Avatar fandom: a brief, entirely accurate, not remotely fictional timeline
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 RepublicCity 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.
Actual proper news, or at least handy links to same, can be found here.
