Not that much. Recently there's a discussion on what's so special about our shipping.
EDIT: Are you feeling OK now?

Well, for discussion sake. I find that Taang's relationship, and/or shipping. (For the sake of more likely words) is very different from the normal cannon shippings I have spotted around the series. Like, Kataang, Sukka, Yuokka, etc. etc. Zutara and Taang are lovely 'Opposites Attract' shippings that I really adore. You may not have to actually see the proof, but you know it's there. Waiting, and wanting to have it's air time on the series.
I clearly remember the first time that Toph had the screen time on the show, near the ending of 'The Blind Bandit', when she spoke about her being twelve years old, and never having a real friend; the first thing that ran through my mind, and out of my mouth was 'Oh great, here comes another girl for push Katara out of the way...' which, if I may add, was before, when I really like Kataang a lot. But, like a lot of different shows I have watched...I loved the cannon shippings (Robstar, Kataang, etc.). But that was back then. After a while...truthfully, I honestly don't know what clicked, but something clicked a few episodes later...and I began seeing Taang for what it was...and I began loving it so dearly.
It's something that I can dream about happening on the show. And something that I want to. And for the heck of it, the shipping is indeed downright cute. There is so much cemetery between Aang and Toph, that it's makes perfect sense. No matter how cannon Kataang is.

Nice. Yeah, they have a little bond going on even if they don't rely on it that much. I think it's cute that Aang is the only one with the constant nickname cuz to me that means he has a special place in her heart. Platonically speaking, sadly.

Hmmm Hm. That is some cute proof right there. It is really cute that, that is the only nickname that Toph consenitally sticks with. Twinkletoes. Even when she was teaching Aang in Bitter Work, she could have changed it to fit his little personallity during his hard times...but she didn't. It has been Twinkletoes from the start, and heck, it may be that to the end. Shall make me happy either way.
Acutally, I'm looking forward to how Toph acts around Aang in the next few episodes...like I spoke of before. She too, looked worried about him. For all we know she may feel his heartbeat and breathing with her feet when they land on ground, and just smile. Being glad that he's alive and well.

*nods* My mom and I were talking about that. She predicted everyone will be more cautious on Aang, even Toph. I'm working on a fanfiction for that. I might post it. Might not. It depends on how it turns out since I don't do fanfiction that often.
EDIT: Crap. I gotta go. Good night. ;D

Sweet! I say do the fan fiction. I would really like to read it sometimes!
I have no idea really, but knowing Toph, I could see some sort of scene pop up later on, and go something like this...
Toph: *pushing Aang* Stand still Twinkletoes! Aang: What? Why? Toph: I'm feeling your heartbeat and breathing. Aang:....Why? I'm fine. Really. You don't have to worry Toph. Toph: What?! I'm not worried about you! I just want to make sure you don't suddenly die on us! Agh! That's it!
...Oh yeah. Like that would happen! Aha! Oh please.
Edit: Oh! Okay, good night Taiyo! Sleep well hon! :D

^I did. Thanks. And I can SO see that scene happening. Toph doesn't really show her affectionate side that much but you know it's there. *coughTheEarthKingcough*

^*nods* Fanfiction is the reason fanon rocks as hard as canon. We can let our imagination go wild.

Agh. Of course we know that's true. Kataang is so cannon. But I agree. There is always Fan Fiction, and there's where Taang really shines.
I just finished watching 'The Desert' a few moments ago. And I noticed a few little moments between Aang and Toph that I didn't notice before. Goodness I love my TV. It's so bright, that I CAN notice more stuff.
