imagine sparring with Korra and ended up with a heated makeout session

I can see it, like angry sparing which turns into heated kisses😶

Korra x Reader

Warnings: suggestive towards the end, fighting, making out, pouring out your feelings.

Maybe pushing Korra's buttons all day long wasn't such a good idea,and what brings you to this conclusion? Well maybe her pissed off face as she enters the training ring.

But it's not your fault! You were just bored,and what other entertainment was better than annoying the girl you hate? (Are deeply in love with but deny it) Yes,maybe you'd get a kick out of seeing her face red with anger,it's funny really!

Not to her it isn't, ever since this morning you were on to your mission to make her day insufferable,and imagine how happy she was when you proposed sparing with her,oh yes. How happy she was to blow off some steam , caused by no one else but you.

Korra knew, she knew you only wanted to piss her off further,but maybe you should've thought that she's the avatar,able to use all four elements,while you can only bend one element. This is going to be entertaining.

"Gonna keep staring at me like you wanna eat me up or you're gonna actually fight me?" Oh that smirk,that stupid smirk plastered on your face , matching with your raised eyebrow,she just wants to rip it off your face and throw it on the ground and stomp-

"Bring it on." Her stance changes, ready to attack. Fists clenched tightly urging to get you on your ass. She smirks only thinking about it.

You smile , running towards her with hot fiery fists,one punch, she dodges, taking advantage of her exposed position you trip her,a grin taking over your face.

"What's wrong Korra? Can't handle little old me?" You chuckle at her furious expression.

The brunette groans, bending herself of the ground using earth. Silently cursing you for taking her down in the first place. Oh you wanna see what she can do? She'll show you what she's can really do.

Hit with a sudden surge of adrenaline,Korra sends your way multiple earth spikes, almost loosing your balance you bend yourself a fire wave , sending it her way.

Korra scoffs, dodging the wave with an air ball. You roll your eyes, can this girl be any more frustrating? That's one of your best moves!

"That's so weak! Lame." The girl mocks, smirking down at you,a feeling of satisfaction taking over her frustration.

You roll your eyes, she's the lame one ,not you! "You wanna see power privileged girl? I'll show you power."

The avatar watches as fire starts surrounding you, slowly taking the shape of a huge snake.

How the fuck are you able to do that?! Is she capable of doing this to? She must admit ,even if she despises you,it's pretty fucking cool. Maybe one day you could teach her that.

During the time she spaced out staring at your fire creation, your snake lunged at her fast. Surrounding her with hot red fire.

Korra furrows her brows annoyed, resulting to water bending. She could hear you chuckling in the back round as she tries to fight off the huge fire monster.

Once she figured out she has to get away from the beast she uses earth bending, creating a small tunnel to pass your snake.

"You like my power now, Avatar?" Her eyes land on your amused face. With one swift move she runs towards you, using earth bending to give her a boost, and with her iced fists she punches you, in the stomach making you stumble to the ground. Your snake of fire disappearing in the clear air.

So in order for you to lose control of the created beast,you must take physical damage? Noted.

What really didn't help your case was your physical health. Unfortunately for you, you were weaker in hand to hand combat. It's mostly why your fire bending is so much stronger then Korra's.

You start coughing up, holding your stomach in pain. "No fair," you mutter through coughs, Korra towers over you, her anger eyes taking in your fallen form.

"Maybe you shouldn't have been so cocky." Her hands hang loosely on her hips,a victorious glint in her eyes.

Once you finally regain your breath you're able to stand on your feet. Glaring at her trough your furrowed brows.

"You're the one to speak." You scoff, she's the one acting like a bitch...damn your stomach hurts.

"Admit that I'm better than you already! It's the least you can do after I kicked your dumb ass!" You grit your teeth at her totally untrue words.

You take a deep breath in, turning your upper body to attack Korra again, after all you're not one to give up that easy.

One strong kick with your fire laced leg sends Korra flying into a wall. While trying to recover from your strong attack ,you stroll towards her. Your stomach no longer hurting as it did before.

"Look at you," your hands land on each side of her head, caging her in. "The all mighty avatar at my mercy." She can't help but stare,a proud smirk stuck to your face like a medal. How could you of everyone beat her?

The dark haired girl grits her teeth in anger, yet one taught hangs around her mind, why are you so eager to prove her wrong?

"What's it to you? Don't forget I'm stronger than you'll ever be." Now she's the one holding the smirk, Korra tried raising her hands,but you're quick to stick both of them to the wall.

"What's it to me? Everything!" You huff out at her obliviousness. One eyebrow raised,she waits for you to continue your blabbing. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

"Everything fell to your feet ever since you were a child! And me? I had to work for it. But no matter how long I trained or how strong I became,I was never truly acknowledged,but you? Their precious little avatar?" Korra huffs annoyed, taking a hold of your hands and swiftly switches your positions, making you the trapped one now.

She inches closer to your face,"I had to work for everything! I had to prove that I am the avatar, nothing came to me for free,so stop assuming I'm some stuck up princess!"

Her words make you scoff. What did she ever have to fight for? She could master all the elements as a kid, Korra never had to worry about being enough,you did. People called you weak ,you allways had to prove yourself to the world,that's why you became a pro bender in the arena. This way they could finally see,that you're enough.

"You? Funny you're the one that cries about having to work,but I'm the one who was judged for not being strong enough! You have no idea how hard the weight placed on my shoulders was."

You squirm under her, trying to break free,but Korra doesn't budge. You try kicking her with your leg, yet your efforts are shut down by her knee that's now placed between your legs, holding you down in place.

"Why are you so damn stubborn?" Korra grits her teeth,your faces mere inches apart, the arguing leading nowhere,just back and forth bickering.

"You're so annoying!" You groan out, resisting the urge to head but her. Korra's face looks like she's about to blow up,smoke practically coming out of her ears.

Korra pushes you further into the wall, drawing a gasp out of you. "Can't you shut up already? You're so insufferable!"

You raise a brow,a new idea popping in your mind. "Oh yeah? Why don't you make me? Bet you can't." She watches as your expression fills with mischief,a different look shining in your (e/c) eyes.

Korra stands in front of you, thinking of what to say now,you practically put her in a corner. Ironic since you're the one backed up.

"Nothing to say n-" before you could finish your sentence shock creeps into you, the feeling of her soft lips forcefully attached to yours silence the snarky remark that was about to be said.

She pushes in,hear leg rising up as a warning once you try closing your thighs.

Her hands tighten around your caged wrists, you push your chest in hers making her whine groan in your mouth.

The kiss is hungry and lustful,yet there's no denying that passion burns as hot as your fire.

Starting to feel light headed,you pull your head away from Korra's. Taking rapid breaths to chase away the light headiness.

"I wasn't expecting you to shut me up like that." You tilt your head away from her burning gaze. Cheeks pinkish and warm.

If she's honest, Korra doesn't really know what took over her,but she knew this was something she was hungry for,deep inside. Is this the reason why her glares would be directed to people getting overly friendly with you, lingering touches on your shoulder or waist. But never did she really get to grasp the reason why.

Korra releases your hands, instinctively your hands rub against one another, already feeling the future bruises.

"It worked, didn't it?" Korra raises a brow to match with her smirk.

You roll your eyes, mustering up a snarky answer to get back at her,that thought fades once she closes the distance between the two of you again,this time her hand wrapping on your neck,one finger holding your jaw in place, her other hand wrapped around your waist.

Your lips move in sink,both of you fighting,yet again, for control. Your tongues rubbing against each other while the kiss becomes more lustful and needy.

Your hands find themselves entangled in Korra's hair,then moving lower towards the back of her neck, pulling her in even more than before. Craving her touch.

You moan when her tigh rubs against you middle, of course she knows what she's doing. Korra takes that split of a moment to gain full control, dominating the kiss shared between you two.

Maybe ,just maybe the two of you don't despise each other as much as you claim.

This was such a fun thing to write! Come at me with more requests of the sort :)

korrasami and longing

please walk with me here, i wanna make a point.

i recently rewatched tlok, and remember someone pointed this out years ago after the finale dropped but i don't remember who was it, or where it was posted. i can't find it so i assume it's gone by now, and i wanted to give my own thoughts.

