Okay but like,, Sometimes female villains in Indian soap operas are.. so fine???

These writers and directors make a character that is an independent, mean, arrogant woman who wears sleeveless blouses, net sarees and dark lipstick. AND then expect me to not fall in love with her??? Aise kaise bc-

Sephiroth but if he was desi... he is not beating the pretty boy allegations

"Desiroth" coined by my dearest bestie @nyatimesthree 🫶 thank you babes. anyway silly video I made and posted to instagram at 5am is under the cut

he estuans on my interius until i ira vehementi (sephiroth !!)

#save me desi sephiroth. save me. desi sephiroth save me #no but final fantasy 7 would translate SO WELL as an indian drama/commentary of indian society #i WILL talk about it for ages if someone wishes to ask #granted i've only the bare bones of a possible desi!ff7 au but really nothing is set in concrete except. two details lol #(it's about aerith and cloud and tifa's ethnicities but that's literally it LMAO WHJWKGJWHG) #imagine if one winged angel got turned into a dramatic soap opera theme..... oh my god. ten thousand video transition effects #INDIAN TV CAN AND MUST USE THE “SCREEN SHATTERS LIKE GLASS” EFFECT JKHGHEGWHW IT'S LITERALLY MEANT FOR SEPHIROTH #literally spent. mcfucking hours on his shoulders and chest. only for them to get covered up by jewellery and pauldrons 🤡🤡 #tried to go for mahabharata art-esque form and armour for him tbh but i don't know if that translated right. oh well !! #final fantasy 7 #ff7 #sephiroth #ffvii #desi #desi art #final fantasy vii #funny memes #animation #artoftheagni #final fandesi 7

Real talk but all those people complaining about filler arcs would not survive Indian TV shows

#'Ohhhh this show has more than 100 episodes how will anyone watch it??' That is like rookie numbers #Tarak mehta ka ulta chasma has like 3800+ episodes and is still going strong #Indian soap operas would have some of the flattest character writing over the top pointless arcs and go on to have hundreds of episodes #desi tumblr #desiblr #desi tag #desi memes #desi

i want less egregious flashbacks. unless they go the whole other way and flashback to something we saw 1 minute prior. just to fuck with us

#that one indian soap opera clip where it keeps replaying the scene as its happening from different angles over and over #etc etc #ofmd

One of my fav things about Thai BLs is that there's always one episode where they send the characters to a temple no matter the genre of the show

Kinda like how Indian soap operas have a mandatory episode where there is a temple visit and divine intervention which helps the main lead overcome a problem

I like how Indian and Thai cultures overlap in places

real shots from actual intro of a real show:

#u r run over by a bulldozer even before you've actually started the ep?? #I'm- #i wanna meet the person who edited this intro #i wanna examine their brain #WHY DOES THE EDITING OF THE SHOW REMIND ME OF INDIAN SOAP OPERAS AAA #advance bravely #just... #why...

not to burst anyone's fucking bubble, but people really need to understand that the barbie movie is a fucking toy advert, and NOT a way to 'prove' that the doll was a feminist icon that was misunderstood. barbie did serious fucking damage to children's psyche and promoted unhealthy habits.

i love that movie, and i love it more for irritating right wing incels, but mattel produced this movie and you should take the message with at least a grain of salt.

#barbie #the barbie movie #barbie 2023 #barbie movie 2023 #mattel #barbie doll #tw eating issues #there was literally a bathroom toy set with a book titled how to lose weight and a scale set at 110 pounds #it took them ages to create a black doll or an asian one (east and south and SEA) #i played with barbies throughout my life #i reenacted indian soap operas and regularly made my barbies murder the other barbies for their family fortunes #and i'd trace the curves of the doll and feel quite jealous #it's a fun toy but there was a reason a lot of parents disapprove of barbie

[flurryofstarz]

Me: Okay... Don’t make this chapter too dramatic. The characters are just going to have a small argument. 

Also me: A small argument was never an option.

Why are the male leads in Indian Soap Operas getting increasingly toxic and female leads increasingly annoying? Like why? And why do my grandparents watch it? Why do TEENAGERS watch it? Why? WHY?

