The three distinct types of found family:
Commits crimes together.
Fights crimes together.
Constantly switching back and forth between the other two at a horrifying speed.

I'm only one episode into LOK but I think it's really fucking wild that the Order of the White Lotus raised a girl in a compound and taught her to wield herself like a weapon and then poked at her with a metaphorical stick like "why aren't you spiritual??? Go into the Avatar State for us. You should be like your predecessors."

Even though God already knows its important to talk about it with him, I never understood This before but think Of it like this you can see whats happining in your Friend or coworkers life From social media but its so much more exciting when they want to tell you about it
To have a relationship with god we must be intentional about knowing him Not only through The bible( even though its very important) but through prayer as well

There's something so sinister about the fact that Katara is shunted away from the story when she should be way more involved in Korra's arc. Korra's seemingly main conflict is her sheltered life with her fiery passion for enacting justice and learning to temper it with diplomacy. Who's an old person in the series that has dealt with injustice, who always took direct action to correct them in any way she can and had moved to a more diplomatic role once there wasn't an active war?
Katara fits so well in Korra's story it's not even funny. Imagine Korra having a mentor from the devastated but resilient Southern Water Tribes that was the THE last water bender at a point and can absolutely do girl talk with? Imagine Korra having a tangible connection to the history of her Tribe. Imagine writing Korra to have connections to the place that was the next most affected by the war. Imagine writing a Korra where that mattered to her character.
The way she was canonically written, she don't really give a damn. And that's heartbreaking. And most likely a blind spot with the writers. Especially when passing down cultural traditions and respecting elders is one the most important things to happen to communities where there were attempts to erase them.
#Legend of Korra#LoK#Avatar The Last Airbender#Atla#Korra#Katara#Katara Deserved Better#Korra too#yall talk about Katara losing cultural identity all the time in the ship wars#Meanwhile the writers went to lengths to make Korra low key lose hers from the first episode#Once you start looking at it side ways#It's not about what's there but what's missing#I have other qualms about LoK#But this just hit me in an existential way#Late Night Thoughts#Should I put the anti tags?

Interviewer: Avatar Aang, why did you run away from home? Aang: I was told I was the Avatar at like 12, and the pressure got to me so I childishly ran away. :( Ironically that ended up being the right choice, but that's a diff story. Interviewer: Fascinating. Did you take anyone with you? Aang: Of course! My best buddy, ol' pal Appa! :D Appa: Moo Interviewer: Avatar Korra, why did you run away from home? Korra: Well the first time- I don't want to talk about the second time- it was because those jerks wouldn't let me BE THE AVATAR! So I ran away to do my duties! Interviewer: Fascinating. Did you take anyone with you? Korra: Of course! Only the best girl ever, Naga! Naga: Woof
Interviewer: Avatar Kyoshi, why did you run away from home? Kyoshi: After witnessing the death of two of my loved ones. I swore to escape my sifu's control and to get revenge by any means necessary. Interviewer: Fascinating. Did you take anyone with you? Kyoshi: Of course! I took my totally 100%, platonic bestie Rangi! Mmmhmmm just friends, totally, ONLY friends. Haha. No secret longing feelings here, no siree. Rangi: Platonic???? Not by the end of this trip, not if I have anything to say about it!

the statements “this piece of media was made for kids, it’s not that serious” and “a piece of media being made for kids does not exempt it from criticism” can and should coexist.

