Okay, so I had a thought (and I'm about 300% sure I'm not the first one, but I was too lazy to check, I also don't know if canon has adressed this already):

When Wan Shi Tong was dragging the library into the Sprit World, how was Toph able to hold it?

Because Toph learned from the badgermoles.

Let's back up a little. The Ocean and The Moon are explicitly spirits. Fang, Roku's dragon, is able to traverse the Spirit World (and on the Solstice, even the physical world) freely, even though Roku isn't. Appa is spiritually connected to Aang and able to perceive it (with help) and follow the connection to Ba Sing Se.

I think all of the original benders are either spirits, or animals that crossed over from the Spirit World. And all of the bending styles we've seen have distanced themselves from the original sources of bending - even Airbending, because Aang and the historical benders don't fly freely, like Appa. Firebending is fueled by rage, that's explicitly stated, I don't have anything good for Waterbending so the source is firmly trust me bro, and in Earthbending, Toph's moves are based on a different martial arts style (Zhujia/Chugar family kung fu rather than the Hung Gar style used by other earthbenders*) than the other earthbenders we see - there is explicitly something different about learning from the original source. I also think all of the original benders, when crossing over, used their bending to anchor themselves into the physical world. For dragons, fire was life and the sun, for Tui and La, their eternal dance was their life and power, etc.

That's a long paragraph to say that no other earthbender could have held up the library. Toph learned her bending from the badgermoles, not as a fighting style, but as a way of interacting with the environment - the same way they do. I don't think she's necessarily aware of it, but I think that, because badgermoles are spirits that crossed over a long time ago, as Toph learned, she also unconsciously learned a style of bending that is much more spiritual than human-taught bending.

This also weaves nicely into the show's themes of destiny. Aang was destined to find Toph (he saw her in a vision, after all), and Toph was destined to teach Aang. But not only that, Toph was the only person who could have held up the library. She wasn't just holding up a big rock. She anchored it into our world.

And I think that's beautiful.

*BUT NOT WING CHUN THO THAT INFORMATION WAS LITERALLY ONE GOOGLE SEARCH AWAY ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS WING CHUN I SWEAR I HEARD IT SOMEWHERE AND INCORPORATED IT INTO MY BELIEF SYSTEM FOREVER thank you dear person in the tags i don't know if it's polite to @ you considering it was in the tags but thank you srs

*The gang's thoughts on stabbing* Aang: Would never stab anyone. Katara: Would stab someone in retaliation. Toph: Yells "I won't hesitate, dunderhead!" first.

Sokka: Would stab without warning.

Zuko: Would stab as a warning.

Truth time.

Hating on a show before it even premieres all because of developing changes is very narrow-minded. You've already given up on the actors who have poured their soul into every scene. You've given up on the animators who have given every ounce of their artistic energy to ensure we have an authentic final edit. You're giving up on the choreographers who specialize in martial arts that were beyond excited to consult on a project of this scale.

So yes, some things have been changed. Does that mean it will be terrible? Who knows. But you haven't even given it a chance.

Changes are a part of life. In the world of remakes, I think we've already learned that change is needed to draw attention to a new audience. Personally, I welcome newcomers to the ATLA fandom. They'll have the chance to watch the original series, to watch Legend of Korra, to read the comics, to read our beloved fanfics.

I have Asian and indigenous friends who are incredibly excited to see the live action and support the actors 100% no matter what the final story arc will be. It means so much to them that Netflix took the time to build out a cast in a way that is far more authentic, casting-wise than either the original animated series or movie that shall not be named was. By dismissing the show before the premiere, you're dismissing their work and their own creativity.

So, please. Slow up on the hatred for some of us out here who want to give the show a chance. Will it be a hit? Probably not (it is Netflix). But does it deserve to be judged on the series itself and not assumptions that are already being made? Absolutely.

Seriously, the level of anger and frustration in these posts is depressing and in a world that is plenty depressing on its own, why don’t we all take a step back for a few weeks and just chill.

If you're not happy with the changes, fine. Don't watch it. Just don't try to ruin it for others by influencing their opinion before the show even premieres.

Toph Beifong~ Avatar: The Last Airbender~

Original fanart of Toph Beifong from the series Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you haven't seen it, check it out! The character belong to Michael Dante DiMartino/Bryan Konietzko/Nickelodeon Animation Studio/it's rightful owner.

Taking a small Hazbin break because I didn't finish my drawing in time so I thought I'd share Toph! I drew this a little while ago and recently watched the new live action Avatar series so I thought now was a good time to post it~ I actually really liked the live action and can't wait to see Toph in it 😊
