Raava - Blog Posts

@neuronary u kno who it is

Imma write this now

I've recently finished TLOK & there for joined the fandom and... Did we even watch the same show???

(Very long & passionate rant under cut)

Like mf wdym Korra is the worst/weakest Avatar? It's physically not possible for her to be the weakest as the cycle goes on the Avatar spirt gets stronger so technically the weakest Avatar is Wan!! But I still want to point out the many reasons why Korra isn't the weakest or worst Avatar.

Firstly, I want to acknowledge vaid criticisms of Korra. Yes she constantly underestimated her opponents but in her defense she was severely inexperienced. She'd spent most of her life in that training facility in the south Pole and then once she got to republic city was almost immediately thrown into dealing with the equalits so she underestimated Amon due to lack of experience. She was then manipulated by her uncle so can you really blame her for not realizing he was evil till it was too late? THAT WAS HER FAMILY!!

Anyways, Korra has faults like every Avatar but she also has feats that you all seem to forget/over look!

My main example and my favorite to bring up in this argument is; Korra on harmonic convergence after having Raava RIPPED from her (need to emphasize the fact that Korra did not give Raava up willing like some of y'all like to think, she fought to keep Raava with her and was devastated when she lost her and the past lives. She didn't give it up willingly) meaning she didn't have the Avatar state and this fight was just her pure strength against UnaVaatu.

KORRA BEAT HIS ASS WITH NO BENDING, NO AVATAR STATE, NO PAST LIVES, NO NOTHING. KORRA FIST FOUGHT THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS AND DARKNESS AND WON!

But I have more examples of how strong she truly is (there is no order to them lol).

Korra broke out of Blood bending without the Avatar state (something Aang couldn't do).

She had control over 3/4 of the elements at like five, and the only reason it took so long to master Air bending (which still only took like a few months) was because she didn't get a teacher until she was 17!

Korra fought one of the strongest air benders WHILE DYING, like ppl forget she was slowly dying during that fight. She was weakened and still won.

Now let's talk about another one of my favorite feats of hers, REDIRECTING THE AVATAR UNIVERSE VERSION OF A FUCKING NUKE. Like it was so powerful it ripped open a whole in space & time, creating a new spirit portal and she redirected it and wasn't even fazed. Like I'm 90% sure she didn't even break a sweat!

She's the first Avatar to metal bend, ik it's likely because she's the first Avatar to exist when metal bending was more common but she was metal bending in like a week! That's not something anyone can do!!

Another reason I have is technically not about her strength but more about the strength of Korra's version of Raava. When Korra re-fused with Raava, the Raava spirit was bigger than it was when it was ripped from her and alot bigger than the version Wan fused with meaning Korra has a stronger version of Raava than previous Avatars making her inherently stronger than them. When Korra re-fused with Raava, she was big enough for Korra to ride on her but when Wan fused with her Raava fit in a tea pot.

Now time to defend Korra's loses!

・Korra lost against Amon because she was inexperienced, she'd spent most of her life away from the world and wasn't prepared to fight a master water bender.

・Korra lost Raava because it was supposed to happen. Ever Harmonic convergence Raava and Vaatu fight so it's likely that ever 10,000 year's the avatar cycle will restart, also did we not watch Korra be absolutely DEVASTATED that she lost her connect with the last Avatars? Like she spends most of the time during the 4th season wishing she could talk to Aang!

・Honestly I don't even know if Korra won or lost against Zaheer but I do know she was slowly dying during the fight. She was no where near her full strength! Also, the red lotus was actively surprised at how well Korra fought against going into the Avatar state just showing her control over it.

・Korra got her ass beat in that ring in the earth kingdom because she was rusty and GOING THROUGH IT! Like she hadn't fought in 3 year's and she was still working through her turama, it's the samething when she lost to old Toph, she was rusty, still being affected by the poison, and traumatized. There was on way she was going to win in that state

・ Korra lost in her 1v1 with Kuvira because she was rusty, she hadn't fought in 3 year's and you expect her to be as good as she was before her hiatus? Bitch please! Korra quite literally goes on to go toe to toe with Kuvira at the end of the season when she'd worked through her rust.

