“I will be no longer complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine.”

Another silly headcanon for Spider (inspired by me finding all my baby teeth that my mom keeps in a box for some reason):

Every member of the Sully family has one or more of Spider's baby teeth. It starts all because of a misunderstanding.

Norm had told Spider that his front bottom tooth was set to fall out soon, something Spider didn't understand because Na'vi children don't lose their teeth. Norm skips over explaining that Spider once again is not Na'vi, and instead tells Spider to just bring the tooth back to Hell's Gate if it comes out while he's playing outside. When asked why, Norm and Max explained that he needed to keep his tooth so that the tooth fairy could come and give him a gift in exchange for his tooth.

Now, Spider has no frame of reference for anything that they're talking about. All his 5-year-old brain gets is that somewhere out there, there is a human who steals kids' teeth, and he's terrified.

Later that day, Spider goes careening through the forest and bursts into Mo'at's pod where everyone tends to eat lunch, yelling in broken Navi about a theft coming to take his teeth.

Jake immediately understands what he talking about, but he’s too busy laughing to properly explain. By the time he catches his breath, Mo’at, Neytiri, and the kids have both been thoroughly convinced that there is a theft among humans taking children’s teeth. In a rare moment of compassion towards the human boy, Neytiri assures him that she will protect his teeth. Jake decided not to tell them the truth and just let events play out.

Spider winds up losing his tooth later that day, roughhousing with Lo’ak, who takes great pride in telling everyone he will protect Spider’s tooth from this "tooth theft".

And thus brings the saga of the Sully family all coming into possession of Spider’s baby teeth (to keep safe from the tooth theft, of course).

Lo’ak gets Spider’s first baby tooth but winds up with 10 over the years (much to Kiri and Neteyam’s envy). To be fair, Lo’ak is responsible for most of them falling out anyway. He takes all of them after Spider loses his last one and weaves them into an intricate armband that he wears during festivals and special events to always have a piece of Spider with him.

Kiri has 3 of his baby teeth, the majority of which she keeps in a wooden chest she made for all her most prized possessions. The first one she got was one of Spider’s left upper canines that she wiggled out herself after nagging Spider about it for days. She used it as a charm on her anklet and never took it off.

Neteyam also has 3 baby teeth - all molars. 2 fell out simultaneously while Spider was eating Pali jerky. The first, however, fell out just before their first hunt. Spider had been wiggling it all night, and it fell out while Jake was checking their gear. Spider handed it to Neteyam, declaring that their hunt would be fruitful because that was his lucky tooth. Spider never shares what about the tooth made it lucky, but they both caught their first yerik that day, so Neteyam takes it with him whenever he goes hunting. After the humans return, he encases the tooth in amber into his bow, hoping that its luck will protect him in battle.

Tuk, Jake, Neytiri, and Mo’at each have 1, with Tuk getting the last baby tooth Spider ever lost. It was his left upper front tooth, and like Lo’ak, she was the cause of it falling out because she accidentally head-butted him while he was eating with a cannula. Thankfully, he didn’t choke on it, and now Tuk has it on her songcord, representing Spider as her brother.

Jake gets his tooth gifted to him by Spider after it falls out. It’s his other front tooth that Spider wiggled out himself and decided to give to the man because Lo’ak was annoying that day. Jake denies wholeheartedly that he cried afterward. He, too, adds it to his songcord on Spider’s 13th birthday, declaring that Spider is now a man since all his baby teeth are gone.

Mo’at has the second baby tooth Spider ever lost because she had to pull it out herself. Spider had fallen and chipped the tooth, causing extreme pain. Since Hell’s Gate has no dentist, Mo’at pulled the rest of the tooth out herself while Norm fretted behind her. Spider bounced back quickly, proudly showing everyone the new space in his mouth. Mo’at keeps the two pieces of Spider’s bottom front tooth and fashions them into earrings that she wears on his birthdays.

Spider gifts Neytiri her tooth, a small lower molar he lost while eating caramel that one of the scientists in Hell’s Gate made. He gives it to her for the human holiday called Mother’s Day but does it at the end of the day, right before Norm comes, to avoid rejection. Once he's older, Spider realizes he never saw the tooth again and figures she either threw it away or gave it to one of the kids to add to their collection. In reality, tucked away in a small box in their family pod, sitting next to the only picture Neytiri has of her sister, the last arrowhead her father ever made, and Jake's old dog tags, lies Spider’s baby molar.

with the official date and trailer of the pjo series comes the knowledge that we’re probably going to get a spike of leah jeffries hate soon. and I’m going to be so real right now- if I see anyone giving that innocent child shit for doing her goddamn job and doing it well, you won’t believe how fast I can hit that block button. that’s not a warning, that’s just a threat.

