“Contact Zone” - Imaikalani Kalahele

Contact That’s when two stuff Touch, yeah?

Just like when the tides come in And touch the shores Bringing what it will.

Fish from the deep Limu from the shores ʻOpihi from the rocks Coconuts on the drift Logs from the continent People from around the world Plastics and ʻopala of all sorts.

The shore has no choice It has to accept Whatever the tides bring.

Here we are In this swirling muliwai Of ideas and manaʻo Philosophies and spiritualities.

Like the tides Ebbing and flowing The shore has no choice.

But we do!

Dazai and Chuuya when they finally reunited face to face in the Meursault hallway,,,Dazai seeing Chuuya's goofy ass red contacts and fake glued on fangs up close and Chuuya seeing Dazai's fake ass ketchup blood splatters all over his prison fit. all the while Fyodor is talking over the loudspeaker thinking things are going his way

#enas.txt #bungou stray dogs #bsd s5 #bsd s5 spoilers #i just know Chuuya couldn't make direct eye contact with Dazai for too long or else he would've cracked #Chuuya standing there staring blankly bc he had to zone out or else he'd laugh #re-reading back their angst meursault moments after that ending makes it seem so unserious LMFAOO

This election day, I'm thinking of my Nana.

I'm thinking of how as a young woman, she fled political violence in her native Colombia to build a new home in a more stable country. I'm thinking about how she lived a long life, but not long enough to see her home country elect its first ever progressive president (just a few months ago!).

Coincidentally, I was living in Colombia at that time (in the very city she grew up in), and I was able to witness what felt like a miracle. A very conservative country, suffering from the violent inheritance of colonization and catholic invasion and the war on drugs, against a backdrop of the dangerous global rise of the far right--this unlikely country managed to elect one of the most progressive heads of state in the world, in 2022. That's a pretty big deal.

And I'm thinking about this, this election day, because that election was won by a very thin margin. I'm thinking about how it almost didn't happen. I'm thinking about how it was only possible thanks to the highest voter turnout in 20 year. And I am thinking about the countless number of voters who chose to vote for the first time. I am thinking of the poorest and most disenfranchised citizens who showed up at the polls. I am thinking of the indigenous women who rode 12 hours on public buses to vote at the 'nearest' polling stations. I am thinking of all the money and corruption that went into preventing minority citizens from voting, and I'm thinking about how they showed up in the millions and voted anyway.

I am thinking that I would like to see a miracle like that in my own home country.

So if you're on the fence about waiting in line today to cast your vote, I hope that you will think--about the country you want to live in, the future you hope will unfold, and about all of the people it takes to make a miracle.

Because history may deem us nameless and faceless, but when we show up en masse, we are the ones who make history happen.

And yes, maybe also spare a thought for my Nana. Who was in fact a very angry and judgemental woman who supported the republican party for 50+ years, and who would be turning in her grave right now (if the family hadn't had her cremated). Think about the mean angry ghost of my Colombian grandmother, who very much wants you to not show up at the polls to support abortion and other sinful progressive values. Think about her. Do it for her. Do it for Nana.

#Do it! for her #not a shitpost #serious post #politics #ask to tag #I love you Nana but i disagree SO vehemently with almost all of your personal political and religious values #also you should have treated my mom SO MUCH BETTER when she was a kid. all of your kids really #i see you very much as a victim of religious trauma & childhood poverty #followed by the cultural isolation of being a first generation immigrant with no local hispanic community to provide support #plus the failure of late 20th century mental health care almost certainly compounded by medical sexism #recognize sympathize and am indignant on your behalf for all of those reasons and more #but that truth can also coexist alongside the truth that #hot DAMN Nana you and Papa very much failed to provide your children with an emotionally safe and stable environment in which to grow #and me and my sibs are still dealing with the generational trauma #and who knows how many of my cousins. I HAVE TWENTY-ONE COUSINS AND I DON'T TALK TO ANY OF THEM #that is too many cousins to not be in contact with any of them #(and fyi that's on *one* side of the family. on the other side are a dozen half-aunts-and-cousins I've never met #because Other Grandpa was a Certified Piece of Shit) #Anyway. ANYWAY... #apparently i really needed to overshare today. know what? no judgement. judgement free zone #i have no judgement thoughts or opinions i am finally FREE #........gosh that sounds so relaxing #ANYway #yeah. break the cycle of abuse or your descendants will grow up and critique your parenting choices on third-tier social media platforms #when people say 'they will always be remembered' at a funeral--that is a THREAT #what they actually mean is 'OH HONEYBUN YOU DONE FUCKED UP' #.........i want that in my eulogy actually

