anti-shifters have one thing right with one statement. "shifting isn't real". why do i say that? because they decided in their own reality that shifting isn't real, so it isn't.

the day you found out about shifting, it began to exist in your reality. shifting didn't exist until the day, the hour, the second you saw your first shifting related thing and materialized it into your 3D.

when you say "i don't know if shifting is actually real or not", you fade the concept of it in and out, like a buffering screen. that makes it harder for you to actually shift because the 3D is jumping between real and fake.

when you say "I can't shift", you allow more shifting related things to follow you online and in forums because you believe that YOU can't, and anyone else can. now you're demotivated because everyone you know is shifting, but you're still here.

when you say "shifting is real, and i know it because i've shifted" you allow yourself to BE the master shifter. you allow yourself to become what you're looking for. the 3D doesn't question that.

so essentially, shifting isn't real, if you think it isn't. you can't shift, if you think you can't, and you are stuck in your journey if you believe that's true.

Reading the AFAA art book makes my jaw drop because wdym Eywa, as she evolved in intelligence, projected that one day inventions out of metal and electronics will exist. Wdym she PURPOSELY created her sacred sites (trees of souls/voices) around naturally occurring flux sites like the Hallelujah mountains and the flux the cove of ancestors (where the flux vortex occurs) just in case that that technology becomes a problem in the distant future. WDYM???

There's a point in the game where the animals kinds of accept/ignore Tamtey, now it could be because of the skill that allows you to walk alongside the animals without them reacting but I had assumed it would have just been the prey animals it affected so it was a pleasant surprise not getting attacked the first time. Which lead me to this.

Imagine Tamtey unintentionally getting "adopted" by a pride of Echo Stalkers or other predators. Both parties "bumping" into each other on more than one occasion until Tamtey realizes that the pride is actively looking for them.

Maybe its a group that they've saved from poachers or one they've unintentionally been feeding by leaving their kills when they show up, the risk of fighting them is greater than the value of the kills. Because of that the pride has begun to associate them with food and safety which has grown to them beginning to associate them as one their members.

So imagine after sometime the pride starts to wait outside of camps for them, or attacking RDA and another predators if they see/sense her fighting them. Soon it's a common sight to see Tamtey being trailed by a pride of Echo Stalkers, or Scarab Crawlers.

Better, imagine them chasing off other na'vi that get close to Tamtey, mostly if it's some with romantic interests. While some chase the suitors away the other nudge and lead Tamtey to "safety".

Or sometimes they'll find Tamtey when their asleep or resting and stand watch over them or rest beside them, sometimes they'll even bring them food or lead them to safer hidden places to rest.

When I read avatar x reader fanfics on here and there's either smut or the chars getting into a relationship it irks me so bad when its based on human relationship and not the navi customs.

Because for the navi I would think that sex and intercourse would mainly be used for reproduction and connection since family and each other is an important concept. Yes sex can be for pleasure but mainly i think it would be special and a representation of their connection.

And that since they mate with one another by tsaheylu i think that sex would especially be special and to continue the cycle of energy. Through children or not.

And I have a reblog of another post from someone talking about how navi dont kiss and it's a human thing, i especially agree with that. It irks me to read navi just smashing lips when being together with another person is very special – I would even say that navi dont get romantic with one another if its not before eywa with the plan to be together.

Ik that navi can have sex without having children/choose not to have them, and that they can be in a poly thing with others. My opinion is just that I think bonded relationships are special and that they would do it correctly.

Especially since some of the x reader relationships are portrayed to be that they are bonded.

I dont think they would go around being sneaky or doing human things like that where they kiss and do things in secret. They arent humans.

