#prop meaning in hindi

[wynought]

since i haven't seen it being pointed out before

all of the first stoats' names essentially mean "light"

kiran is of sanskrit origin meaning "ray of light" (and, according to wikipedia, an explicitly unisex name), uri is a hebrew name meaning "my light", hester is a variant of the name esther (of biblical/jewish origin) which comes from the same old persian root as the word "star", and, while i didn't find any particularly reliable source, various babyname websites at least seem to agree that jomei is a japanese name meaning "spread light"

additionally, their names seem to correlate with their purpose/position in last bast:

jomei is the speaker, they are in charge of propaganda - quite literally spreading the belief system and worldview of the first stoats aka the Light. it feels like this name is extremely straightforward in its meaning, but i was also unable to find much else on it, so there may be some additional hidden truth that i'm missing so far.

hester is the silence (the one with the gas mask missing their lower jaw and tongue) and their sphere of influence is secrets. now, i'm no religious scholar, and i have all of my information from quite literally the introductory paragraphs of the wikipedia article on the name esther. however, it seems that queen esther only took this name after ascending to the throne of persia to hide her true identity. this is reflected in the hebrew root of the name esther translating into "hide"/"conceal". (i am unable to provide more info on this, but anybody with a working understanding of how hebrew works and/or with more insight on the book of esther, feel free to interject/correct/add on to this)

uri is our beloved stoat pope. apparently, the name uri comes from the verb for "to shine" (to either be or to give light) and the mark of possession, resulting in the first connotation i mentioned earlier - "my light". this possessive marker, however, can also be interpreted as the name Yah which would be an abbreviation of YHWH - a marker of the divine, if you will. Therefore, Uri can also mean "Yah is my light", a very fitting name for the stoat whose department we only see called "faith".

i was unable to find a deeper meaning behind kiran's name, although to me "beam of light" feels very much like a name befitting the first stoats' leader. considering the way they commanded the wolf of theseus, it also seems to reflect the way their magic/their brand of control worked (their line of sight was part of how they controlled the wolf, indicating that was a key part of either their magic or the conditioning inflicted on the wolf - i'm partial towards the latter, considering how the wolf reacted to tula after she healed it). if anybody has anything more concrete to offer, though, i am all ears!

anyways, the first stoats' names are really cool, and we as a fandom don't talk enough about them because they died so fast. huge props to aabria for this fun bit of world building!

(disclaimer: as mentioned above, i have no background in theology or judaism, nor do i have any deeper knowledge of sanskrit, hindi, and indian mythology/folklore, nor japanese, and japanese mythology which would give me a deeper understanding of these names. my information comes from google and while i did try my best to verify the claims, i am fallible and happen to currently be very tired, so please correct me, if i made any mistakes!)

part two: questionnaire.

001. the professor provides every member of libertalia a unique codename that reflects their personality. each codename is derived from various forms of mythology, folklore, or literature. why do you think the professor chose that name for you? do you agree or disagree with his decision?

a smirk tugs at her lips, before she takes the screwdriver from where it’d been held between her teeth. “so van helsing, right? infamous vampire hunter, the character practically immortalized due to more recent works making him out to be this action hero. when in reality he was so much more, as written in bram stoker’s dracula. a philosopher, doctor, lawyer, professor, metaphysist…but most importantly, a scientist. i guess my background in science, philosophy and dabbling in metaphysics gave way to my codename. and honestly i enjoy it.”

002. gaining an invitation into libertalia isn’t an easy feat. what do you think made you special enough to get handpicked by the professor? and what qualities do you think allowed you to join your position?

"i feel like i'm going to sound like a right arse for answering this, talking all high and mighty of myself." she snorts, leaning forward in her chair. "but i digress. i'm fairly good at thinking on my feet, i was able to get my old crew out of some hairy situations with some on-the-spot concoctions. my engineering professor said i have a wild mechanical aptitude, which i figure helps me with a lot of what i do for the libertalia. whether that be reworking the weapons, coming up with a new way in or out, or just plain ole chemical engineering. my brain just has a way of working problems from multiple angles before landing on the best possible solutions."

003. the captain’s crew is the highest position at libertalia, they are the select few who are aware of the professor’s identity. do you desire to graduate to this level? if you’re already a member of the captain’s crew what motivated you to change your position?

“maybe one day, i think it would be fun to figure out the plans for the heists and such. that being said, i truly enjoy what i do. i wouldn't have gotten into, or stayed in this field of expertise if i didn't. so i suppose i'd miss making things go boom personally if i managed to move up the ladder to the captains."

004. although many members of libertalia don’t know each other’s personal lives, it’s rumored that many members came from suspicious backgrounds. who were you before joining and what was your life like prior?

"i feel like this is one of those questions you're not actually supposed to answer...or rather answer with 'i'm not at liberty to disclose that information." helsing smirks before waving her hand dismissively. "i'm kidding. i had my own crew i ran with, ever since i was 16 until i joined the libertalia. it was fun, they were essentially my second family. i flourished under them and i owe a lot of what i know about the criminal world to them. before that it was just a simple life in london with my parents and two older brothers, who i still keep in contact with. i mainly got into crime after a fire burned down the family bakery and we needed the money, ever since i've sent some back from whatever i make."

005. what was your primary motivation for joining libertalia? was it for the riches or for the thrill of adventure? or is there something else motivating you to continue working for the group? what do you hope to achieve?

"honestly? the thrill of adventure." she laughs. "i know! i know, it's cheesy. my old crew ran your run of the mill heists but the whole premise and mystery of libertalia really intrigued me. and so far i haven't been disappointed. riches are neither nor there, i love my job even more now than i did then. so if there's anything i hope to achieve out of all of this, it’s to continue to get better at what i do. and c'mon, finding henry avery's treasure? that'd be such an awesome thing to put on the hypothetical resume."

006. how would the other members describe you? would you consider yourself to be a team-player or do you prefer to work independently?

"100% a team player, even if i'm more of a 'tell me what you want done then let me do it in peace' type." helsing admits with a grin and shrug. "i'll do whatever i have to do to keep my team safe and make sure they get back in one piece, blow things up first and pay for the damages later. 9 times out of 10 you'll find cookies in my lab for when anyone swings by, i have an open door policy unless the 'do not disturb' sign is explicitly up."

007. libertalia is anonymous, therefore necessitates secrecy outside of the group. how do you balance your personal life outside of this, granted you have one? is there a clear separation between libertalia and your personal life?

"i feel like it's a bit of a cliché, but my family actually think i work for the british government." she rolls her eyes before laughing, holding her hands up in defense. "i'm serious! i have a friend who works at mi5 that i managed to convince into covering for me when i first got into my more shady work. they're in a lower level position, so if my parents call their office my friend will cover for me and let me know they called. we have a whole set up, real movie worthy. i have a few friends from outside of this business that i get together with. i'd say i keep my personal and libertalia life fairly separate, unless i get together with one of the crew outside of work."

008. henry avery’s treasure has been lost since 1695. even with the brightest minds on the case, all leads to find the treasure haven’t turned up. avery’s treasure is the professor’s white whale and after several years of searching, many believe the treasure ceases to exist. do you believe the treasure exists?

“sure, why not?” she mumbles, mouth quirking to the side. “we haven’t found any proof yet to suggest otherwise, so i feel it does exist. just because something’s been lost for such a long time, doesn’t mean that it changes it legitimacy. let’s just hope this white whale doesn’t kill us like ahab’s did him.”

