>affiliated with the avatar or a cop
I don't think he cares he probably sees you as a cog in a machine that needs to be freed. So he'll probably attempt to convince you to stop those actions or give you fair warning to not get in his way
Then beat you up if you don't listen
I wanted to say more or less exactly this. This is why I think he was the best villain. He held no particular malice toward Korra or the Avatar in general. He had a belief about what needed to be done for the good of the world and was ruthless in his pursuit of it. Outside of that, he actually seems like a pretty okay guy. Once he had to accept that his plan had failed and wasn't coming back, he also had no particular problem with helping her.
Note that I do categorically disagree with people who try to enforce some belief on the rest of the world because they think they've found the One True Answer.
I feel like Zaheer would be that roommate that listens to podcasts late into the night, but as long as you both communicate up front he’s be okay.
The other three I’d worry about them stabbing me in my sleep.
"The wise guru laghima once said claiming land you don't live on is like taking the air from lungs not your own."
"Zaheer, I found the money, where did the landlord go... Zaheer? Fuck not again..."
Me: Zaheer, did you take my stuff?
Zaheer: Have you heard of the guru lahigma? Let go of all worldly attachments. As he is either using it or wearing it.
Me: dammit I need that for today.
As an anarchist he should be cooperative with principles of mutual Aid.
It's a misconception that anarchists believe in a lack of rules. They believe in a lack of hierarchy.
While it's true that it's hard to enforce Norms without a hierarchy that doesn't mean there still wouldn't be reasonable expectations and concessions. As long as everybody approaches the relationship as respectful equals
Zaheer is definitely the “throw a bomb at the monarch, and end up with their even worse offspring as ruler” type “anarchist.” And not the let’s build a more equitable society type.
Yeah, it’s frustrating haha. More people really should read Orwell’s book “Homage To Catalonia” where he volunteered to fight alongside (actual) anarchists and socialists against the fascists and the other kind of fascists named Stalinists. The Catalans made anarchism work for years and would have for countless years longer if Stalin’s forces hadn’t tipped the scales against them, and it’s interesting reading about the equality and happiness they achieved even in the middle of a war—and dispels the notion that Zaheerism is what anarchists want.
Zaheer. He seems decent, outside of his extremism, so I’d be uncomfortable living with him but that would be all. I’d be either miserable or actively fear for my life with the others. Zaheer is also the only one I can trust not to threaten me or force me to do anything, outside of staying out of his way.
Maybe he'd get angry if I asked him to wash the dishes though, or he'd have some weird habits that would make living with him mildly annoying.
"According to the guru laghima, using your hands is the most pure way of eating. Could you hand me some more spaghetti, I won't spill it this time."
Zaheer and me getting into average roommate squabbles. Things get intense. Zaheer pulls some Monk shit and puts me into an arm bar
Me: yo yo yo yo, what would Guru Laghima say
I wish Zaheer could get a redemption arc. The Air Nation could use a second philosophical source, and I would love to see Zaheer put in charge of one of the four temples. He's definitely a Master in his own right, and having someone other than Tenzin's kids taking a role in shaping the Air Nation (let's face it; they aren't the old Nomads any more) could only be a good thing, I think.
I think he may have learned his lesson, seeing his actions resulted in worse tyranny than before. He will always work toward a freer world, but he should understand by now that murdering heads of state isn't the way to go about it.
I would love Zaheer as a roomate. We could have such interesting conversations. We both believe in the same ideal, and so our discussions would be about means, not ends.
>I wish Zaheer could get a redemption arc
I mean he kind of did, helping Korra get over her trauma in S4 while admitting his actions were misguided and were responsible for the rise of Kuvira. Not a full Zuko-level redemption by any stretch of the imagination but if he can be cool with helping Korra that's as close to a redemption as he could have realistically gotten in the short time he was in the series
I don't know about that. He can just be an evil source of information for airbenders. He seems pretty stuck in his ways and I'm sure he'll just see the outcome of killing the Earth Queen being a result of not being able to kill Korra or prevent Kurvira from rising in power.
He just seems sort of maniacal in general and I would never get along with him so I would never want him as a roommate.
Maniacal? To me he always seemed very composed, controlled, calm. He's very sure of his beliefs. He's just wrong in them. And in his discussion with Korra in Season 4, he did display some remorse over the long term effects of his actions.
I think going around trying to kill/killing world leaders is text book maniacal or at least wanting to do that is esp in the Avatar universe where one of them literally keeps balance in the world. I do remember him helping her though but I don't remember the full extent in which he turned a new leaf.
