Rice Crisis Grips Kashmir: Surging Prices Leave Poor In Distress

Govt introduces reforms, consumers slightly relieved but say ‘it’s not enough’ Sheikh Mustafa BONIYAR, BARAMULLA: Sharp escalation in the price of rice – the staple diet in Kashmir – is compelling people from low-income groups to cut down on their daily grain intake or rely on unconventional grains like wheat and maize to sustain. The prices have almost doubled for all varieties of rice. Abdul…

Since you know like 10000000x more about the elven language than me, what are your thoughts about the meaning of the name Halsin?

I like this question, because based in interpretation*, the name does suit him! We're going to use what we have access to in DnD elvish, as Tolkien elvish is a different language entirely and they don't have much overlap.

We'll have to break his name into pieces, and that can be done a variety of different ways, depends what you choose to do. I figured easiest ways are: Hal - sin

Very cut and dry.

or

Ha - l - sin

With the "l" being an adjoining tonal letter. In both cases, "sin" would likely be broken up into a combination of "sy"or "syy" + "-in"

Now the meaning of the pieces:

Hal/Hol: "pale, weak" OR "precious" (Side note: Astarion's "The Pale Elf" might be said "Hal'kesir/quessir" - very close to "Tel'quessir")

Ha: "free, freedom"

Sy: "wild"

Suffix -in: "brother, sister, sibling"

So, directly, it could mean:

Hal-sin = "Pale/weak or precious wild brother"

OR

Ha-l-syin = "Free wild brother" (Which I would phrase more like "Brother of the free wild" or just "Brother of the wilds")

I am inclined to lean towards the latter definition/meaning, as I believe it suits him very well, and aligns with the relationship between him and Thaniel. Naming himself as a sibling of the free wild indicates that his relationship with nature is the forefront of his personality (nature being his very first friend), and indicates a closer connection than others might have. Judging by how Halsin speaks of his connection with Thaniel shaping who he was as a person, this may imply he's named himself after how intertwined it all is to his being. Familial familiar and inseparable.)

(It also sounds more in line of what he would name himself than the alt. - I wouldn't really assign the words "pale" or "weak" as something Halsin would name himself...

...unless he is implying, as he was most likely at the point where he was the last of his kin and the only child left, that he was the "weaker" choice of sibling to be left of their line. So "weak brother of the wild". Pales in comparison. But I feel like that's a stretch.)

FUN BONUS, in elvish, Halsin could have written his name like this:

Or like this (A variant of Espruar, the alphabet of the moon elves that was used to transcribe elvish, used around 1372 DR - since retconned. And since Halsin would have likely learned to write between 1147 DR and 1152 DR, probably not used by him, but possible he learned as he would have been around 120 by then):

*Disclaimer that DnD elvish, at its core, has had a very contradictory lexicon over the many years, and most words are drawn from 2e and 3e materials - elven also has several words for singular things, single letters that can change the meaning of a word or sentence entirely/thrown in to make a word flow better and have no meaning otherwise, and is a very tonal based language in that you could physically be saying one thing, but another elf would hear something entirely different in the intonation. Therefore, everything I write here is interpretive based on the materials we have access to, with a little extra HCing and logical assumption.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #Jemi gets asks #autistichalsin #sorry i just word vomitted #a side note: in regards to how halsin's name is pronounced #Rath (and a little Wyll) pronounces Halsin's name as “Hol-sin” which is absolutely a result of how the accent pronounces the short “a” soun #which could suggest that's an alternate way of saying it - but as Halsin pronounces his own name #with the 'a' sound i'm taking his pronunciation as how it's meant to be said #source: if you listened to anyone else about how my name is pronounced you would be pronouncing it incorrectly so tend to trust #the being named #basically dnd elvish is homebrew fuck it we ball but using the scraps we had access to in like...maybe four or five collections #and books - and how much of that is 'canon' is debatable - honestly take with a grain of salt

i wanted to paint him SO bad. he is very paintable. phone wallpaper and alternate version under the cut :]

In the end, all girls are like Barbies.

