Had to make necessary edits, see this post for context!

I’m not trying to seduce you…

“… would you like me to seduce you?”

🥵🌋🦇🩸

Meet Kolohe, my non-binary Koa warrior turned biker goth. 🏍️👏💦

They go by she/they and only have a preference when they are most definitely /not/ a she, but are indifferent otherwise. It’s sort of hard to explain the concept of māhū to mainlanders anyway, so they opt out when it’s more convenient and just shrug at any binary nonsense that comes their way. Besides, it’s usually nothing a good chokehold won’t fix…

As a Native Hawaiian and a complete badass, they embody the essence of their past warrior status in their everyday life, working as a supernatural freelancer for anything from espionage to contracted killings. It’s not as honorable as they’d like it to be, and nowhere near as fulfilling as their past occupation, but they mainly use the money to help out their homeland so it’s become an acceptable arrangement over time. Plus, if feels pretty good to use that colonizer cash against itself…

Despite their altruistic nature, they also have a chaotic streak they like to scratch every now and again, especially when out with their problematic bff Taran. You can find them out clubbing or drinking or causing general mayhem together anywhere they set foot, always up for a good time as long as it’s in their favor.

Absolutely here to intimidate and seduce you, they will leave you questioning your entire sexuality while giving you gender envy. No, it’s not optional. No, you will not survive. Probably because they’ve also bit you.

🤷‍♀️🦇

Genuinely one of my favorite details in MASH is how every character manages to display their unique identity through clothes, despite the uniform. They've all got a couple personal garments of civilian clothing mixed in with their preferred ways of modifying their fatigues, and that's so cool.

Hawkeye wears his undershirt untucked and his overshirt unbuttoned, plus he removed his epaulettes (Trapper is more or less the same). Radar has his overshirt unbuttoned but still tucks in his undershirt, and he wears that iconic hat that's definitely not standard regulation. Henry has his fishing gear or college sweater, and only pulls out the proper uniform shirt and hat if big brass are coming to camp. Frank and Charles both button and tuck in their shirts, but Frank usually wears his hat while Charles does not. Potter buttons his shirt, but never tucks it in. Margaret starts out dressing pretty uniform standard, but by the later seasons she usually replaces her shirt with a sweater or sweatshirt of some kind. Klinger, of course, has a variety of iconic fits.

BJ is definitely the most dramatic example, and it feels very intentional that by the later seasons the only part of his uniform he wears are the pants. He's got his iconic pink henley, plus an army shirt he made into a vest or a pair of red suspenders. He never even wears combat boots, it's converse all the way for him! To top it all off, he's got overlong hair and a goofy mustache; that man is showing disrespect for army regulations in every aspect of his physical appearance. It's very similar to Klinger, in my opinion; except BJ skipped right past the veneer of trying to prove he's crazy to "this is what I want to wear and I won't let this fuckass institution police how I'll present myself"

There's just so much character in how all of them choose to express themselves, despite living in a situation intent on stripping them of their individual humanity! I could do individual character analysis for all of their outfits, even though they're supposedly wearing the same thing.

Something about Tucker being held to a higher standard than all of the other Reds and Blues in the later seasons. Sure he likes sex and makes “that’s what she said” esque sex jokes, but like, especially during Shisno trilogy, the show seems to really like putting him down or treating his love for sex like a comedic punching bag. Oh, Tucker’s a single dad who genuinely loves and cares about his one alien kid despite how that kid was forced upon him? Well actually he had sex with a TON of women on Chorus by using the fuck temple and now has a ton of kids that he’s reluctant to pay child support for. And speaking of the temple, despite it being said to make everyone on the planet super horny and sex obsessed, Tucker says he didn’t feel any different, because making him hypersexual is funny (why is it funny, RT?). And remember how Tucker’s arc during Chorus had him emotionally dealing with Felix’s betrayal? Well now he falls for the most obvious manipulative lies from Temple, I guess he’s just dumber now. And you remember that funny scene in season 5 where Doc is giving Sister a physical exam, and Tucker obviously really wants to see her naked, but because Doc keeps telling him to not come in, and likely out of respect, he doesn’t, while Red Team is secretly perving on her (which they never fucking get called out for), plus all the funny moments of him trying to flirt with her, and her either being receptive or so fucking weird that it takes him aback? Well Tucker still REALLY wants her, but he’s now a childish asshole who can’t stand the idea of her not wanting to sleep with him, and is now super self centered despite the arc he went through showing how he values others, and the series basically keeps fucking with him and making him miserable and barely ever giving him a moment of relief. And you know how he was mercilessly tortured for M O N T H S during Restoration? Well he doesn’t get to process that trauma, and despite all the growth he’s supposedly gone through throughout the series, his last moment is an offscreen sex joke because Tucker’s the perv, get it? We can’t let him have a fucking break despite literally everyone else being treated comparatively nicer or given some kind of levity. Why specifically Tucker, Rooster Teeth? What has he done that’s so bad to you that you continually treat his character this way despite the fact that he’s truly the best (and should have been main) character in this whole series?

