[OOC] Kindling Spirits | A Legend of Korra RP

[Genkai]

We are gonna get over our hurdles. XD THIS is the LoK RP that will rule them all.

[Genkai]

Bolin be like:

[SoleAccord]

Audience finna be like

[Genkai]

And then suddenly the match is no longer thaaaat interesting when the beloved Bolin and Avatar Korra start having it out (not in the sexy way)



Then enter AMON



Though something tells me people in the crowd may ship Korra and Bolin and one person would be super heartbroken to see them fighting and then to see Korra get pwnd.

[SoleAccord]

LOL we can't bring real life shipping into this. Come on xD

[Genkai]

Aw come on. I know people in LoK had to ship people who pro-bended. It's like k-pop mania XD

[SoleAccord]

Next you're gonna suggest they magically get internet and they come across fanfiction of themselves.

Wait... wait, what if they met a fan that did that? Like, later? Consider it. I know I am. xD

Good thing no camera phones because this would be on youtube within an hour.

[Genkai]

Ha, it's a good thing LoK just has radio and is slowly getting movies.

I could see some crazy ass fan writing fanfics by hand and distributing it to his friends when they all meet at the arena to gush. And yes they're all guys for some reason. XD

I'm sure the argument would be mentioned during the broadcast on the radio but mostly by the commentary dude. I doubt that would reach Mako and Asami though, not that they'd really pay it much mind until they hear about Amon but I think we were gonna have Mako and Asami go to the arena when they notice the smoke (assuming Amon blows up the arena?).

[SoleAccord]

I shouldn't have encouraged you. Oh lord what have I gotten us into with that idea? xD

Well a LOT happens, but I'm sure he'll try to lighten the mood by adding some spicy drama to the mix. Korra won't catch wind, but I'm sure Asami and Mako happen to hear about what happens.

[Genkai]

It's gonna happen when you least expect it now.

Asami and Korra having a talk after Korra loses her fire bending? And Asami can't tell Korra that she fire bends because it feels poorly timed. I'd love to see Mako blurt it out assuming Asami said something, cause I think that'd be funny. But we'll see~

[SoleAccord]

I bet >.>

Mako wouldn't do that xD there'd need to be a reason he randomly throws that in. I think Bolin's the ONLY one that said anything he didn't want to in Season One. Maybe Mako tells Bolin and Bolin does it?

[Genkai]

I don't think Bolin would blurt it out, he's trying not to be that kind of buffoon he was before. At least I'm hoping he can be more thoughtful yet also assertive. Bolin needs to stand up for himself but also not get so involved in other people's lives....Korra...>___>

[SoleAccord]

Hey, but who showed up to bother who? Come on, Mako has a part in this xD

[Genkai]

Dude, your characters are terrible people. And even Pema had a hand in this.

Why you gotta hurt Asami and Bolin? XP

Though I do ship Asami and Bolin...

I don't think Mako was going there to kiss Korra though. That kiss was something that should not have happened, it's like some glitch in the matrix. Can't be feasibly explained.

[SoleAccord]

Pema totally did all of this with what she viewed was a harmless little story.

Korra and hormones. Boom, explanation.

[Genkai]

Pema is just ruining all ships.

Korra needs to keep it in her pants and masturbate like the rest of us, not kiss dude's who are taken. XD

I mean look at this perfect couple. Who would want to break that up??? XD

[SoleAccord]

LOL Pema WON though. THAT mindset WON. It's no wonder Korra is trying to think like Pema. It worked out for her, and she's on baby number four xD

You know who would want to break that up? Writers pressed for time and changing their minds about the romance, or simply just not thinking it through.

[Genkai]

Korra's endgame ain't babies not right now anyway. XP

The writers were so so cruel. I wish I knew why other than time constraints but to me, that makes their choices and red herrings even worse. :(

[SoleAccord]

Not after some serious traveling. Never been too big a fan of 'settle down and make babies' for characters like Korra. I want her to see the nations like Aang did. Maybe hook up with Zuko a bit.

Writers aren't perfect. It's possible they changed their minds halfway and did some rewrites, but I also think writers like 'fooling' readers too much and fail to actually make it a decent 'trick' when it comes off as someone being shallow. I'd be happy if Korra got rejected and didn't let it break her... but... you know... didn't really pan out.

[Genkai]

I think if they hadn't made Korra and Mako start off as people who didn't get along but eventually came to respect each other, that would be fine. But suddenly there had to be romantic stuff. I almost think S1 would have been better if no one ever got together. I know it's hard to consider a show like that not having a romance sub-plot but it would have saved things I think and would have allowed the characters to grow before jumping into drama. *sigh*
