I am 32 years of age and too old to get involved in any drama or discourse. Those who bring that to this blog will be immediately blocked.
I go by She/Her pronouns.
This blog is dedicated to my love for Spider Socorro from Avatar.
I do not care for Quaritch. Never have. Never will. He's not my cup of tea, but if you like him, that's great! No judgment here! I just won't be posting anything about him unless it's an analysis of his personality.
My blog consists of little headcanons about Spider or Kiri.
I ship Kiri x Spider, also known as Spiri. If this ship is not your cup of tea, please block me or block the Spiri tag so that you will not see my Spiri content on your dashboard.
I love the flora and fauna of Pandora and will be gushing about them.
I'm just here to have fun and indulge in my current hyperfixation.
There won't be any smutty content.
Hateful asks and comments will be deleted or ignored. Life is too short to focus on the negatives. If you have a problem with me and what I'm posting, then kindly block me or keep scrolling.

Spider knows that Kiri has always hated hunting. She respects the lives she takes and never shirks responsibility when her clan requires it, but there is always a lingering, deep sadness afterward. While others return from a successful hunt proud of their catch, Kiri lingers beside the fallen animal, her fingers resting against its hide in silent gratitude for far longer than anyone else. Spider knows that look. He knows she feels every life on Pandora a little more deeply than most, and although she never complains, he quietly decides that if he can spare her from having to take a life to sustain herself, he will.
Fishing comes easily to him. Years spent swimming with the Metkayina have made him nimble and fast underwater, and he has patience, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. More often than not, he returns carrying enough fish for both of them, dropping them beside Kiri with a crooked grin and an offhanded, "Figured I'd bring in your favorite fish." Kiri knows exactly what he's doing, but she never calls him out on it. Instead, she simply smiles, accepting his help with appreciation and relief.
Hunting on land is another matter entirely. Spider lacks the strength to overpower most of Pandora's wildlife head-on, and he knows better than to try without at least a group. Most of the creatures he pursues outweigh him several times over, making brute force an impossible strategy. So he hunts the only way he can: through careful planning. He studies migration routes, memorizes feeding patterns, pays attention to the direction of the wind, and spends hours constructing simple traps that use the terrain to his advantage rather than relying on his own strength. Every hunt becomes a calculated exercise in patience, observation, and precision. He refuses to waste an animal's life, ensuring that when he finally takes the shot, it is swift and clean.
Kiri will often find Spider crouched, sketching trails in the dirt with an arrowhead, muttering to himself about winds, broken branches, and fresh footprints as though he were solving an elaborate puzzle. He approaches every hunt with extreme caution, treating his prey as something to be understood. She teases him that he thinks too much, only for him to point out, correctly, that thinking means he doesn't have to wrestle an animal three times his size. "I'd rather not get mowed down and stomped to death."
When he finally returns after disappearing for most of the day, he's usually exhausted. Sweat clings to his brow, his skin is smeared with dirt, leaves are tangled in his hair, and more than once, he's limped back with bruises earned from an animal nearly turning the tables on him. Yet the moment Kiri sees the kill slung across his shoulders or dragged behind him with ropes he crafted himself, her expression softens with equal parts admiration and concern. She fusses over every scrape while he insists they're nothing, and he always laughs when she scolds him for taking on prey so much larger than himself.
"What?" he says with a shrug. "It's not a big deal. It's common for a hunter to get himself banged up."
"You should not risk yourself because of me."
"Keeping you fed is worth every risk." He smiles, teeth glinting in the light of the fire, his small hand enveloping half of her larger one, squeezing gently. "I have no regrets."
Although she still accompanies him whenever she can, Kiri eventually realizes he is not hunting simply to provide food. He is trying, in his own quiet way, to protect the parts of her that hate killing. Spider cannot stop Eywa from demanding difficult things of her, but he can shoulder a few of those burdens himself. If spending an extra day stalking game through the forest means Kiri doesn't have to take another life herself, then to him, every hour of planning, every aching muscle, and every bruise is worth it. And because she knows exactly how much thought and effort each hunt costs him, she never lets his bounties go unacknowledged. Before preparing the meal, she always takes his hand, presses her forehead gently against his, and thanks him, not just for the food, but for loving her and understanding her so well.
