[writing-for-me-at-this-point]

Ikr??!! Ayato is so pretty. I really like him, and like, yes the fanart was pretty, but it wasnt Super likely that that is what he would have looked like anyway.

Also weirdo's on twitter have started to try and say ayato is gay bcus of his outfit??? From what I understood they tried to say that the long sleeves are generally worn by unwed-women and so are to attract men, but others have said thats not the only time those are worn and were also often worn by noble men, so like, idk

I feel like the fanart was basically just male Ayaka tbh. This feels like his own person and someone who is related to her and not just male Ayaka. But from what we had, I wont deny that the art was amazing and the theories other faceless wonder were great.

Also I doubt he's gay because of his outfit. But his outfit is designed the way it is because of his high rank and nobility in Inazuma. Long sleeves and layers were symbols of that from my understanding, not just ways women used to attract men. His style is mixed from two distinct periods of Japan where those sleeves are common, with the nobles. I can't remember which ones tho. I know it's the one where Japan became more "westernized" and that was in the 18th century (I think)

But those people are usually shippers/fujoshis tbh. Mihoyo has a large male fan base on the Asia servers, but a largely female one on the Western ones. I think that's why they also made Thoma just a servant and not Ayakas fiancee, because people get weirdly obsessive and jealous if their fictional fav is taken 💀

And they are fictional characters. You're MEANT to simp for them. That's why they don't have ages/sexualities that are canon. So you can self insert and love your fav without judgment or actual canon to get in the way. The whole age debate is pointless as much as a sexuality one, because they want you to spend money on your favs for the reasons above. Is that right? In my opinion, no. Because then you have the pedos simping for "lollis" when they are kids and shit like that. Like I look at Klee/Diona/Qiqi/Sayu and don't see "young women" I see kids. Babies.

But that gets into the whole "does fiction affect reality" debate and that's a rant/long post for another day.

But I doubt they'd make a canonical gay male character due to censorship and with how big the game is it will be under close inspection. Honokai got away with this (from my personal belief and reasoning) because it's WLW and it's a heavily fetishized relationship and misogyny knows no bounds. Also WLW is treated differently than MLM because of this and the fact that people refuse to believe that women can only like women... that lesbians can be "fixed" while male homosexuality is more "dirty" and stuff. Again it ties to misogyny, homophobia, masculinity, and stuff like that.

Then again I have limited knowledge on how China works culturally and with censorship, but I don't doubt it's for these types of reasons and more. :/ both gay and lesbian relationships deserved to have rep and be shown as normal and natural, but with homophobia being rampant and how ingrained it is in society (to the point it impacts relationships that are platonic/familial, like no, you're not gay for wanting affection from a friend of the same sex. You're human, you want comfort and vulnerability, it's normal.) I doubt it's something you can fix so easily.

I am disappointed in some of the fandom. They have harassed and sent threats to some shippers who shipped Yae and Ayato because... of the color pallette. Like it's obviously a crack ship that won't gain attraction. Because you know, Ayato is gay and Miko is a lesbian, so let's send death threats over a fictional relationship with no impact on reality 💀

Idk this fandom is full of terminally online behavior. Like it's not that deep. It's a game. Please just let people ship weird pairs on colors or hairstyles if they want. It has no bearing on the Canon storyline. It's not that deep. It's a gacha game that wants your money and is run by a multimillion-dollar company. Learn sanity.

