Elfwine Chronicles (new LoTR stories, Detente, ch 1 posted, 3-8-23)
Eldarion was good at everything he attempted, except love. Ā (Drama, Angst, Romance, Family)
Ā Chapter 1 Ā - Ā (Feb, 22 IV)
Eldarion gazed on the scene before him with utter boredom. Ā In many ways, Elfwine was his closest friend, and he loved his sister dearly, but he could not help envy them the happiness they had found in each other. His eyes fell on his parents, noticing a look or a touch between them, that likely was unobserved by most in the room, but reminded him of their special bond with one another. Ā And, yet, looking around the room of powdered and primped noblewomen, most of whom seemed to be studiously trying to catch his eye, he could find nothing that appealed to him in the slightest.Ā 
They could be amusing if he was in mind for a little kissing in the moonlight, but even there he had to beware lest they assume too much interest on his part and begin to cling possessively. Ā Some of the men had made comments suggesting how lucky he was to be in a position to have any woman he wanted, but it was not so enviable a thing as they supposed. While he might indulge in a few pleasant kisses, he had no intention of bedding any of them and risking an irate father with a pregnant daughter in tow. Ā Even if such concerns could be ignored, it was more difficult for him to turn away from wanting what his parents had. Ā They had waited literally years to be together, never seeking solace in another. Ā Somehow he could not bring himself to wantonly indulge in women while awaiting a special someone to come along.
Taking another swallow of wine, he sighed. Ā Elfwine had made some good suggestions about finding such a woman for himself, but it seemed unlikely anything could come of it in the near future. Ā In the meantime, it was difficult to stay interested in engaging in pointless posturing at these gatherings. Ā Smile. Ā Bow. Be charming. Ā Flatter. Ā Insincerely woo, if he desired a kiss. Ā Then return to his cold room, alone and with empty arms. Ā No one to tease him, to touch him lovingly, to brush his hair back from his face, to cheer his victories and console his disappointments. Elfwine was a lucky man to have found that so young.
Lest this morose mood completely overwhelm him, he set down his goblet and pushed himself erect. Ā A lively dance might at least distract him momentarily.Ā 
Several dances later, he paused for another goblet of wine and to catch his breath. Ā His eyes wandered the room once more, and lit upon Dariel and Elfwine talking with Luthiel. Ā Elfwineā€™s cousin was indeed fair; there was no question of that. Perhaps because she was the Stewardā€™s daughter, he had always considered her somewhat off-limits to him, but Elfwineā€™s mention that she might make him a suitable match caused him to rethink that belief. Ā He very much doubted either his parents or hers would object to such a union, and she was well-schooled in court protocol, though privately more relaxed than most noblewomen. Ā Yes, perhaps he should get to know Luthiel betterā€¦see if he could tolerate her more than these other women.
With that thought in mind, he made his way across the hall, but before he reached them, Luthiel had accepted a dance with another gentleman. Ā Dariel moved away from her betrothed, and Eldarion came to stand by Elfwine. Ā His eyes followed Luthiel around the dance floor and he observed, ā€œYou are correct, my friend. Ā Your cousin is becoming quite an attractive woman, though yet a bit young. Ā Still, I will not hold that against her!ā€
Elfwine cast a sideways glance at him, then commented, ā€œShe is attractive, as well as beloved by both her brother and cousins. Ā Do not think you may treat her with your usual callous manner toward women, and not have usā€¦take offense.ā€
Eldarion was startled by the warning, though he supposed he should not have been. Ā Other brothers and cousins might not dare to challenge his behavior toward their female relatives, but it would not be so if he approached Luthiel. Ā With a reassuring grin, that did not accomplish its purpose, he answered, ā€œDo not worry! Ā I will be an utter gentleman!ā€
His companion gave a dubious snort. Ā ā€œI will believe that when I see it! Ā Still, Luthiel can take care of herself should you get out of line when none of us are around to deal with you.ā€ Ā He chuckled knowingly, and Eldarionā€™s eyes narrowed suspiciously, wondering what exactly Elfwine was not bothering to tell him.
Shrugging it off, convinced he would be successful in this venture as in everything else, he took another swallow of wine and then set it aside as Luthiel came to join them. Before she could even catch her breath, he smiled charmingly at her and requested, ā€œWill you dance the next with me, Luthiel?ā€
There was the slightest hesitation in her manner, which he did not understand, but she reached for the wine Elfwine was holding, took a few sips and then nodded her consent. Ā ā€œThank you, my lord.ā€
With a laugh, he told her, ā€œCall me Eldarion, Luthiel. Ā We are friends, are we not?ā€
She seemed unsure of his warm behavior and glanced at Elfwine questioningly, but her cousin merely shrugged and tried to look innocent. Ā She appeared no less suspicious of this sudden interest on the part of Gondorā€™s heir.

Midnights
Lavender Haze
Oh my god! Ā I love the beat of this song! Ā it seems like its going to be popular for mash-ups. Ā There are some pretty deep lyrics, which I had seen from reviews, but in this they seemed like small snippets of a cry for privacy -- about the line about wife and 1950s, which Iā€™m assuming is in response to the constant engagement rumours
Maroon
Okay, both Maroon and Lavender Haze had amazing beats and Iā€™m obsessed. They're both so powerful. Ā Seriously, we waited a number of years for Taylor to swear, and now we've got the F-word twice in the bridge! Ā Growth!
Anti-Hero
Okay, so I watched the music video before I listened to the album, and I only actually watched it, taking some notice of the lyrics, but only now focussing on them. Ā I had read that Anti-Hero was Taylorā€™s most critical song, and yeah, I see that, but it also seems like a cry for help. Ā This album really fits with my late night depression and self-critism. Ā Taylor, you may have written the best song for my depression.
Snow On The Beach (feat. Lana Del Ray)
Okay, so Iā€™ve never actually heard Lanaā€™s music, so I wasn't expecting this song to be anything. Ā Oh my god, the casually cursing is so soft that I now hate that I donā€™t swear. Ā This song is so soft and I just want to dance to it.
Youā€™re On Your Own, Kid
Seriously loving the beats on this album. Ā I actually donā€™t know what to say about this song, its just sooooo good. Ā I love it. Ā Ive been lonely as hell the past few months soĀ 
Midnight Rain
I absolutely love the production on this song. Ā I donā€™t even know what to write, Iā€™m just vibing.
Question...?
Okay, the opening verse is kinda similar to the Keep Driving (which is one of my favourite Harry Styles songs). Ā Seriously, the casual swearing is so elegant. Ā This chorus is kinda making me sad -- Iā€™m sad okay, my love-life is tragic, and I wish I could relate.
Vigilante Sh*t
She did not hold back on this song! Ā I can imagine this will be amazing performed live -- like a slower version of I Did Something Bad? Ā I saw someone say this is like no body, no crime 2.0 and that is seriously accurate, except not killing the guy. Ā This seriously sounds perfect for a Bond song.
Bejeweled
So we cheered up quite quickly! Ā Again, loving these beats! Ā Another one I imagine will be amazing on tour. Ā I love the vibes of this song. Ā Quite frankly, this song seems like the most cheerful on the album so far.
Labyrinth
This song is so comforting, it feels like the aftermath of Anti-Hero of trying to say its okay and it gets better, you just have to try. Ā I love this song so much. Ā I literally had a shiver along my spine at the firstĀ ā€˜I'm falling in love againā€™. Ā I love it so much. Ā 
Itā€™s 23:41 okay, I havenā€™t got that many words so I might just be sayingĀ ā€˜I love itā€™ but I currently only comprehend how amazing these songs are and I can't explain why, just that they are!
Karma
Okay, I was looking forward to Karma and its instantly exceeded my expectations!! Ā The cat line šŸ˜‚. Ā The vibes!!! Ā 
Sweet Nothing
Not gonna lie, I was really looking forward to this song purely because we know it was Taylor andĀ ā€˜William Boweryā€™ and they have a pretty good track record of song writing together šŸ˜‚. Ā Itā€™s so soft and beautiful! Ā They wrote a song that wasn't a sad breakup song that Iā€™m still gonna cry to. Ā I really wish I could relate to this
Mastermind
This is like the opposite of Anti-Hero šŸ˜‚. Ā Okay, no, we got to the sad bridge. Ā But seriously, it's so upbeat and vibey! Ā I love it!
The Great War
I don't even know what to write about this song, Iā€™m just vibing, but the lyrics are pretty sad. Ā It seems like a sequel to Dancing With Our Hands Tied, except less anxious and fearful, just reminiscing about the anxiety.
Bigger Than The Whole Sky
This song is sad. Ā I was expecting it to be cheery andĀ ā€˜I love you more than the whole skyā€™ but its sad in theĀ ā€˜I loved you more than the whole skyā€™. Ā Okay, but Iā€™m guessing this leads into Couldā€™ve Shouldā€™ve Wouldā€™ve, because it is repeated so beautifully over nd over towards the end...
Paris
Oh my god! Ā I was not expecting the start of this song at all! Ā This is a chaotic story but incredible vibes!!! Ā Oh my god this song is amazing!
