>Korra doesn't exactly come of as a "snack" person actually. Usually we see her eat full meals. The only time she had a snack was the cotton candy.

And even that was just an excuse to be cutesy with Mako.

Guess she'll be snacking a lot more often.

Watching RWBY's S3 from the beginning, I realized a tournament is the best plot device to show the power rankings between characters who would still be on the protag's side.

Regardless of the contestant pool, the main characters will inevitably square off, and the tourney is a great way to show off underutilized and overlooked skills.

If plot armor is acceptable, then balls to the wall, no holds barred (the original term for "mixed martial arts") is fine, so for Avatar's case all the bending and weapons, regardless of how lethal they are, will be fine to allow.

If you want to play the trope straight, a non-bending, barehanded tournament would make actual sense. Some argue that even so far as a non-striking tourney would be more realistic, as any concussive sport allowing damaged fighters to fight more than one fight a night is known to be dangerous.

Regardless, if you want the most drama to ensue, Asami and Korra would end up in the finals. Bla bla blah, scissoring, 69, Winner.

>>1934716
I'd also be interested in the keks to be had in the earlier rounds. Who eliminates Mako? Himself? Will the Beifong twins pull a switcheroo? Will Kuvira be cockblocked fro getting to eliminate Suyin? Will Varrick try to buy off the entire roster to ensure Nuktuk wins?

>Regardless, if you want the most drama to ensue, Asami and Korra would end up in the finals. Bla bla blah, scissoring, 69, Winner.

For the purposes of this scenario, I'm saying no one knows about Korrasami until the match begins and it becomes obvious when they give each other a good luck kiss.

The reveal can be used whenever the author sees fit. Could be all the way in the beginning to set the tone, sometime in the middle, just before the final, during the final, or right at the end.

A nice scenario could be after Korra beats Asami through the power of shonen relativity timespace, wherein Korra learns all that is needed to beat her vastly superior and untouchable girlfriend through the power of heart and friendship and yelling, all in the span of a 5 minute fight.

The yelling isn't the nice part, instead it's Asami accepting her loss, in a contest that should have been hers from the very start, in such a endearingly dignified manner that Korra cannot help but get googly moogly eyed.

Yotsuba-teary eyes would ensue and Korra cannot contain her lesbian lust for lip locking. Cue MGSV memes from the audience.

I'm glad SOMEONE is thinking of the children for once.

As somebody who just finished watching LoK last night, did I miss something or was the extent of the /u/ material literally confined to the last 10 seconds of the show?

Like, I watched all 4 seasons with yuri goggles on, but until the very last scene there was literally nothing /u/ in the show at all? To the extent that the last 10 seconds seemed rather out of character?

It's consensual that most everyone up to the minute was hopeful that Korra would end up forever arone instead of ending up with Mako again, which would not inherently have been so terrible were it not for the precedent and the implications of future Bryke exacerbation.

People forget that /co/ both unironically and jocularly shipped Korrasami hard from S3 until the actual blushing waaaaaaay the fuck later in S4E7, literally in the second half of S4. The homophobia wasn't the cool thing to do for the cool kids in cool school until the very end, further flamed by Bryan's and Mike's separate confirmations, on tumblr.

True, but we still all saw the signs/subtext, unlike >>1936352, who I cannot tell if genuinely a dunce or just trolling so close to the anniversary.

Also, in case the mods are still asleep, have some more lewd handholding + blushing

>>1936410
I admit, I was also personally was thinking they'd go full-on Makorra, simply because that's how things usually go. If anything, I was getting hella annoyed with all the 'gay baiting' they were doing, since it'd make the eventual Korra Mako kiss at the end so much more of an asspull.

Then the ending happened and I was basically audible to dogs for a good few minutes. Bloody tasteful too, which I REALLY wasn't expecting.

I still want to see them kiss eventually, though, maybe in the comics. And I mean I want them to suck face, like they were trying to absorb each others' nutrients. I want each of them to stick their tongues down each others' mouths like they were mining for gold. I want the two of them to French so hard the fucking Germans invade.

Not trolling. I literally picked it up the show solely because I knew from /u/ that it had a canon /u/ ending, but it wasn't until >>1936359 that I picked up on *anything* & iirc that was very close to the end of the show. I guess I was simply disappointed that a show I thought would have /u/ elements throughout ended up only introducing it toward the very end & IMO not developing it anywhere near enough to have the show end with them together.

The entirety of S3 and parts of the decimated S4 were enough to warrant a handhold and gazing into each other's eyes.

