╰ ౨ৎ PERSONALITY

MBTI: INTJ ❨ The Architect ❩

Personality Traits: As an INTJ, often referred to as ‘The Architect’, Luna embodies a unique blend of intelligence, strategic thinking, and an independent spirit. Her personality reflects a deep understanding of the world around her, often viewing situations through a logical and analytical lens. This makes her an exceptional problem-solver, able to assess challenges and devise effective solutions with ease.

Growing up in Kensington, London, Luna was immersed in a world of creativity and intellect. As an only child of a retired ballerina and an anthropologist, she was exposed to the arts and sciences from a young age. Her mother encouraged her to pursue ballet, starting lessons at the age of three. This early training not only honed her physical abilities but also instilled in her a sense of discipline and dedication. However, Luna often felt the pressure to excel, which led to her developing a strong work ethic and perfectionist tendencies.

Despite her outward confidence, Luna struggled with feelings of isolation. Her intimidating features and talent sometimes made it hard for her to connect with her peers, leading her to seek solace in books, art, and music. These experiences nurtured her introspective side, allowing her to develop a rich inner world filled with creativity and imagination.

During her training period, Luna’s INTJ traits truly shone. Her analytical mind enabled her to quickly grasp complex choreography and vocal techniques, allowing her to excel in evaluations. She was often dubbed the ‘Ace’ among her fellow trainees for her versatility and ability to adapt to various tasks effortlessly. However, this did not come without challenges; she faced moments of great pressure to live up to the title and of self-doubt, particularly in a competitive environment where she felt the weight of expectations.

Luna’s leadership qualities emerged during her training, as she often took the initiative to help fellow trainees improve. Her strategic mindset allowed her to navigate the often chaotic training schedule, and she quickly learned to manipulate situations to her advantage, especially during group activities or evaluations. While she maintained a somewhat aloof demeanor, her ability to connect with her peers through shared interests— such as crafts with Joshua or dance challenges with Hoshi— showed her capacity for forming meaningful relationships.

Now as a world known idol, Luna’s INTJ personality manifests in her strong presence and charisma on stage. She is known for her meticulous approach to performances, carefully analyzing each aspect of her shows to ensure they are executed flawlessly. Her strategic thinking allows her to anticipate audience reactions, making her a master at captivating crowds.

Luna’s intelligence also extends to her interactions with fans and the media. She navigates interviews and public appearances with ease, often using her wit and charm to leave a lasting impression. However, she remains somewhat guarded, finding it challenging to open up fully about her feelings, particularly in the context of her somewhat complicated relationship with Jeonghan.

While she is often seen as intimidating due to her ‘resting bitch face’, those who take the time to know her discover her warmth and loyalty. She is protective of her fellow members, particularly the youngest ones, and values the deep connections she has formed within the group. Luna’s ability to balance her independent spirit with her caring nature makes her a unique and multi-faceted character in the K-Pop industry.

Positive Traits: Independent, disciplined, versatile, charismatic, protective, strategic, analytical, ambitious, intelligent, loyal

Negative Traits: Perfectionist, aloof, stubborn, overly critical, reserved

╰ ౨ৎ HISTORY

1997-2011: Luna was born in Kensington, London, into a well-off family that nurtured her artistic inclinations. Her mother, a retired ballerina, introduced her to the world of dance, leading Luna to begin ballet training at the tender age of three. This early exposure fostered her love for performing arts and instilled a strong work ethic in her. Academically gifted, she attended Southbank International School Kensington, where she excelled in her studies and developed a deep passion for music. Despite her wonderful childhood, Luna often felt isolated due to her personality, seeking solace in her artistic pursuits and immersing herself in the creativity that surrounded her.

2011-2012: At the age of fourteen, Luna made the pivotal decision to move back to Seoul, South Korea, to pursue her dream of becoming an idol. This transition marked a significant change in her life, as she entered the competitive world of K-Pop. She initially trained at YG Entertainment for a year, where she faced the rigors of idol training and learned to adapt to the intense environment. Throughout this time, she was constantly approached by PLEDIS Entertainment, a smaller company that offered her a chance to further her dreams. After much consideration, Luna trusted her instincts and made the bold decision to switch companies, believing it would ultimately lead her closer to her goals. She has mentioned in an interview that her leaving a huge and well known company for a smaller one was one of the riskiest thing she has ever done and yet she does not regret it.

2013-2015: Luna trained for another two years at PLEDIS Entertainment, honing her skills as a lead vocalist in preparation for her debut. During this time, she faced various challenges, including rigorous practice schedules and the pressure to excel among her peers. However, her determination and talent shone through, allowing her to form strong bonds with the other trainees. She was supposed to either debut in a girl group or as a solo artist, however, in 2015, Luna finally achieved her dream of debuting as a member of the co-ed band SEVENTEEN, alongside thirteen talented male members. This milestone marked the beginning of her journey in the spotlight, showcasing her versatility and dedication as an artist.

2015-Present: Since her debut, Luna's life as an idol has been a rollercoaster ride filled with both challenges and triumphs. She has navigated the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, facing public scrutiny and the pressures of fame. Despite these obstacles, the joy of being with her fellow members, whom she considers family, has been a constant source of strength. Together, they have achieved remarkable success, creating unforgettable memories and sharing their passion for music with fans worldwide. Luna's perseverance and commitment to her craft continue to drive her as she embraces the journey of an idol, always striving to achieve her goals and dreams.

ranking all the atp players' chinese characters/kanji tattoos

rankings will be based on the meaning of the word they chose, placement and font. in other words its just me judging people based on my bias

(might not be a complete list if you know anyone else with chinese characters/ kanji tattoos please tell me in the comments!)

matteo berrettini

愛(traditional chinese character/ japanese kanji) - Love

tbh that is a bit of a cliche word but the font has a nice traditional calligraphy done (correctly!) with a brush vibe, and the placement is a bit weird for me but hot (imean its on matteo berrettini) so id say its a good tattoo

