Had this idea that Ronal would take kindly to Spider because he’s a child aimlessly trying to find family and I feel she’d take pity and show compassion. Also with Ronal’s animosity with Neytiri - she’d prob feel some solidarity with Spider. It’s a bit hypocritical cause Ronal literally calls the Sully kids demons for being half human but idk she’d prob have a change of heart seeing such a young kid being held hostage by the RDA, abandoned by the Sullys, and the scientist at hell’s gate.
Oh yeah in this version the RDA cut his hair and gave him clothes, washing away any Na’vi evidence.
Not going to finish these WIPs, the inconsistent art style is killing me
Ok so we all know that, in the movie, Miles had a special sort of stare that would make people back down when he wanted to go through with something, like with the “Let’s hunt” scene, so let’s take it a step further.
I like to think that colonel has his special death stare that he uses to win arguments or intimidate people into doing his bidding, and then even uses it on Spider when they argue. It works first couple times but then Spider learns to mirror it, and with down-turned brows like his it becomes quite easy.
So now the kid uses it as a defence mechanism. When he feels threatened he’d use the stare to make whoever threatens him to back down or to intimidate humans into letting him go places he might not be allowed in. Basically using it to his benefit to survive amongst humans.
And then, weeks after the Sea Dragon incident, he argues with Jake.
Jake grabs his arm.
Spider instinctively looks him in the eye.
And a shiver runs down Sully’s back…
…like he’s seen this gaze before.
in other news i can’t be the only one weirded out by the theories and fanart that make Varang and the Mangkwan seem like evil, animalistic beasties, right? it’s weird, right? like the theories that they eat people or are going to torture Neytiri/the kids or cut off people’s huru or limbs, that’s weird right? i’ve even seen theories on discord speculating that they’re somehow biologically “less intelligent” and “more brutal” and i. woah perhaps we should unpack this
What is with the tiktok side of the avatar fandom and their weird obsession over hating on Spider, referring to him as dirty, picturing him as the sully family’s unwanted / disgusting dog or just generally wanting him to die –especially if it would get them Neteyam back. My boy does not deserve this.
3/3 of my Avatar Illustrations exploring the beauty of Pandora!
This time it's a snippet from the reef!
I went for a calm but playful moment while still trying to keep that glittering wonder and awe pandora invokes.
Spider will be, at least ever so slightly compared to other humans, respected. he protected the clan. the Na'vi.
I go by Spinner.
I am 31 years of age and too old to get involved in any drama or discourse. Those who bring that to this blog will be immediately blocked.
I go by She/Her pronouns.
This blog is dedicated to my love for Spider Socorro from Avatar.
I do not care for Quaritch. Never have. Never will. He's not my cup of tea, but if you like him, that's great! No judgment here! I just won't be posting anything about him unless it's an analysis of his personality.
My blog consists of little headcanons about Spider or Aus spun from the top of my head.
I am currently obsessing over my The Wanderer AU, where Spider dies and goes back in time to become a wanderer with his ikran. This is basically just a feel-good what-if where Spider travels the world of Pandora because he wants to live a life beyond Hell's Gate and see the world.
I love the flora and fauna of Pandora and will be gushing about them.
I'm just here to have fun and indulge in my current hyperfixation.
There won't be much shipping here except for the occasional Neytiri x Jake post!
Hateful asks and comments will be deleted or ignored. Life is too short to focus on the negatives. If you have a problem with me and what I'm posting, then kindly block me or keep scrolling.
Enjoy your stay!
I highkey want Varang to use and betray Quaritch.
I actually want her to dog walk this dude I'm not playing. I need Quaritch to be strung along like he finally found a place to belong, then be dumped like a used napkin it'll be so funny.
Watching Quaritch brutalize the ta'unui idk how anyone can like this man