009. do you trust the professor? do you trust the libertalia?

chewing on the end of a twizzler, helsing shrugs. “i trust everyone until they give me a reason not to. i find it’s almost easier that way. so far, neither the professor nor the libertalia have given me any reason to distrust them. so, until further notice, they have my full loyalty.”

part three: the biography;

jaya nadar grew up the daughter of two fairly basic london individuals — a history professor at oxford and a 4th generation bakery owner. two older brothers meant she had two protectors who also taught her how to take care of herself when they weren’t around. “you fight dirty,” rishi, the oldest, always told her “and never assume they’re going to fight fair.” she was a bit of a quirky scrapper growing up, and a nerdy one at that. meaning if the resident bully tried to take the lunch money off of one of her fellow nerds…she’d just take it right back, grinning as she’d hand it back, wiping the blood from her lips. her parents wanted her to make more friends, not that she lacked any...but the ones that she did probably weren't exactly the kind that they'd had in mind. after a science experiment unintentionally actually went right, jaya gained the attention of a crew looking for a new explosives expert. and she became it. she was 16 when she joined the crew, and they taught her everything else that she'd need to know to run with them; weapons proficiency, better tactics with explosives and chemical engineering, even mechanical skills that jaya took to easily. the crew stayed together up until 7 years ago, when the democratic way with which they ran started to fracture right in front of jaya's eyes. different ideas and point of views made them split, and jaya left broken hearted before it could (ironically) blow up in her face. that's when she got the call. she joined the libertalia in a heartbeat, not asking many questions because really, who wouldn't want to join a mysterious organization eh? she doesn't take herself too seriously, but she does everything in her power to be the best at what she does, for the sake of the rest of the group. she'll do whatever it takes to make sure they can get back in one piece, even if that means blowing things up first and paying for the damages later. 9/10 find her sitting upside down, with a screwdriver clutched between her teeth as she tinkers with a weapon or figures out an equation. she’s always experimenting and tinkering with the weapons, never wanting to fit the crew with any old equipment. she’s a good listener, witty, and a wicked shot. always been a plucky one, she'd prefer to go through a wall than jump over it and honestly does try to talk her way out of situations...but isn't afraid to resort to whatever tactics are necessary to help her coworkers or self out. also 10/10 will cook for you if you had a bad day okay.

Anita is rehearsing a song from her musical, pouring emotion into each note.

She pauses, breaking character. Nick enters and claps.

NICK That’s beautiful. I love it.

ANITA Hey, what are you doing here?

NICK I just wanted to check in—you mentioned you'd be rehearsing.

ANITA I’m working on my song, but I’m stuck on the chorus.

NICK It sounds great. What’s the theme?

ANITA Finding hope in tough times.

NICK How about, "When the world’s crashing down, we’ll rise up, we’ll fight…"

ANITA (nodding, excited) Are you a songwriter too?

NICK (smiling) "We’ll chase away the darkness, with our love shining bright…"

ANITA "And together we’ll conquer, we’ll soar to new heights…"

They share a warm smile.

NICK How’d you get into all this?

ANITA (looking at an old photo) Into…? Oh — my aunt was an actress in a traveling theater company.

Anita’s eyes soften, lost in memory.

ANITA There was this little library across the street from my house in Boulder City, Nevada. Every house looked exactly the same. I was ten and already needed to get out. My aunt flew into town one day and showed me the library’s old-movie section. We spent the entire day watching classic films—Bringing Up Baby, Notorious, Casablanca.

(slight beat) I never knew the world was so big.

(smiling, nostalgic) I started putting on plays in my garage. I'd write the scripts, print programs, and she’d give me props from wherever she’d just been—New York, London, Paris.

Anita answers her phone.

ANITA Hey, how's it going?

NICK Hey, Anita! I’m good, just reading your script. How about you?

ANITA Have you checked out Act 2?

NICK Yeah, it looks good. How about adding a few lines in Hindi when the lead meets locals in India? It could add emotional depth.

ANITA Okay, what do you have in mind?

NICK (in Hindi) "Hamare dilon ki awaaz hai jo humein ek doosre se jodti hai." (It’s the voice of our hearts that connects us.)

ANITA (smiling) That’s beautiful.

NICK Let’s meet tomorrow for coffee.

ANITA Sounds good.

NICK Talk to you tomorrow. Bye! INT. STUDIO SPACE – DAY

Anita and Nick sit at a desk, working on scripts, making final adjustments. The atmosphere is calm.

NICK As I was saying on the phone—have you thought about adding more foreign language into your script?

ANITA But I don’t know how to write in another language.

Nick smirks and leans in.

NICK I can help with that.

He clears his throat and speaks in Hindi.

NICK (in Hindi) "Mera naam Nick hai. Main is pariyojana par aapke saath kaam karne ke liye bahut khush hoon. Aap mere liye prerana srot hain." (My name is Nick. I am very happy to be working with you on this project. You are an inspiration to me.)

ANITA I don’t understand, but that sounds great!

NICK It means "My name is Nick. I am very happy to be working with you on this project. You are an inspiration to me." let me rent out studio space.

EXT. NYC – DAY

Anita and Nick rehearse a scene together.

ANITA A producer wants to back our musical. We have a week to finish it. This is our chance.

NICK I know, but we can’t rush. Let’s get Act 2 right.

ANITA I was thinking about the Hindi dialogue you added. It’s working well.

NICK Glad you like it. Let’s add more moments like that.

ANITA I’ve been practicing some Hindi. Want to hear?

NICK Sure!

ANITA (in Hindi) Main hoon Anita.

Nick claps, impressed.

NICK That was great! Your pronunciation is spot on.

NICK Let’s rehearse the opening song of the musical.

ANITA (singing, with feeling) "In the shadows, where I’ve been so long, I’m searching for a place where I belong… But deep inside, I feel a spark, A way to chase away the dark…"

Nick steps closer, joining in with his verse.

NICK (singing, encouraging) "I’ve walked through nights with no end in sight, But I’m holding on, I’ll find the light… We’ve got the strength, we’ve got the will, Together, we can climb this hill…"

ANITA (singing, harmonizing with Nick) "We’ll rise above, we’ll break these chains, And leave behind all the pain… In the light, we’ll stand so tall, And in the end, we’ll have it all…"

NICK That’s good. Let me think about some ideas, and we can connect tomorrow.

INT. NYC STUDIO - DAY, SCENE 7

Nick and Anita are in the middle of a discussion. Nick shares his thoughts, attempting to convey his ideas.

NICK I’ve got some ideas—like props, LED screens—really make a splash.

ANITA This show doesn’t need all that. It’s about the story.

NICK But it needs to stand out. You’re too focused on keeping it simple.

ANITA (raising her voice) It’s about staying true to the story, not making a splash.

NICK I’m just trying to bring something fresh. Maybe you’re too stuck on your vision.

ANITA (voice trembling) This project is personal. It feels like you’re just here for yourself.

NICK (shouting) Maybe I am! If that’s a problem, maybe we’re not on the same page.

ANITA Maybe we’re not. I thought we were creating something together, but maybe we’re better off on our own.

NICK Fine. Let’s leave it at that.

A few days later.

Nick texts Anita.

TEXT FROM NICK Can we talk?

TEXT FROM ANITA Okay. Tomorrow.

EXT. NYC STREET - DAY, SCENE 7.1

Nick and Anita meet, the tension between them still palpable.

NICK Let’s start over. I need to confess something.

ANITA What is it?

NICK At first, I didn’t believe in your musical. I just needed a distraction—I didn’t care about the story.

Anita is taken aback.

ANITA So it wasn’t about us, just you?

NICK Initially, yes. But then I saw how much it meant to you, and I started to care. I pushed for changes to make it successful for both of us.

