I stumbled upon this meme, a couple of days ago and I thought, since it's been quite a while since I posted anything LoK related reblogs don't count it would be cool to give it a go, while also freshen up some of my views on the series and... *he he he* while I was hoping for some of them to have changed over time, I see that most of them didn't🤣

Original template done by: purfectprincessgirl on deviantart

A bit of analysis is under 'keep reading', plus, some silver medals because like half of these weren't as easy to sort out as I thought 😅

WARNING: Long post ahead!

Favorite Character

Asami is no silver medal, she's the gold for me! Honestly, she should be the one in the image above (my n°1 favorite character in the series). The main reason I chose Korra for it was for the sake of not having repeats (she's my 2nd most fav character) 'cause Asami is unarguably my number one pick in another category (more on that way below)

Least Favorite Character

The author of the meme describes this category as follows: "LoK character you dislike the most, and they either annoy/bore you too much to ever enjoy their presence whenever they're on-screen"

Runner-up

Raiko embodies this definition to a tee, yet what Zaheer does to Korra during their confrontation in the Book 3 finale is plain torture and really painful to watch. I don't just dislike Zaheer, I hate the guy!

If it wasn't for the airbenders' intervention, he could and would have killed her - something Raiko would never be capable of, or even think of doing. Basically, he gets a pass for being harmless lol

Favorite Episode

This one may have been the hardest I had to consider. The runner-ups are too many to count, so I had to resort to the author's meaning yet again, to decide.

Long Live The Queen is an exciting episode with a lot going on - some of it being quite serious and grave, but with enough lightheartedness to not be an agonizing watch.

Watching Korra and Asami working as a well-oiled machine to escape not only imprisonment by the Earth Queen's men but also the dangers of the desert is a blast (plus, the more Asami gets to show off her skills and have relevancy in an episode, the better). Meanwhile, Mako's struggle and failure at getting Bolin to metalbend, Lin finding Naga and Pabu, and Korra getting to meet Zuko for the first time on screen are moments that lift off some of the tension from the fact that the Red Lotus are rapidly gaining on their hunt for the Avatar the on-screen assassination of the Earth Queen.

It's because of the balance between these elements that I chose this episode over the one I consider to be the best episode in the entire series.

Runner-up (among many!)

Korra Alone is a masterpiece of animated media and one of the best written episode in all of the avatar-verse.

To me, it cemented the titular character as one of the most significant, ground-breaking and inspiring protagonist of all time - I could go on and on about how great of an episode this is but I don't think I need to - yet, it's because of the heavy topics it deals with that I don't prefer it over many others...I love the episode immensely, but to see Korra go through such despair and torment is not exactly my idea of a good time😅

Least Favorite Episode

Quite the opposite to choosing a favorite episode, my least favorite episode has always been clear, no runner-ups needed.

In short, Beginnings is my least favorite episode because it is the answer to a question I never asked, as I stated at the end of this post of mine almost two years ago (see n°34). It is really hard to sit through these episodes for me.

Now, if you want a more fleshed out explanation - which, in turn, touches on some of the reasons why I picked my least favorite season as well - I encourage you to watch THIS video on youtube by Hello Future Me, if you're interested.

Favorite Season

I made this choice easier by counting how many episodes I love from each season, against how many I just like, otherwise it'd take me more than a day to make up my mind. As a result, Change won with me favoring 10 out of its 13 episodes, giving it a score of 77%.

With that in mind, the runner-up is...

Me loving 9 out of its 13 episodes gives it a score of 69%.

Looks like I'm on the boat that considers the second half of the series to be the "better" half, huh. I still would've placed Book 1 as the runner-up, thought - for two reasons only: Asami's untapped potential in that particular season and having more screen-time and dialogue than in Book 4, and me liking the main antagonist more (despite some issues I ultimately have with his execution).

*ehem* Anyway, Balance also has a far better finale in its favor, so it wins its silver medal fair and square!😁

Least Favorite Season

Even without giving it a score - which I still did, 43%, 6 out of 14 episodes - Spirits is my least favorite season, bar none.

Though, much quicker than talking about what I didn't like about this season (again, you can watch THIS video by Hello Future Me), is to talk about what I did like:

Delving into Korra, Tonraq and Senna's family dynamic (Unalaq gets included here but only for the first 4 episodes of the season), the introduction of Bumi and Kya, and their sibling dynamic with Tenzin and the appearance of Uncle Iroh! - these are the aspects, I think, the season touches on perfectly.

Then there's the not-so-perfect bits I still enjoyed, even though they went nowhere or got resolved in an unsatisfying way, like: Mako's detective work on the bombing of the SWT Cultural Center and finding out who's stealing Future Industries goods, which pushes Asami to having to sell a controlling portion of her company to no other than the one making profit out of the civil war between the tribes😱 Speaking of, Varrick's partnership with Bolin and the introduction of movers war propaganda, was fun but.....well, this is on the not-so-perfect stuff that I liked about Spirits so, yeah.

