another thing i like is at first Toph was head strong about "carrying her own weight" and not needing to help the rest of the group set up camp but only a few episodes later and before the comet we see that she sets up rock slabs to build tents off of for EVERYONE not just herself
@@romanterry7215 I’ve watched this show every year since it aired, sometimes multiple times a year, and still never noticed this detail. Avatar is freaking crazy (or I’m just not very attentive lol)
Toph was so useful and powerful in ways where she was carrying their weight too. Honestly, her self-sufficiency grounded the whole team. In every sense of the word
And they explained that while they were in the western air temple that was the first time in a while that they have had a chance to take a break and relax
It's kind of the same with Zuko, he sleeps with his scar on the pillow side when he's with people he doesn't trust and sleeps with his scar in the open when he is with people he trusts
That's really sad additionally because the comics stated that the scar causes him great pain, and laying on that side of the face just to hide it would hurt a lot.
@@raph3699I mean, he's able to see with that eye perfectly fine, so I don't see why the outer edge of the burn (which would be weaker, compared to the burn area directly on the eye) would impact the hearing, which takes place inside the ear rather than the outside. Unless the burn melted his ear canal closed, I don't see why it would make it harder to hear on that side
Toph can bend sand. She just isn't good at it. This can be seen when she's holding Wong Shi Tong's tower and both turns the sand she's standing on into stone and sends some sand waves at the sand benders who take Appa. But as she says to Appa before that, sand is "fuzzy" for her.
@@lukeroberson2115That was Season 2. Season 3 was when she had stated that she had begun training herself to use it and she was getting pretty good at it as we could see by the sand sculpture she made.
She sleeps with her hands and her feet disconnected from the surface of the earth because no matter if she is awake or asleep she can feel the vibrations in the earth and disconnecting from the earth is the only way she can truly rest.
Can we just smile at how diverse shows like Avatar were without feeling forced or contrived, introduce a character with a disability, and is never cured of said disability, and has found ways to succeed despite their disability. Avatar the last air bender is a unique sparkling gem and I am happy to have grown up around the time of its airing
She probably just don't want to "see" the monk remains there. She lift her feet up so that she can sleep without having to feel them air nomad's skelly bones
Idk im pretty sure see can only feel things that are moving because of the Vibration, im pretty sure that Bones lying on the floor dont send any vibrations unless they get moved by the Wind or sum
@@Greenfire_ I think Toph can feel the shape of the dirt and earth too, like the first few episode where she knows there is a whole temple underground.
Her feet are the way toph sees so she keeps her feet up. It’d be pretty distracting feeling everything around you while you’re trying to sleep. It’s kinda like why we shut our eyes when We’re trying to sleep
Toph's first journey episode showed a major clash because of their personality differences and different upbringing. It was Iroh who warmed Toph up to working as a team and depending on her friends, while at the same time remaining fiercely helpful to the others.
Also it happened at a key point in her arc. She had just proven that not even a family-sent bounty hunter can take her back against her will, and she invented metalbending. She had proven to herself she *was* in control, and thus was able to feel safe enough to let go of some control to work as a team. Before then she was terrified of being under anyone else’s control. I mean she fled with the Gaang in the first place to get away from her sheltered life. She just didn’t understand how to be on a team and thus had issues acclimating. Which is what Iroh helped with.
Basically she does that so she can actually sleep and not feel every tiny vibration. When in enemy territory, she’ll use her hands so when an enemy arrives, she’s the first to know and the squad can stance up
I like that Toph only naturally feels her surroundings when it's relevant to the plot. They get snuck up on a lot in the show and Toph usually says nothing (Hama is a prime example). There are also a lot of cases where she should say whether or not someone is lying but doesn't
I mean if she was constantly on edge 24/7 she’d burn herself out. But if she’s specifically sleeping with one eye open (one hand on the ground) yeah she’ll notice something. No human can constantly monitor their surroundings perfectly.
Man I can't believe I missed that. Toph is my favorite character. How did I miss her keeping her feet of the ground while she sleeps. Her keeping her feet of the ground while sleeping is the same as a normal person closing their eyes while trying to sleep. She can't turn off the seismic sight. It's active all the time. She developed this ability as an extension of her senses and she can't turn it off anymore than we can stop hearing. So it makes sense to sleep she would have to disconnect her feet from the earth. Even in the earth tent, she slept on her stomach, I suspect with the purpose of keeping the soles of her feet pointed away from the earth but she could still feel vibrations through her hands if the vibrations where strong enough.
