Im Literally In The Shower Booty Naked Rn But Imma Defend Spider For A Sec, I Feel Like He Only Saved

He's a kid. A KID. And I don't fucking trust anyone who's shitting on him, or even wishing for him to be killed. One thing is not liking him, I get that, I won't fight for everyone to like my poor boy, but other completely different is being mad to the point where y'all wish for his death (some of you even wish for a violent death, get some fucking help fr).

Random thoughts about Spider from Avatar 2

So I know everyone really hates Spider and don't get me wrong I love the memes but I want to analyse his character a bit beyond "he betrayed neteyam by saving Quaritch".

Because that isn't the full story here. So from the comics which includes Spiders childhood and "origin" story we see his mother is killed at a very young age. So there's trauma number one as we know his dad is also dead making him an orphan. He is then abandoned by the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE by being left behind. I know he is raised by norm and the scientists but cmon that's abandonment issues squared. Then on top of that he is labelled a "pandoran human" (a human born on pandora) which he is the first one ever. This separates him from other humans as well and would explain even further his connection to the planet.

All of that alone in a young teenage boy is gonna traumatise him enough into making some perhaps stupid choices (I don't think him saving Quaritch was stupid, it was an emotionally loaded decision). But it doesn't end there with abandonment issues because although he grows up alongside the Sully family (and therefore Na'vi culture) he is never truly a part of that culture. He has no way to connect to ewya by the hair thing (I can't remember what it's called). He is disconnected on a physical level trying to keep up with the Na'vi, being unable to breathe with them, being separated from their cultural practice and not being able to take part in their religion no matter how much he may believe in eyes.

And despite all this he seems happy, at least in the comics and flashbacks of the movie. He is content enough with how things are with the Sully's. He clearly cares a lot about them and views them like his family.

Yet Jake literally refers to him as "a stray cat" that won't quite leave them alone. Neytiri openly dislikes him and probably ignored him as best as she could (a decision fueled by her own trauma but also he husband is half human?? Like girl pick a standard at least Spider hasn't committed war crimes unlike Jake). We actually don't see much if the kids interacting with Spider once their older apart from the scene where he goes "it's not great to know who your father is 😐"

Which yes was a funny scene but really he is opening up about what is probably a strong point of trauma with him and he gets ZERO support or recognition from people he sees as family.

I remember watching the movie and getting half way through and just constantly thinking "the Sully's haven't mentioned spider yet? When are they going back for spider? That boy is being tortured and no one cares? No one cares cause he's human?" I know getting him back wasn't feasible for Jake but they don't even say his name. They go and play with the fish and forget he ever even existed. Jake's main concern is what Spider will say, he assumed he couldn't be trusted despite practically raising that boy. Imagine you are abandoned by everyone, your parents are dead, you have never been accepted ever. And then you find out that you "family" forgot about you AGAIN. Spider has every right to be hurt and he wasn't.

I'm disappointed because we had an opportunity for an halarious dynamic is Naytiri and Jake had adopted Spider more officially when Quaritch return they could be like "we killed your ass and stole your son :p". Objectively I think that would be way more entertaining.

Him saving Quaritch if anything proves he is better than his father and maybe even Jake. Spider is literally breaking a cycle of abuse and violence in this movie but no one is willing to see it. Him teaching Quaritch the way of the Na'vi may seem like betrayal but really what we see is a traumatised abandoned child sharing his love for his home. What he is doing is more that what Jake did by trying to bride the gap with the Na'vi, Spider is bridging the gap with the sky people. Which I think will make the difference in the war.

I don't know if Quaritch will get a redemption arc but I do know Spider deserves better than everything he has been given. And the solution isn't to just give Spider an avatar body but to give him a home and the unconditional love a child deserves.

it's been, like, 2-3 days since the new black panther movie came out and i'm seeing more complaints about people shipping shuri & namor than actual shuri/namor content

can't people just... let others be? i understand if you disagree with it, but this is fandom! it's fiction! we're meant to explore interesting ship dynamics! like, there's a reason why "enemies to lovers" is such a popular trope and i'm sorry but yes that includes the more toxic/abusive pairings too. honestly, if you want "enemies to lovers" without any of the toxic or abusive stuff, you're really looking for "rivals to lovers" pairings. i'm sorry but it's true.

if you don't like a certain ship and don't wanna see it's content, mute the tag! block the people posting about it! you're in control of your own online experience!

but don't try to police other people's fandom experiences, please. shipping a toxic or abusive pairing is not actually harming anyone. (and being offended by something is NOT the same as being harmed by it.) get it through your heads.

