Avatar 2: The Water Way Tickle Headcanons

Aonung Tonowari'itan

Aonung is terribly sensitive when it comes to being ticklish and almost never allows someone to tickle him although usually he only allows his parents or his baby brothers and although he would never tell anyone... also Kiri.

Aonung occasionally gets into tickling fights between him and his adoptive baby brother Rotxo. However, when he gets into trouble he has to receive punishments full of tickling attacks by his parents.

Aonung often tickled his baby brother Rotxo a lot while they grew up, chasing him for his mauri and tickling him to tears.

Aonung is quite picky. It is so much so that he can't stand them saying the word tickle and much less can he stand his little brothers and his parents moving their fingers towards him and in front of him. And he has to beg for mercy and mercy before they touch him or even before they even start tickling him.

Aonung has always been sensitive even when he was still a baby.

Aonung usually has to be my reserved for others to discover that he is tickled so in general it prevents others from knowing it. When Kiri found out, she tickled him until he literally cried. Of course that stayed between them.

Aonung has a lot of tickles, so many that literally work as many lighter tickles as the hardest tickles can be overwhelming.

Aonung has so many tickles that he literally can't stand being bitten in his stomach and ears. In addition to that, as soon as Kiri discovered the high sensitivity, she blew so many raspberries at Aonung all over his stomach that he began to cry and scream with laughter and it was still with his ears. Aonung also ended up screaming and screaming with laughter when Kiri tickled him using his tail to attack him in his navel and also in his ear and although Aonung can momentarily reduce his loud and vaunted laughter, there are always some whining laughs mixed.

After Neteyam's death. Aonung's parents as well as his baby sister tickled him along with his baby brother Rotxo without having mercy on either of them. And despite the fact that Aonung doesn't have self-control when it comes to that. However, he felt happier after that. Especially when he and his baby brother Rotxo discovered that, like them, their father was also tickled.

Aonung's laughter is absolutely childish and adorable. But she ends up releasing screams, laughter and squeals of laughter as a little girl.

His tickle death points are the armpits, the ears, the stomach (although his belly button is the most sensitive part of his stomach) and the waist. The only irony is that Aonung tickles the same places and places as his father Tonowari.

Lo'ak te Suli Tsyeyk'itan

Lo'ak is super sensitive and usually he... doesn't like to be tickled, to say the least. Despite the fact that when he was younger he used to like it a lot more that they tickle him. Lo'ak usually has the one who suffers the most from tickling attacks by his older brothers (Kiri and Neteyam) along with his baby sister Tuk and especially from his parents. And despite the fact that Lo'ak often hates accepting it... he is the most picky in his family, since he has more tickles than his older brother and his dad as well.

His mom and dad along with their older brothers (Kiri and Neteyam) along with their baby sister Tuk. They have to tickle him a lot, especially after they moved in with the Metkayina. And after Lo'ak met Payakan, both his mom and dad tickled him as punishment. And after Lo'ak became Payakan's spiritual brother. And after his dad will take him, that's when his dad instead of making a knot in his tail as he had said before. He and his mom tickled him without having mercy on him.

And after Neteyam's death. His dad and his mom tickled him and Spider mercilessly before then Lo'ak will find out together with his dad and his mom that Spider had saved Quaritch. Despite that, Lo'ak and Spider found out that their dad, was also tickled.

And after that, when Lo'ak was sitting on the shore gate, one day he ended up meeting Tsireya who also ended up discovering that he was tickled. Needless to say, Tsireya ended up reducing Lo'ak to the point of ending up crying and screaming with laughter.

She has a laugh that is surprisingly childish full of tenderness, Lo'ak also has to scream, squeal and laugh like a little girl when she is very tickled.

Lo'ak occasionally tries to escape when they try to tickle him. When Lo'ak and Spider's parents mercilessly made him poor Lo'ak had to be held by both of them so that his parents could make him laugh. And when Tsireya tickled him mercilessly, he had to hold his hands under his knees.

Lo'ak has always been a bit sad that others discover that he has a lot of tickles. Although it is possible that he is mostly angry.

Lo'ak has so many shells that he can't stand being given raspberries in his stomach and especially in his navel and especially in his ears. And just as he doesn't ask to endure the raspberries on his waist and the bites will destroy him especially in the bones of his waist and in his ears.

His worst tickling points are his armpits, hips, stomach (especially his belly button) as well as his ears. Lo'ak can't stand being given mercilessly raspberries throughout his stomach and navel, just as he simply can't stand being tickled in his armpits for a very long time and the same is with his ears and above all his waist. The only irony is that just like Aonung. Lo'ak is also tickled in the same places as his dad in addition to the fact that he and Aonung are tickled in the same places.

Rotxo Tonowari'itan (Rotxo Ko'nal'itan)

Rotxo is absolutely picky and sensitive. And despite the fact that Rotxo almost never admits it out loud. He loves to be tickled and he loves to tickle others...especially his adoptive father Tonowari, his adopted older brother Aonung and his friends (Lo'ak, Aonung, Neteyam and Spider) although when it came to tickling Spider. Rotxo has to blush a lot, especially due to his obvious crush on Spider.

Rotxo is totally adorable when he is tickled, he has always been ticklish since he was a baby and a small child, his older siblings (Aonung and Tsireya) often tickled him just like their adoptive parents every time they tickled Rotxo. He had to make silly faces and funny grimaces while he continued laughing until they finally stopped.

Rotxo can't control his laughter, especially when he is given raspberries all over his stomach and in his ribs along with his sides, especially in his hypersensitive feet.

Rotxo is super picky. Aonung and Tsireya tickled her so much once that her father came running worried while her mother arrived shortly after due to her pregnancy she was so worried about her children but when they both saw that nothing was happening; the two were relieved to see that their older children were only tickling their adopted son Rotxo.

He has an adorable and childish laugh. Rotxo can barely stand it when he is tickled, Rotxo also has to let out snorts and many squeals along with screams of little girl laughter!.

After Neteyam's death. His parents made him carefree together with his siblings and despite the fact that Rotxo always says that he is already too old to be made care of him, he really likes them very much.

His death points are his ribs, his sides, the entire area of his stomach (especially in his belly button) and his feet. The poor Rotxo has so many tickles that he can never stand even two seconds.

Jake Sully (Tsyeyk Suli)

Jake is quite tickled and had never managed to protect himself from tickling. Jake has to constantly receive a lot of gossip from his wife and also has to tickle his children Neteyam and Lo'ak. Just like his adopted oldest son Spider.

Jake usually attacks his children with everything and Neytiri constantly helps him make them tickle although she also tends to tickle him constantly.

Jake frequently suffered the fits of his twin brother Thomas "Tommy". And sometimes when Neytiri was still teaching Jake to adapt like a Na'vi on one occasion Tsu'tey ended up discovering that he was tickled but fortunately for Jake. He also ended up discovering that Tsu'tey also had a lot of tickling.

Jake has to scream, scream and laugh with absolute hysteria. Neytiri discovered that if he made him laugh enough, Jake ended up snorting and his laughter becomes feminine.

The bites in his ears and sometimes in his waist, neck and raspberries all over his stomach absolutely destroy him. Jake can't stand them at all.

Jake literally has eight tickle points, the main tickle points he has are his armpits, his stomach (especially in his belly button), his waist and his ears, while the spots that tickle a little more are his elbows, his knees, his neck and his feet. Jake's twin brother, Thomas "Tommy" used to tickle him since they were young children. After Neytiri and he defeated the people of heaven in the first war on one occasion it ended up happening that Neytiri discovered that he was tickled and she began to use that against him to blackmail him and after they had her children Jake almost never allowed Neytiri to tickle him but then Neteyam's death. Neytiri ended up tickling him on one occasion after they both mercilessly tickled his sons Lo'ak and Spider.

Miles Quaritch

The poor Quaritch is super picky. Miles had never been able to stand the ticklish he had since he was little. Since he actually knew Lyle since they were both teenagers and Lyle constantly made him tickle when they were teenagers and when Miles met Paz Socorro. The first love of his life, she also ended up tickling him mercilessly.

All the recoms knew how sensitive and picky Quaritch is; he couldn't hide it to save his life. Because of this, they regularly puncture and push it.

Despite the fact that Miles would never admit it out loud. And physically he never showed it. Inside he got very nervous when someone points out his sensitivity (and how much he loves it). Her whole face always blushed, from her neck to her ears.

On one occasion Paz and Lyle held him and tickled him mercilessly all over his stomach, ribs, sides and feet until he cried once.

Quaritch can't help but start laughing even before they start tickling him, anticipation on its own to break any determination he has.

Although Quaritch would never physically admit it, he could never pronounce the word tickle; just listening to it will send him into a spiral.

And after he joined the Ash Clan and met Varang. Quaritch was constantly tickled by her. Since Varang tickled him every time he made a mistake about something or was distracted so that he would concentrate.

Miles laughter is absolutely attractive and adorable. He can't stand when raspberries blow all over his stomach (and especially in his belly button), Quaritch could never stand it when he was bitten by his waist bones, his sides and his ribs. And his feet are mortally ticklish, he can't stand the tickling at all.

