I can't believe I've been finishing these while I'm so sick...
Bumbleby week day 4: (Air)Nomad Blake & (Earth/Fire Nation)Farm Girl Yang 🌊⛰️🔥🌪️ I wanted to spice things up~
I like the A:TLA AUs where Blake is a Kyoshi warrior, but I am a firm believer in Lavabender Yang supremacy... Tai or Raven can be from the Earth Kingdom/Fire Nation descent its fine

Ghazan, a character I'd love to have a bit longer in the show. Why laughing to tears? I'd say Bolin jokes, these two could definitely be friends in a more mentor way in other circumstances.

i do think it is legitimately very funny whenever someone tries to make the claim that lavabending is inherently a very slow subbending and therefore not good in a fight. specifically when using that argument against Bolin's skill as a bender.
Sure, I feel like in very specific instances with Ghazan that could be a fair argument to make. It takes him a moment to destabilize the Ba Sing Se wall and for him to kick up enough lava to destroy the airbending temple. (to the point I would argue that if Bolin had been versed in lavabending like he was in s4 he would have swept the ground with Ghazan), but in moments where he's actually in a fight his lava is incredibly quick.
Just the lava frisbee on its own is an incredibly quick move
Tumblr media
But making that argument with Bolin in particular is absolutely batshit when outside of lavabending he is an incredibly quick fighter. I would say it is one of, if not the, most defining things about his fighting style. He moves very, very quickly and uncharacteristically agile for a earthbender. This is a known thing. Like
Tumblr media
I am not the first person to say this but no other earthbender does backflips like he does. And THEN with lavabending he is just as quick if not more so
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bolin since season 1 has had an uncanny knack for bending incredibly fast, and his lavabending is no exception to that rule. It's honestly something that haunts my brain all the time because how quick he is with it low-key breaks the balancing? a little?? Like earthbending was always shown to be very strong but in turn it was slower than other types of bending, but with Bolin that doesn't really seem to be a hangup he has.

So like 6 years after the end of Legends od Korra and I just had this random thought.
Bolin is son of earth bender and fire bender. It makes so much sense for him to be lava bender!

Please please please infodump about why Bolin from LOK may be autistic!!! It's such a hot take and I'm in love with the idea!! I often go back and reread fics on 'tism headcannons about my favorite characters, something about it is just so comforting hshjsg
Have an amazing day/night <333
i've been waiting for this one turn it up!
seriously thank you so much for asking this, i've been dying to infodump about it haha
so my main reasons for thinking that bolin is a fellow tism are that:
☆ he doesn't seem to understand social cues, and admitted to not being able to read people.
☆ while mako could smoothly navigate the world, bolin couldn't and just followed his lead. when he is left alone he trusts the wrong people and gets involved in serious trouble.
☆ he sometimes says things at inappropriate times, and gets confused when people react badly.
☆ he seems to stim when he's happy or excited, like when he meets toph for the first time.
i hope this explained everything! let me know if it didn't ❤️

