Spookami Day 12: Fear

Okay arguably this would fit better for Crossover day, but I have something else planned for that if I have time!

You know a language well if it does things you don't have control over. Bring me the words without meanings, words all meanings have abandoned, sentenced to meaninglessness.

Mani Rao, from Echolocation: Poems

"With a start Rao realized he had been silent for some time, staring blankly at Aditya, wanting to do...something. Ring Aditya by the throat, perhaps? Or shake him? Or hold his face and say, "I wish you could be more than this. I wish you would grieve as I grieve, and hate as I hate, and be the person you were when you and Prem and I were boys.""

Outing myself as part of another obscure fandom but for my one moot (u know wuo you are) who i demanded read Prophet, hear me out

I know adam wouldn’t be one for nick names…but please just humor me, what if…what if he called Roa, Sunni (derived from Sunil) I WOULD DIE RAHHH

collection of very important panels from the Okami Official Anthologies

The stories of our lives are ephemeral: When we die, they die, too. But what if someone (what if I) could gather up these stories and hold on to them for safekeeping? When humans finally drive ourselves to extinction, wouldn’t that be our best shot at proving to the universe that, once upon a time, we were here?

And yet you have proship dni in your bio like someone shipping enemies to lovers will give you cooties

oh you can just tell this anon knows literally nothing about me other than this post and my bio

"Somehow it is easier to say I hated practicing piano in the morning

than it is to say I loved the way you turned the pages for me.

I cringed being woken up each morning, pulled blinds and tough light, but I loved

your warm and capable hands on my forehead brushing away the remnants of a dream."

-Natasha Rao

these days i get a really nostalgic feeling about the pandava quintet series. i miss the potatoes so much and I'll do anything to read the series for the first time again :/

Girls Burn Brighter || Shobha Rao || 309 pages Top 3 Genres: Contemporary / Cultural / Feminism

Synopsis: When Poornima first meets Savitha, she feels something she thought she lost for good when her mother died: hope. Poornima's father hires Savitha to work one of their sari looms, and the two girls are quickly drawn to one another. Savitha is even more impoverished than Poornima, but she is full of passion and energy. She shows Poornima how to find beauty in a bolt of indigo cloth, a bowl of yogurt rice and bananas, the warmth of friendship. Suddenly their Indian village doesn't feel quite so claustrophobic, and Poornima begins to imagine a life beyond the arranged marriage her father is desperate to lock down for her. But when a devastating act of cruelty drives Savitha away, Poornima leaves behind everything she has ever known to find her friend again. Her journey takes her into the darkest corners of India's underworld, on a harrowing cross-continental journey, and eventually to an apartment complex in Seattle. Alternating between the girls’ perspectives as they face relentless obstacles, Girls Burn Brighter introduces two heroines who never lose the hope that burns within them.

Kavita Rao is my small z-list forgotten X-Men character that I miss very much and will go crazy if they even make a reference to her.
