Keep scrolling if you blame Spider
Spider, who is literally still a child by human standards.
Spider, who never gave away Jake's or the Omatikaya's location.
Spider, who cares about the Sullys' safety over his own.
Spider, who didn't want any blood on his hands or a guilty conscience if he left someone to die.
Spider, who just didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
Spider, who never betrayed the Na'vi (unlike Jake but hey, who's counting that, right?)
Spider, who had to fend for himself to survive the toughest events because he didn't have an adult who would tear the world apart for him like the Sully children do.
Spider, who loves Pandora and Eywa.
Spider, who just wanted to be one of Her children because he never knew what it was like for a mother to love him.
Spider, who probably understands Eywa's whole "balance of life" meaning more than others.
Spider, who already lost Neteyam but he couldn't afford to lose anyone else in his life, no matter how terrible they are as a person.
Spider, who helped Jake save Kiri and Tuk when everyone else was still too shocked to move.
Spider, who chose mercy over violence/death.
Spider, who did what he could to survive (I'd like to see how YOU would react under such pressure. It all seems obvious and easy watching from the other side of the screen, right?)
Spider, who was likely being misled, brainwashed, and gaslit by the Recoms.
Spider, who is clearly a victim but hey, let's blame him for simply being a decent human being, right?
Spider, who likely thought he owed Quaritch after he saved him from being tortured.
Spider, who likely thought he owed Quaritch for giving him life.
Spider, who just wanted a father who was proud of him.
Spider, who has been clearly neglected by the heroes (Jake and Neytiri) but doesn't openly or verbally blame them.
Spider, who doesn't purposely threaten children's lives like Quaritch and Neytiri do.
Spider, who just wanted to be one of the People.
Spider, who wouldn't have made those difficult choices had he been properly loved and raised.
Spider, who is as easy to blame as Lo'ak for endangering the people they love (but again, no one's counting, right?)
Spider, who is clearly not a villain, just misunderstood.
Spider, who wasn't raised by the village but didn't burn it down to feel its warmth because he's not petty, not vindictive, not evil, and not a killer.
Spider, who is. A. Child.

Xichen deserves crows feet.
He deserves to smile with teeth and get those eye crusties you sometimes get from sleeping and cry and sleep in and make a privately goofy noise of surprise when his toe catches on a step and he almost faceplants and saves himself at the last minute.
He deserves to be human.

TEHMs will rightfully talk about radfem homophobia…but then be misogynistic about it? Do they not realise they’re doing the exact same thing they have an issue with? It’s absolutely true that radfems can talk about misogyny from gay men without being homophobic, which means it’s also true that gay men can talk about homophobia from women without being misogynistic.

sorry my final girls are on my mind because it's the trope of all time. it's being a victim of a fate you do not deserve, that you have done nothing to deserve, that by simply being you you are someone that the world wants to suffer, it wants to see you die. it wants to take everything from you because it knows it can. you will be tortured, you will lose so, so much, and you will persist. because you have to. it's becoming someone corrupted, the hero of the story but never making it out unscathed. it's carrying scars, it's carrying the trauma, it's looking at the worst darkness and knowing it has looked back. it's carrying it with you, feeling it cling to you and refusing to let you go. To be transformed by forces you can not control. To lose yourself to save yourself. It is embodying parts of the monster you want to kill. It's knowing that you will always be connected, no matter how far you run. You do not end a story the way you started.
And you will ever be the same again.

Don't let me catch you being a toxic hater throwing a tantrum because you don't get your way, because I promise I can and will be a hater ten times worse than you but I'll actively have things to back it up with and you'll just look dumb af.

