That's because Toph's blindness becomes invisible to them just due to how well she carries herself. The only reason Azula remembers is because she looks for people's weaknesses to exploit them (e.g. the volleyball game "she hesitates with he left foot, aim for her left"). Even though we know that it really isn't that much of a weakness for Topg, Azula would remember it.
• Le Emochicken • That’s not what a snitch is...and she also exploits weaknesses of those close to her(Zuko, Ty Lee, Mai), and the rest of your comment was already said by Trey Atkins in the comment above yours so...😐
Nah, I think Azula is way smarter than them because she doesn’t have to worry about “ I have to re gain my honor “ or “oh no! I have to face the fire lord “ It’s just because she is an evil person and loves to remember the downside of people.
The best thing about Tophs character is that the writers are so self conscious about her blindness and aren't afraid of making jokes about it, Dark humor is Fun, Toph looks at it all the time.
Tbf, Toph's seismic sense means she can sometimes function with greater situational awareness than the rest of the Gaang, so it's not exactly unexpected for them to occasionally forget she can't see, when she can occasionally "see" better than they can.
2:09 I genuinely love how Toph doesn’t even miss a beat and passes the scroll to Katara instantly, but at the same time, Katara knew right away and was ready to read it for her. It’s the little things that make this show great
I love how half the jokes involve the characters flat-out forgetting that she's blind. It's a real testament to how capable she is, it's almost like she doesn't even have a disability!
@@fggyleafexist1753 I get your intention, but it's honestly just insulting to call a disability something that makes someone stronger when we all know it isn't. Especially when many disabilities are genuinely debilitating. It makes it harder for disabled people to get the assistance they may need when everyone encourages others to think of disability as a "strength". Disabilities can be coped with, but they're not strengths. What makes someone strong is inside them, not outward things like disabilities.
@@sawyerharris3721 I'd have to agree here. I understand the counter culture of disabilities (kind of like the love your body movement), but having it be your "strength" is outright wrong. Embracing your weak points is good and all, but trying to do so in a way by saying it makes you stronger is just painting the disability in a different light rather than accepting it. Disabilities put people through hardships and that's what makes people stronger, not the disability itself.
I like how when Toph is pointing out how bad of an idea it would be for her to control an airship, she actually looks excited and maybe even a little hopeful, and when Sokka clarifies that he was talking to Suki she almost looks disappointed
You forgot the best part after Katara points out that Toph can’t write “Well, we could give one to Toph and say it from Katara.” “I think we’d run into a similar problem.”
It's funny she couldn't see the poster but somehow took the brush from Sokka right in the handle from his LEFT hand as if she actually... well...SAW it
I think its because they respect her so much they overlook her blindness. There are plenty of moments where she can see so they forget the smaller moments where she can't. Like with reading and writing. They forget in a good way.
Sokka: "Hey, what if they made books that didn't have printed text, but had these little raised bumpy-things that you could, uh, 'read' by running your fingers over 'em?" Toph: *shrugs* "Eh. Still wouldn't be much of a book girl." - the reason why Braille was never invented in the Avatarverse
Because of how she can see everything thing else not only could she be the best earth bender. If made out of the right thing she could be the best reader because she could read the whole book instantly
It legit took me years to realize that was the joke. I always thought the animators just didn’t draw the picture for Appa on the poster for some reason
@@yeahkeen2905 the best part about watching shows was when you didn't get a joke when you were young and then you come back years later to understand it's the best thing ever
I have a friend with stargardts and so she's not completely blind but she is legally blind and cannot see as well and sometimes you really just forget.
Honestly Toph doesn’t mind, she knows Katara wasn’t purposely trying to hurt her feelings. You get friends like that sometimes, they seem like the mean one of the group, but sometimes they’re the only ones there for you.
There's literally no other way to perform long distance communication. It would be assumed that Toph is with people who can at least see, because they treat her like someone who can't sense the earth.
AANG: I guess plan B would be to write a letter to Toph and say it's from Katara. SOKKA: We're probably gonna run into a similar problem here. ME: Yeah, dude, she can't read either. The Avatar, ladies and gentlemen. Master of the four elements, bridge between the spirit and physical worlds the peacemaker of the land. *people cheer* Don't cheer, this idiot forgot that his blind friend can't read or write.
