Oh wait-- There's more!
If its not obvious yet, Toph is definitely my favorite character in ATLA.
I personally relate to her struggle of being small, having a youthful face and seemingly fragile appearance, with over-bearing parents. Aside from that, she's basically everything I aspire to be lmao. She's self-assured, decisive and so unapologetically herself, and I admire that trait!

Shitty doodle of a photo of the Beifongs + Kuvira and Bolin i did as a birthday gift for myself lol.
I now realise that I put Bolin's wedding ring on the wrong finger lmao.
Coloured version and a few more doodles^
The image of Lin hosing Toph's dusty, muddy ass off before the photo was too good to ignore. I loved designing Opal's outfit, I wanted to make something vaguely resembling the flight suit, but also having certain hallmarks of Zaofu fashion (jewellery)

The legend of korra subreddit kind of popping off recently.
Like the amount of posts I've seen where people have just been like "Lin deserved better"... shit is eating.
Flock to tumblr, people. Lin is happy here. We treat her better than Tenzin ever could 💅

Lin Beifong Headcanons
She smokes, but is constantly trying to knick the habit. Each cigarette is her last, she claims.
She likes gardening, which started with helping Aang on the island as a little girl. Toph made fun of her for it, so she quit pretty early on. She takes it up again after retiring.
She retires when Toph dies.
Her becoming police chief is why she and Tenzin broke up, not because of some love triangle with Pema. Both understood she couldn’t be his wife/mother to his children and be the leader of the police force, and her taking the job made it clear to both of them that their relationship would never move beyond the two of them. (As I type this, I realize this might actually be more canon than headcanon but I’m putting it in here anyway.)
She chose not to have kids because she didn’t want to fuck the kid’s life up like her own mom did with her.
The stress of her job makes her have severe migraines.
She’s a casual probending fan and catches a match on the radio once in a blue moon, mostly whenever it’s just her working late in the office. She likes reading the results in the newspaper the next day.
She does a lot for the community, but does it anonymously. Like, donating money to the local homeless shelter and sponsoring rookies who can’t quite afford gear/supplies at the police academy (she anonymously sponsored Mako).
She’s super wealthy because she invests and lives a very frugal life. Su, however, lives the lifestyle of a wealthy person but is actually in debt. When they reconnect, Lin helps her organize her finances.
Tenzin called her before his wedding begging her to reconsider a life with him. She hung up on him. And out of (eventual) respect for Pema, she never tells anyone the truth about it. She holds her tongue whenever somebody—usually Korra or her gang—brings up Pema stealing Tenzin from her.
She was close with Katara and Kya, but intentionally pulled away after the break up. It would be weird/awkward hanging out with her ex’s family.
She knows Tenzin can’t go into the spirit world.
She met little kid Korra a few times (but kept her distance).
She introduces Mako to his eventual wife.
NSFW She and Tenzin had a very passionate sex life (and none of them have felt that intense passion with anybody else). But they’ll never admit it out loud.
