Sokka is not Suyin's father, and I will die on this hill. I refuse to believe it.

Suyin stated that they never met their father. There is no way that Sokka never met Suyin. They lived in the same city, where Suyin grew up. He and Toph had the same friends, same social groups and so forth. There is just no way, that they haven't met. Also, Toph told Lin the name of her father, so why wouldn't she tell Suyin the name of hers?

If it was a fling, Sokka would know Suyin is his. It literally makes not sense that he wouldn't know, it's just not possible. Sokka is not stupid, he would put the pieces together. Again, he and Toph lived in the same city, same social group and etc. He would have alsp met Lin at some point to, since she's a police officer. This only works if Sokka is a dead beat dad and a shit friend. If any of you try to say Sokka is stupid, you're wrong. We are not talking about young Sokka with virtually no experience. We are talking about Sokka who was a government official. Who had years of experience in diplomacy, battle, strategy, government and likely military. We're not talking about Sokka who was still learning to mastering swordsmenship. The only way that works is if Sokka is a deadbeat dad which is extremely out of character.

Again, if a fling, Sokka could have taken one look at Suyin and got suspicious with the timeline of the fling and the birth of Suyin. Adult Sokka is not stupid, neither was young Sokka. Young Sokka just had a lot less experience and knowledge.

Don't even try to say Sokka died before he could find out. Sokka died long after Korra was born, long enough after to have saved her at some point. Korra is young enough to be one of Suyin's kids, like a middle child, type young.

Obsessive Stalker

So we all know how creepy and f*cked up She Li is. I was thinking more on him as a character.

I originally thought Jian Yi would be the object of She Li's obsession. It wasn't long im the series that we learned Mo is the actual target. She Li is obsessed with Mo, to the point that it is beyond dangerous. I believe She Li is the type of stalker who would resort to killing if need be to keep the object of his obsession. Like the "if I can't have you, no one can" type.

She Li is malicious, and he knows He Tian is stronger and has powerful people behind him. He just does not care in any way, shape or form. To him, Mo is his to do whatever he wants with, and nothing will stop him.

I believe She Li has been stalking Mo since he first seen him in the hospital, before Mo even knew of his existence. I think something wrong and sick clicked in She Li's head, and Mo became his obsession. I don't believe it was a coincidence that She Li just happened to be there at the right place and right time. He has been waiting for the chance to insert himself directly in Mo's life.

She Li will not ever let Mo go, as long as She Li lives, Mo will never be safe from him.

The fish that Mo had save resembles He Tian in color scheme. I believe that it somehow symbolizes that Mo saved He Tian.

The fish that She Li stabbed and killed, I believe that fish resembles Mo. It could symbolize on Mo's relationship with She Li. Or maybe foreshadowing something far darker is coming.

Reki is Langa's Happiness

I know a lot of people feel disappointed with the final episode, feel incomplete.

But here's a heartwarming thing. At the end, it shows Langa talking.

He trails off on what he's about to say his happiness is and shows Reki. This could imply that Reki is Langa's happiness or that his happiness is directly influenced by Reki.

This shows that Langa is aware that his happiness involves Reki.

Ok, I’m going to hate myself for writing this but I got to get these thoughts out while they’re fresh and for a hot moment I thought Adam was going to imprint on Reki so:

We all no Adam has creepily become obsessed with Langa and is convinced this is Eve and yadda, yadda, old news we all hate and we all Adam and want him dead or in jail, cool we get it.

But I think Adam is wrong about Langa being his Eve.

Because who parallels Adam more than anyone, not in skating ability, but in attitude towards skating?

Reki does. Reki is the true Eve.

Now you’re all probably horrified and disgusted but think about it for moment, and I know Reki parallels a lot of people in the anime but-

Reki is shown to be the one person who loves skating more than anything and does it just because it’s fun, whether or not he’s particularly good at it. Reki & Adam both parallel each other because for both of them, skating is an act of love. Skating is love. There’s a reason why Joe told Reki not to end up all alone, because he’s seen someone who loves skating more than anything end up alone. Adam loves skating more than anything, and then ended up all alone and then his love towards skating became very twisted and convoluted.

“But wait!” You might say, “Reki isn’t the skating prodigy Adam sees like he does in Langa, the skating prodigy he views as a perfect match!”

And here is where you’re wrong I reply, because Adam’s Eve, Adam’s foil, isn’t someone who’s a skating prodigy. It’s some who fought tooth and nail to develop his skill, someone who’s clever and an absolute genius at other parts of skating, someone who loves skating more than anything and didn’t get his abilities by natural talent, but by working harder and using his strengths & knowledge to claw his way to where he is.

