This is actually so important
In all seriousness though---
Korra got a ton---and I mean a TON---of hate, for daring to be a headstrong, non-genderconforming woman of color. So forgive me if I don't react well to "korrasami doesn't deserve it"
Korra already fought through enough misogyny and racism while it was actively airing. She already got enough criticism for not being the "target audience" of 8-12 age males who buy action figures. She already got enough criticism for having flaws as a woman, for not "acting ladylike". She already got enough criticism for not being white or white passing in a show that has ZERO white characters. So when you come at korrasami fans with "they don't deserve it"? Don't be surprised when korrasami fans look at it with a lens of suspicion, because korrasami already fought through the criticism, already fought through being stuck in the "dead slot" air time in nickelodeon (which they were moved to in season three, when the show runners actively started hinting at a wlw ship), already fought through being pulled off air and onto online viewing only, in 2014, for those of you who are a bit young. (Obergefell vs Hodges, the Supreme Court case which legalized gay marriage nationwide in the US, happen on June 26, 2016). "They only held hands in the finale" because that's all they could get away with at the time. They were the FIRST. Bubbeline came later. Rupphire came later. Catradora came later. There are still no notable mlm ships in children's media, so the work ISN'T done. Korrasami fans "screech and yell" at you for not understanding because you accuse them of "queerbaiting" without understanding that they were the FIRST in their time to OPENLY hint at being gay on a a children's television network. In a time, for most intents and purposes in the US, being gay was still ILLEGAL.
And by the way? The Owl House, a recent, animatec children's show on Disney, was recently canceled for not being "the Disney brand". It features a bisexual woman of color (in an EXPLICITLY wlw relationship) as the main character, not unsimilar to Korra. Misogyny is not dead. Homophobia is not dead. Know your history, and know the work isn't done.
Pretty please give me more. Pretty please. I will give you five snails.
This is another one of those ideas that I came up with while messaging my buddy @ordinaryschmuck. I'm going to be releasing it in parts. Partly to get a sense of people's interest in the idea and partially because this is so long it could be it's own legit piece of fanfiction.
The story begins eight years post the Owl House's canon, when Amity and Luz are in their twenties. Amity found out that Luz had, once again, hidden something from her due to not wanting her to worry. Tired of her girlfriend not telling her about her issues, Amity goes to visit Luz, who's helping Raine catalogue Belos's old hidden stash of magic items, and they quickly get into an argument. One of the worst ones of their relationship. So bad In fact that Amity ends up saying she wished she'd never met Luz.
Luz's heart brakes hearing that.
Luz: Y-you don't mean that!
Amity: Maybe I do. After all, if you're just going to keep your feelings hidden and not talk them through with me...then what's the point of us even being together?
With that, Amity leaves. She spends the night staying with Emira at her place, still stewing over her feelings about Luz.
She wakes up the next day.....and when she stretches her arms after waking up, she sees the Emperor's coven sigil on her right inner wrist.
Amity: What the hell?!
She stares at it closely to make sure it's real, even attempting to wipe it off, to no avail. Then, she looks away from it and her eyes fill with more fear and confusion as she sees her surroundings
Instead of Emira and Viney's guest bedroom, she was in a four walled, stone room covered in Emperor's coven symbols and paraphernalia.
Amity jumps out of bed, breath heavy with panic.
Amity: Emira! This isn't funny! Come on, knock it off with this!
When she gets no response, she starts experimentally touching all the Emperor's coven items in the room and her fear growing more and more as each one felt real.
Amity: No, no, no! No, this-this is just an illusion!
She then notices an open window and, as one ultimate test, slowly moves her hand closer and closer to the opening until hee hand went out the window, proving that this WASN'T just an illusion.
Now, violently freaking out, she looked outside the window and, to her horror, realized that she was in the Emperor's palace.
A knock at the door made her jump. She came over to it and cautiously opened the doo .....to reveal a tiny Golden Guard.
Golden Guard: Miss Blight. I'm sorry to bother you so early, but Emperor Belos has requested an audience with you.
Amity: Hunter?
The little golden guard flipped up his mask to reveal a child of about ten or so that eerily resembled Hunter, only without the scars.
Golden Guard: I'm sorry, who? I don't know anyone by that name.
Amity simply stares at him, frozen in shock.
The Golden Guard child just shrugs and puts his mask back on.
Golden Guard: Well, I have to go. But a word of advice? Don't keep him waiting. He's...not a patient man.
He walks away.
Amity slams the door shut and tries her best to still her violently beating heart.
Amity: Okay...Okay. I dont know what's going on. But the best thing I can do is just...play along for now.
So, she got dressed, puts on an Emperor's coven robe she found on a hook in her room and prepared to meet with Belos.
To be continued......

Sorry I haven't posted I was transported out of the universe for a bit anyways here's some For The Future textposts
Watching and Dreaming textposts part 1 cause I have a few more
Why is this one of the most beautiful things I have ever read
hope is a skill
My headcannons for the hexside squad design-wise
What I mean by that is what I think the little details adding to their designs are because why not
Luz: Has curlier hair that grows a bit faster than before due to her having long, curly hair when she had her titan form. But she prefers to keep it short. Also her canines are quit sharp now and her eyes glow just a little bit in the dark. And she got that flower tattoo for her dad, as seen in one of the sketches for her future design cause, c'mon, she would so do that.
Gus: As he grew older he began to develop Myopia (condition where you become more nearsighted as you grow, stabilizes in yours 20s) which is why he now wears glasses. He also started growing out his hair to wear dreads as he got inspired by seeing a bunch of humans do it. (Also just another headcannon: He made himself look older in the human realm so he could get a Flapjack tattoo as well, you can see it on his ankle.)
Hunter: The older he gets, the more he looks like Caleb. He also has tried cutting his hair after Belos' death, but it's just always gone back to the same length, so he just decided to keep it that way (same with Raine).
Amity: Likes to dye parts of her hair at a time as she likes how it looks.
Willow: Decided to cut her hair because it always ended up getting in her face whenever she played grudgby, no matter what she did. She also grew taller during puberty, along with gaining more muscle from working out, so she lost some fat as it turned into muscle (and no, this isn't something against her being chubby, this is how bodies work and it looks like that's what happened to her).
Bonus: King: Titans horns can grow with the rest of the horn after being disconnected, as long as it's connected again, kind of like lizards regenerating their limbs (I think this because the missing part of his horn was glued back on and then in the future we see it has grown like the other horn, so I'm just assuming titans are kind of like lizards in that sense.) Also, since titans live for a long time, they grow very slowly, which is why King is still small despite being 12 now.
Remember: There's a good chance none of this is canon, this is just me being goofy and wanting to think about my comfort show after it ended.
The Alanqar family has a new baby to care for, and three very young children, Zeina, Eileen, and Yamen, the oldest of which is 7 years old. They need your help to restore hope and safety to their lives!!

I can't even begin to imagine how 355 bullets managed to go through such a small child, much less how someone or multiple people can be so evil that they do something like that and walk away. Rest in peace, Hind. You deserve it.
The Double standards , The ugliness and filth of this world , The vilest human era throughout the universe
How dare people want to call their family members who are actively dying in multiple horrific ways and constantly being traumatized. That's such a character flaw you guys, major red flag
Good luck in 2023 and Happy New Year everyone! Art by Dana Terrace
M'kay so I actually really like how Dana didn't confirm whether or not Eda and Raine got married, because she's right: A couple doesn't have to be married to prove their love to each other. It's really nice representation. And props to Raine's va for suggesting that.
