Headcanon for how Tsu’tey is as a mate

He swore he’d never love again after Sylwanin died, he was ready to become a mated pair with Neytiri for the sake of the clan and nothing more

Truth be told, he was secretly relieved when Neytiri and Jake were a mated pair, after Jake came back as Toruk Makto

When he survived the battle against the sky people he was even more closed off than before

You assisted your clan helping the wounded making sure Tsu’tey healed well despite the grumpy moans and groans

He would argue with you and push you away because he was terrified that he was indeed falling in love with you

He is shy and guarded as a mate but incredibly giving: many gifts like necklaces bracelets woven tops and matching loincloths acts of service

He’s fiercely loyal and protective of you despite knowing you’re more than capable of protecting yourself

He wanted to court you in the traditional Omatikaya way which was slow and calculated

He built a bigger kelku for the both of you not allowing you to lift a finger, and as a compromise you were on accessories and decor duties

Once he officially asked you to be his mate he took you to the spirit tree where you both made Tsaheylu mating under Eywa herself

Once Jake found out he immediately started planning an entire feast for the both of you with protests from Tsu’tey but ultimately caved because he was just too damn happy to say no

The night you mated you fell pregnant

Shortly after your first baby, a girl. You and Tsu’tey adopted several orphaned na’vi toddlers from the war who were being looked after by some of the elders

During your pregnancy you were not allowed to lift a single finger, other than mundane simple tasks like foraging and weaving

Tsu’tey is a composed man and has an incredible amount of self restraint so when you went into labor he had everything lined up for your birth

Both of you went on to have 3 more babies of your own with your two adopted sons; he’s always wanted a large family living happily in the jungle seeing your children grow up and lead prosperous lives

WIP Introduction: Phoenix

Genre: Sci-fi, superhero, coming-of-age

Audience: Young adults/early twenties

Tags: #phoenix the novel, #phoenix, #ash, #jett rivera, #sophie rivera, #beck rivera, #phoenix and ash, #phoenix x jett

Stage of writing process: first draft

Synopsis:

Jett's family has been protecting this city for generations, and as the oldest child, he's quickly stepping into place as the new leader in the fight against their main nemesis, Sterling. Until Sterling turns up dead after a battle, leaving behind two traumatized child soldiers, 21-year-old Phoenix and 8-year-old Ash. Now Jett has to deal with the new threat of the very angry and very fiery Phoenix, along with trying to form a bond with Ash, whom he spontaneously adopted.

Ash isn't used to receiving affection or kindness. But Jett and the superheroes, the people he's supposed to hate, are giving him both. Could it really be that there are people who don't immediately resort to abuse at any provocation? And even if it's true, should he stay with them or try to get back to his sister Phoenix, even though she and Jett are enemies?

Phoenix has dealt with Sterling's abuse all her life, and now that she's free, she's ready to take her life into her own hands. And part of that includes taking down the heroes that she blames for not rescuing her as a child. But two things stand in her way: the fact that they've taken in her brother/not-brother Ash, and the way Jett infuriatingly continues to extend kindness to her, even though she knows it has to be some sort of trap. As she goes on a journey of self-discovery and arson, will Jett be able to break through to her before she destroys herself?

new favorite AO3 comment dropped. short, simple, to the point. made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt.

[and-fishing-equipment]

"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

One Piece episode 1089 thoughts (anime only spoilers, if you haven't watched):

that ending song! I already had listened to it when I saw that Maki Otsuki was singing it. But it didn't have to go that hard to remind me of "Memories"

I forgot how much the anime plays up the Zoro & Sanji bickering. It's a less prominent in the manga. I also think the anime pushes the ZoSan vibes a lot more.

just. cut. the. water. Zoro

Also reminded of why Zoro has become less interesting to me. He's just kinda there, being stoic and cool. I miss his goofier attributes.

weirdly neutral on the skin changes, if only because in the manga color spreads everyone has the same skin tone

there was a lot more details to the destruction of Lulusia. It was vaguer and more abrupt in the manga

the little scene with Robin and Chopper inside on Sunny was cute ^-^

Robin giving herself tea! brilliant

Franky furling the main sail with his cyborg abilities A+! (can't remember the move exactly and don't want to misstate it)

I really would like the Straw Hats to go to an AUTUMN island someday. They've been to like three wintry places by now. -_-

the ending explanation with Chopper and Robin was both precious and hilarious. Like, here's all the info you need about this character in case you have no idea who he is. Thanks for that. We've now reached the point in the story where we've got to summarize for an audience that might be coming into the story now by watching this episode.

the animation is reminiscent of movie 6

Reblog if you’re grateful for your commenters <3

[charbroiledchicken]

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

I've already said that my number one piece of writing advice is to read.

But my number two piece of advice is this: be deliberate.

Honestly this would fix so many pieces of bad writing advice. Don't forbid people from doing something, tell them to be conscious and deliberate about it. This could help stop people from falling into common mistakes without limiting their creativity. Black and white imperatives may stop a few annoying beginner habits, but ultimately they will restrict artistic expression.

Instead of "don't use epithets": "Know the effect epithets have and be deliberate about using them." Because yes, beginners often misuse them, but they can be useful when a character's name isn't known or when you want to reduce them to a particular trait they have.

Instead of "don't use 'said'" or "just use 'said'": "Be deliberate about your use of dialogue tags." Because sometimes you'll want "said" which fades into the background nicely, but sometimes you will need a more descriptive alternative to convey what a character is doing.

Instead of "don't use passive voice": "Be deliberate about when you use passive voice." Because using it when it's not needed can detract from your writing, but sometimes it can be useful to change the emphasis of a sentence or to portray a particular state of mind.

Instead of blindly following or ignorantly neglecting the rules of writing, familiarize yourself with them and their consequences so you can choose when and if breaking them would serve what you're trying to get across.

Your writing is yours. Take control of it.

It probably sounds like I'm preaching to the choir here because most of my mutuals are already great writers. But I'm hoping this will make it to the right people.
