    I honestly didn’t even pick up that they were suddenly supposed to be gay.

      Yeah one of the creators had to confirm that the cancellation came as a surprise so they both had to rush the conclusion and sneak in the final scene where that was as gay as they were allowed to be.

      Due in large part to cultural bans on showing explicit (not sexually explicit, just undeniable romantic coding) same sex relationships in cartoons during it’s production if you know what the creator’s intent was for you are looking at… Kora’s arc sort of plays out like a very common struggle queer women have with compulsory heterosexuallity.
