Squiggles' Cousin Plays The LU Name Game

So, my cousin. Y'all may know her as the person I referenced in an ask game once as the only person who knows I'm on Tumblr. I am exactly 31 days older than her and we have been inseparable for life, but she knows nothing about LU. She knows that I like "that one comic called something about Zelda" (rip she was not paying attention) but that is it. She hasn't played any games or seen anything about LU. Just know she can be a lil inappropriate and I edited her a little but, y'know. It was funny.

I will call her Gertrude because it's...well, it's what I call her. But it is very much not her name, it's a dumb joke I like to tease her about that no one else uses so I think it's a safe pseudonym to use.

So I messaged her today and was like "hey you're playing the name game I'm sending the pics tell me what you think" and like the good cousin that she is, she played along. I screenshotted some of what I thought were absolute quality frames from the last few updates and ran with it.

It went something like this...

Gertrude: ✨Alligator Warrior✨

Gertrude: Frog

Me: You have got to be more creative

Gertrude: Okay. Sir Henry Hop if you're gonna be picky

Gertrude: Sir Edgar Fair Legs. He looks like a fairy, but it's not fairy legs. It's Fair Legs

Gertrude: Sir Edgar Fairy Legs Jr. This one is actually a fairy

Me: You can't do two Edgars

Gertrude: I CAN IF THAT'S HIS SON AND YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT IS NOT EDGAR'S CHILD

Gertrude: Big eyed fairy boy that has attachment to blanket. His name is um...Sir Lucy. But he is known as The Boy With An Emotional Attachment To A Blue Blanket

Gertrude: You if you were a cartoon. Idk Edgar I guess

Me: THEY CANNOT ALL BE EDGAR

Gertrude: OH! OH I'VE GOT IT! SAD SAM!

Gertrude: Oh. Oh so they're fruity fruity.

Me: Gertrude please

Gertrude: Squiggs look at them. That's a whole fruit basket I have never seen a fruitier human and I love them

Me: What is his name

Gertrude: Idk he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips though. Um. OH I KNOW! FRUITY FRED!

(And then she sent me a video of her demonstrating what she thinks he walks like and it was hilarious and unfortunately includes her face so y'all just know it was quality and involved a lot of hair flipping)

Gertrude: Oh that's Mark

Me: That's it?

Gertrude: Yeah he's just Mark

Gertrude: OH. OUGH. OFNDJKFDSHJKFDS. UHHHH. SEXY EDGAR

Me: NOT ANOTHER EDGAR

Gertrude: HE IS SIR EDGAR FAIR LEGS' YOUNGER LESS SUCCESSFUL BUT SEXIER BROTHER HIS NAME IS CAMERON BUT EVERYONE CALLS HIM SEXY EDGAR

Gertrude: Wowza. You know what Doja cat said about big noses

Me: Gertrude focus

Gertrude: His name is definitely Samuel. Samuel Elk Boy. He can turn into an elk

Gertrude: OH GOSH. SO MANY THOUGHTS AT ONCE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS KID

Me: THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED TREAD CAREFULLY

Gertrude: Bowling ball looking eyeballs. He's adorable but my gosh he can see noises. He can see the sound waves. He can find my potential in life. Damn 👁👄👁

Me: GERTRUDE

Gertrude: OKAY I'M SORRY. IT'S BILLY. BILLY WITH THE BIG ASS EYES

Gertrude: Oooh a girl. I know she could kick anybody's ass. AND cook up a storm. MRS. EDGAR

Me: WHY

Gertrude: If she's not married to Sexy Edgar she should be. She deserves it

Me: Let her be her own person. Give her a name

Gertrude: HE TOOK HER NAME, FOOL. IT'S HIM THAT DOESN'T HAVE ONE

Gertrude: Sexy Wolf. Mrs. Edgar turns into this wolf

Me: She does not

Gertrude: She should

Me: Thank you for participating you did terrible

Gertrude: Yeah whatever I'm still thinking about those big ass eyes they saw things I didn't know existed

< part five part seven >

series masterlist main masterlist

"thank you so much, tell your parents that we appreciate their gifts." a woman smiled, taking the baskets that you and tuseÿa arrived with. when a na'vi woman has a child, the people within the clan bring them baskets filled with many things they may need. not too long ago, a couple had a baby and that same baby recently had their first communion with eywa at the tree of souls.

your parents decided that it would be nice to gift the parents with something and that's how you and tuseÿa found yourselves at their marui with baskets of freshly picked fruits and vegetables. after dropping off the baskets, the two of you bid your goodbyes and started walking back home.

you didn't really have any plans for the rest of the day and you couldn't leave high camp at the moment. the war party was still out and it was dangerous to leave during their raids.

while walking back to your own marui, a certain 7 year old ran past you rambling to everyone in earshot that the war party has returned.