ANITA You let me believe it was about us.

NICK I’m sorry. I didn’t want to seem like a failure. But I see now that hiding the truth made things worse.

Anita looks at him, conflicted.

ANITA It still hurts.

NICK I’m not asking you to forget—just to give me a chance to prove I care about the project… and about you.

Anita pauses, then nods slightly.

ANITA We’ll see.

EXT. NYC STREET - DAY, SCENE 8

Anita looks away, processing this revelation.

ANITA I thought we were creating something beautiful.

NICK takes a deep breath.

NICK Can we still try? For your aunt? For us?

Anita studies Nick’s face, searching for sincerity.

ANITA For her… yes. But we have to do this together, no more hiding.

Nick nods, a sense of relief washing over him.

NICK Together, no more secrets.

anita i think we are almost done with scripy

nick let us submit to the producer

There’s a pause as Anita senses the weight of his words.

ANITA Of course! What do you need?

NICK (taking a deep breath) I want to make it more personal, more… me. But I’m stuck. I could really use your perspective.

Anita leans forward, intrigued.

ANITA I’d love to help! How about we meet up tomorrow? We can brainstorm together.

NICK (relieved) That sounds great. Thank you, Anita. This means a lot to me.

.. NICK So, I was thinking about starting the show with a story about my first audition. It was a disaster, but it’s where it all began.

Anita nods, taking notes.

ANITA That’s a perfect opener! It’ll set the tone and show your vulnerability.

Nick takes a moment, then looks directly at Anita, determination in his eyes.

NICK I want to incorporate music that reflects my journey, too. What if we use original songs that speak to those experiences?

Anita’s eyes light up, clearly excited by the idea.

ANITA Absolutely! We can create a soundtrack that evolves with the narrative. It’ll help the audience feel every twist and turn.

Nick leans closer, his enthusiasm contagious.

Scene 45: Bill Shows Amy the Theater (Small Theater – Day) (Bill takes Amy to a small, intimate theater.)

Amy: Absolutely. You’re going to own this stage.

Bill: (Smiling) Thanks, Amy.

Bill: (Touched) Thanks, Amy. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Scene: Amy and Bill Share a Quiet Moment (Small Theater – Night) (Bill and Amy sit in an empty theater, looking at the stage.)

Act 3: Rekindling Hope and Partnership Scene: Amy Helps Bill Rehearse (Amy’s Apartment – Day) (Bill is pacing in Amy’s living room, attempting to perform a monologue from his solo show. He’s visibly tense.)

Amy: (Watching closely) You’re holding back, Bill. You need to let go and really connect with the words.

Bill: (Frustrated) I’m trying, but I just can’t seem to get it right.

Amy: (Stepping forward) Close your eyes. Picture the moment that makes you feel the most vulnerable. Now, say the lines again.

Bill: (Takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, then delivers the monologue with more intensity)

Amy: (Nods, satisfied) That’s it, Bill. That’s what I’m talking about.

Scene: Amy and Bill Visit an Art Exhibit (Art Gallery – Evening) (Amy and Bill wander through an art gallery, taking in abstract paintings.)

Amy: (Laughing) I never understand half of these paintings. It’s just a bunch of colors thrown together.

Bill: (Playfully) Well, maybe that’s the point. Sometimes chaos is the art.

Amy: (Smirking) Says the man who’s writing a solo show about chaos.

Bill: (Touches his chest, mock hurt) Hey, my chaos has a purpose!

Amy: (Laughs) I know it does. It’s just nice to have moments like this, where we’re not stressing about shows or auditions.

Bill: (Pauses, then nods) Yeah, it really is. I think we both needed this.

Scene: Amy Introduces Bill to Her Producer Friend (Café – Day) (Amy and Bill sit across from a producer in a trendy café. The conversation feels a bit awkward.)

Bill: (Trying to mask disappointment) I understand. Thanks for your time.

(The producer leaves, and Bill slumps in his seat.)

Amy: (Reassuring) Hey, don’t let this discourage you. We’ll find someone who sees your talent.

Bill: (Sighs) It just feels like every opportunity ends up being a dead end.

Amy: (Determined) It’s not a dead end—it’s just a detour. We’ll keep pushing until we find the right person. You’ve come too far to give up now.

Bill: (With a faint smile) You’re right. I’m grateful for you, Amy.

Amy: (Smiling back) Always, Bill.

Scene 45: Bill Shows Amy the Theater (Small Theater – Day) (Bill takes Amy to a small, intimate theater, with rows of worn-out seats and a small stage.)

Bill: (Excited) This is where I’m planning to perform my solo show.

Amy: (Looking around, smiling) It’s perfect, Bill. It’s got that intimate vibe where your story will really connect with people.

Bill: (With uncertainty) You think so?

Amy: Absolutely. This place has soul—just like your show.

Bill: (Smiling, feeling reassured) Thanks, Amy. I wasn’t sure, but hearing you say it makes it feel real.

Amy: It is real, Bill. And you’re going to own that stage.

Scene 75: Bill with Amy – Promenade – Night (Support System Solidified) (Amy and Bill walk along the moonlit Brooklyn Promenade, gazing at the Manhattan skyline.)

Bill: (Sighs) I still feel like I’m miles away from where I want to be.

Amy: (Pauses, then stops walking) But look how far you’ve come. You’ve created something from scratch, Bill. That’s huge.

Bill: (Smiling) I know, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that I’m still falling short.

Amy: (Places a hand on his shoulder) You’re not falling short. You’re climbing, step by step. And even if it’s slow, you’re moving forward.

Bill: (Touched) Thanks, Amy. I don’t think I’d have made it this far without you.

Amy: (Smiling) And I wouldn’t have made it this far without you, either. We’re in this together, remember?

Scene: Amy and Bill Share a Quiet Moment (Small Theater – Night) (Bill and Amy sit together in an empty theater, staring at the stage.)

Amy: (Quietly) It’s kind of surreal, isn’t it? How much we’ve put into this.

Bill: (Nods) Yeah. Sometimes I wonder if all the struggle is worth it.

Amy: (Looking at him) It is, Bill. The struggle is part of what makes the victory so sweet.

Bill: (Smiling) I guess you’re right. I’m glad we stuck with it.

Amy: Me too. And no matter what happens, I’m proud of what we’ve built.

Bill: (Softly) Me too, Amy. Me too.

(They sit in comfortable silence, reflecting on how far they’ve come and looking ahead to what’s next.)

[puriwaves]

Chaiti Ghoda is a lively and popular folk dance from Odisha, especially performed by the aboriginal fishermen tribes like the Keot (Kaibarta). "Chaiti" refers to the month of Chaitra in the Hindu calendar, which spans from March to April, and "Ghoda" means horse in Odia and Hindi.

The dance has its roots in a local legend where Lord Rama, assisted by the Keot fishermen in crossing a river, gifted them a horse in gratitude. This story is central to the dance's theme and the prop used—a beautifully painted wooden horse, decorated with colorful clothes.

In the Chaiti Ghoda dance, the fishermen, called Rauta, perform the main dance while their wives, called Rautani, join as co-dancers and singers. The performance typically features two wooden horses, one black and one white.

This dance is part of a larger festival celebrated for eight days in honor of Vasuli Devi, the primary deity of the fishermen tribes. The festival takes place from the full moon of Chaitra (March-April) to the full moon of Baisakh (April-May). Celebrating this festival is a way for the community to seek the blessings of their deity, Vasuli Devi, highlighting the dance's cultural and spiritual importance.

Alrighty let’s answer some of these

So I’m hoping the word you were looking for was dashboard for the car thing lol that’s the only thing that came to mind.

