Oi td bem? como vc começou com a Justice Reborn? O que te fez criar esses personagens?

Oi, tudo bem sim. E com você?

Então, essa é uma boa pergunta. Mas vamos lá, porque acho que vai ser mais uma resposta extensa. Tudo começou quando eu li algumas historias no Nyah Fanfiction com filhos de heróis. No caso, filhos de Vingadores da Marvel.

Eu li uma história chamada A-Next, que na época era escrita por uma autora com o nickname de Harley. E posteriormente eu vim também iria ler uma historia escrita por outra escritora em tínhamos outros personagens desse mesmo tipo. No caso, eu estou falando da fanfiction da Catwoman que é Shield - O Futuro: Jovens Vingadores.

Isso faz bastante tempo, lá em 2014 ou 2015. E fazia tempo que eu não escrevia sobre algo, porém eu já estava pensando bastante a respeito. Mas eu sou alguém que sempre teve uma ligação muito forte com a DC Comics, mais do que com a Marvel (por mais que eu goste da Marvel também). Então, fiz um rascunho inicial com alguns personagens e postei uma historia também no mesmo site. Eu já era um escritor dele naquela época. Porém, a historia flopou. E na época nem tinha Tumblr.

Acho que fui descobrir a existência de Tumblrs relacionados a hisorias assim só com Deep Six, da Gothic. Porque eu também comecei a acompanhar a historia dela na época que estava lançando. Tipo, tinha uns seis capítulos publicados quando comecei a ler. Mas fui só comentar algum tempo depois. Ela tinha feito filhos com os personagens da Liga da Justiça. Algo que eu me identificava.

Acho que foi a Gothic e a Cat que mais me motivaram a criar uma equipe. Eu também cheguei a escrever a fanfiction com os meus personagens (na versão pré-reboot), porém cheguei muito mal a escrever 10 capítulos. Porque eu tive uns contratempos, falta de motivação e outras questões que me fizeram largar.

Mas enfim, a Gothic me motivou bastante a criar minha própria equipe. E a Cat me motivou muito também quando eu estava pensando em desistir e apagar o tumblr quando eu estava na pior das minhas crises de falta de motivação. Sendo que eu tenho até hoje a mensagem que ela me passou salva nas asks :)

E claro, tem a Dhuly também que começou como uma leitora minha em outra historia e que veio para esse mundo no tumblr. E que seria alguém que também iria me motivar pra caramba a continuar, quando eu pensei em desistir pela segunda vez.

Então... Veio o reboot desse universo da JR. Depois de um tempo eu fiquei incomodado com a minha equipe em algumas coisas que me fizeram querer mudar.

Sendo que fiquei realmente incomodado com o fato de que eu havia feito umas escolhas de cast que já não me agradavam mais, alguns enredos ligados a minha historia que estavam destoando demais do caminho que eu estava tomando no Tumblr e outros fatores que me levaram a criar um Tumblr novo e dar um reboot no universo que criei.

Então, é basicamente um Tumblr que tem os roleplays com as equipes de personagens respondendo asks de vocês... Sendo que talvez no futuro surja um conto ou outro, mas faz anos que eu não escrevo nada.

E a versão original de Justice Reborn foi postada em 2016. Ou seja, esses personagens existem a cinco anos. Espero que tenha sido o que você queria saber. Acho que eu nunca falei tão abertamente sobre a criação da equipe assim.

Então é isso... Eu me inspirei no que estava lendo na época. Porém, segui o meu próprio caminho. E atualmente, estou satisfeito com o que criei.

É, foi textão mesmo hahaha.

Thii

vc já pensou em criar outra equipe com filhos da liga? Tipo um pequeno reboot mas sem ser um reboot?

Olha, eu sei que essa pergunta aqui foi referente ao fato da Dhuly ter feito duas "dimensões"paralelas dela. Porque essa ask é antiga, antes da Cat anunciar as mudanças que ela fez nos Jovens Vingadores.

Bom, falando seriamente com vocês. Eu tenho pensado em um reboot para a história. Porque a maior razão de eu ter deixado de escrever a Justice Reborn era porque a história não estava me agradando.

