I just finished watching Legend of Korra and….

Lin Beifong has me in a chokehold

Actually, no she doesn’t but I wish she did

[avatarfan11]

Lin: Kya! I can't do this stupid math!

Kya: What’s the math problem?

Lin: Well, we have to add the bed, subtract the clothes divide the legs, and hope we don’t multiply.

Asami: *covering Korra's ears, while Kya smacks Lin upside the head* Not going to lie that was hella smooth.

Do you ever think about the evolution of the Beifong family?

When we first meet them, they are introduced as a rich family, universally known for their wealth and nothing else.

And then, in LoK, we see a family of skilled benders, architects, artists, founders and defenders of a technologically advanced city, all of whom are freaking awesome.

And of course this change wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Toph.

One thing I hate about the tlok fandom is that they will acknowledge one character's trauma and then ignore this character's sibling who grew up with them in the same circumstances.

Mako is heavily traumatised, of course. But Bolin is the haha funny himbo because somehow Mako at 8 years of age was able to perfectly shelter his younger brother from the horrors of homelessness?

Worse offender, Lin Beifong. Tragic character. Household void of love, neglectful mother. Very sad, yes.

BUT SUYIN WAS THERE TOO, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Suyin was there, wanting her mothers love just as much as Lin. But just because Suyin isn't caught in a perpetual midlife crisis, like Lin, somehow the trauma just. Didn't affect her?

I've made this point before, but Suyin and Bolin don't fit the archetype of "traumatised". Being friendly, bubbly and energetic aren't traits people usually associate with traumatised characters. While, broody, passive agressive loners like Mako and Lin do.

Many people don't just show they're hurt. Many people, like Bolin and Su, build coping mechanisms or masks or just. Deal with trauma differently. Yet people just decide to ignore the obvious fact that Bolin and Su are also trauma survivors, just like their older siblings.

It's weird? Especially in the Suyin case. People love to hate on her and tout Lin as this poor, misunderstood victim, when Suyin is a victim of their circumstances too.

Why does Lin always risk her life for others?

These are just my opinions so yeah:

Because she thinks it's her job. A cop always puts their life on the line for the sake of others.

She believes her life is less valuable than those she protects. In this case, Unlike Tenzin and Su, who have responsibilities to their nation/city and families waiting for them, she feels she has little at stake aside from her life and job.

Lastly, deep down, she entertains the thought that each risky moment might be her final exit, perhaps even hoping it will bring an end to everything once and for all.

That took a dark turn but considering her traumas and all, it kinda makes sense. (At least for me.)

*headcanon(for LinZin shippers): that "first glance" was her wanting to say "I love you" to Tenzin

but with his family around, she can't.

She did the same expression when she said it to Su.

Wu and Toph in Ruins of the Empire

Also I just think is so ironic that the Earth kingdom is canonically the most homophobic (based on what Kya says in the Korra comics) yet it’s the earth bending women who pull all the queer women in the fandom?!?!?!

Bro you’re deadass just gatekeeping the most attractive earthbenders 😭
