I'm now starting my adventure into the realm of "Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles" and I'm sure I'll love it. I did love "Sakura Card Captor" and Her romance with Sayoran...it was so beautiful how she started off loving someone else (Yukito) and then Sayoran appeared and they hated each other and then they became card capturing partners, then friends and finally they fell in love. So I'm sure I'm going to love this new series from Clamp that crosses over various animes but concentrates on these two characters.
I hope you see this series too.
As for the tow remaining pieces of Avatar day I'm missing i promise that as soon as I get home I will post them.
I just haven't been home and Internet visits are short and not very productive. So all of you, have fun and too all of the Zutarians that I've met.
I love you all and I will always cherish what we've built together.

If you're a fan of the show and you happen to be a fan of Zutara, the challenge is to create something that centers around Zuko and Katara with whatever medium you're comfortable with (i.e., fanart, fanfics, AMVs) throughout the week of Monday, July 7 - Monday, July 14 using these themes:

Day 1: Denim
Day 2: Electrifying
Day 3: Smug
Day 4: Manipulative
Day 5: Mythology
Day 6: Stare
Day 7: Pinch

Once you agree to do this, you'll have to discipline yourself and see it through 'til the end. If you want to participate, go here and post a comment if you're going to do either fanart, fanfics, or AMVs, then you would be put on a list in which everyone will add you to their watch lists. If you don't, we will never know.

----------------------

I'm so up for it. I already have some ideas for some fics and art for some of the themes but not all. Hum...have to star planning!!!!

You should also give 10 free sketches to 10 people. You give me a link to your journal page with this on it, then I will add you to the list~!!"

So why, if there are already people with the book in their hands, don't they post some pictures of it? Only people who want to be spoiled will look at them... and why hasn't anyone posted the Bryke interview yet?
If they posted the spoilers they could've least talked about the interview or even about the poster that comes inside....Sorry everyone but I will not believe it until I see it.

Emotional body language (like the hug Katara and Zuko share) - Identifying feelings.
Up close

When you are close to the other person, the body language progressively gets more intimate until one person signals 'enough' if that is what she wants.

Close in and personal

In moving closer to the other person, you move from social space into their personal body space, showing how you would like to get even closer to them, perhaps holding them and more...

Standing square-on to them also blocks anyone else from joining the conversation and signals to others to stay away.

Lovers' gaze

When you are standing close to them, you will holding each other's gaze for longer and longer periods before looking away.

Touching

Touching signals even closer intimacy.


I know we all have seen this between Zuko and Katara even though they may not mean a romantic relationship they show intimacy. So what goes around my mind is how in the world would they be intimate with each other at some points when they were supposedly enemies? There you have it, most of the signs above are about CoD. Katara went from far from Zuko in terms of space, which represents social space to a few inches away from him. When someone gets that close it means the person that is stepping closer wants to get in the other's personal space, showing intimacy with the other. Like many have said there was a connection between Zuko and Katara at that particular moment and with that connection came emotional intimacy. Of course she is also intimate of Aang, but the difference is that Aang is Katara's best friend. It's common to have that kind of intimacy between friends but with a person you hardly know and that is, in theory, your enemy is quite intriguing to me. The only explanation is that there was enough material in that talk of theirs to create intimacy and connect them. With this said I just want to point out that with such bond created between two people it is extremely difficult to break it, what made me sure, from that point on, that even if Katara got extremely angry at Zuko for betraying her, she would eventually forgive him.

So I will not talk about the body language in both of the Kataang kisses but if you are interested to know look that out on the net or something. I just want to say that both theories of embarrassment and/or surprise are both corroborated by body language rules.

So going on to the Zutara hug.
There are so many types of hugs that it is hard to know where to start in explaining their differences. So many variables affect the types of a hug that people give each other. For instance, people’s height, weight, age and their relationship, all determine the kinds of hugs that they give each other. Not to mention whether the huggers are men, women, friends or lovers!

First, there is the friendly hug. This type of hug usually happens between friends of either the opposite or the same sex. Family members also give each other these types of hugs. It is a caring, yet short embrace and may or may not involve a kiss on the cheek, depending on the situation and who the people are to each other. Generally, family member hugs include a kiss on the cheek but not always. If a younger person is hugging a senior relative or friend, the younger person often kisses the older person on the cheek. The kiss on the cheek is both a sign of respect and friendly caring or affection. The older people may also kiss the younger person on the cheek, or forehead. These types of hugs are usually done while standing or sitting down.
This makes me think of most of the Kataang hugs and kisses.
But notice that Zutara hug. It shows despair. I was neutral when I analyzed this, so in my personal opinion it's not a romantic hug but still... It shows how desperate Katara is to find someone with identical feelings. Just look at her face. There is a mist of feelings. Some may be missing but what I see there is shame, sadness, forgiveness and happiness.
Yes that single expression told me all of that. Of course it's corroborated by the expressions on her face while she listens to Zuko and when she lunges towards him. We can see that she is no longer ad at him and that she feels like he shares her feelings.
Now pay close attention to his body language. At first when he is talking to her he seems sad, ashamed. That makes me strongly believe that this talk will be not only about Katara's mother but also in some way (even if it's not directly) about what happened in Ba Sing Se. I don't know if I'm the only one... ]]> ~SeleneBlack646
