Hiiiii

Idea!: Pavitr is completely, entirely, utterly head over heels in love for Miles, but the latter is oblivious to all of it. Hobie and Gwen are trying to help Pavitr but they aren't exactly expert in wooing people

THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN EHEH

I'm also gonna put an hint of GhostPunk here, just to spice things up

Thank you for your request!!

.....-----.....-----.....-----.....-----.....-----.....-----.....

When Pavitr falls for someone, he falls hard

And this time he fell for a certain Brooklyn boy...

Pavitr constantly talks about Miles to everyone and everything, thinks about him day and night, finds himself casually sketching Miles on his books while he studied

He watches Bollywood romantic movies fantasizing about him and Miles being the protagonists, sees couples walking down the street and wished they were him and Miles, listens the love songs all day thinking about him

The whole Spider Society knows about this, even Miguel does!

Even Pavitr's friends and close family know

Everyone knows, aside from...

Miles himself.

He is completely oblivious to everything

Miles just goes on with his day in the headquarters, and it seems like he doesn't even hear all the gossip surrounding him and Pavitr

And when people make him notice how much Pavitr seems to like him he just goes like

"Yeah right? Pavitr is such a nice friend!"

And Pavitr would genuinely punch him because of how stupid and oblivious he is

Now, Pav would confess to Miles considering the latter doesn't plan on making any kind of first step

The problem is he doesn't know how

When he got with Gayatri she was the one to confess first, he just had to say "yes"

But this time? He was the one to make the move, and he didn't know where to start

What should he do? Should he do it the classic way or find a personal and original one?

Pav figured it was best to ask for help, but who to ask?

Miguel is an absolute no, Jess isn't interested in teenage drama, Peter managed to divorce his wife and get back with her, Ben is another no

It's an extremely hard search considering half the spider-people lost their loved ones and aren't comfortable talking about romance

The ones left are Hobie and Gwen, who recently got together

Pavitr desperately reaches them and begs them to help and they're like

"Say no more mate, we gotcha"

But in reality they're probably the worst ones to ask for help about romance

Considering they don't know any other way to help him, they decide to take as an example their love story

And they realize it's the worst example ever

"Hobie, dude, how did you confess to Gwen??" "...I didn't??"

Gwen and Hobie skipped all that wooing part where they confess and kiss under the glimmering starry sky and live their happily ever after, they just started acting like a couple after they understood they had a connection

And that's it-

They tried giving advices, but none of them were actually helpful and only confused Pav more and more

"Why don't you bring him to an anarchist riot?" "Gwen, that might have worked with Hobie, but I doubt it'd work on miLES-"

The only good advice they gave was the extremely classic and cliche

"I dunno mate, be yourself I guess?"

And the fun part is that when Pav and Miles got together, Hobie and Gwen had the audacity to say it was thanks to them if things between them worked so well

There's fun bits, for sure. Sohail/Isha's story is, while (quite) a bit ridiculous, fun. Also, way too short - they're barely there. John/Vidya's story is sad, but there's interspersed comedy which is fun. Govinda's story has also got it's moments. Unfortunately, even with a near 4-hour run-time, there isn't enough time to really introduce many of our characters beyond simple trait or two (doesn't clean up after himself, but is truly in love; ass; ass; super ass; daft; horny; brainwashed by the patriarchy; clueless; unlucky enough to be in 2 big accidents).

The Priyanka/Salman story is probably a bit ridiculous, but is also very "showbiz". At least Tinu Anand's character isn't a complete ass. The Ayesha/Akshay story feels very similar to Shaadi Se Pehle, which released the year before this movie. And not in a good way (I did enjoy that movie, at least in parts) - he just seems like a hammy character who doesn't really deserve the happy ending he gets.

That the Juhi/Anil story ended the way it did, with her essentially ignoring everything for the sake of family, feels exactly like the ending we got from the Shilpa/Shiny/Kay Kay story from Life in a ... Metro (which, like Salaam-e-Ishq, also released in 2007) and is, quite honestly, frustrating/disappointing and, probably, very much Bollywood/cultural bowing down to "marriage" and "family." Like, I get it, but ... she deserves better. The idea that her entire happiness revolves entirely around his happiness and she just has to ignore everything (luckily for her, she wasn't there to watch that disaster of 'creepy clean-shaven Anil dances at a bar') is ridiculous. She should've left him.

Also, that plane thing - it's 2007! How the fuck is he running through the gateway into a boarded plane ... and they let him have a full on conversation with her? Like, that should be impossible - Bollywood romanticization of last-second airplane scenes or not. Catch the next flight, asshat. Hell, earlier, you even fucking lied to your kids. Also, don't they close the doors at the gate once the airplane is boarded? He would've needed one of their passes/codes to open that. Everyone at the airplane failed there, if we're being honest.

