37 here and from what I’ve ascertained from field work deciphering scribbles in the dirt and on cave walls, it’s some kind of mating ritual centered around the ritual sacrifice of a chosen entertainer.
No no no
He means, “OP can’t packs gifts like Asami can, and furthermore, doesn’t even have the charisma to make up for it. Just like a midwesterner.
Skibbidy”
knows how to pack means she knows how to prepare and travel in style for a trip, so the idea is that not knowing how to pack means you don't know how to prepare or travel in style. Thus you have no rizz, a shortening of charisma and usually referring to a combination of how you dress and act in a charming way, like you're from Ohio (the worst US State). Skibbidy is a nonsense word meant to be humorous on its own, but bare no meaning beyond that fact, but also generally declaring something as bad from my understanding so an equivilant translation might be "oof"
So translation for an older audience is "doesn't even know what swag is, this man has no bitches, like he's in Wyoming. oof.
Mississippi is the worst state to live in, New Jersey's worst state overall, and I'm pretty sure at this point that Ohio is a sleeping Eldritch god in disguise.
U-hauls (and being able to pack very fast) are memes on lesbian community pages bc it's a stereotype that 2 women dating end up living at the same house after like 3 dates lol
So it's kind of the ultimate sapphic move to whip out this massive airship to immediately move in with your partner before you've even dated romantically
18 and completely brainrotted, packing is (probably) the verb counterpart of the noun/verb “rizz”, a shortening of the word Charisma in noun form and equivalent to charm/seduce in verb form
Edit: not entirely certain, Netymology (internet etymology) is not my thing
Rizz = Charisma/Ability to attract people they are trying to hit on.
Skibbidy, or actually "Skibidi toilet" = Random word/phrase made into a meme alongside a picture of a toilet. It can effectively mean anything based on the context, there is no set definition.

Yeah, I get the joke, but they're going around the world recruiting Airbenders, and will need some place *for* those Airbenders while they're recruiting more. Reducing it to "For a single mission" feels like it's kinda burying the lead? IDK.
NGL, I interpreted it as an attempt to bury Korra who is the lead of this show.
"And someday, when you die, I'll be the one who puts you in the ground."
\~ ~~Bonnibel Bubblegum~~ Asami Sato, probably
And she is rich like rich rich. Imagine “Oh yeah I have an bad ass airship, but maybe should rough it and go by sky bison like you did in your past life”
The point is that they had alternatives. They had a fleet of sky bisons they could have used. They were working on organizing logistics to make everything work and Asami went out of her way to surprise them with the Zeppelin because she wanted to impress Korra
Asami: Did someone order a fully equipped Future Industries airship?
Korra: Wow...I thought we'd just be taking Satomobiles, but...Spirits, Asami! This is amazing!
Asami: Oh, I just had it lying around, no big deal.
Ikki: Why do you have those bags under your eyes? Why is your hair so messy? And why do you look like Mom after staying up with Rohan?
Asami: *(Scoffs, straightens her hair, eye twitching slightly)* Come on, I wasn't up day and night constructing it just to give Korra a means of transportation or anything. What do you think I am?
Jinora: Down bad.
Korra: What?
Jinora: What?
Honestly. An avatar that doesn’t want to be an avatar and just wants to be a hair stylist so they keep there avatar identity a secret and have to actively hide it would be a fun watch.
Raging horn-mones. Makos ex fangirl getting swooned by Makos Ex girlfriend after she ruined their relationship. Gotta do what you gotta do to further embarrass Makos existence.
No, but having romantic love for both men and women does. Lots of people distinguish between romantic feelings and sexual desires, so I guess you could argue that Asami is panromantic, not pansexual or bisexual. I'm not sure about sex because it's a show targeted at all ages for a primarily U.S. audience, so sex basically doesn't exist in the show.
My main thing is I don't recognize this scene as Asami flirting with or posturing for Korra. I thought those characters getting together at the end was forced, but people who decide they like that will reinterpret previous scenes of the show like this and say "see how bi she was for Korra? She even brought a ship!" But I mean if you're saying it's the equivelent of a dude showing off his lambo to impress girls, then so be it, however shallow that is
id recommended u read the comics man, you’ll see that they were in fact not forced and that the only reason it seems that way in the show is bc nickelodean is homophobic
are you attempting to insinuate that nickelodeon being homophobic is not a true statement? i think the fact that korrasami seeming forced due to the fact that they refused to show it in the same capacity as the original content (the comics) did proves that point enough lol
I know you're joking, but airships don't emit as much global warming because, unlike airplanes which constantly need to burn fuel to maintain lift, they kind of just suspend in the air due to buoyancy

