Fandom Wank

spawn_of_kong @ 5:07pm: So, was just watching The Fellowship of the Ring, with my younger sister sitting nearby, when this happened...

Strider: I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely? That is a rare gift.
Younger Sister: Your face is a rare gift.
Me: *dies*

So yeah, Legend of Korra is done, and I've been on a high since I saw the finale. The creators' blog posts about what happened in the finale are kind of the icing on the queer cake. My brothers and I have been squeeing dementedly over it all, my littlest brother in particular regarding Legend of Korra in general and the finale in particular as, like, artistic perfection. I thought I'd sit down and attempt to write out some of why.

( Spoilery discussion of the queerness of the series. )

Edit: Okay, someone commented on one of my fanfics today and told me that Legend of Korra/its fandom had given them the courage to come out to their mother. This is sufficient to justify the whole Avatar universe in my book....