Most Overrated Character

One of the reasons for me to choose Kuvira is because I never shared other's fascination about her (which in most cases I've seen, it boils down to be either because of her looks, her fighting/bending skills, or both), nor did I ever bought into the parallelism they tried to draw between her and Korra.

But the one thing that could never get me on the Kuvira-train is the show going out of its way to try and give her the Avatar equivalent of Hitler seemingly redeeming qualities. Nothing Kuvira did since her raising to power across the EK, up to the end of the series, is justifiable or excusable.

Even so, I can't ignore the one thing I do like about her and that is Zelda Williams' flawless performance. I especially remember her speech in The Coronation, her delivery gave me chills! Throughout the season, honestly, there's like a haunting quality to her voice - it's like, I don't like the stuff she's saying, yet I still wanna listen lol Truly, she did incredible.

Oh! Almost forgot about the runner-up:

Originally, it was going to be Meelo (a petty choice on my part, I know) I can't believe I'm still salty about Patterns in Time

But I'll give the silver fairly to Zaheer because I seriously cannot get the hype for this guy. Even if he's my first exposure to an airbender actually murdering someone...even if he unlocked the ability to fly.

He may be a skillful martial artist, but if it weren't for the other members of the Red Lotus, Zaheer wouldn't be half as terrifying, imo. And he's also a coward.

Most Underrated Character

*sigh* Asami Sato, my beloved...do I need to elaborate on why this category (in my eyes) goes to no one but her? No matter, I've done it already: here (see n° 25)

It's also quite masterfully, and better explained here by Unicorn of War.

Ironically, I gave this category not one, but two runner-ups

Technically, Mako should be the runner-up.

To me, Korra is just as deserving of being the most underrated, underappreciated, and underestimated character in the whole series as Asami (then again, no repeats) - yet, Miss Sato is also mistreated (no pun intended) not only by others within the series but its creators, as well.

First thought of as one of the bad guys, Mike and Bryan created such an extraordinary character - with a killer design to boot! - who in spite of having less appearances and fewer lines than other 'main' characters, spoke loudly enough to write her own narrative. From the very first time we see her in Book 1, Asami pulled all the stops: She could've been a rival to Korra, an enemy to her friends, an ally to her hateful father...still, she ended up being one of the most compassionate, kindhearted and loyal characters in the series...despite all that, more often than not, the creators simply didn't know what to do with her💔

Now, imagine I didn't write all of that. That I don't put Asami above anyone else here.

Korra is the most underrated character in her own series, everybody knows this. The amount of complaints and criticism she gets to this day, unfairly so, is insane!

As for Mako, let's check the autho's definition of this category: "LoK character that you think doesn't get enough attention, as they're usually almost always forgotten about/bashed-on for the lamest of reasons in your eyes"

Well, in my opinion Mako does get a fair amount of attention, and while he does get forgotten from time to time, so are Asami and Bolin, so that doesn't bother me much. It's the last bit that gets me...

For the most part, he's hated because of the love triangle fiasco - a mess of a plot line that happened literally a decade ago. If to hold that sort of thing over one character isn't lame, I don't know what is - and I say this as a Korrasami shipper, an Asami simp and a Korra stan.

Moreover, these people easily gloss over the fact that both Korra and Asami moved on from that rather quickly, forgave Mako and still are good friends with him. More than underrated, I feel like he's misjudged - because those who complain about him don't take into account why he is the way he is, or rather, was.

They forget that, pretty much like almost everyone in LoK, he had a struggling childhood and went through his own share of trauma (like witnessing the murder of both your parents at the age of eight is no big deal) not to mention he had to be a parental figure and look after his little brother from a very young age, while fending for themselves on the streets...but besides all that, Mako was a 18 y/o teenager putting up a brooding front when the triangle happened, he should be expected to make stupid decisions, jeez!

If I had to blame someone for that mess, even today, it'd be the writers. To those who still shame and bash Mako for it, I'd tell you to either grow up or move on (if you're dumb enough that can't do both)

Favorite Villain

[I feel like, at this point, I've held anyone that's still reading this at gun point for too long. Let's speed up!]

Amon is my favorite villain of the series because of how entertaining he is to watch, maybe part of it has to do with the way he kind of resembles a classic horror movie baddy - he's definitely got the best design out of Korra's main antagonists (and I'm talking about masked Amon, not paint-faced Noatak). Steve Blum's performance is also a hook.

One of the first things I remembered when having to pick this one is how incredible I thought it was, back in the day, to have the first season's main threat be a waterbender. I know they did it first with Hamma in ATLA but she wasn't exactly a main villain.

Anyway, I'm aware Book 1 is quite contrived and it has lots of issues going on and off screen that I don't care to unpack. At the end, Amon is a fraud and, as a thread, he falls flat rather quickly. Despite being wasted potential, he had a good run. At least, he had one thing over Korra no other antagonist has and that's a frightening first impression.

Runner-up?

I don't think I have one...

