I feel like I've seen this somewhere before:

TLOK: 3x01 - "A Breath of Fresh Air"

ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 1x07 - "The Boy Savior"

Korra and Adora foodie adventures continue 😋🍜🍜😘

I remember Korra having some water tribe seaweed noodles. I thought it would be fun to bring Adora along

Everytime I hear these "The Krew were weak/ the Krew were bums" takes I lose a year of my lifespan.

Like this style of take that I've seen almost everywhere?

Im fucking tired, and I don't think it's a good way to defend Korra either. Like, ok, it's shifting the 'blame' from Korra's supposed weakness through the show onto other characters.

Like, I'm sorry but Asami's hand to hand combat skills, even without her glove, are at least on the level of a Kyoshi warrior. And she can do that shit in heels too.

Like she's hella flexible and smart about her combat, usually using her opponents momentum or weapons against them. She thinks well on the fly, and is highly adaptable, which is crucial for a nonbender going up against benders.

This is without even getting into how smart she is with engineering/tech and how she seems to be able to pilot literally any machine somehow.

Mako is also, just a ridiculously talented firebender, especially for someone raised on the streets. He can genrate lighting, something even Zuko was unable to. He's one of the precious few, and only non waterbender/bloodbendee or Avatar to break a bloodbendinh hold.

Like Amon himself spoke about how it was almost a shame to remove the bending of someone so talented. Mako has also been shown multuple times to be able to almost completely halt explosions in their track, even injured.

And Bolin. BOLIN.

I'm sorry but if you think Bolin isn't a fucking killing machine held back from mass murder by onky his golden retriever personality, you watched the show with horse blinders on.

Like the lavabending itself is so op thay the writers will actively nerf him by making him only use his lava disk, when, realistically, he should be yeeting lava around.

But Bolin is also insanely agile for an earthbender, literally going up against earth's steady and grounded movements. But, I'd say Bolin's earthbending resembles firebending in how he moves, particularly the speed and power.

Like, controversial opinion? Bolin at the end of tlok, could probably beat Toph at the end of atla. Or at least be evenly matched enough for me to not see a clear winner. Maybe he can even hold his own and beat out old lady Toph too, if he locks in.

Like I'm sorry. He's Fucking goated.

And honestly, it took me a while to figure out why this idea that the Krew were weak is so persistent, and I think I have a theory.

See, in atla, whenever a character achieves a new skillset, its a momentous moment, or we linger on it. Katara had a whole storyline around becoming a master waterbender, and she is given the accolades she rightfully deserves for it. The Blue Spirit was, essentially the "oh, look, Zuko's a super cool ninja too" episode. Sokka gets a whole episode to add swordsmanship to his skill tree. Toph's moment of discovering metalbending is incredibly framed and focused on, with it being a huge gamechanger against the Fire Nation. And of course, Aang mastering the elements is a centerpiece of the show.

In contrast, due to its faster pacing and bigger focus on plot, tlok has to kinda gloss over the big moments the characters have. They have to learn their skills quickly and without fanfare, and so we don't get the feeling of achievement or awe when they do display some exciting feat.

For example, let's contrast the moment Toph developed metalbending, to the moment Bolin discovered he was a lavabender.

Toph's discovery of metalbending is well prefaced with her storyline that episode being entwined with Aang's and Guru Pathik's lessons, taunts from her aggressors, deep family drama, the resolution of a b plot that has been going on since basically her introduction, as well as atrong focus on her mastering and understanding the technique.

After she gains the ability, she is boisterous and triumphant, singing her own accolades. Its a very compelling an uplifting moment that we can empathise with, and we're often reminded of it with how other characters (specifically Sokka) will often be "so glad they added her to the group".

In comparison, Bolin had a few little moments diplaying his personal issues surrounding metalbending, and some nice forshadowing with Wei's "trial by fire" comment, but it's nothing you will linger on, or get attached to as you would with Toph's storyline. You don't have time to get acquainted with this particular issue of Bolin's, so you don't exactly feel vindincated when he does prove himself by learning lavabending.

There is also no weight to the actual discovery. Sure, there's the lingering shot on his face, the implication that he's throwing himself into the inferno for only a sliver of hope of dabing his brother and friends. But when he does successfully become the third non Avatar lavabender known to history, he only gets a little joke to mark his status. Then the group immediately jumps into action, as the plot has to keep going again.