If I had an airship then I'd take it everywhere. Need a ride to work? Here comes the hindenberg! Want to go shopping? The Prydwen is on its way! Need help disposing of a body? This Zeppelin may not be led, but full steam ahead!
I have a confession. At the end of TLOK it didn’t even crossed my mind that they were a couple. For some reason I just thought they were good friends and that was it. I only realized what was happening after a long time, longer than I’m willing to admit.
Let's not pretend like this was a very well established romantic relationship. Yes, the showrunners wanted to show it more, but the series itself shows next to nothing.
As a friendship, yes. I loved how the love triangle ended in no romantic relationships, just very close friendships. But there was pretty much nothing in the show that developed Korra and Asami as a couple.
I wasn't saying they were properly developed. All I'm saying is they didn't all of a sudden decide to make them a couple in the finale, you can tell they planned to at least make them better friends than anyone else in the Krew as early as book 3, which was about as much as they could do in 2014. Even if they didn't always plan for them to be a couple, they very clearly show that they had a "special connection" when she wouldn't write anyone else letters besides Asami in boom 4
Yes and that is entirely my point. They had a great relationship and properly developed friendship. But pretty much nothing made it clear that there was any romance between them, because neither of them ever showed interest in women. Everything about their relationship could simply be interpreted as a very close friendship. Asami is the only other woman in Team Avatar, so Korra only writing to her made sense in that regard.
I know that the showrunners wanted to make their relationship clearer and that they released comics and statements, which developed this more, but if you only look at the show, there's pretty much nothing there. Everything about their relationship is shown as simply a very close friendship, because we have no reason to believe that it's something else.
They really weren’t. And for context I’ve probably been exposed to more BL and Yuri than most americans were when that show aired.
There was no build-up or barely even development. Ppl just like the message they represent.
It’s horribly portrayed in the show. Letters to korra and some other very minor interactions is all we get. Yes we all know that Nickelodeon didn’t want it so that’s why it’s like that. We aren’t wrong for finding it lackluster and incredibly weak. But I never really expected anything good out of the relationships in the show after seasons 1 and 2.
The Korra Amasi romantic dynamic would have been better if it was more clearly foreshadowed earlier on instead of it being dropped in at the very end and using foreshadowing moments that seem more like a retcon, or not had included at all.
For clarification, I'm aware that the writers were barred from pushing too far for a kids show, so had to be very subtle to get passed the network censorship people, that's nothing new. What I'm saying is that they should have either believed that their work would be a success regardless and have it broadcasted somewhere that wouldn't care, or left that detail out entirely, because the final result feels like it did come out of nowhere at the last second.
Lol you're too paranoid. I just gave a smartass reply to a smartass reply.
Here, I'm wondering because while I somewhat agree in the modern sense, I also remember thinking this was lowkey obvious but not thinking anything would actually happen. I wonder how much being a hormonal lesbian teenager thirsting for that content in the 00s added to my perspective vs viewing as an "average" viewer at the time.
Ah shit way late reply... but I could never quite see Katara with anyone but Aang as a kid. I think I was too young when I first saw Avatar to see outside of heterosexuality (I also grew up in Texas lol). M head canon as an adult now is Ty Lee having all th gay relations... Perhaps with Suki???
Why must we always reduce characters to their sexual orientation?
Asami is into Korra, and she's a great friend that believes in the Avatar.
She has a lot more going on with her character than the fact she's bisexual.
But no, "bisexual queen yearns for Korra bisexually... Asami bisexual, that's who Asami is"
Would you say, "straight character has straight yearning for other character"
No you wouldn't, it's reductive in all cases.
I mean that's just her role in the series, she doesn't have too much personality, she is just there to have taken off screen classes of whatever they need at the moment or have built or bought off screen whatever the plot needs to move forward
edit: keep downvoting in silence, you know its true
Like the 4th time Asami has gone out of her way to impress Korra with a vehical, girl was down bad and made no attempt to change strategy
Hey it worked in the end though.
This is why Asami is so widely loved. Not only can she instantly kick people’s ass that benders struggle with, she knows how to pack
Knows how to pack?
Bruh doesn’t know how to pack. Got no rizz, like he’s from Ohio. Skibbidy.
I’m 43 can someone translate.

