if u really have to bring down a sapphic ship that changed animation forever just to lift up a ship that was just toxic and unnecessarily dragged on for two seasons straight, then you really are a sore loser. korra baby i’m so sorry.

Makorra shippers really missed out on a golden opportunity over the past decade
Heads up: This is a lengthy rant about Makorra, missed opportunities, and fandom dynamics. If you’re interested, click below to keep reading.
Makorra shippers really missed out on a golden opportunity over the past decade. It is honestly frustrating because we had the chance to ride the wave and solidify the ship while it still had momentum. Instead, many of us left, and the ship never reached its full potential. The “we popping the biggest bottles when Makorra happens tomorrow” post by avatarskorra became iconic, a cultural touchstone of fandom history. Its continued use and adaptation in other fandoms prove just how deeply it resonated. That kind of legacy matters more than being endgame. Makorra’s lasting influence in memes, discussions, and cross fandom comparisons shows it left a deeper impression than many ships.
I know the harassment we faced was tough, and it took a toll on the fanbase. It is understandable why many Makorra shippers chose to step away or even switch to the endgame ship. Still, I can’t help but wonder if we could have stayed strong and fought back harder, using the negativity as fuel to keep the ship alive. The mockery could have been turned into a rallying point, a way to reclaim the narrative and ensure Makorra remained a presence in popularity.
If Makorra fans had stayed united after Korra ended, we could have transformed the mockery into fuel for visibility and relevance. Endgame status is not everything. Look at Klance, a crackship that remains more popular than Allurance, the canon pairing in Voltron: Legendary Defender. Klance stayed relevant because its fanbase never gave up. Similarly, Zutara, a fanon ship, continues to overshadow Kataang in popularity despite the latter being canon. If Makorra fans had stuck together, we could have turned the ship into a similar force, proving that relevance and legacy matter more than the show’s outcomes.
The “popping bottles” post gave Makorra a unique position to stay in the spotlight, even as a joke. The years of mockery surrounding it actually provided us with an incredible opportunity. Instead of seeing it as a loss, we could have reclaimed that narrative and used it to keep Makorra alive in fandom. I regret not recognizing this at the time and not knowing how to draw either. If I had, I could have contributed to keeping the ship trending, turning negativity into something we owned. No other non endgame ship has had such a clear chance to remain relevant.
I’m not saying we should’ve turned into those insufferable Zutara shippers. I’m not condemning them either. What we could’ve done was take all the mockery thrown at us and flip it into fuel. Instead of letting it break us down, we could’ve used it to keep Makorra trending, the way Zutara shippers have somehow managed to keep their ship alive all these years. If they can keep their non canon ship afloat for over a decade, there’s no reason we couldn’t have done the same. We had the momentum, the iconic moments, and the presence. We just didn’t use it. We had everything we needed to keep Makorra thriving but did not take full advantage of it. With the right energy and effort, we could have turned the mockery and the memes into a badge of pride against hate lol.
Most people have moved on by now, hence their 10 year anniversary was a flop. 🤭 They didn’t trend, didn’t do anything significant, just dusted off the same tired ancient post and made it semi viral again. So really, it’s a win-win for us. We still got a mention!
You all are such clowns, even Janet cant stand you all and clowns you all til this day. Just delusional. That post you're talking about barely made the rounds. Korrasami hit viral tweets easily almost every day. You all are scrambling to hit 20 likes on a good day. Rest easy. You all are such bums, you lose out to even MASAMI of all ships as well on polls, it's actually hilarious.
WE MADE IT! ✨✨✨ I had to change my original plans for today, because of time, so I hope you enjoy this one! Who knows, I might make a comeback with the original someday (maybe)!
Anyways! I hope you've enjoyed this week just as much as I have. These two girls mean so much to me, and I'm so glad I've been able to share this with you all!
While I won't ever stop drawing them, I have to take a break and shift focus a bit. As I wrap up, I just want to thank you for all of the support throughout the years. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you. ❤️💙
