@roobylavender replied to your post:

thank you for answering! this is super insightful and i really appreciate the point you make about intention and how despite include some repercussions of feudal traditions, addressing that niche of pakistani society as a whole was not actually the central aim of the drama (so in that aspect it’s distinct of dramas like sang-e-marmar, sang-e-mah, malaal-e-yaar, badshah begum, etc.). i definitely think that’s a valid defense to shielding it from some criticism bc like you said the more pertinent intent is to address misplaced judgments, rectification of old mistakes, the harms of parents projecting onto their children, the plights of stubbornness and inflexibility, etc. that definitely holds when, like you said, you approach ruhi’s arc as a whole, bc it’s about much more than a mere reaction to societal practice  and i like the point you bring up in the tags about faarah too! i’m less endeared to wali this go around bc some of his alpha male behavior towards her in the beginning of their relationship seriously turns me off lol but it’s true a lot of faarah’s relationship to the haveli is premised on her dynamic with agha jaan first, and that’s definitely where the show wins a lot of viewers over (including me! they were so sweet and i loved them) in any other show that tried a similar approach of “wait and see that this guy you got married to isn’t Actually so bad even though he’s trying to dictate everything you do” i think i would probably still remain super turned off bc there’s not often a character like agha jaan present to balance out that transition into accepting that maybe your judgments of your spouse and their family are not entirely solid. so aH he was here lol! such a crucial character to tie everything together truly 

(making this reply a new post rather than continuing in comments cuz I need my space with me especially when talking about Wali akjsdhakwjeahw)

Yes! exactly! I was thinking of dramas like Sang-e-Marmar and Mere Humnasheen as examples when I was making that point. In those dramas, the background of the characters is the plot. because when you remove the background the entire story falls flat on its place. the characters and their actions in those dramas they are not justified but also plausible because of the characters’ backgrounds. the same doesn’t fully apply to the characters of DeD. Aga Jaan’s family could’ve been from any non-specific feudal background and the story would still take place. the reasoning might have to be altered to fit that but on the whole, the plot progression could’ve happened in the same way as it originally did.

As for Wali...oh boyyyy yahan pe aata hai conflict. because Wali remains my most criticized AND most beloved Pakdrama hero. my history on PakDrama fandom world is witness to how much I have dragged this man for his actions (even as recently as just a few days ago!) however, regardless of how much some of his actions continue to irk me..on the whole Wali’s character journey is so fascinating and intriguing for me that I can never see him as a “red flag bad guy”. there are layers to him!! I do sometimes wonder how Wali would be perceived in today’s landscape. like i am SURE he’d be criticized a lot more than he was back in 2015. some of his actions wrt Faraa are so ruthless that I can vividly imagine some people on stantwt making it their mission to start “Cancel Wali Suhaib Khan!!!” parades.

But like I said, the beauty of DeD is how a character comes across when you take the context of their situation when they were performing a certain action. Wali’s abusive kidnapping of Faraa and the initial manhandling he did with her within the first few days of her return to the haveli..these are things added in the drama for well drama’s sake. Wali of the novel was always the picture of perfect gentleman. Wali of the drama was prideful. for six years he had witnessed his own pride be spat on by Faraa’s cold demeanor. Wali forgave the insult to his pride, where he fully lost his senses was when he witnessed his Aga Jaan, his most beloved grandfather, be reduced to a man just breathing not living because of all the hurt Faraa’s attitude had caused him for years...that was unforgivable for Wali. in a very pathetic attempt to be his defense..Wali was pushed to show his most brutal self to Faraa and confirm her worst fears about him that she had nursed for years all because there was no other way Faraa would just LISTEN to him. Wali had never tried to impose the power their nikaah gave him over Faraa except just this once. and he did that not for his own self but for his grandfather’s.