Not liking Eduardo Franco / Argyle is my newest red flag 🚩

I'm about to get cancelled over this, but the first time I noticed that Hob was into smoking I found it very attractive, I still do. It's sexy, at least when it comes to him idk, and I think he does it only when he's having some drinks, something like social smoking. Not a habit, but he can enjoy it once in a while. Dream it's definitely not into it, nor does he approve it, but after so many years he has come to the point where he doesn't care or mind the ashtray nor the smell.

All of this are hdc of mine, so feel free to disagree

It's time of truly important questions.

Hob smoked for two centuries. Has he quit smoking in our century?

How does Morpheus feel about the smell of smoke?

Does it annoy him when Hob smokes in his presence?

Is he angry because he has to kiss the ashtray?

Does Hob smoke in bed after sex?

Does Morpheus throw a pouch with sand at his head for this?

So many questions and no answers.

Being this fine should be fucking illegal

Stephen Lang as the Blind Man in Don’t Breathe 2 (2021), dir. Rodo Sayagues

People who became Queen fans because of Borhap are valid fans. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. A person who became a fan one day ago is no less of a fan in my mind than someone like me who was raised listening to and hearing about them, or someone who was a fan in their original touring and producing days. Ranking based on who was a fan longer or knows more and judging the validity of fan origin stories is a waste of time and takes away from the joy of these four boys and their wonderful music. We’re all fans.

Am I the only one that likes to headcanon Tony Stark adopting all the Marvel superkids like Will Graham adopts dogs in Hannibal?

Everybody: Morbius was horrible

Meanwhile me: new comfort movie unlocked

notes on captain k

SPOILERS AHEAD!!

so personally i didnt believe captain k and finkel were nazis, despite being members of the german army and i feel the need to explain why. As freddie finkel had very few lines this will focus on captain k but it is applicable to both of them.

- as with the last time i wrote about this it always comes back to that final battle. any of the later reasons can be mostly disregarded if it werent for those pink triangles that provide the final necessary proof. i am certain that any true follower of the nazi party would wear the insignia of concentration camp prisoners, particularly one which later became such a marker of solidarity. the act essentially vandalises their uniforms, blatantly defying the nazi party. additionally rather than fight they made a mockery of their army playing ‘annoying music’ and firing at walls rather than people.

-before captain k is executed he tells jojo that rosie was a good person. in doing so he commends and praises her efforts to defy the regime, demonstrating a lack of belief in it

-he tries to get jojo to stop obsessing, trying to dissuade his opinions on jews and attempting to distract him from the topic 

-he saves elsas life. he was clearly aware that rosie and jojo were looking after elsa and came to interrupt the gestapo search (he had possibly done this before altho we will never know)

-he repeatedly expresses a lack of faith in the party. He is very much aware that they are being fed propaganda ‘And even though it would appear our country is on the back foot, and there really isn’t much hope of us winning this war, apparently, we’re doing just fine.’

-during the book burning he looked on sadly and remorsefully, clearly not participating or enjoying it

there were possibly other factors however these were the most evident. 

the reasons that i see that he may have joined the nazi army are as follows:

- he was enlisted and had no choice

- he once was a nazi but grew disillusioned and detached himself from those beliefs

- there isnt really evidence for this but he may have been working from the inside as a member of the resistance just as jojos father was

- he did what he believed he had to do to survive. ill admit its not the best reason to become a member of the nazi party but we have no way of knowing the danger he was in or what he felt he needed to do 

you are more than entitled to disagree with this entirely, this was simply my perception of the film and how i prefer to have read it

i honestly don’t think i’ve been in a ship-fandom as pleasant and welcoming as the harringrove fandom. it’s the best one.
