#toph is a menace

Izumi (steambaby) sketches.

Toph Beifong is like if you let a tiny puppy outside for the first time without a lead. She’s going to dig a couple of holes, find the biggest dog she can see and try to fight it and then return with some stolen property.

[xxxcertifiednerdxxx]

Headcanon that after the gaang saw the ember island play, Toph kept trying to actually release a sonic wave from her mouth which was really annoying to everyone else (this is a bonus for her)

[bisexuallsokka]

Zuko exchanges a look with his uncle, whose smile is so bright, Zuko swears it heats the shop up by five degrees. Zuko has a feeling that Iroh is trying to overload the optimism before Zuko has the chance to say anything and ruin it, but he is already too tired to attempt to complain about the heat.

or: the air conditioning stops working at the Jasmine Dragon, and it's miserable until a cute stranger makes it a bit more bearable

[finalsquidmissile]

Toph: OOOOOH TODAY IS THE DAY

Zeth stashed his braincells back at the hideout. Y'know for safekeeping

[witchering10123]

What are five of your most favorite scenes you've ever written in your fics?

ooooh ok ok ok (please bear in mind that half of these haven't been posted because I apparently have cannot finish a wip for the life of me)

in no particular order:

1. (the past is a dangerous thing, chapter ten) toph being propositioned to become a police officer and her immediate reaction being "that's oppression"

2. (the world forgot, but I never can, unpublished chapter four) very angsty look into sokka in this modern au and what happened with kya's death. it's very angsty and I'm quite proud of it (I say, not publishing the chapter)

3. (the world forgot, but I never can, chapter two) toph being a menace and talking absolute trash about their school's new SWELL centre (definitely based off the SWELL centre they're building at my school lmao), and then toph fleeing because she absolutely drenched suki and suki is on a rampage

4. (the southern ghost) basically the whole one shot, it's my darling and I love it so so much

5. (foster home au, it's a wip so it's unnamed) on the whole it's a sad modern au foster care fic but the first scene I really like: it's when sokka and katara find out that bato and hakoda have gone missing in action and it's basically the beginning of the end, but I think it wrote it well lmao

thanks for the ask :)

[lilith-91]

Damn

Aang was a real menace when he wanted to be one

His temperament was really the only thing preventing him from being a living weapon 😭

The first gif also showed how advanced he became at earthbending. In bitter work Toph told him that he has to face his obstacles head on and he did excactly that here.

Even the 2nd gif is the same. He would normally have tried to dodge or deflect the rock. After Toph training he just punches it into pebbles.

And let's not talk about the air bending here Omg

As Sokka said "Sometimes I forget what powerful bender that kid is"

[pillowdrawz]

Ninjago Abaddon Au:

Its been a year Also I read a Fanfiction where Cole is a Doctor HELLO THAT IS SUCH A GOOD CONCEPT AND EVERYTHING EJEBEJ.

Context: Cole Is still the leader of the team Lloyd has a kina -ish childhood he and the darkley kids turned into Vigilantes so when he turned 18 he trained to be the green ninja he isn't the leader so he is a menace COLE CAN EARTHBEND BEING A MASTER OF EARTH CHANGE MY MIND LET THEM BE BAMF-

Also cole being a doctor Im going to draw more hehehehe ninjago my beloved.

Yes i was inspired by Toph training Aang cause it fits.

[hadesisqueer]

i dont follow you for rwby but im curious who is nora and why would it be fun to see azula shoot lightning at her??

Good question indeed.

Okay so this is Nora. Nora Valkyrie.

Nora is a character from RWBY, and part of the main cast. She is like 5 feet tall, 18 or 19 years old, cute, playful, happy-go-lucky and often a menace (she'd get along with Toph or Sokka if you understand me), though she's gone through many things and can actually get pretty serious too, and is very loyal and brave. Physically speaking she's strong. Like, really strong. Ridiculously strong. And her weapon as you can see is a huge hammer (its also a grenade launcher but we're leaving guns out of this). She is part of team JNPR. Team JNPR's members are based of legends and myths. Nora is based off Thor (hence the hammer). Her semblance ���a superpower, let's say— is also as a reference to Thor as well. Its name is High Voltage, and it allows her to *checks* absorb electricity into her body and enhancing her strength.

This is an example of Nora using her semblance:

This is Nora at her limit btw, overusing her semblance too much on an energy field, which is why she collapses and gets scars (which look sick on her later tbh). Normally, while being electrocuted can still be painful for her, she can withstand it with relative ease and get moving fast (usually with a smirk). And that includes actual lightning. She actually explained once that she found out what her semblance was because she got struck by lightning one day and she was fine and didn't die.