2. flavio cobolli

勇氣(traditional chinese) - courage

i actually quite like this choice of word, but the font is like the chinese equivalent font of calibri. or impact at max. imagine tattooing something in those font on yourself 😭 but because this word gives a bit of a ACGN+ vibe and the font also gives some manga text vibes (although! it is not japanese kanji, japanese kanji of this word would be 勇気) so it actually kind of worked for me, and id say its still a nice tattoo. but i dont think he thought this much he probably just chose the first available font lol

3. arthur cazux

战士 (simplified Chinese) - warrior

cool choice of word, but (1) it is quite obvious that this is done by someone who is trying to 'draw' a traditional calligraphy style chinese characters and (2) i think that is a samurai knife behind the characters so it would probably go better with the japanese kanji version 戦士. and also why simplified chinese that is literally the most swagless form of chinese characters????

but still i am very impressed they managed to cover all forms of chinese characters with just 3 of them 😭😭😭 very inclusive

???. Marat Safin (i have so many things to say about this one)

猴 (same character used in all three forms) - monkey

yea his tattoo means monkey. which is supposedly because he was born in 1980, and 1980 is the year of the monkey in the chinese zodiac calendar. at this point you might think oh okay thats cool, but no, because for calculating zodiacs we use the lunar calendar which is typically 1.5 months later than the solar calendar we are all using now and he was bon on the 27th of January of 1980, so his zodiac animal was actually a goat instead of a monkey. big missed opportunity for him, he could have tattooed 'goat' on himself, that would be incredibly narcissist but at least cool

[callmemaeverick]

TL:DR. A rant about Gabe/Peter’s Tattoos

Whoever’s decision it was to leave Gabe’s tattoos on for Peter deserves all the happiness in the world okay! I’m not really a sleeve-tattoo kind of girl but I love Gabe’s so much!! It was the first thing that caught me onto the show when I saw someone made a Tiktok of it.

And! And it’s not the normal cop sleeve tattoo we normally see painted onto these guys yknow! It’s normally a cross, some skulls, flowers, Chinese/Japanese calligraphy etc. But Gabe’s is like a mandala blooming from the inside of his elbow and going up his biceps. There’s also some geometric triangles going down his forearms that reminded me of shark teeth motifs. (Like Jason Momoa’s)

Then theres the simple one at the top of his spine. Thats my favorite cuz it’s hidden most of the time. I hope it has meaning cuz it’s so cool.

I also like that they didn’t use it as like a thirst trap as much. There was the part where they showed the spine one in Ep1, but that’s mostly to show the scar (AND I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT SCAR) But for the rest of them, they were just there.

They painted Peter as this boyscout, never disobeying, never step a toe out of line. So the tattoo was something unexpected. But they don’t shove it into our faces. It was just all of a sudden there, in Ep6, when he got patched up by Rose. I LOVED that reveal.

Anyway, I love tattoos, if you can’t tell, and I love men with tattoos. So, sorry if this rant got long.

Ps: Im writing this as im writing a monster of a reader fic. Im almost done, so stay tuned lol.

Pps: check out my post after this one!! I mightve discovered that the scar. THAT SCAR, might be real also

[the-travelling-witch]

Miss Holly! I know you have Said before who does what in the shop, Scara and Xiao are piercers (and tattoo artist) but what would aether, venti, and heizou (forgive my spell my sweet flirty boy) do?

What are they more used/comfortable with

And what would be their tattoo styles

i think xiao, scara, kazuha and heizou to a degree would do most of the tattoo work, though it also heavily depends on what kind of tattoo the client wants of course; still, they all know their way around a tattoo gun and a piercing needle, so you’re in good hands either way!!

xiao and scara are probably the most versatile; i’ve discussed scara’s style before and xiao’s is similar in a way, though there is a little more “lightness” to his work; he’s very comfortable with (what in our world would be chinese) calligraphy but also very symbolic and artistic pieces of varying sizes

kazuha does all things florals, mostly specialising in fine line tattoos and almost bringing his pieces to life with crazy details; there could be five clients asking for the same flower tattoo and kazuha would manage to come up with five different versions that each perfectly fit the person getting them; he and heizou also each have a very pretty style of (japanese) calligraphy that’s in high demand

speaking of heizou, he likes working on all things geometric; it’s very precise and his talent in getting lines perfectly straight and connecting them in just the right angle is very astounding; the others have joked about that he could tattoo a building blueprint on someone with perfect measurements… and yeah, he probably could

venti is a little unpredictable in his sketches and mainly draws whatever catches his attention but still managing to put his own spin on it; he’s very good at whimsy sigilism tattoos, always making sure the tattoo is coherent in all its playful whimsy

our colourful sunshine, aether, fittingly works with a lot of colour; most stunning are perhaps his watercolour tattoos and he’s made a bit of a name for himself in the community since joining the group; they all feel very natural in the way they seem to flow so freely, even if he’s still a little shy about displaying his work in the shop

[nyktomorphia]

I've been dabbling with my American McGee-ised Phantom Tollbooth concepts again recently (see tag for "Senseless Cities") and realised I never really did anything yet with the Shortest Tallest Fattest Thinnest Man

I pretty much immediately decided that because his role in the book is to make a point to Milo about how putting things in perceived social categories impedes actually understanding them (and I used to wonder why I latched onto this story before I came out), my version is obviously also the Womanest Man, the Smartest Fool, etc, and after several sketches they're turning out to also be the Normiest Punk

(...looks quite a bit younger here than I intended them to)

I especially enjoy the idea that they have a stereotypical Meaningful Chinese Calligraphy tattoo - but just the one, someplace tasteful and easily-covered - but instead of "loyalty" or "dream" or something it just means "ordinary" and this was fully intentional

WORDS: 1060

“Hey!” Isabelle announced herself, coming into the girls’ shared hospital wearing a bubble backpack. When she turned to close the door, I saw Mittens looking like a happy kitty in a cat backpack.

“Mitties!” squealed little girl as she led the charge up to the family nanny.

MEOW Mittens perped as Primrose appeared from behind the motherly cat, chittering as Isabelle set the backpack down and opened it.

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY…” screamed the babies as they swarmed the Ratajczyk pets with gentle hands and excited eyes. Mittens leaned in deeper to the scratches and sweet words, her green eyes closing as a loud purr erupted out of her.

