[artemis-moonsilver]

Opinions No One Asked For™️: Palia NPC Edition

Auni: I love this kid. I want him to think of me as a cool older sister or cool aunt. I bring him bugs every chance I get

Ashura: I want him to be my dad. Genuinely love him. Serious contender to be my Shepp

Badruu: He really turned the puns up to 11. I love him. Also want him to be my dad. And possibly my Shepp

Caleri: I wasn't too sure about her, but after getting to know her, I feel like we have quite a few similarities. Definitely want to be her friend. Could she be my Shepp? 👀

Chayne: I find him so calming. He also feels dad-like to me. 100% want him as a support figure/father figure regardless of who I choose as my Shepp

Delaila: Love talking to her. Really want to get to know her better at this point (but 100% want her to win all the prizes at farmers markets/festivals)

Einar: Absolutely adorable and I love him. Only platonically tho. I will give him as many Gils and shiny rocks as he wants

Elouisa: I wasn't sure at first, but I LOVE her unhinged theories. I want to be her best friend. I will investigate all the paranormal things with her. Contender for my Shepp. Girl let's go ghost hunting

Eshe: So snobby. So bougie. So bitchy. I wish she could be my Shepp 😫 (if only because it would be entertaining)

Hassian: First impressions? What an asshole. After some time, I am...intrigued. I want to figure him out. I want to know why he is the way he is. Also fucking love Tau, the gooodest boi

Hekla: Honestly... she freaked me out a little for a long time. I'm slowly coming around though

Hodari: Listen, I get it. I see where you all are coming from. But man's just not my type 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jel: Oh Jel, my beloved. I'm not exactly subtle about it. This man is my husband. Sad, skinny, pathetic, dramatic, goth guys are My Type™️. Would marry him like, yesterday 🥀😫🪡🖤😍

Jina: At first I wasn't sure, but the more I talk to her, I'm like, "Jina, my bestie." I'm a PhD student. I feel you. Also, WOMEN IN STEM, HELL YEAH!!!! I have a feeling we're gonna be great friends

Kenji: Not a fan of your extremely privileged life ("Have you tried inheriting property?" 😐😐😐) or the invasive chapaa situation... but I also don't dislike him as much as I thought. I feel like he's playing a role he doesn't really want to, but still enjoying/expecting the high life for little to no effort

Kenyatta: She should be my best friend. I was put off at first, but she is the coolest. I see quite a few aspects of myself in her

Nai'O: I feel like he's the sweetest boi ever. I'm both like, "He deserves better than Kenyatta" and "Kenyatta is good for him." Perhaps the most wholesome NPC

Najuma: I also want to be the cool older sister and/or cool aunt that she never had. This kid is a badass and smart as hell. I wish my friendship with her was better already

Reth: This man. I love him. I'm not sure if it's platonic or romantic yet. All I know is he's one of my favourite NPCs to talk to. He's funny, he's flirty, he's got a Tragic Backstory™️. I'm here for this soup boi whether he wants it or not

Sifuu: Two words: Bad. Ass. It's a crime that we can't romance her. I really want to ask her to be my Shepp, but I'm not sure it's a good fit

Tamala: I'm sorry, Tamala besties, but I just don't like her 😭 I really wanted to like her so bad, but her aggressive flirting paired with her unwillingness to consider me a friend/equal just rubs me the wrong way

Tish: Absolutely beautiful person. I want to be her bffl. That is all

Zeki: Crime Cat, my beloved. He is the most entertaining Shepp option (imo). He's got an eye patch, a gold tooth, and shady practices. I find him amusing. I want him to like me. Share his (dubiously acquired) riches with me. Please accept me into the black market. I won't tell, but I can't promise I'll participate (I probably will 👀)

[coralinnii]

Thanks for answering my ask.... If you don't mind me asking (again), who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/manhwa/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? And why you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before....Thanks.

Hmm it’s been a while since I care much about romantic relationships (yes, I see the irony of me, a primarily fluff writer, saying that) but there are some memorable ones that I still love for their dynamic. These are the 5 that I can really remember at the top of my head, I’m sure there’s are many iconic ones but these are just my personal “couple goals” people

1. Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist/Fullmetal Alchemist Brother (manga, anime)

Soulmates, More than Lovers

Yes, there is Edward and Winry and they’re great too but Roy and Riza, even when they weren’t officially canon? Oh wow, I absolutely idolised their dynamic growing up. They have to maintain a professional relationship as officer and superior but everyone can tell that they care so much about each other. It’s the trust between, it’s the way they understood each other so much and the faith they have of their partner’s competence. They bicker and annoy each other like old comrades but their bond goes beyond being brothers-in-arms, it’s the way they support each other knowing that they both wish for a world where no one has to go through what they did again. Riza believed in Roy not just because she cared about him but also because she truly believes in him making good on his word in building a better government, and Roy believed in Riza because of her integrity, that he knew she will never be swayed and keep him in track of his dream because that’s just the amazing person she was.