The death points of Miles' tickle are his ribs, his sides, as well as his entire stomach (especially in his belly button) and his hypersensitive feet. Quaritch constantly also ended up being tickled by his Ikran, Cupcake.

Spyder te Suli Tsyeyk’itan (Spyder te Sokoro Myils'ita)

Spider is extremely picky, he has never been able to stand being tickled. Since he was a baby he had always been picky, his biological mother constantly tickled him when he was a baby. And sometimes his biological father Quaritch, when he was still human, also tickled Spider.

Spider secretly likes to be tickled; although he often prefers that no one finds out about it. In addition, he has always liked to be the one who tickles others, especially his adoptive brothers (Neteyam and Lo'ak) as well as his friends (Aonung and...Rotxo) when with Spider he tickled Rotxo he always ended up blushing and shy because of his crush that he had for Rotxo.

When Spider was still a child, he loved to tickle Neteyam when they were little along with Lo'ak and Kiri. But as they grew up, let's say that their bond was broken and they were no longer as close as before.

Spider ended up receiving multiple tickling attacks during the months in which Spider had been with the RDA and recommended them along with his biological father. On one of those occasions it was because when none of the recoms (including Spider's father) were not watching Spider, he put spicy powder on all their clothes although when it came to their underwear what Spider did was that when they were supposed to wash it he changed the detergent for the powder and then when everyone put on their clothes once it was already "clean" a few seconds later everyone was scratching against everything they had on hand and even between them mercilessly due to the itching of the dust. It really wasn't too much to say that everyone discovered that it had been Spider when they saw that he was laughing at all of them and as soon as he realized Spider that they are in trouble he tried to escape but then all the recom and his dad held him and then what Spider knew was that they were tickling him mercilessly. While his biological father held him with his arms over his head, he was also mercilessly tickling his ribs by moving his fingers over all his ribs which immediately led to Spider to absolute hysteria and while that was happening his dad also used his tail to tickle his lower ribs. And at the same time that happened, his dad's classmates also came together to tickle Spider as much Ja and Prager tickled his sides while Lyle blew raspberries all over his stomach at the same time Zdinarsk (Z-Dog) also tickled his feet using his hands as well as his tail. Since that day, Spider never made a joke on them again for fear of being mercilessly tickled again.

Spider had also been tickled by both Lo'ak and Kiri, sometimes by the two of them together. And that was especially when Spider was sad to remember that he would never be a Na'vi what made Kiri and Lo'ak tickled him mercilessly to make him smile again. And other times it was because he and Lo'ak bothered Kiri about the issue that Norm was his biological father that led to Kiri to tickle them mercilessly to the death of both of them. So they both didn't bother her anymore because of that.

Spider's laughter is very contagious and adorable. Spider is fully aware of that. Her laughter is childish and she has to snort or squeal and even scream with laughter although she always ends up laughing like a girl almost immediately because of how picky she is.

Since Neteyam's death. Spider became very discouraged and on one occasion Neytiri and Jake tickled him along with Lo'ak to absolute hysteria but at the same time Spider confessed to having saved his biological father. But surprisingly both Jake and Neytiri and Lo'ak immediately forgave him and they also confessed to Spider that they wanted him to be their son made it so that Spider could be happy just like Lo'ak.

The worst points with the most tickling of Spider are his ribs, his sides, his whole stomach (especially his belly button) since his biological dad often tickled him there is giving him raspberries or using his tail and his feet just like his dad has deadly ticklish.

Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan

Neteyam is extremely picky. He is almost as much as his dad but in spite of that his baby brother Lo'ak ends up overcoming him with the tickle. Neteyam being the big brother, it is naturally a good tingling, but his poor thing is VERY tickling.

Neteyam usually doesn't like to be tickled because being the older brother he prefers to look intimidating but all that ends as soon as something tickles his feet or neck. Despite that, Neteyam is usually very playful when it comes to him tickling his baby brother Lo'ak.

He often tickles Lo'ak gently but at the same time mercilessly every time his little brother gets into trouble like the time after his grandmother Mo'at finished healing his wounds and then when he saw his little brother feel so guilty, Neteyam tickled him mercilessly just to cheer him up. What Lo'ak despite not saying it out loud. He was grateful for the gesture in secret.

Neteyam can't stand the tickling at all. However, he can endure much better when he tickles someone else as long as the tickling is not directed at him.

Neteyam's laughter is absolutely impossible to stop hearing is so contagious and adorable that everyone tickles him constantly to make him laugh, Neteyam has to snort and scream a lot once they start tickling him.

After they leave, they will find shelters with the Metkayina. Neteyam was constantly attacked by tickling by both his brothers and his new friends... Aonung, Tsireya and Rotxo.

But at the same time Neteyam tried not to be tickled when he saw Akynia (a Metkayina for whom Neteyam had developed a strong crush) passing near them.

Neteyam's father constantly tickled him when he was a child as well as his baby brother Lo'ak and even when he was already a teenager.

Neteyam occasionally tickled Spider along with his little brothers (Kiri, Lo'ak and Tuk) but after they grew up Neteyam had stopped being close to Spider.

His worst tickle points are his neck, his super hypersensitive feet, his elbows and his knees. However, if you scrape his neck, you could kill him.

Tonowari

Tonowari is absolutely picky and being the Olo'eykan he will almost never let others tickle him and much less that they even discover how picky he is.

Tonowari had been very ticklish since he was a baby and a small child. And Tonowari had to happen to him frequently that due to how ticklish he is, he always ended up waving his legs and crossing them as if he were a child who was about to pee, something that always saddened him a lot.

When Tonowari and Ronal were teenagers. He was so in love with her that he was actually somewhat embarrassed to think that Ronal discovered that he was tickled however after they will get married becoming Tonowari in the Olo'eykan and Ronal in the Tsahík. It ended up happening that she accidentally ended up discovering how ticklish he was. Of course, Ronal also used that in his favor, tickling him quite often.

When they had their children. Ronal and his children began to torment poor Tonowari, constantly chasing him for his mauri and tickling him until Tonowari had tears of laughter in his eyes.

Tonowari had always been very observant. What on very rare occasions saved him from his wife's tickling attacks, but unfortunately even he ended up being caught off guard.

Tonowari had never had any kind of self-control over his laughter every time someone tickled him. It was literally so tickled that both the lighter tickles and the harder tickles can be overwhelming.

His laughter is the same as that of his eldest son Aonung. He is totally childish and adorable. Although, like Aonung, it usually happens to Tonowari that he ends up releasing one or another squeal as a girl and although Tonowari can momentari momentari reduce his loud laughter, full of laughter, there are always some whining laughs mixed.

After the death of Jake Sully's eldest son. Tonowari had come to tickle his sons Aonung and Rotxo a lot along with his wife Ronal and his daughter Tsireya although unfortunately at the same time Tonowari found himself being tickled by both his wife and his children.

His worst points are his armpits, his entire stomach (especially in his belly button), his waist and his ears. Poor Tonowari couldn't stand the limps, especially when his children and his wife tickle him at the same time.

Tsu’tey te Rongloa Ateyitan

Tsu'tey actually... doesn't really like to be tickled, to say the least. He has to act like the most mature and usually tells others that that is very childish (although despite what he says, of course Tsu'tey is super ticklish).

When Tsu'tey was younger, he usually only let Grace Augustine or Sylwanin tickle him a lot when Sylwanin was still alive. But after she was murdered, all that was just a very painful memory for him.

And when he was an adult, Tsu'tey usually only got tickled on very, very rare occasions either by Neytiri or by his baby brother Arvok. Although on one or two occasions Tsu'tey also ended up being tickled by Grace Augustine, Jake Sully and...Saeyla.

Tsu'tey was tickled by Neytiri at times when she. He noticed that he was particularly tense about his future tasks such as Olo'eykan. And regarding his baby brother Arvok, it was actually when Tsu'tey noticed that his baby brother was very sad or disappointed in himself for not having the approval of his parents. Tsu'tey let him tickle just because he knew that he would get Arvok to smile. And shortly after Tsu'tey reconciled with Grace Augustine they talked often and then it ended up happening that Grace, having been somewhat discouraged, decided to do the same thing she did when Tsu'tey was still a child and that was tickling her. And as for Saeyla that was when Tsu'tey had had an inconvenience that ended with the hanging head entangled in a pile of lianas and then Saeyla, being the only one who found him, decided to try to free him but accidentally ended up touching his lower back and thighs when trying to hold on to him and accidentally ended up discovering that Tsu'tey had a lot of tickling there. And finally with Jake that was when on one occasion Tsu'tey stayed to "see" Jake's lesson with Neytiri which was actually an excuse to make fun of him and when Neytiri had left for a while. Tsu'tey began to show off in front of Jake but then it happened that his tail accidentally tickled Jake in the armpits which caused that in a matter of seconds Tsu'tey discovered all the places where Jake was tickled but unfortunately for him it was Neytiri who had discovered them. He literally betrayed Tsu'tey in front of Jake and as expected Jake also ended up discovering that he was also tickled. What led Tsu'tey to have a truce with him so that he would never tickle him and not tell anyone at all.

