Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

Jour "taking the future transmigration and regression of my son to my early self-impossed tomb" Thames.

Jour "breaking my own plate to leave half my power in my tomb for a stranger abd the other half in an innocent village that has nothing to do with me" Thames.

Jour "secrets and suicide" Thames.

No one knows exactly how much she knew but the implications haunt me. If she knew there was someone hunting APs, then she put a target in Harris Village. If she didn't, then she just decided one day to go to break her own plate and die, leaving her 8yo child and Deruth to mourn her. And every single implication is like that.

Everytime I read a fic where ogCale didn't transmigrate and opens her journal, I cry a river because wdym her mom expected him to leave his body and identity and instead of trying to fight against that, she prepared an apology gift for a stranger? What the fuck. The only warning she gave him was that cryptic shit about how he would have a peculiar experience with time, which, mind you, he himself said he didn't understand what she meant until he was forty.

And the information she left was so important and useful but also, why would she leave instructions to kill a reincarnator and a list of places with APs unless she knew about WS?

Just, why on earth did she just accept that and planned in consequence. No wonder Heniroksoo's feelings for his mother were described as "sorrow, understanding and resentment". I'd threw up if I were him. Imagine being him and learning that the mom you lost as a kid and you loved deeply had already gave up on your life before everything even happened.

I hope she had her reasons? I'm sure she did. I hope.

Sounds hard for her but imagine being the other party here (A.K.A. OgCale): his dad throws money at him and agrees with whatever he says instead of actually parenting him, his butler who was next to him since baby left with no greetings whatsover, and his mon pulled this. When two out of those three people do better, he's not even there anymore.

Why are adults around him like this?

He's a "I'd do anything for my loved ones" but everyone else was a "let's sit and wait and do nothing" about him.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Reading: A hundred ways to kill a heartthrob. Imma be honest, I'm just reading it out of boredom. I can't click with the characters but I'm also too curious about the ending to drop it out now.

Last Series: Evil. Actually an amazing serie!! Pretty heavy on the religion but there's a piece of cake for evrybody. Religious or not. Definitely check it out!!

Last Movie: Ultraman(the last Netflix version). I'm pretty late on the hype but I liked it. It was a cute movie.

Coffee or Tea: Now, I can NOT choose between the two okay. Both is good.

Working on: (now that's a big word lmao) daydreaming about a tcf android au and I guess some of my OCs designs. Man, I have so many WIPs in my drawer.

Reading: Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop. I've already read this but I wanted to reread it because it's officially one of my comfort books. And also, many, many fanfictions, ahem.

Last Series: Gachiakuta. Haven't finished watching it yet, but it has a unique plot with loveable characters and the lore is quite intriguing as well. The artstyle is also just ugh, AMAZING! The music is catchy too~

Last Movie: Dead Poets Society. It's a good movie which teaches you valuable life lessons and the characters are people the audience can relate to greatly, especially the protagonist. Beware of the ending, though.

Last Song: Rendezvous by AHOF. I've never been a K-pop fan or stan before, but that was before I discovered AHOF. All of their songs are great and I've been listening to them nonstop every single day.

Coffee or Tea: I can't drink coffee because it gives me heart palpitations and is overall bad for my health. So tea it is, specifically honey lemon tea. Yum.

Working on: Another TCF Modern Au fanfic with Cale and KRS as its protagonists as per usual. Will try to experiment a different writing style and whatnot. And I should probably work on my WIPs...

Last movie: I don't really watch movies so the last one i did was like, Spider man: No way home, right after its release (which year was that..?)

Last song: Isabella's lullaby from The Promised Neverland. Listening to it without the music is a routine therapy atp ^^

Coffee or tea: TEA!!!! THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH TEA FOR ME!!! I would've liked coffee as well but i physically am incapable of swallowing the bitterness. Milk tea is my every day comfort drink <33

Working on: Uhh just started the first chapter of a tcf torture Cale fic,,,,lots of wip in the background as well but this one's my current focus. Also working on getting a sleep schedule that involves sleeping before 4am.

