Korra x Female Air Acolyte Series: Part One

Imagine being an air acolyte and a budding romance forming between you and Avatar Korra

Part Two, Part Three, Part Four and Part Five.

You were an air acolyte that lived on air temple island. You’d originally lived at the Southern Air Temple with your sister who was also an air acolyte. That was how you met Pema. She quickly became close friends with your sister and was always a kind motherly figure to you. Pema left when she married Tenzin but when she heard your sister, your only remaining family member, passed she invited you to live with her at her home. You were only 12 at the time and although you were a fully qualified acolyte neither Tenzin nor Pena made you stick too strictly to your duties. They took you in and gave you a home and a purpose. You were happy and cared for. The Airbender kids were like younger cousins and although you weren’t one of their children you felt safe with Pema and Tenzin.

As you got older you began taking a more active acolyte role and Tenzin began mentoring you. At the age of 17 you’d been in the field a while and were very experienced. Tenzin viewed that as enough experience to travel with his family to meet the avatar and you were so excited.

Oogie began to descend and you peered over the side excited to get your first view at the Avatar’s compound. You recognised Tenzin’s mother immediately and watched amused as her grandchildren interacted with her. Your eyes however went to the girl behind her, the Avatar.

She didn’t look as you expected her to, she looked...normal. You’d been expecting a towering powerful giant but this girl just looked like a friendly normal teenager. She waved slightly and you smiled back at her. Tenzin finally caught sight of her and rushed to greet her. He introduced you and Korra grinned "this is so great! Are you going to be joining us for our lessons? I can’t wait to have someone my age joining me". You frowned and looked at Tenzin. Pema sighed "you'll have to tell her eventually" she sighed. Korra looked crestfallen as Tenzin told her the news, he wasn’t here to train her. Over dinner Korra tried convincing him to change his mind but Tenzin held to his reasons. You tried to help, offering suggestions but nothing would budge Tenzin and Korra stormed away angrily. You watched her walk away and frowned. You understood she was disappointed and wished there was some way you could comfort her. You were sat next to Katara who knocked her cup off the table “ow how clumsy of me!” she cried and you smiled “let me help you”. You reached down to grab her mug and she leant in “Korra always goes to the kennels when she’s upset, they’re outside the main door and to the left”. You stared at her confused and Tenzin’s mother just smiled at you. You excused yourself and followed Katara’s instructions.

You found the kennels but no Korra. However there were some footprints so you followed them into the snowy grounds. You were sure you were lost when you heard a noise. You turned to see a polar bear dog barreling towards you. You gasped and fell backwards as you tried to run. The polar bear dog roared loudly and you closed your eyes before someone intervened. "Naga stop!" someone called and the Avatar appeared. "Bad girl y/n is a friend". The avatar then turned to you "sorry about that, Naga hasn't met you yet and she knows everyone in the compound so she assumed you were trying to hurt her". Korra offered you a hand up and you took it. The girl pulled you effortlessly to your feet surprising you and bringing your faces close together. “Are you okay?” she asked her blue eyes practically dazzling you. “I’m fine...are you?” you asked “I know Tenzin’s revelation couldn’t have been good to hear”. Korra sighed “it’s fine, I mean there are worse things to happen I’m just sick of waiting around for my life to start! I’m kept here like an outcast and whenever I ask about leaving they just tell me I have to wait until I’m a fully training avatar...”. “Hence why you’re so eager to master airbending” you commented and Korra nodded “exactly! Now that’s been pushed back indefinitely so i’m stuck” she said sitting down angrily in the snow. You watched her wondering how you could help her when an idea came to you. “What if I showed you a few things?”. Korra hesitated “what?”. “I know i’m no Airbender but a lot of airbending forms are practised by acolytes too for their health benefits, not to mention we’re around them 24/7, what if I showed you the basics?”. Korra’s face lit up “that’d be amazing! Thanks y/n”. You blushed under her intense gratitude and shrugged “no problem, now let’s get started!”.

You and Korra trained in the snow for a while before Katara found you and told you it was time to leave. Korra was upset but you thought your training had helped a little. She promised to practice the forms you’d shown her every day and you promised to ask Tenzin every day when she could come to Republic City. Your deal was made and you left the Water Tribe with a very strong positive first impression of the Avatar.

When you returned to Republic City you got back on with your normal life. You kept your end of the deal and bugged Tenzin but to no avail. However you were soon going to learn the Avatar waits for no one.

You were on your way to City hall on an errand for Tenzin when you heard blaring police sirens. You turned to see cars all heading down the same street chasing after what seemed to be...a polar bear dog. You squinted at the figure on the bear’s back but couldn’t see them clearly enough. You joined in the crowd rushing to follow the chase and spotted an officer. "What’s going on? Who is that?" you asked. The man recognised you due to your air nomad uniform and shrugged "no idea, some girl from the water tribe. She resisted arrest after attacking some gang members. Apparently the damage was pretty bad, though I don’t get how one girl could do all that. It looked like a few benders at least". Realisation set in and you shook your head "or the avatar".