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR…

“MITTIES IS BAE!” little girl declared as Primrose was busy exploring the hospital room.

“MITTIES IS BAE!” the babies repeated, clearly agreeing with little girl.

Peter had been taking a sip from a water bottle but had no choice but to spit out his drink from roaring with laughter at little girl’s cult of babies. He wheezed and coughed as he reveled in the babies’ adorableness.

“Oh my babies,” he gasped as a knock at the door turned out to be Ken Anderson carrying two bouquets of flowers- one of pink baby roses, blue violet petals and white baby breaths and was wrapped with purple paper and the other was a gathering of wildflowers and was wrapped with pink paper.

“Hihi mama and papa and Ratajczyk cubs!” he sang out as he moved across the room to settle the flowers onto the windowsill, where there were vases of flowers as provided by Type O Negative fans and PeteClaire shippers. I had posted to my socials and had asked that flowers be sent to the nurses and other patients instead of to us. The next day, the nurses’ station was overflowing with flowers, to which they had all thanked me.

“Hihi, Mr. Ken!” Elizabeth still wasn’t able to open her mouth fully, and was now receiving speech therapy with someone who would come and take her out on walks around the hospital. The girl had taken to bouncing a tennis ball while walking, a tick for calming her anxiety, or so she told me.

“Hihi Elizabeth!” The corners of Ken Anderson’s eyes crinkled. “How are you doing?”

Isabelle was the only person at home right now, and she would let Daisy out back to do her doggy business and feed the Ratajczyk pets. She came in every other day with the mail that she would pick up at the family PO box.

“I’m doing good, Mr. Ken!” The entire family was taking two weeks off from rehearsals for The Nightmare Before Christmas- a Broadway Musical in order for the two eldest girls to heal enough before returning to the Paper News Theater for run throughs for the newest Tim Burton musical. “Katie and I composed a song together- it’s called The Waltz of the Pumpkin King and His Ragdoll Queen.”

“Do you want to hear it?” Katie asked from where she was working on her calligraphy for her Chinese class on her bed. “There’s a piano in the library just down the hall, and Isabelle brought Lizz Lizz’s Celtic harp with her for her to practice on!”

“If it’s alright with your parents, then of course!” Ken Anderson responded with, glancing back over to where I was hosting Primrose in my lap as I knitted a Vinnland flag blankie.

“It’s alright with me!” I hummed as I worked peacefully. “Peter took the babies out to go explore the garden, so I’m the one holding the fort down here.”

MEOW Mittens meowed loudly as she darted out from underneath Elizabeth’s bed, clearly experiencing a case of the kitty zoomies.

“Okie dokie mommy!” Katie chirped as she got out of bed, taking her IV drip pole with her as she and her sister pattered out of the room with Ken Anderson close on their heels.

“Go straight to the sunroom and then back again- no detours!” I called out as a nurse entered the room. Primrose and Mittens both knew to hide whenever hospital employees would stop by.

“Hello, where are the girls?”

“They took Ken Anderson to the sunroom to show him a song that they wrote,” I replied, my focus on my knitting project.

“Ah, fun! Are all of your kids musically gifted?”

“Well, so far, only Elizabeth and Katie show an interest in music and play instruments,” I told the nurse as I got started on another row. “Little girl and Baby Tommy are beginning to show interests in what brings them joy- I’m thinking of enrolling little girl into gymnastics and Baby Tommy seems to want to dance with big sister Elizabeth Drew. However, the dance studio where she is currently enrolled at only accepts students aged five and over, so we’re going to need to wait until he turns five in a few months.”

“Neat! Well then, if you could excuse me to go and change out the girls’ IV drips…”

[rggtattoos]

Hello! Do you have any headcanons for Makoto Makimura's possible tattoo (let's imagine for a minute that she somehow got involved into yakuza organisation)?

This was an easier request I could do quickly while working on a much bigger one!

After a bit of consideration, I decided to give her a bat, not only because it links her to her brother she longed to reconnect with, but also could be her reclaiming and re-framing her past. If she were to get a bat, I think it would be closer to the traditional Chinese 5 blessings bat. The bats represent the 5 blessings of longevity, wealth, health, love of virtue, and a peaceful death. These are graceful, stylized creatures with wings like the stroke of a calligraphy brush. Makoto has already proven herself to be willing to face fear head-on in 0, and I imagine if she got directly involved with the yakuza this would only increase. Taking the bat as her own would cement it as representing her brother and family and conquering her trauma.

For a flower I went with edelweiss, which represents "courage" and "precious memories" in Japanese flower language. I thought this would reflect Makoto's resilience as well as a tribute to all the important people she has lost.

Character bio of the Asian Pasifika demigod and Afro Latine Native alien hybrid superhero main character part 6:

Tattoos:

Their tattoos are divided on whether they appear in their regular human form, divine form, or alien hybrid form. Their tattoos are divided on whether they appear on their masc form, femme form, genderless form, or androgynous form. 

He/she/they have black and white and colored geometrical sacred geometry tattoos on his/her/their body as an alien hybrid

He/she/they have colored holographic alien calligraphy and ethereal demigod and later divine deity characters on his/her/their body. These are holographic alien tattoos that glow yellow, red, green, blue, purple, white, & black depending on what cybernetic implant and bionic enhancement powers they are using as a bionic and cyborg transhuman. 

These are ethereal divine tattoos that glow yellow, red, green, blue, & white depending on what divine elemental power of divine fire, magma, water, ice, wood, nature, plant, earth, rock, metal, storm, lightning, thunder, sand, fog, steam, & air he/she/they are using as a divine demigod and later god/goddess.

He/she/they have colored holographic cyberpunk science fiction inspired and colored ethereal magical high fantasy inspired tattoos on his/her/their body as an alien hybrid superhuman and demigod metahuman that glow gold, silver, sapphire, amethyst, crimson, emerald, & obsidian.

He/she/they have black and white and colored modern and traditional East Asian Japanese and East Asian Chinese tattoos on his/her/their neck, chest, back, arms, & legs. He/she/they have tattoos of Fudo Myoo, Fujin and Raijin, a Buddha, a phoenix or fenghuang, a dragon, a tiger, a snake, a samurai, an oni, a kitsune nine tailed fox, a kirin, a fu dog or guardian lion, a koi fish, turtles, & lotus flowers. These tattoos are colored gold, crimson, sapphire, jade, amethyst, white, & black. 

