★ dear selfshippers with winged f/os: imagine grooming/preening your f/os wings for them. it isn't something they'd trust anyone to do other than you. they trust that you won't hurt them, and additionally, they secretly (or not-so-secretly) enjoy being doted over by you.

I've had this thought for a while that Neteyam was like, a justice warrior as a child. He's always taking the blame for Lo'ak and he's so up in his siblings business at all times. I think that would've manifested as much much more annoying when he was a child. I think Neteyam could totally be a little shit in his relentless quest to do what's right. Here is what I mean:

-The first time it happened, Jake was scolding Kiri for wandering off after a bug when his back was turned, causing him to have a full like two minutes of panic where he thought he'd have to tell Neytiri he lost a child. She was located fairly quickly after, but Jake was full of terrified parental adrenaline and insisted to little Kiri rather forcefully that she never do that again. Neteyam, who had been helping him look, then said "It wasn't her fault, don't yell at her." To which Jake (who really wasn't yelling) found himself trying to genuinely reason with two toddlers that the rules were in place for their safety. When Neteyam understands the purpose for the rule, he backs off and respects it. This remains true; once he gets it he follows it.

-Neteyam's insistence for justice knows no bounds. One time Jake saw Spider hit Lo'ak in the head with a spoon and instituted Spider's personal 'table-Lo'ak-can't-climb-up-on' time out all the while ignoring Neteyam's outraged arguing that he was being completely unfair because Jake was directly ignoring that Lo'ak had tripped Spider before the spoon incident and Jake was always playing favorites. Jake had not SEEN the tripping, and it didn't excuse the spoon thing.

-It's literally so hard not to argue with Neteyam sometimes. Neytiri is better at it because she had more experience with kids than Jake, but even she falls victim to it sometimes. He just literally refuses to mind his own business in all situations. That and 'worry about your own self' are human phrases that have become almost more common than any Na'vi one in their house. "Sempu, Kiri is trying to sneak a piece of fruit after you told her not to-" "Neteyam, mind your own business." "But you said she can't have any yet!"

-One time Spider told Lo'ak that he could borrow his datapad that Norm gave him for his lessons. Lo'ak insisted Spider said he could have it forever. No one was quite sure exactly what the truth was, but all hell broke loose when Spider took it back, causing Lo'ak (and Justice Warrior Neteyam) to insist he stole it. Jake told Lo'ak to leave it, as Spider can't steal what he owns, obviously. Cue Neteyam being ten times more outraged on Lo'ak's behalf than Lo'ak even was. This time when Jake tells him to mind his own business Neteyam says "well, you aren't!" Jake struggles, he reboots, and when he's back online he says to his eight year old son, "I didn't think I had to explain what was different between me and you here."

-Regularly Neteyam is not involved in a situation but will get put in a time out as well because he wouldn't let it go. Sometimes though, he can be talked down. If you get on his level and explain the rules and why someone is in trouble clearly, he's usually chill.

curious, as I was looking at cars today and an 'upgrade' option for one included faux leather on the seats and I don't think I managed not to pull a face. the dealer was super surprised at my dislike of this option (I did say 'ah, I don't really like that'), but my dad reassured me afterwards that he hates them so much too, as does his gf

but the fact that the guy who sells cars to lossa people seemed to think *not* liking the leather option was weird... I wonder...

Little Man had his regular cardiology appointment yesterday with the local cardiologist (who has officially become his primary cardiologist even though that wasn't actually supposed to happen until after he had his surgery).

He asked me if surgery hospital had let me know the plan for surgery and I was like nope. So he explained that to me the when and the rationale behind why it's then instead of at 6 months. Surgery will 100% happen at 8 months - so we're looking at the end of November/beginning of December. On the one hand, that's an amazing timeline because if there are no complications, I'll use maybe 10-15 days of sick leave and FMLA time (I only have 19 days of FMLA left, so I won't have to juggle that). On the other hand, if there are complications, we'll likely spend on first Christmas in the hospital and that'll suck.

We talked about his intake and how he's still only averaging 14-17 oz a day which at almost 5 months is not ok. And he was like, who are you seeing for nutrition here, and I was like no one. And he was like ok, who at surgery hospital. And I was like, we haven't seen nutrition at all since he was in the NICU Which he apologized for. But like I don't blame him because this was the first appointment where he was officially the primary cardiologist So we have a nutrition consultation in a couple weeks.

I also mentioned the few times he's been crying where his lips have turned blue. And I was like I know he's not supposed to cry at all, but it's hard because he's a baby. And he was like, he can cry. I was like no, Dr. B said he shouldn't cry at all, his heart can't handle it. And he was like, that's for babies in heart failure. It's okay for him to cry. Because like you said, he's a baby and it's part of life. So basically I've been obsessing about my baby crying and feeling like an utter failure when he does cry and I can't get him to calm down for the last like 3.5 months and it wasn't necessary. Basically, he's not worried about the blue lips because it's not constant and it self-corrects within seconds so it's not a tet spell.

He doesn't go back until October because he's doing so well. Which going from every 2 weeks he was being seen by cardiology to now we're at 2 months without a visit unless something happens, which is amazing. That visit should be his last visit with our local cardiologist before surgery. Because he'll have a handful with the cardiologists and the surgery team at the surgery hospital before.

Hey! Another historical fiction fan :) I also write (am going to write) fics for books, starting with a Winter of the World fic. It's still a WiP (but reader insert, pairing with Werner). The Century trilogy is so addicting.

I'm so happy there's more of ussss!! In AO3 I'm pretty sure there's only like another person and I who've written fics for that trilogy! Any and every fic is welcome :D

If you ever want a beta readers or just somebody to talk to about the story I'm all ears <3

To HYDRA, Bucky was nothing more than a weapon. He was like a loaded gun, constantly being used and triggered both literally and figuratively, put away until they had a job for him.