Wali is not a perfect character; good heroes seldom are (hence why drama!Wali is more beloved to me than novel!Wali) The show had already established Wali as someone who had the habit of exercising his dominance where he could. We saw it in how he would scold Zarminay when she tried to be nosy in his affairs or him reprimanding her for planning picnics. but at the end of the day that strictness was not what defined him. we saw how Zarminay confided in her brother and leaned on to him in the time of intense grief. because he was raised by Aga Jaan, he didn’t learn to put walls around his heart and was taught to have more love and respect in all the relationships he shared with anyone. THAT BEING SAID..Wali was ALSO a young man with all the hotheadedness youth brings with itself. it was his initial youthful blunder of putting himself across as a lazy, entitled brat to Faraa which made it easier for her to cement her bad opinion of him. it were his own insecurities that made him unable to empathize with Faraa when she found peace in Moiz’s company. yeah sure Wali’s guess about Moiz being a leech ended up being true but we cannot deny that Faraa’s proximity with Moiz wounded Wali’s pride as a man to the point where he started to question that maybe him assuming duties far beyond the capability of his age had rendered him into an undesirable man. Wali was also well..petty.

Despite all that..I cannot see Wali as someone who, after his rage died down, was incapable of asking for forgiveness for his actions. YEAH I KNOW THE SHOW DIDN’T GIVE ME THAT SCENE AND I WILL FOREVER HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST IT FOR DENYING ME THE SCENE OF WALI ON HIS KNEES BEGGING FOR FARAA’S FORGIVENESS FOR TREATING HER SO HORRIBLY but i also know that how Wali’s character was shaped up..there did come a point when he did apologize for it all. HECK! I can imagine Aga Jaan severely reprimanding Wali if he so got a whiff of HOW ACTUALLY Wali managed to bring Faraa back to haveli and refusing to talk to Wali until he SEES Wali on his knees holding his ears and awaiting Faraa’s forgiveness. which she’d give him of course. not only because she loved him but because she is at that point in her life where she wants all the past mistakes kept aside to start afresh.

Wali works because Aga Jaan works. if Aga Jaan who started as the villain of the story can have a character arc that makes him THE BEATING HEART AND SOUL of the entire story, Wali also cannot stray too far away from the circle of redemption purely because of his connection to Aga Jaan. it’s because of Aga Jaan Wali is mercifully not given the “he’s good because we say he’s good so whatever you saw and how you interpret him is wrong” treatment that so many of the current Pakistani dramas subject their protagonists to (coughmeerabcough). because we SEE Wali’s connection with Aga Jaan and we SEE how Aga Jaan’s sheer love won over Faraa and gave her the peace and acceptance that she was craving for for years..we can SEE why Faraa, by this connection, falls for Wali. not just because he’s her husband and she has no choice but to love him. i see it in a more poetic manner...’the beloved’s beloved becomes my beloved’.

#diyar e dil #i can talk about Wali for hours man..i cannnn T_T #type: opinion #pakistani drama #because DeD emphasizes a lot on connections #and how WHO we are connected with defines who WE are #i see the characters in connection with other characters #rather than lone figures #isn't that human nature though? that we react to how others treat us #by removing the 'others' #can we truly know who we are and what we are capable of??

My Nan, who was born just after WWI in Wales to Welsh parents, used to tell us stories of how kids caught speaking Welsh were made to hold a rubber band in their teeth which was then stretched and let go. Curiously, this made her very anti-Welsh. She married a navy lad at sixteen to rid herself of her Welsh name and get out of the country, and never spoke to her parents again. This wasn't a 'horrors of colonialism' story, but rather a proposed solution when she found out there were Pakistani kids in my class that spoke A Foreign Language and had taught me some words of Urdu. We didn't see her often, probably for lots of good reasons, but at least partly because she held my mother in complete contempt for not only leaving a good steady job to go to university, but doing it in Aberystwyth. I only knew her as a mean old lady and maybe she always would have been but I'd be interested to know how she might have grown up to be if she hasn't been taught to be ashamed of where she came from.

...huh. I've never heard the rubber band trick. The cane for the Welsh Not, but not this one.

God, it's depressing though, isn't it? We all react to trauma in different ways. My mother's step-mother sounds very similar; technically from North Wales, but Jesus you wouldn't know it, and she's a screaming asshole. My grandfather was as English as they come, and tried to pay my father to leave my mother after my sister was born because "No grand-daughter of mine is growing up Welsh." (I would have been a tremendous disappointment if he'd lived to see me grow up, lol.) The wicked step-mother was fully in agreement.

