Fun facts and tidbits from Deep Cut’s stage dialogue:

While Shiver and Frye have favorite weapon classes they swear by (stringers for Shiver and splatanas for Frye), Big Man is the kind of guy who uses different weapons for different stages. Some of the weapons he uses are brushes (at Inkblot Art Academy), blasters (at Humpback Pump Track) and sloshers (at Eeltail Alley).

Frye likes coming up with attack names for Specials used in highly specific ways and charging in with a war cry in turf battles. She is not stealthy.

Deep Cut sells their treasure from the Crater at a high price to a guy running a shady stall in Hagglefish Market.

Shiver’s need for speed is not limited to riding Master Mega into battle. She has openly contemplated taking the cars at Mincemeat Metalworks and the Manta Maria itself for joyrides, and her parents were worried about her riding a bicycle because she’s a danger and a menace to everybody and WILL run you over.

Some stage dialogue basically confirms Deep Cut are housemates (oh my god they were roommates) - the three of them even go shopping for groceries at MakoMart together (Shiver recommends buying in bulk on Tuesdays for great savings!). Frye keeps trying to sneak unapproved snacks into their cart, but Shiver and Big Man are on to her shenanigans.

Big Man has been teaching the girls how to cook ever since they started living together! In Japanese, Shiver straight up admits to struggling with cooking when she moved out of her parents’ house since she’s never really had to cook before, and Frye says before Big Man taught them the basics she mostly ate junk she got from the supermarket. Either way, Big Man points out Frye has a bad habit of putting a ton of sugar into EVERYTHING. She’s... she’s working on it.

None of the Deep Cut trio have ever lived in a housing complex with apartments like Flounder Heights. Frye is very open to the idea, but Shiver isn’t since she thinks she wouldn’t get along well with neighbors.

Deep Cut’s go-to venue for birthday parties is Big Man’s house. It is unclear if it’s because it’s the biggest and nicest of the clan houses, or if it’s because Big Man (and his family by proxy) are the most easygoing and willing to hold parties there.

Both Big Man and Frye have a past with Undertow Spillway - Big Man got lost there once as a child while chasing butterflies, while a young Frye used to skip dance lessons and take her little brother with her to explore and look for treasure.

Frye used to skip school a LOT.

Deep Cut has filmed music videos at Mincemeat Metalworks and Hammerhead Bridge, but the latter was never released because Big Man was knocked over by a strong wind.

Some time ago, Deep Cut were extras for a movie filmed at Scorch Gorge. They were only in the film for two seconds.

Deep Cut are completely weirded out by the NILS Statue, are further weirded out by the fact no one really talks about anymore, and think it’s stupid that there are still tour boats sailing right by the statue. See, they CAN be sensible every once in a while.

Big Man likes to imagine the big cranes at Sturgeon Shipyard combining into a giant robot. Big Man is a nerd.

One of the Mahi-Mahi Resort dialogues has Shiver complaining about how hot it is at the poolside. In English, Big Man suggests taking a dip in the pool, and immediately realizes his friendly advice could be misconstrued because what works for him does NOT work for an inkfish. Compare and contrast Marie telling Callie to take a dip in said pool back in the first game’s NOA translation... they’ve definitely gotten better about this, Big Man really just comes off as a well-meaning goofball here. Meanwhile, in Japanese, Shiver’s complaint brings him to a realization: “so THAT’S why you keep standing in my shadow when we’re here...”

Frye is the kind of person who goes into turf battle with a weapon in one hand and a snack in the other (the only person, Shiver insists). This has made her the target for seagulls enough times that she has issued a public service warning about the little snack thieves.

Once, Frye used Zipcaster to enter one of the high cages at Scorch Gorge... and could not figure out how to get out. There were tears. She insists she didn’t cry and does not want to talk about it.

Le Chasseur d'Amour Part Four

Summary: Rook x reader. Rook's impatience to see you may not have gone as he'd anticipated...

A/N: my wifi is bad where I am, but I'm super excited to post this, so you can find all the other chapters accurately linked in three before I have a chance to fix it

Chapters: One Two Three Five

In hindsight it wasn't a good plan. In fact, it was probably the worst plan you could have come up with.

The second your foot hit the floor to run, Rook's arms were around your middle. You struggled in his grip, while he patronizingly pet your head, and sang the song, from your previous dream, to you.

"What the fuck!" The blond model hissed. Startled, you looked at him, and saw him clutching his bleeding nose, raw fury clouding his face as a purple aura rose up around him.

"You broke my nose! Do you have any idea what that's going to do to my image?"

"I think you'll be ruggedly handsome with a broken nose," Rook said, as he snuggled into your neck, ignoring your struggles.

Vil growled, eyes flashing. "I didn't ask you for your opinion."

"Let me go!" You finally got the courage to shout, followed by an attempt to bite whatever part of Rook you could reach. "You won't take me again! I'm not going back! You can't make me!"

Rook held still. This scared you more than him caressing you.

"Mon amour," he trailed off, swallowing audibly. "You no longer love me?"

