Many Moonys Ago...

Two generations. They live in ny head rent free

Honestly, I’m obsessed with how these three are practically mini-versions of their parents. It’s hilarious and kinda cursed, especially given the history between Jake, Grace, and Quaritch. Maybe it’s future parallels or I'm just insane

I wonder if their uncanny resemblance to their parents was that deeply intentional.

It’s so funny watching Spider and Kiri when their parents were literally like that

meanwhile, these two are just adorable together.

the one thing that took me out of artblock....... might've been obsessed with avatar lately, but don't worry, the star wars obsession is still in high gear

anyway spiri is awesome, i screamed in the movie theater watching fire and ash

No. He wasn’t.

Spider was surprised. He didn’t react at first because the one girl in the entire world he believed he never had a chance with kissed him. If someone I’d been crushing on for a long time suddenly kissed me, I’d be stunned too. That initial stillness wasn’t hesitation. It was shock.

He only reacted after Kiri kissed him the first time. Then he stared up at her in open awe, like he was waiting to wake up from a dream. But he didn’t. And when she kissed him a second time, he lifted a hand to the side of her face and reciprocated.

So, no... Spider wasn’t being nonchalant, unsure, or disturbed. He was shaken to his core because his childhood friend, the girl he’d quietly yearned after for years, had just confirmed her feelings for him. For HIM. The small, fragile human in a world so much bigger than he is.

- everyone talks about Kiri and her worry, and that's such a big part. but also Lo'ak and Tuk! they were so worried

- Lo'ak calling for him after he fell, as he runs to him. followed by Tuk's worried face asking what they can do.

- piggy back rides! (or whatever Lo'ak calls it sounds like maybe a play on the word "tapirus", which is kinda like a Pandoran pig. so that makes it the Na'vi phrase for "piggy ride". idk though. just my best guess. if someone with captions knows, please spill 🙏🙏🙏). there is 0 hesitation from Lo'ak. of course he'll carry his brother. it's a no brain.

- Spider looks, in a very sad way, so tiny on Lo'ak's back. and for Lo'ak... this is the second time he's felt his brother dying against his back. holding him up as his body literally fails. what's it like to hear your brother's rasping, dying breaths in your ear a second time? and he doesn't even have a free arm to hold onto his hand either.

- both Kiri and Lo'ak trying to catch Spider 😔

- the three of them gathering around him. Kiri holding him, Tuk holding his head. Lo'ak just having to watch. they're babies! 15, 14, and 8. watching their brother essentially die as they're already on the run, all alone.

- Kiri praying despite feeling that disconnect between her and Eywa. not that she ever questioned her faith, but still. my baby girl 😔

- Tuk clearly being so scared, she was breathing so fast the entire scene.

- Lo'ak, lovingly, not having any of it. the way he just scoops Spider up and starts moving. he's so gentle. he couldn't lose another brother. he was scared and even a bit angry.

- the Jake and Grace/Lo'ak and Spider parallel. Jake you are the father.

- "it's gonna be ok buddy, just breathe" shoot me actually. I wanted to be sick hearing that in the theater.

- cut to Lo'ak using Spider as a pointer while telling Kiri to get up 😭🤚 stop jerking him around like a ragdoll, Lo'ak, he's already dying

- "Tuk go get her"

- Eywa popping some Atokirina in there like "hear baby girl use these". gotta love. mama is being supportive.

- Lo'ak growling at Kiri in frustration and really resisting 'wasting' anymore time as he holds Spider in his arms (still can't get over his stressful that has to be for him specifically). and how Tuk seems to sorts be siding with him. she wants to keep going too.

- Kiri frantically clearing off the forest floor and Tuk sitting next to her while Lo'ak is holding their dying brother going "stop🧍 Stop 🧍"

- and then it was Kiri's turn to not fuck around, not even a little bit. like. God level not fucking around.

- Lo'ak's face after Kiri yelled at him 😭 he remembers she's the eldest of the Sully's in that moment.

- he puts Spider down so gently 😔 and he's so worried while Kiri is doing her Tsahik type shit

"Kiri stop! What are you doing?"

as Kiri is literally forcing a seed of Eywa into his lungs. which. was badass as shit.

- Lo'ak walking away... he can't watch Spider die knowing he just put him down and stopped bringing towards what he knew would save him. if Spider dies, it'll be "his fault" again. and he can't do it again.

- poor Tuk just watching with the saddest little face

- when she calls Lo'ak back over, you could see he was clearly crying. but he seems hopeful. only to plant himself right down at his side. holding him gently. realizing he might not be losing a brother.

- Kiri reminds me so much of Mo'at in this scene. I know she's going Shaman things. so that's the parallel. but oh, oh Kiri, you are your grandmother's granddaughter.

- Lo'ak looking so scared before taking his mask off. almost throwing it off, like it's burning him to do so.

- both Lo'ak and Tuk holding Spider's back/arm 😔😭

- I think seeing how the time passes and Lo'ak hunched over and holding Tuk... I think he already grieved that initial grief of this potentially not working. but it certainly hit him. his heart was ready as it could ever be. and poor Tuk was so tired.

- Lo'ak couldn't lose Kiri too. I can't imagine having to be the one having to pull that plug, no pun intended. like. literally, having to choose between continuing the blessing and saving his brother and stopping his sister from having a seizure

- "Lo'ak! stop!" oh Tuk 😭

- the girls crying over Spider's body while Lo'ak just stares. Jake... you are the father.

- Neteyam parallel

- not them not helping him up at all 😭🤚 they're making sure he's really back

- "Spider!" oh that's his little baby sis (Tuk)

like is that picture of spider and kiri not just

spider may not be a sully but he is a SULLY

Like when Kiri immediately picks up on Spider's feelings about Quaritch in Way of Water and doesn't hesitate to not only confirm, but affirm that he isn't his father and isn't responsible for what his father's done.

Or at the end of Fire and Ash when Kiri starts seizing.

Kiri starts seizing three times between Way of Water and Ash and Fire. The first two times, the reactions of the people around her are to disconnect her from Eywa.

But Spider- who's only had his kuru for like a week- instinctively connects with her.

His first instinct is not to sever her connection, it's to stabilize it. To find a way to ground her, to be present for her. It's something that he doesn't even think about, he just does it. Because he knows that Kiri needs him with her
