s also great!

It doesn’t mean every place I’ve been or shape I’ve held was a lie. It was just a point in my history and it was my reality while I was there. There is no shame in being changable and it doesn’t make you a liar

(also phases in general are part of human experience and often integral in shaping who you are)

being a caterpillar is a phase that doesn’t mean no butterfly ever actually was one.

the caterpillar had different needs than the butterfly and different abilities than the butterfly and was vulnerable to different things, and all of that was real.

even if every asexual eventually became some variant of sexual, that doesn’t mean any of them weren’t asexual when they were.

you are allowed to be what you are even if there’s an annoying stereotype about it.

Since Ao3 has temporarily disabled guest comments due to very mean and pornographic bots, now is a very good time for 1) readers with Ao3 accounts to comment on the fics they love and cherish to make up for those who cannot leave guest comments and 2) readers without Ao3 accounts to join the waitlist and make an account!
