love how i keep drawing these two in rlly intimate and loving positions but in reality they’re like genuinely evil as fuck to each other 😝😝 for the majority of their time together nilo thinks of him as an extension of her RDA captors + she hates marines (cheater ex-husband)

first pic is og file second is with filter i couldn’t figure out which i liked better so i post both 😛

some people’s arctic na’vi fanclans have been pissing me off so i’ve been writing down notes. i don’t have time to work on this rn but trust….. it will happen…. i also have more thoughts but i forgot to write them down lol

polar na’vi ideas

- shorter, rounder ears (allen’s rules)

- bergmann’s rules: polar na’vi would be shorter and heavier set than equatorial na’vi. I would say your average polar na’vi would likely be around 7 ft tall.

- nothing on pandora is confirmed to have fur other than na’vi as far as I know, so i wonder if they would possibly adapt to have fur… this would take MILLIONS of years tho, so arctic na’vi could possibly be a completely different species, incapable of interbreeding with equatorial na’vi. someone please correct me if im wrong cuz im too lazy to look at the wiki rn*

- **+EDIT thank u ppl who commented abt fur cuz im a lazy bastard 😄 I still think it would be a bit difficult to explain how arctic na’vi could have fur, unless it’s 100% confirmed that equatorial na’vi have some kind of “peach fuzz” at least. i considered the idea that perhaps it would be a retained symplesiomorphic trait from the shared ancestor with prolemuris, but it would be a bit difficult for polar na’vi to still be the same species as equatorial na’vi with any significant amount of fur adaptation beyond a thin, sparse layer. even though our human equivalent could be considered homo sapiens vs homo neanderthalensis, we still weren’t that much different since we could interbreed. In this case, again, I wonder how genetically detached polar na’vi would be from equatorial populations in the case that they were to develop fur…

- if not fur, polar na’vi possibly could’ve adapted a reinforced blubber-type tissue in replacement of fat to maintain heat

- in humans, melanin production is primarily affected by sun exposure and vitamin D intake- that is why scandinavians are pale and the inuit are darker skinned. The inuit have ample vitamin D in their diets, so they retained their darker pigmentation.

- so, I say that an arctic na’vi would be much more pigmented for reasons like warmth attraction and sun protection. Their hair would also be dark for this same reason.

- I think their eyes would be smaller

- cold, arid climates typically call for smaller/thinner that warm up and humidify air, so I think their noses would be smaller on average

- their feet would be large and wide for trekking across snow, but I also think they likely would be wearing shoes

i know everyone has quaritch as the sub in the relationship/bedroom but having actually seen the movie, i don't feel that's really the case. like quaritch points out, varang doesn't actually want a submissive little pet. she wants an equal, a man, someone who can match her in every single way. in fact, i don't think she would've liked him if he was submissive. the moments she seems most intrigued by him is when he meets her head on. when he shows strength, power, control. that's what makes him attractive to her. she's so used to dominating everyone that when he snarls back, when he shows he's not just going to crumble at her feet, that he can fully meet AND match her crazy, she's like oh. oh.

[archaieus]

a woman actually wanting to be submissive for a man is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of ppl… can’t say it’s not for good reason!! and i think just bc a woman is submissive in bed doesn’t mean she’s not powerful. in my opinion the urge to immediately say the woman in a het relationship is the top/dominant, while understandable, could inadvertently be fueled by the belief that penetration = domination/ownership/objectification by default when that is not true (when looked at outside the lens of cishet dominated society)… my fellow queers of all ppl should know this… i think i am getting carried away a little bit but i hope u pick up what im putting down….

i personally believe that varang has her own best interest in mind and hers alone. doesn’t give a single genuine shit about quaritch. she’s a very, very strong and beautiful princess with a disorder 🩵 she’s allowing him to metaphorically take the reigns, because in reality, she’s the one in control 🩵

shorthand understanding of recom quaritch via the conflicting external influences in his relationships. I like to draw stuff out like this to reference when I'm writing fanfic or whatever so feel free to use it or add your own take 🤸

[archaieus]

was reading comments under a video essay about an indigenous analysis of avatar. someone mentioned how multifaceted and interesting the story would be if jake was native, and i honestly think im going to adapt that into my personal canon. i can’t stand the fact that he’s another white military guy who fell in love with a woman of color while out on deployment.

i can see native jake in my minds eye… cuz it’s like, he couldn’t save his people, his brother. maybe he comes from a tribe where the language has been lost to time, and ancestral lands are no longer due to historic displacement and modern development. he has seen what colonization does and how that trauma is passed down through generations. the layers it could’ve added…

honesty, i’m not sure if i’m glad he’s not canonically native tho, cuz i think it def runs the risk of becoming the “righteous/magical native” trope… esp with a white guy writing it. (yes i am aware that this trope is lowkey the whole movie but it could’ve been worse!!)

[archaieus]

maybe slight AFAA spoilers!!!

I SAID IT ONCE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN…. NEYTIRI IS MY LAURA PALMER 💔💔💔💔 she has every fucking right to hate humans as much as she does. that fight between neytiri and jake was lowkey triggering cuz like ive argued with a man like that so many times, where they insult you to all hell for something completely justifiable then go ahead and try to comfort you after tearing you apart. the manipulation made me feel sick. jake is a white man and he will always be a white man he will never understand her anguish. neytiri is the biggest victim of this whole franchise 💔💔 my sweet girl 💔💔💔💔 while i do think it’s a little fucked up that she resents her children for their human traits i don’t think she lets it show in the way that she treats them, unlike how jake just blatantly hates his son. god

also like, i get it, jake is grieving too. everyone has their own ways of grieving. i don’t think it’s an excuse to be a fucking asshole tho!!!!!!! it’s just showing his true colors. yes jake is an important character and i obviously want him to survive and win but god he gets on my nerves so bad sometimes. i also know how funny this is coming from a quaritch lover and all i can to that is touché LOL😭😭

[cottoncandiescupcakes]

AVATAR varang spoilers

I think people misunderstand Quaritch and Varang

Her having sex with him doesn't change her character or reduces her to 'his uwu girlfriend'

Like... she persued him first. She finds him attractive, which, I mean, HE IS. The point of her is that she does what she wants, she's impulsive. Like, she blows up her own huts at some point to use the flame thrower, she lights one of her men on fire to blow up a sky ship. She finds Quaritch attractive so she has sex with him. She's not under his spell by any means. She doesn't even seduce him to get his weapons, if nothing else he seduces her lmao like sorry if the man's rizz bothers you

It's like two evil people bonding over a love of destruction and then hooking up because they find each other hot and powerful. They're not in love. It's not 'toxic' either because they both want it lmao

It's evil people happily banging and shooting stuff with a flame thrower. They are equals, like he said. He's not somehow more powerful than her because they had sex. She literally hit on him first and wanted him to be her sex slave, that's not a woman being a submissive uwu girlfriend, that's a woman taking what she wants

Women can have sex and still be evil and scary and I just hate that take

[archaieus]

WOMEN R ALLOWED TO JUST WANT SEX!! i also feel like if anything it would be one sided feelings from quaritch, but not real feelings… more like man feelings. anyone that’s been in a strictly “low stakes, for fun” relationship with a heterosexual man knows how they get attached and feel like they’re entitled to being loved back. yeah

this is how i feel trying to make nilo and quaritch work
