Well, there's some speculation that Wei or Wing (whichever one stroked Bolin's cheek) may be gay.
I think it's television that's heteronormative, not necessarily the world of LOK.
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.A pat on the cheek after being rescued doesn't really equal a caress.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.I'm not saying it necessarily has to be indicative of anything. But some viewers can and have taken it that way, and Korrasami has taught me not to be too instantly dismissive of anything that could be considered gay subtext.
In all honesty, when it comes to supposed same-sex subtext Korrasami is something of a proverbial broken clock.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.In that it's only right twice a day?
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."So to speak. I've seen detailed analysis of two characters of the same gender being totally into each other because they shook hands or looked each other in the eye a ton of times, but this time they were right.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.Well, most of that comes from the fact that there are so few actual queer characters in media. We're kinda lowered to grasping at straws to get the representation we crave.
But yeah, Korrasami is one of the very few times fans weren't just grasping at straws.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."You're right, there's a ton of totally unfounded sexual interpretation out there. Like Zuko/Katara, Azula/Suki and Zuko/Azula. I'm just not going to instantly claim there can't be anything to the interpretation of Wei/Wing as gay, seeing as how we know almost nothing about him anyway.
It feels a lot less like subtext if you watch it all again already knowing the outcome.
Oh really when?Ha, I posted an article in the LGBT thread that showed a lot of old photographs of men hugging and holding hands and sitting in each other's laps, because men were able to do that without having to be boyfriends.
The Legend of Korra takes places right at the time when they have cameras, so maybe guys were also allowed to be touchy without being lovers.
As for Bolin and the Bei-fong twin, that was just "Good job Bolin. Who's a good boy?" :p
Took me a minute but fucking christ that fingernails post has me in stitches.
Oh really when?Duude.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.And Ty Lee would have been too if Azula hadn't trimmed.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersBocaj wins.

You're telling me. I don't even have the relevant anatomy and I winced.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.That's my second time reading the fingernails thing, and I just got it (I mean I got the innuendo part the first time, but I just noticed the trimming after "fingernails" were specifically mentioned.) It's canon!
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.OOOOOOOOOOOOH! I got it once I saw the caption in your link.
I'm...not sure if I get it.
Oh God! Natural light!Long fingernails on sensitive things is not normally pleasant.
Azula cut her nails for fingering purposes and let them grow back once Ty Lee left

Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.But then why would she trim them after Ty Lee's betrayal...?
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!She didn't.
They were longer in the last one.
They were still short on the day of Ty Lee's betrayal because it kinda of came to everyone's surprise.
Including Ty Lee's. Especially Ty Lee's.
I remember thinking, way back after Tenzin and Lin's past relationship was revealed, that the Avatar world might not necessarily have the taboo against cousins dating that we do... just that there was no chance Nick would ever even hint at that, so it amounted to the same thing.
There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.
