Yeah, it's somewhat overwrought, but Borra is Borra, even if it's super-sad Borra.

>>104234
>"You're also the guy I want, which means I will drag you out of here if I have to."

Quoted for truth.

>>104203
As if Korra couldn't carry Bolin with one hand.

This rant articulated a lot of the problem's Korra's shipping has had, imo, and how it has stunted character development.

Holy hell, this sums up exactly what has bothered me about that episode/the shipping so far.

>>104312

And a nice rebuttal to that http://zephyr16.tumblr.com/post/24938935953/beware-of-fangirls-disclaimer-last-weeks-episode-was

There's a ton of jumping to conclusions going on. Just go with the flow and let the story play out before damning the writing. On top of all that just remember the main cast are all dumb hormonal teenagers.

>>104322
I don't get how people think Mako's getting a free pass for his actions towards Korra this last episode, because the way Asami was reacting seemed pretty condemnatory and close to calling him out to me.

>>104322
I don't get how people think Mako's getting a free pass for his actions towards Korra this last episode, because the way Asami was reacting seemed pretty condemnatory and close to calling him out to me.

>>104324
And if she calls him out on it, then obviously there have been consequences. However, with the way Makorra seems to be getting set up, it seems like the fallout at the end would be minimal for Mako and Korra. Asami calls Mako out on liking Korra, he admits to it, and the breakup leads to Mako getting together with Korra. Mako and Korra get their endgame pairing, end up happy happy lovey-dovey, and Asami just sorta fades into the background to be forgotten. If Makorra happening and Masami ending is handled poorly, he could end up getting a free pass for breaking her heart, while she falls into irrelevance.

I'll be honest, my Borra bias probably plays a non-trivial role in determining how I feel about the Makorra elements of the last episode, so you should obviously take what I say with a grain of salt. And I really think that at the end of the day, we'll all be satisfied with how the season ends. It's just that some elements of the plot look like they could lead to less-than-satisfying conclusions.

>with all out war looming, Tenzin decides the situation is dire enough to skip Air for the moment and teach Korra control of the Avatar State

>opening chakras and shit, they come to the part about letting go of worldly attachment

>Korra has to choose between ultimate power and Mako

>she thinks about it for less than five seconds

>>104327
and chooses Mako?

>>104326
No no, I'm with you here and I try to keep my head out of the shipping issue altogether.
But I too don't see how this love triangle can be salvaged in a satisfying manner.

I just don't see Asami and Korra fighting over the prize. It doesn't suit the characters to engage in a senseless catfight.

But Mako can't just choose one of them either, can he? He's not the protagonist. The hero wins the love-interest, not the other way around. And Korra gave up on that. Also:
>Hey, I'm free now. Let's hook up immediately!
>Yay, I have no self-respect whatsoever!

If he stays with Asami however, what was all the ship teasing for? It makes Mako look bad and it makes Korra look weak for accepting him leading her on.

Maybe the whole relationship thingamajob could have worked if it was spread out over more or longer episodes. So that the characters have a chance to develop instead of changing their minds every 5 seconds.

And finally, Mako could have done with some better characterization. He's incredulous as the "prize". Apart from having good looks, he's done nothing much to prove himself as a desirable partner. He's a trophy husband. And that makes the entire issue look so damn shallow.

...

Who said we had to have an endgame ship?

Wouldn't be totally possible that Asami and Mako DO break up and Korra and Mako dont instantly get together? At this rate I'm pretty sure they will in the ENDendgame but as for this season I could definitely see things breaking down into that awkward state of non-relationship.

Really I'm just hoping the most that when all of this is through Asami doesnt have hard feelings towards Korra. Because PLEASE can we not do that thing...

>>104333
That's probably the best course of action. If there's any at all.
They'ed need another season at least to sell me on Mako and Korra as a couple.

And still I can't shake the feeling, that leaving Asami at such a difficult juncture in her life, would also be douchebaggery.
She's going to be the one doing the break-up. Calling it now.

And there you go. LoK isn't good with that star-crossed lovers/passionate romance thing.

One relationship will uneventfully sputter out so that another one can lazily drag itself in. That's not even teen drama. That's just stuff happening.

>>104322
That is one terrible rebuttal with some terrible relationship advice and terrible fanfiction ideas.

The original rant posted here >>104312
had some really nice analysis, though. It's not about shipping; it's about making the character development feel organic and writing the characters in a way that makes sense.

