Song: La Nueva y La Ex by Daddy Yankee

This song was a gem for that of the 2000's in Latin America, when I heard it I remembered KorrAsami 👌

[im--never--happy]

sure thing fam.

so. mako's the only one who can and actually does cook, full stop. that's not the most important point but it's one i think about a lot. bolin always had mako cooking for him. mako goes and buys groceries and fucking cooks them. bolin is a takeout kinda guy -- how else would his and mako's food (withheld from their wages) money s1 be so expensive and mako not know about it? bolin was just buying food from other people and not actually buying groceries that he brought home to cook. korra can't/doesn't cook because she's, and i quote, "always had people taking care of her". all her basic needs have been met all her life pre-show and after she comes to RC, where pema and the air acolytes probs do all the cooking on Air Temple Island. asami is rich af and has personal servants. the chance of her actually having to grocery shop and cook are extremely close to zero. mako on the other hand, was actively shown casually cooking and seasoning up some noodles. he buys groceries, he brings home food for bolin, he kept his brother alive for years. home boy can cook (and is probably pretty decent at it too)

next on the list: mako has held down a steady job for years. prior to being a pro-bender, he was working cleaning the arena in exchange for room and board. sure bolin was working too, but we all know mako was pulling the brunt of the weight. he also worked his ass off for the triads while bolin goofed around and bet all their money. and sure sure they were both kids then, but im saying that to set the precedent and demonstrate a pattern. bolin goofed off and splurged their money all the time but mako took everything (and their finances) very seriously. kid picks up extra factory shifts on top of pro-bending to scrape up extra cash, working long physically demanding hours, (and the first thing he does, is bring bolin his favorite food as a peace offering). then he holds down his job at RC police for years. he gets promoted to detective because he's so good at it and so competent. (and then he get's promoted to guarding literal world leader because he's so trustworthy as well). Meanwhile, Bolin jumps from job to job. Pro bender, mover star, kuvira's lackey, varrick's assistant (tho he didn't have a choice in that last one). korra never even had a job. she was on tarlock's task force for a hot second before she bailed on that. sure asami saved and ran a massive successful technology company for several years, but she wasn't already working from the start of s1, as well as her company did technically go bankrupt (tho that's not really her fault).

when no one wants to knock on Lin's door in s3 in zhaofu (idk how to spell anything sorry y'all), they're all making excuses and mako's just like fine whatever i'll do it. and he steps the fuck up and braves whatever the consequences may be. because. he's. responsible.

mako is trusted to guard prince wu at age 22 (maybe earlier since we don't know how long he was doing that for). he's a 22 year old. and he is entrusted with the safety and security of a future world leader to a country in the midst of a major civil war and a major world crisis. like think about that in real life. how insane that actually is, to put a 22 year old by himself in charge of keeping the next world leader alive. he got that position because he is responsible as fuck. now compare to bolin, who was not actually in kuvira's inner circle (until they wanted to use him as a tool to persuade Su and her family). or korra who was never put in charge of guarding or protecting anybody and who frequently needed to be guarded and protected herself.

mako perpetually talked bolin and korra out of numerous bad rash ideas, and then proceeded to save their asses when they went ahead and did them anyways.

he is captain of the fire ferrets because he's the calmest most level headed, reliable, and responsible.

mako reliably takes care of the krew. he tries to keep them out of trouble, he tries to protect them, to rescue them when they get themselves into situations (too many to count or name for bolin and korra, for asami when she literally makes a business deal with a duplicitous fuck (i love varrick ngl) who then double crosses her and steals all her products and bankrupts her. but mako has that plan for how to save the day, and by god he fucking executes on it. sure he gets framed and put in jail but like. semantics lmao. if he hadn't have been set up and framed, he would have succeeded. and even then, he literally did succeed in the end.), and to make everything right. the kid knew how to responsibly spend and budget money, which none of the others did.

