yolo!!

[What's with the sigh Korra he's totally innocent. And still confused]

Really?

But aren't they younger than...this life you?

[Nope someone hasn't heard about people being grabbed from different points in time]

[sangilak]

[ she nods, letting the attitude drop for a moment ]

Yeah, it happens. Avatar Aang was brought here when he was twelve, and I got to meet him.

[wilder]

You mean...people can be brought to this place from any point in time too? [He frowns. Oh. That could be bad.] Okay that's...annoying.

[That explains the age thing at least]

But whatever. I take it that Avatar and those two did something more important than be friends. Not that friendship's not important, but Bolin's acting like a total fangirl.

[ ... drawing in a slow breath, korra picks at the fur lining of the pelt at her hips. ]

They ended the hundred year war and brought peace and balance to an ailing world.

[ this is the legacy she has to live up to, and she hasn't even come close to being as good of an avatar as aang was. she might have fun with all the perks being the avatar brings to her, and she honestly only ever has the best intentions no matter how fucked up things might get, but aang defeated fire lord ozai when he was at his most powerful. they founded the united republic of nations and built republic city from the ground up — a melting pot of benders from all nations as well as non-benders and industrialists and people looking for a brand new start.

avatar aang started rebuilding the air nomad nation with his wife katara, the woman who taught korra everything she knows about waterbending, offensive defensive and healing, and the air acolytes.

what has korra done in her time as the avatar?

couldn't airbend. had no spiritual connection. lost her bending. destroyed public property. contemplated ending her life because the next avatar could do so much better than her. escalated a war between her two sister tribes. lost her memories. lost jinora. lost her connection to her past lives, ten thousand years of avatars. got republic city choked by vines and put hundreds, maybe thousands, of people out of their homes.

she might have saved the world, prevented vaatu from taking over and drowning everyone in ten thousand years of darkness, but as far as she's concerned it's her sole accomplishment in a sea of failures. ]

[Wow he's...never seen anyone but warmongers look so down about someone bringing the end of a long war and balance to the world. He was pretty sure that was universally considered a good thing. But he gets it. It's not that hard to tell what she's fretting about, at least- the general gist. So he simply reaches out and gives her a light headpat and smiles reassuringly]

Don't give it too much thought, it'll just mess you up. [Literally man. He knows]

With how driven you are, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if one day you get fans going gaga when they meet you.
