> "One of these days," Corwin mused thoughtfully, "I fully expect >to be notified that Toph has singlehandedly subjugated the dvergar of >Deeper Svartalfheim and is now their dark and terrible queen. Lounging >insolently upon a throne of obsidian and gold while terrified goblins >peel grapes for her one at a time." > "Given some stories I've heard about what she got up to back in >the day... I wouldn't be surprised," Korra admitted. In an oddly a propos case of synchronicity, an Avatar crossover fic currently being released on the Pit of Voles has a very similar passage. From Sokka's private thoughts: And besides, we're talking Zuko and Toph. Two of the most badass benders out there, and Zuko never goes anywhere without his swords. And… Toph. I mean – taking her out? You'd need… gah, I dunno, an entire army of flying mutant ninja were-lemurs! …Except that flying mutant ninja were-lemurs would probably still get their butts kicked, and then they'd take Toph to their secret ninja lair and make her their queen, and he should probably stop there, because the world wasn't ready for Toph, Tyrant Queen of Flying Mutant Ninja Were-Lemurs.

>because the world wasn't ready for Toph, Tyrant Queen of Flying >Mutant Ninja Were-Lemurs.SOKKA The world isn't ready for Toph... SPOCK (interrupting) I would accept that as an axiom. Also, as an aside, when I wrote the line about lounging insolently on her throne, I had in mind this classic panel from the 1960s Thor comics: Toph wouldn't wear that hat, though. She's blind, but she has standards. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

>He's not really lounging, though, is he. Or insolent. True. Admittedly I found a couple good insolent lounging pictures but they weren't exactly what we'd call work friendly. >I don't think Toph really believes that's what's best in life, anyway. > I mean, it's pretty good, but best? Conan obviously >doesn't have enough hobbies if that's the best he can come up with. Dude spent his life up to that point turning a big wheel and pit fighting.