His/her/their body from their face with facial tattoos, neck tattoos, & upper body (of their chest and back) have traditional South American Indigenous and traditional Indigenous Pasifika tattoos. They have tattoos on their arms from their upper arms (from their shoulder to their elbow) and their lower arms (from their elbows to the fingertips of their clawed hands with opposable thumbs). They also have tattoos on the lower body of their upper legs (from their thighs to their knees) and their lower legs (from their knees to their toes to their clawed feet with opposable toes). 

Their entire body is covered in traditional black and white and colored Embera and Baniwa Indigenous Colombian and Chorote Indigenous of Bolivia and Argentina Amerindian of South America tattoos. 

Their entire body is covered in traditional colored and black and white Polynesian Hawaiian, Samoan, Marquesan, and Tongan Indigenous Pasifika tattoos. These black and white traditional Indigenous Pasifika tattoos are ethereal and glow silver, gold, cerulean, jade, scarlet, purple, & black as a Pasifika demigod and later divine god/goddess.

Samoan style features rectilinear, geometrical, and repetitive tattoos. They are highly symmetrical body sides. Hawaiian style tattoos feature highly geometric tattoos that are often based on repetition. The male version can include solid areas while the female version is much lighter.  Tongan style tattoos are often tattooed from the waist down to the knees in geometric patterns of repeated triangle motifs, bands, and sections of solid black. 

Tonga has some of the oldest evidence of Polynesian tattoos based on the fact it was settled first by the Austronesians before the other Polynesian islands. Not only are they some of the oldest but they have a distinct tattooing style compared to other Polynesian people. Tongan warriors are often tattooed from the waist down to the knees in geometric patterns of repeated triangle motifs, bands, and sections of solid black. For the Tongan people the tattoo carried profound social and cultural significance. Women would have similar designs, but with more delicate floral patterns on their hands and lower parts. 

Hawai’i was settled around 800 years ago. The tattoo traditions there were similar to the full-body Marquesan tattoos. However, the Hawaiian Kanaka Maoli quickly developed their own unique variations through designs. One characteristic of Hawaiian tattoos is the asymmetry across both sides of the body. As the right side of the body was a solid black and gave spiritual projection to their wearers. This practice was called Kakay I ka uhi.

Historically there was no writing in Polynesian culture. So the Polynesian’s used tattoo art that was full of distinctive signs to express their identity and personality. Tattoos would indicate status in a hierarchical society as well as sexual maturity, genealogy, and ones rank within the society. Nearly everyone in ancient Polynesian society was tattooed. It was in Tonga and Samoa that the Polynesian tattoo developed into a highly refined art. 

In ancient Samoa, tattooing also played a hugely important role in both religious rituals and warfare. The tattoo artist held a hereditary and by the same vein. It is a very highly privileged position. He usually tattooed groups of six to eight (usually men) during a ceremony attended by friends and relatives. The Samoan warrior’s tattoo began at the waist and extended to just below the knee.

These were also covered in magical esoteric or arcane and divine demigod tattoos that blazed crimson, amethyst, sapphire, gold, and silver as a mahu demigod of mist and fog who was later bestowed full godhood, divinity, & immortality as a god/goddess of storm.

Depending on where a tattoo was placed on the body, the wearer would be calling for a particular spiritual boom to help lead them through life.

The head is said to be the contact point to Rangi so it is related to themes such as spirituality, knowledge, wisdom, and intuition.

They were on his/her/their chest because in the Polynesian culture Polynesian tattoos on the chest represent kindness, honesty, honor, & resolution. They were on his/her/their head because in the Polynesian culture Polynesian tattoos on the head represent spirituality, knowledge, wisdom, & intuition. He/she/they had Polynesian tattoos on his/her/their arms. He/she/they had Polynesian tattoos on his/her/their upper arms from his/her/their shoulders to his/her/their elbow to represent strength and valor and they relate to people such as warriors, warchiefs, & chieftains. 

He/she/they wear it as a child of a chieftain and warchief who is next in line. He/she/they had Polynesian tattoos on his/her/their lower arms from their forearms to their fingertips of his/her/their clawed hands with opposable thumbs to represent creativity, creation and making things. This area is from just above the navel to the chest and is related to themes such as generosity, sincerity, honor, and reconciliation. Some may have noticed that this area is placed directly between Rangi and Papa, in order to have harmony between them balance must exist in this area.

Lower body. This area goes from the thighs to the navel. This part of the body directly relates to life’s energy, courage, procreation, independence, and sexuality. In particular, thighs relate to strength and marriage. The stomach or mid area is where mana originates from. The navel represents independence due to the symbolic meaning associated with the cutting of the umbilical cord. Independence is a trait that is valued highly in Polynesian society however individualism is not. All people depending on the sea for sustenance know the importance of sociality and socializing. Polynesian people built their culture around this. Family thus becomes a larger group of people that includes all relatives, friends and neighbors. All of which play an important role.

Joints often represent union and contact. If we look at the body as a reflection of society. We can understand why joints, being the points where different bones meet represent different degrees of relation between individuals. The farther from the head (the chief of the family) the greater the distance in kinship, or the lower the status. Ankles and wrists represent a tie and bracelets placed there often symbolizes commitment. Knees are often related to chiefs (to kneel before them). He/she/they were High King/High Queen and Chieftain and Warchief of several kingdoms as a demigod metahuman and alien hybrid superhuman.

The same word is used to refer both to leg and foot. Legs and feet represent moving forward, transformation, and progress. They are also related to separation and choice. The feet, being our contact with Papa, Mother Nature, are also related to concreteness and material matters.

Human figures otherwise known as enata in Marquesan language represent men, women, and sometimes gods. They can be placed within a tattoo to represent people and their relations. If they are placed upside down then they can be used to represent defeated enemies. A common motif is an enata symbol which is the depiction of a human figure. If this symbol has a row of people, this means that the ancestors are watching over the wearer. Over-stylised enata joined together in a row of people holding hands form the motif called ani ata, which translates to “cloudy sky”. Polynesian languages and a row of enata in a semi-circular form often represent the sky as well as the ancestors guarding their descendants. This symbolizes elders, ancestors, and family deities.