High Infidelity
Okay this whole album has amazing vibes and sad stories or sad vibes and happy lyrics. Ā Im gonna make a guess and say that April 29th is gonna become another Swiftie day (added to the calendar alongside July 9).
Glitch
I DID NOT NEED CALLING OUT ON THE FIRST LINE! Ā Okay, but the vibes are incredible and I wanna dance along on tour.
Wouldā€™ve, Couldā€™ve, Shouldā€™ve
Okay, this is not what I was expecting after the teaser in Bigger Than The Sky...but itā€™s so much better! Ā Iā€™m so tired I seriously can't write anything other than saying I love this song so much.
Itā€™s 00:13! Ā I am seriously tired and my opinions are now seriously repeated.
Dear Reader
I love this opening! Ā This song seems like itā€™s advice to a stranger, like a note in a library book, as if giving advice to a younger sibling or cousin...or in the form of a song to millions of people.
Back to Lavender Haze
Okay, I seriously love this album. Ā Every song is incredible and there is not a single skip. Ā I will write more later, but I am tired and I need sleep before I head into London tomorrow - because why not?
Anyway, goodnight,
Bex

hello hi , it is g , ur friendly local neighbourhood hindu indian ( as in south asianĀ Ā ) ! so a few people requested that i just make a guide-esque sorta thing on hinduĀ  indian characters ! im not really good at guides , so instead , these are just little things iā€™ve noticed or picked up on that could really potentially strengthen the next indian character u ( pretty please ! ) pick up !Ā 
disclaimer : i am writing this from my perspective and it is NOT definitive , nor do i speak on behalf of all hindu indiansĀ  ! i am a 23-year-old bisexual cis female hindu indian , with one older gay brother, and a Train Wreck middle brother . my mother is from new delhi , and my father is from nairobi but has indian heritage ( not sure which part of india bc heā€™s an Engima ) . i have extended family in india and have visited india about 10-15 times throughout my entire life .
so firstly , im so glad u all are here and want to write more hindu indian characters ! please please do so !Ā  i hope this helps , encourages u , and isnt too confusingĀ !!Ā 
psa : i need everyone to know that this is a very basicĀ ā€˜ guideĀ ā€˜ and theres a lot it DOESNT touch on or address bc i didnt want to get too Extensive and Detailed and have people Turn off and not Read it . this is just written in the terms of hopefully helping buildĀ  character / be relevant to characters a bit better that ive employed into writing my OWN hindu indian character creations !Ā  but if u have any other questions pls reach out to me or any other indians in the rpc and im sure weā€™ll try our best to assist u !
FCS:Ā 
one thing iā€™d really like to say is that its great to see fcs like dev patelĀ  , deepika padukone and avan jogia picked up every now and then in rps , but thereā€™s actually a LOT of other indian fcs you could be and should be using ! the main reason people donā€™t seem to know them is because theyā€™re notĀ ā€˜ hollywoodĀ ā€˜ stars per se ( it was a super big deal when pr*yanka broke out of bollywood and into bollywood but we donā€™t talk about her on this Blog ) . theyā€™re usually bollywood stars and i donā€™t really see bollywood discussed that much in the rpc !Ā 
if youā€™re after MORE indian fcs , i have a tag of indian females here , and indian males here . the fcs on my blogs are also not ALL that exist . there are plenty of other blogs out there that post indian fcs , such as sonamhelpsĀ &Ā Ā bollymusings !!!Ā thereā€™s also some really great faceclaim directories out there that include a LOT of indians with resources !
Ā unfortunately , i do not know of any trans indians or nonbinary indians but that doesnā€™t mean they donā€™t exist . indian cultures and beliefs are still quite Old School and not super progressive . india only just had itā€™s first wlw mainstream bollywood film released last year . lgbtqia+ issues are NOT really spoken about in india or within indian families at ALL , and if they are - theyā€™re usually dismissed or reacted to Very Very Badly . ( again this isnt definitive and im sure and hopeful that some indians have had GREAT coming out stories and been accepted by their families but this has not been a common thing ive seen or witnessed from my cousins my age , indian friends , myself and my brother who are lgbtqia +Ā  )Ā 
FOOD :Ā 
we do eat with our hands and we eat like PROS with our hands . we can shovel it so easily and quickly . i donā€™t know how to describe it but you use the first three fingers of your hand to place the Food there , and then use your thumb to kinda scoop it off and into your mouth . this is NOT unhygienic because indians wash their hands very regularly and most of the time we arenā€™t actually touching our mouths to our hands !Ā 
indian food is MADE to be eaten with your hands for the most part . it is literally NOT practical to eat food with a knife and fork . hereā€™s a really great article explaining things more in depth re: indian food and using our hands !
cows are seen as Very holy beings in hindu indian culture , and for that reason - there isnā€™t a lot of beef being eaten or consumed. sure , some indians DO eat beef but i donā€™t think its super common, but in my personal experience as a non-beef-eater this results inĀ A LOT of me askingĀ ā€˜ oh ,Ā  sorry what sauce does that pasta come with ?Ā ā€˜Ā ā€˜ oh those areĀ beef sausages ? sorry i canā€™t eat themĀ ā€˜ etc etc . beef is in a LOT of things , and this makes me very very careful and almost pedantic about what i do eat and ask about , food wiseĀ Ā !
indian food is seen as stinky by a majority of white people . it has a very very strong smell as im sure u know , and opening ur lunch box as a little kid to a Curry or Dal ur mum has made u ? one way street to being bullied . i also remember a time a real estate agent continuously told my dad nobody was interested in buying our house bc it smelled too much like curry,Ā  despite my mum not having cooked curry in Weeks ( just say what u Really mean ,Ā  bitch ! )
Ā indian curry exists but so does dal / daal . this is curry-like dish that is usually made out of lentils . so if ur going to talk about indian food and u know curries and samosas . . pls also bring up dals . and sabji ! ( sabji is usually just boiled vegetables plopped together . a lot of potato usually )
desserts are what we call Indian SweetsĀ  . this is stuff that is usually very VERY sugary and a bit of an accustomed taste . theyre very colourful and LOOK beautiful but even i , for one , can not eat many indian sweets bc they are a Lot of Sweet and SugarĀ  Ā  . examples of indian sweets that u can googleĀ  : gulab jamun , burfi , rasgulla , jalebi etc . hereā€™s a great link for more !
give me spiced food or give me death . literally . . put some cumin in . . put some garam masala . . put some chillies . . flavour ur Food for my Indian Taste BudsĀ 
FAMILY :Ā 
if you are the oldest son of an Indian Family . . congratulations . you are now the Head of the family and must carry every weight and burden alone . it is extremely isolating and taxing on you ( my dad is the oldest indian son , and also - so is my eldest brother , obvs ) . there is a LOT that is expected of you to do . you are expected to quite literally run the family and be theĀ ā€˜ man of the houseĀ ā€˜ by yourself .Ā 
if you are a daughter . . . even BIGGER congratulations ! you are basically a maid to every male or guest who EVER comes over to your house . you must be a Hostess , you must be in the kitchen cooking , serving snacks, bringing tea , and then washing up and basically waiting on Hand and Foot . you will not be included into a lot of dialogue or engaged in a lot of conversation and TRUST ME ! THAT WILL GRIND UR GOD DAMN GEARS IN THE 21ST CENTURY !Ā 
if you are a boysā€™ boy ( aka straight and Sporty ) , then congrats ! you get it the easiest : you are the favourite of every social event . the uncles and cousins love talking to you and dude-ing it up with you , and the aunts fawn over you and think youā€™re the Best Thing since sliced bread . sit back , put your feet up , and expect to be treated like a God. you can do absolutely no wrong . ( my middle brother is this to a T and listen . . heā€™s been in and out of jail for physical violence and ab*se for over 5 years . and family still FROTH over him . my teeth are gritted to dust thinking of this again )Ā 
indian aunties are lethal . they gossip like teenage girls . they will find out everything . they will bitch behind your back . they can NOT be trusted .
everyone is ur uncle or aunt, sister or brother . literally everyone . ur cousin ? no. thats ur sister . ur dads friend ? no , thats ur uncle . you will call them as such . EVERYONE is family .Ā Ā 
family is in general a VERY BIG THING in indian culture , too .Ā ā€˜ what will it Look like to everyone else if we donā€™t all arrive together ?Ā ā€˜ my dad usually asks dskjdfjn . itā€™s all about Looking Right and Standing As A United FrontĀ  . that being said , indian family has undying and unwavering loyalty for one another , they just show it in a very Weird way .
