Book Four: Balance / Part: X Now you know when you saw the title of this episode that the shit was going down like stock for companies that make body cameras after the Eric Garner grand jury decision. Lin the Elder, Opal aka Young Sky and Bolin aka “I never had an internal thought I wasn’t compelled to say out loud,” arrive near Zaofu on the rescue mission. The forest lookin like Haliburton got the land rights last week. As they are accessing where the prisoners might be, Da Gawd Beifong, La Original come walking out from the forest like this is their Friday meet-up spot or some shit. (Yes, I know “original” is actually a masculine noun in Spanish, but since Toph is a woman, I modified it. I am the translator and you gotta deal with it). Gotta love the greetings here too: Lin / Toph = “Uh, hey there Chief.” / “Hey Chief.” Opal / Toph = “Grandma Toph!” / “You were only up to my waist last time I saw you!”
Bolin / Toph = “…I’m sorry, I lost all bowel function 30 seconds ago. / “Who brought fuckboy?” Together they put together some possibilities of where the rest of the Beifongs are being held captive. A couple of notes from this first scene: [check_list]
This was established a long time ago obviously, but it did just dawn on me that Opal’s last name is Beifong and Suyin kept her last name as Beifong so in other words, bend your patriarchy the hell up outta here, dudebros. You know Baatar proposed to Suyin and Su was like…”congrats on becoming a Beifong…you should be grateful …
