Strong Mimi 💪

Me, every time I reread a fic that I love:

Writing is hard. It stretches your creativity until you see holes in it, or worse, your plot. It can be lonely. It can be tiring. It can hurt your brain, and your pride, and your heart. It can feel like the worst thing you've ever done.

But it's worth it.

You're worth it.

So take care of yourself, okay? Take breaks, drink fluids, do whatever self-care you can do, no matter how small. Remember, there are people who care, and there are readers who need you - your story, your perspective, your impact.

And if you don't hear this from anyone else today, I'm so proud of you.

I need a Haikyuu!! wiki that documents what every character calls every other character. There are certain patterns (Takeda adds “kun” to their names, third years call kouhai by last names alone usually) but some characters are harder (such as Noya calling Tanaka “Ryuu” when Tanaka calls Noya “Noya-san”) I went through a few chapters and got a list started. Please feel free to add to/edit this list! It is very incomplete. Note: suffixes sometimes drop during matches.

Pride and Prejudice

(2005)

New Bollywood movie to add to the list of Bollywood movie that have utterly destroyed my heart, made me question existence, and fed my soul an array of beautiful emotions and a story for the ages : Kalank.

No, seriously, I'm gonna need a minute here, guys.

This film is ridiculously gorgeous, I mean, the outfits? The sets? The choreography? The lightning and the colours? I'm. I'm speechless. Why is this film so beautiful.

I love the songs, First Class is one of the first Bollywood song I've heard, and one of the first Arijit Singh's song, and I actually had no idea it was from the movie. Ghar More Pardesiya has beautiful lyrics, Kalank is cute and heartbreaking, Tabaah Ho Gaye made me cry... I'm adding the entire album to my list of albums I actually listen to in their entirety, which is a very short list.

Can I sing Alia and Varun's praises again? I know that's three movies of theirs in a row, but what can I say, when ou recognize talent, there's only one thing to do, scream about it to everyone willing (and unwilling) to listen to you go raving mad. Right, but seriously, Varun in this movie? With that hair and the khol eyes? The way he acts with his eyes in a way very reminiscing of Shah Rukh Khan and that the only other current Bollywood actor I've seen acting so well is Ranveer Singh? I swear I forget to breath when he's looking like that.

Alia and Madhuri Dixit ma'am's scenes together were fantastic, the raw beauty and power of these women, the sheer emotions they can make you feel with one look, one tilt of the head, one barely there smile...

And I haven't even talked about the story itself yet, but yeah. Love and hatred, vengeance and destruction, until it becomes the destruction of your own self, until hatred becomes love and love becomes hatred and you don't know anymore who you are, what you want, what you stand for... It is one of my favourite kind of stories, after all, love and destruction as the two sides of the same coin is a never-ending well of inspiration and motifs.

Anyway. That was an absolutely fascinating, mesmerizing and heartbreaking almost-three-hours of my life.