Spider gets a family AU BUT instead of Jake or Quatritch. (Ik what terrific options we have) it’s Paz’s Parents. They come to Pandora wondering about their daughter and now they have a grandson.

Quarang Child is adopted by Spider after they die in the future since he absolutely knows people will treat them worse than they treated him and he will never let that happen to another kid while he lives.
Kiri is supportive, but unimpressed bc this is like, the third orphan of war he has adopted.
Okay... This is super dark and made me feel some type of way, so proceed at your own risk.
I think my darkest AU was one where Jake and Neytiri die during the final battle in Avatar 3. They die fighting Quaritch and Varang, ultimately winning the war, but at the cost of their own lives. Their deaths leave the remaining Sully siblings, Lo'ak, Kiri, and Tuk, orphaned.
Spider, still traumatized by the laundry list of horrors he's endured during Fire and Ash, is no longer the same forgiving sweetheart we're all familiar with. This version of Spider is actually affected by everything that's happened to him. Instead of remaining his usual cheerful, endlessly compassionate self, he's become just as unforgiving as Neytiri once was and nowhere near as friendly as he used to be. Sixteen years of neglect, coupled with having a knife held to his throat by the very people he loved more than Eywa herself, have extinguished every ounce of the spark he once had. Jake nearly murdering him was simply the straw that broke the camel's back.
As Spider stares down at their lifeless bodies with an expressionless mask, he doesn't join his friends in mourning. He doesn't feel the urge to cry. He doesn't grieve.
Instead, he feels… a strange, unsettling sense of relief.
Is it fucked up? Absolutely. But can you really blame him?
Whatever love, loyalty, or reverence he once held for Jake and Neytiri died the moment Jake forced him to kneel. In that instant, the rose-tinted glasses he'd worn from the moment he took his first steps were ripped away and ground into the dirt. Forced to kneel, not even afforded the dignity of relieving himself before his own execution, Spider finally realized what had been happening all along. Jake and Neytiri had been planning this. They were never truly going to accept him. To them, he was always a liability, a wild card, a feral beast that would eventually have to be put down, another enemy to be eliminated for the sake of their family.
A small part of Spider knows he's wrong. Somewhere, buried beneath all the hurt, he understands that Jake had his reasons. But Spider is only sixteen years old. He's neglected, traumatized, angry, and exhausted. He's tired of always being expected to be the bigger person. Tired of making himself scarce. Tired of apologizing and atoning for the sins of a father he barely knew. Tired of trying to earn a place in a community that had already decided he didn't belong, a place that already wrote his story the moment he was born.
So yes, he's relieved.
Not because Jake and Neytiri are dead, but because they're gone.
Because he'll never again have to wake up wondering whether today is the day Jake or Neytiri finally decides to slit his throat and bleed him out like a stuck pig. He'll never again have to pretend they hadn't tried to kill him, or live with the constant fear that one day they might decide to gut him like a fish and hide his body in the dark.
This AU was incredibly dark and realistic. The more I wrote it, the sadder I became, until I eventually stopped altogether. I enjoy writing Spider as a teenage boy who is realistically affected by his trauma, but by the time I finished outlining it, I became deeply depressed, and I ended up deleting the draft. Like, can you just imagine the two people you loved and respected for years just up and decide to kill you? That's so fucked up.
I'd even explored the perspectives of the supporting characters back at High Camp and Hell's Gate during and after Jake and Neytiri's funeral. Some noticed that Spider never attended the service. Others noticed how carefully blank his expression was whenever he comforted his grieving friends. They noticed he hadn't shed a single tear.
Some chalked it up to shock.
Others assumed the reality simply hadn't sunk in yet, that Jake and Neytiri had been larger than life to Spider, practically legendary figures, and that grief affected everyone differently.
But a few…
A few noticed that something wasn't quite right. The au was going to be a roller coaster of angst with no satisfying ending because everyone's grieving while Spider is pretending to, but failing because he's still trying to grapple with the fact that Jake tried to kill him.
Spider has always been the type of person who shows his love through actions rather than words, and his favorite love language is washing Kiri's hands after a long day. After a long day spent foraging for herbs, weaving, climbing the tallest tree to watch the sunset, or returning from festivals with juices and bright dye staining her fingers, Spider will quietly fetch a bowl of clean water and sit in front of her with a cloth.