He/she/they had Polynesian tattoos of complex shark teeth. Shark teeth or niho mano deserve a space of their own. Sharks are one of the favorite forms that aumakua choose to appear to man. They represent defense, leadership, power, & ferocity. However they are also symbols of flexibility in many cultures.  It was fitting for the strike team commander of the Elites, Paragons, & Sentinels superhero conglomerates that defend the planet, star systems, galaxy, & universe. Another common motif is the triangle shark teeth band which means protection, guidance, and strength. 

A spearhead means the wearer is a strong warrior. He/she/they had Polynesian tattoos of a pattern of spearheads. Another typical symbol that is used to represent warrior nature is the spear. Fitting for a former super soldier who fought since he/she/they were a child as a former demigod metahuman and alien hybrid superhuman child soldier. Spear-heads are very symbolic in relation to sharp items too and they can be used to represent the sting of some animals. 

He/she/they had Polynesian stylized tattoos of the ocean. The ocean is a second home to Polynesian people and the place of rest when they leave for their last voyage. Coincidentally, turtles are said to join the deceased guiding them to their destinations. So sometimes the ocean can be used to symbolize death and the beyond. Since the ocean is the primary source of food it is no wonder it impacts so much tradition and myth. All the creatures living in the ocean are associated with several meanings usually mutated from their characteristic traits and habits. 

The ocean and the sea can be represented by waves. The stylizations of the ocean can often represent ideas such as life, change and continuity through change. Waves can also be used to represent the world beyond or the place where the departed go and rest on their last voyage. An ocean design with a curved circle is significant because it represents the second home of Polynesian people. The sea is regarded as the place people go to rest and die. When the ocean motif is part of a tattoo, it represents life, change, and progress through change.

Francisco/Francisca he/she/they had a Polynesian tattoo of a Tiki. One meaning of the word tiki is figure. So tiki is the name given to human-like figures that usually represent demigods contrasting to atua who frequently materialize to men under the shape of animals such as lizards. The tiki can also represent sanctified ancestors, priests, warchiefs, & chieftains who became demigods after their passing. They denote protection, fertility and they serve as sentinels. By stylizing the figure over and over there has been a simplified version that has been reached. 

This is called the brilliant eye where the eyes, nostrils and ears appear to be the prominent elements. Tiki figures can be portrayed in a front view. Sometimes with their tongue stretched out as a symbol of defiance to enemies. The tiki design is a famous Polynesian tattoo design that comes in the form of human-like faces. They are often received as semi-gods or deified ancestors, such as chiefs or priests. This symbolizes past kings, queens, chieftains, & warchief in his/her/their family, clan, & nation. They are symbols of protection, fertility and are guardians over the wearers.

He/she/they had a Polynesian tattoo of a turtle. The turtle or honu is another significant creature throughout all Polynesian cultures and has been connected with several meanings. The first being the fact that turtles represent health, fertility, longevity, foundation, tranquility, & rest. The word hono, meaning turtle in Marquesan language has other meanings which include things such as joining and stitching together families and representing the idea of harmony. 

Contrary to what is sometimes believed, turtles drawn upwards do not imply that they are taking the soul of a dead person into the other world. To represent this, a human figure must be placed on or near the shell of the turtle. The turtle, which means good health, fertility, long life, peace, and rest. When this symbol is repeated, it hopes to bring families together.

He/she/they had a Polynesian tattoo of a lizard. Lizards and geckos are often called mo’o or moko and they play a significant role in Polynesian myth. Gods (atua) and minor spirits often appeared to men in the form of lizards and this may explain why the stylized element used to represent the lizard is very similar to the stylized symbol used to represent man. Lizards are very powerful creatures that bring good luck and communicate between the humans and the gods and who can access the invisible world. On the other hand they can also bring death and bad omens to people who are disrespectful. The lizard, which signifies spirits and gods bridging the mortal and spirit worlds. They are all-in-all good luck charms but might lead to ill-omens if disrespected.

He/she/they had a Polynesian tattoo of a stingray. Stingray tattoos come in several variations and styles. So this image can hold symbolic meanings. The stingray has the ability to hide in the underwater sands mainly from sharks and is able to cover up with sand and lay still. Most sharks can sense prey in the sand based on movement but for the most part the stingray is able to hide. For this reason its image is classed as a symbol of protection. 

Other themes that go hand in hand with the sting-ray image are adaptation, gracefulness, diplomacy, danger, dexterity, speed, & covertness. Fitting for someone who is a shapeshifter, metamorph, & changeling. The tattoos themselves are imbued with divine power as a water demigod and they boost their hydrokinesis as a demigod of the seas and give them command over the seas and aquatic life.

Body art in the volcanic Marquesas dates back to at least the late 1500s. Sailors traveling to the islands over the centuries have helped spread the popularity of tattoos worldwide.

Marquesas, tattoos go beyond ornamental gestures, communicating a specific societal status, paying tribute to legendary heroes or sacred locations, and signifying the offer of protection or fertility.

It’s typical for Marquesan body art to cover the face or head. They stretch all the way down to the feet. In elaborate designs made up of meaningful spirals, bullseyes, crossed lines, geometric shapes, animals, and thick bands of ink alternating with decorative borders. But while the islands' tattoos come in all kinds of styles. Marquesas tradition stands out for its immensely intricate patterns and darkly shaded designs that can take a lifetime to complete.

Around the islands, getting a specific kind of tattoo often depended on the role the wearer plays in the local society. For example, warriors might wear spiral shapes around their eyes and chiefs might get spirals on their cheeks or thighs. Women traditionally received tattoos on their right hands by puberty, to signal they were ready to prepare certain foods and to apply coconut oil to the bodies of the deceased. 

Members of certain tribal communities often chose their own distinct patterns. As extensive tattooing can be long, painful and costly. The inking might signal courage, endurance, wealth or even age. Since locals would typically add to their tattoos throughout their lives.