SO. we all know the 3 years korra and asami spent away from each other between book 3 and 4 is very important to their story. in reunion, asami tells korra she's been talking to her father again and is thinking about forgiving him. korra is concerned that hiroshi might wanna hurt her again, and asami goes off:

obviously korra was just worried and had no ill intentions, but asami's reaction is understandable. personally, i would at least feel a little bothered if someone who disappeared for years and refused to keep in touch after a while wanted to judge what i was doing with my life all of a sudden.

especially after having offered to give up everything to go with and support her in any way possible, and everything i got was a quick decline and a big ass ghosting after a couple of letters...

anyway. then we have this scene in kuvira's gambit:

i've watched some reactions on youtube and most people didn't GET it. it's not a surprise since it's a trend in avatar fandom to misunderstand korra's character a lot (and the writers fumbled a little bit with korrasamis development in b4 imo).

this is not a badass korra™ scene or something out of place, it's actually simple: korra knows how it feels to be distant from the ones you love and not being able to do much about it, because it happened to her. korra's body recovered relatively fast and she could've came back sooner but, as toph told her in the swamp, korra was unconsciously sabotaging herself so she wouldn't be susceptible to getting hurt again. still, it felt so horrible to be separated from someone she cared about that she --knowing that bataar jr had love and devotion for kuvira-- used it a fucking threat to get him to talk!

and we reach THE korrasami scene, where they finally get some time alone after the battle and things have cooled down a bit, and the first thing korra does is apologize:

this is one of the few times since coming back that korra actively shows regret from what happened. it's the only time she apologizes for it, and it's to asami.

asami's answer is heartbreaking, but it is what it is. she could've lost both korra AND her dad, the people she cared for the most, but she still has korra. she's here. and that's what matters now.

#to whoever wants to read it i guess #*runs away*#it's sad that korrasami didn't get as much development as they deserved #but I'll always find it cool that they have lots of parallels with the other couples of the show #i had to make collages to put all the needed screenshots sorry #this is terrible but whatever #korrasami #tlok #the legend of korra #korra #asami sato

At Last

This is another thing that's been sitting in my drafts basically done for a few months now. Was talking to my friend about how it would be cool if the Spirit World was a legit afterlife and it would be interesting but really sad if the Avatars were kept separate, then I wrote this at 2am and promptly forgot about it.

-----

By now, Kyoshi had been away from Rangi longer than she'd been with her. She'd been here longer than she'd been alive, actually.

Where here was, she didn't exactly know. Some space only accessible to the ghosts of Avatars long past and, on occasion, the current Avatar, who seldom graced them with her full presence. Instead, they watched her life play out like a performance, chiming in where they could, but often serving as little more than her captive audience. How lucky they were.

It wasn't the current Avatar's fault. Kyoshi actually quite liked the fierce young Korra, for all that she could like someone she'd spoken to once and only once. Korra was mostly Aang's in the way Kyoshi had been mostly Kuruk's, but they were all shackled to her and would be until the end of her life, at which point she would join them as prisoners of her successor.

It was a miserable fate, one Kyoshi had no idea she'd be subjected to until it happened. Some Avatars carried the burden with grace, as they had in life, but Kyoshi's Avatarhood had been anything but graceful. Why should her afterlife be any different? She hated it here, and she wasn't afraid to let it be known.

All the Avatars knew how she felt, and still would even if she hadn't screamed it for years upon her first arrival. They could feel each other in some strange way, like they were all part of the same organism that some of them, namely her, would love nothing more than to break away from.

No one spoke much. Yangchen and Kuruk had entertained her when she was new, as she'd done for Roku when he was new, but when stuck together until the end of time, people tended to run out of things to say.

So Kyoshi did nothing at all. She simply drifted, lost in memories, wishing and wishing that she could leave, or that her loved ones could join her, or that anything of meaning would happen to her.

She got her wish seventeen short years into the Era of Korra. The cycle broke and started anew, leaving everyone but the poor soul who hadn't yet joined them behind it. At long last, they were free.

They were still together when they reappeared, torn from what had been their home for so long and tossed into the real Spirit World, but there was no need to stay that way. Some left immediately, off to find loved ones or just see something new for once, but others stuck around to say goodbye.

Kyoshi nodded to Roku. Shook Kuruk's hand. Gave Yangchen a hug.

Then she was running, faster than she ever had in life, toward something she hadn't felt in centuries. It was her own dear heart, beating somewhere far away, still waiting after all this time. Kyoshi couldn't wait to see her again.

However, it was not Rangi that made her stop. Instead, it was a trio of spirits; a winged snake resting atop a living rock, beside what appeared to be a cloud of sand and pebbles. She recognized them all instantly, and they recognized her. They had become something new, but they had not forgotten what they had once been.

Her parents, she had no interest in. Perhaps one day - there was all the time in the world, after all - but not today. But Lek... she couldn't just pass him by.

"Hello, brother," she murmured. The other two seemed to realize she was not here for them and backed away, leaving her room to approach the boy she'd hardly known and yet managed to love and miss so fiercely.

He changed as she drew nearer, becoming the scrappy young Earthbender he'd been when they were still alive.

"It's been a while, sister," he replied. He stepped forward and embraced her.

"I've missed you." She was too tall to even rest her chin atop his head, so she just squeezed him tight. "The others...?"

"Kirima and Wong are always nearby," he said. "Topknot hangs around sometimes. She's not here now, though."

Kyoshi snorted upon hearing Rangi's old nickname. She'd almost forgotten it entirely. She wondered how many things had slipped her mind over the years.

"I have to go to her," Kyoshi said. "I'll come back to see you again, but I have to go to her now."

"We all understand," Lek promised, and released her. "When you come back, will you talk to them?"

He didn't look at them, but Kyoshi knew he meant her mother and father.

"I'll think about it," was the best she could give him. He must have matured greatly after being here so long, because he didn't press her. Instead, he smiled and let her move on.

Beyond him and her parents was a spacious forest, full of other spirits she knew were not the ghosts of humans, except for one. He stood out to her, and she stopped for him, a beautiful white bird that radiated fatherly love. Her true father. Kelsang.

It hurt so much to see him again, but it was a good pain. He flew to her, changing as he did, and that beloved old face brought tears to her eyes.

"I'm sorry," they both said at once, yet neither believed there was anything for them to forgive. They embraced fiercely, and a softly spoken "I love you," was their compromise.

They stood there, together again, for so long that Kyoshi thought Rangi might come crashing impatiently through the forest. It would've been nice, honestly. The thought reminded her of old times.

"Kuruk is free, too," Kyoshi mumbled into his shoulder, almost as an afterthought.

"I'll see him soon," Kelsang replied. "For now, you're looking for someone more important. Let me guide you."

Then, he was the bird again, winging away across a sky far brighter than that of the world from which they'd come. Kyoshi followed him, dazzled by the light in his form. She followed blindly, trusting, and he did not fail her.

They came to a flowering field beyond a sparkling river, where two bright red felines lay side by side. The creatures were quite literally identical, but Kyoshi could tell them apart easily. One was her mother-in-law, and the other was her very soul.

They rose together, their bronze eyes wide and waiting. Hei-Ran did not move or change as Kelsang landed beside her, a neighbor checking up on things.

Rangi was her old self in an instant, sprinting across the field to hurl herself into Kyoshi's waiting arms for the first time in centuries.

Her glowing girl's weight had been no great burden to her in life, and here they both felt weightless, but Kyoshi collapsed to her knees anyway, holding her beloved wife close with every selfish intention of keeping her there for all of eternity. Rangi didn't seem to mind one bit.

"How?" she asked through the most beautiful tears Kyoshi had ever seen. "I thought... the Avatars-"

"We're free," Kyoshi replied with a sob. "There's a new cycle and no need for us anymore. I can be with you again."

Rangi wept freely into Kyoshi's chest.

"I looked for you," she said. "I looked for you for years, even though every spirit I met told me the Avatars were somewhere else. I never accepted that I couldn't see you again."

"I'm here now." Free of the rules of etiquette, Kyoshi pressed a long overdue kiss to Rangi's scalp. "I'll be here forever."

Hi, i just found your blog and i love your Legend of Korra fics, especially the hcs for a best friend reader x korra! Can i request something between a nonbender fem!reader who's actually best friends with korra and her loving gf Asami. Sometimes it seems that the reader and korra share a singular braincell lol, and she can be quite cheeky and stubborn, she loves to push korra's buttons and see what will happen next. So my idea was that the 3 girls were hanging out together, and then the reader starts teasing korra, maybe about something embarrassing that has happened to her or something, until korra has enough of her crap and tackles her down (or uses her bending or wtv) and tickles the sh!t out of her until she remembers not to destroy the Avatar's dignity right in front of her girlfriend smh.

I need my fluff don't mind me lol. Anyway, feel free to ignore this or not, but if you do write it, thank you so much in advance! you rock :)

Hello Anon! THIS IS SO FLIPPIN CUTE OMG. I'm lowkey getting sibling vibes between Korra and the reader AHHH. okay, another platonic!korra fanfic coming up!

Don’t Mess With The Avatar | Platonic!Korra x Reader

╰┈➤ PLOT: You were tired of shopping. Asami dragged Korra out to go shopping and Korra dragged you. She was not going shopping without you there for support. When you all lay on the couch watching trash, something told you to tease the Avatar. Rookie mistake.

╰┈➤ WARNING: A Bit Of Platonic Asami and Korra x Reader (if you squint), Reader Stirs Up Trouble, Cursing, No Use Of Y/N, Barely Proofread

⍣ ೋ Enjoy!⍣ ೋ

It’s been a day of walking around Republic City, shopping, eating, and talking. Honestly, you were exhausted. The sun was shining down on you all day, your calves ached, and your shoes were starting to mend with the ground.