So, yeah, if Azula, or any other lightningbender, hit her with lightning, Nora would probably fall and feel the pain. Then two seconds later she'd proceed to get up with a smirk because the bender just powered her up.

Toph as a Goalball player 💪💚

[muffinlance]

Tentative writing plans:

Finish Little Zuko (it's so close guys, I have two chapters I haven't posted yet and 2-3 more to write and then that's all she wrote, literally)

Start poking at Cheating At Pai Sho; get at least to the "Season One Toph" part because Season One Toph is a MENACE the likes of which you cannot fully imagine. You think you can but unless you're imagining The Gaang's raw terror of her (and Zuko's complete obliviousness to said terror) then you cannot.

Blind Zuko story outline is currently with my sensitivity reader, and posting shall begin once applicable edits are made

Priority will of course be with book three of Fox's Tongue, aka The One That Pays My Grocery Bills, but that is where we're at for broad plans just now

[dualcordie]

I’ve seen people talking about Zuko adopting Izumi instead of her being his biological child and I had a silly little thought (that I haven’t stopped thinking about for days)

warning: this post is basically just my last two brain cells trying to put out a semi-coherent thought

What if Zuko and Azula mend their relationship after everything and heal, but they both still despise Ozai so much that they make a pact that their lineage dies with them and they refuse to ever have children?

BUT

Azula goes on some self discovery trip and eventually meets this little orphan named Izumi. They hit it off almost immediately. Azula is usually super awkward around kids, but Izumi is a little menace and Azula loves her. She sees parts of herself, and even Zuko, in Izumi (ya know, before things went downhill for the both of them as children). She manages to bring Izumi back to the capital and tells Zuko she has a surprise.

Zuko nearly shits himself when said surprise is a 6 year old who can’t seem to stop bouncing off the walls and talks so fast you can barely make out what she’s saying. Zuko is adamant that Izumi doesn’t belong there and “What about our deal?!”

To which Azula starts to persuade him (because she’s good at that shit and would be able to do it without hesitation) and even makes the point that their ancestors would be livid if they knew that the Fire Lord adopted a random child rather than “keeping their lineage pure” or whatever the fuck kind of bullshit they’d say. She wants to be an auntie so bad, she’s bound and determined to get Zuko to adopt this kid.

Zuko says Izumi can stay, but he can’t be a dad right now and they’ll have to eventually find someone to take her in. Azula doesn’t believe that for one second, especially after seeing how great Zuko is with every child he comes across. She manages to rope the gaang into it and when Zuko sees how Sokka and Izumi instantly click, how comfortable Izumi is around Aang and Katara’s kids, as well as Toph’s, he can’t say no to adopting her. He takes her in, spends more and more time with her, and they’re definitely a dynamic dad and daughter duo (even though he hasn’t officially adopted her yet). There’s even talk going around the palace that Zuko is spoiling her rotten (but he swears he isn’t, he’s just trying to give her a better childhood than he had).

then blah blah blah Zuko’s a great dad to her and him and Sokka surprise her with the official adoption and they sometimes struggle with the whole new being married and parents thing but they’d give their lives for Izumi in an instant and they’re in love and that’s all that matters

[the-badger-mole]

Do you think Zuko would have made a better Avatar?

I feel like literally anyone else on the team would've made a better Avatar than Aang. This is how I rank them from best to worst, including the non-bending members:

Katara: Would've taken it seriously from jump. Her compassion and empathy make me think she would be the best Avatar of the group over all.

Suki: Would've also taken it seriously. With her military background, and growing up hearing the feats of Avatar Kyoshi, I think she would've been a fantastic wartime Avatar.

Zuko: He has the compassion and empathy necessary for the job, but I think he'd be extremely reluctant at first. He'd come around eventually, but would be really insecure about it for a long time. Even after he wins.

Toph: She...would be a menace. But I think ultimately she'd be a good Avatar. Very, very

Sokka: A great analytical mind, but I think he would absolutely hate being Avatar. At least first. It'd take him a while, but I think he'd make the role his own.

I don't think any of them would be bad Avatars. Any of them would've blown Aang out of the water.

[higuchisora]

The idea of characters from other stories winding up in SVSSS has been stuck in my head for a while but I'm not gonna write abt it lmao so here's what's been rattling around in the ole noggin:

Toph:

Toph would be a genuine menace

Specifically on poor Liu Qingge, who hasn't the slightest clue how he wound up with yet another student

Earthbending should not be possible here. Earthbending is NOT possible here.