Helloooo!! Can I request mako and bolín (seperate) being protective of their (s/o), thank you a lot<33
Ofc u can!
A/n: mako and Bolin have the most requests so far,I'm really glad tbh that people are submitting requests,keep em coming.i also added in Korra and Kuvira ,since this seems like a perfect imagine for them.
Genre: Fluff
Mako x reader, Bolin x reader, Kuvira x reader,Korra x reader (all separate)
Overprotective Lovers
Warnings: none.
Tumblr media
Starting off with Mako,he's the kind of guy that doesn't take well to someone talking to you in some kind of mean way in front of him, especially if you're more a more naive person.
Even if you take care of yourself, he's still there making sure you're away from harms way.
If you ever get hurt or kidnapped,it's over for whoever did it, it's not like he's usually a calm person,but take away his favorite person and you got yourself a big problem to deal with.
Even when you're not exactly in danger, he's there. It's sweet really,but it can also be annoying when overdone.
You like being protected by him,but not all the time, he didn't like it when you talked to Korra, claiming since she's the avatar she would draw unnecessary attention over you and put you in complicated situations.
Of course you explain to him that you're a big girl and that you can watch over yourself,but he just can't understand it. {Sigh}.
Tumblr media
Korra? Well she had her ups and downs. But she learned ,ok? Once you two got together ,this feeling that's she allways had grew stronger,her urge to protect you.
Of course she would blame it on the fact that she's the avatar,but really it was her being protective of you.
Even before dating her ,you knew this would draw a lot of attention to yourself, and potential enemies of the avatar would want to harm you. But that didn't stop you,after all you're free to love whoever you want even if it endangers you.
When Korra faced Amon she used to be Terrified something bad would happen to you, even her dreams would be hunted by dark images. She would see Amon preparing to take away your bending,but each time she would wake up before anything happened,in cold sweat,with you by her side.
If you're a light sleeper,you would assure her nothing happened to you,and that you're okay.
Even after she defeated Amon, more villains appeared,making Korra constantly worry about you. But one thing is sure, that she would always be there to protect you,and in case anything happens,to save you.
Tumblr media
This boy is the most carefree of them all. He doesn't really have to worry that you would be kidnapped or hurt most of the time,but if it ever happens, either someone hurt you or something went wrong in the mission?
He's full boyfriend mode on. He wouldn't be like Korra or Mako, first thing he would do is bring you to safety, revenge not being his thing.
If you're okay ,that's what matters to him. But now if you're especially targeted by someone? He's not as chill as before. Especially since he recently learned how to lava bend, which makes him a pretty strong bender, definitely not the kind you would want to piss off by chasing around his girlfriend,nu uh.
Bolin knew it was a mistake to introduce you to his boss, Varrick.
That man would make flirty jokes with you,which always made Bolin roll his eyes and mock him quietly.
So what if he's smart and rich? You wouldn't like a prick like him.
Whenever Varrick got too close, your boy would be there to put distance between the two of you. It's not that he's jealous,but he knows how his boss is.
Tumblr media
Yeah no. I doubt anyone would even try to threaten you while she's around.
After all the power and respect she gained, expect people to fear you just because you're with her. So mostly Kuvira doesn't have to worry that anyone is gonna try anything.
After all she made quite a name for herself.
Even so, being The Great Uniter's s/o came with it's disadvantages.
For example,if someone really wanted to hurt her,they would target you. You're her soft spot,and she knows it.
Yes,you have your personal guards picked by Kuvira herself. Just because she doesn't expect you to be attacked it doesn't mean she won't be prepared for it.
You're hers,and the world knows it.
.
.
A/n : I really enjoyed writing this,I might make another part with different characters :)

Almost got into an argument with my mom because she was convinced that Lin Beifong from Legend of Korra had a fire Nation girlfriend in canon????
I went through every fire bender in Korra and she denied it was them. I suggested she was mixing up the popular ship with her and Kya and she insisted it was a lava bender. I mentioned the lava bender guy and she said no, it was a woman. She also said they went to the fire nation when she was introduced. What alternate universe version of Legend of Korra did my mother watch??? Am I getting gorchoved by my mother????

For some reason people like to pu the Gaang against Korra's team and make fun of Korra's team for being weaker.
Like yeah... ofc they are. The Gaang wasn't just Aangs team, the Gaang was his teachers and peers. Each bender on that team learned from the respective source of their respective bending, and with the exception of toph they learned alongside aang. they were also on the quest to master all four elements in a year. zuko was training to be the firelord, toph's bending had been honed with the badger moles since she was a child and then honed more in the wrestling arena, aang had already been an airbending prodigy beforehand, and katara's sheer balls and her creativity made her an amazing bender. in my honest opinion the only thing keeping aang from being the weakest bender in the gaang was the fact that he was the avatar and his airbending abilities, cause he is not healing ppl back to life, toph, or breathing fire. korra's team isnt as strong because like, obviously they never needed to be. mako and bolin were athletes. mako could lighting bend and bolin could lava bend, but their training wasn't as intensive or war ready as the training of the freaking next in line for the firelord or someone who needed to use her bending to navigate her life independently. they were training to win at a very specific game, and their other bending forms just weren't honed for that level of combat. korra never got to train with any of the original sources of her bending, but she was still an extremely powerful avatar, and the most powerful bender on her team because she had been training with dicipline in order to actually fight, now knock people off a ring in pro bending. if youve gotten this far im sure youre noticing something that is very clearly missing from this post. the nonbenders. honestly, i can't compare sokka and asami. why? i dont remember if asami knows how to chi block or not. she'd been trained in self defense i know, and they are both very capable intellectually and have fighting styles that give them the edge even against benders, which is super impressive. granted, i cannot remember if asami fights much without the stun glove, and i don't remember what level asami was fighting at if she did. under the impression that asami can chi block, i would say that she and sokka are pretty evenly matched.