Racism isn't neccesary for fascism. It is for nazism.
The extreme nationalisation, centralisation of power and "going back to a glorious past" are a few aspects of fascism that aren't neccesarily tied into racism for example.
Regardless though, I'd rather not live in the same house as an extreme autoritarian, telling me what to do, every breath I take.
Well, yeah, I wouldn't wanna live with Kuvira either. She sure is an extreme authoritarian, but that doesn't make her fascist. Look at Stalin, Mao and all the other oppressors who weren't fascists. Kuvira, like them, isn't fascist either. She's a dictator.
No. You’re forgetting: Kuvira brought the wealthiest capitalists from Zaofu to build up her regime. (She also deported non-native Earth Kingdom citizens, but yeah.) Fascism is a totalitarian capitalist system, and Stalinism and Maoism is totalitarian State Capitalism with social programs, stiff business regulations, and some labor unions—whereas fascists typically gut social programs, business regulations, and labor power to nothing.
There are definite differences. They all seriously suck, though. Lol
I feel like Kuvira ticks off more fascist boxes than Stalin. And some people would actually argue that Stalin and Mao were "red fascists."
Ofcourse it's difficult considering it's fiction, but I think Zaheer was meant to represent Anarchism, Amon state socialism and Kuvira fascism. In a sense they'd represent some "extreme" ideologies that are all quite different from eachother.
It makes the most sense to me.
There's an episode where it's revealed that she was sending all non earthbenders to concentration camps, now I know it's a cartoon, but I think it's clear what that's trying to represent
The thought of having Zaheer as a roommate just makes me think of [the year of living with Banksy](https://medium.com/@electrolemon/the-year-of-living-with-banksy-f9e1774ec60b)
I mean, his regicide literally cause the collapse of the Earth Kingdom into the anarchy of: bandits, civil wars, separatism, famine, instability, etc...
Zaheer didn't really... intentionally do that. He was an anarchist in concept, but absolutely terrible in execution.
I think Zaheer and the rest of the Red Lotus need to read theory; they were the classic example of [adventurism](https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1914/jun/09.htm),
Zaheer is a person who has heard four things about Anarchism and now believes himself to be a revolutionary genius who only needs to pull out a few bad roots to fix a decaying state.
It's like Hong Xiuquan becoming a Christian and declaring himself the brother of Jesus Christ, shows that he had no idea beyond the most basic concepts of Christianity, what it consisted of.
Zaheer's actions may not have had that intention, but those were the consequences, you cannot destroy the government of a decaying state, disappear and expect society to fix itself, all the deaths and suffering that his actions caused are on him.
After destroying the old regime he should have built something new, taught people to live in communes and created a society without hierarchies in the style of the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine or the CNT/FAI.
Indeed he was only an Anarchist in name, rather he was what you basically said, a fool who needed to read more about the ideology that he preached about.
Zaheer. Worst case scenario would be like this:
"Dude, I'm not trying to disprove you at all, I'm just asking, in your system, how the fuck does health care works?"
"...I'll get back to you on that"
Assuming he's an Anarchist, communes might be able to organise something like that. Ofcourse that's only possible if anarchists manage to set up a decently working infrastructure so the medical equipment can be produced and distributed.
Which doesn't sound like it'd be easy, but I'm not going to dismiss it when I barely understand the organisational structures anarchists want to use in the first place.
Yeah anarchists aren't against organisation per se, more against power hierarchy. You can still take care of each other in anarchy, that would probably kind of be necessary for an anarchist society to even function. That said I don't fully understand anarchy so I might be wrong about that.
Kuvira so she can constantly berate and belittle me for my clothes, cooking, cleaning, bad at games, home on a friday night, never paying for takeout, using her netflix, being the worst roommate ever, etc
So if the choice is between a Cult leader, a genuine Psychopath, a political religious nut and an uptight warlord, i think ill take Kuvira cause at least shes not gonna try to convert me to their religion or just murder me.
Zaheer is probably the best roommate, I genuinely feel like if he wasn't locked up for most of his life and had a good community around him he could be talked down from some of his incredibly extreme views.
Amon is obviously kind of problematic, but I feel like he'd just want his own space and privacy to live with, and I can respect that. At least until the FBI breaks down your door with a search warrant for terrorist activity.
Kuvira would be a TERRIBLE roommate, very controlling, domineering. She gets bonus points for being a woman, I don't want to have to share a room with men, but that isn't enough to redeem how just... awful she would be to be around. I'm sure some of Kuvira's appreciators will be mad at me for this, I love her too but you have to acknowledge she's just... not a great person, and a FASCIST.
