Lin was lowkey the most robbed character in the whole series.💔
Didn't really know how to title this post but while I initially didn't care for Lin, I became a huge fan after S1 of TLOK and I feel so bad for her as a character. I feel like Lin took so many Ls throughout TLOK and I really wish they gave her anything.
Even though I adore Toph, she's an awful parent. She took the complete opposite route when raising her kids, and it really showed with Su. Su and Lin never really got along too well, and Su tells Korra and the audience that it's because she had a rebellious era, only for us to learn that Lin had to parent Su because Toph was an absentee parent. Su says that Lin is married to the job but that's really all that's going for her. Su grows up to marry a rich architect and live in comfort, while Lin's ex boyfriend leaves her to marry a girl 15~ years younger. She then sacrifices her bending and honestly is prepared to die for the same guy. Even though they're exes and I understand it's hella awkward sometimes I fell so bad for Lin since Tenzin is honestly pretty dismissive of her to the point where it's hard to believe they were childhood friends. She has her faults, but so does every other character. If anything all the TLOK characters are heavily flawed people.
IDK, does anyone else feel bad for Lin or is it just me? I feel like her being hard boiled and a little mean compared to Su is meant to make the audience dislike her, but I feel like she's taken so many Ls in her life I wish she could've taken even a single W.
