#even in how Sokka had an affinity 4 engineering but didn't often have a chance to use it- well bam now u got an expert mechanic in ur group

With her mechanist talent, Lian would be a game changer for the Gaang in certain situations. Like, "The Chase". As much as she'd be as pissed as Sokka is by Toph's remarks on their non-bending, she'd try to solve the problem of that big tank train, by "simply" sabotaging it from the inside (Infiltration time !) Katara discovers horrified that Lian is kinda going into self-sacrificing stuff (due to a certain low self-esteem in a way)

Yeah, I feel like Lian would only be alright with running for the brief time it takes to make sure they have some tools to infiltrate, but then, she's going in and they can't stop her so they gotta join her. Also feel like she'd be always kinda trying to lean to the side and see how Ty Lee does her bender blocking because oh does that give her ideas

#'she hit me here and i couldn't bend!' #Lian‚ writing that down: tell me more #but yeah so so many things would change #id have to do a rewatch to think of them all but there's just a lot different #even in how Sokka had an affinity 4 engineering but didn't often have a chance to use it- well bam now u got an expert mechanic in ur group #honestly just even. running into jet again later. mostly because it would be funny fhhghhhhn #actually i want i new sideplot where Lian tinkers a little self heating cup out of boredom on the way to ba sing se #and jet sees her tea heating up in it and thinks she's a fire bender #look i just think that would be funny #lian is trying to fight the entirety of ba sing se and is completely unaware that another of Katara's ex crushes is here and also stalking #her under the assumption that she's a bender. a fire bender. #pocket talks to people #sonicole #lian the maker
