...I fight the ones that fight me
Rambling thoughts on ATLA and Legend of Korra

Warning: This may not be very coherent and I’m truly sorry.

All this new information coming out on Legend of Korra has really brought me back to the times I would obsess over Avatar: The Last Airbender. And looking back now, and seeing the new developments on Korra, I can’t even describe this, I don’t know, inspiration I feel. We don’t usually see great representation of Asians in Western media, and even fewer for Indigenous/First Nation people. So ATLA was one of those things that I really held to great regard, and still do. I can’t even describe my feelings right now, seeing all this new development on Legend of Korra. I really can’t. It’s that feeling knowing that little kids can watch TV and see people that they can relate to, seeing epic stories and themselves in these characters. Thinking of all the possibilities that could be made. I can’t describe how happy that makes me. I want to cry. I want to rejoice and really just can’t wait to see this in it’s full.

At the same time, I can’t describe how utterly devastated I was during the development of The Last Airbender movie I can’t even go into detail how much it made me so upset. And honestly, I wish there were more representations of South and Southeast Asians in the show. But, right now, I can’t be happier and I hope that this franchise can pave the way for more media for people like us.