2. Sawako Kuronuma and Shota Kazehaya from Kimi ni Todoke (manga, anime, live-action film)

Friends to Lovers

While romcoms aren’t really my thing, this series was my favorite romcom growing up that I still remember it pretty well after all these years. No hate to the other shoujo animes but Kazehaya was the greenest flag and I can’t be convinced otherwise. He was genuinely kind to everyone, didn’t believe in the crazy rumours and saw Sawako as the sweet person she was, and be that supporting friend to her even when he could tell he had feelings for her. Kazehaya had better emotional awareness and understood how he felt pretty early in the series but never pushed the topic on Sawako when she was still new to a lot of social experiences. Sawako was aware of all the support he has given her and in response, worked hard to make sure his efforts weren’t wasted. It was cute, supportive, and the results felt so deserved and not abrupt.

3. Takeru Takahashi and Hikari Yagami from Digimon (anime)

Will they, won’t they, Childhood friends

I’ve been shipping even before I knew what shipping was. I didn’t know why I love them so much growing. Maybe because I really like the aesthetics, maybe because I’m a sucker for childhood friends, maybe because of all the connections of the crest of hope and light. I thought I grew out of this shipping phrase but nope! I went crazy over the crumbs we get from Digimon Tri. They are such a “Will they, won’t they” duo. I can see them work so well as friends as they do as a couple. They tease each other and are so comfortable together but they are always there for each other when either one of them goes through something.

4. Nomoto and Kasuga from She Loves to Cook, She Loves to Eat

Neighbours to ???

This is a fairly new series in comparison to everything else on the list, but I do love the characters of this series. Not only are the main duo relatable as individuals, they found support in each other. This is a personal plus, but watching Nomoto learning she’s an ace lesbian growing these sweet, wholesome feelings for her neighbour makes the dynamic stand out to me more since this helps show to whatever naysayers that believes that the feeding food part of the story is a kink play of theirs. Like dudes…what? It’s really nice to watch two realistic individuals in a grounded relationship (whatever it is at this point), while going through some heavy topics about societal standards.

5. Seo Dan and Seung Jun from Crash Landing on You (Kdrama)

Villainess x Conman

Seeing that Seo Dan was in the position to be the villainess because she was the second female lead and the male lead’s arranged fiance, everyone would think that she would be evil like all the other second leads in Kdramas, but NO! Seo Dan never outright harm the female lead but instead tried to spend time and win over the man that was her fiance. When she realized she couldn’t and her love is turning toxic, she chose not to continue the path of unrequited love and move on, even though it hurt her because she truly loved the male lead, her first love. Seung Jun was in a somewhat similar villain position being a close-hearted conman who’s not the type to stay for anyone. But he starts to fall for Seo Dan, and hated seeing her break because of a man who couldn’t see how amazing she was. This made me tear up to see that Seo Dan found someone that truly love her, and that Seung Jun found someone who he could truly cherish with all his heart. They got to be the realest and best versions of themselves with each other and were a couple that met the right person, there were just some mistakes to realize it.

Dear Y/N..

I was hesitating for a while before writing you this letter since I don't really know how to do it, how to use the right words and especially I don't know if a letter would be something you would appreciate.

I know that you have already seen tiktoks talking about love letters, that you were talking to me a little bit about it since I was curious about it. I know you were not talking to me about it as if it was something you wanted, but here it is… I cracked.

I wanted to try to write you a love letter.

I don't want to make it too long, since as you know, I prefer to reveal my love to you in voice message or face to face, but for you, i'm willing to make an effort <3

You are my one and only partner, Y/N. I want you to know that. You're my last one, especially. I couldn't ask for a better partner than you. You are the only person I would like to start my future life with later and have children. Sure, we are still young, but you see... you are the only one I would like to tell my grandchildren "This is her… This is the girl I fell in love with, when I was 21. This is her… my soulmate".

Am I being too cheesy? Maybe, but you love it. I know you're smiling through this letter and that thought makes me smile too.

I wish I could tell you how blessed I am to have met you, how happy you make me, but I'd rather tell you tonight at my apartment when we are alone.

Thank you for everything, my beautiful Y/N.

You are such a great person and deserve all the happiness in the world.

I love you.

I love you with all my heart and I hope I can still tell you that until i die. You don't know how happy you make me everyday when I see you.

Happy Valentine's Day, my love

by your pretty boy, oliver moy

Dear Y/N..

I am a terrible writer, you will know. Not a very romantic start, I apologize, but know that I've always had trouble writing love letters.

Ok, maybe the word 'always' is exagerated here..

'Until today' should be better, since this is my first love letter I've written in my life and all. Oh my gosh, sorry, this is so unorganized, I apologize.

Let's restart...

Happy Valentine's Day, baby.

I hope you'll like my little love letter that I, Sebastian Moy, wrote for you.

I've never been the kind of boy who would write letters, who would write them for fun, who would write my feelings on pieces of paper, but this year I thought I'd write you one, despite my lack of romance in these things.