Getting a tattoo in the traditional Marquesan culture wasn't just a matter of making an appointment with an artist and laying still for a few hours. The elaborate, weeks-long or even months-long ritual of receiving that first set of tattoos often involved the entire community. In wealthy families, the firstborn son (opou) began at adolescence. Kicking off an expensive process that started with building a special house on the family’s property for the tattoo artists to live and work in. Also cooking for them during their entire stay.

The accolades told through traditional divine alien and futuristic tattoos and facepaint for the Asian Pasifika/Afro Latine Native main character as a changeling and shapeshifter has ever changing tattoos that correlate with divine, martial, spiritual, & military accomplishments, deeds, accolades, and achievements. 

They have scientific achievements as a scientist, inventor, and engineer in magical and alien archeology, anthropology, biology, chemistry, marine biology, paleontology, psychology, sociology, and zoology. They have artistic accolades as an artist and creator. 

They have martial accomplishments as a warrior trained in unarmed combat, ranged weaponry, and melee weaponry. They have military accolades as an officer, soldier, & commander who was a former super soldier in the space military of the federation of the Milky Way, Andromeda, and Zenith galaxy. Heroic and villainous accomplishments as a superhero, antihero, and villain at different points because of free will, necessity, or mind control and being a commander of a cosmic superhero conglomerate. 

They have leadership deeds as a high king/high queen of a federation of kingdoms and chieftain and war chief of Mu or Hawaiki that’s like Themyscira, Asgard, or Wakanda but for indigenous pasifika demigods and alien hybrid superheroes. They have spiritual accolades as a mahu fakaleiti pasifika third gender elder and healer for clan and nation. 

They have divine accolades as someone born a demigod bestowed divinity as a hero and champion and later ascended to titanancy because *** (spoken in celestial speech to hide from mortal tongue). They have accolades as an alien hybrid. Demigod and alien hybrid as a metahuman and superhuman so long lifespan if not for scientific advances that prologues lifespans for centuries for regular humans too. They were not immortal and wouldn’t choose to be either before ascending to godhood and titanancy that is. God killing weapons exist as well as weapons that can negate powers of metahumans and super humans. Has died before when was still mortal as a demigod several times. 

The Afro Latine main character is also connected through their piercings and regalia including jewelry like magically and futuristically influenced rings, bracelets, necklaces, and headdresses. A cyborg or bionic have futuristic holographic tattoos to reflect certain accolades as a transhuman that a non augmented futuristic human has. It’s embedded underneath the skin as opposed to those that are just on the skin of regular humans. Their tattoos reflect not only their accolades but maybe from a specific region that they’re from. 

They have bionic implants and cybernetic enhancements where the cybernetic and bionic parts open up and are upgradable and customizable. They have a bionic arm and cybernetic eye as someone who’s a former super soldier war veteran. They have a military grade version for combat vs regular grade bionic arm and eye for regular things for accessibility as a visible disabled person. Tattoos and specialized parts are from certain regions or companies. Prestige parts that are granted only after winning a contest or completing a mission. The main character has opposing versions of traditional native tattoo accolades across their body as a creator, healer, diplomat, liberator, artist, destroyer, killer, conqueror, etc that they both feel happy, angry, and sad over. 

Part of the bad was when they were forced against their will to become a child soldier. After being captured by metahuman and superhuman traffickers after they were blackbirded from the now independent Hawaiian kingdom by the earth colonial military. Part of the bad when they were mind controlled to become a super villain or forced by circumstances to become an antihero. All of these fit on their body as a shapeshifter because their form changes if they are in alien hybrid form demigod form as well as kane masc form, vahine femme form, mahu/fakaleiti third gender form, or genderless or androgynous gender form to reflect their gender and gender identity. 

Jewelry: 

Ryuu/Haruka wore traditional Samoan, Tongan, Marquesan, & Hawaiian headdresses, necklaces, bracelets, rings, & belts as jewelry. 

He/she/they had a Toki (Adze) Polynesian Maori necklace. The Toki (Adze) is the Maori tribal emblem of strength. This symbol resembles resolve, control, power, focus, & honor.” “Its shape represents an axe head. The Toki (adze) was used by the Maori as an everyday working tool for shaving and chipping. Sometimes it was used as a weapon. Unique complex adzes were by tradition carved in stone and passed down as an heirloom. The Toki had much meaning to the Maori created from stone or greenstone. It was a vital tool for survival and day to day life of a Maori tribe. 

So this was given to him/her/them by an Atlantean King and Polynesian Maori Indigenous Pasifika Chieftain and Warchief means a lot to him/her/them. That’s the reason the Maori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This design represents the Toki which was used to shape the great canoes. The toki was also used to cut and work timber for the fortresses where the Maori lived. It was such an important tool in Maori life that it became regarded as a symbol of power, authority & good character. It was given to them by the King and Chieftain and Warchief as a sign of respect as he/she/they are a King/Queen and Chieftain and Warchief. It is also the mark of a craftsman and an artist. 

He/she/they also have a necklace of Hei-Matau (Fish Hook) given to them by an Atlantean Queen and Polynesian Maori Indigenous Pasifika Chieftain and Warchief. These very stylized fish hooks represent power, affluence, wealth, fertility. It also represents vast reverence for the sea. This makes sense since he/she/they are the last scion and lord/lady of his/her/their ancient and powerful house. It also is said to provide good luck and safety when traveling over water so is often worn by travelers. The Hei-Matau are also symbols of authority and power which are held in great veneration by the Maori people. They were used as a practical tool for fishing and were often adorned as a sign of admiration for the creatures of the sea. 

There are many styles of Hei-Matau from the true hook designs to the more decorative styles which became cherished heirlooms for generations after. Initially the Maori have been fishermen. Their main food source was the sea so a fish hook of premium was a valued item to possess. Worn around the neck the hook became a symbol of wealth, abundance, good health, authority, & power. As well as a mark of reverence for the sea and its life in it. It is also believed to provide good luck and protection while traveling over water. The Maori fish hook symbol refers to being reliant on the sea for their food gathering. The matau is a talisman for good luck. 

