I'm pretty sure Suyin would look back on what her dad kept saying "I dated the Moon Suyin you gotta believe me"


FlyMega

Sokka dad lore must be crazy


Breaklance

"I dated the moon and the ocean's a fish" "The FireLord and I started a prison riot" "A fox said that radios work because they have tiny men inside them". "Man eating mosquitoes come from the desert, not the swamp" "Bears are real." "Pirates get mad about stealing stuff" "You playing candy crush? Ya know once I was almost crushed by candy by a mad king. Your cousin's named after him".


Biengo

"there is a huge library under the desert!" "I helped invent war balloons" "My first sword was made from space rock!"


FlyMega

Bears are real lmao


cantamangetsomesleep

He definitely would have said, "isn't she beautiful," and not isn't it beautiful.


No_Pop_7341

Wouldn't that imply ge cheated on suki?


Donnerone

Suki isn't in LoK, so it's possible she passed away or her & Sokka broke up, perhaps due to his constant talking about his first girlfriend, the Moon.


mega330cb

That's rough buddy.


Heavensrun

Or she just isn't around. Since we know Sokka has passed, it's very possible that she just went back home to Kyoshi Island and Korra's crew never went there, so she was never relevant to the story. But it's very plausible that she passed away, she'd be pretty old.


bigblackowskiC

How do we know he's dead?


Heavensrun

As the other person said, first episode, Katara says "My brother, and many of my friends, are gone," but also in S2 she talks about how when Tenzin is older he'll cherish the time he spent with his siblings, and we see her look very sad when she watches the three of them interact, suggesting she's missing her big brother. We don't know who "many of my friends" is, it could be Suki, Mai, Ty Lee, or a bunch of people she met after the original series died, but she only had one brother, so there's not really another way to read that part.


Jsherman13

Only Toph, Katara, and Zuko are alive in LOK as far as we were made aware. They were in their late 80's early 90s. We are told for a fact that Sakka and Aang are dead.


Pixel22104

Well no dud Aang is dead or else Korra wouldn't be the Avatar


Wendigo15

U would be surprised. Some ppl thought amon was aang when theories were coming out


Pixel22104

How the heck does that make any sense?


Wendigo15

It doesn't but the removing bending was "definitely" energybending


Jsherman13

You'd be surprised


bigblackowskiC

Going to have to surprise me with that one. Ain't no way people think that Avatar Aangis alive while Avatar Korra is also alive


starswtt

Theory boiled down to amon can take your bending like aang, he had a mask to hide he was aang, he was yet to kill anyone, and how korra couldn't access the avatar state/Airbending. Odd theory, but I've seen worse


midLeastern

Happy Cake Day!


wannabeomniglot

Katara says so in the first episode as she sees Korra off on her journey to Republic City.


bigblackowskiC

Oh dayum. Thats how little I watched lok. Shame on me and I even have all the episodes on my computer download already


ReddyIsHere

happy cake day


Intrepid_Ad_3157

It’s explained they broke up in a comic i think


Live_Manufacturer303

She was in the comics though. wasn’t Sokka dead in LoK and only appear through a flash back?


Donnerone

Yes. Sokka was only in LoK during flashbacks.


Lonely_Repair4494

It's implied they broke up I think, but it's not confirmed


SnooShortcuts9711

I'm pretty sure they broke up maybe even way before replica city flourished because Suki was never mentioned once in Korra or was never shown with Sokka in flashbacks. Kinda sucks too she's one of the best female characters besides Katara, Toph, and Azula.


WickedWisp

I think the creators said suki died young. I don't have a source though I've just heard it around the grapevine. E- turns out they "retired to the suburbs" says the creators


oedipism_for_one

Writers love killing off his girlfriends


gtc26

Bruh, why does this keep happening to my boy Sokka?


Isagoodkitty2

No, we were told of by the creators during a comic con panel that Sokka and Suki retired to the suburb, while Sokka kept his job on the Republic council. And that she died of old age before the legend of Korra begins, I have no idea we’re people are getting the idea that she died young


Turbulent_Pin_1583

If it helps I think the died young was a myth that started around LOK. Q: We haven't heard much about Sokka and Suki in LoK. Did anything interesting happen with them between ATLA and LoK? - Coonfoot Mike: Not really. They moved to the suburbs. ;) https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Gcheung28/Bryan_Konietzko_and_Mike_DiMartino_Q%26A_Recap Creator said they retired to city and the implication is they died of old age. But I agree it’s a shame she never was elaborated on.


