i think there shld be some kinda local authority run app that is free & you just tell it where you live and/or work & then whenever you do smth that is gonna make a Notably Loud Noise such as fireworks or whatever the fuck it is they do in the industrial yard that makes the big whump sound, you tell the app before you do it & the app warns everyone else close enough to hear it. so then i do not have to have a brief but intense freakout cuz the degus started alarm calling & when i went to see them one of the girls didn't get up out of bed which is VERY uncharacteristic behaviour and also not getting up is one of the ways we knew our degu who passed unexpectedly was sick so i had to stare at her with my heart in my throat until i saw her move and then when she did move i heard another of the fucking fireworks that they were alarm calling about in the first place because she is fine she was just in freeze mode because of the unexplainable loud banging noises they all hate and i had not been expecting to hear
#yelling at clouds#it's diwali.#all my love to people celebrating a holiday but i only ever work out when diwali is off hearing the fireworks#and fireworks. are bad.

What were your favorite wintertime activities as a child? What upcoming holidays do you celebrate? How do you celebrate? ❄️ Reblog and share in the tags.
“Hi. Please take a moment to read this. I am writing a post on behalf of @suad-khaled whose fundraiser has been stagnating and has only reached 50% despite her fundraising for several months. Suad has been verified by @/nabulsi and also by @northgazaupdates, you can read more about her and her struggles in the tag here.
Suad is an engineer who after graduating with top marks was also working as a university lecturer in her university. Just before the October 7th's accelerated genocide, she also found she was pregnant and was ready to also start this new chapter of her life.
Since the genocide, she and her husband have been displaced multiple times, escaping bombing narrowly in the process. In June she gave birth to baby Khaled and then immediately had to move to a tent with him. Suad and her baby both have been sick this year and her infant has suffered from malnutrition and chest infections in the first year of his life. The doctor recommended nebulising sessions for baby Khaled because of his chest infection and allergies which also ate into the family's limited funds.
Right now, despite facing constant hunger Suad is deeply worried about being able to afford diapers and formula for Khaled. Prices have quadrupled; a pack of 36 diapers now costs $50, and a can of formula is $13. Buying cheaper formula caused baby Khaled's health to worsen. This is also baby Khaled's first winter and he needs winter clothes.
Please, please support Suad and baby Khaled and help their fundraiser reach completion so that they are able to survive and evacuate from Gaza.”
(Thank you for the help with creating this post! I did not have the brain energy to come up with the right words, so this was written by a friend of a friend.)

light of life ₊˚⊹♡
Summary: Y/N loves Diwali, the fesitval of lights, so the light of her life, Lando, surprises her.
♡ ln x desi!reader 𓇢𓆸
♡ fluff + humour + smau 𓇢𓆸
masterlist ☾☼
lando had planned a little surprise for his girlfriend. he knew how much she had wanted him to be there for diwali, but since the festival fell in the middle of a triple header, it had seemed impossible for him to do all the travel. it would have left him exhausted, and the chances of falling sick would have increased.
but, did lando care? no.
his girlfriend wanted him in india, at her house, on diwali, so that's exactly where he would be.
lando landed in india on diwali day itself. he could only be there for the night, and had a flight the next morning back to brazil. since diwali was on a thursday, andrea and zak had agreed to let him off the hook for media duties, but made lando promise to be back for the practice and sprint qualifying.
with bag in hand, and his jacket draped over his arm, lando rang the doorbell, waiting patiently. the door opened, and y/n's mother stood at the door.
"oh my god, what a nice surprise!" she exclaimed, as he let him in.
lando removed his shoes at the door, smiling. he kept his bags on the floor for a moment, and hugged y/n's mum.
"y/n hasn't stopped talking about the mexico race!" she said.
"did you watch it?" lando asked, knowing that y/n's mother had no interest in f1, despite her love for driving.
"you know i didn't!" she laughed, smacking his arm slightly.
"maa, kaun hai?" y/n's voice rang out, as she walked towards the door from wherever she had been in the house.
lando kept his bag neatly near the door, as he excitedly waited for his girlfriend to see him.
y/n froze as she saw lando standing in her living room. her mouth open in surprise.