E nesses quatro anos que os personagens existem (sim, faz quatro anos sendo que estou a dois anos sem postar nada), muita coisa mudou. Tem personagens que mudaram na minha visão deles.

Então, um reboot foi pensado já a um tempo. E eu acabei começando por planejar apenas um recast aqui no Tumblr para mudar os rostos de alguns. Ai pensei... Tem mais coisas que eu mudaria. E enfim, surgiu a ideia de um possível enredo novo que me agrada mais.

Quem sabe eu não me motive a escrever algo. Planos e vontade surgirem, está apenas para surgir aquela coragem de mudar e começar do início o que até então existia como definitivo.

Então é isso...

Esperem mudanças. Quando elas virão? Vou deixar para fazer surpresa para vocês.

ooooooooop. looks like janhvi bhaabi is no longer the favt. of “kabir”.

can't blame him. she dug that hole herself, with the kavya should leave nonsense.

damn, that ice cold look in her eyes.

oh kavya. you beautiful, stupid, idealist. i hope to god that you succeed. i won't bet on it, but i really hope you clear your name before your exit.

bada hi focused smile of krishna on kavya.

abbe oh, this isn't the 90s anymore. we don't do this shit when we're anxious; we scroll mindlessly through the internet and feel worse about ourselves.

“yeh family kabhi bhi aisi nahi thi.” hard to believe coz your dad was born kameena, but ok?

apparently pk was always “like this” but not a shitty person to his own family it seems. that's better i guess???? for those few lucky ppl who won the lottery to be a mittal.

ofc it started with dhruv's shaadi. apparently kabir had come too. so he has NOT been away for 6 continuous years.

LMAO IT WAS NOT AT ALLLLL NECESSARY TO PLAY AYE DIL LAAYA HAI BAHAAR TO UNDERSCORE HOW AMAAAAZING THE FAMILY WAS.

i cannot believe pk was like this, ever. based on what we saw of him 20 years ago threatening the fam to shut up about ashok/the meds....... he was never nice to his fam. it's the whole reason kabir ran away to join the army?!?! ainvayi retconning nonsense.

kavya asking the right questions.

that's exaaaactly what she's saying, idiot. you didn't have to say it out loud like that and make her defensive.

oh god kabir is convinced there was a third person in the house. Y'ALL ARE LITERALLY SO STUPID. THE SARI KA PATTERN IS VISIBLE ON THE FOOTAGE FFS. AND THE HAIR IS LONG, UNLIKE KAVYA'S. SRSLY YOU GUYS.

now he's giving kavya a lecture on how janhvi bhaabi is doodh ki dhuli. bitch, she'll have the last laugh as she exits the house, leaving your dumb ass. and i can't wait for that now.

kavya gtfo here, dude. this idiot deserves to tussle with janvhi for the rest of his life. you and aarush go live your best life elsewhere.

late night adventure to check dad ka laptop and footage. best.

IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO HOLD HER HAND FOR THAT. I'M TRYING TO GET THE FUCK OVER YOU AND YOU ARE JUST MAKING IT SO HARD FOR ME. (name of kabir's sex tape.)

the most unrealistic thing here is her wearing this super pushup bra under her pjs at like 2 in the morning. whoooooooo does that? a psychopath, that's who.

is camera ka toh wire kaat diya. but what about the others in the house that could show you entering the study???

...................... itna bada security and thaam jhaam and pk doesn't even have a password on his laptop. fucking dumbass.

oh shit oh shit oh shitttttttttt

also, zain's tshirt so tight, you can see his body mic. mmmhmmm.

oh chup gayi. how though????? she literally didn’t hear them till he opened the door.

secret agent is like oh ho laptop garam hai. kisi ne use kiya hai. some CID level investigation happening here.

oh it got deleted. damn janhvi, luck always on your side huh?

OMG IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU IDIOTS ARE EVEN WORSE? YOU HEARD THE LAMP MOVE AND DIDN'T EVEN MOVE TO CHECK IT OUTTTTTTT? MAN EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS DEPLORABLY STUPID THESE DAYS.

why would you leave IMMEDIATELY? what if they were still out there?!?!!?!?!!?

