#odia stuff

[taimanzano]

Never posted this one here, so it's now time.

My comic for the 2017 MegOp Zine, "Equinox". It was a project I really loved and I'm humbled that so many great artists participated on it. Forever grateful! The edition turned our pretty neat and I still cherish it on my bookshelf :>

Can I hear about the weatherman OC :3

Yeah!!

TWS FOR DEPRESSION, TOXIC PARENTING, MISCARRIAGE, SPOUSAL DEATH, GRIEF, ETC

I don't have much for her yet considering I just made her. But as I said, she's 27 and is Mayor Evermores daughter. Due to issues and incidents in her life (usually involving her dad fucking up things for her or just things never going her way) though, she is incredibly depressed and has kinda given up on life. But she's also mainly like this because she lost her child in a miscarriage and also lost her own spouse as of recently. So everything's kinda messy for this gal. Odia is very intelligent though and likes to infodump about the weather and just talk about it in general since it's kinda her area of field anyway—and she is genuinely good at her job, but she doesn't see how talented or good she really is since she pretty much hates herself for 'causing' all the stuff in her life. She doesn't really see a point in anything anymore—and copes with her issues in an unhealthy manner by drinking alcohol. She is also very lonely and socially awkward, and is a clumsy girlfailure nerd. And she's pretty charming in her own awkward way which is why most people kinda like her even upon first meeting her.

Her relationship with her dad isn't the best though, and they usually only talk when it's for something important. Odia is very tense around him and just generally anxious because of how her dad's been judging basically everything she does for years on end and hasn't let her really do anything and has just given her expensive gifts to show 'love'. Evermore is incredibly judgemental toward her because he genuinely believes he's somehow helping her by changing every little thing she does, even though she's a full on adult now—and does care for her in his own way, but he's still very toxic toward her and makes her feel unsafe and is just very hard on her in general.

1st December, 2023.

I visited Bali Jatra for fourth time today. Bali Jatra is the Asia's largest open trade fair, that is held in Cuttack every year. It begins from the day of Kartika Purnima and lasts for 7-8 days. This year, it started on 27th November and will end on 4th December.

It is held to pay homage to the maritime history of Odisha.

Bali Jatra may be just a fair for others, but an emotion and nostalgia for us Cuttackias. And I am simply obsessed with it since childhood and love to visit it daily.

When I was in my Class 10th, our tuition teacher forbade us to go to Bali Jatra, because he didn't want us to miss classes and lag behind the studies. Any kid who missed classes during those days, even if for other reasons, was punished severely. I didn't miss any classes, instead I went to Bali Jatra during the one-hour gap between school and tuition. It was tiring, but anything for Bali Jatra. I am that crazy about Bali Jatra.

So, today I went with Mom. Last three times I went there alone. People always ask me, don't I feel awkward visiting a fair alone? And yes, I did feel uncomfortable initially, but now I am used to it.

I have always visited the fair with my mom. Her office and my school were located at walking distance to the fair ground. Infact, the fair ground is midway between both the the places. When I was a kid, my mom would pick me up from school and we would walk to the fair and return to her office later. This used to be our daily routine during those 7-8 days.

And after I went to college, I used to go to her office and then we used to walk to the fair daily.

But then my mom retired and could not travel daily to visit the fair because of her health. I found no one else is crazy enough to accompany me daily. When my sister and bff hadn't moved out of town for higher studies/job, they used to go with me somedays. But after them, I got used to visit the fair alone.

Today, I bought a new Lord Jagannath idol from Bali Jatra. As an Odia, it doesn't matter how many such idols, posters or photos we have in our home, there is always space for more.

Then, I found some cute palm leaf Pattachitra bookmarks. Pattachitra is traditional Odia scroll painting. They are usually painted on cloth, palm leaves, coconut shells, wooden surfaces etc.

And of course, fair visit cannot be complete without buying some earrings. I also found Desiblr favourite peacock earrings.

My mom bought household stuffs like phool jhadu, Kandhamal haldi (pure, organic turmeric from Southern Odisha), some organic lentils etc. and then we had chat and pani puri.

Overall, I had a fun day with my mom and got reminded of those school days when we used to do this daily.

3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

20. What’s something you learned this year?

25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one

Please and thank you ❤️

Thanks for asking my sweetie pie ❤️🦋

3. My downloaded music list for this year tells me I haven’t actually gotten a lot of new stuff… but, among those things, I’m now actively listening to Nita Strauss, after seeing her shows on two occasions.