You found yourself ecstatic when Asami finally declared it was time to go home.

Now laying on the couch with your feet propped up on someone’s lap, (you didn’t care to find out who’s), you happily watched tv while munching on the leftovers you three bought earlier today.

“No! Please Laohan,” the girl on the show begged. She clasped her hands together as she kneeled in front of the tall man. “I wanna be with you! I wanna stay with you!” the girl was dressed in dark green royal wear, in a castle that was decorated with the colors red and brown.

Korra scoffed. “She should’ve thought of that before she cheated on him!”

“You should’ve thought of that before you cheated on me,” said Laohan, the man in red. He shook his leg to loosen the girl’s grip. He tried to walk away. She wailed and wailed until he was finally able to walk away without her.

Korra gasped. “He just said what I said! See, I told you he and I are like two peas in a pod.”

“Or the script is terribly predictable,” Asami commented, looking over at her girlfriend with a sly and unamused look. Korra stuck her tongue out.

“Whatever. It just proves Laohan’s an awesome person just like me.”

You cackled, a little louder than intended.

Korra deadpanned. “What? Am I not an awesome person?” “No, no, you’re a great person, Kor,” you snickered.

“That’s not what I said though.” the Avatar positioned herself so that she faced you head on. “Loahan is an awesome person, just like me. We’re both cool, great leaders, and we have so much coolness that it translates well in stressful moments such as a lady begging for your love and forgiveness.” the girl gestured to the screen.

Loahan was now in a meeting, ignoring the girl who begged for his forgiveness again.

“Mm, I’m not so sure about that second one, Korra,” you looked over at her. “I’ve seen you freak out over Asami just because she looked your way.” Asami chuckled as you go on. “This was before you even knew you liked her, by the way.”

The Avatar scoffed. “Okay, so?”

“Sooo, while she may not have been asking for your forgiveness or begging you to wed her, you were still a mess because she was sooooo pretty and it was soooo unfair that Mako had a pretty girlfriend like her and not you,” you smirked, watching the Avatar scramble around with a blush on her face. “Okay, but, that was one time.”

“Au Contarie. It was multiple times. One was when we were having dinner before you two got together, another was when she was riding a motorcycle and took her helmet off and her hair was flowing freely with the wind, and another time was whe--”

“OKAY!” Korra exclaimed. Her face matched the red on Asami’s jacket. “So, there were a couple of times where I freaked out over Asami’s beauty but, can you blame me?” She grabs the fire nation woman by the waist. “She’s pretty, smells nice, and makes some cool ass stuff.”

Asami awed. She kissed Korra’s cheek and moved some of her hair from her face. “Thank you, Kor. That’s really sweet.”

“Yeah, yeah,” You rolled your eyes. “but you’re still a bit of a wreck. Most definitely not as cool or nonchalant as Loahan.” you paused the tv show. You guys were talking too much. It was important to see every single scene in this show. Look away for one second and suddenly the show’s in a different time period with new characters who speak a different language. “Okay, now I’m starting to think you just want to embarrass me.” Korra frowned.

“Nope, just want to squash your ego a bit.”

“Hey now,” Asami started. “Let’s play nice. No need to get all feisty and mean.”

“I’m not mean! I’m just reliving memories. Like, do you remember that time when we all went out for ice cream and Korra got that triple scoop? And then as we walked back to the car, she tripped over some rocks and then–”

Korra tackled you off the couch and onto the ground. She scrambled as you try to break away from her grip with a laugh.

“Korra!! Let me go!”

“No! You talk too much and I’ve had enough of you exposing me in front of my girlfriend!!”

You thought Korra tackling you to the ground was the only thing she was going to do to keep you quiet. Unfortunately, you were wrong. Her hands found their way to your sensitive sides and she started tickling the shit out of you.

You squirmed more and laughter escaped your lips; trying to escape out of her grip was impossible. Though her hands devilishly tickled your sides and messed with the skin, her hold on you was strong.

It was torture.

Her fingers skillfully danced across your skin. Her nails made the tickling even worse. She purposefully made sure to graze her fingernails over your stomach as you squirmed underneath her.

With tears in the corner of your eyes, you pleaded the Avatar for mercy.

“Please! Please,” you begged between laughter. “I’ll be good, I promise! I won’t say anything.”

Korra pinned your hands to your sides. Her eyes narrowed as she made eye contact. “You swear?”

You panted. Desperate, you shook your head yes.

“Eh, I don’t believe you.” Her hands attacked your sides again.

“Korra!” Asami removed her hands from your side. She glared at her girlfriend who was pouting and laughing at the same time.

“Hey, I was having fun!” Korra whined.

“Oh, come on. They deserve mercy. They apologized!”

Asami was right. Your sides ached and tears of laughter slid down your face. Your face probably changed in color from how much you were laughing and the lack of breath you had. You turned onto your side to catch your breath.

Korra groaned. “Fine!” She ripped her hands away from Asami’s. “That better be the last time you try to expose me in front of my girlfriend, got it?” Korra jabbed a finger into your thigh.

You exhaled and waved a hand at her. “Swear. Never again.”

every even number in the love your fandom game!

Oh bro here we go...

1- 3 things you like about your fandom:

1.1- It has a lot of content!

1.2- You can experiment and play with many characters and concepts, there are no limits!

1.3- it has a lot of nice and talented people!

2- A headcanon you where not sure about first but fandom made you change your mind:

Mmmmm... not sure about this one. I think I used to Headcanon Amon as Asexual but thanks to some nice mutuals now I can see him bisexual.

3- A character that fandom made you appreciate:

Asami and Katara. Before I get in here I was neutral about all the characters (of course my three main blorbos are the exceptions), but with the right fics and art I could connect with them a little bit better.

4- Say something nice about a ship you don't ship;

Not into Korrasami really, but if there's one thing I can't deny is that the ship has good artists, (haven't read fics but I guess there are good writers too).

5- A thing you see often in fics:

We collectively refuse to accept when a character we love is dead in canon. (canon is clay and we can shape it into whatever we want).

6- A thing you see often in fan arts:

When we make Korra strong and pretty. Also Yue art, she is so pretty and I heard that if you are a cool artist you have drawn her at least once! (Please don't mind if you haven't drawn her, I am sure your art is great).

7- Tropes you enjoy to read/write/draw:

To draw- arranged marriage, basically any amorralok au where Tarrlok and Amon live, for Azulaang any modern, cute or funny comfort au, (tea or coffee shop, school au, flowershop), and love drawing dirty mechanic/prince Irosami.

I guess any cute, comfort au actually.

To read- Arranged marriage, castaway Amon, equalists plot continuation, GIMEEE.

Also love coffee shop aus and spirit traveling au's for Azulaang.

Irosami is interesting with equalist or spy Asami au's but love some good cute domestic aus.

Basically anything related with spirit travels, equalists continuation, action and fluff included.

8- Something you would like the fandom to love aittle bit more:

Any ship and character that doesn't get as much appreciation as it deserves around the fandom.

9- A ship that it's not your Otp but you ship:

Yuetara, have neglected it WAY too long but whenever I see it I appreciate it.

10- A blog or mutual that has made your experience in fandom better:

Can't name all the people that have made my experience better, fortunately, there have been too many nice mutuals. Some are no longer active but to name a few I would dare to say @flameo-trashman @crookedmouth-mountainbones @lotus-ashi @orangepanic @moreamorra @amorra-tlok @writebecauseyoucannotbreathe and @mokonahapuuuuuu

Thank you all for your kindness and your presence in this chaotic site!

11- An artwork/fic you are proud about:

12- Say something nice to a mutual!

Orange, Lotus, Crooked, Neffy, Write, Mokonahapuuuu and Moreamorra: Never stop being awesome and having cool art and fics.

And for everyone else reading this: you are great too and your presence enriches this fandom.

13- Favorite fandom event?

Ship week! (loved the avatarsunkenshipweek by the way).

14- A ship that makes you smile:

Mostly Amorra but Korrlok, Irohsami and Azulaang hold an apecial place in my heart. 💜💙🤎❤🧡💛❤️‍🔥

15- A character that makes you smile:

Baby Korra, she is too precious. Baby Noatak and Tarrlok too, must protect.

16- A thing in canon you would like to get noticed by the fandom?

THE PARALELISMS BETWEEN AMON AND KORRA, THEY ARE INSANE.

17- A thing in canon everyone likes, including you:

Seeing Iroh and Aang back in tlok and Jinora getting her tattoos.

18- A tag you follow?

Just Tlok

19- Current fandoms:

Again just Tlok haha.

20- Your first fandom:

Can't recall the first one I got interested in.

21- A fandom you miss:

Undertale.

22- Mutual you have known the longest?

Mokonahapuu, it's been a lot since we knew through this lil place.

23- A fandom you are curious about thabks to a mutual:

The dragon Prince.

24- How has fandom positively impacted in you?

Mutuals helped me to work in my art and storytelling skills. 💛

25- Advice to take care of you in fandom spaces:

Do not get too invested in any fandom, it can be overwhelming to deal with too many opinions so it's better to try to be nice and not worry about what the rest could say.