>>1936418
Sorry, onee-chan, but I'm a dude.

>>1936419
>I literally picked it up the show solely because I knew from /u/ that it had a canon /u/ ending
That's not a very good way of watching the show, I guess. Korra's tentative romance with Asami is a small part of the story, as you now know.

Still, there is stuff before that. From the beginning of season three they start spending a lot of time together and are rather impressed with each other. Asami in particular becomes very supportive and protective of Korra, culminating in the season finale where she's nursing Korra, which is the moment people started to seriously consider the possibility of Korrasami happening. At the beginning of season four, you have Asami pining for Korra and Korra showing that she might respond to Asami's feelings with the stuff surrounding her single letter.

>>1936419
Wow. Going into it knowing the endgame and still not picking up ANY clues until Reunion? That's kinda sad, neechan.

>not developing it anywhere near enough to have the show end with them together.
Even here on /u/ we'll agree that there wasn't quite enough, but we're also cognizant of the fact that Bryke's hands were tied, and more really wasn't possible for them. So pissing on them for that is only worth eyerolls here. Pissing on them for other numerous failings? Go for it. Also, while technically together, you do realize it's literally a relationship that just started, right? I mean they're u-hauling like a couple of lesbians by going on vacation for a first date, but still.

And I'm glad you and yours don't even attempt to visit /co/'s LoK threads anymore, because Raava knows how much worse they'd be with you harpies screeching in them.

As I point out on /co/ from time to time, I also find it highly suspect to think that a straight girl would volunteer to move out of her palace of a mansion, run her lucrative business long distance, and live at the South Pole for the forseeable future purely to look after her invalid best friend and keep her company while she recovers.

As annoyingly as he phrased it, Bryan was right. Hetero-goggles are probably the main reason most nonKorrasamians didn't see anything. (The rest of the nonKorrasamians are salty Makorrafags who stabbed their eyes out after Book 2.)

>>1936508
I think the moment I first twigged was "somebody order a fully equipped Future Industries airship?" That posing. That flirty tone. Bumi being quicker on the uptake than me. I mean I thought the whole driving lesson was pretty gay, but this? The beginnings of Thirsty Asami. This was a girl on a mission.

>>1936497
I keep forgetting whether Asami was the one who commissioned the giant Korra statue or not.

>>1936489
Straight girls do hold hands and offer support to their friends when they're in need.
Now offering to abandon their business is something that straight girls wouldn't do, but it happened in episode 4.

>>1936551
>episode 4
Goddammit, I meant "season 4".

In honor of the memorial, what would have happened if mako was a girl? would no board have been safe as /co/ would still hate the show and /u/ would be perpetually consumed by shipping arguments?

>>1936547
I think it's in the art books or bts that said Asami was involved in the creation of the park. To what extent, and who decided on the statue, is up in the air as far as I know. But considering her thirst, the strings she can pull as CEO and lead developer of the entire city's infrastructure (apparently), and that scene of her being miserably alone at the same park...it all seems to imply a few things, don't it?

>>1936551
>Straight girls do hold hands and offer support to their friends when they're in need.
True. But the delivery of those lines...

>offering to abandon their business is something that straight girls wouldn't do
Totally. Hell, some actually married spouses won't do that.

>>1936562
Well Makorra would be marginally better, if only because lesbians make everything better. It'd still be horrible though. And one of the most annoying things about Mako is his cynical character creation, so if you drop one of the main things he was specifically engineered as to be most appealing, his gender, that part of the annoyance factor also goes down? Again, still a bad character (until Book 3) but slightly more palatable?

Actually Mako being a girl may just make him universally hated, because if people shit on Korra - main character, most popular - for doing the right thing, they'd be all over girl!Mako always making shitty decisions. I'm half-convinced the amount of Asami-haters is so low because she's practically a saint, and you can't really unload on her without sounding like a completely unreasonable git.

I'm a grill. Hang around straight girls, have had straight girl friends all my life. Nah handholding ain't really some regular shit. Real close hugs, hands around the shoulder, hell maybe a kiss on the cheeks if it's a culture thing but not so much handholding.

I remember once meeting a girl and we were handholding after some joke thing and I thought "oh nah lol this is just a straight girl joke" but nope even she was gay and just into me. I once held a girls hand while both drunk and she thought I was insulting her ("I CAN WALK BY MYSELF") and then I just joked that "nah I want to hold your hand cause you're cute" and that was like the smoothest line in my drunk mind.