during the stakeout for Aiwei, mako was utterly focused and determined and on task. bolin and asami were literally playing a board game. korra was killing time, and trying to get up and barge in on Aiwei. Mako was sitting diligently and patiently at the window, never distracted or looking away, literally taking notes in his logbook.

when they were investigating aiwei in zaofu, bolin goes and touches and moves Aiwei's things, mako is the responsible adult putting them back in place since bolin didn't bother to pay attention.

mako always had a plan. he was never flustered, he never went into a situation half-baked. he always planned and figured shit out, and he was reliable af. korra barged into countless situations with zero caution or plan, but always counted on mako to come up with a plan to save the day and get them out. in s1 when the equalists took bolin, korra just fucking kicks down the doors of the triple threat triad's hq, while mako was all about going in cautiously. then when they get to the equalist rally, mako stops korra from just jumping on stage and starting a fight against hundreds (probs thousands) of equalists to grab bolin. instead he thinks of a good plan and he executes it and gets them all out of there alive and bending in tact.

listen, asami can also be fairly responsible, but she is not Team Mom the way mako is definitively and unequivocally Team Dad.

hi hello would you want to talk about mako with me?

hell fucking yeah I do!!! I could talk about Mako 24/7!! What about Mako do you want to talk about?! His amazing bending skills? His guilt and savior complexes? The struggle and internal angst he must have with bending the same element that was used to kill his parents? The trauma of watching his parents be murdered in front of him when he was eight? Him literally raising his brother entirely alone all by himself on the streets with no support or help from anyone while he himself was a homeless child? The work he did for the triads? The things he must have seen and trauma he incurred? What he must have had to do to get himself and Bolin out of the triads, because top secret dangerous gangs don’t just let people walk away with potentially dangerous knowledge and secrets? Or should we talk about how he was the only responsible member of the gang? How he couldn’t trust anyone and was always used to having to take care of everything all by himself? Should we talk about how he never felt deserving of love or affection and always let other people mistreat and misjudge him and he never resented them for treating him unfairly because he literally didn’t think he deserved any better? Should we talk about how he just wants to protect the people he loves and keep them safe? Or should we talk about how much of an outsider he probably felt like in his earth kingdom family and how he had no connection to his fire nation side or any family members who looked like him? Should we talk about how he had no positive firebending role models growing up and even as an adult, how the only firebenders he ever interacted with were triad members? Or maybe we should talk about how betrayed he must have felt by everyone when varrick framed him, or how betrayed and lonely and abandoned and useless and low he must have felt when Bolin had left and he found out korra had stayed in touch with asami but not him? Or what about the guilt and shame and trauma from when he straight up killed sparky sparky boom lady 2.0? Or what about the fact that he full on sacrificed himself—fully expecting to die— to save Republic City from Kuvira’s evil spirit vine weapon, and was permanently scarred (and probably disabled from it), and how he first ordered Bolin to get out and save Kuivira’s soldiers and himself while Mako stayed behind to blow up the weapon (and probably die in the process)? Or maybe we should talk about how he was so insanely fucking smart and clever and resourceful and logical and rational and brave and also such a huge dork and nerd when he was allowed to be and didn’t have to have all the responsibility and weight of the world on his shoulders? What do you want to talk about friend because I could talk about mako aaaallllllllll fucking day!!

TLOK Comics

I AM REALLY SICK OF THE TLOK CANON COMICS AVOIDING ANYTHING THAT PRIMARILY FOCUSES ON KORRA AND ASAMI.

Turf Wars didn't really address their relationship going forward since we never see them talking about it directly outside of that one moment in Spirit World (the how did you know moment, which doesn't address their relationship going forward), brief meet the parents (ends badly), talking to Kya about acceptance of LGBTQ couples, and saying i love you at the end. Worse, Turf wars was a damsel in distress trope (these need to stop; it's boring/bad writing).

Why can we not have scenes of them talking about their relationship, how they'll live together and where, some of the rituals they start doing together, etc. Them having a cute date night, that gets interrupted, they are badass together, then they go back to doing their date night. Or Avatar Korra doing some Avatar-mission with Asami at her side being just as badass.

