I’ve been writing a fanfiction “Etxarren” for the ol’ anime, NOIR. In order from top to bottom: Riki Araki (original character), Kirika Yumura, and Mireille Bouquet. The last two are the show’s original protagonists--I tried to amp up their looks while maintaining their iconic, yet simple colors and clothes. I have 2 more characters coming up, Audriane Dupont and Sakuya Takagi.

Summary of “Etxarren”: Noir must train the next generation in order to be “freed from the title of Noir”.

Vel (full name = ”Velocity Pane”) and Nahlah Zarazoga, the main characters of my life-time personal project, “Midnighters”. I keep updating these two, I need to stop and move on to other characters lol. 

Story: Vel, parkour courier, is recruited by mysterious organization, inFLUX, to become the new parkour police of crime-infested Sun Shard City.

Modern Disney Girls! Who’s gonna be next?

You choose!

EDIT: Updated the post to put all new Gilrs in one place!

EDIT: Updated the Pocahontas picture!

Modern Disney Girl - MERIDA!

Why short hair?

Merida was a young, teenage rebel. In the movie, she was always against the way of princess lifestyle. And her hair show this very good - in her times woman should braid her hair, cover them - but she always had this “mess” on her head.

What would modern Merida do? She would cut her hair, because many of people would say to her - you have such a lovely, curly, red hair, you should be so proud, don’t shave it, cut it…

But she would surely do that. That fits her character.

Korrasami is GREAT Writing

Warning: It’s long.

The representation of queer love stories among main characters in media is incredibly limited, and when told, a relatively recent phenomena. Sure, you’ve got your But I’m a Cheerleader’s here and there. But for the most part, these are love stories that simply aren’t told. It’s not to say heterosexual romances aren’t compelling or enjoyable; of course they are. But there are also certain common tropes, or at the very least “signals” that we are used to seeing portrayed: the contentious banter, the light touches, the puppy-dog eyes.  Take Firefly…Mal grabs Inara’s shoulder for 4 seconds in the pilot episode and it was one of the most charged moments on TV. We all knew what was up.

But with queer romance, it’s different. It’s not necessarily more subtle, but most of us aren’t used to looking for these signals, or the signals get misinterpreted. This is especially true of relationships between two women, because in our society, women in platonic friendships still tend to show some kind of physical intimacy with one another…hugging, hand-holding, etc., which is behavior that we typically don’t see between two men in a platonic relationship. There’s also the stereotype of women being “more emotional” and prone to talk about their feelings with one another, so for many, a romantic relationship between two women may not look dissimilar to a friendship. Even when clear romantic cues happen to be there, most of us are inclined to write them off as just a friendship, because of the unlikeliness of canonized queer romances.

Korrasami is no different. This is what Bryan was getting at, when he said that people who felt the love story was just “thrown in” or “not developed” may have been watching with a “hetero lens.” I personally don’t think it’s even indicative of that…it’s just that the perceived improbability of a canon Korrasami may have clouded viewers to the very well-scripted romantic arc. Even I was guilty of this; while I certainly began shipping the two in S3 (declaring that their ship was sailing after that finale even), I still strongly felt it would remain in the realm of subtext. I don’t think it’s as simple as heterocentrism; there’s a lot of really complicated factors in our society that may cause us to overlook or downplay the likelihood of a romantic arc between two women.

Korrasami forever! A tribute to the best animated TV series, The Legend of Korra, for reminding the world of the different kinds of people and different kinds of love there are out there--and that it's totally ok to express love, in any form, with whomever you wish...:) 

Nowwww someone help me decide which one I should decide on lol

Korrasami Confirmed

Now that Korra and Asami’s final moment is out in the world, it seems like an appropriate time to express how I feel about it. I didn’t want to say anything right away so the audience could experience the finale for themselves.

The main themes of the Avatar universe have always revolved around equality, justice, acceptance, tolerance, and balancing differing worldviews. In subtle and maybe not so subtle ways, Avatar and Legend of Korra have dealt with difficult subjects such as genocide, child abuse, deaths of loved ones, and post traumatic stress. I took it as a complement when Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair called the show subversive. There were times even I was surprised we were able to delve into the really tough stuff on a children’s TV network. While the episodes were never designed to “make a statement”, Bryan and I always strove to treat the more difficult subject matter with the respect and gravity it deserved.

And over the years we’ve heard from numerous fans, in person and online, how Avatar and Korra have influenced their lives for the better or helped them overcome a life struggle or setback. I am always humbled when people share their personal stories with us and I am grateful that my love for telling stories has been able to help people in some small way. So while Avatar and Korra were always meant to be entertaining and engaging tales, this universe and its characters also speak to the deeper humanity in all of us, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, culture, nationality, or sexual orientation.

Our intention with the last scene was to make it as clear as possible that yes, Korra and Asami have romantic feelings for each other. The moment where they enter the spirit portal symbolizes their evolution from being friends to being a couple. Many news outlets, bloggers, and fans picked up on this and didn’t find it ambiguous. For the most part, it seems like the point of the scene was understood and additional commentary wasn’t really needed from Bryan or me. But in case people were still questioning what happened in the last scene, I wanted to make a clear verbal statement to complement the show’s visual one. I get that not everyone will be happy with the way that the show ended. Rarely does a series finale of any show satisfy that show’s fans, so I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the positive articles and posts I’ve seen about Korra’s finale.

I’ve already read some heartwarming and incredible posts about how this moment means so much for the LGBT community. Once again, the incredible outpouring of support for the show humbles me. As Tenzin says, “Life is one big bumpy ride.” And if, by Korra and Asami being a couple, we are able to help smooth out that ride even a tiny bit for some people, I’m proud to do my part, however small it might be. Thanks for reading.
