In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, the villagers of Galactic Jungle all have Hawaiian names, with the exception of Click. All of the following information has been sourced from Wiktionary or Wikipedia. From left to right in the above image:

Moani - From moani (“fragrant breeze”)

Hoaka - From hōʻaka ("to laugh")

Iolani - From 'io lani ("royal hawk")

Akamu - From ʻAkamu ("Adam")

Kamalah - From Kamala (either "Tamara" or "the aching")

Kaihe - ...

Kaihe's name is a bit harder (for me) to research, as neither the English Wiktionary nor the English Wikipedia have any usages of "Kaihe". When turning towards Hawaiian dictionaries - the Hawaiian Dictionary by Pukui and Elbert and the Māmaka Kaiao, neither of them have entries for "kaihe" either.

When using Wiktionary's list of all Hawaiian lemmas, "kai", "he", and "hē" all have entries, listed here:

Most likely, Kaihe is from kai hē ("sea grave"), though the true intention of 5th Cell is unknown.

I know that i am like a year late to the party but no one wrote a Kamalah Khan & Kate Bishop recruiting the young avengers (the champions (? Idk man i don't read marvel comics) and kate trying to be the team babystitter and failing? Bc yes, she lives alone and is *technically* and adult, but is different when you want to connect with younger people, like:

Kate: Of course i know what fanfiction is, i write.

Kamalah: OMG me too. You should read my captain marvel one.

Kate: Well, i could met her, so no. I write about Ligth/L and F1. And you should not read it.

Kalamah: Oh, is about that old anime, rigth? Did you watch the Netflix series?

Kate: what do you mean old??

Galactic Jungle worldbuilding + sneeze girl fanart 🫰

Residents of the Galactic Jungle are among the most educated Raposa on the planet, but they're also some of the most compassionate and caring. When their mayor passed away and Click had to take responsibility until a new mayor could be elected, the residents were extremely understanding of his anxieties surrounding the position. His various eccentricities and odd new regulations seemed forgivable, given the situation. This sort of snowballed over the course of 20 years, where Click became more nervous and worried for his friends and neighbors, and the residents pretended to follow his rules to assuage his fears until it was kinda too late to say anything without it being really awkward.

The puppet council and their extremely pedantic rules are strange and frightening to visitors, but residents don't mind much because none of them actually follow the rules. At least, they don't follow them when Click's not around. They're all supposed to be living safe, comfortable lives, but instead they're keeping the community running by performing jobs that one Raposa couldn't reasonably be asked to do alone.

Kamalah handles trade with other Raposa settlements (mostly with Lavasteam and the Snow Fields) and general communications technology. When she disappears after the sneezing incident, it's because Click is convinced she's about to die from some contagious disease and is trying to get her to rest.

The player's intervention in the Galactic Jungle gives the residents the perfect opportunity to tell Click hey, we actually knew the council was fake all along and we didn't wanna say anything because we were worried about you. And they all make up and say haha wasn't that wild. And life moves on.

Thoughts on: Not voting (2024)

Decide for yourselves whether my words have value or if they are naught but the ravings of a madman.

Whichever you decide, don't @ me, bro. I'm not here to debate. Just to pontificate.

Let's begin.

I have seen discourse of late that people do not wish to vote in the upcoming POTUS election, for reasons that include but are not limited to Donald Trump being a piece of shit, and also Joe Biden selling weapons to Israel, thus making him complicit in that thing that's happening with Israel and Palestine. Are we allowed to use the G word? Idunno.

Lots of the anti-not-voting crowd will try to talk down to you, insinuate that you're probably just a Russian troll or a moron or something.

Not me. Although I too am anti-not-voting, I want to try something different, to wit: I understand.

I get it. I appreciate that Joe Biden is shit. Certainly he's not the shittiest shit that ever shat. He's not even shitty shit. Just regular shit.

If we're being fair (although I don't know why we would be. This is tumblr after all), Biden has done lots of good stuff while in office. I mean, I don't know what any of them are, but I saw a list floating around a while back that had a bunch of stuff on it that Biden had done right. I think there was something about insulin being price capped? I'm prepared to accept out of hand the possibility that there exists things that Biden has done right. Mainly because I'm too lazy to look it up and also don't really care enough about Biden's merits beyond "He's not Trump" to bother.