On one occasion when Tsu'tey playfully hit Neytiri on the back or had made fun of Jake. Things never ended well for him because they always ended up taking revenge on him tickling him mercilessly. And how it was to be seen coming, Tsu'tey always ended up being reduced to multiple attacks of hysterical laughter mixed with squeals and screams of hysterical laughter and occasionally ended up laughing like a little girl.

Tsu'tey constantly refuses to accept that he has a lot of tickles and moves away from others by saying things like "childish" and "immature".

Tsu'tey has a surprisingly childish laugh full of adorable snorts and squeals.

Tsu'tey was always embarrassed to be made fun of when he is tickled.

His worst points where Tsu'tey has many more tickles are above all mainly his ears as well as his armpits on his lower back and on his thighs. However, the inner part of his thighs is in particular a deadly and especially sensitive area.

Tarsem

Tarsem has a lot of tickles. And although in reality he would never admit it to anyone, Tarsem really loves to be tickled and he loves to tickle others; Tarsem is the best of both worlds!

Tarsem really likes it when he is teased every time he is tickled. And he also likes to make fun of him when he tickles someone else who, of course, is not him. Tarsem used to tickle Lo'ak and Neteyam a lot. And he assaulted him knowing that they would take revenge on him knowing that they would tickle him ten times worse.

Tarsem is so tickled that literally when Lo'ak and Neteyam tickled him so much once they literally scared his entire clan because because of Tarsem's screams, squeals and snorts of laughter not to mention that they changed from being male to female in seconds caused everyone to think that someone was being attacked or killed.

Tarsem has a shrill and hysterical laugh full of snorts. And every time he is tickled, his laughs at first are completely manly but for the moment he always ends with squeaky and feminine laughs. And if you tickle him in the right place, Tarsem also ends up releasing some snorts along with squeals!

His whole clan knows that Tarsem loves to be tickled and the boy is not ashamed of it.

His worst points of Tarsem's shells are totally his knees, his armpits, his ribs and his neck.

Norm Spellman

Norm has a lot of ticklish, really. The only ones who really know how tingling Max, Spider, Kiri, Lo'ak, Tuk, Neteyam, Grace, Neytiri, Jake and Trudy are, literally. Max found out when he was checking that his Avatar will react to his sensitivity and then he discovered that Norm was extremely tickling while Spider, Kiri, Lo'ak, Tuk and Neteyam discovered it since they were little because Norm constantly took care of them when Jake and Neytiri were busy ... while on the other hand Trudy ended up discovering it when they were alone and she ended up accidentally rubbing his neck which caused a squeal followed by a laugh from Norm. He also tries to be discreet in order to avoid everyone else trying to tickle him, but for Eywa, that's the complicated part and that's why Norm is extremely VERY tickling.

It may not seem like it, but in reality Norm is VERY playful, he likes to make fun of his victims (since he constantly tickled Spider when he was still a baby and also when he was a little boy) and likes to go through the weak points of tickling enjoying seeing his victim screaming, snorting, screaming and laughing with absolute hysteria, especially when they are at his mercy, but he also likes to be done the same.

Despite the fact that Norm really likes to be tickled. The poor guy CAN'T say the word tickle. However, you can hear it in a passing conversation, as long as it is not addressed to him.

If someone comes to ask Norm if she tickles immediately, Norm begins to stutter without self-control and blushes until it looks the same as a ripe tomato. And he will never tell you a direct answer to your question about how tickling he is.

The same thing always happens to Norm and that is that when he sees someone start moving their fingers in his direction, it always destroys him and makes him start laughing hysterically without having any kind of control; all the Jakes, Neytiri with their children, as well as the Omaticayas and the Metkayinas (including Spider) love to do that knowing when their reaction will be.

Every time Norm is ticklish, she always ends up squeaking, snorting and screaming, just as it also always happens to her that she ends up laughing like a girl... which caused that on more than one occasion everyone will end up confusing Norm's laughter with that of some girl from Camp Omaticaya and with the Metkayina clan that left the face of a ripe tomato of absolute shame to Norm.

His worst points are his feet which constantly ends up making him scream like a girl, his super mega hypersensitive ears, his hips and his neck. However, if you scrape the neck of poor Norm, you could literally kill him seriously.

Eytukan te Tskaha Kamun'itan

Eytukan is also VERY ticklish... he usually doesn't like to be tickled, to say the least.

Eytukan was very much in love with Mo'at when they were still teenagers and young. He was really embarrassed to think that someone could discover him and could tickle him a lot. But shortly after mating with Mo'at she ended up discovering that he was very tickled, which on more than one occasion I used against her.

Eytukan used to allow only his wife and daughters (Sylwanin and Neytiri) when they were still girls to tickle him. But after Sylwanin was killed for Eytukan, all this became a very painful and sour memory for him.

Eytukan has a surprisingly childish and very attractive laugh, at the same time that he is also extremely adorable to hear. When he was still a teenager and even as an adult, his laughter was always very adorable to hear. Since it was full of snorts and squeals along with girl's screams.

His worst points are his knees, armpits, hips and thighs. The inner part of the thighs in particular is especially sensitive.

How would tonowari help with spider? What activities would they do together

@windhashirapiller this also answers you're ask

he's the stoic dad, so I think a lot of his love language is quiet personal time; walks on the shoreline, under the stars, one arm around his kid, telling stories from his past. watching spider sleep, one hand in his hair, nothing but love and bliss on his face. being the dad spider looks to when he's looking for recognition or admiration, and tonowari is always there to give him the proud dad smile.

very defensive of spider, but unlike ronal, instead of being an aggressive force that will make threats anytime anywhere, he is a daring and formidable force that stands behind him, daring anyone to bring harm to his boy.

when they first adopt spider he's the one to have The Talk with him. in my mind they adopt him after the neglect causes him to do harm to himself (he overworks himself, ignores his needs; he doesn't eat, doesn't drink, doesn't sleep. its when his body eventually goes out that tonowari and ronal step in), so spider is already on edge, physically and emotionally on edge, and trauma responding (pushing people away, getting aggressive to shield his weakness, expecting the worst of each and every interaction). so tonowari has to sit there and try to explain to this terrified kid, that he deserves better, that he is loved (despite feeling unlovable), that they want him. he has to console this scared child who has never truly known love. that night has forever scarred the great metakyina chief, just thinking about the look in his child's face, brings tears to his eyes. he's vowed to never, not even over his dead body, let spider feel like that ever again.

I think him being the stoic dad verbally, makes him the much more physical dad. he's always cupping spider's chin, embracing him, pressing their foreheads together (technically mask and forehead).

he speaks through his eyes, and spider has learned to read him like a book. there's always so much love and awe on his face.

he learns spider's favorite things; favorite foods, favorite types of beads for his jewelry making, favorite plants for his paints, etc. and he brings them to spider without him asking.

he was cautious with saying "I see you" or calling him son cause he knew spider had a complicated relationship with all his past father figures. when he adopts spider he does it knowing he may never bee his father in spiders heart (if anyone has seen the dragon prince, think callum and harrow; both want to be father/son so badly it is palpably painful, yet due to simple miscommunications, neither is aware of this, and actually think both parties want the opposite). so when the dam finally breaks (maybe spider gets hurt and tonowari can't contain his worry, or spider is desperate for any sort of paternal affection and he just flips out and clings to tonowari) it's devastating (but sorta in the best way possible). you'd think they're a father and son reuniting after the most trying of separations; big fat tears from both sides, tonowari won;t put spider down, spiders clinging to his father like he's gonna disappear. after that, tonowari never stops telling spider he sees him, that he loves him, that he is his son.

I have to say it, tonowari is a fishing dad, he takes spider hunting on the skimwing, just the two of them.

like ronal, he has many beads on his song chord for spider, but they are much more frequent. out of all of things in his life, nothing compares to his children. they keep him sane amongst all the duties of being chief, and with the circumstances that surround spider, its even more true. he finds any reason to add more and more beads for his children, especially spider, so when he reflects on this time in his life, it doesn't seem so bad.

he will play dumb so spider has the opportunity to teach him, he likes hearing how his son talks about things, how he thinks, and he loves the confidence it gives spider to teach someone else. Sometimes he genuinely learns things, other times he gains a new perspective; but no matter the case, its builds spider up, makes him more likely to speak within the village. (spider has adhd in my mind, and I know tonowari indulges every infodump that kid gives him, no matter how well he knows what he's talking about)

he takes spider under his wing just as he did ao'nung; he teaches him to rule, to think for the village, to be a good diplomat. he teaches the boys to work together to solve conflicts because if he gets his way, if all goes well, ao'nung will become chief with spider as his right-hand man so to speak. his boys futures are of the utmost priority to him.

The dynamic of Spider getting coparented by Quaritch, Ronal, and Tonowari is just

*Spider gets hurt*

Ronal: war crimes?

Quaritch: war crimes.

Tonowari: can we please think this through first?

he's so tired, he can barely keep up with the two anymore. he's about to put the 2 on a leash and wrap the boy in bubble wrap.

What’s Jake and Neytiris reaction the Absolute scolding Ronel gives them

I feel like there would be a moment of silence, ronal staring at the two with anger and them just looking back so thoroughly shocked that they have nothing to say. tonowari is just behind her, not showing a speck of disagreement within his barely hidden grimace.

neytiri wants to fight back, doesn't just want to take this scorn, but jake is trying to keep her quiet, knowing that it would be better to just talk it out.