I hope it makes you smile as much as you make me smile. You are one of the people who make me feel good when I'm sad, you are one of the people who make me feel better when I'm at my lowest, you are one of the people who make me feel 'new' when I feel ugly and bad. You are a person I have always wanted to have around.

In others words: You are like my role model. A person I always wanted to have in my life when I was younger. sorry if that sounds really weird, I write what's on my mind and this is what happens.

I like you, Y/N, and even if I don't always show it, I admire your strength and positivity towards the whole world full of problems.

I love you so so much.

I can't wait for you to tell me if this letter made you smile or cry. If it did make you cry, I hope it was from tears of joy and not from sadness because my letter sucked or something.

With much love and support,

Sebastian Moy (himself, baby)

from: justin phan

Dear Y/N…

On this special Valentine's Day, I decided to write you a love letter. Why? Because I saw it on Tiktok and I thought it might make you smile.

I had the idea to write you one in the past, but I never found the right time or the right words to do it, so I thought that today couldn't be a better day to deliver my love through pieces of paper.

I know that in the letters we have to compliment the person and how lucky we are to have the person, but I won't do it all, since I have a lot of things to thank you for and appreciate about you.

I may be cringeworthy, but only for you, my love.

(okay, sorry, that was really not good. I apologize, Y/N.)

So, what do I appreciate about you?

A lot of things.

One of them is your humor.

You have the same kind of humor as I do and I love it. I feel like any boring topic could turn funny with you. For example, I find that talking about bugs for 45 minutes could bore me, but I feel like with you, everything would be funny and super fun.

I feel like being with you, makes me a better person, makes me a better version of myself, that I am one of the luckiest guys to have someone like you in my life.

I don't say it enough, but thank you Y/N. Thank you for being in my life and accepting me as I am, for not judging me.

You are so caring, so funny, so special to me, so fun to be with, so creative. You are you and I love that. I love that you can be 100% vulnerable with me and vice versa. I love that you are always there to cheer me up even when I say I'm fine. I love you with all my heart. I truly do. You're the reason why I get up everyday and why my smile is so special. You're the reason behind it.

I feel like my letter is getting longer and longer and more cringeworthy. Sorry. I can't seem to choose the right words. Maybe you liked it? I hope you did. Tell me if you did, please. I feel like this love letter is not cute enough :(

I can't wait for tonight.

I love you Y/N.

Yours truly,

Justin Phan <3

from: ryan nguyen

Dear Y/N..

I would never think of writing a single love letter in my life.

Never.

To me, writing a romantic letter is synonymous with something loving that you give or do at a certain time in your life when the relationship is going well.

And I believe that this letter, the only one I'll ever write, belongs to you. It is only yours. Because I don't want any other lover in my life. I put all the love and affection I had for you in it.

I really hope it will make you smile and warm your heart, as you warm my heart every time you smile at me.

If you didn't smile at this sentence, I'm disappointed >:( I thought it was really cute.

I love your personality and the way you see things. I like how you look at the world and say "I want to make this world a better place". And I think you have succeeded. I'm not complaining, I love doing my job, interacting with the Stars, making music with Oli and filming lots of videos. I love it. But I feel like the world is becoming a darker and darker place for some people and I really feel like you're the one who shines the world. You are the sun and I am the moon. You are the stars and I am the warmth of the sky that warms you when you are cold. You are my other half and even though I sound really romantic and maybe cringe, I feel like you are a source of light to this world and make this world a more beautiful and peaceful place.

You are an inspiring person, Y/N.

You inspire me every day.

Even though I work a lot and stream a lot on Twitch, I want you to know that you are worth a lot to me, that you are someone important to me and that I never thought I would love someone this much.

I'm rather cold with people and let's say a little more discreet compared to other boys (like regie), but I assure you that my affection and feelings for you are very present and will be for the rest of eternity.

I miss you very much.

I can't wait to see you again and give you a hug.

I love you Y/N. I'm proud of you of what you've become and what you're going to be when you grow up. You are an inspiration and a source of positivity for many, including me.

Happy Valentine's Day my love <3

to: you

from: kane ratan

Dear Y/N.. How do I start this letter?

I would like to do something romantic like in anime or old romantic movies where does the boy write a super beautiful letter and the girl gets it and she's like "OMG!!!! YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE!!!" and she kisses him? Yeah, I listen to mushy movies sometimes, sometimes it happens…

There was a manga about a relationship that revolved around love letters. I think the name of the manga was "A Perfect Day for Love Letters". I would love to go and buy it. We could go together and make a date out of it! Like writing love letters to each other, danse to old love songs...

I'll be honest. I've never really written love letters. You're my first, and hopefully my last. Last in the meaning that I wouldn't want to write to anyone but you. Not in the meaning of the last love letter I write, since I'm sure it might make you smile to receive one from time to time without you expecting it.

I am writing this letter hoping to make you smile on this Valentine's Day. I know that tonight we are supposed to go to a restaurant together and celebrate this day together, but I also feel like it might make you smile if you received a little attention before we go out tonight.

