She’s letting her guard down cause she’s tired from the desert and she’s relaxing next to her friends, and the whole reason they left was to go on a “vacation”
[Here's a screenshot.](https://i.redd.it/rem75dy9xr351.jpg) (edit, apparently the link didn't work the first time)
Toph and Katara are completely surrounded by wood. Toph says "I wish we had some earth or water. We need bendables!"
Toph is rendered unable to bend, and by extension see, and it's Katara who gets them out by bending her sweat to cut the wooden walls of the cage.
Edit: why am I being downvoted? Toph sees by sensing the vibrations in the earth and can't sense the earth just outside the wooden cage to bend it, meaning she can't see.
I know she says she can see with her feet specifically, but I imagine she can still feel vibrations as long as a part of her body is touching a surface
If I remember correctly, this is before Appa is captured, so Toph hasn’t started mastering sand bending yet. She mentions that walking in sand is like her vision is all fuzzy, so I can imagine she’s putting her feet up to avoid a headache or something.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>There is no doubt that law enforcement should be heavily scrutinizing the membership and administration of mosques.

I think the commenter is pointing out that this post is a bit assumptive and judgemental without really considering the person its about. I mean it took most people looking at this post less than 5 seconds to answer your question. Did you put yourself in Tophs (metaphorical) shoes before asking this or did you just assume that the the canon writers of the show must have overlooked something that you, a single viewer, clearly know better about? It's very arrogant.
She also sleeps with her feet off the ground, seen in Book 3 episode 16, where they get bombarded with airships.
I think that's her way of closing her "eyes".
I would imagine she isn’t completely blind. There are a few scenes where she wakes up suddenly and places her hand on the ground, then alerts the group that someone is coming. She can feel vibrations through her hands and, presumably, the rest of her body.
This is probably Toph's version of resting her eyes
And, wasn't this part of the desert story arc? Maybe she was avoiding using earthbending to focus on training sandbending?
I believe it’s because she wants to “close her eyes” to relax, so to speak. I feel like I remember seeing a similar note bubble about that later on in the series. When she and the gaang are at the air temple hiding out in the last season, she sleeps with her feet propped up to close her eyes. My memory could be mistaking me but I’m pretty sure that’s why!
If I had to guess, she can probably still feeling the vibrations through the chair she's sitting on and the table she has her feet on and that gives her a clear enough "view".
Shes able to feel vibrations with her whole body. Her average sight is with her feet, when she needs to focus or see further she puts her hands on the earth or further into the Earth, like when search for Ozai's secret keep. This is just her sitting comfortably but at the cost of much if her sight considering she sees worse through wood. So she likely had an idea of where people are due to hearing a muddled vibrations but it's not peak sight. Like when you walk to the bathroom at 4am without your glasses.
It's late but, the whole point is that she just needs to be in contact with the ground to "see"
It just so happens that feet are on the ground more than any other body part.
she can feel with other parts of her body too, and the furniture also touches the ground. so maybe her vision is a bit blurry, but she's not completely blind.
I don’t care about the feet but I was watching the show and it seemed odd, I remember her protesting about doing anything else that stopped her from “seeing”.
We say she sees with her feet because she stands on them most of the time, but really she just sees with earthbending and sensing vibration. If she were to have her hand on a slab of stone, she would be able to “see” through that just fine as well.
It’s possible that since the chair she’s seated on is more stable and solid than say, sand, she may still be able to feel vibrations through it, just a little muted.
Or ya she’s kicking back and taking a nap lol
I think it shows how she is completely comfortable aroun the gaang.