He/she/they also had a bracelet of whales, dolphins, & turtles. The ocean has always been the prevailing force for the Maori people who traveled colossal distances in their long canoes and lived on the gift of the tropical waters. They had a great respect for the creatures on the sea and in particular dolphins and whales. The whale with its immense size and evident intelligence played an essential part in the traditions of the Maori people. 

They were often represented as an example of family love with mother and calf always side by side and touching at every opportunity. Beached whales were cherished as gifts from the gods. They were chiefly valued for the bone which after numerous years of curing was used to carve elaborate jewelry and art works that were frequently passed down for many generations. The whale is the most important animal in the life of the Maori. Besides speed and strength the whale also represents success, confidence, and sensitivity. It represents the bond between animal and human. 

A dolphin (Papahu) is an emblem of liveliness, harmony, & camaraderie. The turtle is the mark of a navigator. The dolphin is another Maori symbol of protection. Schools of dolphins were reported to attack sharks circling around canoes. The dolphin shows sympathy with the sea and nature in general. It resembles a free spirit. Nowadays the dolphin represents protection on all types of travelers. So it is another Maori symbol of protection. 

He/she/they had the jewelry of the symbol of the Koropepe (The Mythical Eel/Fish). The Koropepe is an eel-type fish and a legendary guardian. It is a symbol of new beginnings and youth, prosperity, & wealth. The koropepe is thought to characterize the curled eel which was one of the main protein sources hundreds of years back in Maori history. Many koropepe have a coiled appearance with bird-like heads. These heads are said to possess its divine power. The design is a relatively modern form as no ancient examples have been found. 

He/she/they had jewelry of the White Heron bird (Kotuku). Kotuku is the Maori word for the rare White Heron bird. It is a symbol of status, purity, & individuality. One of the greatest compliments among the Maori was to liken someone to Kotuku. For it signifies everything extraordinary and gorgeous. It is sometimes referred to as a darling or treasure. The kotuku is one of New Zealand’s rarest birds and is held in chiefly high regard in Maori mythology. As with other birds the kotuku stands for the connection between the afterlife. 

He is a messenger of the spirit world. The kotuku represents everything pure and beautiful in Maori legends and oratory. Most importantly the kotuku represents all the people of this land. The kotuku is a traveler who came to this beautiful country and chose to stay. There are more Maori bird symbols such as the huia, kaka, & torea. 

He/she/they finally wear a bracelet of the huia bird of which the long feathers were used as hair adornments by Maori chiefs and notables. As King/Queen, Chieftain and Warchief, & as President/Madam President who is the ruler and sovereign of a few countries on several alien planets, moons, & asteroids they wear the long feathers of this Maori bird in their headdress. Intricately carved wooden treasure boxes used to store the huia bird feathers are a characteristic form of Maori art work. 

He/she/they had jewelry of a Tiki. One of the most fashionable and most identifiable Maori symbols. The Tiki is symbolic for the whole Polynesian hemisphere. It is the insignia of Polynesian cultures from Hawaii to Tahiti, to Samoa, & to New Zealand. According to folklore tiki was the first man on earth who originated from the stars. According to myth tiki was the first mortal person who created the first woman after his image. The literal meaning of the tiki symbol is disputed. There are several opinions but the most acknowledged are that tiki stands for fertility. 

The regularly occurring hands placed on the groin are a direct reference to fertility. Tiki is a good luck charm meant to keep evil spirits away. Other theories state that tiki represents the human embryo. The Maori god Tiki who was considered responsible for the creation of life. The Tiki is a very primordial symbol and is by far the least understood so there are a number of legends about its meaning. Some say he came from the stars and that he was the first man of the world. He is also often depicted with webbed feet which suggest a strong connection to the creatures of the sea. Tiki was respected as the instructor of all things and the wearer of this symbol is therefore seen to possess clarity of thought, devotion, great inner knowledge and strength of character. The Tiki is regarded as a good luck charm when worn and in some areas is also regarded as a fertility symbol. 

He/she/they have a necklace of Koru (Spiral). Koru is the Maori word for “bight” or “loop” and refers to new shoots of the silver fern. The spiral shaped koru design is derived from this unfolding silver fern frond.” The circular movement towards an inner coil refers to going back to the beginning. The unfurling frond itself is symbolic of new life, new beginnings, optimism, precision, regeneration, a new start, awakening, personal growth, purity, nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of innovation, & tranquility. 

The koru design is repeatedly worn as a Maori necklace but present in many cultural expressions. It is a fundamental symbol in Maori art forms. Both on itself as well as integrated in more intricate designs such as carvings and Maori facial tattoos. The spiral is a Koru that represents the fern frond as it opens bringing new life and purity to the world. It also represents peace, tranquility, & spirituality as well as a strong sense of regrowth or new beginnings. The Koru is also often associated with nurturing so when interlocked with others is frequently used to represent the strength and purity of a loving relationship within a family. 

He/she/they had a necklace of a circle (Porowhita). The closed circle is said to embody the circle of life which has no beginning or end. It also tells of the stars and planets which are part of the circle of life and contain the information of our origins. It is often used to enclose other elements such as the Koru linking love and new life or new beginnings with the circle of life. 

For an artist like Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith the circle represents the relationship or oneness between the artist and his/her/their craft bringing together head, hand, & heart. The closed circle with a hole in between represents the never-ending circle of life and nature. It also stands for the belief that life has no beginning or end. Both the spiral and the circle are also described as a metaphor for a never-ending journey of discovery and rediscovery. The journey itself with its aboriginal or Indigenous perspectives and sense of direction is the most important act of cultural convalescence. It reflects the importance of being on the move in the present while realizing that the path of tradition is a two-way track. It points concurrently in the present, towards the past, & towards the future. 

He/she/they have a necklace of a twist. The twist with the interweave form represents the many paths of life and love and as such is regarded as the primordial infinity symbol. The single twist or Pikorua (Single Twist) in particular shows the union together of two people for eternity even though they sometimes move away from each other on their own journeys. They will always come together again sharing their lives and blending to become one. 