Look, the death threat jokes are bad and shouldn’t be normalized on this website but you’re also responding to people accusing them of being Kanye stans (when he’s a widely disliked anyisemite) and saying “look how much more money she makes than you” and also making it about shootings in america somehow? It doesn’t make you look like a normal rational person who thinks that behavior is bad, even if that’s your intention, it makes you look like an unhinged Taylor Swift stan .
K hold on when did I get the shootings into this conversation? That has absolutely nothing to do with the Taylor Swift thing, I just think that's something so intrinsically American and that alone is enough to get it disqualified from the best country in the world race. And the "she makes more money than you" lol bro is that a lie? I don't know who makes more money than her rn but they definitely wouldn't be trolling on some Tumblr comment section. I'm trying to find the comment where I accuse someone of being a Kanye stan but I only mentioned him as an example (amongst other names) of people whose pockets her money also wasn't going to end up in beside mine and the guy I was answering to. Other than that, I mostly answered to people who made "we should kill her" type of comments. Initially, at least. But I might be wrong.
Edit: Okay I fact checked and I did say something about "your gun loving country" but to be honest.. we don't get news about no shooting rampages coming from any other place in the world. Like you guys have at least one mass shooting incident once every two weeks. Sorry if I overstepped. But really, I wouldn't be this troubled about some death threats if that wasn't the case, and if you didn't have this much accessibility to setting up opportunities to make good on those threats. It's just scary man idk what to tell you. If the threats came from Norway I wouldn't be phased at all.

[ID: drawings of a golem animated by a palestinian flag painted on its forehead. it is seen: holding out its arms protectively in front of a crowd of children, the children also hold each other supportively; catching an air strike missile from the air and throwing it away or crushing it in its fist; turning its back so that a child can warm her hands by the earth oven built into its back, food in a pot is cooking on the fire and a boy holds a cup of steaming tea to his face and enjoys the aroma; clearing away rubble so a man can help up his wife who was buried underneath, she is clutching a baby to her chest; stooping down to look at a kitten a young boy is holding up to show it; and dissolving small flakes of clay from its finger into a glass of water, purifying it. end ID]
@fairuzfan asked people to create and share art for the strike. i wrote an artist statement and then set about trying to draw what i envisioned. artist statement below.
This golem is a protector that I wish I could gift to the children and adults in Gaza. The flag on its forehead is to show that love for the Palestinian people is an animating force for people fighting for a free Palestine all over the world, especially for those in Palestine who are trying to free themselves and their people. Love is the motivation for the call for a free Palestine, not hatred like people try to claim. It is very strong and fast and can catch air strikes out of midair and crush them to dust or throw them back in the direction they came from. It can lift all the rubble of a collapsed building very quickly so nobody can get trapped underneath. It has an earth oven in its back with an ever-burning flame that people can use to warm themselves and cook food and heat water to use to bathe themselves or make tea. Pieces of its clay can be crumbled up and mixed into water to make even the most brackish and unclean water pure and safe to drink.
The golem is always a bit of a tragic figure so I don't imagine it staying around forever once Palestine is free and it is no longer needed. I think it would use its great strength to help rebuild the destroyed houses, churches, schools, universities, hospitals, and mosques and then dive into the Jordan river and dissolve. It would clean the river of all pollution and make the water splash up over all the newly replanted fruit trees, causing them to grow big and strong. Its love for Palestine and its people can be tasted in the fruit they grow for generations.
I choose a specifically Jewish icon of protection because of how it feels to witness such horrors done in the supposed name of Judaism and the Jewish people. For many anti-zionist Jews, we feel like we are acting directly within the teachings of our stories and communities by opposing this genocide. It is difficult to understand how the very people and institutions who taught us these values now fight against them so fiercely. While obviously I would still oppose Israel were I not Jewish, the way I oppose Israel is directly informed by my Jewishness. I hope that someday, somehow, Judaism can bring as much joy and support to the Palestinian people as it has brought grief and destruction. That Jewish symbols used in the name of love and justice will bear more significance than the ones used in shows of hatred. Knowing the depth of the harm caused, I do not know if this is possible. But this artwork and everything I have dedicated myself to these past few months and continue to dedicate myself to in the future is born from this hope. I love you. Thank you for being on this planet with me. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free! And it will be beautiful.
