Eska and Desna totally not caring thAT THEIR DAD DIED. He was a shitty dad, but a moment of mourning would have been nice

yeah, that bugged me a bit too. like, in the previous episode they were talking about how we was the wisest man in the world and that what he did was probably for the best. I mean, I get that their dad was a shitty person and an undeniably horrible father and the twins are kind of emotionless but the "lol no we don't give a shit that he's dead" was still a bit...idk. I like to think that they did grieve a little bit in private in their own way. it's just hard to imagine that they felt absolutely nothing after the death of a man that they were loyal to beyond reason

I think that by the time he actually died, they had already written him off. I was just frustrated they didn't do it sooner. With all those little glances they were giving each other, I was expecting them to kill him before Korra even got there. One thing I found interesting was that after the fusion, people were referring to him as "it". He'd completely lost his humanity, and I think that's when Eska and Desna thought, "This isn't our father anymore." The "wisest man" stuff was probably them being in deep denial. I really doubt he gave them much affection, to be honest, and maybe they were desperate for it.

They seemed to love Unalaq in the previous episode and stood by his side, which was what I had issue with. They went from "we must stand by father" to "eh." It was a dramatic change. They did seem to know that he had a few screws loose, but they said they saw what a great man their father was.

I do think you make a good point that they thought Unavaatu wasn't their father anymore. Still, he did die.

Yeah, the show didn't go into it enough (then again, it's not their show) which is why I'm filling in the spaces with my interpretations. So all the praise they were heaping on him? I'm calling it denial.

It'd be interesting to see it explored in fic. Maybe they're different when nobody else is around. And how will they explain it to their mother? Did we ever even see their mother? What is she like? What type of reaction are they expecting?

I might just be weirdly fascinated with them.

I'll agree with you on denial. I'd love to read a fic where Desna and Eska break down and have to finally deal with their fathers death, their mistreatment, and what he was trying to achieve.

I don't think we did see their mom? Maybe she passed when they were young? Or she didn't have a standing in the story so Bryke and co. didn't find the urge to put her in the show.

They're interesting characters. I can see why you would be. I am too.

Well, Eska made the comment "How we will explain this to mother?" so I think she's alive. I think if their mother was in the spirit world somewhere/already reincarnated it would matter that much.

Ohhh, right! Now I want fic of Desna and Eska's home life and how their mother ties into everything.

Yesss, I also wanna see them interacting with Korra when they were kids.

That would be great. I can picture them getting into trouble and torturing Korra, who fights dirty back. Or maybe they were all really cute trouble makers and it changed when D&E got older and Unalaq got more of a hold on them.