Point is hand holding is some intimate shit. The only time I've ever felt it platonic is like from my parents and grandma or like a child crossing the street.

You do see it played up more in tv/cartoons as platonic but even then it's still some heavy hinted/implied shit. I know if I saw bolin doing that hand hold I'd think "whaa they're gonna make him have feelings for her again?!". I saw asami do it and thought "awe bs tho they're just teasing shippers now. it's not gonna happen but thanks for that image"

I'd enjoy the triangle love story a lot more if mako was a girl. But he'd get more shit than anything for all his bad shit being a girl.

As another grill, I sorta concur. It happens, but it's not the norm. Never did it while walking (das gay) but I have had straight girls hold my hand when sitting on the couch, cuddling, etc, both with girls who knew I was out and who didn't. Now arm-linking while walking? Seems almost exclusively platonic, unless paired with handholding and head-leaning-on-shoulder/heads-leaning-together.

>I once held a girls hand while both drunk and she thought I was insulting her ("I CAN WALK BY MYSELF") and then I just joked that "nah I want to hold your hand cause you're cute"
Ngl, that's cute af. I wish I could think of any lines when I'm drunk. I just laugh a lot.

>>1936572
There's a difference between a full-blown hand holding session, where two people are actively involved, and putting your hand on someone else's in a comforting gesture. Yes, shoulder hugs are more commonly used for comforting, but hand holding isn't something out of the ordinary when we're talking about providing support.
I've seen it happen quite a few times. Coincidentally, most of those I saw during my stay in hospital, where comforting sick/injured friends or relatives is a thing that occurs on a daily basis.

>>1936599
It isn't just the fact that Asami holds Korra's hand, but how it's presented. If you wanted to make it look platonic, you wouldn't use a close-up of their hands or give Asami those lines, delivered like that.

>>1936602
Maybe I'm just an autist, but I really didn't see anything out of the ordinary back when I first saw that episode. Those were all the things I would've done and said to my best friends if they were gravely injured.
Now, with the knowledge of what happened next, it is kinda hard to see it's as platonic. But it's a retroactive thing for me, never throughout the whole third season when it was airing had I ever thought "wow, that's gay".

>>1936604
Someone actually broke down that scene explaining how not-platonic it was - starting with the opening close-up on Asami's lips - but damned if I can remember which tumblerina did that.

>>1936609
...Eh. Someone's explanations are of little value to me, unless that someone was on the writing team that wrote the scene.
Grab a hardened hetfag and they'll explain how 100% absolutely platonic it was. "Hidden signs", "presentation" - what people take from it is mostly subjective and depends on what they were expecting initially/wanted to see. I'm not saying that there aren't some objective points that the presentation of certain scenes/events can make, but this isn't the case here.

>Like, I watched all 4 seasons with yuri goggles on, but until the very last scene there was literally nothing /u/ in the show at all? To the extent that the last 10 seconds seemed rather out of character?

I think you might need your yuri goggles checked. Even in season one, there were moments to justify shipping them of you had the goggles on. Most of us didn't realistically begin doing so until either the end of Book 3 or Book 4.

>>1936363
>Second round watching it was much easier to see coming, though it was still mostly pretty damn subtle

Like they admitted, they were just trying to hint that they were heading toward something in the future, because being obvious would have got Nick on their backs. A concern justified by Nick telling them to "proceed with caution" when they decided to ask for permission and had to bin whatever the original ending animatic was.

>>1936618
That's not a very good way of approaching fiction. The events themselves are only a part of how meaning is conveyed, and not the most interesting one. If you ignore everything having to do with presentation, you might as well just read episode summaries.

>this isn't the case here.
In general, close-ups of hands holding one another conveys a great deal of intimacy, physical and otherwise (in Sailor Moon S, Ikuhara makes Haruka and Michiru hold hands in a way that's essentially turns it into a sex scene). If you want to depict two people as platonic friends, you probably don't want to do it, especially if you've already given them some love interest moments like Asami watching over Korra as she's in the spirit world.

>>1936618
While it's true a lot of analysis is way overdone (spirit world frogs, anybody?) it doesn't mean you can't glean anything from it because it's not directly from the people involved. I mean if that's the case, then the scene in question is automatically gay as fuck, because Bryke have already confirmed that Korrasami is canon, and have been subtly laying the tracks since Book 3.

