Here's the thing I've been thinking about after watching Legend of Korra, it's not a good sequel to the the last Airbender, but it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be a continuation of the world. Am I sad that the original gaang Is not in it as much as I wanted? Yes. Season 1 (the only season I've watched so far, for context. I've heard about the horrors of S2 though) was good, but it was missing a lot of things. Character growth for one. It felt like if you put all of the characters from the begining of the season into the final episode they would have made the same decisions. With the exception of maybe Korra. It shows they thought they only had one season. And personally I think the writers could have worked harder to make it a full story with only one season. They had thirteen episodes and yet they still rushed episode thirteen.

But even still, it wasn't supposed to be ALTA. It was supposed to be tLoK. Was it well written? Eh some of it. I'm deep diving into this now I guess.

The plot? Good, felt disconnected though. Start of season: trying to win a sport, end of season: fighting god. (This disconnect is similar to the one in S2 of Arcane. Starts with a revenge heist ends fighting god) I wish they'd used what they learned as a team to beat Amon. Or that them doing the bending matches had any impact on the final episode. Though Amon holding the debend everybody rally in the finale in the probending arena (I think) was so dramatic. Like bro? Freaking king for deciding he hated pro bending so much he was going to hold a rally against bendingon the old stage. That's like if someone really hated baseball so they did a giant rally about how awful baseball is in the biggest field for it. Though, even with that it's so disconnected. Like if I had only seen the finale and someone told me the midpoint was them winning a sport I would not believe them and that's a problem. The season feels split in two. The bending matches and then the big Amon problem. It's like couch that's made of cardboard on one end, cement on the other. Little to no overlap. It's not cohesive, and that's part of the problem.

The villan? Decent, started out as one of the most well written characters I've seen in a while, ended kinda mid. Though the scene of him jumping through fire in the finale was SO COOL and I need that to be acknowledged at least once. Amon felt like a threat, this looming thing no character could escape. However that was also a problem because it made a writing corner because he was too cool. Too OP. Give your villains fatal flaws people! :)

Setting? I liked the setting, liked how the technology from ALTA bled into the tech in Korra. But I know I'm not the first to say this, Republic city felt empty. Post episode like six I think it's just so empty, and muted. Not enough people. Not enough life. Maybe that's intentional, but it made me feel like I was in a liminal space. I wish we'd spent more time with a crowded Republic city so the empty one felt like it meant something.

AtLA doesn't have this problem. Everywhere they go has people, has atmosphere. LoK is just empty, even when there is people. The people somewhat feel like they only have lives when Korra is around. Mako, Bolin and Asami have a similar problem. Their stories only progress when Korra is around to be what drags them around.

Also, side note but they should have brought Katara to the meeting where they arrested Yakone. Suspected bloodbender? Wouldn't it be convient if there was a person the council knew, specifically Sokka, was able to resist bloodbending? Just Incase he was super dangerous and might create a son who would take away people's bending? Just Incase something went wrong? Also why did everyone float when they were bloodbend? Like, um? What?

The next big thing. The finale. It was so rushed. I think it was like half a season squished into twenty minutes. Korra andin should have had to deal with not being able to bend, Korrs should have had a longer breakdown, and Mako should not have kissed her in my opinion. Their romance is fine, not the worst writing, but it makes Asami feel like a prop for the love triangle, nothing else.

I'm going to split up my thoughts so this isn't a mega post. Expect multiple posts soon. I have many thoughts. Idk if anyone cares, I just want somewhere to put them.

First thoughts, the thoughts on characters, then maybe how to fix season 1.

My cat post

I have two cats, and have been described in real life, by people who know me, as a crazy cat lady in training. Well, today, one of my cats finally allowed me to take a photo of her (the first in years), and I wanted to share it!

Her name is Tippy, and she’s about 10 years old. She was adopted from the pound at six months, a couple weeks after my first cat, Bonnie, died an untimely death. Incidentally, Tippy looks exactly like Bonnie. She loves hunting (she’s downed birds mid-flight multiple times), and does not get along well with other cats. She used to pick fights with other cats in the neighborhood (and won), and after spending so long with just me, she wasn’t very happy when other cats came into the mix.

My other cat is Nala, and she’s three years old. My family adopted her and my sister’s cat from a family in Maryland, because the husband turned out to have a cat allergy. She’s been with me for a year or two, and she’s much more open to being photographed.

Both Tippy and Nala have been certified ESAs, but that certification expired this year. And it goes both ways, since I’m their emotional support human. They have legitimately fought over who gets to sleep on my chest before. If they’re both on the bed, I have to be the boundary between. They assert dominance over each other by seeing who curls up in my arm first.

I’ve joked with family members that the only thoughts in Nala’s head are “food, sleep, attention, repeat”. If it was up to her, she’d never set a paw out of my bedroom.

Tippy, on the other hand, prefers the garage lifestyle.

As the above drawing states, Tippy is definitely the smaller of the two. And yes, she’s a bad bitch. She once got a chunk taken out of a back leg from a possum bite (a possum kept getting into my room, I kept a spray bottle by my bed specifically for that little fucker), and she was 100% fine in a week.

Nala has never hunted a day in her life.

I can identify my cats by voice. Tippy has the kind of meow you hear in kids’ toys, and Nala’s meow is just “AAAAAAAAAAAAA”. My grandmother and I have taken to saying “AAAAAAAAAAAAA” back.

That bit about “We’ll have what she’s having” is a call back to me giving them bits of chicken when they beg for it off my plate. They were both very happy campers.

So yeah. Those are my cats.

You know what that means

I’ve had this question about Mirrored Walls for a bit, so I’ll ask it in honor of your birthday:

For the coaches that are on earth, do their maps still work? Or if someone tried to play, for example, Rather Be, would it show an error message?

I’ll admit I haven’t thought about that, but it’s a fun little paradox. I feel like the maps would still work? Cuz it’s not like what’s happening in the map happens over and over again in the Danceverses whenever someone plays that map. I guess it’s more like they’re playing a video of something that happened one time.

BUT its funnier to imagine that the game crashes if you try to play one of their maps and Ubisoft has been getting a bunch of angry tweets about all the story mode maps being broken this whole time, soooooooo I’m gonna go with that

Yeehan but instead of “ guy who hates everyone (Hanzo) only likes you (Cole) ” pipeline I’ve usually seen

It’s a “ guy who is pretty close to everyone (Cole) hates you specifically & with good reason (Hanzo)” to “ though what you did was horrible & wrong I have come to understand you & your actions. you changed & have come to understand & care for me in a way no one has in a long time. For that, I can no longer wholeheartedly blame or hate you. Doesn’t mean I like you though. I’m sorry I had to spend the night in your room again. Please don’t leave, I can’t lose you like I did the others.” Pipeline

( this isn’t to diss on ppl who enjoy the first trope either. It’s perfectly valid to enjoy it and has become popular for a good reason! This is just personally what I enjoy[: )
