The Seven Line Prayer

Hum! In the north-west of the land of Oddiyana,

In the heart of a lotus flower,

Endowed with the most marvellous attainments,

You are renowned as the 'Lotus-born',

Surrounded by many hosts of dakinis.

Following in your footsteps,

I pray to you: Come, inspire me with your blessing!

A Celebration of Tradition and Love

Prabhas × Fem!OC

The scent of incense filled the air as Prabhas and Shreya, dressed in traditional attire, stood before the sacred fire, surrounded by family and friends. In the heart of their home, they had gathered to celebrate a momentous occasion—the naming ceremony of their baby girl.

The room was adorned with flowers and garlands, the soft glow of candles casting a warm and inviting light over the proceedings. The air was alive with the sounds of laughter and joy, as loved ones came together to bless the newest member of the family.

As the priest chanted sacred hymns, Prabhas and Shreya held their daughter in their arms, her tiny form cradled against their hearts. They looked down at her with love and pride, marveling at the miracle of new life that had brought them so much joy.

"Today, we gather to bestow upon this precious child a name that will be her identity, her essence, and her legacy," the priest intoned, his voice reverberating through the room.

With that, Prabhas and Shreya stepped forward, offering prayers and blessings for their daughter's future. They whispered words of love and guidance, promising to nurture and protect her with all their hearts.

Then, with a sense of reverence and anticipation, they announced her name to the world—Aria. It was a name filled with meaning and significance, symbolizing the harmony and beauty that had graced their lives since her arrival.

As the ceremony came to a close, Prabhas and Shreya shared the news with the world through Prabhas's Instagram account. They posted a heartfelt message, accompanied by a photo of their clasped hands cradling a delicate lotus flower—a symbol of purity and enlightenment.

"Hi Darlings, today we are thrilled to share with you the name of our precious daughter—Aria Prabhas Uppalapati," the message read. "In the traditions of our culture, her name is a reflection of the harmony and beauty that she brings into our lives. We are so grateful for the love and blessings that surround her, and we can't wait to watch her grow and flourish in the years to come."

The response from fans and well-wishers was overwhelming, as messages of congratulations poured in from around the world. But amidst the excitement, there was also a sense of respect and understanding for the couple's decision to keep their daughter's face hidden from the public eye.

As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Prabhas and Shreya cherished every moment with their daughter, watching her grow and thrive in the loving embrace of their family. They reveled in the simple joys of parenthood—her first smile, her first laugh, and the sparkle of curiosity in her eyes.

And though Aria's face remained hidden from the world, her presence in their lives was a constant source of joy and inspiration—a reminder of the beauty and wonder of new life, and the boundless love that filled their hearts as they embarked on this incredible journey together.

"Sooner the snake is dealt with the better, even for the cursed one's sake... though I feel for him as well when bearing so much hurt while figuring out things." Atem couldn't help of feeling so useless when others be suffering and wondering what to even do really, "While I talked with him a good bit those few times, I believe the sun will shine on his end of the curse. Certain of it... so says one royal that wholeheartedly believes in friends and of their inner strength. He's not weak in that sense... fires may be uncontrollable but they can be such inspirations, like the Phoenix a bit like Ra's flaming form in a way. Hmm." seeming to be talkative again of a certain person but giving a smile after a bit.

"With the sunset comes a new dawn... as those to lotus flowers always bloom again in muddied waters, such marvels you truly be like them... just give yourself credit and not hold the past wrongs done so harshly against yourself. It happened yes but one cannot learn if they make mistakes, much like game masters of tournaments and skilled tacticians in combat of battle."

