I love that whenever Toph is somewhere where she can’t bend one of the gaang will offer her their arm so she can be safe. Sometimes it’s more obvious like Sokka taking her arm and leading her to safety during The Desert when Aang goes into the avatar state. But sometimes it’s a lot more subtle, like in the background in a bunch of shots of The Painted Lady, when she’s standing on wood over water, she’s holding onto Aang and he makes sure she doesn’t bump into anything.

Avatar gets a lot of credit for showing disabled people who are capable of being independent and doing things themselves but I think people tend to overlook that it also shows sometimes disabled people can’t do things, and that is valid and ok. and through that it also shows the responsibility allies should take in providing assistance to disabled people when its needed