But like it's been mentioned already, if one of them had been a man, would you really have trouble reading ANY romantic leanings? A lot of people who don't see any romantic Korrasami early on keep leaning so hard on "friends totally do that too" seemingly ignoring the fact that that kind of behavior is not exclusive to platonic friendship. People falling in love/in love also do these things, so take a step back and think "why was I so hellbent on reading this scene platonically as opposed to romantically, when it's completely plausible for it to be both/either?"

Also, just because you didn't get it on the first go around (I'm assuming you've since rewatched?) doesn't mean the intent wasn't there. I missed a couple of cues myself, and only seeing things upon retrospect doesn't negate the development. In fact that's an excellent, subtle, tool to use in storytelling, and something Bryke is usually horrible at doing, especially in regards to romantic relationships.

...I feel as if I've gone off the point somewhere.

Wait, so none of these mements warranted note, even though you were looking for the /u/? Asami looking like she was going to die when Korra chose to give herself up to Zaheer (while Mako and Bolin were being retards). Asami taking care of Korra and promising that she's there for her "if she ever wants to tak... or anything"? Asami wanting to just up and leave her home and follow Korra to the Southern Water Tribe? Korra only trusting Asami to write back to with her fears? Korra choosing to return to Republic City right after she talks with Asami "to be where her friends are"?

I don't want to be mean. It's a huge cast of characters, so you could easily miss small moments like this, but weren't you actively looking for yuri?

Girl Mako would, as you say, be slightly less irritating simply because the cynicism of his creation would have been lessened (at least in one manner). Still think Future Industries flamethrower Mako is best Mako.

>I'm half-convinced the amount of Asami-haters is so low because she's practically a saint, and you can't really unload on her without sounding like a completely unreasonable git.

She's not a saint; she just comes across as one compared to her friends. Even then, she fucks up too. Reigniting Makorra in Book 2? Sweet Raava H. Vaatu, no.

I'm going to write Ginger Sato fanfiction and you can't stop me. How does that make you feel?

>>1936630
>ignore everything having to do with presentation
Not what I said.
I ignore other's explanations of what they took from the presentation, because ultimately, the only thing that matters is what I took from the presentation. I might have seen signs that others didn't see, or it might have been the other way around; either way, other people's interpretations hold no value for me, as they mostly rely on subjective things and/or on the mindset of the person describing them.

>>1936631
>automatically
Retroactively, yes. During the time the episode was aired, no. As I mentioned earlier, I'm talking about how I felt when I first saw the episode, which happened before the Korrasami was announced canon.

>would you really have trouble reading ANY romantic leanings?
Yes. I'm naive like that, I believe in true friendship and generally prefer it to romance, since romance often means forced drama. Thanks, popular media.

>seemingly ignoring the fact that that kind of behavior is not exclusive to platonic friendship
Just like it's not exclusive to romantic love, either. It's kind of in the middle, and as I said before, what you take from the scene depends on what you expect or want to see. I expected them to lay off the romantic subplots for a while, since first two season were butchered because of them, and I got what I wanted - a nice season that focused on Avatar stuff and not on oh-who-am-I-going-to-go-out-with-this-week. So all romantic undertones went completely unnoticed by me, and I'm absolutely fine with that.

>doesn't mean the intent wasn't there
Whether or not there was intent isn't the point of this discussion, however. It's about how people treat certain scenes regardless of their creators' intent (that was only made clear a whole season after the hand holding happened).

Goddammit, notmoot, stop screwing up posting for me.

>>1936630
>In general, close-ups of hands holding one another conveys a great deal of intimacy, physical and otherwise

Listen to the Book One commentaries. Bryan goes into detail about how meticulously arranges and directs handholding and contact scenes (in reference to Masami at the time). He explains that things like that don't happen by accident in animation.

When Asami grabbed Korra's hand at the end of the third season, and the camera lingered on it, there were Kill Bill sirens blaring in my head.

>>1936654
>I'm going to write Ginger Sato fanfiction and you can't stop me. How does that make you feel?

Like >>1936635 said, anon went in with knowledge of endgame, even watched the series because there was /u/. So yeah, you gotta be kind of an idiot or autistic to miss the subtext when you were looking for it in the first place.

Also, this is the fucking internet, on fucking 4chan. Of course I'm going to to be a little shit. Honestly almost everything I write here is tinged with tongue-in-cheek humor. Did you just come from tumblr or something? (Btw I wrote that in jest, the intent of which to note the ever growing presence of anons on 4chan complaining of nonPCness of this board. Also I don't really think anon is autistic, that is again said in jest, as it is a common joke on 4chan. We all clear?)

