Responding to a Review on Amon's Secret Apprentice


 
… Well, actually: I am… kinda… it’s in the works… early stages. Konna having a secret relationship with Kuvira… like romantic? Oh heck no! Actually, I do plan for Kuvira to kidnap Konna to keep her from interfering with her plans. Konna of course will lay the sass and sarcasm down. I’ve thought about the whole plot and everything… I just wanna finish Amon’s Secret Apprentice (Mature) first.

As for Opal… how do I put this lightly? I HATE HER GUTTS!!!!! But, I won’t let my emotions get in the way of the plot. Also, I’ll have Lin adopt Mako and Bolin making them cousins with Opal and her brothers. I really think Lin should have adopted them in the show from the get go, but that’s just my opinion.

So, I bet some of you are wondering why I hate Opal… it has nothing to do with Konna and everything to do with how much of a B*&$# Opal is. When we first met her, I wanted to like her. I really did, but something held me back and said wait. Not one book later she was yelling at Bolin for being his lovable goofy self and worse! REJECTING A SKY BISON!!!! Sure, Juicy had his flaws, but doesn’t everybody? I like Juicy, he’s cute… in a snot monster kinda way like Sokka called Appa. Besides, who wouldn’t want a Sky Bison as their best friend?! Sign me up!

Although if I lived in the Avatar universe I’d be a Water-Bender… but that’s just based on personality. I’m a lot like Katara in that I’m vary motherly towards my friends. I’m a tad like Sokka, I’m the meat and sarcasm girl.

I don’t know, Opal just comes off as a spoiled rotten princess that gets whatever she wants whenever she wants to me. And I don’t like people like that. And my mom wonders why I can’t get along with my cousin that’s closest in age to me. My cousin, let’s call her Brigit, is a spoiled rotten brat that walks all over our grandparents. Then there’s me; who genuinely respects our grandparents and doesn’t expect them to give me everything on a silver platter. All I ask for is a little attention, but even when I have them to myself all they can talk about is Brigit and her little sister, let’s call her Suzi.

Brigit and Suzi do live much closer to our grandparents than I do, but it would be nice to have their undivided attention. And I thought that with Brigit going to college 3 hours away it would be better, but I was dead wrong.

Now, I wouldn’t have much problem with Brigit and Suzi if they were actually nice to our grandparents, but they’re not. Brigit physically abuses them and Suzi treats them like wait staff. For last mother’s day I decided to wash all the dishes. Now I hate doing dishes, so that’s really big for me. What did Brigit and Suzi do… nothing but stuff their faces. They did the same for our grandfather’s birthday while I drew him an original landscape with a fisherman in a boat.

But ya. Opal reminds me of Brigit way too much and it kills me inside to know that Bolin ended up with her. He deserves better. I actually came up with Konna and had Amon’s Secret Apprentice (normal version) finished before Book 3 aired. In fact I came up with Konna while I was watching at least the second episode of book 1! I also had come up with the idea of an Antitar before Korra was even announced. I just never, before that point, come up with a good enough plot and characters to flesh out a whole entire story. I wanted to give Aang a not-so-evil-more-like-misunderstood-twin. But, the idea never really got off ground… I’ll write it eventually, but for right now… it’s pretty much none existent.

Ya, to me Opal and Brigit are just too much alike and I just don’t like either of them for their B*#$% personalities. And as for Kuvira and Konna, I see them as more like rivals not lovers (yuck! Still trying to forget Korrasami even exists). Besides, I developed Konna to fill two roles.

Role 1: be the Zuko-like character that LOK desperately lacked. I felt LOK was already kinda mirroring ATLA but, the Zuko equivalent was missing. Thus Konna was born!

Role 2: be Bolin’s love interest since Korra was head over heels for Mako. Also, I always felt that Asami and Iroh II had more chemistry (but that’s just me). And I already had Konna in the works in my brain, why not pair her with Bolin? Actually, if I could draw show quality, they would be cute together.

But, that’s just my opinion.
