Guard: Fire Lord Zuko, welcome to Republic City. I must humbly ask you and your wife to leave your weapons here before entering the meeting.

Zuko: Of course.(Hands over his swords)

Mai: Whatever.(Takes small knives out of her pockets. Then shakes her left left sleeve where more knives comes out off)

Guard: Ah...

Zuko: Sorry, this could take a while.

Mai: What a drag...(picks two knives she hid in her hair. Then takes off her left shoe, removes a knife attached to the heel and then shakes the shoe till a new knife falls out of it)

Guard: How does she walk?!

Iroh: She talks in her sleep.

Zuko: Ah, okay... wait...

Everyone seems to share opinions about Avatar Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, so I will too.

So... Bolin x Eska...

Even thought it was not a healthy relationship, I don't think it was abusive.

Hear me out.

Their relationship is not about abuse but a bad mix of expectations and lack of communication. This may be the first time they both had a romantic relationship and they expected different things. Bolin wants to have fun, nothing too serious. But he doesn't have the guts to tell Eska that he is not ready to commit. Eska wants too much from the relationship too fast, probably planned how many children they would have the moment Bolin first flirted with her. And she doubles down when Bolin finally tries to tell her its not working. Sure, she is creepy, demanding and practically glued to her brother... But she doesn't try to force Bolin to do anything, she just assumes he has no issue being a mix of boytoy and servant and she is used to getting her way. And Bolin doesn't say anything out of a mix of finding her hot and terrifying.

Tenzin: ...

Vesper: Come on, daddy! Faster! Hyah!

NOT MY ART, NOT MY OC.

These two sisters really show how guilt can be destructive, both by drowning in it like Vi did... Or denying it your whole live till it hits you like a sledge hammer.

I will keep it short on Vi because so many have already written about it. Vi has been responsible for her sister and tried to take care of her. She even made bad calls because her guilt made her bring her along on the heist that set everything into motion. And she spent years in prison beating herself up for her reaction toward her sister "helping" her when Vi and the boys tried to free Vander. And as she (feels like) she fails over and over again, it crushes her. She is trying to carry the weight of the world, even trying to save Vander when he is nothing but a shell and a whole building is collapsing around her.

Jinx however always denied guilt. Even as a child, but that can easily be brushed off as her just being little and nervous. But she did throw away the loot from the heist to save herself while the others got into a fist fight with a gang that outnumbered them. It is understandable, but she doesn't even apologize for it.

But that is normal for kids, it takes time to fully develop the ability to take responsibility. And Jinx never did that. She grew up, denying that anything is her fault or that she makes life harder for anyone who cares for her, like Silco or Vi. She even revels in being a jinx, that it is just her nature.

It is not so much about her being selfish. It is a survival mechanism. She is so unstable that she has to convince herself that everything is someone else's fault. When she finally admits guilt, she let herself get arrested. Not so much to make amends but because it's an easy way out. Because she figures that Vi will finally give up on her and Caitlyn can have her pound of flesh and Jinx can sit in her cell and feel sorry for herself.

But Caitlyn is actually the bigger person and chooses justice over revenge and Vi is still there for her despite everything Jinx have done. So she just have to admit that she fucked up, that SHE was a key factor in this giant mess, even if she didn't mean to. Silco appearing and telling her that he was wrong is Jinx admitting to herself that Silco was full of it, that spiting the whole world is fruitless, that she is NOT perfect.