I also just had something come to mind with the letters what if after writing everything out feelings and all he burns them in the fire he like so much kinda like getting it all out of his head and then watching it burn 🔥🔥🔥

I get it lol I don’t speak another language so when you brought that up it made so much sense (props to anyone who can speak more then one you are amazing!) so what came to mind after reading that is I could see Russell also going to outside sources to learn as well like books, websites like duo lingo that teach you and google but Russell would hype Vinnie up as his main teacher to make him happy and excited that he’s needed and that he knows something Russell doesn’t and he can finally teach him something for a change.

He would definitely try to learn Hindi but I feel like it would be asking Sunil curse words first and once he got that down it would be other things like hello, I love you, bye,wanna cuddle? Things of anything else that he would use daily.

His hair has always been back and forth with me I’ve pictured it long, med, short in different styles I feel like for me there are other times I can see him with long hair! But I can’t help but picture his little short cut over anything. But question for you do you picture him falling more with his long hair tripping wise? I also love the fact that the long hair idea would give him so many style options in general I can also see him rocking the man bun, braids ect.

Ok the watch thing came about when I got the idea that since Russell already messes with inventing electronic things it only made sense that he would have the idea to solve a problem that they were constantly facing when Vinnie would more often then not have to get his temperature taken or be brought indoors for a bit to warm up and everyone being worried about him even though he’s oblivious to the danger he puts himself in because he just wants to be play outside with minka and pepper in a snow.

~Alright the toxic moms/girlfriend/ women will probably be it’s own thing~

I hope I didn’t miss anything let me know if I did haha

Hello, it is I, talking endlessly about my blorbo again

Yeash, I think it was that - dashboard, sounds right. English hard ;-; plus it's not like I know anything about car parts anyway, but yeah, probably that, he puts his pretty feet on that :]

Oh yes yes, a classic but it works nicely with that headcanon that he likes fire and seeing things burn :) burn those feelings away aha. I actually used to not believe this whole "write your feelings and they won't bother you as much" but then I started writing fanfics and you know what? There were certain plots that were haunting me for long long time, but then when I wrote a fic about them those thought stopped coming so often, so I can comfirm that writing about your feelings in a journal or something will actually genunely work. It worked for fanfic scenarios for me at least, they jut kinda dissipated uuu

Yeah yeah, I think Russell would definitely have to use other things to learn properly. I mean, there's a difference between knowing how to do something and knowing how to teach someone to do it, like I know how to swim, but would I be able to teach someone from 0 how to swim? Nah, I doubt it. Oh, but him hyping Vinnie up as his main teacher is absolutely precious! Vinnie just wants to feel important and needed, you know? And you're so right! That would be probably first time when Vinnie knows something that Russell does not and that realization would make Vinnie feel so blissful, since it's usually the other way around, I can absolutely see that.

Yeah lmao he would absolutely ask about curse words first, definitely. I can just imagine Sunil being like: "You want to learn Hindi? Oh, that's great, so "hello" is-." and then Vinnie interrupts him with, "No, no, how is "fuck"?" "...What." "How do I say fuck in Hindi?". And I just love the indication that Vinnie asks on a daily basis "wanna cuddle?" yes yes, that's important to know.

Oh me too, I think he looks great in all sorts of hair styles and lenghts, but the long down one is just my favourite and how I primarly imagine him. Would he fall over more due to his long hair is a good question actually. But no, I don't believe so, I never thought about that really but I wouldn't say so. It's not that long to really get in his legs' way, it is however easy to get his fingers tangled in his hair for Vinnie if he wants to scratch his back or example. And yes yes, his hair being long gives him soo many style options and I think Zoe (being Zoe) and Minka (being the group's impromptu hairdresser) would love trying out different hairstyles on him. He's the best option since literally five of them have short hair and Pepper who has long hair (shorter than him though) does not let them just sit her down and try our different styles for hours, Vinnie does though. Vinnie hair is important~

Yeah, I remember your headcanon that Russell makes robots so he already knows something about mechanics like that, good good, yes, it makes sense. W a i t. Ideaaaaa. So if it checks his temperature what if it also announced out loud if his temperature was really low or really high, like dangerously. And then, at some point when he's with Russell and let's say they're about to kiss (going with Vinnie x Russell) that watch is just loudly "Tempearute dangerously high" and Vinnie's like "p[skdaspjod" because it basically just announced out loud that he's flustered. Oh yes, Leffee likes that idea.

Alright, that's all, I don't believe you missed anything :D. The one I was most curious about was the toxic women in his life part so I shall wait for that ^^.

Week 16:-Logo, branding

What is branding?

Branding is basically promoting our product through other medians such as poster, a tagline, or a logo to help create awareness and a target audience for our product. 

Name:

We started the project with a working title as “a father to a daughter” but after finishing the script we thought the name did not suit the script so we changed it to “if only you were there”. This name justified our film and gave the audience the right amount of knowledge about the film. 

Logo

We have selected this as the product’s logo with a crumpled paper as the background because that is a crucial prop in our film. As in the film, there is a scene where Anya throws the crumpled paper and it hits Namit. Afterwards, Namit goes towards Anya and asks her if this crumpled paper belongs to her, she immediately refuses and leaves the conversation mid-way. This was used as a metaphor suggesting that the crumpled paper is actually Anya’s life.

Color

Blue, purple and white. The backdrop color of the poster to fall in a more cooler shade of colors that is more of blues and purple because blue signifies cold, isolation while purple signifies fantasy, mystical and ethereal that perfectly matches our story given the fact that our films includes a daughter mystically clashing into her divorced father after almost 14 years and then reuniting with him and that can be nothing, but mystical. White signifies peace and innocence. 

Slogan

“So Close, Yet So Far” is a song by Elvis Presley. That is the slogan of our film to signify even though Namit spends time with Anya at the bus station, they both yet don’t know about their relationship. 

Image

This is the overall aesthetic of our film. 

Typography

The fonts used in our social media page, our film’s title and obviously the logo that is two headline signifies a bold yet simple font done to represent the simplicity of our product. The simplicity of our product as in we have kept the story of our product very straightforward and simple without actually having any explicit or implicit meanings. Another font that is used is samarkan, which is inspired by the Indian traditional language “sanskrit” used to give the viewer the ideal language of our film that is Hindi with a couple of dialogues in English.

In conclusion, it was a productive week with us being able to finish and better plan the marketing of our advanced portfolio.

[kradogsrats]

This is very much not a setting that has a decipherable conlang, which can be good or bad depending on how you feel about recreational linguistics. It's entirely aesthetics—the symbols on the mirror are cribbed shamelessly either directly from the writing system for Sanskrit and Hindi, or another fantasy setting that used that system for their "runes."

If they couldn't be bothered to make a real language for the mirror, arguably one of the most important props in the entire series, with its own subplot about deciphering the runes on it... I'm not looking for translatable meaning in anything else.

since I'm, y'know, patently insane, I spent the last two entire days going through the entire damn show, plus Tales of Xadia, plus the graphic novels, all to collect examples of every fucking instance of writing or writing-like symbols clearer than a scribble

you can now review the fruits of my labor: @xadianglyphs

Six!

Summary: It's India vs England. World Cup.

It's canon that Steven loves cricket, so here's a blurb for all my desi girls<3 I'm a hyderabadi telugu-speaking person, so this is going to have hindi and telugu in it okay? Translations next to the words, beware we have some swears

tagging: @whatagaydumbass @luvsersi @messers-moony-lupin @just-laufeyson

"Babe, don't you think you're overdoing this?" Steven gestured to the face paint and jersey you were wearing.