In conclusion, Korra isn't the wort or weakest Avatar your just over looking her feats and dumbing her down because you can't except your fav isn't as strong as you think. She was ment to restart the Avatar cycle, and she also isn't even in her prime! She's 17 in the first season, 18 in season 2 & 3, and 21 in the last season, Korra is still at the beginning of her career as an Avatar. She's only going to get stronger.

Also no, I'm not a Korra glazer. She's not even my favorite Avatar, it's Kiyoshi.

One shot based on my headcannon that wan visits every avatar when they are born and that his biggest regret is how much they suffer because of what he did.

One Shot:

The sound of a cooing baby fills his ears as he slowly makes his way through the hut. He knows that he is a stranger here and what him being here will do. But he can’t bring himself to leave. Not when this was the only chance he had to meet her.

Quietly making his way to the bassinet in the corner he gazes down at little bundle inside. And just like it had every time before, his heart melts at the sight. She was precious, so small and innocent. He loves her so much. Just as he had loved all of his babies before her.

Gently reaching down he lift her up and cradles her to his chest. His heart melts even more at feeling of her soft, baby skin in his war roughened hands. He never forgets this moment. He will never forget how soft his babies one where or the way they had fit so comfortably in his arms as he held them for the fist(and only) time. He hasn’t forgotten how grouchy his feisty fire ferret Seto looked when he held him, or the adorable way his sweet sky bison yangchen sneezed, nor how strong his cute little cub Kuruk’s grip had been. Just like how he hasn’t forgotten the way his precious panda Kiyoshi cuddled up to him, or the way his darling dragon Roku looked so curiously at him, nor the way his wonderful winged lemur Aang smiled at him.

He remembers every single second holding them. It’s the most precious memories he has and now he can add the way his newest baby tries to grab his hair to those treasured memories. Looking down at her a silent chuckle moves in his chest as he watches her futility try and grab his hair. His proud little polar bear dog pup was going to be a stubborn one, he just knows it.

Carefully he begins to bounce her a little and starts to hum a lullaby. It was an old song lost to time but he had sung it to all of his babies before he… His heart clenches at the reminder of what he came here for. This was the part he hated because he knew that once he did this any chance of a normal, peaceful life was gone for good. That he would be putting a target on her back forever.

Not for the first time he cursed the spirits for making him do this. For making him give his babies a destiny that would lead to them suffering for the rest of their lives. He also curses himself in the process, if only he hadn’t prevented raava from defeating vaatu all those centuries ago. Then he wouldn’t have caused this cursed cycle in the first place. If only he had just a little more time.

A small tug in his mind pulled him out of his thoughts. It was reminder that his time in physical world was short so he must do this now. Tears begin to burn his eyes as he prepares for what he must do, never stoping his bouncing or humming. Mournfully he places his proud little polarbear dog pup back in her bassinet, dreading what comes next. Slowly he leans down and places a gentle kiss on her forehead, tears burning his eyes as he feels raava passing from him to her. As he always does he silently begs raava to be gentle as she transfers to his little one.

Now that the deed had been done he could feel himself start to fade out of the physical world. Knowing he didn’t have much time he gently stroked the infant’s head, not yet wanting to leave. Tears falling on his face as a quiet whisper begins. “Oh little one I swear to you I never wanted this. If I could take back my mistake I would but I can’t. Now you must bare my burden, just as your previous lives had before you. I’m so sorry my proud polarbear pup,” he cries softly gently kissing her head again. “Before I leave I want to know that you are loved so dearly and that you are never alone.”

His eyes glow softly as he disappears. “Remember from this moment on we are one. I wish you the best of luck avatar Korra and I pray that your life will be a good one,” he whispers as he fades away. Leaving only a sleeping babe, unaware of the destiny that now awaits her.

My first one shot. Hope you all enjoy it❤️

I love how wan is physically incapable of minding his own damn business
