Whatever, Nevermind

Kuvira be like: "Su, can I be gay too?" Hahahahha 😂

Sorry Bataar Jr., Korra and Asami showed her the right path 👩‍❤️‍👩

Let's pull up a chair, grab a cup of Uncle Iroh's jasmine tea, and keep it profoundly real for a second. The Legend of Korra fandom is an absolute masterpiece of character design, but your choice of romantic hyper-fixation says a terrifying amount about your psychological blueprint.

Don't take any of this personally. This is a safe space for fun, self-reflection, and entertainment! But as a neurodivergent media analyst who spends a lot of time observing internet culture, I looked at this character roster and realized that half of you are looking for emotional safety, and the other half just desperately want an authoritative cartoon character to step on your neck upon request.

Korra: You're into women who are very feisty, tough strong-willed, fiery, unapologetically sassy, spunky, caring, loyal, and have well-toned athletic physiques. And you want a woman who can not only kick your ass, but can also step on you upon request.

Bolin: You're into guys who are very easygoing, friendly, laid-back, and that can make you laugh and cheer you up on a bad day.

Mako: You're into guys who are reserved, calm, aloof, responsible, level-headed, clever, driven, passionate, yet caring and protective. You also want to be stepped on.

Asami Sato: You're into women who have it all; Beauty, Brains, and Brawn. And you want to be stepped on.

Tenzin: Either you are into older men, or you have daddy issues.

Lin Beifong: You've watched crime/cop show with tough, no-nonsense, badass, authoritative, yet fair women that you're attracted to, such as Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU, Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds, Ziva David from NCIS, etc. Plus, you're into older women, and you want to be stepped on upon request.

Kya ll: You're into older women. Especially if they give off queer vibes in a positive way.

Bumi ll: You're into older men who give off the goofy uncle energy.

General Iroh ll: You had a crush on Zuko (especially with Dante Basco's voice), and you think that firebenders are the most attractive.

Tonraq: You're into older men, and you have daddy issues.

Varrick: You're into men who are very over-the-top and are a genius at the same time.

Wei and Wing: You're into good-looking and very attractive twin siblings.

Zhu Li: You're into women who are high intelligent, quiet, and are forces to be reckoned with.

Suyin Beifong: You're into older women, and you have mommy issues. You also want to be stepped on.

Opal: You're into women who are very sweet and assertive.

Kuvira: You just wanna be stepped on.

For the fourth year in a row now, it's time for Small Fandom Summer! Join me for Small Fandom Summer! It's real easy to play:

Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3

Post it to AO3

And then you've done it! You've made a thing and you've diversified the fandom ecosystem! You're basically a hero.

Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to write for has fewer than that. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if I don't want to post it to AO3? What if I don't even have an AO3 account? Can I post it somewhere else? A: Wherever! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. This is not meant to be restrictive; this is meant to be inspirational. Create the fanworks you want to see in the world. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Bring joy.

And if you want to give yourself some silly little Steam-like achievement badges to commemorate your accomplishments, well, you're in luck! I've made a bunch of them right here! You can grab the ones that apply to your work and paste them wherever you like and feel good about what you've done. Here's a few of my favorites:

So you see? This is meant to be silly and fun.

There's nowhere to sign up. There's nothing to commit to. There's zero pressure. You just do it if you do it, and don't if you don't. But if you do want to play (yay!), tag your stuff with #small fandom summer so we can all swoop in and appreciate everyone else's efforts.

Hey !! I wanna do this !! I'm still a noob in drawing and need to practice (don't worry @appalesbian and @a1are I don't forget about your asks from last time xX)

So ask me any characters from my fandoms (for reminder: Avatarverse, Scarlet Hollow, Stardew Valley, Paper Girls, South Park)

I prefer to draw girls as usual but I can accept boys since I need to practice

Send an ask, a private message or let a comment on this post to request a character 💕💕

A couple scenes from a little gay vampire story I was kicking around a couple years ago! I sometimes do little pencils-only scenes for things and never post them. But I was looking back at these and was like why not? They're cute!