FASHION:Ā 
female hindu indian formalĀ  clothes are usually really embroidered to hell and back and this makes them very scratchy , uncomfortable, and HEAVY . you arenā€™t running anywhere anytime soon in a full blown lehenga or sareeĀ 
mostĀ ā€˜ modernĀ ā€˜ hindu indian women do not wear full Indian Clothes all the time . some do , but usually itā€™s a lot of wearing a kurti tunic with jeans , or just normal everyday clothing . again , this is going to be different based on which parts of india your character is from , though !Ā 
usually , older women and married womenĀ  wear traditiona hindul indian clothing quite often . i know my mum wore a sari AT HOME everyday when i was growing up, until i was like 13 and took her shopping with me to get something Else to wear .Ā 
bindiā€™s just stick right onto ur forehead but they do fall off a lot , especially when ur wearing makeup or sweating . again , you donā€™t need to wear a bindi everyday , unless thats ur preference . i usually only wear them for festivals . ( festivals means indian celebrations , not like . . coachellaĀ  ((which u should not be wearing a bindi to , if ur not indian fyi )) )
male formal clothes are usually just literally anything Formal and buttoned up for the most part , and u can get away with that , or you can wear a really nice kurta
indians wear white at funerals , not blackĀ  ( not sure if this should go in the fashion section but this entire thing is being organised into a Mess by now anyways )Ā . you CAN wear black to a funeral of course , but its common to wear white !
DATING ( twā€™s for islamaphobia ):Ā 
modern day indian / desi fuck boys exist and my god they are Something Else . hasan minhaj did a really good piece about this and explaining them to a T ( starts at 1:43 )
( THIS IS THE POINT THAT WILL MENTION ISLAMAPHOBIA AND HOMOPHOBIA ! ) basically according to OlderĀ  indians , ,Ā  ur dating optionsĀ  in 2020 go like thisĀ ( if ur a cis female like me ) : hindu indian men are god tier , white men are Not Okay But I Guess So Bc We Have To Accept Theyā€™re Everywhere , females / being lgbtqia+ is not Taken Seriously , and muslims are literally not even close to being an option or AcceptedĀ  . again this isnā€™t definitive but based on a lot ofĀ  indian media iā€™ve consumed and seen how they portray muslims in general as well as Dating Options , as well as talking to other indiansĀ  , both who are older / traditional and hold these ideals , whereas Younger gens generally do NOT hold these idealsĀ  / actively are Against these backwards ideals.Ā Ā  i remember when i was in year 6 and had my first boyfriend . . he was a muslim and my dad FLIPPED the FUCK outĀ  . itā€™s not even that i was dating someone / young / his only daughter . . it was mainly because i was dating a muslim . again , this is a very OLD SCHOOL and traditional way of thinking and it is NOT CORRECT .Ā  pls donā€™t take this as a note to be islamaphobic if u write an indian character bc . . thats literally the opposite of what im trying to tell u here .Ā 
yeah arranged marriages are definitely still a thing for us , even now in 2020
YES if u are an unmarried / single indian ( ESPECIALLY if ur a woman ) about to enter ur 30s . . ur in DANGER and u are the black sheep and theres probably something Wrong With You bc why are u still single ?
TRADITIONS / BELIEFS / SUPERSTITIONS :
idk if its just me and my family but we are SUPER superstitious . if you say anything likeĀ ā€˜ he hasnt gotten sick in years !ā€™ immediately , everyone knocks on wood or their head . if you were planning on leaving the house and sneeze ? thats bad luck , stand and wait for five minutes then u can leave . we have a strong belief in drishti , orĀ  alternatively : The Evil EyeĀ  , and making sure we donā€™t invite it into our lives . a lot of our prayers are about warding drishti away .
the evil eye is kinda Complicated but basically its an ill-wishing upon an unsuspecting person . if somebody is jealous of you or angered by you , they may wish upon you or cast upon you the Evil eye ( or even just glare at u whilst ur not looking and thats Big Bad ) .Ā 
a lot of older indians , like older people in general i guess , are not super progressive or Open . this isnt ALWAYS the case but older indians can be very very stubborn in their beliefs in what is Right and Wrong , Normal and Not NormalĀ 
theres a LOT of hindu indian festivals and events ! tbh too many for me to even keep up with . but without fail at least once a year ill say to ONE of my friendsĀ ā€˜ oh sorry i cant make it . i have an indian Thing on that dayĀ ā€˜ and its usually about a festival , so pls be aware that there are a LOT of indian festivals and if ur writing an indian character , its perfectly understandable and Relatable for them to say they canā€™t make it to a party or hang out with their friends that night , for that very reason !
the main / most popular ( ? ) festivitiesĀ  that i personally do celebrate every year without fail are :Ā 
diwali ( the festival of lights , celebrating goddess lakshmi roaming the earth . in my household this is usually turning on literally every single light and lighting candles and fireworks / sparklers and saying some prayers , and eating a formal dinner all together !Ā  )Ā Ā 
holi ( the festival of colours . celebrating victory and love . again personally for me , this was usually celebrated at the temple with all of us Kids running around throwing paint on each other ! )Ā 
rakhi / raksha bandhan ( a day of sisters celebrating their brothers . you tie a rakhi which is usually a bracelet / holy string around your brothers wrist , feed them some food , pray for their wellbeing and in return they gift you something . in my case, i usually get money from them ) .
navratriĀ  / durga puja (Ā 9 nights and 10 days of celebrations but tbh u donā€™t have to do all the days . or i mean . . i donā€™t . i fast one day from morning to night and then i slide on over to boogie and dance dandiya which is literally the MOST FUN dance ever bc its based off some Historical Fight and u go faster and faster and keep going until ur absolutely SPENT bc u dont wanna lose ur place in the circle )Ā Ā 
there are SO MANY HINDU INDIAN GODS too . and so many prayers to all of them and to just general Life Wellness . chances are that ur character will know at least ONE aarti / gazal / prayer off by heart and have sung it at least 30 times in a monotone voice . the ones i know off by heart bc ive had to sing them 3000 times ? om jai jagdish hare , & the gayatri mantraĀ 
GENERAL LIL THINGS I DIDNā€™T KNOW HOW TO CATEGORISE ( twā€™s for skin whitening , colorism and classism ) :
( THIS IS THE POINT THAT NEEDS A TW FOR SKIN WHITENING AND COLORISMĀ  ) lets hold indians accountable right now : we advertise SKIN LIGHTENING CREAM Ā . i think they finally stopped that earlier this year / due to BLM ( iā€™m not entirely sure / could be wrong ) , but thats literally how bad it is , that we would openly advertise and encourage people to literally bleach their skin rather than look darker .Ā 
( THIS IS THE POINT THAT NEEDS A TW FOR COLORISM AND CLASSISM ) colorism is a BIG thing in india and usually linked to class . generally speaking , the people who are Darker Skinned are usually people who work outside / labourers or homeless even , and are therefore seen as lower class / bottom class . the lighter skin you have , the more privileged and advantaged you are bc ur seen as working a Good job out of the sun and having a home . itā€™s incredibly classist as well as just generally Fucked Up . why am i telling u this ? mainly so u understand the importance of using a dark skinned indian fc vs a light skinned indian fc which i know is hard , bc a lot of darker skinned indians arent in hollywood / have resources , but its still something to Think About .Ā Ā 
i have a long Ethnic name . literally my first name is 10+ letters , which i know doesnt seem that long Necessarily but its also a Super Ethnic name with eā€™s and and j and n . it Flows and Sounds very clearly different from a christian name . it is VERY important to me that my name be said Correctly because iā€™ve spent so much time having it said incorrectly or Westernised . i also know a lot of indians my age who ( like me ) have had to dramatically shorten their REAL first name ( which is usually also pretty long . not always , but it is Common ) , to fit their name into white peopleā€™s mouths better . please put some thought into ur indian characters name !
not all indians speak hindi ! hindi is one of MANY dialects within india . there is also tamil , urdu Ā , bengali , punjabi , telugu and SO many more , so pls research which part of india ur character / their family Ā is from bc hindi wonā€™t always be the default language for them !
not every indian is hindu ! of course ur character doesnt have to be religious at all , bc if im being honest IM barely religious but my FAMILY is and this is smth u should think abt bc religion is a pretty big thing for indians . so even if ur character isnt hindu , they were probably raised with SOME religious beliefs . have a think about which religions they would have been brought up with ! thereā€™s a very large percentage of practicing muslims , sikhs and buddhists too ! and even christianity !
WRITING WISE / CREATING AN INDIAN CHARACTER WISE :
the first step should be to consume indian media ! listen to indian music . watch bollywood movies ! theres SO MANYĀ  out there on everyoneā€™s netflix . if u want some recs , let me know and i can try my best to find smth for u !Ā if u want smth thats Hollywood-indian . . . Hasan Minhaj is great to watch , especially his episodes on indian culture / politics , and Never Have I Ever on netflix was rlly good / relatable for me personally as an indian growing up in a western society !
i would really really love to see more indian rep in general , but iā€™d also like to discuss the Stereotypes that ive seen indians portrayed as in mainstream hollywood media :
indian women as soft spoken and subservient beings who are abused by their husbands and have no say in anythingĀ 
heterosexuality within indian relationships and indian datingĀ 
indian men as sleazyĀ 
indians in general not being seen as Sexy or Sexual beings with any sex drive at allĀ 
Stumbling , Stuttering , Nerdy awkward messes of men who donā€™t know how to interact with anybody they find sexually appealing
an indian character that everybody ( usually white ) finds Uncomfortable and Weird and is seen as usually the Butt of the joke .
