Admittedly most of my “Spider Bias” (love for this stupid little character) stems from the fact that one of my own nearest and dearest original characters (whom I have been building on to some degree for years) has similar problems.

With that said, I very much look forward all content involving this little weirdo and hope that we get a lot of him in future Avatar sequels.

A headcannon of my own to add on here:

1#) The issue with raising the children of two separate species in the same household from pretty much birth is that they do not understand size differences or physical limitations based on biology and will do stupid shit that wouldn’t hurt a Na’vi child too badly but could definitely take a human child off of the sensus. One time Spider asked Lo’ak to shoot him from one unnamed platform to another by hitting him with a giant tree branch, Lo’ak was about to do it and would have if Jake hadn’t shown up right then and there to stop them (Neytiri almost had a heart attack and Jake’s soul nearly transcended his body that day. I don’t like the idea of Neytiri being anti-Spider since if anything Jake is more to blame for what happened to her people in the first movie than an innocent kid, so we’ll just say that Momma had major concerns. Tuktirey and Kiri would not stop laughing and Neteyam was just disappointed in everyone).

My personal avatar headcanons

•Neteyam used to make fun of the rest of his siblings for being ticklish but he is secretly the most ticklish one out of them all

•Tsireya is the oldest child

•Spider smells the worst out of all the sully kids. No one knows why considering he has soap and showers at hell’s gate and they’re to weirded out to ask

•(it’s because he showers 1 a week)

•When lo’ak was little he used to pretend to fall asleep on jakes ikran so he would carry him off of it

•Neytiri will just randomly stare directly into peoples souls. It’s just her way of getting used to their face

•Sometimes when Kiri watches Grace’s video logs, she pretends they’re having a conversation.

•Once after Spider overheard Neytiri complaining about him he got into one of the avatar machines and one of the humans caught him he said he just wanted to know what the inside of it felt like

•Tuktirey steals everyone’s food and everyone knows it’s her but they pretend to be confused

•Spider used to have a crush on a really pretty na’vi girl but he was to scared to tell and never said anything to anyone until his feelings stopped and to this day will deny even knowing who she was

•Lo’ak once made a really bad drawing of the family and Neteyam laughed so hard that he never drew anything after that

• Neteyam felt bad so he purposely slipped off of a tree and hit the ground and when Jake+Neytiri asked what happened he said something hit him in the face and caused him to fall. Kiri laughed so loudly that everyone forgot lo’ak’s drawing which made him feel better but sad that they forgot abt it

•Rotxo is the responsible mom friend who needs a break

• the metkayina are appalled at how bad the ometkayina smell and came up with the idea to make them swim to get rid of the stench

•Neytiri hates sand and hates the fact that tuk loves to fully submerge herself in wet sand

•if anyone ever made a sand castle in front of the metkayina, they would become the greatest architects of the na’vi

•Aonung ate a handful of sand as a kid and had excruciating diarrhea and blamed it on an ilu when somebody found it

•Rotxo’s mom would yell at someone and immediately hug them afterward

•Sometimes Jake worries that when the rda come they’ll make him go back to being human instead of killing him

I have more but I’m to lazy to type rn

Not related to ASOIAF or GOT at all, but this post (and OP’s insight) make me feel really good about my knock-off creepypasta world and how I write/plan to write the main protagonist (Who spent a good 90% of her childhood and teen years struggling to feed herself and her siblings whilst also collecting various trauma as a side job, because of severe child neglect on the part of their mother).

 Like that was it, that was the plot of her flashbacks and what the audience gets of her backstory; she just spent every waking day from ages 8 to 18 trying to not only survive in a world where everything in every inch of nature once you step outside of an urban area has the potential to be fucking dangerous, but attempting to do so whilst also living in a small/rural hicktown, putting meagre amounts of food on the table when they were unable to live on school lunches and using secondhand stores/donations bins to keep everyone clothed.

 And what kind of personality does she wind up with as an adult? The entire plot of the main story happens because even once she is grown and her siblings are growing up + safe in someone else’s care, she just can’t seem to stop being the “authority”. She winds up in another ride-or-die situation at  age 25 following a few short years of peace and immediately falls back into the old “leadership role” because it became so ingrained in her psyche as an adolescent that SHE HAD to be the one making the calls and taking the hits, that she just COULDN’T not play leader when made to choose between watching an entire plane crash full of victims take someone else’s advice or die/and or follow her advice and maybe-possibly-make-it-out-better because she knows that she has some relevant experience and that the other natural leaders of the group don’t necessarily have it in the same way. At which point we see the meat of the current-day plot start to emerge, because of course supernatural shit starts happening (it is a knockoff creepypasta universe, after all).

Back on topic though, this post just makes me feel really good about how I put the roots of her personality formation together (the pursuit of necessities required for a successful life being the catalyst for every fucked up thing that goes on in her head because she was too young when she had to take charge and her underdeveloped brain didn’t distinguish much else other than success vs. failure = failure means death while she was learning life skills).