We lost so many people to the whole thing

Fandom Problem 4426:

The fandom considered a biracial (half Pakistani half American) actress a WOC right up until she said she dislikes the character she plays. Her character is the most popular among the fandom. The fans reacted by calling the actress white and telling her to stop taking roles from "real" WOC. Her character is also Pakistani-American. American fans now want her recast with an Indian actress and can't see why Pakistani fans have a problem with this.

Thalia taking bby Jason with her and Chiron doing the he's different but I can't say why speech.

But added with my hc of the Grace siblings being Pakistani.

Because it makes it so much worse.

And continues the tradition of Camp Half-blood being unintentionally racist and problematic.

The other 2 examples are when Piper Mclean and Carter Kane react to being called halfbloods.

Chiron: That baby can't be here it's different.

Pakistani Thalia: Holding bby Jason... Say that again... I dare you.

Chiron: It's just, people like him don't belong here realisation oh...

Tell me! About the new wip! Yell things! Plz!

mundus transit et concupiscentia eius

Title: DREAMHUNTERS. or SOMNUS SANCTI. or THE SANDMEN'S SCHOOL FOR SLEEPLESS YOUTH. idk hfjfjgfgj

Age range: MG or YA (haven't yet decided the MCs' ages...) Genre: urban fantasy, high school fantasy, light horror Main characters: Zack, white British bi trans boy, 13-15, absolute coward and proud of it. Sour and sneaky, he doesn't know how to do this whole friend thing and doesn't intend to start. Reacts to kindness like a feral kitten to strokes; would lie about getting bitten in a zombie apocalypse. Zoe, Pakistani-British hijabi bi cis girl, 13-15. Fun-loving and adventurous, she's the sunshine to Zack's scowl. In fact, she's a little too eager to throw herself into danger. She has all the self-preservation instinct of a gingernut biscuit and (worse yet, if you ask Zack) a deep-seated desire to do the right thing. Vanderloss, Black British disabled Ehlers-Danlos enbie, 26-ish. An overpowered disaster of a teacher. Despite caring deeply for all xer little brats, xe remains an extremely distractable dork. Has lost children on school trips. Will do it again. I love xem anyway. <3

Every night in Cambridge, the Time Eater clock strikes twelve.

Then it strikes thirteen.

And the monsters come out.

Reality and Dream: two worlds in a locked orbit, converging only at their furthest-flung edges. During the thirteenth hour, when time traps mortals like flies in tree sap, nightmares seep into our realm and devour human minds. They leave comatose victims in their wake, lost to the deadly Sleeping Sickness, as well as a constant, palpable undercurrent of fear.

But the nightmares should be frightened, too.

Beneath the grand Gothic vaults of Trinity and Kings lies another world of academia - one far more ancient, devoted to the arcane. Every year, a hundred humans are born a step outside of time, able to walk through the inverted lightscape of the Thirteenth Hour as if they too are spun not from substance, but surreality. The Sandman Academy gathers these youths, grants them their hourglasses - containing solidified granules of sunlight, the only effective weapon against dreams - and trains them to fight for all humanity.

And to die.

Horribly.

Torn apart by their worst nightmares.

So, when Zack Strange is chosen as one of humanity's guardians, you can see why his reaction is no way in hell. Allergic to risk-taking, conflict, things that go boo in the night (and, some would say, fun) Zack just wants to restart his nice, normal life at his nice, normal school, under his new name. And to find a binder that's comfy for PE class. Is that really too much to ask?

In contrast, when Zoe Ansari received a giant hourglass and was told she would train to slay nightmares, her only question was when do we start? Zoe quickly falls in love with the warped Escher-world of the Thirteenth Hour. She knows no fear. She knows no danger. She knows, if you ask Zack, far less than she thinks she does, and is likely to get herself and everyone in a ten-mile radius dead - which makes it a crying shame that he's her training partner.

Zack grudgingly joins the Sandmen in the hopes that they can save his grandma, who is in hospital after having her mind stolen by a dream. But shadowed secrets lurk in the heart of their new school. When Zack and Zoe discover a dangerous truth about the Sleeping Sickness, they will be forced to question their loyalty to the school and each other, and what it truly means to be brave.

I haven't done any posts about general episode thoughts in a long time but I figure I ought to bring it back for Kamala's MCU debut, what with my icon being her right now and also what with her being my favorite Marvel character and my introduction to the comics.