"What do you mean? Steven, it's the World Cup, it's a huge deal! Come on, it's starting!" you exclaim, patting the sofa as he sits down, stunned at this new side of you.

"All right." he sits next to you and kisses your temple.

"I can't believe we're watching cricket." Marc groans from the mirror.

"Shut up Marc." Steven replied, eyes glued to the screen.

-------

"YES! HELL YES, VADA PAV YOU ABSOLUTE TREASURE!" you scream as the skipper hits a six.

"Who the hell is 'Va-da pa'?" Steven asks, immensely confused.

"Rohit Sharma, bubba." you kiss his cheek.

"But why do you call him Vada Pav?"

"It's his nickname, love. Look at the TV."

---

"PICCHODA!(idiot, dumb fellow) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU DUMB IDIOT, WHY ARE YOU EVEN IN THE TEAM?"

Steven and Marc both watched you, stunned. You were normally so sweet, and to hear their sweet girl shout profanities in a rage was scary. And a bit endearing but that's not the point right now.

"I love her." Marc grins as you hit your forehead in exasperation.

"Yeah, I know, mate." Steven keeps his eyes glued on you, concerned.

------

"Go, go, go, go, go come on, Bhuvi get him out it's the last wicket come one, get him out get him-YES! JUST YES, GOD WE'RE CHUTNEY'ING YOU GUYS." you shriek in happiness and whistle as India wins the match and Steven groans.

"We just thrashed you guys." you laugh as you fall back onto the sofa next to Steven.

"Yeah. You did." Steven replies, his eyes soft, "I've never seen you so hyper like this. I love it. Marc does too."

"Aw thanks, bubba. I love you, and Marc too." you prop yourself up on one elbow and kiss his cheek, letting your head fall onto his chest.

"Chuntey'ed you guys." you murmur.

"Sorry, what?" Steven asks.

"Love you guys." you smile innocently.

this is so not my best work, but hope you like it<3 please comment and reblog<3

BTS Reaction || S/O Swearing In Another Language [Request]

A/N: First of all if you can speak another language props to you cause I can barely speak English and I’ve been speaking it for 24 years also I don’t speak any of these languages so if anything is wrong please tell me haha

SEOKJIN: (Yiddish) 

For a while you had been teaching little bits of Yiddish to Jin whenever he asked you to, he found it great when he could insult one of the boys and they would have no idea what he was saying to them, 

"Teach me another one." He begged as he laid beside you in bed one night, you rolled your eyes playfully at him trying to think of something you could tell him, 

"Gay Kocken Offen Yom." You stared at him as he tried to figure out what you had said but he shook his head, 

"You'll have to tell me, all I got was "ocean" at the end there." You giggled softly before explaining what you said to him, 

"It's just a phrase, I said 'Go shit in the ocean', it doesn't really mean anything but you said to teach you something." He began saying it over and over again until he had the pronunciation perfect.

YOONGI: (Hindi)

Yoongi was familiar with the Hindi language since you would frequently use it around the house whenever you got the chance to, even teaching Yoongi and Namjoon a few phrases whenever they wanted to learn something new so when he heard you yell out in Hindi it was no big deal until it was followed by a loud smashing sound, 

"Maa-dar-choo!" You screamed out before a loud smash sounded, Yoongi lept up from the sofa and raced into the kitchen to find you running your hand under the cold tap and repeating the word over and over again. 

"What happened?!" He questioned as he saw glass on the floor with spilt food all over the place, 

"I grabbed the dish when it was hot," You hissed, whispering the same phrase under your breath as the cold water cooled your skin down.

"What does Maa-Dar-choo mean then?" He questioned as he cleaned up the floor trying to distract you from the burning pain you had in your hand. 

"Mother fucker," You laughed softly looking at your hand to see if you needed a doctor but it was nothing more than a small burn that would heal from home.

"Swearing in Hindi," He tutted playfully as he shook his head, 

"Hey, you swear in Korean all the time." You nudged him as you began helping him clean up.

HOSEOK: (Polish)

Ever since you and Hoseok had gotten back from food shopping he'd locked himself in his home studio doing something, you figured he'd gotten a random boost of inspiration and decided to leave him while you packed everything away at home and made some dinner for the both of you. Hoseok had been acting weird since you swore in the middle of the supermarket, a man grabbed your ass not knowing that Hoseok was with you and you swore at him maybe he was embarrassed about it. 

"Hobi? I made us some dinner," You whispered as you walked into the studio, he turned around in the chair was a red face. At first, you thought it was angry but then you noticed he was laughing and laughing very hard, 

"What's so funny?" You whispered, laughing softly since his laughter was so contagious. 

"You told him he was a fucking asshole?" You bit down on your lip remembering that you swore in Polish in the middle of the store, yelling out " Jebany dupek ," which literally translated to "Fucking Asshole," it explained while Hoseok was laughing so hard. 

"I had no idea what it meant so I came back to look it up," You groaned laying your head on his shoulder while he tried to get you to teach him how to say it properly.

NAMJOON: (Greek)

You and Namjoon hadn't been dating long when you got into a small meaningless argument over something you could no longer remember but the both of you were so heated it continued to build over nothing until he finally gave in and walked away from you,

"Malaka," You mumbled under your breath not thinking that he would be able to understand you but he started laughing as he turned to look at you. He knew you were in a fight but hearing you call him an "asshole" in Greek he couldn't help but start laughing.

"xeris oti katalavaino?" You blinked at him as he said "You know I understand?" and you couldn't help but join in laughing with him. 

"I thought I could get away with it," You whispered, kissing his chin as he kissed the top of your head. 

"Not quite, maybe learn another language." He winked before going off to order you both something to eat.

JIMIN: (Swedish)

Jimin was in awe of you as you began ranting to him in both English and Swedish, switching between the languages right in front of him as you continued to ramble about a driver in front of you that had cut you off in the middle of the road, 

"He nearly hit me! The idiotic- Agh! - Hjulet Snurrar Men Hamstern är död!" You yelled out as Jimin stared at you, blinking as he tried to think of what you could have said but the only word he thought he would have known was Hamster but nothing made sense if you had said Hamster. 

"What?" You questioned as you could see how confused he was, his eyebrows were pressed together as he tried to work it out. 

"What did you say...The Swedish part, I didn't catch it." You felt your body heat up in embarrassment but you repeated what it meant to him, 

"The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead...Just means the guy was stupid," Jimin blushed as he kept trying to repeat it, promising he was going to use it for Jungkook one day if he ever got the chance to.

TAEHYUNG: (Spanish)

"Come Mierda," You spat out at someone that began yelling at Taehyung for nothing, the man stormed off while Taehyung watched you closely trying to figure out what you had said in Spanish. It always amazed him whenever you would switch to a different language but this time he knew that it couldn't have been a good thing that you had said and he was interested in knowing what it was.

"What did you call him to make him storm off?" He laughed as you sat down beside him in the restaurant again, the two of you were trying to have a nice evening but the man began yelling at you both for sitting too close, for being too loving to one another when it had nothing to do with him. Then the man began attacking Taehyung for no reason and you lost him, 

"I called him a shit eater, I don't think he knew what it meant though," You laughed softly reaching forward for your drink.

JUNGKOOK: (Bulgarian)

Jungkook was laughing while you and Jimin bickered over who was cheating in the game of Uno that you were having, there was a power outage in the city so you and the boys were making the most of it while you could.

"That's cheating!" You yelled out as Jimin placed down a plus 4 to end the game on, of course, it sparked the debate on whether or not you were allowed to or not. 

