actually, do ya know what common Avatar misconception is even more annoying than "they have sex with their hair"?
"they have sex with their tails"
because not only were you not paying attention when they explain what the "hair thing" is (basically a biological USB that lets them neurologically connect to the world around them), you weren't even paying enough attention to realize that the tail and the kuru are two separate body parts
#it baffles me#avatar#avatar 2009#na'vi#the kuru is an extension of the nervous system that grows from the head and is directly connected to the brain#(they braid their hair around it for some extra protection because yeah a tube of nerves with exposed tips at the end is gonna be sensitive#meanwhile the tail is just. a regular tail#it does regular tail things like emote and help with balance#....and neither of them are reproductive organs
