It's Still Christmas For Me, So Happy Christmas. My Day Was Ruined But This Was Fun To Write To Raise

We got a wind trader!!!!!!

And a clan name!

And a new ship!

if I were to write a series of fics/ficlets on this (↓↓ basic overview ↓↓)

I could write unrelated fics to explore more dynamics

i hate when top wildlife predators are just lil babies teeny tiny babies

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction! 

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

The chapter where Spider is told to hide the identity of his true father had me thinking…what if he ran away after he revealed himself to Neytiri and Jake? He thinks that it truly is his fault their firstborn son died and that him staying here will only bring more chaos. He flees and lives a life of isolation to atone for his “tainted” blood. No one ever sees him again, but Spider does became a cryptid of sorts where Na’vi from all over Pandora whisper about a human who travels the road and helps displaced Na’vi find a new safe place before vanishing into the night.

Like some Robin Hood sorta vibes? I love it!!

There's loads of potential with it too, because Spider could actually go back to the villages that Quaritch attacked to try and fix what was destroyed...

Anon you might've just filled one of the prompts I was unsure about thank you!!

"Neytiri can be understood: she hit the Spider because her daughter was in danger, her firstborn was dead, and Neytiri was furious."

Yes, it can be understood, but not justified. No matter how crazy she is, it doesn't mean that she can harm children. That doesn't mean she shouldn't have talked to Spider after the incident on the ship. This does not mean that this situation should be hushed up, as if she had accidentally pushed him instead of putting a knife to his chest.

Why, if Neytiri can be understood, then the Spider cannot be understood-"He betrayed Sally: he saved Quaritch, taught them the Na'vi language." True, but it's not a betrayal. The spider was in CAPTIVITY and was used as a tool to achieve goals (not only by the deja blu team, Neytiri did it too). He saved Quaritch because he was the only adult who really cared about him. Not because circumstances forced him to do it, but because he wanted to do it himself.

In the months Quaritch has spent with his son, he has achieved more than anyone from Hellgate or the clan. Quaritch saved the Spider from torture!

In just one film, it was possible to understand that the Spider is a merciful, kind and not at all cruel hero, despite the fact that not everyone likes him, he does not treat them with hostility. His own homeland is not suitable for him to live in, but no matter what, he would not trade it for any other place, even if it were 1000 times better.

And the Spider should have had real parents, not employees who were supposed to take care of it. None of the people thought about accepting it. Even Norm, who was ready for children (he literally adopted Omatikai's orphans), did not accept him. No one thought about him.

Spider lost almost everything he had or should have had.

Even his father has a lot of fans, despite the fact that he was clearly not a super hero.

It upsets me that people desperately don't want to analyze the movie (or analyze everything related to the Spider), they only have two arguments: "The Spider betrayed Sally" and "Quaritch said he didn't care about the Spider"

And obviously, it doesn't matter to them that Quaritch calls the boy his son in the rescue scene, and it doesn't matter that Quaritch was deceiving himself in the beginning. It was safer for Quaritch to show that he didn't care about the Spider, because otherwise the Spider would once again become the protagonist of a bad story, but this time related only to his father. As it already happened in the scene on the ship!

Even Neytiri understands that the Spider is important to Quaritch!

Oh, I didn't forget to mention that two adults abandoned a child in the company of deadly guys, didn't I? And no, arguments in the style of "they saved their children" are not accepted.

I apologize if something was unclear, English is not my native language.

I need Spider to make friends outside of the Sullys. It feels like we only ever see one side of him because he's always around Neytiri's children and can never truly be himself without raising suspicions or anger. Making new friends beyond the Sully inner circle would give him the freedom to be unapologetically himself, and Kiri would start to notice just how bright and mischievous he really is. Spider is still a teenager, and I want him to act more like one: childish, bratty, sullen, and explorative, the way all teenagers are supposed to be.

“For Neytiri’s funeral veil we incorporated lace work into a braided head band that was made using New Zealand flax, harakeke. We took care to use undyed material representing grief, no bright colour” -wētāworkshop on instagram

A moot of mine on twt brought up how her outfits are typically very vibrant and now my heart is already more broken than before. What a beautiful and thoughtful costuming choice.
