I've seen a lot of OTP analysis ("Who would be x? Who would do y?") stuff and one aspect I sometimes feel gets forgotten about, especially with avatar, is fighting. And one thing I urgently wantted to see in the show was Lin and Kya fighting bad guys as a pair cos they kicked so much ass individually I wanted to see them working together.

I have no specific questions on that, but do you have much thoughts and imaginings on the matter?

I totally agree with you! I was hoping to see Kya and Lin fighting together side by side during the battle with Kuvira. Unfortunately that didn't happen and I was so mad.

but for sure, There is no way Lin and Kya didn't train together during their youth especially with Aang. Kya with head to head with Zaheer to the point that he FLED. Boy when fly fly birdy before she could do more harm. She really good and uses some impressive techniques that make Kya unique. There were some bending techniques from Kya's part during her battle with Ming-Hua that showed earth bending. Her fight with Zaheer showed some air-like techniques.

Lin has a very aggressive fighting style and is absolutely deadly in short ranged fights. So if we combined that with Kya’s waterbending, which it’s sole style is on turning an opponent's own strength against them, rather than directly harming the opponent. 

Lin seems to rely a lot on her metal bending instead of earth. They both have the merit and skill, and they are innovative on their fighting styles. They both take different styles from other bending and incorporate it into their own. Kya showed a little of almost every bending with the exception of fire. Lin is mostly earth with a touch of air. Her acrobatics and flowing metal work look very much like airbending. 

Imagining Lin launch Kya with a metal sling shot giving Kya the right speed to do some major damage with her ice blades. 

Combine the two and they would be a force to be reckoned. I’m sad we didn’t see them fighting together side by side. I would love to see it. 

I’m pretty sure im rambling and making no sense, bit long story short. them two. amazing together.

🌙🍂

for OTP(:

🌙 How do they comfort each other when they are helpless to do anything about the situation?

Lin doesn't get it at first but when she would be stressing bad, Kya would have Lin sit across from her on the floor and then have them press foreheads together. Eyes closed and deep breaths, Kya would help Lin center back down and regulate her erratic breathing. Lin slowly regain control and felt better. Once that exercise was completed Lin would scoot forward and they end with an embrace. Lin would do the same when Kya got into those type of situations too.

🍂 What is an inside joke they have?

It started with Tenzin. Whenever he does something dumb or annoys them. They developed a hand gesture that was safe around the children. Sort of like the middle finger. It just became second nature to them to use the gesture out in public.

Top 5 headcanons

Lin:

1. Lin has a nice singing voice. Which Kya asks for her to sing her to sleep some nights.

2. Despite the contrary of Lin forgetting to eat or not eating enough. Lin has a strict food plan that she likes to stick by. It goes along with her workouts in order to give her the best results with energy and body. She has a nutritionist and took cooking classes.

3. Lin has a extensive night time care routine.

4. Lin keeps a record of every kids likes and dislikes. Everyone thinks she doesn't care or doesn't pay attention but get surprised when they get a gift that's solely suited for them.

5. Lin tries her best to find an activity she can bond with Su’s kids. Wei and Wing is power disc or sparing. Huan is sketching, painting. Opal likes to explore the city and just spend time with her aunt. Lin and Bataar Jr bond over architecture and mechanics.

Kya:

1. Because of her travels, she has a journal filled with recipes from all over the world. When she's at home and feels like having some Fire Nation food she will cook a dish for her and her wife, Lin. :)

2. She is also amazing at communication, adapting to change, organizing and planning. Which I believe she learned from Katara and Sokka. Kya has the maps her Uncle Sokka made and treasures them dearly, probably has them framed in her study.

3. Kya plays the pipa which was gifted to her by Uncle Iroh.

4. I believe Kya has a wild range of skills and talents that she got while traveling. Learning to barter, MacGyvering stuff for when they break, can whip up a meal with few ingredients. If her clothes has a tear, she can fix it right up.

5. It takes a lot to make Kya cry, but when she does, it breaks your heart.

OTP/Ship ask: 💍 ✨

💍 Kyalin will but it's a small ceremony. I can't really figure out if the family is in attendance or they just booked an officiate and flew to Ember Island to get married there. Just them two, Bumi (witness), and the officiate. ✨ Lin does, but Kya also prepared a ring for Lin.

[fyregrayfong]

Ask meme: 🌼 🔥

🌼 How do their personalities complement each other?

Answered :)

🔥 Who will punch someone out if they are rude to their partner?

Kya LOL she's not tied down by being a public official like Lin is. Kya is owner of her own trade with healing and such. Lin has to cool her temper to not throw punches at a civilian, but she has grabbed them by the collar and lifted them up in the air to prove a point. A night in a cell is suffice.

