#toph is a badass

Toph as a Goalball player 💪💚

it’s always “oh we need more complex female characters!” okay?? y’all couldn’t handle any of the atla women without immediately reducing them to a one note stereotype

[ultfreakme]

I know Zuko is queer because he has exactly one guy friend the same age as him(Sokka) and the rest are badass sapphic women. Mai, Ty Lee, Suki, Katara, then the Kyoshi Warriors ended up being the main security in the Fire Nation palace. Song saw the dude and went ‘time to adopt him this is bestie material’. Like he’s just accidentally drawing on all the women for gay reasons and gay reasons only.

toph didn't have a life changing field trip with zuko because she already had a life changing conversation with iroh

[bluespiritshonour]

Broke: Mai is masculine, Ty Lee is feminine

Woke: Mai is dark feminine and Ty Lee is light feminine

Happy International Women's Day

From the badass women of AtLA

Toph Beifong from Atla nails! Tbh I used some stickers for the writing so I have no idea what it says. I also used stickers for the flower because I didn’t feel like drawing on all the nails haha

The absolute disrespect for Suki is my villain origin story.

[ineffablejaymee]

the truth people are not ready to see yet, is that obiwan cody rex anakin ahsoka = aang katara sokka zuko toph

*i stand corrected, rex = zuko anakin=sokka

[pinejay]

oh also my mom and i are pirating the atla live action show and it's actually not so bad except for the disney channel child star acting and adult acting that is somehow even worse than the children's and katara being stripped of all personality. in one episode there's a fullmetal alchemist symbol on a random mug in the inventor guy's house

[hybrid-angelic]

Toph is the most emotionally intelligent member of the gang and anyone that says otherwise can kiss my left nut.(only the left one tho, ya freaks-)

Why I Love A:TLA part- 1

The characters are awesome

I wanted to remind everyone why we love the characters in Avatar, so that's why I came up with this post. Let it be an appreciation post for our beloved chatacters and remind us why we love them so much. Let's count all the main characters one by one, and note why they're all well-written and interesting characters!

1-) Katara: She's the female main character of the series. She's hardworking, determined and optimistic. She is (arguably) the most powerful waterbender, but her abilities didn't come to her naturally. With a lot of training and hard work, she became the strong waterbender that she is today. Katara is also very kind, polite and compassionate. She has her flaws as a person and as a character, but honestly, it only makes her a more realistic character. But one thing for sure: she's absolutely cool and badass

2-) Toph: As a contrast to feminine Katara, Toph is the absolutely masculine and tomboyish female main character of the series. She comes across as a tough, strong and bold girl. And just like Katara, Toph is also the master of her own element. However, despite her cold and snarky attitude, Toph is far from heartless. She's also a kind person with her own flaws, but at the end, she's ready to do what's right. And of course, she's a total badass

3-) Suki: Despite not being a bender like Katara and Toph, Suki is still a very strong and capable warrior. She can be masculine and always ready to kick some asses like Toph, and also can be feminine and soft like Katara.

4-) Mai: Similar to Suki, Mai is not a bender either. But she's still a deadly fighter. She's capable enough to take down a dozen of firebending guardians on her own. Even though Mai appears to be cold and apathetic, she's still loyal and caring, and her heart is in the right place.

5-) Ty Lee: She's the first person who is known to use chi blocking, and she's a master acrobat too. Unlike Mai, Ty Lee is sweet and nice, but that doesn't make her any less dangerous in fights. She's (arguably) the most capable warrior in hand-to-hand combat.

6-) Azula: Intelligent and calculating, Azula is a perfect villain and the main female antagonist of the series. She's a firebending prodigy and a deadly warrior. And she's just as ruthless as her father, not any less softer just because she's a girl. Azula may be evil, but she's far from being a shallow character. Which is why she's always been a complex character.

7-) Zuko: He may not be a natural prodigy like his sister, but Zuko is still a very strong firebender with a very strong will. He never gives up and always stands up for what he thinks is right. Not all his decisions were good, but he still works hard to improve himself. At the end, Zuko does his best to do the right thing. And in a metaphorical way, his character is (arguably) the most interesting one of the series because it tells you a lot: to always keep trying even though it's hard, life might not what you expect it to be but there's always hope... This is why he is a brilliant character who has the best redemption arc ever

8-) Uncle Iroh: The tea-loving and fatherly uncle that we all love! Iroh is wise, kind, loving... But also an extremely powerful firebender! He indeed had bad actions. But he realized his mistakes and now trying to do anything to bring peace and balance. This man is the brilliant mentor figure that we all admire!

9-) Ozai: Unlike his kind and funny brother, Ozai is the cutthroat and cruel main antagonist of the series, similar to his daughter. He is an evil person, but it doesn't change the fact that he is still one of the most powerful firebenders that ever lived!

10-) Aang: The kind, polite and friendly male protagonist of the series. He might be goofy, but he is far from being stupid. He is smart and strong, and a real badass in fights, especially when he enters the Avatar state! Aang is one of the strongest Avatars who ever lived, but he didn't choose this responsiblity in the first place. However, he accepted it and now ready to do anything to restore the balance

11-) Sokka: He is the brains of the Team Avatar, or The Gaang as he calls it. Sokka is not a bender like his friends, but still a good fighter and he is the one who comes up with plans. He is also a pure comedy material. That's why it's always so fun to watch him!

It is a better message to let people and particularly kids learn that it is ok to ask for help. Toph is a girl boss/badass chick done right. She is flawed and grows as a character. She has weaknesses and learns to ask her friends for help.

Toph is a great well written character.

Yes!

I just started atla book 2. waited a few episodes, saw toph and went HELL YEAH like SHES SO COOL i cant wait to see more pf her bc SHES SO SISTER CODED I CANT and especially in the episode theyre like me after spending all night brainrotting on ig reels, its just a solid 10/10 of a character from what ive seen.

Then the zuko

character development (sort of)

So yeah i guess thats it (plus im no longer sick and back on school ew)