Vil seemed to calm down enough, hearing that. But he was still angry about his nose.

"Aw Rook. I told you this could be a possibility."

Rook's grip tightened on you, before burying his face back in your neck.

"I have never stopped loving you. Ever since you vanished, I've been searching. Why? Why don't you love me?"

"Seriously?" You snapped indignantly. "You kidnapped me and stole four years of my life! Why would I ever love you!"

Rook's grip loosened as he turned to finally look you in the face. God, he was handsome. No wonder your brain decided to love him. But you couldn't let yourself slip back under. You'd worked far too hard.

He and Vil shared a look. One of complete confusion. You had no idea why, but it made you feel nauseous.

"I'm sorry!" Vil spoke up, "kidnapped you? Is there something I'm missing here?"

"No," Rook said, tightening his grip again, this time more of a hug, than a hold. "Normally your jokes amuse me to no end, but this one isn't funny."

"Says the man who tracked me to a cabin I rented, and broke in in the middle of the night!" You shouted, now attempting to kick him in the shins. This had no effect.

"Told you," Vil hissed as he touched his still bleeding nose, looking in his compact mirror.

"Mon lapin, you know me well enough to know that waiting is not-"

You finally got a good angle and kneed him right between his legs. With an "oomph" he dropped you, and you tried to run. You shouldn't have angered Vil. Because something had wrapped around your ankle and yanked you to the ground.

You looked at your foot, and saw a vine with roses wrapping itself around your legs, Vil standing over you, a pen in his hand glowing purple.

"Oh God, oh no, oh God, oh no, oh God," you started hyperventilating. There was no way this was happening. Seeing him had retriggered your delusions. That had to be it. Cause why the hell would a rose vine be wrapping itself around you?

"Mon lapin, you are such a strong little bunny. I've always loved that about you," Rook wheezed as he walked over to your continually tied up form.

"But playtime is over now. It's time to go home."

He pulled something small from his pocket, followed by a glowing purple pen. The small thing grew into a giant mirror, which Vil walked through with a huff. Rook gently picked you up, and walked through before you could even shout a strangled, "No!"

To make it fair for you, @mahi-does-some-art I will post my doodles too lol

[foryoupeko]

I saw someone asking why I labeled something as Peko/Buki even tho I'm a Kuzu/Peko shipper. Other then the fact multishippers exist, I didn't consider that as a Kuzu/Peko comic. Ibuki expressed more interest in Peko than Fuyuhiko.

Call me asexual but I don't think just because Fuyuhiko was close to Peko's hip, it should be considered explicit shipping.

So just to be clear on my stance, I am okay with you ppl labeling my art as any ship but there are some boundaries.

Don't label it with problematic ships like incest or age gap.

If the art is clearly about one couple, don't make it about another. But if it's just a group of ppl chilling then you can find whatever couple you like.

I personally hate Mahi/Peko but I know I'm gonna draw things exploring Mahiru's crush on Peko so that's on me if ppl interpret it that way. Just don't be weird, because I have no quams with never drawing Peko and Mahiru within 5 feet of each other. I've drawn Case 2 ten times and I've only drawn Mahiru once.

I made a list of Peko's relationship with others if you wanna know my stance on her ships.

Hajime -I will never let people forget Hajime has a canon crush on Peko. Besides that, Hajime is Peko's first true friend. Outside of Fuyuhiko, Hajime is the only person Peko feels comfortable confiding in her secrets. He doesn't judge and is very kind. Meanwhile Hajime goes to Peko when he needs a cool headed and rational opinion.

Chiaki - Queerplatonic, they snuggle a lot. Chiaki is chill and her games makes it easier for Peko who has no experience talking to people have things to relate to. Peko understands when Chiaki is emotionless for the most part and then burst into excitement when it's something she's passionate about. They developed their own little language in those situations.

Nagito - Nagito likes to take advantage of Peko’s kindness and clings to her. Peko doesn’t mind hanging out with Nagito but stares dagger into him when he’s being too forward with others (he doesn’t read social cues so he’s not gonna catch it). Nagito thinks of himself as a diet Fuyuhiko. As long as Peko provides support, he'll look out for her.

Teruteru - He's super turned on by Peko but gets flustered when she genuinely cares about him (turns out he does not have a mommy kink). Peko enjoys Teruteru teaching her about cooking so the two eventually bond over that.

Imposter - Peko’s best friend on the island. They both relate to not knowing who they’re supposed to be. At the same time, they don’t see each other as just victims. They’re both people trying to grow and become better. When these two are together some say they're TOO COOL (actually Ibuki is the only one that said this)

Mahiru - Mahiru has a giant crush on Peko. At first she believe she knows what’s best for her and tries to takes her away from Fuyuhiko. Once she accepts Peko doesn’t want her help, she tries to be happy for Peko and Fuyuhiko.

Hiyoko: Is jealous of Peko so she lashes out at her a lot. Originally it was for looking mature/sexy and gardening Mahiru’s attraction. But after she learned of Peko’s past, she’s jealous that she didn’t have her own bodyguard to protect her from the multiple assassination attacks she went through.

