things I can't with avatar fandom
basically? this is a non revised post about things I can't take anymore about the avatar fandom!
english is my second language and I did not bother to correct any of my mistakes
if I offend you, honestly, I don't care ! this is most about tumblr, wattpad and tiktkok fandom
the absurd quantity of fanfics written about the minor characters, when I know most of us are adults
ok, so, I know EVERYONE loves Neteyam, and I understand that, he's the sweetest, I came out of the movie theater in love with him, BUT, most of you people are trespassing the line when all you can write about him are smut fanfics
do you guys honestly think that putting "aged up" works? people, this kid died at SIXTEEN YEARS OLD!
WE ARE NEVER SEEING AN OLDER VERSION OF HIM BECAUSE HE IS DEAD!!!!!!
I find absolutely DISGUSTING that +18 people feel comfortable enough to write about sex with an underage character, if it was a man writing about a 16 year old, most of you would be disgusted by this, and I'm making this point because most of us writers and readers are female gender centered (idek if this is a word and I actually don't care), so most of us KNOWS the feeling of being sexualized since being young and still write sex about a minor character
to be honest, to ME, this is the biggest thing I have about the fandom, I have all neteyams tags blocked bc I can't do this anymore, and let me tell you, most of the avatar fanfics written on this site are about him.
are most of you fucking SERIOUS that you did not see it coming:
"spider was raised by them"
Jake: [referring to Spider] "He wasn't part of our family. He was like a stray cat. Just always around. Inseparable from our kids. To Neytiri, he would always be alien. One of them."
the kid wasn't considered family by Jake much less by Neytiri, Lo'ak and Neteyam did consider him as a brother, Tuk maybe saw him as a close friend, and Kiri and Spider are childhood sweethearts, I honestly don't know HOW you guys see that.
Jake: [referring to Spider] "And then there was Spider. He was just stuck here. Too young for a cryocapsule. Orphaned by the war, he was raised by the lab guys."."
WE LITERALLY HAVE JAKE SAYING THAT SPIDER WAS RAISED BY THE LAB PEOPLE.
Kiri and Spider have a LOT of intimate moments, Kiri even calls Spider 'Monkey Boy' hinting her endearment for him AND PEOPLE STILL SAY THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY???? DID YOU GUYS WATCH IT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED??????
I really thought everybody knew they were going to be a couple
"OH, but Sigourney and Jack have a hugh age gap"
and do you know what else they have?
an acting paid job. they are fucking acting, they BOTH know this and they have not kissed each other, they used kiri's stunt for this.
3. Spider (again) "OH, THE NA'VI WOULD NEVER ACCEPT HIM!"
You're wrong, actually!!! They would, you know why? Because for them, it's the will of Eywa.
If their Goddess allowed a human to become part na'vi (kind of), they would obviously question it, but they would accept it, because they trust their goddess, the dead na'vis have a better way to accept it, because they are dead, so they understand eywa's will better, they live with the Great Mother now.
4. Spider hate about saving Quaritch
gonna be real honest with all of you right now, by the end of atwow I hated Spider with a passion, I wanted him dead and I wanted him gone, I HATED the fact that the saved Quaritch, BUT
some time ago I read something on TikTok that opened up my eyes about this: Spider is more Na'vi than human, so he did, at that moment, what a Na'vi would do.
to understand my point you need to think about the na'vi philosophy that all energy is borrowed:
"All energy is only borrowed, and one day you have to give it back."
and the thing is, the Na'vi don't believe in unnecessary death, they don't believe they have the right to just kill something or someone, we can see that when they kill animals and then say a prayer thanking; "I See you, brother, and I thank you. Your spirit goes with Eywa, your body stays behind to become part of the People." what I mean is my exact point: they don't believe in unnecessary death, and the prayer is both an apology and a thank you.
so following this philosophy: why would spider kill quaritch
"Oh, but Neteyam was killed"
yes. after Spider saved Quartich, shot by Lyle.
and I really hope you guys are mad at Jake too after saving Quaritch, too many times, in afaa
to be honest with you guys, I think I said everything I wanted, this is just a rent of things I can't take anymore
the ones I'm the most mad about are 1 and 2 WAIT A MINUTE I REMEMBERED SOMETHING ELSE.
THE USE OF IA TO MAKE YOUR OC'S
all, and every single one of you, and terrible people using this kind of shit to make a job that
rob another artists paints
most of them are sephora na'vis or avatars
most of them are using an image of neytiri
this last complaint is more towards the wattpad fandom, most of you are terrible to creat art covers, ffs, try to study how to make one decent book cover or try to find someone who would do it for free for you.
I didn't even point out the water problem that the ia have bc I think most of you know about it
btw I actually have a problem of everyone who writes sex fan fiction about the children (ao'nung, sireya, lo'ak, neteyam, spider and kiri)
