The one thing that truly irked me about legend of korra (there might be more I just can't think of them rn lol) is that there's not one mention of the kyoshi warriors. Not fucking one. And they're like multiple places they could of put them and I have three examples:

Zaofu

Literally instead of having guards that didn't know wtf they were doing, they could've had the kyoshi warriors. And before yall say "well it's a metal bending city they need metal benders" bro they could've had metal bending kyoshi warriors! And their uniform look like a mix between republic city police armor and traditional kyoshi warrior uniform. I know I'm definitely stretching with this one but hear me out. (Also thier fans I'm pretty sure are made of metal if not in lok they could make them metal) speaking of republic city-

Republic city

I feel like it would've made 100% more sense if suki had transferred some of the kyoshi warriors to be the protectors of republic city than toph all of sudden giving a shit about making laws and creating a police force. Like how cool would it be to have Lin be a kyoshi warrior??? THE daughter of toph beifong being a kyoshi warrior would've been cool as fuck.

Just keep them being the fire lords bodyguards

It's literally cannon that they protect zuko when he becomes fire lord 😭😭 I don't understand why they just didn't keep that for firelord Izumi. Especially during book 3 when zaheer was going after all the world leaders zuko could've mentioned the kyoshi warriors protecting his daughter but worried it wouldn't be enough or something.

Like dude kyoshi warriors were probably on of my fav part of og atla and I hate how they completely got rid of/ not mention it in lok 😭

OK! Now it’s suffering time!

Imagine Aang and Zuko slowly getting to know each other at the Western Air Temple and then naturally develop a relationship so pure and romantic that grows just like them.

But life happens, they have to heal the world that was marred by the war, they search for Zukos’s mother, they have to move forward and build families.

Then they have to make choices and maybe one of them is drifting apart or hide their love. In TLOK we get to see that Aang wasn’t the perfect father. Maybe some of his travels to the Fire Nation have something to do with it.

Ohh a forbidden love 💔

Lin, addressing the krew: And if you have any suggestions feel free to put them in the suggestion box.

The krew: .......

Kya: But – that’s just a trash can.

Lin: It sure is!

AU where Katara & Toph both set up premier waterbending & earthbending academies in Republic City; the two schools are dedicated to teaching holistic, unified forms of their respective elements, bringing together previously disparate styles. Katara's school teaches Southern style, Northern style, & Foggy Swamp style waterbending, without any gender-based segregation between self-defense or healing classes (no, bloodbending wouldn't be taught because Katara don't like that shit). Toph's school teaches her personal seismic style of earthbending, metalbending, & more classical forms of earthbending. Katara's academy is on the coast of Yue Bay, in sight of both Aang's memorial statue & Air Temple Island; Toph's academy is far inland, to the east.

Rather than Toph, Suki is the one who establishes a police/security force. Suki's police academy could have a special program with Toph's, so you'd still get those cool metalbending officers. But the school prioritizes non-bending combat first & foremost. Ty Lee's chi-blocking technique is taught there as a required course.

#also katara's statue is a white marble fountain because I like that image #I know these ideas are probably not at all fresh or new but I've just been thinking about it a lot recently #also for synergy's sake there should be a fire bending academy but there's not really anyone in the main cast who would establish one #maybe azula if you like to believe she'll be totally redeemed one day. or maybe kiyi once she's grown. idk #and I have no love for the police or the concept of policing. but let's be real if anyone were to create a police force it'd be suki 100%#she's already head of a martial group that's her bread & butter #atla #avatar the last airbender #tlok #the legend of korra #katara #toph beifong #suki #republic city #au #headcanon

I've always found Republic City conceptually funny because. Like. Okay. We have here a bunch of Earth Kingdom territory that was colonized by the Fire Nation during the Hundred Year War and the decision is made to turn it into an independent state, governed **jointly** by the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation... and the Water Tribes and Air Nomads.

Not sure why the Water Tribes or Air Nomads have a stake in this. They have nothing to do with this territory. Aang and Zuko looked at this situation and Zuko was just like, "Okay but the Water Tribes didn't get to colonize anyone or be colonized by anyone. They deserve to seize control of this region too." And then Aang quietly wrote down "Air Nomads" on the council registration sheet too so that his children could have nice things.

So by Korra's time, the city is now heavily populated by a ton of Earth, Fire, and Water citizens, as well as the one and only existing lineage of Air Nomads 'cause Aang wouldn't have registered his children for co-governance if he wasn't planning to build a summer home here.