Get 2-5 psychos, (affectionate), and stick together, it will probably help you a lot.

Also, you don't have to like what everyone else does or agree to everything, not everything is made for you or a single person. Keep in mind you will have to learn to cope with the things you dislike.

Finally, look for other activities to entertain yourself, focusing too much in fandom can be bad in the long term.

Why do we love the red lotus so much?

It’s no secret that among the avatar/lok fandom that the red lotus in season 3 are some of the legend of korra’s most beloved villains. I started to wonder why that is, and I’m writing down all my thoughts because of course I am.

1: Cool character designs

Visually, the red lotus are super-interesting, especially when you put them altogether. Zaheer’s all-gray monochrome look and his little change from long hair and beard to baldness, and his eyebrow scar. Ghazan and his tattoos and that mustache he grew when he was ten. Ming-Hua is small but mighty, waterbends without arms and uses said waterbending AS ARMS, another shining example of the avatar franchise’s portrayal of disability. And P’li being a seven-feet-tall combustionbender with a cool braid. They look cool. What more do you need?

2: They’re human

Probably part of what makes the red lotus so popular is that they feel pretty human. Obviously Zaheer is the leader of the group, and I’d personally have loved some more moments reminiscent of the “seriously? right now?” scene, but they’re clearly all besties. Ghazan, as mentioned above, complaining about P’li and Zaheer making out in the truck; P’li getting a piggyback ride from Ming-Hua on her way out of prison and calling her a show-off; Ming-Hua calling the boys ugly mugs; Ghazan commenting, upon seeing Zaheer fly for the first time, that “i guess [Zaheer] doesn’t need a ride”; etc. They have distinct personalities from each other, with Zaheer being the planner and leader, P’li being quiet and menacing (unless she’s with her friends and her man), Ghazan being the chill, laid-back one, and Ming-Hua being snarky and hot-tempered. P’li and Zaheer obviously have their romance, which is sweet even if fans (*cough* me *cough*) would’ve loved to see more of it. They work incredibly well together as a team and in battle. Ghazan worries about P’li when she’s injured at Zaofu, P’li gets mad at Zaheer when he gets discovered on Air Temple Island and alerts the city to their presence, Ming-Hua and Ghazan are visibly surprised, sad, and confused all at once when Zaheer achieves flight and they learn that P’li is dead, Ming-Hua has the odd habit of sitting in trees and the backs of chairs instead of the actual chair...there are plenty of little moments that drive home the fact that they’re people who care deeply about each other.

3: They’re badass af

I mean, seriously. Zaheer was arguably more feared than the other three even as a non-bender, and is beaten with airbending only by his overconfidence and airbending inexperience against strong bending masters. P’li is a combustion bender who can a) talk, and b) curve her combustion beams. Ghazan is the franchise’s first canon lavabender, and Ming-Hua is its first bender who’s missing limbs. She supposedly uses her torso and legs to waterbend, despite the popular fan theory that she also uses at least some psychic bending. They have unique abilities that expand the possibilities of bending, make for unique and interesting fight scenes, and give our heroes a genuine challenge. Neither side is ridiculously powered-down; Bolin and Mako put up a good fight against Ming-Hua and Ghazan, for example, given their two seasons of battle experience and previous pro-bending careers, but still get their asses kicked and are captured, because they’ve never fought these kinds of benders before! How the hell do you stop a lady who can basically waterbend with her mind? How can Bolin stop Ghazan when all of Bolin’s ammunition is thrown right back at him in an even deadlier form?

4: No canon backstories

Hear me out here: I do agree that we could’ve gotten more hints of their backstories and how they all met, etc., but they don’t have a canon backstory like Amon, giving them that air of mystery. I love speculating on their pasts, which I couldn’t do if they had them in canon. But idk, I feel like this just depends on what you like in your villains.

In short, a large reason the red lotus is beloved is because they’re so different from anything we’ve previously seen in the franchise. They’re fresh, new faces who give us what is widely considered Legend of Korra’s best season.

#the red lotus #zaheer #p'li #ghazan #ming-hua #lok the red lotus #lok season three #legend of korra #p'heer

Rewatching ATLA again (actually I just finished)... Honestly it still holds up - the writing is amazing, Zuko/Aang parallels are good, and even their worst episodes are just at okay and not actively bad and there's not that many of them. Every character is developed, the humor is funny, and the worldbuilding is amazing. I like that Aang has flaws but he grows and steps up to fight the firelord. I also think on rewatch, I appreciate Iroh more and the overarching theme of not compromising who you are morally to win.

Comparatively, with Korra I feel like the characters of Team Avatar 2 are not as well developed, except for Korra. Also, there's a lot of unevenness with the seasons/episodes - there are high highs (Avatar Wan episode, Season 1 is pretty solid) but also low lows (I hate hate hate the romance subplots - especially Makorra, also Desna/Eska but this is more of a mild dislike). I'm still in s1 and I'm liking the equalists plot - it makes sense that non-benders would feel this way and I like this as a challenge for Korra (the non-spiritual blockhead of avatars haha). The fights are cool (the non pro bending ones - I'm so glad that never made it past season 1 it was so boring). The animation is fluid and the painted backgrounds are beautiful. I like the worldbuilding of republic city and the older adults are done well (Tenzin, Lin, Pema). I forgot how much I loved Tenzin.

Side note: I do really love Korra - I am not a Korra hater - like actually on rewatch her actions in s1 make a lot of sense. She's basically been kept in an enclave isolated from people growing up so it makes sense that she really does not understand social mores.

Looking forward to finishing another rewatch of Korra - side note, I feel like I might rank s2 lower this time around. I really like the Spirit World stuff and Avatar Wan, but from my memory, the writing and character motivations overall may be the weakest of the Korra seasons.

A few bad but fairly typical P&P takes got me thinking about ... Mako from Legend of Korra, actually, and also, just fandom dynamics.

Many of you weren't in that fandom (or perhaps any fandom) back when LOK aired, but I was very active in it. I actually liked—and still like—some aspects of LOK better than ATLA, and I certainly liked the fandom better than ATLA's.

That said, LOK fandom was still less a dumpster fire than a landfill explosion. To this day, I couldn't even identify the single character who got hit the hardest by LOK fandom's approach to discourse, which like most fandoms today, painted a thin veneer of social justice over good old-fashioned stanning/ship wars, but did it much more transparently.

In any case, if I were going to try and pick the character who got hit hardest by the LOK discourse truck, Mako would at least be in the running. The later days of LOK fandom can give the sense that the basic ship war from Day 1 was Korra/Mako (Makorra) vs Korra/Asami (Korrasami). But my strong impression back when the first book aired was that the ship war dynamic was much more Korra/Mako vs Korra/anyone-but-Mako.

There were plenty of not-Mako options. Korra/Bolin was pretty big for awhile. Korra/Tahno had a substantial following during/after Book 1—Tahno was the waterbender from the rival pro-bending team who got curb-stomped by Amon. There was, of course, Korra/Asami (seemed like no chance in hell at the time, but sweet). It was even a good fandom for hero/villain shippers like me.

I think a lot of this activity ultimately coalesced around Korrasami. But at the time, it hadn't quite happened yet. The fandom was wanky (sorry, discourse-y) about virtually every character, but a lot of people really, really, really hated Mako in particular—Mako haters could encompass people who liked or hated the first season, people who loved or hated Korra, people still mad about Zutara, whatever. I didn't like him at the end of Book 1, myself, though I couldn't buy into the screeds about how abusive and exploitative and otherwise problematic he supposedly was.

Since I didn't actually have much of a stake in the main ship wars, I've always found this dynamic more interesting than anything else in terms of fandom behavior, because I've seen it happen many times, but I hadn't often seen it at the level that Mako hatedom took it to back then. So I was thinking about how this happens, and the particular way it happened with Mako back in the aftermath of Book 1.

Early in Book 1, Mako is revealed to be a tragic, brooding orphan with a slight edge trying to support his sweet-natured younger brother and himself through a mixture of industrial work and magic sports. He gets swept off his feet (literally and metaphorically) by a beautiful, very cool, very rich girl (Asami) and enters a romantic relationship with her, only to feel increasingly drawn to his beautiful, very cool, very powerful friend Korra, our heroine.

Some people pointed out that "which awesome and hot girl do I choose :( it's really hard :( :(" is not the most sympathetic quandary for a character to be in, and for the target audience, particularly unsympathetic coming from a young man. And the choice to repeatedly cut from shippy Mako/Korra moments to Asami looking upset didn't help (especially since Asami lost almost everything when she chose to stick with them and turn on her father). And Mako's eventual apology to Asami was genuinely a bit underwhelming—it's basically "mistakes were made."

And, yeah, those things are true. But fandom is not always so OTT hostile about the man in that kind of love triangle taking awhile to get his shit figured out, even when the man is much older than Mako, a literal teenager. Like, I never thought I'd compare Avatar to Bridgerton, but the Edwina-Anthony-Kate dynamic seems roughly similar and most of the fandom came away from it really invested in Anthony/Kate and sympathetic to them. It depends on the fandom and on the depiction.