I don't know what you're going to wear, but I know you'll be beautiful. You'll look stunning. And not just a little. You're always beautiful and I know you're probably reading this letter before you get ready and stressing about your outfit, but know that you're beautiful in everything and even if you were going to wear flashy blue pants with a purple dress with green polka dots and high-waisted mustard yellow shoes, know that you'd still be very beautiful. Your beauty is not measured, Y/N. It's impossible to do it.

I don't want to make this love letter too long, since I want to save some words for tonight, but know that you are someone who inspires me and makes me see the world in a different way than I usually do.

Thank you for always being there for me and always making me smile in any situation.

I appreciate you so much and can't wait to see you tonight. I really look forward to proving to you how much you mean to me in my life.

I love you.

from: darren liang

Dear Y/N..

I'm writing you this love letter since I thought it might be romantic and quite generous of me to do it like in the 40's movies or something. I think it was in the 40's? Was it? I think yes.

Do you remember the time when we met?

You were so beautiful. And you still are! Don't worry, it's just that I'm talking in the past tense. Well, present tense too. I know you understand what I'm trying to say!!! Sorry, I'm not really good into this kind of thing, but I hope you see the effort I put into you and showing you my affection and love for you with this little love letter that I made for you.

You were hanging out in the supermarket looking for tubs of ice cream since you had just been left by your boyfriend (what an asshole, by the way, plus he is ugly. Did you see how I didn't use the term "was"? lol) and that's when I saw you. You were so beautiful. So so so beautiful.

Justin dared me to go ask for your number, but since I had just seen that you had runny mascara (you didn't realize it, but you had a little bit under your eyes.. it was cute, don't worry baby!), I didn't want to. I mean, I wanted to, but I didn't want to bother you. But you came up to me and pointed me the freezer with all the different kinds of ice cream and asked me if I was tall enough to give your fav to you, since you were so short. And still are, baby. You're still short. But I like it. It feels like I'm holding the world in my arms. And you're my world *lip bite because I can do it*.

When I saw that it was you, I was in shock. Why? Because a hot girl with a black hoodie and messed up mascara had just talked to me and wanted me to help her because she was too small to get the ice cream?

I thought that was incredibly cute.

You are incredibly cute.

And you know the rest, we exchanged numbers because you said the strawberry ice cream was better than the cookie and cream. And we kept fighting and saying why ours was better than the other.

And I promised that we would each taste the ice cream together to determine which was better.

Needless to say, our choices were quickly erased when we tasted the coffee one. I thought it was going to be bad, but it quickly went into my top 3. It's really delicious.

That's why I'm inviting tonight (date not prepared, I know you like it!!) to an ice cream place. Dress sexy (as usual then since you always are *another intense lip bite*). I'll send you the address in texts.

Love you Y/N, happy Valentine's Day! Can't wait to see you tonight and take off your clothes- IM KIDDING, I KIDDING. Unless..

(im just kidding, pls don't be mad)

From Darren Liang, aka your favorite NSB guy (ilysm my pretty girl, you're the girl of my dream)

Dear Y/N…

I was thinking today about how much I love you, and how I don't tell you enough. So I wanted to sit down and let you know how much I am truly in love with you by writing you a love letter.

This letter will be nonchalant since I'm a nonchalant guy and I have an university by that name.

I still remember (and always will) the moment when you walked into Seb's party (oli told me you were his best friend? lmfao, i didn't know seb had hot friends like you..) wearing that stunning black dress. You were smiling so fucking hard. You were the light of Seb's party. I know it was his birthday, but still.. It felt like you were the main character of the party. You were so fucking hot and beautiful?? And still are, obvs. I knew immediately that I had to meet you. Otherwise, i would have regret it later. I went to the bathroom to try to summon up my courage and think of what to say. I didn't want to sound like an asshole, you know? I wanted to make a good first impression. I was totally tongue tied when I approached you. I was smitten from the very start. I was trying to stay calm in the outside, but in the inside, I was screaming.

And here we are a year later, and you still leave me weak in the knees. You also leave me weak in the knees when we do something naughty naughty, but let's not talk about that. For now, at least.

I truly think you are the most beautiful women in the world I ever seen. I love the feeling of your legs intertwined with mine and the smell of your hair and skin on me. I don't know which products you're using, but dang it! Your hair are so soft and smell so good. And your smile.. Damn it, your fucking smile. Your smile lifts my spirits on even my worst days. You're making me a weak man, Y/N. And I don't hate that. I love your laugh and your ability to find humor in every situation we're living together. I’m so grateful for everything you do for me: from the midnight snacks you give me when I'm streaming to the magnificent backrubs I can have when I'm tired.

I think what I'm trying to say is that you truly complete me. The last one year have been the happiest of my life. I can’t tell you how freakin lucky I am to have you in my life and being able to call you mine.

I will always love you, no matter what happens. I'll be absolutely true and faithful to you forever. I promise. And you know that I don't make promises when I know I won't able to make them come true.

I love you a lot and I can't wait to see you tonight.

Have a good Valentine's day, beautiful girl.

