Why I ship Sokka with Toph 💙🫶🏻💚
(I think Yue’s his perfect match and will post about that later, but what’s rough is she turned into the moon.)
Used to be: Toph liked him and I felt bad for her.
Now: One of Sokka’s primary character arcs is growing out of his misogyny. When he travels the world, he sees with his own eyes that his gender roles actually aren’t the natural order of things, and his sister isn't "weird" for not conforming to gender stereotypes.
(A metaphor for how education opens people’s minds and helps them discover their gifts and talents and how they are needed in the world, in his case, engineering.)
Suki was the first girl to open up his mind. However, Sokka never had formal training. He wasn't exactly a soldier. Not to say she wasn't an incredible warrior, but defeating Sokka wasn't exactly an incredible challenge. I think that that episode humbled him in two ways: he realized (1) he didn't know how to fight, and (2) girls can fight, sometimes better than him.
Then comes along Toph.
Sokka's in his element, watching "guys chucking rocks at each other." Katara's uninterested, even though she's a fighter. It's a "guy" thing, guys fighting, guys dominating, it's "guy time."
Then comes along Toph.
She takes out The Boulder without breaking a sweat.
She single-handedly takes out every single earthbender all at once.
She's everything Sokka wanted to be and more.
Then he gets to know her.
When she's forced to be sheltered and act helpless, she fights to make her own way and control her own life.
She values efficiency over feelings (to a fault, but nonetheless, it's contrary to what Sokka would expect from a girl).
Sokka's an engineer, he likes challenges. And Toph is a challenge. She's challenges his schema of gender roles. And she likes challenges, too, and annihilates every single challenge that comes her way: Earth Rumble Six, escaping her cage of a home, figuring out how Azula was tracking them, picking up and leaving when Aang blames her and yells at her, holding up THE ENTIRE LIBRARY when Wan Shi Tong was sinking it, getting them ferry tickets, lie detecting, the Dai Li, metalbending.
(Also, she bickers with Katara, which Sokka very much enjoys).
And the pièce de résistance: she's sarcastic.
Sarcasm is Sokka's love language.
He doesn't make moves on her, and it's something worth speculating about. Maybe he thinks she's too young. Maybe he's so impressed by her that he doesn't know where to begin with her. Maybe he didn't want any kind of romantic dynamic in Team Avatar (understandable when it was just the four of them). Maybe he was scared it'd encourage Aang to flirt with Katara. Maybe he tried, and Toph was abrasive, not understanding what he was doing or not sure how to respond, and so he stopped trying.
And we all know Toph loves Sokka.
She's fierce. She's strong. She's fearless. She's bold. But she's still a very, very sheltered young girl.
Earth Rumble Six knew The Blind Bandit, but no one knew Toph.
Maybe he's the first teenage boy she ever met. His voice is deeper, but not as deep as The Boulder's or her dad's. He's young, but still older and more mature than her.
Every character has a yin-yang balance. Aang is a peacemaker but defends Appa with aggression. Katara wants peace, but will defend her values (and mother) with aggression. Sokka is manly, but loves shopping (and his bag matches his belt).
And Toph is the greatest earthbender in the world, but she’s also a young blind girl. She’s strong and independent, but she likes having someone take care of her when she's out of her element. Literally.
She's completely in love with her role as a damsel in distress.
Iroh opened her up to helping others, seeing their needs and responding to them, and letting herself be helped in return. Needing help doesn’t mean you’re helpless, it means you’re human.
When she was sinking, she had no choice but to cry and beg for help. That was the one situation where she was completely helpless. Her resentment against her parents didn't matter anymore. Even if her parents were there, she would've accepted their help. What branch do we refuse when we are sinking?
There's nothing wrong with needing rescued (we all do at some point), or feeling loved when you are rescued.
Maybe she was jealous of Suki, who brought out a romantic side of Sokka that Toph had never seen before (and liked).
I honestly think Suki told Sokka about the interaction because look at his face here:
Look closely:
Yes, it could be a number of other things, but it definitely does look like the face of a guy who's talking to a girl who he knows likes him.
Also . . .
No words necessary.
Except maybe remember how air and earth are opposite elements? Toph was face to face with the original source of her opposite element. Flying in the air was the exact opposite of her element, so Sokka “grounded” her.
Also, back to Sokka--let's be real, he falls in love with every girl he meets--even his enemies.
No matter how much he hates the Fire Nation, he can't resist a pretty girl.
And we know Toph is pretty inside and out.
