look at Neytiri's stupid ass boys. not a single thought behind those eyes. no concept whatsoever of abstract thought or object permanence.

They both like having their kuru held that's so weirdly sweet!

Now I want to know more about how the Na'vi use their kurus to show affection. We know it can be used in an intimate manner like Jake and Neytiri, but Varang and Quaritch seem more flirty, and Kiri and Spider are more innocent and friendly. From the videogame we know the kuru can also be used for practical purposes like sharing information, and from the trailers we know the Mangkwan also use the kuru for intimidation and control. I believe it's also canon that parents bond with their children in infancy to help establish the bond between parent and child. I wonder what else they use them for!

Also, this was the final nail in the coffin for platonic Spider/Kiri, they're definitely romantic. Oh well, they're cute and as long as they're together I'm happy

“B-b-but Spider didn’t even react to Kiri's kiss! He was unsure!”

No. He wasn’t.

Spider was surprised. He didn’t react at first because the one girl in the entire world he believed he never had a chance with kissed him. If someone I’d been crushing on for a long time suddenly kissed me, I’d be stunned too. That initial stillness wasn’t hesitation. It was shock.

He only reacted after Kiri kissed him the first time. Then he stared up at her in open awe, like he was waiting to wake up from a dream. But he didn’t. And when she kissed him a second time, he lifted a hand to the side of her face and reciprocated.

So, no... Spider wasn’t being nonchalant, unsure, or disturbed. He was shaken to his core because his childhood friend, the girl he’d quietly yearned after for years, had just confirmed her feelings for him. For HIM. The small, fragile human in a world so much bigger than he is.

Of course, he was surprised.

My favorite aspect of Kiri and Spider's relationship is how in-tune and aware of each other they are.

Like when Kiri immediately picks up on Spider's feelings about Quaritch in Way of Water and doesn't hesitate to not only confirm, but affirm that he isn't his father and isn't responsible for what his father's done.

Or at the end of Fire and Ash when Kiri starts seizing.

Kiri starts seizing three times between Way of Water and Ash and Fire. The first two times, the reactions of the people around her are to disconnect her from Eywa.

But Spider- who's only had his kuru for like a week- instinctively connects with her.

His first instinct is not to sever her connection, it's to stabilize it. To find a way to ground her, to be present for her. It's something that he doesn't even think about, he just does it. Because he knows that Kiri needs him with her

We always get an I See You moment between the other characters. But for Kiri and Spider, I think they've always naturally Seen each other to the point where it never even has to be said
