CW - mind-blowing lack of critical thinking skills, spider slander, etc.

what in the HOT HELL is this (blurring out the user cause I'm not here to start drama)

Bored??? the poor thing looks emotionally damaged.

he finally got rescued by the people who abandoned him for months, who he was willing to be tortured and die for, and he had to watch his brother die because of it. not only did he die, but he died in front of him, for him. spider and Lo'ak were the ones holding him up as he bled out (we can't see from the angle, but he also probably held pressure on the exit wound).

he saved his dad (which I won't be discussing why I don't blame him for that, cause I don't care enough) who cared for him more in a couple of months then the Sully's did for him in 16 years. he has no idea what he's supposed to do, what's expected of him. he feels out of place in what should be his family. he's never been included in family life with them and now he's at the funeral of his brother. the women who almost killed him literally 5 feet away.

he looks like he's dissociating, numb, cause I don't know, he's a kid who just want through a shit ton of traumatizing events back to back. he looks hesitant because he knows one wrong move, one ounce of perceived disrespect could get him killed.

he looks like a traumatized 16 years old reacting to his brothers death. cut him some slack. there is so much going through his head, he's just floating through the motions.

if you think he's being disrespectful, check yourself, cause that's genuinely terrifying.

“Somewhere above the middle of Canadian wilderness, a single-engine plane flies on its way to Alaska, a 14 year old boy it’s only passenger.

Somewhere above the tall pines, it’s pilot has a heart attack mid flight and falls limb in his seat.

Somewhere above the beautiful lake, this plane abruptly falls, crashing through the trees and into the water.

Somewhere in these woods…

Brian Robeson is all alone, with nothing but a hatchet on his belt.”

.

Recently read Hatchet and I’m absolutely obsessed with it 🥰 got really inspired and had to make some fan-covers! The story is extremely tense, keeping you on your toes until the very end, and Brian himself is a very likeable character that not only learns the ways of the forest, but builds a type of spiritual connection with it, respects its power and the power of the creatures that inhabit it.

Jake, when Neytiri comes back after the kids knocked over a plant: Did you handle it? Yell at them, take away their toys? 

Neytiri, laughing: Yes, it is handled. It was the plant doing the least well. It was the best one to kill. And Spider isn’t scarred for life.

Jake, seriously: Great parenting. High five.

One thing I find funny about the narration of Avatar 2 is the idea that everyone just assumes that Quaritch cares about Spider. Yes, we, the audience, know he does, but everyone else in the story does not--even Quaritch didn't know he cared about Spider until the boat scene.

When Neytiri snatched Spider and held that knife to his throat, she was gambling, she won the gamble, but she was gambling that Spider meant ANYTHING to Quaritch. His being alive and well while in his clutches is insufficient evidence to support her thought process. What made Mrs. Sully think that Spider served any point to Quartich at all? What made Mrs. Sully believe that even if she turned that kid into sashimi right in front of Quartich, he would let her daughter go?

She gambled hard and won.

Chapter 38 - If you playing me that mean my home aint home

“Smug? Try just happy that my kid doesn’t want to starve himself today.”

Spider rolled his eyes. He’d never starved himself. 

My kid. 

My kid. 

Wait… had Quaritch ever called him ‘mine’ before? Spider paused, fork halfway to his mouth as the words sank in.

“Angels like you” is Spider Socorro coded.

I was thinking about how you said that Jake was probably the one who locked Spider’s hair and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I’m no expert on…I don’t know what the appropriate term is, styles for coily hair? But if you look at Jake’s locks and Spider’s side by side, I feel like Jake’s look better maintained. Spider’s look much chunkier and messier, more scraggly. His hair is also very dull and non-reflective, so it doesn’t look very clean.

Obviously I’m in no way saying that people who have locs don’t wash or take care of their hair! This is an observation on Spider’s hair specifically, as it relates to him most likely being neglected by the Sully parents. I’ve seen a lot of hairdressers who say that heavily matted hair is one of the biggest signs of neglect. Again, matted hair and locs aren’t the same, but that was what came to mind when you said he probably locked Spider’s hair so it would be less maintenance.

If I’ve been insensitive or disrespectful in any way, please let me know as that wasn’t my intention!

I am also no expert on hair, especially protective and black hairstyles, so heed that warning, and feel free to call me out if I make a mistake/say something offensive.

I think this hits the nail on the head. I think that for jake, 'locking' (ill get back to the use of quotations in a second) spiders hair was 'easiest' because there was 'no up keep' unlike braids or just leaving it down and natural that would have to be somewhat frequently/frequently cleaned and/or restyled over time.