Regie Macalino (he's very nonchalant and sexy)

Since we're on the subject of npcs I'd like to give a mention to my favorite oni boy Takuya.

It's been a long time since Itto's character quest but after experiencing Shinobu's hangout, I've been plague by wholesome found family Arataki gang thoughts.

I kept thinking Takuya would basically be in Traveler's place around the squad, being the one trying to be responsible but ends up dragged into shenanigans anyways.

I'd imagine his relationship with Shinobu is a "your the only bitch I trust in this house" type of thing being the only other person holding any braincells (she low-key favors him more than the others sometimes but no one really notices cause my queen is subtle).

I have a soft spot for the Arataki gang in general as you can see.

But of course we can't forget about the sad priest boy Kasala who I keep throwing so much angst at.

Since you said dilf!Kasala here something:

If reader and Kasala had a child together before reader died of eleazar I can imagine how hard it'd be for him to not only process the grief but support their child going through losing a parent as well.

Maybe after Deshret's sacrifice, Kasala just lost all faith in anything anymore so he gives his child to someone trustworthy to take care of as he locks himself away to keep guard of a temple.

Kasala at end of his life, despite dying peacefully can't help but regret everything that happened to his family.

Helplessly seeing the love of his life dying before him.

Not doing enough for the last living remnant of their love for each other.

Letting his child loose both of their parents so soon because of his selfishness.

So as Kasala close his eyes for the last, his final thoughts were a hope for his little to be safe and forgiveness he knows he doesn't deserve.

Okay maybe Haitham isn't the only character I like to see cry at this point

Honorable mentions to Niwa who I can't help but feel like Kabukimono had a small crush on at some point.

I feel like Niwa's good with kids so imagine him and Kuni babysitting the children of tatarasuna together and at night he'll read bed time stories to some of them but Kuni ends up falling asleep to Niwa's voice too because of how comforting it is.

Mostly wholesome from me tonight.

- Vagabond Anon

Admittedly I have not done Itto's quest so I only know Takuya in a surface level but *pulling up pictures of him* Best looking npc in the game engine by far, they really made effort to implement him

But Itto's little found family is my favorite, it's like Mondstadt on a tiny level (adding in the three youkais from Akitsu Kimodameshi too, oh they're growing!) but on the back office it's actually Takuya and Shinobu holding the whole thing together hahaha Takuya being the Traveler, Takuya and Shinobu being tired parents, oh I love all of it

Hey when did I say dilf - YES DILF KASALA, MORE PAIN MORE REPENT

Continuing the curse of unhappiness down the line, how cool would it be if Cyno is part of the bloodline of his past self but their history has been lost thru time or whispered scarcely by his elders so as not to be discriminated in the age of the Akademiya ohhh

What if their child took on the temple duties after he died, or maybe Rukkha took care of them too aww why must we torment this unnamed child we just conjured

Also true, like a small possibility maybe innocently, Niwa supremacy in everything that he does. I want more Niwa content, he died too soon (fuck you Dottore) he's definitely the Tighnari of Tatarasuna in my mind, and Kabukimono is like Collei? Oh wow I'm starting to see parallels - ack I miss him so much, I'm gonna listen to his voice now-

The Unsung Heroes: Fodder for Cows and the Mission of Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaurakshashala

Cows have been an integral part of Indian culture and rural livelihood for centuries. Revered as Gaumata, they symbolize nurture and sustenance. Yet, when cows grow old and stop producing milk, many are abandoned by their owners, leaving them to roam the streets aimlessly. Their plight often ends in hunger, disease, or fatal accidents.

This grim reality inspired the foundation of Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaurakshashala, which has become a sanctuary for over 21,000 desi cows. Our mission is not only to provide these cows with food and shelter but also to restore their dignity and offer them a peaceful and meaningful life.

The Harsh Reality for Abandoned Cows

Abandoned cows, especially those injured, old, or disabled, face unimaginable hardships. They forage for food in garbage heaps, risk being hit by vehicles, and suffer from untreated illnesses. Many are chased away from fields or endure cruelty on the streets.

Before arriving at our gaushala, most of these cows lived on the brink of survival. Their existence was one of despair, with no proper nourishment or medical care. This is where Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaurakshashala steps in to change their story.

How Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaurakshashala Helps

At Shree Krishnayan Gaushala, our goal is to provide these cows with a second home and a second chance at life. Here’s how we make it happen:

1. Nutritious Fodder

We ensure that all cows receive a balanced diet comprising:

Chaff and bran

Green grass and wheat husk (bhusa)

Mustard cake and jaggery

This wholesome diet not only keeps them healthy but also helps restore their strength and vitality.

2. Medical Care

Our team of experienced veterinary doctors conducts regular health checkups. From treating wounds to addressing age-related ailments, every cow receives the care it deserves.

3. Safe Shelter and Freedom to Roam

Cows at our gaushala are sheltered in spacious enclosures and have access to acres of land where they can roam freely. This environment allows them to live peacefully without fear of harm.

4. Dedicated Caretakers

Hundreds of gausewaks (cow caretakers) work tirelessly to ensure that these cows are fed, cleaned, and cared for around the clock.

