#toph 'i hate authority figures that don't respect society and i refuse to be forced to do anything by anyone' beifong #toph 'self-proclaimed greatest earthbender to ever live and she was right' beifong #toph 'i snuck out to underground bending matches when i was 12' beifong (and it was implied that she'd been winning for at least a few years #she hates social conventions that don't make sense #she hates when people aren't honest #she loves her friends so much #she doesn't do soft #but that is not the same thing as being an absentee mother of more than one kid??? #like she'd probably be a little too lax on rules and structures but you can bet that if toph decides to have kids #she is going to support them so hard #because her own parents never believed in her #just because she would try to avoid sheltering them doesn't mean she would just walk away #even after her parents let her down she still made the choice to try and go see them #she doesn't want them to leave her alone completely #she just wants them to *see* her (pun not originally intended but probably in character) #anyway #tldr i'm still mad about toph's direction in lok (tags by @mysoulspiralbound)
