Yeah, I joined the LOK fandom… this year actually lol. ATLA was my favorite show when I was a kid and I wasn’t really willing to give LOK a chance and now that I am I’m trying to catch up on so much meta and stories. But Tarrlok is such an intense and fascinating character omg

I replied (on Feb 19th):

Oh, cool—welcome!! LOK has its flaws, but I am super fond of its high moments, and I think the sort of character arc highlights reel that Tarrlok gets from early in the show to his end is definitely one of them.

I also think “intense” is a really good word for him. Even at his most slippery and ambitious, there’s something intense and concentrated about him—he doesn’t do anything halfway, whether it’s good or terrible (Tarrlok: maybe my lie won’t be convincing enough … better electrocute myself to make sure!). And the turn in his character and his account of himself and Noatak makes so much look different in retrospect; it’s really interesting and rewarding IMO.

The user suyinsimp responded to my fic Ten Facts About Tarrlok, originally posted on Tumblr for a Tarrlok Appreciation Day in 2012. It's also at AO3. suyinsimp said:

#you have the absolute best characterization of tarrlok ever #noatak too for that matter

I replied:

Wow, thank you very, very much! I really enjoyed writing them and I’m still immensely fond of them both.
