Favorite Toph headcanons?

something something she was never a cop :)

kanto was her weed guy. one day he just handed her a random baby and bounced. she never heard from him again. she named the baby lin.

su was found in a dumpster (same dumpster as izumi, but at a different time. it’s the ubiquitous Baby Dumpster). she would never believe this even if you told her, so she decided that sokka was her real dad, and that no matter how many times literally every authority on the matter denied this, su would go on believing it anyway.

toph uses her earthbending skillz to help aang rebuild the air temples. since air nomad architecture is very intricately designed and complicated, this proves a fun challenge for toph.

she briefly dated smellerbee, and they had a lot of fun together, but ultimately toph dumped her because smellerbee was mean to sokka, and that’s where toph draws the line

toph first became friends with the duke (which is how she came to meet smellerbee in the first place) when she puked in his helmet on the day of black sun. it was a bonding experience <3

she also became close friends with teo during their stay at the western air temple. they bonded over their shared experiences of marginalization due to their respective disabilities. he really admires her unapologetic confidence. they are bros 4 life

toph enjoys acting as sokka’s lab assistant and helping him with all of his experimence. she likes egging him on to blow stuff up for no reason other than she thinks explosions are funny

pro-bending basically originates as a concept when toph has the brilliant idea to combine the earth rumble tournaments with lei tais for the specific reason that she and katara want an excuse to formally fight each other. it is a biennual event and a Huge Deal. a single match lasts for hours and almost always ends in a draw, because they are perfectly evenly matched and also refuse to actually hurt each other. suki is the referee.

they love counting down to the next tournament like "oh i can't wait to fucking destroy you" "well i can't wait to destroy YOU" and when aang's like "i don't get it.....why can’t they just get along :((" sokka's like "don't you see? this is how they show their love for each other"

it's sokka who first makes the suggestion, but toph teaches zuko to apply seismic sense to fire/heatbending with what is basically thermal detection. it doesn't really work in terms of lie detection, but he is able to sense when someone is sneaking up behind him or hiding in the dark, which proves useful for assassination attempts.

suki played a .... not insignificant part in her lesbian awakening, and though she would never admit this to anyone as long as she lived, sokka fully knows this and finds it amusing & endearing.

toph goes from being azula's freelance therapist to eventually becoming her first real friend. she isn't afraid to call azula out on her shit. they go on all kinds of adventures together. they get high and rant about their moms. and other fun stuff like that :)

toph enjoys making little (& big) statues with metalbending. she goes through a phase of creating a bunch of little spider statues and placing them all around katara's room, as if to remind & punish katara for throwing her pet tarantula out the window. (rip spidey)

every year for sokka's birthday she gives him a statue of herself. sokka realizes that he can sell them as "toph beifong originals" and they would go for a fortune!.......but he doesn't have the heart to. even if it's just a terrible, joke gift, they're still from toph. he keeps every one.

after all, toph keeps her space bracelet from sokka (aka "spacelet") around her arm as long as she lives. it is her most treasured possession.
