Uhh, they're just going to the Spirit World.
Nobody died.

This is just a vacation.

>>119054
Run into Iroh and Zaheer having tea. Korra is mellow but Asami gets a little on guard.

Korra's assurances and comforting tell more about their relationship before either say anything.

Hate to be that guy - but the colours really just make sense in that atmosphere.
Could be both situations lining up, tho

>Could be both situations lining up, tho
No shit.

>>119065
Could be I'm just used to people going out of their way and against design just to put in some dumb pokemon easter egg.

Now I wait for the last of the Walkers' Korra vlogs. Rob said last year that he wanted Korrasami, and now he got it.

>>119072
Its going to be a lengthy discussion. Doug has always been about not talking down to children and what they can handle in their media. It'll be interesting to see where he thinks things are going.

The vLog's up, and, yeah, most of it's about Asami and Korra getting together.
http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/korra-vlogs-the-final-episode-7131033

Summary? They're glad that they did it, though they wished that they were able to establish it more explicitly within the show beyond the hints scattered through the latter two seasons BUT they understand WHY they couldn't show more due to the network the show being produced on. If anything they seemed to think that Varrick and Zhu Li getting together was more forced.

Aside from that they seemed to dig both the finale and the show itself as a whole (despite the dicking around Nick did from season two onwards), and are glad that they managed to make some history with the first bi character in a western kid's show. :)

Now they're going to do vlogs on the Gravity Falls shorts and OTGW. Yay!

>>119080
I've seen some upset and say this didn't go far enough and that this wasn't real representation. But I think the majority get that at this moment this is as far as things could go and even then they toed the line. But then we look at all the press and its overwhelmingly positive towards this development.

Someone on leddit took 30 youtube reactions to The Scene and spliced them all together. I urgently recommend you turn your volume down to about 33% of your normal level

That's been the trademark of the Korrasami pretty much. Tons of Hugs and Cuddling and low on the porn.

The fundie christfags are really slow on the draw these days, but here's their opening salvo

Yknow, I should have laughed but man that literally 'holier than thou' attitude really sets me off.

>>119091
Few in the reddit are just laughing at the whole Conspiracy bit. Yep wanting to be treated like a person is such a conspiracy.

>>119080
OK that's kinda what I figured as much. Just wish they could've done more to establish Asami as an actual character with those three seasons they had though. That to me is probably my major issue with the pairing (aside from its godawful fanbase but you can just ignore those).

The Korrasami reddit is putting together an Abridged Series.

>>119111

Oh, that oughta be fun.

>>119112
They've gained a couple thousand people since the finale.

https://www.reddit.com/r/korrasami/comments/2qsi1m/important_announcement_its_official_we_rkorrasami/

Its an ambitious project. But if any part of the fan base could pull it off its the group that has gathered in that community.

>>119116
They're moving way too fast! You've got to wait till the honeymoon period of the relationship is over to make sure you still like each other once the sex gets less frequent and you've started to see one another's real flaws!

>>119123

Better now than several months after the show finished, I guess.

>>119125
>looks at picture

I... what?

>>119125
Ah yes, High School/College AU #17,945.

Makes me want to dig out my old 2nd Sino-Japanese War AU and fast-forward to the present day so I can drop Korra into modern Hong Kong. Y'know, for variety's sake.

>>119128
Sleeping Dogs Korrasami. Korra the Cop trying to find the balance. Asami the troubled industrialist trying to recover her families fortunes after recent crackdowns on private property and corporate rights.

I keep reading about how this ship in particular has helped a lot of people with things in their life, with its resolution being seen as a positive thing. Rather an interesting thing to read about.

>>119137

I’m not the least bit surprised. It’s amazing what some fair representation in the media can do for people, especially in media aimed towards younger audiences (which typically doesn’t press for diversity beyond race or gender/sex and often twists ‘diversity’ into pure tokenism).

>>119138
>It’s amazing what some fair representation in the media can do for people

People thirsty as fuck if they think this is good representation of a gay relationship. Just sayin'.
Watch some more movies, kids.

