Avatar 3 D23 musings and analysis

Images drop on some BIG screens at D23 seems like!

First off, great new looks and close ups of Varang!

First off it's super dope. Look at her fingers! Looks like she's wearing claws (bone? forbidden metal? body mods). The notches on her belly and legs also look like potential scarifications!

Stuff I want to scream about on a personal level: The tswins... I made my Txepiva (ash Na'vi) fan clan to be warrior like, living in more desertic areas, and cutting queues as part of warfare. I also recently made a sketch to illustrate an idea to a friend that they may wear these queues in a bandolier tied to shoulders and hips as a show-off.

My Txepiva also have bare tail tips, and Varangs fits this too in this art, though I'm sure it's just the light rendering technique. If not, then I should apply for a job on the brainstorming team lmao.

Though I appreciate the idea of warfare and tswin cutting, I want to point out it's also possible that she's not actually wearing the tswin of her enemies, or at least not in the "this is how we kill other Na'vi" way.

The others around her are in obscuring and impractical headdresses, and this looks like a ritual. IMO it's very possible that the tswin she wears are that of ancestors, or old leaders, great warriors, or even enemies, collected and rebraided to create this distinct look. I particularly think it'd make sense for it to be made of the hair of past leaders and worn as a sort of crown, as nobody else is rocking that look in the image.

Next we have her weird not-an-ikran.

Glorious beast with 10 winglets where ikran have 4. It also has mouth frills, jaw frills, and a spike over its head, making it closer to stingbats in that area. Here's a super obvious comparison with an enlarged stingbat picture:

So their mount probaby evolved independantly from ikran. Would be fun if they also have poison.

Another FUN detail : GUNS!! Does it look like guns? Could be recoms then, Lyle, Q , and some new red shirt recoms... or could be Omatikaya wil RDA guns...

But for real, there are only two types of Na'vi with guns: the Omatikaya clan and the recombinants. Given past images in leaks ((remember this?))

It's most likely that the people interacting with Varang are going to be recoms and not Jake's people. BUT who knows where the plot will go. If it's recoms, I'd looove to know if it's 3 moffos because Q+Lyle+Mansk, or if we're getting new recom red shirts or what.

Then we have views of air ships, so we're getting to see the promised Wind Traders, with Neytiri in the forefront, and the Man'o'war inspired floaters being pulled by sky manta ray...

Not much to say about those. I just hope we get some high definition version released online soon.

If this reignites your hype for Avatar, go vote in this poll!

There's 20h left to vote, and I think we could all benefit from an event around december 2024, to pass the time before fire and ash's big dropin 2025.

The appearance 1.1 - teeth

I worked really hard on this post - searched for good (at least not the worst) pics for explanation; searched my old textbooks from uni

So, here it is)

P.S. about teeth change: I think my hypothesis is pretty accurate - look at Tuk she's 7 and her first canines are rounder than Lo'ak's

As we all know na'vi live about 90-120 years, so at least 3 teeth changes are evolutionary needed - look at Mo'at - her canines got rounder since the first movie

Tsu’tey x reader

So when you decide to marry Tsu’tey you had thought your marriage with him will be good. As Tsu’tey is a wonderful husband he had accepted, your wishes of going between your avatar and human body. You had respect and honored Tsu’tey role in the clan was warrior and clan lifestyle. Even due Tsu’tey and many other Navi were coming, to understand their human mates or friends there were some stuff they had fully understand. 

Y/n “ ……..” you had waken up early in your mates home as, you need to get back to the human base for more oxygen packs. You soon removed your husband arms around you and got out of bed, making sure to cover your husband in the blanket.

y/n " okay just need to get to the human base and it will be good"

????? " yawne" you soon stopped dead in your tracks as your heard, tsu'tey your tall blue warrior husband had called you. It was dumb of you to think that you can get pass him and not him notice at all.

y/n " ........"

tsu'tey " I know you are up and not in bed with me anymore, so don't act like you can get pass me" you soon sighed knowing you were not going to win this game against him.

y/n " hello my husband" tsu'tey soon got up from the hammock and looked at you, he sighed before he bends down to look at you.

tsu'tey " where do you think you are going"

y/n " I need to get some extra oxygen mask I will run low by this afternoon"

tsu'tey " why most you get them and not later"

y/n " if I get them later I will forget it as we are always busy with stuff, and avatar body"

tsu'tey " well why don't you give up your human body and be navi for a day, and spend time with me and our family"

????? " wow dad trying to ask for a date with mom like that nice move" you and tsu'tey soon looked and saw spider standing there as avatar.

