TophAang - Get Over Here

Another fragment from my art backlog, this time from all the way back in July or so.

I don't really ship Toph/Aang. I didn't really ship either of them with anybody, to be honest, until I got addicted to crack Toph/Teo a few months ago. But I sort of anti-ship them, I guess you could say; I think they'd be a glorious disaster and I almost want to see them together temporarily just to ogle the mess. (Call it similar to my fondness for dysfunctional past-tense Jet/Katara, which coexists peacefully with my generally more Zuko/Katara nature.) I've actually almost ficced them just for the chemisty and the impending train wreck. Somehow my mental image of the inevitable outcome always involves Toph throwing things and yelling...

So, yes, anyway, this was drawn after viewing one too many Toph/Aang fanarts where they are displaying tender, generic woobiness. C'mon. The best potential of the pairing for me is the clash of personalities. Toph would so court him the way she trained him: grabbing him and dragging him around, cavewoman style.

And so I sketched, in a brief moment of pique, my idea of what a first kiss for those two would be like. Hey, Twinkletoes, c'mere. We need to talk...

(There are like eighty things wrong with this sketch, but I like the motion and energy of it, so it's going in scraps. Hopefully a few people will stumble over it and enjoy it.)