Whenever I hear somebody talk about they're needing to be more strong, independent female characters, I always remind them of Toph and Katara. Ya, they were the girls of the group. But that definitely didn't define them. They felt like they not only had there own agency but they were core members of the group not just people who were shoehorned in
I kind of wish there was more about that. I get it’s a kid’s show so going full crime procedural was too dark but I kind of wanted to see all the kidnapped people 😂
@@DeathnoteBB You do see them at the end! They are all the people Hama kidnapped and were keeping prisoner under the mountain. Toph, Sokka, and Aang rescued them before Sokka and Aang met up with Katara at the end.
it's like that old episode of spongebob where sponge and patrick got turned into ghosts and pat said he could'nt sleep because he saw through his eyelids.
Id argue cuz she sees threw touch having her feet off the ground or hands in her lap is her way of choosing her eyes to shut off incoming stimulus to rest. But yeah keeping them touching when she's on guard is a good point but it must be hard to get over all the natural movements around her while she's trying to sleep. But I guess that's kind of the same as getting sleep in a busy or loud area
Honestly, I think it would have been cool if toph made a simple hollow cube with a door hole whenever they camp, she could just destroy when they are done and it would have taken her no effort.
There’s something similar with Zuko! He only sleeps on his scarred side so he can hear, but once he joins team avatar he sleeps scar up, signifying that he feels safe around them
It always bothered me that she didnt make a tent big enough for everyone. Like that would provide much better shelter for everyone. Like the one she made in the serpent's pass.
It kinda makes sense. Her earth tent works for her because she can still "see" just fine and open it at any time. For everyone else, it would be pitch black and they'd need Toph to open it for them unless it has open doorway. Significantly less cozy for anyone other than a blind earthbender.
Bro, that’s not the reason it’s because the only way for tough to close her eyes is basically to put her feet up and everything that concerns movement because the way she sees is feeling the vibrations
makes perfect sense of why her hands and feet are off the ground, so she wouldn't have to sense anyone while she tries to sleep, but if in enemies' territory, that's when she have them on the ground, on lookout while have a nap.
Toph puts her feet up because that’s her way of relaxing and basically closing her eyes, her senses can prevent her from having a good sleep if her feet touch the ground
She sleeps like that because of her hands or feet are on the ground she can see and feel everyone walking around since she’s blind and all, so it’s more of a way for her to relax and when she has her hands and feet’s on the ground that’s to watch for people coming even though it’s less relaxing for her
I’m curious how Toph developed this strong fight or flight instinct. I can understand blindness making an average person more alert or fearful, but we know Toph has lived a life of complete and total safety. Surely she didnt learn to be fearful of nighttime enemies while living in a protected palace. Is there some hidden story of trauma that we haven’t heard yet?
I’ve explained it in other replies but for one, she deeply needed control. A private tent only she can use is the ultimate control. But also remember there, she’s new to the world. _Because_ of the sheltered life she probably has little experience outside in the wild except for the tunnels she met the Badgermoles in. Imagine if someone had wandered in on their camp and she was just out in the open. It must have been hard to relax enough to sleep in a flimsy tent, so she made a rock tent
@@DeathnoteBB I guess I was thinking Toph would be more naive about the dangers of the world, and therefore less likely to take danger seriously. Come to think about it, that would have been an interesting character flaw for Toph. Sort of like a One Punch Man scenario. I also don’t necessarily see “control” being a major aspect of Toph’s character. At no point in their journey does Toph come across as controlling or domineering. She’s incredibly go-with-the-flow, and doesn’t try to steer her friends at any point. In fact, Toph is completely negligent about her hygiene and appearance, which is a stark contrast to Azula, who has to control every last hair on her head.
Another reason for Toph having her feet up is because that is the only way she can relax. Since she "sees"/senses her surroundings with her feet she must keep them up while sleeping to actually relax
IM SORRY BUT LIL TOPH SLEEPING IS SO CUTE Toph is now 10 miles away from my location and rapidly approaching because I called her cute Toph is now 5 miles away from my location and rapidly approaching Toph is now 1 mile away from my location and rapidly approaching Toph is now- *intense screech*
Same thing with zuko, when with the fore nation, he sleeps on his scar so if anything happens, he would hear it, but with team avatar, he sleeps on his good ear (I can only assume the reason for this change is either A: the show how much he trusts the team B: it's uncomfortable to sleep on his scared ear or C: both
Her feet being burned could definitely been a part of it. She definitely doesn't want to feel every vibration of everything in like an 80 mile radius at all times. She has her friends around. She doesn't need to be sensing everything right now
She does this because her feet are hypersensitive to movement she can feel the slightest jolt. She has the ability due to the fact she can’t see. She keeps her feet up when it’s safe so it’s easier for her to sleep.
