Description
I think I redid this painting about four times before I was anywhere near happy with it. Originally, it was just going to be Sokka looking up at the moon, then I randomly added Toph, then I hated their poses so I erased them completely, then I hated the background so I painted over that, then I tried to paint a cliff but it looked too much like a penis so I ditched that, then I decided to add Suki...I think I'm okay with it now.
I titled it after the song "Cosmic Love" by Florence + The Machine only because it happened to be the song that I was listening to while finishing this. Turns out the song kinda sorta works out. Sokka's having some moon feels. Suki's trying to be there for him but is also perhaps feeling a little bit insignificant - like she has some big shoes to fill. And then poor, poor Toph is just sitting off to the side, playing with the space rock that Sokka gave her - also trying to be there for her friends but still feeling a bit like the third wheel.
Sooo, yeah, I just Yukka'd, Sukka'd, and Tokka'd all at once.
And Suki's still in her Fire Nation outfit because I like that outfit on her. In my head, she wears it all the time. Fuck the police.

POOR TOPH!!! I'm not a huge fan of Tokka mostly because it would mean that Tenzin and Lin would be cousins and that doesn't go well in my head. But I love the whole thing with Suki and Yue. LOVE TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I like Tokka, I'm perfectly fine with it not becoming "official." Some of the shippers are freaking insane!
Thanks for your comment! Sorry for the late resopnse

I am in envy of your ability to create beautiful backgrounds... awesome work! Feeling the feels.
Sokka: Suki, it's just you, me, and Yue.
Yue: HAY! YOU TWO SHOULD KISS!!!
Toph: What am I then, chopped liver?! *mumble mumble earthbend*

Do you hate Toph?

No, I actually really like Toph!
The quote isn't Toph-hating. It's based on the ASDF movies (you, me and the moon skit from ASDF Movie 5), and Toph feels left out of the Sokka-Suki-Yue triangle. That's all ^^

That's a relief. I actually thought for a moment that Toph-haters actually existed. That would've been scary. O_O

Triple threat = awesome. Well done, incorporating all of that.
Space rock. Moon = in space.
Hmmm.

Poor Toph, indeed. Crushes are quite crushing.

Really wonderful! Glad I enlarged it to see the details.... and glad you put in Suki instead of a penis cliff.