LADY LOTUS: REFORMED SUPERHERO

After losing everything during the events of Assassin-Nation, Lady Lotus is imprisoned beneath Carlyle Tower in a cell in the middle of a 50 ft deep tank of water. When she finds out that Ryuko has now become the queen of New Tokyo, she feels a strange sense of satisfaction that her greatest nemesis was able to do what she could not. Realizing that she completely wasted her life, Himiko Murakami's ego finally shatters. Now left with a deep desire to fix her ways, she plans to escape and become a superhero. Her chance comes sooner than she expected when someone opens her cell and lets her escape. Unfortunately, this anonymous source isn't here to help her. It wants to destroy her. Why? Out of sheer absolute boredom. The Midas Collective is a cabal of rich assholes who meet up every month and use their infinite resources to destroy someone's life for their own amusement. Some days, it's a politician; others, it's an innocent man. This year their victim is Lady Lotus. They don't plan to kill her, they plan to destroy her entire life and then kill her. After freeing her from prison, they let her head to one of her safe houses before blowing it up with a missile. This does inspire Lotus to be heroic and save everyone caught in the blast. The Collective then kidnaps every single one of her assassins, letting Himiko know by sending her Viper wrapped in a bomb vest with a deadman's trigger. After Himiko saves Viper with the help of Mariko Murakami, they follow Viper to where the assassins are being held: in the abandoned Murakami Manor, which has been converted into a funhouse maze full of the Murakami family's sins. They find the assassins at the end of the maze strapped to the wall and rigged with bombs wired to their hearts. In 2 minutes, everyone will die. Or Himiko can kill the assassins via electrocution and save herself. Unable to choose, the assassins chose for her and kill themselves with poison capsules. All Himiko can do is cry in utter shame at the deaths of all of her surrogate children. After that, Himiko tracks down every member of the Midas Collective and exposes their crimes. Running out of people and resources, the leader, Midas, gets desperate and tries to assassinate Ryuko, but fails thanks to Himiko informing the heroes ahead of time. Himiko nearly kills him as revenge but loses the nerve when Midas cowardly begs for death to avoid going to prison. Lotus ultimately decides to spare him to prove that she truly has changed. After a long discussion, the heroes reluctantly give Lotus a chance at redemption on their time. It took a few years, but Lotus slowly managed to prove that she has what it takes to be a true hero, using her superior intellect and martial arts mastery to crack down on criminal operations across Harking City and New Tokyo. To move on from the past, Himiko makes it her goal to make Lady Lotus a force of Justice rather than Vengeance. To do so, she completely changes her design. She abandons the black and orange kimono with the red boots for a black skin-tight coat with tai chi slippers. To still retain her orange theme, she adds orange piping along her coat and pants. She also abandons the geisha makeup for black lipstick and orange eye shadow. She

This design was heavily inspired by Iron Fist (Marvel), Colleen Wing (Marvel), Chun Li (Street Fighter 6), and the show TRON UPRISING. Do you like it, or do you prefer her original design?

Exploring the Mystique of the Gomti Chakra Tree

Title: Exploring the Mystique of the Gomti Chakra Tree with Go Life Shopping

Nestled in the annals of spiritual lore and natural mysticism, the Gomti Chakra Tree stands as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with the natural world. Revered across various cultures, particularly in India, this mystical tree is not merely a botanical marvel but a symbol of spiritual energy and cosmic connection.

Origin and Mythical Significance

The Gomti Chakra Tree derives its name from the Gomti River in India, where these unique shells are found abundantly. According to legend, these shells are believed to be a manifestation of the thousand-petaled lotus, which is a symbol of spirituality and enlightenment in Hindu mythology. It is said that these shells bring good luck, ward off negative energies, and enhance prosperity. The tree itself, believed to possess the essence of these shells, thus carries immense spiritual significance.

Botanical and Physical Attributes

Scientifically known as Sterculia foetida, the Gomti Chakra Tree is a tropical species native to South Asia. It typically grows up to 20 meters tall and is characterized by its distinctive heart-shaped leaves and small, round fruit capsules. The tree is valued not only for its spiritual symbolism but also for its practical uses. Its seeds yield a valuable oil, while the timber is used in construction and furniture making.

Cultural and Spiritual Practices

In Indian culture, the Gomti Chakra Tree is revered for its association with Lord Krishna, who is often depicted holding a flute made from its wood. Devotees believe that planting and nurturing these trees can bring blessings and spiritual fulfillment. The Gomti Chakra shells, which resemble the sacred Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu, are often used in rituals and ceremonies to invoke protection and prosperity.

Go Life Shopping's Role

Go Life Shopping celebrates the mystical allure of the Gomti Chakra Tree by offering a range of products that honor its cultural and spiritual significance. From decorative items crafted from its timber to authentic Gomti Chakra shells sourced sustainably, Go Life Shopping provides enthusiasts with opportunities to connect with this revered symbol.

Modern Day Reverence and Conservation Efforts

Despite its cultural and spiritual significance, the Gomti Chakra Tree faces threats from deforestation and habitat loss. Efforts are underway to conserve and propagate these trees through sustainable practices and awareness campaigns. Organizations like Go Life Shopping are actively involved in promoting the preservation of this species, ensuring that its legacy endures for future generations.

Conclusion

The Gomti Chakra Tree encapsulates the intertwining of nature and spirituality, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices that define cultural heritage. From its mythical origins to its practical applications and spiritual symbolism, this tree continues to captivate and inspire reverence. As custodians of our natural world, it is our collective responsibility, along with initiatives like Go Life Shopping, to safeguard species like the Gomti Chakra Tree, ensuring that their legacy endures for generations to come.

In essence, the Gomti Chakra Tree beckons us to reconnect with nature's wisdom and embrace the spiritual energies that flow through it, reminding us of our interconnectedness with the cosmos and the profound mysteries that lie therein. With Go Life Shopping's dedication to preserving and celebrating the Gomti Chakra Tree, enthusiasts can embark on a journey of spiritual discovery and cultural appreciation, enriching their lives through the wisdom of nature.

Another question about chasing a dream? What worlds were you going to have them visit what fandoms were going to be involved?

So I had the story divided into four "Waves" of worlds. I ended up stopping after Wave One, so that was all written, but the other waves were just in my head.

