Still gnawing at the bars of my enclosure about my Wanderer au for Spider.
Spider taking his life by the reins and living for himself and choosing not to go back.
Not to the Omatikaya. Not to the Sullys. Not to a place where he was always caught between love and rejection, between being theirs and being nothing.
He leaves with his ikran and travels.
Spider soars over vast oceans, over floating mountains wreathed in mist, over uncharted lands where even the Naβvi and the RDA have never stepped foot in. He learns from wandering clans, from nomads who do not ask where he came from or who he used to be. He listens to the hum of Eywa in the trees, in the waters, in the very air he now breathes.
And for the first time in his life, he is free.
The Sullys search for him. He knows this. He hears whispers of their desperate attempts to track him, to follow the ghostly traces of a human who needs no mask, who rides an ikran like he was born to.
They never find him.
Because this time, his life is his own.
"He was like a stray cat."
Me, an intellectual: ... That's a child.
Here my first try to draw an albino Na'vi. Because she has no pigments, she doesn't have any stripes. It was really challenging but I think she looks cute π
@yararts and I are planning to make the oldest daughter of the Queen an Albino. This comes of course with a lot of health challenges.
We will tell you more about it in the future π₯°
(if I don't post much these days, it's coz of my wrist hurting again. Sorry)

Was watching a reaction video to the Predator Badlands trailer, and one of the people reacting said something along the lines of, βI donβt care about predator culture, I donβt want to learn a single thing about them. I just want them to be mysterious alien hunters.β
Okay, but isnβt this way of thinking precisely what has been suffocating the franchise for the last decade? We never get anything new or anything interesting because film makers keep sticking to the same old formula in order to keep the predator species βmysteriousβ. Well, I hate to break it to you folks, but an alien species that has appeared in seven films has ceased to be mysterious a long time ago.
Spider will be, at least ever so slightly compared to other humans, respected. he protected the clan. the Na'vi.

The more I reflect on Spider in the comics, the more I like him tbh. Heβs a stinky teen who acts as a dumb/dumber duo with Loβak most of the time, but the second shit gets real, he drops all of that and behaves more maturely than most.
Like here for example. No running away from accountability, though he knows heβll become a target of scrutiny. Biting the bullet together with his bro. Full respect towards his elders, with a fist over his heart and everything. Good for him π
