tenzin/lin stuff under the cut aka my secret otp

• my personal headcanon is that tenzin was kind of stuck spending time with lin (and one of mai/zukos kids) because of the whole group of kids, they were the only ones who didnt want to go off and make mischef with the rest of them, so they hung out a lot
• i think that tenzin always had feelings for lin, while lin wasn’t having it? ever since they were kids tbh i think tenzin had a huge crush on her and lin was like no thx
• i think that tenzin and lin eventually did date, in their teens. they both liked each other but lin thought it was casual and tenzin was more set on this being legit???
• when lin broke it off, tenzin moped around about it FOR A LONG ASS TIME because like lin was his number wah. since he was a kid. he thought she was it for him
• and then he met pema and he was still mopey but then he stopped being mopey
• IDK if this headcanon makes sense but the point is i think tenzin was not dating but was still in love with lin and then pema helped him thru it and then they fell in love and the rest is history
• but give me all the awkward teen dating tenzin/lin pls n thx
