atwow hot take:
if jake had said his "son for a son" shit out loud and spider had heard him, he would have been so beyond pissed, he would be seeing red.
spider loved his little siblings so much, neteyam included, even after they grew apart. he loved them like they were his own blood and protected them like they were too (we see a lot more of them together in the comics, where spider is the big brother without a doubt). neteyam's death most certainly rocked him hard, even if he hasn't really been able to show it (how could he? he's already going through all the shit with his dad and the RDA and their nonsense, he can't grieve around neytiri, he's just so tired after it all. he doesn't have the room or the energy to grieve yet)
so if jake had the audacity to say that to/around spider not even a few hours after he watched his little brother get shot after coming to save him, after he stared at the bullet hole in his back, after he watched him take his last breaths, after he watched the light leave his eyes, after he watched his little brother die for him; if he said that while his little brother's body lay in a pool of his own blood not even ten feet away, not even cold yet, blood still clinging to his chest, the scent of it still filling the air: he would have lost his shit.
because the disrespect for his brother is wild.
jake was an active player in spider's neglect and abuse for the last 16 years, he let it happen, he helped it happen. he tried to send spider with the humans, tried to take him away from his siblings, from the forests, from eywa to live with his foster family that didn't love him (not to mention Nash was an asswipe of epic proportions) and the RDA of all people. he had referred to spider as a stray animal since he was little. he was the reason spiders life was hell.
and after all that, years and years of putting him in shit positions and allowing him to suffer the fate of being forever unloved and uncared for (by an adult authority figure, cause I love the kids, but they don't make up for the gap left by a parent), this is what it took for jake to care about him? his little brother had to die in front of him first? he had to be traded out to fill the space of a corpse, to fill in the gap left by his little brother's death?
in canon, spider was in deep in shock with nothing to break him from it, he wasn't in the place to really think about any of it, and I'm sure we're gonna see this anger in the coming movies, but if jake had said it out loud, that would have been enough to snap spider right out of it, and he would have given jake a piece of his mind, I just know it.

Pixane is my OTP and nothing in the universe will ever change that. They hold within them a piece of my soul.
But also... I will die for the rights of all y'all Pixal/Zane sibling people. That's wholesome as hell and I wish you a very nice day.

Felt that. It’s like people forget platonic relationships exist, familial relationships exist, mentor-mentee relationships exist. Not everything needs to be romantic, so sick of people making the romantic the be all end all.
Exactly! I'm so confused by people who look at the Straw Hat's and think each of them needs a romantic partner by the end of the series. Like romance = true happiness.
The Straw Hat's love each other so much. None of them are dating anyone. And they're so, so happy! Nami isn't in love with anyone nor is she searching for romance. No one joined the crew because they have romantic interest in Luffy. Their found family is precious and fulfilling. The series could end with none of them in romantic relationships and it would be a very happy ending for them, so long as they have each other!
Screw romance, I want what they have 💜💜💜
