Chapter Three of my Jake Sully/Neytiri psychological horror fic, Empty Mouth, is here! 🌿

After spending Chapter Two following Jake through the abandoned RDA facility, we're returning to Neytiri's perspective, picking up immediately after her encounter with the thing wearing her mate's face.

And unfortunately for Neytiri, things are about to get considerably worse.

The facility is hiding far more than either of them initially suspected. Every corridor seems designed to lead her somewhere, every familiar sound feels like a trap, and the creature hunting her is beginning to learn.

It knows Jake's face. It knows his voice. And now it's learning the little things that make him Jake.

Genre: Psychological Horror | Sci-Fi Horror | Body Horror | Angst | Established Relationship | Jeytiri

Content Notes: Psychological manipulation, body horror, animal suffering and death, unethical experimentation, physical violence, forced restraint, threats to bodily autonomy, non-consensual contact involving a kuru, and disturbing depictions of a loved one's apparent suffering and death.

📖 Read Chapter Three Here

If you've been following Empty Mouth, I'd love to hear what you think! I'm especially interested in how you're finding Neytiri's characterisation, the escalating horror, and the mystery surrounding the facility.

And if you're new to the story, Chapters One and Two are available on AO3 as well!

Thank you so much for reading! 💙

batch of sketches!

- mateo and his mom (he thinks he is too grown for this and sec ops will not stop calling him mamas boy)

- he gets a lot of random scratches and wounds, usually from being ill-sized for the base. he has plenty of time to treat them at the end of a long day in a dead silent avatar compound bunkroom

- mateo is an illustrator who focuses on making accurate illustrations of pandoran plants and animals. his preferred medium is gouache.

I had a thought the other day and it's been on my mind for a while...

Would Kiri count as a warlock or a druid?

We know she gets her abilities from Eywa, who is this giant neural network/entity made up of all plants and animals on the planet. Druids get their power from having a connection to nature such as plants, animals, and the elements; while Warlocks gain their abilities from a higher entity.

Spider is overhated by this Fandom and I'm sick of it 💀✌🏾

I'm bored out of my mind! So... Does anyone wants to interact with ocs or something? I Miss being in The fandom and share lores and meet ocs 😭

I realised this when I was looking to see how I would have to do my son's facepaint for Halloween, not sure if it's been pointed out before. I would say it could just be coincidence but after watching the BTS for the movies almost nothing seems to be unintentional in terms of design choices.

This may also link in with the fact that Payakan has an injured left eye, the left eye being the Eye of Horus representing restoration after damage, associated with healing, protection and rebirth. The Eye of Horus was destroyed as he avenged his father Osiris to restore balance and wellbeing.

If we tie Loak and Payakan to the left eye, we can then tie Kiri to the right eye, the eye of Ra. Representing sun, light and highest strength. Symbolising protection and destruction as a means of safeguarding against threats and evil, which we see through Kiri's ability to call on the warrior mother. What makes this more interesting is Sekhmet, the lioness goddess (which could refer to the feline features of the Navi) is linked with the destructive aspect of Ra's daughter in mythology.

It does all seem to piece together. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts!

Edit: Also interesting that Seth - who damaged the eye of Horus is represented as chaos, destruction, and the barren desert, while Horus embodied sky, kingship, and order. Avenging Osiris meant restoring harmony and prosperity to Egypt.

Seth = RDA Horus = Loak/Payakan

This would make Jake Osiris and Neytiri Isis so we may as well delve into that!

Osiris is the son of Geb (Earth) and Nut (Sky), brother to Seth who eventually murders him

Isis gathers his parts after he is murdered and restores him, conceiving a son - Horus. Isis is famed for her boundless resourcefulness and unmatched magical skill. Osiris remains after restoration, becoming ruler, Jake remains after restoration becoming Olo-eyktan.

The obvious issue here is the first conceived son is Neteyam, not Horus/Loak. Maybe here we could consider Osiris' sister Nephthys, a more elusive figure, associated with mourning and the fragile threshold between life and death. Nephthys was not simply a goddess of mourning — she was the goddess of the protective night, the ordered household, the safe passage between worlds, and the resilience that holds families and souls together.

Another interesting titbit I've just seen is once Osiris became ruler of the underworld after restoration - he resided in the Hall of Ma'at. In the Hall of Ma’at, the souls of the dead came before him to face the ultimate test. Their hearts were weighed against the feather of Ma’at, the divine standard of truth and justice. The Hall of Ma'at, the Hall of Mo'at - the home of the Omaticaya and their spiritual leader.

Edit 2: Ok so - linking back to Kiri, we talked about the Eye of Ra and the daughters of Ra. We have TWO daughters, Sekhmet and Bastet who both hold similar powers but represent the two sides of these powers. Sekhmet represented plague and illness while Bastet was depicted as protection against contagious disease and evil spirits. What's interesting is these are both feline goddesses who are represented with a round, red crown - just as Varang is. Could be a connection with Varang and Ra there.

There are a lot of name similarities, such as Neteyam and Nefertem, Varang and Ra, Mo'at and Ma'at, Neytiri and Nefertiti

Edit 3: Another interesting link is the significance of eclipses in the storytelling of Avatar. Eclipses are considered to be signs of danger, and the eyes of horus and ra represent the sun and the moon. The eclipse is the moon blocking the sun.