ASALKDFJSLAKDSJLSKJDLSAKJLDJKDSA

good, smartly she put it on kabir/kavya. first akalmandi ka kaam she’s done in over a week now.

ouff now he'll think they cut the wire/deleted the footage. abbe yaaaaaaaar. i'm just so done with this nonsense. ab toh leap ho hi jaaye. aamne saamne se ho jung.

lollllllllllll love your shaatir face tho boo.

some heavy anti-kavya lobbying + “hum kabir ko kho nahi sakte.”

yeah, same.

some more shaatir face appreciation. ouff this face of hers is what’s keeping me here. the things i do for you, shrenu.

yeh kya auntiyon ki tarah apni dost se apni bahu ki shikaayat kar raha hai???? if your election is so impt. to you, focus on that.

how would pk know this random nondescript file contains........... ok you know what, idc. none of the writing makes sense rn, idk why i'm breaking my head.

LOL THANKS TO IDIOT COMMISSIONER'S OVERWROUGHT REACTION HE KNOWS NOW. GOOD GOING, CHAMP.

LMAO HE SAW URVASHI TRYING TO HIDE IT TOO. LORDDDDDDDDDDDD ABOVE LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW IS OPERATING ON ONE SHARED BRAIN CELL RN.

waah, what athleticism.

the cat is out of the bag.

what even was raghav/urvashi’s reason of hiding it from him though? what's in it for them??????????

———————————————————————

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KAVYA, TAKE THE DAMN PHOTO TO KABIR TOMORROW INSTEAD OF BEING AN IDIOT AS PER USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gulab Jamun recipe. Learn how to make soft melt in mouth Gulab Jamuns with tips and tricks.

Gulab Jamun ahh.. !! Ask any Indian about their favourite desert, Gulab Jamun are surely one of the main ones!

At every Indian party, or celebration and in restaurants one sweet treat that is always served are Gulab Jamun.

Now you can find Gulab Jamun in stores too in tinned packages, but nothing having a Gulab Jamun from the local Halwai shop(snacks and traditional mithai shops in India) or the ones made at home!!

Here I am with a an easy recipe using milk powder/milk mawa, that you can prepare within 30 minutes from start to finish!!

Today is the auspicious occasion Dusherra and I made these sweet treats for the occasion!! To know more about Dusherra click here..

Sometimes we miss all the fun of traditional festivals here, far away from home.. but then I always try to make something traditional for family and we celebrate the festivals in our own little ways!!

Dusherra Special

On my facebook group Foodie Monday Bloghop, all the members are dishing up their favourite or Dusherra special treats!! #VijayDashmiSpecial. Dusherra is also known as Vijay Dushmi!!

In our families(me and my hubby’s side) we have this traditon of having Jalebis with milk or Rabri. In morning my dad always got Jalbei from market and after pooja, we used to have it with mom’s homemade rabri or in hot milk!! At some occasion I remember my gradmom(dadi) made Aatte ke Pue for Dusherra Pooja!! Lunch used to be of simple steamed rice with dhuli Urad dal(Split and skinned black gram lentil) with buttermilk and some dry veggie.

Since I already have Crispy Jalebi and Atte Ke Pue recipe on the blog so I decided to link these sweet syrupy Gulab Jamuns for Dusherra Special . Kids too were thrilled to have Gulab Jamuns after they came back from school!

What are Gulab Jamun

Gulab Jamun are deep fried sweet balls made of milk solids, dipped in sugar syrup.

At my place Gulab Jamun are one of the favourite festival treats after the simple and humble Sooji Ka Halwa and Chawal Ki Kheer(Rice Pudding). Kids, hubby love Gulab Jamun and more than them it is me who adores these sweet treats dipped in sugar syrup.

My favourite Indian Mithai since I was a toddler, that’s my mom recalls!! Whenever she made these or my dad used to get it from market, mom always had to find some safe place hiding from me especially when guests were coming over!! so that she could save it from me for guests dad and my little sis 😉 !!