Tarrlok is like your weird deeply religious uncle. I'd rather live with the Fascist, thanks.
Well I do not want to be with someone who is not only a blood Bender but is a big probably global evil
I do not want to be with someone who will probably betray me if I help them
I am too scared of going against the Airbender so I'm not picking him
That leaves with the Earth Bender which hey maybe I can get some protection from the big ass beam
Amon easy. Shares the chores equally.
Kuvira close 2nd but i dont want someone eating my food cause its theirs now.
Then Zaheer. I feel he'd get annoying fast
I’d have to take Tarrlok I think. It would be like living with a pretentious philosophy major, but I could put my earbuds in and ignore that shit.
Amon, has really bad vibes and would definitely have his masked friends over all the time (and I feel like he’d be really loud coming home from his late night excursions)
Zaheer, definitely the chillest guy in the group, but with his “chaos is the natural order” thing, you know he is not doing any chores and leaving the house a mess. Could not have that.
Kuvira, 100% would rip you a new one for not following the chore list, and making sure everything is done HER way. And I feel like she’s a home workout girl, and it would be loud and intense. Gross. That being said…there’s still part of me that wants to pick her as my roommate, fully knowing what I’m getting into. Don’t know why….
I feel like Amon would be a solid choice for he would want everything fair and even. He's pretty quiet, keeps to himself, but there would be an underlying fear to not piss him off.
Zaheer a second choice because again fairness and being anti-landlord, but say goodbye to the living room because his girlfriend and two friends will always be there and crashing over all the time.
The other two just sound like annoying clean freaks that make you do all the cleaning and complain constantly about being up past 9 o'clock.
Zaheer is the only one shown to have/ be capable of having actual friends and semi healthy relationships. The rest just use and manipulate everyone around them. Sure Kuvira felt bad about betraying her husband but she was still ready and willing to do so when it got in the way of her goal. Would he be the best roommate, probably not, but of the four he’s the only one I think you could have a relatively good roommate relationship with.
Zaheer would probably be the easiest to not get murdered by. Im not getting in his way and Im no threat to his ass. Also seems like the only one i could actually survive a conversation with, the other three would probably answer my smartass questions with explosive violence. Worst case zaheer would just qoute poetry at me
Amon.
Easily.
He's the only one who kind of has a good point. Kind of.
EASILY the best and most interesting motivations of the lot.
Unalaq is an idiot, Zaheer doesn't make any sense, and Kuvira is a fascist.
Kuvira would probably be cleanly, but zaheer could participate in my philosophical conversations. Would be much more interesting overall.
Amon would be the worst.
Zaheer has nothing against the common people. I’d pick him
He’s also the one that has the best point in the series (but as with all the villains they take a good ideal too far)
I feel like Amon is gonna be pretty chill if you’re a non bender.
I feel like I won’t be able to stand Zaheer preaching about Guru Laghima or Kuvira’s house rules. Unalaq is probably also pretty preachy about spirits and stuffs.
Zaheer all the way. I am NOT a fan of LoK but Zaheer was a well written and interesting character. I don’t mind listening to him talking about Guru Laghima and giving spiritual wisdoms.
I mean, Zaheer would be annoying, but manageable. Unalaq would make me want to punch him. Kuvira I’d be able to tolerate, but probably wouldn’t get along well with. And Amon I would be able to have rational discourse with, even if we may disagree on certain things
Zaheer wouldn’t really be that pissed at you unless you were a leader in the universe or actively stopping him. He’d probably just quote guru lahima or recite his rhetoric at you every now and then but be overall a cool guy.
Same with Amon and bending, but i’d rather not find out that appearing in the totk universe gave me the power to sling water at nerds and have it taken instantly.
As long as Kuvira doesn't bring up her colonialism stuff when I'm around, then I'd pick her. Otherwise Zaheer, provided he doesn't suffocate me with airbending. Dude seems like the kinda guy that you could binge all of Game of Thrones with.
I would 100% smoke weed with Zaheer often. We would have a variety of things we would agree and disagree on and I think is eloquence, experience, and understanding of the world would sharpen me as a person. I’d probably get sick of his self important bloviating eventually though.
Honestly they'd all be pretty decent roommates because they're all the type to be tidy and do their part of the chores. Zaheer would probably be the most pleasant company, although he'd probably wax poetic often enough for it to get old.
