Why do people keep spelling Parvati Patil as Pavarti Patil??!
As a proud Indian Hindu, it's like a bucket of cold water poured all over me whenever I see this. In a meta that I really appreciate, one of my favourite fic authors answering questions on tumblrs, on amazing fics. . . the magic completely goes and leaves me staring at the screen wondering why this is happening.
Okay, movie, I get it. British accent isn't really conducive to hearing the pronunciation of Indian names properly. Fine.
But even book enthusiasts keep spelling Parvati like that?? Why??
Parvati is a Hindu goddess, the wife of Shiva, a manifestation of Durga Devi, a goddess who symbolizes battle and destruction and carries a trishula (a three pronged spear).
Pavarti sounds terrible and means nothing (in the Indian languages I have at least a little knowledge of: Hindi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Malyalam).
I also really, really love the contract between this name and Padma - which means lotus, and is something Lord Vishnu carries and symbolizes purity.
Please, for the love of God, spell Parvati properly.

Selenne and Elenois Headcanons <3
I like to interpret characters in my own way and write them in silly ways, and I felt inspired to do the Sverchtz twins!
I gave them an eye color for starters, and I thought blue would be fitting :3.
Also this is obviously subject to change as the game develops :3

The Stanley Parable: New Script AU
"Something had shifted in the system. Something had changed. The Narrator's struggling to maintain normalcy in his perfectly crafted story as wayward codes, random protocols, glitches and unknown entities started appearing in the parable. Now with his protagonist, Stanley and their newly acquired friends acquaintances, they try their best to comprehend the danger now the parable poses and figure out who the mastermind behind all of it."
^This is actually just a short summary of this AU. I just can't seem to verbalize everything about this since I cannot English enough the things that's brewing on my mind. I had this AU simmering in my mind since last December after discovering this game, (Yes, I know I'm a few years too late for this fandom-).
I might draw more stuff in this AU soon. Maybe a comic sometimes idk but I do have some ideas. (I still have to finish my other comics for the different fandoms I'm in tho.)
(You can comment on the post below if you wanted to ask details about this AU. Please be kind tho especially to each other!)
(also forgive me for misspelling the Curator's name ahahdgdhhd I was not aware. I was really tired skskskks-)
