underrated atla friendship -> Toph and Aang

“Way to go dancy pants. I think you really did help those kids. You taught them how to be free” (Just because Aang doesn’t have red dots around his cheeks doesn’t mean he wasn’t flattered by Toph praising him)

That are masters of opposite elements. 

Belonging to different backgrounds.

Can somehow

Be the same in so many ways.

“Two people of similar nature can never get along, it takes two opposites to harmonize.”

Air is the element of freedom. The Air nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom.

Aang : Why stay here where you’re not happy? Toph : Where else am I supposed to go? Aang : You could come with us.

I think that this scene has more importance and depth than the credit it is given for. Aang is definitely the first person to know Toph’s ability. He’s the first person that she tells about her parents to. He was the first person she ever opened up to. Which is totally opposite to Toph’s character. He’s the first person that she ever trusted. He’s the first person to know her story. He was the first person to see her vulnerable. She just met him that day. Yet she told him her secrets and about her life which I’m sure she never told anyone before. This goes to show how much of a strong bond they had. Toph trusted him the day she met him. Aang knew that he had to help free Toph because she wasn’t happy.                      

He was her first friend.

And everyone’s personal favourite “Twinkle toes”.

And Aang just always seemed to go along with it. Like she was the only one giving him a consistent nickname.

I like how the creators made something that was only Toph and Aang’s. No one else’s. They just made them friendship goals. And the fact that she still called him by his nickname is just so pure.

From arguing to making each other understand one another but still butting heads like best friends do. To having a subtle promise that their friendship will last a lifetime.