>>104312
>Why didn’t Mako visibly, openly realize that he was being a cheating jackass
... what
Liked the rest of the rant though, mostly because it aknowledges the strenght of other LOK relationships instead of going off retarded tangents like "why Korra's bending sucks where's the Avatar state herp derp".

>"why Korra's bending sucks where's the Avatar state herp derp".
Those are legitimate questions which, if not answered by her doing airbending and the avatar state during the finale will go unanswered and have made this entire 12 episode run a complete and total waste of time for everyone involved.

>>104343
Go back to /co/, seriously.

On the whole shipping tease stuff can I just point something out?

Aang falls for katara the first girl he meets constantly snubbed off/ignored/friend zoned till the finale. Korra falls for mako ok not the first but first guy she showed interest in. did no one see the whole formula recycle coming besides me? you all act so surprised when it was pretty obvious from the start. hell all my other predictions failed (I was so sure yakone had something to do with amon) but this one was way to obvious even in introducing Asami they kept flashing mako's hiddin/secret? feelings for korra at you.

It's sad but Bolin really is just a beetch to get fucked now.

I guess he makes some people lol as well.

>>104352
Well obviously.

Bolin has two modes:
>be your bitch
>make you L.O.L
Bei Fong will make full use of him.

Why is Amon so sweaty and shaky? Has he never gotten a blow job before? I bet he's a virgin.

>>104452
I ship it. There has to be a reason for Amon to keep that guy around.

>>104460
He has his eyes closed to think of Bolin

>>104452
This would be better in /coq/.

I bet the mustache tickles Amon's balls.

A-Amon-chan...

Let's start placing bets right now, if Korra goes into the Avatar State, who do you think would bring her out of it? The obvious favorite is Mako, but I feel like Bolin isn't terribly far behind for that one. (Although then again, I like the idea of it being Lin, showing she's come to care about the new avatar after all this time.)

>>104493
I want it to be Tenzin or Bolin.

>>104493
Should: Tenzin, Bolin, Lin
Probably will: Mako

>>104494
I'd LOVE for it to be Bolin, and I think he's the better choice of the brothers even if it's just played off as friends. It could have some really adorable callbacks to the scene where they met. Tenzin's another option, and I think he could work really well for that scene, too.

Or maybe she'll get to talk with Aang like he did with Roku in episode 2x01 and she'll manage to get out of the AS by herself.

>>104470

>>104494
It won't be; where do you think we are?
Mako will step in, elbowing aside Tenzin and an elderly woman bystander to get to Korra. He'll pull her out, say he loves her, and kiss her passionately as Asami stands there watching all this. Insert awkward Bolin-hitting-on-a-single-Asami line which she ignored with a chuckle and credits roll.

The Legend of Korra.

>>104493
>>if Korra goes into the Avatar State, who do you think would bring her out of it?

It'll be Sparkly Sparkly Bush Man, as repayment for that tasty fried fishy.

>>104493
Naga.
It would be all cute and shit.

>>104526
It's actually a possibility. She's still Korra's best friend, after all.

>>104534
Yeah, but imagine the shippers rage.
Especially if other characters try and fail to pull her out of the Avatar State before Naga pads up to her and licks her face and Korra just peaces the fuck out.

>>104555
I don't care about shippers. Shipper go to hell. Pandering to them is the fucking stupidest thing this series has done. I don't care if they lead to ratings; making this into Twilight by design instead of by idiotic fan interpretation was the worst decision they've ever made; worse than pro-bending. Worse than Aang being allowed to never have to make a moral decision once in his entire life.

>>104557
>>104555
And then Naga puts on her cool face as Mako cries into his velvet pillow. And Bolin doesn't care about anything anymore.

http://neomeruru.deviantart.com/art/on-guard-against-wickedness-at-all-times-307383109

>>104569
Jesus Christ that picture. There's something about it that just rubs the wrong way. Really bad.

Tenzin isn't the cheating type.

>>104580

The inherent Zutaraness?

According to the artist it's meant to be younger versions when Tenzin and Lin were together, about him slipping out of her grasp.

For whatever reason a lot of people ignore what Tenzin said about how he and Lin were already falling apart by the time Pema said anything and just assume that Pema swooped in and destroyed a perfect loving relationship.

