One of my favorite things about Korrasami is that the aspects of the ship’s canon development that are usually the most heavily criticized are the parts that queer folks point to as the strongest and most relatable. Like. I’m sure it wasn’t even intentional on Bryke’s part because it is just so intimately accurate.

Please. Take it from a girl who slowly fell in love w her friend lmao. It’s painfully subtle from the outside looking in. It’s hesitant af even after it’s silently deemed Inevitable or even official by both parties. Explicit Romantic Contact™ means jack shit next to the gradual process of becoming each others’ main support system (read: Asami being present for a Tenzin Talk in 408. Those tiny shifts are huge, and I think that moment is frequently overlooked bc it’s in the clip episode). 

So like. Listen to the gays when they say they felt it coming, even if they didn’t believe it would ever happen, because a lot of queer romance develops well outside the conventions we’re used to seeing, both in media and in real life, and K/A is, imo, a really strong example of that phenomenon.