Something that's pretty obvious, but I haven't seen mentioned before, is that in book 1, Aang really the most advanced bender out of the main cast, including Zuko, (besides Iroh if you wanna include him)
Katara has learned some waterbending on her own, but she didn't have a teacher or any kind of visual aid for what she was supposed to do or what waterbending even looked like.
Zuko expresses frustration over his uncle only drilling him on the basics of firebending.
meanwhile, Aang is a fully realized airbender, as evidenced by his tattoos. He probably could've beaten Zuko entirely on his own in just about every encounter, but what held him back was the fact that he wasn't trying to beat him. He was trying to get away from Zuko. And Aang also generally avoided violence whenever he could, like with the pirates when he was fighting Zhao. He didn't really fight Zhao, he provoked him into setting fire to his own ships.
I finished rewatching the entire series yesterday, and I don't think he ever really gets hurt in the first book either? And when Zuko captures him at the north pole, Aang was in the spirit world, so there wasn't even a fight.
In "the blue spirit", Aang was outnumbered against precision archers like 20 to 1 AND while trying to collected frozen frogs for Katara and Sokka, all while running away.
Even in book 1, Aang is powerful. Very powerful. Look no further than the fortuneteller episode, when he cools the lava of an entire volcanic erruption on his own in a single move. He just actively avoids violence and tries his best to look for peaceful solutions in every situation. Even at the series finale, he wanted to avoid killing Ozai, not because he was weak, but because a peaceful resolution is the only kind of resolution that was possible for him.
He could have killed Ozai. He very much had the power to do so. Everyone told him it was the only way. Even his own past lives, including an air nomad avatar.
But if he had killed Ozai, he would have gone against everything that the monks, his people, the people whom he is the very last of, had taught him.
In a way, killing Ozai would also have killed the very last airbender still alive.

hi !! can you write about leo valdez x jackson reader who is percy’s sister and how protective he is of the reader especially since she is dating someone who turns to literal fire ?
Leo Valdez x Child of Poseidon reader.
Being Percy's sister came with it's downsides as well as it's upsides.
On one hand, you got a cool mom, cool powers, a cool brother, guaranteed protection, and you got blue food.
On the other hand... Percy was overprotective. Like, really overprotective. So when you started dating Leo, a literal fire bender... Safe to say, Percy was not that happy. I mean, yeah, he was happy that you were happy, but fire and water don't really mix, and he knows it.
You're sitting at the camp bonfire, listening to the Apollo campers sing their songs. Leo's sitting next to you, laying his head on your shoulder. He's warm. His curly hair tickles your neck as he nuzzles his head into you more. Percy sits a few steps away. He's sitting with Annabeth. Hand in hand with his girlfriend, grumbling something to her. You don't hear his complaints, but you can hear Annabeth's scolding.
"Percy. She's happy with him. I know you don't want her to get hurt, but maybe just this one time, fire and water mix well."
Percy groans, his head tilting back slightly. "Annabeth... The only time water and fire mix is in Minecraft when you need cobblestone or obsidian! And even then, it's water and lava! Not water and fire!"
Annabeth sighs, silencing him with a kiss. "We aren't going over this again, Seaweed Brain. I'm right and you know it."
Leo's hand squeezes yours. His hands are calloused from all the work he does. You smile. Maybe this once, water and fire can balance each other out...
"Let go of my sister, Valdez."
Leo grins. "Or what?"
I hate this one more than words can describe. I'm so tired, I swear.

