Cute Noccoro tropes please?
Hi! I am not totally sure if you meant headcanons or tropes. If I answered this in a way you didn't mean, please let me know! I'm gonna answer with tropes I think work really well with nocorro though. So, let's get into it!
-Friends to lovers, this is just their lives. There is something so entirely wholesome about sweet children Neteyam and Spider just growing into each other despite all the adversity.
-Work adversaries, lol. This would have to be in that vague au where Spider was also an Olo'eyktan's son (I think we had Paz as the Olo'ekte for that) or one where Jake and Quaritch were business adversaries or something. Maybe Neytiri's family runs a non-profit that spends half their time protesting against whatever shady bullshit Quaritch's company is trying to achieve. The idea of Spider and Neteyam both being older children molded to be their father's replacements is so fun and juicy. Plot twist though, Neteyam is obsessed with living up to that image, and Spider wants to be as antithetical as possible. The drama comes from them both trying to figure out of they are using each other or not.
-Soul mates, I don't even have to expand on this one.
-Same with forbidden love/star crossed lovers.
-Second chance; okay picture this guys. Neteyam and Spider have always loved each other, and have always kept it to themselves. It isn't until Neteyam is dying, bleeding out on the rocks, that Neteyam tells Spider. He has nothing left to loose, he is dying. Tragic confession and then he passes out. He will be damned if he dies without them finally out loud acknowledging his feelings. Spider's crying and shaking him and saying he loves him back and he can't just say that and die! But, surprise surprise, he fucking lives. Now they have to awkwardly deal with the consequences???
Spider: obviously, I love you too, but why did you have to tell me in front of everyone??
Neteyam: Well, I didn't think I was going to have to lIVE WITH IT, now did I?

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?
Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.
All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)
But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.
But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.
I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?
It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.
Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.
Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

this is an appreciation post for annabeth chase
the girl who held the sky, played a large part in ending the war against Kronos, single handedly retrieved the athena parthenos while unapologetically giving sass to minor and not so minor gods
thank you for teaching us that we aren’t invisible
that we’re loved
and brave and strong
and wise
and worthy of happiness
your impact will never be forgotten