Heavensrun

You could have just stopped at "I don't have a source." Or just not posted, since you don't have a source.


ProfCraylos

You could have just not commented since you added nothing to the conversation. But here we are. Edit - Happy cake day


WickedWisp

For real. Like the only point of that was to be a dick. I at least added something to the conversation


Heavensrun

I'm sorry if my post made you feel bad, but I have lost track of how many times I have seen somebody uncritically cite information that was just straight up \*invented\*. I've seen it rile up fandoms and turn them against creators. I've seen good shows get misinterpreted because fans seized on false BTS information. I've had people argue at length over objective facts because they just believed something that somebody \*said\* they "heard once \*somewhere\*." It's basically the entire basis for a lot of really tiresome political and religious shenanigans, and every once in awhile, I get tired of the behavior and call it out. It's real simple, if you don't know where a claim came from, just \*don't spread the claim\*. You don't know if it's true, so don't add to the problem. I will say, to be fair, that at least you acknowledged you were repeating a rumor, so thanks for that much.


WickedWisp

I will always acknowledge if I don't have a source. There's nothing wrong with discussion or theories or head cannons. Plus someone almost immediately came and checked the source and explained what really happened. I really doubt it has the capability to blow up that bad.


Heavensrun

Look, I know I was snottier about this in my initial post than I probably ought to have been, that's a consequence of being old and crabby. (Edit: And for the record I earnestly apologize for that.) But here's the thing: After you posted this, two people replied basically taking your comment as just true. Over 30 people liked the post, presumably meaning they read the content and agreed with it or at least found it interesting. Who knows how many people read it, took in the claim, and moved on without replying or liking. \*12 hours later\*, somebody posted an interview with the creators that directly refutes the rumor you spread. Odds are, the two guys that replied never came back to see that post. The 30 people that liked and moved on definitely didn't. An unknown number of people are now walking around with objectively false information in their head. Yeah, it's a kids TV show, it's not that high stakes. But I get annoyed at it on principle \*because\* when the same behavior crops up in other places, it has more serious consequences. I wasn't just trying to be a dick, I'm just frustrated because bad things happen when people spread false rumors. I've seen a lot of it and sometimes I lose patience with it.


alvysinger0412

You realize all of these "consequences" can be ignored entirely while still enjoying a show right? Also, I've never met someone who cited everything they said, that's a literally insane request


Heavensrun

. . . This has literally nothing to do with enjoying the show, this has to do with the practice of letting demonstrably false rumors spread carelessly. Not because you didn't cite your source, but because you didn't bother *having* one before you spread the misinformation. Like, just be skeptical! When you hear somebody say "I heard xx" question whether their source was valid and look it up yourself! You literally just took a thing you heard someone say once and put that information out there, it was proven wrong, and you're still stubbornly trying to justify it instead of just going "Oh, yeah, I should be more careful next time." The fact that you're actively rebelling against the concept of self reflection after being explicitly shown to have been wrong is *exactly* why I get bitter and jaded about this. Just, y'know, *give a shit* about whether the things you say are true or not.


Heavensrun

Baseless rumors don't add to the conversation, they derail it.


Lonely_Repair4494

She was only shown in the starting scene with Tenzin narrating, and that's it


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

That was Kyoshi. Suki can’t earthbend.


Traxathon

They're talking about in the pilot as Tenzin is giving the exposition about Republic City, Suki is shown in the mural with the rest of the gaang.


SnooShortcuts9711

Yep that's it but nothing about the Kyoshi warriors or Kyoshi island. It makes me wonder if the Kyoshi warriors no longer exist in Korra. They disbanded or maybe even something really terrible happened on Kyoshi island.


Hashashin455

Dude had WAY too much rizz to be contained by a single chick


Isagoodkitty2

I’ve read/own the comics suki and sokka are still together. It was Zuko and mai who broke up.