Re-read the script for ‘Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian’, and it inspired me to make a silly little scene with my favorite niece and uncle as a warmup.

Please DO NOT TAG AS SHIP ART!!

A lovely story of Elvis on set of "Paradise Hawaiian Style," by actress Irene Tsu.

Principal photography in Paradise, Hawaiian Style began in Hawaii on July 27, 1965 (with the working title of "Hawaiian Paradise") and finished on September 29, 1965 in Los Angeles.

"It was the very first day on set and I was so nervous. So I decided to go take a nap and if I was needed on set, they would call me. I went to my trailer and the air conditioner wasn’t working. I was just hysterical - really hysterical. I walked around the set when I discovered a big hut and thought there would be air conditioning inside.

All of a sudden, there was a hand stopping me. And I was told, 'That's Elvis' dressing room. You can't just go in. I’m going to have to ask if you're allowed.'

Security let me in and I ended up taking a nap on a couch in the cool area. Elvis was near me looking at me when I woke up. He was putting a cold compress on my face. He thought I must have passed out or something.

He was absolutely beautiful. I didn’t even know what to say because I was so shocked. And then he went, 'Don’t worry about it. I just want you to feel good. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Are you thirsty?' I couldn’t even talk! I was overwhelmed by his presence. He smelled like baby powder and milk. And he kept insisting if I needed or wanted anything.

We became friends while working together. We were united by our admiration for martial arts and spiritual ideals."

MY OPINION SECTION: If you remember the behind the scenes story on Elvis's personal life, he was miserable with the Hollywood contracts for a while... 1965/1966 weren't his best years emotionally. Elvis was feeling terrible with how his career was going at that time, musically and cinematographically. It's really cute to me how gracious and generous with his time and attention he was even when he was feeling terrible inside. Skeptical people would say "Oh she was a very attractive woman and he was just hitting on her." It could be, but do you really think he needed tactics to get girls? He was Elvis! Besides, there's reasons to believe he was just being genuinely worried about Irene. EP was a very caring man since always. That story reminded me of Elvis on August 11, 1956 in Jacksonville, Florida. There's pictures of him holding the hand of a fan who fainted after seeing him in person at the hotel he was staying in. If Elvis wasn't the huge music star he was - but still had the financial means to do so - I bet he would have been an excellent doctor or caregiver of any kind. That man had so much love to give!

Some designs for some Hawaiian Gods and Goddesses!

[starryknight-dragonarts]

(This creature is directly inspired from Hawaiian Mythology)

The Mo’o are a rare reptilian shifter race, isolated to a few volcanic islands amongst the Ocean, some believe they are actually a sort of dwarf island dragon, but they lack the wings of other Draconic species. In their true form they appear to be a Gecko-like semiaquatic Lizard with shiny black scales that resemble obsidian and have a deadly corrosive gas breath that can burn into stone and metal let alone flesh but becomes a poisonous murk when released in the water. All true Mo’o are Female and have the ability to shift into a mostly Human-like form that bears a few reptilian features like eyes, scattered scales, and their tail. No matter your leaning towards the appearance to scaly ladies their natural pheromones make them nearly irresistible to humans who they desire to mate with.

Thanks to the isolation of their islands Mo’o sightings are few and often unsubstantiated, many folk often mistake them for a common lizard-folk or a Yuan-Ti, but because they can’t rely on men always coming to them sometimes a Mo-o matriarch will swim to the mainland once to mate or kidnap men with their seductive abilities and take them home to serve as male concubines.

A Mo’o Matriarch will lay many eggs but very few of them will be another true Mo’o keeping their numbers purposefully restricted because Mo’o tend to be territorial to one another and sisters may fight among one another over land, and control over servants. The rest of the eggs laid by a Mo’o are worker drones sometimes nicknamed Mo’obolds.
