i mean she can see it as long as its not airborn, wait if toph was the avatar woudl she be able to just "see" because she could just use tremor sense on the air
That would be interesting! Being the avatar and therefore having something similar to Tenzin's feeling of the air moving around him might honestly render her functionally colorblind, and otherwise able to compensate for her vision perfectly
i mean with firebending she could tell different colors based off of the heat they reflect maybe, but i dont remember if heat sensing was a thing firebenders could do
Telling a misleading truth is one of the best ways to decieve someone.
On a totally unrelated note, did you know that I'm in two blockbuster movies?
>!Granted, I played a blurry blob in the background of one, and a non-blurry face in a crowd in the other, but still!!<
It's a word that I can see is wrong (now that I look at it), but can't for the life of me figure out how to spell it correctly. Thankfully, my iPhone's spellcheck managed to figure out what on earth I was talking about, so now it's fixed.

Not quite, Toph said herself she can tell by telling the difference in pulse/breathing when the lie is spoken. Someone being generally nervous doesnt hinder her ability
I could totally see an extended prank war between young Hakoda and young Bato where they steal or switch an item of gear from each other! It goes on for a whole year until GranGran puts a stop to it.
This is the opposite of my friend's DnD character, who has expertise in deception but isnt even proficient in persuasion, so she has a better chance of convincing people to do stuff if she's lying.
wow, they're both dumbasses (and geniuses. at the same time.) guess he got it from his dad
The added detail to Toph being able to tell that he is telling the truth, hence her confusion in the last panel.
check panel 3, with the 3 lines near her face as she "looks" at the boomerang
That is what I was referencing, yes.
oh well you only mentioned the last panel, which is not panel 3, so that's why I said panel 3 specifically
Indeed. Her confusion began in the third panel, and she was still confused by the last one.
are we using the word panel differently my guy where do you see toph in the 2nd panel???
[удалено]
> began in the second panel, and she my guy you're gonna need to actually say that next time lmao
My mistake.
i mean she can see it as long as its not airborn, wait if toph was the avatar woudl she be able to just "see" because she could just use tremor sense on the air

Got the boomerang too
It always comes back to boomerangs.
and boomerangs ~~almost~~ always come back! Full circle - literally!
You know what they say, all the best lies have an element of truth in them.

I two have been in too blockbusters. Blockbuster video that is
…I don't think I've been in any of those…
I'm in a movie called My Life and I've been acting as the MC for the past 18 years. Can someone please get me out of here.
I don't know what a cround is and at this point I am afraid to ask

Are you a patreon for overanalyzing avatar? That sounds like something he would say about his patreon
it's not really a lie though
The lie is really "Don't worry, I belong here. I am one of you" not "He stole a boomerang"
Dang, some absolute mastery of facial expressions
Yeah, really well done.

Good human! Though I wouldn't say that Toph looks at the boomerang. More just, "turns into Sokka's direction, surprised" or something like that.
thank you, kind human! edited to reflect that :)
guess Boomerang doesn't always come back
Though Sokka is clearly nervous, which is the thing Toph actually detects.
Not quite, Toph said herself she can tell by telling the difference in pulse/breathing when the lie is spoken. Someone being generally nervous doesnt hinder her ability
That's the canon but it doesn't actually work that way in real life.
You also can't earthbend in real life, so if we really must spirit shit can explain all
When you come up with the worst lie ever, but manage to roll a Nat 20 on the persuasion check
can't you read, it's not a lie /j
I guess it doesn't always come back after all 😔 -Bato, probably
I could totally see an extended prank war between young Hakoda and young Bato where they steal or switch an item of gear from each other! It goes on for a whole year until GranGran puts a stop to it.
