One thing I hate about the tlok fandom is that they will acknowledge one character's trauma and then ignore this character's sibling who grew up with them in the same circumstances.
Mako is heavily traumatised, of course. But Bolin is the haha funny himbo because somehow Mako at 8 years of age was able to perfectly shelter his younger brother from the horrors of homelessness?
Worse offender, Lin Beifong. Tragic character. Household void of love, neglectful mother. Very sad, yes.
BUT SUYIN WAS THERE TOO, MOTHERFUCKERS.
Suyin was there, wanting her mothers love just as much as Lin. But just because Suyin isn't caught in a perpetual midlife crisis, like Lin, somehow the trauma just. Didn't affect her?
I've made this point before, but Suyin and Bolin don't fit the archetype of "traumatised". Being friendly, bubbly and energetic aren't traits people usually associate with traumatised characters. While, broody, passive agressive loners like Mako and Lin do.
Many people don't just show they're hurt. Many people, like Bolin and Su, build coping mechanisms or masks or just. Deal with trauma differently. Yet people just decide to ignore the obvious fact that Bolin and Su are also trauma survivors, just like their older siblings.
It's weird? Especially in the Suyin case. People love to hate on her and tout Lin as this poor, misunderstood victim, when Suyin is a victim of their circumstances too.

I haven’t posted much about it on this blog because I have so few followers here compared to main and other side blogs, but genuinely, if you are a fan of Avatar, you need to be doing everything you can to support and liberate palestine and end this genocide. ATLA is about a fucking genocide and the devastating impacts of colonialism and a brutal military occupation. Well, we’re witnessing a genocide and the devastating impacts of colonialism and a brutal military occupation right now.
If you are a fan of ATLA or LOK you fucking need to be talking about palestine and Palestinian liberation. You need to be calling your elected officials, going to protests, talking to people in real life, resharing and uplifting Palestinian voices, boycotting Israeli products, reading and educating yourself on what’s going on and the history behind it, and doing everything you can to stop this genocide.
We all need to be talking about palestine. Silence and “neutrality” and inaction is complicity.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Wow. Two series that Bryan Konietzko worked on both ended with the protagonist proposing to their former rival that they fuck off to go frolicking on another world together and not deal with the fallout of a major earth-shattering event because they're both too tired after all they've been through.
