#t0ph genuinely opening her school for any runaway

[sifutoph]

loose thoughts, but if i had it my way : t0ph would've never stayed as chief of police. maybe she'd founded the r.epublic c.ity p.olice and trained / oversaw the first batch, and maaaybe she'd come back every six months to see if any of them needed extra whipping but ... i think that's about it. additionally, t0ph would've remained as one of the staunch business voices for the industrial age, overseeing her and her father's investment in the refinery and how that business could've grow to aid as many nations as it could. on top of all that ? b.eifong's metalbending academy would've been everywhere. it would've lowkey been a franchise, except we know t0ph never collected money from those kids; it would've seconded as an orphanage, serve to help runaway children like she never got before she met the g.aang. t0ph would've revolutionised or at least gave precedent for the general educational system and/or how the populace view child safety when it comes to displaced children. and if we're adding l.in and s.uyin into this ? oh, t0ph definitely said fuck structure (negative). my girl would for sure be hopping from place to place as it suits her and it wouldn't have given the girls any proper place to settle because they'd be at the b.eifong estate one season, then a metalbending school the next, and then somehow in r.epublic city that summer. and that's my thought on that 😇
