There was a kids’ book set in Book 3 called “Love Potion #8”. In it, the Gaang met Chong and other nomads. They all drank the potion and had a party. One of the nomads was Ohev, a young boy and former servant to the Beifongs. Toph made an instant connection with him and they might have fallen in love. Some ppl aren’t sure if this book is canonical or not, but if it is, they could’ve ran into eachother again while Toph traveled the world teaching Metalbending, and married. But I like Tokka better

Oh boy. Are we ready to talk about Love Potion #8?

Here’s the deal: it’s a book for children that was released while Team Avatar was wandering the Fire Nation in Book 3. It’s not written well (but if pretty well illustrated) and introduces a…

You know what, an anonymous commenter on the Avatar Wiki has this covered:

So the gang is walking, and they meet the nomads. Now, instead of five, they grew in size, so now there’s like, what, fifteen hippies. The hippies are having a Love Feast, and offer everyone a love potion called Love Potion #8, because the first seven “didn’t turn out to well.” So, they all drink the potion, and go all crazy with love and whatnot. Katara and Aang slip away somewhere, and Toph meets this nomad boy Ohev, and Sokka is just by himself, thinking about Suki and Yue. Toph and Ohev talk, and it is discovered that Ohev was a servant to the Bei Fong family before he ran away. They fall in love, Katara and Aang fall in love, and Sokka is Sokka. Soon they have to leave, and Ohev kisses Toph on the cheek. Right before they leave on Appa, the nomads reveal Love Potion #8 wasn’t a potion, but just “water, berries, and sugar,” so all the potion stuff was just mumbo-jumbo, but the love was real. So the gang flies away, and Ohev is never seen again throughout the Avatar world, at least for now.

I’m not sure that this is cannonical.

I’m going to guess “no” because it seems like a huge tribe of Earth Nomads wandering around the Fire Nation around the time period of Book Three seems imporbable in that greater universe.

That and nothing that originates in Love Potion #8 ever shows up in the series (Ohev – Herbrew for “love” – never is mentioned).

Until someone mentions Ohev (or that this event actually happened), I’m inclined to think that this isn’t going to be brought up.

But that’s just my critical opinion, I wouldn’t be pissed. Not nearly as I was spending money on Love Potion #8

I’m bringing this all up because IT’S NATIONAL CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK! I’m thinking I need some new books. I want a new copy of The Invention Of Hugo Cabret and I’m ALWAYS on the lookout for Classic Goosebumps books. I like to get them signed by actors that were in the TV versions.
