yesterday I was explaining the intricacies of lok to my friend who has only seen atla, and he (like the rest of us) just couldn’t get over the fact that they made toph a cop. he was trying to figure out what about toph’s personality (you know, considering that it’s entirely antithetical to becoming someone who acts as an agent of the state to enforce systemic violence) would lead the writers to this conclusion. and it occurred to me that I do think many people, even those who vehemently denounce toph’s copness, do sort of assume that toph loves violence for the sake of violence. she is introduced as saying “I love fighting, and im really really good at it,” and she is shown committing various acts of violence against others (including her friends) with a grin on her face. but I still wouldn’t characterize toph as someone who employs violence for violence’s sake.

toph is, externally, defined by her limits. she is small, she is blind, she is young, she is a girl; she was raised to be soft and delicate and helpless. toph’s first true expression of freedom is when she learns to use her disability as a boon and uses her earthbending not as a weapon, but as an extension of herself. to toph, earthbending is a form of self-expression. it is an artform. I think people tend to forget that when toph says that she loves fighting, she’s not just saying that she loves the thrill of beating arrogant, gigantic, muscled men thrice her size (although of course there is also that), but she’s also saying that she loves practicing a martial art for artistry’s sake.

unlike the boulder, who only listens to his big muscles, toph waits, listens, innovates, creates, hones her craft. and while her earthbending is indeed a martial art, it is also a site of innovation, a visual art, and most importantly, a disability aid. the earth is an extension of herself; it is her artistic medium. yes, of course toph does love being able to exert power over others as a ragefilled tiny twelve year old blind girl who has been denied agency her entire life, but power is not her primary motivation when honing her earthbending. she cares about craft, about innovation, about being one with the earth. unlike all the other earth rumblers and dai li agents and earth kingdom soldiers, toph is a deliberate, thoughtful, considerate earthbender. fighting is an art, and toph is an artist.

yan childe is 100% the type to legally marry you without your knowledge. how he pulled it off, you couldn’t begin to guess, but he found a way. you’re left to uncover this little surprise when filling out paperwork for taxes. you’re certain that they gave you the wrong forms, because you’re unmarried.

or so you think.

when confronting childe about this seismic revelation, he just goes, “ohh, did i forget to tell you about that? haha, my bad, my bad.”

on the bright side, whenever he’s seriously pushing your patience, you can retaliate by upping his life insurance.

I... suppose you mean that as a compliment, Q... or maybe it's my limited mind... but... to become part of you? I don't even like you!

my most controversial opinion about the batfam really is that fact that i don't think cass and jason get along.

why would cass, the one person who believes in no killing even more than bruce, be getting along with jason, the man who believes that killing is necessary to improve things?

i love both of them and i get where they're both coming from, and of course, there's a lot of nuance to the relationship.

jason doesn't have anything against vigilantes who don't kill (just batman, for personal reasons), and cass would definitely want to get to know her brother and probably try to sway him from the path of killing, but they're both paralells to each other in the worst way.

they're both very determined and ruthless in their own ideologies and as much as i would love the older sister cass & younger brother jason dynamic, i really don't think they would get along.

cass would dislike jason for being raised by batman, the man who taught her that not killing was an option, and still choosing to kill.

jason wouldn't hate cass, but he'd definitely dislike her incredibly strong stance against killing and it's doubtful he would try to get to know her all that well anyway.

i'm still gonna enjoy all the fanworks with this duo though, lol.

Byleth: Like a cat, huh...

Edelgard: ... can I help you?