I kinda love that they forgot it. It's not that they don't know Toph. They know her. They know her as agood friend, they know that she is independent, that she doesn't need help from anyone, so obviously they don't think that something as normal as writing would be problematic. Like she's our badass Toph, of course she can write, she can do anything. They know her as a full functioning person and thus they keep forgetting that there's actually something she's just not able to do.
Watched that episode again last night. TOOOOOTALLY didn't think about the fact that she's blind and figured Katara was just bitching about Toph having a tent and the rest of the Gaang not having a tent **facepalms**
Well, if something equivalent exists, it musn't be widespread.Toph belongs to one of the richest family in the world. If it existed, her parents would have had her use it.
@@theuniversalhitchhiker1961 Well, they DO have a alphabet system (well more like a ideograph system with phonetic equivalents but it's the same thing) but, as blind people would be considered 'useless' in the setting, no one would have made an effort to make a system where they can at least read. Bas relief seems to exist though, so Toph can at least experience some art by touching or sensing it.
@@liamjm9278 Because, Braille is older than Wheelchairs, and this series has tanks and even a drill the size of half of the equivalent of the Great Wall of China. There should already be an equivalent of Braille if you think about it.
If iirc she’s been blind since she can remember. It’s not as bad if she doesn’t know how much she’s really missing on. It would be cold of she lost her vision after seeing the world because them she’d know exactly how much she missed out on.
Uhhh... I assume the mom thinks that Toph has friends... or honestly just anyone who would be able to read it for her. There really isn't many alternatives to sending a letter without electronics.
Amanda Fodera well, in the episode, Toph was being selfish and not helping with anything. Katars was mad about it, and since they used sleeping bags instead of tents, they could see the stars. It makes perfect sense for her to forget she was blind, because it doesn’t really make sense for her to point it out in that scenario.
Yep we're idiots Later in the episode one of them suggests writing a letter to Toph and say it's from Katara. The other then goes I feel like we would run into a similar issue
@@thethievesdomain8360 You don't draw Braille, but you can punch little holes from under the paper, and if you do it right, you feel the holes on the top side.
Facts. That is something I just realized and it's a good indicator of not focusing on a disability of a protagonist as a way to subsitute it for actual character or personality for them.
@B(.Y.)BIES!! Exactly. She is a person (fictional but that does not really matter) with a disability, not a disability with legs. Saldy this seems to get forgotten more and more with newer media. -.-
Not really. Since the majority of people aren't blind, they are not used to having a blind person in their party. Stop trying to look for something that is non-existent.
They actually say: Katara: "I know it dosn't matter, but your really pretty" Toph: "Thanks. I'd return the compliment, but I have no idea what you look like." But still nice notice...
I like how this series doesn’t fully “fix” her blindness with Earthbending. Yes, she can “see” better than normal blind people, but they still show that she still has some drawbacks without her sight...but despite that, she’s still snarky and badass and I love her!!!
Fake Toph from the play: “I emit a sonic wave from my mouth” - inhales - *EEEeeEeeEEEEEEeeeEEEEeeEeEeEeEEEEAaaaAAAAaaAaAaAaAaaaAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” Toph: Hey, this guy’s good
@@jinhunterslay1638 They learn in Braille and use special equipment to read/write/type such as screen-reading software and a special kinda Braille keyboard with stubs that protrude and retract. (Sorry idk the name of the keyboard :3 )
I love how both katara and sokka try to show toph a piece of paper by whipping it out in her face and expecting her to read it and give them an answer. And how it was the exact same sheet of paper twice.
Because it's easier for her, the party treats her like one of their own, and Toph Largely isn't hampered by her lack of sight, so it's easy to forget that she Actually lacks sight when you do things you'd normally do in social situations
2:09 I love how Toph just casually passes it over. No joke needed or anything, the gesture alone is hilarious. AND Katara just doesn’t even question it, almost motherly in a way.
"Toph! I haven't seen you in years" "I've never seen you" -From a flashback in TLOK- Edit: It's not from the series but appears in a fan-made comic strip using images from S01E09
It's funny because she is so capable on her own, and so strong (strongest earthbender ever) that it's natural that everyone just forgets that she is blind. Heck, there are moments where i forgot she was blind because she is so capable and independent.