But yes, good stuff or not, Biden is shit. He may have done good things, but he has also done shitty things. Things which include but which are not limited to that thing that's happening with Israel and Palestine, the status of which remains in limbo, viz a viz, the G word.

Of all the shitty people that have ever lived, Joe Biden is one of them.

And I appreciate that both candidates are senile and decrepit and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and.

I get it.

I perfectly understand all the reasons you have to not vote. In fact, I could probably give you a few more. Like "He's not The Real Eagal." which is in my incredibly humble and completely non-biased opinion the best possible reason to not vote for someone.

In difference circumstances, I wouldn't vote for Biden either if I were you.

But Trump is worse. You get that, right? Biden and Trump are both terrible in different ways, but they are not equally terrible. Trump is worse. On a terribleness scale of 1 to 10, Biden is a two. Trump is an eleven. Hundred. Thousand. Million.

He could be up against literally Sauron and Trump would still be worse. At least Sauron came by it honest. He built his evil empire without help from anyone. Morgoth was already...wherever Morgoth ended up after Eru Iluvatar slapped him down to remind him who's daddy. Ok, he did have Celebrimbor's help to make the rings of power, but didn't he make the One Ring on his own? All I'm saying is, I'd rather have Sauron in office than Donald Trump.

Trump is literally deciding who he wants his next VP to be based on how much he wants to fuck their wives. Sauron wouldn't decide who his cohorts were based on how much he wants to fuck their wives. Sarumon didn't even have a wife.

Plus, Biden's not gonna last 4 more years. He's like a jillion years old. He'll croak 2 days after inauguration. And even if he did last all four years, the world can survive four more years of Biden. A bowling alley couldn't survive four more years of Trump.

And if Kamalah Harris is still Biden's VP when he kicks the bucket, it would probably kill off a few Republicans. Their brains would explode at the mere thought of a black woman president. That's what we in "The Biz" call a win-win.

No one will like to hear this, but there's nothing you can do to stop the world from being shitty today - today meaning this current era, not literally this specific day. Sorry, kids, but that ship has sailed.

Voting for Biden won't make the sun rise. It won't make the grass grow, it won't make the birds sing. Voting for Biden won't Save Our Democracy™ BUT speaking only for myself, I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that if Trump gets re-elected there's a good chance that there won't be another election, notwithstanding all the other many and varied reasons Trump getting back into office would be a terrible idea.

No question that in ideal times both Trump and Biden would already be swinging from the gallows and we'd be voting between Jesus and Buddha. Personally, I'll vote Buddha. For two reasons. 1: Jesus' fan club is kind of insufferable. No offense, big J, but you gotta give those people a good long talking-to if you want my vote. And 2: According to the excellent documentary series Record of Ragnarok, Buddha is an amazing fighter. He fought a fuckin' monster from hell and won. Dude's a badass.

But these are not ideal times in which we live. Again, no one will like to hear this, but the lesser of two evils, however unpleasant it may be, can be a necessary evil. And Joe Biden is, without question, the much much MUCH lesser evil.

Compromise is a four-letter word, but needs must, as they say, when the Devil drives. And if we want there to be a better tomorrow - for some people it will be "if we want there to even be a tomorrow at all" - we gotta hold our nose and vote Biden.

You got a better idea? One that doesn't involve crashing a bus into the nearest combination orphanage/puppy store in the hopes that the resultant tragedy will cause the downfall of civilization and Civilization 2 will work better because we already worked out all the kinks the first time? Even though the whole reason you got rid of the first one is that you hadn't worked out all the kinks and were too lazy to finish the job?

Not voting doesn't work. You can boycott a business. Maybe. You can't boycott a government. They're already in control. They're not going to change that just because some rando decided he's guilty

And I mean, there are other ways to deal with an unruly government. France is quite famous for its ideas on the subject, but if we're taking votes on that avenue, I'm going to have say "nay." The last thing anyone needs right now is another damn Napoleon.

