Revenge is a dish best served with love; Spider and So’lek found family

I’ve been bothering @dirtytransmasc about it all day and I can’t stop 😭 there is such a strong potential for a story between these two if they were to ever cross paths!

It could go so many ways, but I see Jake giving Spider away to him as one of the possibilities. He does it under the guise of giving Spider training necessary to keep up with the Na’vi, so he could help out the insurgency but in reality, he bribed So’lek into taking Spider under his wing with the opportunity for revenge. And we know So’lek loves nothing more than revenge.

What better way to make Miles Quaritch himself roll in his grave than to mould his biological son into a sky people killing machine?

So the two set off for the western frontier and Spider begins his lessons in survival, as well as combat. He gets to see the man behind the legend and the truth is — the man is barely there. His mind is always partly consumed by violence; thoughts too dark for the boy to imagine. He also sees that So’lek lacks emotion in anything unrelated to war, and is a man of a few words unless discussing tactics. He’d heard that this Na’vi lost his entire clan in the battle of the tree of souls, but seeing the consequences of that event up close was different from being told about it. Trauma defined him.

They reach the clouded forest, and So’lek begins to teach the boy ways of battle. He is just patient enough for Spider to catch things on the fly but as usual, offers little empathy if he struggles or smalltalk when they’re out of combat.

So’lek’s "hunts" are the worst part. They happen rarely as Socorro is not dubbed to be ready for that yet, but he is often taken along to be taught by example. He gets to watch as something like an unsuspecting convoy of RDA grunts falls victim to what they call, among other things, "blue death". He sees them scream and shake in pure terror of a creature they clearly knew, sees how little of a chance they stand against a seasoned warrior as he moves like a silent shadow and takes the sky people out one by one. Swiftly, yet brutally. He calls those outings "hunts" for a reason.

And the way he speaks of sky people makes something in Spider’s spine shudder. The man speaks of them as game, seemingly forgetting that the student who’s intelligence and strength he often praises is still a sky person himself — not in spirit, but in body.

Socorro isn’t sure about this ordeal anymore. The more he finds out about the legendary warrior…the less he wants to follow in his footsteps. Protecting the people has always been something he wished to be useful in, and he loved the Na’vi, loved Pandora, his one and only home…but he can’t let himself become anything like So’lek. The way he sees it, killing should be performed mindfully. Spider hates the idea that taking a life, no matter what life, maybe become second nature to him. A reflex.

Killing should not ever be so easy.

On the other end of the line is So’lek himself. He never thought that taking in a child, even as just a temporary ward, would be so difficult. For the first time in fifteen years he has to feel again, and he hates it. Socorro makes him feel out of control, makes him feel frustrated, confused, tired, amused, alive.

With how stressed Jake sounded when he offered to give him the boy, So’lek assumed Spider was a danger; a nantang disguised as a harmless yerik, but the longer he waited the more he realised that said nantang was nowhere in sight. Not to say that Spider was a yerik either. If anything, the child strongly resembled a playful syaksyuk (prolemuris).

Spider, as any other kid his age, hungers for adventure, for freedom and fun. Even with all the respect he held for So’lek, he was a difficult boy to reel in and keep in line. He was constantly busy with something, be it a crafting project for their base (which, since he appeared, more and more resembled a home), exploring the wilderness or collecting something. Most often rocks or herbs.

His smile is so bright, So’lek feels blinded by it every time.

…no. This isn’t right. This isn’t how it was supposed to go, the man catches himself think. He was supposed to "steer Socorro in the right direction", as Jake had put it yet as weeks passed, his resolve melted into something he haven’t felt for years. Could it be…?

No. So’lek was absolutely not getting attached to the child in his care. He couldn’t. He was a sky person; a son to the demon.

But, he was so different from anything So’lek has encountered. There was fire in his honey eyes, but it burned with desire to protect, not hurt. He had an impressive muscle mass, but used it for climbing and weaving only. He made each kill matter, praying for every fallen thing even as So’lek hurried him to skin the meat before it got shrouded. Everything about nature fascinated, awed him, so he thirsted to learn of this new forest and every creature living within it.

Spider could speak of his home for hours. About the animals, the different plants, the remedies one could craft from them, and eventually, as always, he’d speak of his family. His precious siblings he’d raise hell to protect. He loves them more than anything because they are all he has in this entire world, no parental figure in sight. So’lek fights down the urge to hold a child he sees himself in when he hears it.

Spider…has subverted every possible expectation So’lek had of him. So pure and naive and filled with hope in spite of what he has already lost, and the dangers surrounding him…

And So’lek planned to break him. Take all of it away and turn him into a cold-blooded soldier. No more then a weapon for the Na’vi to wield.

What in Eywa’s name was he thinking?