The reason that Toph sleeps with her feet off the ground is because is because that's how she can sleep soundly. Since she uses vibrations to see through her feet, if they were touching the ground she would be seeing while she sleeps.
Fun Fact: In a scene where Zuko goes to talk to Sokka in his tent (the one where he’s expecting Suki), Toph built an earth wall between her and the tent.

So cute details
Toph and Iroh are the best character's. Momo is adorable too 😊
Im pretty sure that even with her feet and hands off the ground, Toph feels vibrations in her spine and other body parts.
Probably not as sensitive in those areas.
I think its so that she doesn’t hear sokka and suki “bending” in their tent
Gaining one’s trust is a beautiful thing.
The fact that she unconsciously uses a skill thats so difficult that almost no earthbenders can use it shows how powerful Toph is.
It's like closing her eyes I guess
The details of avatar are astonishing.
Toph is such a smash
Its the little details. Like in One Piece where zoro is always on alert except when luffy is around, then he just shuts down.
The Greatest Earthbender alive
There’s something similar with Zuko! He only sleeps on his scarred side so he can hear, but once he joins team avatar he sleeps scar up, signifying that he feels safe around them
Toph pov is so strange seeing as how it should be a blank black screen
Her "seismic radar" is pretty neat, and a lot more interesting than a blank screen
Also taking her feet off, the ground is kind of for a way of closing her eyes
It always bothered me that she didnt make a tent big enough for everyone. Like that would provide much better shelter for everyone. Like the one she made in the serpent's pass.
It kinda makes sense. Her earth tent works for her because she can still "see" just fine and open it at any time. For everyone else, it would be pitch black and they'd need Toph to open it for them unless it has open doorway. Significantly less cozy for anyone other than a blind earthbender.
Others prefer an open space
@@squiddler7731Exactly my thoughts. Plus - Imagine the smells.
She actually does later on. In the southern raiders the tents are held up by huge slabs of rock.
@squiddler7731 I'm pretty sure the reason she did it was bc she didn't want to help them set up so she just made her own
Toph turning off her radar when they’re confirmed to be safe😂

Bro, that’s not the reason it’s because the only way for tough to close her eyes is basically to put her feet up and everything that concerns movement because the way she sees is feeling the vibrations
It’s like closing her eyes. Zuko is the same way with his scar, he sleeps with his scar exposed with people he trust
I think its the same as why we close our eyes, since thats Tophs version of sight not having her feet on the ground is like having her eyes closed

Well that is basically shutting her eyes for her, whadaya expect?

That’s also why she didn’t catch Sonia sneaking away
it is VERY lucky Toph is a light-sleeper
She uses the ground to see, hence why she lifts her feet. Considered closing her eyes if they are off the ground
My favorite character besides aang
The reason that Toph sleeps with her feet off the ground is because is because that's how she can sleep soundly.
Since she uses vibrations to see through her feet, if they were touching the ground she would be seeing while she sleeps.
I swear it’s like they were adding details for 20 years oh wait…
Whats the episode calld when toph said theres somthing coming towards us
She doesn’t need to touch the ground with her skin to seismic sense. Lin Beifong uses it with thick boots on.
the air temple has a roof, there would be no need for a tent. Open plains there is a chance of rain or enemy air attack.
Her feet are like eyes that can't be closed that's why she sleeps like that
Toph can see everything with her feet and if on the ground she gets no rest because her feet basically does all the work
I’m surprised overanalyzing avatar didn’t mention this
You know she sees by vibrations which means she would see forever
Fun Fact: In a scene where Zuko goes to talk to Sokka in his tent (the one where he’s expecting Suki), Toph built an earth wall between her and the tent.
Well, but she wasn't on enemy's territory, but in the Air Temple.
The only reason she takes her feet off the ground is so that her vibration bending i think is always getting used when her feet are on the ground
I mean Toph is just super stacked earth bender & walking radar
Wow even this deatail :o
Topher doesn't need her hands of feet on the ground to feel the vibrations in the earth.
She's closing her eyes
Nice
Imagine if toph started sleeping with her hands and feet off the ground because she felt safe with her friends😭
Looks like Toph is light sleeper
