Not really a request but I have a random au to share where loak is like kiri where eywa gave her a gift, but in a different in a way.
Basically an au where loak is able to communicate with animals, like talk to them really 💀 whereas kiri-well she a nature girlie thru and thru. That doesn't mean that loak is good with animals tho-- tbh animals like kiri better because of her prescence.
Loak just ends up quarreling with the fellow creatures in the forest 😭.
*Random scene in their childhood where loak keeps telling his family he can hear creatures speak but no one believes him other than kiri*
Baby Neteyam: why are you crying?
Baby Loak: the syaksuk keep bullying me and calling me names 🥺
Atwow version (just pretend payakan happened later)
Aonung: how did you know the way home when we left you by the reef?
Loak: (casually) hm? Oh, the fishes told me the way where to go.
(Imagine loak wrestling with random animals or having stupid arguments with them while kiri is just. Peacefully bonding with every creature there is. 🧘♀️)
- cue metkayinas wondering why the sullys have a daughter who basically has the power of eywa herself and a son who speaks to fish from time to time 😭.
Anyways this is such a random au 🤧
he's actually a Disney Princess in this AU LMFAO. And nooo!! I 100% believe Tuk would believe him too, and Spider probably would be a little skeptical but once Kiri fully believes him, he would follow too. Neteyam is usually busy away and training but then when they get older he starts going out with them more often and realizing either Lo'ak is mentally ill (which he doesn't necessarily fully believe) or he has to be telling the truth. it's the truth but it's so fantasy like that he actually has to take a moment every-time he sees Lo'ak talking to an animal because there is still no way he can fully believe it (he thinks himself a well adjusted man)
Neytiri would probably be like oh yeahhh i heard about this when eywa blesses specific individuals!!! my son is blessed by eywa <3<3 and then jake would be like What the Hell . I've lived here already for 15 years wdym you can talk to Animals why cant anyone else do this ???? wtf mo'at whats wrong with him
Kiri bonding with the animals and Lo'ak wanting to hang out with her but she's surrounded by wildlife. And then when they see him they tell him to go away and he ends up bickering with them while she gets all growly and annoyed by him ruining her peace, but at the same time she's way too interested in the drama (like a telenovella) so she forces him to translate all the drama for her HAHA. in her lap is a prolumeris growling at Lo'ak that she's petting trying to calm down while her baby brother hisses at it. like boy calm down ur pissing my pet off!!!! but also keep talkin whats he saying
Ao'nung and co would so make fun of him for it until Tsireya and him bond, and she believes him whole heartedly. Perhaps the tulkun can communicate with the ilu, so Lo'ak befriends a specific ilu who then talks to the tulkuns, or specifically Tsireya's ilu, which confirms it for her. Grudgingly Ao'nung is forced to believe too lol. they bond because ao'nung, similarily to neteyam and jake is slightly in disbelief so he keeps dragging Lo'ak out to different animals to test him and ask him what they're saying, but coincidentally the animals dislike Ao'nung as much as they dislike Lo'ak AJSFKLJFKALJF it's just the two of them hanging out and chasing after wildlife who try to run from the two. they waste hours of free time running after or swimming after fish/monkeys and usually end up panting laying on the beach side by side under the moonlight, frustrated at each other and the animals and their own stamina until it becomes so comical they start laughing at their own selves, talking and bonding about teasing each other and their own stupidity
