It says "sakura" and means "cherry blossom"; it's a pretty well-known kanji. Although, I'm planning on changing my icon to the kanji for "shourai". XD
Oh, and, like December'sRose said, a Zutarian is someone who supports Zutara (Zuko and Katara).

Yep, I'm a die-hard Zutarian! Still am despite the Kataang kiss. Oh I saw the "joke" alright. *growls* I laughed at it until Sokka's part...then it got really irritating for me. Bryke didn't even seem to care about the fans when they made that (you'd think they'd be grateful for us since we make up 75% of the freakin fandom!). But no worries, GreenifyMe from dA totally got back at them when she won second for the fan-poster contest. She got Bryke to say the username she entered her picture in out loud: Zutaralivs.
XD
YESH, same here. I'm a Zutarian for life! XD
You know, since I was a fan of avatar since the beginning, I felt especially appalled. It even makes me wish I watched every episode online, instead. Or, better yet, not at all. u.u
GreenifyMe definitely showed them! Plus, there's the fact that both first and second place winners of that contest were Zutarians! ^______^
But KyokoMari was really the one to make me feel better.

Oh god, totally the reason I never went into the Avatar Fandom. I mean, I loved Avatar, and I've been at the fanfiction category a few times (to search up on Zutara stories, of course!). It is absolutely horrible they led you guys on like that. I know I was disappointed in the ending but damn, I didn't know how hard you guys had it.
This is kind of similar to the HP fandom in a way. I mean, most of us ships Dramione. (I've heard of hundred cases of converts to Dramione and absolutely zero of people switching from Dramione to other shippings in the fandom.) YET, JKR shuts it down immediately. Granted, she didn't shut it down as harsh as she did to the HHr shippers (Which I was ALSO apart of...so yeah, that kinda sucked, lol.), but it is still horrible. And it must've been worse for you guys because from what I saw of Avatar I was sure they were gonna get together . I mean, I thought TV shows cared about their fanbases? I guess not. Hopefully LWD will prove me wrong.
Haha, what a great way to get back at them! I'll have to check out the contest and the poster for sure.
I've always hated Kataang, I mean, Katara looks 18 or something, and Aang looks freaken TWELVE. (Which, yeah, he kinda is. But seriously, that creeps me out!) And Mai as a love interest for Zuko just PALES, so so much.
It always amused me that Dante Basco and Mae Whitman played love interests in American Dragon too. I mean, if Disney realizes their voices have chemistry, why can't Nick? Urgh. This is one of the few times that Disney wins over Nick.
Anyways, that was a long rant...and on a show I don't usually watch either.
Haha, gotta bless my fangirly heart!
/endrant
(P.S Do you know where I can find details on that poster contest?)
Yeah, we Zutarians did have it pretty bad. Also, add in the fact that most Kataangers were really childish about "winning". They just love rubbing it in... Although, I did congratulate my Kataanger friend on her ship becoming canon. Since, you know, she was a good one. ^^
Trufax... Once you ship Dramione, there really is no going back. It's just that awesome.
...A twelve-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl as a couple just doesn't work for me. And, yeah, I never liked Mai, either.
Haha, I thought I was the only one that noticed how the voice actors played love interests on ADJL. XD
Major pwnage there. And the second place graphix was GORGEOUS! I would've thought it was an official one. The first one was beautiful too, but I liked the second better. _________________ "...

You mean like Bryke did to the Zutarians? Somehow, I don't think they would do that.
What Bryke did to us (and when I say us, I mean me as well) Zutarians was kind of cold and uncalled for. They led us on and pulled it out from under us like a rug. *refraining from ranting*
Don't get me wrong, I still love them for the show. Just not for them poking at the Zutarians specifically.
ANYWAY....
Yeah, I agree. I doubt Mike and Ashley would do something like that to us.
You're a Zutarian, as well? Awesome.
Did you see the "Forbidden Love" joke short from SDCC?
It just seems too cruel, to do that to the fans... u.u
Yay, Zutarians! lol, I completely agree with you both! (well, I didn't watch that cruel joke video, but I did read a zutarian's rant-summary of it [Actually, it was KyokoMari's rant], and now I'm glad I didn't watch it. And I'm pretty sure I hate Bryke now.) not only was that "joke" uncalled for, but it was extremely immature of them. (again, at least from what I read.)

yeah, same here ;_; I started watching it the day it premiered and now I feel like I've wasted 3 1/2 years of my life on it just to be crushed...

Exactly! that's another reason I wanted Zutara to happen, because most Zutarians were mature about it, while Kataangers were childish like you said. And don't get me started on Mai or Maiko *tries to refrain from throwing up* I won't even go any further into detail about the crappy ending...
but I did find this really well-done zutara finale kiss manip:
made by witchandelyonpower from livejournal, not me.
.....
*Ahem* As for on topic though...I just watched 403 and 404 lol, since I've been so busy... But I've gotten more hope of Dasey happening from the newest episodes. Especially March Break, that whole episode was Dasey-ified! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm gonna be optimistic about Dasey the LWD writers can NOT be as cruel as Bryke were.
^You read KyokoMari's rant too? Her rant was the one that made me feel better. It felt good to know that I wasn't the only one severely angered by that "joke".
I watched it the day it premiered, as well. *sigh* It really does feel horrible when the creators feel they can throw you away. It's like: they finished the show, got you to watch it/buy it, and then, since you've served your purpose, they throw you away. ...I was even going to buy the DVDs before the SDCC "joke".
This, my friends, is why you shouldn't watch anime-wannabes. u.u
(Yeah, the joke was immature. I mean, "Whoever thinks Zuko and Katara should be together, will forever have DOOMED relationships." Real mature, Bryke. >.>)
Over at DeviantART, not long after the finale, the KatAangers were extremely bad. Hopefully, you didn't witness it.
...
Yeah, March Break rocked! I'm, also, quite optimistic about Dasey, but not overly optimistic.
That's so great Michael actually understands why we love Dasey.
And I'm glad the LWD cast and crew knows we exist. lol
And.... Michael talked about us !! The Dasey video makers !!
LOL that means he saw a vid from one of my beloved youtube friends ! and maybe one of mine...?? ^^
I don't think that the forbidden aspect really has something to do with my Dasey Obsession. It's mire about the storyline and how the characters theirselves are perfect one for another, and of course this amazing chemistry between Mike and Ash.
But yeah, maybe the forbidden thing makes it even more interesting.
I'm a diehard Ron/Hermione Shipper !! But I understand the Dramione shippers. It's interesting. ;) Though I've always thought Draco would look better with Ginny lol But I'm a Harry/Ginyn fan too ! ^^
Oh, I like Avatar ! It's a really cool show and it looks like there are great shipping possibilities ! I just don't really know the relationships because I didn't get to see lots of episodes. _________________ http://dasey-fanlisting.skyrock.comhttp://www.youtube.fr/lyragw
