But firstly, if you're not averse to Legend of Korra spoilers, and you haven't already, I strongly recommend going and reading the LJ comments to my post yesterday. (Assuming, of course, that LJ is working.)

And on a related note, certain people (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) may benefit from the Mandarin translation of "melody".

Anyway, this was my morning yesterday.

Approx 9am: A photograph of the new Korra poster is revealed, featuring Korra and two attractive teenage boys, one an earthbender, one a firebender.

9.01: Fandom starts shipping them.

9.20: Tweets from the panel at Comic-Con reveal they are brothers.

9.21: Eight tenths of fandom stop shipping them. A much smaller percentage of people start.

9.30: It is revealed that the chief of police in Republic City Union is Toph's daughter.

9.31: A horde of rabid Tophzula shippers I start to worry about my OTP.

9.20: It is established beyond doubt that Chief Bei Fong is Tophzula's Sokka-baster-baby. So that's okay, then.

9.40: The revelation that Tenzin has a wife and children causes three Tenzin/Korra shippers to flounce.

9.45: The revelation that Tenzin is the youngest of three causes eighteen Zutara shippers to flounce.

9.50: The first Korra/Mako v Korra/Bolin shipwar commences.

FIVE HOURS LATER: Fandom begins to ship Korra/Bei Fong.

TWELVE HOURS LATER: Less awesome parts of fandom wonder how a blind woman can have a child. They are smacked down.

THIRTEEN HOURS LATER: Even less awesome parts of fandom complain that Korra looks like a lesbian. They are smacked down.

THIRTY-SIX HOURS LATER: The first Korra/Bei Fong prompt goes up at the kink meme. Yes, that was mine.