I never knew about lemon season, thank you.

I grew up in citrus farming country, and had orange and lemon trees. And I saw a post today about how people in the US have gotten so used to everything being always availible that when they walk into a grocery store in January to buy a lemon, they expect the lemon to be there, and they never even consider how unnatural it is that we have lemons in January.

And this is so completely not the point of that post, which is why I'm making my own post, but this example really really bothers me, because as I said I grew up in citrus country, and citrus are winter fruits, and January is lemon season.

Which ultimately goes to prove the point of that post, that we are so used to this kind of constant availability, that most people don't even know what season is lemon season.

I accept your CMA (Chemical Materials Agency), but I raise you CMA (Certified Medical Assistant).

Yes, the same acronym can definitely mean a shitton of different things.

honestly like i get the poly(nesian) vs poly(amorous) thing, and n(on)b(lack) vs n(on)b(inary), and i’ll change to polyam or ply or enby if asked to avoid confusion, but i also need yall to know that like…its okay for one abbreviation to have multiple meanings. theres only 26 letters and we can reuse some of them, no one is “stealing” anything.

Animal Crossing did not attack Air Conditioners.

#acronyms #eponyms are fun too #I see you over there - Mr. Alzheimer #CMAA means 'Certified Medical Administrative Assistant' in my mental library (somebody tell me what other meaning it has in theirs) #I want to know now

I had a weirdly good time reading Damsel by Elana K. Arnold this past week (I stole it off of the shelf at the store where I work, speed read it on my breaks, and then put it back so that I would not have to pay for it).

Maybe it was the thrill of completely safe piracy (I didn’t actually steal it, guys, I was in a very public employee break area where everybody say me with it and nobody cared), or maybe it was because bitches were bent in the final chapter (Suck it, Emory); but I enjoyed it a reasonable amount, and actually kind of appreciated the take on commonly used fairy tale tropes that Arnold was going for (She did not quite stick the landing, but the intent and pieces of success that were achieved made a semi decent impression).

“Why Your Mideval Kindgom Should Never Make A Career Out of Both Literally And Figuratively Fucking With Dragons” the novel was good, everybody.

Doctors Sattler, Grant, and Malcolm were really having some wild PTSD-flashbacks in Dominion, weren’t they?

There is probably a minimum age requirement (with some notable exceptions, as you say) involved in learning the mystic arts, If I had to guess (which I do seeing as how we’ve no canon confirmation either way) I would say that it is either eighteen or twenty-five depending on your definitions of a mature individual.

Eighteen = Matured from childhood, a legal adult with their own decision making power.

Twenty-Five = Fully developed cerebral cortex, mature in ways mental and emotional to better assist in the handling of magic.

I’m just saying I don’t think the sorcerers train children at all, mainly because a kid with powers is a huge risk because they at some point will use them irresponsibly. All of the sorcerers we see are adults, sure maybe some are in their twenties. But it makes sense that feasibly they can’t train children regardless since kids have school and parents signing off on such a thing doesn’t seem likely. Maybe there’s exceptions like an orphan they can’t turn away. But America is seemingly the youngest in training at any of the temples.

#I am leaning more towards 25 tbh #it seems like a decision that the Sorcerer Supreme would find sound #(It was definitely The Ancient One's idea.)

“Learning to keep your sentience after death is a special skill” my ass, it has always been my headcannon that in the SW universe, there is a whole world “on the other side” wherein people go to spend their afterlives and be with loved ones. When they reach the afterlife, people take a mandatory class on how to appear in the living world as a spirit/ghost (it is like an orientation course to being dead, it’s companion class is therapy.)

I fully understand why the sequels wouldn’t want to focus on prequels characters but can you imagine if there’d been an order of force ghosts roaming the galaxy, acting as spirit guides to lost and alone force sensitive children, raising jedi from within the force itself, haunting battlefields and old temples to provide what council they can to any who would ask for it. If little Rey abandoned on Jakku had been watched over and taught by the ghost of an increasingly forgotten old jedi general from before there was even an empire, if Finn growing up in the first order had an imaginary Togruta friend who showed him tricks to save his fellow cadets from cruelty and kept reminding him that there was always hope. What was the special training to stay intact in the force for if not to seek ways to shed a little light in the tumultuous times ahead, to pass on the teachings and stories of their culture that would be lost to genocide, to watch over the children?

I did it, I finally did it (The SW fanfic that nobody asked for, but which I desperately needed because my heart couldn’t take cannon!)

Ft. Obi-Wan Kenobi as a tired/traumatized post-Order 66 dad, baby Kal Kestis and baby Caleb Dume as traumatized cuties, a little peppering of angst about how Obi-Wan used to be friends with Depa (but never knew Tapal), and eventual Disaster/Shatter-Point Linage expansion.

