This page in the Monster Tidbits makes so much sense after the Dryad Episode.

I believed that the reason why no one laughed at Chilchuk's travern humour was because it was too crude. Well, maybe that's partly true for Marcille and Laios.

But now I think the actual reason why Senshi didn't laugh was because at that point, he truly believed Chilchuk was still a child and that children shouldn't be privy to jokes like that 😭

Ramadan is coming up and I can’t stress enough how much Palestinians have never got the chance to experience one normal Ramadan for 75years

You may not have been subjected to this, but as a person from an Arabic country, every Ramadan from every year there’s always headlines of Israeli iof soldiers or Israeli extremist settlers attacking Palestinians during Ramadan, especially Palestinian worshipers trying to pray in the al aqsa mosque

It’s happens almost every single year

Ramadan is suppoused to be Muslim people’s month of worship, of Baraka and it is very important to Muslim people

But Palestinians never ever experienced a normal Ramadan because Israel attacks them Viciously

Almost

Every

Single

Fucking

Year

And I will dare and say that Israel does it on purpose, it does it every Ramadan on purpose

And now, this year, with Ramadan being only a few weeks away, I doubt that they’ll have a normal Ramadan, not in the West Bank, and not in Gaza

All what I have to say here is that Israel will still follow this trend, something bad is gonna happen this Ramadan, keep an eye on Palestine during Ramadan

Cut Through The Noise

Even as the strike ends, the Palestinian genocide has not.

Now more than ever, there are so many conflicting voices. People with their own self-serving, hateful motivations speak over us, and sometimes our own voices can turn against us. We may feel like our voice isn't enough or we aren't doing enough.

This is why it's so important to learn to shut down that noise. No matter how much people scream that what we're doing is useless or a waste of time, keep talking. Keep talking about Palestine. Keep talking about Palestine for as long as this goes on, both online and in real life. If Israel won't end their genocide, we won't end our protest.

Below is a list of what you can do and the poem transcript.

Check and spread this post which contains a comprehensive list on how to help Palestine.

Learn about the history of Palestine and how the displacement and eventual genocide of Palestinians started in 1948.

Learn more about Palestine, the myths surrounding it and the arguments debunking it.

Here's another post detailing more charities you can donate to

And most importantly of all: Don't Stop Talking About Palestine! However you interpret it as – creating art, talking to the people in your life, emailing and calling your representatives, even reblogging and making posts – make your voice loud and clear!

— Poem Transcript —

There's a lot of noise right now

Screams dehumanizing poor souls

Groans from those in willful ignorance

People digging deeper and deeper holes

And it's overwhelming, it really is

I do not blame you

Sometimes you feel that your voice is too small

I feel that way too

But despite that, I urge you to keep going

And demand for what's right

Even it sounds like a whimper

You're still joining in the fight

And soon the rest of us will join

We can stand together here

We can cut through the white noise

And make our message clear

Mussoorie Day - 3

We went to Landour!

Specifically for the old English bakery there. We waited for an hour but honestly, it was so worth it. Not only for the sweets but also for the pictures I took of Leona there.

The interior was really cute and because it was basically a house from ye old days, the inside was much warmer. We went in the afternoon so we couldn't appreciate the difference much, but if you visited in the evening, it would've been a much cosier atmosphere.

But enough about that, let's take a look at Leona.

Here's him delighted at the madeleines and lemon tart (they were really good).

Then we ordered the honey ginger lemon tea and the carrot cake. We also ordered a chocolate eclair and the Landour chocolate cake for takeout. I might sound like a broken record, but everything was genuinely SO good.

Here's him on the olden armchair. We got a few glances but honestly, look at him! He's so smol in a chair so big. I love this picture.

That is all for today! Have a good day/night.

Mussoorie Day-2

We went out to see the different attractions in the area. It was road trip time!

The sky was so blue and there was not a single cloud in sight except for those covering the mountain peaks.

First up was Kempty Fall. We had to take a ropeway there because the hike uphill was no joke. It was interesting how the waterfall itself was sectioned into various levels. Collected some herbarium specimen from around this area.

Look at him! So happy to be here!

The flow of water was so strong, we were constantly being hit with the mist.

Next, we went on a small hike to the Santura Devi Temple. The hike was really pleasant and not tiring at all. Was able to collect some more herbarium specimen from here!

Next stop was the monastery near Dalai Hill. We didn't go to the Buddha Temple but we took pictures from the monastery instead.

There was another dog basking in the sun so obviously I had to take a picture.

The same day we went to the Company Bagaan. Apparently it was built in 1868. It was really pretty and a few degrees colder because of all the trees there.

Also there was this cool car near the nursery.

That's all for today! Hope you have a good day/night!

Mussoorie Day-1

Pronounced "Mu" from mud, "ssoo" from soot and "rie" from retract.

I swear to god, it must seem like I'm a travel fanatic but I'm really not...it's just that the stars aligned this way. Watch me go into radio silence after this because I'll be at home until the next family trip.