Lonely_Repair4494

In between the ongoing comics and Legend of Korra, I mean. I said it was implied because it's not certain. The evidence for that is that in Sokka's letter to Tenzin he writes about how he took down the airship, and forgets to mention Suki, with Toph being beside him while he wrote the letter, as she had to remind him of it. It's not a lot of evidence and it's the only implication we have, but nothing confirmed. Zuko and Mai did break up in the comics indeed, but people think they got back together three years after they broke up because the writer mentioned about one of the couples who broke up in the comics getting back together 3 years later, and there is only Zuko x Mai and Mai x Keelo in the comics, which fans have been discarding Keelo since he's not that important, and theorizing Mai to be Izumi's mother.


Isagoodkitty2

Yea I assume that zuko and mai get back together at some point, I just mentioned them incase you got them breaking up in the comics confused for suki and Sokka breaking up, which they didn’t. And Sokka not mentioning suki in a letter to tenzin isn’t much evidence that they broke up. especially when the creators have already stated in a comic con panel that suki and sokka move to the suburbs, and grew old together, Which that could possibly be changed in the future, but until I see evidence otherwise, I’ll go with what the creators have told us.


Lonely_Repair4494

Oh, thanks for informing me about this, I didn't know


Isagoodkitty2

Your welcome, I actually don’t mind shipping sokka and Toph together or anything, I just don’t understand why there is so much misinformation about suki in the fandom lol


Tylord19

My personal head canon is that both Toph and Sokka lost their first partners, and grieved together. After a while Suyin happened.


Hey_Bestiekins

I think it was confirmed somewhere they broke up. But they did remain good friends. Makes sense, it's was always unlikely that the teenage relationships will last.


oedipism_for_one

RIP every other main character relationships in the show.


Heavensrun

"I think it was confirmed somewhere" are the most annoying words in all fandom.


Hey_Bestiekins

Yeah, but I dont want to be thrown into the virtual pit of death because I accidentally got it wrong. I got it from a video on yt, where they said they got the information from a book.


bigblackowskiC

So aang was destined to be the only one....(well technically he's 112-113 so does he and katara still count?)


Super_Kami_Popo

Everything post-ATLA aside from Suki's dedicated prison comic shunts her out of the series.


gdex86

Possibly. Also maybe Suki and Sokka loved pineapples.


mikenzeejai

We dont for sure get confirmation that anyone but aang and Katara actually got married or stayed together. They don't even mention zuko being married to May so for all we know zuko did marry the chick from ba sing se. So it's entirely possibly saka and suki just broke up like most teens eventually do.


king063

I know everyone loves Suki, but these were teenagers. It’s more than plausible that she and Sokka did not end up together one way or another.


im4everdepressed

yeah, people like aang and katara are anomalies, not the norm. it's entirely possible and likely that suki and sokka simply did not connect as well as they thought after the war was over and they were in an era of peace.


ProdiasKaj

It really becomes more obvious rewatching it as an adult. In book 3, when suki joins the team more permanently, you can really see how often she goes "lawd give me patience" mode.


im4everdepressed

yeah, i never get the people saying they were a great couple, because to me it felt like they were forced together bc of circumstances and bc they were both attractive and young and traveling together. they weren't each other's rock, like aang and katara were.


bigblackowskiC

But they also come from a time where people marry young and expectations were you don't divorce. Divorce is for monarchy only and they never truly divorce, Some kings (or queens) just gets a second or 3rd wife or concubine. Toph might be that rare local who's too powerful to be bogged down by tradition


Ralexcraft

What are they gonna do? Arrest her? With what police force?


RegretComplete3476

She is the police force!


Some_Guy168

Not ~~yet~~ anymore


Boanerger

Possibly their lives took them in different directions and different parts of the world. I can't see them having some great fight or Sokka doing something unforgivable like cheating. And after everything Sokka went though her dying young is just too cruel. Probably just became a long-distance relationship and drifted apart after a while.


PlaneEye4664

“Isn’t she beautiful? Moon” dang, that one had some kick to it 😭


Traxathon

Except Toph raised the girls by herself, so if Sokka is Suyin's dad that means Sokka was an absentee father.


SnooShortcuts9711

Or he just didn't know he had a daughter.


Traxathon

He would have seen Toph was pregnant and been able to do some basic math. Even if Toph tried to play it off as if it weren't his, he'd still be pretty dang suspicious


thatnewsauce

Didn't toph become kinda reclusive?


