I want to try so many little hobbies. Candle making, soap making, basket weaving, wood carving, book binding, baking, weaving, I want to try them all.

What stood out with Moana 2 was a further exploration of Pacific culture. Two points especially stood out in highlighting the diversity within that vast expanse.

The first was when Moana came across a shard of pottery. That was most likely a reference to the Lapita, who were the ancestors of many Pacific Islander cultures. As they spread across the ocean, they brought pottery technology with them, refining techniques and intricate designs in the process. However as time progressed and the civilization expanded, pottery would get supplanted by weaving and carving technology, with some spots dropping it all together. So it was a good touch that Moana didn't even recognize the material, though she recognized that it was human-made.

The second was at the end when they meet other islanders. Especially the first ones who is clearly Melanesian, as opposed to our Polynesian main characters. That crew being Melanesian was shown not just in their dark skin but also their boat; that very distinctive crab claw sail and hull structure evoking the tepukei of the Solomon Islands.

I would love to know what cultures the other boats/envoys were supposed to represent.

Overall, it was great that they leaned more into Pacific Islander culture, and I hope that if more works are created, they will pursue this line further.

The directors/writers if they pushed their relationship even further in the future

Having two little sisters myself- this seemed like a mother daughter relationship that Disney creators wanted to do but had to change for propriety sake. Like Skipper& Barbie

I already know one thing I'm going to enjoy when watching this movie, just watching Moana and her little sister being adorable together cause it's already working on me.

Ive never really met anyone that thought of ribs as interesting… that’s such a shame. Ribs and the things they do are fascinating…. I think about them everyday.

[woodelflady]

Today, January 29th, is the Lunar New Year! Also known as the Chinese New Year, today marks the end of the Year of the Dragon and the start of the Year of the Snake.

For today, Jared letterpress printed a linoleum cut of a California kingsnake. This linocut was borrowed for this video and was recently engraved by a colleague who works with Jared. The text below reads, “Year of the Snake” and was typeset in 30 point Caslon font. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

Error pages and missing kudos emails

AO3 uses a technique called rate limiting to help prevent activity that could threaten the Archive's stability or security. However, the way we usually do rate limiting isn't working, so we've had to temporarily change our approach while we work on a fix.

Unfortunately, this new, temporary approach makes it more likely you'll run into error pages while using AO3 normally. We're very sorry about that! If you get one of these errors, please wait a few minutes and you'll be able to continue using AO3.

We're also looking into reports that some users are not receiving kudos emails.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and we'll keep you updated.