And I just. Desperately want to know where the Water folks came from. This region was some percent Earth, some percent Fire, and zero percent Water before Aang and Zuko inexplicably gave them co-governance. I desperately want a story about the mass exodus of thousands of Water Tribe citizens who heard they can move to the Earth Kingdom now and went, "Fuck yes, I am DOWN. EAT MY SHIT, WATER TRIBES!!!"

There's been talk of a new Avatar show set after The Legend of Korra.

People online have been speculating how the technology jump will play out--Korra was a 1920s aesthetic (with mechs), so what will the next Avatar's world be like???

But the real question on my mind if we see a more modern world is how the United Republic of Nations handles its history as an extension of the Fire Nation's imperialism. This was glossed over in Korra (outside of the opening narration going "Aang and Fire Lord Zuko turned the former colonies into the United Republic"), and the show never bothered to address (or when it did, to give the arguments against it to people who you'd probably end up disagreeing with, because of course the show did), but I got to know. Are there United Republic citizens who glorify the Fire Nation's colonialism for bringing "prosperity" and technological advancement? Are there still people with Earth Kingdom ancestry lobbying for the return of their indigenous lands that were annexed into the Republic? The pilot for The Last Airbender showed the Fire Nation retrofitting an Earth Kingdom statue of a former Avatar (i.e. a monument of spiritual importance to the people of that area) into the image of Fire Lord Ozai. Are there people decrying this practice and calling for the end of Fire Nation colonial monuments and pro-colonialism people trying to justify keeping monuments of imperialism in pubilc?

So many questions that I doubt the creators will handle at all, or well enough...

It's interesting that there have been anatomically modern humans around for at least 10,000 years in the Avatar universe, yet their technology at the start of LoK hasn't progressed that much. Obviously later there's a huge jump in technological advances (thanks Varrick) but I find it interesting compared to the real world human timeline of evolution and development. I guess you can't really know how a society like that would develop so there's not much use comparing it to our own world (what with bending, spirits, avatars etc.) Curious to hear other people's thoughts!

ATLA isn't that great at showing the reality of war and you are ready for this conversation.

You can call me biased for this post, but whatever. I've been silent for too long.

It's certainly better than a lot of other shows, but fans often overestimate how good it actually is. It's excellent at showing more simple things like people getting hurt and traumatized because of war, but when it gets to more complicated things it's not that good.

In the show we got two people opposing to the fire nation. TWO. (Technically more because Jet wasn't alone, but you get what I'm saying). And they're BOTH antagonists. It's great to show that anger can blind you, but couldn't they make at least one character who wasn't somehow affiliated with Gaang who was against Fire nation and was in positive light? It kinda sucks. Also it doesn't make sense that Hama could actually attack military men and she just didn't. Why? She could attack civilians AND military and it could have been much better.

Then we get an entire arc to show that fire citizens aren't that bad, they're also people and they're also victims, blah, blah, blah... And the idea isn't entirely bad, but it was shown like they're just all innocent and can't affect what's happening in their kingdom? If the show authors wanted to show something positive about Fire citizens wouldn't it be better to show that there are some opposition to Fire Lord or something? But no, we get episodes about how the citizens are prohibited to show their true selfs because they can't breakdance and we get propaganda mentioned a little. Obviously it's a kids show and demanding to show 100% how war works is dumb, obviously the writers have to tone it down a little, but it still kinda sucked. This is actually why it's my least favourite season. Like, it looked like literally no one in Fire nation was against war? The opposition wasn't mentioned even in the comics? HUNDRED YEARS war and Fire citizens didn't even try to do anything? This fire school arc just made me despise Fire nation more because it looks like they just don't give a damn. (Don't start on "they're being brainwashed by propaganda". If propaganda is enough to convince you that killing is good than you were never good in the first place).

Jet was portraied extremely weird in Ba Ding Se too. Like... Fire nation is occupying Earth nation, killing and abusing civilians. Jet sees two fire benders in the most secured city. One of them was a war general who actually had this exact city under six hundred days siege. OBVIOUSLY he would try to arrest them. Who wouldn't? Who knows what they're doing there? Why would he believe that they don't want to do anything malicious? But show portraits it like some sort of obsession. Like he was crazy and in the wrong, like "they're not hurting anybody and he's nagging them and wants them arrested for no reason". Jet was being completely logical.

At the end of the show Iroh keeps his tea shop in Ba Sing Se??? What??? The same city he had under siege? And he names it "Jasmine dragon". DRAGON. The literal symbol of Fire nation. HUNDRED YEAR war just ended, I refuse to believe that citizens were completely fine with it.

And in "Legend of Korra" we find out that Fire nation still has an army? It got much smaller, but still it was pretty powerful? After hunder year war? How? WHY?

