sun: what makes you feel like you?

Sitting at my desk, being awake while everyone else is sleeping, specifically organized browser tabs, black dresses, tall shoes, and a good winged eyeliner!

pluto: what is your biggest aspiration and why?

Some day I would like to own a shop full of unique things! Vintage, upcycled, handmade. It combines my favorite things and even if it was just a side project I would really enjoy it. Honestly I’ve been thinking about it recently and right now there is nothing big keeping me from starting this except myself.

2 - that I've not seen any blogs outside of 'poly' tumblr address. I don't expect everyone who isn't polynesian to be able to tell the difference between our cultures, but the design and naming of the characters has so blatantly ignored the strict distinctions between our cultures and islands and I guess I'm worried that people are going to use Moana as an actual reference to 'polynesian culture' after the movie comes out. -cont-

3 - and also when it comes to cosplay I've seen many poly blogs warn people against cosplaying Maui or any other characters sporting tatau in the same way it's best not to wear sugar skull make up even in cosplay, only for these bloggers to get shouted down for asking people to respect what we barely have any ownership over anymore. I really wanted this movie to be something that young Maori and children throughout polynesia could see and take an interest in cultures and languages -cont-

4 - that are on the verge of being endangered. I never had this when I was a kid, I was /horrified/ at being Maori when I was a kid because my heritage was only ever the butt of a joke when it was brought up. I'm so worried that it's going to turn into a costume party for kids every else and nothing more for Polynesian children. Anyway, I was hoping you'd check out poly--nesian . tumblr - she's an amazing young Maori girl -cont-

5 - who really knows her stuff and has been dedicated in pointing the issues with Moana as we learn more about it and discussing where polynesian media needs to go. I'm really proud of Auli'i for getting the role - she's an amazing young girl and I hope she goes far after this, but there's just so much glaringly wrong with this project that the rest of the world seem to be glossing over because Disney has done one or two good things.

Don’t do it it’s spam
