Sokka/Toph

[ivy_chan]

1. When I started shipping them

I pretty much ship onesided Toph/Sokka, so I think I started around where Toph started macking on Suki by mistake.

2. What I think their challenge is

Age gap. That's their challenge and my challenge for accepting this as reciprocated romantic affection. 15 and 12 just isn't on for me. But if they're both older, then probably. Then there's the added challenge of Suki standing in the way.

3. What makes me happy about them

The snark. Gallons and gallons of snark.

4. What makes me sad about them

Sokka probably will never like Toph that way.

5. What moment I wish had never happened

I'm going to replace this with a moment I wish DID happen- why did we get zero resolution with Toph's crush on Sokka? It's like every Toph character thread is left hanging!

6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other

Sokka with Suki, and I can't see Toph with anyone really. Maybe Aang or Smellerbee.

7. My happily ever after for them

I agree that Toph had a lot hanging at the end (also Toph literally hanging with tears in her eyes saying, "You can't kill me like this!). Katara had three episodes specific to her in the last season (The Painted Lady, The Puppetmaster, and the Southern Raiders) as did Sokka (Sokka's Master and Boiling Rock 1 and 2). And Aang of course had more than both of them. Toph? She got "The Runaway" and that was it. Lame.

Happily every after is sort of a non-happy ending, really. I prefer Toph to yearn after him for a while, reach maximum angst potential, and eventually let him go. But if they have a happily ever after, Sokka should run the Earthrumble Championship and Toph can just be the awesome top bender forever.

Just Sokka, Toph... and the Boulder.

Anyways, I agree that Toph had a lot hanging at the end (also Toph literally hanging with tears in her eyes saying, "You can't kill me like this!). Katara had three episodes specific to her in the last season (The Painted Lady, The Puppetmaster, and the Southern Raiders) as did Sokka (Sokka's Master and Boiling Rock 1 and 2). And Aang of course had more than both of them. Toph? She got "The Runaway" and that was it. Lame.
