#haldie rambles

[haldenlith]

This track is lodged into my head like a knife, especially now that I've read the translation of the lyrics.

Needless to say, I'm busy drawing Uldwyn/Hal.

[sab-teraa]

What is the oddest way someone asked you out ?

Omg! I don’t know if this fits + it’s not that exciting … but it took me tf out bc it was unexpected. Story time:

My cousin got married last December and during the haldi ceremony my uncle pulled me aside and was like ‘omg, there’s this guy that keeps staring at you’ … and I was like ??? … I just thought he was seeing things bc he was somewhat drunk. Plus, I literally kept asking him WHO bc I could not comprehend it ??? My cousin had a super intimate wedding … I felt like I knew everyone there … so it just made no sense lol.

Anyway, the next day at the wedding … my grandmothers sister pulls me aside and she was like “I heard someone at the haldi liked you” … so I turned to my aunt and I was like “omg noooo you told them about K’s drunk ramblings 💀” and then my grandmas sister was like “no, he actually approached me to ask about you” .. AND THAT TOOK ME OUT! Never in my life have I ever heard of anyone going straight to an elder to ask about someone lol.

I actually regret saying no 😭 but at that time it was v complicated … especially since I was stressed with my masters + I live out of town. But yeah, it a regret of mine. Plus, I’m still curious to know who he is bc he didn’t attend the wedding.

Not super juicy, but it just surprised me lol

I also have rambling thoughts on Edwina, as I feel like they could have changed her character, and even had her oblivious to Kate & Anthony but kept her essence.

I’m going to wait until Friday of course, but the little we’ve seen she feels very ditzy in her cluelessness. I would have found it more compelling if she was this perfect diamond who had been prepared for marriage but wasn’t as enthused about it as she pretended, but felt pressure from her family and for money reasons - that is a legit reason for there to be tension between Kate & Anthony!

And even in this situation if it got to an engagement with A&E, it would still be fair to be mad that they were prepared to make all of them miserable because they are stubborn. And then miscommunication between all three Spurs the drama on - K thinks E likes Anthony because she doesn’t let on, and E has no idea K & A like each other as they are still hiding it. So a comedy of errors almost.

It also means Edwina’s entire plot isn’t revolving around being the third person in a ‘triangle’ - she could have been the person the queen asks to find out about LW and mer Eloise & Theo and learned loads and kind of set up for a maybe lesbian realisation next series (unlikely but even just like the book where she can marries whoever she wants as her sister is a Viscountess).

Anyway, that is it, I obviously need to see it - I don’t think Edwina is a villain but I’m just a bit dubious about the way they went to make her less 2D then in the book.

I don't think Edwina's a villian either but shes not as "mature" or perceptive so that does change things so yeah she does seem a bit of a mess. That "sisters" comment thats making rounds is definitely cruel sounding but we don't know the context. So for book Edwinas sake I’m trying not to judge yet.

Despite what the events and changes in the show are, she's still the person being intentionally and unintentionally used the most? Even with the changes made I do prefer her character having importance outside of Kate and Anthony. Like you mentioned, striking up a friendship with Eloise, Penelope, anyone really and have her move away from Kate so she sees Edwina become her own woman who doesn't need Kates guidance anymore.

Its just very odd how the initial talk about the show isn't translating into what allegedly happens. Other than the accents, Edwina seems like any other English debutante. There was this weird emphasis on growing up free. Maybe in the show we'll see how growing up in India affected their personalities but right now other than the accents and the haldi, i dont see how Edwina is different and how they couldn't have been from Somerset.

Aur shayad agar mera naseeb accha hua, aur is rab ne saath diya toh dubara accha pati bhi banunga”

Haha, yes bitch. Omkie be right. Aisa kam queenie k siva aur koi ni kar sakta tha. 😍😍

Awww, look @ Gauri’s genuine smile. 😍 Just like Chulbul brought smiles and happiness to Omkara during his darkest of times, Dilpreet is doing the same for Gauri. For the first time since forever, I’m loving how Rikara’s story is shaping up. 💖

Creepy dude looks legit smitten lmao. Can ya blame him tho? Queenie looks like a million bucks 👸👸👸👸

Omg dude stop staring at Gauri, it’s so creepy. 😫😫

Kuch bhi kar sakte hai? Guy, chill. Ladke wale ho, bhagwan nahi. But some people do have this ghatiya mentality in India. Ugh.😡😡😡😡

Omg Omkara Dilpreet stop saying, “sardar naal pangaji, not changaji”. You’re not an actual sardar ok. 😒😒😒😒😒

This tashan scene is so long and drawn out, I’m already getting bored. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Anyway, now I’m 💯% sure iska bhanda creepy dude ki wajah se hi phootega.