I wish the fillers leading up to the invasion in Book 3 focused more on Toph and Sokka (but it didn't because it would have taken away from Azula telling him about Suki in prison-- and that shows Sokka's yin-yang character: he's strategic and logical, but his love for Suki made him impulsive and his emotions took over).
Still, I think his feelings for Toph would be stronger, since he spent more time with her and knew her better. (“You Belong With Me” is their ship song 💕❤️)
She had his respect, but she was also very vulnerable at times, and when she was, he was happy to protect her.
Look at him rushing to shield her.
Look at his face as he’s protecting her.
He wants to protect women, which is a good thing. When he’s immature, he confuses it with the notion that women are weak. In reality, it’s not that women are weak, it’s that men should use their strength to protect others.
With Toph, she’s the strongest, but she can be the weakest in some situations. And that’s when Sokka shines. He loves showing his strength when the greatest earthbender in the world needs help from him.
And she loves when she can be the greatest earthbender in the world, *and* a blind girl who needs help.
It’s not an either-or, it’s a both-and. It’s yin and yang.
Happy birthday Dick Grayson! (21st of March)
“Thailand's situation with the King's eldest daughter in a coma, presumably irreversible, and also the rumors about his son, tells me he'll end up naming Princess Sirivannavari as his heir, considering he disinherited and, it seems, repudiated the rest of his sons. The truth is, she might well deserve to be the heir because she's the one projecting Thailand onto the world stage most effectively.” - Submitted by Anonymous
“Everyone’s like “I want a love story like Nicholas and Alexandra” when Elizabeth II and Philip’s are better. What’s a better love story than seeing your opponents turn into your allies (like Harold Wilson, a socialist-leaning Labour PM), or seeing them lose their careers (like Blair and Corbyn) or outliving them (applies to many of the founding IRA members and the socialist-leaning Labour PMs who aren’t Wilson)?” - Submitted by Anonymous
“As fan of Nicholas II was a bad & unprepared tzar. (Even tho sometimes i think Michael his brother could've been a better tzar 👀) But it doesn't mean he deserved to die in the basement with his family,servants shot by the Bolsheviks. But people NEEDS to chill out cuz a lot of people describe him as if he was evil or something, he wasn't evil likea Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Mao-Zedong or Vladimir Putin. at the end, when the Russian monarchy collapsed the country was on fire the Russian people suffered 10x times more, the most when dictators/soviet union took control they attacked other countries and had no mercy at all. That's why I never liked the Russian revolution, cuz if it was still the monarchy alot of things wouldn't happen in Russia. (Clearly I'm talking about the dictatorship of Putin here) at the end of the day nor him or his kids deserved to die like in brutal way. they could at least them leave Russia but ofc the Bolsheviks didn't liked it.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Kate especially has suffered the brunt of Harry and Meghan's rubbish crusade and didn't even get respite when she had cancer but sure, Harry and Meghan deserve to be forgiven.” - Submitted by Anonymous

A/N: i think about this shit daily and i dont regret it, think i did ok, i aint proof read this shit but it's good nuff
Robert wasn’t the type to be dramatic.
He wasn’t the type to grovel, to beg, or to act like some lovesick idiot just because you gave him attention. He was polite, sarcastic, composed, and professional — even when the Z-Team was actively trying to give him a stroke over the comms.
You’d seen him keep a straight face through building collapses, hero meltdowns, and Sonar’s unmedicated nonsense.
But tonight?
Tonight the man walked into your apartment like he was holding back a storm.
Still in his SDN button-up — sleeves rolled to his elbows, a little grease smudged on his forearm, hair mussed from work — he looked at you like you had personally ended his last shred of self-control.
“You’re home early,” you teased.
“Yeah.”

“What made the interview with Oprah truly unbearable wasn't so much the content but the timing. Not only Prince Philip was on his deathbed, we were in the midst of a pandemic! It was such a tragic time and vulnerable people were affected the most. Playing on people's emotions was so vile in that moment. Before, I had a neutral opinion of Meghan and Harry and sometimes I defended them but after the interview I cannot stand seeing their faces anymore. They're just two squalid opportunists who exploit social issues to their advantage. As a healthcare worker, I truly appreciated the book Kate published. Recognizing the work of people who sacrificed themselves for others instead of wasting time on personal feuds truly made me understand who Kate is.” - Submitted by Anonymous
I had a crush on the Baker from Cinderella (Anastasia’s boyfriend). Growing up I thought he was more attractive and cute than Prince Charming. And I still do, kinda.