Ibuki: Queerplatonic, they kiss A LOT. Ibuki loves seeing Peko awkwardly cheer for her at concerts (imagine Pearl from Steven Universe type of awkward) Peko made Ibuki realize that quiet is okay. Because only when it’s quiet, she can hear Peko’s heart beat speed up. I think they would be a cute fling but these two come from two different worlds. Ibuki is a party rocking planet and Peko is a silent moon. Maybe if the stars aligned they could've made it work. But that doesn't mean you can't appreciate eclipses.

Mikan: Mikan’s ability to read micro facial expressions helps her interpret a lot of Peko’s hidden emotions. Peko likes Mikan but Mikan mistaken Peko’s quietness with secret resentment (she can read that Peko isn’t mad but sometimes mental illness makes you ignore facts). Mikan is had to get close to and Peko doesn't have the social understanding to truly know her.

Gundham: He has adopted her as his own. He feels the need to protect this person on par with his traumatic backstory. She must realize this too, that’s why she keeps flocking to him and his four dark devas. Meanwhile Peko only understands 50% of what he’s saying but she’s trying. Sonia (and Gonta in non despair AU) has to interpret sometimes. Giant Big Brother and Little Sister energy.

Sonia: Sonia is the extrovert who adopts an introvert. Sonia wants to hang out with all her classmates and one of the few who doesn't see Peko cool demeanor as disinterest. Sonia is the only one who can relate to Peko's isolation and only she knows the kind of loneliness that can come with being around others. Peko doesn't realize this on her part and it hurts Sonia. But Sonia doesn't stop trying.

Kazuichi: Scared and aroused by Peko. I head anon one time his trash picking robot accidentally took Peko’s sword and it exploded. Kazuichi was so scared to admit it to Peko but once he did - Peko was more concerned about him than her sword. He’s convinced she’s in love with him and begs Fuyuhiko to ask her out for him. Peko bluntly declines.

Nekomaru - Nekomaru passionately talks with Peko about a lot of things. At first it was Kendo, then it was training, proper diet, and it spiraled into Nekomaru talking excitably about his day. Peko is a good listener but even she can go deaf from all the yelling. Ibuki bails her out sometimes. I think Nekomaru and Sonia are the only people who know how to push Peko out of her comfort zone without overstepping. Ibuki can be too excited in getting Peko to do new things. Hajime and Chiaki doesn't see a problem with Peko doing her own thing.

Akane - The girls bond over being asexual together. No talk about love or mushy stuff. They talk with battle! At least according to Akane. Peko is hesitant to train with Akane because she believes only someone strong like Sakura could handle her blade. Akane takes that as an open challenge and tries to blindside Peko until she takes her seriously. Akane does have to learn boundaries at one point. Maybe the person who grew up in constant danger doesn't want to keep looking over her shoulders in case her classmates attack her.

Fuyuhiko - Ultimately, though everything, this blog will always be a Kuzu/Peko blog. Growing up, Fuyuhiko developed a crush on Peko but never acted on it. Only after a chance conversation with Sakura about what being in love is like, Peko realized in middle school she is in love with Fuyuhiko. By that point their relationship is strained. Fuyuhiko is constantly telling Peko he doesn't need a tool and pretend they don't know each other. Peko doesn't want to be forgotten by Fuyuhiko, this person she spent everyday with. She planned on asking him out, as equals, but then Twilight Syndrome Murder happened. There was no time for love when there was so much hate in his heart. Eventually after everything, the two realizes they need each other. Fuyuhiko only pushed Peko away because he thought she couldn't grow as a person if she was constantly worried about him. Peko realizes she can still care and protect Fuyuhiko as a fellow warrior by his side. These two understand each other so well that they don't need to talk. But this also leads to terrible miscommunications.

Something that I think is very important about the Servamps is that they should leave little love bites on their Eves all the time, and something that I think is very important about the Eves is that they find this completely, utterly adorable. 

To be a Servamp is to be considered other, to be considered monstrous; but to be called cute, to be shown smiles and offered affection, to be met with love from their very favourite people when baring a tiny little bit of their vampiric nature makes them forget for a little bit. Their Eves will laugh and coo at their loving little bites, will reach for their fangs without fear to admire them like others would do with their kittens’, and they feel loved, so very loved, in their own special way.

I initially played ACNH for 300 hours in between release day - july of 2020, and never played the 2.0 update or the HHP dlc until recently! So I decided to make a second ACNH spread with the goals to: experience as much of the 2.0 update as possible, beat HHP, complete all the bugs and fish in the museum (I have the fossils done and I will finish art another time).

I had a ton of fun but this was the longest grind I've ever done. I still have nightmares waiting like 5 hours for that damn giraffe stag to spawn my fucking god. Super worth it though bc this was the first time catching all bugs and fish even though I've played CF and NL :}

The Lily of the Valley sticker is a freebie I got from MariKrekeler!