Till date I love gorging on Gulab Jamun but now no one has to hide these from me !! t and I also eat these sensibly, due to lot of sugar in it. I always make these on festivals ad serve to my family and friends!!

How to make Gulab Jamun

Preparing Gulab Jamun takes very less time but it is little tricky to get the right texture. But with few tips and tricks we can makes soft melt in mouth Gulab Jamuns at home too.

The whole process can be divided into three parts..

Making of Khoya Balls/Gulab Jamun balls,

Deep Frying the balls and

Making Sugar Syrup.

Making of Khoya Balls

Gulab Jamun are made out of khoya/mawa or evaporated milk solids. I don’t like the store bought khoya that is available here at local Indian stores, so either I make my own or use milk powder/milk mawa to make Indian Khoya based desserts.

Milk Mawa is a kind of evaporated milk that we get at Indian Grocery stores. Milk powder(evaporated milk) is available at other regular stores like(Walmart) can also be used as substitute for Khoya. To Mathura Ke Pede, Kalakand recipes and many other sweet Indian desserts , I use milk powder as substitute for khoya.

To make homemade Khoya you can check out this recipe link, where I have explained easy way out to make khoya especially for those living out of India.

Coming back to Gulab Jamun I used milk mawa here you can use milk powder.

Gulab jamun are deep fried, we need some binding agent also so that the balls don’t break while frying. I use all-purpose flour or semolina for that. In the post I have covered both the methods. The results are almost same. We get soft melt in mouth gulab jamun with either of the two.

Other ingredients are baking powder(makes it soft and puffs up khoya balls, desi ghee for binding and milk to knead the dough. I have used leftover paneer whey that we get after making paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese) at home. Left over Paneer whey is a good source of proteins and can be use in place of water or milk while kneading dough for chapatis or breads or baking muffins.

Steps to make Khoya balls

Mix milk powder/milk mawa with semolina(sooji) /all-purpose flour(maida), baking powder and milk it nicely.

Add ghee ad mix nicely with hands. Rub it in milk powder ix with fingers.

Add lukewarm paneer whey/milk and very gently knead the dough. It should be soft and not crumbly.Do not knead the dough very tightly. Jamuns will break while frying.

Make small balls (lemon sized), the balls expand so keep the size keeping it in mind. Keep the balls covered with a cloth.

Frying Gulab Jamun Balls

Fry Gulab Jamun balls on low heat. The oil should not be very hot, to check drop a tiny ball of dough in oil it should rise slowly to surface.

Drop 1 jamun to check whether the dough is good enough, fry it on low flame, if it doesn’t break, add another batch.

Drop 3-4 balls at a time if you are making it for the first time.

Keep the flame low while frying, else balls will remain uncooked from inside.

Fry balls till light brown. We like little more deep fried gulab jamun balls.

Making Sugar Syrup

For sugar syrup, we need castor/granulated sugar, water, saffron strands(optional), cardamom pods or powder and rose essence.

Gulab Jamuns when dipped in sugar syrup, increase in size so take a big vessel as per the quantity .

In a deep and big pan/kadhai add 3 cups water and 2 cups of sugar. Add saffron strands, cardamom powder or pods.Also add rose essence. I did not have it so I skipped it.

Boil the solution for 7-8 minutes till it becomes sticky. Don’t cook it more, we don’t want any string in sugar solution.

Drop gulab jamun balls in sugar syrup when it is warm. Do not drop balls when it is too hot or too cold. Gulab Jamuns can break when the syrup is too hot and will not soak syrup when too cold.

Leave Gulab Jamun in the pan covered for 2-3 hrs, till they puff up and soak syrup.

Refrigerate for storing and serve chilled or warm .

How to serve Gulab Jamun

Chilled or warm, each one has there own preference of having Gulab Jamun.

To warm, gulab Jamun, microwave in a microwave safe bowl for 10-20 seconds, serve with rabri or vanilla ice-cream.

É vdd que esse tumblr tá meio parado mas todo mundo passa por uma fase fria, então com fé e foco tudo é possível e tenho certeza que vc vai passar por essa fase!