I think if we rated the stories in terms of just overall fun/best story, it'd be: 1) John/Vidya (for a touch of drama, without being overly crazy), 2) Govinda/Shannon Esra (I get why he didn't tell her, but also, like, tell her, you daft fool!), 3) Sohail/Isha (we needed more of them, but also, like, there's no story here at all; it entirely depends on you being able to laugh at his/their misery), 4) Priyanka/Salman (there is some emotion/humanity that they come close to hitting here, but the background just makes the whole thing kinda creepy), 5) Ayesha/Akshaye (Ayesha deserves better; Akshaye's a loser, but the other guy she was going to marry is somehow worse), and 6) Juhi/Anjana/Anil (yikes; no; yuck).

Speaking of Ayesha's suitors - how the fuck does she see this whole thing unfold with groom and Stephanie and then just be like "yeah, lets continue." And how does her father, or mother, or sister, or brother-in-law (the ass that Anil is, even he should know better) not just be like "wait, no, don't."? Not one person is willing to step up and be like "this is a mistake" - Ayesha's character needs to scrap everyone in her life and start over, now.

And then, mid-wedding, Priyanka and Salman decide "eh, let's just have a full heart-to-heart (and propose!), while everyone at the wedding is waiting for us to finish so they can finish their 7 pheres." What a disaster.

At least the songs are good - but honestly, while they do go on for a bit (and, early on, come in quick succession), for a nearly 4-hour movie, one could argue that there aren't enough songs. I do love them all though, especially the title song, Mera Dil, and Tenu Leke.

In terms of "massive cast/multistory" films in 2007, Honeymoon Travels was undoubtedly better (even with the random foray into the supernatural/superpowers), and apparently Just Married (which I haven't seen yet) was also better (I believe it). A big starcast is nice, but it can't save a movie where we have little plot and even less character building.

lol, since no one is going to see this, I might as well pour my heart out here 🤪 this girl ik on instagram is so pretty. Oh my fucking god. is this called a crush? We haven't met each other irl and even online, we're not that close, so I don't think that i "like" her.

But yeah, she's easily the prettiest person I have ever seen, and the thing is, idk how to explain this, but she looks so real? Like when I come across Instagram models, sure, they are very good looking too, but they don't make you feel things, yk? But this girl? Her face is just so full of life; it almost makes me want to live. She makes me feel like when you're in the hills, and you feel like, damn, the earth isn't such a bad place after all. And her smile, god, is so beautiful that sometimes I think that yk there is a god up there that creates people coz she is just too beautiful to have been created randomly by science. There's this incident when Yashoda looked inside Krishna's mouth; she could see the whole universe. Sometimes when I see her smiling, I get that feeling. Everything felt so alive, and I could just keep looking at her smile. I love old Bollywood songs, and some of the lyrics are so good, but I often thought there was no way the lyricist truly feels that way about love, and it's just all for show. But after seeing her, I get their point. She makes me feel things I previously thought I was incapable of feeling. Like there's this famous couplet, "why do you look in the mirror, you are more beautiful than yourself." (the translation doesn't really do justice but still) I always thought no human is that pretty, and the poet exaggerates. But this girl really is THAT pretty.

Here's the enigma tho, I've made it clear how beautiful she is but is it possible to like someone without really knowing them? And also, the fact that I have never seen her irl makes me feel all the more dubious. So idek how I really feel, which is very, very unsettling tbh. But yeah, it's kinda nice writing stuff knowing no one's gonna read it, lol.

Also, if she ever finds this post, I'll disappear from the face of this earth, lol.

Omg bestie same !! I would love to see her collab with Harry too because that would simply be iconic💖 and if not him maybe with Niall and Louis because I love them soo and you know Niall has always been so vocal about how he loves her songwriting and music and how he’d love to collab with her and she did bring his a surprise guest on the two tour so it would make sense to collab ✨

Ooh wow that’s cool and that makes me so happy that you’ve had authentic Indian food and liked it 💖 anddd that you’ve seen Bollywood movies !! Alsoo yeah it’s probably the percussions that make the songs sound similar I liked it the whole vibe of the of the song! Those are some good dishes that you like, personally I’m not a fan of aloo gobi just because I don’t like cauliflower but I like the flavour of the dish when it’s just the potato ¿?😭😂 but I love paneer tikaa masala and noo you spelt it perfectly and I agree jalebi is yumm I love it too💜 !!

