OH, SHOW. Oh, show! I have missed you so much. You are the piece which completes the broken puzzle that is my heart, you are the cool breeze on a summer day, you are the Coldstone Creamery employee with the handsome smile who showed off his scooping skills then snuck an extra spoonful of gummi bears into the cone when I was counting out change at

So ... THAT WAS A LOT OF WASTED WORDS. Good job, Mem.

NO. NO IT WAS NOT. ESPECIALLY NOT THE PART ABOUT THE DANCE (THE DANCE THE DANCE THE DANCE) BECAUSE THAT ESSENTIALLY SUMMED UP MY ENTIRE THOUGHT PROCESS ON IT ALL. IF IT COULD EVEN BE DESCRIBED AS A THOUGHT PROCESS. BASICALLY I'M NOT EVEN PROCESSING THE REST OF THE EPISODE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF THE MOTHERFUCKING DANCE!!!!

Oh show. Oh OTP. Oh dancing/synchronization/fighting-but-not kink. How did you know, Mike and Bryan? How did you knooooooooow!?!?!!!

T-this might actually rival the raining/fighting/kissing WEDDING OF THE CENTURY IN A MOTHER-EFFIN' WHIRLPOOL in POTC3 that sealed my love of Will/Elizabeth for all time. Maybe. Possibly.

oh show~ ♥ ♥ ♥

HAHAHAHA HOW-- how did you know that what you struck-out was the only other romantically fighttastic encounter I could think of that topped Aang and Katara fight-dancing. kajsldk.

SO GREAT???

I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY.

I HAVE ONLY HEARTS.

M-maybe because that was the only other thing my mind could come up with that was even on the same level of awesome as the fight-dance??? (And omg that is the perfect name for it and what it will forever be now in my mind.) I just...I just...DANCING. AND BENDING. AND AANG'S GRINS AND KATARA'S WIDE-OPEN SMILES AND SYNCHRONIZATION AND THE WAY THEY WERE SO OBVIOUSLY THERE, TOGETHER, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE THING! That, my friends, is chemistry. That is how you do intimacy between a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old without giving me the squickies.

I do not for a second expect or believe that Katara and Aang will be having hot makeout sessions by the end of the series (o-omg Maiko ♥), but THAT, right there, is how you set up the foundations for a truly EPIC relationship.

And those are my thoughts on Kataang. ^_^;;;

A-also. I will admit to never before seeing the true underlying appeal of Aang's character. I mean, I liked him well enough and all, but he was still overwhelmingly just this dorky kid in my mind who had way too

I DID NOT THINK OF THE PARALLEL WITH WILL/ELIZABETH. THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT!

YOU ARE MOST ASSUREDLY WELCOME! ♥ XPPP

I AGREE ON ALL FRONTS. Especially on the point re: makeouts. I mean, they are my OTP FOR LYFE, and it is pretty much set in stone that in a few years they will be makeouting in a ridiculously hot and 100% Mem-approved manner, but I cannot say I want to see Aang and Katara hella makeout at this point in time. (I say this knowing full well that young teens have been known to hella makeout IRL. I JUST DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT, THANK YOU.)

If, however, the creative team felt like providing an epilogue set a few years in the future with Aang and Katara smoochin' it up, I would not be displeased.

I AM IMAGINING AN OLDER, MATURE AANG AND IT IS ... I AM OKAY WITH IT. YES. I AM OKAY WITH THIS.

dsklgxcjlkv aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang

(AND BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A JERK, like I am dismissing this lovely, thoughtful comment you have left: thank you! And yes, with the hearts and the big damn hero and the askdjl.