"hey, baby! happy diwali!" lando still butchered the pronunciation, but he was learning.
"you're here!" y/n shrieked, as she ran towards him. y/n's mother moved back to give them some space.
y/n jumped into his arms, her legs wrapping around his waist, as her arms went around his neck. her face pressed into his neck as she hugged him.
lando laughed at her excitement, as he tightened his arms around her. long distance was hard enough, and add in triple headers, it made lando lose his mind a little everyday.
"surprise!" lando whispered in her ear.
"oh im so happy!" y/n said as she pulled back and stared at his face.
"that makes me so happy," lando said.
y/n leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, though the couple could not stop smiling.
a few seconds of lando and y/n lost in their little bubble had y/n's mother clearing her throat, "reminder, you guys are in india. yeh sab nahi chalta yaha!"
the couple laughed, and lando set her on her feet gently. keeping their arms around each other, lando picked up in bag, and y/n took his jacket, the two walking towards y/n's room.
"how long are you here for?" y/n asked.
"just tonight. i've got an early morning flight tomorrow for the practice and sprint quali,"
"that makes sense. you should rest now. i know the flight was tiring, and i'll wake you up when its time for the puja. okay?"
lando sat on the edge of her bed, pulling y/n closer to stand between his legs.
"okay," he said softly.
y/n smiled, leaning down to kiss him again. lando's hands moved up and down her legs, before settling on her waist and pulling her closer.
"thank you for being here," she said, pulling back.
"nowhere else i'd rather be, my love," lando whispered, before pecking her lips.
y/n moved away from him, grabbing the air conditioner remote to switch it on. lando took out a fresh set of clothes, kissed y/n on the cheek, and went in for a shower.
she watched as he closed the bathroom door behind him, and smiled at the thought that it seemed so casual for lando to know where everything was. he didn't need help from her anymore, and the domesticity of it hit y/n in the chest.
a few hours later, lando woke up in a dark room to the sound of laughter and joy coming from outside. he immediately smiled, and got up. running his hand through his hair to try and tame it, lando left the room, and was immediately greeted with bright lights, and loud, carefree chatter.
seeing him, y/n's family cheered. lando waved at everyone, smiling brighter than ever, still trying to rub sleep out of his eyes. greeting y/n's grandparents, lando leaned down and pressed his hand on their feet, and then his chest.
the grandparents patted his back, and said, "khush raho,"
lando went around the room, greeting the uncles and aunts and cousins, before he settled next to y/n, who was leaning against a cabinet, watching her family.
"we all saw the mexico race," one of y/n's uncles said.
"yeah? did you like it?" lando asked.
"oh yes. very entertaining. max races hard, no?" someone else said.
lando laughed, "yeah, he definitely does. but, its fun racing like that. that's the point of formula one,"
sounds of agreement went around the room, before they all fell into separate conversations. y/n leaned against lando and whispered, "did you sleep well?"
lando sucked in a deep breath, "yeah, i was out like a light. how long was i asleep?"
"a couple of hours,"
"why didn't you wake me up? i could've helped around somewhere,"
y/n hummed, "but you needed the sleep, so it's okay,"
lando kissed the top of her head, "thank you,"
y/n moved away from him, grabbing his hand and said, "come on, you have to get ready. we have the puja in a few minutes,"
for the first time then lando looked at what y/n was wearing. in a brand new navy blue kurta with white pattern around the neck, white wide legged pants, and a dupatta, y/n looked radiant.
"you look so beautiful," lando murmured as he wrapped his arms around her waist, still walking.