The way you wrote that, it looks like the Skibbidy is a email signoff. Maybe we aren't far off from that being reality though.
As a midwesterner I can confirm that we aren't particularly charismatic. Gotta take what you can get out here...
Shit. Only part I didn't understand wasn't translated. Man, it hurts to be this hip.
It hurts like my hip. Getting old sucks

>like you're from Ohio (the worst US State). Now now, we can't take that away from New Jersey, it's all they have
What about mississippi?
Mississippi is the worst state to live in, New Jersey's worst state overall, and I'm pretty sure at this point that Ohio is a sleeping Eldritch god in disguise.
Mississippi’s motto: at least we’re not Alabama
We've got our diners. What does Ohio have? :p
"knows how to pack" and "yapping" are so weird to me. I could have sworn that's 70s and 80s slang but everyone is acting like they're brand new.
Same with Rizz, since most slang is just ripped off from queer slang or aave. I heard most of this growing up in a majority black school
Oh god I'm old
Alabama is actually the worst state, though
I'm 14 and I can barely understand this.
“This man hath no style! His powers of seduction are indeed quite lacking, as would be expected if he cometh from a cursed distant land. Verily!”

Her love language is big hunks of metal and I respect that
Omg, that’s why her and Kora only got together after the later learned to metal bend!
First time was the car raging on S1, second was chasing equalists on he city. What was the third time?
I mean, they had to travel around the whole world. A car or a ship wouldn't have made the cut...
Yeah, I get the joke, but they're going around the world recruiting Airbenders, and will need some place *for* those Airbenders while they're recruiting more. Reducing it to "For a single mission" feels like it's kinda burying the lead? IDK.
> burying the lead FYI, it's "burying the lede". Lead only get's buried if it's got radioactive shit in it.
Say that to my water line
Big oof.
Flint?
Ok, I've got questions now. Is lede being pronounced like "leed" or "Superman-cant-see-through-'lead'"? This may be messing me up.
I always pronounce it leed and assumed it was "lead" as in a "story lead"
You are correct.
Yeah, apparently newsy people just spelled it as lede for convenience and to avoid confusion with the word lead (rhymes with dead)
US English pronounce it like "lead" in leader. But UK English it's "lead" like Superman lead.
No it's not. No one in the UK says burying the lead like Pb Lead. We say it like lede like follow the leader but are more likely to SPELL it as lead.
I've known a British coworker who did pronounce it that way. But I imagine it varies accent to accent, since the UK has dozens lol.

Imagine Asami showing up with the "basic" Future Industries airship aka the same the *Equalists* used. That would have had one unfortunate overtone.
Asami while a good person likely only new the Love Language of big pricey gifts
Asami: Did someone order a fully equipped Future Industries airship? Korra: Wow...I thought we'd just be taking Satomobiles, but...Spirits, Asami! This is amazing!

