Description 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.

This is very lovely I have to admit!
I really how this turned out and Tarrlock's mommy looks beauiful.
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 it!
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 I'm in with this woman I mean the feels!
You can just send me a note if it's okay to use the woman or not, thanks!~

You know, when they did finally showed Tarrlok's mother in the show, I WAS LIKE SO TRYING TO FIND the back of her head because of this amazing drawing you did. I wanted you to be so right, in as he got his hairstyle from his mother...but well we all know who he gets it from XD Either way I love this. And who knows, maybe she did do his hair a lot because daddy Yakone was an a-hole.

I WAS SORT OF HOPING FOR IT, I GOTTA ADMIT.

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?"

Awwwww, in the end he probably does his father's hairstyle after deciding to go and try and take over Republic City...=/ I guess in a small honor or pride of his father? Ugh the story of Tarrlok and Amon makes me sad ;_;

If you notice in the flash back, when Yakone changed his identity, he had three ponytails.

Man, I love this idea! A shame it didn't turn out that way, even if the real backstory for them was cool too...

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...

I accept your head-canon because how it tuggs at my heartstrings! Your story makes Tarrlok seem more tragic than evil -- it makes him human.

Her hair is absolutely stunning and I like how her back is turned to us -- I wonder what her expression is?
Secondly, look at that itty bitty baby Tarrlok hand! Who would ever expect those hands to cause so much trouble?

It probably won't be jossed, just not addressed. Nice drawing. I like the muted tone you picked for it. It fits with the mood she would have been in at the time.

Aw stop making me feel bad for the evil guy I actually feel very sorry for him now, I mean I doubt Yakone would have won Father of the Year award. This is so sweet :3
