[luv4navi]

kaltxì! this is a pinned post to know a little about me and my blog <3

i am brazilian however you can speak to me in spanish and english. I'm also learning Na'vi, but as the process can be a bit long, I only know basic words. (If you see any wrong or nonsense text in any of these languages, I apologize!)

i'm from the Avatar fandons (james cameron) and some animes like great pretender and jujutsu kaisen! I'm also stan from loona and babymetal <33

My ask box is always open for interactions!

I love reading fanfics, especially if it's from Avatar! feel comfortable tagging me in fanfics ;)

My beautiful Savannah Na’vi inspired by the Himba (OvaHimba) tribe of Northern Namibia. I traded the stripes for a more cheetah like pattern.

Himba people, especially women, are famous for covering themselves with otjize paste, a cosmetic mixture of butterfat and ochre pigment. It helps to cleanse the skin and protect it from the hot and dry climate! The style of hair depicts womanhood. Often times the plaits of braids covering face in a veil like fashion will indicate a pubescent status, whereas women who wear an Erembe style show they’re no longer children

So are we just in the So'lek fan club at this point with the release of the new Avatar game? This game is really just so beautiful and I couldn't resist doing a quick sketch of this guy ✨️May color at some point but was just inspired, never drawn Na'vi anatomy so a study for that to!

[pandoraheadcanons]

Isn't he literally dying here

[katiritu]

absolutely hilarious fucking post, like this is peak new-wave gooning-centric Avatar tumblr fandom. a mid-frame from the scene of a 15-year-old kid bleeding out and dying being used as a thirst post by an adult fic writer without a single drop of irony or self-awareness

[cipher-the-sidhe]

Grinding my fists into my eyes. Something about erasing the message of an indigenous peoples’ struggle/story (even a fictional people) to focus on fetishizing them in every moment, even as they (child in this case!!!) are mutilated and killed, mirroring how natives and native stories are treated irl just… vile. Even the children aren’t allowed to be real characters (except the singular white boy, of course) but instead are just used as more targets to hyper sexualize. You can tell because none of the people doing this actually write these characters IN CHARACTER. They’re all just made into hollow dolls to parrot sexual fantasies.

I am obviously not against sexual things in fandom, or people liking what they like, but ffs the way a lot of the Avatar fandom on here is treating it since tWoW is gross as hell.

atwow characters as humans compiled together!

tried making the human sully kids resemble themselves more + cleaned up my sketches of the metkayina kids

[moon-drunk-monster]

Tsu'teys relationship with Graces was interesting tho wish they'd gone more into it. he clearly sees her more as a mother figure than his own mum

So I had a few people ask for my thoughts on the upcoming “ash people” or fire na’vi so here is a concept of a cute couple and headcannons:

I think they will be a people associated with fire because their clans are located at the base of volcanos, benefitting from the volcanic earth.

bioluminescent dots glow red/orange

Eyes have adapted to extreme light and heat and in situations will turn into small slits.

Called ash people because of volcanic ash being constantly on their feet, they also have adapted to have thicker skin on hands and feet that can handle heat.

Charcoal and ash are commonly used in body paint and decoration.

Weapons and jewelry are made from obsidian like rocks and leather from large Komodo like lizards that dwell near volcanic openings.

OH YES their ikrans are basically large Komodo dragons that can run across volcanic plains. Initiation to becoming a warrior includes venturing into an inactive cave system to trap and tame your mount.

They actually have a very rich diet as volcanic soil is extremely fertile, very diverse and wild plant like grows from large inactive volcanic cracks.

this is all my thoughts based on the idea of “ash people” I have not done any actual research into what my man james in planning.

[silly-jellyghoty]

I love your brain. As for James, so far he kept his mouth shut about any additional details. However, may i offer my own thoughts on the matter:

Known for their pottery they fire in crude kilns nearby thermal vents or in areas of recently spilled lava

Live actually further away from the equator in areas with less tropical clima, with their villages being concentrated near hot springs, profiting from the geothermal heat even when the area is colder and harsher

Have second lids like metkayina that keep their eyes safe from ocassional flare of hot or slightly toxic air

Use masks and face coverings as well as partial or full body cover for when they travel close to active areas to both keep the worst of the heat and falling ash away from their skin

3 laws of Eywa forbid putting ston upon stone, but they don't say anything about mixing ash with water and using this crude cement (it works irl, you can use white ash as the cement hardener) as a building material as well as in their pottery

Along the obsidian, they create intricate jewelry out of clay/volcanic cement as well

They will also be very open to siding with RDA, especially if they also dabble ibto architecture as i said. That would make their mindset towards the next step on the ladder of the civilisation borderline heretic towards Eywa

I can see their philosophy being close to something like "earth is created and all that is on earth will one day be destroyed and returned back to the fiery depth to continue the cycle. For that reason, the future is irrelevant and the presence is to be lived to the best of one's abilities, before it is taken by the inevitable erruption. The ballance does not need a giardian, for the ballance of the world as well as Eywa herself is short lived too and one day everything will be a molten rock once again."

[kajaono]

Especially Neytiri was completely stripped from an own storyline. She was a mother, and an amazing warrior - the end

But when you paied attention you saw that she never trained to become a water species. She was still flying with an Ikran, she didn’t knew how to hold her breath under water. There was so much grief to explore in her character. Leaving behind the place where all her ancestors where buried (which was specifically important towards the end), not being able to fulfill the promise she gave her father. The bow being broken…

I understand they wanted to shift the focus from the parents to the kids but this movie was 3 hours long, no one can tell me there was no time for her character