It's... depressing? And once again reminds me of what tlok could've maybe been if the show weren't so fucked over runtime wise. Because the building blocks are there. We just have to skim over them, and if you're expecting your characters' 'powerlevel' to be quantified into easily tangible storylines, weighty moments and character dialogue, you're not really gonna find anything remarkable.

Though I really wish we didn't put down characters just to elevate a broadly hated character. There is, in my opinion, very little rhyme or reason to the overwhelming wave of hate Korra gets. Trying to disperse it by blaming her supposed 'failures' on other characters won't work, because they are here fo hate Korra. They're just looking for an excuse to do so.

You’ve mentioned in one of your asks that pregnant lin is soooo entertaining. would you show us please.

Yes, I remember!

I'll be clear, pregnant Lin is very entertaining to Tenzin lol because Lin feels safe to share ALL of her emotions in front of him

Her mood swings are little unpredictable at first, but Tenzin has found that you can solve it two ways: fucking or food. Lin could be so pissed about an acolyte looking at him for 2 seconds and if Tenzin shifts his robe, Lin will just push him on the bed then pull his pants and suck his dick

Lin has taken advantage of pregnancy to get out of meetings or annoying phone calls

Tenzin secretly watches Lin check herself out in the mirror and making cute faces in the reflection. She's cradling bump and checking her side profile. He wishes he had a camera to capture the moment. Lin has never really been vain, so he loves and enjoys watching her be so infatuated with her bump

Other times, she's annoyed with bump bc she can't bend over to get her shoes on

Lin and Tenzin workout together, but Lin doesn't go as hard as she could pre-pregnancy. She glares at him when he does two extra sets of the same exercise lol Tenzin does a little extra to annoy her back

That works out in the end because Lin is licking his abdomen and then riding him, so the glares are 0% damage looks

Since Tenzin naturally dotes on her throughout pregnancy, Lin tries to annoy him by making him do every single little thing so that he loosens up. At first he's stubborn and does it bc he wants to take care of Lin

Pregnancy brain also has Lin getting things mixed up. She accidentally put laundry inside the fridge. She accidentally made all of tank tops pink by mixing Tenzin's laundry with hers. She blamed him for making her shirts pink only to realize it was all her doing lol

Lin is still flexible during pregnancy and Katara urges her to do certain poses to help reduce the risk of tearing. Tenzin walks in on her and she takes that as a sign to fuck because him railing her is another great way to stretch her out 😌

Lin also helps take care of baby bison when she gets to stay home. She starts doing baby talk to them, thinking no one hears. Yeah, guess who overhears? Her husband. Other acolytes eventually catch Lin talking in a baby voice when she's with the bison, and Lin would yell at them to never utter a peep about it. But she's too exhausted and over pregnancy to even deal with that. So rumors go around about how Lin does baby voices when no one is around

ATLA was enjoyable. TLOK bore a massive hole in my soul that I don't think any other show is ever going to fill. I haven't felt like this since I first read the Inheritance Cycle

Hi do you have any iron chef hc where lin gets hurt realy bad and the chef (forgot his name )

He here's about it after a week and can not comfort her because ther not a couple so he just goes to republic city does not care if he wil be criticized by the family. He goes to the hospital where lin is . Lins room full of family trying to comfort her. Lin as white as snow barely awake do to the pain . He enters the room everyone lookes at him whit juges

Cheng (which is what I call the chef, he doesn't have much depth, I chose him at random ajsjsj) I feel like he respects Lin's space a lot, trying not to invade beyond where she allows him, however in a situation where she is seriously injured he would definitely break a couple of limits.

I can see him arriving at that hospital room and staying outside to give Lin's family space until Opal compromises and brings the others out to give him some space to talk privately with Lin.

Cheng came prepared to argue if it was necessary just to check on her well-being but Lin is genuinely happy to have him there, even if she can't put it into words he can see it in her eyes.

Their relationship doesn't have a formal title, but he's very aware that he can't stand to see her suffer because she's invaluable to him at this point, and Lin feels so much peace and comfort with him that she worries: What's the right path to take? They'll have time for that later.

My man has become too much like the chief. Spending too much around her.

the entire comic could have been compete and utter shit and i still would have loved it specially for this scene

this is literally everything i needed and wanted from a mako comic and they absolutely delivered

[vocaltomes]

The Legend of Korra ended with Korra and Asami holding hands so Arcane could have Caitlyn and Vi go absolutely feral in a jail cell today

What a difference 10 years of representation makes
