Nì'awtu's silly corner

lo'ak avatar is so important we need more representation for horse girls who are boys.

Example: the character's mate is an avatar, meaning the kid is mixed with both na'vi and "demon blood" as they say. However, the kid was born with all the traits of a na'vi so the only way to find out they are mixed is to meet the parents and go "oh, your mom/dad is an avatar, so youre mixed". And just to be sure that the kid is prepared for any discrimination, they had the talk about the Young being mixed, but this dumbass thought it meant "oh, im mixed because my parents are not from the same clan" because in their mind, i dont have avatar traits, so i cant have sky people blood. So everytime its brought up, they keep having to give them the talks and you just see ITS NOT GETTING IN!

I understand if you dont want to make it, its so godamn dumb but there is something so frustrating yet so hilarious in explaining something to someone and them just going "no" like what do you mean no?!?! Its not an opinion, its a fact! You cant argue against facts!

OFC

⚠️ warning!: with most characters I made them as gender neutral as possible but I had to specify the reader as the opposite gender.⚠️

Afop x Avatar!S/O mate with a kid who’s a absolute dumbass

So’lek

• At first he assumes the child simply needs more time.

• Then he explains it again.

• And again.

• And again.

• Eventually he starts staring at them with the thousand-yard stare of a warrior who has survived countless battles.

• The child is nodding along the entire time.

• Which somehow makes it worse.

- Solek: “Do you understand?”

- Child: “Yes.”

• Relief.

• Then:

- Child: “Because Mom and Dad are from different clans.”

• So’lek closes his eyes.

• He is suddenly very tired.

• While you are trying your best not to laugh.

• So’lek begins using increasingly simple explanations.

• Drawings.

• Family trees.

• Pointing directly at the Avatar parent.

• Somehow the child still reaches the wrong conclusion.

• He eventually starts questioning if Eywa is testing him.

Ri’nela

• Ri’nela starts out incredibly patient.

• She genuinely believes communication can solve anything.

• The first ten explanations are calm.

• The next ten explanations are slower.

• The next ten involve visual aids.

• Eventually she starts asking the child questions.

- Rínela: “What species is your father?”

- Child: “Na’vi.”

- Rínela: “No.”

- Child: “Blue.”

- “…”

• Progress?

• Not really.

• The child still somehow misses the point.

• Ri’nela eventually looks at you for help.

• Whole you are too busy laughing too hard to contribute.

• Ri’nela has never been so betrayed.

Teylan

• Teylan absolutely understands the confusion at first.

• He tries relating it to human genetics.

• Then Na’vi genetics.

• Then both.

• The child somehow becomes more confused.

- Child: “So I’m human?”

- Teylan: “No.”

- Child: “Half human?”

- Teylan: “No- wait- yes- wait no-“

- Child: “Quarter human?”

- Teylan: “No!”

• Teylan starts pacing.

• He then brings in books, charts, examples, etc.

• Nothing works.

• Eventually he realizes the kid isn’t refusing to understand.

• They literally just aren’t connecting the dots.

• At that point he mostly gives up and starts answering questions as they come.

• He loves them dearly.

• He just accepts that some conversations will repeat every month.

Nor

• Nor notices before anyone else.

• The child asks a question.

• Nor answers.

• The child asks the exact same question five minutes later.

• Nor slowly realizes.

- Nor: “You did not understand.”

- Child: “I did.”

• They did not.

• Unlike the others, Nor gets blunt.

• Very blunt.

- Nor: “Your mother is an Avatar.”

- Child: “Yes.”

- Nor: “That means you are mixed.”

- Child: “Because she’s from the Avatar clan?”

• Long silence.

• Nor stares at the sky.

• The sky offers no guidance.

• Eventually he just accepts that intelligence skipped a generation somewhere.

• Still loves them.

• Just occasionally wonders how they survive.

Eetu

• Eetu finds it hilarious.

• At first.

• The first misunderstanding? Funny.

• The second? Funny.

• The twentieth? Less funny.

• He starts making jokes.

- Eetu: “If your mother were green, would that make you a leaf?”

• The child actually thinks about it.

• Eetu immediately regrets asking.

• You’re losing it.

• Eventually he just starts ruffling the kid’s hair.

