Hope for the Sarentu
(Character Showcase)
lol I’m always lurking around the tag and posting my screenshots so I thought I’d reveal my Sarentu
So meet Neyti! (And Nimun lol)
As one of the children kidnapped by the RDA and raised in the TAP program, Neyti cuts an imposing figure with her combat ability and her choice to remain almost entirely silent. But don’t let that scare you! Neyti is incredibly willing to help practically anyone solve issues they might have.
After being woken from cryo and being given the freedom to finally live in Pandora, Neyti rarely stays in the same place for a long time; stemming from her fear from living in a single RDA base for years. She debated severing all ties with the resistance but Aysun(my friends na’vi!) managed to convince her to stay. Despite her one-sided strained relationship with the Resistance, she will go out of her way to communicate with her fellow Sarentu. Neyti will rarely talk to someone if they aren’t Sarentu(or a clan leader) but she makes an exception for So’lek and Priya. If she isn’t found near Aysun in the resistance hideout/base, she’s practically impossible to find.
After the end of the current story(to avoid spoilers), Neyti can be found with the Zeswa! Their nomadic nature allows her to live and relearn how to be a na’vi while still traveling.

🗡️ Stop looking for monsters under your bed
you are the monster 🗡️ villain/anti-hero prompts 🗡️ based on MNQN’s “What Have You Become?”
“I don’t know who you are anymore.” “Then you never knew me.”
“Care to watch the show? You can’t stop it, so you might as well enjoy it.” B grinned, sparks in their eyes and the air.
“Oh be quiet dear, this will all be over soon.”
“You say that we’re doing something different, that we’re making the right changes to protect people, but all I see are more corpses.”
“Are you sure this is the right thing to do?”
“Oh god, oh fuck…” A crumpled to their knees, helplessly watching B’s blood pool on the floor. “What did I do?”
“I… I think we’re the monsters here.”
“Did you actually think you could save them?” B laughed in disbelief.
“People die all the time, why would you be any different?”
A looked at the sky, avoiding B’s gaze. “The night is in everyone. Hope dies like stars, happiness crashes like meteors. The night remains.”
“If you do this, heaven will not know your name.” “They will know it, and they will fear it.”
“You asked for a savior, not a saint.”
Their face was carved from the malice of millions.
“They chose me. I must carry out my duty or thousands more will die.”
“That’s enough A! We’ve tried everything, hell, nearly lost everything too. One of us will die if we keep going...” “And we let them win?” “It’s the only way we get a happy ending.”
“I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time.”
“Why are you doing this? What did I ever do to deserve this?” “Don’t be naïve. You know exactly what you’ve done.”
“You should’ve seen the look on their faces. It was delicious.”
A collapsed, thoughts swirling in a mess of confusion and betrayal. Their arm stung. Their bones ached. Their heart hurt. “What happened to you?” “Nothing happened. You became weak.”
“I don’t want to do this. But it’s the only way out.”

Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed
Foreshadowing Ideas
• Character themes/motifs. I’ve heard of one writer who tries to give each character their own theme for similes, metaphors, descriptions, etc so there’s like a theme to the way they’re portrayed. You could use that to foreshadow notable secrets about the character that will later be revealed, or if at any point they’re disguised then you can use that to tip off the reader that they have the same motifs and so might be related/the same person
• Tiny details hidden in lists. Say the MC was trying to work out the identity of a bad guy, who we know was wearing a red shirt on the day of a big bad event. A few chapters later, MC is checking around their best friend’s room to find them, with the place its usual mess with discarded takeaway boxes, the bed unmade, a red shirt left on the floor that could use a good sweep. The red shirt might not click with all the readers, but those who register it upon their first read will eat it up
• Inconsistent behavioural patterns. Once we have a good idea of what a character is like, having them act out of character can set off alarm bells and make us question what’s occurred to make them act this way. Let the other characters register it too, if it’s reasonable that they would, but let them ultimately brush it off quite quickly to keep it subtle. Or just call it right out, whichever you prefer
• Unreliable narrators. Let one character say one thing and a second character say another, even if they both ultimately agree on the same thing but get one or two small details wrong. Ideally do this two or three times in order for the reader to know it’s not just a mistake in the plot but an intentional inconsistency, but even if it’s only done once and it’s taken as a mistake it’ll still slot together like puzzle pieces in the end and they’ll be kicking themself for dismissing it
• In-universe red herrings. If you’re going to add red herrings as foreshadowing, it’s helpful if the red herring aligns with the intentions of someone person aware of the upcoming plot twist who’s trying to control the narrative. Say the plot twist was the reveal of a mysterious character’s identity to be the best friend of the MC, the best friend might have deliberately thrown the MC off their scent by planting suspicions in the MC’s mind that a different character was the mysterious character’s identity all along. This is less about foreshadowing the actual reveal, of course, but rereads will be a punch to the gut when everyone realises that all this misinformation and red herring business came from someone trying to cover their own ass rather than coming from misunderstandings or multiple other random sources
subtle ways to include foreshadowing
one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
the crow rhyme
colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
write with the ending in mind
use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
WEATHER.
do some research into Chekhov's gun
mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
flowers and names with meanings
anything with meanings actually
metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
anyways add anything else in the tags

Giant Azul and his little eels is my new favourite thing. Protective Azul??? Yes??? Imagine he's still protective on land and then remembers everyone fears the tweels. Oh lordy if someone tried to get revenge while they were mers and the twins just hide in Azul's tentacles, and Azul is pissed.
anon.....ANON, I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH- Azul's forgetting that he's a lot smaller and less intimidating on land?? nobody sees him as a threat at first glance (unlike the two skyscrapers at his side)
but in the water you better not mess with his cute little eel pets, else you want to feel the wrath of a giant octopus...
babe wake up Savathun just dropped her worm at daycare
I want somebody to convince me that jayce is not a bad person🔫
I have read your evidence and my conclusion is that your name is Jared, you are 19 and never learned how to read😌👍
Why do you idiots keep defending Viktor?? Because he's cute??
He literally wants to make everyone robots against their fucking will???
He doesn't give a shit about Jayce and is only using him.
Please read the lore before you get your hopes up.
rip to the haunted house workers cause I’m a awkward nightmare with no filter:
1. Throughout the whole 45 minute thing my friend help my arm in fear. Of course the scare actors noticed this and scared her first and THEN turned to me. Except each time I turned around to see what got her and I’d just give the actors(who were all like 5inches from my face) a full 2-3 seconds of eye contact before walking away calmly
2. There were break rooms where we’d be put into lines so the haunted house didn’t get over crowded in certain parts. In the first one one of them was in character(compared to the others in the stops after) and my friend and I were talking about my gay snails. So the guy comes up in between us and asks “anything you wanna share with the class?” And I just enthusiastically start telling him about my snails as he stands like this🧍♀️ before walking away
3. In the chainsaw room I would’ve not run(I did run because my friend pulled my sleeve and I got the memo she wasn’t letting go) because I figured the chainsaw guy(with what I think was a real chainsaw) couldn’t actually touch us. So I was just like “why are we running???” And my friend was like “HOLY SHIT RUN BITCH HES CHASING US”