>>104585
Well this picture doesn't show that too much. It hardly looks like a mutual breakup when he's quite literally going behind her back and kissing someone else. In fact Lin doesn't even seem aware.

This didn't take long.

(Don't know the source on this one. Reverse image search comes up with nada, and some dick is spamming tumblr with keyword flooded posts about "clicking here" if you're upset about Lin losing her bending.)

>>104861
Yeah, that's been annoying. Even if you block them, the tag search is still broken and no longer scrolls down as far.

>>104867

check. your move

>>104887
Could be gay!

Okay fine that's not very likely.

>>104894
Why not? Maybe things like black people and a regular non-hybrid animal don't exist in the Avatar world, but I'd have to believe there's one or two gay people somewhere out there. Just look at Amon and the Lieutenant.

>>104896
>regular non-hybrid animal don't exist
Ahem. Bear.

>>104897
.. That damn bear always gets past me. Truly a freakish animal.

i'm gonna start shipping Lin and Thano for awhile now because they are both without bending mojo. you can just imagine them meeting at an "Amon Victim Support Group". she's all defensive and wont admit she's hurt and doesn't want anyone's pity. he's a former dick with a new found heart of gold. they'll support each other through their ordeal. i know there is an age difference, but that just makes it kinkier

then one night in bed Lin will suggest that they don't have to be victims and they can still make a difference. they can be an inspiration to others. they'll just need a symbol

Lin: "hey, what was your old pro bending team called again?'
Thano: "the Wolfbats . . ."

thus begins THE LEGENDS OF THE WOLFBAT!

>>105040
How old is tahno anyway?

>>105040
See: Pegging.

>>105043
Probably in his early 20s

because jealousy is attractive or something

>>105122
Oh man, we do NOT need Mako to become the new Asami. It's already bad enough that they've treated Asami like that, I don't think I could handle the whiplash from Mako (whose character I like overall) written a as douchebender to being the jilted lover like that.

>>105122
Oh wow, from the thumbnail I thought it was that one really Gary Stu guy in Glee who came from the private school. Can't unsee.

>>104897
Also the cat Miyuki. She's just a cat. I always thought that was noteworthy.

>>105123
The first thing I want this Iroh man to do in the next episode as soon as he meets Korra is shake her hand and immediately proceed to turn around, grab the nearest sailor, kiss him passionately and have copious amounts of flesh-slapping wet pounding man butthole loving right in front of all of them. All of them.

And I want all these premature shippers to weep crimson.

>>105136
Don't rule out my favourite possibility!

http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/legend-of-korra-111-dinner-in-hiding-clip.html

Oh hey, new clip! Asami's being jealous, that's kinda worrying, but it's a tense situation. Still not sure I like how Makorra's being handled, but I'm hopeful nothing too shitty will happen before the season ends.

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1834852889/

...oh goddammit.

Mako's such a douchebag, Asami needs to kick his ass to the curb, mm-hmm

Amon knows what he likes

>>105147
"U-Uuguuu, shogun-sama!~ Do not look at me with such lascivious eyes."

>>105218
Poor Amon. He just wants a man who doesn't run away or cower in fear. The Lieutenant is there.. but he uses too much teeth and very little deodorant.
He's just trying to make Bolin jealous enough to come back.

>ENDS UP GETTING ONE BACK

...what. The FUCK.

>>106055
>My god, the elements of Makorra in this one were such HORSESHIT, my GOD

I was actually groaning out loud and facepalmed once or twice. It was just too painful to watch.

I suppose the whole "I care about you" talk was a break-up? But I didn't realise that when first watching the episode, and I feel like things were just left hanging when it comes to Asami. Like there was no feeling of some kind of closure.

The 'romance' in this series is just so awful.

also Asami and Bolin need some love from the writers in all areas.

>>106091
Dudes, I swear to god, if the writers try to pair up the spares here AND do it in an equally terrible fashion as Makorra, I'm gonna have a hate-stroke.

>>106092
That would indeed be terrible, I don't even have the words to describe how awful a move that would be.

If they're going to pair Bolin up with anyone they should let him demonstrate his quickly tossed-aside ladiesman charm and get himself a new girl introduced later.

>>106094
Gotta love how they kept downgrading him.

>>106095
What the hell man... this is fucked up, did they really think neutering him was a positive direction to take the character? He's like a less funny, less pimpin sokka who can earthbend.
Mako gets more focus but that just serves to make him rather unlikeable to a large swathe of the fanbase..

