LOK Book1 final Third Anniversary.
Happy Halloween!
I just wish we knew more about her. At least her name because there’s got to be a lot to be told from her point of view and the struggles of being left in the dark about her husband and her sons. She could still be around even at the end of the series and unaware of what happened to her boys… She’s been in the dark about what happened to Noatak since he ran away from home. She had to deal with her husband’s death (still completely unaware of his cruelty and greed and abuse of their sons but she probably had suspicions and questions she never voiced or had the chance to). And she had to say goodbye to the only part of her family she had left with Tarrlok as he went to Republic City to make his way up the political ladder without even a backward glance. I just want to know more about her okay and show some more mother appreciation on this show.
I’m actually really nervous about posting these pages since the first page stood alone so well and was really well-received, but I finished, so here they are. My favourite pages ended up being the first and fifth, entirely because the colours were fun (and looking at my own stilted dialogue kind of kills me inside).
I like to think that if they had enough time, these bros could have made amends. Slowly, maybe, but an apology that’s more genuine than ‘I’m sorry for what I had to do to you’ is a start.
I just have so many feelings about Tarrlok and my questionable ability to write about them augh
YOU SHOULDN’T BE NERVOUS, THIS IS BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS
OH MY GOD, MY FEELS Q_Q
Brothers
“Actual Douchebag Councilman Tarrlok” feels kind of inappropriate now, so let’s have this instead.
This is why I never really hated Tarrlok. I despise corrupt politicians and what Tarrlok did was deplorable but the one really at fault was always Yakone. As soon as Yakone was revealed to be his father, I started to empathize with Tarrlok and I couldn't hate him anymore. Ugh...the Tarrlok tag is an emotional punchbag. Blargh.
It will be just like the good old days.
I can’t possibly articulate my feelings properly, but this was absolutely sad. Throughout the entire show, I did not shed a single tear, but after learning about these two characters, I sobbed when they both died. They developed so much in just these two episodes of the finale and it was sad to see them go. They led tragic lives from the beginning to the end. And, I just can’t.
It's no one's fault but their father's. Fuck shitty parents.
No Sokka, it most certainly isn’t friendly
*cries forever*
ALL MY TEARS.