The Challenge of Fodder Supply

Caring for over 21,000 cows is an immense responsibility, especially when it comes to feeding them. The cost of fodder is substantial, and our resources often fall short of meeting the growing demands.

This is where your support becomes crucial. Every contribution helps us procure essential fodder, provide medical care, and create a sustainable future for these cows.

Why Your Support Matters

Supporting Shree Krishnayan Gaushala is more than a charitable act; it is a way to honor the invaluable contributions of cows to our lives. From nourishing us with milk to supporting agricultural activities, cows have played a pivotal role in human civilization.

By donating to our mission, you are not just feeding a cow; you are saving a life, spreading compassion, and contributing to the welfare of helpless beings.

Join Us in Our Mission

The journey of transforming abandoned cows’ lives is one of compassion and collective effort. With your help, we can ensure that no cow suffers from hunger or neglect.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

Donate Fodder: Contribute towards procuring essential food supplies for the cows.

Sponsor a Cow: Take responsibility for an individual cow’s well-being.

Volunteer: Spend time at our gaushala and experience the joy of serving these gentle beings.

Spread the Word: Share our story to inspire others to join the cause.

Together, Let’s Create a Better Tomorrow for Gaumata

Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaurakshashala is more than a shelter; it is a testament to humanity’s ability to care for its most vulnerable beings. Let’s join hands to ensure that every cow lives with dignity, surrounded by love and care.

Your contribution today can change a life forever. 🌾 Donate Now and be a part of this noble cause.

Why Food Distribution is Important

In a country as vast and diverse as India, many people still struggle to get enough food every day. Hunger is a serious issue, especially among the poor and underprivileged sections of society. Thankfully, several Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are stepping in to provide much-needed relief. One such NGO in India that is making a big difference is Niswarth Kadam. Through its charity food donation drives, it is ensuring that the needy receive nutritious meals regularly.

Why Food Distribution is Important

Food is a basic human need, and everyone deserves access to it. However, due to poverty, lack of resources, and other social issues, many people, especially in rural and slum areas, do not get enough to eat. NGOs like Niswarth Kadam play a crucial role in bridging this gap. They organize food distribution for poor communities, ensuring that children, women, and the elderly are not left to suffer from hunger.

In India, food security remains a significant challenge. Despite the country’s economic growth, a large part of the population lives below the poverty line. This is where organizations like Niswarth Kadam, an NGO for food distribution, step in to support those in need.

How Niswarth Kadam Works

Niswarth Kadam focuses on providing food to the needy in various regions of India. Their team of dedicated volunteers works tirelessly to identify communities that require help and organizes charity food donation events. Whether it’s in urban slums or rural villages, they ensure that food reaches the right people at the right time.

One of the key aspects of their work is ensuring the food distributed is nutritious and wholesome. They aim not just to feed the hungry but to provide meals that contribute to better health and well-being. Their efforts go a long way in preventing malnutrition, especially among children, who are the most vulnerable.

How You Can Help

If you’re looking for ways to give back to society, contributing to an NGO in India like Niswarth Kadam is a great option. You can donate funds, volunteer your time, or even help raise awareness about the issue of hunger and poverty. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make sure that no one in India goes to bed hungry.

Niswarth Kadam also accepts donations through their NGO for food distribution website, where individuals and organizations can contribute to their cause. These contributions are used to buy food and other essentials for the people they serve. By supporting an organization like Niswarth Kadam, you’re directly impacting the lives of those in need.

Conclusion

Organizations like Niswarth Kadam are doing incredible work in the field of food distribution for poor communities in India. Their charity food donation efforts are helping thousands of people, ensuring they get access to the basic necessities of life. By supporting an NGO in India like this, you can be a part of the solution to hunger and poverty. Together, we can make a difference and create a society where everyone has access to the food they need to survive and thrive.

[shdwtouch]

i like that you are always such a loving presence on the dash <3 i don't have much love to give, myself (i rarely feel love), and i feel awkward receiving it as well, so i prefer to send compliments on anon because i don't. i don't want the attention. i don't want people to see me as someone who is loving, because i'm not, and i get worried people will then expect it of me. anyway ignore this if you want no worries at all, but i do want to say it's nice to see someone with so much genuine love to give. <3

( as a note / for context, I received this the other night when I responded to the first unpopular opinion ask ! and as a note to anon, if you see this, I have included a response to your second ask under the cut <3 )

daw, thank you !! ; w ; I do try. like, I really do. I just. live by the resolve that I would never want people to feel like I have. I've felt... really low. been in really dark places, especially while in the roleplay community. and I honestly wouldn't wish that on anyone. everyone deserves love, support, and kindness. everyone deserves to feel seen and valid and wanted. it's... kind of awkward sometimes, honestly, but knowing that people see what I say and feel its intent makes it all worthwhile ! I try to be as accommodating and open-minded and, well, empathetic as I can. to say things I think people need to hear / see, and with the hope that my saying anything at all has helped another person say it, or not need to say it all. <3

as for you, I think that is valid ! and part of why I feel embarrassed sometimes, because I know that my flavor of love and support isn't one that everyone will enjoy. but I think that what you do is fair. and... to be completely honest. I think you situation is incredibly special. to rarely feel love but having the inkling to voice it anyway for the benefit of others... that is the sweetest thing I can think of. true, selfless love. because you aren't giving it because you expect anything in return, or because you want people to see you as a loving person... but because it is needed, or wanted. that is. incredibly wholesome, and you have my respect. just know that your kindness and love, even if anonymous, is valued and appreciated.

