#pro korrasami

when i’m having a terrible day, i just remind myself that kataang and korrasami are canon soulmates bound spiritually and it instantly makes me feel better

The breakdowns from idiots when Mileven stays canon and Byler never happens will be hilarious. They will be reaching levels of cope that H*ntluz, D*slestia, Z*tara, M*korra, *some* Gl*mmadora, and *some* Rarijack fans had when Lumity/Huntlow, Fluttercord, Kataang/Maiko, Korrasami, Catradora/Glimbow, and Appledash became either canonically or semi-canonically endgame 😌☕️

Ugggfh Nickelodeon robbed us so bad. At the time LOK was airing I thought korrasami was rushed, but after multiple rewatches it’s pretty clearly there, but if you’re looking for it through a heteronormative lense you’ll miss it. That was the whole point. That was the only way Nick would even let them do it. But if you’ve spent time in fandom shipping non-het ships and latching onto any tiny nugget of potential feelings between two characters you KNOW won’t end up together and watch LOK through that same lense, what we got is all the same stuff people would use to justify a ship in any other series. It’s subtle and not as in your face as K/ataang or M/aiko but it’s there, and I appreciate it a lot more now than I did then. It actually ends up feeling deeper and more emotionally developed than some of those ships to me.

That said, after reading the LOK comics where Korra and Asami are much more open and affectionate and clearly in a relationship, I feel robbed, because this is what we COULD have had, but Nick didn’t want to take heat from homophobic suburban moms about a kiss or an “I love you” between two women on screen and shut it down.

It’s so easy to say “that’s the most they could do at the time” and “korrasami walked so catradora and lumity could run” and while that’s absolutely TRUE I still hate that it wasn’t clear enough so people still be out on Reddit or in the comments of Asami’s page on the wiki saying they hate korrasami and don’t consider it canon because “it didn’t have development” or “they could be holding hands as friends”. Like it was TOO subtle so homophobes are out here using the lack of clarity as a screen for their homophobia trying to say their dislike stems from a problem with the writing and not from the fact that it’s two women.

the opinions “korrasami deserved better development and hinting through all 4 books” and “korrasami was a big step for its time” can coexist

If I hear anyone call Korrasami “rushed” again, I’m going to go into an astral form, find them and give them nightmares.

I see anti korrasami / anti legend of korra, started to throw their hateful opinions again, they were quiet for so long , but a few pages from the comic book were leaked and now they are at it again, if you don’t like it so much why you still complaining after 3 years. (they all probably still gonna read the comic book just so they can “criticize” it smh)

Their so called criticism (their childish bias and hate to a fictional story and it’s creators) is nothing new they just repeat their same old beats like a broken record, what they like to call pandering, I call it fanservice that shows that bryke aims to please the majority of the fandom even at the cost of getting the loud hateful minority angry. 

It’s unrealistic to think Bryke could of pleased everyone, and no matter how the comic book is written those fans would continue to whine and complain about everything that they find wrong with it. for example they complained Korrasami is not developed or came out of the blue, the comic book develops them and add to past events the context that was missing as they only used as subtext in the show, but do the haters changed their mind now on Korrasami (even a little bit) after it is given the development they said was not there, nope they hate it the same as before.

Wanting to give the casual fans or new fans what they want is not necessarily a negative thing many writers do it and will continue to do it, the comic book was made for the fans that enjoyed the TV show and wanted more,and for new fans alike, so excuse Bryan that would rather give to those fans what they want instead of the critical hateful and ungrateful minority that no matter what, they would still complain. 

As for representation of LGBT+ goes those that find it poor representation are just as hateful to the series and it’s creators as the rest of the loud minority, they are under the impression that it needs to be perfect or nothing at all, what they don’t realize is that to get to perfect you have to start from somewhere, in order to achieve the greater goal, this may be a small step for LGBT+ but still an important one that is why they shouldn’t undermine the importance of this representation even if it doesn’t live up to their high standards.

The haters also saw three panels from the comics and now are saying it’s all about the gays. because Kya is now gay (which if we are being honest was always suspected) and that Kyoshi loved both man and woman which there is nothing to say it wasn’t true, and there is Sozin banning same sex relationship which again doesn’t contradict the source material, and Sozin being evil isn’t anything new, 

Adding this plot to get interest of the newer fans is not surprising and it doesn’t mean it’s all about the gays, the relationship of Korra and Asami makes this knowledge important to get the reader to understand how their relationship is viewed in the avatar universe so the haters shouldn’t say it’s unrelated to plot. 

The reason it was never mentioned before is 1 because no one asked before (meaning there was no reason to talk about the subject of sexuality and same sex couples, until now that it became relevant for Korra and Asami to deal with it, and now is important to the plot and main character)  2. it’s a retcon (and yes I myself dislike retcons) but as long as the retcon doesn’t contradict the previously established story then there is no reason to be hateful towards it, retcons are used on regular basis in entertainment TV especially long running franchises , the voiceful minority can’t handle them because of their “pure fan” nature as in they hate everything that might ruin their head canons about the world and it’s characters that they based on before the use of the retcon. 

and another thing I saw being said is LOK will be forgotten, yeah sure that is why it’s getting a trilogy of comic books after 3 years because it’s going to get forgotten smh, if anyone is gonna be forgotten it is those loud minority that have way too much time on their hands I bet these people are not just antis in LOK fandom but in other animated shows in fact i”m sure of it, because haters gonna hate that’s what they do. so let’s just ignore them and forget they even exist not give them the attention they so desperately want. Let’s just focus on what we love.

I see a lot of people say that Mako and Korra is like a bad version of Zutara, but that is not the couple in Legend of Korra I compare to Zutara. For me that couple is my favorite couple, Korrasami. Of course Korra is a girl from the Southern Water Tribe which would throw her into the Katara role. But no one ever thinks about how Asami is more of a Zuko than Mako is even though she is not a bender and female. Asami is from a Fire Nation family and much like Zuko she lost her mother at a young age, her mother was killed and his was banished. Early on in the series Asami finds out that her father was working for Amon (the first major villain of the series) and instead of being loyal to her father, she does the right thing which was join Korra’s side. This makes me think of Zuko confronting his father to say he would ally himself with Aang. Much like Katara with Zuko, Korra at first shows mistrust towards Asami, though it wasn’t as extreme as the mistrust as Katara’s since Asami wasn’t on the other side of a war like Zuko had been and was mainly over Mako. But much like with Zuko and Katara, Asami eventually becomes one of Korra’s most trusted allies. After the conflict with Amon, Asami must take over her father’s position as head of the company and uses it do good things for the world much like how Zuko did when he became the Firelord. So instead of comparing Mako/Korra to Zutara, I am going to compare Korra/Asami to Zutara.
