So, on ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
atla_unspoiled, there was a poster talking about how, typically, Zutara shippers ship Suki/Sokka, and Kataang shippers ship Toph/Sokka. (Which I think is true, based on my totally unscientific experiences). She then suggested that this was because of the shippers looking for 'viability.' (Which doesn't make sense to me.) I think it's more likely the that similarity in character interactions and relationship dynamics is what makes it more likely for a Zutara shipper to like Suki/Sokka, and for a Kataanger to like Toph/Sokka.
(And of course, there all the various permutations of who ships what as a primary ship, and I KNOW that there are people who like Suki/Sokka and Kataang, and Zutara shippers who like Toph/Sokka, to name just two.)
Your thoughts?

Yeah, I really like to compliment and contrast characters in relationships.

Someone please tell Kataang this.no subject
And I can I just say, the whole 'aang's love for his entire race is reborn is Katara' thing? I don't find the romantic at. all. To me, that's just him replacing what he lost with the first pretty girl he saw, and totally does Katara a disservice. She deserves someone how loves her for her, not because he has no one else.

ME, TOO.
And it also reinforces the Kataang incest vibe for me... Romantic pairings/marriages are supposed to be about LEAVING your family unit to form a new one with someone from outside that circle.

I want Katara to have someone who loves her and wants to be with her, not someone who needs her because there's really no one else.
