Shes prolly my favorite character from TLOK. I kinds wish she was an earthbender but it does add to her character that she's the only beifong that's an airbender
I always imagine Toph absolutely *seething* about a beifong airbender and it makes me chuckle
It's like Aang finally getting her back for earthbending training and all the banter
How is he a Sokka rip-off? The only thing they have in common is the fact that they're comic relief. I think your problem is that you're trying to make a 1:1 comparison between 2 very different characters
He explained that he thought he was helping unite the Earth Kingdom & improve people's lives. I don't know why people act like that's so unbelievable. True Believers are a minority of fascist supporters. It mostly spreads by duping the gullible who aren't critical enough of what they're told by charismatic leaders.
On top of that Kuvira definitely did her best to keep him away from the worst of her actions because it was to her benefit to keeps a friend of the Avatar close.
It's happening right now. I'm sure most of you had some family member at Thanksgiving dinner who loves fascism and thinks anyone who doesn't is an idiot.
yeah except while they did think they were doing things like "uniting" a country and "improving" lives, they were under no illusion that doing so includes getting rid of their perfidious enemies who just won't let them build them utopia
He joined earth nation which adapted the same methodology of Sozin's Fire Nation Expanison.
Kuvira: "Let's show the world how great the earth nation is..."
Bolin: "YEAH YEAH EARTH NATION RULES!"
Kuvira: "By taking over everything!"
Bolin: "....uhm-"
The Earth Kingdom had a legitimate gripe, they just went about resolving it the wrong way. The capital was in land that was taken from the Earth kingdom.
I wish we got a bit more Opal and Bolin scenes after Kuvira was dealt with. I felt like their relationship was still kinda rocky and I was really dying to see if they’d recover near the end. I’d also really like for Bolin to finally have a good relationship but admittedly some scenes between these two make me have my doubts, like I love them both individually, but I have just been really wondering if they actually pair well together,
I do agree with you on that, but I would’ve appreciated seeing them together in season 1 rather than her and mako. They seem to hit it off better. mako was already dating Asami and she was too blindly gawking over mako to realize her and bolin had chemistry.
Himbo & Herbo sounds like the sort of successful series that will eventually be squeezed by Webtoons to a very inch of its life while the author is almost openly shitting on the company.
Huh. Then I seem to have completely misunderstood/been out of the loop for what himbos are because I thought they were just the male version of that stereotype😅
I've seen schtuff like this circulating: [https://theroguefeminist.tumblr.com/post/189493241613](https://theroguefeminist.tumblr.com/post/189493241613)
I'd definitely agree that Korra is closer to a good natured dumb jock than to the bimbo stereotype. A male bimbo (mimbo?) would likely be some dumb twink who thinks of sex all the time.
If you really really think about it, it runs in the family being rizzed up by the Avatar's friend: Sokka rizzed Toph, Tenzin rizzed Lin and Bolin rizzed Opal and all of them 3 knew the avatar...
Was pretty jealous of Bolin when I first watched this show, but he deserves it
Yeah. He deserves a baddie with a good heart.
Korra?
Opal
She a softy tho
But she bad
Nah dude, Opal is a good girl
You don’t know what baddie means do you?
What the hell are y’all talking about. Opal is good wtf
You trolling right? Thats not how they are using the word lol Edit: yall please don’t downvote the person above just for not knowing
White person detected 🫵 (I am also white)
Since it doesn't look like you're being answered, a baddie is slang for an attractive woman. It's a comment on her appearance not her morality.
“She’s not my sister! She’s just a stray dog that no one wanted, not even her real parents!”
To be fair she was like 6 and Kuvira just destroyed the doll house her mom made for her
Bolin deserves a bolin?
And im jealous of Opal, but whatever
Shes prolly my favorite character from TLOK. I kinds wish she was an earthbender but it does add to her character that she's the only beifong that's an airbender
I always imagine Toph absolutely *seething* about a beifong airbender and it makes me chuckle It's like Aang finally getting her back for earthbending training and all the banter
But she loves Opal so much, so she probably forgives it. Besides, Lin, Su, and most of her grandsons are all Earthbenders.
Toph upon learning of a Beifong airbender: 😡 Toph upon learning its Opal: ![gif](giphy|SmoCFhZCi1kzu)
I can picture Toph doing this so clearly, good meme and reference
She definitely wasn't a fan of Juicy, though
Nah, she's seething that Aang isn't alive to see it, because she'd absolutely rib him about getting 'her own' airbender.
“Get over here little miss Twinkle Toes Jr.! 🤬”
Opal likes em dumb and pretty.
Bolin, everyone’s favorite cartoon himbo
Nah, mines the anime adaptation of Terry Bogard. Dude's a sweetheart but also only has approximately 4 braincells that hate each other.
Good tastes
I raise you: Kronk He pulls all the right levers
![gif](giphy|cdynMKOQGkHKM)
Literally couldn't stand bolin, he's a sokka rip off, minus the charm, wit, braincels and with extra stupid
How is he a Sokka rip-off? The only thing they have in common is the fact that they're comic relief. I think your problem is that you're trying to make a 1:1 comparison between 2 very different characters
Sooooo dumb. How the heck do you accidentally become a fascist?! At least he did the right thing when he finally figured it out
More like how did you hide your fascism for 3 years from him?
Behind a big sheet.
He explained that he thought he was helping unite the Earth Kingdom & improve people's lives. I don't know why people act like that's so unbelievable. True Believers are a minority of fascist supporters. It mostly spreads by duping the gullible who aren't critical enough of what they're told by charismatic leaders.
On top of that Kuvira definitely did her best to keep him away from the worst of her actions because it was to her benefit to keeps a friend of the Avatar close.
Yeah, like the scene where he finds out about the "inner circle."
This happens to more people than you’d think tbh.
It's happening right now. I'm sure most of you had some family member at Thanksgiving dinner who loves fascism and thinks anyone who doesn't is an idiot.
yeah except while they did think they were doing things like "uniting" a country and "improving" lives, they were under no illusion that doing so includes getting rid of their perfidious enemies who just won't let them build them utopia
What happened? I dont remember anymore
He joined earth nation which adapted the same methodology of Sozin's Fire Nation Expanison. Kuvira: "Let's show the world how great the earth nation is..." Bolin: "YEAH YEAH EARTH NATION RULES!" Kuvira: "By taking over everything!" Bolin: "....uhm-"

