I seriously haven't had this much trouble watching an episode since The Ember Island Players. I just- I have this horrible reflexive embarrassment watching dumb shit happen

Goodbye to the house and goodbye to the land goodbye to the babes that I never could claim oh, but never a thought for the man left on shore
"-for spirit's my nature and name," she hisses, lips drawn back from razor-shell teeth. No need for the cloak he holds back- her skin grows sleek and dark as she slips past his fingers, lost to the portal's light.

Korra has the radio set on the edge of the steps for evening training, where it ferries the voice of the city out to even Air Temple Island's remote, quiet shores. She doesn't get arguments as long as it helps her practice her forms, and wouldn't you know, she's right there, stalking in circles to the beat. The music is bouncy and street-lit bright- right up until it crackles to a stop.
"Hello, my fellow Equalists..."
And the chill that goes through her isn't just for the words, the words meant only for her, or the sheer weight of what she's got to fight against, no.
It's those words in that voice, that voice that first told her of spirit stories and polar-dogs, of flutterbats and spiderflies and heroes without princes. The voice that never rose in anger, and she'd raged at her mother's uneasy silence when they'd left, as only a three-year-old could...

This has somehow just this moment glommed onto another couple of ideas and spun into something truly bizarre. Senna shacks up with Noatak for a brief time during her wild and crazy years, has Korra. Noatak is dark, driven, and haunted by what was done to him and what he was made to do by Yakone. This eventually bubbles into a stew that Senna does not like the taste of, and she breaks it off/lets him go to deal with his 'cause', meets Tonraq in exile, and proceeds to have a very happy life with him, even if bb!Korra is understandably upset at first

Oh, oh- and from there, Korra's swept into training and an uncomfortable level of public scrutiny, plus allegations of cheating if she helped win any matches, plus all of a sudden having *press* to manage, and then at a high-society function she meets Miss Asami Sato again. Girl friend/girlfriend ensues.

Because I like to share my pain.
And also, because I think it takes advantage of that sort of film-noir/Batman thing that the setting was just begging for. I really wanted to see a lot of figuring out this whole city-living thing and dealing with the effects of the triads, the 'living it up' versus the dark, dirty streets that can drag you down if you're not careful.

Plus yeah- I really wanted to see that vigilante justice thing get explored, plus have her in the thick of things where she could actually *learn* something about non-benders and what they go through, if she should choose to pay attention.
