I'm on "wait and see" mode. I'm a big taang fan, and I love this theory and the whole story with avatar Kuruk so I really hope it's true. ^_^

I was just thinking about Toph and her connection to "Earthly Attachments." (empasis on earth, there.) It was said before that Aang automatically assumed that it was Katara who was the attachment, but maybe Pathik really meant Toph/Ummi, and that Aang/Kuruk need to let her go. We already know Pathik is extremely spritually connected, maybe he was talking to Kuruk? Kuruk's spirit within Aang could see Ummi within Toph, and that is keeping him Earthily Attached, along with his obsession with Katara.

A picture by xcgirl08 concerning this theory (which I thought was absolutely BRILLIANT!)

I love the picture. I see a bit of Taang in the future, but right now, I'm unsure of whom Toph likes or loves. She DOES have some sort of thing for Sokka, as demonstrated in "The Serpent's Pass," when she kissed Sokka for saving her, although it was Suki who did. I like to call that an Avatar Lezzy Moment. ^^; Furthermore, your theory, lunauc, is very well thought-out, and I give you much kudos. I do think that the information that Hue said is legitimate, but remember one thing that he said that also plays a major role in Avatar (and in Philosophy, for that matter): "time is an illusion." So...you never know what can happen with time. It's all just a matter of it.

Yes, Toph did show an interest in Sokka, but when people are this young, their chrushes tend to change pretty quickly. She could easily decide that she doesn't like Sokka as much as she though she did, especially if Suki turns out to still be alive, and they reunite. I saw that picture on dA, too. =)

It's not like the creators to create a completely unnecessary twist. There's been too much Kataang for them to switch.

I disagree, airace95. Most of the things classified as shipping in the show are actually just Avatards reading way too much into the situation. We tend to do that. Kataang isn't canon YET, but there is more basis in fact in that ship than, say, Zutara or Taang. The creators want to keep suspense. What better way to do that than totally changing ships at the last second, after some very minor forshadowing?
But we also have to keep in mind the network this is on. If you look at many of the other Nick shows, the lead girl/lead boy are paired up, and have a happy relationship. Maybe Avatar wil be no different?

Please. Avatar is already different than most of those crappy Nick shows that always have a deus ex machina ending, which completely is irrelevant t the plot. With the writing team there and their shows becoming more dramatic than anything we've seen on Nick, we may have some actual "non-happy" stuff in here, as well.

It is leaning in a certain direction with the shipping, I won't hesitate to admit that. However, I do also agree a bit with the idea that all of the main characters are kids, and that maybe first loves aren't always the ones that a boy or girl will end up with in the end. For all I know, they could surprise me and have Katara end up with Haru, while Sokka ends up with Ty Lee. But then again, there are 20 episodes to go. Whatever happens, happens.

^^I would looooove Katara to end up with Haru, but I'm a realist. I think he's lost to us. Won't be back. If I were a shipper that's the one I would support.
But I do like Taang because it started out like a classic romantic comedy. They were fighting at the dinner table. When she said "What's your problem" and he came back with "what's YOUR problem?" I immediately said "hmmmmm." That's very typical of the romantic comedy genre.
But they've gotten away from things like that and although it looks very Kataang at the moment, I think things could definitely change.

Yeah, I do agree that Avatar is a lot different than all the other Nick shows. The only reason I even watch Nick is for Avatar.
They brought back Teo, though, so maybe Haru will have a small role in the final battle? It would be kind of cool to have everyone they've ever met come and fight with them. =)
Kataang does seem very likely to happen, especially with what we've seen so far (that little commercial, the "leaked" screenshots, and, of course, the trailer at comicon). But we have to remember the kinds of things that they have put in before (how many of you actually expected Zuko to go with Azula...?), so it's quite possible that all of the stuff that we've seen is a red herring, and Aang is going to end up with, like, the Cabbage Man.

Excellent theory! However, I don't think that Toph was the love stolen by Koh. I do feel that she will die, though. You've certainly put a lot of thought into that theory. I always thought she would die because she was seen in the swamp. Katara and Sokka saw people they've lost in the past, so maybe Aang saw someone he will lose in the future.

Katara and Sokka also saw people they loved in the past, so maybe Aang saw someone he will love in the future? The "time is an illusion," that's the confusing part. Either it means Aang loved her reincarnate in a past life, and lost her then, or will love her in the future, and lose her?

Either it means Aang loved her reincarnate in a past life, and lost her then, or will love her in the future, and lose her? How about loved and lost her in the past? After all, that's what the swamp shows right? Toph doesn't necessarily have to be killed off to be lost to Aang and not necessarily during this time. I think it was confirmed that Avatars have several centuries' worth of lifespan, in that case Aang would outlive her.
