WELL HERE’S ONE SUPER UNLIKELY THEORY I’VE LATCHED ON TO.
….My own foolish imaginings lead me to believe that Tarrlok’s mother was from a family of middling criminals who thought marrying off their beautiful, recently-come-of-age daughter to Republic City’s most powerful and vicious crime lord was a smart move in terms of social status. And once Yakone fell from power, they cut themselves off from her for more or less the same reason: which is why she had to flee the city with her husband.
She probably died when Tarrlok was fairly young, but she would sit down every morning and fix her son’s hair into the traditional Northern Water Tribe style. Maybe it was just force of habit for him after that, which came in handy later when he traveled there to remake his identity.
/stupid head-canon to be later and violently jossed.
I really
Although this is what Tarrlock's mommy REALLY looks like: [link]
I know you probably made this before the finale but that's okay dear because I really
We all know how Tarrlock REALLY got his hairstyle!
I was wondering if I could use the woman to be my OCs mother. I'll just say I got the base part from you
You can just send me a note if it's okay to use the woman or not, thanks!~
Hahaha, thank you so much! I'll bet his mother was the one who did his hair, too, and usually said something along the lines of "Well, it looks very handsome on your father, why don't you want to wear it this way?"
(Thank you!)
And you DID at least manage to guess that one of Tarrlok's parents had this haircut before he did-- just the opposite one from canon, lol...