•GirlDad!So’lek who thinks he’s completely ready for her arrival but when Täyo’s actually in his arms? he doesn't think he can ever put her down again. She looks exactly like him. Like it's almost uncanny just how much she resembles him you half question if they pulled the right baby out of you ❀

•GirlDad!So’lek who takes Täyo everywhere with him in her prrsmung. She's completely content and happy held against her sem’pu as he goes about his day,talking to her under his breath and kissing her head routinely just because he can ❀

•GirlDad!So’lek knows just how exhausted you are. You not only grew her but birthed her. your not just physically worn but your mind and body need to heal-as much as you love holding her and carrying her yourself you just want to sleep until your bones don't feel like stones in a river ❀

•GirlDad!So’lek who hovers like a hornet when you allow anyone to hold her (he’s firm on no human holding her but you talk him round on Jin and Priya) like they'll drop her at any moment. Teylan is the most anxious while Ri’nela is the calmest and Nor is very quiet but equally gentle ❀

•GirlDad!So’lek who becomes unexplainably soft with his prrnen. she is his atan and you his vitra. he's a dad, truly he never ever thought he'd have this joy-not after his clan’s demise-but he cannot give enough thanks to you and Eywa for this ❀

Pairing/content: romantic So’lek x reader, platonic So’lek x child. So’lek as a father and realising he has more to live for than just vengeance and anger. His mate and his child

•So’lek hasn't thought of himself as a soft man in many years or even a fearful man-but watching his ite come into the world? with both Aranahe and Sarentu Tsahìk working to help you through this battle. he felt truly powerless 𝝑𝝔

•It was a fight he had no sway in. He couldn’t wield a gun or bow to take this pain rather all he could do was stay seated behind you with your back to his chest and loose circulation in his hands from the grip you had 𝝑𝝔

•Now it was peaceful. You lay asleep with a hand limply resting on his thigh as he sat next to you holding the little bundle in his arms 𝝑𝝔

•He never thought himself soft. never thought he’d see a day where rage and vengeance didn't drive him but now…his tahnìtsyìp swaddled in his arms looking so tiny against him 𝝑𝝔

•her hand that encircled his singular finger couldn't even meet. Her skin so soft and unburdened by callouses,untainted by the spill of blood, gripped him like he was someone worthy of this blind trust and love. not the dog tag warrior who struck soldiers dead before they even knew death was behind them- but a father 𝝑𝝔

•she smelled so fresh. milky and sweet like rising bread-it itched at some instinct deep in him. one that screamed at him to protect this beautiful defenceless creature 𝝑𝝔

•you both had already made tsaheylu with her. her mind so clear yet fuzzy-the love she held for you both from her very first breath was overwhelming and could've knocked him off his feet if he hadn't been sitting down 𝝑𝝔

•she looked just like him, he noticed. from her eyes to her stripes and even the pout of her lips. She had your tahnì though. each and every utterly perfect fleck of light mirrored you exactly. all those months she was tucked away safe and growing by you only for her to come out as his mini me 𝝑𝝔

•he never thought he could see himself as delicate yet looking at her…those vivid golden eyes fluttered at him so softly he could believe when you'd said he had a gentle face 𝝑𝝔

•he hadn't even allowed anyone near you, baring his fangs and hissing when Priya had come bounding over-your hand lightly squeezing his bicep lessened his ire but only a pinch. allowed to look but not touch, he looked like a grumpy cat with how his tail flicked in jerky swishes 𝝑𝝔

•even now his ears were subconsciously twitching for any threatening sounds. more so they were focused on the little giggles his ite let out as she tried to gum at his fingers 𝝑𝝔

•his gaze flicked over to you who still sleeps soundly beside him. blankets resting just below your stomach etched with stretch marks and your chest puffing in short breaths-skin still damp with sweat and hair littered with flyaways and frizz and by Eywa you were glowing. He thought you had never looked so stunning, he felt like when you two had first mated. tongue tied and in a smitten daze like he were a young warrior again 𝝑𝝔

•as he stared at you and then his tahnitsyip still nibbling his hand he knew he'd have to wait until he could give you another though 𝝑𝝔