Writing typed below!

rating: 8.5 played: sp 2023 port: nintendo switch favorite? Y replayable? Y recommend? Y series: animal crossing

comments:

Dagnel (YT) inspired me to pick the game back up

I look so cute in my work uniform >.<

the hopeful goal is to finish bugs, fish, and flowers

forcing the villagers on vacation to work and go to school is wild T^T

I love the evolution of adding new items like partitions and nature sounds

I didn't expect to do check-ups

OMG IT'S BAMS BDAY WHEN I PLAY AGAIN AND JULIAN IS HERE (my two faves)

decorating all the buildings does get tiring

i really love the venue decor

Bam gave me the pumpkin soup recipe while wearing my fruits basket sweater T^T!!!!!!!!!!

i can only play in short bursts as it's not as fun when playing alone and it's so grindy and long

an apparel shop is a really fun idea

kk concert goes pretty hard

IT TOOK FIVE FUCKING HOURS TO CATCH THE GIRAFFE STAG T^T

i haven't played aa4 yet but klavier reminds me of Julian esp bc julian was also in a band and had a falling out with a band member (ive played aa4 since then and can confirm theyre the exact same person lmfao)

8 FUCKING HOURS FOR THE MAHI MAHI

okay the rest of the writing is my checklist of bugs and fish i needed to catch and ... yall im not typing that who cares about that anyways T_T

Summary

This was brutal. I curse the name of giraffe stags, mahi-mahis, and Dagnel. I had a lot of fun with HHP and I'm happy to be done with 3/4 of the museum, but my god at what cost? I wish my 2020 self did like a small grind to get these pier fish because why the hell did it take me 8 hours for the mahi-mahi T^T. Enough complaining, I highly enjoyed happy home paradise. I never played HHD for ACNL so this was a fun surprise and I loved the range of homes you could design. I also loved how there were overarching goals to complete: school, cafe, restaurant, hospital, clothing store, and when those were all done you were treated to a KK rave. I also enjoyed seeing my favorite villagers again and getting to play in seasons I hadn't previously played in ACNH. I have mixed feelings about Harv's island. I like that a ton of characters are brought back but I think some of them could've been integrated on the onto the main island better, like reese and cyrus having an add on to nook's shop and also give us another nook shop upgrade T^T. I miss playing with friends but it seems I might be making plans to play with Grimspark! Perhaps in the future I'll pick up this game again to finish art and flowers but that'll be in 2024 me problem. Tired of grinding T^T.

Hii I I'm back 😂

Okay so I would not have guessed English was not your first language 👀😳 you are doing amazingly well!

21 parts!! *fainting* I'm sooo happy to hear that haha Please please in your words - get over yourself and post that stupid (not stupid) chapter 4 😂 - I say this in the most loving and polite way possible 😁🥰 butttt obviously what I really mean is don't stress about it too much and post only when you're happy and comfortable with it (we'll be patiently waiting 😊). I'm glad to hear you're excited for the rest of it though!! 😁

On another note... My curiosity got the better of me 😆 Gentle Cottagecore Emoji Asks 🌱🥛🍯🐄🌳🐓🐇🌲🥞⛰️ answer as many as you like

(as always no pressure to respond) 😊

Ta

🐨

Hi Aussie anon friend 🥰

Took me a while to get to your message (April is this crazy busy month for me every single year, but in a mostly positive way), but here we are.

Yeah, the writing thing is delicate and very fickle. But I've been writing for 15+ years at this point and it rarely stresses me out anymore. I just gotta do things in my own time and remind myself from time to time to trust the process. We'll get there, always do in the end. Patience is key.

Thanks for sending those emoji asks, I'll be answering them under the cut 💕

Hugs to you 💜🌻

🌱 Seedling: What is a scent you find relaxing?

Sandalwood & the scent of the air when you walk through the woods after heavy rain

🥛 Milk: What is a food you find comforting when you are sad?

I dealt with some stuff in the past, so I’m not an "eat my feelings away" person anymore these days, and I’m really trying to prevent finding comfort in food or spending money when I feel sad, so I don’t have a specific food. In fact, I really struggle with eating when I’m sad these days, a complete 180 from when I was younger. 

🍯 Honey: What is one thing you like about yourself?

Personality wise - my kindness. A lot of people think I’m faking that or playing it up, but I’m genuinely not. I just don’t see the point in making anyone’s life harder or miserable when I can spend my time putting smiles on people’s faces and leave them with good memories instead. Physically - probably my eyes. I like the dark color of them and the way people tell me I have kind eyes. So that.

🐄 Cow: What is one other tumblr blog you really appreciate?

Picking one is impossible, really, cause we’re all here for different reasons and good at different thing and I’m just glad we get to share this space together and love the thing we love.

I’d like to shout out some of my dear friends though. Tay @taydaq for her incredible art and being an all around lovely person who’s always there for others.

Mahi @mahi-wayy / @bangazaii for being a complete sweetheart and our lovely fic writing sessions and idea spitballing sessions / rarepair shenanigans in our dms.

