This is so colorful and magical

**gold-steps** · 05-05-2023, 07:47 PM

I love all the pink. It makes everything look so romantic.

**pink velvet** · 05-08-2023, 05:46 AM

It does! The Spirit World is such a special place for them

**gold-steps** · 05-10-2023, 08:25 PM

Yeah, I like to think after that first trip it kind of becomes their go-to getaway when they need to kind of escape the real world.

**pink velvet** · 05-11-2023, 12:22 PM

i could use a place like that

**gold-steps** · 05-12-2023, 07:22 PM

Me too honestly

I think these gifs are going to be small but I cannot for the life of my find another source for this quote. I'm assuming its from one of the writers or creators and it's so sweet how they wanted their relationship to be a slow burn.

They are small, but still sweet

I do love the quotes! I googled one and it was the creators! Here is a piece of the article as well as the link to the full thing

Quote:

"The more Korra and Asami's relationship progressed, the more the idea of a romance between them organically blossomed for us," Konietzko wrote. "However, we still operated under this notion, another 'unwritten rule,' that we would not be allowed to depict that in our show. So we alluded to it throughout the second half of the series, working in the idea that their trajectory could be heading towards a romance."

As the series was nearing its end, Konietzko and DiMartino thought about Korrasami and how the network never explicitly said they couldn't have a same-sex relationship depicted on the show. The duo didn't want to have the series end without at least trying to make Korrasami happen, which led to the final scene of the series, featuring Korra and Asami holding hands.

"We approached the network and while they were supportive there was a limit to how far we could go with it, as just about every article I read accurately deduced," Konietzko explained. "It was originally written in the script over a year ago that Korra and Asami held hands as they walked into the spirit portal. We went back and forth on it in the storyboards, but later in the retake process I staged a revision where they turned towards each other, clasping both hands in a reverential manner, in a direct reference to Varrick and Zhu Li's nuptial pose from a few minutes prior."

After asking composer Jeremy Zuckerman to change the music to be more "tender and romantic," the final scene of The Legend of Korra was completed.

Oh thanks for finding it! It's really sweet how they just kind of let it happen naturally.

It makes me sad that the network wouldn't really go for it as far as a full on romance but I like how the creators tried to take it it as far as they could within what Nick would allow.

I hadn't really noticed before, but that moment where they take each other's hands is very wedding-ey, plus with the romantic music, it's still such an iconic and romantic moment.

**pink velvet** · 05-15-2023, 08:37 AM

It's unfortunate that Nick wouldn't allow it. That's one of the reasons that the new shows and movies are extra exciting! They shouldn't be held back by anything anymore.

I hadn't noticed that either! Now I won't unsee that parallel

**gold-steps** · 05-16-2023, 06:39 PM

Yes I cannot wait to see more Korrasami. Hopefully they're able to do whatever they want now. I don't see why not.

That is forever how I will think of it now

Though that's not really a bad thing. It's such a sweet parallel.

**pink velvet** · 05-17-2023, 12:01 PM

Animated kisses lets goooo

It's the kind of parallel I can get behind

Protective girlfriend

**gold-steps** · 05-17-2023, 07:29 PM

That's what I hope to see!

It's so cute! Especially when Korra had her more vulnerable moments, Asami was always looking out for her

**pink velvet** · 05-18-2023, 04:41 AM

Korra felt at least a bit better about Asami seeing that side of her as opposed to the others

**gold-steps** · 05-18-2023, 07:38 PM

Yeah it's so sweet how she felt like Asami was the only person she felt comfortable opening to.