[fyregrayfong]

💚⚡🌼 for the otp meme? ;)

💚 Kyalin :)

⚡ I have a list of names,

Bubby (K -> L, it might seem like it's from bubbles but Kya teased Lin once when she was angry that 'looks like you're bubbling over there, Lin".)

Bugs (They call each other that when the other is getting on their nerves, but keep it lovey. LOL)

Chief (obviously, Lin once called Kya 'Master' since Kya is a master healer but Kya teased Lin so much about it and swore never again)

Princess (Sugar Princess)

🌼

Kya Extrovert = Lin Introvert, Lin broaden her horizons. Kya enjoys staying in and just read a book or enjoy the simplicities.

Lin calculated choice = Kya spur of the moment. Lin needs plans and itinerary (It's how she stays on top of things) Kya, likes order and a schedule but doesn't stick to it 100%. Sometimes she likes to see where the spirits take her.

Kya, big picture = Lin attention to detail. Kya is the one who has the bright ideas, and cool suggestions. Lin is more on the details. She thinks of things others might not thought about but they don't unnoticed when it's done.

Hi 😁

Do you have kid!Kya headcannons?

Here are some head canons that live in my head. 

When Kya started showing signs of her waterbending Katara was so happy to carry on her legacy. 

When Kya started waterbending and her dad, Aang, also water bent Kya thought she could also airbend so she could be just like her dad. Aang had to explain to her that he was the Avatar and she unfortunately couldn’t airbend. 2-3 year old Kya was disappointed because she thought she could carry on her dad’s legacy. 

Kya’s flower child traits were shown once she was able to walk on her own. Katara would find her in the gardens laying near the flowers and watch the clouds. 

Kya saw Aunt Toph always barefoot and so she would always takes her shoes off and walk around the temple. Katara and her would always argue in the morning when she would dress Kya. “But the earth feels so night under my toes, mommy!” Young Kya would argue to which Aang and Toph would be like “what’s the harm, Sugarqueen? Sugarprincess will be fine”.

Kya in her infancy would always be barefoot. 

Kya and Bumi would make flower crowns for each other. 

Kya gotten the sense of auras from a young age and so whenever she felt Bumi was sad she would crawl over to her big brother and wrap her arms around him. Kya would know that Bumi wouldn’t want to talk about it so she would just quietly give "Bum Bum” tight hugs.

Do you have any theories/headcanons as to why Lin is so reserved with her emotions?

And do you have any theories/headcanons for the Kya's want to travel the world rather than settling somewhere?

-Y❤️❤️

I mean Lin is reserved with her emotions because everyone in her life has hurt her in some way shape or form. 

-/-

Kya is half air nomad. It’s in her blood. 

Toph:

Toph has never given her positive affirmation. Lin has been trying so hard to get some sort of praise from her and nothing. Toph never gave her attention and when it came time to have her back (when Suyin caused the scars) Toph basically betrayed her and covered for Suyin and made it all go away. Everything except the scars that will be permanently displayed on her cheeks. 

I want to head canon that maybe...just maybe Toph didn’t realize the extent of the damage Suyin had caused to Lin. Toph could have thought that Lin was over-exaggerating on the markings. Also think for that reason she didn’t let Lin get immediate treatment from a healer which was crucial for healing time and less scaring to occur. Only giving Lin time to just “slap a bandage on and toughen up.”

Suyin:

Suyin was a brat as a kid. She valued her freedom and because of that she legit thought she was invincible and could get away with anything because her mom practically owns the city. 

Suyin is the baby which frankly only further pushes the whole. Baby gets what she wants. Doesn’t apologize for any of her actions or thinks that a simple “sorry” erases everything. Lives in a “Me” world. 

Suyin get’s in trouble for driving as an accomplice. Suyin gets send to go live with her rich grandparents who will spoil her with immense gifts. While Lin just stays in the city and continues to groveling work. Forced to get used to the markings Suyin left which she never apologized to Lin for. 

Tenzin:

Tenzin left her. That’s the short version. 

Tenzin was her best friend turned romantic life partner. Lin knew Tenzin since she could sustain memories. Every life moment it was always her and Tenzin, they were only a year apart so they grew up together. Later started to date and they grew up being each other’s support systems. 

Although yes they did have love for each other, I feel like that love was always platonic. They confused that love for romance because everyone around them basically teased them of their hidden crushes. Once that idea gets put into your head it’s kind of hard to not think about it and your brain starts to be like “okay yeah maybe they are on to something”. I feel like it was more on Lin’s side than Tenzin. I think Tenzin for sure had a massive crush on Lin. 

back to the reason... Tenzin and Lin are both so career driven that they worked tirelessly to become someone their respectful parents would be proud of. Lin as a police officer and eventual Chief of Police and Tenzin being a councilman and representative for the Air Nation. 