>>1936654
That you should do it about Korra instead. Not enough stuff in that genre that deals in what this board deals with.

Yeah, but even then there's a lot to "explain" her behavior so she doesn't come off like a douche, unlike a few other people. I mean, her worst offense is making a poor romantic decision at one of her lowest points? Still pretty saintly.

I think it's obvious that Asami was deep into Korra. A criticism I'd acknowledge would be that Korra's reciprocation wasn't as well realised (because PTSD arc). Dismissing it out of hand "because that's what girls do lol" is being facetious.

>>1936656
>ultimately, the only thing that matters is what I took from the presentation
But why can't you talk about the presentation with other people, evaluate their arguments and possibly incorporate that into how you read the scene when looking at it closer? It's not like we're talking about a personal mystical experience. Competent directors don't just stage scenes based on whims. There are, if not exactly rules, at least guidelines and precedents to it.

>>1936667
>Old-school jazz
Speak for yourself grandma.

>>1936664
Not enough bimbo stuff that deals solely in the bimbo being hungry for puss puss.
Besides Asami being corrupted isn't quite as interesting to watch/read as compared to Korra.

>>1936668

Ovari deep?

>>1936671

>>1936419
>I literally picked it up the show solely because I knew from /u/ that it had a canon /u/ ending

We have always warned against doing this, since way back since last December. If you're only watching this show for the romance, you're watching it for the wrong reasons. The first season's romance is absolutely horrid. The second season's is a deconstruction of the first, which is admirable, but not fun to watch. The third and fourth decided to go the subtle route, because the writers realised that romance should be at most a background noise in the legend of Korra the avatar.

>>1936674
It doesn't have to be, I just feel that Korra would be better especially if she realizes and then accepts her new state in life.

>>1936676
>legend of Korra the avatar

>>1936648
Actually, I've been wondering why Asami's so likable. She's brilliant, rich and beautiful, a good fighter, the most reasonable person around and always does the right thing, even when no one could have blamed her for joining the Equalists after Mako's antics. Aren't almost perfect people supposed to be boring and unlikable?

>>1936682
>even when no one could have blamed her for joining the Equalists after Mako's antics.

>>1936669
>But why can't you talk about the presentation with other people, evaluate their arguments and possibly incorporate that into how you read the scene when looking at it closer?
I can. I just don't want to. As I said, it's subjective, and I don't particularly care about what people think of X scene and how they interpret that, unless I'm specifically interested in discussing that scene. Then yes, I would read other people's interpretations, but only for the sake of discussion.
Besides, this discussion started with how people read the scene when they first saw it.

> It's not like we're talking about a personal mystical experience.
Not mystical, of course, but it is personal. People familiar with "guidelines and precedents" will automatically compare what they see with their pre-existing knowledge, and will interpret it based on that knowledge while still having some personal feeling about it. People unfamiliar with aforementioned guidelines will only rely on their subjective feelings and opinions. Different people with different personal experience and knowledge may have completely opposite interpretations of the same scene.

What you're talking about is a logical analysis that happens after you watched something and then dissected it. What I'm talking about is the impression one gets during the process of watching. While both can happen at the same time (especially if the person is well-studied in the field of cinematography and knows how presentation carries intent), usually the first impression is separate from a logical conclusion.

Don't forget that this is a counterfeit chinese cartoon, and people are used to certain conventions. Real chinese cartoons often fetishize girl/girl relationships, showing having a level of physical and emotional intimacy often not found outside of partners in the real world.

I'm not surprised that some viewers had presumed a platonic pretext. But, like has been said, replace either character with a man, or have two women play out their relationship in live action, and watch the denialism evaporate.

Asami isn't really the touchy feely handholdy type with anyone else she's not romantically involved in anyway. Korra is, but Asami is not. Rather than lean on what "girls" are supposed to do, maybe look at the characters as individuals.

Good point. Korra (and Bolin) and the ones physical intimate with friends. Asami (and Mako) restrict that to romantic relationships. Except when they're both falling for Korra; whether it be the loathsome "Give her some space guise, jeez!" or Asami's taking care of Korra, both of them were in full Water Fever mode, and the normal rules of engagement were suspended.

Counterpoint: Asami is probably the smartest and most put together of the main and supporting cast so her becoming a bimbo works better from a psychological angle.

It would probably have turned /co/ off the show immediately, for better or worse.

Mako would've still been a pretty shitty girlfriend and Asami and Korra being exclusively lesbian rather than bisexual would've put canon Korrasami on the table immediately.