Reading: Currently reading two works simultaneously, one of which is 'Becoming a god by playing the prophet' (cheesy name, I know), a originally Chinese novel & Apothecary diaries light novel 7. Love both the MCs very very much, would totally reccomend checking em out!

Last Series: Last completed series would probably be my Christmas book marathon of Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus & Trials of Apollo. Unfortunately I didn't make it in time for the 4th and 5th book of TOA before Christmas but it was so worthwhile.

Last Movie: Yikes, the last time I went to the cinema was probably when Barbie came out.. but from the comforts of my home, that would be Coco, one of my favourite timeless movies!

Last Song: This would be Alan Walker's newest song Broken Strings, which I am currently listening to on repeat for the 100th time probably...

Coffee or Tea: Tea for sure! I do love the occasional coffee but they're sometimes too strong for me so I'd switch to sweet teas instead like chrysanthemum or pu'er in a restaurant.

Currently working on: HOMEWORK. I NEED TO DO MY HOMEWORK BUT I'M BRILLIANT AT PROCRASTINATION HELP (procrastination for both my homework & ongoing fic, I promise there has been progress but school ig 😭)

Not to say that each of the stories describes only one single kind of love language; they are, after all, all novels that focus on Found Family, with many different types of relationships between characters that express their love for each other in as many different ways.

Yet, I’ve noticed how at the core of each of these three stories there is one specific act of love that recurs more than others, and that becomes the true Theme each novel revolves around.

In Lout of the Count’s Family, the main love language is providing food and a home.

“Home” is such an important concept in LCF that Cale collects houses like they were pokemon cards. The source of his trauma when he was a child as Kim Roksu was that he was not given sufficient food, and that where he lived was not truly a shelter where he could feel safe, just a place he was trapped in.

And I don’t think there are ever more than 2 chapters in a row without a character offering food to others, or asking if they’re hungry, if they’ve eaten, why haven’t you eaten, here have some apple pie!!

Cale uses his newfound money and power to make sure his loved ones are provided for. That’s how he adopts bonds with most of his new family.

The first thing Raon does after he’s freed from the prison he’s been trapped in all his life, is to leave food for this hopelessly weak human.

Choi Han, who has lived alone in a dangerous forest for decades, would do anything to protect his home.

The Crown Prince, who has been isolated and untrusting of everyone ever since his mother died, makes sure to always have cookies in his bedroom in case guests “break in” for a visit at any time of the day or the night.

I love you, you’ll never be hungry again. I love you, my home is your home.

In The S-Classes That I Raised, the main love language is words.

Yoojin’s powers are literally activated by telling people “I love you”. Because all he ever wanted was to say “I love you” to his brother one last time.

Because the tragedy that starts the story happens because Yoohyun loved and protected his hyung in secret for years. Silence creates misunderstandings, it creates distance, it leads to loss.

Loving someone isn’t enough, tell them! Reassure them. Remember what they say, because their words are important!!

Ever since the regression, Yoojin always let people know when he loves them and appreciates them. “You’re perfect, you’re cute, you’re so talented, you’re so handsome, you are loved.”

And as the novel progresses, whenever Yoojin is in pain, or doesn’t know what to do, he turns to Sung Hyunje because he needs to be reassured, he needs to know he did well, he needs to hear he is still important to the people he loves.

I love you, please know that I love you! I love you, please tell me you love me back.

And finally, in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, the main love language is time.

Time is one of the greatest sources of horrors in ORV. Eternities upon eternities of suffering, being trapped for ages in the same, hopeless loop, wishing for everything to just stop.

And yet, time is also the greatest gift characters give to each other.

Because the wounds Dokja suffered as a child, and then again and again through his whole life…. They need time to heal. They need so much time. They will probably take forever.

So let them take forever.

Despite how much pain and worry he causes his companions by giving up on himself over and over again, his companions never give up on him. And he doesn’t understand why!! He doesn’t think he’s worth it. But it’s not his choice, it’s theirs. And they will go through as many tries, as much pain, as much time as it takes, before they can finally save him.

got it from this twt post (has more stuff in the thread)

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

*silence. Choi Han sighs.*
