No need to wait, let us get a discussion going.
To spur you guys a bit, what kind of hindrances are there besides Aang liking Katara[/i], that may prevent Toph and Aang from having a possible relationship? Give good thoughts please.

The fact that Aang never apologizes to Toph, and that he always blames her for everthing puts a small wall between Toph and Aang. And that Toph seems to have a crush on Sokka . . .

Give good thoughts please.[/quote] Thanks Power, you've been really helpful around here lately. It's nice to see someone who can put aside time for someone else's ship. *karma*(and I don't give those out lightly... mostly because I just found out how to use them.) Anyway.... besides their respective crushes pointing them in two different directions, they still have their own problems between them. The "wall" as was said is the unfortunately silent comfort they've fallen into with one another. As far as we know Aang never did apologize after the Desert, and Toph has barely talken to him since. After all this time, it doesn't seem like either one of them wants to bring up the troubles they had, but they are stuck working together. The gang is Toph's ticket away from her oppressive home life, and Aang still needs her as an earthbending teacher. So, it seems like they've fallen into a quiet truce, staying near for the sake of their friends, but never getting too close for fear of bringing up harsh words. Aang might see her as someone who brings out the worst in him, with the way he exploded at her, someone who can get under his skin without effort and rile something up. Maybe it's a feeling he's not used to and doesn't know how to respond to it. And as confrontational as Toph is, I doubt she wants to fight with the first person who acknowledge her ability and who she followed from her home trusting. So, basically they keep eachother at arm's length; close.. but not too close. That's the first thing they have to get over, even before Katara.

Their opposite personalities I believe are going to take some time to work out and get straightened, Toph holds on to her brash attitude, while Aang still holds to his pacifist nature, although it may appear that they have rubbed off on each other slightly. I dont know if they would be willing to make some sort of compromise.

So all hands in favor that He was a skater boy should be a theme song for Taang raise your hands Sorry guys but 'Green Eyes' by Coldplay is the Taang song of the season! It explains their ups and downs to a drop!

Give good thoughts please.[/quote] Sokka Apart from Sokka, Aang's responsibilities as the Avatar could further hinder the relationship Toph and Aang have built so far. He has to learn how to place the worlds well being before any romantic interest. It's very hard if not impossible to balance them both and keep them both contempt and happy[the heroes curse].

Their core similarities of background and response would make their superficial actions a moot point. As long as they're friends they'll overlook some small differences.

I dont know if they would be willing to make some sort of compromise. I believe that's slowly being dealt with if it hasn't been dealt with already. They've come to a mutual understanding that there different beings, however, even in their differences, Toph and Aang are very similar deep down inside- there differences are only superficial. We've seen them argue yet we've also seen them get along to the point where they are able to share the same floor. Although they may have started on a bumpy road which was followed by an even more bumpier one, things can only go up from here on(like a mountain!).

It explains their ups and downs to a drop! I listened to that song, but I don't like it. It's just not catchy enough for me. I really like "The Rock Show" by Blink-182. Basically it's about a guy who falls for a rebel girl.

The Rock Show is a pretty good song, but I think "Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" by Panic at the Disco, is a better song. I thought about this song when i was reading chapter 7 of Whisper in the Sky.