#Indian soap operas #like bro you don't recreate someone's trauma right in front of them #and girl it wouldn't kill you to not glare in someone's general direction for FIVE SECONDS #Indian #my post

The events following the end of AC1 to Altaïr’s death in Revelations except it’s an overdramatic historical soap opera feat. slow motion scenes, dramatic music, zoom-ins, internal monologues, and so many fucking transitions

#assassin’s creed #altaïr ibn la'ahad #ac1 #magnificent century is the inspiration for this post #yes I know it’s Turkish #and this would be an Arab soap opera but #it keeps the dramatic nature #BRO LIKE THOSE INDIAN SOAP OPERAS THAT ARE SO FUCKING FUNNY BC THEYRE SO DRAMATICALLY EDITED 💀💀 #all of that but an events following ac1 soap opera #babblingbrook babbles

Yaar tum logon ko ajeeb nhi lagta kaise anupamaa mein humaari pyaari anupamaa ji ko chhodkar almost har ek female character ko kam se kam ek sexist trait diya hai?

#jaise vo kavya was okay with harassment #aur pakhi apni widow bhabhi ke baare mein ulta seedha bol rhi thi #aur ye ba to ba hi hai #it almost seems like putting women down to lift up other women #unpopular opinion #anupamaa #anupamaa critical #indian soap operas #desiblr

Man this last class i had today really made me think about how devalued brazilian culture is by it's own people, like here at college whenever i talk to my classmates about things they like or what they've been watching is always some western show or asian series, i haven't seen a single person around my age list some Brazilian telenovela/soap opera as something they actively watch or enjoy and that's just really sad to me because i think those are a staple of our culture and nowadays it really feels like it's something only the older generation cares about because it's so hard to find younger people who watch these.

I feel embarrassed saying i watch telenovelas every day to people because they just look at me like "woah, you watch those things?", is it that weird to watch something produced in the country you live in and by the people of our culture instead of something from the other side of the world?? And i shouldn't feel embarrassed to talk about how i love those shows but i just do because this stuff makes me feel like I'm detached from my own age group.

And I'm not saying it's wrong to enjoy things from other nations/cultures, if i did i would be a fucking hypocrite cuz a lot of the things i enjoy come from outside too, it's just that it really saddens me to see how many people here just don't care about the things produced in our own country or see them as lesser than outside ones because of the whole “The grass is greener on the other side” thing a majority of our population has.

#GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAA I LOVE WATCHING BRAZILIAN TELENOVELAS #and even when other people talk or joke about soap operas/telenovelas is almost never brazilian ones #it's usually mexicans or indian ones #which fair #a lot of tropes of this genre are universal #but still it be cool to see ours being acknowledged too #specially since again they're a big part of our culture #the biggest tv channel in here airs 5 different ones every single day #uhhhhhh I'm just ranting now #may delete this mess later idk #rant #hyena ramblings

Look not to be "You younglings have it easy" but everyone of those people wanting the Nuanced™ and Sensical™ Plot™ in the 2nd episode of the show would not have survived 90's/00's/10's cartoons

#those cartoons would have The most random bullshit ever and consist of characters doing whatever the fuck they want #These people would not survive Indian soap operas either #Some of the most random bullshit followed by the same plotlines using the flattest characters with liberal use of slideshow animations #This shit would go on to have thousands of episodes. Just absolute maddness #Still remember that one show that started with a woman getting gaslit into thinking the guy with her is her husband #and her real husband doesnt exist. Except it turns out this was all the part of her plan into getting into the family #And the real husband was a paid actor?? And was blackmailing but may have gotten killed?? #And the show ends with her dying and haunting the house as a ghost but than she is alive again through power of love or some shit #Absolutely wild. Unhinged and bonkers in stupidest ways possible #empty thoughts

Dallas Liu playing Zuko’s morality coma is going to be the most dramatic performance to grace any screen ever. I want him spinning like this is an Indian soap opera, bring out the fainting couch, this is going to be epic.
