i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
Option 1: try the DuckDuckGo search engine instead (bonus: dedicated to privacy! doesn't track your data!)
Option 2: go directly to LumenDatabase.org (the website that collects the complaints--and therefore the removed links) and search for the title you want. look for results titled "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" featuring the media you're looking for. Proceed to Step 3 (above).
personally, i'm a huge fan of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH. they keep their links up to date and they also rank them, basically. they also have all kinds of little pages explaining how to safely pirate shit.
Geez, they sure love inflicting pain (to self and others). They connect kurus with their victims so they can not only see them die but also feel it. They don't finish off their prey but rather let it suffer and drag it back to their village so the meat is still fresh. They cut down trees to build their yurts and make their bows and happily set themselves on fire during raids.
When they allied with Quaritch they very quickly adapted to guns and swapped their bone piercings for metal ones. The Bridgehead personnel is advised to keep their distance for them, lest they become part of their rituals or food for their ikran.
PS: The jawbones on Varang's yurt are from a fireback mastodon.
We see some of it in The Way of Water—he shows clear favouritism; demonstrates over and over again that respect and love need to earned, he never shows his son support and he often treats his kids like troops. While yes, he does get called out for some of this, and the family is under a lot of external pressure, it still isn’t good parenting, and that only becomes more obvious in Fire and Ash. (small spoilers below & in tags)
Jake, understandably, does not handle the death of his eldest, ‘perfect’ son well. Unfortunately, the person who suffers the most from this is Lo’ak. Instead of being there to support his son, who just lost his brother (and in a particularly traumatic way), Jake blames him for it. And look, having those feelings in itself does not automatically make him a bad father (grief is weird and difficult), but admitting that to your guilt-ridden, grieving, already upset and vulnerable child? Yeah, that's a deeply damaging thing to do.
And it’s not even like it was a sudden outburst that he instantly regretted—he implies that Lo'ak is to blame multiple times, and tells him explicitly too. Then, afterwards, when Neytiri urges him to talk to his son, Jake just pouts that he has 'nothing to say to him'. Like Lo’ak has just done something naughty to disappoint his dad, not like he’s grieving Neteyam too, feeling even more hopelessly lonely after his other brother, Payakan, is taken from him as well, as if he’s not just desperate for the support and love that his father never gave him without ‘proving himself’.
It may come from a place of hurt, loss and deflection rather than malice, and it may be unintentional, but Jake still makes his son feel as though he will never be good enough, that he is a failure responsible for his family’s suffering. He still makes Lo’ak feel like he is not worthy of his father's—or anyone’s—love.
To the point that he wants to kill himself.
And even when Jake finally does what Lo’ak has always wanted and tells him that he is proud of him, it is still conditional. Jake quite literally tells Lo’ak that he has proven himself, and [therefore] he is proud. Because pride and love are things that need to be earned.
I just find it interesting to think about how for all Jake talks about wanting to protect his family, how important they are to him, and the lengths he will go to keep them safe, he is ultimately one of the biggest dangers to his son.
Устав быть изгоем в клане и в собственной семье, Ло’ак сбегает из дома, взяв с собой только несколько вещей и своего икрана. Салли обеспокоены, но Джейк говорит, что это просто подростковый бунт и что через некоторое время Ло’ак сам вернётся. Несмотря на это его все ищут, Нетейам каждый день летает всё дальше в надежде заметить икрана Ло’ака. Через две недели происходит столкновение Салли с рекомами и похищение Паука, после чего Салли покидают Оматикайа, попросив Макса и Норма продолжать поиски Ло’ака и сообщить им, как только он найдётся.
Проходит ещё две недели, и Ло’ак натыкается на следы ботинок размером с на’ви (сцена как в фильме). Он идёт по следу, не замечая, что заходит на территорию танатора
Не буду дальше вдаваться в подробности) но в общем происходит стычка с танатором, которая заканчивается тем, что танатор ранит Ло’ака (несильно), а самого танатора убивает Куоритч
Ло’ака перевязывают, и хотя поначалу Куоритч хочет взять его в заложники, в конце получается что Ло’ак идёт с ним добровольно (после того как оба понимают что Салли оставили Ло’ака и ушли без него)
Вот как-то так
Среди рекомов Ло’ак не чувствует себя изгоем. Лео и Кай становятся его друзьями (и может быть в Лео он видит более понимающего старшего брата). С реком Джейком после первоначальной неловкости тоже находит общий язык и общую неприязнь к другому Джейку. Свою потребность в одобрении же он переключает на Куоритча (и о чудо он его получает). С Пауком появляются некоторые недопонимания, но они всё ещё бро
А ещё Ло’аку очень нравятся всякие человеческие штучки. От фильмов и видеоигр до еды и одежды - ему всё это интересно (в отличие от Паука)
«-Хей! Хорошо выглядишь! Тебя девчонки одели?
-Ага
-И Паук! Ты выглядишь…»
«-Голым. Ну, по крайней мере тебя вымыли. А то ты уже начинал вонять»
This au is so interesting! For anyone too lazy to use a translator, basically lo'ak runs away from home bc of family issues before the events of Avatar 2. Spider is kidnapped by the recoms like in canon, and Lo'ak is later found by the recoms after getting injured by a thanator and goes with them willingly bc he feels abandoned by his family. (idk if they're still hunting Jake in this au cause i have a hard time picturing loak joining up with people trying to kill his dad no matter how bad his daddy issues got)
I love the detail how Lo'ak, the na'vi, is more interested in human culture while Spider, the actual human, clings to the na'vi way and wants nothing to do with the human stuff! I think it's a really interesting interpretation of their characters. They both feel extremely out of place, like they're torn between two worlds and they cope differently. Spider's spent his whole life being told humans are evil, especially his father, so he tries to reject anything human in an attempt to distance himself from his heritage. Lo'ak's spent his whole life feeling outcast, even within his own family, so when he gets the opportunity to explore a new identity he embraces it even though it goes against everything he's been taught.
Unfortunately I’m not a writer, so there’s no fic🥲 but sometimes I draw mini comics of my AU (I’ve made 3 so far, will post them eventually)
Quoritch's main goal is still to capture Sully (capture, not kill - because of Lo’ak), but his priorities are a little different now. It helps that this time he has kids who don't hate or actively despise him and who he can openly care about. Also this Quaritch has stronger fatherly vibes because he's already been a father for 10 years, and a good one at that
Btw the main change in this AU is that when Kiri has a seizure Norm and Max don't fly to Metkayina because Ronal handles it herself (it was really dumb in the movie- she didn't do anything the whole time they were flying??) so RDA doesn't know that Jake is hiding among the reef na'vi
After some time Ardmore gives Deja Blu a new mission (I'm not sure what it is yet, but something to do with the reef clans, maybe something diplomatic idk). So they’re just doing the mission, relaxing, swimming and playing hide and seek on ikrans living their best lives - that’s when events of mini comic I’m going to post soon take place
Lo’ak just hopes Sullys are somewhere far away so he doesn't have to make any hard decisions. And of course he's trying to convince himself that he doesn't care anymore (yeah sure)
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 🤸
I find it interesting that when Neytiri holds a knife to Spider's throat, it's touching the skin. Meanwhile, with Varang, there's some decent space between his neck and her blade.
It's probably nothing, but I find it just mildly intriguing.