"with all do respect, but you can't just take our kid,"

"you do not treat him like your child, you do not care for him, you do not love him."

"you have no right" neytiri would hiss, cause she's being backed into a metaphorical corner and she's not liking.

"did you realize he stopped eating? that he hasn't slept in a proper bed in almost a week or that he barely talks? did you even notice his pain, here" she places a hand on her forehead, "or here" she motions to here heart.

Jake would probably wince, try and pull Neytiri back, trying to calm the situation. "we've all been grieving, we just lost a son, you can't expect us to be perfect"

"and has anyone been there for him, helped him mourn?"

silence from all parties, Neytiri shocked, Jake biting his lip

"Its not that I expect perfection, I expect bare minimum, I expect that your son be cared for. what I expect is that he be loved and by the way he reacted to me and tonowari? I doubt he has had that."

"what are you accusing us of?" Neytiri bites

"he believed being loved was asking for too much, he felt like being offered a bed to sleep in or food he could actually eat, was too much. when he collapsed from hunger while aiding my son in the clean up, he thought being given aid and support was taking too much attention. He flinches from me and my mate's touch, he dismisses any sort of attention, he tried to deny medical care. He is in pain, he is scared, and yet he is more worried about pulling attention off of himself than letting us take care of him. why is a child so self sacrificial? why is he so scared of being loved, of being given attention? why does he feel so undeserving?" her voice was trembling as anger was turning to tears.

at that point both mother's would be falling into their husbands, ronal exhausted, neytiri in shock. tonowari clenching his jaw in attempts to keep his own eyes from water, and jake with his mouth agape, jaw on the floor after hearing of his "son's" condition.

"you will go back to your children, you will love them as you have loved them their whole lives, and you will leave spider in our care, and you will stop questioning me. spider is deserves more then this, more then what he has been given." her voice quiet.

"we understand that your feelings on the boy are complicated and in a way justified after all you've been through; the skypeople, the rda, the people he came from, hurt you so horribly; you put that blame on him because you were hurting. But do not think we will allow this to continue because you selfishly want to hold onto him." tonowari finally speaks, his own voice is just as choked as his wife's.

neytiri looks up at jake, nods, before turning away and back to their hut, something heavy and undefinable written all over her face and body. jake stays back, his whole body starting to tense and shake.

"we never meant to... he was just, I-"

"we know, so do the right thing, and give him up" ronal cuts him off, she doesn't sound like she agrees with her words, but she bites her tongue.

"yeah, right, just... just treat him right, I know you will, but..." the words die on his tongue, and slowly, he turns to leave, knowing that this was the night he lost a second son.

Do you have any HC Ronal just mothering spider

I love the idea of ronal seeing this boy who just wants to fit in, want to never stop learning, who strives to be the best he can, and feeding into that as a love language, and also helping him feel like he doesn't have to be like that to be deserving of love and family. aka, most of these are about her becoming almost like a mentor in a way, like a parent mentors their children, but making teaching very personal.

she takes spider out on her Ilu everyday, showing him something new, something important to her. it's personal to them, a time he gets to be held by his mother, spoken to in a soft but wise way he has always imagine a mother would one day speak to him. its a time she gets to hold her new baby, a baby she wishes she had gotten to bond with more in his life, no matter how logically impossible that wish is.

she may have lost her spirit sister, but she makes bringing him to see the tulkun a priority. sign lessons too, working it into everyday life just so he can become fluent. connecting him to his siblings is important to her.

she makes sure he feels included during family meals, sleep piles, going to the family bathing pool, etc. she makes sure he doesn't feel like he's just tagging along, but that he is meant to be there.

she worries about him physically; she knows his human body was never meant for this world, nor half of his normal activities. she pays special attention to his hands and feet, how scarred and calloused they are. she clicks her teeth at his thin frame (even if he's lean with muscle, he's still just so tiny to her, she worries) and the shiny skin on his nose, cheeks, and shoulders (sun damage). she makes a ritual of applying balms and ointmants, treating his hands and feet with oils, feeding him filling meals each and every night.

ronal makes sure to use terms of familial possession and terms of enderment for him. she doesn't use his name often, she typical calls him "yawne" (beloved), "maitan" (my son), or "yawntutsyìp" (darling/little loved one) [keep in mind, these came from the learnnavi site, and I don't know if these are accurate to the metkyina people or their dialect]

nags and disciplines him like any other mother would nag and discipline their children, the boy craves structure, normalcy, motherly love (even in the form of tough love).

I personally hc that ronal isn't the touchiest person, in terms of like hugs and like full body touch, but she's a hand on the shoulder type mom. she's always touching her kids in her own way. she's always has a hand on him, on his back/shoulder, in his hair, holding his arm. he always knows she's there.

speaking of hair, she definitely helps manage that (I think after neteyam he hacks it all of during his mourning period). she makes sure it doesn't dry out and tangle from the salt water, styles it in the traditional metkyina way (with a little help/education from mac and norm, his hair is style more appropriately for his hairtype, cause man have they been waiting for a chance to do that).

she knows that he wants to help, to be of use, but he can't be a hunter due to his body; so she teaches him how to cook and craft, to use the land (cause he has to relearn a lot of stuff in this new territory). she finds he really likes making jewelry and helping cook (both are very communal activities, its done in tight groups, he likes that). she definitely sticks back with him, spending more time doing that over hunting unlike before.

she has multiple beads on her song chord for him; when she first adopted him, the first time he met the tulkun, the first time he called her mom, etc.

#might do a part 2 eventually #cause I can't think of anymore at the moment #but I can feel my brain forming more #anyway #she's such a good mom #she just wants him to feel loved and happy #spider socorro #miles spider socorro #miles socorro #avatar spider #spider avatar #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #avatar #avatar 2009 #ronal #tonowari #spider tonowari'itan #hi'i'tsyil te fkew'weopx tonowari'itan

the little warrior (spider fic)

What if spider sacrificed himself for jake? what if his family was forced to watch him die? what would spider see in his afterlife?

based off of this post

mother/father is ronal and tonowari, mom/dad is zdog and quaritch. It just feels right in my soul. I didn't beta this, I tried, got bored, and y'all are gonna just have to be ok with that. more notes at the end.

The shock of spider taking a bullet for jake was enough to stop the entire battlefield in its tracks. Think hector and patrolcus; the RDA had messed with spider a few times before and each time they learned only one thing came form messing with spider, and that was carnage. Spider was the heart and soul of the little platoon, he held it all together, bringing once enemies into one family. They knew that touching a hair on his head would get them all killed, but killing him? They knew to start saying their prayers. The intent was to kill jake, collapse the unit; whether it happened then and there or shortly after the fact, it hadn’t mattered to them. But now there was little hope any of them would make it out of there alive.

The first to react was Ao’nung, his instinct to protect his baby brother cutting through the shock and hazy disbelief. He has to push past jake to get to his brother before he hits the ground, screaming, curses and prayers alike, all the while. He knows spider knew what he was doing, saw his face ease as he saw jake turn around unscathed, he hated it, hated how selfless his brother was, wanted to scream at him for being so stupid (he never dropped his grudge with jake, it had been months since spider became his brother, but he would never forget what led up to it). But as the fear and adrenaline catch up with spider, his face freezing up as he registered the pain, he can't help but pull him closer and slowly to the ground, trying to ignore the sharp smell of blood, his brother's blood. It’s ok, it’s ok, mama will fix it, I promise she’ll make it better. He frantically hummed an answer, clinging to him as pain blossomed in his chest like a crude burn.

Their parents and sister are quick to follow - a war-seasoned chief, a tsahik, and a healer in training - all 3 trying to stay calm for their son and brother, but its hard when the light and life is so quickly draining from his face.

he tries to talk to them but between the pain and the blood pooling in his lungs, he can't get anything out. he seeks his mother's hand and his father's touch, but he can't ask for it and his strength is waning so he can't reach for it either. All he can do is listen to his mother's cries, and focus on his sister's hands on his legs or his father's big hands on his chest. he knows his brother's holding his head up, he tries desperately to keep his eyes open, to follow his coaxing, even if he would much rather settle into the warmth of his hands and let sleep take him. But he knows it would upset him if he went without a fight, that it would break his parents hearts.

