The major was a dick. I keep thinking it's a different guy from season one and then he exiled her later on. I understand why but he's a royal dick either way.

I'm not surprised the Beifong family is so stubborn, look at how Toph was even raised and then hunted down to be dragged back home. I can see why Toph struggled to be a good mother, much less try to be the kind of father figure the girls needed. And Aang probably couldn't step in to help, nor Sokka since I assume Toph would refuse help, which may be why Lin refuses help while Suyin has been able to bury the hatchet after so many years. But then again, we're not seeing the entire picture.

I dunno, Toph was never really eager to help stop evil back with Aang and Katara. I think she wanted freedom, she got it and then decided she didn't need people around either. I hope something bad didn't happen when it came to her past romances, for all we know some guy could have burned her and made Toph give up on people and just focus on herself. To me though, she's always been selfish (not in a totally bad way but...) and isolating herself seems to please her enough, but then again, she's stubborn.

Awww nice post. Hopefully I can get to the posts I need to do today/tonight and then you can have all week to get them when you feel like it. ^^ Oh and Mako's color is a little hard to read, is there anything lighter you could use~?
