Prompt - Ideology
@jegulus-microfic December 25 Word count 261
“Regulus, Santas been!” James called out excitedly, riffling through the presents under the tree. Regulus emerged from the bedroom and came yawning down the stairs.
“You do know that Santa isn’t real, right?”
“No, he’s totally real, and he’s a wizard.” James started to list all the ways Santa was real, beaming at Regulus the entire time. “Flying sleigh. Magical creatures. Ability to manipulate time. Breaking and entry with transfiguration. Totally a wizard. Plus, how do you explain all these presents from him?” Regulus said carefully, wondering if James had banged his head on the way downstairs that morning.
“James, you do realise these are from your mum, right?”
“Why would my mum say she’s Santa? Oh, my Godric Gryffindor! Is my mum Santa?!”
What? No, James. You can’t be serious. Do not answer that.” He warned when James got that look on his face. “The whole concept of Santa is an ideology that parents made up to appease and control their children and apparently their adult ones as well.” Regulus was getting tired of having to explain such a simple thing to an 18-year-old man.
“Santa left some for you too,” James said, holding up a small collection of gifts in his hands.
“For me, really?” Regulus ran forward and grabbed the gifts out of James’s hands.
Dear Regulus
Merry Christmas
Love
Santa
“I know they’re from your mum but,” He trailed off, unsure how to finish.
“It’s the magical wonder?” James added helpfully.
“Yeah, something like that.” Regulus smiled happily as he carefully unwrapped his first-ever present from Santa.

the Sully kids' reaction to Jake saying Spider "knew everything" breaks my heart.
they knew him better than anyone else, better than their parents. they knew his love for Eywa, for Pandora, for The People, for the clan, for their family. they knew he would never tell the RDA anything... not willingly at least.
they knew they were leaving because Spider would be tortured for information, he'd be forced to reveal their home, their plans, their numbers, their weaknesses. their brother would be tortured and they were being forced to leave him behind.
they knew they were being forced to find a new home, without their brother, because their dad knew he would be tortured.
#I like to think. for the sake of my sanity. Jake knew Spider would be loyal to them. that he would only blab once broken by torture.#anything else would kill me. the level of anger would be lethal.#but regardless. I think the kids would also need to believe the same thing. they *need* to think their dad has faith in their brother.#but back to the reactions themselves. the heartbreak and confusion on Kiri and Tuk's face. the way Lo'ak looks dissociated.#we can barely even see his face. but even Neteyam looks surprised and painted. even if its kept under a calm guise#(I will never let anyone convince me 'tey didn't love Spi. James. give us more about them please. more than these little crumbs)#they were just little kids and he was their big brother#he was Lo'ak and Kiri's best friend#Tuk was his baby#I feel it in my bones that Spi and 'tey were brothers with a complicated history. I know 'tey was scared to lose him.#I don't have proof but I know James is cooking up something with them#they would never believe Spider would just give them up. but that opens up their minds to so many things to think about#they had to be so scared for him and angry he was being left behind#(especially since in the comics Kiri. Lo'ak. and Tuk risk their lives to save him when he was kidnapped by Nash)#avatar 2#avatar the way of water#spider socorro#miles spider socorro#miles socorro#kiri sully#lo'ak sully#tuk sully#tuktirey sully#neteyam sully#lo'ak#kiri#tuk#tuk tuk#tuktirey#neteyam

Niki Lauda convincing everyone he was anything but as insane as the rest of them was the biggest con he ever pulled. I'm enamoured with the workings of his mind.
Something in me broke when I got near the end, and he was like "No, I WILL take time out of my book to complain about people stealing my clothes, the house never having yoghurt, and this one guy trying to sell me a meadow above market price, but I ain't having it."
Also,
>barges into rival's room
>today i vin ze championship
>refuses the elaborate
>leaves
#niki lauda#classic f1#formula 1#f1#there's like so many snippets just around of this sort of vibe from him but grabbing the ones I remembered from epubs were the easiest#never forget niki was a cringefail kid while james' was being looked at as a future doctor#i also appreciate how he was consistent in “i'm taking all medical advice :)” (advice: don't drive) “i'm taking some medical advice :)”#'get back on the horse' brainworms mentality got him in the end as well as the actual horses which he also seemingly could not escape from#there's also the saga with his housekeeper that's too long to include but feels like it came out a comedy sketch#I guess take this as a preview of research for a big graphic design project i've been doing on him that'll be finished up soon