It's not that Mako didn't screw up in Book 1. It's that the reaction—he's an awful person for pretty ordinary missteps and some poor relationship choices, he's an abuser, he's the worst character in the show, whatever—just seemed wildly disproportionate.

And also, yeah, overreacting to minor misdeeds and reducing a character to ultra-exaggerated versions of their worst selves out of sheer annoyance is a fandom staple (especially when the misdeeds take up as much air as the early LOK love triangle seemed to for many people, with other aspects of the story crammed into limited space). But the extent of the hatred still struck me as rather extraordinary, especially since he seemed to go from reasonably well-liked to feverishly hated in a short period of time.

My theory after B1 aired was that this really came from the intersection of a fandom that was very prone to this kind of exaggeration and poor faith readings with the actual structure of his characterization in B1. We quickly discover his tragic past with his parents being murdered, and that he's been struggling on the streets, and has to look after a cuddly but clueless brother who doesn't seem to get the urgency of their problems. He uses his prodigious lightningbending abilities to make just enough money in a sort of magic power plant to get by in combination with pro-bending successes. Essentially, we're given far more than the minimum required to sympathize with him and tolerate the occasional asshole moment.

But later on in B1, a lot of his characterization and scenes are directly tied up in the love triangle, and many of his original, somewhat more ... pressing concerns, end up getting pretty much resolved in one way or another. So a lot of those original sources of sympathy that were so concentrated in his early scenes are no longer a concern, while others are no longer being emphasized by the narrative.

And it's certainly the case that Mako was much less widely and disproportionately hated later on, at least in my fandom experience. Some people still hated Makorra with a passionate fire, but Mako himself seemed much more endearing to many people once the narrative dialed down the love triangle, explicitly paid attention to his loyalty as a friend, his basic heroism, his close yet sometimes difficult relationship with his brother, and a certain adorkableness that was not absent in B1, but which wasn't as heavily emphasized.

I don't mean to argue that this later narrative treatment was necessarily better, but I do think the more even distribution of sympathetic qualities or revelations about him alongside his flaws made him much more palatable to a lot of the fandom. It's like people ... just kind of forgot why many of them originally liked him unless the narrative went out of its way to remind them.

This is really long, but I did feel that B1 kind of overplayed its hand with Mako early in the season, and then underplayed it in the later parts of the season, and fandom being fandom, people enormously overreacted to their sense of what was going on in that phase of the story (for many: ARGH!!) and not all the information they actually had.

This isn't a hill to die on for me, exactly. It was just how I saw what was going on—this kind of toxic mix of fandom bullshit with some peculiar choices in the structure of his characterization and what got emphasized (or even mentioned) where. That is still my general impression, though—that the fandom's response wasn't coming from nowhere, but that we were getting this kind of intersection of a fandom even more prone than most to over-reaction and poor faith assumptions + some genuine oddities in structure and emphases in his characterization during that first season.

What does this have to do with P&P? Well, I'll get to that. But this post is honestly long enough already, so I'll do the follow-up tomorrow, probably.

#anghraine babbles #more than usual!#long post #i need a tag that's not a main tag for this tbh #i guess i'll start with #lok fanwank #mako critical #it's not the point but definitely digs into some of the stuff in the show that people were overreacting to #general fanwank

Asami Sato x Female Air Bender Series: Part Two.

Part One Here

As things esculate in Republic City so does your relationship with Asami but with civil war looming, a jealous boyfriend and some Avatar antics in the mix will you ever get your chance with her?

___________

The police search of Asami’s house actually revealed a secret tunnel to an underground factory Hiroshi was using to supply the equalists with weapons. Everyone was shocked and you apologised to Korra for not believing her and all was well again between you...but Asami’s world was falling apart.

Asami arrived on Air Temple Island early the following morning and you saw how nervous she looked. From the look on her face you guessed she hadn’t slept a wink and watched as she surveyed the island with a wary expression. Asami finally spotted you and she smiled. You smiled back and came to stand beside her with Korra. "Hey, wow you travel so light only 20 bags?" you teased and Asami rolled her eyes hiding a smile "just be glad I only brought one car". You laughed "wow you are slumming it! Come with us and we'll show you the barracks". Of course your brother Meelo came snooping and you managed to get rid of him with some air bending. Asami laughed as Meelo spun round and round in the air tornado you’d created. "Will he be okay?" she asked watching him struggle to break out. You nodded "he’ll be fine. It’ll wear off in like 5 minutes...5 max either way it’ll teach him to not be a creep around women". "Uh huh...well we can’t all be as smooth as you" Asami replied. You knew that was sarcasm but smiled brightly "thank you I do try" making Asami laugh.

You showed Asami to her room and asked if she needed any help unpacking. She refused but when you said you didn’t mind she agreed. Mako found you hours later laid on the sofa together laughing. You’d only managed to unpack half the boxes which Mako didn’t seem to find it funny. When Asami went to the bathroom he spun on you. "Look what's your deal?" Mako asked and you paused "what do you mean?". "Well are you trying to steal my girlfriend or not?". You frowned "One I can’t steal Asami because she doesn’t belong to you and two of course not!". Mako blushed "I didn't mean she...I just meant after what Korra said, you like her?". You paused "yes. I think Asami is wonderful and before I knew she was dating anyone I was interested in her but I respect the fact she’s got a partner and won’t try anything with her. You have my word, airbender promise". Mako pauses "but why not? Many people in your position would". You shrugged "it’s not honest or a good way to build a relationship. Plus it’s just a pretty horrible thing to do to Asami and you. I'd never do anything like that". Mako was taken back but seemed satisfied "oddly I actually believe you" he said "thanks I guess...for being so cool". You smiled "no problem but treat her right yeah? Asami is a great girl". Mako blushed but nodded "will do" and walked away. You watched him go and sighed, you doubted he’d suddenly start treating her better but who knew.

After dinner Asami said she wanted to take a walk. You thought it would be good for her but when she hadn’t returned an hour later you grew worried. You began searching the grounds and found her sitting staring at the ocean. "You okay?" you asked coming to sit beside her and Asami jumped before nodding. "Well that was convincing" you chuckled and Asami sighed "sorry I was just thinking about my dad". You frowned "Do you want to talk about him?". Asami was about to say no when she saw your eyes and she felt relaxed and comfortable. You had this calming aura and it affected her every time. So Asami talked to you about why she thought her father was doing what he was doing. Payback for her mother’s death. "See my mom was the love of my father’s life. She had a really bad pregnancy with me and almost died giving birth. My dad was terrified of losing her and so they agreed to not have any more children. He valued and loved her too much to risk her life so when she was killed it was his worst nightmare. He’d done so much to protect her and to have her taken despite all they’d done...I thought he’d gotten better with time but clearly not. He got better because he just shifted his attention to revenge...I know this in no way justifies what he did but it makes me feel sad thinking about it. I keep wondering if we’d talked about her more or gone to therapy or something it might’ve been different". You frowned “see the thing is you have no idea if it would have changed anything. It might not have done anything to change your father and even if it would have, it’s not your fault that you didn’t. Asami you were the kid, it wasn’t your job to make your parent happy. That burden wasn’t yours and anything your father did is his fault alone. You did nothing wrong”. Tears welled in Asami’s eyes and she wasn’t even sure why, maybe it was just nice to hear someone say that and reassure her? Either way she tried to blink back the tears but one fell down her face. You passed her a tissue and watched her, your face full of concern. Asami wondered why you were looking at her like that. Why did you care for her so much? You were so kind to her but Asami had no idea what she’d done to deserve it. Either way she decided to take the comfort and smiled at you softly “thankyou y/n I...I needed that”. You smiled “no problem, if you ever need to talk about your parents or just have a cry my door’s always open”. Asami smiled and nodded. “I’m gonna head back inside, come in soon yeah” you told her patting her shoulder and you walked away leaving Asami feeling lighter from your conversation. It suddenly occurred to her she couldn’t have had that conversation with Mako. He wasn’t good with emotions or comforting people verbally. Asami wasn’t sure why she was comparing the two of you all of a sudden and she shook the odd thought from her head. Mako was her boyfriend and she was happy with him...wasn’t she?

