Paz Socorro - Tumblr Posts
You mentioned Spider is white-Spanish in cannon, is he not half white half Mexican? Just curious as I only know the movies 😁
Actually, the ethnicity and race of Spider's mother is not confirmed in canon! Sorry if my other post was misleading. Spider being Spanish is technically a headcanon, but one I believe is canon compliant. Let me clarify:
Since Jack Champion is fully white, I assume Spider is fully white, because if they wanted the character to be mixed race or something other than white, they should've cast a different actor. If Spider is fully white, that means his mother must've been white as well. Though Paz Socorro's ethnicity isn't confirmed, we do know her last name, which is clearly Hispanic. So from that I draw the conclusion that she was white Hispanic. To be fair, ethnicity and nationality aren't the same thing, so even though Paz is white she could've been Mexican or from another Latin-American country, but since the majority of white Hispanics are from Spain, I headcanon her as Spanish, thus making Spider half Spanish half American.
But at the end of the day, Spider's ethnicity, nationality, and race don't really matter cause he's lightyears away from anyone who cares about that stuff on an alien planet, so take all this with a grain of salt lol

“Your mother was an amazing woman I have ever met and quite stubborn too. Fought me to the teeth in every argument.”
“Really? Mama was like that?”
“Hmph, you got a lot of her qualities in you, kid. Probably for the best”

“And? What happened then? Did she beat your ass?”
“….”
“Quaritch?”
“… Nuthin’ kid.. Let’s get some sleep”
I can’t write good stories like the awesome authors on this website man, I suck at detailed writings lol

Sometimes I like to think that spider used to watch videos of his parents when he was younger. I doubt Norm or Max wanted to tell this young impressionable like six year old that his father was a mass murderer and this is why the parents of your only friends distance themselves from you.
Like just imagine spider had a bad day, maybe Neytiri growled at him for getting to close to newborn baby Tuk or him and Lo’ak got into a physical fight for whatever reason and they’re now grounded from seeing each other for however long. He doesn’t really have anyone to go home to so they can comfort him, Norm and Max are more like the friends of your parents who occasionally watch you during emergencies.
He obviously knows that parents are usually supposed to comfort you when you’re upset, he’s seen it maybe times with the Sully children but he doesn’t have parents or at least he doesn’t believe he does until he does some digging into the labs data base while the adults are asleep. He finds Paz Socorro (obviously his mom bc of their matching last names) and a few links in her file for emergency contacts, he doesn’t even hesitate before clicking on Miles’ name immediately clocking the matching name. He doesn’t read any info on the files before immediately loading the first available video.
A video of Miles just talking about whatever maybe a mission report or just a random message to a higher up but he’s immediately in love, right in front of him is the person he’s longed for his whole life after seeing Jake interacting with the Sully children time after time again. He doesn’t even question his relationship with the man immediately recognizing him as his father: He doesn’t even process the words coming out of his newly discovered fathers mouth before clicking on the next video and then the next and the next… and the next until sunrise, spending the whole time processing everything about his father. His accent, his body language, anything and everything. Maybe he didn’t understand half the words coming out of his fathers mouth but that didn’t matter to him.
There’s still a multitude of videos left but he’s officially out of time as in the next few minutes the scientists will certainly be up and ready to continue their previous nights research.
He goes back to his room to just sit and think about his father and what could’ve been.
The next night he immediately goes to the lab after the scientists are done for the night, stealing a tablet and rushing back to the safe confines of his empty room and decides to watch videos of his mother. The videos are all dated a few months before his birth (unsurprisingly) but he eagerly watches each one hoping that maybe just maybe she’ll mention him and perhaps have a message saved for him. While she doesn’t it doesn’t disturb him too much (can’t miss something you never had.) Spider continues watching videos of his parents every following night eventually recognizing some of their little habits in him, Miles’ way of glowering when too upset to talk Paz’s little snort when laughing and more and can’t help but beam in pride when he figures it out. Especially when he realizes some of his more embarrassing habits came from his parents he comes to wholly embrace them.
He continues watching the videos in secret not really understanding why he keeps it a secret but does so anyways.
Eventually he decides he wants to copy the way his fathers speaks finding the so different accent endearing. He already knows the ins and outs of it due to watching videos of his father for so long, he practices for a while before deeming himself ready. He tries the accent on one of the scientists who IMMEDIATELY stop him mid sentence. They immediately shut him down not explaining why and during a heated argument that ensues the truth comes out.
People who he was once so proud of he only felt shame and guilt about now. Now realizing why Neytiri was always so cold and distant with him.
Only on his worst days is he willing to watch his very favorite videos of his parents. Bad feelings melting away as he delves into the videos immediately returning when the videos end. Shame building up in him as he catches the fondness and love he feels for the monsters in the videos he watches. But that doesn’t stop him from watching them on his worst days when he feels like the only people who care about him are the dead people recorded on his tablet, he isn’t doing anything wrong as long as no one finds out right?
His love develops every video he watches of his parents, no matter how much he tries to fight it. their personalities so very much a like it’s no surprise these people are his parents. Not that he’ll tell anyone about that.