You knew Korra wouldn’t be able to outrun the entire police so you just hurried to the police station and demanded to see the avatar. You were taken into the most secure room and the door opened. Korra sat there chained to a table. Her eyes lit up when she saw you and you smiled...before you saw who she was talking to. All the way here you’d prayed it wasn’t Beifong but of course it was. "Chief, Avatar Korra" you nodded to them both "I came as soon as I heard". Lin tutted at you "why did you come?". You paused "to help of course. I'm sure whatever happened we can work out an agreement". Lin turned to you "an agreement? The girl’s a menace. She destroyed countless properties and goods with her vigilantly attitude". "But I'm the avatar! I have to help people" Korra cried. "That title might impress others but not me" Lin glared at Korra and you sighed. "Cheif Beifong please try to..." you started when Korra gasped "wait Beifong? ...you're Toph’s daughter!". Lin sighed "I don’t see why that's relevant?". "Well your mother was friends with Avatar Aang! My past life! She helped him". "Still not relevant" Lin shrugged and you rested a hand on Korra’s chair. "What the Avatar means is your mother understood the value of the Avatar and their role. While Korra’s actions were disruptive she did save those people and she was doing what she considered her duty. How is that any different from the harm your officers caused barreling down the street trying to catch her? I saw atleast 3 overturned Sato mobiles, was that a menace or just officers doing their duty?". "Yes exactly!" Korra cried. You wanted to smile but had to remain serious. Lin sighed "I appreciate what you're trying to do but it won’t work kid. Ordinary people have no ranks to take the law into their own hands, that's the polices duty Avatar or not. So I’m sorry but..." when the door opened. "Y/n?" Tenzin asked and Lin groaned "there’s more of you?". Tenzin managed to arrange Korra’s release and she was set free. You walked with her out of the cell and couldn’t help but laugh as she shot Lin an *I'm watching you* sign. Tenzin however wasn’t in as good a mood. He scolded Korra for travelling here and used this as proof she wasn’t ready. You tried speaking up for her but Tenzin snapped at you and Korra gave you a signal to stop.

It was decided Korra would go straight home and Tenzin led you both there in silence. So you waited at the docks for Korra to be sent away. You weren’t happy about it and made this known by refusing to look at Tenzin. You watched as Korra said goodbye to the Airbender kids and Tenzin sighed. "I know you don’t think it's right but this city is far too busy for her, she needs a more stable environment". You shook your head "does she? She's been locked up in that compound for years. How is she going to learn how to help the world if she’s never experienced it? Locking her away isn’t going to help her but being here in a living breathing city...she’s already learnt to be more careful and respectful to the law and that’s in one day! Imagine what else she could learn". Tenzin was silent and when you looked at him you saw he was thinking. Finally he stepped forward. As Korra went to say goodbye he announced she could stay. "But how...why?" Korra asked and Tenzin glanced at you "let's just say I had some good advice". Korra beamed and rushed to hug you "thank you y/n!". You smiled blushing slightly at the attention "I just said some words that’s all!". "Well I'll always be grateful to you" Korra smiled squeezing your hand and you smiled squeezing back.

Tenzin brought Korra to Air Temple Island and you showed her around. You got her all settled in a new room and brought her all the things she’d need. "We can get anything else in the city" you told her "for now just make do and try to rest. Your training will begin very soon". Korra cheered "yes! I'm so excited! I've been waiting years for this and finally it’s happened". You smiled at how endearing she was and nodded. "Well you've earned it! Get some rest, I'm right across the hall if you need anything". You went back to your own room and prepared for bed. You’d just gotten into the blankets when there was a knock and Korra appeared. "Hey y/n I can’t sleep...". You smiled. She must've literally tried for a minute before giving up. "Well would you like to stay here and talk for a bit?" You asked "perhaps you're a bit excited?". "Yeah that sounds good" Korra agreed, wriggling into the blankets so she was beside you. You kept the lights low to try and make her sleepy and just talked. Korra told you all about her life and you told her about yours. You eventually felt sleepier and sleepier until you could hardly keep your eyes open. You went to tell Korra you were too tired to continue when you realised she was sound asleep. You smiled and covered her up more with the blankets before going to sleep yourself.

Now the Avatar was in Republic City something told you things would be very different...

_____

Season one Korra has a special place in my heart. I loved when she was so cocky and hot headed 🥰🥰

Legend of Korra S1 thoughts

So I literally just finished s1 of lok and wanted to like jot down my thoughts lol. This is just my current thoughts on s1 and idk how to feel about the entire series

Long post sorry

Spoilers for season 1

So I like it so far. I think it’s pretty interesting. Not the best season but I like it so far. I wish I went into it blind bcuz it might have been a little better but whatever.