I really think they captured Kamala's character well here and Iman Vellani is a delight playing her! It is interesting that they changed Kamala from being a fanfic writer to being a YouTuber discussing the Avengers, but it makes sense. I'll miss the fanfic angle but since fanfic of the Avengers in-universe is basically RPF, that probably gets into weird territory.

Now I'm not of Pakistani descent but I am Indian-American, and I'm Muslim, so I think I can speak to the accuracy of the cultural stuff. Honestly, I think it was dead on. The Bollywood music was a really nice touch, and I loved the scattered Urdu phrases throughout. And the aunty gossip is too real. I remember when a family friend was getting engaged to a white girl, the gossip was raging! (They all still came to the wedding though.) Also the Halal Guys shout out had me laughing, especially since I was considering getting lunch from there earlier today!

The family dynamic is very compelling and there was a lot that rang true for me. Honestly my parents would have reacted the exact same way if I'd asked to attend any cons. It was a bit amusing that the dialogue there seemed to be lifted from the comics since in the comics Kamala was actually asking to go to a party but it still worked because desi parents do overexaggerate things! That being said, I am kind of wary of how they've firmly slotted Muneeba as the "strict" parent and Yusuf as the "nice" parent when they were both equally strict in the comics. I don't know that I like that change. Anyway I'm also liking her sibling dynamic with Aamir and I'm looking forward to when we see his fiancee since she was really cool in the comics.

Kamala's and Bruno's dynamic is really fun. I did catch those ship teasing, which is... fine, they did that in the comics too. Anyway, they bounce off each other well! I enjoyed what little we saw of Nakia too and I hope we see more of her.

As expected, since I'm ornery like that, I still don't like the changes to her powers. I do appreciate the comic references though, like when she rescued Zoe in a similar way. And the end credits sequence with the art from the comics was VERY cool!

I am cautiously optimistic about the rest of this series!

Alright, I need to go on a social media break for a month for a number of reasons, but including that my sense of contempt has gotten too strong and is leaking into my writing.

If you know that video of two teenage girls carjacking a Pakistani Uber Eats driver in D.C., driving the car down the street while he still has his foot in it, then flipping the car on its side, leaving the original driver dead in a crumpled heap on the sidewalk, like a puppet with cut strings, right in front of a US National Guardsman...

I don't hate any of the people in that scene, not the National Guardsman who couldn't have reacted fast enough, not even the teenagers.

But someone got it into their heads that it was acceptable, that it was normal to carjack people, that it was no big deal and that it's not like it's something you could be killed for doing or which could kill someone - or for which you should even be arrested. They were probably even told that it was "justice" that they were owed for their ancestors' suffering.

That sort of person.

Someone who should have known better.

Someone who could have at least chosen to shut up instead of lie.

See you all next month.

Himalayan Pink Salt

What is Himalayan pink salt?

As the name suggests it is a pink salt that is found and mined in Himalaya. However, the pink salt you find in your grocery store or dollar stores or even metaphysical shops, might be mined from Pakistani salt mines particularly the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan’s northern Punjab region.

Why is pink salt pink?

Pink salt gets it light pink color from the different minerals that are in it such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper and iron. It mainly gets it color from the iron oxide, giving it that dusty, coppery pink color. Pink salt gets it minerals from underground sea deposits, where the sea water evaporated and the tectonic plates shifted and created the mountains where the salt mines are located today.

Why is it important to know what our minerals are made out of?

It’s very important to know what our minerals are made out of. Because, depending on what it is made out of, it’s color, and structure are very important. Like with pink salt I’ve seen it used as a energetic cleanser because it is a salt, for love magick because it is pink. But, it can also be used for very strong protection magick because of its iron content. Why is iron protective? Iron is associated, at least in my practice, with Ares and Mars the god and planet of war, high emotion, and survival. It was one of the most abundant metals on earth, making it the most accessible metal for weapons and warriors. Warriors use iron weapons and shield for protection in battle. The symbols or Ares include the spear and sword, two items used in both defensive and offensive ways of protecting the wielder. Iron has also been used in many cultures as a very powerful way to ward off evil, spirits, and even the fair folk, in things like jewelry, horseshoes, idols, nails, used in cemeteries, etc. for protection.

Pink salt: you can also find it called pink halite online. Since halite is a salt mineral.