on the flipside, to know someone doesn't love or show kindness easily... but receive it from them ? that is truly special. intimate, even. and I hope the people around you know how incredibly special your care is, for that reason. (also, I don't meant to burst your bubble, and granted this is based on your anons alone, but... I would say you are a fairly loving and kind individual. I think the people around you would understand your position / situation and be immensely touched by the love you show them in spite of it. but I also understand your fears of it becoming expected, so I'm not judging you. it can be... exhausting when your love is expected by someone, even if offered freely. and I can definitely empathize with that anxiety on days I don't feel very supportive or don't have the spoons to offer the level of support I usually do.)

at any rate, I do appreciate your message. thank you, anon. ; w ; you have made me feel very valid and worthwhile in my efforts. <3

no no no ! that post had nothing to do with your message, I promise. I actually had a conversation with someone (that wasn't even really related to the post, tbh) that made me realize the post might have inspired insecurity in those who had read it, and I wanted to address that because I definitely didn't want anyone to feel bad for not sending positivity. I also realized after rereading the post that I had taken a very personal stance, and that might have implied a failure or fault in the part of my writing partners, which wasn't true. I think it can often be said we complain about what we lack before we first consider what we already possess.

and I don't want you to feel bad either ! that was not my intention. see what I have written above heheh I have a lot of respect for you and the love you show despite a lack of social energy, and I greatly appreciate you sending these messages, truly. <3

I think something that's always bothered me about society is just how cold it can be.

I mean, any time I've been distressed in some way, well, you'd think the natural reaction would be, "Oh, you're distressed. Will you be okay?" Nope! It either becomes an interrogation about WHY I feel that way, and people either not getting it and overcomplicating it (especially if it's related to existential dread or some horrible personal problem that can sometimes be related to abuse) or dismissing it as stupid, or not even asking and maybe just taking note of the fact that I am obviously someone who was born with a uterus, and so it must be those crazy girl hormones or whatever (misogyny is a beast that will just not die!)

If you get distressed a LOT, it's never seen as an indication of a pressing problem. You're just dramatic and like attention. Some people may even call you manipulative (usually a sign that they are a manipulative POS themselves when they project that onto you).

It might even be considered inappropriate in your close friendship to suddenly come forward about something that's a bit heavy. I've almost lost a friend admitting to something a bit heavy (they made it a point to act EXTREMELY disappointed in me), so I've since refrained from doing so.

So I haven't really found comfort from friends or family. What about romantic partners? They're supposed to be your number one supporter, right? Well, I've only had one. And I wouldn't exactly say that there was the deep, wholesome connection I thought there'd be, like there is in the books. In all fairness, I don't think they were serious about me and I have zero clue why they even wanted to date me because I just remember them being cold and distant the whole time, and not wanting to do ANYTHING that couples do. They showed zero enthusiasm upon seeing me, so obviously, they weren't very emotionally supportive either (they were the type to assume that crying=manipulation). Just, for whatever reason, wanted me to move in with them right away and get those adult responsibilities going (like having kids and all that), without actually forming a real connection. I mean, it was like this: they wanted marriage, even right when we started dating, but admitted at some point that we probably won't have a wedding. So in other words, nothing fun. No actual bonding experiences. No sign that they actually wanted to put effort into their relationship with me (while I was about ready to move with them to places I really didn't want to live, as well as do many things there way because they were allergic to doing anything my way). And now I'm afraid that this is just how relationships are. It doesn't sound REMOTELY appealing and I still haven't put myself out there again.

So in conclusion, human society seems kind of cold. Like, we just work to justify our existence, do random things to satiate our boredom, but only those of us who are lucky can actually form emotionally fulfilling relationships. Some of us just don't find that and are told to just deal with it. Like, we're not even allowed to be sad about it because it's "toxic" or whatever. Or we're told that we don't deserve it because we don't bring enough to the table, or that we aren't good enough, or that we must be terrible if people are emotionally distant with us.

Meanwhile, my dogs are always RIGHT THERE if I feel even remotely sad. They don't overcomplicate it or try to turn it into some elaborate thing. Just go, "Human sad, I'll make feel better!" and start getting affectionate. And funnily enough, it just works.

mazing group defending birdlife and biodiversity. Wonderful initiative by the Bird Club to flock to the islands and shield these bird species. BirdLife South Africa is an NGO targeted on the conservation of South Africa’s birds and their habitats.

