Description Delayed Toko week! What do you want? I'm behind schedule and I didn't even realize it until today!

~LengTu 's fault. She did one, so now I'm tempted and I've been meaning to put up these for a while.

Okay--So I did a series of images that surround a fan fiction on Toko. The basic idea (since at the time people were all like--they're too far apart in age! ew~) was that their relationship began as friends when the events of A:tLA happened, but as the years progressed it grew. I don't imagine them getting together very quickly. So I did a series of images of "over the years" showing the growth of their relationship. I kind of borrowed the idea from a friend on the avatar forum, who was writing a fan fiction surrounding the idea that Zuko traveled for a long time, patching up relations with the help of Aang and company before finally settling as Firelord--and that Iroh was pretty much running the kingdom in his absence. The thought made so much sense to me, and then it dawned. You know, it's probably during this time that Toph and Zuko get even closer. Which brought me joy. So based on all that, I began writing this fan fiction, and I drew the images to accompany it.

I was debating putting up small chunks of the story in the comments, but... hmmmm... it's iffy. I may just use the images again as chapter 'images'. Not sure. Still debating.

So here are the ones I'll be putting up during Toko week:

Friendship (Part I & II )
Travelling
Confrontation
Be Yourself
Quiet Words
Iroh's Happiness

Oh, and what it says on the top in case people have trouble reading it: "Zuko helps Toph deal with her parents lack of acceptance of her and her way of life and skills."

Lovely rant and I do like ur reasoning on how Zuko would likely have to patch up relations in his kingdom. If he didn't then his reign wouldn't be very stable, so I find that pathway to their romance very plausable
I also love the theme of them visiting her parents especially since she confided in him about how she just wanted their love on their 'fieldtrip'

Exactly. I figure as they're traveling around, eventually she was going to have to confront them. Probably not wanting to deal with them on her own (in case they try to do something stupid like lock her up again--and she doesn't want to hurt them), and Zuko is a good candidate. They're not intimidated by the Avatar. However, the Firelord... Maybe a little. <3

The scene where they tried to lock her up really irritated me. It reminded me of that Greek myth where that King locked his daughter Danae in a golden room and that's where she was seduced by Zeus... woops sorry went on a tangent there but yeah for Zuko helping Toph with her when she probably feels most vulnerable

It's small things like that that make their relationship feel natural and realistic. It's not forced. It just... happens. Because they're there for each other. <3

Zuko! don't you know it's rude to point! I like this, I can just imagine the rant zuko might prattle on about.

It's fun working on their faces and hair and physical positions to get across their age. ^_^

(though I think saying their age at the top helps.) XD

it does a bit, but i like seeing how they change. it helps me when i write them older, since i can't draw. i like to look up older versions.