"the war party's back!" the young tuktirey exclaimed as she ran past you and tuseÿa with kiri and spider. you looked up, watching the warriors come flying back on their banshees. your gaze averted to your sister when she nudged your arm.

tuseÿa pointed and you rotated to understand what she was pointing at. you watch as a few of the ikrans land before you notice it's the sully family. you see jake sully get off his ikran before he pulls an injured body figure off his banshee. it then becomes clear that the injured person is none other than neteyam.

it had been a couple weeks since you had interacted with neteyam. the raids that jake sully had orchestrated were becoming more frequent so that meant you saw neteyam less. it didn't really bother you because you knew he wasn't purposefully not trying to hang out with you. also, you have been questioning your feelings towards him for a while now. after that atokirina had landed on your arrow, you didn't know how to interpret that and you hadn't told anyone else.

"looks like your boyfriend got hurt." tuseÿa teased.

you sent a glare her way before turning back to the scene in front of you. since you were a good distance away you couldn't hear what was being said directly but it looked like jake was berating both neteyam and lo'ak.

kiri stood beside neteyam, examining her brothers arm while her father yelled at her brothers. your eyes were trained on neteyam though. he looked down at the ground with low shoulders as his father spoke to him.

you frowned, feeling bad for him. jake then dismissed him but continued to talk to lo'ak privately. neteyam and kiri started to walk away, towards where you were watching the ordeal.

"let's go." you spoke, grabbing tuseÿa's arm so you could go home but she pulled her arm out of your grasp.

"don't you want to say hi to him? neteyam!" she called out and your eyes widened, looking at her like she's insane. you immediately draw your arm back and hit her arm as hard as you could.

she winced as she jumped back, "ow!"

"why would you do that?"

"i thought you would want to speak to him."

"no i don't want to-"

"tuseÿa, y/n." a voice cut you off. you cursed lowly, turning around to see neteyam standing in front of you along with kiri. you forced a smile and brought your hand up to your forehead before bringing it back down to greet the two of them. since your back was turned when tuseÿa called his name, you missed the way his facial expression changed almost instantly when his eyes landed on you. you may have missed it but tuseÿa didn't.

now that neteyam was close to you, his injuries were clear as day. you frown, "neteyam what happened? was it lo'ak?"

he sighed and nodded, "yeah.. i'm going to my grandmother right now if you want to come."

your eyes flickered to kiri who was watching the interaction with furrowed eyebrows. she had never seen you before so the fact that you and neteyam were talking like you had known each other for ages left her puzzled.

you took your amber eyes off of kiri and put them back on neteyam, who was awaiting your answer. you finally shook your head, "no that's okay-"

an unexpected yelp left your throat as your younger sister pushed you forward, "we would love to! come on."

neteyam smiled as he took a hold of your hand and began walking to the tsahík's tent. you turned to glare at your sister who was smiling but you were about to ruin her fun right now.

"tuseÿa go home." you said.

the girls smile fell, "but-"

"go.home." you repeated, more sternly this time. she groaned loudly before turning around and stomping away in the opposite direction. you rolled your eyes as you kept walking with your hand in neteyam's. you knew tuseÿa only wanted what's best for you but she could be a little much sometimes. she also had a big mouth. neteyam had only come to your marui one time after the first and she started going around telling all her friends that neteyam is courting you and you had to beg her to stop telling people that because it simply isn't true.

even though your family knew that you are friends with neteyam, nobody else did. ri'an hadn't told lo'ak that you were the mystery girl all along so the rest of the sully family had been left out of the loop. the two of you still hung out in private. the only times you were seen at high camp together were when you met up to leave together and those moments were very brief for anyone to take notice.

"oh kiri this is y/n. y/n this is my sister kiri." neteyam said introducing the two of you to each other. you smiled and waved as she did the same.

it was then that you realized the stares you were getting from passersby. you put your head down so nobody would see your face. the main reason why you avoid speaking to neteyam at high camp is because the last thing you want is attention drawn to you. but being seen talking to and especially holding hands with the future olo'eyktan would definitely draw some attention.

when the three of you finally arrived at the tsahík's tent, the sully siblings already knew what to do like it was routine. kiri went to her own little corner with her supplies and neteyam sat in front of his grandmother with his back turned to her. you greeted mo'at properly and she nodded her head at you, starting to treat her grandsons wounds.

you stood there awkwardly before neteyam looked at you and patted a spot in front of him, "come, sit."

you hesitated before finally sitting down across from him with your legs crossed. you watched as he began to hiss and grimace at the pain from the healing paste mo'at spread across the open wounds on his back.