His mother is be praying desperately, unable to pull herself way from her child, but her mind too clouded with grief to do much else. Same with his sister though she was attempting to apply what her mother had taught her. His father and brother could only focus on the blood, all the blood, pouring from his chest and his mouth and nose; that and the tears they couldn't wipe because of the mask he so desperately needed. He felt his father trying to keep pressure on the wound but the bleeding went deeper then he could have any effect on, and ao'nung was trying to keep spider airway open so he didn't drown on the blood pooling in his mouth. It hurt. He wanted it to end.

spider can see from just behind his mother, jake and neytiri in each others embrace watching with distant eye as he suffers the same fate as neteyam. it made him feel sorta guilty, but if jake was alive, the battle would live on, and his family had a chance at peace.

more faces, voices rather, join the scene. he hears his dad, hears reyzi screaming, but she doesn't grow closer. quaritch was struggling to hold her back, begging through his own tears for her to calm, that she could see him, she just needed to be calm for her brother. ravi and ro'eyk are standing next to their adoptive dad, ravi leaning into his arm, seemingly numb, though his anger is boiling him alive, and he's one wrong move away from ripping his skin off and using it to strangle his brothers killer to death. ro'eyk is similar to his brother, the craze in his eyes multiplying by the second as he is forced to watch his baby brother bleed out.

its quaritch who approaches his greiving family first, tapping tonowari's shoulder, their eyes meeting.

he's too far gone - both of their respective glances say, though neither can voice it. "there's no exit wound, the bleeding is in his lungs," tonowari says quietly, trying to avoid the children's ears "the bleeding is slow, but the damage is done. it won't be quick, but he won't make it back to camp either…"

quaritch nods, he couldn’t think about how much time his boy had left, or more so, how little. he kneels next to his son, the siblings gathering at his sides. Reyzi takes her brother’s hand, trying to smile when he weakly squeezes back; Ravi nudges against ao’nung, the two had grown close, helping the other boy shift their brother to lay between them; ro’eyk clings close to his dad, one hand holding onto him, the other on spiders leg.

The sounds are so intense, people speaking, crying, praying, begging. everyone’s moving around him, people are moving him, someones putting pressure on the wound and it hurts like hell.

his eyes float around; first to his dad, he’s crying, fingers fiddling with the braid behind his ear, miles had put in himself, the beads he carved by hands, spider never took it out. then to his brother’s, seeing his 2 big brothers embracing eachother, ao’nung hiding his face into the crook of ravi’s neck, both boys desperately trying to stay strong, ro’eyk eyes were analyzing him, trying to find a solution, because he was never one to back down. Then it was his mother and father that he looked to, the pain in his mothers eyes as she prayed to Eywa, as she held onto his body as if to hold him there; he’d never seen his father so distraught, like all his strength and was gone, his face no longer holding a sense of calm, there was only pain and anger now. His sisters both held a sense of rage, one he was very familiar with, reyzi wasn’t afriad to turn her anger on the world, but tsireya? He can’t think of a time he’s ever seen her truly angry, let alone filled with wrath, and he feels sorry that his death will introduce to such a horrible feeling. he tries to focus on jake and neytiri, but end up falling on the sully kids, more tears forming in his eyes; he was leaving them again, he was leaving lo’ak alone, kiri without her person, tuk with one less big brother, again. his breaths come fast and he starts to shake as sobs force their way out of his broken body realizes they’re all here, they’re all going to watch him die.

he's scared, he feels so alone, despite being surrounded by people, because his vision is going and he can barely feel or hear a thing. he just wants to be held, he doesn't care about the wound anymore, he just wants someone to make the cold and pain go away.

he must have made some sort of noise, a sign of discomfort because the aching stopped; whoever had been putting pressure on the wound let up a little, then his dad is talking to him, leaning over him to speak into his ear, I love you, he says gently, trying to hide the shake in his voice, I love you so much, and spider wants to say it back, he wants to cling to his dad and beg him to make it stop, but he can only stare up at him, weakly nod his head, let the tears fall down his cheeks. He hates this, he hates it so much.

He closes his eyes for just a second, trying to ease the tired ache in them, but then he hears his mother shriek, feels her hands on his face, my son, she cries over and over again, great mother please, please do not take him. He feels his gut churn as he remembers what neytiri had said the day she lost neteyam. He watches his father try to comfort her, but he knows it would be no use, nothing quells the pain of a mother’s grief.

He tries to speak again, but chokes, and his chest burns with something awful, he feels his brothers tense beneath him, sobs coming from the younger of the two. He wants to tell her that its ok, to bring her comfort like she has for him the last few months, anything to bring her any amount of ease. Shhh, my child, it’s ok, don’t speak, his father comforts, not even attempting to hide his pain, only focusing on easing his child. Spider tries to not be angry, tries not to scream at the situation; he’s dying and he can’t even say goodbye to his family, can’t talk to them, his body won’t let him, they won’t let him try, it’s not fair.

There’s movement at his side, his dad is leaving, he doesn’t want him to go. His eyes track him as he scoots behind his brothers, both like his sons in one way or another, wrapping an arm around both of them, ro’eyk joining there little group hug. Reyzi stays where she is, holding his hand, and the gap left by his dad and brother is filled by his mom, 2 of the strongest woman he has ever known embracing eachother like life lines. He’s really happy to see her, he just wishes she wasn’t crying.

She doesn’t hesitate from kissing the top of his head, pressing her forehead against the mask, the gap between their faces made by the glass lets him see the anguish on her face. How’s my strong boy doing, she says, trying to smile, lighten the mood, despite the pain it causes her. He’d say he’s right as rain, just like she did, but he knew he couldn’t, didn’t think it was worth trying. So he did his best to push into her, to make his need for her comfort known, pulling a sob from his lips as he strained to be closer. She peppered any skin she could get to with kisses, knowing she couldn’t hug him or hold him as she wanted, not without hurting him even more. I’m so sorry, my little soldier, I’m so so sorry, she says to him, as she tries to figure ouu where to put her hands, settling them against the sides of his face. He doesn’t want her to be sorry, his choice is what got him here, her being there wouldn’t have stopped him.

He hears ikran, assumes the other recoms had spotted the vigil from the skies. He’s pretty sure he heard his mom say something about them letting her go to her boy while they handled the remaining RDA soldiers who hadn’t given up. He saw all of them, all their ikran too, that was good, that meant his family was ok, all of them, that was good.

Mansk and lyle had gotten close to the sully kids, lo’ak in particular, as kiri was more often too busy her own world to pay them any mind, and neytiri kept tuk close to her, so spider wasn’t surprised when he saw his brother break from jakes hold, running into mansk’s side, accepting lyles arm to hold onto as well. Kiri followed, now that she knew she could in fact wander from her parents grasp without getting pulled back, though she went to zdog instead of following her brother, sitting opposite to reyzi. Hey monkey boy, he wished she said it like she aways did, not in the sad defeated voice that she had. though one thing was the same as always, she had her hand over his heart; she said he was na’vi in his heart, that his body didn’t matter, that to eywa, he would be her child just as much as she and their siblings and the rest of their family were.

The thought brought him comfort, that he would be with eywa soon, with the people his family had lost over the years. He didn’t want to trade out one for the other, and he definitely didn’t want to think about his family joining him, but there was some amount of peace easing his heart to calm, his breath to come a little slower. Part of him knew that shock was taking hold of him, but chose to let it happen rather then fight it, the calm eased his pain, the lack fo fear let his muscles relax.

He could tell people were shifting again, which meant more goodbyes, more words he couldn’t understand, more tears. He thinks its jake at his side now, neytiri behind him, tuk somewhere in the mix (he can hear her voice, though he can’t see her). I’m so sorry kid, shouldn’t have been you, you should have let it happen… none of this should have happened… I’m sorry I didn’t apologize sooner. Hearing jake apologize was weird, he never expected one, part of him wanted to keep thinking he didn’t deserve one, cause it was easier to forget what his life used to be like, then to dwell on it. Then tuk was hugging his neck before he could even form a reaction to what jake had said, forcing him to change his chain of thought to her; she shouldn’t be here, not on a battlefield, not watching another brother die, he wanted to push her off, tell her to run and keeping running till she was free of the smoke and rubble. I don’t want yout to go, you already left once, why are you leaving again? She asks, and he has no answer. Why was she still here?

Someone pulled her away and lo’ak took her place, he looked conflicted, and spider knew why; he didn’t want to regret his last words. Lo’ak was haunted by what he said to neteyam, he didn’t want to suffer that again. I see you, all of you, spider. You will always be my brother, always have been, and no matter what, there was never a moment I didn’t love you, even when I was angry and even if I didn’t act like it, I always love you Spi. even if it was hard, he hung onto every word, he could do that for his brother, after everything, he could do him the decency. He tried to quirk his lips up into a smile, hoping lo’ak would find comfort in it, but lo’ak only started to cry harder, hovering over him, why did you do that, you skawng, though he was probably attempting to scold him, there was no anger in his voice.

Eventually his brother pulled away, squeezing his shoulder before he rejoined the recoms who were both silently mourning and keep watch over the vigil. they didn’t do goodbyes, so he wasn’t surprised or even disappointed, he almost liked it better this way. He knew they mourned him, knew they would die to avenge him, he didn’t need them to go out of there way to do something that would only bring him more pain. He doesn’t even think he would be able to understand them had they tried.

