Hopes for Avatar 3? Thoughts on the Ash People? Any unresolved questions that need answers? Thoughts on the Recoms? Hopes for Avatars 4 & 5?

Hopes for avatar 3

As much Spider content as possible obvs, although the thing I am most excited about is the scene that Jack Champion said in an interview was his favourite scene to film and also the one he was most proud of 🥺 To me, that sounds like an emotional scene 🥺 I want Spider's neglect to be addressed, I want Spider and Quaritch to be reunited, I want to find out why Spider is lying in a freaking link bed, but above all, I want more kickass shots of Neytiri shooting arrows through RDA windscreens upside down 😍🤤

Thoughts on the Ash People

I think Varang will be morally dubious at least, evil at most. I think there will be a tentative deal/working relationship between her and Quaritch, and Quaritch will possibly turn against her in the end for Spider.

Any unresolved questions that need answers?

Yessss the biggest question mark for me is over Neytiri and Spider's relationship and how that is going to develop going forward. And of course, who the heck is Kiri's dad (if it's not Eywa at this point, we riot?)

Thoughts on the Recoms?

I am split! I love hearing both sides of the argument. On the one hand, they are not the people they are clones of, like it or not. However, if they believe that what their predecessors did was righteous, then that makes them just as bad. So I don't have a strong opinion either way. I suppose I do believe that they could be redeemed in this fictional universe, but in real life, no.

Hopes for Avatars 4 & 5?

Kiri and Spider don't get together romantically, Neytiri gets a happy ending, Lo'ak and Tsireya stay together, Eywa helps to heal Earth, Pandora is left alone to heal, Tuk becomes an amazing Tsahik 💞

Ask me my thoughts!

fia’s scene alone at the beginning of ep. 33 has destroyed me. let me fall asleep planking in a hand-dug trench surrounded by dried fruit.

[lumaxramblings]

hard to pick one so here’s some to choose from lolol. that scene in ep 1 s4 where she’s listening to his game & ep4 s4 where she’s writing the letters & that scene in s3 where el comes over to her house & takes her to the mall i think ep 2 & the scene in s2 where they’re on top of the bus talking. pretty hard to pick one scene

THAT'S A LOT OKAY. LETS DO THIS. IM HONING MY MAX MAYFIELD ANALYZING SKILLS YOUR HONOR.

so that scene is clearly the show telling us that she still cares for our favourite teen dork, which is absolutely true (and very well done imo). she doesn't care about the game as she switches it off as soon as it ends but she listens to it for lucas, showing a care that she doesn't want to admit she still feels because... well, vulnerability. but here she lets herself be weak. she listens to the whole game until lucas's name appears - and keep in mind he's a benchwarmer. there's a high chance his name wouldn't have even been said, so she clearly cares about him, or else she wouldn't have listened to the entire game. tl;dr she cares about him a lot more than she lets him know

as i already answered the bulk of this in a previous ask, i'm gonna just do a brief version. she's resigned herself to her fate, and uses all night + all morning to write letters filled to the brim with emotions her emotionally constipated ass has been avoiding for months, which just shows how much she's accepted what's coming, hinting more at her implied suicidal ideations.

a reason why i love analyzing st3 max in particular so much is because she's more relaxed in her opinions than in the other two seasons. i'm going to explain the advice scene because it's really quite fascinating. so, max's parents are divorced, and max's stepdad is a piece of shit, and depending of how much runaway max is canon, max's mum has had several relationships with guys who lied. i've talked about max + honesty here so i'm not going into detail about that. what max does is very interesting here - as a result of both being young and having trauma, it's resulted in her being a little narrow-minded, so while hopper and mike genuinely do want el to be safe, max automatically assumes bad intentions due to having rules imposed upon in her by the men in her life (neil, b1ll7). she projects not only herself onto el, but also projects her mum and her failing relationships onto herself. in runaway max, max describes susan as 'her personality blending into every guy she meets', which i think is pretty canon (which is why she is the way she is in st4), she's afraid of that happening to el, which is why she tells her to dump him. also, that's something that's worked for her against the people controlling in her life, as with b1ll7 and the nailbat. tl;dr max's bad dating advice is a result of her trauma

i think it's explained pretty well in max + honesty, so.

