DAZZLER

ボクのDEERLING 舞い踊る
音楽は光に変ワル
時が止マル
ボクのハート止マル
ヤット息がデキタ

MY DEERLING DANCES
MUSIC INTO LIGHT
TIME STANDS STILL
MY HART STOPS
I BREATH ONCE MORE

生命

マタの日、
コノ道 再生、
ニヤニヤ、笑い声、
鎮メル、治ス。
進歩は進歩。

ANOTHER DAY,
THIS STREET LIVES AGAIN,
PLAYFUL SMILES, LAUGHTER,
IT EASES MY SPIRIT, HEALS ME.
PROGRESS IS PROGRESS.

ハッピ−ソッツ

遣ラズの雨
風の口ズケ
指[が触[レル、大地が揺レル
紫電一線

THE KISS OF THE BREEZE
OUR FINGERS TOUCH, THE EARTH MOVES
A FLASH CUTS THE SKY
I WISH THIS FLAME BURN ON AND ON

Hawaii, which has been traditionally a strong bastion for the Democratic party, is home to many #Samoans, but many #Samoan Americans live in the staunchly Republican areas of Orange County, California, and Utah as well.

Kanan Cross, 'The Lord of Lightning,' in a combat-ready stance. He wields a heavy, custom machete infused with bright blue electrical currents that arc across the blade and his arms. His long locs are windswept, and his glowing blue eyes peer over a sleek blue mechanical mask. The image captures him mid-battle, radiating raw power and precision.

A cinematic, low-angle shot of Kanan Cross in a massive Titan state, standing at 2,500 feet tall. His skin is a deep, textured blue, with corded, vine-like muscles that pulse with bio-electric energy. He has long, dark locs flowing down his back and over his shoulders. His eyes glow a piercing, solid blue, and his expression is stern as he looks over a vast, hazy canyon landscape at sunset. The clouds and mountains below him emphasize his incredible, god-like scale.

The 6,000-foot 'Lord of Lightning' Titan, Kanan Cross, standing as a living mountain in the rain. His body is composed of heavy, craggy grey muscle, with brilliant blue electricity pulsing from his core and eyes. Massive, root-like structures erupt from his back, reaching into the stormy sky. The dark, atmospheric lighting emphasizes his terrifying scale and ancient Titan heritage.

A colossal face-off between two massive brothers in their ultimate Titan forms. On the left, Kanan Cross, the 6,000-foot 'Lord of Lightning,' is a grey, stone-skinned behemoth with glowing blue bio-electric energy surging through cracks in his muscular frame and a bright star-like pulse in his chest. On the right, his older brother Brutallus / The Eradicator, 'The Titan of Destruction,' stands even taller at 6,600 feet in his 'DawnBreaker' form. Brutallus is a terrifying figure of black, charred rock with molten orange lava flowing through his veins and long, flowing hair that looks like dark smoke. They loom over a misty mountain range, their massive silhouettes nearly touching as they prepare for a world-shaking confrontation.

Voltage vs. Void. ⚡️🩸 One brother protects the spark; the other thrives in the shadow. The Lord of Lightning faces the DawnBreaker.

Digital art of Kanan Cross, 'The Lord of Lightning,' shown from the chest up. He is a shirtless, heavily muscled man with dark skin and pointed ears. His hair consists of numerous glowing blue braids that radiate outward. A high-tech mechanical mask covers his nose and jaw, while bright blue electrical energy surges through his chest and eyes, emphasizing his Titan-human nature.

A close-up of Kanan Cross, 'The Lord of Lightning.' He is depicted with thick locs infused with blue electrical currents. A sleek blue mechanical mask covers his jaw and nose, while his eyes burn with orange light. He is surrounded by a chaotic mix of blue lightning bolts and embers of fire against a dark background, emphasizing his raw, bio-electric power.

Two towering Titan-human brothers, Kanan Cross and Bram Grim, stand side-by-side above a mountain range. Kanan, 'The Lord of Lightning,' on the left, is a mass of blue bio-electric energy and corded muscle. Bram, on the right, appears earth-bound with green, rock-textured skin and a more hulking, physical build. Both have long locs, full beards, and fierce expressions, dressed in dark fur and tattered leather. The background is a dark, atmospheric sky with a low sun casting a dramatic glow on the snow-capped peaks below them.

A cinematic digital painting of Kanan Cross in his 5,000-foot Titan form. He is a colossal, monstrous figure with gray, craggy, stone-like skin and an incredibly muscular build. Glowing blue bio-electric energy pulses through deep fissures in his chest and arms like magma. His face is beast-like with glowing blue eyes, sharp protrusions on his head, and a wide mouth filled with jagged, needle-like teeth. The atmosphere is hazy and dark, making his massive frame appear like a living mountain.

Voltage check: Overwhelming. ⚡ 🩸

Their resistance to #Samoan unification is driven not only by the tremendous economic disparity between American Samoa and Western Samoa, but also because of different cultural trajectories

hey, question: would if be appropiation to make a trans Samoan oc? I want to, I very much appreciate and love the culture, but I don't want to be disrespectful and make them into an OC. I'm scared I'll do something wrong.