"are you okay?" you asked, concerned.

it took a moment before his face returned to normal. he nodded, "i'm fine."

mo’at glanced up to look at kiri to see her reaction. the younger girl was watching the pair with a confused look on her face. she shook her head and started making neteyam a drink that would help. once it was made, she tapped your shoulder. you turned slightly, seeing her holding out a small cup.

"give him this." she instructed. you awkwardly took the cup from her grasp and gave the cup to neteyam. he gave you a small smile before taking the cup and drinking it. it was a little distasteful so he made a face that made you laugh at him.

"oh this is funny?" he chuckled.

you shrugged, "maybe a little."

as neteyam forced himself to finish the drink, you took notice of a cut on his cheek. once the drink was finished, neteyam put the cup down.

you lifted your hand and took ahold of his chin, moving his head to the side so you could inspect the gash. it was small but you could tell that it was slightly deep. neteyam let out a hiss when you gently brushed your thumb over it.

you laughed, "big baby."

he smiled at your teasing. for a moment, you had forgotten that his sister and grandmother were in the room with you. it was just you and neteyam, hanging out as usual.

as you were smiling at one another, the flap of the tent opened and the rest of the sully family along with spider walked in. your hand immediately dropped from his face, incredibly embarrassed that you had gotten caught basically caressing neteyam's face in front of his parents.

before anyone could speak, you looked at neteyam and spoke lowly, "i'm going to go."

neteyam frowned, "why?"

"your family is here and i don't want to intrude." you said and stood to your feet.

"y/n-"

"it is fine. plus, i have other matters to attend to. i will see you another time." you said, using your usual excuse on the boy although he knew it was just an excuse by now.

you bid your goodbyes and exited the tent, leaving the rest of the sully family to process what just happened.

neytiri's eyes followed you as you left before turning to her gaze to her oldest son, "neteyam, who is that?"

neteyam looked up at his mother, "a friend."

"so you finally traded out your imaginary friend for a real one." lo'ak jokes and spider joined in, laughing with his friend.

neteyam rolled his eyes, "that is her, she was never imaginary. i just didn't know her name before."

"is that the one you were asking me about?" jake asked. neytiri's ears perked up at her husband's words and she turned to look at him. jake internally cringed, knowing she was mad that he didn't tell her anything about that. she didn't say anything but she didn't have to, jake already knew.

neteyam nodded at his fathers question before letting out another small hiss. mo'at had finally finished with his back and instructed neteyam to turn around. once he did, she examined the cut that you did and began applying the paste there as well.

"well your friend is pretty." tuk said, walking over to kiri, sitting with her. tuk had always gravitated more to kiri than her other siblings being that's who she spent the most time with.

"yeah.. she is pretty." neteyam mumbled. his lips curled slightly as he said the words. ever since the day an atokirina landed on your arrow, neteyam had been struggling to forget about it. yeah, he's attracted to you but the sign from eywa had him thinking if there was more to your friendship with him.

neytiri and jake had left the tent a moment ago but lo'ak still looked over, making sure they were gone before he spoke, "holy shit, you like her!"

mo'at understood most english but didn't know much about the curse words so she figured it was just some useless slang he was always yelling. she just continued to put away her supplies while her grandchildren and spider talked among themselves.

"i thought that was obvious, we walked in on them about to kiss." spider said, taking a seat.

"we were not about to kiss." neteyam deadpanned.

spider laughed, "whatever you guys were doing, it definitely looked more than friendly."

"are you going to court her?" tuk exclaimed.

"stop. you guys are overwhelming him." kiri spoke up, seeing how flustered neteyam looked after tuk's question.

neteyam finally stood to his feet and made his way to the entrance of the tent, "y/n and i are just friends." and with that, he left.

once he was out of earshot lo'ak spoke, "i say they'll be mated by next year."

spider scoffs at his friend's statement, "next year? i say as soon as he finishes uniltaron."

"what do you think kiri?" lo'aks asks his sister who rolled her eyes, "i refuse to be apart of this."

lo'ak and spider gave her a bored look.

she let out a sigh, "but i say once he completes uniltaron."

they smiled at her response and began discussing and joking about how they think neteyam will go about it.

sorry for the wait, life started life-ing and then i had writers block. i made my mom watch twow with me the other day bc she hadn't seen it yet and that gave me some motivation.