Ah, Elenora.

heard shuffling noises at 1 AM. turned on my camera. saw this. still not convinced this is a dog

#canine shapeshifter OC #goes by 'The Bloodhound' - 'Grimm' - and 'Athena' depending on the nickname and what form she is in. #Looks like if a border collie and a german shepherd fucked in my imagination but this image works too. #Her smaller doggie-look does anyway. #She has four appearances. #Appearance 1 = regular human. #Appearance 2 = slightly souped up human with slightly sharper teeth and glowing red eyes. #Appearance 3 = more or less normal mixed-breed doggo but with curly black fur and red eyes which glow sometimes. #Appearance 4 = Canine/Ursid hybrid the size of a rather large draft horse with many terrifying bearlike attributes in addition to many #very much gargantuan canine attributes (not to be fucked with.) #She got her powers by breaking a sacred circle of stones on purpose. #Because she needed to help some people and had heard local legends about supposed 'repurcussions' for breaking them apart. #MOTHERFUCKERS THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO THIS! #(Well maybe there was in ye 'olden times where it might have been seen as satanic by certain parties.) #(But it was probably seen as a blessing by others before mythos and history warped the story.) #This post was made by the 'Creature Shifter Who Keep All Of Their Human Wits After Transformation' gang.

Starwars OC concept:

A reasonably untrustworthy (known for blowing off responsibility, particularly that which relates to personal/relationship obligations) young Knight who usually works in the archives but also occasionally leaves to go out on missions who tends to be rather sly and not always the most honest (hence, yet again, why they are considered untrustworthy by many and maybe a little prone to falling by some) winds up surviving Order 66 and has to not only keep themselves alive, but also keep their tiny (newly apprenticed) brother/sister Padawan alive because said kid was somehow with them when everything went down and they knew just enough about avoiding the repercussions of jedi-related mistakes to keep both themselves and the kid from biting a bullet.

Oh, and they didn’t feel their master (on a longass and very dangerous mission at the time, hence leaving tiny Padawan with big brother/sister for their own safety) die, so it would be just swell if they could track said master down and dump tiny Padawan back on them before this guardian-business winds up killing everyone involved.

#star wars #star wars prequels #star wars trilogy #george lucas #I have names for both the trouble-maker main protagonist and their sib #but nothing else #(Trouble-Maker may or may not have slight issues with their master supposedly favoring tiny baby Padawan.) #(Even though logically tiny baby Padawan hasn't even been an apprentice long enough for them and mystery master to bond.) #(Trouble-Maker does know that their master was always looking to raise a traditional and trustworthy jedi though.) #(So they believe pretty firmly that their master views them as the disappointment between the two.) #(Because their apprenticeship to mystery master was mystery master's first time as a mentor.) #(And the first Padawan is usually expected to reflect the qualities which make any master worthy of achieving the rank.) #(So yeah the MC is kind of responsible for their master having fallen under at least some scrutiny by their master's peers.)

I would like to propose a fashion trend for Pride Month where it is just this shirt (or any Pride Flag inspired shirt really), plus some chaotic fucking text.

My best idea so far is one piece of text up front on each tiddy, one boob saying “Hail” and the other saying “Satan.”

(There is an accompanying pair of shorts which say “God Is Dead” on the booty cheeks, it is written in the same font used for the Gods Not Dead movie title.)

More at eleven.

#pride month #lgbtq pride #religion #(Mine would be in the colors of the Bi-Flag.) #This post brought to you by conversations in the breakroom at work. #(It sure is a breakroom at work.) #We also have a supposedly religious CoWorker (claims religion but probably just wants to hate on something) who is really bad at being nice #and accepting diversity. #Said CoWorker also has a shite work ethic and never does what the bosses tell her to do - so everyone hated her way before her other #'issues' became obvious. #(So long story short - we enjoy coming up with ways to piss her off - ways which won't get us in trouble - #but will still ruffle her feathers as our lord in hell intended - come to find out that corporate is letting us dress in rainbows for the #first three days of Pride Month - cue the concept for THIS bad boy.)

I just watched Enola Holmes on Netflix and can I just say that the dynamic between Enola and Tewkesbury?..... flawless.

#enola holmes #mutual-annoyances to possible-puppy-crush? (YAS QUEEN!.) #Friends-but-not-friend-because-you're-annoying-now-fuck-off VS. Thank-you-for-saving-me-new-bestest-buddy-bestest-gal-pal #I mean Tewkesbury wasn't really annoyed with Enola so much as intrigued and a little flabbergasted with his rescuer but it still counts as #mutual annoyances. #I swear to god if these two ever start dating the world would not be prepared for the chaos. #I love them as friends but picturing the pair as adults with Feral-Lady/Duchess-Detective-Enola and Reserved-But-Ready-To-Throw-Down- #Lord/Duke-Tewkesbury with their 'Killing Intent' vibes is amazing. #Enola would run you through for the last croissant and her husband would not stop her. #Also the exact brand of potential goblin children that these two would have = perfection.
