Garden and Korra

[thistlechaser]

While I was away for ten days, I was worried my plants would die. I bought a self-watering system, but it was basically hoses and water bottles, so I worried I'd come home to dead plants.

Instead my plants sent me a message: STAY AWAY! They grew a ton while I was gone, so big and thick.



Everything got so big! On the far left are the sunflowers (already starting to bloom but not even two feet tall yet -- odd!), close up in the round pot is the thyme (which originally looked like these little sicky sprouts), in the back is basil and chives and parsley -- all of them so lush!, and on the far right is some kind of flower (the empty pot next to it never had anything in it).

Oddly, my basil seedlings all died a fast, harsh death, but the ones I grew from a seed are growing like weeds.

The flowers all look a little ratty (I think something's eating them), but the herbs are amazing. I really have to figure out something to do with it all.



And this will be an even less organized post than I usually make, because OH MY GOD EEE is this the best show on TV ever or the best show on TV ever?

They took Lin Beifong's bending away! DDDDDDDDDDDDD: I swear, that made my chest hurt in RL. She was so strong and a badass and amazing at bending and gah! (Though I also hope they don't figure out how to return bending to people, it would feel cheap to me, plus having to learn to live without bending would make for an interesting storyline.)

And of course there's ZUKO General Iroh! While the voice didn't seem to really fit the character's age/size/shape, I DON'T CARE! OH MY GOD, ZUKO'S voice back! EEEEE!

I love Tenzin so very, very, very much. Perfect father or perfect father?

The one small part of the ep I didn't like was the whole love triangle thing. Shape up or ship out, Mako. I have zero interest in Asami, too.



So! Poll time!

Supposedly Iroh II is Zuko's grandson and Tenzin is his Uncle because his mother is Zuko/Mai's daughter and his father is Aang/Katara's oldest son? According to somebody who read some Wiki anyway.

I have no idea if it's true though, I suppose we'll find out next episode.

I could be possible, it's hard to tell how old he is (especially with the voice) but that would make sense.

You know I was thinking about it but that would make him Tenzin's cousin...people on Tumblr were going on about him being his nephew...I don't know haha.

He does seem a bit on the young side to be Zuko's son...but also I am not sure why Zuko's child would name their child Iroh, since I don't know if they even would have met him...

And yeah...his voice sounds very young for his face haha...I thought so even for Zuko really...and he was what, 16?

Ahh no I am stupid, he would be his nephew haha. I shouldn't comment right when I wake up.

I guess it would depend on how soon after the end of Last Airbender Zuko had kids. I mean, I figured he'd spend a bunch of time looking for his Mom first (like the end of that series suggested) and then sort of have some time getting more involved with Mai and then have kids. I guess if he had kids only a couple years after end of Airbender (say like, late teens, early 20's) then his son would have had plenty of time to interact with Iroh and have an impression on him. Personally unless the show itself tells me otherwise I'm just going to live in my little version of reality:

"Iroh II is actually about the same age as Tenzin (little younger, just the clean shaving makes him look much younger) and was named after his uncle since he was born shortly after Iroh died in a horrible tea-based tragedy."

But ya, it's most likely he's his grandson because even with looking for his mother and all the stuff he did with the Earth Nation for peace and then Republic City even if he waited until he was like 40 to have kids then Iroh II would have to be like 40 by now and he doesn't even look that old if we discount the voice. Possible it's his son, just very unlikely.