Least Favorite Villain

Well, I already got Zaheer and Kuvira up there, and there's my 'no repeat' self-imposed rule. Btw, did you notice that it's a rule now? XD

I think it's fitting that my least favorite season has my least favorite villain. Give it up for UnaVaatu! One of the most bonkers concepts this show ever came up with is the 'Dark Avatar' ugh! because an Avatar shouldn't be either pure Light or Dark, sorry, not sorry. Also, spirit energy shouldn't be equal to laser beams - at least Kuvira had crazy engineering and mad science to make it so. UnaVaatu just...did it😂

Runner-up

I had to give Varrick the silver medal, simply because he isn't even a villain (ultimately, that is)...talk about wasted potential, this guy is frustrating in this regard, because he could've been a good one.

But...he had to conveniently spring a conscience in the middle of the last season, he had to turn good (sort of) and have a wedding. Well, at least he's a fun character *shrug*

Favorite Couple

It's all been said before - Korrasami belong together. Their relationship is supportive, caring and loving, and their characters fought against all odds to make it happen. Even if Korra is to answer a bigger calling as the Avatar, and Asami has to be at the helm of the largest company in Republic City, I just know, these two will always be there and committed to each other.

Runner-up

I almost didn't pick a runner-up, because I noticed that besides Korrasami, I don't give too much mind to shipping in this series. Then again, I can't deny that Tenzin and Pema's marriage is refreshing. I love how their personalities gel so well together and how she brings out the best in him.

Least Favorite Couple

When the description for this category said that non-canon ships can apply, well that is it...First, let me say that I never cared what other people ship and I still don't. You ship whatever you want! But I'll be damned if I don't find this revolting...and if there's even the tiniest need for me to explain my distaste for this pairing then there's something very wrong here.

How could anyone ship someone with the murderer of their last living relative - the one they were starting to rekindle their relationship with?! (*sigh* I explained it anyway) Not only Kuvira did it in cold blood, but even after the fact and wanting to atone for her other crimes, she never showed Asami any remorse for it.

(Feel free to correct me if it did happen in the comics, I honestly don't remember)

Runner-up

I know I sound like an hypocrite, I'm sorry. But shipping Amorra should be illegal. Ugh, I hate that I know what their ship name is.

The Mission: Bolin x Reader Series Part Two

Bolin continues to be an annoyingly adorable and a visit to Zafou brings a lot of things into perspective

Part One here

Part Three here

Part Four here

___

One of the worst parts of being stuck on a train was you couldn’t avoid people you didn’t like, such as your sister’s fiance. You and Bataar Jnr never got on. You think he saw you as a threat considering you were Kuvira’s sister and honestly the thought she cared for you enough for it to be a challenge the one thing Kuvira truly loved was laughable.

Herself.

Nobody could ever challenge that love but Bataar hadn’t got that yet.

So he treated you as if you were both fighting for Kuvira’s attention and spoke down to you every chance he could. It didn’t help his superiority complex that he was a genius while basic science confused you and he sure loved reminding you of it.

You were working in the lab, trying your best to make sense of the new data for your sister when a loud noise made you jump. "Y/n where are the reports?" someone yelled and you turned to see Bataar staring at you. "Are they not in the file?" you asked confused, your temper already starting to grow at his tone. You hated interacting with him, he was always so rude and pretentious. He wasn’t your boss but he sure loved bossing you around. He was definitely the worst of the Beifongs. Why couldn’t Kuvira have dated one of his siblings you asked yourself for the millionth time since she’s started dating Bataar.

"Obviously not or i’d have them” Bataar retorted back “did you forget to make them this morning?". "No i'm sure i did them". "Sure or certain?". You paused and Bataar raised an eyebrow "while you try and think of a response why don’t you just go print me off a new report?". You went to reply but Bataar had turned his back to you "right now". He carried on with what he was doing as if you’d already left and you glared. You put down your own notes and walked towards the door. Just as you left the room Bolin appeared. "Y/n" he grinned and after interacting with Bataar it was nice to see a real live human. "Hi" you smiled genuinely pleased he was here "what are you doing here? Aren’t you assisting Kuvira?". "I am but she wants Varrick’s notes so i’ve come to get them. How’s your day going?". "Wow she must be really desperate to ask for Varrick’s notes, they’re more complicated than the actual science" you commented steering the conversation away from your current situation and Bolin laughed. "You're right there! Hey what times your shift tonight because i've heard there's this new mover out and i..." Bolin started when he was abruptly cut off "Y/n" someone yelled and you jumped. You and Bolin turned to see Bataar angrily storming over to you "did i not tell you to and get the reports right away! Why are you standing there like a lump?". "I...i was heading there" you started but he rolled his eyes "don’t lie right to my face, you may be Kuvira’s sister but that doesn’t win you any leniencies, you can’t just get out of work when you want to. You have to work like the rest of us”. You went to explain yourself when Bolin frowned "It was my fault Bataar" he said “she was on her way out but I stopped her. I was asking y/n about her shifts tonight". "It’s valiant of you to defend her Bolin but don’t bother. Y/n’s always had disgusting work ethic long before you got here". "I wasn’t defending her it was the truth and y/n is one of the hardest workers i’ve ever seen!". "Ow yeah then why am i here without the daily report in my hand?". "The daily report...i saw Varrick reading one this morning, did you check the folder?". "Of course i checked the folder" Bataar snapped and Bolin paused "the green one? Kuvira said she wants all daily material going in that one as of monday, remember?". Bataar paused and looked down. He walked over to the desk and picked up the green folder.

