Neteyam and the Sokka effect

Sokka is the big brother, he is responsible, intelligent and protective. And they do use him as a comedic relief for the most part, but no one can deny his other qualities. He is, the tallest and "biggest" of the others (until Zuko came) and you get used to that. You know who Sokka is.

Then you see him standing beside real adults, those that are truly responsible and in charge and you see how small he looks compared to them and you remember.

Same thing is happening with Neteyam.The big brother, the mighty warrior, the one who was supposed to lead after his father. The tallest of the other kids, the most responsible and most protective. You get used to it.

Then you see him next to his parents and you remember that he is just a kid. A fifteen year old that just wants to make his parents proud and be good. He wants to keep his family safe no matter what, so he follows the rules, do anything that is asked of him and more. But when you really look at him you remember that he is not yet a mighty warrior but a child trying to be good.

I wanna add Aonung to this.

When he is with the other kids in the group he looks so tall and huge!

But compared to his father and the other Metkayina (you can see it in his first scene in the movie) he looks tiny.

(I can't find any good GIFs for him unfortunately so feel free to add any!)

Theory Time

Neteyam is supposed to be in Avatar 3,4&5 and I hope and believe that he will come back to life I don't think they'll do it right away.

I imagine Avatar 3 we'll see memories of him through different characters. His parents, siblings, Ao'nung and Tsireya. Help us build an even bigger bond, show us the bond he shared with everyone else and let us get to know his character more. This movie did not do any justice.

And they will either keep it going that way for the other movies..OR

They'll start that way, we'll see the memories etc and at the very end the big reveal, Neteyam's alive, maybe a shot of his eyes opening, like Jake, or we see him swimming up from the Spirit Tree and breaking the surface and that's the end of the movie.

I don't know I'm hopeful and so sad 😭

***AVATAR: The Way of Water Spoilers***

I noticed that we never see Neteyam hiss (Kiri too if I'm not mistaken but I wanna focus on Neteyam) Hissing is an expression of anger and we always see Neteyam holding back. He has to be calm, collected and a good son/big brother.

But do you know what I want? When he comes back (don't fight me on this - he has to) I want him to go feral because I know he has his mother's rage. And I want him to kill Quaritch just like his mother did before him. I just need him to blow up. It will be spectacular.

So will Lo'ak's blow up when he finds out Spider saved Quaritch.

Get the flowers.

I watched a video of tattoo artists being asked what is a tattoo that they are sick of doing (something along those lines) and the answers were some common designs that people get.

In the comments people were saying that that is the reason they don't get a tattoo or are unsure about it.

One of the most popular answers were flowers. A very popular design and it surprised me. Flowers are considered basic now, overdone by most.

Now, I already have a tattoo, a branch with some flowers, and I want to cover it up. Not because I don't like the design, the artist did a horrible job and it faded.

And people suggest flower again, and my initial thought was: 'No, too basic. If someone sees it they'll think I'm basic.'

And that's a horrible way to think.

Who cares?

If people don't like it, screw them. It's on your body.

If the tattoo artist is tired of doing flowers, screw them. It's on your body.

The point of this rant is, we should do whatever makes us happy.

Doesn't matter what people think.

What if something is basic, over done, usual or simple.

I like wild flowers and you bet your butt I'll fill my whole body with them.

As long as I look at them and smile and feel a little bit better I'm good with that.

So go.

Get the flowers and do whatever else you want.

No matter how mundane and cliche it is.

I just want both🥺

We all know this scene in the NWH trailer,

Bet, Tom's Peter doesn't catch MJ and we think this is it but then, !swing!

Another Spiderman appears and saves her.

That'll be the first appearance.

So, girls just tell guys that we lay in bed in lace underwear and booty shorts and thinking of them when they ask us in the middle of the night...and they believe it? Like, honey I'm sorry, but I'm full on trash panda mode, watching crappy shows and eating food. Relax.

Whenever I'm sad I like to think of Peter Parker (Tom's version) interacting with Logan aka the Wolverine and I just get so happy...

"Mr Wolverine-Logan, sir, can I see your claws again? My best friend Ned- he is a huge fan and I-would it be cool if I get a picture?"

And Logan would just be so tired but secretly happy cause he is a sweetheart

I accidentally clicked on a 10 hour video of Rises the Moon by Liana Flores as I started reading. I've been listening to it for 40 minutes straight and I just now realized it. Wow.

[gloomystorm]

Me: *sees an attractive, broken,selfish,beaten down, villainous, with a sprinkle of madness and a dash of homicidal tendencies person, that could kill me in a second*

Also me: Ah, is this love that I feel? I shall devote all my time thinking and loving this one person.

I'm not much of a runner but if a powerful, hot Grisha looked at me and said "follow", I don't know but I might become an Olympic runner.

Just saying.

I think we don't talk enough about the fact that Sam had an imaginary friend growing up.

Which makes sense, a kid alone needs friends. He only had Dean but what happened if John took Dean out to train?

Sam was left alone, most likely in some crap motel, with a broken TV that had nothing interesting for him to watch. And Sully appeared and he had a friend, someone to talk to.

And of course Dean would know.

Imagine the first few times Sam imagined Sully, he must have been so excited! So he rushes to get Dean and tells him all about his new friend. Dean smiles, even though it hurts him that his little brother is so lonely and he was not enough that he had to make up someone to spend time with. But he understood.

Sam was confused, why didn't Dean see him? And Dean just said that Sam was special, so he had a special friend. He believed him because Dean is older and Dean is always right. So he continued to play with Sully, when Dean was there he'd wave the room hello and goodbye, calling out greetings and farewells to Sully, because Sam smiled so big every time.

I just saw this thing that said Azula is not strong, she couldn't even beat Katara (when they fought at Crossroads of Destiny) but I don't think that is exactly the case.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Katara is not strong she is, but Azula always had that edge. And I think that is because the waterbenders lived and stayed at the poles and the firebenders didn't interact with them for the last couple years. Hama is the only waterbender we see that has left South Pole and she was hiding. And it's not like the fire benders would just travel up to the Poles to fight the waterbenders on their turf- a place filled with snow- and return to teach the younger generations how to defeat a waterbender.

A fight with a waterbender would be rare, and like the firebender guards didn't know how to fight an airbender, Azula couldn't know how to fight a waterbender. I'm just saying.