When Korra told you they were all going into the city to hunt the equalists and break curfew you were down of course. The car was only meant for four people so it was a bit of a tight squeeze and you got sat between Mako and Korra of all people. You weren’t sure if you were reading it right but there seemed to be some tension between the two of them and Asami. You meant to ask Korra about it but didn’t get a chance. You soon found out Tarrloq was rounding up non-benders and arresting them for protesting the power shortages to their homes. Things soon escalated and you watched the situation staying neutral until the guards touched Asami. “Hey get off me!” you heard Asami yell and turned to see one was trying to handcuff her and your anger appeared. "Get your hands off her!" you cried and air bent them away from her harshly. You grabbed Asami’s arm and helped her up "are you okay?". She nodded "thanks" and stepped closer to you and with good reason, the other guards had seen what you’d done and were closing in. "The thorn in my side that is y/n" Tarlock glared "are you really dragging the whole air nation into this for some girl?". "Are you really going to judge a whole nation by the actions of one person? Here I was thinking the a council member from the Water Tribe would know why such prejudices are so wrong" you shot back. Tarlock glared "she’s a non-bender out after curfew, move aside or we arrest you too". You laughed "i’d like to see you try, ever gone toe to toe with an airbender before? I thought not". Your cocky smile didn’t put him off and Tarlock just glared signalling his men to move in. Evidently the guards had not fought an airbender before. You wiped the floor with them, literally but more and more kept appearing. When Tarlock decided enough was enough he took out a stun gun and fired it at you. It hit you square in the back and you fell down convulsing. “Y/n!” Asami cried holding you and Korra’s temper peaked. “Tarrloq!” she yelled and raised a huge earth barrier ready to throw it at him. However Tarrloq soon twisted the situation and made Korra back down. By then you were more aware of the situation and you told Korra it was okay. As the Avatar she couldn’t get arrested but you were fine. “Go get my dad” you told her as Asami helped you into the police van “i’ll keep everyone entertained in prison”. Korra grinned despite herself and nodded to you “I’ll get you all out I promise!”. You waved to her as best you could and the doors were shut carting you off to prison.

While Korra and Tenzin were hurrying to broker your escape you were relaxing in your cell with Asami now fully recovered. "How are you so calm?" Asami asked and you shrugged "air bender?". She laughed "so now you're using the stereotype". You smiled "well when it’s convenient why not? Plus I've been in jail before...Lin’s a good host". "Really? How!" she cried and you chuckled "okay so I was 14 and i thought nobody would mind if I practised my air dives of the top of the tower. Long story short I caused a public disturbance and scared a lot of people...a few cars crashed and I may or may not have ruined an expensive bridge but my dives got better and it only cost me a night in prison!". Asami just stared at you "you're the oddest person I've ever met". You fanned your face "Asami Sato you sweet talker, do you flirt with all the girls like this?". Asami laughed "I just mean I've never met anyone like you. Every story you have is so odd and interesting I...it baffles me". You smiled "coming from someone as impressive as you that means a lot” and Asami blushed. There was tension in the atmosphere so you smiled "hey wanna play a game?".

Lin opened the door and groaned "really y/n you're playing prison ping pong again?". You laughed "well why not? And this time i have someone to play with!". "How are you your father’s daughter?" Lin asked. "Well see my mom and dad were drunk one night and they got these urges...". "Stop it!” Lin cried and Asami snorted with laughter. "You're so odd for an Airbender" Lin groaned and you grinned "so i’ve been told” looking to Asami who blushed. “Alright do you want to get out of here or not?” Lin asked and that caught your attention.

After your stint in prison things got even worse. Amon made his move and officially took over Republic City. Your family was forced to flee but you wanted to fight and seeing as you’d just turned 18 there was nothing your parents could do to stop you. So they wished you good luck and told you and Korra to protect one another. You did and soon took refuge in the Republic City sewer system. It wasn’t great but it was safe and dry so you were happy however there was trouble in paradise.

Mako had been acting very cold to Asami and to make matters worse he was tripping over himself to do anything Korra asked. Mako and Asami seemed to be on the outs but you didn’t want any part of it. You noticed Asami was upset and tried being there for her but also wanted to keep a clear distance so it wasn’t like you were moving in...Asami however was seeking you out more than ever and you realised you were her closest friend and ally here. "Do you think he likes Korra?" Asami asked one day and you paused. You knew there was a kiss but Korra was your friend so you didn’t want to sell her out. You bit your lip "they do have a history together and I think if you're really worried you should asked Mako what happened between them". Asami’s eyes widened "something happened?". You nodded "yes but I don’t want to betray Korra’s trust. She’s my friend and it should come from her or Mako". You were worried Asami would be angry but she nodded "I get that. Thanks anyway y/n" and she walked away.

Unfortunately living in such close quarters you all heard the argument when Asami confronted Mako about his past with Korra. Mako didn’t take the conversation well and he dragged you into it. “Well y/n’s only saying this because she likes you! She’s breaking us up on purpose” you heard Mako yell and winced “that is so not what I was doing” you muttered. Korra nodded sympathetically when suddenly Asami appeared and made a beeline for you, Mako trailing. Korra and Bolin made themselves scarce and you wished you could do that too. You considering airballing out of here but figured that’d make things more awkward, so you decided to take it like a grown-up and waited for Asami.

“Is it true?” she asked reaching you and you shook your head “no I’d never break you up on purpose!”. “So you don’t like me?” Asami asked. You hesitated “I do have feelings for you but Asami what he’s saying isn’t true!”. “Ow come you’ve been invested in our break up from the start!” Mako called and you rolled your eyes “stop trying to dig yourself out of this by dragging me and Korra into it”. “Korra? Why Korra?” Asami asked and you froze “no reason...she’s nothing to do with this”. Asami saw the look on Mako’s face and shook her head “I’m such an idiot, so did you and Korra plan this?" Asami asked "break me and Mako up for fun?". "No not at all! I didn’t even know you were dating Mako when we saw each other at the party". "But you did every occasion after...I can’t believe this". "Asami there’s nothing to believe! Yes Korra joked about the idea but I told her no and she moved on. Neither of us were planning anything we just both happened to like you and Mako". "Quite a coincidence" Asami said in a sarcastic tone and you sighed "Asami please you have to believe me! I'd never do anything to upset you". "Why would I believe you? I have literally no reason to" Asami stated and she stormed away.

You noticed Mako watching and glared "why did you do that?". "Do what? Tell my girlfriend you have a thing for her? Maybe for the same reason you told her about me and Korra". You glared "i didn’t do that to try and get with Asami i did it because she deserved to know especially with how you've been treating her". "How I’ve...I've not done anything". You rolled your eyes "Mako it's clear you like Korra do so do the right thing and choose one of them! You'll only hurt both of them if you keep going like this and they’re far too good for that so do everyone a favour and step up!". You stormed away unaware Asami had heard everything.

After that things were understandably pretty awkward. Poor Bolin was stuck right in the middle of it and you tried relieving some of the pressure by teaming up with him. Asami went with General Iroh and Korra went with Mako. Your and Bolin’s plan was going great...until Asami and Iroh got captured. You managed to get into the compound but couldn’t find Asami. You heard smashing and ran towards the sound only to find Asami facing off with her father. You were momentarily stunned before you realised Asami was losing. “Haven’t you hurt her enough?” you yelled and used a large air gust to knock him into a wall. “Y/n?” Asami asked and you nodded “are you okay?”. She nodded and her father got back up. You stepped between him and Asami and he laughed “you really think a mere air bender can stop one of these suits?”. “Haven’t you heard? I’m not just any Airbender” you replied and leapt onto your own air scooter.

The fight was more difficult than you’d anticipated. The suit was too heavy for you to knock it around properly and you’d already been electrocuted once but you wouldn’t let Hiroshi win and hurt Asami. Asami herself was also fighting tooth and nail to help you but it was hard with the damage to her suit. Finally you managed to knock out the blasters on the suit and focused your attention on the back which Asami told you had the power system. Your goal was to prise the suit apart and so you kept focusing your airbending on that area while also trying to avoid getting hit by the metal arms. You managed to knock the suit to the floor and Asami leapt on the legs “go y/n!” she cried and you ran up and gripped the back of the suit. You used your airbending and prised the suit open inch by inch. Your arms were screaming for you to stop but you were so close so you kept going. Finally the back of the suit fell apart and you felt something pop in your arm. You cried out sinking to your knee but managed to stand after a few breaths. The suit fell apart and when Hiroshi crawled out of the suit you pinned him to the floor with your good arm. “Y/n?” you heard Asami call and she froze when she saw your limp arm “you’re hurt”. “I’m okay, are you?” you asked. “Yeah...y/n I’ve been thinking” when Bolin showed up with General Iroh.

After that Hiroshi was arrested and you all returned to Republic City to find the rebellion crumbling. Korra had done it! You were thrilled even if your arm was killing you. Your family returned the second they heard the news and of course they began fussing over you. Tenzin actually insisted on flying you all the way to your grandmother Katara in the South Pole to have it healed and made you stay overnight there too. So you didn’t return to Republic City until a few days later but when you got back all your friends were there waiting. Korra rushed to hug you first and you winced loudly as she knocked your arm. “Y/n i’m so sorry!” she cried and you grinned “I’m just messing with you! Katara herself healed it, it’s as good as new! Try punching me in it!”. Korra got ready to but much to Tenzin’s relief Asami rushed forwards hugging you “i’m so glad you’re okay! Thank you so much for saving me from my father”. You were very pleased she didn’t seem angry at you anymore and you smiled “you never have to thank me for something like that Asami”. Asami blushed but you didn’t notice as Bolin bundled into you picking you up. “Hey be careful with her” Mako called and you paused, shocked him of all people would be worried about you. “I erm...it’s good to see you’re okay and I’m sorry about what happened before”. You smiled and punched his arm “i’m sorry too, friends?”. Mako nodded but you noticed his eyes on Korra behind you. You shot her a “you have to fill me in later” look and followed your family inside.