Makaha Surfside

In the agenda is the following entry: Mon 27.Nov. 2017-Leialoha Perkins, Makaha Surfside, Waianae, HI. – Yes, we need to get off the bus from our Honolulu hotel in time to arrive at Leialoha at 10.00. We stand at the bus station just opposite our hotel and wait for the express bus C, which goes over the country, out of the city. “Shana, I can already see our bus coming in behind the other guy who is just heading for our station.” I believed the seven dollars in the bus money for both of us out of my pocket and got ready to board the next bus. In one hand I held the film equipment backpack and with the other hand I pushed the dollars into the counting machine at the driver with my request to get two day tickets. In the back of the bus, which was already crowded with workers, there was just a seat in the bus for us two, where I grabbed the last window seat. Although only 45km as the crow flies, the bus has to be tormented by the traffic from Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, as the busy coastal road along. The modern, glittering high-rise buildings of Honolulu slowly disappear behind us. We can be lucky that we have to go to the interview place city outward, because on the opposite lane of the highway towards the city, the cars are in four to seven lanes, miles in a sheet avalanche. After a good hour’s drive, the express bus leaves the highway and drives through residential areas and business districts to Kapolei, to the large bus station in Haumea Str, which is just a long roadside. There we had to board the next bus, which was already ready. At the last major intersection “Ewa-Schofield Junction” the express bus follows Highway 1 to “Honokai Hale” where the highway merges into a two-lane main road. “We still have to get fresh lei’s,” Shana told me loudly in the not so quiet bus. Arriving in Waianae, the big yellow, white bus stops at the “Tamura” shopping center, where we leave the swaying, noisy monster to go and buy the Lei’s. Here in Waianae, the original Hawaiians still live with their keen watch dogs and huge, self-erected trucks. The contrasts from Waianae to Honolulu can not be greater, like poverty to wealth, but also from tourists. If you find in Waianae only tourists who have lost their way, the capital is overflowing with them. With a fragrant white ginger flowers and a cornflower leis we leave the shopping center where we waited again for the next bus, which drives us to Makaha Surfside. There arrived in a few minutes, we get heavily laden and freezing the moving freezer. Waiting for the green man at the traffic lights, we reached the destination, where we then reported to the security in the receiving container, which brought our arrival to Leialoha.

HE Kumulipo

The Kumulipo is the Hawaiian Genesis consisting of 2,102 sentences in 16 “wā” (chapters) which was sung in honor of Prince Kalaninuiamamao of Big Island. This story from the 18th century is the song that tells both the origin of the world and the genealogy of Hawai’i’s ruling family. The Kumulipo is a poetry with many nuances of meaning and puns, which also contains many subtle parables and parodies of rivals of the royal family. This mythology story was verbally passed on to Alapaiwahine. In 1889 King Kalākaua printed the Kumulipo for the first time in a 60 page brochure. He enclosed a two-sided paper showing the original Chant. Queen Liliʻuokalani described the singing as a prayer for the development of the universe and the descent of the Hawaiians. She, Lili’uokalani, translated the singing under house arrest in the Iolani Palace. This translation was published in 1897 and re-published in 1978 by Pueo Press. It is very difficult to turn the Hawaiian wordplay and rhyme into English or German prose. Many scholars are still divided on the translation today.

In this fantastic conversation, we also learn from Leialoha Perkins what connects them to Bamburgh Castle in the english county of Northumberland. Also, we learn an ugly story about the Waimanalo Gulch Landfill.

epilogue

A terrible message has reached us from Oahu over the holidays of 2018. The wind of Kaneana Mountain has taken Leialoha Perkins with the birds and insects. She has passed the colorful rainbow into the land of souls and has closed her eyes on ……… forever. Hawai’i loses with her one of the most important cultural people who has written so much about Hawaiian mythology and published books. Her biggest wish in her life, though she was always afraid of the camera, was that she could tell in a recording about her cumulipo. You have to know that all Hawaiian Islands have their own Chant. Leialoha’s version, however, which she had explored with Roland, her husband, is the chant of the entire Hawaiian Islands. This interview, which my wife Shana and I were allowed to do with Leialoha, was her life’s wish. Also, this conversation, not knowing, is the last conversation of Leialoha Perkins, a historical masterpiece that will be an important pillar of Hawaiian history. Thank you Leialoha Perkins for getting to know you through my wife Shana. Listening to your stories was exciting and informative. Your humor, your stories and friendliness were unique. You will stay in my thoughts.

Aloha nui, Leihaloha Perkins.
