I'm so glad you liked this! It's a truly awesome prompt. (Psst! I've been thinking about it since Festibility, because it is so awesome).
She doesn't bend like others do -- she doesn't even perceive bending the way sighted viewers of the show perceive her bending. She doesn't have that visual frame of reference.
YES--and this is something that's really intimidating to me about writing Toph. I think space and feeling or weight are woven deeply into her perceptions, which is the opposite of how I am. So thank you for nudging me out of my comfort zone and allowing me to play around with it.
So. Much. Love.
<3 <3 <3 I'm so glad. I had lots of fun writing this, and hoped it did the prompt justice.