Like, I do not understand why they avoid them so damn much. They just bait us with fancy covers and snippets that barely cover their relationship. Also, I'd love to see the comic writer for a Korrasami comic be a bi or lesbian writer, so we can actually get solid writing for once. Is that so hard to ask?

Do we need to start a petition to demand this?

And I'd like to also demand that they fucking STOP nerfing Asami? She is perfectly capable of taking down nearly anyone by herself. She took down six Equalists and a mech tank in Book 1 for heaven's sake. She took down Red Lotus people in one move in Book 3. Rebuild an airship and built a sandsailer in Book 3. She flies planes and can invent ridiculously fancy tech like hummingbirds.

And yet they keep giving us shitty damsel in distress tropes with her. STOP IT.

Let Korra and Asami work as badass partners for once.

Anyway, that's my rant of the century.

No, I don't want to read another one-shot that doesn't feature them. *sighs* I'm just so frustrated.

[EDIT: I want to be clear her that Asami being kidnapped by Tokuga is the literal definition of damsel in distress. Yes, she uses her badass engineering skills to try to ruin his plans, but this ultimate fails as he overpowers her and starts choking her. Korra comes to her rescue. Why is this so frustrating? Asami is a badass fighter who can kick someone off a motorcycle and steal their spear while at it in Book 3. She took down six equalists at the same time after blowing up their mech tank in book 1. She's more than capable of taking down Tokuga, and yet PLOT made it so she couldn't. It was jarring and a bit unbelievable considering what we've seen of her capabilities in the actual show. We see the same thing in Ruins of Empire. Where her, Bolin, and Mako are overwhelmed by only a handful of soldiers. Asami could have taken down several of them herself, and Mako's lightning is highly effective against metal. Yet they're still taken? Again, it's the damsel in distress plot. This time Asami's mind and body is kidnapped (due to brainwashing), and Korra must save her. It's boring and shitty writing.]

You don’t seem to get enough TLOK asks so let me say one: What would each krew member’s tiktok for you page be full of? (Including Wu, I consider Wu the late edition team avatar member like Zuko was for the gaang)

Ooo thanks anon, you’re right that I don’t get too many LoK asks lol. Also I totally agree that Wu is a late member addition of the Krew, as is Opal, with them both being significant others of original Krew members.

Hmmm okay let me think… so I’m honestly not a huge TikTok user - I check it maybe every 3-5 days just because I know I’m gonna be scrolling for a long time when I do check it lol. I’m also not super familiar with all the different types of algorithms and names for different corners of TikTok, so I apologize in advance 😅

- Korra: bodybuilding, sports, gaytok, politics/news (tho she probably wouldn’t like to see it bc she uses TikTok to distract from real life lol), cute dog videos

- Asami: mechanic stuff, science, makeup/hair tutorials, fashion, race car driving/motorcycle stuff, gaytok

- Mako: sports, true crime, gaytok, drag queen content (Wu got him into it)

- Bolin: cute animals, baking (idk why I just think he’d like it), sports, acting/musical theater

- Wu: cute animals, gaytok, drag queen content, musical theater, fashion

- Opal: leftist TikTok (she’s very passionate about social justice), fashion, makeup/hair tutorials, cute animals

thats how tlok would went if i was the writer

Avatar at SDCC 2023

Here’s your rundown of the Avatar franchise’s presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year:

👉 [CANCELLED] Avatar: Braving the Elements—Live! on Thursday July 20th at 1pm!

The Braving the Elements panel this year has been ***cancelled*** last minute due to the SAG-AFTRA strike meaning that hosts Janet Varney (the voice of Korra) and Dante Basco (the voice of Zuko) aren’t attending SDCC.

This is the panel that Avatar Studios revealed their first animated movie, the adult Team Avatar one, at last year; we don’t know what would have been revealed, if anything, this year.

