Toph: *punches him because she laughed in-spite of herself*That’s a terrible line. Where did that even come from-

Thank you for sharing it! B^)

Love this headcanon! :)

Aang being more of a baker is something I also headcanon for him. Especially since he was taught by Gyatso custard pies, whose to say he didn't learn a few other recipes as well.

I think Aang would get the hang of some meat alternative spins to common EK dishes Sokka likes, but know Sokka, he'd say there's still something missing. That doesn't stop him from devouring that plate of food and asking Aang for thirds. Sokka loves the dumplings Aang makes and does ask Aang to make them when they hang out.

Aang is a better baker but that can because of his own sweet tooth.

Get this, Aang, being a nice 16-year-old, Christian-esque, rule-following young man, but also taking care of his grandpa Gyatso(his mother died giving birth, and his father left him/wasn't there), and having his big shaggy dog Appa, and his cat Momo, along with a 16-year-old troublemaking, goth-punk(like black lipstick, eye shadow, and punk attire), teasing, but all-around good-hearted rich young woman that is alone in her mansion, as her parents work all the time, and only has the company of her butler Iroh, who makes good tea! :) She's also blind in the left eye(you can make up any story as to why that is). :O They meet one day when Toph decides to sneak into public school after getting tired of her private charter school(and all the pervy rich guys that all want to get near her for her looks and money) by using Iroh as her grandfather to get her in. Toph and Aang soon meet after a bit of a scuffle with the school flirt, Jet, trying to forcefully woo Toph, and Aang telling him to back off. Aang finds Toph interesting, maybe because of her aesthetic, while Toph thinks Aang is a little too optimistic. They become friends after Aang tells her what his favorite band is, which is her favorite band as well(I'll say it's The Rolling Stones. LOL, I don't know, something with elements in it. XD). With them being friends, Aang brings Toph to his table, that being Teo, Bumi, Kuzon, and On Ji. Maybe On Ji would have a crush on Aang, but Aang is too oblivious, and maybe On Ji would slowly get jealous of Toph. XD

Just some fun high-school AU shenaningans. I think this could be a good story to do! Maybe even have Katara as a senior and Sokka and Zuko as dorm buddies or something. You can make up anything from there! :D I just got a lot of stories to do, and I wish I could do this, but maybe you can? :O

Speaking of stories, would you like to read mine? :) They're mostly crossovers, but I've got some one-shot stories of Taang if you like to read some of them. :)

Hope you have a good day! 8D

Hi @omegansamurai ! :D

Wow, this is a very intriguing story idea! Sadly I'm not sure if I'd have the time to write it nor execute it well. It's definitely something I would be interested in and read myself. I'm flattered that you suggested your story idea to me. <3 Since it's your idea, I think you'd be the best person to write it with the vision you had in mind.

I have been eyeing you one piece crossover and your Taang one shots, just haven't had the time to read it yet (I'm really excited to get to them). I hope to get to them soon.

anyways, here's a sneak peak:

The sea breeze drew the leaves eastward and ruffled the loose strands of his hair. Most nights the songs from buzzing critters and low tunes of nocturnal creatures drew loud, but not this time. All things grew quieter with the waves stirring the sand between his toes. Sokka had tried to clear his mind once again, but that same weight in his chest clouded his vision. He could tell when Katara kept gazing at him with that annoying look, reading him.  Full and bright, the moon stared back at him with a bit of comfort. He tossed another rock that had sidled up next to him from the waves, watching the painted blue ripples bounce with shimmering light. Sokka tried to close his eyes and let the crashing tide drown his piling thoughts.  “Is this seat taken?”

Thank you so much! <3

I know what you mean about that plot bunny! I myself try to jot it down and hope the motivation is still there once I finish my other projects. I'm curious about your Taang fic!

My current Taang fic "flying boar's rebirth" is an AU of events after the war and one that is going to divert from alot of the events that happened after atla with my own theories and ideas.

I have a cirucs AU (tag) where Toph is a runaway trying to hide from her parents and decides to join the circus only to catch the eye of Aang, whose the trapez artist and main attraction of the show. Him and Ty Lee run the circus together (but it's owned by Ty Lee).

I think there is a what-if in the back of my mind brewing where Toph and Aang meet on Kiyoshi Island. Aang's iceberg melted and he's washed ashore only to be rescued by Suki who takes him in. Not sure if it'll ever leave my mind, but for now I just revisit it when I'm bored.

Craziest AU I have in the back of my mind is Toph becoming a bounty hunter after getting cut off and kicked out by her parents. She's then paid to find Aang from a sargent working for the Earth Kingdom since he's wanted by King Kuei. Aang tries to earn her friendship and understand her while begging her to become his earthbending master.

I have a what-ifs on the Kummi/Taang Theory where Aang and Toph eventually deal with Koh and his thirst for revenge which leads to an adventure into the spirit world and their past lives.

My brain is just always spitting out these things like a fountain.

I’m trying to figure out if people want a blog for Taang week 2026. Please answer the small survey if you’re interested.