Spider takes her larger hands into his much smaller ones with remarkable gentleness, carefully washing away every trace of dirt, paint, grease, or stain as though each of Kiri's fingers is something precious. His thumbs glide over her palms, working dirt from the creases while he listens to her talk about her day. There is something deeply intimate about the way he does it because caring for her in small ways comes as naturally to him as breathing.
Kiri absolutely adores it. She loves the warmth of Spider's hands on her skin, the gentle, focused expression he wears as though this mundane task deserves his complete attention, and the feeling of being cared for so completely without needing to ask. Sometimes she will deliberately seek him out after returning from a particularly messy task, settling beside him with a knowing smile on her lips and extending her hands toward him before he can even offer. Spider always rolls his eyes, pretending to be annoyed, but he never refuses. To Kiri, those moments feel sacred. The world outside is loud, chaotic, and demanding, but when Spider is patiently cleaning her hands, the rest of Pandora seems to fade away. No grand declarations or dramatic gestures, but steady tenderness, the kind that says I see you, I love you, and I will always take care of you. More often than not, she ends up watching him as he cleans her hands, completely captivated by him.
In the end Jake did not want to murder Spider because he was a 'danger to Pandora' but because of his own inability to protect him. We have seen over and over again how quick he was to abandon the kid, so when that suddenly stopped being an option due to the RDA being able to extract valuable info concerning his breathing ability now Jake decided the easiest solution would be to murder him. Instead of, you know, putting in actual effort into keeping him safe for once.
every other day a new person feels the urge to post "i hate spiri because-" in the character tags and thinks their take is somehow innovative or something we haven't heard before. like fucking clockwork.
we don't care. why are you wasting your energy on something you hate. you're not gonna change people's minds who like the ship. i don't give a shit if spider gets adopted by jake and neytiri, he will never be related to kiri and it will never be the incest you so badly want it to be and even then i wouldn't give a shit lmfao

uhhm.. i feel like some people don't know that just because a character is a protagonist doesn't mean they have to be 100% flawless, good and morally unfallible.
a character can be a protagonist and mess things up or make decisions that have grave consequences. you understand that, right.
Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.
"I hate Spider for learning how to use his kuru and being happy in the water with Kiri while Quaritch is burning down villages to look for him! It's all Spider's fault this is happening! He's so selfish! I hate him!!"
Oh, gee whiz. I don't know what to tell you, but maybe this is Quaritch's fault for immediately betraying his own son's secret to Ardmore instead of keeping his mouth shut to protect his only child. Or maybe it's his fault for not putting Lyle down the second he realized someone else knew Spider could breathe Pandora's air, ensuring that knowledge died with him.
Hell, if we're playing the blame game, maybe we should blame Jake for not becoming Toruk Makto much earlier and permanently dismantling the RDA–Mangkwan alliance before it ever had the chance to flourish.
Or, and stay with me here, maybe this is just one of those situations where multiple people made decisions that spiraled into disaster.
What it sure as shit isn't, though, is Spider's fault for… checks notes… receiving a deity's blessing he didn't ask for and daring to be happy for once in his miserable life after sixteen years of pure, total shit.
Headcanon that Spider is passively suicidal. He won't seek out death activley but he won't exactly fight it either. He accepted Jake killing him far too easy and he keeps putting his life at risk for anything else. It's obvious he holds very little regard for himself at this point and it reflects in his behaviour. Bet part of the reason Spider cares so little for his own survival is because he trusts Eywa to know best when to take him. Or maybe he hopes that dying when fate/circumstance/whatever demands it it could cure his "inpure" blood. Like a debt he had to repay for being allowed to love and partake in Pandora's beauty despite being Quaritch's son. (But the reason doesn't really matter anyway. Not like anyone will ever notice.)

I have two very cute little spiri ideas that I'll be making little headcanons about this week.
-) Spider gently washing Kiri's hands after a long day or warming them up with his own smaller hands whenever it's cold outside.
-) Spider, knowing that Kiri hates hunting, decides to hunt and fish for her. Fishing is easy, but hunting takes a little longer for him because most of the animals are bigger than Spider, which requires him to do much planning and calculating.
