*COUGH* Um, I tried.
Is this what would happen if Tarrlok and David Xanatos had a son?
I was going to point out how ridiculous it is that Tarrlok needs an office large enough to span five full-length windows.
Then again, he ended up being the only council member to actually accomplish anything, so I guess he earned it.
Tarrlok really was the only council member who did anything. As much as I like Tenzin he really did not accomplish that much if any at all. And the other three council members acted more like a flock of sheep so they don’t deserve a five window office.
Spur-of-the-moment headcanon: Tarrlok’s office (and extravagant private bathroom which is only accessible through a secret panel in the wall) used to be the other three council members’ offices. He proposed to knock down the walls and combine the offices into one super-office for himself. He offered them rooms in the basement to compensate.
Predictably, none of them had a problem with his decision.
Seriously, though. Tenzin used to be my favorite character, and I’m glad he spoke up against Tarrlok, but…that’s really all he did. He pointed his finger and called Tarrlok a meanie, then he grumbled and folded his arms whenever Tarrlok got his way.
Though that might have something to do with the fact that passing a law in Republic City requires only a majority vote among five people between the ages of 37 and 600.

Made this because it’s relevant.
While I haven’t seen any fan art whitewashing Tarrlok so far, the “Tarrlok is Amon” theory is showing up a little too frequently.
This is too ridiculous in hindsight. My main argument against Tarrlok and Amon being the same person was that Tarrlok had brown skin and Amon did not.
Whatever, LoK. I don’t even know what to do with you anymore.
Okay, so around episodes 8 and 9 I decided I absolutely had to write a fanfic about Tarrlok’s childhood (which ended up focusing heavily on Yakone). But then the finale happened and I lost all motivation to write. Tarrlok’s canon childhood ended up being pretty similar to my ideas anyway, so this is probably never going to evolve beyond lengthy notes.
Really. There are too many notes. I figured I’d dump it all here just so it will get off my laptop and quit trying to guilt me into writing it. The notes aren’t really edited. Some of them aren’t even chronological. There are scattered fangirl emotions throughout.
Brace yourself.
Edit: There are so many notes here, please for the love of god don’t even try.
(Also, trigger warning for abusive relationships.)
omg look at what i found during my 4th rewatch
i seriously thought that this was bolin
geez young!Tarrlok looks exactly like him here
What is that, soup? Because that is some extremely reflective broth.
But yeah, Tarrlok did look a lot like Bolin. Kind of makes you wonder what Bolin’s going to look like when he’s 37…