Planet: Earth, Mars (because of its iron content)

Element: Earth

Energy: Feminine

Signs: Cancer, Pieces

Deities: Ares, Aphrodite she was born of the sea and this salt gets its minerals form sea deposits. Personally I would associate it with Hestia too, because of the increase of people using it in cooking and more domestic manners.

Properties: purification, love magick, grounding work, and protection magick

How you can use it:

• Protection, you could use a pink salt rock lamp or chunks or pieces to cleanse and protect the space around it. You can put it in protection spells to help bring a nice strong protection energy to them.

• Love magick, pink is one of the colors of romance and love in my practice and many others. So you could use this salt in spells to strengthen love spells or love relationships. And for my divine feminines, salt is associated with the feminine so it might be a good idea to incorporate them into your divine feminine rituals. Like, with helping strengthening your self image or clearing your mind of self doubt.

• Grounding and cleansing, because it is a salt mineral you can of course use it in cleansing rituals, just like normal table or other sea salts it will help soak up non beneficial energy. But, pink salt and salt in general are earth elements which means you can use them in ground rituals. You can meditate with them to bond and connect with the energy of pink salt, but you can just touch and play with it. Understand how it moves, feels, and tastes this should help you ground and be in the moment. I do this when I don’t quite understand the energy of a material and what I can do with it, it helps me bond and understand what it would like to be used for.

And please remember to never throw salt out into the earth. This can hurt the plants’ roots that are there, because it hurts the soil and water quality for plants. And please watch how your body reacts to the salt. If you are using it in consumable magick pay attention if your body is telling you that you are consuming too much. Please be responsible, safe, and earth friendly with your craft. Blessed be :)

No but actually, your assessment of how people lack appreciation for nuances in dramas is so true. It’s not just acting; people can’t appreciate subtleties in writing, either. People always complain of Saas-bahu dramas yet they can’t handle anything besides the overt nature of good Vs evil.

Mein is a good, recent example. Mubashira is — for Pakistani TV standards — a sort of well-written character with bipolar disorder. I say this as someone in the medical field and with family members with BPD. Ayeza has even said mubashira has BPD, but if you read the comments the majority of people are saying Ayeza is “overacting”. Like no bro she’s not overacting (imagine saying Ayeza khan can’t act lolol) she’s having manic episodes, and pretty good ones for PTV standards, but people aren’t willing to appreciate how much work she has put into this character because this character can’t easily be boxed into a category. (To be clear the writing of mubashira isn’t totally flawless like they confused a psychiatrist for a therapist but again it’s the best I’ve seen)

Slightly related but wahaj recently wore a pink Kurta for his MayaPret shoot and the comments under there are filled with demasculinizing wahaj, and this is coming from all genders. Like appreciating nuances are one thing. We have a longgggg way to go if men are still made fun of for wearing pink.

you said it. from what I have observed in terms of how acting is termed by the reviewers as "good" or "bad" very basically falls under the description of, "was it obvious?" even then it has to be obvious at just the right decibel. otherwise it's loud and overacting.

another thing that is often not taken into consideration is how much of a say TPTB have about how a project is executed. i know for a fact that different directors demand different kinds of acting from the actors. some directors specifically WANT the loudness because to them that's how a particular emotion will be best show on screen. some directors go for the subtlety. some want silence to do its job while the actor just occupies the space. and there are cases where the directors are instructed by the channel heads to shoot the project on a certain frequency. no project is made in a vacuum. there are so many decision makers operating behind the doors whose names we don't even know. we only see and react to what we have access to.

khair, acting is an art and while it can be studied and critiqued, there's no set-in-stone parameter by which we can judge its quality. or you can if you really want to but god i am just so tired by life in general to want to get into all that. so, I just stick to the very basic rule for judging an acting performance - did it move me? if yes, then it's a good acting performance. if not then bhale hi uss insaan ko laakhon oscar kyun na mile ho, for me it will never be good. for instance, Iqra Aziz was the best part of Ranjha Ranjha Kardi even if Imran Ashraf continues to make Bhola his entire personality. i won't sit and argue with anyone about it - that's just how my heart works.