tsu'tey " oh hush boy"

spider " oh come on day I'm just playing around"

y/n " oh come on we can fight about this later on my husband, but I need to get these air packs for me and spider if we stay here as humans"

tsu'tey " okay I just worry"

y/n " there is nothing to worry about my husband" you had kissed tsu'tey check making him smile, the mighty warrior had never thought he will find love until he meant you. He also thought he will never have a family until you and him welcome spider into your family.

y/n " I will see you to later kiddo"

spider " yes mom see you later" you soon left the home and head off towards the human base, you were able to see there were enough oxygen packs for everyone and new ones being made as well.

max " hey there y/n it good to see you"

y/n " hey max"

norm " good you were here your avatar body is fixed and perfect for you to use again,if you wish to use your avatar body again"

y/n " I was just having a conversation about my avatar body with tsu'tey .... you know I will love to use my avatar body again"

max " good lets get you ready" you had nodded your head as you soon followed max and norm towards the avatar link bods. The team along with you had gotten everything ready and soon enough the process had happened.

y/n " wow it worked perfectly"

norm " good to see you in blue again"

y/n " happy to be back as my avatar I missed having times like this life with mask, all the times get tiring after a while" the two man laugh at your statement, and now you were back as navi walking around the base and helping around.

norm " I still can't believe you married or mated in navi terms with tsu'tey"

y/n " he a good husband and person he makes me happy"

norm " I still remember when grace found out you and tsu'tey were becoming closer then friends... oh she was so shocked"

y/n " oh yes I remember that day she said she was shocked that, I and tsu'tey were becoming so close then she had thought she even predicted that we will become a couple and she was right"

Scientist " hey none of us knew we will be making our lives here on pandora, and that some of us will become very close to the navi"

max " so should we be expecting you and tsu'tey to be having some kids, and have more avatar and navi kids running around here with Jake kids and spider"

Scientist 2 " that will be funny will they be like tsu'tey or be like you"

y/n " we have had the conversation of kids before so maybe"

max " well do what you want"

y/n " thank you max"

Scientist " hey quick question for you y/n"

y/n " sure"

Scientist " is your husband going to fight us or kill us" you soon looked and saw tsu'tey sitting on his dire horse he was glaring at, the humans that were so close to his mate.

Scientist 3 " if looks could kill we will be all dead"

Scientist 4 " I thought we were on friendly terms with the clan"

y/n " don't worry everyone he harmless"

Scientist " harmless are you sure"

y/n " yes when he not mad about something or fighting and hunting, but he very nice and respect you all"

Scientist " then why is he so mad"

norm " well I think he overprotective of you y/n navi are protective of their mates, and will chase or fight anyone who trying to steal their mate or cross some lines"

y/n " that my husband"

max " oh here comes your husband" tsu'tey had gotten off his dire horse and soon walked towards, you he soon wrapped a arm around you and looked at the others.

tsu'tey " I know you all her friends but if anyone here tries anything ... we are going to have some problems I hope you all understand well we will be leaving now" tsu'tey soon dragged you away as you looked at your friends some of them seem shocked and scared at the same time.

y/n " sorry" you had mounted sorry to them as they nodded their heads towards you, but soon stopped when tsu'tey looked back at them. Tsu'tey soon helped you onto his dire horse and soon took off making sure to spend the whole day with you.

y/n " you know you are cute when you are jealous"

tsu'tey " I'm not jealous I'm just defend my wife my wife that all" you soon laugh making tsu'tey look away but deep down he was smiling as well. Even due he could be overprotective at times he was still your husband and, you wouldn't change anything about it.

Flying fish - Chapter 1

No matter which way you looked at it, Syulang and her siblings' lives were perfect. Two loving parents, an amazing community and Eywa's blessings shining down on them every single day. If only her younger sister Tsmi could see it that way, too.

Syulang had always wondered how someone could turn out like … that, despite being raised by the exact same parents, in the exact same clan, under the exact same sun in the exact same river. Syulang and her little brother Utu, the youngest of the sibling trio, were just like any other Syorkilvan: they loved swimming, cooking, relaxing in the mud, spending quiet hours napping or crafting and connecting with other members of the clan.

But Tsmi? Even as a little baby she had always recoiled from the mud whenever her parents tried to put her in it. She had no talent for cooking and she swam only if absolutely necessary, preferring to move around by balancing on the giant roots sticking out of the river instead.

But the biggest difference between Tsmi and her siblings reared its head whenever the clan congregated in the sacred underwater cave for ceremonies. While everyone sang and danced and tasted the glowing pink substance on the sacred roots, Tsmi would refuse - if she even showed up at all. She never managed to tame a Nìwankxa, after all, so she could only get to the underwater caves by asking someone else to give her a ride. Syulang would've never ever said no, if Tsmi just bothered to ask! But she never did, not tonight, not last month and not the months before that.