Avatar fandom on TikTok is scaring me so I am going to teach you all media literacy if it kills me.
I steadfastly believe that the Neytiri/Quaritch/Spider trio is the most interesting and layered character development JC has going for him rn. Ya’ll not having the basic human empathy to understand Spider or Neytiri’s povs is freaking me out.
First, Neytiri. Neytiri is someone who has lost half her family, half her clan, and the only home she’s ever known to an oppressive colonizing force. Quaritch is the physical representation of all that pain and loss. He had not only killed countless Na’vi, killed Grace, tried to destroy their connection to all of their ancestors, and is the person who destroyed her home and killed her father, he is also the person who almost killed Jake. He also in a way, represents Jake’s betrayal. We forget, but Jake did betray Neytiri. He stayed with the Omaticaya knowing what Quaritch and Parker Selfridge had planned for them, feeding them information about their home and their strengths, and she forgave him, but Na’vi mate for life and he didn’t disclose that vital information beforehand. Jake was working and spying directly for Quaritch. He represents that hurt. For her, Spider is like a ticking time bomb. He is around her kids and she can’t ever feel safe with this child, this human child of her worst enemy who has caused all of the worst things in her life, in her life and with her family. She tolerates him for her kids but that’s it. I think her mindset totally makes sense, and I really hope she’s able to see past his parentage and accept him!
Spider is a child. He is not responsible for the actions of his parents, obviously. He has spent his entire life being raised by people that really don’t want anything to do with him. He has been basically a burden his entire life. The scientists were forced to keep him because he was too young to send to Earth, and the Sully’s were not equipped (and did not really try) to take on a human child. They are basically his family, but they don’t treat him as such. Everything that happens with Quaritch is Stockholm syndrome times 10000. And the opposite for Quaritch, which is Lima syndrome. This kid has never had an adult show him care or affection, and now he’s getting it from a weird reanimated clone of his father in a kidapping/hostage situation. Quaritch’s first move is to take Spider from torture. He says you can come with me or you can be tortured. He conditions him from the get go, that’s bad stuff here is good stuff. Even more importantly, in Spider’s eyes he saves his life from Neytiri. I would LOVE to know later if she intended to kill him (pls check out my post on my opinion on the significance of the cut on his chest) but regardless, Spider thinks she did and that Quaritch saved him. Regardless of his motives and how bad of a person he is (irredeemably sorry Quaritch girlies), Spider can’t leave him to die. It’s such a hard decision for him, but he’s a kid and a good person. One who values life like all Na’vi are taught to. And he still leaves him to go back to the Sully’s, who have not bothered to even try to be concerned about him outside of the kids.
I’m not even gonna get too far into Quaritch, because I know there’s a lot of Quaritch stans out there now which does boggle my mind. But, as awful of a person as he is, he is a super super interesting character in this movie. In the first movie, he is a blatant representation of racism and colonialism in the worst sense, in a way that makes him a great villain but not a very layered character. He is a foil for Jake, showing us the worst of Jake in an outside antagonist. It’s easy to forget by AWOW that Jake used to have a similar mindset to Quaritch. Placing Quaritch in the body of those he fears and hates the most I think is a very fun twist. But what I really loved was his fear of Neytiri and how much that is highlighted in the film. The way he looks at her arrows is just spine chilling, and I can’t wait to see her kill him again because I can’t see it culminating any other way.
The other thing relating to this is Spider’s fear of Neytiri. Her mistrust and fear of him had been a block in his life basically since birth. Her kids love and accept him as a brother easily, and Jake keeps him at arms length for Neytiri (which is a whole Jake issue but we can get into Jake another time). Neytiri stands between Spider and the family he’s always wanted, and him seeing her fight and just backing up in fear before she grabs him is so good, just a great culmination of all events. What I’d love to see from it is Neytiri and Spider having to come to terms with their fear of the other in order to move on and create a family unit. A son for a son, right, Quaritch gets Neteyam killed so Neytiri, Quaritch’s biggest fear, gets what he wants right now, which is Spider.
#i love our sully besties but they have very basic storylines rn#come on#30 minutes into the movie it's clear neteyam's dead and loak is gonna have to have a big moment with jake and that kiri is jesus#weve seen those movies 1000 times james#i don't think quaritch would be a good parent but i think he wants spider#and i think that's jsut fantastic if a son for a son for neytiri means she just is like nah my kid fuck u#but anyways#turned into a tiny bit of speculation at the end but mostly#thank you for learning media literacy with me today tiktok u scare me#neytiri#miles spider socorro#miles socorro#miles quaritch#avatar#avatar the way of water#james cameron avatar#james cameron#melissa on avatar (cameron)#melissa og

