i agree but y’all remember when lin enters the room she's surprised to see su there.
Tumblr media
also there's my little head-canon that she often used to talk to su's teachers about her absenteeisms instead of toph bc the last one had no time for that. lin literally had to become a mother figure to su and what did she get for that? bitter lonely woman who only cares about herself and "no wonder tenzin broke up with you" that was really cruel even not counting that she jumped on the two large airships just for the chance for his family to be safe.
Tumblr media
now about linzin: we got used to think that they broke up because lin didn't want kids. but what if she simply doesn't able? i mean she has a lot of stress at work or may had some trauma in childhood. also what if she became barren while protecting little korra with tenzin. this actually has sense, just think about it:
- korra is 17 and jinora is 12 in book 1, so lin and tenzin broke up when korra was about 3-5 years old.
- their relationships got a little worse after aang’s death: crime increased in the city, they had lots of stress at works, they start seeing each other much more rarely and at that times they were too tired but still supported and help each other (like old times).

- knowing her temper lin'd probably go with the person she loved the most to help and protect him at the mission + uncle sokka.
- it's unlikely that tenzin would leave her right after the incident, they prolly have been dating a couple months or years since that.
- it really explains why they hardly spoke all those years: he gave her fake hope he wouldn't leave her, then ran to the some "i want to be the mother of an air nation" girl.
- tenzin felt guilty about lin at the same time split between his wishes and duties.
- pema could remind him younger version of lin (both have dark hair with bang and bright green eyes) / tenzin try to make pema his home lin only favorites can see => in both ways he tried to create at least an illusion about the days of happiness when aang was alive and there for him and he and lin were young dumb and happy.
- seeing how tenzin treats pema in book 1 episode 1 only directs me to the thoughts about his trauma. he really often had to see lin was hurt bc of her job, family and (if she was there with him protecting korra) red lotus
Tumblr media
in that way scene where korra calls lin a bitter lonely women gets so much worse bc she literally started act (not became) like that by protecting her.
this woman is so amazing and gorgeous and deserves so much better