It’s possible the soundtrack that was just announced today completely out of the blue was supposed to be revealed at this panel.

👉 Water, Earth, Fire, Air: Continuing the Avatar Legacy on Saturday, July 22nd at 12:30pm!

This year’s publishing panel is still on. This is where we could get news on novels, comics, etc.

This is the panel that the Azula in the Spirit Temple solo graphic novel was announced at last year, as well as the new Korra comic trilogy/trio, the first of which is supposed to be focused on Mako. This SDCC, we’re hoping that Mako comic is fully revealed, as well as maybe preview pages for Azula, and an even longer shot would be finding out who the next ATLA and/or TLOK comics will be about (Azula/Mai/Ty Lee; Mako/Bolin/Asami??)

It’s also possible with The Legacy of Yangchen just having coming out this week that the next Chronicles of the Avatar novel will be announced, revealing which Avatar the next books will be about, but they haven’t previously had news at comic cons so it’s not a sure deal.

👉 Mattel ATLA collector set

Mattel is releasing an Avatar: The Last Airbender collector set on the Barbie movie’s release date this Friday!

It will be available at the Mattel Creations booth, check out more info here.

👉 The Legacy of Yangchen exclusive edition

An exclusive edition of The Legacy of Yangchen is available at booth 1216!

That’s it as far as I know. It’s a pretty low-key SDCC this year across the industry due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. For Avatar, keep an eye out for potential publishing news and don’t have any expectations beyond that.

[i-am-extremely-mad]

I plan on posting more posts later, but I'll write one for now because a certain part of the fandom has started to piss me off again. First you come across some older m/akorra posts with the typical ship justifications as well as typically ignoring every interaction Korra had with Asami or worse, take the scene out of context, cut Asami out of the scene and make it all about m/akorra.

But as misfortune never comes alone, then I came across completely new m/akorra blogs and posts, which one would easily think were from December 19, 2014 because the arguments have not changed in more than 8 years and worst of all, m/akorra shippers just can't stop themselves from trashing Asami. But what has become popular in m/akorra circles is to now edit scenes from TLOK comics and make them be all about m/akorra.

Because for them all this is just shipping wars and preferences. Open LGBTQ representation in an animated show? Two women openly started a romantic relationship? Make it possible for LGBTQ representation to be even more open in other animated shows? Who cares! Only my mlw ship number 756484645 matters!

And when I say that they trashing Asami is disgusting, that includes imagining extreme violence against her:

"It wasn't about her AT ALL- but the difference is that I can actually beat the sh*t out of her dragging her by her scalp with my bare hands until she goes bald" and trashing Asami in tags:"#stop bringing up mako's only past mistake" in tags, oh also calling her a war profiteer and how she is an evil capitalist who stole Korra from Mako.

But I also discovered to my shock that in the Wednesday fandom some fans totally ship Wednesday with T/yler. It seems that in every medium where there is a popular wlw ship there is bound to be a boring mlw ship as well, no matter how forced that straight ship is or without any chemistry or worse overtly abusive... TLOK, RWBY, Supergirl, The 100, the list goes on...

[pinkmirth]

no bc i’ve been rewatching tlok and i just…korra’s such a little shit? at least in s1. when she says to mako, “yeah, but when you’re with her, you’re thinking about me, aren’t you?”, i scream every time!!! imagine her saying that to reader who’s seeing mako? 👀

korra has me in the meanest headlock & i don’t even wanna leave! she’s like a (much) hotter version of sokka lol! honestly speaking, i’ve yet to actually watch tlok, so i’m not familiar with many scenes (apart from the millions of edits that i’ve seen about the show on tiktok >.<) i’m currently binging atla (almost done with book 2!) & i’m gonna head over to run through the legend of korra once i’m done with aang’s story! but omg, if that girl told me what she told him . . . i would be the biggest mess. she’d read me like a fucking paperback book because it’s truueeee, i want her and badly!