Tlok is so weird about abuse, particularly when their female charcters are abusive towards their male characters.
Like Eska's abuse by Bolin was played completely for comedy. Despite him being shown as clearly uncomfortable, and crying on multiple occasions.
This is especially upsetting because Bolin has been shown as being a rather vulnerable individual with trouble setting healthy boundaries and an aversion to saying 'no'. But even when he does actively express his discomfort and attempts to end the relationship, his autonomy is violated and he is literally forcefully engaged to Eska. And we are supposed to laugh.
He is shown to be so traumatised by the experience that he still actively panics when shown even a picture of Eska and is clearly very hurt that Mako didn't offer him more help in the situation. Which is honestly understandable.
Speaking of which, Mako and Korra's relationship in B2 was... troubled to say the least. Now, Korra had a lot on her plate and was rightfully stressed by the events happening. However, it seemed that she often took her stress out on Mako, getting into arguments with him and yelling at him.
She kicked his fucking desk across the room. While Mako may have upset her by going behind her back and ratting her out to Raiko, but this is no way to react. But we are supposed to be annoyed and angry with Mako, and we are meant to see Korra reacting so violently as justified. [While I don't like Mako's actions in B2 he didn't deserve this.]
This is not helped in the slightest after Lin enters the scene, and comments on thw mess, saying that he 'got off easy'. And she implies that she committed even more property damage after Tenzin broke up with her.
Ah, Lin. I think while Korra and Eska's actions toward Mako and Bolin have been called out sometimes, we tend to overlook how fucking horrifying what we're told about Lin's reaction to Tenzin breaking up with her is.
Because, if we think about this for a little, this is a scary situation. Lin is a very strong and physical person who has been shown to be quick to violence. Air Temple Island is Tenzin's home, and the home of multiple Air Acolytes, full of fragile artifacts that we are shown that he values tremendously and for which he feels personally responsible for.
Ans it's honestly hard to believe that Lin didn't know this about Tenzin, since they persumably have known each other for a while. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if she damaged the temple because she knew it would hurt him.
And it's understandable that this wasn't presented as a very morally wrong thing to do, since the 'crazy ex girlfriend' isn't an unpopular trope in comedy, but it is damaging. Since it plays women doing genuinely scary and upsetting things towards men for comedy, therefore making it more difficult to take such behaviour seriously.
But hey, I guess we can kinda pretend that Lin most likely damaging Air Temple Island with earthbending is comparable to egging someone's house or keying their car. So let's let that slide.
Oh yeah, she also abused her position as chief of police in order to try and get rid of a romantic rival.
Which is extremely fucked up, especially with how Lin presents herself as extremely professional and serious about her job, yet she apparently used it to terrorise a woman for 'stealing' her partner. What kind of bunny boiler shit is this.
And all of these scenes presenting Lin as a vengeful, borderline abusive ex to Tenzin are presented as comedic, further driving tlok's most likely unintentional message of normalising female on male abuse. It's not as in your face as Eska's abuse of Bolin, to the point that without the context of Eska and Korra's behaviour, I wouldn't really point Lin out, but with this context, you can't help but consider it.
Once is by chance. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
And I hate to make this argument, but if the genders were reversed in these situations?
If a boy were pressuring a young, emotionally vulnerable girl into marriage, treating her as his slave, manhandling her, getting angry when she speaks to a male friend?
If a young man were to scream at his girlfriend multiple times and go so far as to throw her desk across a room?
If a male policeman implied he caused severe property damage at his ex girlfriend's house after she broke up with him and if he tried to use his status to arrest her new partner? (you know, actually 40% of cops are- *gets shot*)
I feel like we'd have a completely different perspective.
While male on female abuse is still often stigmatised and overlooked, I still think that Eska, Korra and Lin's actions would be scrutinised more closely and reacted to more negatively if they were men. Concurrently, I think we would treat Bolin, Mako and Tenzin with more leniency and gave them more of the benefit of the doubt had they been women.
I want to think that this wasn't a message that was presented on purpose, but it's still one of my least favourite aspects of tlok and I genuinely dislike the part of the fandom that trivialises these actions by Korra, Lin and Eska.
#ah yes tlok book 2#or as I like to call it: the bending brothers getting abused book#i could make a post about how Lin's tendency to use physical force and h3r station as police officer for her own gain makes me UNCOMFY#but do i want to do that#also can we talk about how mako keeps getting nonconsesnually kissed by women what did he do#avatar#legend of korra#tlok#the legend of korra#avatar the legend of korra#atlok#lok#bolin#eska#mako#korra#lin beifong#tenzin

I absolutely adore how ATLA deals with disabilities.
I know we all love to talk about how great of a disability rep Toph is, but we should really be talking more about Teo (the boy in a wheelchair the gaang meets in the Northern Air Temple)
Teo, just like Toph, has his disability be both something that hinders him in some way, but also something that gives him an advantage/ different view on some points - in Teo's case, him being the only one with "an airbender spirit".
But there's something that Teo has that Toph doesn't, and that is a properly supportive father.
Teo has a dad who went above and beyond to give him accommodations, not a "cure", which was what he truly needed. There's nothing wrong with the fact that he can't walk, nothing to be "cured". I love how no one even brings up the possibility of him walking again, no one asks about it because it was not relevant at all. He is disabled and has proper accommodations, a great support system, and a very good life!
Teo is such an amazing disability rep because the fact that he needs mobility aids is not viewed as an inconvenience, there's nothing wrong with it and his dad (and everyone around him) is more than willing to accommodate his needs. And that's how it should be for every disability, in and out of fiction.
#teo and toph are a masterclass on how to handle disabilities#i love them#toph beifong#atla toph#atla#avatar the last airbender#atla best show#disability#disability representation#and this is not even talking about how they handle mental disabilities#like#Zuko and aang's ptsd??#Sokka's ptsd???#so well done#they do treat korra's ptsd better tho#KORRA IS GREAT PTSD REP#and ill die on this hill#ill kill on it too#anyway#airbender#mobility aid#physically disabled#physical disability#representation#avatar aang#teo atla#toph atla#toph avatar

Found family shows what love truly is. That it isn’t a transaction or a complusion of any sorts. It’s a choice. A choice to make a home, a life, with the people you care about most. A choice to stay through it all and to trust others with your heart, and for them to trust you with theirs.
It shows how love is perfect because it’s chosen, not forced, not required, not limited.