Ā i think those mentioned above could be helpful in how to plan your next indian character and think about how to SUBVERT a trope theyre often portrayed as , or create an indian thats not stereotypical !
so what and who SHOULD you write ?Ā 
an indian character who is proudly and openly gay , or biĀ 
a trans or nonbinary indian ( PLEASE ! )Ā 
an indian character with really super accepting parents and familyĀ 
an aromantic indianĀ 
an indian who is focused on their career first and not their dating lifeĀ 
a fuckboy / fuckgirl ( honestly . . iā€™d love to see it )
a indian character who is a party animalĀ 
an outspoken indian female who takes no shit and is strong in every sense of the word
a confident , smooth talking indian businessman who is Sexy and Lusted After ( not in a gross christian grey way but just . iā€™d love to see indian characters seen as Sexy . not in a fetishy way , either , but just because itā€™d be a nice change in pace ! )
a character who IS traditional / religious but also very progressive and forward thinking in their beliefsĀ 
honestly just any character that isnt whats mentioned above

- why you chose your url: the first time i played the elder scrolls iv: oblivion i fell in love w ocheeva SO FAST and sheā€™s still my favourite. i donā€™t have an argonian kink but if i did it would be because of her. she's sweet and caring AND sheā€™s a skilled assassin?? get you a girl who can do both, damn

- favorite song: i thought we went over this
- top three fictional universes youā€™d like to live in: okay first of all animal crossing OBVIOUSLY. gotta marry tom nook. second... god. star trek because while i will absolutely shit-talk starfleet any day of the week the star trek universe is superior to any other because it has JANEWAY. and also space. and alien ladies. but mainly janeway. i would put so much effort into joining starfleet and being good at my job so i could maybe serve on the same ship as her and make quiet heart eyes if we crossed each other in the corridors. EDIT: lol i got so wrapped up in star trek i forgot about a third huh! obviously iā€™d want to live in dream valley with the little ponies. the original ponies. iā€™d hang out with wind whistler and tell her i love her all the time, especially when she uses words the other ponies donā€™t understand. autistic queen, love of my life, etc. bonus fourth: mass effect. space. biotics! possibly a buff asari girlfriend... or the krogan romance bioware continues to deny me
TAGGING: jesus. okay you know what. iā€™m picking five people who show up in my notes fairly regularly because we should be friends. so: @filantestar @sidhe-solais @briars-glenn @sarahstreep7 @roddaprime ā™”

toffee!
hehe glad i could make you laugh, oooh that sounds awesome! yeah id love to be tagged it sounds great :)
YES the differences are so fucking weird. like, they do know they're the same age right? i feel like its just an exagguration of how much the persons role in the group matters, like we see chan being held up as such a mature, old leader while jungkook who is literally the same age, is still babied etc. like enha hyung line is basically the same age (if a bit younger) as chenle and jisung but somehow the rules are different?? as you point out, still legal but still bizarre. hehe yeah, i mean where else are we going to rant? quora lol. mmm, hopefully more people can just write less smut abt people who are barely adults
ah, no prob it didnt take long. yeah i think thats right (i keep forgetting you know my url lol) mmhmm :( i think if that happened irl there would be some major trauma going on. knock wood it never happens to you or me lol (/hj)
hehe same! oooh glad Redemption For Cheese was realised! yess we cant rllycomplain that theyve written/produced too much good music lol. yeah, ive dragged him into being a stay so *dusts hands off* mission accomplished. mmm yeah, they tend to have a certain vibe but tbh it couldve worked if they were any other group but ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ ahh ur one step ahead of me on the stages of listening to ssick i think, still not convinced but thats okay! hehe, it had to be said. yesss the itch in the back of my brain is very satisfied by sorry i love you, felixs vocals deserve to be appreciated! (side note i feel like hes trying to sing more like his speaking voice, sorta husky, but tbh i wouldnt be mad if he sang like in glow, his sweet honey vocals made my life lol. but i think ive heard him say he doesnt like singing like that cos it makes his normal voice less husky, so what can you do)
> YES SOMEONE SAID IT. seungmin rap KING, he sped thru that rap like it was nothing, he deserves more rap lines. i do like how they gave minho some melodic rap lines this comeback, my guy deserved to show off those skills that made him not be eliminated (flashbacks to stay collectively wanting to murder jyp) and we already know changbin can sing, my man murdered masked singer. hyunjin can obviously sing as can jisung and felix, and i want to hear chan rap more! i feel like he started as part of 3racha (as a rap unit not producing) and then just became a vocalist (which im fine with, but it could be nice to hear him flex his rapping skills) and was partially replaced by hyunjin. anywayyy
back to album talk. lmaooo sad music to twerk to PERFECTLY describes silent cry. yes secret secret is and will always be, a masterpiece. hehe glad i could make you laugh :) i just felt like they have similar vibes. putting off skz stuff bc of not having time to cry IS the kpop stan life summarised. oh my beloved track, red lights. ahh thats okay, we can have different opinions, but by god the lyrics are *chefs kiss*. *banging on table* TWISTED AU TWISTED AU TWISTED AU. yess id love to see ur take on it! sdfghjkl it would have been glorious
no no! not stupid, just able to predict my brainwaves. ooooh thats so cool! makes me want to go there (wherever there is lol) yeah the waves are pretty good here, but none of my familys a surfer, so we dont rlly enjoy the full potential lol. YES moving on to gone away, it is indeed a heartwrenching track, but the vocals and the bloody key change? makes me want to brave being sad just to listen to it. mmm yeah, good point :( i feel like ive just gotten used to overthinking so much so that it doesnt matter what mood im in, ill do it anyway, so might as well just do what i feel like doing anyway.
yeah i think ur right! it is quite comforting knowing that all the tracks will get the love they deserve. i feel like also people assume kpop is just one genre which is utter bs. there are so many different vibes and feels and songs, i couldnt get into kpop (of which i thought only the bright cheerful present day bts stuff existed smh) until i heard gods menu so... idk where i was going with this but yeah. :)
YES FUCK YG, theyre literally on the brink of being kicked out of the big three and they are holding their salvation hostage without letting them do ANYTHING. idek what thought process goes thru their minds but arghhh its so infuriating. yess lisa's cb will be awesome but ot4 is the gold standard here.
hehe, glad u could get to this point. no no! u dont sound like a cult member at all lol yeah, i loooove some of their songs but the whole 23 members thing is getting to me. thats prob a common problem with nctzens but what can i say? im a simple girl with a limit to how many korean boys i can give my money to. atm im just trying to get into ateez and finish memorising enhypen's faces. also kard is kinda sucking me into their fandom atm, as well as eric name lol. ah what can you do? ooh thats good!
hehe i love it too! its exactly like online penpals, that was rlly well put. aww ty! hmm im okay, recovering from a bad case of rsv so thats fun. im doing okay mentally, starting therapy soon (after having to convince my mother that its not just smth i can brush off). physically i wont go into, basically i should be doing stretches to help but they dont completely fix it so my lazy ass doesnt do them, plus i got told recently im going to be stuck with this condition for the rest of my life so thats fun! ah, before you type smth dw abt me ill be fine. the weather atm is cloudy but warm, its been raining on and off today which is good for the garden. uhh i just finished reading sunburnt veils and im in the middle of prom theory which is rlly good. ummm ive got a concert tonight? that i may or may not be able to sing in (bc of the whole rsv thingo) and uhhhh idk. my dog is cute? im drinking tea rn? ive got a school dance coming up?
wbu? hows ur day going, how are you? whats the weather like on ur end? done anything interesting lately? found smth that makes you rlly happy? just any random thing youve been dying to tell someone?
no no! dont apologise, i love these exchanges. i think im happy to continue them for a long time :) on the other hand, if you get tired of them, feel free to just not answer at any time. goodness gracious this was a long ask haha hope it isnt too annoying
<3 w.a. šŸŗ
sorry it took me a bit to reply, i was fixing my theme ;n;
yeah, i figured it was because of the roles too. my friends and i still get taken aback when 3rd gen idols are the same age as 4th gen ones. in my head it doesn't add up sometimes. PLS THE RANT AT QUORA SKJDK tbh tho it's just going to be normalized as the years pass? esp that the boys are growing older and the amount of explicit fics will just increase. i might have to start blocking tags.
