Uh guys, in case you aren't all caught up, the graphic novel that started as a little queer comic on Tumblr by ND Stevenson (creator of Shera: Princesses of Power) has been adapted by Netflix into an adorable movie about the contemporary genderqueer experience. Go watch Nimona. RIGHT NOW. (Also read the book!)

The movie also features an API gay couple. Ambrosius Goldenloin is an Asian American descendant of the revered knight, Gloreth, and he dyes his hair blonde to match hers and fit the white saviour image that the public expects from him. He is manipulated golden child of a conservative white woman trying to assert control over the kingdom. Ballister Boldheart is a darker-skinned (desi! muslim!) British Pakistani sweetheart who had to bootstrap his way to the top and still couldn't win model minority status with the head of the institute, and is framed for crimes he didn't commit and condemned by the state. The character designs are both modeled after their voice actors, Eugene Lee Yang and Riz Ahmed. Both actors have done extensive DEI work for the API LGBTQ+ community and visibility!

They are archenemies. They are lovers. They are husbands but also kind of divorced. They will find their way back to each other because they are simply victims of the same system, and they are just so soft for each other and what they want to protect. They are also Nimona's dads. They're slightly different from how they were in the book, but I'm so glad for the changes. And I'm so glad for what remained exactly the same as ND Stevenson envisioned years ago:

Disconnected to your culture and never being taught your mother tongue...

I am just a simple Pakistani girl.

I've got pink chai in my blood.

So I dance to bhangra.

And my soul is torn apart.

Twitter's back on the American food vs British food shit. why don't you all eat a vindaloo and calm down.

we all love texmex, we all love curries, we've each got our own national versions of Chinese food and Vietnamese food and kebab and falafel and West African food and Caribbean food. tikka masala is British and chilli con queso is American and they're both p great.

we're all culturally mixed communities with most of our food cultures built off the influence of immigrant communities, it's chill. it's all haggis pakora baybeeeeee

#red said #i like haggis pakora and the reason i like haggis pakora is a) it fuckin slaps #but b) symbolically i also like it because i think it's the most Scottish food you can have #it's an iconically Scottish food (originating in Turkey) cooked in an iconically Scottish way #(deep frying is iconically Scottish based on the prevalence of chip shops which are an Italian-Jewish-British invention) #and seasoned and invented by Indian Pakistani and Bangladeshi migrants to Scotland #who are some of the biggest contributors to contemporary Scottish food culture #the haggis pakora! served in a munchie box! dipped in Turkish-style chilli sauce! what a good time!

Kaius is a sickly victorian boy, no excuses

even if you removed the "sickly" side of it he still fits the bill

#its his manner of speaking and arrogance really #ive considered making him british because his family has very Old Money vibes and i like the spooky misty manor idea #heritage-wise he's Punjabi/Pakistani but i can easily picture him with an english accent 😭 #anon

In 2019, Saffiyah Khan would join The Specials on stage to perform "10 Commandments", a song that had appeared on their album, "Encore". It was said to be a response to the track of the same name that had been released by Prince Buster in the 1960s.

Khan had come to the attention of the band after a photograph of her staring down the EDL leader at a protest went viral. It later transpired that she was wearing a Specials t-shirt and she was a fan of the band.

If I ever get clocked in one of those “rating everyone’s Punjabi” tiktoks … I’m absolutely cooked. Obliterated. Annihilated. Decimated. All of the above.

#my dad once told me the British occupying South Asia probably spoke better Punjabi n Urdu than me… #my life as a confused pakistani palestinian

Having light brown skin and thinking you look yellowish/sickly hours.

Getting told when you were younger you looked like a gori and not a "real Pakistani"

And remembering when you were younger thinking it might look better if you were white.

Oona was her mother's mother now, Oona sometimes felt, or maybe mother wasn't the right word for it, maybe daughter was fine, meaning more than she once thought they did, each having two sides to itself, a side of carrying and of being carried, each word in the end the same as the other, like a coin, differing only in the order of what face came up first on a toss.
