So is now a good time to share the funniest thought I’ve ever had regarding Toph’s perspective?
Okay so like, prior to The Desert, Toph has been all bullshit and shenanigans regarding Aang. She openly bullies him in Bitter Work, she refuses to do anything to help the collective, and I’ve come to realize, that until The Desert, she just thinks Aang is a shy, dancy kid who doesn’t understand shit about how to face problems head on.
And then. I know she can’t see the glowing eyes, but she can HEAR him demand, “TELL ME WHERE APPA IS,” in the voice of EVERY avatar. She can feel him tossing around sand-boats like they’re toys. She can hear Sokka scream, “just get out of here- run!!” as he grabs her hand and hauls ass away from the frilly soft boy she felt totally confident pushing around.
Toph, pre-The Desert: lol I only let Twinkletoes get away with his whining because I like him
Toph, post-The Desert: ohhhh CRAP Twinkletoes only lets me get away with my whining because he likes me.