I know it's still in progress but - when it's too heavy to carry, remember this moment with me (they say love is a journey) for the fanfic director's cut

Ah, this fic. THIS FIC. this monster of a fic that was never meant to be that big and yet, it seems that every time I say "oh, I just have this idea, but it doesn't have to become a huge thing" IT DOES. fucking #oops

Let’s Start at the Very Beginning, a Very Good Place to Start.

A little bit of context:

I wrote my first cursebreaking fic right after the finale, which took me over a month and a half to write and post. Many braincells were lost in the war, and I swore to myself I was done with big, elaborated plots and cases.

(In that era, I also wrote out the entire plot of my massive future murder on a plane fic, so, you know - promises I make to myself, lmao girl)

I was also in a weird place emotionally then, as I was on sick leave, about to quit my job, and yet I also had all the time in the world to write. And, as it happens, to start plotting this next big thing, my "undercover as a married couple in the moth curse era"

And thus it began.

At first, I didn't imagine how much of the story would revolve about the actual plot and haunting. I was like - a wellness therapy center, that's my wheelhouse since I'm a therapist, Imma gonna put years of experience into this. Make Nancy and Ace The Ultimate Couple™ that everybody wonders why they're here since they're so perfect for each other and make it deliciously torturous since it's in the curse-era and Nancy can't tell Ace why she's been so distant.

But then, you know me...a wild plot appeared. So I started filling my spreadsheets, figuring everything out. The idea stayed a bit dormant for a week, until...

PSA: I get my best ideas in the shower and the subway.

Honestly, this visual launched the whole fic for me. I started writing the first chapter that day and posted it the following day.

Bringing a family heirloom from Ace was very personal to me. Being of Ashkenazi descent myself, it's always very important to me to stay true to that heritage, especially for a character like Ace. The show did a pretty good job of including Judaism, in subtle, cute ways, but never as the butt of a joke or just in passing like other shows do (see: my forever rage over Arrow never giving more than two minutes about Felicity's faith). I feel like, to non-Jewish people, some references are subtle enough that you wouldn't mind not getting them, but to me, they always feel extra important. My grandma's kugel recipe is a beautiful childhood memory, and that scene between Thom and Ace at the preccinct always warms my heart. Ace's grandfather being a Holocaust survivor, his grandparents speaking Yiddish, oy vey, all of these are very personal to me and to a lot of Jewish people and I love that the show gives such representation: Jews by choice, people identifying as half-Jewish like Tamura, Jews with a disability...

And so that's why I included a lot of that in this story. In most of my stories, really (especially the Hanukkah and Pessah fic, but everywhere, really). And Ace giving Nancy that ring was his way of saying - I'm giving you my all. I feel like that's a lot, especially coming from the man who believes himself unworthy and not enough for her. More than once in the show, his Judaism and his knowledge have saved the day; in this story, it's the love that comes with it that does.

Anyway! that was a lot! thanks for the ask @winterlovesong1 ! 💜

i am here to discuss soft dayasco hello

i've been thinking a lot about them holding hands probably because daya is an established Lover Of Hand Holding which lead me to think about reunion dayasco and daya clutching bosco with both of her hands (which i always need to reiterate. BOTH HANDS) which further lead my thoughts to bimbo betty being very overwhelmed and overstimulated (innocent connotations) and about to spontaneously combust before bosco touches her and just holds both of her hands in their own and simply Exists there with her until she's absolutely not going to explode and combust and. okay so i think about bosco comforting daya a lot in a very gentle and quiet way where she doesn't need to say anything because they don't Need words as they're always on the (daya voice) same wavelength and i think. daya is a pretty physical person therefore she's more receptive to comfort delivered to her being physical in nature and bosco is better at making her feel safe by just. you know . tenderly placing a comforting hand on her knee than by actually saying words and giving empty platitudes as stated before they simply don't need words they are emotionally connected on so many levels~~

hi. i made some images.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

[not-spiders]

here’s to all the weird little girls growing up into even weirder men

[brawnie]

*grabbing mlm shippers by the shoulders* guys nobody needs to be the twink. nobody needs to be the sub. nobody needs to be the femboy. they can both be big fat hairy men who bask in each others masculinity or they can both be unspeakable monstrous creatures with inhuman genitalia it’s okay I’m holding your hand. Let me show you the way
