eskimo kissing, andy pawlak (1989).

it could have been beautiful it could have been beautiful so naive to imagine that i could survive a day without you

Leo is thoroughly flustered over the sheer amount of people who've been fawning over his nose. He's definitely shaped though, I agree with yall 🍻 I suppose it's time to be nice to him and give him some love instead of aggressively punching him in the kidney over and over and over and over and over and over and over and

I tried finding the information online, but all the sites I found defaulted to using sushi or just saying raw food/diet. Is there an Inupiat word for eating raw fish or seal, or would you just say the type of animal? I guess if it was the more common practice, it wouldn’t have been sensible to create a word that made it distinct from eating it in other ways. But I figured I’d check :D.

Also I was looking through your blog and I saw a post that mentioned that kissing was more about gentle breathing than pecking with your lips. Do you mean all/most kissing, or just like, instead of pressing lips/pressing lips to a cheek as a greeting or goodbye, it’s more of an air kiss?

I’m trying to write a modern Inupiat character, and you’ve talked so much on this blog about food, that I wanted to include your cuisine. She and her gf have gotten a little tired of eating out, plus their wallets aren’t that big, plus since she’s a teacher, her students like to spy on her a little when they run into each other. It’s funny to the both of them, but also they like their privacy. Thank you!

Raw meat and fish is referred to as quaq, and is also frozen. Note that like most dry foods in traditional Inupiaq cuisine, it's served sliced in thin strips and eaten as finger food; it's not, like, cubes or slabs. It's also traditionally dipped in misiģaaq (seal oil).

As for kissing, i mean that the gesture we have that has the same significance and meaning as a kiss is not necessarily contact with lips. While the term eskimo kiss is sometimes used to refer to a bastardization where people rub their noses against each other or another's face, an actual eskimo kiss involves breathing in air around another person, especially air they could have exhaled. The idea is to inhale their essence, like to have a little bit of their soul in yours. Sometimes this involves the kisser's lips brushing against the face of the kissee, especially when done as gently and relaxed as possible, but that's not the objective. The point is the breath, not the lips. While it is technically a different gesture than kissing, it has the same significance and meaning and also involves intimacy between the faces, i consider it just a cultural variation of the same thing

Like they look as if they would kiss any minute....many people wrongfully compare Izu and BK to sasunaru. Its incorret.

I honestly don't think Sgdk is all that similar to Sasunaru either but they come closer than bkdk (that is abuser and victim)

—The Song of Achilles

Read these in a guidance counseling room lol

We have:

Eskimo kisses, the “lemme show you my gayness” kiss, the fucking tragedy that is Achilles’ smile and “What has Hector ever done to me?” line, Paris’ description that just has me thinking of Wolfy’s character design, Patroclus safe circle aka Achilles, and just war descriptions cause—wow they are good.

It's time for war baby >:), surely nothing bad will happen, right?

(please send help denial is strong)

yo. leah. my love. what the fuck

it’s all your fault for pointing it out in the first place ok???

like it hadn’t even occurred to me until now that maybe the reason he sleeps so much there is because he can? Actually sleep??

No having to lock his door or shove stuff up against it, no laying in the dark waiting to hear terry come home and listening to see what he’s doing, tracking his movements by the sound of his footsteps, breathing a sigh of relief when he hears his bedroom door slam shut.

No being woken in the middle of the night by loud, belligerent arguing or someone jolting him awake to go on an impromptu run, no laying in bed all night listening to the sounds of people getting drunker and higher, wondering if one of them will come banging on his door, or worse Mandy’s, for something

And now he’s here, in the gallagher house. Where it’s loud and crazy and there’s people everywhere, with someone constantly hogging the bathroom and kids shrieking at all hours and the blankets are threadbare and been washed a thousand times.

But fuck, it feels so fucking safe.

It’s loud and it’s crazy and there’s never anywhere to be alone but there’s laughter and bright chatter and random hugs and so much goddamn love.

The bed might be the shittiest thing he’s ever slept on with an almost nonexistent mattress, but with Ian breathing deeply next to him and the sound of one of his brothers snoring heavily, he’s never been less scared to close his eyes.

Part 9 is finished, which officially marks as the last part for Kissartfebruary challenge by @violettenouvel , and so stuck with more Darksiders as the best for last! Had so much fun with these so wanted to thank @coloredgravity for introducing this Art challenge to me, a great opportunity and nice to have an art challenge buddy for it! Hope ya guys like!

First off, Let the cringey self indulgence commence for Day 25! The topic was tricky, so this is what I could come up with. When Siva concieved what was considered impossible, gentle was unfamiliar but also not impossible. Thus "belly" kisses are rare but treasured!

Second, while not my best sketch, this is a cute moment between mother and son for Day 27 so here! The topic was "Leg" and when Siva is dealing with her own injury, Atreyu wants to kiss it better as she would do whenever he got hurt.

And Last, thought it was high time to redraw this Three year old drawing I did (Original is here)

The theme was pretty much "Anything" for Day 28. Had quite a bit of option, but decided to draw my main couple for the last. Since it was anything, chose to draw "Eskimo kisses" because they are just as lovable. Can finally say I finished something sort of on time, thank you guys for dealing with my crazy sketches and hope ya like!

Art and OCS are mine

hello happy new year!!! because of your posts about katara and sokka being good at eskimo stick pull and knuckle hopping respectively, i got really interested in WEIO - which had me thinking, surface level, but would you approve of the headcanon of katara and aang's son tenzin being an undefeated ear pull champion both because of his gigantic ears and his pretty high pain tolerance? it's the one thing his sister absolutely cannot beat him at. also 1) what's your personal favorite event to do, and 2) do you have any other hcs of what WEIO events certain water tribe characters would love doing? sorry if this is overload or not worded coherently

God, ear pull champ Tenzin is such an inspired concept. He'd even meditate while beating everyone at the ear pull. That man was born to kick ass at ear pull

I myself have never gotten to compete due to lack of transportation and being my parents' main source of childcare later not having enough vacation days at work or energy outside of work to dedicate to athletic competition. It's that whole "culture behind a paywall" concept i've brought up before. That said i do have headcanons!

Korra strikes me as someone really into the one foot high kick and partly because it makes for a dramatic pose for the camera.

Bato loves the one hand reach and always does a flip on the blanket toss

Eska is undefeated in the salmon fillet and seal skinning speed competitions

Jinora's into the regalia competitions. She got second place once dispite her youth and has been riding that high for years

Kuruk will jump at the chance to compete in the arm pull. Why? Three words: maximum flirting potential.