Shanie @shanie-the-komania-toyaddict for always being there when shit gets rough and calling me out on my bullshit, but never judging (& also writing the most beautiful kayfabe compliant steenerico fic + side stories).

Carla @samijey for providing me/us with the most beautiful gifs and the most gorgeous writing (and giving me a chance when it was easier not to).

And last but not least my dear friend E. @bremmommye who’s been my friend and comfort person in & out of the internet for many years by now and who I miss dearly cause we rarely ever get to see each other in "real life" (that's what living on opposite ends of the same country and being busy does).

I love all my moots and my followers and all the people I follow who don’t follow me back, but these people are the ones that have carved out that extra bit of space in my heart for themselves and made themselves a forever home in some shape or form. Sorry, didn’t mean to get that mushy, but I really love talking about my friends.

🌳 Tree: What is one thing in your future you are looking forward towards?

Honestly, it goes hand in hand with the answer above, I think. Being able to watch the people I adore, family, friends, acquaintances, strangers I have yet to meet, grow and evolve and live authentic lives that they’re feeling happy and fulfilled with. That’s what makes me happy - seeing the people around me happy. 

🐓 Chicken: What is a comfort movie/show for you?

Sooo many. But one constant is The Princess Bride. Another one is The Breakfast Club. Grey’s Anatomy (very early seasons), Skam, Legally Blonde and more recently Heartstopper. I could go on and on, there’s a whole lot of them. 

🐇 Bunny: What’s a song that you really like?

If you could see my music library - it’s WILD. And I love every single song. I listen to music basically every single minute I’m awake and able to. So picking one song - good god. I’ll give you my 5 most recent played ones.

Thoughts of a child - The Lathums

Dublin in Ecstasy - Inhaler

Dreams - The Snuts

I bet you look good on the Dancefloor - Arctic Monkey

Poundshop Kardashians - Sam Fender

🌲 Pine: Do you prefer the cold, or the heat?

The heat. Don’t love the heat, but I can stand it a lot better than being cold.

🥞 Pancake: What is your favorite breakfast food?

Not a big breakfast person, don’t have a sweet tooth either (not anymore I should say), so probably something savory. I had this yummy grilled veggie & hummus on rye bread breakfast sandwich when I was traveling the other day, that one came to mind. On a normal day, I’ll just have a cup of tea (no sugar, no milk alternative), a handful of almonds, and a banana or an apple to hold me over till lunch. But yeah, if I’m going for actual breakfast, I prefer savory over sweet. 

⛰️ Mountains: Would you rather live in the mountains, city, beach, or the forest?

Grew up living near the forest and spending a lot of time playing in the woods as a kid, lived in a couple a large cities over the years, now living close to the mountains, but still in general vicinity of the city (albeit a smaller one), I’m really enjoying being able to go for a hike in the mountains if I need to catch a break. Reconnecting with nature and the quiet from time to time is real nice.

Secret Santa: dishes

@mahi-does-some-art

Puff!! Remember when you said you my secret santa match was very lucky? Yeah. I had to step away from my PC to laugh for a bit. 

This year I ventured out into the world of writing scripts/audio drama-esque texts, and it was a lot of fun to do this with this gang. Imagine this to be a vaguely canon divergence AU where Kuro and Sloth are both a part of one another but also Sloth is the weird twin.

I hope you enjoy!! Merry Christmas (Eve)! 

.

The date: Christmas Eve

The cast: Mahiru, Sakuya, Kuro, Sloth

The problem at hand: dishes 

.

[interior: the Shirota residence. The small apartment is decorated with what its inhabitant perceived to be christmas-themed; there's a little more than a healthy amount of red, gold and green.]

[An old radio by the living room door is playing what seems to be a loop of Christmas songs. It has almost reached a number of repetitions that would instill bloodlust even within the calmest person on earth. Unfortunately, neither of the beings inside this room have a lot of self-control.]

[SAKUYA and KURO are sitting on the floor, next to a small Christmas tree with presents piled up next to it. SLOTH is lounging in front of the TV, staring at the blank screen like it is showing something interesting.]

[there are noises from the kitchen, the clink of dishes in the sink, running water.]

Sakuya: This sucks. 

Kuro: Feel free to offer your help. 

Sakuya: Do I look like…?

Kuro: Yeah. 

Sakuya: (sitting up) Wait, what exactly makes you think I'd walk in there and offer to do the dishes? 

Kuro: Your–

Sloth: (simultaneously) Your crush on him. 

Kuro: What it said. 

Sloth: (turns back to the TV with a shrug) 

Sakuya: That's a little childish now, isn’t it? 

Kuro: No you are childish. In fact–

Sloth: You’re twice more childish than the rest of us. 

Sakuya: You two are five times more childish.

Sloth: Okay but you are infinity times more childish, so checkmate. 

[KURO extends a fist towards the television. SLOTH'S hand snatches out, hesitating, before giving him a fist bump. It looks like this behavior is a recent development.]

Sakuya: I should have accepted Tsubaki’s invitation. But I expect him to be drunk by now, and that’s when he starts telling everybody how much he loves his friends. 

