And If It's Possible For You, Could You Make A Story Of Avatar 2 By Neytiri And Spider Socorro Together

And if it's possible for you, could you make a story of Avatar 2 by Neytiri and Spider Socorro together mother and son, please?

When I first saw the prompt, I was shocked, because I'd never thought of writing something like that before and it felt out of my comfort zone as I haven't written Neytiri much. I almost deleted it. But for some reason, it kept sitting in the back of my head and I finally decided just to give it a chance and write a little one shot. And that one shot turned into a two shot. Which turned into a three shot. So by the time I realized I had enough for three separate chapters I figured I might as well commit to making this a proper fic.

This was seriously the hardest thing I’ve ever written. When I first decided to attempt the prompt, my first thought was an AU where they adopt Spider right from the beginning, but then I thought it would be more interesting if I tried to keep things canonical but diverge from the main storyline instead. I tried so hard to write both Spider and Neytiri true to how they behave in canon while also trying to create a scenario where they would realistically bond like a mother and son. It’s really difficult since they have such a rocky relationship, I deadass think it would’ve been easier to write a Quaritch X Jake romance that sticks close to canon lmao. I'm not sure if the end result is exactly what anon had in mind, but this is what came of it, so I hope y'all enjoy!

and yes, I know I also said I would continue Special Treatment and Lucky Number Five. I am planning to continue them, my life's just gotten a lot busier, so I can't make any promises about updates unfortunately.

And as for Common Enemy... 😭😭😭 I think I intimidated myself out of finishing it, I might just go back and clean up the sketches and then post the comic as it is right now, you guys will still be able to enjoy the story, it'll just have sketchy art instead of the usual finished product, cause I bit off way more than I could chew with 15 pages.

working on Beasts of Burden today if my damn house doesn't blow over 🌪️ smfh BUT here's some misc fankid AU Spider stuff I jotted down last night:

Idk who or where it was said but someone in [discord server] at some point was like "quaritch with a daughter would be too easy [ofc he'd adore her.] Sons are where the drama is at" and I agree which is why this au is my fluffy dopamine Minecraft generator bdjdjdk

Anyway I'm also a drama-loving bitch Quaritch and Spider are both Mutually Uncomfortable with each other throughout this whole situation and equally unsure what to do about it or how to progress

on one hand the recoms don't get around to doing anything worse than the incident in the woods but on the other hand, Seadragon fight never happens so:

1. knife confrontation accidental feelings reveal also never happens

2. they don't grow quite as close as canon since quaritch's attention during that period is also split between lyle, the pregnancy, and defection

Spider wants so badly to just hate or be ambivalent towards his father. He moves in w the sullies to no pushback from Q (although he's a lil disappointed/huffy about it). On the other side of the coin, now he's not even trying to kill them or anything. He's just living his domestic-ass house arrest life next door and deep down he wants to get closer—he just doesn't want to get closer to *Quaritch.*

Q is admittedly Very busy with new parent chaos even after the defection debacle calms down, but mainly he just feels vague guilt re: his son.

He knows he loves him, but not at all in the same way he loves Ellie. He's acutely aware that while spider is his kid, he's not his baby. There's a small, yet important distinction there—which makes him feel bad even if he can't word it. He nearly gives up his life for Ellie before she's even born, and he didn't even stay alive for his son's sake, let alone surrender. it's all just really uncomfortable for him to think about, but it's not exactly something he can undo. He thinks Spider is at-best neutral towards him, so his best idea is to just leave it be (aka never talk about it ever out of Man Fright)

Spider feels a conflicting mix of comraderie and envy towards Ellie. He's glad she's not going through what he went though, but at the same time he just. Can't stand being around her for very long—at least not if Quaritch is there. It's too hard to watch him be all soft and sappy, even if spider doesn't want that kind of affection from quaritch. He doesn't feel as strong of a connection with her as he does the sullies, but he likes her. They grow closer as the years pass

Lyle only attempts to mediate once or twice. Neither of them pretend to have any true relationship to each other; Spider doesn't particularly like Lyle and Lyle doesn't particularly dislike Spider, and it just kinda cancels out.

Like several people, Spider doesn't know what his dad sees in him. They've had Very few 1:1 conversations before, but that doesn't stop Lyle—mainly bc he thinks them making up will help quaritch's mental state and because holy fuck their hands are full and working towards any amount of help is smth he's def interested in. At least, at the start. Spider watches her sometimes, but only when Q gets enough of his strength back to resume swimming/breath training (and even then it's rare that Lyle isn't watching her or bringing her along with Q so).

Ok, so about Dr Karina Mogue. I think she will be the RDA scientist who will try to figure out how Spider was changed and how it can be replicated. I think she will be brought to study the results from whatever tests they'll run on him (maybe even the samples they will take) when he is captured by RDA after the miracle. I also think that it will lead her to trying to figure out Eywa - what she is and how she works.

I'm not sure if she will be evil (Michelle Yeoh was so great and clearly had a lot of fun in Star Trek in very Recom Quaritch like role) and try to use this knowledge to destroy Eywa and adapt humans for Pandora so they can replace Na'vi. Or if her work will lead her to change sides and maybe use her knowledge to save Earth instead (I'm rooting for this option).

ooh that's a great theory! With all the strange stuff leaked that will happen to Spider in A3, it makes sense the RDA would want to study it, and if there's gonna be a big focus on it in future movies it also makes sense they'd introduce a new character as the main scientist studying it. I hope she'll join the resistance too, but I bet Yeoh will be able to pull of a good villain if not!

But this just makes me scared for Spider. It's unclear how the "miracle" will happen to him, but one theory my reddit friend u/ellestra came up with is that Spider himself won't have a physical or genetic change, but rather that the sacred strands from one of the spirit trees will go inside of his lungs and act as a built in filter, filtering out the harmful gases in the atmosphere but letting oxygen pass through. Similar to how humans on earth have bacteria cultures in our guts that have a symbiotic relationship with us; the bacteria cultures get a warm, moist environment to live in and we get help digesting our food. The sacred strands will be like that, living off the nutrients in his body and filtering the unbreathable atmosphere in return.

It would be similar to what happened to Grace, when the na'vi were able to create a temporary kuru for her so she could connect with Eywa before dying. I believe u/Ellestra's theory is pretty likely, much more likely than Spider undergoing a genetic/physical mutation, cause basically his entire cardiovascular and respiratory system would have to be drastically changed to adapt to Pandora's gasses.

All this is to say is that if the RDA wants figure out what happened to Spider, they'll probably have to look into his lungs, which I imagine would involve some extremely unethical science experiments... poor Spider 😭 I hope Dr. Mogue will be a good guy and not let anything too terrible happen to him if this theory is true but we'll have to wait and see.

I have this idea about Spider gradually starting to wear some clothes in the months during A2, including (cutoff) shorts lmao. I was briefly in the airforce version of ROTC during highschool and I despised wearing BDUs in humid heat. Texture of sandpaper and breathability of cellophane,,, hellish

(I really want to make a second post just elaborating on this concept/talking abt his character design, so lmk if you're interested! I also hope to use it in a video essay sometime, once an HD copy of the movie becomes available)