Your siblings had insisted on throwing you a welcome home party which was adorable if a little taxing. Ikki wouldn’t leave your side, Jinora kept watching you anxiously and rushed to grab anything for you and Meelo...well he showed you he loved you by demanding you watch him airbend. You finally managed to get away with Korra’s help and stood outside overlooking the ocean. “Hey can I join you?” a voice called and you turned to see Asami. “Unless you want to be alone?” she asked and you shook your head “no join me, I’ve missed that Sato humour i’m so fond of”. Asami smiled and came to stand beside you. “The ocean looks beautiful” she said suddenly and you smirked looking at her “yeah it does...are you okay? Just that was totally a line you say when you don’t know what else to say”. Asami laughed but was blushing like crazy “you can always see straight through me...I’ve actually been wanting to talk to you since the day of the battle...I need to tell you something but it’s kind of difficult so can you not reply until I’m done?”. You nodded “of course” and took a deep breath to prepare.

Asami did the same thing and then locked eyes with you “First I wanted to apologise for what happened with Mako. I spoke to Korra and she told me you never planned anything and how you were telling the truth. I also want to thank you for standing up to Mako for me, I heard you do it after I’d just yelled at you and I’ve never had anyone be so kind to me before. I think that’s why I assumed you must’ve had something to gain but no, you’re just that type of person”. You went to comment you weren’t a saint but remembered your promise so closed your mouth.

"And then the way you defended me against my father...the truth is you're the strongest person I've ever met" Asami admitted "you have this infectious personality and being with you feels like you're floating or something. You make me laugh more than anyone I've ever met and your stories are the greatest thing I've ever heard along with your wit. But the crazy thing is you're not just some goofy Airbender. I can have deep conversations with you, ones about my parents and my childhood and stuff. You just make me comfortable and when you defended me that night we got arrested...see with Mako I feel safe and protected physically but that's all. Emotionally I'm vulnerable but that’s not the case with you. You protect me but you also care for me beyond the physical. You seemed to care more for my well-being than my own boyfriend. I have no idea how one person can be so complex but I know I want to find out more about you. I want you y/n" Asami said and you blinked in surprise.

You went to speak but hesitated and Asami nodded “i’m done you can talk now”. You laughed "well all I have to say is you...do? You like me?". Asami nodded "I've always been attracted to you and I ignored the way you make me feel but no more. I want you if you want me". You smiled “that’s not even a question, of course I want you". Asami smiled and leaned in closer but you paused "wait are you and Mako...if you're not broke up then we shouldn’t". Asami shook her head “we broke up the day of the battle, I realised I liked you and so I ended it”. You smiled “well in that case...” and kissed her. You were a bit cautious but Asami wrapped her arms around you pleasantly surprising you. You smiled and kissed her back, picking her up with your airbending and twirling her dramatically. Asami laughed as the wind rushed through her hair and stared at you. Her gaze was so intense it almost made you blush but only almost.

“So do you have any dinner plans tonight or...?" you asked once you’d separated. Asami smiled "No. Would you like to take me out y/n?". "I've wanted to do that since I first laid eyes on you but yes I would Asami Sato". Asami blushed but nodded "then it's a date".

The End

____________

I’ve totally forgiven Mako but I hated how he made Asami feel in the first two books. Asami and Korra are both such great women they didn’t deserve to be cheated on that’s why I wanted a character to come in and completely sweep Asami off her feet (hence why I created a cocky gay female airbender).

Also I don’t think Asami gets enough credit for how much she rolled with the punches in Book 1. She literally could’ve hated Korra so easily and been the typical girl who hates other girls but she didn’t and that says a LOT about her character. I’m so glad the writers didn’t make her a villan.

Legend of Korra S3 thoughts

I literally just finished it but god it was good.

Spoilers ahead for s3

I heard this was the best season and heard about some of the stuff that happened but it was still a really good time. I went in semi-blind. I knew about certain things but not everything so I think that made it better.

I feel like this season learned from the last 2. A lot of the problems I had with the first two seasons was the pacing. S1 and s2 had a lot of issues with not giving us time to get to know the world and the characters. And also with s2 pivoting to a whole new plot.

I think the fact the season builds itself off of the previous 2 seasons also makes it stronger. It feels like the jumbled pieces of s1 and s2 came together really nicely in this season.

The bulls up to zaheer and the red lotus was really good. All the elements came together and that scene where they have korra is so intense. Like I know korra is going to get out but you feel the weight and tension since they are able to balance it with the other elements of the story.

I like that it also ties into korras fears and anxieties while also tying it to her arc through the previous seasons is so good. The fact the the main antagonist appear in her hallucinations as manifestations of her anxiety about the world not needing her is good. It gives them more weight as they were able to build on the arc of korra finding her place as the avatar in a more complicated world with more advanced people and problems.

Also I think the fact that the read lotus’ plan was hinted at and how korra would end up by the end of the season through the paralytic dart is so good.

I think the ending is so crushing since we see korra struggle with her purpose as the avatar. We see her needing guidance and not being able to get it bcuz of her severed connection. We see how she’s matured but still has that action first think later mentality. And it all culminating in her feeling like she’s lost her place even more as ppl step up to in her mind take her place.

I’m also really glad we got to see the other kingdoms. We got to see how shitty the queen is and how shitty the president of republic city is. Bcuz that puts in your mind that maybe zaheer has a point in a way but the way he’s going about it will make the world a worse place.

I like how calm and patient zaheer is. The way he’s able to mobilize his team and move them into the places they need to be to move forward with his plan. Like the way he sits and talks contrasts with korra and the way he gets to far in his plsn as you see it play out is really good.

The only critique I have is that the other members of the red lotus don’t have much character really. I do like them and their bending styles are really cool. But I think as a whole they feel more like an extension of zaheer which works in a way. I guess with p’li who was supposed to be zaheer s lover and his only attachment. I didn’t really feel like that. They had a few scenes and that’s it’s. Not bad but kinda meh I guesss.

On the plus side we did get more with the main cast. I feel like I’m actually getting to know them as characters. I’m especially glad we got to see more asami. She was always sorta there but she feels more apart of the team and I’m glad we got more interaction with her and the other characters.

I’m glad that they were able to balance episodes focusing on the characters and actually building an arc for them and the main plot. They feel more like character with actual relationships rather than like kinda friendly coworkers. I think them stopping with the dumb love triangle helps especially since korra and mako and asami and mako had no chemistry lol.

Overall this season was really good. I feel like with this season they found their footing with the formatting of korra.

Excited for the next season even if it’s not as good.

Would rate s3 a 9/10

episodes five and six need to be talked about together, I think, because they're very much a two-parter.

so this contains...a lot. we've got "winter solstice", zuko's half of "the storm", "the blue spirit", and a very bizarre mish-mash of koh's part of "the siege of the north" with, of all things, the fog of lost souls from the legend of korra.

it's...we're getting major deviations from the animated version here. first and foremost, it's not the worst change in the world, but splitting the backstories from "the storm" and presenting them in entirely different contexts completely removes the parallels from aang and zuko in a way that...it doesn't butcher their arcs but I do still miss the original version. that episode was top tier and here it's just...average.

meanwhile roku has been completely butchered. there's no way around it. I want to say something positive but I really don't think I can. this is the "HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH" of avatar. bad choices all around here.

anyways, the plot is kind of...running away from itself, I think. the spirit world stuff was all recognizable, but they've made some changes that don't make a ton of sense. seeing wan shi tong was kinda cool, but also why? then koh shows up but he doesn't steal your face for making an expression anymore, he find them in the fog of lost souls and puts them in little cocoons to eat...whenever he feels like it? it's just a weird change, I guess. the entire purpose of this was to fridge katara and sokka to set up for "the blue spirit" which...sure, I guess they needed to raise the stakes a little higher than "my friends need frozen frogs" in this version.

of course katara and sokka both have visions in the spirit world while they're trapped in the fog of lost souls before koh captures them. katara's I know is her real memory because they show her mother's death and it's very close to the original version. sokka's...god I hope it's not a memory, but it probably is since katara's was. massive L for hakoda if so. not thrilled about that. at what point was hakoda ever disappointed in sokka? sokka always feared letting him down, but that wasn't because hakoda ever said anything so blatantly unkind- it's because the war left the weight of expectation on sokka's shoulders. his father left and he was the only "man" remaining. it had nothing to do with hakoda himself, just the impact of his absence.

it lacks subtlety. (also was the fox sokka saw yue? I feel like it was yue)

anyways this is ultimatley just the set up for aang needing to run to find roku at his temple, learn some shit that roku did to piss koh off and nothing at all about the comet (we knew that already tho), and then go try to correct it only to get captured by june who was hired by zuko and iroh but then actually no wait zhao comes takes him instead. this then lets "the blue spirit" play out as an almost one-to-one remake. which is fascinating because so little else has been preserved identically.

