[OOC] A Symphony of Elements

[SoleAccord]

I don't know much about the shipping community since the game is so scarce on that, but yaoi is super popular in it due to a hilarious lack of women.

Tame, but appropriate, I could see that happening.

You've been on Lin this entire time? O_o you must have really been working hard on that part then X.X

Let's not talk about death :I we need to focus on life as much as possible. We can't let our dreams be dreams.

[Genkai]

Yaoi was so popular back then...kids ahah.

It's 5 paragraphs, also I doubt you listen to as much The Fray as me but I'm quoting one of their lyrics because I can. XP

Dreams must be reality so dreams can then be pizza!

[SoleAccord]

Still is, a ton more fanservice these days in anime and shit than there was back in early 2000's lol

You went in on it then haha. I don't listen to The Fray so I'll have no idea. Looks like Tenzin will be the exhausting reply this time around, but I'll have to see.

If my dream was reality I'd be having people make fanfiction out of some awesome world I've created, and then I'll be on twitter being sarcastic about people's opinions on the characters and ESPECIALLY PAIRINGS!

[Genkai]

Boom. Done with Lin. Time for something a little less heavy. I may need Masami next post though, just for the sake of my poor old heart.

Haha it would be really cool to write something and have people ship characters and stuff. I'd love to see people break it down and stuff and really get into the nitty gritty. Oh, an author can dream~

[SoleAccord]

I gotta see it so I can figure out some kind of plan that'll last them a couple replies, cause all I can think about is making out n' shit and they're not ready for that~

And then there'll be those people that will rip you a new one if you disappoint them, like the Naruto ending pissed a LOOOOT of people off, dear god. If Kishimoto was in the wrong neighborhood a week after writing the ending someone would've fucked him up. But yeah I'd like to write my own masterpiece for sure and never have to work again, be asked to write for movies, t.v. shows, games - that's my fucking DREAM.

[Genkai]

Slow dancing for no reason, cleaning the kitchen, idk...something to make the pain of Linzin less...awful lol I'd suggest hand stuff but yeah, too soon.

Haaa I've learned from JK Rowling and the rest to not force romance where there's hardly any to be found. I'd love to write for tv more than movies but tv would be super tricky I bet. I'd love to have my own column in a paper that people read. Maybe we should write about a writer making it big and then that's how we do cause INCEPTION.

[SoleAccord]

Eeeh I'd rather not resort to filler when these replies are my toughest as is, so I cannot make promises for you :C but I'll see what we can do with them if anything. I'd actually rather just get them out of the way so we can get through this last stretch and on to Tenzin working to move on from Pema and etc. Is that okay?

Lol Ginny, god ...J.K. had a great series but I didn't give a shit about her romance, I think that's how it usually goes for me in almost everything. I didn't even ship in Naruto until it was over and I got all the facts and the development. Nooooo, no writing about writers, we'd understand their struggle so well! XD

[Genkai]

That's fine. Curious though, if you think Mako and Asami said they loved each other in their prior relationship. I don't think so unless you might...?

[SoleAccord]

You know, I don't actually know. That crossed my mind while I was writing Mako's heartfelt bit about Asami and wanting to love her like she deserved. I think given Mako's attitude in the series' as a total scumbag he wouldn't have said it, but this is a Mako working to reform. I've never been in a position where I'd kiss another girl if I had one already but I think Korra was a fling. They're attracted to one another but other than that I didn't really see the chemistry. Season 1 was just so ...'okay'.

So if Asami's hearing love now and she never heard it before, her heart must be racing like hell I imagine X.X

[Genkai]

I thought as much, they were pretty fresh before the kiss happened at least if I can think back to their pacing. At any rate, the "L word" has been spoken and I hope it goes well and not seen as cliche or anything. >_<'

[SoleAccord]

Yeeeeeah =/ Mako was the hard one for a reason and I had to make a tough call about what he was going to say. But he's a dumb teenager who cares about Asami, so not everything is going to make much sense. I mean, him wanting Korra all of a sudden after Bolin and her were hitting it off didn't exactly make much sense either. He was a self-absorbed idiot who thought she was only doing it to get to him. So, it's probably cliche of Mako to resort to that, but all he can do now is prove that he can be the man he wants to be for Asami and himself. He had a great thing with her and he threw it away.

[Genkai]

With any luck, he'll be less of a mood teenage jackass and more of a suave boyfriend who gets spoiled by Asami while they also fire bend around town looking fine as hell. I'm about nearly done with Asami, she isn't so hard but I know it has to be done carefully for Mako's sake. I mean this is them kind of burying the hatchet finally and hopefully something similar could be done for Borra too but as far as Bolin is concerned, it's water under the bridge (hurt feelings aside I mean) he doesn't hold anything against Korra.