i had to look up the previous ask to remember what we were talking about xd i hope the events in champagne problems never happens to anyone. realistically, it probably happens a lot. damn i really won't wish that pain on anyone. dragging your brother into being a stay i whEEZED JFKSA additional noeasy music enthusiast o.o and ALL I CAN SAY WITH YOU GUSHING ABT FELIX IS AHA WHIPPEEEED OML can't blame you tho, i also want to hear felix sing more in other shades (if that makes sense HAHA) i really hope they'll do the role exchange in the next comeback :( or like in the near future bc i know they can do it :( the day i hear seungmin rapping it i will respectfully pass away. minho was given more lines this comeback thank fUCK i could rmb my irl being vocal abt her frustration. i don't get why minho barely has center time/lines in title tracks??? like the line distribution in the past eras just made me ???? if seventeen can balance lines with 13 members why cant a group of 8 do the same? moving on. i haven't watched the stray kids show simply bc i don't want to cry HAJS but i've seen clips. imagine if skz debuted without minho and felix?!?!? i rmb another irl catching bias feels towards changbin bc of the masked singer only to find out that the man's a rapper. i love how skz's vocals were highlighted this comeback :c there were a lot of mellow tracks! i find it cute when chan sings/raps bc it gets kinda obvious that he's a foreigner? the accent (im not even sure if it's the accent) it just shows. "putting off skz stuff bc of not having time to cry IS the kpop stan life summarised." CORRECT.
abt the twisted au o.O i'll inquire my irl if she wants to write it or not. if she doesn't want to, i'll do it. i miss writing twisted aus <3___<3 and i also miss going to the beach with my friends :' ) but it's starting to get cold here and i don't think i'll be able to enjoy the beach as much as i would if i went beaching in the summer. so maybe next summer? gone away really has an sm-ballad vibe. the thing about skz being a self-producing group, their songs don't sound like typical jype songs? and i just appreciate that bc in all honesty im not a fan of jyp groups at all. PLS the overthinking. i wish i could mute overthinking.
anyone who assumes kpop is just one genre obv hasn't listened to a single track. if kpop was just one genre why do i like some tracks more than the others??? oh you've only recently become a kpop stan? tbh im not a fan of the bright songs of bts either. i liked their older ones *chefs kiss* really matched high school vibes. yg has good artists and they're just wasting the talent ~.~ that strategy they have will get tiring eventually. people will stop waiting on blackpink and move on to newer more active groups ://
HAHAHAH yeah the 23 members is pretty overwhelming! it was the reason i didn't bother stanning before quarantine started. i don't regret stanning tho, met my ult bias in that group <3___<3 i don't really purchase albums unless i like the tracks xd ohhh getting into ateez just in time for the comeback! let me know what you think about them! i was fond of them at some point but grew out of it. good luck with memorizing enhypen! it took me a while to distinguish to people there XD i haven't checked out kard yet but chan plays their songs during lives and they're sexc hype music me likey *u*
i had to look up rsv im sorry. i'm glad you're recovering! please rest more and don't stress yourself out. bro i wish i could go to therapy too bc i have weird issues i can't justify and i need a professional to tell me what's the reason behind it. stuck with what condition btw? what happened? i'm sorry in case i just forgot. yesterday was a bit rainy for me too :(( it's not the type of rainy that makes me anxious so B) oh concert! good luck and i hope you'll be able to sing but i also don't think it's best for you rn :c what's your dog's breed? and yes i just finished drinking tea too. AAAAA i miss school dances :(( the last one i was supposed to have was cancelled bc of covid.
i was less productive today and i'm teetering between being mentally stable and becoming a hermit again. i'm anxious with a lot of things atm so like : D not the best state. today it was a bit sunny but not hot hot which was nice. i changed my theme today bc i couldn't wait for sept. 1st. and no i haven't found anything that makes me happy HAHAHA shit like that's hard to identify. don't have anything to say too, i'm just thinking about why i'm procrastinating too much atm T_T and i'm listening to this rap song atm and one of the rappers sounded like han.
it isn't annoying! i enjoy the long exchanges but i do admit it takes me awhile to type down a reply. so if i get more busy, it'll prolly take a bit longer for me to reply.

I get your thing about your passion for art dying out because of insufficient feedback, if I had a nickel for every time Iā€™ve lost my love for painting Iā€™d have four nickels, which isnā€™t a lot but itā€™s weird that it happened four times. Seriously though, I feel like in my experience it has been an idea that Iā€™ve gotten only from publicising my art. At some point when you put yourself out there, you begin to expect something in return for your hard work and vulnerability, but a lot of the time you get nothing, which makes you believe your artwork is not worth anything. This is obviously not true because any creation is worthy of praise and support because it was MADE, but the thoughts are still swimming around. When you set those social expectations on yourself to succeed, you lose the point of why you ever started in the first place. You are literally 23 years old. Very few artists ever get recognition in their early twenties, and if they do itā€™s because of luck. Even if this art thing doesnā€™t work out for you, youā€™ll be okay. You have so much time to learn and grow and understand new things, and there are so many different ways to make yourself better as you go along. I think you need to keep drawing, even if you donā€™t want to. You need to find why it was you loved it in the first place and go back to doing THAT, even if it means making art that you canā€™t post or show to others - it needs to be for you. And if you canā€™t get back into it, take a step back and try again. Or try something new. Or eat something and try again. Itā€™s clear through your art that you love doing it, and Iā€™m sorry that love has seemed to dwindle, but I promise youā€™ll be okay, and you arenā€™t going to disappoint anyone if you decide to quit. You arenā€™t worthless without your art.
i mean that's the thing though, i don't really know if i even like art. i haven't enjoyed doing it since i was like, 14. it's not something that happened recently, i've been disillusioned with it for a long time. i Have been doing art even when i don't want to, for a Very long time actually. almost a decade. i know my art isn't worthless, that's not really the problem. my problem is how the landscape surrounding creators has changed over the years. i was around on tumblr back when the like to reblog ratio was actually even and people reblogged art, commented on it, and yknow, appreciated it?? art takes hours, days, weeks to create and only seconds to consume. and because social media makes it so easy to consume constantly, i feel like people just don't think about the work that's put into it anymore, a lot of non-creators kind of just take fanart of their favorite characters for granted, and artists are always looked down upon for pointing it out but people don't feel the need to support us anymore and its ruining a lot of us. reblogging our commission posts takes seconds but a lot of people just don't do it.
i feel like you're kind of misunderstanding my situation a little, because i've Had support on my art before, i used to be a popular fanartist and my art could get as much as 5000 notes. people reblogged it, commented on it, said nice things in the tags, were even intimidated by me. the wildest thing that would happen actually semi frequently was that people would actually be excited when i followed them and would screenshot it and stuff. like i Had support on my art, i know what it feels like to have it, i just lost it because people forget about you once you're not pumping out artwork that caters to their specific interests anymore.
i'm very aware that the quality of your work doesn't impact how popular you are bc back when i was popular, my art was obviously worse than it is now, and even Farther back, when i was a wee lad, i was a popular total drama island fanartist as well (dont @ little me for being cringe) and obviously at 12 years old my art was TERRIBLE but i was popular back then too, because i got lucky. that's something i always want to tell new artists, working hard and improving your art isn't necessarily going to make people like it and support you, it's about luck, and even if you Do get lucky, you can lose it just as quickly, just like i did.
i know you're trying to be nice and supportive and for the most part i appreciate it but the "you're literally 23 years old" part did kind of hit a nerve with me lol, cause it feels like i'm being talked down to. i know that's not what you intended but i figured i'd be honest about it. i also wanna make sure you're understanding my situation on the matter of my commissions as well, i'm not like trying to do art for a living or anything, ive never intended to because that sounds like a nightmare. so i'm not like waiting to be discovered or something. it's just right now it's my only source of income because my life is a nightmare, and for the last couple years most of what i've been doing is commissions, people have still been buying from me even while i've been doing hardly any fanart or personal work anymore. i was just venting bc doing commissions actually Gave me a reason to keep drawing, and of course having money to buy goods and servicesā„¢ļø is a pretty big deal to me too. i'm just very frustrated because i have to beg people to do the bare minimum to try to help me and almost nobody does. ive lost all those fans who actually cared about me yknow. i'm just sad about it. it's easy to feel really small and like nobody in the world cares about me. i know a lot of people feel that way in the world but it shouldn't be a normal feeling. it's not something people deserve to feel. it's just like, even if people don't reblog my art anymore, buy it anymore, whatever. i don't care anymore. it's just hard to see people ignoring the only important post i reblog. call me entitled, i don't mind. but i'm gonna be honest. it makes me upset. it makes me feel mad sometimes even.