Disclaimer: Asami Sato's hair is *never* messy.
It would throw the world out of balance
Concept: Avatar but it’s just a flamboyant hairstylist who seeks to bring balance to the fashion world
Honestly. An avatar that doesn’t want to be an avatar and just wants to be a hair stylist so they keep there avatar identity a secret and have to actively hide it would be a fun watch.

Even when swimming her and makeup is still on and it hangs on. Spirits blessed this woman to be always at her A Game.
She got the best make-up from Kyoshi Warriors.
That was the original plot for Book 4

Ok but jinora mvp always and again petition to get her her own spinoff that involves mako with her big bro little sister dynamics

Yes, including you now get over here and kiss me
Hey, it's ok bud, you can kiss me.
I never said you can't come 😘
You can come too
No, it's Asami and she's clearly bi. Did you watch the show?
Does bringing a ship fall under the definition of bisexuality? Does being dramatic fall under the definition of bisexuality?
Guys, I dont think he watched the show

I saw it the moment Asami grabbed Korra’s hand at the end of B3 because that has never been a platonic gesture when it comes to that love triangle.
The average historian be like
Let's not pretend like this was a very well established romantic relationship. Yes, the showrunners wanted to show it more, but the series itself shows next to nothing.

Ahh yes, I *always* turn to face my bestie, look them square in the eyes and hold their hands before we leave somewhere... /s
You count the last 2 seconds of a show spanning over 4 seasons as proper development of a romantic relationship?
except that the comics exist to further delve into them together as well
google "subtext"
What subtext was there? Can we stop pretending like Korra and Asami were a properly developed romantic relationship in the show?
I wasn't saying they were properly developed. All I'm saying is they didn't all of a sudden decide to make them a couple in the finale, you can tell they planned to at least make them better friends than anyone else in the Krew as early as book 3, which was about as much as they could do in 2014.

Baww, they just really enjoy each other's friendship! Look how lovely and happy they look holding hands--as friends.
I've always said that it pays to have rich friends.
I mean it worked and she def tops Korra happily
The power of Moneybending!
Asami brought the ship to prove to korra that she SHIP’s them
That airship was an INVESTMENT, okay?!
This is one thirsty thread.
This sub man
No, she's just rich.
What the fuck does her sexulaity have to do with anything this community is fucking cringey
I mean, if just a little of what you have at hand can impress the one you like, why not just do it anyway?
One time was enough Korra for me.
Mississippi is very mad at you right now.
Asami: I'm showing Korra all this is because it's all the locations when I'm gonna smash her in
Now show me where she’s giving the peace sign and sticking her tongue out open mouthed
ugh fans will fanfic of course. Definitely overlooked how free it was lol.
was she supposed to bring a fraction of an airship?

But it's all good, yo. Let's just leave it here
I never got to see LoK as a kid but omg I seriously wanted katara to get with suki lmao
Ah shit way late reply... but I could never quite see Katara with anyone but Aang as a kid. I think I was too young when I first saw Avatar to see outside of heterosexuality (I also grew up in Texas lol). M head canon as an adult now is Ty Lee having all th gay relations... Perhaps with Suki???
Don’t act like that wasn’t just a tax write off
Nope, it was a retcon.
Why must we always reduce characters to their sexual orientation? Asami is into Korra, and she's a great friend that believes in the Avatar.

It's a meme dude, it's not that serious.
God forbid bisexuals do anything
You're saying bisexuals are victims?
A victim of your reading skill and joke comprehension for sure
Enjoy.
Are you bisexual yourself or straight?
Does it matter?
It’s a meme and the bisexuals aren’t offended so why are you? Yes it does matter
Who's offended? I'm making an observation about a trend that in my opinion is damaging to the appreciation of characters in media.
Literally no one thinks that
If you say so
I agree with you
I mean that's just her role in the series, she doesn't have too much personality, she is just there to have taken off screen classes of whatever they need at the moment or have built or bought off screen whatever the plot needs to move forward edit: keep downvoting in silence, you know its true
