Figured I’d do something a little different. I’ve discussed my fav Korra ships a lot, so here’s my fav Kuvira ones:
1. Korvira: An obvious addition, I know lol. They’re 100% my OTP and I’m mildly obsessed with them. I’m pretty sure I’ve read every fic for them on AO3, and I routinely search the internet for fanart.
2. Suvira: Idk, this ship is just hot to me. Obviously I prefer AU’s where they’re not related, same with Baavira. But still a fun ship to play around with. I haven’t seen that much fan-fiction about them sadly, but the fanart is excellent.
3. Baavira: I usually ship Kuvira with women, but there’s just something about this ship that has me hooked. Like I mentioned above, I prefer AU’s where they’re not related. I haven’t read much for them, but the fanart I’ve seen is adorable/hot.
4. Mako/Kivira (Idk if they have a ship name): Probably one of the hottest flm ships I’ve ever seen. Can you talk about power couple? Sadly there isn’t much content for this one though.
5. Kuvirasami: Speaking of power couples, my gods. Very hot ship, not to mention a very intriguing pairing. I’m still very new to it though, which is why it’s so low on my list. But the fanart I’ve seen is A+, as was the fanfic I read of them recently.
Please take a moment to pray with me for Anne Celeste Heche, the voice of Suyin Beifong, who was recently in a car accident resulting in severe injuries and coma. Please get better soon Anne! 💚🥺
HELLO ANON I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR FILLING MY INBOX
Okay but I have been thinking about the practical uses of TPD for LoK since its release (I've listened to the entire anthology like 5 times now) and some of my *thoughts* are a little disorganized but here they are as they come.
Kya watching Lin and Tenzin grow together and become a couple has her DOWN BAD and I would like to write something in the future, maybe a one shot drawing inspiration from this.
Fresh Out the Slammer is so Suyin/Kuvira coded, whether it's platonically or romantic idc but to me it is THEM. Specifically after the show when Kuvira is feeling empty and alone and trying to get back into her old life but she has to accept that it's not going to work and she has to start all over again.
I Can Do it With A Broken Heart- immediately thought of Asami. Not because of her relationship with Mako or Korra but because of the relationship with her dad. That was such a painful moment for her in the series and sometimes I feel like it wasn't shown enough, her grief was never really processed and maybe she struggles a bit in the beginning. Of course Korra helps her through it : )
Kyalin The Alchemy need I say more.
I feel like there's big potential for an angsty Lin-centered one shot inspired by Cassandra. I haven't fully developed this yet but it's brewing.
thanK you aIMee is another one I feel like would work well with Kuvira. I could see an angsty piece about her slowly building up to the events of season 4. I feel like maybe she has some growing resentment over her childhood and maybe that gets taken out on Suyin or just the Beifongs in general.
For shits and giggles Korra sing smallest man who ever lived to Zaheer because my guy short as fuck
And for non shits and giggles "Who's Afraid of Little old Me" this is AVATAR KORRA. This song I see in the moment before she takes down Kuvira. Like Kuvira is cocky and is convinced she's already won because she's bested korra multiple times now. And Korra is a force of nature. There's room for a powerful dissonance there between season 3 where she as the Avatar is a target. Zaheer wants to get rid of the avatar to restore chaos because the Avatar is too powerful. Korra doesn't understand this, she would never use her powers for evil, she would never use them to hurt people... until she has to. She IS the Avatar, she is the strongest being in the world, and part of her healing process is claiming that power. I can see a conversation going something like this:.
Korra: I don't get it, Asami. It's like no matter what I do, how many times I show these people I'm on their side... someone is always out to get me. It's like they're afraid of me or something.
Asami: Korra, you are the Avatar. The only thing standing between them and their fucked-up ideal "world", is you.
Korra: I don't want people to be scared of me, I want them to feel safe. To feel like I'm an ally.
Asami: and you are, but... I don't know, Korra. Maybe it's not all bad if some people fear you. If Kuvira, or Zaheer had been more afraid maybe... maybe things would've turned out differently.
And then the bad guy is all "you think you scare me?" And Korra is all
"No, but I should."
(I could also see this trope working well with Rangshi but you requested LOK )
