Korra, as a character, is really unmatched to this day. I was captivated seeing that first reveal on some forum board back when I was like 12. A character like hers - brazen and tough, not waiting for permission to exist as she is - was truly unseen at that time in girls, and to a degree still is. Her being brown, on top of that, made her a magnet for me, and I am sure many others. With her character arc ultimately dealing with PTSD and disability, she is rightfully an icon to many.
On top of all the things she is, Korra was and still is my body ideal. I work my arms at the gym and grin at the idea I could resemble her likeness someday. She proved not only that there was room for girls to be buff and unashamedly strong, but specifically that there's pride to take in looking that strong. To this day, when I feel shame about leaning more into my butch tendencies, I look at her and feel something glowing in me.

i love the idea of deuce dying his hair to blond highlights or smth like that bc think about it
The last time deuce had blonde hair from what the game recalls was back when he was a delinquent, a part of his past that he continues to regret, hate and hide for the sake of moving on. He gets frustrated when he falls back into his old habits and embarrassed when he becomes angered, hating the way his own mannerisms remind him of the things he did and people he hurt. To him, the bleach on his hair was as much of a stain as his own wrongdoings. To him, there was no one without the other because every person he punched, every kid he bullied, every victim of one rude remark after another, all of them learned to avoid the head of blonde they saw in crowds knowing that out of everyone in their town, it could’ve been Deuce.
I like the idea that hair holds memories bc to me, it means deuce could have a happy ending. If he ever decided to willingly dye some of his hair blonde, I take that as him making peace with himself. To me, it is him acknowledging that yes, what he did was wrong and his actions can’t be undone, but he doesn’t deserve to berate himself for something he is trying to correct. The first step is to acknowledge that what happened was wrong and take proper responsibility for it, and he did. He took that step a long time ago and he is still actively trying to keep going and better himself and do more.
Some people don’t make it past that first step. Deuce didn’t have to. He didn’t need to become an honors student, he did it for the people he loved, for his mother.
I feel like he got rid of his blonde hair because it was the last shred of who he was as a delinquent. A minuscule detail tied so greatly to a point in his life that he despised. So the idea of him willingly bringing it back—even just a little—fills me with absolute joy bc to me, it solidifies the idea that he is the same exact person who he was all that time ago. And that’s okay. Because that person changed and grew and found somewhere to flourish even if he continues to struggle day in and day out.
Tldr I would die for this man thank you for coming to my Ted talk
