Got that bitch a tumblr. Bitches love tumblrs.

Re: Legend of Korra

Not what I expected. Which is funny, considering that I already knew who all the characters were, what the general plot was, and cosplayed Korra back before it became cool. (And you best believe I’m gonna bring out that costume again for this summer.)

It’s not the old Avatar. I dunno how kids are gonna react to the Amon/Equalist business, because it reflects some real, relevant issues in our society—just replace “bender” with “[insert socioeconomic majority group here]” and “non-bender” with a minority. The seriousness of the series so far is kind of disappointing, but I’m just gonna treat it like a separate entity, rather than measuring each scene up against its predecessor.

Korra falls short on what I hoped for, but the American public is deeeefinitely not ready for a lesbian heroine (with biceps) to change the gender bias, so I’m not complaining. Yeah, I expected her to be a little more overtly badass. But they’re spinning her story that she’s entirely out of her element in Republic City, and y’know what? It works. Instead of being a perfect bender, she’s good at what she’s been trained for and hilariously awkward at anything that doesn’t come naturally. It’s totally relate-able.

As for shipping, lemme put it this way: all the drops of water from my leaking boiler = all the fucks that I honestly do not give. Yes, she ends up with Mako, we know. Call me when they actually have chemistry.

All in all, I’m just plain curious to see how it and the community evolves, whether it’ll make a splash in the grand scheme of things.

And then I forgot how to internet socialize. Ask me shit.

Forget about tumblr for weeks on end.

Remember to check Korra tag.

STILL NO RELEASE DATE.

In other news, France has this weird tendency to make me forget fandom for surprisingly extensive periods of time. Until I remember that Homestuck probably had fifty updates and then it’s back to normal.

Cocksplay 2012.

I’ve got this senior thesis that’s gonna be about gender and sexuality in cosplay. Which means summer cons. Which means getting down with my gay dressup-y self and you guys, also gay and dressed up.

Basically, some or none is gonna happen. No huge priorities except for Korra and Uranus since there’s gonna be a bunch of plainclothes fieldwork.

- Homestuck: Handmaid, Not-dead Aradia, God Tier Rose because I like orange, idk, something.
- Comics: Terry McGinnis, Nightwing, Wonder Woman
- Animu: Sailor Uranus because HI CASSI I STILL REMEMBER
- Other: Esmeralda

Good god where are all the dudes, what happened.
