Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but
Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?
Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

a (kinda sad?) detail i included was the lunar moths, i imagine due to her caring nature, she keeps them as pets, using her magic to lengthen their lifespans since they only live a few days naturally. theyre drawn to her because of this đŚ

An ATWOW fanfic (fem!reader insert)
Note: reader enters the story as âRaytiâ, the daughter of a strong healer of the Omaticaya clan. The fic begins after the abduction of Spider, and the reader is worried for her friends upon hearing about the sudden targeting of Jake Sully and his family.
âLeaving?â
âYes, ma childâ, the mother replied as she combed through the unruly locks of her eldest daughter. Aside from the occasional tug on tangled strands, she weaved her fingers to calm her troubled youth. The youth, in question, simply bowed her head in disheartenment. âHad they decided to stay, theyâd be in dangerâ, she bit her lip in further dismay, âthen weâd all be in dangerâ.
Though hidden away from the turmoil of the constant attacks and resistance between Naâvi and Sky People, she, among many, was not oblivious to the situation of the Sully family. Especially after news of the recent attack reached the ears of their community. She was hopeful, but reality surged to strike at their hearts, already torched alight by the violent operations against their foreign counterparts. Now Spider, her friend, had been taken; the rest spared and brought back safely. They needed a new plan, to guarantee safety for all of them. To save their stronghold from further peril. Of course, it was an eye for an eye, and a price was to be paid.
âSo, it is agreed, then?â She was certain that a new Olo'eyktan was to be chosen. There would be a ceremony, and they would all have to see the family offâŚand then..
The mother, Naoâyri, held her daughterâs distraught face. She could easily read the mind of her beloved in one glance, and she never held any doubt if not in the current moment. No, today she knew what her daughter was thinking, and she didnât like it. But it was not so easy to halt these gears turning in her head, nor wipe away the determination in her eyes. So, she held the smaller fist of this troubled youth and as their eyes met, it was as if their minds had connected.
âI hope you know what youâre doing, my Raytiâ

The fire drew sprightly glows on the barren ground as Rayti and her mother drew closer to the tent of the Toruk Makto and his family. She could hear the adamant yet flourishing voice of her tribeâs TsahĂŹk from inside the weaved shelter as an accompanying Naâvi soldier stood by the entrance. He announced her presence and the voices died down. A friendly face popped from inside to greet her, and she couldnât help but smile at the sight.
âNeteyam!â She scurried to the entrance as the Naâvi soldier turned away.
âRayti! Come in!â The taller adolescent guided her inside with a pat on the shoulder, as his sibling rushed past him, eager to see her friend.
âTuk! How are you? All okay?â Rayti stooped down to inspect the youngest, who was already laughing at her antics.
âIâm fine, sister! Mom and dad looked me over,â her voice dropped to a whisper,â It was really scary, thoughâ.
Rayti could only manage a smile at the others, Kiri and Loâak, as their father drew closer. âI understand you requested a talk on serious terms?â
âYes.â Came Naoâyriâs reply. He gestured to the covered floor as the family sat once again, along with their guests.

The fire flickered and cackled under the heavy stares of its masters.
âI see, so youâd like to join usâ, Jake frowned uneasily.
âSimply as an accompanying navigator,â Naoâyri continued, âMy daughter believes that her acquaintance with traveling could be of use. She has flown many a time to distant regions in pursuit of the herbs needed for my remedies. She knows of a faraway tribe that could provide sanctuary. And additionally,â she turned to her daughter, eyes soft and smiling.
âIâd like to help, sir,â Rayti cursed the small waver in her voice yet continued, âWe are indebted to you and your family, for you among many warriors have ensured the safety of this tribe,â she paused to make eye contact with each of the members of the family, which only strengthened her resolve.
ââŚit is only right that we as a community should see to yours as well.â
Jake eyed the girlâs eager, swishing tail as his TsahĂŹk spoke, âAnd, you can ensure this?â.
âIt will not be easy, but I have trained Rayti well in my ways of herbs and medicine. She will be able to provide additional aid with this training. It will take many days and nights to get to this secluded region, away from the forest.â
âAway fromâŚyour homeâ Rayti held no doubt what this would mean for Jake and his family, especially Neytiri, who had already gone through so much before becoming TsahĂŹk. How much more hurtful would it be, to then be ripped apart from home in pursuit of a singular solution, to untangle your heartstrings from the vines of the Earth, and to set flight to a place where no one else could follow? But if she could do something for her friendsâŚto hasten their escape⌠It would be indeed be painful for each of them, but she was willing to do what she could to help fortify their plans.
Crackle, pop
Neytiri and Jake exchanged a look. Less anxious now, Rayti intervened.
âI will be staying shortly to ensure your settlement goes smoothly, and after-â
â-After she does my workâ Naoâyri emphasized tenderly, earning a swift nod from her daughter.
â-Yes, after I retrieve some plant samples. I will return to the Omaticaya clan without a trace of where I arrived fromâ.
Crackle, sputter
The silence felt suffocating, but Rayti held her gaze. Beside her, Naoâyri reached out to nestle her hand atop her fingers. âWould they be convinced?â she wondered.
âWe will discuss this. Your offer is appreciated and will be taken into consideration,â Jake nodded. Raytiâs shoulders relaxed, and she smiled in quiet thanks, oblivious to the siblingsâ small grins and looks of amusement from seeing her fervid and curved tail movements. Yet it wasnât a lie that they were shocked by her proposal and even thankful for her stepping up. Knowing her, she couldnât stay away for long, but like a true friend, sheâd always deliver.

âWhatever Iâve done, I did it for themâ