Nicee I love milk chocolate too but I think white chocolate is on par with milk chocolate for me I love both so much ! And soo many people aren’t a fan of white chocolate so it’s valid that you eat it when you mum makes something with it 😂

Alsoo I’m so happy mick finally got to drive th w14 he looked soo happy 🥺💖🤍

-💖

especially if they collab over style or something?? i would actually lose it😭 i mean she did a collab with zayn so her collabing with the rest of the guys doesn't seem that impossible to me👀 but i would love to see her collab with niall because a) their vibes just match, and b) i adore his song writing😭🥹 and the fact that he's been vocal about it?? it could be a possibility🥹

my sister's best friend is also indian, and their family invited us over for dinner one time too, and it was amazing😭 🫶🩷🩷i absolutely love how the spices blend, and it even reminds me of turkish food a little bit!! oh i totally get it, i used to hate cauliflower too, but it kind of grew on me, especially if you can hide the taste well with spices and stuff🤭 💜💜

knowing that white chocolate is basically oil just makes me not want to eat it for some reason?? (i sound like yolanda hadid🫣) but i guess i'm kind of spoiled because i just ask my mom to cook things for me if i want to give something a fair chance because she just makes everything taste good😭🩷🩷

YESS!! it looked like he did a great job on the track, and he looked so happy in all the pictures, i'm so proud of him🥹💜🫶

The "Cave of Two Lovers" foreshadows the Zutara interactions in "Crossroads of Destiny"

[And maybe after that too; (yeah this part will be purely based on speculation)]

(See also: A meta that everybody has already written but I haven't because I was living under a rock and watched Avatar very recently)

Like seriously, it is so obvious? I see people try to interpret "The Legend Of Oma and Shu" in so many other ways; like yeah, you're free to interpret it however you want but— most people try to make sense of it while thinking that the tale is just a random occurrence? But it's not.

And here's why:

(I'm so sorry, I tried to add the "keep reading" link here because this gets kinda long but it just won't work) (Also click on the pictures if you want better resolution).

The tale of Oma and Shu is about two lovers who belonged to villages that were at war against each other. To continue meeting each other, they learnt earthbending to create caves in the mountain that divides the two villages. But one day Shu didn't come to the caves. He'd died in the war. So Oma unleashed a terrifying display of her power. And then when people were willing to listen to her, she called off the war and strived for peace between both the villages. As a result the city of Omashu was created— as a monument in remembrance of their love.

So in comparison:

1. Two people belonging to the opposite sides of the war

(Other than the 100 year old war that has been going on, Zuko and Katara are involved in a very fundamental conflict: Capture the Avatar Vs. Protect the Avatar.)

2. With the same colour scheme:

3. Share intimate moments in a cave lit by green crystals:

A popular argument for this comparison is that; Oma and Shu had a positive impressions of each other when they first met. Unlike Zuko and Katara where Katara's first impression of Zuko was pretty negative because he invaded her village.

Zuko and Katara's first proper conversation happens in "Crossroads of Destiny" i.e.; the scene I'm talking about here. After this interaction that they have, I think it's safe to say that they did have positive impressions of each other. (Until Zuko made the wrong choice.)

Other than that, about the colour scheme being a coincidence: Here and here are posts by @marsreds about how the colours are definitely not a coincidence.

But seriously guys? Oma and Shu were the FIRST EARTHBENDERS and yet, instead of greens and yellows they were designed with RED and BLUE?!? (I'll take about Oma's green dress below.)

And on that note, why were Zuko and Katara the only ones who were thrown into the catacombs when everybody else was being held at the dungeons? The dungeons wouldn't have been easy to escape, neither for Zuko nor for Katara.

It's because Zuko and Katara were meant to share an intimate moment in a cave that was supposed to jog our visual memory to remind us of the caves built by Oma and Shu.

(Seriously though, I wasn't really paying attention during CoTL and thought that the Omashu legend was just put in to consume screen time, so I missed the red/blue thing. But then I watched CoD and saw the catacombs and I was like: "Isn't this like that cave made by the lovers?" And then I proceeded to have an oh shit moment because, I knew that Zutara was not canon so I never even considered the possibility of the narrative hinting at anything between them but then this happened. I mean, it's pretty darn obvious).

The colour of the crystals being the same in both caves is no coincidence either— if they just wanted two random caves with crystals, then they could've used a different colour because crystals of different colours exist:

Moving on,

The Visual Cues:

According to the colour coding Zuko = Oma (red) and Katara = Shu (blue).

So,

EXHIBIT A:

I feel like this one speaks for itself.

(I personally think that in this parallel Oma is in red because Katara at this point still sees Zuko as the face of the Fire Nation.)

