Sleepy Oread Rests On You (ASMR Roleplay) [F4A] [Mauka Listener]

[@brendanp5498]

Okay translation guide for those who are confused/curious Oread: Mountain Nymphs from Greek mythology (Nymphs being nature spirits/minor gods/goddesses) Mauka: A Hawaiian word roughly translating to inland, less roughly translating to "Toward the mountain", usually in reference to a direction Tapu: Forbidden/Sacred, Spiritually Restricted, big no-no to do somethong thats Tapu, its equivalent to a religious taboo (in the case of this audio the mountain/listener seems to have a tapu the forbids it to be climbed due to its sacred nature) Gaia: Primordial greek deity of the earth and nature, aka mother earth whose way older than the Olympian gods 0:43 : Tbh i have no clue how to spell what shes saying but i assume its the name of the moutain but without spelling i honestly can't find anything Mana: A spiritual sacred energy/power that as someone who isnt part of those cultures im not truely able to convey the significance of Atua: A word thats between a god and a spirit, sometimes translated as Demi-god although thats not super accurate as demi-god typically means Half-human, Half-god, whereas Atua are closer to minor gods and nature spirts as apposed to full gods, (for those who have watched Disney's Moana its what Maui is) Tāne Mahuta: Polynesian god/Atua of the forest and birds (among other things) whose name translates to Forest father Ouranos: Primordial Greek deity of the sky, made by Gaia (so shes not technically his mother but she did make him), and a terrible father Ranginui: Primordial Polynesian God of the sky, sometimes called Rangi or Rakinui, Permenent keep away from the earth by Tāne and/or his brother Tangaroa god/atua of the sea Papatūānuku: Primordial Polynesian Goddess of the earth, sometimes called Papa, Permenent keep away from the earth by Tāne and/or his brother Tangaroa god/atua of the sea 6:06 Again i have no clue which goddess is being referred to The Tapu gets lifted because the listener considers them the same (aka a pair of mountain spirits) and therefore isnt violating the tapu which in this case only is for mortals

Mauka simply means mountain, it's being used in the Te Reo usage here, hence to usage of Te Reo dialect when naming various atua. Give me a second and I'll put together the specific definitions for the atua name dropped.

[@A1phaDrag0n]

1. Tāne Mahuta, father of the forest and son of Raki and Papa. In the Northern iwi, it is believed he separated Raki and Papa so that his brothers and sisters could live in comfort. 2. Rakinui, the sky father. When he first fell in love with Papa, he could not be separated from her and the story diverges from there. I'm not familiar with Takaroa seperating them, I assume that tale comes from one of the other Polynesian cultures. In the northern iwi, they believe Tāne Mahuta separated the two (hence why the Kauri tree is broad and strong). In the Southern iwi, we believe Rakinui chose to separate himself from Papa after they started having deformed children. 3. Papatūānuku, the earth mother. I don't think her story diverges much. 4. Hine-tū-pari-mauka, Maori goddess of cliffs and mountains. She was Tāne's spouse in the tales of the Southern iwi. Reference to multiple wives made as he is attributed various spouses in various tales. 5. Poharua Te Pō, goddess of the long night (major sphere over darkness, not to be confused with Hine-nui-te-pō, goddess of regular night and minor sphere over darkness). Rakanui's first wife and mother of Aoraki and his brothers (who became the Southern alps). She left for an unknown period of time and Rakinui presumed her dead, so he took Papatūānuku as his next wife. Additonal notes. In maori culture, to stand over something is to steal it's mana, and there is often heavy tapu placed on such actions. It's considered ill mannered to stand over a ponamu, a taiaha and especially another person. Normally, this can be excused if the correct karakia is offered first.

@@A1phaDrag0n thank you so much! I may pride myself on a love of myths, religions, and stories, but I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to Maori, despite living in New Zealand so thank you so much for not only adding to what I wrote but also correcting and giving a more in depth look than I every could!

[@A1phaDrag0n]

​@@brendanp5498it's always a pleasure to add to another's knowledge. I don't think this should ve considered correction, I'm simply adding my knowledge of the southern iwi's history to what you already have learned. The northern iwi's stories are more commonly known and vary wildly from my people's tales (and each other's, there's a lot more tribes up north than down here!).

