You Are My Dad for Hafiz and Faiza So No Head for Remus and Maddox aaaaand let's have Welcome to Bible Study for Wyatt 👁👁

You Are My Dad - What is/was your OC's relationship with their parents like?

Both Karim and Malaika are still alive, and Hafiz's and Faiza's relationship with them is as good as always. Faiza became a courier to support them while they rebuilt their respective businesses and home, actually. She's the youngest out of their three children and an unashamed daddy's girl with an exceptionally good friendship with her mother.

Hafiz went through a rebellious phase in his teens, so for a while their relationship was a bit rocky, but nothing happened that couldn't have been fixed and they welcomed him back with open arms. Out of the three of their kids, he's probably the most removed from their roots. Not that either of his parents give him grief about it, though. He always has been and always will be their son.

So No Head? - What is your OC's temperament like?

Remus' quick temper is barely contained most of the time, because he barely had to contain it for all of his life. It played right into the Legion's plans for him. They had an easy time nurturing him into the big tough guy that they needed him to be to join the praetorian guard. After he deserts their ranks at Hoover Dam he has a hard time trying his hand at conforming to the social rules of the Wasteland, especially if he needs to stay polite about situations that he would have loved to escalate at any other point. More often than not he tends to snap or run out on patience.

Maddox has a passionate temper and - if justified - he's not afraid to act on it, but he's doing his best to keep it on the low most of the time. He'd rather remove himself from situations instead of letting his emotions get the upper hand on them, especially when he's around friends. Someone always ends up hurt somehow, physical, emotional, it doesn't matter. And it's never truly him. And he cuts deep in every sense of the word.

Welcome to Bible Study - Is your OC religious?

Wyatt grew up in a catholic household and his parents came pretty close to being religious zealots, which in turn made him identify as an atheist for a long time. Either out of spite or because he lost all of his beliefs after seeing what they can turn people into, that's not certain anymore. Gods were hogwash to him, religions social constructs made to control humanity. Full stop. That is until he saw and experienced things out there in the Wastes that he simply could not explain nor deny. He's still not keen on identifying himself as a religious man, but he's surely stopped claiming there's no higher power out there.

OKAY BUT FAIZA IMAGINE THIS: A scenario similar to the one we got today, everyone is eating pizza, but the boy squad are there as well as girl squad. And Sana walks in and Even says, “I ordered pizza, do you want some?”, and he offers her a slice, and she accepts it politely but starts picking the bits of beef or whatever off, like she did in today’s clip. But then Even says “oh no, don’t worry, it’s halal” and Sana just…smiles, and feels a little less alone, and a little more understood??

SOPHIAAAAAAAA!!!

HELLOOOOOOO MY LOVE!!!

Listen after today I JUST

I NEED EVEN AND SANA MORE THAN AIR.

Like, please give her Even to bond with and talk to who just, completely GETS it, you know? :( Like, he’d understand her SO well??? All her silences, all her glances, her hesitation ... ALL OF IT, he’d understand it.

And he’d comfort her and just make her feel so safe? And just ... not alone? GIVE ME THIS!!!!

GIVE ME EVEN ORDERING A HALAL PIZZA FOR SANA!!!!!

Title: Tempat Paling Liar Di Muka Bumi (The Wildest place on Earth) Authors: Theoresia Rumthe and Weslly Johannes Publisher: Jakarta: Gramedia Pustaka Utama: 2016

and

Title: Tidak ada New York Hari Ini / There is No New York Today (bilingual; translated by John H. McGlynn) Author: Aan Mansyur Publisher: Jakarta: Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2016

Indonesian literature for youngsters, since 1998, has been flooded with romance prose dabbed, either with life motivation and religious issues or the more popular chick-lit. This trend still continues. Fortunately, there are some recent developments on the literature scene that have brought a refreshing air of difference. One of these fresh developments is the publication of a number of plays/theater works. An excellent example of this genre is Faiza Mardzoeki’s Nyanyi Sunyi Kembang Kembang Genjer (Bandung: Ultimus, 2016).

In a different genre, poetry books have also gained more adherents in Indonesia in the past two years. It is true that there were some poetry books published earlier, such as Aku Ingin Jadi Peluru (I want to become a bullet), a collection of poems by Wiji Thukul which was first published in 2000 (second printing in 2004). But this is more an exception. Particularly, it is because Wiji Thukul was a well-known poet-activist, whose life story was recently been visualized in a biographical film, Istirahatlah kata-kata (Solo, Solitude) (2016).

