XD Kudos for getting an entry in! ::karma:: I actually felt bad for Da Di at the end...and laughed at Aang's stuttering. XD I'll have to see if I have that art on fave 'cause that's a kick butt design. And the Internet's back at my house! >D I might get a chunk out of the videos (a friend wants me to make her one as well, guess she doesn't mind slideshows) done over the next two days now.

Karma for the entry K9. You've created a well fleshed out expanded universe for Avatar. taiyo *on limited hiatus*: I'd love to see your finished vids. I don't think I'll be able to churn out anything for Taang week. I haven't updated World Tour in over a month let alone 5-7 one shots.

Karma for ya, K9! I loved Toph being taken over by Ummi. That was just spiritually awesome. ^_^ @marvel: Aww. ^_^= Well, I finished. ^_^ Thank goodness for a short cut I finally caught on to or my eyes would've been sore making two vids in less than 24 hours. XD Taang My Heart Will Go On. And my friend requested I make a Toph vid to Pretty Green Eyes. It doesn't really have much Taang. I just tried to make it where Toph accepts the Gaang as her family. ^_^;;;

The following is a possible ending to World Tour but was scrapped due to the main story being light hearted and comedic and this ending's just...not.
Basically it boils down to Aang and Koh having a knock down drag out brawl in the spirit world which spills over to the mortal world where Aang really starts to hurt the centipede now that both are semi-mortal. Problem is, they can't kill each other. Aang can technically die but the Avatar spirit can't. Koh exists because humanity does (My reasoning that he's made up off all the evil in humans rather than him being the source.)
The fight would have been very violent as Aang has switched off all his safety locks and for the first time in his life, he knows what it feels like to truly hate something or someone. Koh would spend the fight taunting Aang, secure in the fact that as long as humans exist so will he. It's a stalemate until Aang decides to sacrifice himself under the notion that if he can't destroy Koh, he'll seal the bug away for good.
---------------------------------------------------
The shimmering disc of ether pulsed and fluxed in Aang's hands as the Avatar tried to focus on a clear picture. His emotions were in turmoil causing the scrying disc behave erratically. The Face Stealer's hacking taunts did not help matters any.
"You do realise you can easily return to them...to her. Your mortal shell still lives."
Aang screwed his eyes shut tight, turning away from his nemesis' being,
"Shut up." He snapped, quite relieved that in his moment of quick, focused anger the scrying disc managed to clarify. He had expected the scenario being relayed back to him but he could never really prepare himself for it.
Aang watched with a heavy heart as Toph sobbed into Katara's chest. Part of him cursed at himself for acting recklessly, for causing Toph so much grief with his actions. The other half planted itself down firmly, stating that it had to be done.
Every fibre of Aang's being cried out in sorrow at the sight before him. But that moral part of him was right. It had to be done. Koh had become to large a threat. Not just to him but to the world.
His choices were limited. Either seal Koh away by sacrificing himself or stay with Toph and live under Koh's constant shadow. Neither outcome was appealing in the slightest.
He was the Avatar. He had to make the choices others couldn't or wouldn't make. Aang gave a sad broken laugh. Not too long ago, he was one of those people who wouldn't have made the choice. Not too long ao, he was one of those people who cared for nothing beyond their self enclosed bubbles of what they assumed was the perfect life.
But he was the Avatar. He couldn't run from that. Would have been like trying to run from his own shadow. He'd made such a choice a few times before. Toph's first rescue from Koh's clutches. The decision to let Ozai die and now...the decision to serve as Koh's jailor. To keep the Face Stealer locked away, never to prey on the innocent again.
"You really are selfish." Sneered Koh, "Stringing her along only to crush her hopes of starting a new life with you."
Silver drops made their way slowly down Aang's ethereal cheeks as he watched Katara sooth and console the distraught Earthbender. Toph's extended 'family' were also present. Her two 'big brothers' and another 'big sister', trying their best to heal their 'little sister's' broken heart.
"See? See the pain you've caused?"
The scrying disc shattered into a million sparkling fragments, killing the image along with Aang's patience. As quickly as the disc's fragments faded away, Aang spun around, a spectral blade made from the spiritual energies of the Avatar already formed in his hands.
To his credit Koh managed to crack a smile as the Air Avatar shoved the blade into his mid section, crucifying him to his own dead withered tree. A pin to hold down a dead insect...just like the other hundred others that impaled his worm like form. A body wreathed in chains and shackled to his own lair.
Aang twisted the blade and jammed it in deeper. Green ichor sprayed, staining Aang's face. Despite the wounds and the bleeding cracks lining his mask, the Face Stealer managed to grin...albeit with a lot of effort and pain.
"What a pair we make." He smirked. Aang growled and readied another blade. Koh's only working eye widened as did his gleeful wide smile,
"The jailor and his prisoner."
He winced as the new blade pierced his side noting that Aang had another all ready to go in his hand. He would have the last words of the day. Just a little something for the Avatar to mull over for the rest of eternity. he managed to choke the words out just before the next blade split his mask,
"The jailor and his prisoner. But which are you, dear Avatar?"
---------------------------------------------
Like I said. Doesn't fit the comedy of World Tour.

.............. Oh wow. Marvel, when you get dark, you get Dark. And you're right. It doesn't fit the nature of the story. 'Sides, we want Taang. Although, it would make an interesting Apocrypha piece, a little extra thing to post after the end as a What If... chapter. OOH! And Taiyo! Good job on the Taang My Heart Will Go On vid! The images didn't really feel like they fit, or lasted to long in the beginning, but the ending was awesome. ^_^

that was made out of pure awesome. I didn't read the rest of world tour (I'm assuming this is the last chapter of world tour and world tour isn't a bunch of stand alones) but I loved that.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff. You've been a busy bee haven't you? Anyway, another tale for our private library: Midsummer Madness. It's mostly Zutara, with a dash of Azulaang near-rape-it's rated M-but Taang is developing, with Toph as the Shining Knight. As the author said, Toph has "just the right amount of Butch." Also for our Home Theater, we have a trailer for Sweeney Tar, though I think the director should've made it more obvious that Katara was "Aang's" wife. And I haven't seen Sweeney Todd, but I wanna, so no spoilers please.

That was an awesome Sweeney Todd/Avatar vid. ^_^ I think I'd have to agree about the Katara part. Toph as Mrs. Lovett..awesome! I guess The Duke would play the kid. <33 You haven't seen Sweeney Todd? *fangirl gasp* K9, you need to see it ASAP! It's amazing, simply amazing. A little bloody but amazing. Oh and I'm late but thanks about the Taang vid. Marvel...*whistle*, that was great. My heart ached for Toph. Dark is interesting but like you and K9 said, it doesn't match World Tour's aura. *karmas Airblazer* I didn't know the Taang can said all that! <33 "Good source of canon" <---that's made of win. ^_^

Wow that was.....one intense oneshot.... I liked it. Anyways, since you guys are obviously all taang shippers, I wanted to know your reasons for shipping taang, since I am making a manifesto. It's always good to know the fandom's opinion.