Toph invents earthbending here.

In fact, she only gets stronger. Because the cultivation aspects of the world means she's got even more qi and knows more about how to use it beyond earthbending.

She can now use qi itself to "see" (sensing others' qi, using it to sense movement, etc.) Not just earthbending

Lqg wants nothing to do with any more disciples. Especially not ones as annoying as yang yixuan

He gets a gremlin even more annoying than yang yixuan

He lies awake at night, regretting saving her life that one time on a hunt and kickstarting her path of being a Problem

Specifically, he saves her life one night while she's out trying to remaster earthbending, inspiring her to become a cultivator

She runs away from her noble family and their arranged marriage and stifling life that they've planned out for her and heads straight to Cang Qiong's Bai Zhan peak the first chance she gets

Refuses to take no for an answer, thus growing to become lqg's #1 menace

He both blesses and curses the day she was born

Lqg would sooner die than admit she's basically his other baby sister/daughter figure

Will outright refuse to fly on her sword When asked how she'll get around, the earth goddamn MOVES UNDER HER FEET and she causes several earthquake/mole monster sightings with these shenanigans

Is banned from this move

Begins to tunnel underground instead

She could arguably fly on her sword just fine, sensing the qi around her to navigate and shit, but it's harder and definitely uncomfortable and brings back bad memories of that one time in the volcano with Aang and Sokka

Luo Binghe wants her dead

She probably never gets strong enough to 1v1 him and win but she's definitely strong enough to become a genuine challenge

Especially when she reinvents metalbending

Rides for her shizun ong

Would probably fight lbh for lqg's honor after the SQQ corpse situation (he did not ask her to do this)

Aang:

The angel of Qing Jing peak fr

Or that monastery but we don't hear enough about them tbh

Has legitimately no idea how he got here, maybe too scared to question it actually

Like, did he really fuck up and end up getting ripped out of the avatar cycle orrrr????

Decides some things are better left unknown

The only struggle he really has is not being bald anymore

Honestly???? Might still shave his head and just stick to a wig

Would inevitably get caught or ALMOST caught and eventually gets used to growing it out (would probably become the inventor of extensions or wig glue though lmao)

Would make the spoiled qing jing disciples better just by being around them tbh

Star student probably, would be a menace in a cute way

One of the few men allowed on Xian Shu (for visits/messages)

Would probably befriend demons ngl

Loves flying on his sword

Prefers his staff though, and eventually figures out how to make/get someone to make one for him

No one knows how he does the air scooter. They are scared.

No one asks about the tattoos either.

Or how he's controlling all these fucking elements.

He doesn't have an avatar state anymore, but that doesn't seem to stop him from being wildly more dangerous than anyone expected

Possibly unlocks permanent cultivation-blocking? Like sealing off your core

Demons don't take note

Until he learns how to do the same for demonic cores

Exorcist Aang

Possibly becomes a rogue/wandering cultivator

Wandering rogue exorcist Aang????

He's either a god descended upon the earth or a heavenly demon in disguise, according to critics

He thinks it's all silly

Until he meditates too hard and communes with a god or something who tells him they may or may not have bargained to snatch his corner of the avatars soul for a reason

Uh oh

Sokka:

Does not know how he managed to get spiritual energy or cultivate

Actively chooses not to think too much about it

The head disciple of An Ding 😭

Absolutely salty about it

Shang Qinghua is endlessly grateful though

Does not know what to make of the long hair thing; probably tries to keep his hair in a half-pony still, as an ode to the water tribe

I've seen some fics where Qiong Ding is headcannoned as the bureaucratic peak; in this case, he might be able to sweet talk his way in if fate and Yue Qingyuan is kind enough

Either way he's grateful he gets to do sword stuff again

Especially now that he can FLY on them?!

He hasn't completely forgotten his skills, so he's got a whole different style no one's seen before and it's Weirdly Good Actually

He finally works his cultivation up enough to get his personal sword

Then he finally gets to summon his and he cries

It's space sword

No one knows what the fuck to make of this weird ass sword but he doesn't care, it's his and he loves it

Known as the best ever manager of An Ding peak

Katara:

Would have one (1) argument with her brother and march up to Xian Shu

Frequent visitor of Qing Jing and Qian Cao

Mu Qingfang mourns every day that she didn't choose the medicine peak

Katara maintains that she's too ready to beat some ass to ever be a full doctor and vow to do no harm

Never quite learns to be comfy with a sword but can still handle her own

During the demon invasion on Cang Qiong (assuming she's there at the time), she bloodbends Hualing right off the mountain

The demons do NOT stick around

The cultivators are too scared to ask her what the fuck that was but they're nicer to her than before

The xian shu peak gains a fearsome reputation of possibly teaching blood magic

No One gets how she does the waterbending stuff. Outsiders assume it's some Xian Shu ancient secret technique. Or she's related to Mobei Jun. Real members know Kataras just Like This.