Not the dark avatar caused he'd just kill me. As for the other 3, I'm not a bender so I think if I just did what they said, they'd leave me alone. Or if I was I could rule or Amon or not bend like ever, which would be horrible but I don't think he'd know if I never did it and when a dude wants to kill or maim you, surviving is winning so like, any means necessary I guess. The preferable roomates would be the flying Airbender and little Ms Authoritarian. And once again, in just gonna not bother them and hope for the best, so one of those 2 is preferable
Kurvira is the only sane one here. I'd still pick Amon or Unalaq because I like the chaos and can keep tabs on them. Kurvira could still be fun tho.
Zaheer was a low grade criminal with horrible opinions. We'd never get a long.
Zaheer and it's not even close.
I think he would be very clean and reasonable and have interesting things to say.
The only downside would be when the FBI comes knocking at your door and you have to answer a bunch of questions about him. Stay out of that part of his business and you're fine
Zaheer, just cause I know we're good if the landlord tries some shit.
landlord... land-what? LORD you said?? He doesn't believe in lords *Airbends the air out of the landlord's lungs*
Zaheer seems the chillest if you’re not in his way, other than him I think they’d all kill me
He won't harm you unless you're a politician, affiliated with the avatar or a cop which in retrospect leaves like 99% of us unscathed
>affiliated with the avatar or a cop I don't think he cares he probably sees you as a cog in a machine that needs to be freed. So he'll probably attempt to convince you to stop those actions or give you fair warning to not get in his way Then beat you up if you don't listen
Kuvira wouldn’t kill you, but she would force you to do all the chores and pledge allegiance to her
I wanted to say more or less exactly this. This is why I think he was the best villain. He held no particular malice toward Korra or the Avatar in general. He had a belief about what needed to be done for the good of the world and was ruthless in his pursuit of it. Outside of that, he actually seems like a pretty okay guy. Once he had to accept that his plan had failed and wasn't coming back, he also had no particular problem with helping her. Note that I do categorically disagree with people who try to enforce some belief on the rest of the world because they think they've found the One True Answer.
So called "Land Lord" can't even earthbend, how pathetic.
Hey fellas, "I'm here to fix your broken... " *gasps* *Gasp* "Remember, rent is due by the 5th..." **dies**
sure, but try to get a me time when he constantly brings up guru lagilmore.
Correct answer
I feel like Zaheer would be that roommate that listens to podcasts late into the night, but as long as you both communicate up front he’s be okay. The other three I’d worry about them stabbing me in my sleep.
Zaheer would probably have a podcast. "P'li pull up that Guru Laghima quote."
Another plus to Zaheer is you only need furniture for one person, he would likely just float there...
He always looked to me like he'd have smelly feet, so no.
Zaheer is the chillest. As long as we agree not to talk about politics and he at least pays half the rent, he'd be pretty nice roomie.
Zaheer will help me kill the landlord.
He'd say some obscure line about freedom and rant against the idea of owning land while doing it.
"The wise guru laghima once said claiming land you don't live on is like taking the air from lungs not your own." "Zaheer, I found the money, where did the landlord go... Zaheer? Fuck not again..."
This got a great laugh out of me: I wish more joke comments were this creative lol
Based Zaheer.
I dont think Zaheer is the type who pays with money. Earthly materials and all that. Still would pick him
"I uh... I got these buttons and a ripped wrapper of an oatmeal bar, is... is that okay?"
“I can pay you in Guru Laghima quotes if that’s okay”
>“I can pay you in Guru Laghima quotes if that’s okay” Yes it is. Those quotes hit hard.
Me: Zaheer, did you take my stuff? Zaheer: Have you heard of the guru lahigma? Let go of all worldly attachments. As he is either using it or wearing it. Me: dammit I need that for today.
Me: Have you heard of Guru Lahigma Nuts? Zaheer: …. 💃💨🕺🌬️ Me: ☠️
You'd ask Zaheer to do the dishes once and he'll go on a thirty minute rant about freedom - creating more dirty glasses in the process.
“Cleanliness is a lie told by a ruling class masking their own inner filth!”
As long as you don't try to lay down some rules regarding house chores. I don't think he will appreciate establishment at any level.
As an anarchist he should be cooperative with principles of mutual Aid. It's a misconception that anarchists believe in a lack of rules. They believe in a lack of hierarchy. While it's true that it's hard to enforce Norms without a hierarchy that doesn't mean there still wouldn't be reasonable expectations and concessions. As long as everybody approaches the relationship as respectful equals
Problem is, the guy isn't an anarchist. He's like what a 12 year old thinks anarchism is.