Y'know since my dumbass child Langa is Canadian, his name has always been said in the order First Name Last Name (ie Langa Hasegawa) but like. In Japan it's the other way around. So Hasegawa Langa. Which brings my next point:
When he has to say Hasegawa Langa, he says it in the same way as "Bond. James Bond."
#because you know he's stupid#so he'll go Hasegawa Langa#but out of habit he'll say the Hasegawa after the Langa too#so this kid just goes ''Hasegawa Langa Hasegawa''#and it confuses the shit out of everyone#except nanako that loses her shit every time because she hes the james bond thing#also Oliver was a big James Bond fan#it feels like such a dad thing and he was such a dad#so like#thats my headcanon of the day#langa hasegawa#hasegawa langa#sk8#sk8 the infinity#lils rambles

untitled fic snippet
here you go guys @jvstncthcme @anemicc-royalty @wifeofdevil
“Lily?”
James walked into the kitchen, parchment in hand, tears threatening to form. Lily looked at what was in his hand, and when he did, she dropped the spatula and her eyes widened.
“You weren’t supposed to find that yet.”
“Lily, what’s going on?”
“James, I- Can we sit down?” They did so, and Lily took James’ hands in her own. “I promise this has nothing to do with you. I just- we got married really quickly, you know? We were young, and honestly quite immature, and we didn’t really know what we were doing. I know that I loved you then, and I still do, just not in the same way.
“I hadn’t even noticed until a few days ago. I’ve been spending a lot of time with Mary MacDonald recently, and it took me a while, but I realized that I was falling in love with her. It made me rethink how I felt about you, and well, here we are.”
At some point while she was talking, James had wiped away any trace of tears. He leaned forward and hugged Lily, letting this be the last time he did so as her husband. “I’m really happy for you, Lils. I hope things work out.”
He pulled out of the hug, and she looked back at him. “Are you alright?”
“I will be.”
Roughly nine months later, now living in his own, larger place, due to a recent increase of art sales, that were just continuing to climb. He knew they’d go back down someday, probably soon, but honestly? His art was being sold at quite a high price, and being sold for even higher at auctions, so he was set for a little bit. He’s also a children’s counselor, now that he’s able to have the requirements necessary, and he wants to help every kid he can, knowing how a bad childhood home can affect someone.
So, he was currently headed to an orphanage, to adopt a kid. One of his friends from school, Dorcas Meadowes, was an orphan, and she had told James about her times in the orphanage. James had vowed to himself that day that as soon as he could, he’d adopt as many children as he could. So today, he plans to adopt two, and he’s already certain he’ll come back for more. He didn’t just buy a new big house for nothing, after all.
After walking into the orphanage and greeting the lady at the desk, he was allowed to look around. Another worker followed him, and was to help him with names of the children.
He didn’t know why, but for some reason, he was drawn to the newborns. He guessed it made sense. Get them out of the bad place before they remember it.
James’ eyes landed on the first child, and he just knew he had to have her. He asked the worker what her name was, and her name fit her perfectly. Mariposa.
“Well, Miss Mari. You really are quite adorable. If we’re lucky, you might just have a new home by the end of the day,” James reached in and ran a finger down her face the way his mum used to, and smiled when the little girl wrapped her hand around his finger. He pried her off and ran his hand through the small bit of hair on her head, before walking to the next one.
What he saw made him stop dead in his tracks. This baby looked exactly like Harry, the one he used to dream he and Lily would have together. He had bright, gorgeous green eyes, black hair exactly like his own, and a skin color just a bit lighter than his own.
“Uhm, miss? What’s his name?”
“Harry Evans.”
#untitled#past Jily#marylily#macevans#james potter#harry evans#harry potter#yes i know i said harry’s last name and not mariposa’s. i just couldn’t think of a last name for her.#no lily slander here i promise#james being a successful artist and a children’s counselor#using the money he’s earned to buy a big house so him and his 47 adopted kids can live safe away from bad orphanages and abusive parents#also i pronounce mari as mars without the s and with and e sound#like the e sound in words like eat and each

i like james' childish behavior and not cuz it makes them a "cute baby" but cuz of that connection to their past... like they lost their childhood to trauma and abuse you know what im sayin
#ganon rambles#it can be a flaw but its also what makes them james i guess#and the reason they joined team rocket most likely has to do with the fact that they really didnt know what else to do#i feel like TR tends to prey on people who are lost in life. thats why many agents arent necessarily as 'evil' as they wish they were#and james coming out of that abusive situation? they never actually got taught how to exist#on top of being pampered as a rich kid#so theyre just an adult that has no idea what to do with themself has no street smarts and straight up just ran away#they dont know where to start so it makes sense that they took the easiest option that was most accessible which was joining TR#and you know when they do get that freedom to be themself they have a lot of catching up to do#like their whole personality was forced to be locked away and everything they loved was considered a flaw that needed to be erased#so as an adult of course they love bottlecaps and cuddling cute pokemon#and of course they're extremely emotional and dont know how to handle it!#of course they throw a tantrum when extremely stressed and start sobbing when theyre stressed and pull their hair and such#which isnt necessarily bad ofc but u know what i mean right#and theyre not a big manbaby for it either? they just dont know how to handle their emotions#look idk how to explain any of this right but true james fans get it#its not an 'oh theyre so cute and childish 🥺' thing#like u get it u get it#grape soda