If we're changing things, I still prefer Asami nearly hitting Korra with her bike in Episode 1, a four-season buildup to Korrasami, and Mako not being a love interest at all.

I think there could've been some good stuff if Mako and Bolin weren't athletes but criminals who turned their lives around because of Korra. They could have noir-style detective subplots with Lin from time to time, it'd be nice.

>what's the best fanfic you read of korrasami

You're going to have to be specific. Do you mean a fanfic centred on Korrasami, or one that happens to have Korrasami? Does it have to be complete? Can it be ongoing? Abandoned.

LoK /u/'s unofficial fic is Between the Wheels: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3219722/chapters/7007882
It's ongoing, but it's not strictly a Korrasami story. It's about Asami's role during the timeskip.

Personal fave is The Nights: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3206633/chapters/6974375

Some more (be warned, one of these might be me trolling):
Who Rebuilds The Builder (short one-off, read it): http://archiveofourown.org/works/3212162

Aftermath (post finale continuation; very good, not entirely focused on Korrasami) http://archiveofourown.org/works/3147311/chapters/6827465

A Second Glance: (retelling of the series with Korrasami happening earlier, very readable, but very triggering): http://archiveofourown.org/series/193646

Two nights with the lion of desolation (because if I didn't recommend it, someone else would): http://archiveofourown.org/works/3197009

The Avatar's Non-Bending Master (infuriatingly, written in the present tense, and also filled with SJW rhetoric, but has some of the best chemistry I've seen between Korra and Asami): http://archiveofourown.org/works/2887367/chapters/6528749

In the World: (roughly a billion pages long, and with a bizarre premise, is way better than it should be): http://archiveofourown.org/works/3330158/chapters/7280936

What if Babies Come From the Spirit World? (retarded story for retards; a must read): http://archiveofourown.org/works/3117590/chapters/6755315

The Avatar and the CEO (glorious tale of the sapphire-eyed water tribe girl and the perfect jade eyed heiress): https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10916774/1/The-Avatar-and-the-CEO

I'd suggest following the advice here >>1936911 and having a a look at the pastebin. You'll even find some trigger warnings in there.

But that's unreasonably interesting. It ruins the shaggy dog, poor orphan boy story that was necessary to counter Mako's overall abrasiveness. Plus it would reinforce the idea that benders have a natural advantage over nonbenders by showing the brothers escape the mob's chain in a way no nonbenders could have.

It also abandons the "Asami hits Mako with her Vespa" schtick that was obviously a holdover from when Asami was planned to be a spy. Which would mean the contrived coincidence - Hiroshi's daughter just happening to bump into a probender - caused by the rewrite, would be removed. Can't have that.

Yikes, I can't maintain this sarcasm. I just feel disappointed with how Book 1 could have been turned into something amazing so easily. All the ingredients were there, and Bryke chose to serve up contrived porridge.

I feel like this one had been ruined by the amount of kinky sex author decided to add.
With the first two "books", it wasn't that difficult to imagine that something like that might have happened off-screen. Then suddenly it's book 3 and Korra and Asami are fucking in every room on the airship. Kind of ruins the immersion.

I understand that. I think there's author appeal involved. I imagine the author had those sex scenes in mind from before they even began writing.

The irony is those scenes feel less intimate and important than describing a kiss or holding hands. Maybe I'm just an old prude, but if the scene accomplishes nothing beyond the pornographic, it's okay to fade to black.

When the author's Book 1 had the two of them touching each other before the counterattack leading to the finale I was smiling so hard. But like you said, not feeling much of anything with all the rampant sex here and there in the Book 3 "behind the scenes."

Oh, THAT one. I couldn't bear to read it. Not after /u/'s description.

Thing is, I do understand that there are people that enjoy horrible, horrible fics (just like movies). I get the appeal of unintentional comedy and cringe. What I find more disappointing are mediocre fics; whether they be bursting with uncreative prose, insipid dialogue, wish-fulfilment, fanon; these are the ones that can't even be enjoyed ironically.

Plus they usually take a few hundred more words to suss out than plain dross.

I feel you, sis.
What is even more disappointing are fics that started out good but then rapidly got worse. You can usually see that the author is a newbie, tends to use purple prose a lot or exaggerates things in the first couple of chapters. What worse is when the author just loses their way after writing for a while. Or misjudges the reason why people find their fic good; that's how a lot of authors accidentally ruing the atmosphere/feel of the setting, like the aforementioned "Second Glance".

