Am I the only one who think Dirk looks kinda like this?

A 16-year old, pale and somewhat thin geeky boy.

I mean, how many teenagers have huge sideburns??

Haha gee, I can’t ink AT ALL.. but you get the idea!

All of the above.

I’d so love to see more art like that.

Not saying I’m 100% convinced Sokka is Lin’s father, but… Guys, that Lin and Tenzin would be cousins is NOT an argument against it.

You’re acting like kissing cousins is something illegal. Where I come from, nobody considers this a crime.

Cousin marriage is legal in a large share of countries. Canada, South America, almost all of Europe, Russia, Australia.

Just because the USA have the only bans on cousin marriage in the Western world, that doesn’t mean everyone thinks the same.

And since the age of consent in the Avatar world is 16, not 17 or 18 as in most states of the USA, I don’t think the law of this fictional universe conforms with the statute of the USA.

This is me talking about Mako and Bolin as characters in a written story, not as people. So please don’t take that as an insult to their personalities or whatever.

Warning: There’ll maybe be some slight spoilers.

I see what you’re saying and agree. My only suggestion would be to give it time. In a lot of ways, you could argue that Mako and Bolin are sharing a similar role to what Sokka and Toph did in the original series. As popular as those two were (and as much as I love them) they weren’t as connected to the central plot as Aang or Zuko. That said, Mako and Bolin definitely need some real non-shipping character development. 

I do hope that with time, things are going to get better.

I would argue though about Sokka and Toph being comparable to Bolin and Mako. While Sokka wasn’t an integral part of the plot, when he was introduced he was incredibly important. He was Katara’s big brother, back then he was the voice of reason. Yes, SOKKA used to be the voice of reason and kind of the killjoy to Katara’s and Aang’s lightheartedness back in season one, which changed when Toph was introduced and over the course of more and more episodes, the dynamics switched and Sokka became comic-relief deliverer while Katara stood in for him as the voice of maturity and reason.

With Toph, now this is a difference. She was introduced as an inevitable and irreplaceable part of the Gaang: Aang’s earth bending teacher. As such she had to teach Aang an element that was incredibly hard for him to learn. And not only that, she also provided a connection of both Aang and the viewer to the Earth Kingdom, which the Gaang traveled for the whole season. Also let’s not forget that Toph got so much character depth in her very first episode already! We had only seen her for a few minutes and already you could sense that there was a big dilemma hidden in that girl and we were like: DAMN what an interesting character, I wonder how things will play out for her!

Long story short: I absolutely agree with you that there are always characters that aren’t as important as others and that sometimes they just need time. But introducing characters as incredibly important only for them to become superfluous five episodes later is never a good idea :/ Not to talk about the whole dilemma thing. Characters just need dilemmas, or they’re as boring as a telephone pole. And while you can’t make the whole problem clear through the course of one episode, you definitely need to show the viewer that there ARE issues that the character needs to work on.

Now I actually don’t see a single dilemma for Mako and Bolin. Oh wait yes, Mako HAS a dilemma: there are two pretty girls being into him. …Yeah. What an interesting conflict. :/

I’m still struggling to see what Korra even sees in Mako right now. I don’t really ship anything at this point, but she has a lot in common with Bolin, and he seems to care more for her than any of them (this excludes Tenzin of course, he doesn’t count).
