First, there are things more intimate than kisses. I think the best about Kara and Lena is how real everything looks and how it’s possible to relate to them. Let’s remember that as far as we know that none of them had a relationship with another woman who was so intimate (I know couples who are not intimate as they are). Everything is new to them and you can see it. Every look, every smile, every dialogue and every hesitation (like Kara almost kissing Lena’s time). This is beautiful. Why? Because it goes beyond kisses or “I made your breakfast” or something like that. The feeling they share is more than that. Making a parallel here with Korrasami, who also began softly, calmly, with both in a process of discovery that in the end led both to accept and to assume the feeling that they felt for each other; Supercorp also started calmly, and both are in a process of discovery. Especially Lena, who despite wanting to leave the past of the family behind, is able to see herself following in their footsteps. And just like Korra and Asami, Lena and Kara are always present when one needs, being understanding and caring. They complete each other They are soulmates, and I say this without necessarily going to the romantic side.
(see no difference)
I really want them to end like Korrasami
And look at dear friends from this wonderful ship that is Supercorp, if Korrasami who was from a “kid’s show” of Nickelodeon, where everyone doubted and laughed when the shippers said it would be end game, in fact became the end game. Why we cant?
avatar korra really upgraded from a fuckboy like mako who doesn’t even eat pussy to a billionaire babe with a heart of gold like asami sato….what an icon
The whole ordeal over Korra not being able to Airbend until much later gives me a lot more emotions than I thought it would.
Airbending basically demands freedom. The ability to no longer feel constrained, and move without limitations.
Tenzin says in Book 1 that the Avatar’s most difficult element to learn is the one opposite to their personality. For Aang it was Earthbending, and for Korra it was Airbending.
I think this is mainly because Korra was immediately trained to be the Avatar, whereas Aang was at least given a chance to be normal. He even earned his tattoos before he was informed of this huge responsibility. He was allowed to be free, which is why Earthbending was such a struggle for him: he had to be grounded (lol) for once.
For better or worse (perhaps more the latter), Korra was told the “good” news when she was only a baby.
There was a post I saw on Tumblr a while ago, which said that A:TLA is about a human learning to be the Avatar. And TLOK is about the Avatar learning to be human. This is definitely the case. While I won’t compare the two Avatars, Korra went through so much shit when she was a teenager, up until she was in her twenties, and I do think this stems from the fact she was brought up as this weapon, not really as a normal person.
Not to mention the only real friend she had was Naga, until she followed Tenzin to Republic City. I mean, this kid has lived her life under protection, with barely anybody to socialise with, and has had it rammed into her head that she is the Avatar from a frighteningly early age. She has been disciplined harshly, been trained thoroughly, and has had many limitations set on her. It’s no surprise Airbending (the ability to be free) is so foreign to her.
To say Korra is the worst Avatar makes no sense to me. I think it’s pretty fucking remarkable she survived, mentally especially, after everything that has been thrusted at her. It gives the ending of Book 3 a much sweeter note. Korra walks into another world, another life, holding onto a girl who has never once shown her limits. Who literally makes her free.
raedmagdon: threehoursfromtroy: I love how genuinely concerned Asami is for her friends. While her life is falling apart around her. She’s just such a good person oh my gosh! Asami is my role model. No, seriously. Not only is she a smart, successful engineer and businesswoman, but she’s remained soft in situations where so many […]
