I think one of the reasons I'm persisting with the show despite the haphazard worldbuilding and the sometimes unfinished nature of the plots is the fact that I like most of the main cast.
That's a pretty fantastic feature in a show! ^_^ (And found families are definitely of interest to me.) I look forward to your report on the next seasons!
If the elopement is your partner whom you write about on DW, congratulations! It sounds like it worked out.
Yep, that's him! We'd known each other for ages before we got married, though, and at that point had been dating for four years (after a previous year-and-a-bit of dating a couple years before that). So the getting-married was completely spontaneous, but by that point we'd been unofficially assuming it'd happen at some point. And then, hey, we were in Hawai'i! So why not? ^_- And that was eleven years ago.
I'm not familiar with the honu glyph. I assume it's a Hawaiian symbol, hence the ambivalence?
Hilariously, I just did an image search for "honu glyph" and clicked on a pendant image that's in the style I like (the shape of the actual turtle varies a bit)...and the link went to a pin on my own "tattoo inspiration" Pinterest board.
So yeah, it is indeed a Hawai'ian cultural symbol (I'd have to look more deeply into any religious/spiritual significance), albeit one available on ALL KINDS of swag. Like, there's literally a shop called The Honu Store on the Big Island. And I don't feel too weird about having some of said swag, but a tattoo feels different. So I continue to debate it with myself.