Beijuuusss 👄👄👄

ah eu sei que essa fase acontece msm, sei realmente, mas ainda é chato e desmotivador, pq a maioria de nós trabalha muito para criar os personagens e criar histórias interessantes

tipo, eu adoraria estar escrevendo mil histórias sobre esses personagens, pq eu realmente sou apegada a eles, maaas essa fase fria desmotiva bastante, pq a gente quer debater e ver as reações e tudo mais

mas como eu disse, eu entendo!

obrigada sinceramente pelo apoio!

Sringeri Jagadguru Vijaya Yatra 2012

Courtesy: https://lists.advaita-vedanta. org/archives/chaturamnaya/ 2015-September/000118.html

http://vijayayatra.sringeri. net/pondicherry-june-13-2012/

Pondicherry: JUNE 13-14, 2012

*Rise in Life Through Dharmic Means*

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji arrived at Pondicherry on 13th June evening.

After Dhuli Pada Puja was performed, Vidwan SLP Anjaneya Sharma read out the Swagata Patrika in Sanskrit

and Sri Ramakrishnan delivered it in Tamil.

In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru said that, while everyone wishes to rise in their lives, many do not know the path that must be taken to achieve this. There is a Sanskrit verse that humorously says

people resort to even nonsensical antics to attain fame – be they braying like a donkey or even breaking

a pot or tearing apart clothes –

घटं भिन्द्यात् पटं छिन्द्यात् कुर्याद्वा गर्दभध्वनिम् ।

येन केन प्रकारेण प्रसिद्धपुरुषो भवेत् ॥

It is a blunder to try to come up in life by indulging in actions that are prohibited by the Shastras.

It is not wrong to wish to come up in life. However the means to it must be understood well. The means

have been laid down by the Shastras. We have had great ancestors who had accomplished a lot in their lives,

while adhering to the boundaries prescribed by the Shastras.

Today people mistakenly feel that one cannot come up in life if one sticks to Dharma and Nyaya. Understand

that your fall is imminent if you transgress Dharma and Nyaya. The Jagadguru quoted examples from the Ramayana and Mahabharata with Sri Rama and Sri Yudhishthira as ideals and Ravana and Duryodhana as

possessing characteristics to be shunned. Sri Rama stood for Dharma and it was Ravana who met his fate at the hands of Sri Rama. Yudhishthira had the firm resolve to undergo suffering to any extent for the

sake of upholding Dharma while Duryodhana amassed and enjoyed what was not his, by unjust means. He met with such a fate that he had none of his kith and kin to even perform his last rites. Yudhishthira himself performed his last rites.

The Jagadguru pointed out our implicit faith in Dharma is demonstrated by the fact that though

five thousand years have passed since the time of the Mahabharata, and eons have passed since the time of Sri Rama, we only name our children after Sri Rama and Dharmaraja. No child is named Ravana or Duryodhana as they are Adharmikas. We do not wish to even utter their names. The greatness of the name of Sri Rama is highlighted in a verse that when one opens the mouth to utter the syllable “ra”, our sins are pushed out

through the mouth, while they are stopped from reentering when we utter the next syllabe “ma” –

राशब्दोच्चाराणादेव मुखान्निर्यान्ति पातकाः ।

पुनः प्रवेशभीत्यात्र मकारस्तु कवाटवत् ॥

This greatness is because Sri Rama was an exemplar of Dharma. The Vedas state that Dharma has the power

to remove sins –

धर्मो विश्वस्य जगतः प्रतिष्ठा । लोके धर्मिष्ठं प्रजा उपसर्पन्ति । धर्मेण पापमपनुदति । धर्मे सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम् । तस्माद्धर्मं परमं वदन्ति ।

Dharma must be adhered to for the welfare of the entire world for Dharma is the foundation of the world.

People seek those who adhere to Dharma. Everything rests on Dharma and hence Dharma is regarded as Supreme.

Sri Rama’s greatness is summed up by a statement – रामो विग्रहवान् धर्मः – Rama was Dharma personified. The reason for mentioning this is that when people wish to come up in life, they must do so by Dharmic means.

Be it wealth or status, a time will come when they will be of no use. Sri Adi Shankaracharya has also pointed out in His Bhashya that only one who adheres to Dharma will be revered as a Mahatma.

