I remembered that TikTok trend where a guy bothers his girlfriend while she's doing her makeup, and I realized — this is 100% the vibe of Quaritch and Varang So here's the backstory of how Quaritch ended up with the Mangkwan war paint, in my opinion😏

Ten minutes later...

This exactly how it would’ve gone down if Neytiri had arrived like three minutes earlier, right?

The Factory Ship is sinking, pulled closer towards the flux devil with every minute. Spider offers himself to Quaritch in exchange for Neytiri and Tuk's freedom, but what if Quaritch knew the offer was just a play for time? In which he takes matters into his own hands and brings Spider back to the Ash camp.

'It’s not a weapon. You… you abused that.”

Spider trailed off. The words had left him, but their absence left an empty feeling inside him. Like he’d been holding onto them so tightly that now his clenched muscles didn’t know what to do with themselves. 

“I know what tsayhelu is, Spider,” Quaritch replied, bringing them back to Na’vi. “I did what I had to to keep you safe."

Imagine some low-ranking Mangkwan who's eager to raise their status and has a kid around Spider's age. I could totally see this parent pushing their kid to be friends with Spider in the hope that it would catch Quaritch's (and by extension, Varang's) attention and give them a chance to get closer to the most powerful people in the clan. Even funnier if its a girl and the crazy parent starts trying to push a romance angle, which neither their child nor Spider is thrilled about. Maybe Spider and the kid would actually end up bonding anyway over complaining about how awful their respective parents are.

Oooo totally love this! A Mangkwan teenager tasked with getting close to Spider (and therefore Varang and Quaritch) to gain influence and status for their parents…

Boy or girl, they’d try hard to fulfil their parents’ wishes. They had to succeed, or face the consequences of the Mangkwan’s brutal discipline.

But after a while it’s clear that Spider is no pushover. He’s kindhearted and selfless, but test him at your own peril. He’ll give as good as he’s got, unafraid to throw the first punch if pushed into something he doesn’t believe in.

The Mangkwan teenager soon realises that this task won’t be as easy as they thought. But they have to keep trying.

When Spider finds out their true motivations, everything clicks into place. Spider could have reacted with violence and anger, but instead he shows compassion.

Over time, they form a close bond. One forged in shared pressure and mutual parental issues. The teenager keeps up the rouse to their parents as best they can, while internally terrified they’ll find out everything so far has been in vain.

In return, Spider occasionally name drops the family to Varang and Quaritch, casually praising them when appropriate and tactical, tossing their name in for small promotions in leadership or resource allocation.

What do you would happen if Quaritch had arrived soon enough to pluck Spider out of the seascape battlefield instead of Tuk? Never taking her or Neytiri hostage and just peacing out since he has what he wanted and, as far as he knows, Toruk Makto has been struck down.

Do you think the Colonel would go back to the RDA and help them rebuild? Or would he go to the Mangkwan where he has more respect as Varang’s arm candy?

Oooo that’s a good one! I think once he had Spider he’d make sure the kid was secure - he’d probably have to dump him back at Bridgehead temporarily, unless he trusted the ash camp enough to babysit him while he searched the battlefield for Jake’s body. He’d definitely want to make sure Jake was dead.

If he was pretty confident that Jake had died (like he saw the arrow protruding from him and assumed there was no way he’d survive the fall from Toruk) then i think he would only fleetingly consider going to be with Varang. Given that Ardmore (almost certainly) is dead, there isn’t anything holding Quaritch back at the RDA. I could see him going back and resuming his senior position, perhaps temporarily taking control of SecOps. He and Selfridge had a tentative alliance going on regarding Spider, and Q could easily use his old manipulation tactics to command Selfridge again if needed. I think he’d go back to Bridgehead and take up the reins in the wake of everything lost in the battle of the cove of the ancestors. There’s no one left who poses a threat to his authority, so why wouldn’t he?

He’d definitely keep spending time with Varang, either at the ash camp or by integrating the Mangkwan warriors more into Bridgehead’s operations. He could see them as a new ‘army’ for the humans since they basically lost all their previous men and we don’t know how much of their operational resources are left after the battle.

look at how cute!! the metkayina children parenting their baby sister pril ♥︎(╥ ᴗ ╥) ♡ ♡

Come home, forest boy

It turns out I forgot to post the avatar art here. Buckle up, there's a lot of it.

I was wondering why the science guy's head was injured, did Spider do that when he was trying to fight them off? lmaooooo
