Time to break hearts: Ages of LOK characters at the estimated time of the Cataclysm

Avatar: Seven Havens takes place 225 years after The Legend of Korra. We don't know the precise timing of the Cataclysm, but, considering Bryke often utilize round numbers, there's a common fan idea that the Cataclysm was 25 years after LOK, then ASH is 200 years after the Cataclysm. My post uses this estimate for the below ages. Based on Korra's appearance in the trailer, if this isn't right I don't think the truth is too far off.

Keep in mind that it's possible not everyone died during the Cataclysm. They could have survived awhile longer, but I think it's likely most or all died in or around the Cataclysm (ignoring possible earlier death dates from other things). The numbers are also assumed to be after people's birthdays. If they hadn't had their birthday at the time of the Cataclysm, just subtract one off the number. Treat these like minimum ages the characters made it to I suppose. Let me know if there are any others you want added to the list or if you have any corrections. With that out of the way, here are the estimates from youngest to oldest in 199 AG / 10028 AWHC.

EDIT: I'm really surprised by how many people think Korra was in her 50s or 60s during the Cataclysm. Here's my post about Korra's age and why she looks mid-40s (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/s/k1rnggm60x). Basically, she looks almost identical in age to her father in LOK Book 4 when he was mid-to-late 40s.

Today marks 12 years since the release of The Legend of Korra: Book 4! What do you like the most about this season?

This date is special to me because I rewatched Aang and watched Korra for the first time in September 2014, catching the Season 4 premiere right as it happened. It was thrilling to follow the weekly release of each new episode, and here I am again—rewatching Aang and Korra—just in time for the release of Seven Havens. Many things changed in my life since 2014, but not my love for the series.

How would you have the show's title being said by a character in the actual show without it sounding cringe?

Atla easily did it a lot of times too.

I love Zuko being in that scene. He could finally rest in peace knowing that the air nation is back.

(I'm sure a lot brought this on before me but) something I appreciate so much about that scene is the addition of Zuko in it. He in ATLA always wanted to help Aang undo the damage the fire nation did and we see a glimpse of that in the movie when he's finally happy that the actions will be undone in a way *which didn't happen in the movie xD*

But instead he gets to live long enough just to see it happen in front of him and with Aang's reincarnation. Of course shame would be in a way still chasing after him in a sense of hating what the fire nation did but he absolutely is full of joy knowing that the air nation is back.

Of course, it can be viewed as some sort of official event but also it reflects a lot about Zuko.

The fact mako and korra are unsafe as characters and are allowed to have messy flaws that aren't sanitized are why mako and korra are great and why they are my faves

Seriously

And it's why they both got unreasonable amount of hatred since b1 where people acted like they were horrible people who needed specific punishment for their mistakes they are sympathetic (though some people can't move past certain things like mako unintentionally causing pain they will twist it into him being a womanizer or not caring about them

And a bunch of disingenuous takes like thr attempt to claim he called asami a leech which comes off as showcase of blind irrational hatred where you warp someone's words to justify their hate

Like claiming not specifically punishing thr flaws is the same as not acknowledging it to rewarding it when no it isnt

It would
