Legend of Korra Meme

Because all the cool kids are doing it.

Also because I came out of the finale with massive Lieutenant feels, so this meme is going to be about him.

Don't think I can't see those surprised faces.

So!  Give me a prompt about the Lieutenant, AU or otherwise. The only prompts I will ignore are repeated ones, and anything about him being an ex-bender ( Read more... )

character: lieutenant, fandom: legend of korra

What was life on the San-Sü Islands like?

The Lieutenant uses his medical knowledge to help injured Equalists.

How did the Lieutenant survive falling off the pro-bending arena?

Amon saw his Lieutenant fighting the Avatar, putting everything he had into the fight, continuing on even after losing one of his yantoks.

Saw the Avatar get in close and manage to knock him off the roof of the Arena.

Beifong wouldn't reach him for several crucial seconds.

Amon spread the fingers of his left hand, taking hold of the Lieutenant and slowing his fall just enough. Using the other hand, he brought the water up to catch him, making it seem like a lucky wave.

The Lieutenant could do the rest on his own.

This makes a ridiculous amount of sense. Headcanon accepted.

He's too valuable a tool to lose, huh?

Half that, half he does like and appreciate the man. Even if he's not Tarrlok-Amon-Remembers.

(I have so much FEELS-inducing headcanon about the Amon-Lieutenant relationship.)

He's not the brother he lost, but he's still a friend!

(Is there a place I can read about these FEELS? They are relevant to my interests.)

Precisely!

And of course there is! The FEELS are right here on Tumblr.

Your feels are giving me feels! Do you mind if I drabble something for you?

There was no sign of Amon.

The Lieutenant did his best not to think about that, as he forced order on those trying to help the victims of the riot. With Soe at his side to intimidate by sheer size, the Lieutenant organised the victims by simple triage, then placed himself among the worst wounded. He'd only graduated a year ago; the knowledge imparted on him at IN was still fresh in his mind.

Three would die unless they received attention from a waterbender.

He did what little he could for them, making them comfortable and sending Soe off to try and get medical help.

He was in the middle of stitching up an arm when a sharp voice informed him he was under arrest.

Oh nooo, it's the riot where Amon disappears and Lieutenant has a heart attack!

And oh no, cops! Do the three people die? (What a responsible doctor!)

I figured that I couldn't just bring it up and then never do anything with it! :D

One of them did, unfortunately. However, the Lieutenant knows how to handle being arrested and quite reasonably pointed out the people in need of care and waterbenders were brought in by the fuzz.

(This is Early Stage, so we're not quite at "All Bending Is Evil". We're still in "Yeah Can We Have Some Representation Please?")

When does he show up? 8O

He's got a cool head in battle and in medicine alike!

(When he gets to "all bending is evil," does he stop using waterbender healers, even at the expense of someone dying? Or does he compromise for that?)

I have no idea what happened to Amon. Yet. D:

He does! He is so incredibly well-trained. I mean, even when Amon bloodbends the everloving fuck out of him and then throws him aside like trash -- even through pain, heartbreak, betrayal, and slamming into a bunch of wood before falling to the floor -- he doesn't let go of the yantoks.

(I am not sure! I suspect the answer is 'it never got to that point'.)

EDIT: Also I updated the rules of the meme. :D

Maybe he was chasing after some powerful bender who injured a lot of people? Or, mysteriously, a northern water tribe waterbender shows up, heals people, and then runs off before Amon returns?

(He's gone down to dehumanizing some benders by the time of canon, going by your Intan fic, but does it stretch to all of them? Does he still acknowledge some bending as useful but hates the users?)

omg more prompts 8D I shall ponder some more!

I will have to think about it! :D Of course I'm not sure that Tarrlok or Noatak were taught to heal. Yakone was more interested in power.

(I think that it does -- and not just benders, again with Intan, but former benders too. Unless Intan is just special by still hanging around afterward, but I'm pretty sure it applies to former benders. And yes, bending can be useful. But in the long run, it's more harmful than helfpul, and look at how far technology has come! There will be a technological replacement for waterbenders soon enough.)

I like your prompts! :D I like it when people actually do read what's been written and then build off of it. :D

Good point! But bloodbending and healing have been speculated to be related, and I've read that healbending deals with chi-flow as well as bloodflow, so Noatak knowing both might make it easier for him to debend people. Hmmm...I need to rewatch AtLA to review xD

(Aha! Does Lieutenant keep up with medical technology? Has he ever considered making some? Does he keep up to date with his medical expertise?)

>w< I'm glad you like them! I'm really enjoying what you've written so far, and I want to see more of it fleshed out!