>>119139
>Watch some more movies, kids.
I can only think of one kids' movie made in America that had an openly homosexual couple in it—Paranorman. And even that was just a throwaway mention at the end of the movie, from a side character. Not a main character.

>>119139

Show me a movie aimed towards pre-teens with a higher-quality representation of gay people than Korra.

And yes I know you're going to say "Korra wasn't aimed towards pre-teens", but it still aired on Nick so yeah, it kinda was. And even then, non-"mature" Western animation—mainstream, "all ages", major-studio-made animation—hardly ever goes near the idea of showing a gay person, much less hinting at a gay relationship.

>>119141
Pretty much goes with Anime too establishing any type of girl/girl relationship as as school girl thing. Other than The Major is there any anime with an adult woman showing an interest a healthy interest in the same sex?

Heh whole bunch of comics about Korra seeing Asami without makeup, and thinking she's even more beautiful.

>>119145

I'm only aware of one by Sherbies from a million years ago, got any others?

>>119152

People already made enough Korra porn. Now is the time for romance and love.

Godfuckingdammit.

>>119161
Oh come on, Sage. Even you know there's an actual illustrative reason as to why those visual cues are used.

>>119162

No. No, I don’t. And even if there is, I would appreciate not seeing Tumblr Nose turned into such a prevalent trend across Tumblr. It honestly looks like people have a fucking clown fetish or some shit.

I do like one of the common ideas is Asami going with a necklace for Korra and Korra going for a ring with Asami. Each embracing a piece of the others culture.

Asami using a further miniaturized plasma cutter to carve her medallion for the necklace and Korra bending metals into the proper shape.

There are a few cringeworthy pieces of art in this compilation from the Wedding Day event but there's a lot of really good stuff here with a few quotes from fans at the end that illustrate how this pairing is important to them identity-wise

>>119169
Its the thing that I've found most interesting about all this. Its been a big support which covers the entire spectrum.

Butthurt still going strong.

>>119171

Still very salty. Also a differece between showing stuff for laughs and it being a serious relationship.

Fifth Element could blend well into the Avatar universe.

>claim its being ablest because Korra is in a wheelchair or some such shit

Of course, the same idiots would probably scream and yell about persecution if you pointed out how Korra was actually in a wheelchair during the Book Three finalé. Fuckin’ Social Revenge Warriors, man.

>>119196
It was apparently also pushed along by the salty Makorra fans who were wanting to "protect" Korra.

>>119196
>Fuckin’ Social Revenge Warriors, man.
The avatar fandom's always been screwy.

>>119084
Mako is the surrogate father for both of them in that picture.

>>119204
This image got into Time magazine.

Avatar is the Star Trek of children's cartoons.

PBS is "doing a thing" in their Idea Channel about LGBT representation and is asking for G to PG Korrasami stuff.

>>119222
Epic Spirit Tower. Does it have a story? Asami designed and Korra bended it into formation.

>>119222
Still giggle and grin like an idiot when it comes up. It was the freaking moon shot of longshots, they'd never do it they said. And then it happened.

>>119225


That's the tower Bolin and Korra went to on their date in Book 1

Gallery showing sold out before noon. Whole lotta Korrasami cosplay there as well. Ladies seem to really love having a canon pair to dress as.

Seeing a few other Korra and Asami about along with some Air Nomads in the flying suits.

>>119237
I'd really like to see some broaching the subject of where do things go from here. Not just with Legend of Korra and their relationship going forward (hopefully with comics) But also other expressions of this in media. Seems to be a big subject with Greg Weisman as he pushed for inclusion in Young Justice but was shot down and maybe Rebels before he left.

Be interesting to talk to him and ask if he thinks not only in Korra and Asami being allowed to be shown as a couple but also the strong support shown for them among the public.

>>119238
Why would anyone care? It's unlikely that Korra is the first gay avatar.

>>119239
Anon seems to be referring to real-world fallout, not in-character fallout.

>>119240
Less fallout more the schism between executives and those that produce content. One side willing and wanting the other being hesitant to take the next step.