Okay I gotta go to bed now before I turn into Charlie from Always Sunny 😅

I have both traditional dates and sidereal dates. I am also working on an Eastern Zodiac one with years, different personality traits, different elements and of course different Pandoran animals.

I haven’t seen anything like this so decided to do it myself, made it for my Na’vi characters. It felt wrong to give them earth animals/things to symbolise them, I know they don’t have a calendar like we do but it made it much easier for me to navigate!! I may make a fully seasonal zodiac calendar that better suits the Na’vi “calendar” in future but as of now this is what I’ve done :)

Please feel free to use for your own Na’vi characters or for yourself!
Please note that each zodiac has three positive and negative traits (these were taken google, this is not how I personally feel about each sign). These zodiacs are in no way limited to only the six traits I have given them, please feel free to expand upon them and make them your own!

- Aries is now the Toruk (Great Leonopteryx).
- Taurus is now the ‘Angtsìk (Hammerhead Tiatanothere).
- Gemini is now the Syaksyuk (Prolemuris).
- Cancer is now the Tulkun.
- Leo is now the Palulukan (Thanator). 
- Virgo is now the Nantang (Viperwolf). 
- Libra is now the Lortsyal (Shimmyfly).
- Scorpio is now the Pxazang (Akula).
- Sagittarius is now the Ikran (Mountain Banshee).
- Capricorn is now the Pa’li (Direhorse).
- Aquarius is now the Kreytu’um (Windray).
- Pisces is now the Ilu.

I’m sure this question gets asked a lot but I’m really excited about the idea of learning but the only app I could find was a dictionary that doesn’t give me any pronunciation, grammar, etc.. and I can’t really learn it based on that. Is there any kind of game like a niche game, any game similar to like Duolingo, drops or even Lingo Legend? I’ve only recently found out there’s a game- does it do any language learning that would work? Thanks!

I'm watching Fire and Ash again, and I'm at the part where the Tulkun matriarch of the Metkayina is deciding what to do about Payakan. The matriarch is communicating in Tulkun language, while Tonowari translates what they say to the Na'vi. I then noticed that there's a Metkayina guy standing next to/behind Tonowari, reiterating what Tonowari says in Sign Language to the Tulkun. But why does this person need to reiterate what's being said with Sign Language? I'm sure a Tulkun's hearing is good enough that they can hear Tonowari speaking at the council.

I know that in order to communicate with the Tulkun under water, the Na'vi speak with Sign Language, since they obviously cannot use spoken language under water.

It was mentioned in the Way of Water that the Tulkun are smarter than humans, and a lot of humans in real life can learn more than one language without much difficulty. So I'm sure a Tulkun would be able to understand more than one language, too. Tulkun language being one, Sign Language being a second language, and spoken Na'vi being a third.

Do the Tulkun not understand spoken Na'vi? I'm sure some Tulkun have spent enough time with their Na'vi friends to understand at least the basics of their language.

I warn: the first one has probably nosense
The others draw (doodles) have been made with Aurora(Srmonke oc) and a collab drawing with @nm_arts_ oc (is that all you ve got ? One)
Sometimes im better at drawing than write a story

It seems that Alexandría got caught... And the price was the life of her soldiers. Oh poor little dreamwalker, not even your modified avatar saved you from this...

Mine my favourite personally is the eldest, because it’s just so perfect. Has anyone else read it? I swear this fic isn’t talked about enough

Thought it was cool as hell lol

Completed my interpretation of what a na’vi from a snow biome may look like. I took inspiration from indigenous communities, specifically the Sakha from Siberia.

Chapter Two of my Jake Sully/Neytiri psychological horror fic, Empty Mouth, is here! 🌿

After the events of Chapter One, we finally move into Jake's perspective, following him as he attempts to navigate the abandoned RDA facility and find his way back to Neytiri.

But the deeper he ventures into the building, the more he begins to realise that something is terribly wrong.

The corridors seem to move around him. Familiar voices call from empty rooms. And somewhere within the facility, something has been studying him.

Something knows his face. His voice. His memories.

But how much does it really understand about the man it's trying to imitate?

This chapter was particularly challenging to write because I wanted to explore Jake's character beyond his role as a warrior. His compassion, his relationship with Pandora, and, most importantly, his love for Neytiri are all central to the horror.

After all, what could be more terrifying than discovering that the things you love most are being used against you?

Genre: Psychological Horror | Sci-Fi Horror | Angst | Established Relationship | Jeytiri

If you've been following Empty Mouth, I'd love to hear your thoughts! I'm particularly interested in how you're finding the atmosphere, Jake's characterisation, and the mystery surrounding the facility.

And if you're new to the story, Chapter One is available too!

Thank you so much for reading and supporting my writing! 💙

I especially love the floating mountains/boulders that are connected with vines and have waterfalls disappering into the wind, and the bioluminescent plants that have a dim shine at night and light up when touched. These just hit differently in the movies for me. Do you guys have any specific favorites/anything that really fascinates you?
