Kya and Izumi decide that Lin Beifong deserves more love and she will get it even if she says she doesn't (it's a lie, Lin loved it)

[beifongswh0re]

Lin: *sucking on a popsicle*

Bumi: Pfft, you practicing for when Tenzin gets here?

Lin: *takes a huge ass bite out of the popsicle*

Izumi: *Concern*

[aprettyweirgirl]

Izumi: Wow, Lin, you want to hold my hand before marriage? How awfully lewd of you.

Lin: We literally slept together yesterday.

Izumi: That's NOTHING compared to the lewdness of holding hands.

LINZIN RANT

Disclaimer

• So I just wanted to start of by saying I don't really post much here, but I felt like getting a little tangent of my headcanons for Lin and Tenzin's relationship.

• This will include young Linzin, their breakup and some of the Linzin we see in TLOK.

• I am a firm believer in the fact the Lin Beifong deserved so much better than what she got in the show. However, I am also a firm believer in the fact that Tenzin also deserved better.

YOUNG LINZIN

• I fully believe that everybody knew Lin and Tenzin likes eachother except them in the beginning.

• It was also a classic case of the will-they-won't-they trope (with Kya and Bumi both having betting pools on it).

• Lin and Tenzin were both extremely close growing up, they were both so similar, they both understood eachother in the pressure to live up to their parent's legacy, and Tenzin would always listen to Lin whenever she would struggle with her mother or Suyin.

• Much to Kya and Bumi's disappointment, nobody was ever able to pin just when Lin and Tenzin crossed the line of friendship, not even them. It just sorta happened neither of them knows exactly when, previously mentioned this annoys Kya and Bumi who have to return all the money from their betting pools.

• Everyone thought Linzin was going to be endgame, Tenzin had even started calling Toph "Mom" and she had accepted it begrudgingly and Lin had started calling Katara "Mom" which elated Katara. (I saw this headcanon somewhere and it resonated with me so clearly and I can't remember where.)

• The two of them were a sort of power couple in Republic City, paparazzi fauned over them and named them 'Power Couple of the Century'. They were adored by everyone, even though the attention at time was too much. (The amount of publicity they gained whilst together led to a messily public break up in which alot of names got dragged through the mud.)

• Tenzin didn't necessarily want a family, he wouldn't mind having one in fact he'd like it but it was never on the top of his list at least not until his father died, he never pressurer Lin into the idea of having a family because he knew she didn't want one, he was happy with that as long as he was with her.

• Tenzin and Lin were hopelessly in love, and were actually a really good couple they worked well together.

BREAK UP LINZIN

• Tenzin and Lin's biggest fault was actually what lead them to each other, their deep need to fulfil their parent's legacy.

• Aang's death and Toph leaving Republic City was where it started to unravel with all the new pressure on each of their shoulders cracks started to show.

• I think the last straw was when the acolytes (pushing my evil!acolytes agenda here) kept pushing Tenzin and Lin and Pema confessing to Tenzin. Lin and Tenzin both mutually decided to end things, they both knew it had to end, however it was Tenzin who had the nerve to voice it first.

• In the break up most if not all of Lin and Tenzin's mutual friends took Lin's side. Even Katara voiced her disappointment in her son's choice and chose to comfort Lin as she knew Toph could not.(Katara knew why her son did what he did but that did not mean she liked it.)

• This is one thing I think Tenzin was done dirty on, everyone voiced their dissatisfaction at his actions; Kya, Bumi, Izumi and even Su had sent him letters voicing theirs.

• Nobody stopped to think how Tenzin was feeling, only Lin. Lin knew what the others didn't, the break up had been much more mutual than it seemed.

• The break up was unnecessarily public with both Lin and Tenzin's names getting ran through the mud(though admittedly Tenzin more so). Tenzin however, was fine to play the bad guy as he announced his engagement to Pema not long after. He knew he had to take the blame, he felt at fault and was partly at fault, beside his name could recover, Lin was freshly chief of police, had big shoes to fill and was a woman all things the media would latch onto to pretty much destroy her career. Tenzin was protecting her and only Lin was aware of it and she was somewhat greatful.

• Another stolen headcanon is that after the break up they both need a change, so Lin cuts her long hair and Tenzin grows a beard.

TLOK LINZIN

• The two are reluctant to work together but still work seamlessly when forced to.

• Lin and Tenzin have kept up a cordial relationship. One thing do no matter the time after the break up is meet for tea every Wednesday afternoon, it was a habit they got into whilst together and never got out of.