...arden cho was perfect as june btw. 10/10 casting.

interspersed with all this was zuko's backstory. and.......I knew they were gonna do this, I knew they were gonna have zuko fight back. there was too much indication in the trailers. and it just misses the damn point. the point is that he doesn't fight back, he refuses to fight his father out of loyalty and love, and ozai burns him for it. at the very least, ozai does still burn him intentionally, it is very clear that it was not an accident, and he still does it because zuko held back. but the impact is neutered a bit, the cruelty feels a little less. and there's no matching the mood of this shot:

(though azula doesn't smile evil-y in this version because she's just so EVIL so thank god for that)

focusing in on ozai does let daniel do some interesting things with his face in that scene, though. I know a lot of people are going to be upset that ozai isn't quite the same menacing, saturday-morning-cartoon villain he was in the original. but oh this guy is still a monster. "I burned and banished you because I love you" seems to be the vibe we're going for. I'm not against this at all, ozai's still a piece of shit, just a piece of shit who acts like a human being. the worst abusers justify their behavior as acts of love.

ummm what else. azula had a side plot in episode five and there is some fascinating stuff here. this adaptation is blowing up the golden child/scapegoat thing that the original had going on and honestly? kinda here for it. this azula is not secure in her position as ozai's favorite and she is gonna work her ass off to get that position if it fucking kills her.

...and we know how this ends for her. they're setting her up for her eventual fall. I think it's going to be much harder to watch this azula break. she looks so young, and they're showing her vulnerabilities so much sooner. the shots of her firebending late into the night while mai and ty lee sleep is so. sad??? and gyatso has a voiceover here that's just. someone please hug this child.

(also yeah aang gets to meet with gyatso in the spirit world and it is so so sad my heart T_T)

lots happened in these two episodes, some good, some bad, some just kinda strange. I also knew season one needed the most work when it came to adapting it into a serialized format but wow. they have really frankensteined this even more than I expected. it's...different. I still think it's worth watching though, but these two episodes didn't quite hit the highs of three and four.

heyyy it’s snailon,,,

brain juice isn’t really braining rn but I saw your super cool girl makorra post and just wanted to tell you I giggled to myself about that. fem mako I will always love you… you’re real in my heart… lesbians makorra you are famous to me… I’m literally going insane HA

🐌

hey snailon <3 ngl my week has been genuinely insane so sorry it took a long minute to respond! (i spent roughly 40 hours at percussion in the last seven days in addition to school :P to overshare: i got second place in a marimba solo comp and the highest score from my school!) okay moving on to your ask —

lesbian makorra is kind of my favorite tbh. ik people always justly mock That One Post but also there's something inherently sapphic about them that is absolutely unshakeable in my delusional affections for these two characters. this is the post that has permenantly ingrained itself into my brain and fundamentally changed how i will ever read mako because i like canon mako but i actually like fem mako even more. he just kinda deserves to be a girl yknow,,, oh and also the flavor of Trauma:tm:.

i also really like canon makorra (yes ik they fucked up and i do like korrasami, but i'm a firm believer that they always meant the world to each other no matter how it manifested. s4 makorra could've been so much,,) BUT lesbian makorra is actually kind of like. um. holy.

conceptually, 17 year old brash-unapologetic-wholeheartedly-passionate avatar korra seeing the world for the first time and falling fast in love with some insanely-tall deeply-repressed-stoic firebender girl with insurmountable trauma from fighting tooth and nail to keep herself and her little brother alive since the age of eight,,, that turns the wheels in my brain SO MUCH. mako's an asshole to her, the first person to really treat korra that way, because she doesn't care if she's the avatar or not — she's going to treat people based on how she perceives their own merit because titles have never meant anything on the streets. they argue because they're both self-righteous but they fight together so well like they've known each other for lives before. mako has never had time in her life or space in her heart for more than one other, yet still; slowly and slowly she falls for this bright-determined-brave-incredible girl who loves with all her heart. it's not something she's used to with how her own love has been weathered away by this blasted world, but maybe she could get used to this. ANYWAY makorra could just be so girl for girl.

(side note, mako as a girl is absolutely lesbian as hell but in canon i honestly really like aro mako loll. idk how to express it; they fundamentally should be the same two people, but also the energy is just so different in some inexplicable way. side note on shipping: i like korrasami but i like like makorra and i really like makorrasami because i'm one of those three people who actually likes masami too for just-trust-me-bro reasons haha)

#lychee acquires and answers asks #gonna tag this one in case anyone following me has it blocked #makorra

❤️📺Ten (ish) TV-shows I love❤️📺

Tagged by the lovely @renai-chan to do the 'Ten Movies I love' Tag Game.

I already did that, so allow me to redirect you to this post listing my ten movies, and this other one (a much much much much longer version, if you feel up to it).

However, after reflecting about which 10 movies I like the best –what a dilemma it was– I also thought about which 10 TV-shows are my comfort rewatches. I came up easily (surprisingly so) with the selection, so let me share that with you instead! 😊 ❤️

Xena: Warrior Princess

The most badass warrior I have ever seen on TV. What a sight is Lucy Lawless, I fell in love with those gorgeous blue eyes since the moment my child eyes saw them… This tv-show is everything to me. Xena & Gabrielle, the purest soulmates. There were also lots of amazing characters and actors (Karl Urban and Kevin Smith, among others). Produced in New Zealand too… Which is so awesome! <3 (Strong opening theme!)

Stargate SG1/Atlantis

MY FUCKING SCI-FY babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t even tell you why I love these two TV-shows, because I got so overwhelmed about it! I. JUST. LOVE. THEM. SO. MUCH! (I actually watched several Stargate Atlantis episodes just before typing this list.) If you like the genre, GO.WATCH.THESE! (Amazing opening themes as well! <3)

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (the 20-min-episode tv-show)

I’ve watched every rerun on TV since it has been broadcasted. It is tied to my childhood, so I’m rather attached to it! I prefer this version over the more recent one, which is a bit too dark compared to the comedic one. Salem is so funny! He’s I-C-O-N-I-C! :P

Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman/// House MD

My absolute two favourite tv-shows involving doctors… though they are very different from one another. Western drama vs. medical drama. It’s really not your typical medical show however.

A female physician from a 19th-wealthy family moving in the wild west to establish a practice. She feels very deeply and has a strong moral compass. The themes mentioned are quite serious (which I like) as you have, for instance, a close-minded-white-men little village, a woman working a man job, Cheyenne tribes being mistreated so are the black people and any other non-White people. Of course, it is still a tv-show, so I don’t how historically-accurate it is. But so not as sappy as Grey’s Anatomy if you know what I mean. 😊

AND the Sherlock doctor. Hugh Laurie is magnificent in this out-of-the-ordinary, junkie, snarky genius of a doctor!

Avatar: the Last Airbender

Do I really need to spell it? MASTER OF THE ELEMENTS. AIRBENDING. WATERBENDING. FIREBENDING. EARTHBENDING. THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!! The Legend of Korra is good too!

White Collar

The adventures of an FBI agent and his con artist/thief consultant. YUP. It is as cool as it sounds. All the characters are lovely as well!

Downton Abbey

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE BRITISH PERIOD DRAMA EVER. It is about the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants’ life during the earliest 20th century. The cast is realllllllllllllly good! A lot of good characters, strong episodes (very emotional sometimes)! Dame Maggie Smith is killing it as the Dowager Countess of Grantham, the sass in this character’s lines and faces!!!!! XD (Again, the opening theme is SO GOOD!)

Once Upon a Time

A very nice tv-show where fairytales characters are transported into the real world because of a curse. The cast is INSANE! :O Nice revisit of famously known fairytales!!!! I have a thing for the accents…Well, there are a lot of different accents to listen to!

Lucifer

It’s probably one of the last (new-ish) TV-show I’ve watched from the beginning to the end. The British (again with the accent) Devil’s adventures with the Detective (yeah… it’s her official name! XD). Very good chemistry between Tom Ellis and Lauren German! And the other characters are equally as good!!!!!!!!!

Prison Break

Season 1 was the best. Truly. The idea was so original when the tv-show came out! Wentworth Miller’s acting is pure *chef’s kiss*. (That’s why I love Captain Cold so much btw, especially because Dominic Purcell is also his Rogues buddy in The Flash). Also, I’ve never loved the crookiest of the crook characters so much than how I love T-Bag. He’s the worst, but OMG his lines and mimicking (Robert Knepper did a fine job!)

As I already did the tagging before, I won’t do it again, but I let this open. Anyone feeling like talking about their comfort TV-shows are more than welcomed to do this “other version” of the tag game! 😉

#tag game #tv-show tag game #xena warrior princess #stargate sg1 #stargate atlantis #sabrina the teenage witch #dr quinn medicine woman #dr house md #avatar the last airbender #white collar #downton abbey #once upon a time #lucifer #prison break
