Okay
no way i just saw someone on tiktok (obviously) get mad at spider for not wearing the funeral stripes like the rest of the family. the takes they reach for simply because they don’t like the character is actually crazy like you know damn well he was not accepted into the family at that time, so why would he wear those stripes?
at that time, he was simply a childhood friend. did tsireya wear stripes? did aonung? did rotxo?
like this boy cannot exist at all without getting dog piled on 😭
thinking about writing a fic where spider grew up on earth and joined the rda because i’ve only seen one fic that’s explored this concept and we need more.
‘you should’ve known better’
Chapter 5 of my Spider-centric fic is out now! Please let me know your thoughts :)

Do you have maybe any hc about characters sexualities but like, in modern au?

I think Spider would consider himself unlabeled, but he'd fall under the pan umbrella
currently trying to finish the fifth chapter of my spider-centric fic but one specific scene got me stuck in a writer’s block. bear with me.
there is an insane lack of spider and lo’ak fics and that should be a crime.

“you should’ve known better”

Imagine Jake is looking at him with shame on the last one
You Should’ve Known Better
Chapter 4 of my Spider-centric fic has been added after a long hiatus. Enjoy :)

The lack of Modern Au Spider Socorro-centric fics is getting real I fear. I feel like there used to be so many of them back in 2023-24 and then they got more and more rare to the point that I think I've not seen a new Spider-centric modern au fic in about more than a full year. I know it's not a character everybody likes and definitely not a style that everybody enjoys either, but for those that do enjoy it, we should try to start writing those again. I hope to post this as a kind of call to all those who enjoy this genre. And if you're not a writer, even just commenting on this post some Spider-centric fics ideas would be good.
Here's a list of Spider Socorro-centric modern au fics that I consider the pioneers of this genre:
-Custody by GobiBSide (https://archiveofourown.org/works/47147500/chapters/118789486)
-Radiator by Quickbow (https://archiveofourown.org/works/47606986/chapters/119988247)
-The Cat's in the Cradle by Naavispider (https://archiveofourown.org/works/46511278/chapters/117116515)
-Nature or Nurture by ENC95 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/45549718/chapters/114614719)
-Oh No by Naavispider (https://archiveofourown.org/works/47609560/chapters/119994721)
And here are some creators or writers that I consider probably the best ever if you like Spider Socorro content —> @jeanniebug623 @naavispider @porpunta @cyren-myadd @dumbass-tumbler-cryptid @spider-defence-squad @dirtytransmasc @statictags @this-world-of-beautiful-monsters @hi-you-2
things I noticed this scene (the blessing) that I love so much
- everyone talks about Kiri and her worry, and that's such a big part. but also Lo'ak and Tuk! they were so worried
- Lo'ak calling for him after he fell, as he runs to him. followed by Tuk's worried face asking what they can do.
- piggy back rides! (or whatever Lo'ak calls it sounds like maybe a play on the word "tapirus", which is kinda like a Pandoran pig. so that makes it the Na'vi phrase for "piggy ride". idk though. just my best guess. if someone with captions knows, please spill 🙏🙏🙏). there is 0 hesitation from Lo'ak. of course he'll carry his brother. it's a no brain.
- Spider looks, in a very sad way, so tiny on Lo'ak's back. and for Lo'ak... this is the second time he's felt his brother dying against his back. holding him up as his body literally fails. what's it like to hear your brother's rasping, dying breaths in your ear a second time? and he doesn't even have a free arm to hold onto his hand either.
- both Kiri and Lo'ak trying to catch Spider 😔
- the three of them gathering around him. Kiri holding him, Tuk holding his head. Lo'ak just having to watch. they're babies! 15, 14, and 8. watching their brother essentially die as they're already on the run, all alone.
- Kiri praying despite feeling that disconnect between her and Eywa. not that she ever questioned her faith, but still. my baby girl 😔
- Tuk clearly being so scared, she was breathing so fast the entire scene.
- Lo'ak, lovingly, not having any of it. the way he just scoops Spider up and starts moving. he's so gentle. he couldn't lose another brother. he was scared and even a bit angry.