So’lek wants to return Spider to high camp and forget about the deal, but it’s too late. He felt his wards crumble as the human he thought he needed to fear nestled deep within his heart, and now they were bound. He looked at the tiny thing sleeping in a hammock far too big for him. Then at the walls, now painted with images of animals and insects; painted the Omatikaya way. He then turned to the floors, now covered in mats Socorro weaved in his free time.

He made this place a home. Put so much effort with both his skill and voice. He brought So’lek’s base alive. Brought alive him even. It is only fair that So’lek puts in the effort to make this a home for the boy as well.

Just for fairness sake, he thought, tucking the child in as a smile tugged at his lips.

He wasn’t getting attached.

Not at all.

my sarentu oc:

So’rani!

i commissioned the lovely @/desis_planetari on twt <3

been having so much fun playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora it’s literally my happy place!!

little facts of so’rani

(SPOILERS FOR AFOP)

- Considers Nor, Ri’nela and Teylan to be her family. Especially sees Teylan as a younger brother

- Still misses Aha’ri everyday, found a little shell that reminds her of her sister. Attached it to the start of her songcord

- Very close with Eetu, as they shared the loss of Zomey and her new bond with her ikran Amay together

- Flies her ikran with Etuwa a lot

- Feels most at home in the Kinglor forest but has a lot of love for the Zeswa clan. She often wears their clothes and visits the sisters often

- Originally conflicted about the Kame’tire and even found Okul strange. Still not as close as with the other clans but visits Anufi often who treats her like a daughter

- Chose not to forgive Alma after seeing the truth about her hand in the Sarentu massacre. Originally trusted Alma deeply but after seeing her true intentions before the event, she couldn’t stand her anymore

- Used to be intimated by So’lek but admired his strength. After a while and one night where she listened to him talk about his clan they formed a friendship. Clears RDA outposts together

- No RDA left alive when fighting. Completely torches any outposts including helicopters, gear etc. She makes sure all loose ends are tied.

- Helps Anqa find scenic places to take Priya too

- Secretly hopes one day she can also find someone like them, but knows there’s no time.

- Felt some anger towards Hajir for his part in feral wildlife. Tries to forgive him now that he’s passed

- Caution to the wind type of person. Will venture into random abandoned facilities/camps just to see what’s lying around

- Absolute CHEEKS at memory painting, Ri’nela makes fun of her.

- Fueled by a need to explore, knows this is why she’s not meant to lead.

- Hopes to one day meet Jake Sully as she heard Resistance members talk about him. Finds it fascinating that a former human is Toruk Makto.

and that’s it!! She’s based off my play style hehe I’d love to know if any of you have also played Frontiers!!

It's so funny how So'lek is such a huge part of FOP's marketing/reputation even though (from my perspective, anyway) when you get to the meat of the story he really just. disappears or moves firmly into the background for big sections of the story so you can focus on speedrunning processing obscene amounts of childhood trauma and helping your nerd buddy break up with his creepy older boyfriend.

#so'lek I love you bby but this game was not your moment #it was teylan and mercer and The Drill #(the drill as both target of decolonial environmentalism and blatant dick metaphor)#teylan #john mercer #the sarentu #so'lek #frontiers of pandora #teycer #avatar frontiers of pandora #avatar series #avatar frontiers #dead dove mention #dead dove #avatar fop #avatar

So'lek saying that seeing his clan butchered and being one of the last of his clan left to survive was his lesson about learning the RDA ways (or more specifically how to use their weaponry) is incredibly profound and honestly inspiring when you interpret it a certain way.

I dont directly relate ofc, bc I'm not a warrior, nor the last of my clan lol, but as a woman of African descent living in the Amerikan diaspora, this rlly hit bc it true that seeing what your oppressors do to your people to keep us repressed and dying will teach you more about them and their ways than anything. Its why history revisionism is such a potent poison for oppressed peoples.

Teylan mentioned how John Mercer taught the residential school Na'vi that Eywa was wicked and deceitful and shouldnt trust her, and of course we learned that he made sure to teach that their Na'vi ancestors are savage and relentless. Such teaching genuinely inspired fear and distrust of their own home and peoples.

I take So'lek's line as an important reminder to stay woke, esp since the actions of white supremacists, imperialists, misogynists, and other bigots, like those that fill the RDA, speak louder than the words of their lies!!!!

(Crossover time babey!!!!)

“Hi, Spider! Welcome to the resistance!”

Summary: after getting caught in the woods by Quaritch and his recombinant squad, Spider is brought to an extraction site on the edges of the eastern territory of Pandora. He’s never been so far from home, and when a mysterious young Na’vi with a legendary mark rescues him it brings Socorro even further into the unknown lands.

RDA, akin to hungry locusts, had spread there too, polluting the soil and massacring Pandorian life for profit, so the boy takes it upon himself to stay, help unite the clans and teach the four confused Sarentu children the way of the Na’vi while he’s at it, but will they succeed in keeping his freedom now that Miles Quaritch has come to the western frontier searching for his captive?
