16 - for Moana

16. A tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate.

This scene:

Moana HAS SEEN THINGS. It just always makes me laugh.

Also, Maui does wear something underneath, it's visible in a few scenes in the first movie, so technically there shouldn't be that much for Moana tosee at all. XD

But then someone on the Hooked Wayfinder discord pointed out that sharks have TWO DICKS and ever since I've found this scene even funnier.

Now you know as well.

Moana ENFP [The Inspirer]

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They’re constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP’s life, and because they are focused on keeping “centered”, the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.

Maui ESFP [The Performer]

ESFPs live in the world of people possibility. They love people and new experiences. They are lively and fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and drama in their lives. ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions. 

For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They’re constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people’s senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.

Excuse me, I have just discovered that coconut crabs can apparently curl up into a perfect ball??

What the heck that is too cute, this is unacceptable.

What was your first impression of this character? How about now? Maui and/or Moana

What's something the character has done you can't get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever? Same as above.

If you had the chance to tell the character anything at all, what would it be? (This one's optional if answering the first 2 becomes too much XD. But, same as above.)

25. What was your first impression of Moana and Maui?

I think I had not expected the "tragic backstory" for Maui, which was what pulled me to liking the character. I was kind of scared I wasn't going to like him due to him being voiced by The Rock. (But honestly, the character of Maui has made me appreciate the Rock more too.)

As for Moana, I was drawn to her emotional intelligence and her sense of responsibility. I also like her quirky side.

26. What’s something the character has done you can’t get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?

Maui peeing on Moana's hand has me shaking my head every time. Also him singing to the ancestor's to bring her back. They're on opposite ends of a spectrum. XD

Moana taking on Te Ka all by herself was impressive as hell. Brave girl!

Random question: What would I tell Maui and Moana if I could tell them anything at all?

Don't split up for over half of the next movie, please, stick together, the scenes where it's the two of them together are always most fun. :-)

7, maui

8, moana

7. What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like? (in regards to Maui)

I like that there are quite a few people in the fandom that make Maui demisexual. A demisexual demigod! It's what I prefer doing in my fics too, though I've experimented with a few different sexualities as well. I'm just happy that I'm not the only one that thinks of him that way.

I also have to say - Disney has a tendency to make a lot of their characters ace the past decade or so. Where ye olde Disney (in the 1990s) had all main characters fall in love, new disney seems allergic to love. It is not a surprise that a lot of characters appear ace or demisexual then.

8. What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise? (in regards to Moana)

Gosh, tough one... I struggle to think of anything.

Oh okay! There's one thing that used to piss me off a lot, but which I haven't seen much of lately.

Back in 2016 there were a lot of artists that would draw Moana almost looking white. In some cases I think it came from people that had never drawn a person of color, and in other cases just because people in Asian countries were applying western-indoctrinated beauty standards to Moana. I feel like in the 8 years since, it's gotten a lot better. Which is great. In those arts Maui also sometimes looked much darker than Moana in comparison, which is odd cause this is what they look like in the movie:

If you're like "what do you mean, Jessie, how does the art change their skin tone then?" - well, look at these croc pins. They prove the point. (In a very exaggerated way)

(nice bodysuit, Maui...)
