we KNOW Aang is dead, but that’s it. someone tell me that i missed something and toph and sokka are actually dead. and i’m not taking the statues of Toph as proof. they could have put those up when she retired. she’s a pretty important person in the earth/metalbending world afterall. she’s pretty important in my world…

so Toph sees through vibrations right? all i can think of is how she visualizes Sokka’s dick when she’s riding that water tribe cock all the way to pound town. yeah, i said it. also she could probably see Lin’s birth from the inside out. weiiiiiird.

I don’t think she’s dead. If Katara is alive and Toph is like 3 years younger… yeah. She’s totally alive. I bet she just lives somewhere far from Republic City. Maybe she went back to her home kingdom when she retired because she’s still royalty. With Sokka WEEEEEEEE!

i loooooove them.

Here’s what I think.

Toph is not the super romantic, lovey dovey type, but her feelings for Sokka never went away.

1) I think at some point Toph and Sokka got together. It was steamy. It was hot. There was no lamb skin condom. She got pregnant, but for some reason, whether it be her family roots or her position in Republic City as HMBBIC (that’s Head MetalBending Bitch In Charge), or the shame of such a moment of weakness, she pushed Sokka away.

2) Or they had an on-going secret affair, that on Toph’s insistence they didn’t acknowledge publicly. Sokka would never ask her to keep that secret.

Lin was born and although those close to them knew Sokka was the father, Toph insisted on raiser her on her own. Toph raised Lin to tough and independent. As that toughness and independence grew, Toph was able to see the love and warmth Katara and Aang showed their children. She has no reason to dislike Tenzin, Bumi and Kya, but she can’t help but she a little jealous that they had such a full happy family.

When she is first face to face with Tenzin in episode 1, they have a very interesting exchange. It’s familial. It’s not about strangers or even acquaintences. My first thought was, “They’re cousins.” This was before I saw that the family tree showed that Lin’s father was unidentified and this was WAY before I shipped Tokka, which only happened a few hours ago.

EDIT: Apparently I’m not the only one.

I think now Lin’s still a little bitter that she didn’t get to know Sokka as a father and she doesn’t think that Korra who seems to be leaving a trail of destruction in her wake, should be able to come to Republic City to serve justice that Lin with eventually have to clean up after. I think of course they will be allies eventually, but Korra will learn that they are nearly family.

why you ask?

1) this is a very Sokka face. I’m sorry. Lin is a high ranking authority figure and she throws this “whateva bitch” face? So Sokka. :)

2) speaking of faces. im not posting a million pictures, but just go with me here. If you look at the family tree, Tenzin and Lin have nearly identical face structure, which mirrors Katara’s. (Note that Toph and Bolin as Earthbenders have a similar face structure.) I’ll also go with the water tribe hair part people have been pointing out.

Anywho. Sokka is Toph’s daddy and I’m sure we will find out the whole crazy story.

P.S. I think Lin got those scars trying to prove some metalbending trick to her mother.

I don’t see why Toph isn’t alive somewhere too. And I’m sure we’ll find out who Lin Beifong’s father is. WE BETTER!