20. I learned a bunch of things this year - a few Iron Maiden songs on the bass, that COVID is still with us (grumble), that we do actually have a practical limit on the number of cats we can have in the house.  But what I’ve spent a lot of time working on learning is how to speak Italian, and a good number of useful sentences like “Attento, il mio cane odia le persone” (Careful, my dog hates people), “Gli ingegneri sanno la risposta” (The engineers know the answer), and “Il gelato non è una colazione” (Ice cream is not a breakfast) - though I dispute the wisdom of that last one 😆

25. There weren’t a lot of characters created in the D&D game this year since the players spent a lot of time contending with the bizarre environment they were in - but later on they ran into an unnamed innkeeper at a crossroads inn (twisted into the shape of a corkscrew) within the Angry Earth. The innkeeper is a faerie, since this inn is a gateway to the Feywild… so I described him as Lurch, but with dragonfly wings.  He asked the party to “walk this way” when they checked in, and scowled that they repeated his Ministry of Silly Walks gait, not catching them out breaking the rules 😆

[khaleesiofalicante]

Ok. All these are Odia words.

Saralaartha. (Pronunciation- SawrawLaarthaw). Meaning “simple meaning”. (Sarala= simple, Artha= meaning). This one reminds me of David and Kincaid. Best for the FIL-SIL relationship. Hehe

Silpikaar. Meaning “craftsman”. Or “one with the knowledge of fine craftsmanship”. Perhaps Magnus or Nicholas thorn had the power of silpikaar coz they were so good with their skills? Oh oh. Maybe it’s Isabelle coz she helps the iron sisters build stuff!

Achambit. Meaning “extremely shook” “shocked” “surprised”. This one gives of Arthur vibes. Our chaotic babe who just knows how to add a littul more drama. Hehe.

Puramdaara. Meaning “the fort destroyer” or “the one who causes mass destruction”. This word is often used to refer to Indra (goddess of rain ) who causes mass destruction due to cyclones and thunderstorms. This can be used to describe some new power of max!

I really like Silpikaar and Puramdaara. I already kind of have an idea of who it might fit (can't tell you! sorry!) so thank you!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tumblr long time no see but guess what it's always about the boring old stuff

Trovo incredibilmente interessante il fatto che i miei genitori siano davvero convinti di poter dimostrare qualcosa ti poter imporre il loro modo di vivere in quanto loro nella loro vita hanno fatto molto. Fatto molto: comprato, lavorato, per quanto è riguardo mia madre speso una vita su un divano a piangersi addosso perché la sua vita le fa schifo perché ha deciso di vivere in un paese che non le è mai piaciuto perché ha deciso di lasciare un lavoro che amava per cui aveva studiato per fare un lavoro che odia. Ma ehi, loro hanno comprato una casa, un giardino, comprato macchine, insomma hanno comprato. E non puoi non essere un esempio da seguire se nella tua vita non hai fatto altro che recluderti tutto per fare quello che la società si aspetta che tu faccia:lavorare, e se sei donna, essere madre e moglie. Ogni volta che torno a casa mi trovo catapultata in un era distante anni luce dalla mia quotidianità dove non si perde occasione per farmi capire di quanto sia vincente questo stile di vita, che devo decidermi ad adeguarmi, a seguire il buon esempio, a fare quello che ci si aspetta da me. D'altronde a venticinque anni sarebbe ancora ora passata di chiudersi in ufficio di merda per minimo cinquanta ore alla settimana di trovarmi un uomo e di imparare finalmente a cucinare e di non lasciare il bucato sulla scrivania ad asciugare perché una vera donna deve per lo meno saper stendere il bucato. Lo sapevate che c'è un modo per stendere il bucato? Un modo preciso fatto di regole ben chiare le quali a quanto pare sono conosciute a tutte, tranne a me. Bè io trovo tutto questo mondo estremamente interessante dal punto di vista sociale. Lo trovo interessante perché non capisco come una persona estremamente insoddisfatta della propria vita, una persona che nella vita si sia negata tutto e abbia vissuto solo per gli altri nella speranza che boh? Forse un giorno qualcuno le desse un premio e le dessero finalmente quella tanta sperata attenzione che non ha mai ricevuto da nessuno? Non capisco come questa persona non possa vedere tutto questo e anzi ti porti il suo tragitto di vita come esempio assoluto da seguire nella vita. Almeno per quanto riguarda mio padre lui ha il suo lavoro. Che è poi l'unica cosa che ha sempre avuto nella sua vita, ma una persona che vive da 60anni come una macchina senza porsi domande semplicemente ignora il fatto che questo non sia normale ed è felice. E va bene così. Sono felice per te. Anzi a dirla tutta ti invidio perché so che veramente ami quello che fai e io non mi capacito di come si possa amare qualcosa chiamato "lavoro". Io posso amare uno sport, una amica, un cane,un gatto,un momento, un ricordo ma un lavoro? Dio se solo potessi essere invidiose delle cose materiali. Non ricordo ci sia mai stata una volta in cui sia stata invidiosa di qualcosa. Una maglia, un concerto. Forse perche venendo da una famiglia benestante ho sempre potuto avere tutto. Ma le cose immateriali, ahia, la fa male. A scuola era la popolarità. Grazie a Dio anni dopo ho capito che se solo avessi avuto un quarto della popolarità che tanto volevo ci sarei morta da quando mi sarei trovata a disagio ad essere al centro dell'attenzione. Invidia per la tua spensieratezza. La tua felicità. L'amore per il tuo lavoro. L'amore tra voi due. Invidia per i 105kg di panca piana. Dio se solo fossi una persona stupida e banale e mediocre come i tre quarti di questa popolazione del cazzo invece no dovevo nascere intelligente così intelligente da passare la vita a pormi domande su cose che la maggior parte della gente neanche nota. Su cose che la gente interpreta come automatismi sociali e decide semplicemente di dire: si. Io non so dire si. Ma so mandarvi molto bene a fanculo, uno dopo l'altro, voi e i vostri preconcetti del cazzo che non avete mai messo in discussione in 50 passati solo perché vi sono stati insegnati come "giusti". Per me siete tutti scemi e pazzi a vivere così