So maybe tomorrow - "tomorrow" here meaning the next era, ten or twenty or thirty or forty or fifty or however many fuckin' years down the line - Joe Biden will be dead and good riddance to his wrinkly old ass and we'll get the chance to vote for someone else. Among all the shitty people who have ever lived, this future someone won't be one of them probably. I'll bet my bottom dollar on it.

It could happen. In an infinite universe all things are possible, so maybe.

And whatever of the many flaws that Joe Biden possesses, Trump has all these and more.

Joe tacitly endorses violent suppression of protests? Trump had a group of protestors gassed so that he could get a photo-op in front of a church.

Joe has a tendency to get a bit handsy with women? Trump is a rapist.

Joe is kinda racist in that way that old people are kinda racist without being overtly anti-minority? Trump is a Nazi. Or at least extremely Nazi-adjacent.

Joe is drinking the Israel kool-aid? Didn't Trump move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem or some shit, thus clearly favoring Israel over Palestine? Something to that effect? I remember that something like that happened and it being kind of a big deal. Yes? No? Maybe so? Regardless, do you think that Trump wouldn't mainline the kool-aid? He'd be selling Irsael nukes inside of a week.

Joe vaguely shady? Vaguely criminally shady? Trump is a convicted felon. 34 counts, wasn't it? Plus like a hundred more indictments or some shit on top.

While it is true that not voting won't directly put Trump back in the White House, it certainly won't help keep him out of it.

So my advice to you, my children, is this: Vote Biden. Don't do it because you want Biden to be president. Do it because you don't want Trump to be president.

Don't vote for the betterment of mankind. Or the United States. Or your individual state. Don't even vote because the cool kids are voting. Don't vote because you particularly give two soggy shits about the future.

Vote out of spite. Do it to spite Trump. Do it out of the pettiness of not wanting Trump to be president. Not for any of his policies, but just because his face is stupid.

Little known fact: the very first listed dictionary definition for "stupid" is literally "Trump's face". Don't check. It's in there. Trust me.

Vote against Trump because New York isn't a nice town, despite the fact that they named it twice on the strength of its alleged niceness. Sorry, New Yorkers. I don't make the rules.

Vote for Biden because you just really hate people from Queens, New York, New York. Sorry, Queens residents. I don't make the rules.

Vote against Trump because you hate orange people. Yes, even that orange Monstar from Space Jam.

Vote for Biden because you thought Home Alone 2 was a terrible movie.

Vote against Trump because he named his son after himself.

Vote for Biden because the only creature in this or any universe that deserves to be named Donald is Donald Duck. And maybe Donald Glover. Beyond that, we can play it by ear.

Vote against Trump out of sheer, unrelenting, seething hatred for people whose middle names are John.

Vote for Biden because Trump appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that one time and said that he likes to keep a low profile.

There are many many many many many good reasons to not vote for Joe Biden. Do it anyway.

Gather together all of the good reasons that you possess and throw them out the window, along with any clocks you have on hand. And maybe a horse. And some butter. And a dragon if you have any.

Vote for Biden anyway. Not because he deserves it. But because Trump deserves it even less than Biden does.

If you vote I will give you one compliment of your choice. Are you waiting for someone to notice how great your new haircut makes you look?

Maybe you've been hitting the gym a lot more lately, and want someone to appreciate all the muscle you've packed on.

Maybe you finally nailed YYZ on the drums and want props.

Now's your chance. All you need to do is get out there and vote for Biden this November. Or whenever election day is. Pretty sure it's in November. Like, the 7th or some shit. Idunno. Look it up yourself.

And once you do that, you may return here for your compliment.

Unless that counts as election interference. If it does then I won't give you a compliment. You will have to settle for being one of my wonderful followers. And if you're not, maybe you should be. Because I compliment my followers all the time. Even the bots. I am down with the 101001, my robotic followers. Consider it a loophole. But I don't think it counts as election interference, so we're probably in the clear either way.

P.S. If you disagree with me for any reason, please refrain from interacting with this post, because I do find dissent to be terribly irritating. Please and thank you. :)

P.P.S. I will, however, welcome abject praise. If you want to give it. Your choice.