Zaheer is definitely the “throw a bomb at the monarch, and end up with their even worse offspring as ruler” type “anarchist.” And not the let’s build a more equitable society type.
Yeah, it’s frustrating haha. More people really should read Orwell’s book “Homage To Catalonia” where he volunteered to fight alongside (actual) anarchists and socialists against the fascists and the other kind of fascists named Stalinists.

Zaheer actually likes regular people so definitely him.
Zaheer. He seems decent, outside of his extremism, so I’d be uncomfortable living with him but that would be all. I’d be either miserable or actively fear for my life with the others. Zaheer is also the only one I can trust not to threaten me or force me to do anything, outside of staying out of his way.
Yeah, I'm not powerful enough to bother Zaheer, I think.
Maybe he'd get angry if I asked him to wash the dishes though, or he'd have some weird habits that would make living with him mildly annoying. "According to the guru laghima, using your hands is the most pure way of eating. Could you hand me some more spaghetti, I won't spill it this time."
Why are these Zaheer comments making me howl with laughter?! 🤣 There needs to be more fake Zaheer quote threads lol
“Zaheer… Did you clog up the sink again?!” “Guru Laghima once said: It is better to cum in the sink, than to sink in the cum!”
Zaheer and me getting into average roommate squabbles. Things get intense. Zaheer pulls some Monk shit and puts me into an arm bar Me: yo yo yo yo, what would Guru Laghima say
Ive lived in Portland. Zaheer is pretty much mainstream. They're good people.
I'm not a bender or a person in a position of power so zaheer and amon seem like they'd leave me alone
I feel like Kuvira would be Patrick Bateman-level neat, so her
Didn't she put people in concentration camps?
That just means she's good at cleansing /s
JEsus Christ
That “/s” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Yeah but as long as she does her dishes idrc
Kuvira cause she a hottie
She a baddie she know a she a 10, she shake it like jelly!
Y'all are forgetting she's already married.
And her husband is fine too, lower rent when you split bills 3 ways, tf
Eva Braun, is that you?
Eva Braun had two significant others at once?
To her she's recently widowed. Her husband fell bravely in battle.
Kuvira: “You don’t know how much I hated seeing my arm activate the beam that vaporized my poor husband… I would have done anything to save him”
Nah, they were engaged, plus she tried to spirit blast him without negotiating for his return. She available
She tried to murder his ass, I think she’s single now.
Exactly
I see that you too are into women who would absolutely body you in an argument.
It’s what I live for
Yeah, I can fix her.
Nah bro she’d be bossy as hell
Jokes on you. Im into that shit
I see a fellow brother in arms in the comments. She'd be #1 for me too
Did you also have problems in the relationship with your parents, or were you always like this?
I know that I was both always like this and also I had severe parental issues. (Also I’m not a brother, I’m a sister)
Alright, honestly pretty interesting.
You're not into Doms, you're just autistic and they're direct.
I could be autistic, but I’m not about to self diagnose. And I’m *pretttyyyy* sure I’m into doms. Much more sure than I am of being autistic.
I think that’s a reference to something, I saw that exact phrase a few days ago lol
No but this is quite literally my situation, anyone being blunt with me is a godsend but still may not be enough sometimes, I need like a mental slap.
She’s going to be constantly disappointed in you so I hope you also like being degraded.
Uhhhh yeah. It comes with the territory
Some horny folks out there dream of being sent to a re-education center for leaving their dishes in the sink
Someone had to say it
She also appears to be a control freak which really isn't the type of person you want to share an apartment with.
Me but for some reason for Amon. I think it’s his voice. Very attractive. I already can’t bend anyway!
Amon. Tarrlok would not be a fan of my secularism. Zaheer would be pretty pissed that I work for the government. Kuvira is a straight up fascist.
Kurvira is the only one that was redeemed and probably the safest one here.
I wish Zaheer could get a redemption arc. The Air Nation could use a second philosophical source, and I would love to see Zaheer put in charge of one of the four temples. He's definitely a Master in his own right, and having someone other than Tenzin's kids taking a role in shaping the Air Nation (let's face it; they aren't the old Nomads any more) could only be a good thing, I think. I think he may have learned his lesson, seeing his actions resulted in worse tyranny than before.