His last few moments are hazy, his pulse in his ears, and the tears in his eyes so thick he can just barely make out the beginning of eclipse. He knew he was in his father’s arms, he wasn’t talking, not words at least, spider almost thinks he might be humming; it's a song sung to mighty warriors when they fall, as a way to tell them they can rest, that war is over. He knows his mother is next to her mate, sleep now, my little miracle, she's crying, he can barely tell what she's saying, you were the greatest gift I could ever be given, thank you, for being my son, for every moment we shared. his eyes burned, she was thankful for him, when he should be thankful for her, it wasn't right. he was slipping, thinking about his mama took his away from his focus on staying awake, and suddenly his dad was talking, I'll take care of her spi, don't worry, you go on now, everything will be alright here, his dad comforts, knowing spider is more worried about her than himself. his dad was across from his mother, the both of them holding his hands, their own hands over lapping. He knows zdog is next to him, whispering I love you, over and over again.

his brother’s were at his head, he could feel someone tucked into his neck, another pressing their head against his, I love you, I love you so much my brother, don't- (you have have to let him go) I… I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you so much, ao'nung he thinks, then Ravi, then ao'nung again. Ravi was taking care of the younger boy. good, he thinks, his brothers won't be alone. His sisters are gathered at his feet, collapsing in on one another; reyzi’s stiff upright posture and cold, thousand yard stare sticking out eerily amongst his hazy recollection. Kiri looked… peaceful wasn't the right word, she looked like she accepted it, she had tsireya and tuk pulled into her sides, Reyzi was behind her, accepting no comfort; he was sure that if he could get his eyes to focus he would see her wringing her hands, pulling her fingers until they hurt. he wished she would be able to move on, he knew it wasn't possible, it wouldn't be possible for her or her brother's, no matter how well they were holding themselves in the moment. Lo'ak was pacing the stretch of land that acted as an opening to the aclove, he was cursing, punching at the rubble, he didn't deserve this, not again.

he saw the recoms standing gaurd as well, someone was trying to keep Lo'ak from the rubble, earning a sharp jab to the ribs, which was redirected into in awkward hug of sorts, but he couldn't tell who it was anymore.

he couldn't tell who anyone was, his vision had faded to much. he whimpered, felt the burn in his chest as a result. he felt like he was sinking away, like when you have the bad dream of falling into the abyss. he was scared, he was so scared, he didn't want to die. he tried to grip onto something, but he's not even sure he was moving, but he felt his bubble get tighter, he tired to remember be wasn't alone.

the last thing he remembered was a choked cry, probably his mother, and then nothing.

then Neytiri, smiling at him sadly amidst of bright white. no, no it wasn't Neytiri… it was Neteyam, his big-little brother - spider was technically older him, by a little over a year, but aged slower, hense earning him the title of little- big brother and Neteyam the opposite - standing a few feet away from him.

"I didn't expect to see you so soon." Neteyam talks in a way that is much older and much wiser then his age lets on, more so then he did in life. he keeps his smile, but his voice and eyes let on his sadness.

"neither did I," spider makes no attempts to move or interact more than he needs to, not until he knows this ain't a trick of his dying mind

"why did you do it, you could have let dad take the hit, he had a better at surviving it,"

"I wasn't letting another person get shot in front of me."

"It wasn’t your fault brother,” neteyam stepped forward, placing a hand on spiders cheek, wiping a tear he didn’t know was there.

“Am I really dead?” he asks, wanting to accept that this was really the end, he needed this to be the end, because he couldn’t stay standing much longer.

“Yes… I’m sor-” Neteyam tensed at the question,

“No, no thats… that’s good, was just worried… worried I wasn’t gone yet and that my mind would start playing tricks on me.” he closed the gap, leaning into the taller figure, he was tired, he was so tired. “Please, ‘teyam, please tell me this is real.”

He felt himself being pulled down, surrounded in a ligth warmth, almost like a blanket of sand warmed by the light of the sun. he kept his eyes closed, unsure if he wanted to see the space around him, if he wanted to know what would be there. He just clung tight to his big-little brother and prayed The Great Mother showed him mercy.

“Its’s real, I promise you it’s real, open your eyes.”

When he did, because he trusted his brother, he was home, he was on a familiar beach, the beach his father would take him to, it was on the far side of the village, a place only really known by the chief and his family.

“What is this place, spi, it’s the place The Great Mother thinks you should rest, tell me about it.”

“This is where tonowari told me I was his son… it was the family beach in a way… its where me and ao’nung would train and tsireya taught me the stories of our people, where mother taught me to heal. This is my home.” he was too caught up in the relief to think about how neteyam may feel about him considering someone else family.

“You deserved more time with them, they were good to you,” he spoke softly, tracing his finges in the sand, “you were meant to be theirs, but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re brothers. It’s ok spider, I’m happy that you were happy with them, you deserved that.”

“You saw?”

“Everything, had to watch over you and my other skawng brother, ao’nung too, make sure you didn’t get into to much trouble; though it doesn’t seem I kept that from happening… I watched you all, you did good brother.”

His stomach dropped. He knows, he knows what he did, why wasn’t he angry.

“I saved him… why aren’t you angry?”

“Because you were right. You felt the good in him, you saved him, and then let him pick his path. You saved him, all of them, preserved life; thats the way of eywa. By saving him, you brought them all together… and evne if you didn’t, even if he didn’t change, he was your dad spi, he did better then our- my dad… you had every right to want to save him. I can’t judge you for that.”

This felt wrong, something wasn’t right, there was no way this was going to be this easy.

“I… I don’t understand.”

“You will, it takes time.”

“Time?”

“Eywa will show you what you need to know to find peace, sometimes you need to see what happens first. You were bound to kiri for a reason, you were bound to tonowari and ronal for a reaosn, you were bound to the recoms for a reason. She will show you, it just takes time.”

Neteyam was holding him by the shoulders now, pulling him into a hug once more. Spider thinks he was crying. “You don’t understand yet, but I am so proud of you spider.”

That’s when spider cracked, he couldn’t do it anymore, he couldn’t stay strong. He crumbled in his brother’s arms, letting him hol all his pieces together. He falls apart into the sand, as his brother moves away from him.

“I have to go now, so do you,” his brother says distantly, spider only catching a glimpse of him before he disappears.

Before he can even call out for him, he hears another voice, one much more ethereal, layered and consisting of many tones; “you have places to be, my child.”

“What?” he searches the beach for a source, but comes up with nothing. “Who are you?”

“You know who I am,” the voice shifts, sounding almost like his mother

“Mother?”

“The Mother of mothers I suppose,” the voice was closer to what it had been before, though it kept its feminine pitch

“Eywa.” his voice was more a whisper then anything else, unsure of what should have been obvious.

“Yes, my child,” a woman appeared, emerging from the forest that surrounded the beach, she looked like his mother, which made some sense. She could look like anything, different to each person, so of course she would take the form of the woman he loved and trusted the most in his life.

“Where am I going?”

“You ask too many questions, always have,” she smiled, an airiness to her voice, almost like a laugh, “what do our people believe?”

Oh. “Every person is born twice,”

“That’s right little one,” the deity came closer, her ‘hand’ caressing his cheek.

He felt his heart begin to race, how that was possible considering he was dead, he didn’t know and didn’t care. He didn’t want to go, he wanted to stay with his family, with neteyam. He wanted to find the other’s, kiri’s mom, his mother’s spirit sisters, his ancestors; human, omatikaya, and metkayina alike. He’s so tired and just wants to stay here, just for a little.

“Don’t worry my child, you,” she points to his head, his mind, “will stay here, your soul,” she points to his chest, “will be reborn. You will rest, but your fire, courage, and loyalty will be given back to the world. You were born to be a great warrior, it is ingrained in you, and you fight for me and all of pandora with all of yourself and all of your strength. You will be sent back to finish what you began, to the end of the war. You will protect you’re family, and you will have my guidance to do so, that I promise.”

He was confused, unsure of how the whole ‘born twice’ thing worked logistically, but he knew better to argue with a mother, let alone The Mother. So he suppressed his weariness, his longing for his family, and accepting Eywa’s task. Little warrior, gift of Eywa. what were once terms of endearment now had meaning.

“Yes, Great Mother,”

“Your mother taught well, she is a good tsahik, her and your father, even the lost spirits that make up your dad, you call him and your mom,” hearing the Na’vi goddess use english words was so unnerving, and he found himself grinning a little harder then he should, and she grinned back in response, “they prepared you well, very well.”

“They did, I am forever greatful for them”

“Of course you are, you are a grateful child, your heart is larger then most, its what a great warrior, the respect you have for the enemy, even when you feel such immense hatred. It is what lead you to save him, what lead your siblings to him, what turned the tides of this battle. It is what made you protect the Toruk Makto, despite the battle he put you through so young. It is you’re heart that will live on…are you ready?” her words were so motherly, it sounded like a story he would hear from his mother, except it was no story, not yet, it was his life.

“I think,” he was honest with her, he had no idea what was going to happen, and therefore could not honestly tell her if he was afraid or not.

“When your soul is sent back to your family, finding a place to be reborn where it is needed most, you will join your ancestors; you will watch with them, both your living family and your ancestors, you will learn to be a guide as they are and when your soul has returned to you, living its second life, you will be a guide as well. Do you understand my child?” she explained with care.

So that’s what his brother meant, he will see in time, learn what he most learn, be show what he must be shown. He would watch the remainder of his family’s lives, watch the war, watch the effects of his actions play out. He would watch his soul live on, finishing what he began. He would learn from his ancestors, everything he needed to know. Maybe he would learn from his Mother as well, he couldn’t assume this was the last he would be seeing of her. He felt ease wash over him, his Mother embracing him fully now.

“You will be reborn to her, that I promise. Good luck little warrior.”