The Nìwankxa surfaced with a hiss and Syulang, planted firmly on the creature's back, caressed its rough skin with her slippery hands. "Mawey, Nunu", she hummed and scanned the river around her as the swampy water ran down her body in tiny rivers.

More Na'vi returned from the underwater caves on the backs of their mounts and headed back home, chatting, laughing, often in groups. Syulang held on to a shimmer of hope in her heart that she’d spot her sister somewhere with them, but as always, the stubborn young woman was nowhere to be seen.

"Give up, sister.", a deep voice beside her said. Utu and his Nìwankxa had silently surfaced a few moments after Syulang. Her brother's huge pupils had almost devoured the ring of color around them and pink flecks glimmered between his teeth as he smiled.

"You can't force a fish to love flying."

"Tsmi is not a fish!", Syulang protested, crossing her arms. "She is Syorkilvan, like you and I and everyone here." Her eyes lowered, watching the moonlight reflecting on the rippling water. "I just don't understand why she doesn't want to be one the people. One of us."

Utu shrugged and absentmindedly played with a line of beads in his hair. "Just leave her be. She'll find her joy someday, without you holding her hand along the way."

Syulang shook her head and hissed in disapproval. Her Nìwankxa turned away with a flip of its long tail, spraying Utu with water in the process. Syulang knew where to go, and so did Nunu. It wasn't that far.

Nunu jumped out of the river onto a large, curved root sticking out of the water's surface and used its strong limbs and claws to climb up high. Syulang severed the tsaheylu and continued on foot, jumping from root to root until she found it: a curved, low hanging branch, with a lone figure sitting on it.

Syulang pressed her lips together and approached her little sister. Tsmi didn't say anything as she silently sat down next to her. She simply hugged her legs tighter and buried her nose behind her knees.

"Alone again?", Syulang asked. Tsmi nodded.

"Why? Being with the others is much more fun."

"No, it's not. They think I'm weird.", Tsmi grumbled.

"Nobody thinks you're weird, Tsmi." Syulang scooted a little closer. "The clan would love to spend more time with you, and they're sad that you don't want to."

"'The clan', meaning you?", Tsmi scoffed, turning away from her sister. Her orange eyes fixated on the river below them.

Syulang sucked in the air through her teeth. "I just don't understand w-"

"Exactly", Tsmi interjected, "You don't understand. You'll never understand."

"Then help me understand!" Syulang grabbed her little sister's shoulders and gave her a light shake. "What is wrong? What's making you unhappy?"

"I don't know!", Tsmi shouted in sudden anger and bared her teeth at her sister. "I can't talk to people. I hate mud. I failed to tame a Nìwankxa. I don't want to sing or swim or dance with the others. I can't stand that nasty pink substance all of you praise so much. I think …" Her anger faded as fast as it arose. "...I think Eywa has forbidden me from feeling joy."

"Don't say that!", Syulang gasped and pulled her into a hug. Her little sister squirmed for a moment, then stopped. "Eywa wants all of her children to be happy. That's what the Tsahìk says."

"The Tsahìk told me to chew blackwood bark to make me feel happy.", Tsmi grunted with a sour face, remembering the nasty taste and very apparent lack of joy afterwards. "I think she doesn't know what she's talking about."

"Oìsss, silly girl!" Syulang shook her head and rolled her eyes, silently begging Eywa to bless Tsmi with the wisdom to understand and respect the Tsahìk's teachings.

"It is true. Eywa has something wonderful in store for all of us. Remember the story mother and father always told? How Eywa allowed them to meet and fall in love at the perfect moment? Joy is out there and it will come to us when it's time." Syulang looked down at the river and let her feet sway back and forth. Her cheeks briefly flushed with warmth. "I believe Eywa is saving someone special for me too. I will meet him at the perfect moment, just like mother met father."

"It's a nice thought.", Tsmi said, swaying her own feet in sync with her sister.

"It will be true. You just watch." Syulang smiled. "And you'll meet your special someone too."

'Maybe then you'll finally be happy', Tsmi added in her mind. After all, that's what Syulang wanted to tell her with that little story, didn't she?

The two sisters sat together on the branch, swayed their legs back and forth and just watched the river flow. The chirping, whistling, croaking and humming of various animals created a beautiful symphony around them, and for a moment, Tsmi could almost grasp the love Syulang and the other Syorkilvan felt for this river. Then her eyes followed the flow of the river and rested on the horizon, where it disappeared between the trees.

Some time later, the sisters silently headed home.