Still fun the amount of salt that pops up on /co/ when someone makes a thread about this. So many that dedicated themselves to hating the show, and now it'll never be forgotten.

>>119242

Wait, are there actually people on 4chan who are legit internet-mad about this, still?

>>119243
/co/ has that strange hate of Korra on a few levels and it got boosted by the ending with that being the "pandering" that sets them off. Really mad that the show was wasted by that ending and those that are Makorra shippers get really mad since it looked like it was going to end with him getting a second chance before Korra went off to talk with Tenzin and then Asami.

There would have been a time where discussion would have been about Nick and how they messed up in not allowing them to end with a kiss given how others shows just did it (and even sung a song about being a couple) But that kinda discussion seemed to have gone to Tumblr and Reddit and left 4chan quite some time ago.

http://www.hypable.com/the-legend-of-korra-co-creators-split/

Wonder why this wasn't talked about sooner. Sad to see them go but it'll be interesting to see what they come up with going their separate paths.

>>119245
Yeah, ten years is a good run on a creative partnership, and they're splitting amicably. So it's not really THAT sad.

>>119246
Yea more attesting to them feeling burned out a bit. Which I hope is more towards where they were working and not on what. I'd just hate to see them ending up disliking the Avatar stuff as a whole.

>>119247
I'd highly doubt they'd ever do that, but I'm pretty excited to see whatever new IPs they'll go on to work with.

>>119248
Oh yes, maybe get a Netflix series going. And have MIR animate it since they'll be there anyway. Sometimes I wonder what would have changed with the show had Trigger said yes at the start of Legend of Korra production.

>>119249
Did Trigger even exist at the start of LoK production?

>>119250

At best, they were founded months after the production announcement was made. Work/talks on Korra started in 2010/11, Trigger started in 2011.

>>119251
And they were asked to do Book 2 onwards but they were busy with their production.

I just got the other thread's joke.
lol

good one, mod.

This board's done for, isn't it.

Well the franchise is over for the most part so...yeah

>>119255
Pretty much. I'm leaving it open because, now that the CP is stopped, it's not hurting anything. But it is on life support, and if large changes are ever afoot will likely get the axe unless new life is breathed into it.

Makes sense. Had its run time for bed.

>>119257
And there goes any reason to use plus4chan.

>>119259
Not like it updated that much. Well its over now and it'll be a while till the new shows by the creators come out. Now if people posted here grabs of those getting enraged or claiming "death of the author" as a reason to discredit Korrasami. Those are funny sad in that some are so enraged over the to still be mad. Course its part of that strange what some people did was snark to be trolling turned into what some people actually believe over on /co/

>>119260
Didn't Bryke break up?

>>119263
Right, they are pursuing their own shows now.

>>119291
Lead with what you have. Think we'll get some official wedding stuff outta this. Really set those in /co/ into a foaming fit.

https://instagram.com/p/4aUr-pRzd0/

bit of something from "Azula" about her pairing. HA! The amount of salt this adds to the mix is fantastic.

http://ravensbomb100.tumblr.com/post/124602348470/korra-proposes-to-asami-ft-the-voice-of-janet#notes

I'm going to make a new Avatar board and host it on my server or just make one on 8chan or something.

>>119318
If you wish, nothing is really going to happen anywhere till the comics get rolling.

http://ravensbomb100.tumblr.com/post/126777059204/korrasami-full-proposal-ft-the-voices-of-korra

So we've got a response from both now. Heh, best way for the comics to end when they do I think. Maybe have Iroh II aunts come around.

There's a chain of threads spanning well before the actual finale at 4ch/u/ if any of you fine people haven't checked it out yet.

>>119323

I've never heard of 4ch/u/. Link?

>>119324
4chan's /u/ board, dude!

>>119325
>>119326

I can't even claim sarcasm. I know /u/ exists, but I thought anon was talking about a 4chan offshoot called "4ch/u/" where it's supposed to sound like "four-chu" like the Japanese onomatopoeia for a kiss.

>>119328

The second sad part is that I did google it.

I googled "4ch/u/" and assumed that I did it wrong.

I'm the mod. I am smurt.
