The parallel between Sokka and Tenzin as their fathers' sons.

Sokka, left at 13 as his father and all the other men head off to war. Hakoda tells him "being a man is knowing where he's needed the most" and he needs to protect his sister, his home.

Tenzin is the second airbender. He is also half water tribe, he's a man. When Aang dies, he will be the last airbender. He understands what he needs to do.

Untold amount of pressure and responsibility have been thrust upon them by their fathers. Though, I believe it is not all intentional, but the unfortunate circumstance of being the fathers of sons who take responsibility incredibly seriously.

In Sokka's case, "protect your sister" is a vague instruction. It was meant to give him purpose, to help him feel okay about being left behind, He is too young for war, his father does not want to bring his child to slaughter. But Sokka will die with purpose. He will train the children of his tribe so they will be protected, he will face a fire nation ship until his last breath. He cannot go to war, but Hakoda did not see that war was all around them. In trying to give Sokka purpose, Hakoda put their world on his shoulders.

We do not get to see Aang be a father (in the TV shows), but we know he had hopes for the future. All his children were air nomads, and the air acolytes brought his culture back, but Tenzin could bend. This part of their culture is one ONLY they share. I do not think Aang would hide this, he is joyous that he gets to share his culture. When he feels respected, he always is, he taught the air acolytes after all. Off handedly, he could say, "I'm hopeful for a future where there are lots more air benders," and that, which feels mostly innocuous to him, is the nail in the coffin of Tenzin's fate. He is Avatar Aang's son, and the future of the air benders. It would not matter that Aang meant a future in generations. Tenzin sees the responsibility and it's his. He is his father's only air bending child, he knows what he needs to do.

Being a parent is not understanding the way the things you say harm your children. Even those things that feel innocuous in the moment can be life altering. Especially the more the child respects the parent. Purpose and Hope for those with a broader perspective, can be death sentences to a life that could have been when expressed to those who idolize the former.

i don't think we acknowledge this enough when it comes to legend of korra s3 but Lin was MORE than justified in cutting off Su. like her history PERMANENTLY scarred her face for the rest of her life and their mother just brushed it under the rug and not to mention how Su plays dirty in arguments like bringing up her and Tenzins breakup which was most definitely a really sore subject just so she could get her sister to be emotional

tldr: Lin is the greatest character ever and i love her dearly

Korra: Why don't humans have a specific noise that means "there are bees here, let's leave immediately." Why are elephants more advanced than us. Asami: We do have a specific noise for it. It sounds like this: Asami: "There are bees here, let's leave immediately."

Korrasami has such a special place in my heart they were before their time

I have come to the conclusion that I am not interested in AtLA spinoffs, but I love prequels. The comics, the next avatar, the adult Gaang story, none of them interest me enough to interact with them, but I am living for every detail the novels reveal. Like what do you MEAN the Fire Lord has a bastard half-brother scheming for power TELL ME MOREEEE

Thinking about how Opal calling Kuvira “a stray dog that even her own parents didn’t want” must’ve cut so deeply, and stuck with Kuvira for years. For her, it must’ve been confirmation that her parents were right. That she was some kind of unlovable monster. So she naturally started to distance herself from the Beifongs. After all, if her own parents didn’t want her, then why would they?

Look at that face and tell me it didn’t leave a lasting impact on her.

zuko alone: i am haunted by my past

korra alone: i am haunted by my past

suki alone: can i PLEASE grow my beans in peace

the more I see people talking abt s2 Bolin the more I realize i am the only one who understands my favorite princess

"he's a narcissist" he was literally 16 years old in that arc and no one gave a shit abt him so he went with the only person who did. A theme of that ENTIRE season! please see exhibit A) he's all alone pro bending. Exhibit B) he's being abused by Eska and everyone he asks for help brushes him off. C) asking what he should do and being completely dismissed.

and then he literally feels awful because everyone left him behind. and also he's been manipulated to be a pawn in a civil war but WHATEVER !!!

It’s so funny seeing fics where Lin is written as some grumpy 2d character when in the show she’s so soft too.

Just look

She’s so babygirl coded