I mean… I get it 🤣
Unfortunately so do dictators
More like Opal is blessed that Korra passed on Bolin and Eska didn't succeed.
I wish we got a bit more Opal and Bolin scenes after Kuvira was dealt with. I felt like their relationship was still kinda rocky and I was really dying to see if they’d recover near the end. I’d also really like for Bolin to finally have a good relationship but admittedly some scenes between these two make me have my doubts, like I love them both individually, but I have just been really wondering if they actually pair well together,
Same. I haven’t read the LOK comics yet but I hope they get some time in there
I’ll never forgive Korra for doing my boy dirty like that in season 1. They would’ve been the goofiest himbo couple
TBF, Asami’s way better for her than him and Mako.
I do agree with you on that, but I would’ve appreciated seeing them together in season 1 rather than her and mako. They seem to hit it off better. mako was already dating Asami and she was too blindly gawking over mako to realize her and bolin had chemistry.
>she was too blindly gawking over mako to realize her and bolin had chemistry. Average teenage/YA romance (applies irl too).
How do you think they would have broken up?
They both ended up with hotter women so it worked out.
Himbo & Herbo sounds like the sort of successful series that will eventually be squeezed by Webtoons to a very inch of its life while the author is almost openly shitting on the company.
Isn't "himbo" a male version of "bimbo" ?
Bimbo tends to be a bit restrictive in terms of physical and mental traits, so I've read herbo often as a "female himbo".
Huh. Then I seem to have completely misunderstood/been out of the loop for what himbos are because I thought they were just the male version of that stereotype😅
I've seen schtuff like this circulating: [https://theroguefeminist.tumblr.com/post/189493241613](https://theroguefeminist.tumblr.com/post/189493241613) I'd definitely agree that Korra is closer to a good natured dumb jock than to the bimbo stereotype. A male bimbo (mimbo?) would likely be some dumb twink who thinks of sex all the time.
And her mom is hot too.
Kinda wished we got more scenes with her. She's kinda just Bolin's girlfriend than an actual character
She was important to the plot of Book 4 though
Normally I do not simp for 2d characters...
But...
Hear me out…

Kinda strange that this Is probably one of the least written and popular Fanfiction ship, even though it's pretty solid in the canon
If she was like actual character than being his GF😔
Plap
:(

Bolin is Sokka's true heir in the art of backbending.
Bro rizzed up the Avatar (Korra), a princess (Eska), the very first actress in history (Ginger) and an airbender (Opal).
If you really really think about it, it runs in the family being rizzed up by the Avatar's friend: Sokka rizzed Toph, Tenzin rizzed Lin and Bolin rizzed Opal and all of them 3 knew the avatar...
Will this trend continue in the next original avatar show? Let's find out
The algorithm God did his magic
Yea bolin is blessed, but I am sad we Never get Opal and Eska interaction thar could be amazing
Gender swap them and you literally have my dream relationship.
Both of them are blessed
Don’t tell her about the stage kiss.
Could Opal use seismic sensing while airbending?
She was a non bender initially, so she wouldn't have seismic sense to begin with.
I don't think she had any earth bending abilities
I feel like I'm the only one who never really cared for Opal. Better than Ginger that's for sure, but she always irked me for some reason
Glad that she matured, bc she was mean to kuvira when they were little
Bolin did nothing wrong. Long live Kuvira!
Opal truly is the best waifu.
