The way Asami runs Mako over with her car and they start dating 0.5 seconds after meeting each other and absolutely no one says that ship was forced, but when korra and asami develop a relationship based on friendship and mutual admiration and trust and end up falling in love that's when a ship comes out of nowhere and it's forced okay okay I get it

the number one most interesting analysis anyone ever made about the legend of korra is that the benders in republic city were clearly an oppressed and exploited population. NOT the non-benders. and therefore the equalists are nothing more than essentially a nazi party or kkk or other hate group that likes to masquerade itself as the victims to a scapegoat minority that is somehow a danger to normal people in order to oppress and eradicate them.
the most compelling evidence that benders actually represent and function as marginalized people is that they occupy characteristic marginalized roles in society. organized crime, factory laborers, pro-sports, music and film entertainment. (ESPECIALLY the more physically taxing high impact sports such as boxing and football!! the fighting ring nature of pro-bending absolutely reflects this. this is no golf tournament). with those roles that offer any hope of upward mobility being limited to only a few and as inherently exploited by producers as it is. or otherwise abject poverty in city slums.
non benders such as Mr. Sato own large successful corporations. benders do labor for him. benders do cheap manual labor for low pay in the early 20th century steampunk metaphor city and live in slums. while the ruling class non-bender turned out to be a raging bigot funding the equalist "movement"
so when korra yells at the equalist cunt doing a little infowars rant in the park and tells him to "shut up" and "im not oppressing you!! you're oppressing yourself" and everyone got mad at her for on tumblr being a bigot you were all wrong she was out there tearing down the zionist missing person propoganda posters before i even knew what the IDF stood for she was the fucking legend forever
AND she said acab !!!

After 15+ odd years of waiting, as of today, we finally have an official OST release for the music of Avatar - at least for Book 1!
I’m very much hoping that this means we will eventually be getting official releases of the music for Book 2 & 3 as well - I think the music from Book 2 (which is my favorite season) is what I’m looking forward to most. As a kid, I used to love just listening to the background music from The Burning Earth video game for hours on my Nintendo DS since there wasn’t an official version of the the OST out, so this is definitely an upgrade lol.
I also hope that this means we will someday get an official OST release of Books 2-4 of LoK, because I absolutely need to have Service and Sacrifice from Book 3 + the Book 4 finale version of the show’s ending theme (bc Korrasami!!) available to listen to on my Spotify playlist.
I’m assuming once the Netflix AtLA adaptation drops, we’ll probably get that album fairly soon as well, which I’m also looking forward to. Based on the teaser trailer, it sounds like they’re going to do Jeremy Zuckerman’s original score justice.
The musical themes of Avatar are just so important and add so much to the already rich world, characters, and overall story. And I can’t believe that now, we finally have a full, re-recorded version with an actual orchestra! I’m just so excited to dive into this album today.
Here’s the link to the first track (the main title theme!!!) on Spotify:

Day in Fandom History: April 14…
Airbending training has begun now that Korra is under Tenzin’s wing but when she becomes frustrated on her first day of training with her inability to airbend, she turns to the sport of pro-bending in the arena nearby. “A Leaf in the Wind” premiered on this day, 12 Years Ago.

Still think I'm a half-baked avatar?