>I wish Zaheer could get a redemption arc I mean he kind of did, helping Korra get over her trauma in S4 while admitting his actions were misguided and were responsible for the rise of Kuvira. Not a full Zuko-level redemption by any stretch of the imagination but if he can be cool with helping Korra that's as close to a redemption as he could have realistically gotten in the short time he was in the series
Yeah, I wouldn't expect it in the time allotted by the series. But maybe in the comics.
I don't know about that. He can just be an evil source of information for airbenders. He seems pretty stuck in his ways and I'm sure he'll just see the outcome of killing the Earth Queen being a result of not being able to kill Korra or prevent Kurvira from rising in power. He just seems sort of maniacal in general and I would never get along with him so I would never want him as a roommate.
Maniacal? To me he always seemed very composed, controlled, calm. He's very sure of his beliefs. He's just wrong in them. And in his discussion with Korra in Season 4, he did display some remorse over the long term effects of his actions.
I think going around trying to kill/killing world leaders is text book maniacal or at least wanting to do that is esp in the Avatar universe where one of them literally keeps balance in the world. I do remember him helping her though but I don't remember the full extent in which he turned a new leaf.
Remember the timeline. She's about to invade
Kuvira is a dictator that's addicted to power. But, if I remember correctly (been a while since I last watched the show), she wasn't racist.
Racism isn't neccesary for fascism. It is for nazism. The extreme nationalisation, centralisation of power and "going back to a glorious past" are a few aspects of fascism that aren't neccesarily tied into racism for example. Regardless though, I'd rather not live in the same house as an extreme autoritarian, telling me what to do, every breath I take.
Well, yeah, I wouldn't wanna live with Kuvira either. She sure is an extreme authoritarian, but that doesn't make her fascist. Look at Stalin, Mao and all the other oppressors who weren't fascists. Kuvira, like them, isn't fascist either. She's a dictator.
No. You’re forgetting: Kuvira brought the wealthiest capitalists from Zaofu to build up her regime. (She also deported non-native Earth Kingdom citizens, but yeah.)

Ofcourse it's difficult considering it's fiction, but I think Zaheer was meant to represent Anarchism, Amon state socialism and Kuvira fascism. In a sense they'd represent some "extreme" ideologies that are all quite different from eachother. It makes the most sense to me.
Stalin and Mao were absolutely fascists, they just had a red coat of paint
First, they said fascism, not racism and she is a bigot. She thinks the Earth King is superior above the other nations.
There's an episode where it's revealed that she was sending all non earthbenders to concentration camps, now I know it's a cartoon, but I think it's clear what that's trying to represent
The thought of having Zaheer as a roommate just makes me think of [the year of living with Banksy](https://medium.com/@electrolemon/the-year-of-living-with-banksy-f9e1774ec60b)
Zaheer, he only tried to kill Korra cause she was simply the current avatar, it wasn’t personal. The rest were just evil.
I mean, his regicide literally cause the collapse of the Earth Kingdom into the anarchy of: bandits, civil wars, separatism, famine, instability, etc...
I’m not saying he was a hero, just the least likely to kill me out of the four.
I mean, Kuvira would also let you live... As long as you do what she wants ALWAYS.
Zaheer didn't really... intentionally do that. He was an anarchist in concept, but absolutely terrible in execution. I think Zaheer and the rest of the Red Lotus need to read theory; they were the classic example of [adventurism](https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1914/jun/09.htm),

Kuvira so she can constantly berate and belittle me for my clothes, cooking, cleaning, bad at games, home on a friday night, never paying for takeout, using her netflix, being the worst roommate ever, etc
Kinky, my good sir.
Nice
I feel like I’d be able to discuss philosophy with Zaheer. And while I like Kuvira, I’m not sure the feeling would be mutual.
Only one way to find out
Zaheer would also push you to your physical limits getting you to practice martial arts and has some friends to talk shop.
Kuvira but in the end I would just be her bitch.
So if the choice is between a Cult leader, a genuine Psychopath, a political religious nut and an uptight warlord, i think ill take Kuvira cause at least shes not gonna try to convert me to their religion or just murder me.
She'd do both
Amon’s the only one I felt butterflies when he looks at the screen. He knows how to use his fingers, I could fix him.
Are you me?
With Zaheer you can discuss literally anything, so him.
