There's a popular upcoming Chinese Republican drama (Overdo) with a military ml and heiress fl and the actors are also so aesthetically Irohsami-coded that I took a peek into this tag and was so so so happy that this tiny community is still alive and that there's mostly just positive posts here. Can't wait to read your works!
I don't really watch C-dramas but holy hell you are right.
Now kiss.
I do what I can to keep this little tag positive. There aren't many people on the Irosami dinghy anymore and even fewer creating anything for the ship but the couple of us around still sing a rousing sea shanty all the same.
inspired by a certain someone's misfortune. I hope this'll cheer you up. I was due to make some irohsami art anyhow. (otherwise maybe ice well help, but that's kind of the obvious thing.)
pov you're the beloved mutual i made this comic for:
also here's my unadvised attempt to draw Asami from memory
I couldn't take Korrasami as a ship seriously because back when LOK B1 was airing literally everyone was shipping Korra with. Literally every one (Korra and the Doorman in Revelations, Tarrlok, Lin Beifong, Tahno, etc. Korra x Asami shipping happened at the same time).
Actually I couldn't take any shipping seriously because how ready everyone was to ship every character with someone else (Jinora with Skoochy was a really big one even thought they never talked, Bolin x Asami, IROH II AND ASAMI??!!?!?!)
Beauty and the beast- brave and beautiful daughter of an inventor? And Korra would be a good beast. She gives off furry vibes and has anger issues.
Hercules- ive seen this one a couple times. It fits so well!
Makorra:
The swan princess -Mako has enough social ineptitude to offend a woman in five syllables or less. Korra will wreak havoc as a swan tho. Have you ever been pecked by a swan? They have serrated beaks. Serrated beaks!
Rapunzel- magical girl isolated from the world and insecure boy with ties to crime? Excellent. Make her hair turn silvery blue like healing water.
Masami:
Hunchback of Notre Dame- but Asami is Phoebus and Mako is Esmeralda because fuck gender norms. I imagine in this AU Hiroshi is the Frollo and is hunting down benders or smth. Bolin can be the goat.
Aladdin- hot independent princess and street rat boy. Need I say more? Let Korra be the genie.
Irohsami:
Mulan- good luck disguising yourself as a twink, Asami. Iroh bouta go through a crisis of sexuality.
Treasure Planet- briliant yet inexperienced dr Asami Sato is on an expedition to discover the lost Treasure of captain Flint onboard a ship commanded by the extremely capable captain Iroh. [ catgirl Iroh catgirl Iroh]
Weilin:
Anastasia- Due to an uprising the Beifongs, who are either royalty or nobles in this AU, i haven't yet decided have to flee their home. But an eight year old Wei doesn't make it and after sustaining a head injury, forgets who he is. Mako and Bolin are conmen (which is sorta in line with canon, they did scams as kids) and are trying to find someone to pose as the lost prince in order to collect the reward money the royal family offers for his return. (Though i might make Varrick take the tole of Vlad) They find Wei and he seems perfect for the job. (Haven't yet decided who is gonna be Rasputin. Aiwei maybe?)
Atlantis- Bolin and a group of other adventurers travel to the lost city of Zaofu, where the Beifong family live and Wei becomes very interested in the outsider. [Hnnn i need to draw the 'you do swim, do you not?' Scene with them]
Kainora:
Peter pan - Jinora and her siblings travel to Neverland with Kai and have child friendly adventures complete with puppy love. Good for them.
Bopal( im sorry bopal shippers, but i like despise this ship so not much for them. I did my best tho):
Wild Swans (from Mikhail Baryshnikow's 'Stories from my childhood') - As a result of an evil witch's spell, Opal's brothers ( and heck, toss Kuvira in there too) are turned into swans and their parents forget the existence of their children. Opal takes on the arduous task of shirts out of stinging nettles for them, while maintaining a vow of silence, the only way to break the spell. While her siblings are away, Opal is found by prince Bolin. Due to the fact that she needs to remain silent to break the spell, she is unable to explain the situation, so Bolin takes her back to his castle and they fall in love. But soon people start to suspect Opal of witchcraft. (The prince is super goofy in that movie and also preforms an opera ballad for the princess and i can see bolin standing under Opal's window singing : WHERE IS YOUR HEART?)
