Since the episodes are online and we are (legally) finally seeing the characters in action, time to board the ships. Thoughts, speculations, favorite fanart and vids, have at it. Fancy ship titles and collected links can be edited into this post later on.

From what I've seen on Tumblr and dA, Borra's the preferred name for this ship. It works for me and has a nice ring to it. It seems like Mako/Korra (Makorra? Is that what the kids are calling it these days? ) is the more popular ship so far, but I really like the chemistry between Bolin and Korra more. From their first meeting, the two of them interacted positively, and while I can see why many think that they're just going to be friends, I think that their personalities really complement one another. It's still early in the series, but as of right now, I'm on the Borra bandwagon.

Ah, thanks for the ship name! I'm gonna wait a few more episodes before boarding any ships, but I do really like how Korra and Bolin interact. Whether they stay as friends or develop into something more, I just hope they continue hanging out together, it seems like they would be a lot of fun. There was this fanart by Ziggyfish on Tumblr/dA that totally became my headcannon; it's that the two are complete goofballs together and pick on/embarrass Mako all the time. xD this is the page.

The artist's comments on that image nearly made me spray water all over my keyboard. Brilliant! Great image too.

Bumping up the post now that we've had more Borra hinting in "The Voice in the Night" and a taste of Masami. There's also more and more Borra fanart on dA everyday. Someofmyfavorites.

Aww! Those are sweet. I especially like the coloring for the first and third ones. Found these two on Tumblr, with tiny spoilers for episode 4. I don't think I'm completely on the ship yet, but they are awfully cute. <3

Aww that is too cute. Bolin's "thanks for saving me" presents were precious. At first he struck me more of a lady's man, but he is really just adorably sweet.

I don't think I'm completely on the ship yet, but they are awfully cute. <3 Those are both adorable, but I really love the first one. Every time I think about this ship, I like it more. I'm sorry to say I don't feel that way about Makorra. (I didn't care at all about who Katara ended up with in the last series though so having any interest in the lead female's love interest is a step up for me shippingwise!) It will be interesting to see who ends up being the endgame couple though. It's hard to believe that we're already 1/3 of the way through the first season.

Some more fanarts here. And yes, the gifts were really sweet. :3 According the Korra Press Site Bolin is "still a novice in the world of dating," so maybe that's why he's still adorable rather than a player. And yeah, it will be interesting to see what will be endgame will be since there are more triangles being set up. It seems like with the addition of Asami more people are jumping to Borra, so at the very least yay for more fanart. ^^ I wonder though if the endgame was changed any because of the show getting a second season. If it was to stay at 12 episodes, it seems like it would be easy to just wrap it up, but maybe they'll shake things around season 2.

Whatever happens endgame probably won't stay endgame in the second season. I just hope they don't turn things into a teen drama with angsty depression and bitterness. Since everyone is well into their adult years (in the Avatar world) they should be able to handle a breakup like an adult.

I just have this gut feeling that both Borra and Makorra are going to happen, one in each season, so everyone wins at some point.

So much amazing fanart! -runs around in circles flailing arms wildly- I just checked the Tumblr tag and it's exploding with people jumping ship on Makorra because of the last leak. I'm waiting until tomorrow to see what they're talking about. (I don't watch the leaked stuff, I don't want Koh to steal any more kittens' faces!)

^Argh, me too! I'm not ditching Makorra just yet, but I'm really dying to know what's so dramatic that other people would.
I've gotta delete my tumblr.

So this is my ship. I'll probably be hanging out here a lot. I'll probably gif set every moment they have together. Bolin just had to go and be so freaking perfect.

I just found this on Tumblr from the newest episode and thought that my fellow Borra supporters would appreciate it. It kind of softens the blow of the "let's break Bolin's heart" scene.
