Lord Ganesha, a revered Hindu deity, is complete resource of knowledge, wisdom and removal of obstacles. Lord Ganesha has different names, which is perceived differently by different people. Some names are- “Balaganapati” that means beloved child, “Chaturbhuj” that means the four- armed lord, “Ekdanta” or one who has a single tusk, “Gajakarna” that is one who has ears like an elephant and…

hair length (including bald/shaved)

hair colour (choosing between a shorter or longer list)

eye colour (currently all natural eye colours. should i add unnatural colours too?)

additional details (currently glasses, uses a cane, heavy makeup. I think I could really expand on this part in particular.)

@oldxenomorph replied to your post “every time I go "eh what the hell" and fire up...”:

i stopped using duolingo a while ago when i realized i was making more progress watching shows/movies with spanish subtitles (which are not always accurate but i still find helpful) or being around the language more irl

​A multi-pronged approach is more likely to work for me if I were to be serious about learning one language in particular, and I'm sure watching things with German subtitles would be a great addition (listening and singing along to music in the target language is another fun one) but I feel like a structured approach is also helpful for me to fully grasp what the fuck is going on in a language. Also, I assume Irish subtitles are.... scarce at best--

I don't like it and I'm going to complain bitterly about it the entire time but the reason I keep going back is because it's what I've got 💀

Also jklfhdkjfg @ when Amena asks MB, "Why do you call it Art? Its name is Perihelion" and MB is like "it's an anagram, for Asshole Research Transport." and she's like "I don't think you know what an anagram is" and it's like "Whatever" fdkjlk

I'm currently still in my robe drinking coffee, and I'm listening to Lorne Balfe's score for the most recent Mission Impossible flick (the one with my beautiful wife, Hayley Atwell). Balfe composes this chord progression in certain cues (e.g., "Get Out Now" and "He Calls Himself Gabriel") that is so, so good. The modulations and slippage between keys are like something out of Richard Wagner, especially Tristan und Isolde. I love music that does that, stretching the limits of tonality and extending harmonic language. More of that, please!

Escape From Barovia (Drake Rupple)

This is not the first time Pijjirik has awoken in a place he did not fall asleep-- or an approximation of that. Not even the first time to wake up next to a corpse-- neither of these times, he conclusively decides, without inspection of this second body. He's a military man and reforming (perhaps) gambler who used to park in shady and inhospitable places... not a common occurrence--- especially the corpse but he's able to gather himself well enough to flip the note over.

Pijjirik has, recently, taken to taking other people's advice after previously ignoring them and getting horribly, horribly swindled. As long as they're open and honest with him, which this note seems to be. It, at least, does not reek of lies or whatever. He's got nothing. The point is, he has to trust in until he can find out:

where he is

how far he managed to get himself from Tymanther

how long it will take to get back

and how much it will cost to get someone to cart him back

So far, the 'dreaded land' is a bit dingy, sure but it's a sweet change of pace. Different trees. Pijjirik takes a moment to disrespect the dead, passing over it's pockets. [Investigation (4)] and finding nothing. He figures he should head to the manor, at least generally-- so far the plan is to shoot wide and come around back.

There's a remarkable amount in her short spiel that stops Pijjirk short— first and foremost that this woman can leave this “Dreaded Place” and that he can't, but secondly, and perhaps a bit more relevant is she's the new currency? She's talking of. He's used to the good old reliable copper, silver, gold and so he opens up his draconic jaw to jabber.

“Essence, auch now, tell me what manner of good is that?” She waves her hand dismissively, clearly a question she's been asked countless times, “Well adventurer, the beasties have them and I, like, like to have them— take em good as coin! They look mite like a marble, if it'd've been flattened. Blue-blue-ish, if you can see color, fair wanderer.” Pijjirk scratches the scales under his chin, ”Anyone else... take them?“ ”Not that you'll meet!“ The merchant replies cheerily. ”Or, adventurer, not that I think you'll meet. Like, it's completely reasonable to give them all to me.“

Pijjirk frowns. No, he won't think he'll do that. He'll spend them if he needs something, but not a moment sooner. Charity is good— but it needs a cause. He figures if he can get essence, better to spend that over gold. A cursory glance at her ware shows nothing.

”Are you looking for magic items, adventurer?“ She speaks peeks over his shoulder as she looks with him. ”Ah, for 200 I can find something for you— and then you can see it and see if you wish to buy it then.”

Pijjirk distinctly feels the weight of only one-hundred gold in his coin purse.

“Auhck, who needs it?”

Him, desperately. If the danger of the Manor— his way out, and hey, wait.

”How's it you can go?“ The merchant gestures broadly before her, ”I know the mists, I was taught how to travel through them, I cannot take people, but I can take things.“ ”Couldn't ya teach me?“ [Persuasion 8] ”Certainly! But I do not like you so.” Pijjirk nods. Well, best to get some essence... probably. He waves an amicable goodbye to her. She opens a pack to entice him back, but really, truly nothing has caught his eye.