Wave One (all of these can be seen in the story; very much the set up phase)

Asgard/Earth-616 – Marvel Universe (set post phase one of the MCU but canon divergent from the MCU with more comics inspo beyond The Avengers)

Rise of the Guardians World

Haloweentown/The Land Without Magic - Halloweentown movies and Once Upon a Time

World of the Four Nations – Avatar: The Last Airbender

Tatooine – Star Wars

Wave Two (the main adventure phase)

Earth-616 (2nd Visit) – Marvel universe (rewrite of Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Age of Ultron)

Camelot – BBC's Merlin (finale intercepted before Arthur's death)

Avalon/Gargoyles Earth (post-Goliath Chronicles)

Earth-616 (3rd Visit) – Marvel universe (plot inspired by Secret War/The beginning of Civil War)

Enchanted Forest – Once Upon a Time (plot set during season one following Mulan and Prince Phillip fighting Cora)

Montressor – Treasure Planet (return trip home focused on Jim's missing dad returning)

Wave Three (the ANGST arc - everything gets angsty and messy)

Repo! the Genetic Opera World (post film)

Earth-666 – Supernatural (post season 6; everything else discontinuity) and The Covenant (post film)

Percy Jackson & the Olympians World (the Dream Team get time capsuled for four years in the Lotus Casino)

Neverland/Enchanted Forest/The Land Without Magic (2nd Visit) – (Once Upon a Time season 3A rewrite fix-fic)

Halloweentown (2nd Visit) - Halloweentown

Earth-616 (4th Visit) – Marvel universe (plot inspired by Civil War and Dark Reign)

Wave Four (the finale arcs)

San Fransokyo - Big Hero 6 (post film - this was before the TV show existed)

Kingdom Keepers world (post series)

Symphony of Sorcery - Fantasia

Atlantica – The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea AU retelling to make it... y'know, good.

Rise of the Guardians World (2nd Visit)

Earth-616 (5th Visit)/Asgard (2nd Visit) – Marvel universe (plot inspired by Dark Reign and Siege - final hoorah against Team Loki)

Fhloston Paradise – The Fifth Element (final hoorah against Team Mok)

Hollow Bastion - Kingdom Hearts (final hoorah against the Overlords)

There would have also been a few fandoms that popped up that weren't featured as worlds such as Descendants, True Blood, Heroes, and Dragon Age.

Ep 16-17: Cuisine Cont. (Part 1)

Three things.

I came close to doubting my sanity because SO many food and I got ptsd flashbacks from the time I recapped 200+ dishes of Royal Feast lol. And Tumblr has a 10 pics limit per post and I don't feel like making these two eps more than two posts, so I resorted to cutting the food scenes into videos.

To my further frustration the HD video I downloaded of this ep had terrible hard subs and I ain't gonna redownload it so please turn a blind eye, I'll type the proper translation anyway and there's the Chinese subs.

Some of these have being showcased in Royal Feast and Delicacies Destiny too, I'll link them in Red.

Shangyuan (lantern) Festival in Lichun - Yuanxiao

Make balls using crushed peanuts, black sesame, sugar, milk. Dampen and coat in glutinous rice flour and put in boiling water. The detailed process of making it is recorded in "Zhuozhongzhi" of Ming Dynasty. A Song dynasty verse says, "Culinary officer searched for new flavor.

Kitchen maid marvelled at the new technique.

Dark clouds glittered with stars.

White pearls dance in boiling water."

"A night of full moon without lanterns is dull. A full moon without lanterns isn't spring. When spring arrives, people are like pieces of jade. Above the glowing lanterns, the moon turns silver."

-Tang Bohu

"Emerald ladle and silver pot to relish the night stroll. Countless lanterns are lit with the moon above the building. Silky smooth amber flow into the spoon. Brilliant pearls sail on the soup. Delightful aroma in hand, warmth arises in the wine vessel. The old traditions of the capital remains exuded."

-Wang Qianqiu of Song dynasty

The AM: February 6 and 20, 2023

Looks like I was so excited about taking Feb. 13 off that I completely neglected to post the Feb. 6 episode. Here’s streaming links for today and the 6th — double your listening for a holiday Monday.

Feb. 6: An 8:30 Throwback to a transitionary period for Sly Stone, in an episode that spans from Sly's subdued grooves to New Order ar the poppiest, classic shoegaze, dreamy omnichords from Lael Neale, Twilight Zone and Night of the Living Dead-sampling electronics, and other offbeat easy listening for the first Monday of February.

Listen on Soundcloud

Stream on CJSW

Feb. 20: A mid-episode throwback to Tony Allen inspires an extended jazz and afrobeat interlude in the show's second hour—consider it a warm-blooded antidote to the frozen landscape on this Family Day morning. Beyond that, it's your usual AM mix of ambient sounds, off-kilter pop, and occasionally explosive shoegaze, all calibrated to wake you up properly on a holiday Monday.