The Bachelorette: Toph Beifong Edition - Who is the Dad?
(Adapted from a Twitter thread of mine)
Since I’ve been asked several times if I know the answer to this question, let’s just compile a post.
Who is the father of Toph’s children? A comprehensive guide of the five most cited candidates.
It’s stated in canon that Lin and Suyin have different fathers. Right away this complicates matters as we can’t use the evidence for one sister and apply it to the other.
So let’s break them down separately, starting with the youngest.
Suyin Beifong
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bachelor #1: Sokka
Tumblr media
We all know who he is. The man, the myth, the legend himself. FOR: Probably the most popular as he’s a fan favorite and canon tells us he never married or had children (not officially).
Toph had a crush on him in childhood, and Sokka considered her his best friend, so it’s not impossible these two developed romantic feelings down the line, especially if Sokka’s long-time squeeze Suki was out of the picture. Suki doesn’t seem to be around for unknown reasons in LOK.
Suyin has a noticeably swarthy complexion compared to her mother or sister, which many credit to Sokka.
Her more light-hearted and free-spirited personality compared to Lin is also cited as potentially coming from Sokka.
AGAINST: Sokka is absent from Lin and Suyin lives in flashbacks. Even though we see he still works with Toph well into adulthood and there doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between them.
After losing his own mother and his father being absent due to the war for most of his childhood, it seems unlikely that Sokka wouldn’t be present in his child’s life.
Some fans argue that perhaps Sokka didn’t know Suyin was his daughter, but considering that Sokka and Toph stayed close friends and worked together into adulthood, it’s hard to believe that brilliant detective Sokka wouldn’t have put it together. Unless Toph went out of her way to deceive Sokka, but given their positive relationship it seems out of character for Toph to deprive Sokka of his own child and vice verse.
CONCLUSION: Unlikely.
Unless more information comes out to explain what reasons there could’ve been to keep Sokka away from the girls, this theory falls apart. There just isn’t enough evidence to support both him and Toph acting so bizarrely unlike themselves
Bachelor #2: Satoru
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Satoru was an engineer and industrialist who worked for the Earthen Fire Refinery. Lao Beifong (Toph’s dad) left him in charge after Satoru’s corrupt Uncle had a change of heart and resigned.
Satoru is kind and naive to a fault. He has an “adorkable” quality about him and is a HUGE Toph fan.
FOR: Toph became co-executive-partners for Earthen Fire Refinery with Satoru, and although we never saw them progress to a relationship, there was clear mutual attraction.
Satoru admired Toph greatly and advocated for her against his bosses; his Uncle and Toph’s father.
He has wavy hair that resembles Suyin’s.
Works with metal. Zaofu is made of metal. That’s about it.
AGAINST: There isn’t a whole lot to go off of. Satoru isn’t even mentioned by Toph when he isn’t around, and despite her strong interest in him in The Rift story, in Imbalance Toph seems more interested in Sokka, indicating she may have moved back to her initial crush.
Satoru’s naïveté and capitalist employment practices inadvertently served as a catalyst for the bender supremacy movement in the colonies. Womp womp.
Neither he nor Toph has Suyin’s tanned complexion. So where did it come from?
CONCLUSION: Possible
Satoru’s presence is so vague that it’s hard to make a case for him other than a case from exclusion. There aren’t any huge issues disqualifying him, but neither is there much to support him over other candidates.
Bachelor #3: Sun
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sun was a street urchin and prodigy lava bender competing in underground fighting tournaments until Toph plucked him from obscurity and made him her student.
FOR: The resemblance. He’s swarthy, he has a similar smirk and distaste for authority, and is a young prodigy bender.
His distaste for authority and rebellious spirit make him a suitable match for Toph, especially if she was trying to reconnect with her old self by then.
He was a wild spirit and not fan of Aang and the group due to perceiving them as being subservient to the Earth King. This makes a case for why Toph may not have told anyone he was the father, and is more justified than hiding it from Sokka if he were the dad.
He spent time with
Toph as her student, presumably.
AGAINST: Toph was police chief by then (I know, I hate it). If Sun remained a hooligan, they may not have still been compatible.
Sun is never mentioned outside of the one comic he appears in. Despite her initial fascination with him, Toph seems to have forgotten him.
There is no indication from what we saw that Toph’s fascination with him was in any way romantic, but rather she was intrigued by his bending abilities.
CONCLUSION: Possible
I personally find him the most likely candidate simple due to Suyin’s looks and personality. Sun and Toph not working out due to her job as a cop and him being an anti-authority hooligan could well explain why Toph doesn’t talk about Suyin’s father. Their relationship could’ve ended disastrously.
Sun may have also been a catalyst for Toph reflecting on what she had become and deciding to abandon her job as chief of police, deciding to instead go be a swamp with in retirement.
But this is all speculation.
Bachelor #4: Someone else!
Tumblr media
A character we haven’t met and who hasn’t been named.
FOR: We have no information so it could be anyone.
AGAINST: Why name-drop Lin’s dad and not Suyin’s unless there’s reason to hide it?
CONCLUSION: Possible. But why?
The most boring possibility.
