    Avatar the Last Airbender is a masterpiece and I will never be convinced otherwise.
    Hope you enjoyed this original Katara song by myself and @FrostudioChambersonic !! I’m SO EXCITED to release it, I’ve been working on this project for ages and am so proud of it! Naturally I usually do covers so putting out an original song is always nerve wracking, so if you enjoyed please do drop a comment/share! (This isnt meant to be a villain song btw for anyone confused)
    I really wanted to explore that moment just after Katara learnt to bloodbend and what her emotional state might be. This is arguably the darkest story arch in ATLA and I wish we got a few more episodes on it to see the effect it had on her! So this was the next best thing for me, write a song and play around with it!
    LYRICS:
    These hands they don’t feel like mine
    Spirit deep inside escapes it confines and I’m running out of time
    Don’t know if I can hold it back
    From the swathes and scores it wants to attack
    I can’t hold it back
    My only purpose
    Was to protect
    Those I love and care for
    This powers tainted
    Can’t restrain it
    It wants vengeance and war
    If I’d had power
    All those years ago
    What could I restore?
    Could I have saved you?
    What have I become
    Who would save me
    What have I become
    What have you made me
    Look how far you’ve come
    Stronger than the sea
    As weakness fills my lungs
    And I’m scared of me
    Once the waters edge felt safe
    Now the waves they roar and rage
    Mother water and I am her daughter those waves run in me
    Currents rush and race and seethe
    Righteous anger here to feed
    And I have control
    Bend and fold
    This whole world
    I will mould
    I’ll make their blood run cold
    My only purpose
    Was to protect
    Those I love and care for
    This powers tainted
    Can’t restrain it
    It wants vengeance and war
    I must remember what I fight for!
    What have I become
    Who would save me
    What have I become
    What have you made me
    Look how far you’ve come
    Stronger than the sea
    As weakness fills my lungs
    And I’m scared of me
    My gran would tell me stories
    Of peace before this war
    Where everyone was happy
    And knew what they lived life for
    She told me there was one
    Who would unite them all
    A shining son would come
    And that’s all she foresaw
    What part am I supposed to play?
    Am I the storm?
    Will I be
    The Villain
    This power
    Unbidden
    If I send a wave to you will it drown me too?
    What have I become
    What have I become
    What have I
    What have I
    What have I
    What have I become
    Byeeeeeeee

    Katara is afraid that she's a monster. That being a Bloodbender is something that's inherently evil, and now, she's corrupted. But, she isn't. The representation of her rage and trauma DIDN'T drag her down to the depths. She is going to struggle with it, likely for a very long time, but, she won't become a monster like Hama was.

  • @shadowldrago
    @shadowldrago Před 2 měsíci +1316

    This is very much NOT a villain song, but, it's Katara's fear. Fear of her own rage, fear of becoming just another killer. Fear that Bloodbending is inherently evil and that by using it, regardless of WHY, she, in turn, Is Evil. This feels like part of a story. And we see that conclusion in the episode where the confronts her mother's killer, and ends up Bloodbending the wrong guy, but spares him, and deliberately doesn't kill her mother's murderer. She doesn't forgive him. She's never going to forgive him. But she is not a monster. She is more than her trauma. And, even if out of sheer spite, seeing this man brought so low, she intends to rise and be BETTER.

    If you think about it, what must have really deeply affected Katara wasn’t just simply mastering blood bending, but learning that such a dark, demonic skill actually existed within water bending. Her whole life she loved water bending and cursed fire bending, never knowing she was practically capable of much worse.
    I mean, it’s one thing to burn someone, but to tear their muscles & organs apart, fix them and tear apart them again, not to mention being able to make people hurt or kill others against their will?

Altough it ended up being more of a diagnosis because the problem wasnt spiritual but rather physical poison. Still you can use firebnsing to health wounds to the soul since its basically energy bending. The thing is, the only way you are going to get an injure like that is by going to the spirit world and fighting a spirit or by pissing the hell out of a primordial guardian spirit that can cross to the real world and curse you in a way that isnt their domain(aka the mother of faces removing their face)

      A well written villain, no one would ever want to meet as a person. BUT a lot of people enjoy the effort and time put into creating a well written villain, because a poorly written one would do nothing to help shape the story as a whole, or balance out the hero!
      This is very similar. People often have one of their favorite scenes be one of the heros most dangerous or painful struggles; not because they enjoy someone being in danger or pain, but because they enjoy the effort gone into creating such a horrible scene, and all the care put into it so that we as the reader/watcher CARE what happens to these heros.

    This song perfectly showed Katara's inner turmoil. I don't think most people realise how awful bloodbending truly is. And for Katara, who's basically the embodiment of compassion, it must have been devastating to be forced to use it. This song does Katara justice in a way that the show didn't (as much as I love the show).

    The puppetmaster was the scariest & one of my favorites of S3 especially for Katara's arc! She finally found another Southern water tribe bender to bond with only to be betrayed as Hama lost her way fighting for freedom. This whole project is beautiful. All her rage, pain & trauma now being pushed to bloodbending. She won the battle but let all of it rise again in Southern Raiders.

    and Katara going "what is my role? am i the storm? am i the villain?" and still questioning that, to her last moment

    This really reminds me of an excellent ATLA fanfic by greeneyes117 where the whole story is told by Katara in diary form. The author delved into the ramifications Katara must have felt after bloodbending, and this song feels so perfect for the deep dive. Beautiful, beautiful job, Lydia!

    An excellent song that perfectly fits with Katara's character. The way the video ends with Katara walking away with a tense look after seemingly putting her demons at bay is especially fitting, considering she'd later fight those same demons again once the opportunity to kill her mother's murderer presented itself to her.

    The feeling I'm getting from this song is that she fears the new power she learned because of the damage it can do to someone. This is similar to what Aang had to battle with when it came to fire the difference is instead of burning people you could twist their limbs or cause their entire cardiovascular system to self destruct on itself.
    Towards the end she learns to accept herself and the new power.

    I find this fitting. Katara’s trauma is shown vividly throughout the show, and many times she brings up her mother. But this fear of becoming heartless like she views Hama or the Fire Nation is what holds her back. Fear is good and bad. It can keep you safe by stopping you from making bad decisions, but it can hinder your judgement. We see this when she tracks down the man who killed her mother. She was angry. She was sad. She was scared. But to show how tough of a character Katara is, she held back. She thought over her judgement. At first she thought that killing this man was vengeance, but it would just turn her into the monster she feared of becoming. She refused to be the monster that Hama was. This might be less obvious, but it happened with Azula. (Spoilers for the finale) When Katara was fighting Azula at the end, Katara manages to encase the two in a bubble of water. Now, many would see this as the perfect opportunity. Azula can’t fire bend, and she is immobilized. Honestly I feel most would leave her there in the bubble to drown, but she doesn’t, sparing Azula as she did the man.
    (Side note) I feel like Aang would ultimately be the one to help her throughout her trauma and sorrow the most (minus Sokka)

    I have to admit that I always thought of Katara as one of the strongest members of the gaang. I myself have always placed her as just below Azula (or just above with bloodbending). The one thing that hides this is that Toph is so combative and that Zuko is much more at home in a fight.