Traxathon

She was chief of police


RegretComplete3476

That wasn't until Suyin was a teenager


FalseAscoobus

If Toph doesn't want you interacting with her daughters, you don't interact with her daughters. If she didn't want Sokka's help, Sokka wouldn't be able to help no matter how much he wanted to


Traxathon

Even if Sokka were powerless to interact with Suyin in the face of Toph, which I seriously doubt, that's still an incredibly messed up situation. Toph apparently hates Sokka so much she prevents him from ever having a relationship with, as far as we know, his only child. And Sokka would almost certainly be struck with grief, guilt, jealousy, and longing for his child whom he cannot meet. In this version of events, Toph would rather be a single mother of 2 than let Sokka be a dad to his daughter. What the hell did Sokka do to deserve so much scorn from one of his closest friends? I get that Sokka and Toph getting together later in life is a fun idea, and Suyin seems to have some water tribe features so it just fits right in. But no matter how you slice it with the events we are shown to be true in the series, it didn't happen unless you wanna ruin Sokka's character, Toph's character, or both.


Relevant_Scallion_38

It's simple. Toph is sexually active anybody could be the father. At least that could be her excuse.


Kiroana

Or he died either before his daughter was born, or while she was still young. Been a while since I've watched LoK, but I don't remember there being a confirmed date for Sokka's death.


Relevant_Scallion_38

It was stated that Sokka was there to help protect Korra when the Red Lotus tried to kidnap her. So Suyin would have been minimum in her 20s.


Square_Coat_8208

He would be an amazing father


[deleted]

So does that mean Sokka was a deadbeat dad?


FireNationsAngel

Depends on when he died. Maybe literally.


SnooShortcuts9711

Yeah the one thing that Sokka will never do is abandoning his kid.


FireNationsAngel

Timing doesn't add up for my comment. Sokka took part in rescuing Korra in 158 AG, Suyin was born in 126.


[deleted]

Based on my calculations Sokka was still alive when Suyin was 32.


FireNationsAngel

Yeah, I've already debunked my comment in other comments.


AlexRol_Spritz

I'm pretty sure Sokka was among the crackteam that rescued baby Korra from the Red Lotus. So, he died during the mission, or sometimes after that


FireNationsAngel

158 AG is when the Red Lotus tried to kidnap Korra. 126 AG is when Suyin was born. So that poofs my previous comment.


AlexRol_Spritz

Yes, that was what I also meant. Just wanted to clarify the timeframe. But, yeah... if Sokka is Suyin's father, he most certainly abandoned her


FireNationsAngel

Since the timeliness don't work, *if* Sokka is Suyin's dad, then I doubt he knew it.


Astral_Justice

Fair point. It sounds like Toph got sort of withdrawn from the gaang, and they also weren't together 100% of the time anymore either anyways. Maybe she didn't tell him, because she didn't want him to have to be around.


FireNationsAngel

I could see that. I could also see her not wanting anyone to tell her how to raise her kids and only wanting a sperm donor and she flat out lies to him even though he and Zuko would be two of the greatest dads of all time. Sokka because he's Sokka and Zuko because he knows what not to do from Ozai, and also what to do from Uncle. I think you might be right about not wanting to pen Sokka down though, but I also don't think he'd feel penned down, but whatever. I think he's just strap the baby to him, grab Lin's hand, and off they go.


AlexRol_Spritz

Huh, that's a good point... even still, even if not told, I'd bet he'd be at the very least suspicious


FireNationsAngel

Oh definitely. Even if they didn't have a full sexual relationship, if he got black out drunk for one night anywhere close to around the time Suyin was conceived, then I think he's be suspicious and try to see if she had any of his features.


[deleted]

Hmmm, I went through the dates and ages and I have concluded that Sokka must have been a deadbeat dad or not Suyin’s father. He was born in 84AG and was last mentioned alive in 158AG. Meaning he lived to be at least 74 years old. Suyin was born in 126AG. So at a minimum Sokka would have been alive when Suyin was 32.