It tells how the strength of the bond of friendship, devotion, & love will last forever. The Maori single twist symbol consists of a closed loop with three knots. Pikorua as the Maori name this symbol refers to eternal emerging paths in life. The double and triple twists have a comparable meaning but refer more to the fusion of two peoples or cultures rather than individuals. They also refer to the three baskets of knowledge. They were given an eight shaped single twist when he/she/they as someone polyam, queer, & trans married his/her/their Indigenous Pasifika wives. 

They were married by their childhood friends, two Polynesian Indigenous Pasifika Atlantean hybrids. These Polynesian Indigenous Pasifika people who married them were European British Polynesian Maori Chieftain and Warchief and Atlantean King Arapeta William Rewi and his wife a Polynesian Indigenous Pasifika Atlantean hybrid. It is something that Alexander/Alexandria and his/her/their Polynesian, Micronesian, & Melanesian wives, partners, & spouses treasure, especially after being married for decades, centuries, & even millennia as metahumans and superhumans in a polyamorous union. The eight-shaped single twist denotes the power of the bond between two people, their loyalty & friendship. It signifies the sacred merger of two people for eternity. Although people will take different paths in their lives they will always be connected and will return to each other. The twist is a powerful statement of loyalty, friendship, and love. 

Teardrop or roimata designates healing and console, hope, & optimistic energy. It is often called a comfort stone. The drop is a stylized version of the toki and signifies strength, power, pride, & independence. The core meaning of the teardrop is speed and strength. It indicates the support often shown by dolphins and whales to humans in anguish. So therefore, it is a symbol of protection but also of speed, power, & compassion. It represents the bond between animal and human. It expresses respect for the sea and nature. It is also a good luck charm providing safe passage over water. 

They have rings, bracelets, & necklaces made out of magical wood and alien metal.

Cringing like mad that kid (notorious annoying person) just slapped on a kanji on their Japanese Calligraphy chow in their ugly ass redesign like the way white people tattoo random Chinese words on themselves. Thankfully though, it has been traded and the owner reverted it back to its old and much better design. *Although the new owner seems to have given the Japanese calligraphy chow a Chinese name so we can't fucking win, huh.

Here's a tip for y'all OC makers: If you don't want to make an Asian person like me cringe then don't put whole text on your designs unless you really know what you're doing, please.

if i have to see one more green fucker named midori–

[polwarth]

New tattoo! This is number 3 for me, and is fresh enough there’s still some blood under the cut.

It’s a Pōhutukawa bloom (aka New Zealand Christmas Tree) done in a Chinese calligraphy style.

Any headcanons on Sheikah marriage?

Oohoohoo~… careful, you've opened a floodgate now.

I looove~ speculating on culture! 💖

—

I know that there'd be a lot of eastern influence in the traditions. Primarily Japanese, but possibly also a bit of Chinese & South Korean too.

I know, for sure, that the bride & groom's clothing bears a pattern of or jewelry or just something that features a Sweetheart Orchid due to their symbolism. As they are a symbol of happy couples, love, vivifatility (a word I made up that refers to both fertility & virility), sexuality, & abundance. It's supposed to grant “good luck” on their wedding night & is thought to help increase the likelihood of conception.

Which, Sweetheart Orchids are inspired by the Cupid Arrow Orchid from Gnomeo & Juliet.

I also know that I love imperial collars.

---

While, traditionally speaking, it's expected that the man be the one to propose, it also isn't frowned upon for women to do so instead.

As for how the Sheikah generally propose, they'll get a small wooden box, doesn't matter what kind or what size, fill it with the petals of either Sweetheart Orchids, Lovely Roses, or Valiant Gladioluses in the case of the recipient being a soldier, guard, or hero.

Then, upon those petals would be placed a slip of paper with "結婚して下さい" (Kekkon shite kudasai) written in calligraphy on it. Which is a formal request to marry.

---

Anyway, the grooms are expected to, if not make, then purchase, their bride's first knife block. It's supposed to act as either a wedding gift or a housewarming gift to her for their first home together. I've got a whole thing about it somewhere.

Brides traditionally wear a type of pale foundation made from the petals of the Sweetheart Orchid on their faces. Not thickly as to look sheet white, just enough to pale the skin slightly & give her a feel of fragility. Then they apply a pink, almond set style eyeshadow & layered over that, they also paint the edges of their eyelids red in something similar to the hooded or close set style. (Think certain Geisha eye makeup.) Any eyeliner they wear tends to be delicately applied, except for the outside of their eyes sometimes having dots or circles of eyeliner that create crescents around the eyes. Finally, their lips are painted red.

Something like this:

They also tend to have their hair pulled up into complicated, but beautiful updos decorated with lovely, delicate-looking, floral hairpieces inspired by Chinese bridal hairpieces.

Grooms generally only wear the red eyelid paint if that.

---

During the wedding, the bride & groom are given a bowl of red ink. At which point, they dip the tips of 2 fingers into the ink & paint a pair of dots between each other's brows.

After the wedding, one skilled with tattoos will have these dots driven into their skin & if you look carefully, you can see the shape of their spouse's fingerprint hidden in the dot. This is a sign of fidelity & commitment to their spouse. It's supposed to act as a signal to all that their minds are sealed to one & only one.

Because of this tradition, the gesture that anywhere else means “I'm watching you” in a warning sort of way, to a Sheikah would mean something more along the lines of, “I always have you on my mind” in a more romantic or comforting sense. Same if you tap your own forehead. However, tapping your significant other on the forehead would mean something like, “think of me” or “I'm always close.”

But such gestures are only considered appropriate between romantic partners.

As such, there can sometimes be a bit of cultural confusion at times.

Married Sheikah will also at times press their foreheads together & it's considered very tender.

---

Being a tribe of essentially ninja, Sheikah tend to keep their relationships under wraps or close to their chests. This results in their culture being one that generally frowns upon PDA & prefers to convey closeness when outside the home in a more subtle manner.

If a Sheikah engage in such openly, it's typically due to marrying a non-Sheikah, who doesn't understand the custom.

However, this doesn't mean that they aren't affectionate.

---

This isn't all, of course, but it's all I have right now.

I'll likely create an entire, separate post on it later when I have more ideas.

Either way, thank you for the question! They help to get my brain thinking. 💖
