I quick 10 minute drawing before I go to work!
Aang must have definitely loved watching Lin and Tenzin together! He seems like such an awesome Daddy/Uncle! <3
Just a sketch, maybe I’ll color it someday… XD

…You couldn’t POSSIBLY have anything against Tenzin though. D8My only problems with Tenzin besides only teaching her for two episodes before dropping out of training her altogether it seemed, actually…
Actually, I have another complain about Tenzin: He is such a good MASTER with his air acolytes SERVANTS.
I mean, look at the Air Temple social structure, we never heard any air acolyte (well, the midwife said two short sentences), they just are just there cleaning, fixing Korra’s mess, carrying Asami’s luggage, and another house duties. Tenzin and his family have a pretty big house where they live together, while the acolytes just have these stark rooms separate by sexes, and curious enough, there is no other child or teenager beside the airkids , even though we know that air nomads were allowed to have sex and children despised their religious status. In fact, Tenzin’s family and the acolytes rarely interact with each other.
They are supposed to carry on with Air Nomads culture, right? I was expecting to see a Council of Elders, which will regulate the activities in the Air Temple, give advises and support to Tenzin when he required and even call out Korra about her temper (I just can imagine this little group of wise and sassy old acolytes no taking any bullshit of those “kids”). Some of them could help Korra with her meditation and training, teach Jinora and Ikki how to take care of sky bisons since their father is busy with the city problems, or taking a cup of tea with Pema while they chat peacefully, etc.
But no, we don’t see any of this. The only hint we had about an acolyte in a position of power was in the judge of Yakone… forty years ago
And please, don’t tell me that all this is because they are not Air Nomad’s descends. Seventy years had passed since Aang took his first disciples, they must be raising the third generation of air acolytes, people who had been learning, thinking, eating and living like Air Nomads all their live, saving a culture (and two animal species) from extinction. Sure, they will never have the arrows in their skin because they are not airbenders, but it doesn’t mean that they couldn’t be as wise as the wiser Air Nomad (see Guru Pathik). They deserve be considerate full right members of the Air Nation.
Sure, Tenzin keep his air acolytes well-fed, relatively comfy and they probably have an amazing health insurance, but they don’t seem to have any power over their own lives.
I’m actually more interested than anything else in when this change took place because like Maddy said, things weren’t always the way we saw them in LoK. Aang clearly thought highly enough of the Air Acolytes to allow one of them to represent the Air Nation on the Republic City council. (At least, I assume the ppl judging Yakone in 1.09 were all Councilmembers, as Sokka was addressed as Councilman. Correct me if I’m wrong.)
So the way I see it, one of two things could have happened:
Either Aang was allowing an Air Acolyte to serve as representative out of necessity (he, as the Avatar, couldn’t serve, and Tenzin was a little kid at the time), didn’t give them extra powers/privileges/full rights as AN members outside of that, didn’t actually consider them Air Nation, and removed any power/privilege he had granted once Tenzin was old enough to be on the council, or;
Aang treated them equally, as people of the Air Nation, but Tenzin overturned that once Aang died.
I honestly can’t decide which option unnerves me more.
Of course, this could have been just another case of bad storytelling on Bryke’s part. They barely had time to tell the stories they were for some reason hell-bent on telling, trying to squish a love triangle and a revolution into twelve episodes — they couldn’t even manage that without sacrificing character and plot development. They simply didn’t have time to explore the nuances of the current Air Nation culture. So like everything else in LoK, everything I’m reading and saying and agreeing with is being taken by me with a grain of salt until we see more. But I still think it’s worth highlighting and discussing.
