“A common soul and a common heart… which is being shared by two split halves, one of Korra and one of Asami.” OMFG KORRASAMI CANON SOULMATES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
// text for those who can’t read it [ It was an honor to work with brilliant artist Sachin Teng for this cover. Every time I’ve worked with Sachin in the past I’ve always been blown away by her copious use of visual metaphor and deep symbolism. as well as the extensive thought that goes into the compositions. For this first cover sketch, she noted that “everything is being split apart while simultaneously being held together by a common soul and a common heart, literally… the Republic City Spirit Portal, the double helix in the beam of light, and all the spirit vines and foliage of the Spirit Wilds… in the shape of the human vascular system, which is being shared by two split halves, one of Korra and one of Asami.” In the unused second sketch “Korra and Asami | are | almost… Spirits themselves, their bodies passing through each other” with the vines and other objects providing “an allegory for humans and Spirits no longer having boundaries between each other and learning to coexist and cohabitate.” ]

If y’all wanna know the crux of why a lot of the fandom hate the comics just look at the response to Patterns in Time. That comic was:
- Advertised as anthology from the moment it was announced
- Stated to feature multiple stories with different LOK characters
- Not part of the main storyline of comics (despite still being canon)
And yet there are dozens of complaints I’ve seen about how it “wasn’t focused enough on Korrasami/Korra/etc.”
The comics are killed by poor, uniformed, and often outlandish expectations or predictions that fans tell themselves will happen until they accept nothing else. Patterns in Time, being a harmless anthology collection of small stories, isn’t even immune to this. The fans completely misread ANY and ALL information about the comic, had several delays’ worth of time to figure that out, and STILL got angry because of their own misjudgment.
Does this apply to the main-line comics? Abso-fucking-lutely. People are so sickeningly attached to their own expectations as to what will happen to characters (especially secondary, non-main protagonist characters) that when any aspect of the canon story differs, its “bad writing.” Even more similar is people who legitimately thought it was a fatal flaw to North and South Part 1 that Aang was on the cover despite not being in the comic. It’s easy to have realistic expectations if you’re paying any attention at all. Unfortunately, that’s not the forte of this fandom.

Something awful just occurred to me
We learn in Patterns in Time that Yasuko was an architect and she most likely designed some buildings in Republic City
So not only did Kuvira kill Asami's dad but she also destroyed buildings Yasuko designed
