Thank you to @missatan for helping with my gif obsession 🥺💖

#sims 4 #ts4 #sims 4 render #blender render #oc:wahidah #why is it giving Diwali 🥺😩#gif tw #flash warning #I was prepping for this for a little over a week and when i started I found out holi was a few days later so i ended up pausing #every year around this time she dresses in her late mother's favourite clothes and her late sisters jewelery and she dances #the inspo with the hands was also from me forgetting to hide a version of Wahidah while I was rendering and seeing that rang the bell #it took me forever to pose the hands cause my brain was not brain for some reason.#thanks to all cc creators #thanks to the pose creator is well for the first two poses (the second is on the left)#My renders

Yeah diwali is about firecrackers, diyas and new clothes and lanterns, but it's so much more. It's also about dressing up with your bestie while fighting over who was late, and watching how every balcony is adorned with festive lights flickering, it's about jhumkas and bindi and about making tiny paper lanterns, and clicking 17k pictures, and smiling and laughing with family, and complaining about calories to mum while sneaking out another kaju katli. Diwali <3

Happy Diwali, Saha! *Sneaks up behind Mihir and jumps on his back, then laughs in triumph*

"Be careful-" Mihir was forced to bend ever so slightly forward by ths intrusion on his back. It didn't hurt him so much as surprised him.

"Do not do that. That is very impolite. You're lucky I can handle it, but don't try this again alright? As for today... Happy Diwali." After the barrage of scolding, Mihir finally managed to crack a smile.

"I had almost forgotten... wondering why Nabin and Poltu were in such festive spirits. Thank you for reminding me."

#mazm #mazm hyde and seek #mihir saha #answered ask #When i tell you this ask reminded me diwali was today #Im a shame to my heritage/j

as I read Match Me If You Can by Swati Hegde, I'm pondering on the true desi girl experience being trying your damnedest to wear a different Indian outfit for every occasion while a guy just rolls up in the same kurta every time but you can't even fault him because he looks good in it 😭😭😭

#in the case of the hero in this book (mr. knightley basically)#he brought out the big guns for this diwali party #aka the kurta he wore when he kissed not!Emma during her sister's wedding #after which she promptly started crying bc she was afraid their friendship was ruined lolol #so....... maybe not the best reminder #or is it #swati hegde

i think there shld be some kinda local authority run app that is free & you just tell it where you live and/or work & then whenever you do smth that is gonna make a Notably Loud Noise such as fireworks or whatever the fuck it is they do in the industrial yard that makes the big whump sound, you tell the app before you do it & the app warns everyone else close enough to hear it. so then i do not have to have a brief but intense freakout cuz the degus started alarm calling & when i went to see them one of the girls didn't get up out of bed which is VERY uncharacteristic behaviour and also not getting up is one of the ways we knew our degu who passed unexpectedly was sick so i had to stare at her with my heart in my throat until i saw her move and then when she did move i heard another of the fucking fireworks that they were alarm calling about in the first place because she is fine she was just in freeze mode because of the unexplainable loud banging noises they all hate and i had not been expecting to hear

#yelling at clouds #it's diwali.#all my love to people celebrating a holiday but i only ever work out when diwali is off hearing the fireworks #and fireworks. are bad.

Hi Jalebi,

Hope you are doing good. Have been going through your blog and found your recent posts too. Even though its been more than a decade since ipkknd, i am very happy to know that there are people out there who are still immersed in this fandom, as like me. :)

So my ask is the situation that comes after diwali and Arnav got to know about kushis engagement. What do you think Arnav's thought process was? I understand why he got engaged to La after the almost kiss, but he literally told kushi that her existence doesn't matter. And he knows on some level that kushi has feelings for him and his actions will hurt her(atleast i think he knows). Is there not a moment where he tried to think from her shoes? What do you think he expected her to do after getting engaged to another woman and downright rejected her? Did he not realize that it's kind of big deal for a woman who gets shocked when their fingers touched, to let him come this close? No anger here, just trying to understand our complicated main lead of complex feelings.

Thanks for answering.

Hello Anon,

Thank you so much for loving the blog! I think I've answered a similar question here :) Also, Khushi is the another woman in this case - not Lavanya. He didn't expect her to do anything - he was processing his own volatile emotions.

Arnav does NOT think what Khushi is feeling. He never thinks what other people thinks. It's how he is/ He slowly learns the effect his words have on the people around him and restrain the way he callously speaks to people.

The big deal wasn't Arnav and Khushi exploring intimacy (just because someone is experienced, it doesn't lessen what first touch feels with another person and similarly just because someone is inexperienced it doesn't mean the first touch is everything).

The big deal was Arnav-Khushi were going to kiss when he's:-

a) committed to Lavanya

b) no proper conversation about what equation they share

c) are fundamentally incredibly different especially in terms of commitment, love, lust and relationship

Arnav and Khushi aren't even in love at that point and Khushi wants love at that point. Khushi means a lot for him, he has an irrefutable corner in his heart for her but what they share is very complex and as the name of the show suggests - nameless.

He was going through multiple emotions. He called himself weak for losing his resolve in front of lust for a woman he has started to deeply care and the terrible circumstances at hand. Lavanya was getting bullied and character assassinated for his rash decisions (it's what Anjali often tried to make Arnav understand that as a socially traditional family it'll be tough to integrate La into the family while keeping her dignity and respect).

The flight feelings for Khushi, and a loss of control, is what he terms as a mistake and this man is known for making mistakes when he has no idea what's happening to him.

Best,

Jalebi

We need a general election so fucking badly I do not want more racism that will inevitably come when our new out of touch fucking pm inevitably fucks up this country and people choose to see him only as the asian Hindu pm and not as a rich sell out tory.

Like nothing unites this country more than the working class hating on the tories but there's still so much racism seeped into the bones and those people take any and all opportunity to believe that asian folks aren't people worth their time or country and I just Cannot Deal with more racism.

I don't have the link rn but seriously anyone who's in the UK who follows me, if you haven't already, please please PLEASE sign the petition for a GE. We need it to be discussed in parliament, we need it to happen. Even if you are a conservative yourself (in which case please stop following me I hate your party) you should since it's just a whole mess right now and you honestly need to see that.

#ree has thoughts #uk politics #i don't deserve to have to deal with this shit when it's diwali #i very rarely get political on this blog since it's my escape from reality but I'm making an exception #not just bc of racism but also bc trans rights are being threatened and that's not okay #and the Tories shouldn't be allowed to make themselves richer and the rest of us poorer

they’ve started selling kaju katli again at the supermarket for ramadan rip my bank account

#wwolf.txt #it’s so expensive but it’s so worth it but I eat it so fast #I should make barfi again it was good when I made it for Diwali and it’s cheaper to make it #they had milk cake and I bought that too though. no self restraint.#whatever still cheaper than going to an actual sweet shop somewhere…
