#some analysis

confirmation is a sorta a big deal to Catholics (???), mainly bcuz we're baptized as babies and confirmation is quiet literally confirming that baby baptism (confirmation is basically just baptism #2). that being said, did ocean ever have a baptism in the first place? her parents don't seem ultra-religious (and you don't have to be catholic to go to a catholic school), so i doubt she was baptized as a baby, which is arguably a bigger deal than confirmation (note on this: i say that confirmation isn't as big a deal because typically the baptism is the most important part, the confirmation is the other thing you have to do *eventually*, there isn't a specific age when a person is supposed to be confirmed---personally, i put it off for as long as i could because i didn't feel like going through the entire thing)

i wonder how ocean convinced St. Cassians (which is, I'm assuming, the catholic church in Uranium) to confirm her if she didn't have a baptism?? maybe she speed-ran her baptism too?? (lmao imagine you had her baptism, confirmation, and bat mitzvah in the same weekend) although, i will say, typically the process of getting confirmed is not a long one---some Catholics do sunday school for a couple of years in preparation for confirmation, but some learn a couple of prayers, do a confession, and then get confirmed. the process of the different rites varies a lot depending on the community your in

tl;dr: confirmation is not rlly /that/ big of a deal, but ocean probably had to have been baptized first, so either her parents had her baptized when she was younger OR she speedran her baptism as well as her confirmation as well as her bat mitzvah (also, i am aware that this is a joke in the show, but i think it's very interesting to think about)

*by vaguely catholic, i mean that i don't really practice catholicism? i guess it could be classified as being culturally catholic, but it is a little bit more than that. in essence, my community as a whole is very lax about religion and it's typically not discussed very often. basically, i don't formally practice catholicism but i do know a whole lot about it, but what i know about it might be specific to my community. take what i say w a grain of salt! i just love ocean a lot and want to talk about her

Oh hey, you actually cared enough to look. :’)

This is trash I have no idea why you would. 

*The waterbenders of the Triple Threats, they bring some form of water supply with them just in case. So do the earthbenders, for situations like these. Korra and Bolin are taking advantage of this.

*Wow look at how terrible the quality is, the sun isn’t doing me any favors today.

*Also, those blades are probably platinum or some other pure metal, that’s why she isn’t bending them.

*metalbends a chain bc that’s normal.

*I do not like that panel in a boat.

*I do not like it with a goat.

*So i covered it up :>

*Korra’s very sensitive to the thought that Asami could be dead. 

o fudge

Hairflip™

*Inappropriate Dad Jokes.

*Do you ever just say things then regret them immediately?

*The sun doesn’t like me.

*Also, I kind of like the idea of Asami being able to handle herself? She got kidnapped and is sorta put in the role of the Damsel in Distress™ and I’d be severely disappointed if she didn’t put up a good fight before she got captured. 

*At the same time, who else thinks Tortuga might have more to him than meets the eye?

*I gave up on life, sorry. 

*coughs* so much smoke get out of there.

* TvT

*Still conflicted on who might say it first but I went with Korra for this one because she’s a little more direct and still a little headstrong, while Asami is more subtle in her ways? That girl is t h i r s t y but still.

*Not related to this comic but I had a dream that Korra pulled a Harry and broke up with Asami in the third Turf Wars because she was scared that she was putting Asami in danger because she was dating the Avatar and BOI was I mad bc Korra??? No??? Just no??

*Then I woke up and was like, thank fudge-

*Dorks <3

*Korra’s really happy because she loves Asami and Asami loves her and it’s a relief to finally say it out loud.

*They might say it in the third comic, I would melt? Guys it’s not too early in their relationship, remember how soon it was when Makorra said I love you? Like a few weeks or a month?

*Besides these queens have loved each other way before they realized their romantic feelings, bc they loved each other as friends and it just kind of evolved? Like they didn’t just see each other and go, aha, this is the person I’m going to be with my whole life. Come on, it took them three years to actually hold hands properly. 

*Bolin and Opal made a bet on who’d say the words first. Opal won.

*Okay I see a lot of people giving crap for Mako for being a bad boyfriend and all, but like,,,stop? I mean, you can dislike him and everything but he’s basically a young adult who makes mistakes. He’s human like us, you can’t tell me you haven’t screwed up real bad at something before? Besides, it’s a learning experience, he’ll learn. 

*And why wouldn’t Mako be supportive of korrasami? They’re his two best friends and they matter a lot to him, he just wants them to be happy. He’s not a soulless monster. He’s actually just very human. Not all characters are perfect, guys. Mako’s a perfect example of this. 

My kidsss....

There are, quite a lot of things I dislike about this, to the character dynamics and how I sorta undermined the bad guys out of laziness, but mainly it’s just a fun thing to pass time and experiment on, and at the end of the day, I’m kind of happy I actually managed to get it done.
