💗🤍 Sad Linzin head cannons ?
Tenzin is haunted in his sleep. After spending years meditating over it, Tenzin realizes that he is repenting after hurting Lin the way he did- that it is his karma to wake up everyday craving Lin's presence just to be punished by seeing Pema. In his sleep- whether it's his dreams or unconscious mind, he forgets that the breakup ever happened- he is convinced that he's with Lin and that it's her sleeping beside him only to wake up, shocked and confused, every morning year after year, in retribution.
Lin still uses Tenzin as her moral compass. Whenever she's faced with a difficult situation, she likes to imagine what Tenzin would advice her in that situation and makes sure to incorporate "his opinion" when making a decision. Of course, there were times she wanted to completely mute her mind from playing Tenzin's voice and do the exact opposite of what that voice told her. Those were dark times. But now, she has come to learn to accept it with grace.
Tenzin allows himself to kiss Lin on the cheek not more than once a week. He plays it off nonchalantly, as if it means nothing- it's a simple greeting but in reality, that kiss is a very calculated, well thought out indulgence.
Tenzin can't stand to be alone in a room with Lin for more than a few moments. His body would not be able to handle the weight of the unsaid words between them.
Lin never kisses his cheek back. She only accepts it- once a week. She thinks it's routine and if he were to break that routine by kissing her any more than once, she'd cut him out for it. But if he ever stopped, she'd never think about the joy that trivial gesture brought her.
Their hugs always last a little longer but not long enough for either of their muscles to retaliate and break free of the carefully controlled relationship they share.
I think that's all the sad Linzin I can do :(
