Description A crucial step to shipping zen: learn that two characters together in a picture does not make it shippy. A boy and a girl are allowed to be in the same frame without being in love with each other.

You just need to make sure they're doing what they do best together.

In Aang's case, this is not one of those pictures. Just because she can punch your shoulder and knock you over does NOT mean that you can punch her shoulder and knock her over.

Toph and Aang are so cute together....BFFs 4ever!!!

I didn't have the energy to color it, and it would have been too hard. I drew this in the car on the way back from Easter break, and no reference...so, forgive the shoddy artwork. In their Fire Nation outfits because I like 'em. And bald is too hard to draw.

They belong to Nickelodeon. I think. Nickelodeon's not confirming that. And neglecting them. Mike and Bryan made them.
The pic is mine. If you want to color, do let me know, and feel free to do so!

I guess we can call this devoted to , for being such an awesome person....

Bah. Lies. There's another show, but it's not going to take place 100 years afterwards. It's nonsense, utter nonsense, just like the rumors that the Earth King was going to have 87 wives and that June was going to help Azula hunt down Zuko and Iroh....

Well it actually did say that the 100 years later thing was just a rumor, I'm just saying what I heard.

And this is as much "Taang" as I can take. They are not meant to be anything more than friends. And this is why. Toph can stand up for herself and punch others. Aang, isn't as strong. Love the picture.

Aang's strong. He just needs someone who can take care of him with enough love to match that of a mother's, because he can't handle himself while he's handling the world.

Thanks.

When I saw the title in my Deviantwatch thingy I was like , but then I saw the picture and your description.

There are some things only Toph can do! I love her expression in this.

HAHA! I love Aangs shriveled little Toph PWNed hand =3 Very cute, these two are adorable together (in a platonic non shipping way).

You're right. Bald IS hard to draw O_o

swan-swan In reply to CallistoHime [2008-04-11 22:27:15 +0000 UTC]

They are, indeed, cute....shipping almost takes all the fun out of it. Not so much with their relationship as their personalities....but they work well together, and their matching heights keeps them picture-perfect. I just can't mentally connect them, shippingly. It's a block of mine...though, I just had the amusing mental image of Aang looking for a babysitter and Toph being all "Why not me? Because I'm blind?" and then evetually getting the job....Toph would make one heck of a babysitter. She'd scare the poor thing to death. She's actually the character I'm the most interested in seeing several years later. She can do anything with her life....she also seems to have the most variety in the adult-ified fanart department.

Bald is much hard....Aang always turns out messed up. That's why I like his hair. But I love his robe outfit.

Aang's expression is hilarious and you're right, people jump to conclusions too easily, drawing 2 charaters in the same panel does not mean you're actually shipping them together, and even if you do it doesn't mean you're a fan of the ship in question.

I pretty much react the same way as Toph, when someone hits me. The outcome, for the puncher, usually becomes like this. XD

No one moves that girl! Though, Sokka is an exception.

Not physically, though. He could hit her with his war club and he'd just break the club.

Yep, that's pretty much how it works; Toph, the Iron Maiden.

I love love love Aang's face here, lamenting his poor hand. Toph's deadpan expression is also win.

(Also, thank you very much!)

Yep! You're the inspiration....shipping zen, shipping zen. I figured that if you can draw Mai and Zuko snogging, Aang failing to amuse Toph should be easy enough. And, come on, you KNOW that this had to happen sometime in their adventures.
