avatarlegends: Sean Gantka, a production manager on The Legend of Korra, shares a neat, totally canon snippet about the finale! “I know many of you have wondered, since that fateful day back in Book 1, "What happened to Hasook?” or “How could he just not show up for a Pro Bending Match? Something important must have happened!” Well, I wanted to tell all of you back then what arch my character was on, but I could not risk ruining the integrity of Hasook’s return in the finale of the series. But now, my story can be told: Hasook left Probending to pursue his true passion: music. A clarinet player from the age of 3, Hasook quickly rose through the ranks of Ms. Chin’s Clarinet and Zhong Academy. As is the case for many artist, Hasook had to find a day job to pay the bills while he played music in small clubs and gained a following. Hasook is infamous for being a bit distracted and kind of a dick in that final pro bending match, but what people don’t know is that he had just been rejected by Republic City’s biggest gramophone record label. He couldn’t take that rejection AND Mako’s bullshit and constant criticism, so he left. Hasook then fell on some hard times, including a deep gambling debt - thanks a lot Fire Ferrets, you couldn’t beat the damn Wolf Bats, come on! The final straw almost came when a spirit vine tore through Hasook’s studio apartment, destroying everything but his least favorite pair of shoes and his clarinet. Though, something else happened that day that would change Hasook’s life forever. While playing clarinet as a street performer, Hasook built a loyal following…of spirits. Hasook had never been THAT popular with humans, but spirits loved him and could not get enough of his music. After touring the spirit world for a few years, including a great evening concert at the Tree of Time, where he opened for Koh and the Stolen Faces, he decided to start up his own band in the physical world. With his spirit fan base in tact, Flameo Phonographs, decided to form a band around Hasook - their initial gig would be at the wedding of Sir Varrick and Zhu Li Moon. …Though, at the last minute, the label decided that Hasook still didn’t have enough “star power” and that they needed to add some “front man appeal” to the band, so they hired that dandy Tahno, and the Wolfbats…seriously?! Trombone as the focal instrument? These people know nothing about real music. Hasook has now given up on the human world and will be starting his Spring tour of the spirit world soon - opening night is at the Spirit Library, followed by stops at the edge of the Fog of Lost Souls, Aye Aye’s Spirit Oasis, the Lion Turtle Gardens, Xai Bau’s Grove (special appearance by Zaheer and the Red Lotus Punk Band, straight from physical prison), and closing out with a low key, recorded jam session with Iroh on the tsungi horn. I hope you have all gained an understanding and appreciation of Hasook. He did what he did for the love of music, and all he ever seemed to get in return…was blame. Luckily, in the spirit world, the phrase “fucking Hasook!” is said less like a frustrated shout and more like an excited exclamation from adoring fans.” [x] we forgive you, hasook. -- source link