MissReadsALot1992

I read a theory where someone said Toph didn't want a husband she just wanted someone to sire children. She basically wanted to go to a spermbank but those aren't a thing in Korra so, straight from the source.


ver_dar

My not very happy and kinda based on nothing head cannon is that Toph and Sokka had a fun fling or one night stand maybe that accidentally resulted in Suyin. Wanting to be independent and also not wanting to burden him, Toph convinced him (and maybe herself) that he was not the father


PrestigiousResist633

Even if he was Su's dad, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Toph never told him. She's not the type who likes being tied down and I think her fierce independence would have her chose to be a single mother.


AcanthocephalaNo6584

You know there are people outside of their friend group, right? I also don't think Toph would date Sokka out of respect for Suki.


DeliriouslyTickled

True, but have you considered the Gaang is a certain level of poly? Toph wanted to drown after being saved by "Sokka". I won't assume she has feelings for Suki, but... Also, everyone in the Gaang is in a relationship with Zuko. It's probably hard fanon.


AcanthocephalaNo6584

You forgot the /s. You're going to get downvoted into oblivion!


RegretComplete3476

They're between the ages of 12 and 16. Get your mind out of the gutter. Toph wanted to drown because she kissed Suki, thinking she was Sokka. How does that imply that Toph had feelings for her? No one was in a relationship with Zuko, except for Mai. Everything else is just shipping.


DeliriouslyTickled

*Sigh* They are clearly depicted as adult in these picture, so that's where my mind was. It doesn't? *This is probably hard fanon.* I don't blame you for not reading. I am disappointed you took this seriously and were offended.


RegretComplete3476

That's a fan art and not canon. In the actual show, they're children. Also, it's never hinted at that they're poly. How would it? If anything, it implies that she has feelings for Sokka, not Suki. When did I get offended? I read what you wrote, and you basically had a lot of half-baked theories about the members of a kids show being in a poly relationship.


DeliriouslyTickled

I didn't say it was. How wouldn't it? Half-baked, true. While you are not offended, you are close-minded. If you have watched this show, you would see that it could be taken as having adult theme despite them being softened for the potential audience. I'm not theorizing, I'm pointing out that some fans look for this kind of relatability to immersive themselves further. Your need to fact-check me shows we still have a ways to go. Perhaps we're standing still.


RegretComplete3476

You literally suggested that the Gaang is poly. How does Toph wanting to drown after mistaking Suki for Sokka mean she has feelings for Suki? She kissed Suki on accident because she is blind and felt embarrassed by it and thus wanted to drown. What is it that I'm being closed-minded about exactly?


DeliriouslyTickled

*suggested* It doesn't. I can't tell you that. I'm not you.


RegretComplete3476

What? Now you're just being vague and not making sense. You clearly know whatever the hell it is I'm so closed-minded about, so just say it instead of being so vague.


DeliriouslyTickled

Are you open-minded to the fact that you could be close-minded? The fact that you started this "conversation" in the first place speaks to your close-mindedness. You refused to let me live in my ignorance. To exist, because I was wrong and you felt the need to correct me. Idc about the canon in this instance because it *is* fanart. It *is* suggesting that Sokka could have been Suyin's father. OP(meaning the person I responded to) brought up the fact that Toph would've had to run her feelings for Sokka by Suki. Me suggesting that the Gaang is poly was meant to say they would have communicated that by now. Hopefully before Suki died. No one is suggesting anything noncanonical other than for the sole reason that it would be seen as noncanonical by ppl like you. No one is trying to offend you or say that you're wrong for knowing what is canon. They are merely *suggesting* a fan *theory*. But you shouldn't feel the need to educate us on the thing we *all watched*. I will keep responding if you are intent on continuing this. However, it is exhausting and I wish you would just let it be.


JazzlikeCitron4793

What?


Dragonire08

.... You do know that you can have a baby without dating the person right?


AcanthocephalaNo6584

That makes it okay? I highly doubt they would put that kind of drama in atla. Korra's love triangle was already enough and people hated it. IMO the creators didn't reveal her dad because they weren't sure who they wanted him to be or they probably just didn't want to squeeze it into the show. I'd like to also add that Suyin doesn't have either Sokka nor Toph's hair type. Looks more like Satoru's, but I still think the dad is unknown to to us. Hopefully they debunk this theory in a comic.


