its not the death of the character that gets me. its the reactions of other characters to the death of said character that gets me.

things i loved about moana

-chief moana, not princess moana -david bowie crab was fab -moana and maui putting their hair up in BUNS while doing shit like wow that’s such a little thing but so realistic -moana cried A LOT and i loved it like it wasn’t really ever a “helpless princess moment” where they cry because it’s the low point of the movie. she cried when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was angry, when she was confused like a lot but it was just really nice to see from someone who cries like 24/7 -the music holy shit -like from the opening song my jaw dropped it was just so beautiful -stingray grandma every damn time was beautiful -sassy beautiful ocean -moana and maui’s friendship -te fiti and te ka are AWESOME

Just a lot of good shit honestly go watch moana

I’m so proud of Disney’s Team of Researchers when it came to making Moana, because it made me, a proud Polynesian girl feel relatable to a Disney character. Now Polynesia consist of many islands, each with their own unique style. I thought it would be nice to share some of the elements used in Moana from my own Polynesian culture, the Maori culture, so that Moana fans can understand the significance or just something new.

Te Fiti’s Heart

This Spiral Pattern is known as a ‘Koru’ and can be found in many types of Maori Art including: Carvings, Jewellery, Tattoos and Paintings. It is inspired by a plant native to New Zealand known as ‘Ponga’ or ‘The Silver Fern’.

Her Heart is also inspired by a rock precious to our people called ‘Pounamu’ or ‘Green stone’ which is a variant of Jade. We use it mainly for Jewellery nowadays but it was also used to make weapons back in the day.

Hongi

A Hongi is a traditional greeting and farewell used by Maori people by pressing noses. It symbolises exchanging the breath of life to one another.

Moana uses the Hongi several times in the movie but her Hongi with Te Fiti seems like the most important and special to me.

Moana’s Necklace

Moana’s Necklace is made out of a Abalone Shell which we call ‘Paua’ and can be found throughout many countries around the world, however the featured shell here is a type you find in New Zealand once you polish back its nacre. The shell is used in our arts including: Carvings and Jewellery.

There are so many more elements used in this movie from the other Polynesian Islands that I cannot name but hopefully someone else can add to this post to share our beautiful and rich cultures.

all I ask for in the new star wars films is leia with a lightsaber

oxfordthecomma

I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows

ygrittebardots

leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.

alexkablob

The heck do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”

Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”

Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.

“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT

Because girl.

“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]

Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”

“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…” “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

this post is golden

reblogging cause one of my followers tried to tell me Leia isn’t force sensitive

nerweniel

Who TF thinks Leia isn’t force-sensitive???!?!?!??!?! It’s literally right there, in the original trilogy. She has just as much Force as Luke. I don’t necessarily think she needs to develop it, really, because she is just as badass as a General/politician, but she certainly has it.
