Every time I read the “Toph is a bad example of a disabled character because of her bending.” I want to Physically leap over a table and then flip that table because NO!!!! You do not understand!!!
Toph’s bending is assistive technology!!! It’s a medical aid!!!!!
Toph’s bending allows her to full access her world the same way my mobility aids do, or my medication does. There are times when due to inaccessible surroundings that her aids are rendered harder or impossible to use. Not unlike my own greatest enemy, stairs. However, when she is fully accommodated she’s able to be just as successful and thrive just as much as an able-bodied person albeit differently. Which is the ultimate goal of assistive technology.
Toph’s parents also tried to limit her bending because they saw her as dependent upon them, which is a great example of how society denies disabled people access to assistive technology.
clotheswap edition for the only children of the group.. bcs apparently only children like to have fun too :’(
“The Earth Kingdom is one of the world’s four nations. Spanning an entire continent as well as several subsidiary islands, it is the largest and most populated sovereignty in the world and encompasses much of the eastern hemisphere.”
Toph Beifong (北方拓芙) - Avatar the Last Airbender S2 - Episode 6
tired: katara’s painted lady and zuko’s blue spirit are parallels because they’re both disguises that involve face coverings
wired: katara’s painted lady and aang’s kuzon are parallels because they are disguises used to help fire nation citizens in need. ultimately broadening their understanding of the fire nation, the affects of war, and what is important in order to heal the world. accordingly, zuko’s blue spirit and toph’s blind bandit are parallels because they are disguises used by the children of nobility to escape the watchful eyes of their caretakers and anonymously accomplish things for themselves.
How Toph really should have made her entrance
art buddies are sO IMPORTANT
more of the modern university au ❤️
ok wait so once toph invents metalbending do you think she ever pranks sokka by bending his boomerang just enough so it’s slightly off but not noticeable enough for sokka to tell?? so then when sokka throws his boomerang it doesn’t go where he expected it to and it makes him really confused??? he can’t figure out what happened to his aim and toph is just laughing her ass off in the background ?
or like, Sokka throws it, but Toph bends it mid air and the whole trajectory changes. or maybe she just completely changes the course and Sokka’s just there like, “what.”
I am the greatest earthbender in the world! And don’t you dunderheads ever forget it!
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER (2005 - 2008)
I think that we can all agree that Aang and Toph earthbending
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
