#ty lee 🤝 toph : being chaotic neutral

[comradekatara]

a great thing about the aang & ty lee friendship potential postwar is that they are very similar in many ways (terrifyingly powerful but easily underestimated due to their adorable smiles and big brown eyes, etc) but while aang has a very firm moral code when it comes to doing violence, ty lee seems to have absolutely no morals whatsoever (besides the fact that her chi-blocking only temporarily disables people and doesn’t kill) and will just do whatever is in her best interest—but we also know that if she cares about someone enough, she will sacrifice her own safety/self-preservation for their sake (see: the boiling rock). so once she joins the kyoshi warriors bc she thinks they’re cool and hot, and she and aang become friends bc she likes his vibe, they can basically just steer her in the direction of Performing Good Deeds by being like “hey ty lee come help us restore this air temple <3” or “let’s bring food to hungry people together!!!!” and she’s like “okay!!!! <3” because she’s with her friends and it’s a fun way to spend a saturday. she is so incredibly powerful & smart & can do anything she sets her mind to, but that means that her friends have to make sure that they are convincing her to use her powers for good instead of evil because she really doesn’t care either way, as long as she’s having a good time :)
