*Zutarian Ranting and Sozin SPOILERS Below!*Okay, sorry for not drawing a picture in such a long time, but for a few days, I did kind of get depressed after seeing some of the strongest and most passionate Zutarians fall after these spoilers were released. I, for one, was not depressed at all because I still think the book is somewhat of a play by play of what’s going to happen in the finale, but it is a bit too misconstrued to contain the entire truth, it lacks severe detail, and I still KNOW the ending is false. Even if Kataang happens in the end, there is no way in HECK Avatar can play out that way and I still believe Zutara WILL be canon.
Why, you ask? It’s quite simple, really. Mike and Bryan said at the New York Comic Con, “EVERYONE will the happy with the finale.” A few weeks later, the Sozin’s Comic book comes out and is said to contain MASSIVE spoilers. People read it, and IF the entire book is 100% true and Avatar DOES really end that way and what happens? Over HALF of the entire fandom is devastated. Is that everyone, Bryke? I don’t think so, and this is why I believe they allowed Kataang and Maiko to happen in the book because Zutara WILL happen in the series. And if it does? Is everyone happy now? I think so. Let me tell you why --
Kataangers and Maikoaans are mostly kids. You have to admit that while older fans, typically 15 and up are Zutarians. And I think that kids typically believe everything they see, and that is why they are mostly for Kataang and Maiko! Because they believe everything they SEE! Kataang and Maiko are straight up, right in your face couplings. And I believe that when in the series, they begin to show the growth of Zuko and Katara and their relationship as friends and the building of trust, I believe the kids will begin to SEE the possibility of Zutara because it’ll be there right in front of them. They will SEE the buildup of friendship, the hug, the catch, the back-to-back fighting, the ninja mission, Zuko saving Katara’s life, Katara defeating Azula after Zuko gets hurt, Katara healing Zuko, it will be there! They will show their development and this is why there will be no question when Zutara DOES happen! This is why it’ll be an EPIC and satisfying ending for EVERYONE!
I do want to thank MizSweet for her podcast last week and yeah, I might have used some parts from it in my rant above, but I might have paraphrased a little. After being a bit down for the past few days, I listened to it and I tell you, I was spazzing the ENTIRE time. Every point she made was excellent! It hit the nail on the head and there is no longer any doubt in my mind that Zutara WILL be canon. Yes, people may believe I’m crazy for putting back 100% trust back into my ship, and even against all odds, Kataang does win in the end even with all of the Zutara build-up, I’d rather go down fighting. What about you?
*End rant and Spoilers*
Okay, I finished drawing this picture quite a while ago. I was coloring it yesterday and was going to submit it, but as I was coloring it, my electricity flashed and the power went out for a second before coming back on. It was long enough for my computer to reboot and I lot EVERTYHING I was working on. The same is for another picture I was going to submit last week, but after almost being done and losing it at the last second was too disheartening to get the gust up to color it again, so I just left it in my file and probably won’t submit it.
About the sloppy coloring? I’m sorry, but the electricity flashed twice in the past few days and both times, I lost everything I was working on, so I had to speed up my coloring time which makes it kind of sucky, so I apologize, but it was either submit it sloppy or have the possibility of it getting deleted again.
--
Oh, and on another exuberant and quite spazzy note, David Cook WON American Idol!
I’d LOVE a repeat performance for the end of Avatar because pretty much everyone thinks that since the spoilers in the book are true, and Kataang is going to win, wouldn’t it be so AWESOME if Zutara pulled ahead and turned out to be the unexpected canon ship?! And THAT’S what is meant by an EPIC ending. Something that is unexpected, breathtaking and absolutely PERFECT ending to a story. I mean, if the creators stated that there was an epic finale to Avatar, would Kataang and Maiko really be the result? If you say yes, you’re only kidding yourself. A Kataang and Maiko ending would be nothing but a predictable, melodramatic, and densely BORING ending to a show that should not fit that decription. So, be prepared for something EPIC coming in July when Zutara IS canon!
Avatar is going to continue on Monday, July 14, 2008. And no matter what the creators have chosen, Zutara Forever!