There in the first slot was the report.

Bataar paused and Bolin nodded "so it wasn’t y/n’s fault, her work is brilliant as usual". "She got one thing right that’s hardly brilliant" Bataar snapped pushing past you both and leaving the room. "Thanks Bolin" you said embarrassed and the earth bender smiled kindly at you "no problem! Is he always so...does he always talk to you like that?". You shrugged "he figures i only got my place here because i’m Kuviras sister so he’s determined not to give me any credit. Kind of weird considering he’s known me since I was five but it doesn’t really bother me. It’s better than the people who are extra nice to me because she’s my sister". "But still that’s not fair" Bolin frowned "you’re not Kuvira’s sister, you’re y/n". You smiled at him, slightly awestruck at how great the boy in front of you was. "Well i think you’re the only person who sees me as that” you replied softly “I don’t even think Kuvira does...". "Nonesense! She loves you and we all see how much work you do! This place would fall apart with you". You shook your head "Kuvira wouldn’t let that happen, if i left nothing would change". "Yes it would” Bolin said matter of factly. "Ow yeah what? Bataar would explode after losing his punching bag?". "No" Bolin grinned "if you left i’d notice, i’d miss you". You paused shocked at how open Bolin was and babbled "i...you would?". "Of course!" Bolin cried "you’re my favourite person here! I love talking to you if you left...well i’d certainly smile a lot less". "I don’t believe you physically can smile less" you teased but you were beaming. Bolin had just flipped your bad mood into an amazing one. "No i’d defo smile less if i didn’t have lunch with you every day!" Bolin nodded determinedly and you looked down. "Thanks Bolin" you said awkwardly and you hesitated before replying "I..i’d miss you too, you make all this bearable". Bolin smiled "anytime y/n" and patted your arm. You watched him walk down the hall and knew right then, you’d fully fallen for him and there was no going back. However there was also no stopping Kuvira when she set out to do something leaving you at an impasse...this was not going to be fun.

3 weeks later

Kuvira had officially announced her plan to become the great Uniter and only one thing stood in her way. Zafou. Kuvira wouldn’t let sentiments stop her and so she travelled full speed into your past home ready to rip it from the hands of your family. Only she didn’t class them as that anymore and you wondered if she ever did. So far Kuvira had kept you away from the Beifongs but she apparently decided now was the time to face them.

You felt sick the whole way here and that only got worse as you walked up the path to your home, which you supposed you should stop calling it now. “You okay?” Bolin asked noticing your nerves. Kuvira told him she wanted him there to show her intentions were good but you knew that was a lie. You nodded back “as good as I can be...what about you?”. “I’m a little nervous” he admitted “I just hope Opal listens to reason and doesn’t hate me”. “I can’t imagine anyone could hate you” you replied without thinking and Bolin smiled. “That’s so nice, thank you y/n. I know I did the right thing joining Kuvira because I met you. Kuvira can’t be that bad if someone like you is her sister”. You blushed and swallowed down that familiar guilt. Luckily you were saved from the effort of replying as you were shown into the living room.

All the family was present and they glared at you. Well more accurately at Kuvira and Bataar but still you could tell they weren’t pleased with you either. An argument began soon enough and even Bolin’s attempts to smooth it over fell flat. Finally, the room turned to you. “Y/n” Su said softly and you felt your heart skip. This woman was the only mother you’d ever known and you’d betrayed her. All she’d done for you, the home she’d opened to you, the love she’d given you...you’d just thrown it back in her face. You could barely look her in the eye but managed it long enough to let her know you’d heard. "Firstly I want to say it’s good to see you, you look well”. You nodded in reply unsure if you’d be able to say anything without crying. Su sighed “You’ve always been more mindful than your sister, surely you think what she is doing is wrong? This is your home too! Why would you want to destroy that, you’re a part of this family and you always will be". You managed not to wince and stared at the floor. You could feel Kuvira watching you and wouldn’t break down while she was here. You’d come too far to fold now, you just had to get through this and it’d be over. "I think my sister is offering stability and you should take it, it’s what the earth kingdom needs...to be united" you managed through gritted teeth. "I agree we need to come together but like this?" Su asked. You shrugged "if my sister hadn’t stepped in we wouldn’t have a kingdom left to unite". Su sighed and you saw the others look away in disgust, you’d finally lost them forever.

