Butterfly Nebula
Negiiiii! biggrin I was wondering when you'd show up.
And what do you mean, 'what Tokka'?! Are you BLIND, sir?! If that PUNCH and Toph clinging onto Aang can be considered Taang, the rest of the dang episode can be considered Tokka.
Okay, lemme go through the episode here...
-Teasing Sokka (though I thought that was a pretty lame joke...)
-CLINGING ONTO HIM 90% OF THE TIME ON THE DOCKS AND BOAT.
-When she was clinging, Sokka was supporting her in return, unlike Aang who just stood there passively.
-Toph's 'I didn't know you cared so much'. (That one's reaching a lot, I know, but I take what I get. She sounded impressed.)
-Toph's continuing lack of inhibition about getting physical with Sokka (though that could definitely be considered a sign of closer friendship)
-Of course, being left alone all night with him. I thought that they looked more than a little like a pair of scolding parents when Aang and Katara showed up.
-(This one is going to anger Taangers) The punch. OKAY. Here's one possible slant to it. Toph is a defensive person about her feelings, right? Maybe when Aang suggested that Sokka had a heart, she thought he was somehow mocking her or she didn't want to agree because he might realize her feelings, so she quickly got rid of him by punching him. If you study her face afterwards, it looks kinda... weird, maybe worried. I am almost certain that I am reaching for the sky in this idea, though, please don't kill me.
-And, of course, Tokka is supported by process of elimination through the in-your-face Kataang throughout EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. (I dislike Kataang as a singular pairing, but it compliments my pairings, so I tolerate it.)
So there, Negi. You, sir, are blind. And I say again, though much of these so-called hints are reaching a LOT, if you can claim that Toph clinging onto Aang and punching Aang are Taang, then you must admit that Tokka is valid, because SHE DOES THIS MUCH MORE OFTEN TO SOKKA. (Especially the punching, but also the clinging. I can pull up an encyclopedic list of the punching and clinging if you wish.)

..... touche.
And again to be honest I thought some Tokkans might see the punch as being slightly pro-Tokka.
And I'm gonna have to watch that episode again because I thought Toph didn't hang on to Sokka very much or at all during that episode. That or I didn't pick up on that.
Now if you'll excuse me, I will continue to hold on dearly to my Taang moment and go crawl in a cave and die.