And with that the figure disappeared, he felt something leave him, more then just Eywa’s presence, and suddenly he was alone, still on the secluded beach. He had a feeling he had a lot to figure out, and that the tulkun calls in the distance were the calls of his first teacher, Roa.

~~~

So a few things. The only people I’m sorry for right now are fictional. chest wounds under the right circumstances can be slow inevitable death sentences; I milked that for every ounce of angst I could (his death took at least 10-15 minutes of agony just for a little perspective for him and his family; they couldn’t do anything so they just had to watch him fade). Finally, the only explanation for why the siblings don’t go hog wild immediately (this explanation is for all of 3 people, you know who you are/pos) is because their civility is directly linked to spider. If they don’t stay calm, there will be no stopping them, and they didn’t want spider to see that; basically, the only way they stopped themselves from going ballistic, was to go numb, practically comatose, which will fuel their anger later.

I kept the dialogue limited to put the reader in spider perspective, he’s so out of it he can really only hear what's being said when he’s putting effort into it. Just because the dialogue isn’t mentioned doesn’t mean its happening, which is my nice way of saying; he’s being talked to the whole time, he just isn’t “hearing” it. This is the same for character focus, he’s only really able to pay attention to the activity around him, so characters are only really mentioned when they are actively interacting with him/are the main point of his focus. angst via writing style is my favorite flavor of angst I toiled with the ending of this for like 3 days, I don't love it love it, but I'm content with it. I have complicated feelings for how the spirit world works in canon (as far as we know) and how I want it to work, so we're just gonna take the mess that I created and enjoy it. also eywa is based on my interpretation of our world's 'true mother' who takes many forms and names in different mythologies; think, fun mom, who's crunchy in the cool fun way. like will drive her kid to the ER at 2 in the morning for running a fever, but will also slather them in essential oils the entire way there. is the cool mom that everyone loves and always wants to hang out with. like I didn't want her to seem overly untouchable, so I made her have a mild sense of humor. so enjoy that

I like to think that Tonowari likes to hold hands with Spider, he knows that Spider craves for physical contact even if he doesn’t admit so. And Ao’nung likes to carry Spider around in bridal style, like he’s showing of to the others his baby brother.

physical affection HC's for Hi'tsyil te Fkew'Weopx Tonowari'itan AU

Tonowari

He's the physically affectionate dad, he always has a hand on spiders shoulder at the very least, though he much more normally holds onto spider hand/arm or keeps a hand on top of his head. the pride and honor he feels with spider as his son is palpable, and it's especially true with how he presents spider in public; spider is his son, a gift of eywa, to be respected just as much as Ao'nung, because even if he doesn't become the next Olo'eyktan, he is still the chiefs son, and training to be his big brothers advisor and hand. he is also the parent spider physically clings to the most, and tonowari will drop everything he has to do in a day just to give spider the comfort of having a place he knows is safe to nap or just rest. when spider splits off to the beach when his head gets a little too loud, tonowari joins him, letting him curl into his side, simply so he can offer his son some comfort. when spider does sleep within his general vicinity, he normally finds himself tracing his features; he knows all his children, his mate, even his spirit sibling, but touch alone. he knows the slope of his nose, he angle of his chin, the round edge of his cheek. he knows his sons lips, all bit up and scarred; his eyes and soft lashes.

Ronal

she isn't as physical as tonowari, but she still keeps constant contact with spider, pulling him to lean against her, or keeping a hand in his hair. she holds him more than anything else, typically having him curled up in her lap, or right off to the side with his head on her leg she too presents him to the village with pride, but she typically stays behind him, almost like a body guard, and even after he wins over the whole village, she remains behind him, or right next to him with her tail favoring his side. most of her physical affection comes in acts of service/quality time, so doing his hair, taking care of his skin (cause his human form was not meant for pandora's water, sun, or physical day to day activities), mending the wounds he gets from day to day life (being in the water all day with skin not meant for that lifestyle results in weaker, softer skin, that does not fair well with his constant climbing), or painting his stripes. she is also a hands on teacher, and when she teaches spider new crafting methods, she typically sits right behind him to guide his hands (this leads to many instances of spider looking up his mama all proud and looking for acknowledgment and ronal just beaming at her child), and when they sit and craft together, she normally has their knees touching, or something of that sort.

Tsireya

tsireya is like her mother in a lot of ways, including how she shows physical affection. though she is more playful, like we see briefly see between her and ao'nung, she is mostly reserved. she is definitely his emotional support, so when she does show him physical affection its normally when she's acting as his rock; grounding him, trying to ease a racing mind, typically with him tucked in her side and her tail wrapped around him. like her mother, she typically sits close while the craft together, and their idea of quality time is naps out in the sun.

Ao'nung

he is the proudest big brother you have ever met, always fucking with spider, slapping or pushing him around (jokingly), carrying him around simply because he can, and there are few moments that they aren't trying to beat the shit out of each other. he defininitly does the big brother "arm over the shoulder, but pulling you in way too close to be irritating" and putting him in a choke hold so he can give him noogies, type stuff. and the presenting him to the village thing? it's constant. does he pretend he's mocking spider when he calls him the "miracle child" or any other synonymous nickname? absolutely, but only he can do that, and everyone else knows that he means it with the utmost love and respect. they also know that if they tried it he would actually murder them, he would feed them to an akula before the words leave their mouth. he is the most classic big brother ever and spider thrives under it, cause he finally has someone that protects him, that will stand in front of him when there's a threat, that will get on his level and comfort him, that will make him laugh, that will make him feel like he belongs. in my (sick, twisted, angst addicted) mind, they are a parallel to neteyam and lo'ak, do with that what you will

What is Quaritch reaction when he finds out the Sully's aka Jake and Neytiri both neglected and emotionally abused spider and how under their care almost die because they didn't notice until it was almost to late I feel his hate for Jake would increase because he expects this from Neytiri but not from Jake who suppose to be morally better than him ( like how is a clone of a colonizer a better father to the kid you knew for 16 years)

And also about the scientist since they didn't help ( looking at you norm and max (

Also I feel deep down Quaritch would appreciate tonowari because he knows he isn't father material and even though Ronal scares the hell out of him he appreciates her too because he understands spider needs a mother

anger doesn't begin to describe how he felt about jake, and anger wasn't the only thing he felt, he was sad, he was gutted, he couldn't even put a name on some of the things he was feeling. he was devastated by the very thought of how spider felt growing up. sure he may not have been a good dad, but he wouldn't have let spider suffer like that, not in this na'vi life; in all honesty he wholeheartedly believes that dying was the best thing he ever did for that kid. so now he's dealing with this massive uptick in paternal drive (I think family is so important to the na'vi, that its ingrained in their biological psychology. so Quaritch being na'vi now, has to deal with all those new feelings) has to process the fact that his enemy, his 'moral superior' has mistreated his boy to the point he almost lost him. add on the fact it wasn't even the sully's (at least within in my au) that noticed how sick spider was, nor were the ones to take care of him while he recovered (cause that was mostly ao'nung).

he has some sympathy for neytiri, its clear she never wanted spider, that he was supposed to be jakes responsibility, that if he was her son, it never would have happened. he can't blame her for not being able to care for a human boy, his spawn, he could never expect that of her, or any na'vi for that matter. but he draws the line at straight-up neglect and abuse of his son, at letting him get so sick he almost died, after that, it's pretty fucking personal.

he's pissed at all the 'superior' scientists that got to stay, because if they're so much better then everyone they sent back, why couldn't they take care of his child. why did they subject him to such a life.

the one thing he has to be grateful for is tonowari and his family. he respects the shit out of them, they took spider in, even after everything, even though he was practically a stranger. they took him in and they loved him, they cared for him. ronal and tonowari were protective and went above and beyond to care for their new son. tsireya and ao'nung, though he didn't know much about them, were good kids that did everything to protect their little brother. they had built the kid up from where he lay broken on the ground and they loved every part of him, his imperfections, his shortcomings, his human nature and lineage. it didn't matter to them, they loved spider and accepted him as theirs, just as he was.

they were the family his boy deserved, and he knows he will never be better for spider, no matter how much he changes, how far he goes to redeem himself, he will never be a better father than someone like tonowari, a stern and strict but helplessly kind man. he knows he could never find spider a better mother than ronal, a woman willing to kill and die for her son while also being soft and supportive of him. knows spider has come to need his siblings, the support and protection they offer, to survive. he knows he could never do better by his son, and that's ok.

#throw in the fact they take him as well #he knows spider has found the family he was destined to be raised by #hi'i'tsyil te fkew'weopx tonowari'itan #spider tonowari'itan #quaritch #ronal #tonowari #ao'nung #tsireya #spider socorro #miles socorro #miles spider socorro #jake sully #neytiri #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water

Something I noticed is how between couples and parents and children they say "My" Ma"my"Jake, Ma"my"Neteyam. They are possessive of each other without being toxic. So I imagine that in order to adopt the "son" of another, even the "parents" being alive, he would have to prove that he is worthy of taking care of that creature. Just as they have to show that they are good hunters, horsemen, etc. to be recognized in the village. So in order for Tonowari to stay with Spider, he would have to fight Jake. Show that he cared for him, and show the village that he would actually be better off with another family, Ronal and Tonowari. Jake's reaction to being challenged to a fight, Neytiri's reaction, the children. And that actually Neyeam is not dead but wounded. And that he being the "older" the one who bears the responsibility of caring for his brothers. To be told that his parents have neglected Spider to the point where he almost died and that he is still weak. it would be a low blow, he must have realized something was wrong. Kiri too, Lo'ak.Tonowari, even if he has affection and respect for Jake, would not be soft. I would win.

"I am not doing this to hurt you, jakesully, I am doing this for the good of the child. I do not seek to disgrace you, not even to shame you, I just want to protect a child who has hurt for far to long," is all tonowari can say, because its true, this is for spider and spider only, he cares little about what will happen to jake, that's for Eywa to handle.

jake can't wrap his mind around the situation, he only started seeing spider as his son in the last few weeks and now he's being taken away. tonowari is challenging him to a fight? he knows the way of adoption in na'vi culture, but being on the side that's losing the child? how does one react to that.

when he and the kids demand a reason, it has to be laid out in front of them, with little sugar coating; jake and neytiris neglect have hurt spider more then he ever dared let on, that he almost died trying to please them, and that he will not thrive in their care (tonowari leave's out what he knows about spider almost dying for the sully's time and time again during his time with the RDA, how he was willing to die to protect them, how he feared his own 'mother' cause he's not here to destroy jake).

neteyam who always tried his best to be a good 'third parent' to spider feels like he is partly to blame (much to ronal and tonowari's disgust, no child should ever feel like that), lo'ak being so confused because he can't bring himself to see his dad as someone capable of hurting their brother like that (like he was hurt), kiri angry because jake and neytiri hurt her brother, her person. little tuk tuk being to young for any of this to truly understand any of it. neytiri going numb, she's hurt and insulted but painfully guilty, both for what she did and for her relief in that moment.

tonowari would show little mercy in his fight against jake, obviously not trying to hurt him, but he's angry, he's so angry. he's spent the better part of a week nursing a scared little boy back to health, a boy who is terrified of any sort of attention or care.

to adopt a child the family 'leader' has to be symbolically killed (not canon, but that seems to be the fandom consensus as far as I know), that would be jake, and tonowari would beg him to go without a fight, to just let go of spider, for his sake, and to jakes credit, he does (he fights a little, cause he's jake, but all considering he went quick). after that tonowari helps him up, thanks him for letting go of spider, and then goes about his way in the village.

is it becuase he can't stand to look at jake for another second cause he may actually hurt him in front of everyone, yes, yes it is, but he silent treatment is equally unnerving.

after that spider goes through the rest of the adoption process, a set of different ceremonies (also not canon, now I'm just pulling stuff out my ass, cause I can); first a symbol of his first family is destroyed, in spiders case his hair is cut. second he is washed and cleansed by his family in the eyes of Eywa. third he is given a new name in front of the whole village. and finally, he receives a symbol of his new family, in this case, a piece of jewelry (to symbolize surviving all he had, and the strength he had to do so), hair beads (to match his family), and a spear (carved from tonowari's hands alone and blessed by ronal). when he's of age (culture wise) he would also receive the family tattoo, to forever mark him as theirs.

all the while the sully's have to watch from a distance as spider becomes hi'i'tsyil, and they lose what little of him was their son, brother, and friend.

Omg how did Ronal and Tonowari react when Spider called them mom and dad for the first time in your au??

he says it to Ronal on accident, she had been nagging him about putting ointment on his shoulders and nose to protect him from the sun, holding him back form running off with his siblings like any mother would. he doesn't even think about just "uhhhh mom"'s her, and they both just kinda pause. they both pause, spider looking for any sign that he should start backpedaling, but Ronal just smiles at him, dabbing a little more ointment on his nose. she wants to smother him in love and affection, wants to mother him for all the time she missed with him, but knows she would probably just scare the boy. she resorts to pecking him in the cheek before letting him go off with his siblings, but not before saying "nga yawne lu oer, yawntutsyip. come back after lunch so I can reapply your ointment, ma'itan" (I love you, my darling... my son) and he'd timidly (cause he's never really said it before) respond with "srak sa'nu, nga yawne lu oer niteng" (yes mom [affectionate form], I love you too). the second he's out of earshot though, she's running off to find anyone to celebrate this small (but simultaneously huge) victory.

with Tonowari he says it when their on the skimwing, spider catnapping per usual, and when Tonowari tries to wake him up, he gets a groggy "five more minutes dad". let's just say tonowari pulls the Na'vi equivalent of driving around in circles for an hour to keep your kid asleep. he keeps spider balled up in his lap, hand in his hair, and just enjoys qaulity time with his son.

tonowari handles it much better then Ronal, who almost flips out (positive), but he can't hide his smile to save his life.

What would the reactions of tonowari Ronal Quaritch recoms tsyrea and aonung lo'ak Kiri tuk spellmin siblings Jake and Neytiri to spider death like in the battle against the RDA

Spider takes a stray bullet for Jake a fatal shot spider can't speak his lungs got shot he's on his death bed and they all watch him slowly die

Like the angst I feel it would be personal absolutely personal all out war against the RDA not a single one of them is going to be left alive meanwhile ewya gives rebirth to spider

Like Ronal gets pregnant miraculously or Neytiri ( eywa giving her a second chance) or zdog or he's reborn into a Navi clan ( ash people)

there is going to be a part 2, more of a fic type thing, it'll be out in a few hours if my adhd agrees.