Yes, the author has a great idea and is propelled by this momentum to begin what seems like a potentially fine story. And then the momentum fizzles out.

>What worse is when the author just loses their way after writing for a while.

Or this. They don't plan their story ahead, or write themselves into a corner. It'll happen to most people starting out.

>Or misjudges the reason why people find their fic good; that's how a lot of authors accidentally ruing the atmosphere/feel of the setting, like the aforementioned "Second Glance".

I'll defend it despite it bordering on this type of fic. Like I said, I think the porn is purely for the author's benefit. Second, if there was ever a time to indulge in gratuitous shit like that, it was during the airship tour of the EK, so at least it was placed in the right part of the story.

Now, I'll immediately bitch about how the story has fanon Asami up the ass, and pointlessly de-aged Korra, making Asami seem even more school marmish. Plus, it has more triggers than LoK /u/'s gun collection.

I still need to read its Book Four to give a full opinion.

But here's the thing, the whole premise of the story was that it supposedly described the events that occurred off-screen and/or in-between episodes. And up until Book 3, you could, with some voluntarily suspension of your disbelief, pretend that it really happened. But then something happens that no voluntarily suspension of disbelief is going to withstand, and you find yourself halfway through the fic, too far gone to just drop it but no longer immersed in the story. At least, that's what happened to me.
I understand what the author was trying to do, I just wish they didn't do it.

Speaking of, I also remember a fic with a similar premise that had a sudden magic impregnation at the end of Book 3. Now that one I never regretted dropping.

>>1937215
>But here's the thing, the whole premise of the story was that it supposedly described the events that occurred off-screen and/or in-between episodes.

I was thinking of that, and wondering if the author would have written scene after scene of Makorra fucking if they had decided to cover the six month gap.

>At least, that's what happened to me.
I understand what the author was trying to do, I just wish they didn't do it.

Perhaps it was based on personal experience, perhaps that really is their interpretation of the canon. Perhaps they think stuff like this did happen in canon but was hidden behind the Y7 rating? Because the teen cast in this have sex like you'd imagine modern teens might; not like you'd imagine Korra and Asami would.

From south america, we hug, hold hands, and kiss friends on cheek when saluting or saying goodbye, even male friends. And even between males they do it as well (though a strong hug is more accepted between them). I didnt see shit.

However THIS scene was the "wait a minute" scene for me as well. Not because of the hand holding, but because of the special frame and seconds the hold took. When a director does this kind of stuff it always means it is or will be important to the story.

As mentioned here >>1936657 Bryan has gone into detail about how carefully he frames moments like this. We're clearly meant to notice the increased physical intimacy. After that point at the end of Book 3, moments where they touch - beyond the Reunion hug - become casual enough that they don't warrant special framing.

Like Korra helping Asami onto the train, or across the carriages. Or leaping from the rain, and even the big gay hug.

Or look at this moment. Rather than mirroring Asami's hand position - left hand grasping the cup, right hand flat and supporting it (which is how you're meant to take it) - Korra clasps both her hands around Asami's to take the tea.

Go try that with someone and see how they react. It's a more intimate gesture than you'd think. But it's treated as completely natural between them, and not worth the special focus it had been a season before.

Really if you replace any harem lead with a lesbian you're doing the world a service. Tenfold if she's a charismatic, sexually active woman any sane human being can get behind. All of our shekels if she can pull off a believably loving relationship with all of them in their own ways.

>The pastebin up top has all of /u/'s preferred fics
I literally mashed as many LoK related links together, and with the help of some helpful anons, spruced the mishmash up a bit.

There is no QC other than what could be had with Ctrl + F and Commonsense.exe, a program lauded by /g/ in the brief intermissions when they don't have their head up their ass.

All I could do you-all for was to open the Entire Work page for AO3 links and look for "Heiress," I'm "CEO" triggers. No con-textual filters could be constructed - such as cliches and metastory trends - as that would require actual effort.

I'm currently at Traditions in the URL numerically ordered queue, going from top to bottom.

It doesn't help that those scene also develope Suki more than her interactions with Sokka did. You ever seen Sokka and her have a conversation like she has with Zuko?

>>1938330
Aww, how cute. They look so happy.
That means the comic will end with the attack of the Red Lotus.

Sokka and Suki almost exclusively interacted in more physical ways.

>>1938383

Holy shit, I didn't even think about that!

Imagine, everything's cute and fun. And then Korra hears that Chief Sokka, Lord Zuko and Master Tenzin are all visiting to see the new Avatar. The last page is Sokka being introduced to Korra and mentioning that he only has five days left until retirement.

