Kissing Hemmer

Hammer can see—not in tradional sense—but nothing beats touch. He's not much for kissing in general, not like humans do. With all the ice and cold of his homeland, all saliva-based activities always ended badly.

He learned that the hard way, though he'll never admit it.

I'd like to think that they have their own type of kissing in his culture, but I'll instead give you the resources to look at the Kunik/Inuit Kiss from Shina Nova on tiktok. I'm sure there are other tribes and cultures with their own derivatives, but this is always what I think of!

Him touching his nose and upper lip to your cheek, pressing into your skin with a strong grip on your chin. Maybe he does touch his nose to yours, or his cheek to your cheek?

He will kiss as humans do, but much more casually. He prefers cuddling. Having you across his lap or pressed into his side.

He leans down over you, petting your hair with his hand. He presses his nose to your jaw and then cheek, with a pressure you find excessive, but you know comforts him. The ridges on his face are strangely smooth—almost like scales—in compared to softness of his skin. It's warm, too, almost fever-like. As he moves down to your neck, his antenna brush your eyebrows, the surprise of it making you blink and squirm.

You huff out a laugh as they jerk away from you. He mumbles out and apology that you silence with your mouth, just on the edge of his. He reciprocates, kissing the edge of your mouth, though its a lot quicker than what you gave him. His breath is warm.

He hums, using your shoulder to steady him, as leans back into his place. Pad balanced on your head, he starts back on his work.

Multimedia Journal #3, Shina Nova

Shina Nova (Novalinga) is a Canadian Inuk throat singer who teaches people about her Inuk culture as well as advocates about problems faced by Native Americans through her Instagram account @shinanova. In 2020, Shina Nova began posting on her Instagram videos of her and her mother throat singing, a traditional part of her culture, but she has also spoken out about a variety of issues including mental health. She quickly gained a large following on Instagram and TikTok and is most well known for her throat singing videos where she shares a part of her culture that has been oppressed and disappearing. In her videos, she often wears beaded and feathered jewelry as well as other handmade fur and patterned items of clothing, and she proudly embraces her family's culture and history. Shina Nova and her mother can be seen throat singing in the image below.

Inuit throat singing among women in Inuit groups in Canada was banned in the early 20th century by Christian missionaries because they thought that the music sounded "satanic." Now, the practice is greatly at risk and Shina Nova and her mother are trying to revive this tradition in the younger generation of Inuit people. Shina Nova has said, "I'm bringing back what was shamed upon." More about Inuit throat singing can be read in the article below.

In class, we read about what happened at Wounded Knee in Ronald Takaki's "A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America." In the mid to late 1800's, Ghost Dancing became popular on Sioux reservations as the Native Americans danced to their great spirit in order to revive the plentiful game of the land and to protect them from the "whites" (Takaki 214-215). Afraid of Native American resistance and this misunderstood ritual, the Indian bureau of Washington arrested two Sioux chiefs which would start a chain of events that would ultimately lead to the massacre of hundreds of Native Americans at Wounded Knee. Here, a cultural practice of the Sioux people, dancing to talk to their sprits, was misunderstood as dangerous by the white people and not only prevented the Sioux people from the practice but led to tragedy. The way that a Native American practice was misunderstood and banned is a very similar story to how throat singing was banned, because it sounded "satanic," and how lots of Native American culture has been covered up and lost. In order to attempt to assimilate the Native Americans into white culture, they were also forced into harsh education and discipline on the reservations (Takaki 220). Children were forced into boarding schools and had to give up their native language and customs and faced brutality and horrible conditions, further causing a loss of many Native American traditions (link below with more information).

The issues at boarding schools is another thing that Shina Nova brings into discussion on her social media. Shina Nova's account both teaches people about her Inuk culture and the history of her people, but she also works to continue the conversation about what can happen moving forwards and also tackles current issues.

Some sketches of a race of avian aliens i’m calling the proto-shina for a story/comic thing that been sitting in my head for a long time. Their an extinct species but are very influential in setting. (don’t have a proper name yet). They evolved on a dying world and at the height of their civilization technological prowess their star basically went super nova and blew up their planet. They weren’t an FTL capable species, and had tech that was a bit more advanced than our modern day world, think near future or cyberpunk. So as a way to have some sort of remembrance of their civilization they opted to choose a few select members of their species to have their minds copied and made into AIs. I was messing around with trying to design what a robotic version of their facial features might look like.
