Notes: Posted on AO3 almost two months ago; finally getting around to posting on LJ.
...So when I saw the official picture of Jason Momoa as Aquaman I got REALLY EXCITED, OKAY? I want to know everything about Hawaiian Aquaman, don't you?
Aquaman comics canon is a mess depending on which version of Earth you're working with, and this is movie-verse, and Aquaman is Hawaiian, so I basically just took what I wanted and smashed it all together messily and cackled a lot, I THUMB MY NOSE AT YOU, COMICS CANON.
Other inspiration taken from Hawaiian mythology, Hawai‘i in general, and Jason's own mixed-racial background and the accomplished Hawaiian watermen in his family.
"Go forth and tell the story" is the translation I like best for "Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana," a phrase sung at the beginning of the last verse of songs written in the traditional Hawaiian style.
"He inoa no" is a dedication used in name chants, generally for royalty or gods. Roughly "in the name of" or "in honor of".
More translations in the end notes.
This story is un-beta'd.