It's also extremely weird that in LOK they explored goddamn ANARCHISM, but not how Fire nation is treated after the war? It looked like nobody even remembers it. It was mentioned like three times in the series.

Also I read the comics and the creation of Republic city was weird af. Kuvira was terrible, but she was right at one thing: Republic city belongs to Earth kingdom. There was a lot of resistance. In comics this colony was still full of Earth civilians and culture. It wasn't completely mixed. And the argument to not returning the colony to Earth kingdom was literally "we've been colonizing this territory for so long that it can't be yours anymore" wich is dumb. It becomes even dumber when you remember it wasn't the only colony like that. It was mentioned that it was ONE OF THE OLDEST colonies. Which means there were colonies where fire culture was even more integrated. Then why weren't those colonies also turned into "something completely new"? And the resistance stopping resisting was really weird. They were extremely enthusiastic and determined and then just stopped because the Avatar came and told them "protect people, not borders"???

In conclusion: "Avatar" has a lot of flaws which are caused by "love everyone" mindset, wich isn't bad at it's core, but sometimes you gotta hate. And some flaws are caused by writers' inability to understand war and what comes after. The series are amazing, and comics too, but people tend too overlook a lot of mistakes.

Thanks for reading

(no one's reading allat💀)

Also if you disagree, it's completely fine, just know that I will not argue about it. It's my opinion that I thought about for a very long time and I will not change it.

You know what, it’s been a while since I’ve read anything for lin. How about a lin beifong x combustion bender reader? I feel like that would be an interesting pair. If that’s too much then let’s have some general dating headcanons?

A/N: This took me far too long to write this little and I can certainly expand on it when I have time. Sorry it’s so short, I was just far busier than I thought I would be. To make up for it, I have put a picture of my pretty kitty at the end!

Warnings: none

Fluff-like tooth rotting fluff

Word count: 612

Made With Love

Lin always works so hard. I love how dedicated she is to protecting the city and the people in it, but she drives me nuts when she doesn't eat enough. She skips meals claiming, ‘there's too much work to do’, but she needs to take care of herself too. With that said, I'm currently in the kitchen making her dinner. Ever since we first started dating, i’ve always seen that woman dig into noodles.its her favorite thing other than the mass amount of protein she eats. I’m making her noodles from scratch as well as the sauce. I’ve always loved cooking so I'm certainly having fun. The radio is on, music playing loudly, and me dancing around the kitchen. Sometimes, if Lin was home, she would just watch me as I got to work in the kitchen. Sometimes I'd try getting her to join me, sometimes I would succeed, and we would laugh at our inability to dance. The noodles are almost finished cooking so I start on the sauce adding just a tiny bit of heat. I pan fry the noodles, add the sauce, her favorite vegetables and some nuts for some saltiness. I pack it into the to-go containers with the fried tofu on the side. I place my food in the bag with hers, mine far spicier than hers, and place our tea in it as well. Draping the bag over my shoulder, I leave for my walk to Lin’s office.

Lin chose to get an apartment not far from the station, so the walk wasn’t very long, but I still got to feel the sun on my face. As I walk into the station, officers wave, of course recognizing me. I may not work with them, but of course they would recognize the Chief's fiance. When I knock on her door, her gruff voice comes through with a rough, “What”. I push through the door to see my darling Lin hunched over her desk and eyebrows knitted. I close the door and lock it, the click getting her attention and looking up at me.

“Y/N? What are you doing here?” I round her desk and place the bag on her desk before pulling her chair out so I can sit on her lap.

“You are working far too hard and need a break,” she opens her mouth to fight on the idea, but i raise my finger to her lips to shush her, “and you will not argue on the matter”. She sighs, but smiles at me, then kisses the pad of my finger. I let a chuckle escape my lips that turned into a squeal when Lin began standing with her arms around me. My face I’m sure has turned red, and Lin has noticed.

“Why the blush future Mrs. Beifong?”

“Your strength is incredibly attractive my dear fiancé” she smirks as she grabs the bag and begins carrying us to the couch.

“Well my love, you should see how much I can lift,” she places the bag down, then takes a seat with me in her lap, “you are easy to carry”. I hide my face in her neck and feel a peck on my cheek. “Now, let’s see what my girl made for dinner,” she pulls out the boxes and looks inside, “you are far too good to me”

“Not too good, just treating you the way you deserved to be treated”. In an instant, she caresses my cheek and kisses me; soft and gentle, filled with love. She pulls away with our foreheads pressed against each other and a soft smile.

“Thank you baby, I love you”

“I love you too Linny”