ii. history
elvin tupeloĀ ā€œelvieā€ croftĀ was born in salem, massachusetts ( yes, really ) on halloween day ( yes, really ). an only child, his father is the district attorney for essex county, massachusetts while his mother owns a store in town that sells witchcraft supplies such as crystals, herbs, grimiores, etc. fun fact: sheā€™s the descendant of an accused witch, meaning that elvie is as well.
as it turns out, beneath of the surface of the few tourist attractions that it has to offer, salem has a small town, stuck in the past vibe. itā€™s the sort of place where everyone knows everyone all their lives because no one ever leaves and no one ever moves in. he grew up in this...eccentric...environment, living in the same house all his life and only ever leaving to visit his grandparents in boston.Ā 
he was five years old when he saw his first horror movie ( an apathetic teenage babysitter let him stay up long past his bedtime to watch nightmare on elm street ) and from that moment on he was HOOKED.
when he started school, two things about him became apparent: 1) he was highly intelligent and 2) he struggled greatly with tasks such as sitting still and staying focused. he was tested, and it turns out that he has a through the roof genius level iq and he also has adhd, which he was put on a few different medications for until something finally seemed to work for him.
he could have been one of those child prodigies who finished high school at the age of ten and then college at the age of fourteen, BUT his parents decided that they didnā€™t want him to miss out on the experience of going through school with people his own age.
as the smartest kid in class with glasses and braces and an insatiable obsession with all things horror and halloween, heā€¦was picked on. mercilessly.
so, he didnā€™t really have any friends...............................at all.................................but he didnā€™t mind. he was perfectly content to go right home after school and spend the rest of the day reading comic books or watching horror movies or researching local urban legends and paranormal stories.
he started his youtube channel when he was a teenager and it wasā€¦trash honestly. it was basically buzzfeed unsolved if buzzfeed unsolved consisted of one ( 1 ) dorky teenager yelling at the air in the middle of abandoned house at 3am, but it turned out that people found it entertaining. his first few videos were flops, but he would soon start amassing subscribers in the hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands.
so, when he got to his senior year of high school, he was a shoe - in to be named class valedictorian ( he was ) and he was even getting ivy league offers. at the same time, his youtube channel was starting to gain momentum. his parents mainly his father were really pushing him to attend college and elvie, genius level iq and allā€¦didnā€™t want to go. he wanted to focus on his youtube channel, but his dad was absolutely not having it.
he attended harvard for both his pre law and law school studies, breezed through classes, graduated with honors at the top of his class and once he passed the bar exam there were countless job offers waiting for him. elvie ignored them all and moved to los angeles so that he could finally focus on his youtube channel.
itā€™s been almost two years since he moved and he likes it in california!
iii. extras
his name is elvin but basically no one ever calls him that. his own parents donā€™t even particularly like the name. long story. most people call him elvie and some who are super close to him just call him el.
while he is the ā€œryanā€ aka the believer of his youtube series, heā€™s definitely NOT a scaredy cat like ryan the poor guy. in fact, all his life thereā€™s been this running joke that HE DOESNā€™T SEEM TO BE SCARED OF ANYTHING, and who knows? maybe he isnā€™t.
has the most cartoonishly exaggerated boston accent that one could ever hope to hear, except he doesnā€™t seem to realize it at all.Ā 
10/31 blaze it heā€™s a HUGE stoner.
heā€™s got jokes. stay vigilant.
heā€™s OBSESSED with all things horror, halloween, and 80s. he makes a lot of film references that are often so obscure that most people donā€™t even catch them.
he is legally permitted to practice law in the states of massachusetts and california, so basically: heā€™s a lawyer! however, this is not at all common knowledge because...
most people donā€™t know how smart he actually isĀ because he intentionally plays dumb and heā€™s really good at it. being high all the time and his natural chaotic energy is quite helpful in hiding his intelligence. he just doesnā€™t like to be seen as smart, so the whole once - brilliant law student thing? not common knowledge whatsoever. he tries not to mention the college he attended by name at all, but if he has to then he lies and says that he went to salem state.
and yes, he has SO MUCH chaotic energy. heā€™s the kind of person who will stick a fork in his microwave just to see what would happen out of sheer boredom. he has two pet mexican redknee tarantulas that probably arenā€™t even allowed on campus named freddy and jason who he justā€¦fucking loses track of every other day. his favorite drink is literally black coffee mixed together with a can of monster energy and 5 ( f i v e ) teaspoons of sugar. he is c h a o s. he has absolutely NO IMPULSE CONTROL whatsoever.Ā 
he has slight Daddy Issuesā„¢. slight. when he was born, his dad was hoping that he would get a star athlete kid who would go on to follow in his footsteps and one day become a successful, respectable lawyer but instead he gotā€¦elvie. heā€™s never outright said that heā€™s disappointed but he didnā€™t need to. elvieā€™s a really difficult person to rattle but every time, without fail, he ends a phone call with his dad and heā€™s in a bad mood for the rest of the day.Ā 
his car is this PIECE OF JUNK giant turquoise van that he painted to look like the mystery machine. her name is laurie strode.
even though he makes constant pop culture references about horror movies and the 80s, but outside of those areas heā€™s completely clueless about pop culture. like, he can recite the entire scripts of the shining and empire strikes back and ferris buellerā€™s day off word for word, but if someone tried to talk to him about the new post malone song or the latest marvel movie he would just stare blankly.
he has a HUGE sweet tooth. his favorite food is halloween candy and his favorite candy is black licorice disgusting i know.
he takes adderall for his adhd and heā€™s usually good about keeping up with it. started keeping them on his person in college because he realized that his meds were getting stolen and itā€™s a habit he's held onto that doesnā€™t really keep his shit from getting stolen.
.heā€™s good atā€¦A LOT of things because heā€™s a really fast learner. he can play the guitar, he can draw, he did drama in high school. he just has to watch someone do something once and then he can usually immediately do it himself. this skill doesnā€™t extend to physical activities such as sports, however. heā€™s terrible at those.
heā€™s basically a cartoon character

ii. history
elvin tupelo ā€œelvieā€ croft was born in salem, massachusetts ( yes, really ) on halloween day ( yes, really ). he's an only child and his father is the district attorney for essex county, massachusetts while his mother owns a small local business that sells witchcraft supplies such as crystals, herbs, grimoires, and more. interesting fact: sheā€™s the descendant of an accused witch, meaning that elvie is as well.
as it turns out, beneath of the surface of the few tourist attractions that it has to offer, salem has a small town, stuck in the past vibe. itā€™s the sort of place where everyone knows everyone all their lives because no one ever leaves and no one ever moves in. he grew up in thisā€¦eccentricā€¦environment, living in the same house all his life and only ever leaving to visit his grandparents in boston.
he was five years old when he saw his first horror movie ( an apathetic teenage babysitter let him stay up long past his bedtime to watch nightmare on elm street ) and from that moment on he was HOOKED.
when he started school, two things about him became apparent: 1) he was highly intelligent and 2) he struggled greatly with tasks such as sitting still and staying focused. he was tested ( a few times, much to his irritation ) and it turns out that he has a genius level iq and adhd.
he could have been one of those child prodigies who finished high school at the age of ten and then college at the age of fourteen, BUT his parents decided that they didnā€™t want him to miss out on the experience of going through school with peers his own age.
HOWEVER, as the smartest kid in class with glasses and braces and an insatiable obsession with all things horror and halloween, heā€¦was picked on. mercilessly. he never had many friends, but he was content to go right home after school and spend the rest of the day reading comic books or watching horror movies or researching local urban legends and paranormal stories.
so, when he got to his senior year of high school, he was a shoe - in to be named class valedictorian ( he was ) and he was even getting ivy league offers. of course, his parents mainly his father were really pushing him to attend college and elvie, genius level iq and allā€¦didnā€™t want to go. he had a van ( a turquoise monstrosity painted to look like the mystery machine ) and he just wanted to drive. alas, his dad was absolutely NOT having it.
he attended harvard for both his pre law and law school studies, breezed through classes, graduated with honors at the top of his class and once he passed the bar exam there were countless job offers waiting for him. elvie ignored them all and finally embarked on that road trip he had been meaning to take.
heā€™s been on the road for about a year now and heā€™s traveled all over the country. he often breezes into a town or a city, lives in his van, and takes up some odd jobs to squeeze a few dollars out of before he inevitably gets fired for messing up or not taking the work seriously or getting high on the job. he arrived in springfield a month ago, continuing his pattern or having fun and exploring somewhere heā€™s never been before.
iii. extras
his name is elvin but basically no one ever calls him that. his own parents donā€™t even particularly like the name. long story. most people call him elvie and some who are super close to him just call him el.
BIG RYAN BERGARA ENERGY. a huge believer in the paranormal and urban legends, and one of his favorite things to do when he goes somewhere new is check out the local cemeteries and haunted locales. unlike ryan, the poor guy heā€™s definitely NOT a scaredy cat in fact, all his life thereā€™s been this running joke that he doesnā€™t seem to be scared of anything, and who knows? maybe he isnā€™t.
has the most cartoonishly exaggerated boston accent that one could ever hope to hear, except he doesnā€™t seem to realize it at all.
10/31 blaze it heā€™s a HUGE stoner.
heā€™s got jokes. stay vigilant.
heā€™s OBSESSED with all things horror, halloween, and 80s. he makes a lot of film references that are often so obscure that most people donā€™t even catch them.
heā€™s a lawyer! at least in the state of massachusetts. however, this is not at all common knowledge becauseā€¦
most people donā€™t know how smart he actually is as he intentionally plays dumb and heā€™s really good at it. being high all the time and his natural chaotic energy is quite helpful in hiding his intelligence. he just doesnā€™t like to be seen as smart, so the whole once - brilliant law student thing? not common knowledge whatsoever. he tries not to mention the college he attended by name at all, but if he has to then he lies and says that he went to salem state.
and yes, he has SO MUCH chaotic energy. heā€™s the kind of person who will stick a fork in his microwave just to see what would happen out of sheer boredom. he has two pet mexican redknee tarantulas named freddy and jason who he justā€¦fucking loses track of every other day. his favorite drink is literally black coffee mixed together with a can of monster energy and 5 ( f i v e ) teaspoons of sugar. he is c h a o s. he has absolutely NO IMPULSE CONTROL whatsoever.

