We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.
Welcome to BEHG. We hope you enjoy your trip through our cesspool of hatred and lies.

They're slow about putting them up, huh.

So yeah, show's maintaining my interest pretty well. I hope they do something more interesting with the Equalists than the assholes they've shown the non-grass root parts of the organization as. I mean, that agitator guy in the first and third episodes was chainsawing right. Amon's a dick, though.
But life as a non-bender really isn't that bad. Especially if you compare it to even 70 years earlier. Also a great deal of their technology revolves around bending.

Also the second I saw Asasmi I knew the fangirl shippers would go chainsawing ape. I'm glad I was right.
I had to check what shippers meant but now I'm sure lulz were had.

Still is a fact that non-benders have nothing on benders if the bender wants to do something to them. This chi blocking thing should get more widespread, evens the playing field.

What confuses me perpetually about this world, is why the benders don't just simply outbreed nonbenders, so almost everyone is a bender by now.

I mean, if your choice is between having a kid that can bend an element and a kid that can't, wouldn't you choose the bending?

Maybe it's a recessive gene? Or maybe benders take all the dangerous jobs (like, say, soldier), and so get killed off younger and more frequently? Or maybe for those reasons, bender genes aren't actually selected for?

Yeah Bending is really chainsawing wonky. Two benders can give birth to a non-bender. Two non-benders can give birth to a bender.
Okay, think of what little patience I have as, oh, I don't know, your virginity. You always thought it would be there, until that night Junior Year when you were feeling a little down about yourself and your pal Kevin, who just wanted to be friends, well, he dropped by and he brought a copy of About Last Night and a four-pack of Bartels & James and woo hoo hoo, it was gone forever - just like my patience is now. ~ Dr. Perry Cox

Who the hell... put bouillon cubes in the shower head!?! Huh? Hm, did you do it? Hm? Did you? If it happens again, I will wait in my S.U.V., blast me some speed-metal -- 5.1 surround sound, heavy on the bass -- and someone... will be getting... mowed... down. ~ Dr. Hooch

I'm actually having trouble thinking of examples of either of those... Most cases I can think of were either two benders having bender kids, or a bender and a non-bender having either one. I can't think of any cases saying specifically that neither parent was a bender.

It works out pretty easily if you have at least two genes controlling it.

Not unlike how blue-eyed people can have brown-eyed babies and brown-eyed people can have blue-eyed babies.

For example, the loci x and y could have a/A and b/B as their variations. You need at least one A and one B to be a bender.

So two parents could be aAbB and AaBb (benders) and give birth to a aabb child (nonbender). Conversely, two parents could be Aabb and aaBb (non-benders) and give birth to an AaBb child (bender)

Katara and presumably Toph are both examples of non-bending couples giving birth to bender.

Wasn't Katara's mother a bender, though? And I figured Toph's dad could be or could not be, it never really said.

Katara was special since she was the only bender in the Southern Water tribe. Her mom just said she was a bender so that the Fire Nation troops would kill her instead of Katara.

Toph's parents showed no signs of being able to bend, but since their is no evidence either way I said presumably. I suppose one of them could be a really shitty bender.

First time I EVER understood multiple-gene relations. It was always my dump stat in Biology.

After watching the most recent episode I am very happy to see that Toph passed on all of her badassery to her daughter.

Looks like Asami can fight decent too.
