The Legend
There is more than one legend concerning Hi‘iaka and her volatile sister, Pele. The one most often quoted within an LGBT context is one about Hi‘iaka, Pele, Hopoe, and Lohiau (also spelled “Lohi‘au”).
Hi‘iakaikapoliopele (“Hi‘iaka in the bosom of Pele”) was one of thirteen sisters named Hi‘iaka, each with various attributes attached to the name. She was born within an egg in kahiki (“Tahiti,” which could be the actual islands far to the south of Hawai‘i, or to any distant place). Pele carried the egg to the Hawaiian Islands. Both of them lived on the island of Hawai‘i with the other Hi‘iaka sisters and Hi‘iakaikapoliopele’s lover, Hopoe.
Hi‘iaka was sent by Pele to convince the handsome mortal Lohiau, who lived on the island of Kaua‘i, to come live with Pele on the island of Hawai‘i. Hi‘iaka had forty days to accomplish this task, during which Pele held Hopoe and Hi‘iaka’s favorite grove of lehua trees hostage.
When Hi‘iaka did not return in forty days, Pele was furious. She covered both Hopoe and the grove with lava. Hi‘iaka mourned the loss of Hopoe, and found comfort in the arms of Lohi‘au, once again enraging Pele who, after killing Lohi‘au (Hi‘iaka brought him back to life), eventually made peace with them both.
During the special session for marriage equality held on November 12, 2013 in the Hawai‘i Statehouse Senate chamber, Senator Gil Kahele spoke about Native Hawaiian roots of what are now considered LGBT relationships. A Native Hawaiian himself, he mentioned aikāne (homoerotic-romantic) relationships common among ali‘i or noblemen as well as women, specifically citing Hi‘iaka:
One legend tells that Pele is spelled by a hula and trapped in the spirit world. Pele’s sister Hi‘iaka asks her ‘Ai Kane Hopoe (her female friend) to surrender their last kiss before Hi‘iaka is sent on a mission to dance for her sister so she can awaken.

i have questions about hair regrowth when follicles have been damaged by excessive pulling, mainly if left over time, do damaged hair follicles recover to how they once were? even the ones so damaged hair doesn't grow back from them after being plucked?
i've dealt with trich since i was 10 and it started with my scalp, then pubes, then scalp and eyebrows since 9th grade, though i've managed to go 3 years without pulling from my scalp
my scalp, even within those 3 years would have damaged hair growing in (really thick, black, kinked, compared to my wavy med-brown hair) and i shaved all of my hair off earlier this year and am waiting to see if those damaged strands continue to grow in after that
my eyebrows i am still struggling with pulling out huge chunks, when stressed and when just sitting there and not paying attention to what i'm doing, and i haven't had had my eyebrows grown back in significantly since 9th grade (and im 21 now) but i am trying very hard to leave them alone and let them grow in
but i think my eyebrows are very damaged in the follicles, there are parts that haven't grown back in after plucking, just these bald patches, and some of the hairs grow back in looking very weird compared to the others so i'm guessing they're damaged too
idk how good my chances of follicles recovering to how they used to be are at this rate

im nona on last page trying to register for college and also i just realized how inadequate i am compared to all the other students at todays orientation
almost all of them were fresh from high school and had AP classes and sports and other electives
i struggled in school from middle school all the way to 12th grade and the only time i got any help for my MI was after i attempted suicide in 11th grade and the school was forced to acknowledge i have ~issues, which basically meant forcing me to drop AP classes i was taking and all the electives i was taking to shove me into alternative school and forget i existed
like they wouldn't even consider that maybe i really want to do these AP classes for college credits and they wouldn't budge on looking into schedule differences so i could still attend at least one of them that i really enjoyed, they said if i want any accommodation i need to drop all my plans and electives and go to alt school
and then they didn't even count after i graduated, none of it was kept on my fucking record because i never finished the classes
i just needed to rant about this sorry, it makes me feel like such shit

Bernardo reported having visions of saints, angels, and God. At the age of 18, he had a vision of marrying Jesus in a ceremony much like a human wedding. He described it this way:
Always holding my right hand, the Lord had me occupy the empty throne; then He fitted on my finger a gold ring…. “May this ring be an earnest of our love. You are Mine, and I am yours. You may call yourself and sign Bernardo de Jesus, thus, as I said to my spouse, Santa Teresa, you are Bernardo de Jesus and I am Jesus de Bernardo. My honor is yours; your honor is Mine. Consider My glory that of your Spouse; I will consider yours, that of My spouse. All Mine is yours, and all yours is Mine. What I am by nature you share by grace. You and I are one!”
(quoted from “The Visions of Bernard Francis De Hoyos, S.J.” by Henri Bechard, S.J.)