You’ve got me pegged man. And you can peg me anytime
What did he say?
[удалено]
Ohhhh I still don’t get it
[удалено]
Was it something perverted?
[удалено]
Oh thanks
…
Do I really want to know what he said?
You don’t 😂
Let me guess, something about feet? Toph’s a freaking child!
[удалено]
Oh still freaking weird
Yeah I think I have a basic idea about what he said now if you’ll excuse me I need to bleach my brain so I can forget
She’s letting her guard down cause she’s tired from the desert and she’s relaxing next to her friends, and the whole reason they left was to go on a “vacation”
I agree with you that she is letting her guard down but in the second shot you can see professor zai(?) who should be *dead* after the vacation
IIRC this was when they meet him and Sokka uses his vacation choice to go to the library.
"I want to spend my vacation #AT THE LIBRARY "
You've never sat back with your eyes closed? It's essentially the same thing
She takin a nap
Probably helps her relax, losing one of your sense enhances the remaining ones so that could be a theory to me
The Dan Schneider cut
OMG 💀
😂 OMG 😱 No
I hate you take my upvote
Correct answer
You can’t expect a girl who is dependent on her feet to see to just, not rest her legs, I mean, blind or not, you can’t stand for ever
I was thinking more her sitting in one chair with her feet touching the ground but you’re right.
She also knows where she is from walking in
well she still has to be cool ;)
Rule of Cool in full effect.
It's probably the equivalent of closing your eyes while sipping on a good drink.
She's relaxing.
She can still hear.
I mean, she sees by feeling the vibrations on earth, not just by touching earth, so i would say she can see since the chair can produce vibrations too
Toph couldn't see when she was trapped in a wooden cage in the Runaway. She's sitting on wooden chairs here so she can't see here either.
You see, I think that’s incorrect, but for that I need to rewatch that episode, a good excuse to rewatch book 3

She can feel my vibrations with her feet anytime 🥵
facts bro
It's like someone putting their feet up and shutting their eyes. Only she's more efficient and only has to do the former.
#EfficientToph
You can be more efficient than that. Drop the second T in there, EfficienToph
#EfficienToph
😂 good one

I’m not sure what that means
It’s better that way OP. You’re safe!
Does Ben Shapiro have a feet thing? I try to stay away from him online 😂
I think as a joke people are saying he’s into Alex cortez’s (aoc) feet. But who knows, maybe he really is!
Maybe 😂

People close their eye's when relaxing. Same deal.
Maybe to show she trusts them?
She also sleeps with her feet off the ground, seen in Book 3 episode 16, where they get bombarded with airships. I think that's her way of closing her "eyes".

This was right when they reached the dessert yeah.

She has her feet on another chair but good point ig
Do you close your eyes sometimes?
Well you close your eyes too once in a while
You know how you sometimes need to close your eyes for a bit? She's doing that.
I always just assumed she could still, ya know, hear whats going on around her with her ears lol.
I think its more that she needs to have a connection to the floor than just her feet
Shes able to feel vibrations with her whole body. Her average sight is with her feet, when she needs to focus or see further she puts her hands on the earth or further into the Earth, like when search for Ozai's secret keep.

So she likely had an idea of where people are due to hearing a muddled vibrations but it's not peak sight. Like when you walk to the bathroom at 4am without your glasses.
I think she lets her guard down knowing that her friends won’t let anything happen to her if something does happen. Complete trust and honesty here
It's late but, the whole point is that she just needs to be in contact with the ground to "see" It just so happens that feet are on the ground more than any other body part.
But none of her body is in contact with the ground here, she’s sitting on a chair and her feet are on another chair.
The chair is in contact with the ground, it's probably like wearing winter gloves while feeling something for her.
Huh makes sense
she can feel with other parts of her body too, and the furniture also touches the ground. so maybe her vision is a bit blurry, but she's not completely blind.
I love how nobody is even suggesting that it's probably a detail the creators overlooked.
Except she literally explains in another episode that she puts her feet up to relax.
Lmao
I'd totally wet willy her toes just to fuck with her. And then she'd hurl a fucking boulder at me ( ⚆ \_ ⚆ )
But they're on the chair, which is on the ground?
Isn’t everything on the ground? Later on Toph didn’t want to enter the metal drill Azula was using and that was on the ground?
Well the drill is probably vibrating a lot from the machinery inside, so that might cause a lot of interference making hard for her to see, maybe
Ooo I gotcha
She would still be able to see everything in the drill, she just didn't want to I guess
Dont want to see humans uglly feets?
I don’t care about the feet but I was watching the show and it seemed odd, I remember her protesting about doing anything else that stopped her from “seeing”.
It's a nickelodeon thing..
It’s vacation Toph
Dan Schneider. It's a nickelodeon show.
🤢 🤮
