[BACKGROUND INFORMATION]

Angsty Asami Sato was a meme first created by tumblr user The-Goobermelon shortly after the airing of the the season one, episode nine, of the popular nickelodeon cartoon "The Legend of Korra", which is about the adventures of Avatar Aang's reincarnation, Avatar Korra, in Republic City, with her friends Bolin, Mako, and Asami Sato.

Asami Sato is the seventeen year old daughter of Hiroshi Sato, who was the biggest industry leader in the Avatar World. Although she grew up in a rich and providing home, she was very down to earth and seemed almost humbled by the death of her mother at a young age, causing her to seem very mature and emotional, hence the name, "Angsty Asami Sato", which takes a jab at the fact that she easily expresses displeasure or frustration as if she were an angsty teenager.

Asami Sato's character was introduced in the fourth episode of "The Legend of Korra", titled, "The Voice of the night", after she gets into a crash with Mako on her moped, and quickly becomes his love interest. Later on in the episode, Asami attends a gala as Mako's date, where she first meet's Avatar Korra. Korra becomes jealous of Asami since Mako is one of Korra's love interests.This quickly caused many of the show's fans to grow a strong distaste to Asami within only her first appearance, as many fans of the show had initially shipped Korra and Mako as a couple. The dislike for Asami lead many fan's to believe she was an equalist, (a radical supporter of anti-bending), and claim that she was a undeveloped and pointless character in the series. Asami had very short appearances in episodes five and sixth, and was usually shown only briefly interacting with Mako, always in a romantic manner, which angered many of the shows Korra/Mako shippers, causing her to become one of the least favorite characters in the series.

Asami's appeal to the "Legend of Korra" audience did not begin to rise until episode six, season one, of the series, when Korra discovers that Hiroshi Sato has been working with the equalist without Asami realizing it. Hiroshi quickly knocks out Korra and her friends during a battle, untiil Asami comes down and tries to convince her father to stop. He invites her to join the equalist with him, and offers her a electric-glove her had designed to help radical equalist knock-out benders and protesters. She puts the glove on, but instead of electrocuting Korra or any of her friends, she electrocutes her own father after telling him that she loved him.

This action did not only dismiss the theories of Asami being an equalist, but gained her approval in the "Legend of Korra" fanbase. Many fans speculated that Asami had attacked her father because she wanted to protect Korra. Some even suggested that Asami protected Korra instead of her father because she had a romantic relationship with Korra. This caused many fans to begin shipping "Korrasami" "Asorra", or, "Kasami", popular nick names for the Asami/Korra ship.

[THE ORIGIN]

Angsty Asami Sato was a sub-blog created by a tumblr account called The-Goobermelon, as both a role play blog and a blog that hosted various Asami Sato memes that had been created by the blogs author. The most common memes on the blog are currently:

-"Awkward Asami Dinner Discussions", which includes the main characters having a normal discussion at a dinner table, until Asami brings up a vulgar or sexual topic, causing the dinner conversation to become awkward, and is most commonly formatted in about three panels.

-"Disappointing Asami", which includes a two panel meme of Asami expressing disappointment near every-day life tasks or problems discussed within the "Legend of Korra" fan base on tumblr.

-"How About We…", which is based off of the Korra and Asami ship in the fanbase. It is a two panel comic that features Avatar Korra implying various idea's of what they could do on a date, such as going to the movies or eating pizza, to which Asami always replies, "How about we get naked?"

Angsty Asami Sato is also a interactive blog which will reply to questions and comments of the blogs readers. The responses to these questions usually consist of incorrectly captioned pictures of Asami Sato, gif. files, brief (and usually sexual comments), either independently, or combined as a answer to one question.

The popularity of the blog's responses, memes, and posts have caused the blog to generate 120 followers in less than a week of being up on tumblr, and the Angsty Asami Posts have been re-blogged and re-posted on many popular "Legend of Korra" fan blogs on tumblr.

[THE MEANING OF THE MEME]

Angsty Asami Sato was generated to espress out of character responses and point of views of the character Asami Sato in the form of a roleplay blog. The blog depicts Asami as deeply in love with Korra and frustrated at her boyfriend Mako, and her reactions to be those of a modern teenager rather than the way teenagers are presented in the show.

For this reason, she is described as "Angsty", but also expresses other emotions that most teenage girls express, such as Anger, Love, Happiness, and Frustration.
