Legend of Korra finale spoiler question:
don't give me the details, since I haven't seen anything beyond the first season, but does the series really end with a lesbian relationship?
RatskyWatsky
Hunky Nostradamus
i wouldnt rightly know
yeah
yes
wow
they look uncut to me
I should probably watch it past season 1 at some point. Season 1 just left me with such a sour taste in my mouth, though.

I definitely intend to at some point in the near future, but I wanted to wait until it was all over first so I could binge it.
The best route for this show tbh. The week to week wait sometimes soured my interest in this show.

Yeah, I heard really negative things about the way Nick treated the show (as well as TLA, which I saw the first season of live and then just binged the whole thing a year or two after it ended).

Thanks for the welcome guys
And the wise words... letting go it hard, but I'm gonna look back on this and laugh one day at what a ninny I was.
I should post more often! What's up with the dragons?
You kinda hit the nail on the head. Not as extreme as your example, but within the same template. He has built walls and locked his own feelings inside, and instead channels his energy into work and responding to people instead of examining his own. We've talked about this before... I sense a degree of insecurity and futility when he has his occasional weak moments, but even though I try and reach in, progress is barely in inches, if milimetres.
I do sense some (maybe) jealousy on his part. I love to travel and I took 2014 off work to travel the world and now I'm back to jobhunting. Sometimes he sounds a bit bitter when we talk about it - he does moan about his lack of money and time a lot. I also get the occasional whiff of 'I'm not good enough for him' from his direction. I'm as guilty of putting up walls as he is, hiding behind a jovial facade of optimism, but I've let my vulnerabilities show with him sometimes. I wonder if he can see that.
But yeah, let go. I just danced around the room to All I Want for Xmas and Killing in the Name of with my cousin and the endorphins are helping

How big is the outcry? Also, lol.
You know what's even better than a blue eyes white dragon?
Three blue eyes white dragons!

I avoided straight porn from the beginning, but it took me years - probably somewhere around 7th grade - to admit that I was choosing to exclusively watch men due to being gay, and not because of some passing fascination or curiosity. Though that's an entirely different set of issues.
I didn't venture into shipping even in my embarrassing fanfiction phase, but the popularity of that pairing was known even to casual fans. I never understood the appeal - was it mainly pushed by straight women who liked how closely it could be made to adhere to the imbalanced ingenue/corrupter power dynamic of your average trashy romance novel?
Oh yeah, your right. It was really sweet. Glad for a cartoon show to be progressive. Even if it was a small step.
Konietzko's blog entry about the finale is a little bit on the self-congratulatory side, but it's mostly in line with the kind of mindset I'd like to see more mainstream creators adopt when it comes to representation in media, especially for that which is directed towards kids. Treating it as important to normalise a same-sex relationship on-screen in that kind of media might be an incredibly minor and almost imperceptible bit of progress, but in terms of its impact it's probably slightly more benevolent than harmful. And allowing your central cast to display same-sex attraction instead of playing it safe and regurgitating the same group of token 'very special episode' characters who largely exist to be victims, and queer-coded villains the audience is invited to mock; is at least worthy of praise when it comes to cartoons and kid's shows.
Still a junior, so I figured here would be a good a place as any to ask.
So I live in the US, my girlfriend lives in Mexico. She's never played video games before, never watched them, doesn't know anything about them, and would really like to watch me play them.
I'm starting with KotOR II, because she's into Star Wars and I think she would dig it. Got a Twitch account, downloaded XSplit Gamecaster, booted my game up and... horrible lag. Even though it said 60 FPS, it was almost 30 seconds of lag on her end, and as soon as I got past the character creation screen, I could tell it wasn't going to be playable.
Are there any other options?

Bwahahahaha... I have some friends who are hardcore conservative Christians (they're against same sex marriage, equality, etc...) and they're also Korra fans, super hardcore Korra fans. I couldn't find anything on their FB about it since they're always whining about "gay" stuff on the media, lol.
Flaming, even.
Hah, that's still real early. But yeah, it seems to be a common experience.
Wow at the second one. Gross indeed. Also that OT (if I even got half of it) seems to say:
--Fuck I'm getting more and more accepting and tolerant of other people. What shall I do to not end up becoming, God forbid, empathetic towards other people indiscriminately? Love and understanding is totes against my holy Catholicism. Fuck fuck fuck need to pray more. Fuck fuck amen--
For realz? This is no way to restore my faith in humanity at all

I'm running it on a laptop that's a couple years old with a GT 540M and a 2.3 GHz i-5.
Ugh, I just had her run a speed test. 5 down and 0.5 up, LOL. *sigh* I have a feeling I'm not going to be able to make this work
I think that quote is sarcastic. Or did you write that?
No, not that one, lol. The one from Reddit:
Did someone in reddit actually write this? If so, I think that person was being sarcastic.
