[OOC] A Symphony of Elements

[Genkai]

That would be a pretty good setup there well not set up goal to aim for and beyond that. I am sure the village would love for Naruto to be Hokage but he could always decline and act as another adviser to Sakura because he still wants to help change/keep safe Konoha. I don't really need Sasuke tbh.

Yes yes, I knew I could seduce with writing, as it is the best way to seduce someone hahaha~

[SoleAccord]

To show he's outgrown the need for it, that he can still be good and strong for the village without being the face of it. He didn't need to be a Hokage to fight Pain and protect everyone and I've always wanted to see him get out of that shell. At that point in the story, and easily beyond it, the title was almost meaningless. Earning the affection of the villagers was the plan and he did that. If he loses, he'll lose gracefully, and should he struggle Ino would be there to pick him up. It was a lifelong dream, any tears he shed will probably be out of view from Sakura, it's her day and he'll want her to be happy no matter what. Unfortunately for you, Naruto needs Sasuke, and of this I don't think we can avoid. Sasuke and Naruto are pretty much brothers, it'll need to be resolved way later in the game but we're talking way later. Until he brings him back, I don't believe Naruto will ever be content with himself. A promise was a promise to Sakura after all. If they confront him again, Sakura will be there, and imagine the surprise when she's got her own little diamond on her forehead and may be the Hokage at that point, if not a Jounin/ANBU bad ass!

You have a way with words, what can I say? Lin's got so many obstacles ahead of her, not just Tenzin. Try selling her role as Tenzin's lover to Ikki and Meelo? Yikes. Jinora might be the most understanding of the bunch but it's gonna be haaaaaaaard work.

[Genkai]

In terms of Tenzin's kids accepting Lin, I think Meelo would and Jinora, Meelo thinks she's awesome and Jinora is pretty mature but Ikki might take some time, she is the middle child so who knows what's going on in her head. If Lin becomes a more prominent role in Tenzin's life during the illness and after, it might ease things a bit.

[SoleAccord]

Well minus a couple cases as the show went on, Meelo and Ikki tended to share a lot of opinions about how people looked at them and stuck together. Jinora was the brilliant one and the oldest, which would also inspire some jealousy in Ikki later if we decide to go that route. Lin being closer to the family and less reluctant to get to know them (hard, I know) may ease the transition from family friend to ...and I may be getting ahead of myself ...stepmother. :3

[Genkai]

Well we're not really going by what the show did, we're going by what our roles do in their given situations. Lin does care about them and while she doesn't like kids, I think it's obvious she's willing to make his the exception to the rule, and they're nearly out that difficult unappealing stage though to me any age is just awful. >__> But if their dad is happy and Lin isn't horrible (which she isn't) they would come around sooner or later if they had reservations for whatever reason. Lin and Pema do need to bury the hatchet a bit more too, but they are getting there.

[SoleAccord]

I know, I'm just kind of using it as a background. Not everything from it will be taken, AU and all. I think a kid like Jinora is great, it's Meelo and Ikki you need to watch out for, and Rohan might be a little sweetheart, you never know. Lin and Pema are going to definitely have a good talk about it all, I just don't look forward to the inevitable fall Tenzin will experience when Pema does go ;_;

I know you don't like kids but the key is raising good ones. You wouldn't want any pairing you like having a little Jinora or a Rue? xP

[Genkai]

And they don't need to accept Lin right off the back because I mean they did lose their mom, of course they need to process it but I don't think they'd be bitter about it forever and Lin can of course would help them keep Pema in their memory. Hell, there might be some memorial on the island for Pema that she could build cause she is an earth bender. -shrugs- We may need a skip when the fall happens because I don't think much would happen for a while there...Lin can only be around so much without there being much to say.

Yeah raising a good one could be cute gah...the idea of dealing with 9 months of preggers...-shudders- Kids change dynamics too...romance can usually go out the window with ships if say they have a tiny brat. Rue and Jinora are awesome but that takes time man...

[SoleAccord]

Yeah, I agree, and Pema should at least have a great monument or gravestone. Tenzin's recovery might vary but I think given a couple weeks he might be strong enough to talk about it, the children on the other hand would still hurt. I think Katara's going to be staying for some time.

Which is why time SKIPS are a thing xP I won't go into natures of the pairings children though, as tempting as it is. Let's just worry about getting everyone full romantically involved and leave the spawns to a much later discussion.

[Genkai]

Katara would surely be needed around the home, it just makes me wonder where Borra and Masami will be when we do need to skip.

A much much later discussion. Heh.

[SoleAccord]

Well it depends. Masami should be in full swing and may even be in full dating mode and romantic evenings together again. Bolin's at ATI because the Arena is busted, if the arena is repaired he may need to live there or find another option. I don't think he wants to hear Masami's love sounds through the wall if he stays with them, and I don't think Korra's going to be moving in with him anytime soon. I think if Korra continues to see Bolin as she did in my last post, that she'll start being into him again. Unless you wanted Bolin to find a new girl and they kiss him and Korra sees it and its just ...karma is a bitch man lmao

[Genkai]

I dunno if we needed the presence of another girl but the threat of one might be enough. I just don't want Borra to happen because lo and behold Korra's jealous bone is showing again and she has to have what she can't have. If Borra is going to happen, it has to happen honestly and organically probably so Bolin isn't doubting Korra's legit feelings. There's no reason why he shouldn't make new friends, some being female and possible love interests but I think he has been burned to want to take things slow should he pursue an interest, he would start off as a friends with flirting. Ya know.

