I could see various hints of Korra and Asami in the show, but I agree that their romance could have been handled better. The hints were there, but I don't think they were strong enough. I don't fully blame the writers though, as Nickolodeon was appearently very reluctant to have them as a couple and gave the writers some major restraints. Where it not for those restraints, I believe that the romance between Korra and Asami would have been written a lot better. I like the two of them together, but I agree the development of the relationship could have been better. The comic that serves as the sequel to the TV series seems to handle it better though, thankfully.

I kinda agree with the second point though. Writers should be confident enough to write certain things. LBGT+ romance is a sensetive topic for many people, and its often not done that well. And while there have been some hints that Yang might be bisexual, it will be a long way before any official romance will happen between the four girls, if it happens at all. Monty claimed he had planned a LBGT+ character to appear from the start (I don't think he was talking about IIlia or Neptune though. No way of knowing that for certain, but I kind of have a gut feeling.), but he also claimed that romance wouldn't be a main focus of the series. Because the girls were still growing up, but also because the writers would need to master romance in general in first. Romance, including LBGT+ romance, isn't on the priority list as of now. It might be in the future, but not for a while.

I think BlackSun is one of the most likely ships to become reality, yeah...Which I'm honestly torn about, considering I ship both BlackSun and BumbleBee XD

Also, regarding why I named Neptune earlier in this post, I remember someone once asking wether there would be a love triangle between Yang, Sun and Blake. The reply (forgot from who it was) came down to Neptune probably having an opinion or two about it as well, heavily implying he would be gay for Sun. It was most likely just a joke, but still.