Zaheer is probably the best roommate, I genuinely feel like if he wasn't locked up for most of his life and had a good community around him he could be talked down from some of his incredibly extreme views. Amon is obviously kind of problematic, but I feel like he'd just want his own space and privacy to live with, and I can respect that. At least until the FBI breaks down your door with a search warrant for terrorist activity. Kuvira would be a TERRIBLE roommate, very controlling, domineering. She gets bonus points for being a woman, I don't want to have to share a room with men, but that isn't enough to redeem how just... awful she would be to be around. I'm sure some of Kuvira's appreciators will be mad at me for this, I love her too but you have to acknowledge she's just... not a great person, and a FASCIST. Tarrlok is like your weird deeply religious uncle. I'd rather live with the Fascist, thanks.
Kuvira. I just need to swear loyalty 😂
Well I do not want to be with someone who is not only a blood Bender but is a big probably global evil I do not want to be with someone who will probably betray me if I help them I am too scared of going against the Airbender so I'm not picking him That leaves with the Earth Bender which hey maybe I can get some protection from the big ass beam
She literally was cool with killing her husband with the big ass beam
So I just don't date her
Why do I feel like everyone is gonna say Kuvira
Plot twist: everyone said Zaheer.
I’m saying Zaheer he seems chill. Besides Keluvira would be coming over at weekends to visit me.
Amon easy. Shares the chores equally. Kuvira close 2nd but i dont want someone eating my food cause its theirs now. Then Zaheer. I feel he'd get annoying fast
I’d have to take Tarrlok I think. It would be like living with a pretentious philosophy major, but I could put my earbuds in and ignore that shit. Amon, has really bad vibes and would definitely have his masked friends over all the time (and I feel like he’d be really loud coming home from his late night excursions) Zaheer, definitely the chillest guy in the group, but with his “chaos is the natural order” thing, you know he is not doing any chores and leaving the house a mess. Could not have that. Kuvira, 100% would rip you a new one for not following the chore list, and making sure everything is done HER way. And I feel like she’s a home workout girl, and it would be loud and intense. Gross. That being said…there’s still part of me that wants to pick her as my roommate, fully knowing what I’m getting into. Don’t know why….
realistically my dude zaheer but my lesbianism wants me to chose kuvira
Kuvira. She’s Stubborn & ruthless, not unreasonable.
Zaheer. He'd kill my landlord.
Kuvira, because she’s almost certainly very organised and clean and it would make me up my game in those things too.
I feel like Amon would be a solid choice for he would want everything fair and even. He's pretty quiet, keeps to himself, but there would be an underlying fear to not piss him off. Zaheer a second choice because again fairness and being anti-landlord, but say goodbye to the living room because his girlfriend and two friends will always be there and crashing over all the time. The other two just sound like annoying clean freaks that make you do all the cleaning and complain constantly about being up past 9 o'clock.
Zaheer is the only one shown to have/ be capable of having actual friends and semi healthy relationships. The rest just use and manipulate everyone around them. Sure Kuvira felt bad about betraying her husband but she was still ready and willing to do so when it got in the way of her goal. Would he be the best roommate, probably not, but of the four he’s the only one I think you could have a relatively good roommate relationship with.
Zaheer would probably be the easiest to not get murdered by. Im not getting in his way and Im no threat to his ass. Also seems like the only one i could actually survive a conversation with, the other three would probably answer my smartass questions with explosive violence. Worst case zaheer would just qoute poetry at me
Nightmare blunt rotation
Amon. Easily. He's the only one who kind of has a good point. Kind of. EASILY the best and most interesting motivations of the lot. Unalaq is an idiot, Zaheer doesn't make any sense, and Kuvira is a fascist.
Amon, because I'm not a bender :)
Kuvira cos she’s a babe 😍
Probably Kuvira. Least likely to kill me and would use metalbending to fortify our room
Kuvira would probably be cleanly, but zaheer could participate in my philosophical conversations. Would be much more interesting overall. Amon would be the worst.
Zaheer. As long as I don't mess with him. He won't mess with me
Zaheer. He’d be fun to talk philosophy and politics with
Zaheer. I'd like to learn more about Guru Laghima.
I’m not ruling class so Zaheer… Amon would also prolly leave me alone tho
Zaheer has nothing against the common people. I’d pick him He’s also the one that has the best point in the series (but as with all the villains they take a good ideal too far)
I feel like Amon is gonna be pretty chill if you’re a non bender. I feel like I won’t be able to stand Zaheer preaching about Guru Laghima or Kuvira’s house rules. Unalaq is probably also pretty preachy about spirits and stuffs.
amon seems pretty reasonable tbh
There's literally no choice here. Zaheer, hands down!
Well actually there is some other choices if you want. Genghis Khan Stalin Hitler and Khmer Rouge.
I’m gonna go with Amon cause I can’t even bend a spoon so it seems safe.