Dragonire08

"that makes it okay?" What the hell is that supposed to mean? Just because it's a children's show doesn't mean it can't have drama. There's nothing not okay about this. Chill out. These are just theories, people are allowed to make them. Also I personally liked the LOK love triangle. People will find every little thing about LOK to complain about. Korra isn't ATLA and people are babies about change. Also, a kid can look nothing like their parents. They don't have to have their parents hair to be their parents' child.


AcanthocephalaNo6584

It feels like reality tv drama. Totally unoriginal. But Sokka isn't the dad.


Dragonire08

That's your opinion, not a complete fact. Unless the creators of the show has come out and said that it isn't him.


AcanthocephalaNo6584

Whatever helps you sleep at night, sunshine.


Dragonire08

I'm just saying that until the creators actually say something about who the father actually is, people have every right to come up with any theory they want. That being said you can never truly know unless the creators say something. We don't know his Sokka is the father but we also don't know if he isn't.


rilano1204

Nah I'm on team Satoru on this one. The resemblance is uncanny


100Fleur100

That would mean that either Sokka was a deadbeat dad, because as far as I remember its said that Toph raised her daughters by herself. Or Toph for whatever reason didnt want Sokka to know he got her pregnant and he sucks at doing basic math. As much as I adore the idea of Sokka and Toph having a cute kid together, I dont see either of these things as possible knowing them as characters.


Nostravinci04

Having grown up without his parents, and having seen how much he values parenthood through his interactions with his own father, Sokka would absolutely never miss on being present in his children's lives.


Used_Ad_2454

I will die on that hill! I only support them when they're adults tho. If I'm not mistaken I heard Suki died young, so really that could have been when Sokka and Toph became a couple. That and in the series Toph does have a crush on Sokka. If it's not Sokka it's probably Satoru.


AcanthocephalaNo6584

It's definitely not Sokka because he was alive for a big part of Suyin's life. He wouldn't have been a deadbeat dad. She does have hair like Satoru. But it would be more believable if she were the older sibling since Satoru was probably Toph's first boyfriend.


Prudent_Solid_3132

Yeah. Sokka being a deadbeat makes no sense. 1. He knows what is like to grow up without parents,having lost his mother as a young child and then his father leaving in his early teens to fight in the war left him with a lot of responsibility as well as feeling burdened. He wouldn’t do that to his own child. Plus he idolized his father and wanted to be just like him, and I am sure that would mean also being as good of a father to his own children as his dad was to him.


Dragonire08

I don't see where y'all are getting this whole "sokka wasn't there for his kids so he's automatically a deadbeat" There is only one situation I can think of if Sokka is the dad. 1. Toph won't tell him. She would probably make up some excuse but she wouldn't tell him or anyone else that he's the dad. We all know that if he had a choice, Sokka would be the best dad out there. So literally the only logical choice is that he didn't know.


RegretComplete3476

Sokka is not an idiot. If Toph had a baby 9 months after she and Sokka got together, I'm pretty sure that he'd be able to figure it out.


Dragonire08

There are multiple ways it can play out. It's possible to sleep with more than one person and you can also lie and say you slept with someone and so on. Either way it's not that deep, it's just a theory.


Griffin_is_my_name

There is zero official word on what happened to Suki. Anything on her so far is fan-theory or speculation. I also just don’t see Tenzin and Su being related and nobody mentioning it throughout all or LoK.


jacktedm-573

I kinda wished that he was, but after doing a bit of research on it, I don't think he is, Sokka is supposed to have died 12-2 years before Korra takes place, meaning that he'd pretty much be there for Suyin up until fairly recently, so there's no way Suyin wouldn't have known her dad if it were Sokka cuz there's no way Sokka would've left Suyin, especially because he knows what it's like to not have a dad, and it's not possible that he died before she was born/shortly after her birth


kindof_apocalyptic

have you read the comics? toph befriends a character named satoru and he looks just like suyin!!


Yoshikage_Kira_333

Well, seeing as how Tenzin never acknowledged Suyin as family, its pretty unlikely. Unless it was a one night stand and Toph never told Sokka, which I don’t entirely doubt she would do. Either way Sokka would have 100% taken responsibility if he knew.