"thank you, jaan. now, come on, let go, we have to get you ready,"
"yes, let's go," lando said, as he picked up y/n from where he was holding her around her waist, making her let out a shrieking laugh that seemed to grab the attention of the family.
the two disappeared in the room, lando's foot closing the door, and y/n's voice ringing out at the last second, "take me to my closet, peasant!"
it was silent in the living room for a few seconds, the family reeling in the happiness in y/n's voice, before her grandfather spoke, "accha ladka hai. khush rakhega,"
a few minutes later, as the rest of the family were getting everything ready for the puja, y/n's room door opened, and the couple walked out. lando wore a matching coloured kurta, with white pants, and a dupatta wrapped around his neck.
he stood in front of y/n's mum, and spread out his arms, "good?"
she smiled, her ring finger collecting a little bit of her kajal from the corner of her eye, before pressing it to his temple, hiding it underneath his hair, "good,"
quickly, everyone sat down. lando sat with y/n and her cousins, who translated and explained everything that was happening in the puja, so that he didn't feel left out. he watched with great interest at every thing that was happening. he watched as at the end, everyone stood up, and y/n's mum presented the burning diya to everyone, pushing the flame towards them with her hand, and then pressing a tika on their foreheads.
y/n explained to him, that the flame the blessing of the gods and goddesses, so pushing the flame towards a person was pushing the blessings towards the person for a good, happy, successful life.
lando watched as y/n's mum made rounds, until she reached y/n and him. he watched as her mum pushed the flame towards the general direction of the two of them, instead of doing it separately, like she had done with the others.
he watched, transfixed, as her mum pressed a tika on y/n's forehead. when it was his turn, y/n gently instructed him to keep his right hand on his head, and lean down a little. lando followed the instruction, and watched as y/n's mum dipped her finger in a red powdery substance before bringing it on his forehead, where she pressed her finger. lando went cross-eyed trying to watch every second, before he closed his eyes as his vision went slightly blurry.
soon after the puja was over, the family sat together and ate. lando ate a bit of everything, drinking water every time something (everything) was spicy, as the family laughed. y/n kept her foot hooked to his the entire time, unable to look away from him.
the man had really travelled all the way in the middle of a triple header just to spend a festival with her. if that wasn't love, y/n didn't know what was.
after dinner, the cousins pulled lando out the door and to the terrace, with a bunch of firecrackers in their arms. they were all buzzing with excitement, and their excitement was contagious.
"lando, you've got a flight in the morning," y/n said an hour into the boys bursting firecrackers.
lando was currently distracted by the tall sparkles of the anar, watching it get higher and higher before it started falling. y/n and her cousins had shown lando all the different types of firecrackers there were, and the do's and don't's of it. he was mesmerised by the different shapes and colours, unable to look away.
"lando!" y/n called again, and lando startled, looking at his girlfriend.
"huh?"
her cousins laughed.
"you've got a flight in the morning, come on. you need to rest," y/n said, biting back her smile.
lando opened his mouth, closing it again as he stared at the firecracker and then back at his girlfriend, "but- the firecracker- five more minutes please!"
her cousins laughed again, and y/n smiled.
"lando norris, you have to be up early in the morning. come on!"
"please, five more minutes! i promise, i'll go to sleep as soon as i'm on the bed!" lando begged.
y/n agreed, because her boyfriend was cute, and seeing him excited about her culture always filled her chest with warmth. oh how much she loved him.
her light of life on the festival of lights.

i really loved writing this. this has two of my favourite ln x desi!reader scenes that ive ever written. the first one being when lando bends down to touch the elders' feet, and the second one when y/n's mom nazar utaros him with the kajal. they made ME feel loved somehow. anyways, i hope you enjoyed it! i tried to keep it short, but im clearly incapable of doing that! i've also got a link for my taglist, desi community and requests that you can find here! also, a huge thank you to @itsprashimusic for getting my creative juices flowing!
EDIT: I VERY MUCH INSPIRED (COPIED) Y/N’S DIWALI OUTFIT FROM MY DIWALI OUTFIT

Imagine if Jon's grandmother was a super devout Hindu so he grew up celebrating Diwali and learning the whole story behind it and he tells it to Martin one day, just like offhand, cause he was raised Hindu but he's not especially religious but one day he comes home on Diwali to see the house COVERED in (electric) candles (they don't trust themselves with open fire) and Martin's like, "the idea of lighting the path home to our loved ones, drawing them out of the dark, kinda reminded me of our story, us both being each others light" and they both cry, so much.
