<p>You could argue that Mako and Asami's relationship also makes no sense. A pretty girl ran over me on a moped, now we're dating! With Korrasami, Bryke and DiMartino pretended that after Book 2, Korra and Asami became much closer as friends. If they built up their friendship, more in the latter half of Book 2, maybe the relationship could have worked. My personal headcanon is that they became friends after Korra and Mako broke up, resulting in them becoming closer to each other and eventually realizing their feelings for each other. Bryke and DiMartino did not include Korrasami for "fanservice" however, but you also can't argue there were strong moments that alluded towards the pairing. It was two straight guys trying to write a lesbian relationship, but they just don't know how! If they had a female writer, or even and lesbian writer, this couple would make more sense. In my personal opinion, Sukki, and Kyoshi x Rangi (kyrashi?) are the most fleshed out couples in the Avatarverse. They balance each other, have feelings for each other, and generally really do care for one another. </p>

@Blur123 You might not have seen it that way most other fans did. While the show's 3d season was being released the Ho Yay page was mostly about how Korra and Asami's relationship came off as romantic to most fans and over on Deviant Art and Tumblr Korra and Asami's relationship Skyrocketed in popularity with many fans hoping to see them as an Official Couple. <p>And by the end of Change, when Asami took Korra's hand to comfort her it went from hoping it would happen to actually thinking it would happen. Which was only enforced when Balance came out and while the two didn't get much time together as they had a lot going on in their own character arcs, what we did get made it pretty clear that they were falling in love. The way Asami said that she couldn't wait to see Korra again, offering to go with Korra to the South Pole just to keep her company, Korra writing only back to Asami because she feels she's the only one she can talk to and that's just the first two episodes. </p><p>By then came Reunion and Remembrance where we see them flirt and argue like lovers more then friends and yet they still work like a well oiled machine when $#!t hits the fan. Then in Remembrance we get the bit where Asami comes out to offer Korra some tea which is a thinly veiled excuse just to spend time with her (Korra is a fire bender, an airbender and grew up in the south pole, and is wearing short sleeves. I don't think the cold would bother her that much). </p><p>I know several Asexuals who saw this as romantic and were shipping these two so it was there it just wasn't overt and, let's be honest, same-sex relationships in kid shows weren't as common back then as they are today were writers can actually openly express that people of the same sex can have romantic feelings for one another. </p><p>As for neither showing an interest in the same sex, they might have been in the closet and only started to realize their sexuality as they spent more time together which is actually pretty normal for most bi's and gays. </p><p>But that's just my opinion. </p> </i></div>
<p>Deviant and Tumblr are a joke, they are filled with delusional fangirls/boys who ship two people just because they stand next to each other.  </p><p>You're just highlighting all the times they had interactions in book 3/4 and calling them "romantic moments" Interactions between two characters does not = romantic moments. They never flirted like a couple ever, they just talked like normal friends and they were friends at best. Lets be honest (lesbihonest) majority of the homosexuals in the community didn't see moments between Korrasami, they just wanted to ship to happen because they wanted a gay pairing on the show for representations.  </p><p>The whole fandom was in shock when Korrasami happened because it came out of left field, no one saw it coming and majority of the fandom was scratching there head like "bitch where?" like I said, if you have to explain why Korrasami happened and point out the moments, that means Korrasami is a bad "ship". Korrasami should have been obvious from mid-to end of book 4 and we should have seen moments of Korra and Asami questioning their sexuality and figuring out they like girls. Myke and Brian couldn't do that because it was a kid shows, which is exactly why Korrasami shouldn't have happened, if you can't do it right then don't do it at all </p>

<p>What? That isn't true at all. There are MANY shows that have gay pairings (between girls) that I have rooted for and saw coming a mile away because they actually had development. Korrasami was rushed and had no development, it came out of nowhere </p>

<p>I think Masami and Makorra were terrible pairings and did not work one bit, I don't like majority of the ships in TLOK </p>

<p>Why should it have been obvious and why should Korra and Asami be questioning their sexuality. Speaking as someone who is VERY familiar with the LGBT I know several Queers who never question who they liked. Also, it wasn't just Deviant art and Tumblr but TV Tropes, YouTube and the Nickelodeon Web Site on the Forums all saw it coming with many people saying they wanted to see Korrasami become canon because of 3 things. </p><p>1: The Chemistry. Korra and Asami have a number of moments in their body language, facial expressions and just the way they talk to each other that felt like, and in fact Was, growing attraction. </p><p>2: The Placement of both women in frame. Unlike Mako and Korra or Mako and Asami, Korra and Asami are almost always kept in frame of each other and usually within each others personal space. </p><p>3: They actually grow to know one another. Korra's first real bonding moment with Asami was the car race in book one and after Asami chooses to side with Korra over her father Asami is the ONLY person who remains loyal to Korra throughout the rest of the series. </p><p>However, let's just go ahead and cut to the end of this to prevent future arguments. You are allowed your own opinion, I am not trying to change your mind on this relationship or what I see in it. However, the fact remains that even after 4 years Korrasami REMAINS a popular ship, one that many saw coming and excepted with arms wide open. </p><p>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ShipTease/TheLegendOfKorra https://imgur.com/a/zWtFd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU4WoLeQnHk </p><p>And on one finally note, the Turf War comic Trilogy was a best seller with many fans unable to get a copy when the first issue was released. And yes, a big factor of the reason it sold so well was due to it exploring Korra and Asami's relationship which most readers and critics praised. </p>

<p>I actually thought it <i>was </i>fairly obvious, in an understated way, from Book 3 and especially in Book 4. It certainly wasn't quite so in-your-face as, say, Kataang in ATLA, but frankly I consider that an improvement. </p>

Korrasami is the official couple of the avatar universe.
