The Writing Beetle

okay so. toph has noble upbringing + overbearing parents + complete disinterest in learning how to cook after joining gaang (munching on raw produce instead) + weird concoctions boiling in her swampartment. lin has an absent mother who definitely wouldn't have taught her how to cook + complete disinterest in taking care of herself or making herself feel good + zero leisure time due to work + canon primary food source of beef jerky and cup noodles. su has insane inheritance which allowed her to build her own city + huge estate with a live-in chef who can cook her anything, including exotic and morally questionable elephant koi dishes. and, finally, opal and kuvira have a privileged life at that same estate, with kuvira only getting out of zaofu to go on a military campaign (presumably not the best time for learning how to make soufflés). which raises the question: is there a single beifong who can cook her own meals or are all of them women in male-dominated fields (domestic incompetence)? (yes).

I don’t think people talk enough about Lin being an aunt. How would she interact with her nephews? We see her interacting with Opal but what about the others? How would her nephews feel about her or think about their aunt? Would they refer to her as aunt, aunt Lin or just Lin? I don’t know, but I crave aunt Lin in action after so many years of not knowing her niece and nephews.