#revolutionary girl utena #barbie #random thoughts with kei the average #the barbies in barbieland are like rose brides but like. in the opposite direction. like in a Girlboss kinda way. #like they both represent versions of womanhood but for different reasons. both are an unobtainable ''idealized'' version of womanhood #though the rose bride is more an ideal woman for men and barbies are the ideal from a woman's perspective #...does that make sense? #plus protag barbie and anthy both feel limited in their roles but push back against the idea of going against the grain & changing #bc the alternative seems so scary and so different from what they're used to at first #even if that's ultimately what's best for them

I finished Cadence of Hyrule today, and it is so, so good. 2D Zelda mechanics really do cross over so well with Crypt of the Necrodancer's gameplay, and it pays homage to so much of LoZ's history. Also the fact that you can just skip entire floors of dungeons if you have the right items is so sick. It's a genuine shame that, so far as I can tell, it didn't sell that well. If you've been craving a new 2D Zelda to play, I encourage you to pick it up if you haven't already. The rhythm mechanics are not that difficult to get used to and you can even turn them off if they give you too much trouble. I think there's also a demo, so if you want to try it before you buy, you can

#the legend of zelda #loz #cadence of hyrule #crypt of the necrodancer #if I get just one more person to buy this game; I will have succeeded #now; admittedly take my opinion on the difficulty of the rhythm mechanics with a grain of salt #since I did beat crypt of the necrodancer on aria mode #I basically 100%'d the story of cadence with the exception of the second items you can get form the minigames #because I did not realize that they had more to offer after the heart pieces #I'm gonna take a little break before I start up octavo mode #haven't decided yet but I think I'll alternate between routes in undertale yellow and the other story modes in cadence of hyrule #I would just like to add that king dobongos is the best music pun in the game #also if you just want more crypt of the necrodancer; it does offer modes that are basically just more of that without the overworld map #also also; the version of ganondorf in it isn't a bad guy. he's just an npc and wants you to defeat ganon

so okay ive been thinking a lot about the post war animorphs

in universe and in the fandom, everyone says that cassie is the only one who made it out of the war the most well adjusted and "normal", which does seem to be true in the sense that she's able to become a functioning member of human society (jake) and not milking her celebrity for all that its worth (marco), but i also wonder if that's only because she's throwing herself into her work to avoid having to confront her own trauma?

i mean, overworking oneself is not an uncommon coping mechanism after all

we dont know the intricacies of her schedule or anything but in the short few years since the war ends, we do know that cassie is an environmental/alien affairs activist, eventually given a spot in the president's (sub?)cabinet, and taking veterinary school night classes. thats a lot for anyone to take on in two/three years' time, much less a 16 to 19 year old ex child soldier who's seen and caused more death and destruction in three years than most people see in their entire lives.

im just saying, maybe cassie isnt that okay

I'm not gonna post that -_- too out of pocket

#but what I WILL whisper in the tags. And this isn't what I was gonna post. #is that I can now accept in my old age that this is part of what I disliked about Vivienne in Inquisition #after all the posts I saw gassing her up (or rather. Not gassing her up really. Not talking about her character at all; just discourse) #I was so sorely disappointed with what I got. And I think all the moreso because I can imagine what this crowd would say about her #if she were white. Because of how for example some talk about Anders (never ever ever forgetting people referring to Anders as a liberal. #Because liberal just means 'white guy whose politics I don't like' to these people) #my point being I try to take it with a grain of salt that I'm sure fandom is really really weird about their dislike for VIvienne #and that she's not *remotely* held to the same standards as say Cullen who remains my inescapable enemy #But nonetheless. She fell short of my expectations. I mean everyone in Inquisition does I hate this game for a reason #Cullen remains at the top of my shitlist and the fact that his haters are so few and far between is proof of how awful fandom is #but you know. But I know. But you know. You know? It's complicated. I know better. I don't. It's just a feeling. You know? #I have further complicated feelings about mother giselle and barris and the whole thing but that's a little more unfair and personal #there isn't an alternative that would satisfy me let's say

my friend was telling me abt how she saw moulin rouge with the riverdale guy but apparently midway through the show they switched him out with the alternate lmao? so i got curious and apparently in the beginning of his run he wasn’t even singing the high note in roxanne and they played a recording from derek klena’s first night…… 🫢

#i don’t even rly care abt moulin rouge that much but that is. SCANDALOUS #i just saw it in a random comment on reddit tho so. grain of salt. my friend said the alternate was much better tho

Never watched a single episode of Seinfield, so for me, when I hear the word "Kramer", my mind doesn't go towards that guy, but Kramer Associates from the novel "For Want of a Nail"; a Mexican transnational monopolistic corporation that after being rivals with the Mexican government, relocate to the far east; on where they don't just hold the headquarters for basically the company that owns literally a sixth of the planet, but also where Mexicans in the early 60's detonate the first nuclear bomb.
