Bumi as earth king would be the most chaotic thing the world has ever seen. I propose: Bumi as earth king, but with toph/iroh as his advisors so he doesn't just do Bumi stuff all the time, like making the main staple food of ba sing se rock candy, or building mail chutes all across the city just so he can fly around them like he was 12 again. -⛰️
Okay Bumi definitely becomes Earth King after the war it’s canon you can’t change my mind but the world isn’t ready for it yet
A normal day in Ba Sing Se:
Earth Kingdom legislator: but your majesty, we already have a fully functioning mailing system in Ba Sing Se
Bumi: “fully functioning” are not the words I would use, try “extremely boring”
Sokka, after several politicians begged him to talk some sense into the King: have you considered getting an advisor maybe? I know some peop-
Bumi: Great idea, that’s exactly what this country needs! The two best earthbenders in the world
Sokka, in horror: Oh no
And that’s how Toph becomes the official advisor of the King. They regularly have tea at the Jasmine Dragon and hang out with Iroh, who is highly influential in their decision making