>>105685
It's cute but personally speaking I find that particular posing in general to be really hot.

>>106097
Sokka was a sarcastic, playful guy that talked common sense and had a good repertoire with everybody else going. He was never a pimp though. (Fuck you, fandumb.)

Bolin's a dumb guy, who launches into pseudo-nervous jibba jabba that goes nowhere. And everyone else just seems to ignore him whenever they can.
It's kinda disheartening when even the other characters know, how little he matters.

>>106095

Don't fucking remind me.

I loved when he was first described, then the show propper started and that guy was nowhere to be seen, and then all his descriptions were changed to much.

SO. MUCH. RAGE.

>>106095

That picture is a testament to how bad they handled the characters.

>>106106
Hardly. It's just stuff written by people who didn't watch the show after the first two episodes.

>>106107
What are you even saying?

>>106110
Those descriptions are just written by some bored nick employee.

>>106111
And the fact they are more accurate to Bolin as seen through the series? How does that equal having only seen the 2-part pilot? If anything he still had a bit of charisma and fangirls calling his name, its only as time wore on he became particularly Beta.

>>106103
Sokka had a fair bit of swag over the series, with his two girlfriends and also having Toph crushing on him and Ty Lee hitting on him a couple of times. 'Pimp' might be a playful way to put it but nothing to get annoyed about.

>>106113
Sokka had a lot of things. Swagger was not one of them.
He usually got the girl despite his mouth, not because of it.
It was more or less that the women that desired him could look past his flawed exterior and see the values within.
With Bolin what you see, is what you get. He's about as deep as a puddle. These descriptions put more thought into the character, than the show ever let on.

>>106104
Bolin: So, Korra and I go on a date. How cute is it?
Writers: Oh, so cute. The cutest.
Bolin: So we get together, right?
Writers: Uh, no.
Bolin: Oh. Wow. That...that really sucks. So...I get a bunch of awesome girls instead, right?
Writers: Uh...no, we had to cut that too. Makorra moments cost money, y'know.
Bolin: Oh, yeah, I guess. Well...do I get ANY girl?
Writers: Let me check...huh. Doesn't look like it?
Bolin: Man, this isn't going to well. At least I have a lot of good scenes, right?
Writers: ...
Bolin: ...witty dialogue?
Writers: I...we would...but...budget cuts and...
Bolin: I see. Don't worry, it's alright, I'll be fine.

>mfw

>>106124
Bolin: So? What do I get?
Writers: A couple of lines per episode.
Bolin: A visual gag or two?
Writers: No, we have to make room for the farting kid. Have you seen him go? He's hilarious.
Bolin: ...I see. I'm just gonna go then. It's probably for the best.
Writers: Hm? Oh yeah, yeah. Can you send Asami in after you?

>>106127
Asami: so basically my father's an asshole, my boyfriend's an asshole, and all my other family is dead. What's the upside?
Writers: uh...you get a really cool power glove!
Asami: Oh. Any significant one on one duels I'll be having then?
Writers: well...you fight your dad.
Asami: Do I win?
writers: basically Bolin saves your ass.
Asami: Oh come on, do I at least get the hunky fire bender general after Mako ditches me?
writers: nope. NEXT.

>>106127
>>106134
The only writers were Bryke so you can call them that instead.

>>106144
Nope, we're back on last name basis now.
It's Mr. DiMartino and Mr. Konietzko.
And it stays that way until Season 2 is consistently good.

>>106124

>Bolin: I see. Don't worry, it's alright, I'll be fine.

I can see Bolin reacting that way.

That just makes me feel worse.

>>106401

Bolin's face in the last panel kills me.

>>106401
Is it me or has Penny Arcade's art been getting worse and worse for a while now.

>>106496
Kinda. It's not so much that it's been getting worse per se and more than it's been getting more and more stylized and more and more influenced by John K/Spumco, and for me (and, it seems, you) that look's just not pleasing to the eyes.

But it's not like the art takes any less skill to make. It's just not as fun to look at. But Gabe's heard the complaints, and said he has no plans to go back to the old style.

The romance stuff pulled the entire show down. And since Mako's sole point seemed to be the Bioware Romance thing, by extension he pulled the show down. But any other character would have done the same, in his shoes.
I'd really rather everyone had been asexual, than put up with this dribble...