The biggest critique I have of this season is the pacing or moreso how face paced it is. I feel like in alta we had episodes to get to know the characters and their relationships and the world while also building towards the plot. I know this series has less episodes per season than alta which is probably why the pacing feels off honestly.

I feel like I don’t really know much about republic city or any of the characters really. Like the characters have personality but I don’t really know their relationship with each other or any of their motivations or drives really. Things about them kinda get throw at you.

Like it doesn’t feel like any of them know each other since we don’t get a lot of time to see them interacting together outside of small moments. They don’t really feel like a team.

Also the romance is somehow worse than alta. Like the romance in alta was kinda meh not terrible but not for me, but here it feels sorta contrived. Like no one really has chemistry at all. A lot of the romance scenes between them feel sorta forced. Like it didn’t happen naturally. Also Mako is a little bit of a whore lol. Like he kinda sucks lol.

My conspiracy is that the writers knew ppl wanted zutara so they gave ppl korra x mako to make up for it. But that’s just a theory, a game theory.

I do like korra tho. I like how she is the opposite of aang and is trying to find out about the world and how to be the avatar. I like how she over compensates trying to be the avatar. I like that she does things with force and needs to learn to strategize.

I kinda wish her air bending had a better build up bcuz it sorta just happens. And a lot of her insecurities are just kinda sprung on you too. Also I kinda wish her losing her bending had more room to sit with you. I think it would give it more weight.

I also liked amon as an antagonist. I do think the equalists were interesting especially since exploring what it’s like to be a non bender in a more advanced bending world and how that disadvantages you is interesting. I do wish it had more room to build. Like I wish we could see how the equalist movement built over time. How non benders are disadvantaged. What it is actually like to be a non bender in their worlds society rather than hear ppl just talk about it. I think seeing korra actually see what it’s like would flesh her out more too.

Non benders in avatar are really cool. The way they developed their own fighting styles to go toe to toe to benders is really cool especially in a more technologically advanced setting.

The amon and counselor tarlock twist was alright. It kinda came out of nowhere. I kinda wish amon was just a non bender bcuz that would have been way more interesting and make him more intimidating. I also thought tarlock and amon were working together to systematically take power which would have been interesting to see but that wasn’t the case.

The ending scene with amon and tarlock was cool but kinda idk. Unsatisfying sorta? Like I don’t feel like we got enough time to really get a feel for their relationship. We kinda just hear about it then just see them interact in that final scene. I also feel like we don’t really get a real sense of amon’s goals too. Like just vaguely hear that it’s connected to Yakone. I think it would have been more interesting if he genuinely was an equalist.

I just wish we had an episodes to flesh out republic city and this new unfamiliar place. I wish we had episodes just focusing on the characters and their relationship with one another. Just an episode to breath and feel like we’re learning rather than having stuff be brought up. Just some episodes to breath and feel and learn about everything.

Overall, had a good time. Needs work. Would give it 6/10

My sister said that we could watch rottmnt together after we finished Korra. When we started watching rottmnt and we got to the Warren stone ep my sister was like ‘huh he sounds really familiar’ and I was like ‘oh yeah he does’ until I realized,,, bro. Varrick and Warren Stone share the same voice actor 😭😭😭 how did I never realize it until my sister pointed it out???

#legend of korra #varrick #rottmnt #warren stone #i’ve been watching lok for like 2 years #and i’ve rewatched season 1 rottmnt more times than I can count #HOW did I never make the connection #It’s so obvious now #same voice actor

i love how often mako and bolin communicate during fights with just a glance

#lok #they're brothers!#when they took out that cop in season 1 #when they were fighting unalaq in season 2 and mako just glanced back at bolin and the next instant bolin was making an earth pillar #nder his feet to push him forward #when bolin woke up being dragged by eska and desna and just silently glanced at mako waiting for him to wake up too #and when mako did the first thing he did was look at bolin and then they were movinb #so good

it never ceases to amaze me how completely random the selection of characters my brain decides to be autistic about is.

Out of all the characters in Legend of Korra (some of whom I was quite prepared to obsess over) all my thoughts are currently related to this motherfucker??

#HOW does that make sense #I’ve even watched some of season 1 before!!!#but this time my brain went #tenzin #him #I want him #HE JUST MEANS SO MUCH TO ME I CAN’T EXPLAIN IT #HE IS JUST SO ANDHALXHKSBFKWBF #it’s the parental issues isn’t it #sigh #legend of korra #lok #tenzin lok

Gale poorly explains legend of Korra

(I would normally have done this by season, so for the sake of sanity. Here is season 1)

Gale poorly explains: Legend of Korra (season 1)

-“Aang is gone and we need to find the new avatar”

-Tiny Korra bursts in

Korra: “Sup bitches! I’m the avatar”

-“Sure is kyoshi up in here”

———————————————————————-

(15 years later)

(Korra shows up in republic city)

Korra: Time to act like a female protagonist in the 2010s

(Proceeds to get arrested)

Lin: I’m a straight lace cop that is completely the opposite of my mother toph who has a metal pole up her ass.