Confessions of Binxā€™s Medical Emergency
Friday night we went to bed and I woke to a horrific scene where vomit puddles everywhere and a very scared cat unable to pee despite continual non stop tries on lā€™y resulting in one foam puddle and lots of little droplets everywhere. My fur baby of 11 years was in
meidical crisis that was if left untreated more hours would be fatal.
Tumblr media
The first place was now in reflection all about greed to get as much of your money as possible without best interest of animals in mind. Before anything they drugged him up to relieve pain and my cat came back into me unresponsive and rag doll limp appearing dead I totally lost it as I held him and knowing I had to leave him to possibly never wake from anesthesia.
Tumblr media
So after overdose of medicine for profit and doing anesthesia when I later learned could of just sedated to place catheter, also tried to force me to fix him. He is 11 years old and I made a decision not to after lots of reasearch years ago. I hate how they can never respect that when I take him in for any vaccinations or care. The vet called me and for 15 min. I had to tell her no do not fix him while he is already under for the catheter. How cruel to ever consider doing such a thing when it is the same region he was already having critical problems with. Then the vet called again starting with ā€œ Binx is okay...ā€ only for her to then tell me he needs surgery and it would be $6000 for just that or I have to decide to kill him and had an hour to decide and call back. I went full on hysterical. How dare I have to be told kill an otherwise totally healthy animal because I donā€™t have that kind of money. I had already made sure with bloodwork his kidneys were healthy and it was solely the bladder only involved. As I applied for credit pet care and denied on all due to no credit history I called my parents to help me find a solution.
My mother then called and basically said we donā€™t have that and we will not put him down. We figured get through weekend having him stay at the hospital monitored and take him to his usual vet on Monday.... the vet then in a bitch remark mentioned another location I could try to call for a better price. So we called over and they gave me an estimate of $1300. Mind you I had already signed over $1800 to the first ER who has given me a hellish time to refund some of that since he did not stay in their care the full 24hrs i paid for.
The second place isnā€™t an ER but was open on a Sunday amazingly. I asked if they had any appointments and after telling the situation they squeezed me in at opening 8am and a surgery for later in the day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Got him that next morning. The poor baby was barely alert or moving. My cat I have had since there was still baby teeth in his skull was silent for the first time ever in his life and barely breathing or opening eyes. They did the surgery successfully. In there found the bladder full of stones and blood clots and it clear the bladder lining extreme thickening which means it was going on for a long time. They did confirm with X-ray that they got them all and now itā€™s all a wait and pray to recover.
He had a low temperature that was not raising and was not alert and responsive as they had expected. It was enough to have then put in for a transfer to the place they had a agreement with to watch pets who need monitored overnight during the hours the place is closed. So I had to go get my cat take him to another city and then return to get him before 9am the next day to take him back. Mind you I donā€™t drive so this only makes this all the more complicated. He was breathing so faint I only could tell from a hand on his body. His head tilted up in the back corner facing away the whole ride over to the night monitor location was deeply troubling. I told him he has to fight to recover and cannot give up and leave me alone. We arenā€™t quitters so donā€™t he dare we are survivors and he will get through this we have faced so much worse and wound up okay.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He finally was alert this morning when I got him. Stood up even in this box and was checked back into the place of surgery. He was much more aware but still blood in urine. Got to go before they closed up for the night to visit. Standing on my toes reaching to the back of these cages my arms barely able to reach let alone to avoid bowls of water and food to do so when the bottom of cage is at my eye level. He finally let out a meow when I first was there which he hadnā€™t made a sound since the day before on Friday when he had fallen asleep as always in my arms.
Tumblr media
My apt is eerily quiet to where silence is deafening and without him I canā€™t begin to fall asleep despite the fact I last slept was that Friday late evening. They will probably keep him until his catheter does not have blood in urine and remove it. Then monitor another day before sending him home with medication and a new diet to follow for the remainder of his life that will be more expensive of course. I inquired I am looking at three liquid medications and one pill to be administered once he is back home.
They have him on fluids so he is all swelled up from them but he is coming around slowly. His fiesty self is back and was told at the clinic he anytime out on the table waves the paw with the iv on at them to try to get them to take it out hah. I literally lost my female when she was just 23 days into her 10th year. So I held my breath this whole 10th year with him terrified and had only just relaxed a bit in January as he turned 11 to then be hit with this out of nowhere. He had no signs up until last week and then Saturday unable to urinate at all trying nonstop without success.
This has been emotionally exhausting and quite stressful. Not to mention Iā€™m now more broke then ever using the last of money from a small settlement that took over 5 years to obtain from being run over walking in a crosswalk at 16 the first night of summer prior to my senior high school year. Guess that brain damage was worth it to have ability to save him... hah.
He literally is the last piece of happy memories I have to countless friends I have buried in the past 6 years. He has given me a reason to stay alive and got through so much together. Truly this cat tried to even stop me from being robbed. He is my protector well he tries anyways. My date when I get ghosted. My wake up call. My chatterbox to always tell me what is on his mind and give me a piece of it. Demanding yet sometimes in my best interest like when I really need to go to bed and he demands we do so. My cuddle bug that took place of my childhood stuffed bear in my arms at night to sleep. My little fashionista strutting around in his little shirts he adores wearing. I cannot imagine losing him right now and not when it was not doomed to reoccurrence let alone fully healthy otherwise.
Tumblr media
If you pray please keep him in your prayers. He is not out of the woods and itā€™s going to be a long week. Pray I have the strength to keep going and hold my emotional basket case self together for him to give the best care possible. If you want to donate to help me out on covering this insane now close to $5000 and counting unforeseen costs my cash app is $AlyHollywood because like I said he will be on lots of medication at first for probably 10 weeks or so once back home in my arms. Which is going to truly be hard to cover. If you know a bit of my story from last year you are aware I had my own near death very costly medical crisis that has kept me from being allowed to work or school and even exercising up until last month when I got clearance from cardio and pulmonary; I still have a handful of doctors to clear me for full return to my so called life and plans. His condition finally being Unconcealable could not be worse timing for me honestly. Welcoming all positive vibes our way because gonna need it for Sertain.
He came into my life when I was trying to relearn how to do everything and have coping skills because my brain was no longer able to work how it did prior to the accident. He came when I was so alone and no one asked me to my senior formal dances and let me cry until he was fur soaked tears. He makes every day one that I get to smile and this apartment be full as if there was more then one human. Truly this main man of my house just happens to walk on all fours that left pawprints on my soul that is priceless enough to put all I had into his best interest of care. I love my Binx he deserves to live when he is still so much alive and has so much more love to extend
Anyways once I know more I shall update. Iā€™m praying šŸ™šŸ»
Update : 8am got a call he was not doing great still more blood then they would of expected in urine and was an unhappy kitty who would bat at the vet techs and not let anyone pet him. Not eating or drinking enough and probably going to need to stay a day or more longer in the Hospital then expected. He is very much attatched so I made the trip to go visit him this time I asked for a stool to stand on to not need to stand on my toes to reach him in the back of this high row of cages.
My visit apparently made a world of difference and he was more his old self even got some meows out of him! I was so happy to see him more himself and he even by the time I left after spending close to two or more hours visiting had less blood in his urine. See next post for more about my visit and a video clip too !

ii. history
alissa jazmyn armati was born and raised in new york cityā€™s upper east side. she never knew her mother and her father wasnā€™t around much due to his work, so she was raised by nannies and private tutors.
her father, dante armati, is the head of a small but quite successful and dangerous crime syndicate that has a bit of a monopoly over the local illegal dealings back in new york : everything from pumping designer drugs into the streets to chop shops filled with luxury car parts to a long list of people who owe a backlog of gambling debts is connected to her father and his people.
as his only child, dante was VEEEERY protective of her and spoiled her endlessly. he used material things to make up for the fact that he was never around, and for the most part it worked. if she wanted it, then she got it.
alissa attended private school in new york as a teenager. she was a popular student with good grades and even won the role of captain on the cheerleading squad in her junior year ( two years after making varsity as a freshman ).
she was eighteen years old when her father was arrested for racketeering. at first, she assumed that he would get out of it. after all, it wasnā€™t the first time that cops had shown up on their doorstep in the middle of the night to take her father away in handcuffs. she assumed it would be just like all the other times, that she would walk downstairs for breakfast the next morning and find him sitting at the kitchen table, calmly reading his newspaper as though nothing had happened the night before. instead, one of his most trusted men was waiting for her with a one - way train ticket.
sent away for her protection, alissa arrived in springhill seven years ago. some but not all of her fatherā€™s assets were frozen, so even from behind bars he continued his habit of spoiling her, buying her one of the nicest houses in town and a brand new car as apology presents.
she spent her first few years in town doing little else besides shopping and throwing huge parties at her house every weekend. it was after one of her trademark enormous parties that she got into some trouble : a dui, and at the age of twenty, no less.
she volunteered at a local cheerleading camp in order to complete her court - mandated community service and she turned out to be so genuinely good at it that she was offered a position as assistant cheerleading coach at springhill high school for the upcoming school year.
alissa was promoted to head cheerleading coach at the high school at the start of the ongoing school year and sheā€™s one of those teachers who all the students think is cool because sheā€™s young and dyes her hair different colors and lets them call her by her first name because ms. armati is my eighty - seven year old grandma.
