If Toue made it so the Alpha’s could grow up or have child models and switch them out as the years progressed, Clear’s story would honestly be more wild.

I always headcanoned if he had a childhood, he’d probably be the one to challenge Toue the most, especially if he was being cruel or trying to brainwash his brothers. They would’ve probably grown up to be loyal servants and Clear would’ve run away with his grandfather to get away from the mind control but I imagine he would’ve always thought about his brothers and how to save them or if they were safe. I imagine when Aoba caught him talking to the Alpha’s in that alleyway, he was trying to get them to join him or explaining himself to his brothers he couldn’t connect with because of Toue.

Just my headcanon and honestly it explains why I write him like that in my fanfics cause his bad route in Re:Connect kind of gave those vibes.

Just read a Clear/Sei fanfic and this thought came into my head. What if Sei meets Clear (Either during or after they defeat Toue) and he thinks of Clear like any of the other Alpha androids. Like they meet and Sei’s looks at Aoba like “Oh wow! You have your own Alpha! I used to have so many of them, aren’t they so helpful”, not knowing how awkward and wild it sounds since he’s been raised around them since birth. I feel like he wouldn’t be mean to him, just probably wondering why Clear doesn’t act like his usual servant bots.

Are you 🫵 pissed off about the Lilo and Stitch monstrosity remake? Do you want to know how you can actually make a difference in supporting the people and ecosystems of Hawaii?

Tourism is a big issue in Hawaii (which the remake got rid of the original's commentary on because it makes foreigners look bad). I'm not gonna promote it, BUT I know that realistically, thousands of people arrive here every single day by the airplane-ful. And the majority of them aren't educated on the socio-cultural and economic impacts of tourism. SO, I'm making this post in an effort to educate visitors. If you or someone you know is visiting or moving to Hawaii (whether by circumstances in or out of your control), here are some suggestions on how you can give back!

You can donate to the Hawaii Community Foundation, which has been instrumental in giving aid to the displaced community of Lahaina after the Maui wildfires in 2023. They also provide scholarships to students of under-represented communities.

If you're interested in visiting Kualoa Ranch, you can do their Mālama Experience where you get your hands dirty giving back to the ‘āina (land)!

There are other organizations you can join to volunteer with, too, like Kupu and Mālama Maunalua. Check them out; maybe you can help with a beach cleanup or plant native trees! These are both non-profit organizations that accept monetary donations.

Visit the Bishop Museum to learn about Hawaiian history and culture! They also have events focused on sustainability and conservation.

If you're visiting Hilo on the Big Island, go visit the Laulima Nature Center! They're a non-profit aimed at protecting Hawaii's native species, and they even have an online store that ships to the US mainland and internationally! (After I post this, I'm gonna head on over and get myself a manu o Kū pin ♡)

A few other tips I have:

DO: Respect the locals' homes. Several beaches and hiking trails have access points in residential areas. Please be mindful to keep your voices down when passing by, and park ONLY in designated parking areas.

DO: Wear reef-safe sunscreen! Sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate are banned in Hawaii because they are known to damage coral reefs.

DON'T: Approach wildlife, particularly honu (sea turtles) and 'īlio holo i ka uaua (Hawaiian monk seals). Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from turtles and at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from monk seals. If you see someone harassing animals, report them to the statewide NOAA Marine Wildlife Hotline: (888) 256-9840. You can also contact the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources.

DON'T: Collect sand, rocks, or other natural items to bring home with you. This is to protect the ecosystems and also out of respect for Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians), who have cultural beliefs regarding lava rocks in particular. Taking lava rocks is extremely disrespectful.

DON'T: Litter! Please throw away your waste in proper trash cans. If you see a bin that says "ʻōpala," that's a trash can!

Many Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) are moving to the US mainland because the cost of living in Hawaii has been driven up so high (because of people moving here), they can't afford to live in their ancestral home. So, if you are going to visit or move to Hawaii, please:

- Make the effort to support local businesses, especially those owned by Native Hawaiians!

- Educate yourself and your loved ones about actual Hawaiian culture!

- Try Hawaiian food, like poi!

- Learn some Hawaiian words and don't be afraid to ask how to pronounce words correctly!

- Donate to a food bank!

- Watch films and read books written by Native Hawaiians!

My hope is that whoever sees this post will use it to educate themselves, their friends, and their families who are considering visiting.

My background is in sustainability and the environment, so that's what I know to suggest off the top of my head. If any Kānaka Maoli read this post and have suggestions to add, please do!

Thinking about Clear’s route for like the 300th time this week and just realized how insane his life with his grandfather was.

His grandfather was a whole fugitive, wanted by the government for stealing valuable research (Also research that would’ve exposed his plans to mind control the island). So he tells Clear to hide his face and never show it to anyone. Not because Clear was ugly, it was literally so no one reported them if they saw one of Toue’s androids just waltzing around.

And let’s be real, Toue was probably on the hunt for those two and was probably so hyped when he showed up at Platinum Jail. And honestly I think when the Alpha’s showed up, that was Toue about to have him kidnapped and taken by force back to the tower but Aoba showed up and ruined his plans.
