Since I never denied any of this I fail to see what this has to do with my point...
Aaaaand those feelings could be loving her like a sister. That doesn't require a blood relation, you know. Which was my point. It doesn't have to be romantic love.
Actually, it's interesting you should mention that since it seemed very clear that Toph went back to fight the other earthbenders to prove something to her father, not necessarily out any grand desire to save Aang. Which, hey, she barely knew him so who can blame her?
Which is exactly my point. If Bumi was Aang's teacher they would just stay in Omashu for a while much like they stayed at the North Pole to be instructed by Pakku and if not for the attack probably would have done for even longer than they did.
Except the whole thing where the magical swamp pretty much gives him another "prediction" which he follows through with making it not the best example of shaping his own destiny.

I would have called it Tang. Does anybody remember that drink? The orange flavored stuff with the commercials that always featured monkies?

I like it not only because it opens a slot for Zutara, but because...I just genuinely do. Toph and Aang seem to mesh together really well, yet have a sort of duality to them: Their mischeviousness makes them "enemies," in a sense, and their passion for bending as well as an unspoken wisdom in them makes the two ... well, two of a kind.

I have something to admit: Before I saw this eppie, I really didn't care about shipping too much. Now I'm a die-hard Tang shipper. Tang forever! Woot!

The moment I saw the episode, I knew people were going to start pairing Aang and Toph. Personally, I didn't see any flirting or romantic interactions going on between them. What I saw was the basis of an extremely powerful life long friendship. (<-- You guys may think I say that because I support Kataang, but even if I didn't, this would still be what I would think)
Their interactions related to that of friendship. My friends and I always tease on each other and we sometimes do rely on each other to help when needed.
Do I hate Toph? No. I honestly loved her character. She was smart, strong, and spunky which added a lot of flare and funny scenes. I loved how she is powerful and a girl because we haven't really seen many girl earthbenders. Not only that, she's blind which takes a unique twist on things because she can't really "see" what others look like.
On another note, I've noticed many people (kataangers it seems) don't like Toph's character because it just ruins their ship. Others try to defend Toph from those that are seemingly bashing on her.
Let me just say that some of my favorite characters also get bashed when they only have 10-25 minutes of air time. *coughs*Song and Haru*/cough* Although at times I defend them, I've pretty much given up at this point because I know people are too stubborn to change their minds. My point is that Song and Haru are hated because they disrupt other ships, and now Toph is one of them. No matter how many excuses someone comes up for Song and Haru, it's still pretty obvious as to why they are hating them.
Erm..... Hm.... sorry for my rant. I'm just a bit annoyed because I really like Toph, Song, and Haru and it gets pretty tiring to read so many threads bashing them.

Definetly. I sometimes don't even go discuss fandoms or characters on the web because I know they are going to be bashed...bashed some more...bashed crispy-fried...XD Someone will probably think I'm exaggerating, but it hurts to see the characters bashed so much- it's not like people even say why besides it disrupts a ship sometimes. Tad unsettling...
I really like Tong. X) She's going to become a great friend to them all. :3

well i dont know if it really counts for kataang forshadow in the swamp. he went after toph, bumped into katara and then they bumped into sokka a seconds later. so.... i hope you dont really take this as a bashing, but to be fair you can bash me back.

Not bashing Zutara shippers but
Kataang forever!!!!!
And, you Tang (I SO remember that stuff, with the monkey or whatever it was) shippers,
Can I ask what you're thinking?
Toph and Aang would probably never happen, well, in my opinion. There's already a canon couple including him (Kataang is technically an established couple), so I doubt this show would make a love triangle. A love triangle would get boring after a while (trust me, my favorite show, Code Lyoko, has a triangle AND a square) and it'd turn people away from the show.

Well love is unpredictable and yeah, I really don't like Love Triangles at all, but I don't think that the whole Kataang this is really "established". Don't get me wrong, sure I'm a Zutarian, but Katara doesn't really seem to have a love interest in Aang. Maybe in the future but not yet so it's not fair to say that it's "going to happen" when it's only a one-way love so far. Oh well, I don't mind if you think differently. These kind of arguments make this forum interesting.

I agree with ConcreteAngel! I don't hate Toph because of this new ship. I hate her because of her persnality. She is rude, unfriendly, sassy, and her " Act without thinking " ways are going to get her killed.
