Korra slays me.

WOW CUTIES

I accidentally a Councilman Tarrlok drabble 

Because career politicians! And you all know I drabble instead of meta because I’m not that great at laying out an argument. Anyway. COUNCILMAN TARRLOK. WHAT IS YOUR DEAAAAAAL. Are you precisely the kind of guy who would practice fighting without bending in case it got taken away? I like to think you are!

I can’t help it. I have a lot of Water Tribe feels.

Councilman Tarrlok was not, in fact, at the pro-bending arena that night. He was in his office- he worked late. You didn’t get elected to the council of Republic City without sacrificing a certain amount of sleep. At the precise time the police were pursuing the Equalists across a city now crowned by a plume of black smoke, Tarrlok was staring, very hard, at the bowl of water that stood, by long custom, on his desk.

His aide had just delivered the news of the attack. Tarrlok couldn’t help but feel disappointed- he’d been hoping the police and the Equalists would destroy themselves, or that he’d have something with which to dismiss or discredit Bei Fong. As an opponent, Amon was cursed unreliable.

However, Tarrlok had always prided himself on his adaptability. His mother had told him, back in the Northern tribe: always know which way the tide is flowing. It helped, of course, that right now there was such an awful lot of black smoke to show him.

Tarrlok stood, stared at the still surface of the water, then, experimentally, moved into the first position of a common waterbending stance. In fact, it was the very first stance he had ever learned. And while his fingers itched to flex and stream the water from the bowl to surround him, to feel that ebb and flow in tune with his own body, he did not. Instead, Tarrlok ran through that first waterbending form without moving the contents of the bowl a single centimeter.

When he had finished, Tarrlok stood, feeling strangely naked, and breathed deeply to calm himself. Not as hard as he had suspected at all- and it would be made easier by practice. If bending was to become a privilege- if one who could take it away was really in the ascendant- well, it was always prudent to be prepared.

(Before I start, I just want to note that when I text vomit about chakras, I do it as they are traditionally, not how they’re presented in the ATLA universe. They’re close… but some things have been sanitized a bit. I checked the ATLA wiki before I started, and it says this chakra is blocked by guilt. That’s… not false. But it’s accurate either. It’s not just any old guilt that blocks this chakra traditionally.)

This is the best explanation of the most recent Korra episode I have come across, and sums up my feelings on it perfectly! (even if I didn’t get the chakra stuff myself, doh).

And this episode wasn’t really about ‘ships’- it was about relationships, which can be friendly or romantic, and take a lot of hard work and emotional maturity.
