To the mun: Do you have any personal headcannons about the nature of Kanto or what happened to him? Or is this a realm you think is irrelevant? :)
// I think that, within the narrative of Lin's story, it's irrelevant. She never had a father, and she turned out just as badass without one. She obviously hated not having a father, but I think she had some pretty strong father figures in Sokka and especially Aang.
That doesn't mean that I don't have headcanons. I honestly think that he doesn't know about Lin, that he and Toph broke it off before she knew she was pregnant, and she never saw the need or the desire to tell him. Whatever happened between them, it broke her heart enough that she wanted nothing to do with him. And, of course, he thought that she could raise a baby on her own.
I think if Kanto knew, he would have reached out to Lin. He might have found out Toph had kids, but didn't know how to ask if either of them were his. Or, he cut off all contact after they broke up.
Basically, I think Toph and Kanto's story was more dramatic than she ever talks about. I kind of want to write about it. I might, soon.
