Okay I’m Currently Furious That Migraines Are Often So Blindly Easy To Treat And I Had To Find This

Norm family lore drop!!

so for Avatar fans who don't already know, Kelutral's "Omaticon" online convention (streamed on their Twitch channel) is going on this weekend, and the kickoff panel earlier this evening featured franchise loremaster Josh Izzo.

Some may remember this little panel in the High Ground, featuring Norm with a Na'vi child addressing him as "Daddy":

In the Visual Dictionary, there's also a very brief mention that Tuk has a best friend named Popiti.

...so here's the fun bit:

Izzo confirmed that this "Popiti" is in fact Norm's kid!!

Apparently Popiti also has a sibling, and her mother/Norm's mate is from the Olangi clan (which makes sense given that the Visual Dictionary mentions Norm having a bunch of Olangi trinkets).

ngl I love this lore drop but now I have so many more questions also!! How old is Popiti (I assume close to Tuk's age since they're best friends but there's still some wiggle room there so)? Is her sibling older or younger and what's his/her name? If they're Norm's biological kids, do either of them have avatar features like Kiri and Lo'ak? What's Norm's wife's name, what's their story? Norm didn't get his consciousness permanently transferred like Jake did, so how does him switching between two bodies affect things? PLZ I NEED TO KNOW

@theoptimistictabby thought you'd be interested in this one ;)

btw let it be known that I speculated all these things like two years ago, my mind is still reeling that what I thought was merely wild wishful-thinking speculation at the time turned out to be CANON lol

This is so wholesome

Some new designs

I’m sitting in a coffee shop right now, and there’s a teenage boy and girl (I’d say about 16-17) sitting at the next table over. At first I thought they were on a date, but actually the exact opposite is happening - no, not a breakup. I mean they’re talking about the fact that they both have a crush on the same girl. Currently they’re very earnestly debating whether they should ask her out one after another or if they should go together like in that one episode of Community.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

100 post!

ehehehehe

Different clans (including the metkayina) visiting the omaticaya form time to time and meeting Spider. At first they are like "what is this demon doing here?", then they get to know him and are like "Oh dear, oh dear, gorgeous". Maybe after the Sullys flee to Awa’atlu, Tonowari asks about Spider and Jack being a dumbass says that one of the reasons they left was because spider was taken and could betray them. Cue in everyone roasting the shit out of them.

at first, after they got over him being human, they only really know him as the kid who lurks outside the meeting hut door, his golden hair peeking around the corner, with a smile that could light up the world. eventually he gets invited in and he'll stand awkwardly behind jake, always finding ways to be helpful, fetching water or tending the fire, flashing his smile to all the cheifs and tsahiks, bowing his head when he greet them. they think he's fricking adorable, and eventually build up his trust with them, till he finds the courage to sit with them during meetings, joining them after for meals, generally just being at ease with them.

spider is truly the reason some of them travel all the way to see the toruk makto so often, bringing their kids along so spider had someone to play with during the meetings. they feel ashamed for how they had judged him because he is truly the sweetest kid they have ever met, and they often question why jake does not do more to claim him, why the boy does not go to climb on his father like his siblings do, why he addresses him as sir, why he seems uneasy when urged to go back to his family hut to sleep.

then the sully's wind up in the metkayina village, without the boy, and both tonowari and ronal feel a sense of dread in their guts. when they ask where he is and jake says they left him with the demons? they almost murdered him, right there, they genuinely want to turn the family away. but, they want to find spider, and they know that if they keep the sully's around, that gets them a little closer to he boy, gives them a few extra hands to bring him back.

ronal does make a promise to the sully's, when they bring spider home, he will no longer be their child, their pet, their stray. he will be taken into the tonowari family where he'll actually be cherished.

god forbid the other clans, like the ta'unui, recognize and/or find out spider had been taken. they will flip on jake so fast.
