sully family doing jigsaw puzzles whos the mean one and who’s afraid of them
Oh bestie what a question. Very specific as well.
I’m thinking that Neytiri doesn’t have the patience for puzzles often. Jake never does, but he will humor the children. They’re often just too busy and active, and if they are sitting down as a family Neytiri would rather knit and Jake would rather play Candy Crush. Obviously Lo’ak has no puzzle attention span, but Kiri loves them. She always has one going on the kitchen table, she likes to play music or an audiobook and be in a puzzle vibe. I think Neteyam and her spend whole afternoons on books, tea, and coffee. Jake loves those afternoons because sometimes he just needs a Candy Crush day on the couch while he listens to their audiobook and quiet conversation. Neytiri will bake when those days happen, and everything is quiet and calm until those absolute cretins Spider, Lo’ak, and Tuk come in and decide to try and help. Vibes ~destroyed~ entirely because for some reason they cannot do a puzzle right in Kiri and Neteyam’s eyes.
Neteyam can keep this to himself, he just goes “good job Tuk!” while his eye twitches as she tries to put two entirely different shades of green together. Spider is actually trying but he’s always somehow picking up the piece Kiri just tried and doing the same thing she just did with it and it makes her want to die. Lo’ak does it on purpose, he takes two puzzle pieces that are so polar opposite they might as well be magnetically opposed and forcing them together in front of Neteyam and Kiri until Neteyam develops a permanent twitch and Kiri flips shit and he’s banned to go play Candy Crush with Jake. Eventually Jake, Spider, Tuk, and Lo’ak start a rival Mario Kart tournament and claim it is their relaxing afternoon vibe instead, but is is so cutthroat that Neytiri almost had to give Jake a timeout for celebrating too hard one time. Instead she just joined and beat him.

i napped the entire day away and my dreams included, but were not limited to: big earthquake that, as it was happening, i was like "oh this is a bad one" and my stepdad went "its not that bad" - our house slid down a ravine into water / very vivid evening apocalypse that - after the blast hit and i died - swirled into sleep paralysis that occurred While I Was Dreaming (and i do mean swirled. i got whipped around like an inflatable tube man) / rich people sitcom where everyone was unbearable but i had my dear cat Letti with me / sound-based monster shaped like my mom that i kept from killing me via a funny joke (i didnt even get to finish my microwaved macaroni smh)

So I'm trying to write out some ideas for Dominion au scenes and I guess I'm questioning what kind of humor fits Dominator? She's definitely comically evil + mean spirited so there is dark humor galore (Plus with kid cosmic using death as a punchline, lmafo it makes for some dark opportunity),
but if.... sighes, If the writers really were trying to go for the "she doesn't belong in the show" anime-op-badass "sexy bully"(<<<gags I hate this approach i hate sexy bully) archetype, I have to wonder if she's conscious of herself in situations or not. In Q&A they say she loves riot grrl but she's also fine with using a guy persona to "mess with people"?? Mess with them how? Make them double take and awkwardly scramble to treat her differently? Or make them not judge her as a (gender) but as a badass foe first and foremost regardless, and being a woman is just the cherry on top?
I have to wonder if her love for the riot grrl genre includes the fundamental girl empowerment (proud to be a girl), or the "don't judge me just because I am a girl! I belong here too!" aspect. Is her perspective that she is proud to be a badass woman, or does she feel she's a badass who happens to be woman therefore women must be great? She seems to use whatever tools she has at her disposal, but also has a comedic self care routine of fluffy towels and pink guest bathrooms. So she's all out evil villain, but also has sensitivities and seemingly personal boundaries with "me-time" which doesn't read entirely as the all out off the wall destroyer, but a quirky lethal evil conqueror.
It matters because like, would she be a "sexy" bully that has personal boundaries over her body, or is it all in, make the others squirm and yelp? Is she vulgar and unhinged? or does she have some kind of pride that would prevent her from "degrading" her self in her view by flirting with people she sees as losers? We have characters that have a sense of pride or a sense of boundary, which can make for good kind spirited humor too, but if Dominator really doesn't belong, it's hard to discern just how far her actions would go.
basically it's one of the two:
A) she embodies the "intensely evil little girl" all grown up into a fearsome villainess, playing godzilla with living toys. This is within the same vein to Hater's "spoiled brat emo prince" all grown up into a manchild rockstar tyrant personality. This means she would have some personal boundaries and sense of pride, meaning she would toy with others (flirting, teasing) but not be intensely vulgar. Fits the setting of WoY pretty well, though? Is... being pretty and mean enough to be a sexy bully archetype? Ugh Man, I hate this trope lmao. It feels gross.
B) She embodies the "evil no matter what" and just happens to be a woman. she relishes in bullying others and making them squirm, wanting to destroy everything in her path. She's super unhinged and even self-destructive if not careful. No sense of sympathy for others, she just. wants. to. destroy. those puny little faces. (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops. This means she would be very vulgar, and not care what people think about her or her body because of course she's already perfect, she's HER. This to me reads as more so the sexy bully archetype, but ignores some semblance of her softer sides like her "...friend?" moments with Sylvia or her funny reactions to things like "what? Ew--no." which imply personal boundaries.
I'm writing a whole damn essay about this because I don't want to make her too vulgar if it's ooc. But... it's seriously hard to understand what the hell the writers even meant by "sexy bully" because is that just a hot mean girl? Or a get under your skin and twist the knife just "to break your heart and watch you cry" kinda thing??? HOW FAR DOES IT GO, idk idk.
Frankly I wish canon Dominator was not fanservice sultry and only sporadically "maniac pixie nightmare girl" like the VA's videos implied, because that stuff was hysterically fitting for WoY. Unhinged and unfitting of the WoY universe, but in a light goofy turning instantly heavy and dark humored way.
