The Red Lotus is so cool, their ideas of anarchy and their innovative ways of bending make them some of the most interesting villains in the series and I'm so mad the show sympathized with the facist over the cool ass anarchists😞

Their just some chill guys who's ideologies weren't even like that bad and yet they're the irredeemable villains and not the facist who tired to take over the earth kingdom via limiting resources

Rip Zaheer you would've hated the U.S government 💔

Ok so actually explaining their parallels/similarities

The main thing Zuko and Korra have in common is their character arcs. Now they're obviously not a one to one but when looking at then from a broader scope we can see that they both start the series as arrogant, hot headed, and ready to throw a punch but end the series as someone who can understand the struggles of the people around them and can be sympathetic to someone who they don't know and it takes them suffering to get there.

Korra says it herself at the end of season 4, "... but I finally understand why I had to go through all of that. I needed to understand what true suffering was so I could become more compassionate to others," both her and Zuko suffer and in doing so, learn sympathy. Zuko almost starves during his time in the Earth Kingdom and struggles with he whats to do with his life now that he's "settled down" in Ba Sing Se and then struggles with getting what he thought he wanted and realizing that after everything he's been through he's not the same person and doesn't want to be crown prince anymore. Korra has the avatar spirit ripped out of her and struggles with the fact that now Korra is all on her own with no past avatars to go to and then Korra is paralyzed from the waist down by the Red Lotus and struggles through relearning to walk while feeling useless and neglecting her avatar duties and friends while she dealt with the PTSD caused by the Red Lotus that haunted her for years.

Korra and Zuko also share the act of cutting their hair at the beginning of their journey to overcome their truma. For Zuko it's his father and his abuse and for Korra it's almost dying and being poisoned, and while they go through this journey they both have a solo episode of the same name (Zuko Alone & Korra Alone).

They're both also very ignorant to the majority of the world at the beginning of the series, with Zuko having traveled the world but not seen the world (the atrocities the Fire Nation committed) and Korra never having left the South Pole until she was 17 and therefore not understanding the people and the things happening around her.

I've never seen anyone talk about their parallels so either everyone knows and doesn't care or I'm insane. Zuko and Korra are some of my favorite characters so screamed when I saw that 'Korra Alone' title screen and I've seen them as parallel characters since then. Mako tried to do what Zuko did but without the character development and it did. not. work.

I think Korra is the true Zuko copy in tlok, and that's not to say Mako isn't he's trying to duplicate Zuko at his surface; a bad boy firebender but Korra, she duplicates Zuko at his core and in his character arc but y'all aren't ready for that conversation yet

DO WE NOT REMEMBER THE LEAKS???

DO WE NOT REMEMBER THIS??

ARE WE UN AWARE THAT OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE BOUND TO HAVE LIES AND MISS INFORMATION SO THAT WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING??

IT'S SO OBVIOUS THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS A RED HERRING PLEASE USE YOUR BRAIN FOR HALF A SECOND 😭🙏

You all hate Korra because she's short tempered, harded headed, and arrogant like that isn't why you love Zuko and Toph.

You guys only seem to hate thoese traits on a dark skinned woman and I feel like that's something you need to work through before you attempt to come at Korra because at this point your reasons for hating her are so constantly debunked and disproven that y'all just hate her because she's not Aang (you know the whole purpose of The Legend of Korra; to show us an avatar that isn't Aang)

The avatars if they were in a punk rock band together!!

+ w/o text & Wan, their underworked 40 something manager

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.

Low key just realized I never posted my Oxrun design here um oops

Anyways here’s the girl in her prime (nothing bad will ever happen to her

Decided to update my wc!Asami design I didn’t like her as a solid black she looked ashy tbh

Btw Skyclan is the United Repiblic in this au because I said so and I’ve basically thrown all wc lore in the trash in favour of Atla lmao

The urge to draw crossover content………. It’s all consuming,…….

Introducing the next character I felt actually motivated to finish…… the leader of Bloodclan himself - Redsun!!!!!!!! (Amon/Noatak)

Ougghhhh god you guys don’t understand how much I love this thing… I think I arguably landed on the most fun design ever to draw in the form of any kitty ever GIFIFOCX

Also please ignore the whatever the hell building things in the background I just needed something idk what anything is

Coincidentally this was also the best night of sleep either of them got all season… they were totally very comfortable with each other by book 3, but poor socially isolated Oxrun didn’t know how far you’re allowed to go with other women before it’s considered mega gay

This is also part of my crossover series between ATLA & warrior cats in case anyone was wondering

Oxrun: Korra

Coppershine: Asami

Warning: Mention Of Gr@pe and v!olence for anyone who is sensitive to those things

So I don't know how to start this post but I wanted to bring attention to a very disturbing and disgusting comic about atla and tlok and I would have brought attention to it but I was scared but I am now

It involves jinora and it was where she tried to stop some bad guys but it took a bad turn and she got badly hurt and gr@ped

I want to bring more attention to it because it's very bad and the people who commissioned it are also to blame and idk but maybe the artist too?

The thing or comic is called avatar the last sl@ve bender, don't hate on me please I just wanted to bring attention to it as it should have never been made

ᶦᵗ'ˢ ᵍᵉᵗᵗᶦⁿ ˢᵗᶦᶜᵏʸʸʸʸ

i'm back with a vengeance and a new aspect ratio :P

kachow!