Kuvira took over after that and she told them the terms of her deal and thinly threatened them. You and Bolin stood with your heads down and just let it happen while Bataar Jnr actually seemed to revel in. Finally you were free to go but Bolin paused “y/n wait, can you help me find Opal’s room? I always get lost here but you know this place right? I need to speak to her. I know if I get her one on one I’ll be able to straighten this all out”. You knew Kuvira had heard that so there was no getting out of it. You nodded and led Bolin down a different corridor.

You and Bolin waited anxiously in the hallway and he sighed “well that could’ve gone better”. You nodded “they all hate me”. Bolin shook his head “no they’re just upset anyone can see that, I’m sure once we’ve spoken to them and cleared this all up it’ll be fine”. As if on cue a familiar Airbender appeared and Bolin gasped. "Opal!" Bolin called suddenly and you jumped. Opal eyed you both before sighing, still she walked towards you. Bolin greeted her but didn’t receive much back. He trailed off awkwardly and glanced to you "Opal this is...ow wait of course you already know each other" Bolin said momentarily forgetting you were adoptive sisters. "We did" Opal said pointedly and she pushed past you. You watched her go and got ready to act as Kuvira told you to. "We’re still family Opal, we grew up together" you called after her, playing the part perfectly. "We stopped being anything the minute you threatened my family" Opal glared and walked away. Bolin stared "Opal wait!" and rushed after her. You let him go relieved to finally be alone. You rushed back to the train before realising Kuvira would want a report you didn’t feel like giving. So you headed to the balcony compartment, your secret place of solitude and sat there staring off into space.

You forgot one other person knew about your hiding place though, someone you’d showed it to on his first night here. “There you are!” a voice cried and you turned to see Bolin appear out of the hatch. “Have you been out here long? Nobody knew where you were”. “A couple of hours” you shrugged. Bolin didn’t comment, he just came to sit beside you and sighed I need your help!”. Bolin told you everything Opal had said to him and it didn’t sound good. She was mad at him and thought he was betraying her by working for Kuvira. She claimed he’d changed and wasn’t the good man she first met. She said Kuvira had corrupted him and Bolin was beside himself. She was questioning their relationship and wasn’t sure how they could get through this. "Y/n do you think Opal’s right? You know me and her best, what do you think?" Bolin asked tears in his eyes.

Here it was. Exactly what Kuvira had wanted from the start, the opportunity for you to isolate Bolin from the Beifongs and here was your chance. Like a coward you took it. "I think Opal’s overreacting, if she trusted you surely she wouldn't have a problem with it, right?". You saw Bolin frown as your words sunk in and felt a pang in your chest. Bolin nodded "that’s what i worried about, maybe we're just drifting apart now. If she can’t even trust me...". You nodded your head not trusting yourself to say anything. "Thanks y/n you’re a great friend" Bolin said suddenly and he wrapped you in a tight hug. You were smothered by affection and it made you feel sick to know Bolin classed you as a friend after what you’d just done to him. "You okay y/n?" Bolin asked realising you looked unwell and you nodded. "I’m fine i just...sorry i have to go" and you rushed away.

You got back to your room and didn’t have the energy to do anything but collapse into bed. You buried yourself in blankets and finally fell into a fitful sleep. You were awoken by your door slamming and jolted away. You blinked and saw your sister had finally tracked you down but she didn’t look mad. "Congratulations are in order i hear" Kuvira cried and you rubbed your eyes still half asleep "what?". "Bolin left Zafou with us and rumour is he broke up with Opal too. After speaking with you if what Varrick says can be believed". "It can't" you retorted "Varrick's a compulsive liar". "I know but Zhu Li is not, she confirmed his speculation and Bolin was absent all evening, i think you should go see him, seal the deal". "Seal the deal? I thought the plan was to get Bolin away from Opal, isn’t it over now?". Kuvira chuckled "not even close little sister now the avatar’s back we need to work and quickly, get dressed. Wear something nice, go find Bolin and find a way to solidify the two of you. A sudden confession of feelings, a revelation he never should’ve been with Opal, a shoulder to cry on" she smirked and you felt like your skin was crawling. "However you do it, just do it quickly and then the earth empire is ours" she smiled. Kuvira didn’t even bother asking your opinion or agreement she just headed to the door before pausing as if a thought occurred to her. "You’ve done well little sister, just this one more task and the kingdom is ours like we always wanted" she smiled before leaving. "Like you’ve always wanted”, you corrected her into the empty room.

It was weird, no matter how much you disliked your sister you still did what she said. Part of you was just terrified to go against her and so you picked the easier option of doing what she said. You got dressed and made your way to Bolin’s compartment. You knocked on his door and heard movement behind it. Slowly the door opened and Bolin’s sweet face appeared. "Hey" you said softly and Bolin nodded to you wiping his eyes quickly "hi y/n". He’d clearly been crying but he moved to let you into the room. "So i heard rumours and came to see if they’re true. I wanted to make sure you were okay if you and Opal really did...". "We did" Bolin nodded "we agreed it was over, i suggested it and she agreed...". "Bolin i’m so sorry" you frowned and hugged him. Bolin hugged you tightly and you held him.

