@spiketwister3000 Hello again! I'm actually a woman . Thank you so much for these messages, they always bring a smile to my face. I'm glad you enjoyed The Rebellion Within, I'm actually re-reading it myself and I must admit it's quite an adventure. I found myself reacting to it as if I didn't write the plot myself lmao. I agree with you, Korra and Asami will always protect each other; and I'm sure Asami would absolutely throw hands for Korra any time of the day. The student question...well... when you get to college you meet interesting people and it's surprising how many ask professors questions like this. Maybe some are unintentional and in the original Epilogue Korra actually defended said student but then I was like "nah if I hate when they do that irl I'm gonna make them hate it here as well".
As for Mako... I actually love Mako. I think he had a really good character development on the series and he was amazing and supportive in the comics. Which is why I wanted him to not hate on Korra or Asami for being bisexual, but be more worried about reputations and the social eye. It's very justified too. In 1920's same sex relationships were really frowned upon and during Franco's dictatorship they were hated. It was cause for arrest, torture and conversion therapy. I wanted to portray Mako scared of that happening to the both of them. His end was really hard for me to write because of this. I think I'll always defend Mako until the day I die lmao.
Again, thank you so much for reading and being here. Your messages mean a lot! I'm glad you enjoy what I offer!