~~~

The anguish that would be felt by ronal and tonowari would be excruciating; they had just received this child, just begun to love him (they had loved him from the moment they decided to make him theirs, but that wasn't long enough for them, no amount of time would ever be enough), just began to bring spider out of his shell (they thought they knew the boy when they first adopted him, but the more and more they cared for him, the more he showed, and the more he changed. they would never truly know him now). he was theirs, had wormed his way into their hearts, Eywa's will bound them, the short time they had together was perfect, like it was always meant to be like that, spider as their child. how where they supposed to heal from losing a child willed to them yet kept away for so many years? how were they supposed to move on when they only had him for such a short time, if it was meant to be? it wasn't fear. the rage they feel would be unstoppable, it's feral and illogical and hellbent on making the demons pay for what they did, for taking their son. they have nothing to hold them back because even their other children are the same; even tsireya who barely picked up a spear even for her coming-of-age ceremonies was ready to fight the humans to avenge her brother. ao'nung was even more violent, had he not been held back by what remained of his parent's and sister's logic, would have charged the RDA by himself the second spider stopped moving.

I think lo'ak would go numb with anger, glowing with the ferocity of a hot ember, just waiting to be sparked up once again into an inferno; he lost 2 brothers to the same fucking people, he would ruin them in ways that would make them regret being born. tuk would be heartbroken, as she had been too young to understand why spider left, his death would hurt twice as much; she lost him twice, and both times no one was willing to explain it to her. Kiri is heartbroken because spider was her person, both gifts from eywa, they understood each other in a way no one else did, so to lose him felt like she was losing part of herself. the rage of the 2 eldest siblings paired with the protectiveness of their youngest and remaining sibling (because they both consider themselves so empty, they no longer exist) would be palpable.

jake and neytiri feel so wrong and gutted by his death; they never loved him, not like they should have. they never mended the broken bond after he was taken in as Hi'i'tsyil, never even apologized for the pain they caused him, and still, spider took a bullet to protect their family, to protect the father that never truly loved him. its like an irreversible weight is placed on their shoulders, never to be removed, like a debt that can never be repaid.

for the recoms it's like losing their baby. for quaritch and zdog, even lyle, it is like truly losing their baby, and a rage that was long tamed and bridled by the kids is unleashed, they thought they escaped the RDA, they thought they wouldn't lose anything else to that evil fucking company, and they were wrong; they would make them pay for it. the other recoms are crushed, spider was their baby, he was family, it was him who set the course for their freedom.

and the spellman siblings are robbed vacant, spider had been their purpose, the reason they kept going for almost 2 decades, and he was gone in then blink of an eye. what wasn't taken from them when spider stopped breathing, they took from themselves; they blamed themselves, they had promised to always keep spider safe, they ran through scenario after scenario as to always be prepared, and they still failed. ravi would crack, like genuine psycosis mixed with such immense grief, it'd be like a mindless soldier. Reyzi's anger would no longer be contained, she'd go fucking feral. Ro'eyk cranks up the violence from crazed scientist to an actual maniac.

they all agree they've lost too much, it's all or nothing following spider's death, cause he had become the heart of the little platoon, uniting previously opposing groups into one strong army. his death would be the catalyst for a suicide mission.

~~~

if spider were to be reborn it'd be a thing that ronal would feel the moment it happens. if he was born to her, neytiri, or even zdog, she probably would have sensed that it was spider's spirit being born again by the time of the birth, and it would probably be the one thing keeping the whole family from devolving; even if spider was no longer spider, they would cherish him, take care of him, make sure he never knows the life he had the first time.

if he was born to another clan, ronal would trust they would be brought to them again if it was meant to be, but it wouldn't stop them all for searching for him. its a time of war, the clans coming together to fight the demons invading their soil, and each time they travel, each time they meet someone new, they look for their son, their brother, their baby, wherever they go.