Once Aang’s passing Tenzin got more pressed by himself (I’m sure from the rest of the world too) to start producing the next generation of air benders. Although I would like to believe that Tenzin respected and supported Lin’s wishes on her career goal. I feel like he wanted Lin to put a pause to help him carry his goal first. Which Lin was adamant on not doing. She never wanted kids and was never going to change. Tenzin probably hoped that after time Lin might change and in turn caused many fights and arguments. Tenzin hope he could have the best of both worlds, Lin and kids. unfortunately that wasn’t the case so after two decades of being with Lin he had to break up with her. 

Tenzin is such an awkward bean so when he broke up with Lin he definitely broke up. Like cut off all communication with Lin, because he probably thought that would be best for Lin. The only time they would talk would be professional meetings when they had to see each other for council meetings. Security and protection details for the Air Nation. They went from best friends and each others support systems to practical strangers. Which was honestly worse, imo. Lin didn’t just lose a boyfriend. She lost her person. The one person she could rely on for anything. The person who knew her likes and dislikes. The one person she wasn’t afraid to let down her walls, let down her hair and let it flow. The one person who wouldn’t judge her when she cried or laughed. So when Tenzin left, it broke Lin. More than anyone could it was Tenzin that really caused Lin to close up and say no more.

Kya

Kya is half air nomad. 

Kya is a spiritual being and likes to live in harmony with nature. She's fun-loving and had a strong sense of humor. 

I feel like Kya often liked the idea of traveling the world to interact with other peoples and getting to know other cultures. Without the attachment of being the “Avatar’s daughter”. She wanted to be known as Kya and just Kya. 

Which she did accomplish as she became a renowned healer in her own right. All of her years of traveling I’m sure spent learning on different healing techniques and properties to improve on. Kya is easily the best healer in Legend of Korra, which I’m sure her mother is beyond proud. She managed to keep Jinora alive for weeks despite her spirit no longer being tethered to her body and was capable of treating Bumi's head wound without water ever touching him. She even managed to heal Korra, Bolin, and Mako simultaneously with her spirit water. Three people at. the. same. time!!! The only thing that ever posed too big an issue was the metallic poison in Korra in season 3. 

Kya is a person who would rather experience it rather than read about it or listen someone else share their life. She is open to listen to the stories but she wants to go out there and experience it herself. 

Kya doesn’t have a problem with settling. She can stay at a place for a couple months at a time. The most maybe a year because she gets the itch to go set off to a new adventure. 

[fyregrayfong]

I’m so bored at work. It’s raining outside and I wish I was home in my bed. 

So I was thinking....we’re not going to do the doodles and notes right now. I feel like that is now established as the “last hour of work shift” time

I’m thinking if you all would like to send me little headcanons you have of Kyalin. Either between them or how they are as parents with the Krew or aunts. Idk how well this will be since I haven’t been writing for a while and the last thing I wrote was based on @aprettyweirgirl ‘s headcanon with Iroh II. Which I think it’s based on their ship with Linzumi. I’ll attach my addition below.

Lin and Iroh ll

Or you could ask me random questions and answer them truthfully or 

we can play a game of wrong answers only. lol

[fyregrayfong]

🌹⛈Who has the most nightmares and how do they deal with them? ⚡ What are their nicknames for each other? 🍃 What do they do when the other is stressed?

🌹This is hard. I think they both would have nightmares about the same. Lin and Kya work as public service people. Lin as police chief has seen plenty of situation and scenes that leave an impression on her. Lin during her travels and times that she was studying to master her bending. By the time she did accomplish her masters she's seen a wide variety of gruesome things.

As far as dealing, they would give assurances that they are right there with them. They aren't alone. If they want to talk it through they will, brew some tea and let the nerves go down. Or one would stroke the back of their head and soothe the other to sleep.

⚡ Answered

⛈ They enjoy swaying. Kya would be the first to jump for a line dance or if ABBA came on lol. Lin does not like line dances at all and she doesn't do group dances. Like the ones where they all stand around in a circle. Lin will legit just stand there while Kya and the rest dance away. Once a slow song comes on Lin will take Kya out and they will sway. The ONLY time Lin will let it loose is in their living room or when its a house party with just the adults and she's had a few to many drinks. lol

🍃They would first give each other space just to get that initial stress to go down. When they get stress they just don't want to be bothered so a little space is needed. Once things settle and the stress is still there... Kya would have Lin lay down between her legs so she can stroke her hair while she softly hums. Another thing Kya would do is massage with a mixture of waterbending.