I can second this.

After the fourth episode, Makorra lost steam.

After the fifth episode, I could no longer give two fucks about it.

Makorra wasn't the single thing I disliked about or was flawed in this series, but it was certainly a pretty noticable factor.

>>106780
Korrasami dominates.

>>106780
As things currently stand, Asami is the only character who could give Korra the complex and adult relationship she needs.

Well I mean, Lin could also, but Asami's closer to Korra's own age.

>>106780
1. I love Asami's pants.
2. The return of Azula's elf shoes!

>>106780
Korra needs a Rickenbacker 4001

>>106807
Haha, that's awesome. I particularly love Maiko just chilling out and not giving a fuck in the first panel, and second panel's Zuki being a weirdo that freaks out others. Oh, and poor Tokka.

>>106786
>Only one Lin ship

That kinda makes me sad.

>>106780
Random art or season 2 foreshadowing?

>>106818
"BoLin" is standing in the crowd, and other Lin ships are probably there out-of-sight.

I feel so bad for Masami in that piture.

Tumblr is bent out of shape at this fic, which portrays Mako as an abusive partner
http://oddlyending.tumblr.com/post/25937251847/re-abuse-cycle-what-tenzin-saw

>>106858
Too accurate?

I dislike Mako and Makorra as much as anyone, but I just don't get abusive vibes.

>>106863
Same here. Abusive and stupid aren't the same things.

>>106863
>>106868
Of course not, this is a kids show.
Anyway, someone send it to Bryke. That'd be good for a laugh for two.

>>106858

I got as far as people using 'trigger warning' seriously then stopped.

There's only so much hilarious internet bullshit I can take. Why not just call it a warning, ya mutzez?

>>106870
Someday I'm gonna write a script for an action movie. A renegade Feminist cop uses tumblr to track down a serial rapist.
I'll call it TRIGGER WARNING.

>>106871

You made me choke on my rice crispies you bastard.

>>106863
Iunno, now that I think about Mako actually fits a lot of the criteria for abusive. The blame-shifting, selfishness, short temper and possessiveness. Not to mention the troubled childhood, gang affiliation and connection to violence.

>>106874
Those things can also be said, to a lesser degree, about your average horny teenage guy. Which is exactly what Mako is.
I have to wonder if Korra and Mako will break up over the course of season two. They're both pretty hot-tempered and I can see them getting into a lot of heated arguments, just not the kind that lead to abuse.

>>106875
It's never going to happen, but I'd like to see them quietly drifting apart for personal differences. Like Mako's too grounded while Korra's headed to the stars.

>>106874
dude, pretty much everybody is like that to some degree...

Just noticed Amon's eyes when he's called out by the Lieutenant.
C'mon, this is canon.

>>106885
I thought your eyes were supposed to dilate when you realize you're in the presence of someone you're attracted to.

>>106885
that reminds me, were there any screenshots of Amon's eyes before the reveal that showed them to be blue?
because all I remember was some guys saying he had Fire-like amber eyes versus nothing at all (as the Koh theory would need)

I thought of a comic idea where Korra does what I expected her to do and declines Mako when he confesses to her. After all, she's got loads more important stuff to worry about. But then I kept writing it to see what would probably happen if she did and I realized that there is no such thing as Makorra being well executed. The only way to undo the damage would be to make Mako never confess to her in the first place.

>>106893

I could excuse Makorra if Mako actually ASUMED responsability over shitting all over Asami and the break up happened earlier.

>>106897
If Korra acted like an actual friend and decent human being she could have addressed this as well.

>>106890
I started making a habit of color-testing them when some assbrain was trying to claim they were green for their Amon-is-Asami theory, and even during the finale they ranged from very, very, dark red to yellow, depending on the lighting.

Bolin is best shipped with older men.
http://heimdallll.tumblr.com/post/26118122602/imma-say-my-hand-slipped-for-the-last-2-days

>>106906
Maybe Iroh was brought it to make this canon. Make Nickelodeon shit themselves and cause some controversy. Season 2 deals with breakups (Korra and Mako), homosexual relationships (Bolin and Iroh) and even suicide. Asami

>>106908

Not cool, dude.

>>106913
YOU'RE not cool dude

As usual, BooterFreak fucking DELIVERS.

>>106950
Damn Booter-Freak why you gotta be so awesome all the time? Asami's reaction even makes up for the squick about the kids looking at this stuff. Love badass older Aang's response too.

