EVEN IN THE LEGEND OF KORRA AANG SAVES THE DAY
AANG ALWAYS SAVES THE DAY

You traitor! I dedicated my life to you!

MY FUCKING HEART.

I like the smile on Katara’s face when Korra is restoring Lin’s bending.
She’s like ‘Aw yeah. So proud of you Korra. Avatar state yip yip just like Aang did back in the day.’
..While Tenzin is pooping his pants in amazement over there.
1. Noatak and Tarrlok
It’s safe to say that the boat scene was one of the most emotional and touching moments of the entire show. When it came down to it, they were just a pair of broken brothers. Tarrlok and Noatak were both head strong and driven people. They both believed they were doing right even though the way they were going at it was wrong. Noatak was evil in the sense that he hurt people but he was also good in the sense that he just wanted to change a serious and rising problem. Tarrlok was the same, he wanted to make Republic City the best it was but he was blinded by his drive and hurt people along the way.
Those poor brothers were victims of Yakone, a man who robbed them of their childhood. He controlled their lives. And even though he passed away, he still had a tight hold on both of the brothers. Tarrlok wanted to be something more than his father’s tool. Tarrlok wanted to be acknowledged by Republic City because in doing so, he would surpass his father. Noatak, I feel, was painfully innocent. He was so warped around the idea that bending was evil. It was all he’s ever experienced and all he’s ever known.
Every single time Amon spoke of the Equalists and his dream for equality, I couldn’t help but think that part of the reason he was doing all this was for Tarrlok. Tarrlok, his younger and only brother, represented how bending could be used for evil, how an innocent and kind hearted child could be forced to do horrible things, how easily bending could cause fear in people.
There was a moment when Noatak realized that he wasn’t alone, that someone still cared for him. A single tear was all it took to show that. Maybe all Noatak wanted to be loved, to know that he wasn’t alone, to know that his power wouldn’t have to be a curse, to know that someone understood. One tear for the single hope he had, a change at a new life.
The music was so simple and strangely peaceful. I hope Tarrlok came to terms with all the horrible things he had done and that not everything was his fault. I hope he forgave himself for letting his brother go, for not being strong to keep his damaged family together. I hope he knew that he was loved. Because underneath, he was still that young boy who viewed the world with such hopeful eyes. He was just a kind hearted boy who was corrupted by his father’s drive.
They just never had the chance to be happy together. I really would have liked that. What a sad reunion. And what a sad story they told.

#UGH I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD PUT SOME TRIGGER WARNING #BUT IDK WHICH WOULD WORK #THIS SCENE WAS SO GROSS #SO GROSS #AND POINTLESS #AND GROSS #YOU HAVE THREE CHILDREN TIED UP IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE #NOT OK#AND THEN YOU JUST MAKE MEELO SCREAM ‘PRISION BREAK’ LIKE IF NOTHING JUST HAD HAPPENED #WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???? #DONT BRYKE HAVE CHILDREN?? #I THINK BRYAN HAS A DAUGHTER #REALLY BRYAN?#WOULD THIS BE THE WAY YOUR KID WOULD REACT??? #THEY ALMOST GOT THEIR BENDING TAKEN AWAY #UGH#GROSSSSS
yep, another reason why i had problems with this part. they didn’t show anything about how they were captured (seriously, end of last episode, we totally thought they were safe) and nothing came of this. korra didn’t figure out airbending because of them. she did it for mako. they just showed a really disturbing and potentially triggering scene for no real purpose.
#also tarrlok’s suicide #what the fuck was that #so many triggering scenes in this ep that weren’t necessary
what we learn from this, kids, is that murder-suicide and genocide is okay to show to seven year old children but queer/trans* people are not.
have fun knowing the networks actually think that! :D

have no fear, aang’s face is here
i just like how the sky lights up because he is so beautiful