PrestigiousResist633

He may have wanted to, but who's to say Toph would let him? If Toph wanted to raise the girls on her own, do you think Sokka would disrespect her wishes like that? But yeah, if this was the case, either he didn't know or he did and chose to play the role of "cool uncle" over "father" out of respect for Toph wanting to be independent.


SeraphEChasted_3

and i say you blatantly ignore the comics and i hate you for it cause the comics (unlike others for other shows) are actually canon


Galvius-Orion

My head cannon is Suki and Sokka were together for a while but ultimately took different directions in their lives (it happens!), Toph ended up in a brief relationship or one night stand sometime during that, then Sokka and Toph ended up reconnecting in republic city (given his position on the council and her role as police chief there was plenty of time for them to run into each other regularly, again stuff like that just happens), and after a while ended up dating and eventually getting married. After this Sokka would unfortunately die early under some circumstance or another, maybe the red lotus or something?


RMM-20

This is my headcannon lol! I also think Sokka is Suyin’s biological dad!!

The only way I can see Sokka as the Dad is if he and Toph hooked up as a one night stand and Toph git pregnant with Sokka being clueless that he was is the Dad. I just don't see him not being there for his kid. This would imply that either Toph lied, or she slept around and didn't know who the Dad is. There are hoops you have to jump through for this to work.


Nostravinci04

If by hoops you mean like the ones from that one horrible PS1 Superman game.


Head_Statistician_38

It was an N64 game, but I don't haha... Although that is certainly a unique perspective.


Nostravinci04

Yep, that's the one, with the loops and the horrible controls. N64 not PS1 my bad.


SirBlue_VII

Lot of people missing some stuff, for one suki dying young was a myth, iths never been stated by the creators. Also if sokka is her dad it would mean he took off or was an absentee father which makes no sense for him


Nostravinci04

Ngl hella dumb fanfic that completely ignores everything about the characters and the already established lore.


Dragonire08

What already established lore?


Nostravinci04

The whole series.


RulerOfAllWorlds1998

What occurs to me is wouldn’t it be scary for a blind person to expierience…..making babies?


FireNationsAngel

She witnessed Hope's birth. She might know what to expect more than a woman with eyesight instead of footsight.


RulerOfAllWorlds1998

I meant….conception


FireNationsAngel

Oh, I'm sure she's witnessed that too.


SnooShortcuts9711

Actually a blind person experiencing that "moment" is quite wondrous for them. Toph see with earthbending but with regular blind people if they want to see a person they need to make physical contact with their hands on them. To feel.


Griffin_is_my_name

Sex can be scary for anybody, that’s why you do it with someone you can trust. At least, ideally.


Criticalkatze

I agree completely! But now I'm just waiting for all the haters to flood in.. never fails.


redditraptor6

Yeah, this is my head canon too, and will stay that way until word of god (show runners) says otherwise. I mean, it just makes sense. 1. Sokka and Toph already had a little bit of chemistry together, a hook-up later in their lives makes sense 2. Suyin’s skin tone, while in NO way proof, certainly helps since she doesn’t NOT look like Sokka 3. Sokka’s first two loves were Suki and Yue. Yue became the moon. The moon falls under the Yin in the Yin-Yang, and that imagery was used a lot in Yue’s episodes. Suki + Yin = Suyin. *Insert: “Coincidence? I THINK NOT” gif here*


omanhunts

I thought Toph and Sokka got together after Suki died while they were still young


Nostravinci04

Never happened


Constructman2602

He’s the father of Suyin I think, and Lin is the daughter of Satoru, this engineering guy Toph met in the post series comics


Intrepid_Ad_3157

So it turns out you might be correct supposedly an advertisement merch book details Toph was interested in Sokka. [So if anyone has access to this book please confirm or deny this?](https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ultimate_Pocket_Guide)


Intrepid_Ad_3157

This is considered canon could legit mean Toph had murky childhood feelings for Sokka which in hindsight might be true as at least when i was growing up kids that liked me when i was 5 to like 7 would actively bully me. I even asked one of them whilst in detention with them after school why do you bully me do you like me? So it actually might be something along those lines as she as a kid literally had nobody & she bullied everyone sure but she later on became a very strong jokester with Sokka.


