Lin Beifong | Requested by anonymous.
Lin: Hold on, I can explain!
Kya: Really? Can you now?
Lin: I can if you give me a minute to think of a convincing lie.

DON’T touch me I’m thinking about how we never see Suki out of a uniform until the very end of book 3. I’m thinking about how the only non-uniform clothes she wears in the show are the clothes of the country that imprisoned her and separated her from her sisters and burnt her village down. I’m thinking about how, even in Suki Alone, we only see her wearing the same clothes as everyone she’s with. I’m thinking about how, even on a meta level, Suki doesn’t really have an identity outside of the people she fights with and the people she protects.
Korra: What goes up but never comes down?
Lin: The level of stress you bring into my life
lin may objectively not want kids whatsoever...
but four dumbass teenagers really just walked into her life and all of a sudden she was actually a mom
(source: that time she caught korra at the pro bending arena, that time she literally broke all of them *out of jail* instead of even remotely going the legal way, giving mako a job, you get the idea)
Can you do a small one shot of Lin getting hurt like maybe a cast on her dominant hand and she's mad XD
Thanks for the prompt, I hope you like this :)
Kya wasn’t sure whether she felt annoyed or amused. She had been standing on the threshold of Lin’s office for about half a minute, unnoticed by the woman inside. Lin was sitting at her desk, but facing away from the door. The cast was still on, which probably was a good sign, but judging by the way Lin was shaking her hand in utter anger and frustration, it was only a matter of time until she would probably cut it off.
“Hey,” Kya knocked lightly against the doorframe, announcing her presence.
The angry frown on Lin’s face only softened gradually as she looked at Kya. “Hello,” she mumbled. “Why are you here?”
Kya wasn’t perturbed by the unwelcomeness in the question. She knew it had nothing to do with her. She walked towards Lin and sat on the edge of the large metal desk before answering, “I wanted to see how you are getting along.” To make her point clearer she nodded towards the cast. “Not well, I take it?”
Lin grimaced at her words. “It’s unbearable, Kya. I can’t write and I can’t bend properly.” She curled up her fingers as if she were making a fist and one of the drawers rattled, but didn’t open.
“See?!” Lin’s frown intensified.
Kya took hold of Lin’s hand without answering. With a frown of her own she examined the red skin around the edges of the cast and carefully palpated the bones. She heard Lin’s sharp intake of breath when she hit the base of the thumb and simply shook her head.
“I’m sorry, Lin. You will have to keep wearing the cast for at least another week.”
Lin groaned loudly. “Next time I see Korra, I will kill her!”
Kya couldn’t help but grin a little at Lin’s resigned statement. “Isn’t that the exact attitude that caused you to end up with this? Maybe you shouldn’t seek to compete with the Avatar.”
To her mild surprise Lin simply shrugged. “She challenged me, what else should I have done?”
“Hm...say no?”
Another shrug, accompanied by a faint blush. “I don’t like getting old.”
Kya smiled and lowered her face to brush a soft kiss against the palm of Lin’s hand. “Me neither, my love.”

Do they not have skulls!? Why is it mushy there!?!? @bunjywunjy
well of course beluga has a skull!! that's just not where it is.
see, you wouldn't necessarily pick up on this, but beluga skulls (and most cetacean skulls in general) are pretty much
flat...
so what's going on up there? well, most of the beluga's head is taken up by soft tissue and a large organ called the melon, which is basically a big ol waterballoon of semiliquid fat!
(boob. it's a head boob.)
this organ is found in every toothed whale and dolphin species on the planet and it's INCREDIBLY important, because the melon is what lets them echolocate!
the actual sound-producing organ is inside their nasal passage of all places, which sits up behind there, but the melon is what's actually used to fine-tune the soundwaves into the laser-accurate pinpoints that dolphins and toothed whales are so famous for.
tldr: without their head boob, belugas and their relatives would be literally flying blind!
does slapping the melon like that hurt it ? like does it affect how it works or anything
@weirdgirlwambsgans @vampire-juicebox you guys are in luck bc it does not! Belugas will squish their melons voluntarily against things like rocks and glass. Think of it like when you squish your butt (but at the same time not, bc they have no nerve endings beyond the skin) they even voluntarily let humans play with it!
This is a strong creature, if that hurt or bothered it, you would know
There are many benefits to being a marine biologist
DONT SLAP THE BOIS OH MY GOD just gently squish. Jiggle. Pat, even. I know they don’t mind you touching it but Don’t just walk up and SLAP them.
Lin: "I'm a mature person, I apologize when I'm wrong ."
Korra: "I've never heard you apologize..."
Lin: "I'm never wrong."
Lin: Don't worry Jinora, everyone's afraid of something.
Jinora: Even you?
Lin: No
