What’s up just a reminder that the Hula Girl stereotype can go to hell and is in part responsible for Hawai’i being the tourist destination and getting invaded by rich white people, and for Hawaiian culture being disrespected and appropriated
Here’s a few sources on the topic:
How America’s Obsession With Hula Girls Almost Wrecked Hawai’i (the site is weird but the research is legitimate, gives a good overview of the issue and references a lot of sources that are harder to get your hands on read: books)
“Pop” Goes Hawai’i: The Twentieth Century Origins of Tourism in Hawai’i and the Impact of U.S. Pop Culture on Women in the Islands of Aloha (this one is very long but a really good read)
Misperceptions of the “Hula Girl” (this one is a personal essay but it’s an entry in the University of Hawai’i’s academic newspaper)

She was called Phillis, because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, which was the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal.
In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!”
At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At the age of twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen enlightened men in robes and wigs.
She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and some verses from the Bible, and she also had to vow that the poems she had composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination, until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet.
Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States.

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

21 22 and 23 cuz theyre all fic relevant lol
which character is the best liar? worst?
IN THE FIC, NOT IRL OBVIOUSLY (which goes for all of these). Hm. Best is probably Peter ngl. He give the vibes he's a sneaky fuck. Worst... I'll get back o you on that because there are several that I think could be the worst for different reasons.
2. which character swears the most? least?
Most? You'd think it'd be Rick but it's actually Jon. Least? Trevorn. I can feel it in my bones. That man goes "oh fiddlesticks!" when something goes wrong.
3. which character has the best handwriting? worst?
Hmmmmm.... depends on what you consider "neat handwriting lol". And I don't want to givee too much away. Worst is def Trabin I think.

this post is going to stay up forever, but I'm going to reblog this post with a picture of a funny cat I drew wearing big boots. the reblog that has the cat in it will only be available for 5 minutes so good luck if you manage to see or find that version.

Anyway, ignoring my last post, I have been roped into Shenanigans™️ yet again. This time, it happened on my discord server, where @eliasofsunhillow roped me into writing a... Union Tour Among Us fanfic. No, shockingly, this was not my idea this time. So. Yeah. When we finish that, we'll work out a way to get it to you guys :D
