Description
Sorry this fanart itself has become a sort of Spoiler.To find out what really happened there, you have to watch ep10!
Please note the words below contain a fair amount of spoilers, so if you haven't watch ep10 of Legend of Korra yet, I strongly recommend not to read!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know everyone is drawing this, but I just can't help myself not to...
Lin, you're my HERO!!! And really Toph's girl!!
"You did a great job, my girl
Now, have a good rest..."
OMG, I feel so hurt and sad now!!! I needed to draw this to comfort myself and the people who got hurt by the new episode.
OK, to be honest, this is the first time LOK really touched my heart and made me want to cry. I actually expected to see Lin sacrifice herself for the Avatar at a certain point in the show, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Even though I prepared for this moment, I still feel deeply hurt when I really see it.
I don't how Toph will feel seeing her daughter do all this. Guess she will be so proud of Lin, and heart broken at the same time.
Like mother, like daughter.
Toph was a hero of Awesomness, and Lin is a hero of sadness.
Lin is such a fantastic character, a tragic hero also, my favorite character in LOK so far, and the oldest character I've ever loved. Toph seems so strong and unstoppable, but Lin on the other hand doesn't always win the fight, but she dares to face battles that she knows she's gonna lose, and she sacrificed her most important thing to save her most important person and his family, which makes me admire her even more.
Beifong are the best!!
(But who can carry on the legacy now...)
and, I got the feeling that she will got her bending back later on.
The blowing white bubble implies her melted bending... I still need to touch this up.
I was a bit annoyed by the last shot, I mean that's definitely a highlight of the whole episode, and I screamed out when I heard that voice, you know what I mean. but I wish they could have given Lin a bit more time and let the sadness last/hold longer before that exciting moment hit...

Dude, when Lin was ripping the ships at the end, it was like flashback to the finale when Toph was tearing up the firenation airships. Seriously, they're both such serious BAMFs. Love em both!!

Lin obviously, as if debending her would stop her

Of course, the members of that police force all had their bending removed.

The thing to remember here is that losing one's bending doesn't necessarily mean an end to badassness. I mean, we have Ty Lee, Suki, Asami, and the entire Equalist faction to demonstrate just how badass someone can be without bending. Personally, I fully expect Lin to put on a taser-glove, break out of whatever cell they put her in, and continue kicking ass.

You have to remember that Lin hasn't been shown using any weapon or fighting skill besides her bending. I think it's more likely that Korra will figure out a way to give people's bending back and Lin will be one of her first customers.

OK so I'm typing this through squinted eyes because I don't want to read anything about the spoilers cause I' like 2 episodes behind and I'm really afraid of what they are but I just had to say that this is a really heartwrenching drawing and I have a feeling I'm gonna cry when I do get caught up. TT-TT

:"") oh lin, bryke better reveal that the bending would be back again or else...

Letβs honour Lin for a moment: and cry is silence for her, because she is our hero and we will never let her go!
Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you close every day, without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.
We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
Can you lose everything, you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again, and play another hand?
Could you risk everything, for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.
We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
Never let go, Never let go, Never let go
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, 'but you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.

Nope its just one of the thousand lyrics spinning inside my head randomly. This one is from Bryan Adams, Never Let Go : [link]
I think it pretty fits Lin: "It's not something you do... It's something you are"

Awwww, i really hope that amon is some kinda expert hypnotist or something because i would really want to see lin bending again D:
I dunno, but when amon takes away people's bending there isnt any glow like how aang did to firelord ozai, and his victim's eyes' become small. I really hope so orz

I love love love this! I can just see Toph being this proud of her daughter, I can almost see this happening in the actually series maybe while Lin is unconscious. You almost made my cry again, and dear god is that almost impossible. I'm not the kind of person to be overly touched by movies/tv, but they built up such a strong, noble, heroic character that it's hard not to be saddened by the fact that she got her bending taken away. Man alive...
I'll shut up now :I

i've really been missing the epicness of last airbender that legend of korra has been lacking just a bit. i think it's the old characters i really miss, but in ep 10, when lin was doing her thing, i was just like "toph! toph! toph!" and the epic was back. made me happy