I know ib me logic lagana is plain silly but WHY THE FUCK IS BHAVYA JUST STANDING THERE? Like, I’ve had to hold my pee for several hours cause of turbulence before. You’re not fucking allowed to just stand on a flight. Wtf is this fuckery. Ughhh, my head hurts 🤕🤕🤕

And why does this baby want some action? Dafuq she thinks this is? Why didn’t you just bring your earphones bitch? It’s the 21st century, bring your own entertainment. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Ugh, no more torture, I’m ffwding. ⏩⏩⏩⏩

Btw remember when he actually asked for permission before tying her dori? And ab full haq jama raha hai. 😏😏😏😏😏😏

Hahahhahhaha, Omkara Dilpreet bhi maidaan-e-jang me utar hi gaya. 😂😂😂😂😂

Look at this guy, he’s doing everything he hated for Gauri. Lying, making sweets and now fucking dancing for her. I’m not saying Gauri should, but I’d totes give him another chance. It helps he looks like an actual angel ofc. Sigh, them beautiful eyes. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Like I bet if it weren’t for patnidharam, Gauri would’ve already fallen for Dilpreet, he’s such a nice, wholesome guy! 💜💜💜💜💜

LOL look at this extra, desi dance-off. I’m dead. 😂😂😂

Chalo ho gaya, the sentiment, every single desi person feels after a big function is over lol. 😂😂😂😂

The creep’s back. Dear god, he’s so creepy, even I feel uncomfortable looking at his advances. Baat toh kya, I don’t even want him to stand near her Gauri, heck, I don’t even want him to breathe the same air as her. 10ft ki doori pe reh bhai. I bet Omkara shares this sentiment too. MAKE HIM OMKIE. MAKE.HIM. 😡😡😡😡

Fuck. Nooooooo. Don’t leave the room Omkara. 😧😧😧😧

Is he doing what I think he’s doing? He’s trying to propose? 😲😲😲😲

Lol, Gauri trying to deflect him. Good try sis. 👏👏

He did. OMG BITCH ARE YOU BLIND? Mangalsutra nahi dikh raha hai? 😡😡😡😡😡

At least he’s upfront about it.

Naam ki shaadi? He knows it’s invalid? 🤔🤔🤔

OMG!!!! ARE MY RIKARA REMARRIAGE DREAMS GON COME TRUE??? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

NOOOOOO, DON’T GIVE ME THIS HOPE!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It wasn’t a bad proposal until he started threatening Richa's marriage. Fuck outta here with your blackmail boi! 😡😡😡😡

Man, Gauri is PISSED. Omkara se pehle kahin yeh hi uska murder na kar de. 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

OH THE PRECAP IS LIT. IT IS LIT!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[haldenlith]

So, just me rambling about Revenant Act III and the ending we got, but... man... I don't know.

That was... really undercooked and underwhelming, narratively speaking, and the gameplay loop just did not hit right at all for me. I gave up and just watched the damn ending stuff on Youtube. I genuinely did not find running the Exotic mission over and over again enjoyable, at all. It was, in essence, the exact same mission each time. Almost nothing changed outside of dialogue and a different Scorn boss at the very end.

This was not helped by the fact I got error coded and kicked out, and had to run the mission multiple times just in an attempt to finish the damn thing and move on with the story mission.

I think that exacerbated how unsatisfied I felt with the story, too. If I'm throwing myself at a brick wall multiple times, the story better be compelling as fuck, and it just... wasn't. Not to mention how things were segmented out just made the episode as a whole weaker. The Apothecary? Her whole story thread? For how important she was? That shit should not have been in the (extremely buggy) Fieldwork missions. It should have been part of the main quest chain. That was not optional information for the narrative.

Also, Misraaks's ascension to Kell of Kells? Weak. Bizarrely so. We've had a prophecy being drilled into us ever since the days of Skolas's first appearance. It damn near sounded biblical. I expected... more. Maybe Misraaks would die, protecting his daughter or something -- the what isn't important, the death is -- and then, by a stroke of The Light (NOT a Ghost), he breathes life once again, chosen. Heck, maybe Eramis could've even brought him back with The Light from the Echo? I don't know. Something more, something leaning on The House of Rain prophecy, something more interesting, more worthy than the guy being the only guy left on the lineup, and we shrug and go "guess you win by default, my man."

Like come on. Really?

And then there's, for me, the elephant in the room: Fikrul. On one hand, I am pleasantly surprised they let us kill him for reals. No bait and switch. No "oh no he escaped! *snaps fingers* Darn!" like with Maya. Not even a dubious fade-to-black death. He died right on screen. It's nice to get actual finality to a boss like this without it being some big Raid or Expansion thing. THAT SAID, I am disappointed in how he was handled. Or, rather, how the loose-end side of him was handled.