The Jagadguru reiterated that the Shastras are not against the acquisition of wealth. However they point out the means to such acquisition has to be Dharmic – न्योपार्जितवित्तेन कर्तव्यं ह्यात्मरक्षणम् । It is perfectly fine to earn

wealth by Dharmic means, enjoy it and engage in charity. Money that flows in through unjust means will flow out as quickly as it arrived.

Most people do not realize that one may be able to escape the long arm of the law but can never cheat Ishwara who is witness to all our actions and resides in our hearts –

ईश्वरः सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति ।

भ्रामयन् सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया ॥

Even though the Puranas describe myriad sufferings in store for various kinds of sins committed, no one realizes that he is answerable to Yama, the Lord of Dharma after death. Instead, people brush this off

nonchalantly. Not a single person has taken to heart the fact that they have to face the consequences of

their Adharmic actions.

If you are an Astika, you must not overlook this fact. So if you wish to hold your head high in front of Ishwara after death, stay away from Adharma. In the Mahabharata, when Sanjaya narrated that Abhimanyu was

mercilessly and cunningly killed by six powerful warriors (Atirathas) led by Duryodhana, even Dhritarashtra was unable to bear it. He expressed great regret at this unjust act and said, “What answer would I be able

to give if, after death, the Lord asks me to justify this act of my son?”. Sanjaya replied “This is not the only question that you will have to face, O King! You will also be answerable to a number of other questions related to past events: Why did you cooperate when a plan was hatched to murder the Pandavas

in the palace made of lac? Why did you allow Draupadi to be humiliated in your court? Please prepare

answers for all these quesitons, O King!”

This illustration is relevant to bring about the understanding that no wrong-doer can escape from the Lord.

One may have wealth, power and fame on earth and thousands of followers to do one’s bidding and think that

he is unquestionable. However, none of these will help when you stand in front of Ishwara. You will be alone and must be prepared to face the consequences.

Hence be afraid of doing any Adharmic act. Do not muster the courage or will to do Adharma. Have the foresight to think of the consequences you will have to face if you indulge in Adharma now.

The Shastras point out that it is desire (kama) and anger (krodha) that make one commit an Adharmic act.

Hence take efforts to destroy kama and krodha. The two – kama and krodha – remain inside us and instigate us to indulge in Adharma resulting in our own suffering. Hence the Lord declares them to be our enemies in

the Gita –

काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः ।

महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ॥

The impact of strong desire and intense anger is such that they cloud a person’s sense of judgement.

The strong desire to possess something overpowers the person’s intellect and makes him to do an Adharmic act.

Just as dirt that has settled on a mirror affects its capacity to reflect well, a mind filled with desire or anger loses its sense of judgement and engages in Adharma. Hence learn to curb desire and anger.

Show your anger upon anger and not on anyone else. If you learn to despise anger, you will never get angry.

Then you lose motivation towards performing Adharma. You will not need to face consequences of performing

Adharma when you goto Paraloka.

The Jagadguru summarized the entire Bhashanam stating that man must rise in life only through Dharmic means.

Only if one stays away from Adharma, will adherence to Dharma be possible. Adharmic actions spring forth

only due to kama (desire) and krodha (anger). One cannot extricate oneself from indulging in Adharmic acts if one has not controlled kama and krodha. Hence, one must not give way to kama and krodha, stay away from

Adharma and come up in life through Dharmic means.

The Jagadguru recalled His visit to Pondicherry along with His Guru in 1982, His own visit 25 years back and

blessed the gathering that they remain Dharmikas and attain Shreyas. The Jagadguru then performed the

Sharada Chandramoulishwara Puja.

*At the Sringeri Shivaganga Math*

On the morning of 14th June 2012, the Jagadguru graced the premises of the Sringeri Shivaganga Math at

Pondicherry and was received with Poornakumbha honours by the Mathadhipati of the Math, Sri Sacchidananda Bharati Swamiji. The Jagadguru graced the Math on the occasion of the Kumbhabhisheka day of the shrine of Sri Anjaneya at the Math.
