How We Quit The Forest
So, on
atla_unspoiled, there was a poster talking about how, typically, Zutara shippers ship Suki/Sokka, and Kataang shippers ship Toph/Sokka. (Which I think is true, based on my totally unscientific experiences). She then suggested that this was because of the shippers looking for 'viability.' (Which doesn't make sense to me.) I think it's more likely the that similarity in character interactions and relationship dynamics is what makes it more likely for a Zutara shipper to like Suki/Sokka, and for a Kataanger to like Toph/Sokka.
(And of course, there all the various permutations of who ships what as a primary ship, and I KNOW that there are people who like Suki/Sokka and Kataang, and Zutara shippers who like Toph/Sokka, to name just two.)
Your thoughts?

In addition, I feel that Toph's homosexuality is part of what makes my writing of Toph and Zuko's relationship so easy and fun for me.

Plus, I loved her girlfriend.

I can't recall where, but I once saw someone comment that they 'ship Toph/Teo "because of the disability thing," or something. My eyes almost fell out. (Please. Toph and Teo defined solely on the basis of their disabilities? What about the fact one of them's the fucking Daredevil and the other can McGuyver an explosive out of peanut sauce?)