Crow is in the episode, trying his best to do his job as the new Hunter Vanguard, and it's endearing, and it would've been perfectly fine for that to be his only role....... If it weren't for the sheer amount of HISTORY between him and Fikrul. He's the entire reason Fikrul exists. We get a little of it in Act I and then... nothing else. It's weird and unsatisfying. It also feels inconclusive. For me, that was a loose thread that just never got tied off. Hell, talking to Crow at the end is optional, which blows my mind. Fikrul and Crow are characters that are intertwined. We hear this in Fikrul's boss lines! He references these things! And yet it feels kind of ignored. It also felt weird to hear so little from Crow on the matter, when Fikrul was enough of a regret, enough of a major pain point for him, that his form is what the Pyramid Nightmare manifested as in Season of the Haunted. I don't know, I guess just some kind of closure would've been nice. Some kind of "and now the cycle Uldren started is finally, truly over." I'm actually going to point at a very short fanfic for this. That there? If we had gotten that as a very short little cutscene at the tail end, after Eramis's "goodbye and good riddance" message, it would've been a perfect tie off point. It's over. It's truly, finally, over. Instead all we got was just a bit of dialogue that was easily missable. Feels Bad Man.

All of my complaints about the lukewarm narrative aside, my bigger complaints are the bugs. Jfc, the bugs. It almost feels like there isn't a QA team anymore, it's ridiculous. Everything combined just makes me not confident for the future. This isn't a game I want to stick with and spend money on, because I can't confidently say that I feel like I'm getting bang for my buck. It doesn't feel worth it. I don't know what I'm going to get -- a game that runs, or a game that might break under mysterious circumstances at a variety of points and for a variety of reasons. I'm sticking with my original plan of bowing out after finishing Revenant. Maybe Heresy will be good, who knows? I just know that I'm not super interested in playing this circus.

It's just not fun anymore, and it's not worth the monetary cost for me.

[haldenlith]

As I pick at and put together chapter 4 of Binary Stars, and I think of where I want to go with it and what I want to do, I think of something: the "Magical Twins" trope.

I know it's been overdone, but I think it's interesting every time it's explored and something new is done with it. I find it especially interesting when the trope is exercised on fraternal twins, as opposed to the usual identical twins.

So imagine my intrigue when I learned that Mara and Uldren were twins. I was like "oh, I bet something interesting is going to happen with them." That feeling built up more and more in my bones the more "special treatment" Crow got. I expected something really interesting, like maybe some interesting magical Light and Dark dichotomy between the two of them or something.

Aaaaand then all we got was Mystical Heart Monitor Powers. How... exciting (sarcasm).

I was -- still am -- so disappointed. I kind of expected more out of that. Then again, I expected more out of their relationship on a lot of fronts, so...

To that end, I've been pondering playing with that idea, since, well, in BS I can do whatever the fuck I want, beyond even "with the power of fanfiction I can do anything", since it's even a completely different setting. I've always really liked the idea of twins being two halves of a whole, or simply two intrinsically linked yet opposing forces (like light and dark).

I'll admit I don't know where I want to go with that, because I also like the idea of Villain Mara, (I maintain she has the makings of a great villain) but I also am not sure I know how to write that.

Things to think on.

I guess in the end this is just rambling to say that I'm still kind of disappointed where Destiny went with Mara and Uldren/Crow.

[haldenlith]

Oh, if you want a better build, you have to do Arbitrations and Steel Path, they said. It'll be fine, they said.

I am getting my ass handed to me on Steel Path. And I look on Overframe to get ideas and all these builds are just greek to me. What's a Galvanized mod? Archon shards? What's Rolling Guard? I've never heard of that gun. But Arcanes are so hard to get?

😵

[haldenlith]

Sometimes I wish I could just beam what's in my mind onto the digital canvas without putting in the work.

Like I kind of randomly want to do some nicely lit porn of D2-era Ardwynn just having some alone time, but it's 1AM, and I do not have the brainpower to work that out in a way that will look even remotely satisfying to my neurons.

I think I need to start setting commission money aside and just start commissioning people for shit. I remember how over the moon I was when Brighan drew Ardwynn (it was just an SFW freebie, but it was still very cool). Ah, but then the cheapskate in me kicks in and goes, "why pay someone to do what you can do yourself?"

The continuing struggle of the "inside you are two wolves" variety.

[haldenlith]

I love how previously I could not be assed to rep grind in Warframe. Yet, turns out, all you need to motivate me to do exactly that is tie it to getting to know a group of adorable traumatized idiots, and potentially romancing one of those idiots.

I'm romancing Amir, for the record, in case my reblogs haven't given that away. Though Eleanor was a strong contender.

[haldenlith]

*slides in* Have some Old Leather Gays talking about activism and how to get involved. (And by involved, I mean more than just tongue lashing people on the internet.)