john hunger in stigmata

WHAT’S THE COLOR OF THE NEXT CAR? (it’s red, you bastard!) YEAH, RED, YOU BASTARD!

[ID: A lineless digital drawing of John Hunger in a monochrome palette of grays and reds.

He is a lanky, well-kept man with pale skin. He has slicked back dark hair and dark eyes with red irises. He’s wearing a dark suit.

John is shown as if he were stuck inside a box; sitting hunched over with his knees to his chest. One hand is over his face and another is digging into his own hair. He is glaring at the viewer, his eyes wide and wild. In the background there are numerous eyes, all staring at him. End description]

Nothing like motiving myself to practice drawing kisses from reference by making the final results feature my FEH girlies.

#Fun facts I don't post most of the art I make #Most of my Fire Emblem stuff has been drawing for more educational purposes #This one is no exception #Very often I will take a reference from Pinterest and directly insert FE characters into that image #It a.) helps motivate my study of human forms and b.) lets me study the design conventions of FEH specifically #It was so far from my comfort zone that studying it helped me break through some art habits I had at the time #Now it's much more familiar and I can draw the main four without reference pretty consistently. That includes Alfonse's stupid haircut #They're still my go to guys for studies tho #Clearly. #But do internally die knowing that most of my work is original stuff and you are seeing the slim 10% that are my studies. #feh #fire emblem heroes #kiralfonse #kiran #alfonse #feh alfonse #feh kiran #feh summoner #fe #fire emblem #Also if you are curious about any of the references I used for my work feel free to contact me and I can send the images I used.

id : a rendered digital drawing of eddie from the chest up, looking up at the viewer. he is disheveled, red lipstick and eyeliner smudged on his face, pink lipstick marks on his torso, shirt completely open and tie hanging loosely. steve's hand is reaching to touch his cheek and thumb at his bottom lip. eddie is reaching to hold his hand and kiss his palm./end id

choosing the color variation i wanted to share was actually difficult (more under the cut) and also bc its 1am and im getting confused, yeah the first hand is steves and also i forgot eddies tattoos. its fine.

some guy winked at me during one of my classes yesterday and now i'm studying him like a scientist studies cells under a microscope

#romance mention #full story in the tags btw #i'm honored and confused at the same time because i was zoned out and wearing a mask and made eye contact with this dude for a few seconds #and then he smiles and winks???? i do find him aesthetically good looking so that caught me off guard and i had to take a break #to process what just happened to me #i kinda wanna ask him was his intentions were with that because i'm curious #but meanwhile i'm just kind of keeping an eye on him aka 'studying' him just to see what happens #ALSO let me clarify that we're not strangers. we're mutuals on instagram and share a few friends and classes #aggie posts

SO DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO FEAR IN THE DARKNESS OF THIS ATMOSPHERE!

[ID: A digital painting of Devo La Main from TAZ Ethersea and a male betta fish in an extremely dark setting, almost reminiscent of an aquarium tank in the dark.

Devo is a young half-elf man with brown skin, dark hair in a partial bun and blue eyes. From his neck, two purple gill covers and frills are shown in a flared position, extending outward. The scales from the frills extend up to his jawline and his cheeks. He is wearing a leather jacket with scale-like patterns.

The betta fish is the same color as Devo’s frills, but with a darker head and lighter fins and tail. Like Devo, his gills are also flared out in aggression.

Both are coldly staring down at the viewer, though Devo looks particularly furious with his eyes widened. There are light blue highlights accenting his figure. End description]
