Humanized!Skinks plus personality headcanons!!

inspired by @devilsrecreation's post! i've just done the underdeveloped members of shupavu's group :)

Nyeusi:

the sneaky guy! i really like him but there's not much i can think of to say about him, except i imagine he's kinda-friends with neema and ed in nikki's hc/au where the original hyena clan comes back. i think he'd be good at dissing people, and them not even knowing :)

Nyata:

possibly my favourite design?? it was unintentional but i made her a little similar to nyeusi which is fun because i imagine they're a duo like shupavu and njano are, especially because they're the fastest skinks. i imagine they're competitive fuckers and keep trying to beat each other in races

Female Skink:

i think i'm going to headcanon her name to be Nyororo, which means "soft" or "smooth", because of her voice! the only thing we know about her lol. i also picked the name because it matches nyeusi and nyata. while making her i started liking the flowery design so i've headcannoned that she'd dress up all flowery-looking to help decieve people into thinking she's sweet, along with her smooth voice. admittedly i was getting kinda sick of green, and i noticed she has a slight blue tint around her eyes, so i gave her a little clip! why not :)

Waza:

i'm actually really happy with this design, or maybe i just like blue lol. i found out that Waza means "mediate" so i'm wondering if he's the mediator of the group in some way. he doesn't talk, but he isn't shown to communicate using his tongue like nyeusi does, so i'm wondering if he literally just shakes his head at others when he dissaproves of what they're doing 😭 he could communicate with head and tail movements, because he's the keenest of sight he would alert the others of what he sees in silence

Male Skink:

i'm going to go ahead and headcannon this guy's name as Hasira, meaning "vex" or "angry" because literally the only notable thing about him is his constant grumpy face. i've also headcannoned him and Waza as friends, and i think Hasira and Waza sounds nice. because of his supposed grumpiness i wonder if he might be one of the older members of the group. like a reluctant adult around a bunch of rowdy teenagers kinda vibe. who knows, he's completely free reign for personality like waza lol

not sure if i'm 100% happy with the designs but that's bc i'm a perfectionist- the picrew didn't have too many colour options but i think everyone looks alright despite that. btw hair was completely random bc i don't fucking know 😭 i hope you liked tho :)

i used this picrew <3

Bukkyo, Budo, and Shugyo

True spirituality (bukkyo), like true martial arts (budo), brings us face to face with the realities of life, and chiefly, with its limitations. In intentionally confronting mortality, suffering, violence, pain, and unknowing we can realize the confidence to actually enter into the streams of our lives already in progress, unburdened with the weight of fearing the unknown (consciously or otherwise) which keeps us so readily anchored to a half-life of ignorance, reservation, and even reckless attempts to break free from our molds.

As these fundamental matters are broached, and the ambiguity of their relationship to our being is resolved, through ongoing training in the midst of our daily life (shugyo) we can come to authentically entertain the nuances of love, joy, peace, awareness, and freedom. We can come to celebrate the would be ravages of time as the play of temporality, and to dance with its steps.

At its heart, such training is always about honesty, agency, and intentionality. Through it we can find meaning, narrative, and poetry that can withstand the gravity of reality, and persist as wisdom embodied.

Daily Instrument — Kakaki

The kakaki, also known as the waza or malakat, is an aerophone West African instrument of the Hausa people. The kakaki is a long (10ft) metal trumpet, the tube has one bell shaped end and another narrow end where the player blows into. Kakaki are played only by men and are played at ceremonies welcoming or announcing the arrival of a king, sultan or emir.