>>106950

http://willynillylily.tumblr.com/post/26183034692/korra-and-asami-need-to-both-unfuck-that-asshole

Y'know, looking at this thread, I think the big problem with LoK vs. ATLA is that there's one significant core love quadrangle, that left two main characters screwed (and not in the nice way), and in terms of watching characters come together romantically, that was all there was. So if that didn't work for you, you were Shit Outta Luck.

In ATLA, if you didn't much care for Katara and Aang coming together, "perhaps you might enjoy some Zuko and Mai. No? Not quite for your palate? Well you're in luck, because we also have some Sokka and Suki!"

Whereas with LoK, if you didn't much care for Korra and Mako coming together, "perhaps you might enjoy some GTFO?"

>>107131

I think fandom shipping carries a greater weight with Korra as compared to ATLA becuase it was so damned short the first go-round. My stance with Korra Canon is "as long as Korra is happy, I'm happy" and then I go from there. A couple hormonal teenagers throwing around the L word just doesn't hit home with me anyways. I have no attachment to Makorra but I'm not exactly objecting to it, I guess?

Asami getting the biggest shit sandwich out of the bunch of the main Krew and her chemistry with Korra only makes that fandom pairing stronger.

Bolin getting overshadowed by basically everything else in the show just makes me wonder what Book 2 has in store for him. He would totally be an awesome SO to a lucky lady and genuinely love her with all his being. I wonder if they introduce a new love interest for him and they totally become the new 'Sukka'.

There's a Tumblr post, forget where it is, which analyzed the love triangle via camera shots. It basically convinced me that we weren't supposed to enjoy how Makorra came to be.

For now, I'm putting my vote on the theory that Bryke wanted to give the Zutarians the sort of (messed up, let's just have Aang and Mai's feelings thrown aside cause Zuko and Katara can't keep their hands off each other) romance they were so noisy about, but in the process made certain that fandom would shit on Makorra as much as the Zutarians shitted on Kataang.

Ironically, I've come across more Zutarians upset about Makorra than happy about it. They'd rather have Iroh II than Mako.

That said, I think Mako's just a typical confused hormone-addled teenage boy. Some of the hate he's gotten is disproportional, but I'm honestly more confounded by the remaining Makorra shippers who still think he's so romantic and ideal.

>>107132

>Bolin getting overshadowed by basically everything else in the show just makes me wonder what Book 2 has in store for him. He would totally be an awesome SO to a lucky lady and genuinely love her with all his being. I wonder if they introduce a new love interest for him and they totally become the new 'Sukka'.

I know people dread pairing spares, but if they don't handle it like Makorra, I do think I'd love to see Bosami happen.

I actually was hoping that was what they were going to do very early on.

But then Asami hit Mako with her moped, and the first warning sings fired off.

Then Episode 5 confirmed all my fears.

And lo and behold, did the shipping rectangle(?) sucked.

>>107314
You do realise that last sentence implies something about Lin's dad.

>>107451
Fuck, I'Ve really grown to like the idea of these two together.

I mean I wrote two fics for /co/ about it. But Tarrlok's face turn was what really sold me on it as something serious.

>>107451
>>107457
Maybe if Tarrlok had been honest with Korra from the start, I could see him in an older mentor role with a little flirting on Korra's end.

>>107469
He, well you can actually also read many of Tarrlok's actions as a roundabout way of courting Korra and his increasing frustration with her not responding.

>>107473

Tsundere Tarrlok? Tsunlock?

I think Tarrlok plays for the other tribe.

>>107480
Oh wonderful, he and Korra can be neighbors!

>>107473
>>107469

She was gonna let him outta that cell man... They could have been the strongest, most powerful couple in the world. Think of their hypothetical really, really ridiculously good looking children that they might have had together.

>>107476
>>107473

"S-stupid Korra... Its not like a bought you a car because I LIKE you or anything! You dummy..."

>>107490
>hypothetical children

which would be Bloodbenders. they would be feared and hated worse then mutants in Marvel. and because everything goes in cycles, i.e. is cliched, some or all of them would turn evil like their father and his brother. like Korra would have twins and one would turn to the dark side and work with uncle Noatak or become a new Amon if he's already dead. kill the current Avatar (mommy) and force the sibling to then slay them. OR the only child would turn evil forcing Korra to take away her child's bending. thus driving a wedge between her and husband Tarrlok. it all then ends with one or all of them throwing themselves into a volcano. how romantic

>>107495
Ahh...?