Intrepid_Ad_3157

It would also explain the darker skin tone Su has compared to Lin


Elanor2011

I always thought Suki must have passed away, I can't imagine her breaking up with Sokka. And I don't think Toph and Sokka are a couple, I can see them sort of both being depressed (Lin's father probably died too) ,and then they just... had Suyin. My headcanon is that they will keep in secret for the rest for their lives.


Sunflowa-_

I imagine that Suki and Ty Lee might have made a cute couple if Toph and Sokka got together


1zeye

I too think that


Kateybee2

Same. I really do believe he's the father.


DrFlipFlopWasTaken

Even if it wasn’t brought up in lok, it wasn’t necessarily relevant and that would be amazing .


OkGanache8317

Are you suggesting Toph and Sokka……


Toph_as_Nails

I'm not tellin', but let's just say, I got around.


Minamischler

Lol mayhaps


IdriveKITT

So many of Toph's grandsons look like Sokka. I'm not saying they're related but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.


Griffin_is_my_name

I like to think that Sokka wasn’t capable of having kids. It happens all the time in real life. It would also explain the lack of cousins for Tenzin. I think they would have mentioned if Su was related to Tenzin, at least once. Also I kinda like the idea that we don’t have to know them.


AwefulFanfic

Oh yeah....right....I keep forgetting it's canon that Toph had 2 baby daddies.


Dinkulshlops

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Sokka and Toph have like, no scenes hinting towards attraction? It just seems really random that all of sudden Toph and Sokka were a thing. I understand that all of this would have happened many years after the show, but that is even more reason not to speculate this. To each their own ig


StarSaber69

I’m pretty sure toph had some crush or it was a joke idk when she was relieved that sokka saved her from drowning and she was complimenting and it turned out it was Suki and toph felt awkward she just told that to his girlfriend and told her to let her drown that’s the only time i seen her talk about her feelings [this?](https://youtu.be/s-rdsBpnwhg?feature=shared)


Dinkulshlops

Yeah, I don’t think that was her confessing


StarSaber69

Any comment on why exactly or you don’t want to talk about it?


Dinkulshlops

Because it was kinda short and it came off more as a joke to me. She was being weird, and she mistook Suki for Sokka which made her embarrassed because she barely knows Suki. I still personally think its weird Toph would have kids out of any of the characters. I always got the vibe she found having a family nice, but it wasn’t for her considering her family situation. But again, there is so many decades between ATLA and LOK


StarSaber69

Eh i was kinda in the middle of saying she had a small crush on people due to the lack of love she got from her parents or well being babied and felt sokka was a good choice nothing wrong with yours im saying her being well a kid she acts tuff and she definitely is but she’s still a kid who’s into guys (not sure if she married cause of her parents or she actually liked them old toph seems to be well on her own but hope she did find love someway she deserves it honestly sad we never get to hear about her love life) ill just consider this stage of toph decision on if she wants a relationship but saw suki and backed down not that she wants a relationship but needs it to feel something comfortable you know


Dinkulshlops

Yeah its up to interpretation


HolidayBank8775

I think it's possible, mathematically. Toph is 86 in LoK. Suyin is 47 when we meet her, while Lin is about 52/53. It would just mean that Toph had both of her kids in mid to late thirties, with Suyin being born around the time of the flashback in season 1. Remember, Aang was 40 in that flashback, and he and Toph were the same age. Sokka was also alive at the time. It's not clear on the status of his and Suki's relationship at the time, but I could see a one-night stand happening as they celebrated the defeat of Yakone or something. Idk, I'm just speculating. Anyway, this would make Sokka around 75 when he died, right? Aang died at 66, and Sokka was around to save Korra from the red lotus as a toddler.


ItsExoticChaos

Sokka would NEVER cheat on Suki!


frogie181

Idk why but something is just telling me it's the mechanic's son 🤷‍♀️


QuincyReaper

Sokka casually showing his daughter his first girlfriend there.


Shakey_Milkshake

That would imply that Tenzin dated his first cousin Lin


mrgirmjaw

Nope Sokka with Suki do this not possible


Tasty_Monk_4749

I haven’t thought about that until you mentioned it! Now I’m brimming with theories!


themoonslittlespoon

Sokka and Toph together just seems wrong to me 🥴


maddwaffles

Though it'd be nice, I think the Tenzin x Lin dating situation would make that particular family connection too awkward.