"Jungkook!" You whined as he took Jimin's side, Jimin smirked at you smugly so you threw the cards down and began mumbling in Bulgarian thinking that none of them would be able to understand what you were saying but Jungkook started laughing loudly as soon as he heard you mumble, 

"Kon da ti go natrese," Jimin began demanding to know what it meant while Jungkook died of laughter on the sofa, 

"T-They told you to go and get fucked by a horse," Jimin pouted before storming off in the other direction while Jungkook continued to die of laughter on the sofa.

nb: photos not mine. 

are you at this stage in your life that more than being stylish, all you want is to wear comfortable clothes? 

I do. Especially if you live in Manila where the sweltering heat is tantamount to entering the gates of hell! (alam nyo naman exxag ang inet dito) 

So yun, eversince Uniqlo na ang damit ko, lahat like shirts, shorts, boxers, jogger pants, long sleeves for work, etc. 

Funny kasi most are gifts from the holidays (and I know some of those are recycled gifts you fucktards!)  the rest I buy in tranches, for example I would buy those heat tech leggings and shirts kahit na ang tagal pa ng alis namin or I buy spare shirts in case someone sleeps over diba?  And I admit I am accumulating alot from the store. 

I guess it has something to do with the fabric so comfortable to wear and at the same time, cost-effective. Ako kasi wala akong alam sa fashion. matter of fact, if you open my closet, tatlo lang ang kulay ng damit ko, plain black or grey for work (kasi nga darker colors gives a semblance of a slim figure (somehow lol)  white cotton shirts pang tulog and  fourth  yung pink kasi nga “LetLeniLead” pa din tayo lol.

I admit I feel envious whenever I see stylish people passing by. but given my age, I would rather stay safe kasi nga you know how  we pinoys can be so judgmental, right?  

However, props to the sensible people out there who can wear  non-conventional  clothes and look street smart at the same time! I mean look at the Japanese peeps, so blessed a society, a guy can wear a crop top in Harajuku and be utterly kawaii and  no one will give a fuss. sana pati sa Pilipinas ganyan yung character development lol 

Perhaps, the next time I shop, I will attempt to wear something beyond my comfort zone. But  certainly  no crop tops or skirts. Hindi pa kaya ng powers naten yan.

Some iconic moments that happen during MAMA 2019

Her massaging Mingi's neck and back when his back was hurting from watching the show in a uncomfortable position🥺🥺🥺

When she tried to hide away from Hongjoong when receiving Worldwide Fan’s Choice so she wouldn’t have to speak in front of everyone, but he literally dragged her and made her speak 💀💀

But she did fabulous and even spoke in both English and Hindi

She representing Indian atinys 🤧

She went viral when she had a wardrobe malfunction with her jacket sleeve during their performance but played it off so professional

Her sleeve was ripping off and was hanging around her arm until it finally slipped off

She didn’t have time to hide it since her part was coming up, she used it as prop when she sang her part is Good Bye Baby

She made it seem like a handkerchief swinging it around then tucking it in the side of her shorts before continuing the group dance

She went from 👁👄👁 to 💃🏽 real quick

Her face became a meme

Talented Queen👸🏽

She play it off so well people thought it was intentional

She went on vlive later and told fans that it was not part of the plan

She also did a little cart wheel and flip then gave a devilish smirk to the camera😈

Her and Ryujin hugging each other after each of their wins🥺🥺

They were just being each other’s #1 hypewoman for the night

Her and Wooyoung fanboy/fangirling over BTS

I mean she was basically fangirling over everyone there

Like she knew the choreo and lyrics to every song and was just jamming along

Basically everyone was swooning for her by the end of the night especially a certain someone who could not talk their eyes off her😉

wasteland, baby! || kol mikaelson - chapter six

Summary: Kol makes a deal with the Hollow to bring revive the first woman he ever loved. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned.

Trust’s Note: Please like and reblog! I hope you enjoy.

❝ what am i now? what if i'm hoping you'll come around? what if you're someone i can't live without?❞

NOT ONE HOUR AFTER KOL HAD FOUND HER IN THE QUARTER, Aniya was sat on the edge of his bed, hands folded as she twisted the rusted bronze ring on her left finger. She let her gaze fall on Kol, who was in the bathroom, twisting water out of a small white rag. She bit the inside of her cheek, pulling at the skin on her fingers. They hadn't said anything on the walk home. To be frank, she wasn't even sure they'd looked at each other. She hadn't wanted to.

    Kol walked back into the main bedroom, and kept his eyes fixated on the walls as he handed her a warm washcloth. "This should help with the nerves."

    Aniya hesitated, but took the cloth from him, holding it in her hands. "Thank you."

    It was odd, seeing him in such a different form. Aniya had sworn centuries ago that she knew Kol. That she could predict his actions, read him like the back of her hand; but she didn't quite know who this boy was. He'd gone out of his way to bring her into his bedroom, and though she hadn't known why at first, she realized it now: he had wanted to help her. Though he no longer possessed the same healing herbs and Earth magic that he'd had before, he still tried to help her. It dawned on her that perhaps she didn't know him quite as well as she thought she did.

    "How many times have you passed?" Aniya asked, staring down at the cloth she'd wedged between her fingers. As if it had been her hands that needed cleansing. "Died, I mean. How many times?"

    "I've lost count," He admitted. "There was the first time, when my father drove a sword through my heart when he and my mother turned us into vampires. Then, there was the second, when this doppelganger and her brother decided to kill me -- and it was odd, considering I'd known the original. My brother, Finn, hexxed me once, when I inhabited the body of a witch. I believe that was the last time?"

    "I'm sorry, doppelganger?" She questioned. As far as she was concerned, there hadn't been any doppelgangers in the village. "Who was the original?"

    "Tatia Petrova."

    Smoke poured from Aniya's ears the moment he'd said her name. She clenched her jaw, squeezing her hand into a fist. As childish as it sounded, Aniya had always been envious of Tatia Petrova. She'd been married, of course, to a Viking husband when she was much younger; but he'd died in war. Aniya had only met her a few times, but she'd seen her out with Niklaus and Elijah in the village.

    For some reason, she couldn't stop the jealousy that formed every time Tatia so much as stood too close to Kol. She'd tried to blame it on the fact that Elijah and Nik had fallen in love with her, but she'd realized it the day she saw Tatia dancing by a bonfire one night. Tatia was free. She had no husband to weigh her down, no arranged marriage or rituals to keep track of, no death hanging above her head on her eighteenth birthday. Kol had never shown any interest in Tatia, but if he had, Aniya was sure he would've been much happier.

    "Tatia," Aniya nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat and further picking at her wedding ring. There were moments when she felt as though it shouldn't have belonged to her in the first place.

    Kol glanced at her. "Who gave that to you? Was it the human you've been visiting?"

    "No," She quickly shrugged him off. Henry didn't deserve to be put in danger because he'd made the mistake of becoming her friend. She hesitated, but pulled it off her finger, holding it out to him. He'd engraved it before their wedding, and she'd engraved his; though, from the looks of it, it was likely that she would never see his ring again.

    The Mikaelson furrowed his brows and took the ring, flipping it into his palm. To be blunt, the metal work was terrible. It was uneven, thicker towards the back and thinner at the front. It was bumpy and chipped towards the edges, though they weren't so sharp that Aniya would hurt herself. It was a wonder how she work the ring so comfortably, though. Upon closer inspection, he noticed messy words carved on the inside.