Because we're gonna need it.

[haldenlith]

You know, even when I do get my internet back, I think my PS Plus will be expired, and homie doesn’t have the money to throw at something like that.

Well, crap. At least there’ll be Warframe.

[haldenlith]

Coexist

You know, I’ve never seen anyone address just how difficult it is to live with other people, especially if you are suffering from mental health issues. You’re already struggling to find equilibrium in living with yourself, but then you have to deal with these other fuckers who are completely independent from you, living under the same roof, with their own habits, problems, and agendas. Having roommates is legitimately exhausting if you’re not compatible with them.

I’m serious.

If you’re someone who works a night schedule with day roommates, the likelihood that you’ll get woken up at one point, or wake them up, is pretty high, especially if one of the parties involved isn’t very considerate or are just generally loud people. If you like having a perfectly manicured, clean space, and find that you, unfortunately, live with slobs, or at the very least people with considerably more... lax standards, you’re going to be stressed out by fighting a constant uphill battle of the common areas being a mess, and constantly arguing about it being a problem. There’s even just the general dealing with the other person, be it literally dealing with them in the kitchen, when you just wanted to get a drink and not talk to anyone, but of course they want to chat you up, to less direct instances of them having their friends over, or, in one of my unfortunate past experiences, having significant others over and, well, having loud sex.

I feel like it’s like getting married with none of the benefits, not even the fun party bit, a lot of the time.

It blows my mind that when it comes to moving, people just throw out the casual “Oh just get a roomie” suggestion like it’s nothing. Aside from the dangers presented of rooming with complete strangers, there’s all of the above items, tacked on with the ever present danger that they’ll just vanish and leave you hanging with the bills and the lease. I’ve had that happen to way too many friends.

As said, this is all way worse when you’re dealing with issues, when you’re, basically, unwell. Case in point, I recognize a great deal of why I have such a hard time improving, or even just managing my anxiety and depression, is largely because I already don’t have the energy to deal with average day to day shit, but then I’m dealing with the fact that I am very much in that “neat freak living with a slob” scenario. I can’t cook because the kitchen is always dirty, and I have to hype myself up just make food without the added shit, and when the kitchen ISN’T dirty, it’s actually worse, as the OTHER roommate is half blind but insists on trying to clean house anyway. Nine times out of ten, I have rewash everything when she does dishes, as they’ll still be oily and caked with food, but put away in the cabinets. It’s a constant guessing game of “Is this clean?” when I grab a dish or a glass, or even a fork, unless I personally cleaned it. It is exhausting and a lot of times I just eat some ramen, or a meal bar. I know it’s bad for me, I know I need to eat more, but I legit don’t have the energy.

Or, you know, there’s the fact that being social just doesn’t happen. People don’t get invited here, these days. I’m ashamed of this place and I don’t want people seeing that I live here.

Like, seriously, living with people is incredibly hard if you don’t mesh with them, and you can’t just up and move out. That requires money, time, planning... I just wish more thought was given to the casual “Just get roommates” thing, or even to the general idea of cohabitation, because when you get it wrong, it grinds you down.

[haldenlith]

I’m starting to feel like I’m fundamentally missing something in this whole job thing. Try to go to school, end up spending money for nothing. Try to earn money by applying myself at my various (retail) jobs, try to move up. End up still on the bottom of the totem pole with a burning hatred of humanity and develop raging social anxiety. Try to apply myself independently and hone marketable skills I already have, only to be told I don’t have enough experience to USE those skills. Try to go BACK to school to both further hone those skills, get new skills because shit has apparently changed, AND get a stupid fucking piece of paper to get me past the gate keepers, only to feel like I’m wasting my time.

And I’m already at that point in my current (dead end retail) job that I want to run away screaming, but I have no where to run to, because it’s just MORE dead end retail jobs on the horizon.

[haldenlith]

Something that bothers me:

Can we talk about the fact that all of these fuckers, Nazis and what have you, have some amazing designwork going on? The original Nazi uniforms, even the flag, all of it, was so fucking visually appealing.

It pisses me off. And then this Generation Identity group with their slick ass logo. Why can’t they all be like the Ku Klux Klan and look like the dumb shits they are?

This designer is bothered. Greatly.

[haldenlith]

When you have a mental break and then realize how much work you could’ve gotten done, and now have to get a shit ton of college work done over the weekend.

Thanks depression and anxiety. I could’ve been getting shit done, but no, I decided to try and sleep for 24 hours straight, because that’s helpful.

[haldenlith]

When you like V not just because he’s a great, horribly dramatic and fabulous character, but because you totally identify with the “fucking broken body WORK, WORK DAMN YOU” sentiment.

Particularly that last chunk of the game. I believe it is as the kids say, “big mood.”
