Aquaman

Born to the humble lighthouse keeper, Thomas, and the powerful queen of Atlantis, Atlanna, Arthur Curry reluctantly embarks on a dangerous mission to find his roots. But, with his mother nowhere to be found, Arthur, who thinks he has harnessed his unlimited Atlantean abilities, finds himself on a collision course with his spiteful half-brother, King Orm. More and more, conflict is brewing, as Orm is trying to stir up a violent war with the surface dwellers, and crown himself Master of the Ocean after uniting the seven undersea kingdoms. Now, Arthur, along with his ally, the brave Atlantean Princess, Mera, must follow a faint trail of clues to find the Trident of Atlantis, a magic weapon that belonged to its first ruler, Atlan, and avert a devastating final confrontation between the two realms that would mean the death of billions. Will Arthur embrace his destiny and claim his rightful throne? You can watch it on Max or here

Once Were Warriors

Set in urban Auckland (New Zealand) this movie tells the story of the Heke family. Jake Heke is a violent man who beats his wife frequently when drunk, and yet obviously loves both her and his family. The movie follows a period of several weeks in the family's life showing Jake's frequent outburst of violence and the effect that this has on his family. The youngest son is in trouble with the police and may be put into a foster home while the elder son is about to join a street gang. Jake's daughter has her own serious problems which are a key element in the plot. This movie is definitely hard to watch but if you want you can here

Happy meow day!!! 🎉💕💐

I have a question for you which I would dearly love to know the answer to:

What was your favorite part of MMC to write?

(also, to anyone who hasn't read MMC - please do! It's magic!!! ✨✨✨)

Omg wings, you've been evil ganging these past few weeks without my knowing!!! 😭😭😭

My favourite part to write was absolutely fem!Hornigold. When the fic started, I didn't know there would be a Hornigold and then, I found out they'd cast someone for the character but I genuinely didn't think he'd get a whole ass episode and a personality lmao. (also my badass lesbian Hornigold had already been written and I'd fallen in love with her so it was too late to change but boy am I glad I didn't)

Ed in MMC - like in the show - seriously lacked any adults in his life who were good and kind and cared for him. And I needed someone like Hornigold who could be that for him, to ground him and shape him into the mage he was, but who was also someone he was absolutely inspired by. He got his all leather look from her, he learnt most of his tricks from her, half his jokes are her jokes. And to have her also be Māori was important because we all need someone who shares our history to look up to ❤️

favourite colour: GREEN!!! every shade of green is perfect in my eyes but the best ones are soft sages, DEEP deep greens and the colour of sunlight filtering through leaves in early summer

last song: Pyrrhic by Julianna Barwick, its on my siren playlist

currently reading: Hannibal by Thomas Harris, me n partners watched film with anthony hopkins and thea told me the book has the ending where Clarisse runs away with Hannibal and i had to read it

currently watching: Siren, its such a good show why do more people not know about it. environmentalism, critiquing capitalism, POLYAMORY, indigenous cast members, man-eating mermaids..... whats not to love. also it has Rena Owens in it

currently craving: salmon.... i have been craving seafood since the hāngī where I had delicious tuaki. would eat tf out of a seaweed salad rn

coffee or tea: honestly equally both! I drink at least a coffee a day and savour it as part of my morning routine, but i love tea. tea comes in so many flavours, varieties, its literally any kind of plant matter steeped in hot water. big fan of smoky tea and chai right now though