[SoleAccord]

Yeah, I got it. Borra would be a slow and steady process much like TenLin. Seems Masami gets all the early-game fluff eh?

[Genkai]

Masami has the advantage of history though unlike Tenlin, Mako isn't married or seeing someone else. Infidelity is a bit issue but they are working on it at least.

And oy, shouldn't you be in bed? I'm working on a post but what are you up to? Huh? XP

[SoleAccord]

True, true. But what all these pairs have in common is that someone's heart got broken, and it just so happens that I am in control of all the people that broke them. God it sucks to be me xD

Finishing Catching Fire before I do. At the part where Haymitch got them the spile. One more hour to go X.X ...and maybe I like your company >.>

[Genkai]

Your characters are terrible people. </3 But they are redeeming themselves slowly but surely well...two out of three...guess who I can't count?

XD I love Haymitch...*pushes him toward angsty Katniss* CF is a long ass movie, kudos for going through the whole thing but I do love the training session in it, gotta love dat tech. And thanks, I do value the company.

[SoleAccord]

... MAKO IS KEEPING IT IN HIS PANTS AS BEST HE CAN, BUT DAT ASS IS TOO STRONG I AM SORRY! Korra's got a breakthrough, she's on her way, but first must make Bolin see the POSSIBILITIES. And Tenzin's swag is too strong so Lin's panties are gonna drop sooner or later. I answer for all three because I am tired and your mind games are too strong for me. Anyone could've been the right answer lmao.

It's really good, depressing as hell but definitely worth sitting down and watching even as I'm yawning like crazy. There are plenty of highlights to me, but I am glad that Prim is more than a whimpering little child now.

[Genkai]

Wrongo! I was talking about Tenzin! Pffft right now all Tenzin is doing is using Lin's kindness which she is offering I will admit...but their progress isn't happening at all right now. SWAG or not.

Yes it is depressing. Wait, so you've never seen CF or you just saw bits of it...? Okay in Prim's defense she does shit in the third book/movie. Like..more the books than the movie...*clears throat* I do suggest reading them, they only took me like 3-5 days and you might like Peeta less. There is a line from the books left out of the movie and Haymitch says it to Katniss: you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve Peeta.

The fact is Katniss doesn't/didn't even like Peeta so that's not fair but that is a major point, he loves her but she has to deal with her shit before she can even find peace, let alone love for anyone *coughhaymitchcough* but the ending is left kind of open...ish but...eh...eh...ehhhhhhhhhhh. I still don't see Katniss and Peeta being together, friends yes, lovers....fuck no.

[SoleAccord]

DAMN IT WOMAN, THE FLUFF WILL COME, YOU MUST BE PATIENT >:c

Wait when Haymitch says that does he mean that as in she doesn't deserve the man Peeta is and needs someone better, or Peeta deserves a better woman than her? If the latter, damn, Haymitch told her ass. I don't see the love but they're REALLY shoving the Katniss x Peeta in my freaking face in this movie. I've never seen CF at all until now. They just got away from the baboons.

[Genkai]

URGH. -falls down a flight of stairs- Too much angst! T___T

It's the latter eheh...yeah. But even Katniss admits she doesn't deserve Peeta. I will say he is loyal but that's about it. But she's loyal to him too but it's coming from a different place I think. The thing is in Mockingjay, she does really care about Peeta but only because he...well er...um.,..yeah I won't say anything then but she cares about him but I honestly do not see it as love and I feel really bad for Katniss since she gets so much crap about her and Peeta when it wasn't her choice. She did what she had to do and I only wish she and him had talked about their relationship and what it really was...not what it was to everyone on the outside. Poor Peeta...poor poor Peeta...when I read about what happened in Mockingjay, even I threw my book across the room, like...urgh...a lot of fans didn't care for the last book but overall it did have plenty of action and emotions.

...I am making a post for mmidnight but only cause you're online keeping me company which then means when I get up in....6-10 hours, you get me~! And not sleepy me.

[SoleAccord]

There'll be a Tenzin picking her up and spinning her scene in it for you later if you just hold out xD

Yeah a lot of authors these days seem to be making endings to books that the fanbase isn't always satisfied with, and I don't know if it's just the pairing wars being lost for people or if its just lacking satisfaction. I like them better as friends too, I didn't get the huge leap with 'Haymitch promise me Peeta lives.' and I thought I might've missed how important this was for her. Maybe because Katniss is just a good person? It just feels like a case of 'Read the books to better understand it' and I may need to do that. Movies just don't get everything.

Oh really? Mmidnight should thank me for helping you give her something amazing to read when she gets up. I'll be patient and wait for ours then, gives me more time to think.