Someone who can outsmart Adam at his own game and be on par with him in a way Adam could have never predicted.

Someone who is shown to have almost beaten Adam, made Adam completely desperate in a way we’ve never seen before.

It’s Reki.

Adam is searching for someone who loves skating just as much as he does (did) to be his perfect match and engage in what he views as the ultimate act of love.

Langa only loves skating when he’s with Reki, he doesn’t love skating for skating’s sake, he loves it because Reki’s there doing it with him, cheering him on, regardless of whether you interpret it as romantic or platonic, he loves doing things with the people he loves (Reki & his dad).

Reki loves skating because he thinks skating is fun, and stuck with it regardless of what people thought. Wanna know who else refused to let go of skating, regardless of what other people thought? As much as I hate to admit it, it’s Adam.

Reki is a perfect narrative foil to Adam, full of uncanny parallels but also subtle differences (a loving family, not being a perfect prodigy, etc) that make him different from Adam.

Someone who could cause Adam’s downfall. Just like biblical Eve sparked Adam’s downfall by giving him the Apple to eat, Reki clearly as the potential to be that.

Adam’s other half and ultimate downfall.

[hereisarantforyou]

So, I was right that Adam noticed something was off. He's as obsessive, creepy and stalkerish as a thought. I knew he would see Reki call out to Langa. I still don't know how he doesn't know who Reki is though.

With how obsessed he is with Langa, how did he not take notice of a flaming red-head constantly with him?

Anyway, now Reki has Adam's attention, and Adam sees him as a threat.

Adam came to the wrong conclusion. He doesn't realize that without Reki, Langa loses his enjoyment of skating. So he doesn't know or understand that if he crushes Reki, it would also crush Langa.

This could end up with Reki being hurt again. If this happens, I think it's going to be a lot worse then the other times. I think it really won't be good.

I hope we get a curve ball and it's Reki who actually beats Adam. However, I feel like that's too optimistic given the anime so far.

Is Adam going to do something to Reki again?

So we all know Adam is obsessed with his so called "Eve." He believes that Langa could be or is his "Eve."

In the opening, it was clearly foreshadowed that Langa and Reki would have a split. Langa disappearing, followed by Reki running and falling into a hole filled of Adam.

Now, the hole Reki fell in could represent his fear of Adam, leading him crashing down with insecurity. It could also foreshadow that Adam is going to do something to Reki, again.

Langa disappears, and then Reki is running. It seems like he's running to catch up to Langa, it could signify them trying to make up. However, while he's running the screen that was showing Langa changes to Adam and Reki falls into a hole full of Adam.

So, what if that part of the was to foreshadow that Adam does something before the boys could make up?

I can not imagine that someone as obsessive as Adam seems to be, would not notice something wrong with a person he is obsessed with. There is no way that something as obvious as a sudden dispassion wouldn't go unnoticed. If Adam didn't notice the change in Langa, he'd have to be dense.

So Langa is acting off, and wait, what or who is missing? His best friend, Reki, who is normally glued to the hip with Langa. Always together, then suddenly, Reki is gone and Langa is acting different.

Now, suddenly Reki is back, just yells Langa's name during a race. Then BAM Langa is skating excitedly and passionately again. Reki is a key part of how Langa skates, without Reki the excitement and passion seems to be gone. His heart doesn't race like it used to.

So now, if Adam is smart enough to see that, he knows Langa won't skate normally if Reki isn't somehow involved. He knows without Reki, Langa won't be the "Eve" that Adam wants Langa to be. So he needs Reki to get Langa to be his "Eve."

So what do you do when you need someone to get what you want but they won't come willingly? You take them anyway, aka, Reki falling into the hole filled with Adam.

This is just me theorizing at almost 3 am. Feel free to ignore me, I'm probably wrong, but Adam is a creep. He's not even above hurting people he once called special.

Reki isn't jealous of Langa.

Reki is proud of Langa and his achievements in skateboarding. He's scared of being left behind, of not being good enough to keep up.

He is jealous but not of Langa, he's jealous of the people that can keep up with Langa. He's envious because they can keep up but he feels like he can't. He feels like he's not talented enough to be by Langa's side.

All he wants to do is skate with Langa and not be left behind. He wants to be by his side, not cheering him on from the sidelines.

People dug into his insecurities about not being about to keep up with Langa. It hurt him a lot.

I'm tired of people saying Reki is jealous of Langa. He is envious but not of Langa.