PERSONALITY : every stereotypical mean girl from an early 2000s teen movie, but reformed...mostly. the spoiled brat in her still jumps out in her every now and then and she still canā€™t really handle being told no, but she is trying to be more considerate of others and their feelings. loves teaching people how to be more self - confident and assertive, and sheā€™s really good at it, however her guidance tends to toe the line between helpful and bossy. a total perfectionist who literally does not know what to do with herself if she isnā€™t in charge. far from the most nonjudgmental person to hang around, but perhaps one of the most generous and solicitous.Ā 
iii. extras
coaching has honestly improved her life and given her a purpose. when she first moved to springhill, she was still A HUGE BRAT who planned to do nothing but shop and party until her dad came to pick her up, but once she picked up those pom poms again her focus shifted entirely. she loves her job and honestly canā€™t picture herself going back to her old ways anymore.
she still thinks her dad is going to get out jail any day now ā€” or, at least, thatā€™s what she tells herself over and over again whenever she starts to lose faith which seven years later is basically all the time.
btw, the car that her dad bought her as an apology present is a purple ferrari 458. itā€™s her favorite car and the one that sheā€™s most often seen driving around town in, but she has at least two others.
in romantic relationships, alissa is very fickle and overall she can be kind of a nightmare. she constantly needs attention, she canā€™t handle being told no, and sheā€™s known for keying her exā€™s cars. anyone sheā€™s ever dated probably hates her now. yikes!
she has a piano and a painting room in her house, so she likes to get artsy in her spare time. she doesnā€™t really share her paintings, but if sheā€™s written a song that she really likes then she might perform it at the local open mic night. not super important but i hc that kehlani is her vc and musical content ok thanks.
loves giving people makeovers and even regularly offers her unsolicited fashion advice to total strangers.Ā 
iv. wanted connections
ā€œuncleā€ who is actually her bodyguard *wc on the main
best friend
cousins ( probably from new york but otherwise anything goes for this )
friends
makeovers
bad influence who tries to get her to party again
frenemies / enemies / ex friends
people she wronged when she was still in her mean girl phase ( both who have and havenā€™t forgiven her )
exes / flings / one night stands
( these are just a few base ideas, so please donā€™t feel limited by whatā€™s listed here! )

hi Taylor! this quite literally is a long shot but ill still give it a go. in the top two pictures you see three girls, if you go left to right through the picture you will see Rachel Fan, Amrutha Satti (me), and Shreya Rao. weā€™ve been bestfriends since sixth grade because of YOU! we made fanpages together and I think my most favorite fanpage was Queen Taylor Nation on Google +. my most recent one and currently active one is on and instagram, and its called swifttumblr (it got hacked at 99.9K so now weā€™re back on rebuilding it). anyways weā€™ve been in love with you for quite some time, and shreya, Rachel, and I actually came to the 1989 World Tour August 14, 2015, night 1 (when you brought out Fifth Harmony) . we met Andrea that night !!!! anyways cutting it to the chase, im seeing you night 1 and night 2 in Santa Clara. Night 1, im seeing it with my bestfriends mentioned before Shreya and Rachel. Our seats are FLOOR M, ROW 23, SEATS 28-30!!! For Night 2 im seeing you with Bhavika (the girl in the last picture to the left) . Bhavika never really listened much to your music until we became friends (and now bestfriends) in freshman year. shreya and Rachel moved to Pleasonton and I didnā€™t have any people to hang out with, so Bhavika started talking to me and we became bestfriend. Bhavika has never seen you in concert so I personally cannot wait to show her what the Taylor Swift concert is like and for her to experience what ive been experiencing for the longest time ever. for night 2, we are sitting at Floor K, row 38, SEATS 7-8. bhavika is a really short person so I hope she can see from the back or from the other side stages! I really, really, really hope that Rachel, Shreya, and I will be able to meet you for Night āœØ 1 are heres the reason why: In highschool we have these courses called the AP classes. The AP Classes lead into AP exams that we take at the end of the year, that directly leads to college credit so that we have some more weight on our GPA and so that we dont need to take that certain class in college. Well, since all 3 of us are sophomores, Rachel and I took AP classes. if youā€™ve seen before Im taking AP Psych and AP Euro and Rachel is taking just AP Bio. my AP Psych test is this Monday (5/7) and my Ap Euro test is (5/18), which means I have time to study because its a couple days before the concert and a couple days after. For Rachel on the other hand, her AP Bio test is the Monday after our concert (5/14). She only gets the weekend to prep after the concert, but we all know how drained we will be. I really want to give MY BESTFRIEND the opportunityā€™s to meet you since sheā€™s risking her grade. if you want you can give just her the rep room pass (sheā€™ll be sitting in seat 29) because she truly loves you and I feel that since sheā€™s risking her whole AP Exam, she literally deserves to meet you. anyways i love you lots T, and drink water during the Arizona show since theres a heat wave pulling up. cant wait to see you kill it on stage :) šŸ’– @taylorswift

My jojo feelings
The second batch of jojoā€™s bizarre adventure part 7 that i have been waiting forever will be released on netflix this september .Third batch will be released after 2 years and i would be 28 yrs old by then. Part 7 and part 8 are going to be released on my 30s and 40s, basically as a middle age person i would be still watching an anime but i have no choice, thats how they been running the jojo since the 1980s. Part 6 mangaā€™s in fact was released on 1999 so basically were watching a 23 yrs old story in 2022 and its not even fully released yet. But whatever. I have to live healthy and not die so i can watch steel ball run and jojolion animated. They have the best storylines and i just cant die without seeing them animated. If i was on my deathbed and asked whats the my last wish, the only wish i have is to watch jojo bc i love this anime so much it is life
Now back to part 6 stone ocean, i just saw the trailer for the upcoming next episodes and i immediately started crying remembering how it will end. After all their intense fighting scenes and camaraderie theyre all doomed to die anyways, which is making me so depress3d.
Part 6 ending literally didnā€™t serve justice. Iā€™m still mad that Foo fighters never got the credits that she deserve. She was the best girl and had the best character development. This is also the only part where the jojo got defeated by the villain and not only one jojo but TWO powerful jojos and its doesnt make sense because jolyne is definitely one of the smartest and quick thinkers in the entire series. Sheā€™s literally the best strategy gamer. Meanwhile jotaro, who actually made the entire franchise popular bc of his star platinum and fighting with Dio thats been memed since the early 2000s, got nerfed to hell which is so retarded.
Whats even more retarded is the fact that they all got defeated by some irrelevant faggot (just a dio minion) and the only left alive was also the irrelevant kid in the group and im so mad why does it have to be this way. Like emporio was cute and helpful and all but how the fuck did a non-jojo defeat the final boss? If emporio was the one to defeat that annoying gay nigger villain then he should be the jojo of the series then instead of centering the arcs to jolyne. Its so. Fucking. Retarded.
i invested so much emotion in this man rooting for jolyne and everyone but they all died and the only one left was the powerless kid and somehow he made some asspull that wasnt even his own. The ending will never ever satisfy me cause its basically just some solipsism shit because everyone there was more like a figment of emporioā€™s imagination, not the reality. They were all dead, they all died for nothing and its so stupid how they all died. It would have been more acceptable if the final boss was like Dio or Diavalo who had a powerful stand, but NO, it has to be the most boring, uncharismatic and uninteresting villain (he was an ex of Dio, which makes him a fagot) and i just cant stop saying how retarded that is
I quit gaming and immersed myself in the jojo world and saw all their fights. Its so heartbreaking for me to see all of them die for nothing. Iā€™m starting to believe that araki is a complete psychopath and just wanted to mindfuck his readers in a bad way, playing with our emotions. Like bruh. the thing is i donā€™t usually care about shit like this but araki made all these interesting, likable and fashionable characters with the best stands ever and teamwork. They didnt deserve an ending like that. And tbh, thats the reason why i'm choosing Golden Wind as my favorite cause atleast the jojo was still alive. if only the jolyne squad didnt die i would def chose Stone Ocean because i love all the fighting scenes and the mindfuck suspense shit in this. It feels more psychological and ive never seen an anime quite like this. Its definitely different from all those childish friendship anime storylines like naruto/hunterxhunter and onepiece which are all garbage. If you claim to be an anime fan and you said your favorite is hunterxhunter, I would put you in the degenerate weeebo category because there is nothing to like about hunter x hunter, unless you are a child
