Okay so I've been thinking about Avatar the Last Airbender again lately and of course, the Wingfeather Saga and I wrote up a whole post about that the other day that's in my drafts but I NEED you all to hear this concept that just made me WHEEZE and start laughing out loud.

Toph in the Strander Burrows.

They have TUNNELS specifically made so that they can sneak up into people's houses and STEAL from them, can you imagine the CHAOS this child could wreak both on the unsuspecting populace of Dugtown and on the Stranders themselves by CHANGING tunnels that have been in place for a hundred years or more on a WHIM because she CAN.

Initially I thought of Maraly introducing her to them but now I'm wondering if it would be funnier if they're just NEMESISES. Like, lil Shadowblade Maraly chasing lil Blind Bandit Toph through Strander Burrows, popping back to the surface when Toph tries to lose her by CHANGING THEM or opening walls or something but Maraly knows EXACTLY where the tunnel comes out so she just goes there anyway. Toph keeps bending the metal in Maraly's knives she throws at her so Maraly starts making knives out of other materials (and like, it could be something semi-reasonable like bone, but imagine her just sending a letter to Kalmar like "hey I need some of those glowing stones from your basement to defeat my nemesis" ASKFHDGJFAL;KD).

Gammon is trying to figure out how to adopt Toph aklfjdgsfa;dksl he's hoping the girls will just work things out and end up friends (spoiler: they do, eventually, and THAT'S when they really get chaotic and Gammon regrets ever wishing they were friends).

oh my gosh they're even the same age it's meant to be
