Just thinking about how much I love Katara and Toph’s friendship. I mean, sure Katara kinda reminded Toph about her parents over-control and the stars comment was absolutely brutal, but in the end, I feel like Katara truly saw Toph as her own person. I don’t know about you, but if I was a disabled kid whose parents constantly infantilized her and treated her like a helpless baby, having a friend who’d insult me and argue with me like equals would be kinda cathartic. I think that’s part of the reason why Toph loved Earth Rumble wrestling thing so much. Katara didn’t see Toph as a helpless blind kid, just an unhelpful one. She didn’t give her an out just because she’s blind. She treated her like she’d treat anyone else and I think that’s part of would mean a lot to a disabled person.