AND OMG YES PLS TELL ME ABOUT HOW *FINE* WAHAJ LOOKS IN PINK?!?!?! THE MAN CARRIED THE COLOR BEAUTIFULLY!! SUCH A WELCOME BREAK FROM ALL THE MONOTONY OF BLACK&WHITE!!! FUCK ALL THE HATERS! HE'S A BEAUTIFUL MAN AND THE SOFTNESS OF THAT PINK WITH HIS UNDENIABLE CHARM CREATED AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PICTURE!!! the ones hating on him are only jealous cuz they know they cannot carry the color well.

Muslims hardly give a damn about Jews. But, Muslims crying over Palestine must remember Black September.

Israel has come a long way since it started from zero and layed it's foundation in the middle East. Obviously eversince it's existance, neighborhood bullied them. And nobody has to even predict why.

Israel's location, it's the only country which isn't a follower of Islam. When the entire neighborhood is Islamic, how would they even tolerate a neighbour who is a Kaafir? And worse, a jew.

It's a fact that Islamists hate jews.

it's only because, Jews are involved, the entire Arab world wants to bully Israel. Taking Palestine as an excuse. Otherwise, there are many Islamic countries in Africa who are at war to this day, they stopped giving a damn about Syria now. They don't bother with issues within the Islamic countries. Nope! "We don't care about having food but we want jihad"

The Black September.

Why did it happen? Wasn't it the benevolence of Jordan which gave shelter and rights to Palestinians?

What was the price of the benevolence?

PLFP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) in Jordan, attacked the Jordanian govt. Officials. They called themselves Fidayeen. Lol.

The same Jordan which was on it's agenda against Israel was now getting attacked by it's very own ally, the Palestinians.

not only were they adamant to have a seperate governance in the west bank, they demanded the removal of Hashemite monarchy of Jordan.

PLFP and DLFP (Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine) , combined forces and dared to overthrow the govt. Of that very own country which gave them shelter. (talk about repaying the kindness).

No wonder no Arab nation wants to give any refuge to Palestinians knowing their history.

Islamic Radicalism. The cause of all the problems.

These Fidayeen beheaded people and played football with their heads. It's not a joke, they seriously did.

Jordanian govt. Was in dilemma, they wanted the Arab world support and the Palestinian support (meaning palestinians didn't mind the existence of Fidayeen) hence, not able to take direct action against these crazy radicals who had no value for human life. Human Animals of Palestine.

Jordan took some help from Egypt and put forth an agreement, which said "don't carry ammunition in public, storing weapons in villages and having big gatherings without informing " obviously, peace and Islamic jihad can never coexist. Fidayeen reacted and reacted violently.

Kuwait (a damned terrorist funding outfit), Saudi Arabia (a hypocrite), Libya (the creator of Gaddafi) all funded and supported Fidayeen (unbelievable).

Jordan had to take Israel's Help and America too.

Fidayeen blew up Planes. Blackmailed Europe and Israel to release their terrorists.

some crazy radicals within Jordan were supporting the idea of Jordan becoming a Palestinian state (in india we call such people Namak. haraam).

Zia Ul Haq

The man the legend the Criminal. Pakistani man, who was called by Jordan to massacre. Iran as well was involved in this scene. They won.

This is black September. The test of Muslim brotherhood.

Islam has never tolerated the existence of other religions. They are the assailants, they are the victims. Only they are responsible for their misery. No other.

Analizing the post of hate directed to Ms. Marvel:

RACISM, RELIGION AND BIGOTRY

- people who are mad about a show that has a pakistani muslim girl as protagonist

- very religious people who think that Kamala should be like Nakia and wear an hijab all the time

- people who hate Nakia because Yasmeen Fletcher is not a fully turkish muslim, but an half-white christian

GOOD CRITICS (no spoilers):

- people who think the show should be more close the the comic

- people who criticize the fact this show is a teen drama

- Najma is a bit over-reacting all the time

- the fact screenplayers fucked up at some point, despite having a good material for adaptation and a great casting, screenplayers weren't able to develop a good plot over six episodes

- screenplayers took one of the most successful characters Marvel unveiled in the past decade, with a large audience reach, changed a lot of important details, and ruined it, failing to explain why all those badly mash-up of events were happening

- even if their rapresentation of Pakistani-American community is really good and the historical events of Partition have been praised by fans as well-depicted, this show doesn't have a plot strong enaugh to collect togheter all the six episodes in a well-made story