With that out of the way- Mussoorie! Queen of Hills, in the lap of nature. Land of Ruskin Bond.

After a 2 hour flight, we landed at the Dehradun Airport. From there, we hailed a cab and it was another hour and a half until we finally reached Mussoorie.

Coming from the sweltering heat, it felt like stepping into an AC room. Except, it wasn't just a room...it was the air itself.

We didn't do much the first day. We just explored a few shops at Mall Road, which was quite close from where we were staying.

We visited the Cambridge Book Depot. It was both an amazing and a slightly precarious sight with all the endless stacks of books. It was a wonder how the staff was still able to bring out any book you wanted.

Next we went into a shop retailing Korean goods and I bought a handful of Pocky because I can't get them where I live.

One thing I absolutely love about visiting hill stations is the state of the dogs there. They are so fluffy! And huge too!

Then we had dinner and returned to our hotel. That is all for today, more scenic views to come!

Have a good day/night <3

The Dooars Compilation

Went on my curriculum mandatory excursion literally the next day after I returned from Varanasi. I needed a 48hr nap after so I'm making this post now.

Didn't take any pictures of my son on the train or any locomotive because I was paranoid I was gonna drop him or someone would snatch him away. But I did manage to take good pictures of him in other places!

First, we arrived at our resort which was inside a National Park. That meant we were in a buffer zone where animals could come out from the forest. We were always asked to go out in groups and use a torchlight at night. Thankfully(or maybe regrettably) we had no animal encounters except for a few peacocks and peahens.

We went out for a walk in the tea plantation right nearby. We weren't allowed in the factory though, unfortunately. Took some pretty pictures of my son instead!

The next day we drove up to Kalimpong and rested at an inn there. We could see Bhutan form where we were.

On our way down, we stopped in front of a small river. Pardon me, but I don't remember the name.

The next day we went to the Buxa Tiger reserve and Jayanti. When we arrived, the sky was clear. However, the longer we stayed there, the mountain slowly got covered with the clouds....it was so cool to see. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my son here.

The next day we set out for Lava and visited the Kagyu Thekchen Ling monastery there.

Unfortunately, I also forgot to take pictures of Leona here but I'm sure he enjoyed the view from my bag.

That is all! I've hit the picture limit and I don't really have anymore pictures of my Leona nui. I wish I could've included pictures of the plants I took there, but maybe next time...!?

Have a good day/night <3

Day 4 - End of Tirtha Darshan

Well, nothing much left to say. Today we'll go back.

Travelling with my nui was more fun than I anticipated. I took more photos than usual and in places I generally wouldn't.

Since boarding a flight proceeds the same way everywhere, I won't bore anyone. See you the next time I take my nui on a trip.

But not before a couple more pictures.

Have a good day/night.

Day 3

This morning we were determined and set out to eat some Varanasi Butter Toast...but it was already too late and all the sada makhan and rabdi was sold out. (⁠´⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠ω⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠｀⁠)

After some consolation, we then set out for Kalabhairava Mandir where the picture is from. On the line to the temple, a butterfly rested on our maalas. The inside of the temple was so cool; we even got to ring a bell at the entrance! I thought I wouldn't be able to reach it, but in the end I did it😌

We started feeling hungry again so we decided to have Kachori for breakfast. It was SO good! We bought Longlata from the restaurant we ate at and it was also really tasty.

That's all for today! We were tired so we didn't do much in the evening. Our flight back home is tomorrow so honestly, this is not too bad either.

See you next time~

Day 2

We went to Kashi Vishwanath Temple at dawn and since we didn't carry bags, I couldn't bring my nui with. In hindsight, it was a good thing because it was sweltering and my palms were sweating. My only regret is not being able to put him next to Nandi ji's ear. We went back at 6AM.

In the evening, we went to Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir where we weren't allowed our phones so I couldn't take pictures of nui.

Next, we went to Shri Satyanarayan Tulsi Manas Mandir where the picture is from. There was an animatronic Tulsidas near the entrance which I have conflicted feelings about.

While there, we went inside the Shri Ramkrishna Lila Jhaki where there were animatronics on the various event from Ramayana. It was more fun than expected!

Dinner was Kashi Chaat of course.

That is all, see you next time~

Nui's First Outing

(Well technically second, if you count the trip he took to arrive to me in the first place.)

He followed all the safety procedures on flight and enjoyed looking at the clouds through the window. After an hour, we arrived!

In the evening he went for his first Ganga Aarti. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures of him during the aarti since I was too engrossed.

Son in front of the Dashashwamedh Ghat!! He's looking so handsome🥰

That's all he did for today! I probably won't be taking him with me tomorrow since we won't be allowed our bags inside the temple.

See you next time~

Putting my son next to his manga panels to bask in the double Leona moment.

Also, can anyone advise me on what to do with the tag? Should I leave it on or...?

Asking since this is my first nui and I don't want to hurt my son.

My son. In both his sickly Victorian child and supermodel glory.

My brother got him for me from a con where there were only the labwear nuis available. I think it's actually quite fitting since I'm an undergraduate in science.