Lin would set up Kya's favorite tea and play some soft calming music. Whenever Kya has time Lin would light the incense and get her mediation room ready. Lin also returns the favor with a massage.

31, 38 & 60? :)

31. I was a student assistant for my local community college under the work study program with financial aid.

38. Currently, it’s the TLoK books. I used to collect sunglasses, baseball caps with funny sayings. I’m also collecting plastic water bottle caps but I’m donating those later. (I’ve got a whole cardboard box full of them).

60. Gotta give me a question love 😊

[fyregrayfong]

Heya, so my headcanon stems from the beginning scene of chapter one where Lin promotes the reader to captain, which caused me to come up with a scenario in which Lin is dating the captain who is in their early to mid 30's and they have a kid who is about 6 (I know Lin isn't fond of children but she is willing to try and form a relationship with the kid for the sake of her relationship with the captain). So the kid (which I picture as a little girl) adores Lin even before she meets her and has always wanted to be a police officer, and she'd get excited when there's articles about Lin in the newspapers. Anyhow when she meets Lin she is so excited and salutes to her squeaking out a little "reporting for duty chief" to which Lin is a little surprised but never the less greets her and has a conversation with her, during their conversation Lin learns that the little girl is rather mature for her age and tends to take things very seriously. From there anytime she and Lin were together she would bug her for information about cases, so Lin would tell her about minor cases that weren't confronting, and the little girl would try to solve them like a officer would. After this occuring a few times Lin begins calling the little girl lieutenant which catches on as her nickname and the captain would also start calling her lieutenant. I like to think that she and Lin would then form a great relationship and she would be one of the few children that Lin can stand spending time with. When lieutenant starts school she decides that since the school is close to the station that she would visit Lin during lunch time breaks, so on the first day of school she marches her way up to the station and goes to Lin's office (imma say she knows the way because she has been there once or twice), when she gets there she stops to ask one of the officers if Lin is busy to which they are confused as to why there is a little girl asking for Chief Beifong, right as they are about to ask her why she is there, Lin opens her door to leave because she had gotten a call from the school about a certain missing individual, when she spots Lieutenant she would growl out a quick "Lieutenant, in my office now" from which she would then reprimand lieutenant for leaving school but she would go soft when lieutenant tells her that she just wanted to have lunch with her. So this become a reoccuring thing and sometimes when she is available the captain would come have lunch with them, also when Lin isn't available she would have lunch with the captain. Then on the days in which Lin is swamped with work and doesn't really have time for lunch she would sit lieutenant on her lap and go through the mild cases with her therefore getting work done whilst also spending time with lieutenant.

So yeah that's my headcanon, I hope you like it -Y❤️❤️

omgosh that’s so cute ❤️🥺

you have any head canons of Captain and Lin?

63: What is your secret weapon to get someone to like you?

64: Where is your best friend?

63. Be myself, that usually consist of being present in their life, active listening, when they talk and tell you things. Really listen they might mention something they like or haven’t tried yet but want to. You get that item and gift it to them and their touched because you were listening. Be open, you and the person won’t be identical and there might be things they might want to try with you, like an activity, hobby, or a food. It’s okay to step out your comfort zone and share that experience with them, but also remember your own boundaries. It’s totally okay to say no when it’s something you absolutely cannot do.

64. I don’t have a best friend. I have close friends and they’re most likely asleep in there respective homes.

Ok I lied a bit, if I had to say I had a best friend it would be @kirieama and @jewelsyeu. Who I communicate and share everything with. 💛💙

[fyregrayfong]

Is there something, like a scenario, that you’ve always wanted to be written but nobody’s ever managed to do it? I was thinking Kaylin, but if you have some from other ships I wouldn’t mind hearing those 😊

hmm this is a really good question. 

I would love to see a fanfic of Lin being surprised of all the weird tips and tricks Kya knows based on her travels. Kya macgyvering stuff while she and Lin go out on a hike on the outskirts of Republic City or even out on the desert outside Zaofu. Lin can’t quite see that far so Kya looks in her bag and pulls out a magnifying lens for reading their maps, a large crystal she found in a nearby saltwater lake. one of the maps and making a temporary telescope. 

Lin just looks at her like “how?” and Kya just shrugs like “I got some tricks up my sleeves, Beifong” sending her a wink before putting everything back in her bag and leading the way. 

-/-

Also, I would love to read a story of Kya and Lin going sailing. I’ve never seen a fic like that yet. If there are some please link me. I just love the idea of Kya taking Lin out on a sailing trip around the SWT.