[SoleAccord]

Yeah. I mean we may hit some cliches because teenagers are walking cliches in a setting like this. World isn't at stake like in TLA, so Mako's biggest issue is women xD so I'll take a cliche admittance/belief that he's in love with her, could also be because of he's guilt. Mako is super flawed in the romance department and isn't as pimp as he thinks >.> so if you think it was cliche, I accept it, I did too really. Not to mention Asami did kiss him again in like Season 2 and he just pretended he was totally fine with Korra right in front of her after their fight. So, yeah, Mako's a piece of shit with girls in canon. I'll take a slightly cliche but humble and meaningful Mako over the canon one.

Bolin kinda brought up that Korra did change in his mind due to what she did with Mako, and it's less about Bolin's feelings getting hurt and more about what she ended up doing with Mako and never apologizing to Asami. I don't think Korra ever saw Bolin like Bolin saw her and that's why there's a disconnect between them now. She never looked at Bolin and saw a boyfriend, she saw a best friend, and I don't think the show did these two right in Season 1. It was never clear if Korra understood Bolin REALLY liked her as much as she liked Mako. So, yeah, Korra's willing to move on but Bolin's line made her wonder if that was going to be possible for them.

[Genkai]

Cliche can be good, as well as bad but teenagers are gonna be cliche, sadly. I mean you watch a teen movie and you already know what's gonna happen but you can still enjoy the ride at least. I'm done with Asami though so I hope it works out for ya Mako! XD

I'm so close to climbing in bed and going to sleep~

Sadly Bolin wasn't on Korra's radar and if he ever was, it was so brief and right when Mako came up to her and the kiss happened...it just wasn't fair to poor Bolin. I think Bolin would be fine with not being romantic with her, as long as it was made clear it wouldn't happen. But since it will (they don't know it yet) it's complicated. Bolin wants to move on, he doesn't want to dwell on how bad it felt to see his brother lip locked with his crush (when his brother was dating Asami no less). He wants to have good times with Korra again (while protecting his broken lil heart). It's a tight line to walk.

[SoleAccord]

Yeah, I just gotta live with the imperfectness of Mako, so hopefully things work better for him and Asami this time around.

You can finish whenever you want, doesn't need to be tonight.

Bolin's day will come, it'll just take some time for Korra to not be as guilty with him as Mako is about Asami, and then see him as a love interest. I wonder what'll come first: TenLin or Borra.

[Genkai]

I wanna get you this post, I'm like 3/4 done already. =____=

Bolin will need Mako and Asami's help to seem like a stud muffin Korra would wanna sink her teeth into haha. I feel like TenLin is gonna happen sooner but then again who knows, they're both pretty careful pairs and either way, everyone is gonna take a trip to pound town sooner or later.

[SoleAccord]

Haha okay :3 oh, I got a follow on that story, when I haven't put any work in Chapter 5 yet. I feel bad xD

I dunno. Korra's proven she's really, really shallow. Mako was an asshole to her but she still liked him for it, cause he was just the 'hunk' type. Maybe she just needs to take the time to spend with him and maybe one thing leads to another, sort of like KakaSaku.

[Genkai]

Nah that's good, use that motivation.

Just thinking about season one disgusts me. What's worse is that it's still better than season two for me. >___> How is that even possible? Though let's not forget Korra's face when she figured out Tenzin and Lin totally used to be a thing. It would have been cool to see pro bending be more of a thing later on though. Ah well. Korra was shallow, Mako was an ass, Bolin was naive and Asami was fucking innocent the whole time and got shit on anyway. >___>

[SoleAccord]

"WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THIS!?" I cry out

Season 2 was SOOOOO fucking ... GOD, what was wrong with it? I was bored, I didn't CARE, it just DRAGGED ...and that pointless amnesia shit felt SO forced. Then the Masami subplot went nowhere so idk why they did it, and then Jinora had this new ability...sigh...and Asami WAS faultless, it's hilarious how she ate shit the most. You wanna do some pro bending in the future then?

[Genkai]

I am struggling with my Bolin post, like idk...it's gonna...it's gonna not be so great. I'm trying. -__-' But yeah, Asami got the worst deal, then Jinora comes up, then Bumi of all people has to get air bending, a lot of bad choices but deep down there was still some good, somewhere...and pro bending was cool. I'd love to see same element teams like all fire v all earth or something like that.