>>1938208
Who's "we"? I never took Zuko's obviously idealized memories of the only person aside from Iroh who was ever nice to him at face value. Azula's opinions of her mom's parenting skills were quite different, as you'll recall.

I forget. When is the anniversary, neechans?

>>1938420
If you have one psychotic, actively abusive parent, odds are you're going to idealise the other one, even if they were shitty by most standards.

>>1938423
>If you have one psychotic, actively abusive parent, odds are you're going to idealise the other one, even if they were shitty by most standards.
Wow... If Ozai is the lesser of two evils to Azula, just how bad was Ursa?

>>1938428
Ursa disapproved of Azula's shitty behavior. I think that's enough to get on Azula's shit list.

>>1938373
I don't have a problem with the other artist, I just like Makani's art and share her love for Lin.

>>1938432
>Ursa disapproved of Azula's shitty behavior
Anon pls, we all know the real reason was because Ursa wouldn't succumb to Azula's advances.

>>1938441
>Implying that isn't why she was jealous of Zuzu

>>1938485
Zuzu would have to be lucky outside of being Ursa's favorite.
Everyone knows he's not domineering enough unlike little Azula.

Yeah, they were pretty much what we think Makorra was but with less fighting....yet.

>they were pretty much what we think Makorra was but with less fighting

Actually, yeah. Except Sokka and Suki weren't presented as the greatest love story ever told(TM); just as a pair of horny teens that liked each other and had a common goal. I'd actually be annoyed if it turned out they'd stayed together. Same with Zuko and Mai, but at least the latter has valid political reasons to happen in addition to the teenage crush.

>>1938562
>I'd actually be annoyed if it turned out they'd stayed together.
I doubt it. I can't see Suki settling down with Sokka once he becomes Chief of the South and he has no kids if we discount Suyin that is so it's safe to say they won't stay together.

>Same with Zuko and Mai, but at least the latter has valid political reasons to happen in addition to the teenage crush.
Zuko has actually all the rights to have Mai's ass in chains because she's covering her father's ass even against her new boyfriend's wishes and I want to add that said father wanted to have the Fire Lord and his family assassinated. So no actually there is no political margin here.

>Written by Michael

Shit, I can't remember if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

>>1938586
A good thing. At least he know how to write the character. Stop confusing him with Bryan.

>>1938586
He wrote Book 1 along with Bryan. And they wrote the Book 2 finale. And they wrote the Book 4 finale.

At least Makani is doing the art, though she's better suited for old Lin and her adventures in menopause.

>>1938620
Yeah, ignore Book 3 and also Bryan did write shit in the Book 4 finale. That was Mike and Tim Hedrick, at least check the episodes before you post shit.

Eventually, it became a good thing. Especially once they had a handle on Korra's character. Mike wrote the Reunion and finale Korrasami scenes too, so that also bodes well enough for the main comic.

>>1938624
>also Bryan did write shit in the Book 4 finale.

He did say in commentary that "we worked hard on this" re: the finale Korra scenes. He had imput, but probably wasn't involved in putting pen to paper. More so the staging and direction.

>>1938645
"We" as in everyone more likely.

Actually, I think he said "Mike and I worked on it" about the Korra and Asami scene on the steps. It shouldn't be surprising that they both had a lot to do with it. It was the final scene of the last piece of TV they'll ever likely collaborate on so closely.

>>1938682
Now I'm really wondering how the canon version of the "coming back from the spirit world" scene will look like, and I don't count the promo shot.

The pair are talking about how to handle telling everybody that they're together as well as the fact that Asami is pregnant, and agree they should take their time. Then they have a spur of the moment kiss when they step into the portal, and reappear - liplocked - with the airbabies, Bolin and Mako waiting to pick them up on the other side. Many keks were had.

>>1938562
I think Mai and Zuko are the most realistic of all the AtLA couples to last. Zuko would more than likely have to marry a noble as Fire Lord, they actually have some shit in common besides trying to defeat Ozai and, even if they ended up not staying in love, they would just have affairs while staying married to keep up appearances.

Besides, Mai would probably end up being the real leader of the Fire Nation since Zuko is too emotional to be a good Fire Lord and would rather go on romantic adventures with his eromenos Aang.

>>1938747
>Zuko would more than likely have to marry a noble as Fire Lord
I doubt it. He's going to usher in a new era of the Fire Nation. So he could marry a commoner. Just think of the British royals.