Korra isn't too happy in the house wife role.

Korra/Tarrlok is now my new favorite *can never happen but it would be interesting if it could* ship

>>107851

It doesn't seem to be going in that direction.

I think it's very well written and also clever but then again I don't read a lot of fanfics. Only AUs that have really interesting game-changing premises.

In the meantime, I'm going to love the shit out of the personality contrast in this little ship.

item added to wishlist for season 2:
>Asami jokingly referring to Korra as half-pint or pipsqueak

http://minuiko.tumblr.com/post/27894534725/by-far-the-most-requested-lok-ship-in-my-ask-so-i

OK. Now I understand the fandom. It all makes sense.

The two characters who have the most license to hate each other the most out of all the other characters and interactions are what becomes the most popular ship.

Zuko hated that Katara was the most consistent obstacle to his HONOR
Katara hated that Zuko was the prince of the nation who was responsible for her mothers death.

Therefore: ZUTARA 5 LYFE!.



Korra stole Asami's boyfriend, indicted her father (rightfully, but even so) and dragged her down to live with homeless people.
Asami...didn't really do anything to Korra. Just became increasingly grouchy with her obvious advances on her BF. Still, you can tell at this point her most positive opinion of her as a person would be detached indifference and at worst blood boiling jealousy anger and betrayal.

Therefore: KORASAMI IS LOVE!

>>108888
HINT: Both ships are popular because they're sexy. Girls ship Zutara because Zuko is Troubled and Cute and therefore they think he's sexy and needs Tender Loving Care to redeem him, and project onto Katara. Boys ship Korrasami because One Hot Girl + Another Hot Girl = sexay tiems. Both ships get accepted by the other gender because of the art/fanfic produced by the other side being entertaining or endearing in some way that makes them accept something that really isn't aimed at them.

>>108888

I kinda doubt Asami hates or resents Korra outright, but I guess we'll know in Season 2.

>>108888

Asami never had beef with Korra though. She had a little bonding time with her, told Korra that she was amazing, and admitted to Mako that she liked Korra before confronting him about his behavior. All of her ire/hurt about Mako/Korra was focused on Mako's hide.

Pic semi-related.

>>108889
>>108888
Uh huh.

Yeah, pretty sure most people that crack a smile at Korrasami know "no way in hell could this work on the show."

Zutara was a very different breed, where they combed relentlessly through eps for "proof" and even contacted the damn VA to try and get him to voice a fananimation of "the right ending". Which, of course, they never could put together.

This picture and it's accompanying fanfic are adorable

I'm glad some people remember the height difference

>>109217
I think the height difference was exaggerated a bit in that pic. Asami looks 7 feet tall

>>109223
Didn't the original series actually have a lot of scale problems? I remember Zuko being a head taller than the Gaang while being dwarfed by his guards. Since LOK has a cast of mostly upper teenagers, the differences are less extreme, but I've seen at least one joke about the Yakone family being a race of giants.

>>109226
There was this scene in episode 7 where Korra was standing opposite Asami... and either Asami is tall as shit or Korra is a shrimp.

And now remember that Mako and Tenzin are even taller than Asami. Someone here is either suffering from dwarfism or giantism.

Korra's short. Asami is taller than Bolin but shorter than Mako - who's the tallest character along with Tenzin.

>>109228
So Korra's height is such to help give the impression that big strong Mako needs to protect her, right?

Close but missed by a hair.

It does seem inconsistent in certain scenes.

To be fair, Bolin and Mako are standing behind Korra in that shot.

Also they messed up colouring Mako's left sleeve lmao.

I'm going to use the NSFW cover image wooooo

Although you don't actually see any private parts

Anyone else enjoying the new fanart based on the adult designs?

I wonder if she keeps her boots on.

>>109536
I'm pretty sure she CAN'T take her boots off at this point. They are fused with her flesh.

>>109544
She takes them off when she's wearing different outfits, it just happens offscreen.

The boots are a magical item that change to reflect what is in their wearer's mind and conform in shape and style to meet their owner's demands. She probably has to click her heels three times to activate them though.

Or just offscreen to give them a mysterious quality.

Is that blue armband epoxied to her?