Kuro: Oh god.

Sakuya: So perhaps this is better.

Kuro: Slightly. 

Sakuya: Yeah. 

[A beat.]

Sakuya: Why is he like this. 

Kuro: Tsubaki? I always expected it to be a healthy mix of trauma and mental illness. 

Sloth: That's what people say about you, too. 

Sakuya: Hah. 

Kuro: (shrugs, like this is not something he can or wants to deny)

Sakuya: I meant Shirota, though.

Kuro: Do you expect my answer to change here? 

Sakuya: I didn’t really expect an answer. I was just making conversation. 

Kuro: He likes to be useful. This is probably fun for him. 

Sakuya: Not for us. 

Kuro: It's not about us, though. 

Sakuya: Urgh. 

[A beat.]

Sloth: Does Tsubaki's party have a karaoke machine? 

Kuro: I didn’t think you out of all people would be in favor of abandoning Mahiru like this.

Sloth: Don't imply that I'm a person. That's disgusting. 

Kuro: My bad. 

Sloth: Besides, I wouldn't abandon him. I just want to steal the karaoke machine. Naturally. 

Kuro: Naturally. 

Sakuya: I hate to disappoint you all but there's no karaoke this year. They're doing a board game marathon because karaoke doesn't have enough human interaction, apparently. 

Kuro: So, that's why you're here?

Sakuya: (noncommittal shrug) 

[The sounds from the kitchen have stopped. There are steps in the hallway.]

[MAHIRU stops at the door, looking at the three others in his living room. He seems a little stressed but it’s not a bad look on him. Truly, it’s hard to imagine him in a state where he isn’t stressed at all.]

Mahiru: Does anyone want something to drink?

Kuro: We're good.

Sakuya: We know where you keep the liquor. 

Kuro: Exactly. 

Mahiru: Ah… that's great, then. 

[MAHIRU walks towards the table and starts tinkering with the remaining cups and mugs on it. The display is a leftover from both breakfast and the cake they had in the afternoon – a lot of “oh no, leave it, I will use it later” and then you catch yourself drinking from an unused cup once that ‘later’ arrives.]

[It happens within the blink of an eye. SLOTH'S face grows restless, dangerous. It sits up, eying MAHIRU with pure, unfiltered focus.]

Sloth: Sit down. Now. Or else I'll slit your throat. 

Kuro: Wow. 

Mahiru: (blinks) Sorry? 

Sakuya: Yeah, sorry about that. 

Kuro: (trying to look like he is somehow not related to SLOTH at all) It doesn't speak for all of us, by the way.  

Sakuya: I agree with the sentiment, though. What's so important in the kitchen?

Mahiru: The dishes?

Sakuya: Okay, and now you're done with them. 

Mahiru: I still have to prepare our desserts.  

Kuro: I thought you did that yesterday. 

Mahiru: It still needs a bit of work. 

[SAKUYA rolls his eyes. KURO slaps his arm.]

Mahiru: Is there a problem? Can't you get along for one afternoon? 

Sakuya: Hey. We're being civil here. 

Kuro: Fighting is too exhausting. I refuse to kick that guy’s ass in my free time, I’m already doing it during working hours. 

Sakuya: You don’t work. 

Kuro: Fighting you is a full-time job. 

Sloth: (continues staring at Mahiru like a sleep paralysis demon)

Mahiru: I don't see your problem. 

[MAHIRU grabs a few empty cups and starts walking towards the kitchen again]

Sakuya: He doesn't get it. 

Kuro: Nope. 

Sakuya: Why doesn't he get it? 

Kuro: Because you can’t just say things to him. You need to hit him with a steel chair. Metaphorically speaking.

Sakuya: Wow, good thing you clarified that. 

Kuro: You're welcome.

Sakuya: I don’t want to say anything until we're one hundred percent certain that this is not an elaborate display of kink. Do you think he will get out a maid costume next? 

Kuro: No, that's still wrapped and under the tree. Right next to you. 

Sakuya: Nice. 

Kuro: (shrugs)

Sakuya: Full offense but I want to celebrate Christmas with him, not… (gestures vaguely, before realizing he doesn’t care all that much about hurting KURO’S or SLOTH’S feelings) you. 

Kuro: You need to say that to his face.

Sakuya: Thanks, I would rather die. 

Kuro: Well, if you're lucky, your problem will solve itself in about five to ten seconds. 

Sakuya: How so?

Kuro: (pointing at the empty space in front of the television SLOTH was sitting just seconds ago) 

Sakuya: … It's not going to kill him, right. 

Kuro: No. 

Sakuya: Are you just saying that because you don't want to get up?

Kuro: Wouldn't you like to know.

[A beat.]

Kuro: It wouldn't hurt him. 

Sakuya: (rising to his feet, a little nervous) Are you sure?

Kuro: Yes. It's a part of me. And I would never let anything or anyone harm Mahiru. 

Sakuya: Hm. That’s the one thing we can agree on, isn’t it. 

Kuro: That and our mutual dislike for theater kids. Does that mean nothing to you?