Keeps the hair loopies. No matter what people say.

Wears a blue necklace similar to her mother's heirloom; a gift from her shizun probably

Genuinely enjoys the sisterhood on Xian Shu. It reminds her of the better days of her home, before the southern raiders came back

Zuko:

Could've chosen from several peaks, but chooses Bai Zhan

Something about the bamboo on Qing Jing reminds him of his uncle though, so he likes to visit. But not for too long. It hurts.

Isn't really bothered by the long hair thing; while cutting hair isn't forbidden in the fire nation, long hair is common practice, especially for nobles

Keeps the standard topknot until Toph calls it ugly

And then he remembers toph cannot see his topknot

Starts doing ponytails anyway

Also a star student of Bai Zhan, especially after he busts out the firebending forms

Yet another nuisance for poor lqg

He and Toph are the only two that can keep up with each other

Known as the Twin Stars of Bai Zhan

Aka the Twin Headaches of Liu Qingge

Has a small red birthmark near his eye, on the side that used to be burned

The fact that there isn't a massive burn is mildly uncomfortable to him at first. Doesn't feel like himself

Again, No One knows how all these kids with weird qi abilities are coming from

They're beginning to suspect they're all part demon

Neither he nor Toph ever defeat the demon heritage allegations

Especially not with the way they fight. And allegedly have a Past that no one else knows about

Would also fight Binghe for his Shizuns honor

Weirdly chill for Bai Zhan actually

Has probably made leaps and bounds from his avatar hunting days already

Most expect him to have gone to a quieter peak, it's baffling

Until he beats the shit outta somebody

And then goes back to being gentle and chill and forgiving

He wonders if uncle Iroh is watching over him here too

He can only hope his uncle is still proud of him, wherever he might be

Lqg isn't his uncle, but he's still a kind presence that Zuko looks up to a little, even if the guy is a little too punchy

Thus takes it upon himself to ride or die for him

One of the few dual wielders around

His curved blades are also a source of curiosity for the others

But he's good with them so no one complains

In a bingliushen situation, Zuko, Toph, and YYX are feral protective gremlins that somehow make things better AND worse for the development of the bingliushen courtship process lmao

I'll probably make more at some point but that's all for now. If someone wants to make a fic of these PLEASE let me know, link me I'm desperate

[ghostiguro]

BUSH BOY YEEHAW!!

His design is so simple, but I adore it. Once I get used to drawing those complex ass antlers, he's gonna be so fun to draw. >:3

RAMBLE TIME:

In my game, he has the jerk trait, which is so perfect for him as a character. He is an absolute menace & I can't clean the outhouse without him beating the shit out of me & stealing my money, but I love it. <33

OBVIOUSLY.. he would work on the farm. But I could also imagine him helping out Heket in the kitchen (cuz of course the God of Famine has to chef it up, I don't make the rules), & also helping Kallamar in the Healing Bay; since he can grow camellias & they are from his domain, naturally he should be quite knowledgeable about them.

As mentioned, he can grow camellias (✨MAGIC✨) , as well as other plants.

In the boss battle, he can just spit balls of acid at you, right? I think it would be a funny & interesting concept to play around with if he could just. do that whenever. Like imagine he's arguing with someone, & his counter is to just spit on their foot so now they're rolling around on the floor, screaming cuz their foot fuckin burns. I think it would be something he has to consciously decide to do, cuz if he's just constantly drooling acid all the time, then it could get.. messy, to say the least.

Leshy the type of mf to slow down the group cuz he just WON'T stop picking up snails.!!!

People tend to assume that him being blind is a major disadvantage & think he is less capable of things because of it; I imagine this would bother him, but he would use it to his advantage & would REVEL in proving people wrong.

I also think he would use his tail to kinda feel around him, & would be adamant about not wearing anything on his feet for the same reason, kinda like Toph from The Last Airbender (what is up with me relating these characters to A:TLA??)

In terms of combat, he IS the weapon. But I could also imagine him using gauntlets as well, I think that would be cool.

Ok that is all for Leshy for now. :3 Enjoy.
