Hi, just out of curiosity, are you watching the Castle series now for the first time?

Hi @poomohan ! 

Long answer

Short answer, No! Just found a bunch of wonderful blogs creating Castle content recently and that's why the sudden uptick in reblogging Castle gifsets :)

Hi PS! Hope you are doing well and good. It was great seeing posts from you after a very long time.

As for your ask box meme, I am so much looking forward to the time when I can have the house to myself and particularly have some time for myself. And maybe get to some series and movies in my long to- watch list.

Can I ask you the same? What are you looking forward to the most in 2021?

Hey @poomohan :) 

It’s great to see you in my activity tab :D I miss you.

I think that sounds excellent, I love those days where you get to just be at home and watch something with hot chocolate! I’z curious -- what’s on your list of things to watch?? 

This year I watched The Bridge (pretty good), Chernobyl (omg so good), Sanditon (hated it, even Theo James couldn’t save it). I’ve just started watching The Crown but I don’t think I’m going to make it beyond the first season. I got through most of Elementary, which was awesome until it wasn’t. On my list -- Bridgerton, maybe that show that’s based on When Dimple met Rishi. The Grishaverse TV series is coming in 2021, and I think The Raven Boys one is too? Nope, that was cancelled.

I haven’t spent time with my family properly since January. I just want to see them again.

@poomohan​ replied to your post:

@phati-sari yup.. absolutely true.. he was really seething and she was very nonchalant about it. It was a powerful scene. When i first saw it, I felt really happy that Khushi told him - she feels she doesn't need to justify herself to someone who can thing something very disgusting about her. In this place, it was totally her pride and self respect talking, wasn't it?

Hi hi!

I was so glad when Khushi (finally) told him as well, that decision has never sat well with me -- no matter that I completely understand why she chose that path.

I understand an initial nonchalance -- she thought they were one simple conversation away from solving their misunderstanding and that Laxmi Nagar wasn’t the best place for such a conversation, but o0o0o0o how it burned Arnav.

There’s a part of me that always proud of her for standing up for herself, for pointing out that if he wants to think her capable of such a thing, then good for him but she doesn’t think he deserves her explanation.

Except ... he does. Two wrongs don’t make a right. He deserved an explanation the moment she found out. Trust works both ways.

Hi PS! Good evening! How are you? 'Werewolf ' for the ask box meme please. Have a great weekend!

Heyyllo0o0o0o0o!

I’m well thanks! The weekend is going swimmingly :) I hope you’re well!

werewolf: do you like the taste of alcohol? Not really -- on the few occasions I do drink, I prefer something sweet that masks the taste.

Thanks for asking!

Send me a mythical creature ask

[phati-sari]

Hi PS!! Good morning! It has been a really long time since I sent in a ask. Hope you find this question interesting- is there any perception or interpretation you had about the story/ characters of the show during your first few watches that changed during your later re-watches? Happy weekend! Thanks in advance!

Heeeeyyyyyyy ❤️💜

I hope you’ve been well, I’ve missed you!! 

is there any perception or interpretation you had about the story/ characters of the show during your first few watches that changed during your later re-watches?

Ahh this is an awesome question, thank you for asking it! As you know, it’s very hard for me to remember my first watch, but I’ll try ...

I couldn’t see the point of Mami. I distinctly remember thinking she didn’t add much value to the show -- Bua-ji served a similar function from a comedic standpoint so it felt like overkill to have two ~comedic aunt~ characters. I remember when my views changed too: when I finally stopped fast-forwarding scenes I didn’t like and managed to catch Arnav explaining that she sold her jewellery so he could start a business. The honest-to-goodness revelation that she loved Arnav that much -- more like a son than a nephew -- changed my views on her forever. I could suddenly see why she was mean to Khushi and why she was always so upset about Payal and Khushi being accepted into Shantivan. Once I gave her a chance, I could see that she only wanted a rich gril for Aakash because she didn’t want her bahu to be treated like Nani treated her. The rest is history!

As the years have gone on, I’ve become less tolerant of Khushi’s actions, less accepting of the idea that her behaviour should be overlooked because of her pure intentions. She’s still my absolute favourite character in the serial but I’ve noticed a definite departure from when I began the blog, when I was eager to explain all her actions away because she didn’t really mean to do harm. Some of this has been driven by my real-life circumstances. As I’ve grown up, I’ve come to see what my own intentions aren’t the only thing that matter -- I have to acknowledge my role in hurting people even when it wasn’t intentional. 

I guess the hut scene qualifies as well -- I didn’t hate it initially, I thought it was pretty romantic that they finally wanted to get it on.

For me, the best part about watching IPKKND again and again and again is that each time I find new things. As recently as this year, I was rewatching a few episodes and updating the recaps. It’s such a gorgeously nuanced, layered show :) 

I hope your weekend was excellent!! Mine was alright, spent it applying for jobs. Take care :) ❤️

@phati-sari​ I do hope you will check it out PS; I liked the series. It was chilling and scary.

Hey @poomohan!

I probably will ... eventually. Chilling and scary aren’t really my vibe tho, so check back in like ... two years ;)