• Eetu: “You’re lucky you’re cute.”

• He never lets them live it down.

• This becomes legendary future family teasing material when the kid gets older. (And hopefully smarter)

Etuwa

• Etuwa is patient beyond human comprehension.

• She explains things gently.

• Repeats herself kindly.

• Uses stories, analogies, examples from nature.

• Somehow none of it lands.

• One day she thinks the child finally understands.

• Finally.

• Victory.

• Then:

- Child: “So if Dad joins another clan he’ll be mixed too?”

• Etuwa just stares.

• Not angry. Not upset.

• Just processing.

• Even she reaches her limit eventually.

• The child receives the longest explanation in Pandora’s history.

• Child: “ohh so if I ask the humans for a different body then I’ll have five fingers right?”

• Yeah… she’s gonna be praying to Ewya for her child really hard after that one.

Tamtey

• Tamtey starts confident.

- Tamtey: “This will take one conversation.”

• It does not.

• After the fifth conversation they’re concerned.

• After the tenth they’re frustrated.

• After the fifteenth they’re impressed.

• The misunderstanding has survived every attempt to remove it.

• It has become immortal.

• The child confidently explains their own heritage.

• Incorrectly.

• In public.

• Tamtey nearly chokes.

• Other adults are looking at them.

• Looking at the child. Looking back at them.

• As if asking:

- “Have you taught them anything?”

• They have. Repeatedly.

I want to introduce you to my son. William Allen or just Will.

A cold, sarcastic Marine and just a wonderful person. He has a steely self-control, likes to tell people outright nonsense with a serious face, so that they do not understand whether he is telling the truth or lying, for fun. Loves knives. He has a charming laugh. Perfectly get along with everyone. Will is a loyal soldier of Colonel Quaritch, ready to carry out any order.

She was just so brave and resilient. They were still CHILDREN, likely preteens, and she was already done with TAP and done with Mercer. Done with Alma and done with everything they had tried to shove down their throats for years. The first time in the game we hear the Sarentu Song is from her, humming it in the middle of Alma’s pointless lecture. She could already see through all the lies and subtle, insidious phrasing. “When we discovered Pandora—” / “You can’t ‘discover’ something that’s been there all along.” She was so observant and let nothing slip passed.

Mercer antagonizes Tamtey about the songcord and Aha’ri doesn’t hesitate. She steps in to protect her younger sibling from having to deal with him, whether to suffer punishment if Tamtey refused or to sacrifice a piece of their past if Tamtey obeyed. She grabs Mercer’s wrist and doesn’t let go until she’s done speaking.

the recombinants are not clones. they were created from the DNA of the human specimen and the DNA of a na'vi specimen, which by definition is not a clone (essentially the same idea as sexual reproduction--two parties were used to "conceive" a child).

this leads to the genetic material of each "parent" working to create a unique individual. of course the RDA can probably be picky about what specific genes they want the resulting hybrid to have, but they cannot control every single factor that takes place during this time. in turn, the different genetic material leads to a unique personality, outlook of the world, goals, and drive to live.

they are not the Na'vi clones of their human counterparts. it's more similar to them being their "child" (with half of their DNA being taken from the human version of themselves).

we do know that their human "parent's" memories were uploaded into their consciousness, up to some several hours before the big battle. this allows them to retain their knowledge of the human world as well as give them preset identities. but their own, natural personalities are going to shine through.

we see this in Quaritch, where he takes the time to listen to Spider and is shown being more sensitive to the death of the Tulkun and the harvesting of amrita.

their Na'vi heritage and connection to Eywa is also going to shine through. we see this in little rebellious acts. going barefoot, trimming their pants leggings, vocalizations, admiring the Pandoran scenery (we see this with Z-Dog and, again, Quaritch).

these Na'vi hybrids are not clones. they are their own people, with the memories of their neighbor and a loyalty to the RDA that they didn't sign up for. essentially, these people were lied to and didn't have a chance to experience Eywa for themselves or hell, experience themselves for themselves.

had these men and women grown up in the forest, in a clan, with a connection to Eywa, we would see them grow and flourish into beings who are distinctly different from their human counterparts regardless of if they share their DNA or not.