I swear, commissioners result in the most out there audios on this channel, and on this platform, I'd say. Never, in the history of me on this sight, would I have imagined the listener being a *literal landmass*

[@Atomic_Thomas]

Woah! This is the most... Out of pocket audio I've seen from Fake in a long time. *(A1phaDrag0n technically, but still.)* Oread...? What is that? What even is that? Mauka? We're a mountain? What is happening? Tapu? Like the Pokemon? Are we gigantic? Thumbnail Girl looks intriguing. She has star-shaped pupils. *DESPITE LISTENING TO THE AUDIO, I STILL HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!*

[@A1phaDrag0n]

The Oreads are mountain nymphs from ancient Greek mythology. Mauka is the Te Reo word for mountain (Southern dialect, in Northern dialect it's Maunga), which are our ancestor spirits, some of which are descendants of the gods. Tapu specifically means sacred but is further used to indicate specific rites are necessary for an action to be taken (in this case, the listener is a sacred mauka and standing above something that is sacred is thought to rob it of it's mana, which has a lot of spiritual ramifications and may inccur the wrath of the gods. In the old days a tōhuka (priest) could declare something tapu).

If I was a mountain, I'd wonder what thrill do these mortals get out of risking their lives to reach the top on my head.🤔 Cool audio Fake! LOVED IT!!!😊💚👍

At least I get to be tall as the listener.

Are you short in real life then?

@@louisstokes1498 Who knows?

You and me both, little sister.

[@mirage809]

Wait… are we crossing over mythologies? If God of War can wander from Greek to Norse myth then Fake can combine Greek and Polynesian (?) myth.

[@ThatChillGuyJay]

So we're like defeati from moana?

[@altoniusamakiir5048]

Um actually time (feel free to um actually me back i dont actually know that much). But wouldn't it be impossible for someone to drift from the Mediterranean to Polynesia due to the separation of ocean currents and the at least 3 different regions of no wind they'd have to pass through?

[@A1phaDrag0n]

I mean, Europeans have made the trip before. As an Oread, she's not confined by the same limitations a human might have, and her Nereid sisters may have even assisted her transportation (once she hit the Pacific, she presumably would be under Takaroa's protection, he was renown for his mercy towards lost souls).

[@altoniusamakiir5048]

humans have made the trips in boats, wasn't she just adrift tho? Actually looking up ocean charts now. She would have had to drift out south of spain, south along africa until she hit the equator, then across to brazil until they hit antartica, then east until they hit peru, then north to mexico and then basically just get stuck mid pacific until they hit an island. They literally have to come into contact with every ocean current loop there is, it's about the furthest distance you can drift besides japan and alaska. It would like take years and it's incredibly unlikely due to fluid mechanics you wouldn't hit land before then.

[@A1phaDrag0n]

@@altoniusamakiir5048 yes, I believe she states "decades" in the audio. She doesn't mention not using a vessel but I doubt it would matter much to a minor sphere god if she was sinply swept away in the ocean currents. As an Oread, I would have imagined she wander the land instead, heading east towards the Himalayas before wandering into South Asia and inadvertently following the same path the original Polynesians did. It's really open to interpretation and any path you want her to take can work. It's not explicitly stated, but overtly imolied she's specifically the Oread Echo, who was lost in depression after her lover was cursed and fell in love with his own reflection. Personally I believe she was wandering until her own curse, to only speak by repeating the words of others, waned in the sphere of new gods.

[@yuukithehedgehog]

Let me guess an oread and an mauka are youkai or sort of demi god aren't they

[@brendanp5498]

Edit: TDLR Mauka means inland and an Oread is a mountain nymph From what I can tell, no, Mauka is just a Hawaiian word meaning "toward the mountain" used in relation towards a direction, because when you're on a island and facing parallel to the coast one direction will always be towards the ocean and the other direction with be towards the center of the island and when those islands are basically all volcanic mountains it's pretty safe to say the whatever direction is opposite of the ocean will be towards the mountain Edit: Oreads however seem to be a Greek mountain nymph so yes in that sense Oreads are a kind of spirt however Mauka isn't really a word that would describe a sentient being just like the direction North isn't typically considered to be sentient

[@yuukithehedgehog]

@brendanp5498 huh that's pretty interesting

[@A1phaDrag0n]

​@@brendanp5498 mauka means mountain in multiple Polynesian cultures, in this context it's using Te Reo (Maori) where it means mountains as ancestor spirits

[@brendanp5498]

@@A1phaDrag0n ahhhh cheers! The overlapping Mythologies of the various Polynesian peoples can be very confusing when they contradict

[@A1phaDrag0n]

@@brendanp5498 No worries, we argue essentially about here just in between the various iwi! I try to keep it consistently from the persecptive of the Southern iwi, as those are the tales I was raised with but I do want to acknowledge the diversity of the cutltures where possible.