So.... There are modders out there who work to create stuff, stuff that you don't need to play the game and it takes them time and knowledge but you don't want to pay them? Okay. Maybe i'm the one who doesn't understand the problem? They work, they propose a product that you are in no way forced to buy but you don't want to? Then don't buy it? People donnt work for free what is this the 1660? What is the problem someone explain.

So.... There are modders out there who create stuff unto their own volition, stuff they were never forced to put their time into... they took it upon themselves to create something for a GAMING community that they once upon a time had a passion for... and for some (NOT ALL), that passion has soured.... And now they EXPECT payment to be made for something that (for some "artists") are stolen from other 3D modeling artists, in addition to using EA's original code, original files to port it into the game and blatantly profiting off of a company brand, not to mention exploiting its fans... That's like walking into a friend's closet, claiming you designed it, slapping a Dior patch on it and selling it. ILLEGAL. It's honestly about time EA put this new policy out, finally realizing the abuse that was happening right under their nose.

And just to be clear, I'm specifically calling out perma-paywallers. And you are right, I don't want to spend money on their work, nor have I. I know full well how to vote with my wallet, and I've done so. To creators in this community I feel are genuinely talented artists and deserving of support for their efforts. I pledge to a few different patreons for early access, knowing full well those items will be free evntually which could save money.. but I do this not because I'm FORCED to put my money in to get the items, rather because I'm in love with their work so much that I WANT to support them. That's literally it. If people love your work, they will support you if they can! Art was never meant to be monetized. Hobbies were never meant to be monetized! Especially in a world where hobbies are the only escape and solace the majority of people have to cope in this insane society structured around money and productivity.

So to answer your question, dear anon: The problem is morals. I cannot under my own conscious dump money into creators who have not only stolen art -- making profit off someone else's hard work -- but have also disrespected, doxxed, harrassed, and witch-hunted the people who actually supported them, calling others "poor" for not being able to buy their ridiculously overpriced pixels, crying about how Covid wrecked their lives the worst as if it didn't wreck us all, and throwing a tantrum over the latest devastation of a policy (which was always there) ruining their SOLE source of income that they never should have had in the first place.

@velveteen-mango Aww thanks alot! I’m glad i decided to make this blog!

@de-beste-persian-empire I’m not sure why it’s giving you trouble but i appreciate the sentiment. Thank you!

[zoobus]

the people saying jökër was going to inspire acts of violence (white supremacist and misogynist mass shootings? what?) - where on earth did they get that idea from??? Some people started saying that and writing articles with that thesis, what the hell inspired that thought??

The Dark Knight (2008) Joker was popular, beloved, and the actor who played him died before the movie came out, adding an extra air of tragic coolness to his character. It almost goes without saying that for several years after, each high school had at least four chuunis larping as Heath-Joker. Perception of this ranged from "annoying edgelords" to "future school shooters who should be treated as such." People figured this would be a repeat.

Because the Aurora shooting happened in a theater showing the third Nolan Batman movie, many presume the shooter was inspired by Heath-Joker. Afaict this is hearsay with nothing to substantiate it, but that's another tic for the joker causing violence box.

I could write about this point at length; as much as liberal/left circles proclaim support for mental illness, they are deeply uncomfortable with acknowledging mental illness as inconvenient, recurring, abrupt, personality affecting, sometimes worsened at random by no fault of the sick. It can make, yes make you a worse person. It's nicer to think you get what you fucking deserve, isn't it?

It would be nice if this was a reasonable ask. That a human withstand poverty, child abuse that ends in permanent disablement, gutted welfare services, living with your abuser, endless harassment of your disability, no chance at forming positive relationships, having the one dream that keeps you from shooting yourself shat on live tv by your hero, and still maintain a "good" heart. What I'm trying to get at is woke types are super uncomfortable with mental illness as an inescapable burden or prelude to harmful actions rather than an empowered journey. They can only interpret "a mentally ill person lashes out after a lifetime of systematic and personal violence" as "a ✌️mentally ill✌️ white man refuses to hold himself accountable, blames everyone but himself for his circumstances." Portrayals of negative acts impacted by mental health demonizes us or something.

Culture wars, clickbait, ragebait, easy e-validation. We are still in a period that rewards you for pointing out someone is a white male. Joker is a white man, Joker is ✌️mentally ill✌️, Joker is a terrorist, hmmm jogs my noggin🤔 Sure you could put in more effort but why would you, it's not like anyone reads past the headline anyway.

Not sure how impactful this actually is, but there's been a significant change in how people talk about the Joker and Harley Quinn, where his abuse of her is an Irredeemable hill he should never be forgiven for, while Harley is an abuse victim getting her mojo back by kicking the joker's ass with her girlfriend Ivy before going on to be gay, do crimes (wholesome). I have no idea how much anyone really cares about their dynamic given that Birds of Prey flopped, but I see the abuser/misogynist sentiment leak into discussions about the joker frequently, even when Harley isn't a character in the story. You can probably tell that I'm not fan of this shift.

We're never getting gun control. Why not scapegoat a movie? Why not blame the clown
