#Arushi rambles

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

So twsift namedrop Kim K's daughter and mentions Kim's death. Because of the beef that she primarily had with Kanye....

But she shouldn't be held responsible for the bad that men in her life ever do, like Matty Healy being a bigot or that godawful director she worked with or Kelce being a xenophobe and misogynist. She disgusts me.

OC Most Likely Tag!

Thank you for the tags @illarian-rambling, @rivenantiqnerd and @novel-nook-blog

My prompts:

Most likely to sleep with a knife under their pillow

Definitely Arushi, considering she lives in a jungle, never being entirely safe.

Most likely to gossip behind someone's back

I'd say Dethra, but not the mean kind of gossip. The friendly kind you do as a joke.

Most likely to carry snacks at all times

I'm gonna say Zri’Kla. He fell from the sky with a bag of alien chips, which he probably still ate afterwards.

Get arrested on false charges

I suppose Luce could get arrested on “false” charges, but not for long!

Get caught robbing a candy store

None of my characters rob, nor does it really fit them, but I'm gonna go with Dethra, because he is the most chaotic one.

Sing in the shower

They probably all do, except Arushi.

Most likely to get lost in their own hometown?

Bluctro, just because he never actually walked through his own hometown. (Disregarding the fact that he could just pull out a map in his own head)

Most likely to get an embarrassing tattoo?

Luce or Zri’Kla, though Luce is a person who thinks things through thoroughly and Zri’Kla's species doesn't have something like tattoos on their planet.

Most likely to give their kid an unusual (*cough* ridiculous *cough*) name?

Dethra I guess? But he actually loves children, so it would only be a stupid nickname.

Your prompts:

Most likely to get hit by a car while jaywalking

Most likely to get cancelled on Twitter

Most likely to trip over their own feet

The AM: March 13, 2023

The bad news (or maybe the good news depending on how you feel about rambling radio hosts)is that the recording of this week's episode got messed up and misses the introduction. The good news is that the bulk of the slightly belated 2023 edition of All Femme AM is still here for your listening pleasure. Songs by women or bands that prominently feature women, mostly consisting of artists and selections that have been featured on the AM over the past year, with a few brand new tunes mixed in for good measure. Hope you enjoy it.

I just had an existential crisis when I remembered that Arch doesn't canonically have any siblings (that we know of), and Arushi, Arch's adorable little sister, is someone I made up entirely (credit to @okay-hamlet for the name, though). Anyway to conclude my ramblings, I was wondering how many siblings each unit member has (we only know hawthorne's siblings I think?) What do you think?

OKAY NOW THIS IS MY KIND OF ASK

So hawthorne and mog, are respectively four and three (although if you count Jack mog has four siblings)

Thaddea has two older siblings at least, but perhaps there is one younger as well

Lam is… I can’t remember canonically but in my head (the only place that truly matters) she’s an only child whose parents probably coddled her and freaked out when they found out about her knack

Mahir has a little baby sister. Most definitely. Though I suppose she’s growing towards being a toddler at this stage

Cadence is an only child. Non-debatable.

Francis has brothers. They’re younger than him and think he’s really cool, which is great for Francis because nobody else thinks he’s cool

Anah is probably an only child, but does she know her actual parents? I can’t remember. It’s entirely plausible that she has siblings she didn’t know about due to growing up in a convent. Now that I think about it, do we have any explanation for why she was in the convent? Is she an orphan? I can’t remember. But… if there’s other kids in the convent she thinks of them as her siblings and tries to take care of them - even the older kids, who find it ridiculous

The argument that Kashmir belongs to India to do to it whatever the fuck the Centre wants just because it was acceded by the then-monarch is hilarious to me because this is their literal thought process

Majority population of Religion A ruled by a monarch of Religion B: the monarch is tyrannical and oppressed the public and never once acted as a beneficiary of the people. The people now deserve to "decolonise".

Majority population of Religion B ruled by a monarch of Religion A: the monarch had the best interests of people and knew what to do, the people are delusional and can't be trusted to know what they actually want. Oh and they are all terrorists so obv we can't listen to what they say now.

Gotta love the hypocrisy and mental gymnastics 🤌

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

Guys. Guys! GUYS!

There's a whole anti hindutva anti casteist pro LGBTQ desiblr space going strong on tumblr AND I HAD NO IDEA!

Tell me why I was so fckn upset over all of desiblr suddenly being bigoted and casteist when there's a whole faction of cool desis just thriving on here? The only good thing that stupid fckn m*ndir did was show me who to trust on desiblr, ngl

I was today years old when I learnt that the US economic crisis of 1970s happened because of their support of the Israel war.

Nixon requested 2.2 billion usd to support Israel in war. Which resulted in OAPEC countries to refuse selling crude oil to the US. Which resulted in sky rocketing prices of oil in the country. Which obviously resulted in recession, and finally stagflation.

I know it shouldn't be surprising, but it is insane to see the lengths imperialist countries would go to put their citizens in such a duress just to uphold their colonialist regimes. And it might just happen again rn. Fuck the US fr.

the fact that taylor not only announced an album called the tortured poets department on grammys which btw resembles the name of group chat in which joe alwyn was in but also dragged a known zionist lana del rey on stage after winning aoty and talked about how she impacted young artists during an ongoing genocide is just not sitting right to me. like, there's already so much hate against joe alwyn who has done nothing but stay silent after all the death threats, god only knows how much it will increase after her new album.

also, the fact that the term poets will be associated with her album rather than dead poets society is just not disappointing

Honestly, I've never cared about Grammys. And while I used to be a swiftie (ik, bleurghhh, everyone makes mistakes at 19, mine just happened to be a white billionaire instead of a boy 🤢), it is now difficult to care about her enough to even hate her.

But the fact that she chooses to stay silent I'm the face of genocide, with allllll this affluence that she's acquired over the years and with no threat to her actual career (let's be fr, who's gonna fire her? She works for herself ffs). And then she brings on stage an actual zionist supporter.... There really is no hope for this punk rock billionaire, at this point I feel bad for her exes.

💕if you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn't matter, let's get to know the person behind the blog!

It's been ages since I did one of these! Okay so

1. I have always loved to read but adulting is a bitch so now I often take months to finish a single book (took me 4 to finish Circe by Madeline Miller)

2. I like to embroider stuff every now and then, but am shit at stewing somehow. I can just about manage the basic stuff lmao.

3. I have never had a traditional hangover with light sensitivity or headaches or anything like that, but I've blacked out multiple times.

Thank you for the ask!!

(I love your URL btw <3)

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

heyyyy gonreos

Hiiiii! How you doing???

Also, I have no idea what gonreos is and google did not help at all, I'm sorry 🙈

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

The blatant peddling of lies, gotta love how the public laps it up

To put into perspective

Kashmiraction.org - Most militarised zone in the world

India Sends Thousands More Troops to Restive Kashmir

BBC - Kashmir remains one of the most militarised zones in the world

NYTimes article about arming civilians in one of the most militarised zones in the world

Do check the dates, adds amazing perspective

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

Okay but can tumblr bring back group chats? I'd love to have the online equivalent of being huddled around a fire with my beloved mutuals and just 🥺

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

Toxic relationships this and situationships that,,,, how tf does one deal with the fact that this immensely healthy, adorable, safe relationship might end at some point just because one little aspect of our vision of the future might not align

[rosetta-stoned-bitch]

The electoral bonds data is depressing. I've been reading a two page detailed report in Indian Express about it and I have just one thought - "Damn, we made lobbying legal for almost 5 years"