    'मैं आप से बेहद प्यार करता, amor vincit omnia,' It read in tiny font. 'I love you ahead of everything else,' in Hindi, and 'love conquers all,' in Latin. As Kol studied the tiny piece of jewelry, he could feel static building in his brain. His vision began to blur, a low ringing growing in his ears the longer he looked as it. It was as though his body was physically rejecting it. Only then did it dawn upon him that the material used to make the ring was oddly reminiscent of his father's old swords.

    "Did one of my siblings give this to you?" Kol asked, doing his best to ignore the supernatural migraine that was taking over his senses. Aniya bit the inside of her cheek, refusing to meet eye contact, and it clicked. "Do you expect me to believe I gave this to you?"

    "I don't expect anything from you, Kol," Aniya said with a sigh. She took the ring back from him, sliding it back onto her finger with ease. In truth, she was beginning to feel its loss. "I never have."

    She set the cloth down beside her, standing in an effort to return to her bedroom. Kol caught her wrist, and before he could speak, his vision faded to white. Aniya watched his eyes go blank, and he was motionless. A few seconds passed before it occurred to her that he was looking through one of her memories. She all but snatched her arm away, holding it close to her chest as Kol struggled to regain his grip on reality.

    He looked as though he'd been pulled out of water, sucking in a deep breath. He blinked rapidly, as though he were trying to focus his vision on a specific image. Unfortunately, that image had been Aniya.

    "What did you see?" She demanded, tightening her grip on her wrist. He'd looked into her memories, and there was no way for her to know what he'd seen or heard. Regardless of whether he meant to look inside her head, it was violating nonetheless.

    Kol cleared his throat, taking several steps back.  If her memory had served him right, he had been the one to give her that ring. He had been the one to ask her to marry him, and he had been the one to hold her close when the priest declared the two 'man and wife.' His gaze softened at the girl in front of him, her long dark waves and ebony eyes contrasting her brown skin. It occurred to him that if the moon smiled, it would resemble her. In the rising sunlight, she left the impression of something beautiful, yet annihilating.

    He winced at his own thoughts, his teeth snapping together when he clenched his jaw. He sneered at her, "What was that?"

    "I couldn't tell you, Kol, I don't know what you saw," Aniya hissed.

    "I married you," Kol whispered, his eyes falling to his left hand. He remembered a bronze ring he wore on his left finger during the first half of his immortal life. He was never quite sure where he had acquired such an object, but he supposed this explanation was as good as any. It must've been hers.

    Still, he swallowed the lump in his throat. His mouth had gone dry, and the sides of his head were pounding. Surely she was simply a witch -- a powerful one, if she was able to fool him so easily. There must have been records of him wearing it, and she had found them and decided to deceive him.

    "I am not lying to you," Aniya said sternly, realizing what he must have been thinking. She let her arm fall to her side and took a step closer to Kol. "I could never lie to you."

    Kol watched as she raised her hand to him, holding it next to his face. He narrowed his eyes at her, and she held her breath, waiting for him to lash out at her. If he were his father -- or hers -- perhaps he might have. But instead, he held her wrist in his and leaned into her touch, ignoring the electricity that ran through his body the moment they touched. The static grew more prominent as Aniya showed him her memories, and he swore the world around him began to glitch.

    He watched as a younger vision of him brought a younger Aniya to a hidden tent in the woods. The two were still dressed in their wedding attire, and it dawned on him that he would be watching their consummation. Young Kol kissed the girl passionately, holding her in his arms, as though he were afraid she would disappear if he didn't. He had stripped her gently, lightly tugging on the pieces of clothing she wore to ensure she was all right with it being removed.

    Their laughter was drawn out with ringing, piercing Kol's ears before he finally pulled away from Aniya's touch, stumbling to the floor. He groaned, clutching at the sides of his head as he waited for the pain to subside.

    "Kol," She whispered. Aniya took a step toward him, but ultimately decided against it. The magic she possessed now would be useless in the face of whatever had hurt him.

    Several moments passed before Kol was able to prop himself up against his bedframe, the migraine beginning to subside. Aniya had taken the wash cloth he had given her and was able to run it under hot water before she offered it to him. Still, she was sure to keep her distance, afraid that she would hurt him again.

    "I can help you with your magic," Kol said after a moment. He glanced at her, waiting for her expression to change. "I'm rather well-versed in teaching young witches--"

    "We're of the same age," She cut him off. The corner of his mouth twitched, and she fought the warmth that was rising to her cheeks. "I passed away at eighteen."

    "And I at nineteen," Kol said with a dry chuckle. It was rare that he spoke of the day his parents turned he and his siblings. He wasn't even sure what his mother had been planning until he noticed the doppelgänger blood beside her grimoire. Still, it was comforting to have Aniya's dry humor, regardless of the consequences at times. Regardless of how confused he felt just being in her presence. "Let me help you."

    He understood one thing: the stars had demanded that he stay away from Aniya Grover. He'd been given every reason to stay away from her, every reasom to be cold and bitter toward her. Every reason to tell himself he was in love with Davina Claire, and he would be, for the rest of his godforsaken immortal life.

    And still, he felt a pull towards her. As if some part of him demanded that he stay close to her, and do everything to ensure that she was safe, and protected. He couldn't -- wouldn't -- bring himself to understand why. No. For now, he would help her. Teach her to protect herself and control her magic. He would keep her at arms length, because at the moment, it was all he could bear.

I've said it before and i will say it again  It is all a mixed Bag, Mixed Genres, Mixed reasons to suggest them right from the quality to acting to cinematography to story to critical acclaim to some just for PURE ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.  I makes these lists because I feel these features deserve love and appreciation and because some made me feel Proud and some just for pure entertainment factor .

Thambi|Jyothika, karthi|Tamil[Netflix] :From the Director of Drishyam(the original) An edge of seat thriller about a lost brother and her sister’s quest of finding him with humor and family drama included.

Unusual Halloween Movies

Tired of Jason, Freddy, and Michael? Want something new this year? Boy, do I have some treats lined up for you! I’ve used JustWatch to list the streaming options (though these are US streaming options; I maaaaay be up for some streaming fun on Halloween...). I’ll tell you right now, this list can almost perfectly be broken into three categories: Horror-Comedy, Sci-Fi Horror, or International Horror.

American Mary -  A medical student drowning under tuition debt finds a lucrative practice when she enters the world of body modification. ngl, I remember liking this movie but it’s been a bit since I saw it, so for the CONTENT WARNINGS I’m going to straight up rip the MPAA here: Rated R for strong aberrant violent content including disturbing images, torture, a rape, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and brief drug use

Ava’s Possessions - Ever wonder what life is like once all your demons have been exorcised - literally? Now that Ava is free of the demon that once possessed her, she’s out of a job, down a few friends, and facing charges for the acts of violence her demon did. The only way to get out of trouble is to go to the demon-equivalent of AA. CONTENT WARNINGS: mostly blood and bad language; some mild sexual content 

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon - A journalism grad student interviews a young man in training to be the next slasher killer, ala Jason/Freddy/Michael. An absolute treat of a movie for anyone who loves slasher films; it’s about 3/4 mockumentary, 1/4 actual horror film when she realizes that, no, really, he’s going to go kill all those co-eds. CONTENT WARNINGS: Blood, gore, naked boobs (”Ugh. Is that REALLY necessary?” “Now, Taylor, who’s telling this story?”), sex, occasional panty shots (because, again, slasher films). 

Bubba Ho-Tep - OH MAN another one I had to go back and add in ‘cause REALLY NOW. Elvis is in a nursing home (at least, he says he’s the real Elvis) and he and JFK (who is played by Ossie Davis - who you will note is NOT white) have to fight off a resurrected mummy who sucks the souls of the living out of their assholes. Bruce Campbell stars. HOW IS THAT NOT AWESOME ENOUGH FOR YOU?! CONTENT WARNING: Um... look, I think you kinda already know what sort of content to expect given what I just told you about the story.

