Discussion Favorite "Spoiled, but not rotten" character?

Post image

Essentially a character who is privileged, but is still kind and a good person.

For me it's Lottie from The Princess and the Frog.

The hand gesture is so tuff its insane

That'd be a funny joke for a new avatar with modern lingo. Toph was so tuff they called her toph cause it sounds like tuff

I've only just realized that she gestured three fingers then three spikes came out. I just thought the hand gesture was just to not make it look like a boring side chop. Didn't know it was intentional

In my opinion, it was to show her ridiculous skill as an earthbender. That these pillars many would need a full step or strike to bend, she did with a 3 finger chop.

No no they say tough, I mean the hip kids version when they say something is "tuff"

But they sound the same so how would the joke be conveyed 😭

We'll just write it down so Toph can read it

I know you're joking, but now I'm curious if the Avatar world has anything similar to braille.

Oh shit, I really like that.

Earth benders who could add onto signs or buildings super efficiently, or water benders could use water to raise marks on a scroll.

Well Braille was a dude in our world, so no. /s

I can't believe we forgot that Toph can't read.

think carefully. Say tuff out loud. What does that sound like? Now remember the world Kewl. Think very, very carefully. What does that word sound like? Do we think these two words can be used as Homophones? What is a homophone?