Tenzin: I’m Aang’s son and I have to reign Korra in this season and will fail miserably.

Korra: I’m gonna slay at air bending

(Proceeds to get messed up)

Tenzin: Korra meet my family.

Pema: Hi, I’m the woman that is single handedly restoring the Air nomads until season 3. I also stole Tenzin from Lin

Jinora: Hi I’m Jinora, the only character that people like in all four seasons of the show and considered the best addition to the cast.

Ikki: I’m the annoying middle child that will piss off EVERYONE for stopping them from hearing about Zuko’s mom.

Meelo: I make fart jokes. I am one of the comic reliefs.

Korra: Well this is a thing… I’m gonna go pro bend

___________________________________

Bolin: Hey I’m the actual comic relief, and the second best character in the show. I will be trying to date you until you end up kissing my brother… in which case I will get over it after an episode

Mako: hey, im the tsundere dude that looks so generic that people wonder why im a main character. But apparently that’s sexy.

Korra: it is. I can’t wait to kiss you and cause more drama. But first a sport that makes very little sense and is really nerfed for the earth bending team.

(Winning at pro bending!)

Amon: I am part of the Equalist movement. A movement which actually makes little sense in retrospect because there are no rules descriminating against normal people, if anything it’s more like benders have it rough considering the amount of bending criminals.

Korra: He’s stealing bending! He must be stopped!

_____________________________________

Asami: Hey, I’m the hot non-bending rich girl that is a genuinely good person and I have way more chemistry with Korra than Mako, but for this season and next will be a Mako simp.

Mako: Cool

Korra: I hate her… but also am attracted to her.

Bolin: I’m just here to have fun

Hiroshi: I’m Asami’s father and totally cool with my daughter dating a filthy fire bender

_____________________________________

Tarrlok: I’m the sketchy mayor that is actually really creepy and trying to get you on bored to fight Amon.

Korra: I’m down.

(Joins the force and gets traumatized)

Korra: Yea… he is horrifying.

Lin: I’m quitting the force. Now for some character development.

_____________________________________

Bolin: Back to Probending

Tenzin: I was originally against this but now I’m a fan of this game.

(Their opponents cheat and win)

Tenzin: Is that ref Blind!? Wtf!

Korra: They cheated!

(Amon arrives and delivers karma by stealing the bending of the opponents)

Korra: okay that’s a bit Effed up.

____________________________________

Tarrlok: Now I’m gonna enforce some laws that will give the Equalists reasons to actually rebel

(Arrests Korea’s friends)

Korra: Could you not arrest my friends!

Tarrlok: No, now bend the knee

Korra: No, cause I realize you are a creepy f***er. And I will never let an obviously evil water bender trick me into helping ever again… (stay tuned for season two)

Tarrlok: Kidnapping it is!

(Reveals bloodbending)

Korra: OP please nerf

_____________________________________

(Korra learns about the blood bending past from Aang)

Aang: Long story short. Cameos and Yakone was a dick to everyone.

Korra: Dang.

(Everyone learns Tarrlok lied)

Tarrlok: Well it doesn’t matter, no one can beat me with my blood bending

Amon: I heard that you were talking s*** and you didn’t think that I would hear it.

(Steals Tarrlok’s bending)

Korra: I’m outtie (flees)

_________________________________

Amon: Time to take this city!

(Takes city)

Iroh: I’m a reference to Iroh and have Zuko’s voice. I’m immediately the best character this season. Unfortunately I’m useless right now

Korra: So we have to stop Amon. Oh look it’s the jerk mayor.

Tarrlok: Amon is actually my brother. He’s a blood bender.

Korra: Gasp! Oh wait I knew that

_____________________________________

Asami: Sorry dad, I’m not joining your equalists. Your group claims it’s fighting against controlling regimes only to become one as soon as you get power. It’s very hypocritical.

Hiroshi: Hey! Our protests were mostly peaceful. Now let us use our weapons to kill your friends.

_____________________________________

Amon: Ready for me to steal your bending

(Cue fight scene)

Amon: I stole your bending

Korra: not my air bending.

(Blasts him out the window causing him to expose himself as a bender)

Equalists: Gasps! Our leader is a bender. We’ve been lied to. This somehow ruins our movement.

Amon: (revealed to be Noatak) I must flee now.

____________________________________

Korra: Well I am only an airbender now.

Aang: but what if you weren’t. (Restores bending)