Ah, I could hear the screams of agony coming from all the zutarians out there when Aang & Katara kissed in the second-to-last scene of the final episode of Avatar.
When Avatar was in motion, I didn't follow it too well. I watched a few episodes here and there, but I knew I liked it.
I recently downloaded all the episodes and watched them. I can defiantly say I am a Zutarian. It just seemed more... natural. Though, I knew from the very start that Aang would be with Katara. This wasn't because I watched the last episode and saw them kiss before I downloaded the episode, but a very strong feeling.
I've watched A LOT of anime, and a lot of ones with relationships that go back and forth - even ones that go so close to becoming true, only to turn around and go in the other direction.
Though, getting to the point, since I never watched Avatar from the very beginning (when it officially started to be released, till it officially ended) I can't feel the pain that some fans felt.
I can admit some disappointment, but very little. It was an enjoyable series, with a brilliant ending - that being the 5 episode finale.
Honestly, I swear I can still hear the Zutarians sobbing.

na, that's not really true... my younger brother is an avatar-fan (he doesn't admit it though) and he is 14. he has never been into shipping and didn't really show interest for the different pairings. but when i told him that there was a book with spoilers for the finale and that kataang was going to happen, he was like "omg really??? i thought zuko and katara where gonna hook up... are you serious?" my brother is a zutarian and i didn't even know
uhh what i meant to tell you is: he was totally convinced that zutara was gonna happen, an he is 14 and never knew anything of the fandom. so uhh... heck, i don't know what i wanted to say, but i think that this is reason why zutara must be canon

Love your rant, but as I too ranted in my journal, who cares who wins? Fanfiction will still be alive!!! Love this 2-parter by the way, tis very pretty. Yeah i noticed the gaps too. Where was the ninja mission and whatnot? Im still hoping they at least leave it ambigious. And maybe i am a bit biased, i do dress up as katara, and sure i made my own zutara shirt, but you rock!!!!
Zutara even after the finale, but still forever!!!
p.s. come see my zutara shirt i made in my galley. i think you may like it.

I love the last panel, their faces and angles really get me. ^ ^

First of all, I love all of your art! Great pic!
Second of all, I love your rant, and I couldn't agree more! Zutara is the epic ending that we are waiting for, and Kataangers and Maikoans are fooling themselves, that's why I just sit back and laugh now at their comments of "The book is REAL, give up, Zutara isn't going to happen." Whatever. I'll be laughing and crying my eyes out when Zutara actually does happen. I'll probably be on the phone with a friend while we watch it together and then we'll just burst out laughing at the sheer thought that people believed this book. Seriously, I'm laughing already!
Thirdly, darn American Idol! I wanted ARCHULETA! That kid rules. For some reason, I never really like David Cook, but Archuleta caught my eye and ear very early on, so I was rooting for that kid all the way. It seems like this year the performance won over the voice. Darn. Well, there is a pattern. That must mean that next year the voice will win over the performance. Whoo!
Fourthly, ummm...Zutara ROCKS!!!

Thanks so much.
Yes, I know! It's going to be EPIC! July just seems so far away! We need to see all the yummy Zutaraness already! But two months is nothing compared to the years we've waited for Zutara to be in our sights. I just know it's going to happen. It's too perfect not to. I just wish July would come faster! *spazzes*
Yeah, Archuleta was cute and I've also liked him since the beginning. I don't know. I guess rock is just really my thing and I love the slight raspiness of Cook's voice. Archuleta is SO adorable though! You just want to pinch his little cheeks off! I also love his voice too, and don't worry, he is going to make it BIG!
Yes, Zutara is AMAZING!

i compleatly agree! those who are true zutarains would not fall because of some anti-zutara spoilers! weve had worse right? i mean the maiko kisses were like horrible yet it only made us more passionte and ferice right?! why should this be any different?!

I know. I think too many people are taking the book WAY to seriously. I mean, I just have to laugh at them. Why did Mike and Bryan call us passionate and tenacious if we fall apart on account of a children's book!? It just sounds as if they're giving up hope when the war hasn't even started yet. I just July would get here already to show them that Zutara WILL be canon!

hellz yes! i totally agree i mean mike and bryon are giving us all this zutara build up why would they destroy that! and why after all that tension and zuko trying to get katara to trust him and his achievingness of that trust?! it just doesnt make sense to me unless zutara does become cannon! and i agree, zutara will be canon!