Indeed, the situation is changing now. Young Indonesian readers are showing more interest in purchasing poetry books. A number of online poets (in particular, on social media like Facebook) have gathered young followers and their works are being published as books.

Two poetry books are commercially considered as best sellers: Tempat Paling Liar di Muka Bumi and Tidak ada New York Hari ini. It is also worth noting that each of these publications also use illustrations to enhance the mood and made their lines of prose easier to comprehend. Two young professional illustrators, Theizard and Lala Bohang, collaborated to illustrate Tempat Liar Di Muka Bumi, while Muhammad Taufiq/Emte showed intriguing illustrations in There is No New York Today.

Tempat Paling Liar di Muka Bumi (The Wildest Place on Earth) is a work of collaboration by two young poets, Theoresia Rumthe and Weslly Johannes. Theorise Rumthe was once a radio announcer with professional experience spreading over a decade, who moved to concentrate on writing and offering public speaking and vocal training. She is currently residing in Bandung (West Java). Her short stories are published in two different anthologies: Perkara Mengirm Senja (Jakarta: Serambi, 2012) and  Menuju(h) (Jakarta: Gagas Media, 2012).

Wesley Johannes lives in Saumlaki, North East of Maluku (the Molluccas). As a well-known poet and scholar in theology, he actively writes poems describing his hometown. Both Rumthe and Johannes are proud Mollucans, and their poetry book is proof of their affection for their common hometown. Hence, its title refers to the Molluccas, that is, “wildly” beautiful. The pair write about their love and longing due to separation, and the beauty of the Molluccas. As each give their take on each other and their love, the collection offers melodious rhythm of words.

Interestingly, all the poems are set in juxtaposition. Rumthe’s are in recto while Johannes’ are in verso. This style is a reminiscence of the traditional Malay style of reciprocating poems (berbalas pantun). In the tradition, poems (pantun) made up of four-lined verse are exchanged between two parties, and this exchange which could go on all night, forms a dialogue. In this style of reciprocating poems, both Rumthe and Johannes offer numerous excellent dialogues on their common love and longing.

Their lines are also filled with their yearning in daily modern life. Their exchange of words using mobile phones, trapped in traffic jams in on a micro bus are peppered with sea and waves. The Molluccas are, indeed, famous for the picturesque sea. Each poems has its own time stamp, similar to an instant messaging time stamp – a characteristic that young readers could easily relate to in their everyday lives.

Below are excerpts of their poems entitled punggung sepasang kekasih (spines of a pair of lovers):

Rasa ingin melekat pada punggung; merasakanmu dari belakang! Sementara matahari menyala di dalam dada, Membakar, ilalang menggelitik kaki Tentang jatuh-jatuh yang tidak direncanakan kau dan aku bagai sepasang pelican saling mencelikkan rasa, yang buta berjalan

[TR// Bandung, 4 Agustus :21.43]

This feeling wants to cling to (your) back to feel you from behind! When the sun shines inside chest, the burning, grassland tickles feet About unplanned falls you and me like a pair of pelicans explicate our feelings, which blindly wonder”

[TR// Bandung, August 4th :21.43] (page 22; translated by Berti Alia Bahaduri)

Sat next to her poem was Johannes’ poem:

Tidak ada tatapan yang lebih menyedihkan dari punggung sepasang kekasih yang berpisah yang saling menjauh tanpa memiliki kata dan mata

aku telah memilih jalan-jalan sunyi dan memutar, mengelabui perpisahan demi memulangkan dadaku kepada punggungmu yang tabah meredam gemuruhnya

[WJ//Saumlaki, 5 Agustus: 19.05]

There is no sadder look from parting backs of two lovers wordless and sightless distance

I have chosen quiet and circular paths deceiving farewell to send my chest home to your dauntless back who can safeguard the thunder within

[WJ // Saumlaki, August 5th: 19.05] (page 23; translated by Berti Alia Bahaduri)

In joining forces with Rumthe and Johannes, Aan Mansyur has come with his Tidak Ada New York Hari ini/ There is no new York Today. This bilingual poetry book is translated into English by John H.McGlynn, a noted editor and translator of Indonesian literature.

