Tokka 100- 87. Life

I was standing around waiting for the others to get ready. Aang had just flown off the with fuzzball to go find Appa and we'd be following behind.

Then all of a sudden, I felt Suki walk toward where Sokka was packing up his stuff. The strange feeling of nervousness I'd been getting lately returned all of a sudden. I never used to feel this way. I've always been so confident, there was never any room for being nervous. It only started happening when I started...well...when...Sokka... Anyway, it had been turning into more of a panicked feeling ever since this girl Suki joined the group. I feel like there's something I'm missing out on...like there's something between them... Every time they get near eachother, my heart seems to skip a beat. What if she and Sokka...?

She's talking to him now. Saying something about last night. What happened last night? And then all of a sudden I feel it. Sokka's cut her off and kissed her. Sokka...kissed her. My mind's frozen. "You talk too much," he tells her, and pulls her in again.

I can't feel anything now...I just stand, rooted to the earth. I close my eyes...but even then I can't stop seeing them. I try to stop them, but the tear flow freely from my eyes. This isn't me...I don't cry. I'm Toph the Blind Bandit and I don't...I don't... Sokka you idiot. Why couldn't you tell me about her...why didn't you tell me...before I fell in love with you...?

Hey there all. 'Nother Tokka 100 pic for you. Had this one in mind for a long time, but just haven't gotten to it. Mostly because I figured the Sukka kiss would take a long time, but it wasn't really that bad. Did it last night and did the background and Toph today. I hope the beginning piece is alright. I felt like I should write something for it and I wanted to try first person perspective. It's not the best thing in the world, but I hope it's okay.

Oh yeah and this one's 'Life' because I couldn't find a better category. I guess it's because, stuff like this happens in life...and this is Toph's life. *is lame*

I had this idea a while ago, but then got super-inspired by this beautiful pic: [link]
I saw that and I knew that I wanted to draw my version of it. I was also inspired by a comment on the page. Someone said Toph wouldn't be able to see them kissing and someone else replied that she could feel them through Earthbending and even if she closed her eyes, she could still see them. I read that and wow...that's right. And really sad. I don't know if Toph really did see this, but it's quite possible. Also, I don't know if she'd cry, but really, I think she might. She puts on a tough front all the time, but really she is sensitive about some things. I think Sokka's one of those things.

I really love the way that Toph looks. I loved the drawing and I love the way the colored version looks too. I really like the Sukka kiss too(though you can't see it.) I think I'll upload the Sukka kiss as a seperate deviation in case you guys want to see it. It was interesting to do Toph's version of sight. Took a bit of work, but I think it turned out pretty good. I'm afraid that it's too dark, but I hope you guys can see it all right. The background isn't the best, but it's dark anyway I wanted to leave Toph in color because she's the one feeling what's going on and I wanted to enphasize her emotion.

This is probably the saddest Tokka pic I've done, but I really like it. This is one problem I have with Sukka. I'd hate to see poor Toph so sad. Then again, Suki'd be sad if Tokka happened...oh such confliction...anyway!

I hope you all enjoy this,
S'rac