Sakuya: (snorts with laughter, then tries his hardest to make it seem like KURO didn’t just make him laugh) Okay. 

[SLOTH always moves like it’s not human. And of course it isn’t, but the uncanny fills out every little movement, every inch of its body. KURO may pass for a human from time to time but SLOTH refuses that privilege. It drags MAHIRU inside, gripping his festive snowman pullover so tight that it threatens to rip it apart.]

Sloth: Open. Now. 

[MAHIRU is forcefully positioned next to KURO and SAKUYA. SLOTH grabs a present from the pile and puts it into his hands.]

[Despite its rough exterior, and the intense expression in its eyes, SLOTH’S behavior seems less aggressive and more assertive; this is the driving force in this group when it comes to enforcing self-care. It prefers trickery but just like KURO, it has come to terms with the simple truth that you have to push MAHIRU towards his own wellbeing, with the gentleness of a high-speed train.]

Mahiru: But the–

Sloth: We’re here to celebrate with you.

Sakuya: (nodding along, his face gentle) Do you really think any of us care about Christmas? You know how I steal the Jesus figures from nativity scenes that make the mistake of putting him up before the 24th?

Mahiru: No, and I think I preferred not knowing that. 

Sakuya: (shrugs in a way makes it clear that he is not very sorry about this) I declined an invitation for a board games marathon to spend this day with you. 

Mahiru: You love board games. 

Sakuya: I love you more. 

[a beat.]

[He’s never openly said it before, and was waiting for the perfect moment. Perhaps with flowers involved. An Orchestra. He’s pretty sure he imagined rain, too.]

Mahiru: (softly) I just wanted it to be perfect. Because it’s the first time you celebrate with us. I know how important Tsubaki is to you and… I didn’t want to make you pick sides because I’m not your divorced parent, actually. 

Sakuya: Calling you Daddy is off the table, then?

Mahiru: I didn’t say that– Listen, it’s supposed to be a perfect day. And I like doing housework, you guys know that. You’re not making me do anything I dislike at gunpoint. 

Kuro: Except opening presents. 

Mahiru: There was a switch-blade involved, yes. With a candy-cane pattern.  

Sloth: (looking pleased with itself) Festive. 

Kuro: I am supposed to be mad at you but you wanted to stab someone with that on Christmas, so I suppose you stayed true to your word. 

Mahiru: (with a long sigh) Let me open a present, if that makes you happy. 

[MAHIRU squeezes the gift SLOTH gave him. It’s soft, giving in to his touch, the wrapping paper crinkling a little. He suspects that it might be a Christmas sweater.]

[The present is also very maid-costume-sized but MAHIRU doesn’t make that connection yet.]

Mahiru: Okay. 

[he braces himself for it, like receiving an act of kindness is somehow something he needs to emotionally prepare himself for. After a few seconds, he slowly pulls away the wrapping paper. He has a habit of removing all bits of sticky tape first and attempting to leave the wrapping in one piece, but once he tears into it, his movements become at least a little bit less careful.]

Mahiru: That is… 

[MAHIRU pauses. His face is slightly redder than usual.]

Mahiru: (groans) Very funny. A maid dress. 

Kuro: You’re welcome. (pauses) Wait. That’s not my present. 

Sloth: No. 

Kuro: (tilting his head) Great minds think alike?

Mahiru: Just exactly how many maid dresses will I find in that pile, friends?

Kuro: Two. 

Sakuya: And counting. 

Kuro: Oh my god. 

Mahiru: I hate you guys. Worst Christmas ever. I’m going to the kitchen. 

[but he doesn’t move. He’s smiling. For once, he doesn’t look stressed at all.]

Introduction:

Johnson Witehira is an Aotearoa graphic designer and artist. He is recognised as an expert on Māori Design with his most notable work being his creation of the first ever Māori typeface, named Whakarare. This typeface is unique in many ways, most significantly for its authenticity of being made by Māori for Māori purposes. His artwork has a strong digital focus with his three main areas of his interest being; technology, identity and post-colonial theory. Witehira was born in Taumarunui in 1982 and grew up in Gisbourne from Māori and Pakeha descent. He now lives in Feilding with his wife Michelle Duff, a NZ journalist, and their two children. He studied at Whanganui School of Design where he studied Computer Graphic Design and Graphic Design and earned a Scholarship to study abroad at Nottingham University and a university in Austria for four months at each of these institutions. He completed his masters in 2007 and then went on to study a Doctorate in Māori Arts at Massey University, which he completed in 2013. Many of his pieces revolve around the Māori myth of how the Earth came to be with Ranganui the sky father and Papatuanuku the earth mother and how they were joined together and pulled apart. Witehira also has a love for video game graphics as this was his dream as a child and these influences can be seen in some of his work. His fusion of traditional Māori elements and modern western aspects of design set his work apart as he paves the way for the future of an inclusive and diverse design environment for Aotearoa.

Interview:https://www.thebigidea.nz/stories/tane-lives-at-art-in-the-dark 

During what hours of the day do you feel most inspired?