I'm showing the show to my parents and I made the exact same joke just the other day
Honestly thought I got a real audible ad for a second and I'm like damn that's savage 😂😂

Lol!
Was kind of genius.
"Too bad you can't see them"
I never realized how cold that was.
If you say that like that IRL you will be hated for the rest of your life
If iirc she’s been blind since she can remember. It’s not as bad if she doesn’t know how much she’s really missing on. It would be cold of she lost her vision after seeing the world because them she’d know exactly how much she missed out on.
People say hurtful things that they don't mean when they're angry.

Katara: "Hey Toph, the hell is this?"
Toph: " *I* "

*When your mom sends you a letter knowing you can’t read it. YUP*
Definitely not a trap. Nope.
Big brain time
OMG! Seriously, this is the first time ever I can say a comment is under rated. 😂
You're right! She should had sent an email
Uhhh... I assume the mom thinks that Toph has friends... or honestly just anyone who would be able to read it for her. There really isn't many alternatives to sending a letter without electronics.

I love how basically none of these jokes are offensive
Bruh Huh that’s cause most of the time Toph’s the one making them
The one and only malicious joke is the one where kitara mocked toph for not being able to see the stars.
@@akumaisreal2090 Even then I feel that Katara actually forgot Toph was blind and just mocking her secluding herself inside a rock tent.
@@andriagassi no, she did it specifically to try and hurt her. They were arguing fiercely before that. Katara isnt a saint lol
Amanda Fodera well, in the episode, Toph was being selfish and not helping with anything. Katars was mad about it, and since they used sleeping bags instead of tents, they could see the stars. It makes perfect sense for her to forget she was blind, because it doesn’t really make sense for her to point it out in that scenario.
I just love how Toph bullies everyone for NOT being blind 😂🤣
Best Synopsis of Toph’s Characters:
“I don’t know, Whats with You people, I’M BLIND!”

My fav part:
Sokka: it's so dark down here, I can't see a thing.
Toph: ouh no what a nightmare
Everyone forgetting she’s blind is actually a pretty good indicator of how capable toph is despite her disability
10/10 writing, everyone take notes
The only reason i Don't forget shes blind is because of her eyes
This
Facts. That is something I just realized and it's a good indicator of not focusing on a disability of a protagonist as a way to subsitute it for actual character or personality for them.
@B(.Y.)BIES!! Exactly. She is a person (fictional but that does not really matter) with a disability, not a disability with legs. Saldy this seems to get forgotten more and more with newer media. -.-
Not really. Since the majority of people aren't blind, they are not used to having a blind person in their party. Stop trying to look for something that is non-existent.

I like how this series doesn’t fully “fix” her blindness with Earthbending. Yes, she can “see” better than normal blind people, but they still show that she still has some drawbacks without her sight...but despite that, she’s still snarky and badass and I love her!!!
I always thought the same thing
ok calm down its just animation
i love the way she clings to sokka when she’s on appa’s and doesn’t feel safe or when they were on the war balloons
hcyfyvn huchchc it is quite sweet how she mocks sokka for not being able to bend but when she can’t see he is the one she holds onto for support
Now all that they need to do is make the rules for her sight consistent and we should be perfect
Sokka: its so dark down here i cant see a thing.
Toph: oh no! what a nightmare. 😂😂😂😂😂
*Sokka
*Toph
Twisted Wolf i thought i spelled it wrong oh well
My favorite sarcastic moment of toph.
Sokka: sorry
Gil Ares it just sums up her life.
The fact that people forget that toph is blind is a good indication that the team behind atla made sure her personality didnt revolve around it.
Fake Toph from the play: “I emit a sonic wave from my mouth” - inhales -
*EEEeeEeeEEEEEEeeeEEEEeeEeEeEeEEEEAaaaAAAAaaAaAaAaAaaaAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
Toph: Hey, this guy’s good
There. I got a pretty good look at you!
@@MiserableMidnight XD

I think the reason toph was a big muscly guy in the play was because nobody wanted to admit they got their butts kicked by a 12 year old blind girl

@@thehiddenninja3428 yeah 😂
Well at least they don’t treat her like a handicap and more like a person that can read and write LOL
This makes me wonder...can blind people actually learn to write?
@@jinhunterslay1638 They learn in Braille and use special equipment to read/write/type such as screen-reading software and a special kinda Braille keyboard with stubs that protrude and retract. (Sorry idk the name of the keyboard :3 )
Toph kissing Suki and then “you can go ahead and let me drown now” is the best joke in this show and you can’t change my mind
I love how both katara and sokka try to show toph a piece of paper by whipping it out in her face and expecting her to read it and give them an answer. And how it was the exact same sheet of paper twice.
And even the "dramatic reveal" sound effect which ends up falling completely flat is hilarious.

When azula sassily remembers something the whole group keeps forgetting
Because it's easier for her, the party treats her like one of their own, and Toph Largely isn't hampered by her lack of sight, so it's easy to forget that she Actually lacks sight when you do things you'd normally do in social situations
Pikaboo I’ll role your whole head

I actually missed that the first time, thought it was weird. Guess I'm just like the rest of the group for forgetting that she was blind :^)
i love how it's instant, like Katara's hands come up almost as soon as Toph gets a hand on it.
