however any romantic Toko would have to be years later when their age difference is nullified. This is true, but it's also a problem I think that most people don't realize kind of applies to Tokka as well. He is only one year younger than Zuko. But I think that Toph is probably going to end up by herself or with someone other than Sokka or Zuko. Tokka may work well with Kataang, but so does SokkaSuki....if she's still alive....(what is that called again? Sukka? Soki?)

As has been cited in defence of Kataang...true, lasting love develops from a strong friendship, something I don't think Zuko has, or has the potential to build, with any of the girls he's been paired with in the past. Zuko and Toph have a lot in common...moreso than Aang and Katara...it won't take long for them to bond...

^That's what got me interested in the couple in the first place and is probably what is responsible for replacing Zutara as my Avatar OTP. Well, that and Season 3 has made me dislike Katara a good bit. Both Katara and Toph have a lot of things in common with Zuko (in my opinion anyway), but I feel like Toph is more likely to open up and trust Zuko than Katara is at this point. Not that either has any chance of becoming canon, but I would take either or both in a platonic version. Platonic Toko makes me happy though because it might be the only ship I like that has a good chance of becoming canon

Zuko and Toph have a lot in common...moreso than Aang and Katara...it won't take long for them to bond... True, true. And since Toph most likely has nothing against Zuko on a personal level, it shouldn't take too long for her to befriend him. It'll be cute if they become BFFs. Because these days, guys tend to hang out with guys, or at least anyone their own age. But then comes along Zuko, big bad sixteen-year-old. With his best friend in the whole wide world, Toph, the teeny-tiny little twelve-year-old.

I can imagine them facing off against Azula... "You have underestimated me for the last time, Azula! Through my travels and my building of new friendships I have learned... "Can the speech, Sparky. Monologues are for bad guys. Just kick her butt!"

Monologues are for bad guys. Just kick her butt!" Then Toph takes her down in seconds, in a remake of the big fight scene in "The Blind Bandit". "Bwuh, but I wanted to defeat her! The Avatar called dibs on my dad the minute he got out of the iceberg, what am I supposed to do now!?"

Same here. In ATLA, I've shipped Zutara and Taang, and my loves in other fandoms are equally crack. I have a tendency to pair characters together based on personality similarities over how much they have actually interacted. Maybe I just find canon pairings boring because they're so open and obvious to how characters interact. I also don't really usually like ships where one character obviously likes the other from the start. I don't know the exact reason why, and there are exceptions to this rule, but I think it's because I love the idea of characters falling in love with someone they don't expect. Toko falls right into this category, and so does Zutara, but...well, Katara's not on my happy list right now . But it's so nice to find a new ship. I really wasn't expecting to like Toko as much as I do