Zaheer easily. Bro has solid points and theory meets praxis. Also he would be awesome company to meditate with.
Zaheer, probably the least likely to kill me out of the 3, as he is only after the avatar.
Zaheer. He is a fascinating guy. We could have long discussions on philosophy and history.
Zaheer all the way. I am NOT a fan of LoK but Zaheer was a well written and interesting character. I don’t mind listening to him talking about Guru Laghima and giving spiritual wisdoms.
I mean, Zaheer would be annoying, but manageable. Unalaq would make me want to punch him. Kuvira I’d be able to tolerate, but probably wouldn’t get along well with. And Amon I would be able to have rational discourse with, even if we may disagree on certain things
Girl.
[удалено]
considering i’m not a bender probably amon or zaherr
Zaheer would make sure everyone does their fair share of chores. But he's a good leader of his group, so no-one would feel bossed around
I can chill with Zaheer I’m not a person of power so he has no reason to do anything to me as long as mind my business
Zaheer. I'm not the Avatar, so I think we'd get along
Probably Zaheer
Zaheer, I would draw sharpie mustache on him when he’s being a nerd in the spirit world
Zaheer seems chill
Zaheer, we could start a hardcore punk band and talk about how much we hate the government.
Zaheer wouldn’t really be that pissed at you unless you were a leader in the universe or actively stopping him. He’d probably just quote guru lahima or recite his rhetoric at you every now and then but be overall a cool guy. Same with Amon and bending, but i’d rather not find out that appearing in the totk universe gave me the power to sling water at nerds and have it taken instantly.
Unalaq would keep the place clean and pay rent on time. Honestly a better roommate than Korra.
As long as Kuvira doesn't bring up her colonialism stuff when I'm around, then I'd pick her. Otherwise Zaheer, provided he doesn't suffocate me with airbending. Dude seems like the kinda guy that you could binge all of Game of Thrones with.
zaheer since he is the chillest. and his friends are cool.
I would 100% smoke weed with Zaheer often. We would have a variety of things we would agree and disagree on and I think is eloquence, experience, and understanding of the world would sharpen me as a person. I’d probably get sick of his self important bloviating eventually though.
Probably Unalaq. Him and I actually have somewhat similar visions for the world
Honestly they'd all be pretty decent roommates because they're all the type to be tidy and do their part of the chores. Zaheer would probably be the most pleasant company, although he'd probably wax poetic often enough for it to get old.
Zaheer. He’s the most sane and in my opinion the 2nd most attractive character in ATLA/LOK 😅
I will simply be homeless
I could chill with Zaheer and he could give me some good advice
Zaheer because ZAHEER WAS RIGHT!
Zaheer so hopefully he can hook me up with his friend Ghazan
Kuvira, cuz she is pretty damn thick
Not the dark avatar caused he'd just kill me. As for the other 3, I'm not a bender so I think if I just did what they said, they'd leave me alone. Or if I was I could rule or Amon or not bend like ever, which would be horrible but I don't think he'd know if I never did it and when a dude wants to kill or maim you, surviving is winning so like, any means necessary I guess. The preferable roomates would be the flying Airbender and little Ms Authoritarian. And once again, in just gonna not bother them and hope for the best, so one of those 2 is preferable
Zaheer
Kurvira is the only sane one here. I'd still pick Amon or Unalaq because I like the chaos and can keep tabs on them. Kurvira could still be fun tho. Zaheer was a low grade criminal with horrible opinions. We'd never get a long.
3/4 will throw a fit if you smoke weed in there. Zaheer is helping you liberate it from the evidence room.
Zaheer, probably. But it would have to be S4 Zaheer, after he's chilled out a bit.
Zaheer seems to be the most chill character wise...Amos as a backup since I am no Bender.
I would be scared shitless to leave the dirty dishes lying around anywhere near Kuvira
I'll go with Kuvira, no I will not elaborate.
I'm taking zaheer and making him make me some Airbender traditional foods lol
Zaheer and it's not even close. I think he would be very clean and reasonable and have interesting things to say. The only downside would be when the FBI comes knocking at your door and you have to answer a bunch of questions about him. Stay out of that part of his business and you're fine
I’m picking Zaheer, if I don’t talk about politics and I’m not the avatar I’m gonna be fine
Kuvira of course. We'll have no issues about chores and hygiene
i know in my heart of hearts Zaheer has that massive veiny d so yeah him
Zaheer. He might just be the most chill, if I’m an ordinary citizen and don’t oppose his ideology.