P.P.P.S. This is a post-script.

[themarysuep]

by the way, kamalah failed to see everything regarding Carol and Valk, and also about her and Maria 😏, and monica besides her like "dont you fcking dare to write about my second mum"

1. I think Monica kinda knows about fanfic and that it'd would be popular with a fan as big as Kamala. Monica is also a bit of a nerd maybe she read some Star Trek fanfic or something loll (idk if Star Trek exists but something like that).

2. I mean Kamala sees what's in front of her and it's Monica continually calling Carol 'aunt'.

3. I was really shocked that Kamala didn't even LOOK at Val. If you recall she wears a shirt with Val, Carol and Hope on it with some kind of motivational quote for most of episode 1 of her show. But I'm sure Tessa is busy and she probably filmed that scene as a favor to Nia and Brie really quickly or something (she's doing another movie with Nia).

mhm not the sexism with kamalah

[onefey]

[mongorevera]

¡INCREIBLE! LA DIFERENCIA DE COMO RECIBEN A KAMALAH Y A TRUMP.

[peniswizard69]

Honestly they should have an interpreter for Joe Biden just to remove all of his brain farts. If he spoke quietly away from the mic and just had some guy repeat him except saying Kamalah Harris instead of "Vice Persident Trump" who would be 500% more electable. If it's good enough for Moses from Bible it's good enough for Joses from Biden

[inmutant]

Hy I have a question for you. First of all I want to make clear this is not supposed to be an attack in any way I'm just curious.

I read on your page that Luna is a mutant x inhuman hybrid and the only one of her kind and I wanted to ask how you are handling Kamalah Khan for example? In the comics it turned out that she's a mutant x inhuman hybrid too which means that Luna is no longer the only one of her kind according to canon.

Again, this is not an attack and I really don't mean to come across as rude or anything. I just want to know how you are handling these canon changes from the comics on your blog.

Yeah, so I had to go google this one, to make sure that this information is legit and they only just made this decision now in the comics (they did it in such a weird way tbh and they have not seemed to explain why they did this).

I guess I'll eventually update Luna's bio, but for now I'm going to leave her being the only one for now bc I'm lazy and I don't interact nor have anything much to do with Kamala at the moment now anyway.

[notchainedtotrauma]

Before anyone, ANYONE comes at me sydeway, I'm the original poster of this https://www.tumblr.com/notchainedtotrauma/752099946495459328/i-am-the-original-poster-i-am-someone-who?source=share

I posted AND transcribed the whole thing. Let me copy some of the transcript for you.:

"So what is a bot farm ? Something that an individual or a company purchases. You get a set amount of bots that look like normal people, go out, and spread your message. And here's the work that goes ino that..."

I also happen to know personally, while not away from the keyboard, the following people, the ones cited in this article :

Let me be very, very clear. Hailstorm and hellfire is about to come down during this campaign and it will happen because of people like you (and you know who you are) reporting people left and right because (mostly Black) people cannot be anything but bots. And when I say people, 99% of those people will be Black people. How do I know that ? Because this is a pattern that began with FERGUSON. Black people aren't allowed to critique, they aren't allowed nuance, they aren't allowed difference, and woe are Black women, cis and trans.

Kamalah Harris will BOTH suffer from heinous misogynoir and carry on the slaughter(s) structured by Empire; she's BOTH victim of a glass ceiling and an enforcer of some of the most deadly policing there has been (and extremely proud at that). But she will be a target.

But the people that will be get the most of the attacks, without none of the protection, whether it be physical, fiscal, and emotional ? Are "random" Black cis and trans women. Mind you, they're already been murdered left and right and disappeared in throngs, Black CIS women like Black TRANS women. And your people will still have the audacity to call those Black women bots because Kamala Harris is a Black woman and they are Black women so of course their discourse must automatically meld. Fuck y'all (and you know who you are)

"this person made a post about politics I disagree with or don't find funny therefore, I'm going to report them for election tampering" are you guys fucking deranged do you hear yourselves

[cyberpunk-lesbians]