You comforted him for a while before he quietened down and you glanced at him feeling guilty. Silence settled and you searched for something to say. “Is there anything I can do to help?” you asked and he pulled back “no I...I mean this is a good thing and honestly I’ve been thinking about it for a while”. “You have?” you asked shocked and Bolin nodded. “Opal and I have been distant for a fair amount of time now and then I met this person...you”. You blinked “I...you like me?”. Bolin nodded “yes and I have for weeks, I felt so guilty because I was with Opal but now that’s all over there’s nothing wrong with my feelings or doing this” and he moved in closer.

You wanted to kiss Bolin and had for a while but something made you pause. You just got the overwhelming sensation enough was enough, you had to stop this. You couldn’t take advantage of Bolin like this. You wouldn’t, not for anyone. "Bolin you’re just upset you broke up a few hours ago!". "No...i mean yes i'm upset but i can’t help thinking this is bittersweet! I haven't felt the same for Opal since i met you and we just fit y/n! We have the same ideologies and no conflicts. We’re both so alike, you make me laugh and i think i make you happy" Bolin said bashfully. "I like you a lot and that’s why after the shock had worn off I couldn’t stop thinking about you". Bolin tried to take your hand, staring at you so adoringly you couldn’t cope. You stood up feeling as if your blood was on fire, you hated that you’d done this. You’d tricked Bolin into feeling this way, you hated yourself for your involvement in this and hated how weak you were that you hadn’t refused to do this for Kuvira. Now you’d ruined Bolin’s relationship and messed with his head. You were repulsed with yourself and when Bolin went to touch your hand you snatched it away scared you’d taint him. "Don’t i....you have no idea who i am, the horrible person i am" you spluttered and Bolin shook his head "don’t be silly! You’re one of the sweetest people i know! That’s what i like about you" Bolin grinned and you were furious. You had to make him realise you were awful. You didn’t care about anything apart from helping him see that and so ripped the plaster off. "I tricked you Bolin, all this...your break up with Opal...it’s all my fault! I did it!" you yelled and Bolin paused "what?". "I came between the two of you on purpose, i made Opal seem unreasonable and made myself seem like the better option so you'd fall for me and be solidified with the republic. It was part of her plan and i tricked you willingly, Bolin i’m so sorry" you finished and realised you were crying. Bolin was silent just staring at you in disbelief "When you say she...you mean Kuvira. She asked you to mess with me? To what...seduce me?". "I guess" you agreed "she prepped me on your life, your likes and dislikes, how to act around you, she put us together....". "Y/n did she force you?" Bolin asked earnestly. "No!" you said forcefully realising the angle Bolin was trying to see you in. "She just asked me to do it for the empire...i could see you were valuable so i agreed but i never expected to feel this guilty about it but I did. I felt awful the whole way through it but still i did it, still i manipulated you and made you break up with Opal. I did that on purpose". "So all the time, our friendship our...this" he said gesturing between you both "was that you acting?". You hesitated "yes and no" wiping away tears "i got caught up in it Bolin, I promise! I didn’t think you’d be so...so you! I was expecting to have to act but i didn’t have to, not really. I did enjoy being around you, i didn’t have to pretend....but i was still doing it with Kuvira’s goal in mind. I’m not a good person Bolin and you deserve better than me". In reply Bolin just nodded “I’d like to be alone now please”. “Of course” you nodded and head hung low you walked from the room.

Somehow you felt even worse than you did an hour ago.

Today had been the worst day of your life. You turned your back on your family, abandoned your home forever and finally broke Bolin. Things couldn’t look much worse.

I am so upset (not) at LoK for making women muscular I will never get over it 😤

Also, the audacity to say the LoK women are less sexy than the ATLA women is WILD considering the Atla girls are minors

The Mission: Bolin x reader series - Part One

Imagine being Kuvira’s younger sister and her recruiting you to seduce Bolin...however the plan works a little too well and you can’t tell if you’re pretending anymore.

Part Two Here

Part Three Here

Part Four Here

Your sister was your world for as long as you could remember. Your first word was her name and you idolised her as many little sisters do with their older sisters. You used to think your sister was the best person in the world. So much so, you took her side in the argument with your parents and when they sent her away you refused to stay with them and went with her. It wasn’t until you were older did you begin to rethink your logic.

Your sister did care for you in her own way but she was selfish. Your needs and goals only mattered to her when they aligned with what she wanted and when they didn’t...she could be maliciously sneakily and would more often than not manipulate you into doing what she wanted all along. So despite your love for your foster family the Beifongs, when Kuvira left she played the sister card and you caved going with her despite the fact the Beifongs had always been kinder to you. Your sister just had a hold over you that you couldn’t break and so you followed her around like a lost puppy doing everything she said.

That’s how you found yourself in your current predicament.

The moment Kuvira heard about Bolin she worked at getting him on her side. He was a master earth bender, fiercely loyal and one of the few lava benders in the world! Kuvira had succeeded in getting him to join her army but that wasn’t enough. She wanted insurance he would always be loyal to her and that’s where you came in.