Cristo Te Odia by Cuarteto de Nos? (Definitely look up a translation for it if you don't know Spanish.)

Without knowing the lyrics: It's okay

Knowing the lyrics: Not my thing (I'm a very devout Christian...)

Reminds me of my hometown which was half Hispanic, and all our neighbors blasting stuff like this at their big outdoor parties

Happy new year everyone!

I hope that for every one of you this year brings you, good health, happiness and financial stability. I hope you all will have the strength to keep finding joy in all sorts of things. I hope you all keep finding the strength to keep going, and i am so proud for how far y'all came. You should be proud too

I truly wish the best for y'all <3

This year has been amazing in many ways and one of them is having you guys around here, especially

@onetimetwotimesthreetimess, your writing is amazing , like i am obsessed, and even though i have temporarily stopped reading and writing for a bit, you make me miss it and start it up again.

@literallytypogod , i am so glad that i am mutuals with you here, i can talk about all sorts of odia things and obviously TSC and that combo makes it amazing. And obviously your writing!! I love to see your stuff and i enjoy them immensely

@delightfullyterrible , i don't know what to say. Here, have my heart <3

@wildegremlin , you and i both have been on and off here and that is probably why it makes me happier to sometimes see you in my inbox. i am just glad that we still have some interactions and i hope we keep that going

@potato-jem , when i found out that you are familiar with kpop, that made me so happy because i could talk about how similar some artists (GOT7) are to some characters of tsc. You basically helped me through my obsession (it is ongoing btw) I am just glad you put up with my asks about them <3

Unfortunately i havent been really active here, but i do miss it here. I miss interacting with y'all, all of my moots and anyone else that came across my posts, and nerding about everything and anything

I'll make sure to be here more often

Maybe i will even publish some stuff here, who knows

Oh well I studied in a school where people had to give fines for speaking in hindi and in general people took pride for not knowing their own regional language like I am odia and there was this one guy who literally said he hated speaking in odia because it sounded cheap...? Anyway so yeah there are plenty of people I meet who think English is superior and more classy. Some parents too think the same and encourage children to not learn their mother tongue. It's messy like at one point you want children to know your culture and stuff but then let them never be heard speaking their own mother tongue amidst their peers and scold them for not speaking english

I am sorry but anyone giving English a higher standard than their own language has zero respect in my eyes.

Heloooo

Kemiti acha??

Hellooo!!!!

Mu bhala acchi tame kemiti accha 🥺??!

Also there are lot of odia mutuals here too so grateful to see that 🥺💌
