ok so im currently rewatching nimona in the hindi dub (thank you @sir-ballister-boldheart-boldheart for the link! everyone should check out their great posts about it too btw)

and right of off the bat, im kinda obsessed with this line change:

in the OG, Nimonas quip/joke is "The one armed club is about to get some new members"

but in the Hindi dub its changed to "Agar inmisay kisi ka basu pasand ai toh bata'dayna" (sorry if my hinglish isnt the best i dont do this kinda thing often XO)

(which translates to: "if you find a liking to any of these arms tell me")

which is not only equally as hilarious but also soso cute cause the implication shes ready to chop of any arm he wants as a fucked up kinda karma/compensation or as a replacement is just, so good. violent and in character but also establishes a side of care for him early on which is really cool.

#she cares but in the most fucked up and violent ways its so sweet <333 #she really said 'arm choping is not a love language unless i do it and by me doing it i mean im gonna chop you a new arm >:3' #also while im obsessed with riz ahmeds british/urdu accent in the og. the hindi dub is so fun and expressive in a compleatly new/different #way. its really interesting to listen to. rare good hindi dub 10/10 #also i realy like the directors va in this? shes absolutely amazing and a great actress #psii.txt #nimona #nimona movie #nimona 2023 #ballister boldheart #desi tag #nimona hindi dub #(also note for @. i dont wanna clog ur notifs so this will probably be the only time i do so if i post more unless you wish otherwise)

watched a video about the unpleasant subtext created by the Velaryons being black in HOTD and had a sudden epiphany:

what if it was the Hightowers who were black in the show

I think that on the surface level it would definitely be cool, the hightowers are an extremely unique and interesting house and I would love to see more diversity in ASOIAF. However, the showrunners would also have to handle that with a kind of care that they clearly did not demonstrate with the Velaryons either.

Could you imagine how much worse the already nasty fandom discourse about how Alicent‘s children aren’t true Targaryens because of her would be if they were Black? or the victimblaming and hypersexualization of 15 year old Alicent that we already see in the fandom. or anything with how they characterized aegon, really. The narrative casts Alicent as this outsider to the Targaryen’s and Velaryons, but that narrative element would take a distinctly racial (and racist) tone if the Hightowers were the only Black nobles.

If they cast the greens (and I’m including Criston here) as the only people of color in the show who are positioned as villainous scheming upjumped usurpers against team black which would then be all very white good guy Valyrians who go on and on about blood purity that would definitely be communicating something pretty bad.

None of this is to say that it couldn’t work or that there’s anything that would prevent the hightowers from being Black in canon. but I am saying that the showrunners would have to put a lot of thought into it to avoid problematic elements or making the narrative extremely racist. And based on how they have handled the Black Velaryons and how the narrative marginalized them so far for the development of white characters, I don’t think that they would be able to pull it off well. 

#hotd #asoiaf #that got long. I wish they could pull it off because it be cool but I don’t trust the show runners with that. #i heard someone a while back say desi hightowers which would also be pretty interesting. but i digress

i didn't have an absolutely shitty childhood. but maybe i just wish my parents had stopped the car on the way near an ice-cream stall and treated me to an impromptu ice-cream just because they wanted to. maybe i just wish we ran into an ice-cream stall on accident and it could've been the best day of my life.

#i have never once found an ice cream stall on accident #in this day and age yeah we can order online but its not the same yk?? #maybe i wish happy luck was more on my side sometimes #desiblr #desi #chaotic academia #desi culture #dark academia #main aisi q hu #childhood

Sometimes I think there will come a day when I'm dead and all anyone would have to say about me would be,"she was very understanding"

#desiblr #suffer ye suhana nahi #desi tumblr #im not a pushover but i like to stay away from confrontations #im trying my best with all of my relationships #treating someone gently is a part of me now and i won't change that ever #but i just wish i fucking recived the same #god why am i pitying myself too much these days #i need to get back on track

Some of the Korean Tarlos fans (and May ❤️) I follow on Twitter have worked together to buy and are shipping TK's cologne/perfume to each other and it makes me so damn happy to see people coming together like that over a ship and character they love 🤗

#they are a wonderful group and their interactions give me so much joy 😊 #wish I could read Korean myself but the translators do an okay job 😂 #desi posts

[daydreaming-en-pointe]

So I recently had a not-so-nice anon in my inbox asking why I write for desi readers when ‘barely anybody who is actually desi’ reads my works. I chose not to respond to their original ask because it has a few racist stereotypes, not to mention blatant insults.

First off, I’m sure that’s not true. I refuse to believe that on this enormous site with well over a million people there is not one desi who watched ATSV and fell in love with its characters, and wanted to see more of themselves in readers. I refuse to believe that because I know for a fact it’s not true; I’m moots with a few desi writers and let me tell you even if they don’t necessarily write fics targeted towards explicitly Indian readers, their works are still fantastic and yes, they read my desi fics. (vee silvia shoutout to u guys ily ❤️) And I’m sure that there are others, too. Maybe they don’t read my writing but I’m sure they’ve searched for a fic that has a protagonist that they can relate to, at least once.

That first part may not have made any sense but anyway — secondly, it is not my duty to have to write for everyone else. I can very well choose to write about my own culture and my own experiences if I want to. I write desi readers because in a way, ATSV helped me love my culture and my background. And now, I want to introduce other people to my experiences, and to my culture, because I think it’s beautiful. I personally LOVE reading fics with Latina (or any ethnicity at all) readers that highlight parts of their culture. I love reading about cultures that I previously wouldn’t know much about.

Anyway, to summarise this: fuck you anon I’m just gonna write more desi-centred fics 😊

One sided friendships

Our friendship is different,

It’s like oil and water,

They never mix in together,

And I know the good ol’ saying

“Opposites attract”

But ours is different ,

I take effort,

You don’t,

You break me,

I heal you,

I cannot force you to love me,

Because I know you won’t ,

You never will,

It has always been you,

But never me,

And I cannot remove you out of my life,

Despite knowing the harsh truth that my heart refuses to accept,

I still love you,

And I always will.

(Y’all I am writing after a v long time pls don’t judge) 😭🎀

Parents be like, "Your generation is always on the phone, that's why you don't talk."

Did it ever occur to you I'm on my phone because I don't wanna talk to you? That if you weren't so critical, I would automatically prefer your company to mindlessly scrolling Instagram?

Taking my phone away won't help. I wouldn't talk to you even if the alternative was watching paint dry. Because you don't actually want to talk to me, do you? You don't want to hear about how your actions have hurt me; the profound insecurity that is embedded deep in my bones; the fact that I want you to stop saying some things because they make me sad and anxious; or any of my beliefs that dare to be different from yours.

No, you don't want to talk. And neither do I. The phone, sir, is the only thing keeping this interaction civil. It's the only way I can bear your presence.

Because if I started talking, really talking, about everything that's on my mind, I wouldn't know how to stop.

And your generation can't deal with that.

Your generation is always on the run from emotions. That's why we don't talk.

It’s so annoying when you’re watching a coming of age HINDI film but the characters are so westernised. It feels like an american show with indian actors who speak English but throw Hindi words here and there.

The main character comes back from school, enters his room with shoes on and throws his bag on his bed. Then shouts at the top of his lungs “MOMMMM”.

Disclaimer:- No Indian kid has done this ever.
