I'll break the ice with my Korra-centric ships. When the show began, I was literally panicking every time Bolin and Korra appeared in any scene together, or looked at each other, or stood next to each other, or were in the same room at once, or breathed, or blinked - actually, the very fact that they existed on the same show made me panic because I loved Borra! Bolin makes Korra smile, and laugh, and there's an innocence to them being together, and Bolin makes Korra feel good about herself, and he treats her like a princess, and he can help her forget the stress of being the Avatar, and a million other good things that make me love Borra. I would take trust, loyalty, and sweet adoration over sexual tension any day.
But, sadly, canon reality intervened and essentially reduced Bolin to furniture or background scenery, so now I suppose I will await with an open mind to see how Makorra develops.
In the meantime, I’ll see you all on the Tahnorra tag. XD

Bolin/Iroh and Lieutenant/Amon shipper here, reporting for duty.
Though really my main ship is Bolin/Happiness. As much as I like Borra, I honestly would like a scene where Korra goes "wait! I changed my mind!" and instead of fawning all over her immediately, Bolin goes very quiet and then lets her have it with a rather stern "I offered my love to you and you rejected it, and I've gotten over you, you can't just make all of that better. I don't want to play games with you and I'm happy with who I have now".
...but maybe I just really ship Korra/Not Getting What She Wants For Once really hard.
Broh will never happen in canon (gay characters? in children's show? UNTHINKABLE) but I still very much enjoy it. Sort of a guilty pleasure if you will.

You know what.
I really wanted Mako/Asami to be a thing but Mako turned out to be like, the worst thing.
It's sad because still want it but I know there is absolutely nothing to justify that viewpoint anymore, other than aesthetics. Ugh. Boo.
Also, I can get behind Broh. Or Tahno x anybody. Or Tahno's hair x Asami's hair, y'know.

I support Mako and Korra 1000%, as anyone who follows me on Tumblr knows, lmao. Why? In short, because I think they are the perfect balance and help eachother grow. They argue, they agree, they work together, they challenge eachother, they stick to their guns even if it means pissing the other off, and at the end of the day they are willing to risk their lives for the other. Mako is kind of Korra's voice of reason, and she brings him out of his shell and helps shoulder some of the weight he's carried all his life. They are a team, partners in crime, and all that jazz. I think Makorra gets some dislike because Bolin and Asami got hurt along the way. Personally, I think that's as dumb as when people say they don't like Zutara because Aang would get hurt. People are going to get hurt in relationships. That's just life. Maybe it's because I've been in Korra, Asami, AND Mako's positions so I'm a bit more understanding of the whole thing--I can see where they are all coming from. Of course I feel bad for Asami and Bolin and wish Mako had realized his feelings sooner. But that doesn't mean I don't think Korra was the right girl for him. I think she is. He was just too blind to see it. [And, knowing his personality, I can see why he wouldn't want to see it. Korra scares the shit out of him and threatens to reck his controlled world he's tried to keep Bolin and himself protected in.] I also support Bolin and Asami, or Bolin and anyone other than Korra. Why? Because, frankly, Korra never gave two craps about Bolin romantically and he deserves to be loved the way Korra loves Mako. Though I do want him to grow a little bit individually before he gets a love interest. His naive nature and one liners grew tiring after so many episodes. I don't want him to chase after a girl like a puppy again. I'm hoping, actually, that his love interest is a girl he doesn't like right away, someone who challenges him a little and helps him grow as a character. I have a feeling his love interest is going to be a spirit in human form though. Just saying. Asami and Iroh is one I could get into, but I need more interactions first. And lastly, Pema and Tenzin. I adore Lin, she's one of my favorites, but I can totally see why she and Tenzin wouldn't work out in the long run. She is dedicated to the city and the people in a way that is admirable, but Tenzin will always be a family man first. I'm not so sure Lin wanted a family. I support their friendship though.

I'm a big Makorra fan, have been since the trailer. Any other Makorra fans might know me as one of the admins for #Makorra on DA. I'm also the admin of a few other groups on there, including Bosami and Tahnorra.
Tahnorra is more like a crack!ship to me, as I'd never want anyone to break up Korra and Mako. However, I do like the idea of Tahno and Korra becoming flirting friends, someone to drive Mako crazy, and I'd really like it if he eventually joined the gang. One of my favourite one-shots from my Lost in Translation collection features Tahno. He's such a slimy bastard and I love it. He's the kind of character I love to write.
Other than Makorra my only other LoK ship is Bosami. I'd love to see these two become closer. But in all honesty, I like all the pairings; however, Makorra is my romantic OTP.

^ Flirt friends! I like that, haha. Tahno really is a slimy git, as Ron would say, but he would be an interesting addition to the group. I'm just not sure Bryke is going to do anything with his character, or if he's going to be like Haru. Around for a few episodes and then kind of..poof.

Tahno and Korra, thanks to Senbo-Sencho's (a.k.a ABRZA's) gorgeous artwork: Nightly Encounter. Or more specifically, this lovely little drabble she wrote along with it: To say that he was falling for her was an understatement. Falling implies that you'll black out before the real pain hits. Drowning is painful the whole way down.
And yet, leaning over that stupid garden decoration, surrounded by people even more conceded than himself. He drowned.

I am all about Makorra; no joke whatsoever. I used to be Borra and Tahnorra as well, but my hopes for those just silently went down the drain after both were subsequently anchored in their respective episodes.
I think the only reason why some people stopped shipping Makorra is because of how the writers handled their development. I mean, sure, they themselves were perfect as peaches, but then you factor in the idea of Bolin's "development" revolving around his heart getting broken and put back together in a rather crude manner, as well as Asami's introduction to the series through her heart getting stomped over as well (was that really necessary?).
On that note, I'm totally digging Bosami (not a big fan of pair the spares though), Irosami (Iroh II >>>>>>>>>>> Mako, by a long shot), and Linzin (Pema is adorable and all, but one just can't believe Tenzin dumped Lin Beifong).
