[OOC] A Symphony of Elements

Well I'm not exactly on a Borra bandwagon until Korra does some growing up and stop using him to boost her self esteem.

I mean we're getting there, Mako's still got time to mention that Bolin hasn't totally given up yet and this is her opportunity to let him know that she isn't interested orrrrr go out with him again and try to see him as more than a friend. Asami could also do it but she encouraged him to look elsewhere. I did have Korra intentionally go to Bolin because he was the least likely to look down on her so she is subconsciously using him in that regard, that 'maybe it wasn't so bad', and why she left the room to say this. She's going to appreciate him more, she just needs that moment where someone points out how much of a dick she is. If not Asami, it's gonna be Mako.

[Genkai]

I'm pretty sure Asami already pointed out how hurt Bolin was and how much an ass Korra was. Bolin can't be kept on the hook forever and Korra's actions have changed his view of her. Is Bolin still crazy about Korra? Yeah but he can't keep holding out for someone who doesn't have room in her life for him as a romantic interest. Not to mention she made it clear she sees him as a friend. And he's happy to be her friend but not if all she does is complain to him when her life sucks. He's gonna call her out on her shit in my post because eavesdropping is wrong, good intentions may be poorly place on Korra's concern with Tenzin but Bolin knows Korra can be a better person. He doesn't want her stepping back and getting in her own way, he's gonna tell her to take responsibility and own up to mistakes and that some things only she can fix.

[SoleAccord]

Good, I think Korra is going to need that slap in the face when BOLIN of all people calls her out, and god help us if she starts crawling over to Mako about it. I think she's going to see Bolin happy without her soon and then karma's gonna slap her in the worst way.

[Genkai]

Yep, she's getting a good ol' stern lecture from the positive earth bender...you know you've fucked up then! I'm not sure if I should have him bring up her kissing Mako at this time, seems in bad taste.

[SoleAccord]

Oh boy don't do it, I think Korra's kinda had it about that mistake, I don't want tears to fall and voices to raise. Emotions are super high already xD meanwhile Mako and Asami are just ...I don't know, THERE. They're just sitting there watching that unfold and then Korra gets mad which gets Bolin mad and they don't want anyone else to say anything about it.

[Genkai]

Yeah I wasn't gonna go there, but Bolin needs to at some point or Korra, might be big of her to approach the issue first.

[SoleAccord]

The whole limiter set by the previous lives she lived was because she could fix her life as Korra before realizing her Avatar powers to the fullest once again. Bolin can give a big hint that he's unsatisfied with how he's using her for a morale boost, but bringing up the kiss now would spark a flame very volatile. I don't want to see them get that mad just before sleep, then they're never gonna sleep!

[Genkai]

Like I said, I probably won't bring it up. I was just saying he will soon or Korra should.

At any rate, I'll start working on a post. *nods* Since I don't think we're skipping yet, I'm not sure how long/short my post will be...

[SoleAccord]

Substance > Length so whatever you present is fine as long as it keeps us continuing, don't make the mistake I made X.X

[Genkai]

What? You mean waiting over two months? XD

[SoleAccord]

I wrote for you more than myself, and that's not a bad thing, but it's what put us on hold for so long. You're not to blame, I just lost sight of what I was doing this for.

[Genkai]

I write for my partners (I also write for me and the story itself) but if I'm not happy with the writing itself, then it doesn't feel right. If you're not happy then of course the writing is gonna suffer. Even if I'm not always happy with my posts (3/4 times I am happy though) if my partner and I are on the same page and still having fun, then it shouldn't matter, not every post is gonna be awesome, nor do they have to be.

[SoleAccord]

Yeah, I just like every post to be substantial, but I know that can be unrealistic. I put a lot more expectations on myself instead of just writing. Became more about "Would she think this is good?" and less about turning Korra and Mako into decent people. I hope you forgive me for the silence, I still feel bad about it.

[Genkai]

There's not much to forgive. I mean you [i]did]/i] come back...some don't, or some do but then ignore you. So I mean, you owned up to it and we can move on. It's annoying but I don't really have any major grudge toward you.

[SoleAccord]

I can tell posting the following gif is a horrible, horrible idea on my part ...but it is representative of how I am to feel about you at this moment. Here it goes:

Nine & Rose!

*falls into a puddle of mush*

They'll always be a weakness of mine. <333333

-exits bomb shelter- Well that was nicer than I expected!

Aaaaand the gif has shrunk ...I guess the site's still weird, hmph.

Wow you know you mentioned KakaSaku vids, so I went to google because whatever and there's a LOT of good fanart with these two together. Fans can be pretty awesome people.