The plan was you would seduce Bolin, get him to leave his girlfriend Opal and solidify Bolin’s commitment to Kuvira. So she began coaching you on ways to approach the earth bender, starting with ways you would be an improvement on everything he had with Opal. "You know Opal y/n, she’s all butter wouldn’t melt. If Bolin fell for that he must be attracted to kindness so act like she does but better. Act all sweet and kind but confident! Act adorable but clever and dignified too. Opal’s okay but nobody wants someone who’s just nice so you have to be more than nice, okay?" Kuvira barked at you in one of many coaching sessions.

You’d originally protested of course. Not only did you know Opal and were fond of her, you were messing with a couple all for your sister’s gain. Your sister had always hated Opal and you suspected that sweetened the deal which made her pursue Bolin even more fiercely. She bombarded you with words, guilt trips and promises until you agreed to atleast talk to Bolin. That small allowance encouraged her and Kuvira hadn’t let you forget it. She now had a full 6-week plan and today was the day you put it into action.

“Y/n!” Kuvira barked “I said do you understand?”. You nodded “I understand” and looked back at the floor. Your older sister smiled at you slightly and seemed to go to say something before she thought better of it and left the room. “Good....dismissed”. You gratefully fled from the room.

Later that day

Your arrived at the dining room exactly on time and saw Kuvira spot you and smile slyly. The room was set up as she’d planned. All the tables were full except for the table Bolin was on. So you took a plate, grabbed some food and made your way over to his table. You made a show of checking the room for seats and got Bolin’s attention. He smiled at you as you came over and you smiled back shyly. “Could I please sit with you?” you asked “everywhere else is full”. Bolin nodded “sure! It’d be nice to have company and i’m just pleased to see someone I know”. “Ow yeah you’re the avatar’s friend right? Bolin?” you asked staying well clear of the topic that was Opal. Bolin nodded “yeah we met in Zafou all those years ago”. You nodded “it’s nice to see you again, how are you settling in?”. Bolin sighed “honestly it’s been a little difficult. I usually have no problem making friends but i’ve struggled a bit here”. You frowned at that, your heart panging guiltily. Kuvira had purposefully isolated Bolin so he’d be easy pickings when you approached him. “Ow no” you said faking surprise “don’t worry some people here can be quite clicky but we’re not all like that. Have you had a tour of the train yet? Or seen the roof?”. Bolin’s eyes lit up “there’s a roof?”. You laughed “yeah where you can go outside and stuff. We’re not really supposed to use it when the train’s moving but I can show you if you want?”. “Yes please!” Bolin cried and you smiled “how about now?”. “Done” Bolin said throwing his food down and you laughed standing up.

So far so good. The plan was going exactly as planned.

“Y/n where do you think you’re going?” Kuvira called and you froze. Phase two was in motion.

“I’m taking Bolin on a tour of the train” you explained and your sister pretended to narrow her eyes. “Have you finished all those tests I told you to run?”. “Yes Kuvira” you replied pretending to be annoyed with her, which wasn’t so hard to do. “Are they on my desk?” she asked and you paused. “I...I was going to...”. “Going to isn’t any use to me, do it”. You swallowed “I’ll do it as soon as I’ve given Bolin the tour”. “Not after, do it now. It’s already late” Kuvira barked and you hung your head “yes Kuvira”. She nodded at your response and then nodded to Bolin before going back to her seat. Once she was gone you looked back up “mind if we take a quick detour?”. “Not at all!” Bolin smiled sympathetically “lead the way”.

You led Bolin down some halls and into your private study. “I’ll just be a second, the reports should be right...and they’re not here” you sighed. “Hey don’t worry take your time, can I help look for them?”. You smiled “thanks, they’re in a red folder if you see it lying around”. Bolin started looking and broke the silence first “so is Kuvira always like that?”. You sighed “no...she’s just under a lot of stress lately that’s all. But still she can be such a pain sometimes. Don’t get me wrong I love her but she can be so driven it makes her emotionless sometimes. You have no idea the pains of having a serious responsible pouty older sibling".

There was the trap and Bolin took it.

"Actually I do!" Bolin cried "Do you remember my older brother Mako? He’s a police officer now as if he needed a more serious career. Before that he was the leader of our pro-bending team and he’s always pouting!". You laughed at that without even meaning to and smiled "you’re not messing with me? Your brother is really like that?". "Yes and I can prove it" Bolin grinned digging in his pocket. He pulled out a battered wallet, opened it and took a piece of paper out of it "look this is me and Mako". You saw a photo of a slightly younger Bolin standing beside Mako. True to form Mako looked angry and had a slight pout as Bolin grinned at the camera. You laughed as you inspected the picture "was he smouldering on purpose?". "No that’s just his face" Bolin cried "trust me i know what it’s like to have an older sibling you’re nothing like". "It’s nice to know there’s someone who does" you smiled. Bolin blushed and deciding not to come on too strong you changed the subject. You conveniently found the folder and turned to Bolin “now about that tour”.