Bulbbul (Netflix Original) -  (Hindi Language) During the 19th century Bengali Presidency, something - or someone? - is haunting the woods around a lord’s estate, killing men in gruesome ways. The lord has left his estate in charge of his young wife, while his younger brother, who’d been away studying in London, returns to hunt down whatever is causing these mysterious deaths. CONTENT WARNINGS: child bride, blood, and what Netflix calls “sexual violence”, meaning a rape scene so graphic (despite not showing any nudity or genitalia) that it is GUARANTEED to make you uncomfortable. The movie was written and directed by a woman, so there is nothing intended to be “sexy” about this at all. If you can make it through that scene, though, there is a definite payoff for it. (Or should I say “payback”?)

Eli (Netflix Original) - A young, incredibly sick boy with a fragile immune system is brought by his parents to a clinic for an experimental treatment that may be their last hope. But all is not as it seems within the walls of this place... perhaps literally. CONTENT WARNINGS: mostly just language, a few mild jump scares. People get set on fire at one point. No biggie. 

Errementari: the Blacksmith and the Devil (Netflix Original) - (Basque Language) Based on a Basque folk tale. Eight years after the First Carlist War, a government official comes to a small, impoverished Basque town asking after the blacksmith. Everyone tries to warn him away; the blacksmith is an evil, evil man. But he is on the trail of some Carlist gold that might be in the smithy, and the prospect of the gold wins him some helpers. And while everyone is distracted by that, a young orphan girl manages to get onto the blacksmith’s property. And what she finds there, no one could have expected... CONTENT WARNINGS: I took a screenshot of Netflix’s list of warnings just because it amuses me:

[sings “One of these things is not like the others...”]

Europa Report - Look, I really can’t recommend this enough for fans of found-footage features and people who can stand slower-paced, constantly-building terror. An international mission is sent to investigate Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. (Those of you who are fans of real-world space exploration know that Europa is considered a prime target for extraterrestrial life within our solar system.) Contact was lost with the mission for a long time, until the data streams came flooding into Earth all at once. And what they showed... CONTENT WARNINGS: Like I said: slower pace than most horror/thriller movies. It builds slow and steady. There’s really not much in the way of blood and gore, though; an excellent example of terror without resorting to buckets of red corn syrup.

Event Horizon - Hellraiser in Space? Hellraiser in Space. Except the Lamentation Configuration is a fucking SPACE SHIP. Also, props for genre-savvy cast. CONTENT WARNINGS: EYE SCREAM. Blood, gore, and, no really, THE EYE THING. Did I mention the gore and the blood? Oh, and language. And blink-and-you-miss it nudity & sex.

Grabbers - Strange creatures are attacking a small Irish coastal town and the only way to protect yourself is... to be drunk? CONTENT WARNINGS: I mean, it’s Irish and everyone’s drunk, so bad language (by American standards) is a given. That’s... really about it, unless you have a tentacle phobia.

Green Room -  An up-and-coming punk band show up to play a gig and realize too late that they’re playing at a Neo-Nazi club. And when they happen to see something they... really shouldn’t have, it becomes an all-out fight for survival. Same director as Murder Party, though this movie was made later with a much better budget. CONTENT WARNINGS: Violence, blood, gore, and yes, some dogs die because they were trained to be vicious attack dogs by Neo-Nazis. :( Also, the most important content warning of all? PATRICK STEWART PLAYS A NEO-NAZI. (You think I’m joking, but for someone who grew up with him as Jean-Luc Picard, it is downright unsettling to see, okay?)

Life - Think Alien meets Europa Report (above). The six-member crew of the International Space Station are given a sample from Mars that might contain actual extraterrestrial life.  CONTENT WARNINGS: Blood. No, let me say that again: BLOOD. Sounds of bones breaking. Alien creature entering someone’s mouth and killing them from the inside (probably through a combination of choking them/asphyxiating them on their own blood/devouring their blood? It’s not clear, it’s just UNSETTLING).

Murder Party - This is what happens when snobby art school brats try to kill someone. (Read: it doesn’t go well.) Fuckin’ bop of a Halloween song over the end credits, too. Also, at least two characters are canonically bisexual. Same director as Green Room, though this movie was made first (with a much lower budget). CONTENT WARNINGS: bad language, blood, gore, nudity, mild sexual content (the nudity is supposed to be “artistic”). The dog probably DOES die, given the circumstances, but it doesn’t happen on screen, at least? And the dog gets some pretty decent comeuppance first... Also, 1000000% accurate cat representation. 

The Perfection (Netflix Original) - A former cello virtuoso (virtuosa?) gets in touch with her former teacher and meets his new star pupil. An instant connection is formed between the two women... or is it? (Yes, there are lesbians!) CONTENT WARNINGS: oh chaos, where do I start? Bugs under the skin, hacking off body parts, blood, gore, mild sexual content, sexual abuse, and the movie itself is complete and utter MINDFUCKERY. Did you like “Tales from the Crypt” as a kid? You’ll probably dig this. 

Ravenous - With apologies to all Native Americans, but at least they did get actual Native American actors for those parts (George is played by a Pueblo actor; his sister Martha is played by an actress of Menominee and Stockbridge-Munsee descent). A soldier who won a questionable victory during the Mexican-American war is given a hero’s status and then an exile to a remote fort in the Sierra Nevadas. Not long after he arrives, a would-be settler arrives with a harrowing tale, calling for help for what few survivors there are of his wagon train. The two friendly Native Americans at the fort issue warnings that go unheeded, of course. CONTENT WARNINGS: Blood, gore, cannibalism, PTSD.

Slither - James Gunn’s 2006 Feature Movie Directorial Debut! He wrote it, too. An homage to B-movie gore flicks like you’d see at the drive-in. I am just copying and pasting the IMDB summary ‘cause I love this movie too much to be concise about it: A small town is taken over by an alien plague, turning residents into zombies and all forms of mutant monsters. (Oh, but don’t forget the nasty, slithery blood worm things!) CONTENT WARNINGS: Nasty, slithery blood worm things. GORE, BLOOD, GORE, GORE. A very uncomfortable sex scene. Michael Rooker.

They’re Watching - An American TV crew filming what is essentially “House Hunters: Eastern Europe” stumble into superstitions, folklore, and... TERROR!! MWAHAHAHAHA. No, seriously, I LOVE how it’s basically “What if some HGTV crew wound up waaaaaaaay in over their heads, in a horrible and bloody way?” CONTENT WARNINGS: Blood, gore, and NO WI-FI.

[thesecoldfeet]

i still hate it kapag binibring up sa bahay yung past and act like nothing happened. i know okay naman na kami ngayon and all pero ganon siguro talaga kapag nabugbog ka emotionally, kahit okay ka na, kahit napatawad mo na, may sting pa din kapag babalikan nyo yung mga time na yon.

mom keeps on blaming other people when sa totoo lang enabler naman kasi sila. naforgive ko na mga may kasalanan sakin pero that doesn't mean na pwede tayo bumalik sa kung pano tayo dati.. esp if wala kang character development.

wala akong pinagsisisihan sa ilang taon kong pagsalo ng responsibilidad na hindi naman akin kasi madami naman ako natutunan pero syempre may parts lang na kung may katulong ka lang talaga sa pamilya mo, mas bearable eh. props lang din talaga sa friends at kay a kasi andyan sila for me. ibaon nalang natin sa limot yung mga panahon na yon, iregalo niyo nalang sakin, fam.