Based in Makassar (South Sulawesi), Aan Mansyur also writes prose and essays. His works include an anthology of short stories, Kukila (Jakarta: Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2012) and a collection of poems, Melihat Api Bekerja (Jakarta: Gramedia Pustaka Utama, 2015). Interestingly, Mansyur’s work was mentioned by the main character in Ada Apa Dengan Cinta 2, an Indonesian movie blockbuster. This has exalted his fame among young Indonesians. Indeed, there are high demands for Mansyur’s poetry books.

Tidak ada New York hari ini describes Mansyur’s solitude and yearning in an edgier tone. Mansyur uniquely cuts his sentences to create an unsetted feeling for his readers. He cites Fernando Pessoa, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda and David Foster Wallace to display his wide understanding and nod to other poets’ works. Despite its title, the poems in this collection are not just about New York, but more about longing and time passing. Emte accentuates the work by adding his compelling illustration works with faceless figures.

This poem on preceding time could set as an excellent example:

Di Tempat Jauh Tidak Ada Masa Lalu

Tidak ada masa lalu Hidup adalah musuh. Kau Bangun menemukan hari yang ingin kau hapus Menunggu di dekat pintu, seperti sepasang sepatu yang harus kau kenakan ke tempat kerja. Wajah- wajah yang melewati jalanan sibuk itu separuh asing. Separuh milik seorang yang tidur di kota yang menjauh dan terus mengabur digerus kabar buruk.

Andai saja perihal yang tersimpan dalam benak Mengetuk pintu ingatan hanya bila dibutuhkan- Seperti seseorang datang mengantar sekotak pizza ketika kau lapar dan cuma ada tumpukan piring kotor di dapur.

Di tempat jauh tidak ada masa lalu. Jarak antara kenangan dan masa depan ialah keterpisahan laut dan kalut di dada yang berusaha tidak meluap di mata. Tapi kau tidak pernah tahu: siang ini langit akan baik-baik saja atau badai datang menyerang sekali lagi. Kau tidak pernah tahu.  

(page 34)

In Far-away Places There Is No Past

There is no past. Life is the enemy. You awake to find waiting near your door a day you’d like to throw away, like that pair of shoes you wear each day to work. The faces that pass on the busy street are half alien. Half owned by a person who sleeps in a city that grows more distant and ever more hazy from being scoured by bad news.

Imagine if the things that are stored in the mind only knocked on memory’s door when needed- like a pizza deliveryman when you’re hungry and all you have in the kitchen is a pile of dirty dishes.

In far-away places there is no past. The distance between memory and the future is the gap between the sea and storm in your chest that threatens to well over in your eyes. You never know; today the sky might come out or a storm will trounce you once again. You just never know.

(page 35; translated by John H. McGlynn)

The publication of these two poetry books signals a positive change in the literature scene in Indonesia. Poetry books encourage young Indonesians to explore different forms of literature. A space that was once abandoned and almost forgotten is now filled with youthful energy. We shall see how this genre might grow in the coming years.

Look bro, i will kill myself if this happened to me again and tumblr is being a bitch and all glitchy but i will try my best to send you a coherent ask

so i told ya abt the girl i was feeling slightly crushy and confused abt and then sep happened and i thought i will get some space and i will get over her but i saw her mid sep and i was litterally a blushing mess for an hour after that right?

So.... well sep is going to end this month and ofc i have a lot of work pending but thats not the point, the point is that even though we were like small talking on phone like how am i supposed to submit fee receipts and how many lesson plans we have completed, but talking to her didnt feel any different than talking to a normal fellow fren☕️ maybe? And now i am dreading the day i will see her in person bc i dont want to start blushing bc of some random daydream in my head all over again like how i did "that day" and now i am confused again like what am i supposed to expect from myself if , when i see her again lol

I just needed to rant on someone srry if this is too much or doesnt intrest ya or something 😥

i was literally going to send you an ask, faizu you are a mind reader istg

also damn thats a lot going on for you. i feel like if you keep thinking about it debating over how you'll react, when the moment comes it'll be a lot worse than you imagined

try to keep it out of your mind, do other things, if its not something you're constantly thinking and stressing about, chances are you'll act normally when it finally happens
