Korrlok OTP Winter meme: 3, 7, 8, 13?
:D
3: Who’s family hosts a bigger holiday gathering? What’s the gathering like for your OTP?So, the best part about the holidays in the Water Tribe is that they’re seasonal. Since their families live on opposite sides of the planet, it’s possible to never miss the big Solstice Celebration. While this fact delights Korra, Tarrlok is less than thrilled. He hates going home and he’s somewhat terrified of Korra’s father.Tarrlok’s family always throws the bigger celebration. His mother’s family is extensive (she was one of twelve)and half the villages comes out to visit and see the Avatar. It’s always a huge deal and Tarrlok always feels like they’re imposing and drawing too much attention. Korra, on the other hand, loves the attention and tries to get along with everyone.Things are usually pretty okay right up until Tarrlok’s mom starts asking about grandkids… They’re in real trouble if Senna decides to join them, because then they get tag-teamed by two eager grandmamas-in-waiting (Tonraq isn’t there to reign Senna in, he’s still banished from the North).Visiting Korra’s family is always quieter, but somewhat more tense. Tarrlok swears that Tonraq hates him and wants his hide. Korra of course disagrees, but she never sees the murder-glare that her father gives her boyfriend/husband whenever she’s not looking. Also the White Lotus guards are always hovering just outside the edge of sight… And that gets really, really uncomfortable. There’s very little privacy…
7: Does your OTP ever have snowball fights?Yes. Whenever it snows, snowball fights happen. Sometimes they don’t even bother waiting for snow (water benders). Korra usually starts the fight. Often at the most inopportune moments–in the middle of a press-conference, immediately after a press-conference, right when he gets out of the car at a fancy event… She loves trying to provoke him, just to see if she can get a rise out of him. He will resist retaliation until he’s no longer required to look dignified…Then he’ll drop a pile of snow on her and the fight is on. It’s only over when Korra wins or Tarrlok gives up on using snow and just physically tackles her to kiss her senseless. And then they go cuddle somewhere warm.
8: What gifts would they get each other for the holidays?Tarrlok wants to be extravagant (he wants to put Korra in silk dresses and drape her in jewels), but it’s pointless. Korra doesn’t do extravagant. She likes weapons and practical things. If it’s fragile and delicate she will break it in five seconds or less, jewelry disappears into drawers to be forgotten, and books just gather dust… So he gets her things that are useful and will not be destroyed or forgotten.Korra knows that Tarrlok likes fancy things. She tries to get him nice things, but she’s usually a little off the mark. Also, she has no budget, so she has to go and scrounge up money from wherever she can… or she has to go make something.He prefers the ones she makes, because they’re usually more suited to him than anything she buys (like awful perfume, he doesn’t know how many times he’s tried to explain the concept of cologne to her). He also thinks it’s very sweet when she makes him gifts, but he’s a little reluctant to tell her that… he doesn’t want to seem too sentimental or cheap.
13: Who tries to get a secret gift for the other one for Valentine’s Day?Tarrlok is a workaholic who is prone to spending minor holidays locked in his office and tied to his desk.When they first got together, he would always buy Korra a surprise gift as an apology for missing out on holidays such as Valentines Day. He’d buy flowers or chocolate or jewelry and send it to the Air Temple as an ‘I’m sorry I can’t be there’ gift.Korra, of course, had no idea that she was missing anything special. She just thought that he kept getting the date of their anniversary wrong… or something. This lasted right up until she noticed that all her friends were doing lovey-dovey stuff with their significant others on that particular day… And then she got sick of missing out and demanded his presence for “that Couples-Day-Thing.”Tarrlok, being a politician, made all kinds of promises that he had no intention of keeping and locked himself in his office again… So, of course, Korra decided to bring couples time to the office…Now he buys her slinky underwear for her to wear when she visits the office. And since it’s usually him ripping things, he’s not particularly offended by any item’s destruction.
