Avatar: TLAB, post-ep fanfic

[timepiececlock]

Now that the season finale has aired, I want to dip my toe into some Z/K shipper fanfic. Oh, the potential! So much potential to make of these new events. So much dark stuff in the finale; I'm dying to read some good reaction fic. From a ship POV, especially.

However, I'm kind of afraid. I'm afraid because most of my ship fandom doesn't seem to be reacting to the episode the same way that I am. I fear the reaction fic as much as I desire it.

I kind of want someone of like mind to go find all the good fic and point me to it. Unfortunately I am usually that person. ::sigh::

I'll just have to wait and see. Pay a lot of attention to summaries and author's notes before reading, that sort of thing.

What I've noticed about Avatar is that the main characters are tall and adult-like...

Until they stand next to an actual adult. And the the creators feel the need to remind us (or maybe themselves) that, hey, they're just kids! (the only exception being Iroh)

Because 15 year old Sokka is probably just a few inches shorter than his dad, barely--if it were real life. However, because it's a cartoon--ZOMG we must make him a lot shorter!

(Another example--look at Katara and the pirates. She's like...less that their shoulders. Yet in other situations, she's really, really tall. Strange.)

And--YES! Feel the love of EarthKing/Mei! Now we need to get a posse going or something...

I blame the non-age-proportionate character sizes on anime influences.

EarthKing/Mai is totally going into all my futurefic from now on. It may be just an obscure reference, but it will be there.