- the Jake and Grace/Lo'ak and Spider parallel. Jake you are the father.
- "it's gonna be ok buddy, just breathe" shoot me actually. I wanted to be sick hearing that in the theater.
- cut to Lo'ak using Spider as a pointer while telling Kiri to get up 😭🤚 stop jerking him around like a ragdoll, Lo'ak, he's already dying
- "Tuk go get her"
- Eywa popping some Atokirina in there like "hear baby girl use these". gotta love. mama is being supportive.
- Lo'ak growling at Kiri in frustration and really resisting 'wasting' anymore time as he holds Spider in his arms (still can't get over his stressful that has to be for him specifically). and how Tuk seems to sorts be siding with him. she wants to keep going too.
- Kiri frantically clearing off the forest floor and Tuk sitting next to her while Lo'ak is holding their dying brother going "stop🧍 Stop 🧍"
- and then it was Kiri's turn to not fuck around, not even a little bit. like. God level not fucking around.
- Lo'ak's face after Kiri yelled at him 😭 he remembers she's the eldest of the Sully's in that moment.
- he puts Spider down so gently 😔 and he's so worried while Kiri is doing her Tsahik type shit
"Kiri stop! What are you doing?"
as Kiri is literally forcing a seed of Eywa into his lungs. which. was badass as shit.
- Lo'ak walking away... he can't watch Spider die knowing he just put him down and stopped bringing towards what he knew would save him. if Spider dies, it'll be "his fault" again. and he can't do it again.
- poor Tuk just watching with the saddest little face
- when she calls Lo'ak back over, you could see he was clearly crying. but he seems hopeful. only to plant himself right down at his side. holding him gently. realizing he might not be losing a brother.
- Kiri reminds me so much of Mo'at in this scene. I know she's going Shaman things. so that's the parallel. but oh, oh Kiri, you are your grandmother's granddaughter.
- Lo'ak looking so scared before taking his mask off. almost throwing it off, like it's burning him to do so.
- both Lo'ak and Tuk holding Spider's back/arm 😔😭
- I think seeing how the time passes and Lo'ak hunched over and holding Tuk... I think he already grieved that initial grief of this potentially not working. but it certainly hit him. his heart was ready as it could ever be. and poor Tuk was so tired.
- Lo'ak couldn't lose Kiri too. I can't imagine having to be the one having to pull that plug, no pun intended. like. literally, having to choose between continuing the blessing and saving his brother and stopping his sister from having a seizure
- "Lo'ak! stop!" oh Tuk 😭
- the girls crying over Spider's body while Lo'ak just stares. Jake... you are the father.
- Neteyam parallel
- not them not helping him up at all 😭🤚 they're making sure he's really back
- "Spider!" oh that's his little baby sis (Tuk)
- seeing them happy for 30 seconds brought be so much joy
Love how the script confirmed that Quaritch, after Neteyam’s death scene, when he saw Jake in the scope of his gun on that rock, would have lit up everyone there with gunfire if it wasn’t for Spider possibly getting hurt in the process. He couldn’t risk him. He knowingly sabotaged his mission because he couldn’t have Spider get hit.
Redraw of a panel from the High Ground comics in my style! This is the scene where Lo’ak tries to tame his own ikran.

MY THEORY WAS RIGHT YALL!!!
I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED EXACTLY HOW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN OH MY GODDDDDDD IM SO EXCITED! MYCELIUM SYMBIOTE HOST SPIDER HERE WE COME!!! OUR BOY'S DREAM IS COMING TRUE AND HES GETTING TO MAKE TSAHEYLU FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE LOOK KIRI FOUND HIM AN ILU PONY WHO'S THE RIGHT SIZE THATS SO ADORABLE!! I WANT HIM TO RIDE A DIREHORSE AND AN IKRAN TOO!!
If they don't show how Spider was affected by being tortured by the RDA and let's see that he spent 6 months with them, I'll kill myself. So you're telling me he didn't have even the slightest change? Fear? Trauma? I'm afraid they'll leave that topic aside. It would be cool to see how Spider gets tense if someone's behind him,Or if someone touches it without warning, it gets tense.
I just hope they don't leave it aside,Why didn't I stay up until 5am reading fan fiction about how Spider ended up after the RDA for nothing 😡
