#senraq

this isn't usually an LOK blog, but when it is, it's a "figuring out how I want to draw young Tonraq and Senna" blog specifically.

I have very niche headcanons about how they met and got married. LOL

Korrasami previously defeated: Azuki

Korra: Mom sorry I didn’t meant to-

Senna: It’s ok dear, I know you wanted to have fun that day. I understand.

Senna: Besides, it’s not like your father and I just slept either.

Korra: MOM I DIDN’T NEED TO KNOW THAT!!!

Bryke you cowards, let Senna and Tonraq have fun.

Katrina.. Your mind oml. 

I can imagine it now, Tonraq, who has been told many stories of his dad making a betrothal necklace and presenting it to his mom, and who has also fantasized about making his own necklace for his future wife. He definitely doesn’t have a list of designs in his room.

But then he goes to the SWT, and while he doesn’t see many betrothal necklaces, he sees one on Katara, and since he doesn’t really know the history behind it, he assumes that Aang gave it to her. 

And then he gets together with Senna, and its going great! Tonraq has been working on creating a necklace just for her. 

And then the day comes, he pulls her to the place where they actually started talking, and presents the necklace to her with a hopeful smile. 

And poor Senna, she just stands there for a bit, before asking what it is.

Tonraq just quickly explains the necklace, and Senna just stares at him before saying, That’s interesting, i don’t think that’s how it goes here, before explaining that they didn’t really do marriage. 

They kinda switch the conversation, and when they go back, Tonraq actually goes to Katara and asks her for advice. 

So I did a bit of research on Inuit marriage and I read that most couples started to live together without marriage and were considered married after the birth of their first child. Please please please correct me if i’m wrong. 

And I think that’s how Tonraq and Senna would proceed :D