Bachelor #5: Kanto
Tumblr media
FOR: He’s the only canon relationship for Toph we’ve had confirmed.
AGAINST: It’s been stated clearly that Lin had a different father from Suyin, and there isn’t a good reason to suspect Toph is lying.
CONCLUSION: Unlikely.
That’s about it for Suyin. So let’s get into her older sister.
Lin Beifong
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The GOAT and the most unfairly disrespected character in LOK.
Bachelor #1: Sokka Again
Tumblr media
He really was a rizz-bender in the end… FOR: Same reasons. Fan favorite. Him and Toph are BFFs for life.
Older Lin has a hairline very similar to Katara’s. Could that be a sign of Sokka’s genes?
AGAINST: Same reasons. Why would Sokka not be involved in her life? Why would Toph lie about him?
Even worse, Lin was in a serious relationship with Tenzin for years. They were even engaged at one point. Seeing as Tenzin is Sokka’s nephew, if he were Lin’s father it would’ve made Lin and Tenzin first cousins. I doubt Toph would’ve hidden her child’s parentage to the point she would allow incest.
CONCLUSION: Impossible.
For all of our sanity, let’s not make kissing-cousins a thing in Avatar.
As Sokka would say, “MAJOR OOGIE!”
Bachelor #2: Satoru
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FOR: Same reasons as Suyin
The hair resemblance is still there, but there’s no longer the issue of skin tone. Satoru is a similar complexion.
AGAINST: Why would Toph lie about Lin’s father being named Kanto? Unless there was a falling out we’ve never heard about.
Toph just didn’t seem to be that into Satoru after their initial appearance, and she never brings him up outside of dealing with the company.
CONCLUSION: Possible
Probably the most likely candidate at this time, though the Kanto question is still an odd curveball.
Bachelor #3: Sun
Tumblr media Tumblr media
FOR: Same reasons as Suyin.
Sun and Lin’s hair have some similarity.
AGAINST: Same reasons as Suyin x10.
Toph would‘ve been at the height of her role as police chief. Not exactly a great time to be having affairs with hooligans who oppose authority. (Unless maybe Bryke wants to decanonize Toph becoming a cop? Pretty please? Hey, I can dream!)
CONCLUSION: Unlikely
Although Sun has more reason for Toph to lie about Lin’s parentage and throw out the made-up name “Kanto”, there just isn’t enough to support the idea, especially given how strict and serious Lin’s personality can be compared to her sister.
Bachelor #4: Kanto
Tumblr media
FOR: Toph said Lin’s dad was a nice guy named Kanto but that it didn’t work out between them. We’ve been given no concrete reason to believe Toph was being deceptive.
That’s about it.
AGAINST: Who?
Seriously, not even a flashback or a picture? No one else ever mentions him? Sus. Even Asami’s mom got a character design.
CONCLUSION: Possible
It could just be some rando named Kanto no one stayed in contact with.
Anti-climactic but sometimes life be like that.
Bachelor #5: Zuko
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah. That Zuko. Fire Lord Zuko. Son of Ursa and Ozai. Great grandson of Roku. The Blue Spirit. Aka the fandom bicycle.
Buckle up. This one is a doozy.
FOR: Politically it’s a smart match. Zuko has to make amends with the Earth Kingdom. Political marriages were a common tool to broker peace between nations. Toph is EK nobility from the fine house of Beifong and would be an ideal candidate.
Toph has the capacity to be a refined Lady and hold court, she just chooses not to.
Toph has a built-in perfect response anytime Zuko starts to spiral about his scar. “Looks fine to me!” She’s the only person who has never seen it and doesn’t associate him with a scar upon mention.
Toph seems to have a small crush by the end of Book 3, insisting on going on a field trip with him and glomping onto him. In the comics, she roots for Zuko over Sokka in a sword match, indicating she may have transferred her crush from Sokka to Zuko.
Iroh would be all for it. He loves Toph. He even calls them a perfect match for each other in Legacy of the Fire Nation.
Mai dumped Zuko in The Promise and as of yet they haven’t gotten back together.
Toph and Zuko are depicted standing under twin doves together during their field trip. One of the doves even has a black spot where Zuko’s scar is, making it clear these doves represent him and Toph. Doves are a sign of eternal love. And just as Zuko walks away from Toph in this scene, the doves kiss. Perhaps a sign of their future?
Zuko and Toph both left abusive homes due to the Avatar. Zuko was banished and sent to chase Aang, while Toph ran away from her stifling home to teach Aang. Parallels.
Both act tough as nails but have a sensitive heart that can’t handle rejection.
Izumi and Lin look quite similar. Izumi has glasses (vision problems, like Toph) and Lin has a prominent facial scar (like Zuko). Were these intentional choices to tie them to their respective parents?
Zuko and Lin have facial similarities, and Izumi shares some with Toph’s mom Poppy.
AGAINST: While it’s easy to make a case for Toph crushing on Zuko, there is no evidence that Zuko has ever returned such feelings. He never even says her name for the entire show.
Toph claims he still owes her a life-changing field trip in old age, implying they didn’t get one.
That would’ve made Toph Fire Lady, even temporarily, and it seems like SOMEONE would’ve mentioned that! Kind of a big detail to leave out!
Zuko shows no interest in Lin. Then again he doesn’t show interest in Izumi either, so who knows?
All evidence is circumstantial at best.
CONCLUSION: Crack but compelling
I love everything about this theory but personal biases aside it’s just pure crack.
Still, I’ll leave you with this: It gives a good reason for Toph to lie about Lin’s parentage. And Kanto can be written as “冠都” which means “crown capital”.
You’ve heard the evidence! So you decide!
