i actually hate talisa maegyr. i think her whole plot with robb was so stupid. like in the books robb’s marriage with jeyne is this tragic situation that’s really a culmination of the stress and grief that robb has been going through and unable to truly process because he is a child trying to lead his people in a war. he gets injured and then learns that his former best friend has just betrayed him, captured his home, and killed both of his younger brothers which adds to growing list of loss in his life. his father got executed, his sisters are being held hostage, his best friend betrayed him, and now his brothers are dead. so while he’s injured and kind of being consumed by his grief, jeyne westerling is there to comfort him and they do the deed and this only makes things worse because of how robb was raised and instilled with his father’s honor, as well as seeing how jon was raised, robb feels compelled to marry jeyne to preserve HER honor which ends up being his downfall. but nooooo in the show robb falls in love with foreign beauty talisa maegyr and dies because he’s an idiot and couldn’t keep it in his pants. like don’t get me wrong i love robb’s scenes in the show richard madden call me i just think the story could have been so much better and been true to the tragedy that it is in the books.
There's no way Quaritch will be allowed to be dressed like this unless he's one of the people. Can't wait what he will have to go through to reach that level. He has to connect to Eywa at some point to do it. That'll be very interesting to see. I wonder what role Varang plays in all this.
Varang canon inspired design via extremely blurry screenshot and Oona Chaplin’s beautiful face.
So with the tiny snippet we got from the behind the scenes featurette I drew a rough sketch of Varang from those very blurry screenshots. It’s in canon colours and I used the same reference photo of Oona Chaplin as a previous work of fanart I did for Varang (in my own fire Na’vi design), instead of drawing her headpiece I wanted to draw what her hair could look like underneath/casual-look. Just plain face, no war paint or whatever.
Honestly when I think about it, there’s a good chance she could have like, no hair, ancient Egyptian shaved style and covered in a wig/headdress.
Her stripes are supposed to be very tiger inspired and the fire Na’vi having red eyes just seems right. Besides the face shape (I think?!) and the base skin tone this is all speculation again but I hope it gives a clearer view of what Varang will look like in Avatar 3.
Honestly I’m just so hyped for this character and I’ve got no idea why. Maybe because it seems she’ll be really important in Quaritch’s story line and his story was my favourite part of atwow and I’m probs jumping the gun by a mile to start shipping them but it’s the dark vortex of hyper fixation that done got me. (Starting the #Quarang tag for potential doa but that’s a problem for future P.A).
Below is the new drawing alongside the references I used and the ‘detail’ sketches I made of the screenshots. Edit: okay I couldn’t resist a war paint version.
