Canon: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Pairing: Varrick/Zhu Li Moon
Canon Level: Married

Hah, I didn't even know I shipped Varrick and Zhu Li until Varrick asked her to do the thing forever and my reaction was "Yessss!" It snuck up on me! Much like Varrick's redemption arc in general. But, aww, Varrick does appreciate Zhu Li and everything she is to him. And they make a nigh-unbeatable team when they're on the same page.

Canon: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Pairing: Sokka/Suki
Canon Level: Dating

My favorite character and her nearly as awesome canon love interest? Yes, please! Mere words cannot accurately describe how much I adore Suki. She's a fighter, she's a leader, she's dependable, she's able to laugh and not take everything too seriously. Sokka suffers in comparison because he's not Suki (a failing shared by nearly all of the characters), but he's great too. He's a weird mix of being the strategist of the group as well as the comedian, but neither role ever feels forced or unnatural on him. So together they're really great too, with both of them growing into the best version of themselves they can be with the other person by their side the entire way. I also like to think Suki is continually amused by Sokka, when he's joking and when he's taking things more seriously than he needs to, and I do think Sokka needs someone like that.

Ahhh, we keep coming thisclose to winning and then failing to. So far this series whoever has more shots on goal is the one that loses, and Nashville is beating us 3-1. I wasn't really expecting the Wings to have a serious run for the cup, but I was hoping we could at least advance to Round 2. (We still could! It will be tough though.) We are kind of worn down as a team though, poor Cleary and Helm. I did really like how the crowd at Joe Louis Arena booed Weber every time he had the puck.

I think I need to try my hand at icon making once more, given how much I keep talking about hockey. Probably of Filppula, who I sort of randomly decided was my favorite. He's a good, solid player for the most part and probably the most attractive player on the team. This is not saying much, I know, given the average attractiveness of hockey players.

The Tigers are doing pretty good, which is nice, I suppose. I mean, if I can only have one sports team win a night, I'd prefer it to be the Red Wings since they're in the playoffs now and the Tiger's regular season is just starting. But I will take my wins where I can get them, haha. And Austin Jackson, my favorite on the Tigers, is doing much better at batting this year. Which makes me happy because he was really...not that great at batting last year.

And in much more squeeful fandom news, I finally got to watch the first episode of The Legend of Korra, and it was the bestest! So amazing! I want to watch the rest right now because everyone and everything in it is awesome.

I participated in a 5K run/walk (I walked) last Sunday. It was fun! Even despite the rain in the morning before the race. My dad, brother D, and his wife all walked too, so it was nice to see them. My ankles were so sore the next day though; I am out of shape.

Man, Avatar: The Last Airbender is easily, in my opinion, the best cartoon being shown currently on American tv. The characters really do act like they're twelve, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen. There's plot and continuity, but the episodes also stand on their own. Except after watching the entire season in order, there's so much more you can catch.

I stayed away from the show for a long time because Nickelodeon does not, in general, produce programming I want to watch. But glenraven kept poking me until I finally watched it. And it was fantastic! But it came on when I worked, so I only saw a handful of episodes. Until Nickelodeon had a marathon of every episode aired, which I taped for the purpose of showing my roommate. And yes!

We have the season finale on right now, and I love it. Zuko is--! And Sokka, who is such a fifteen-year-old boy with a crush. And Katara's gotten so strong.

...I post now because anything else I'd have to say would be even more incoherent with glee than that last paragraph.