Nocorro continuation from this post.

Neteyam glances wearily at the clock on the container wall, seeing that another hour has passed. Time is not real inside human pods with their cold interior and filtered air. The darkness of the room makes time feel even more fake, but Spider cannot handle the fluorescent lights anymore - they give him a headache. As does the sun. And any noise above a whisper. And sitting upright for too long or breathing too hard or eating too much.

Being alive makes Spider’s head hurt.

So Neteyam lays down behind him, back to the door, to give Spider comfort. He is protecting him from the outside, where everything makes Spider shake. He shakes from the stares, from trying to walk or talk. Shakes when he tries to eat, and even in his sleep, he shakes.

Norm had told them the shakes and headaches were all side effects of the RDA’s torture. The brain scans he had d done after Spider seized and began bleeding from his nose, ears, and eyes revealed what he called “extensive brain trauma.” Every region of Spider’s brain was inflamed, and some parts, like the section controlling his long-term memory, were damaged - possibly beyond repair.

Neteyam continues to watch the minutes go by, putting faith in the clock even though he couldn’t feel the time change. Nothing has changed in this room for days. Spider lies with his back to the door, shaking and trying his best to stop. His brain aches with memories he cannot convey to them, either too scared or too damaged to find the right words.

In an effort to keep him calm, Norm had suggested sedation, but that had only sent Spider into a tailspin, leading to Norm’s manhood being bruised and his father having a small but deep human bite mark on his foreman. Neteyam had been the one to snap Spider out of his panic and, ever since, had been by his side. Day by day, hour by hour, laying next to the small boy who grows smaller every day.

The darkness helps Spider’s head, but it also helps Neteyam’s fear. He fears many things now - like gunfire and bullets, red hot blood, and voices raised above a whisper. Much to his shame, he fears blue hands with five fingers now; the sight of them makes his stomach turn. He even fears Spider now, despite how much he loves him.

This Spider is different from the one he fell in love with. Not the one he spent days making an armband for as a courting gift or the one he sat behind on rainy days, twisting and retwisting his golden locs for hours. He fears this Spider because his mere presence makes Neteyam doubt that he will ever see his Spider again.

His Spider never grew weary from simply walking across a room. His Spider could leap across rooms and tree roots, run miles, and swing from tree vines. His Spider would never shake from the stares of others or fear voices that are only present in his head. His Spider hated the artificial darkness of the human pods. Yet, this Spider clings to them, clings to the cold interior because he fears the outside. And Neteyam hates that he cannot even blame the boy for it. The darkness helps him forget that his Spider is gone, and left behind is a Spider he does not know. One he cannot help besides lying beside him, day after day, and holding him while he shakes.

Neteyam looks back at the clock, feels the tiny body in his hold shake, and wonders where time goes. Can he ever make it come back? As naive as it sounds, what he would not give to bring back lost time.

Where did his Spider go? Can he ever get him to come back? Or is he lost forever, like passing time?

Silly headcanon: Spider being treated like a stuffed animal by the Sully kids. They can’t sleep without him, he must be there for them to get any semblance of rest.

It starts because Spider used to take naps with them as kids but got sick once and they couldn’t see him for a two weeks. During that time, Kiri and Lo’ak were insufferable. Kiri said the world was too loud and Lo’ak complained that his pillow was too soft. Neteyam also is sleeping less and took to cuddling one of Spider’s loincloths he left behind because it smells like him. Jake and Neytiri were at their wits end when finally Spider showed back up and they find the four of them in a pile, their kids knocked out while Spider seems content being used as a pillow for the next hour.

Tuk is the worst because she’s got attached as a baby. Neytiri broke down once and demanded Norm bring the boy to sleep with them one night when Tuk is sick and won’t stop screaming for him. Every since, he’s been her go to, she will fall asleep on top of him instead of beside him because she’s gonna leech being smaller than him for as long as possible.

Lo’ak goes through a phase where he pretends he doesn’t need Spider to sleep only to toss and turn all night every night and wake up grumpy. It gets to the point where Jake is so fed up that he make Lo’ak sleep at Hell’s Gate since Spider can’t sleep in a mask for long.

Kiri and Neteyam are unashamed in their dependency. They’ll do their night routine and then go find Spider even if he’s not ready to go to sleep. Kiri will normally be fine with staying up until he’s finished whatever he’s doing. Neteyam, on the other hand, will just pick him up and bring him to bed, he’s not sacrificing his beauty sleep for anyone.