• The two still love eachother but at this point both know it's practically impossible.

• Tenzin has a key to her apartment still. He only uses it when she is sick or injured.

• Often times Tenzin is the only one who can force Lin to go to the hospital when she needs and sometimes her subordinates will even call him in if they get too worried about her.

• They also somehow end up co parenting the Krew.

THE END

• Thank you if have managed to get this far into my rambling congratulations 🎉.

• These are just my thoughts on the ship and are NOT canon.

• Justice for my babies they were both done so dirty.

Lin and izumi watching the sunset in the fire nation.

Izumi (laying against Lin naked): what are you thinking about?

Lin(holding izumi in her arms, also naked): two things. 1. I wish I could stay like this with you forever.

Izumi (snuggles more): I wish we could stay like this to.

Lin: and two we have been out here for about an hour and I'm going to get very bad sunburn.

Izumi: oh yeah you are screwed.

Lin(smiles): worth it.

The next day

Lin: it was not worth it. Ow!

Izumi (putting aloe); sorry

[roseeycreates-blog]

Izumi: How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see, that you're oh, so sad, so quiet Lin: One night, I was taking a walk- Kya: Along the river Lin: And I saw him together- Kya: With a young girl Lin: And the look that he gave her- Kya: made her shiver Lin: 'Cause he always used to look at me that way And I- Kya: And she thought Lin: Maybe- Kya: Maybe she should walk right up to her and say Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play

Lin: Sometimes when I'm lonely, I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder does it have to be the same? Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain? Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name? Izumi: Lin, you and I know How the heartaches come and go And the scars they're leavin' Kya: You'll be dancin' once again And the pain will end You will have no time for grievin'

Happy Holidays! My gift to you: BURNOUT!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[dollvix]

I love that they look so soft (especially Izumi without her glasses) and domestic and they still manage to roast each other. couple goals xD

*toph, watching thru the spirit vines at the swamp* “hAH GOOD ONE KID” anyway thnx to that anon who made me consider linzumi, tis good stuff :))

[unreliablefucker]

"Without you I am nothing, you give me so much. You make me feel seen. Loved. You are my single desire and I am fortunate to call you mine. Everyday I wake and think of how truly blessed I am to be sharing a home with you. Share this family. This nation as well.... My Darling, if you wish it I will grant it. As I live to love you and you only."

"Do you have no loyalty to your Nation? Isn't your purpose serving them? Do you not value them more than me?"

"My Darling, say the word and I'll burn this Nation to the ground. Every one of them will fall at the moment those words slip from your perfect lips. My loyalty is yours and it will forever will be. They- They do not compare to you my sweet and they never will, do not doubt that for a second."

"How do I know you're honest? Is this another ploy? You're simply bored, Izumi your rambling have no value to me, it may work for your devoted following but not me."

"That is why adore you, do you not see it? You, You understand me, unlike any other. My beloved, my words are true and I will spend everyday you allow me to, to prove it. Will you allow me, Lin? Will you allow me to worship you? To prove my undying loyalty? My devotion to my Goddess? Will you? My love for you is so grand, Lin, I fear it myself. I need to know if you'll allow it."

"I... I do."

[dollvix]

One of the things I love about Linzumi is that they are the serious couple that softens their edges, that reaches the level of understanding of a loving and mature committed relationship for prominent figures worldwide, so having said this… these are your gay aunts who will judge you mercilessly but will also support you unconditionally after a lecture, especially if you are team avatar and your actions have international consequences… RIP Korra

[beifongswh0re]

Izumi: Lin, are you busy?

Lin: Depends.

Kya: Well, we wanted to have a little talk about feelings.

Lin: Actually, I have this paperwork due tomorrow.

[dollvix]

HEAR ME OUT.

Lin is injured, right? so shes being checked out by Kya in a room in the palace at the fire nation, Su wants to see how her sister is doing and tries to go in but gets her way blocked by Izumi's cane. She says, "You (bitch) are not going in" and Su like "you can't stop me from seeing my sister" (she doesn't know theyre married yet) SO IZUMI stands up from her seat and shes taller than Su so she towers over her and says "I am the Fire Lord, i can do whatever i want" she snaps her fingers "No one goes in unless i say so" SO THE GUARDS BLOCK THE DOOR AND SU IS LIKE 

"damn they must be really good friends"

because shes oblivious and a little shit so she cant fathom her sister married and being other than a lonely woman