You took Bolin through all the best places onboard all leading up to the main attraction. “So this is the gym, there's a small study down there we’re free to use and some cabins down that corridor. That’s where my room is”. “Really?” Bolin asked “my room’s down there! What number are you?”. “24, what about you?”. “I’m 22!” Bolin cried “we must be right next door to each other”. You grinned “that’s so great” but again felt that uncomfortable sensation knowing you were lying to him. “Well the good news is you’re really close to the roof then” you smiled and led him into the engine room. You walked up the ladder and paused “you’re not scared of heights are you?”. Bolin shook his head “not at all! Although there was this time I had to hold onto the wing of a plane while my friend Asami flew it and that was terrifying!”. You chuckled “you have to tell me the rest of that story but first we climb”.

You went up first and waited at the top to help Bolin out. “Woah!” Bolin cried. You smiled at his reaction but hastily pulled him back as he began to lean on the railings precariously. “Careful, like I said this is technically an out of bounds area”. Bolin nodded “ow yeah...thanks. I can be quite clumsy”. You smiled “it’s no problem” and stepped back. The two of you admired the mountains as they passed and Bolin smiled “this is definitely a big perk of the job”. You nodded “totally. Whenever I can’t sleep or just need time to myself I come up here. Nobody uses it so it’s basically always empty”. Bolin nodded “that sounds nice”. “Feel free to use it anyway time you want” you offered and Bolin’s eyes lit up “really?”. You nodded “of course! We’re friends aren’t we?”. Bolin’s smile got even brighter “yes of course! I’m so happy i’ve made my first work friends! We can gossip any out colleagues and go on work social events and coordinate our shifts and...am I getting carried away? I do that sometimes?”. You shook your head and smiled, a genuine smile you didn’t even have to think about. “No that all sounds lovely. Truth be told I don’t have many friends around here to do all that stuff with. A lot of the others are either too uncomfortable around me being Kuvira’s sister to act normal or they resent me for being the Great Uniter’s family. I know some of them think that’s the only reason i’m here...” you said trailing off bitterly. That bitterness was all real and you didn’t need to fake it for a second. You allowed yourself to wallow in it when Bolin placed a hand on your arm breaking you out of it. You looked up to see Bolin had a sympathetic but not patronising smile on his face. “I can imagine that’s really hard and I’m really sorry you’ve had to deal with that. Hopefully I can be a good friend to you and that won’t happen anymore”. You felt pleased by Bolin’s kind words and smiled another genuine smile “thanks Bolin, that means a lot you’re...really nice”. Bolin grinned “I try!” and you laughed. This couldn’t have gone any better, you knew Kuvira would be thrilled.

She was. After that Bolin began seeking you out and you quickly became friends. You hung out at lunch, took shifts together and even spent your few free hours together. You were basically joint at the hip but you found it was no longer something you had to do but more of a habit. You sought out Bolin’s company because you enjoyed it! Bolin was kind, funny and a really good friend. You could see why Opal liked him so much and felt yourself begin to appreciate his charm and personality. Not to mention you also started noticing other things about him. Like how his eyes lit up even brighter when he was excited or how insanely in shape he was. You thought his forearms were just the result of thick metal armour so when you saw his arms were actually that huge your eyes almost popped out of your head. Kuvira’s plan was definitely working, Bolin was becoming more fond of you every single day but it wasn’t a one-way process. There were side effects and you were experiencing them first hand.

Your growing feelings for Bolin made it harder to justify what you were doing. He was honestly one of the sweetest people in the world and you were trying to harm him for what? Some petty war your sister was starting? Her own ego? You’d become more conflicted and were trying to avoid Bolin a little to give yourself time to think, however Bolin wasn’t one of those friends you could avoid. You entered the cafeteria discreetly and headed to the back in the opposite direction of Bolin. You thought you’d gotten away with it when you heard someone stand up and knew instinctively who it was. "Y/n over here!" Bolin yelled and you blushed as everyone in the cafeteria looked over. You noticed your sister watching and purposefully didn’t look at her as you made your way to Bolin. "I've been looking for you all day!" Bolin cried "we have the night shifts together this week! How great a coincidence is that?". You glanced to where your sister sat "weird coincidence" you nodded "but i'm grateful! I bet you'll make the night shift interesting". Bolin nodded his head seriously "totally! I usually play whatever games i can, eye spy...riddles even though i don’t know many, tongue twisters....but my partners always tell me to be quiet so i don’t get to" Bolin said sadly and you felt genuine anger someone was mean to him. "Well i have no objection" you smiled "you can talk as much as you want. The more the better". Bolin’s face lit up "Nobody has ever told me i can talk as much as i want!" he cried *you really are the best friend ever!” and you laughed before feeling the familiar pang of guilt that now lived permanently in your stomach. You weren’t sure how much longer you could keep this up.

Unfortunately for you this was just the start of what Kuvira had planned