Either really early or really late. When your brain is half asleep and you don’t really question the weird thoughts that come into your head.

How would a good friend describe your aesthetic or style?

No idea. But if I was to generalise from a bunch of them it might be, bold, high contrast and filled with ideas.

What aspect of your creative practice gives you the biggest thrill?

Making new stuff.

How does your environment affect your work?

I can work anywhere really. It just depends on how motivated I’m feeling on the day. An environment with other people is always a good thing.

Do you like to look at the big picture or focus on the details?

Both. You need the big picture to bring it all together. At the same time the details are where the craftsmanship comes through. I think any good art or design project considers both.

What's your number one business tip for surviving (and thriving) in the creative industries?

Making good work is pretty important and this comes with practice. Networking is probably the most under-valued skill. No matter how good you are, if people don’t know what you’re doing they aren’t going to be sending you invites. And throw proposals at everything. Contests, competitions, art residencies and art projects.

Which of your projects to date has given you the most satisfaction?

Tough one. Probably the Waituhi street art project down Opera House Lane in Wellington. I wasn’t really sure if it was gonna work, as it was my first piece of street art. I had an awesome team though and the end result is pretty cool.

Who or what has inspired you recently?

Loving the mahi by illustrator, printmaker, DJ extraordinaire, James Paratii. The man has a sensitive hand.

Tell us a bit about your creative background.

A chronology of my creative background and things that influence me: painting, Bruce Lee movies, Street Fighter, Ren and Stimpy, Wolverine, Quake, Robyn Kahukiwa, Da Vinci, Josef Muller-Brockman, Hiroshige and Hokusai, Raharuhi Rukupo, Shepherd Fairey and Lisa Reihana.

Tell us about Tane Lives and why you wanted to be part of Art in the Dark?

I wanted Tane Lives to be part of Art in the Dark because we need more Maori-ness in the mono-cultural landscape that is Aotearoa. The work itself is a projected art work, shown on a large tree It gives a short account of the Maori genesis narrative from Te kore, through to Rangi and Papa and them being pushed apart.

What do you like about large outdoor works? Tell us about The New York Times Square project and what impact this had on your career?

Public art lets us bring art to the people. In saying that, I the art has to be good and it has to connect to them. Otherwise it might as well be back in the gallery.

The Times Square project was buzzy, for lack of a better word. Having your works shown on such a scale in that place of the world, and being flown to New York for a week while it all happens. Can’t imagine I’ll be doing that anytime soon.

You’ve also created smaller works – the Maori alphabet blocks and Maori typeface. Can you tell us a bit about these projects?

As an artist and designer I’m really interested in how we can bring Maori visual culture back into our lives. Before our Pakeha ancestors arrived design was on everything, our vehicles (waka of course), our tools, clothes, homes and people. Maori design was on everything. Nowadays it’s treated as ‘taonga’, distanced from us. Both of these projects were a chance to bring Maori design back.

As someone with a keen interest in typography I thought it would be great if we had some Maori typefaces, created by Maori for Maori. I’m interested in the idea of a typeface as might a vehicle for tinorangatiratanga, and how a Maori typeface might be one way to reclaim the the printed page.

What did your Doctorate explore?

Unlike the customary Maori arts (ta moko, whakairo, raranga), there are no tikanga or protocol for Maori designers. In my doctoral thesis I tried to develop a platform for Maori designers by exploring both the tikanga and aesthetics in carving. I also used a method of graphical analysis to try to identify what might be term Maori elements and Principles of design.

What are some of your other upcoming projects?

I’ve got two new exhibitions in early 2015, one at Pataka Gallery in Porirua and one in Paul Nache in Gisborne.

What place is always with you, wherever you go?

Gisborne. It’s where I spent my ‘formative’ years. Growing right next the beach as kid is winning.

What's the best way to listen to music, and why?

Loud and live if possible. Memory making stuff

You are given a piece of string, a stick and some fabric. What do you make?

A fire.

What's the best stress relief advice you've ever been given?

Other than scotch. Probably exercise.

What’s great abouxxt today?

Everything

What’s your big idea for 2015?

A playable artwork which will be first shown at Paul Nache next year. I hope it’s gonna break the mould a little, annoy some people, and give us a different perspective on our history.

Overview:

Quotes:

“For me, it's about doing the coolest work I can and people will either take notice of it or they won’t.”

“Some people hate commuting but I enjoy having that time to draw and think, and I get a lot of my ideas when I'm travelling.” 

“I spend most of my time thinking about how we, Māori, did things in the past, and how we might apply our mātauranga (knowledge) to contemporary problems. In my art this goal is realised through collaborative projects with ngā iwi (tribes) Māori, where I’m given the privilege and responsibility of bringing important tūpuna (ancestors) and stories to life.”

We can't undo the things that our ancestors have done to each other—the lands taken, the promises broken, and some of the dreams forgotten—but I think as designers, as artists, as whatever you are doing here; it's your responsibility to imagine this type of New Zealand that hasn't yet happened.
