Alright, it is time for TOKO! Yes I know fangirls, you will all be disappointed and kill me. SECURITY! AHHH
I'm writing this at 2 in the morning. TOO MUCH DAMN HISTORY! OMFG I HAVE SCHOOL AT 8 O'CLOCK. IMA GET LIKE 4 HOURS OF SLEEP. AHHHHH
So, in conclusion, I'll make this quick.

1. Sexiness isn't a reason to ship - it's all about character compatibility
baby! (and Toko has plenty of that)
2. A young, blind girl certainatly should tear Zuko away from his self pity for
long enough to show some compassion (and perhaps some protectiveness as well)!
3. Seeing her win through her struggles being blind should gain some serious
respect from Zuko because that's what he's going through - and Zuko can't be
with someone he doesn't respect! ;) ... if you've noticed as well... he really
doesn't respect many people, so that list is going to be horribly short. :D
4. She's got a good head on her shoulders, like Iroh. So she'd know how to
treat him when he gets in a mood (who am I kidding? He's always in a mood!)
5. Iroh said that she sounds a lot like him! (nudge, nudge... wink, wink).
6. They can both talk about coming from noble families but living on the harsh,
unforgiving Earth Kingdom wilderness...
7. He'd be very amused at her nicknames for the Avatar (and Katara, and Sokka
for that matter).
8. Not only would she put up with Zuko in his angsty moods, she'd also get his
mind off it. Most probably by grinding his face into the dirt... but she might
be able to make him laugh (that'd be a momentous occasion).
9. Who else would find Zuko calling Iroh and the White Lotus crew - "old
gasbags" - humerous? Well, maybe Sokka... but Sozu is just too disturbing.
10. Zuko doesn't relate very well with chicks (do I have to paint a picture here
- Jun, Katara, Song?) and Toph isn't that great with guys either (at least with
her you can chalk it down to inexperience). Together - they're a perfect blend
of faux pars and bizarre, yet painful courtship!
11. Who doesn't want to see Zuko as Toph's whipping boy? It'd be so demeaning to
him, but oh, the laughs we'd get!
12.Azula beat up on poor Zu-zu when he was little, it's only natural he'd pick
someone else to take her place... (since he's used to it and all) of course,
13.Toph would be a lot nicer than Azula... plus, just ask Aang - Toph's "cruel to
be kind" method actually works. Maybe she could beat some of that humility he
so badly needs out of him...
14. In some way, I'm sure Zuko would be more comfortable with someone who
couldn't actually see him. In case anyone hasn't noticed by season two, he's
kinda impersonal and guarded (as his scar brings him much shame since it was
his father who gave it to him... painful memories... all that stuff)
15. Both of them veiw people without bending as kind of weak and pathetic,
showing their intolerance and immaturity (in a sense). So, I'm sure they'd
have a good time picking on people like Sokka!
16. As far as age goes, what's a few years when it's the perfect love/hate
relationship? Plus, as stated above... Zuko's not exactly Mr Mature. That's
what he has Iroh for! (if anyone shipped Haru/Katara... same age difference.
Just wait till Toph's 14 too!)
17. Neither of them are particularly emotional (not on a Katara scale... but with
family issues, yeah), although I'm sure at Iroh's death, they'd have a large
degree of understanding.
18. Zuko would totally love her abrash "self-assuredness". Reminds him of
someone he knows... ;)
19. They're both sore losers, are frustrated that people assume they are weak and
have a bit of a short fuse. Who better to understand the boy hungering so
badly to be understood - then someone who is just like him?
20. "Uncle Iroh is often a balance for Zuko's anger" and so would Toph be.
21. However people like Katara and Mai would just add more fuel to the fire, so to
speak from lack of understanding him.
22.Katara is too emotional for him, and Mai isn't emotional enough (more like
barely breathing) - yet Toph is tough, yet can have a slightly guarded
emotional side, just like him.
23. The only two to have other identities (cough symbolism cough)
Other romantic pairings won't kill the Toko pairing. Zuko could have a fling
with Katara and Toph could have a moment with Sokka... and there would still be
a chance of them coming to their senses and realizing they're meant to be
together! Or having a close friendship to turn into something more... (unless
Zuko gets married or something... which I'm betting ain't gonna happen anytime
soon).
24. She's noble (not to mention rich) enough to be Fire Lady. Much better than
the (practically worthless) peasant Katara.
25. They're the two most rockin' characters on the show! Think of how
unstoppable they'd be together!