This is blatantly false, locs have their own maintenance needs, and they have a reasonable amount of regular upkeep to keep them looking, feeling, and physically healthy/clean.

But in jakes mind, a white man who was thrown into a world that uses protective hairstyles, like braids, quite frequently (I don't know much about na'vi hair or why it is styled as such, or if that information even exists, so I have to run a bit off of what I see), if he 'locked' (here comes the explanation of the quotations) spiders hair, it would basically be a one and done thing; when in reality, Spider didn't have hair that could lock, his hair was curly, but not in a way that would allow or even demand protective styles. So he basically just matted (even if his hairs are mats, they are meant resemble locs, and it feels insensitive/can come off as horribly disrespectful to call them that, so I'm going to continue using 'locks' within this post) the poor thing's hair, cause that's what happens when you attempt to lock white hair, and most likely did nothing after. Spider was also super young when his hair was locked like that and I have full confidence it's never actually been cleaned properly since.

While I think jake had vaguely good while also naively neglectful intentions, Spider was horribly neglected, and it most likely started with hair.

I think this is also just partially a consequence of James Cameron's habit of culturally appropriating bipoc cultures, in this case, black culture.

But at the same time, I do have to agree that there is an intentional little detail between Jake's and Spider's hair; Jake's looks like they are properly cared for, while spiders look like a trainwreck (dirty, outgrown, ill-managed, all of the possible things). In fact, all of the other kids' hair looks equally well-managed. This has a lot to do with the fact that their hair is seemingly styled in the proper way for their hair type, but also because they are being cared for, their parents are putting time and effort into their hair, at least until they're old enough to do it themselves. It's also clear that hair can be managed quite easily while left down/natural cause Neytiri used to wear her quite long hair down, Kiri has her hair down, and most of the Metkayina people wear at least some of their hair down. to put it simply, Spider's hair didn't have to be 'locked'; it could have been managed just like so many others, and even if, for some reason, it had to be 'locked' (even when there are so many other styles for him to have been given that would have been proper for his hair type) they didn't have to be left in such a state.

Overall, I think Spider's hair shows two things; the neglect he went through at the hands of his adoptive family, and James Cameron's need to appropriate other's cultures.

Again, I want to clarify, I am not super educated on the topic, I only know the basics, and I may have slipped up. If any black or indigenous people want to comment or add to the discussion, I would greatly appreciate it, but no pressure.

Eu creio, eu espero, eu amo, mas tem horas que as forças e esperanças esgotam , tem tanta coisa acontecendo e sugando nossa fé. Eu não queria nada do mundo , nada pra prejudicar as pessoas como tantas , se Deus conhece meu coração, se ele me vê das várias vezes que explico a ele, e já que tudo vê e sabe e ele me conhece. Então eu só queria sair desse sufoco, ter o que comer, parar de ficar pedindo um aqui outro ali , passar fome doii, olhar pra geladeira e não ter nada doe, ai a pessoa vai dizer , vai arrumar um emprego e trabalhar, como ? Se eu fizer isso vou piorar o que ja me deixou doente. Tenho problemas sério de saúde, só que as pessoas não perguntam, ela do acham que sua vida é normal. Se eu fizer esforço , ou pegar peso, posso parar uma cadeira de roda. Ahhh como ei queria esta trabalhando, mas tinha dia que eu fazia 3 serviços fora de casa ,e chegava em casa ainda fazia de tudo, quantas vezes 01:00 da manhã eu estava lava do roupa , fazendo faxina , e comida pra deixar pro outro dia e comer porque eu nem almocei só bilisquei . Hoje mau do conta de arrumar minha própria casa , tô aqui sentada olhando pro armário , pensando como poderia limpar ele, não posso levantar os braços, não posso subir em escada ou cadeira, tô passando por um propósito, mas pra qual finalidade .

Sei que Deus é Jesus tem que socorrer pessoas que estão passando por situações piores que as minhas. Eu só queria um luz no final do túnel, uma passagem pra atravessar essa porta que estou vivendo e superar. ESTÁ de hoje .

The highlighted part translates as “So to you - and only to you - I am going to tell my story. I do not divulge it to a lot of people. Actually, you are the first person I am going to tell it to. It will be our little secret. And, as surely as the night follows the day, I am certain that you will keep it to yourself, that you will take it to your grave.” (translation mine, bolded text mine)

I love how ominous this last part sounds. It comes after two pages of the narrator doing his very best to say “oh boy I hope you are not wary of me, I am a nice person don’t worry, you are safe with me” in a cutesy kind of way that also as a manic quality that screams that there is something not right with said narrator.

Sorry mister interlocutor, the narrator is definitely going to kill you 😔.
