Korra Episode 9 Reaction

[jerkblood]

It's a trick. It has to be. This can't have happened. Not to me! I want it back. I need it back! Give, it, back! Give me back my bending!

Without it, I'm just... just some non-bender. I have... no power. No control! You can't leave me like this. You just can't.  Without my bloodbending... how can I even force this mun to keep tagging with me? This place is the only world now in which I can thrive! I need it. I need my control back.

I'm not surprised a filthy Water Tribe peasant like you lacks the pride necessary to deal with the situation and move on.

[ Well, to him Tarrlok is a peasant. Despite, you know, Ozai rotting away in jail. ]

[jerkblood]

Peasant? I am so much more than that! I had Republic City in the palm of my hand. I had a power beyond all that of other bending. Bending that grants total control over a person, a feeling you can't even imagine. I'll have my pride when I have it back!

[therosensaint]

In my mun's words "At least the Tarrlok situation is solved."

[jerkblood]

You and your mun wouldn't feel so confident if I had my bending back.

[spiritblocked]

So how does it feel, Tarrlok?

[Honestly? He deserved it. She doesn't have the time right now to feel bad for him.]

[jerkblood]

Avatar.

[He can't be weak. Not in front of her.]

Why don't you try to take on Amon now and feel it for yourself?

[miikun]

There's a million ways to force someone to do something.

[jerkblood]

I know. I know! I've done them all. This is just... it's just a setback, you see!

[boomerangs]

It must run in the family. Something in the blood, maybe.

[jerkblood]

[Scoff.]

I didn't know that dead men told jokes.

[decayofmemory]

Sucks to be you. [Small devious smile]

[jerkblood]

Silence.

[probendingavatar]

You got what was coming to you. [This Avatar shows no pity for you.]

[jerkblood]

I sure as hell hope you get yours.

[hotheadedsavior]

You got exactly what you deserved, Tarrlok.

[She doesn't agree with how Amon operates but in this situation she feels he did the right thing - after what she saw of his father Korra knows that Tarrlok couldn't have been stopped any other way.]

You could have learned from your father's mistakes but instead you chose to make the same mistakes. You have no one to blame for your current situation but yourself. Take the lesson and learn from it. Your bending might be gone but maybe redemption isn't beyond you yet.

[jerkblood]

I did learn. I learned how to control the system! How to avoid getting caught! I didn't deserve any of this. I won! I was winning!

[reversible]

You'll get used to it.

[jerkblood]

No. I won't.

[equalizes]

How quickly your kind crumbles. You know nothing of true power.

[jerkblood]

[A pause. A gasp of fear.]

Give it back.

Hope you don't mind.

[therosensaint]

My mun has gained some respect for you. She has or had mixed feelings about you. She is debuting about joining your side.

[smackdownsoup]

As much as I dislike Amon and his tactics and everything about him-

I think this is appropriate for you.

[jerkblood]

You would mock me. You never knew power, you hack.

[flameoroku]

You shouldn't have done what you did then.

[jerkblood]

Don't lecture me as if you knew me. That's not what I want right now.

[howdoiairbend]

Sucks to be you, man. You've probably gotten it from everyone else, anyway, but you deserved it.

[Did you want more Korras coming by to gawk at how far you've fallen? Well, here's one. She doesn't really approve of Amon, not after what he did, but this? Is actually kind of fitting.]

[jerkblood]

You can't just decide who deserves and doesn't deserve bending, Avatar! That's outrageous.