EXHIBIT B:

This sequence of frames show Oma (dressed in green, like Zuko was in the catacombs) and Shu (dressed in his usual blue), standing on neutral territory and reaching out to each other and then being torn apart by the war.

Pretty much like:

The first time they are in each other's presence without the cause of their conflict (i.e. the Avatar), Zuko and Katara reach out to each other empathetically and attain bone deep understanding of each other within a matter of minutes. This whole encounter is in Ba Sing Se, which counts for the neutral territory because it hadn't been completely taken over by Fire Nation at that point.

And honestly? The raw vulnerability and intimacy of this scene and the high emotional energy of their powerful dynamic is just— wow. (I put off my binging spree for a whole day because I didn't have the heart to see Zutara not become canon after all of this.)

And soon after, Zuko and Katara face each other in battle, their tentative friendship torn apart, as they fight from their respective sides of the war.

EXHIBIT C:

Whenever Oma and Shu appear in the same frame during the visualization of the legend, Oma is always on the left half of the frame and Shu is on the right.

Similarly, throughout all their interactions in the Catacombs, whenever the frame exclusively includes Zuko and Katara, Zuko (like Oma) is on the left half of the frame and Katara (like Shu) is on the right.

The parallels (or foils rather):

In CoTL, we see Song who is a healer (cures Iroh of his poisoning). She mentions that she hasn't seen her father since a Fire Nation raid took place in her village. Zuko empathises with her and says that he too hasn't seen his father in a long while. But then he refuses to say anything else about it.

Later Song tries to reach out to Zuko and tries to touch his scar— which Zuko prevents her from. She shows Zuko her own scars to show that she understood him.

And yet, Zuko doesn't open up to her.

After a while of life-changing and eye-opening experiences, in CoD, when Katara has her meltdown and cries while saying that her mother was snatched away from her by the Fire Nation; Zuko sees an opening to offer an olive branch and he takes it, he empathises with her and tells her that how his mother was snatched away by the Fire Nation as well.

Then Zuko opens up to Katara in a show of complete vulnerability. He openly talks about his scar and what he feels about it. In response, Katara offers to heal his scar and then Zuko lets her touch his scar.

It was nothing but a deliberate choice to make Song slightly parallel Katara (a healer, lost a parent because of the war) and then making Zuko not open up to her and not let her touch the scar, only for Katara to be the one he opened up to and allowed to touch the scar.

After being trapped with Aang in the cave in CoTL and sharing an intimate moment with him, as soon as they find their way out, Katara runs straight ahead without looking back.

But after her time with Zuko, trapped in the Catacombs in CoD, while leaving she turns back to look at Zuko.

Judging by the amount of time the animation puts into showing us Aang's disappointment at Katara running off and into making it clear that Katara did look back at Zuko and that Zuko looked right back at her, to me, it feels like the choice to show this was pretty deliberate.

(Turning back to look at a person while leaving is a romantic trope that has been overused to death? Or is it just bollywood?)

Also I wouldn't have paid this much attention to this small detail if not for the fact that just a hint of the Omashu legend theme is played here?

No, I swear I'm not making it up.

The Omashu legend theme is used in CoD:

The Omashu legend theme is largely dominated by the music of a stringed instrument (forgive me, I don't know what it's called) alongwith a steady melody playing in the background.

In CoD, when Katara and Zuko start conversing for real, (i.e.; when Katara says: "I'm sorry I yelled at you.") what sounds like a variation of the background melody in the Omashu legend theme, starts its subtle ascent as the background score, but sans the music of the stringed instrument.

It is when Katara says: "Maybe you could be free of it." [About Zuko's scar], when then first hint of the stringed instrument is heard. It is only a single note of the strings but it's there. And this "single note" sound keeps on repeating at regular intervals with the melody building up until Aang and Iroh burst into the catacombs.

But then, when Katara is leaving with Aang and she turns back to look at Zuko, this time the music that plays for a few seconds at best, is dominated by the stringed instrument again and this time it's unmistakable.

Also I don't think this music is used anywhere else in the course of the whole show? So it can't really be a coincidence? But I don't really know. I'm saying this on the basis of as far as my memory can reach.

And this is as far as canon stands testimony to what I am trying to say here.

But what about the second half of the story yk, the dying thing, you say?

Well this is where the speculations come in.

Speculation Time:

As a thumb rule, a romance foreshadowed by a tragic tale is meant to have a happy ending.

So this time when Katara's (Shu) life is in danger (Azula's lightning bolt), Zuko (Oma) steps in at the nick of time to save her life (by jumping infront of Katara to intercept the lightning).

(Since I have crossed the limit of images in a post, here is a post by @araeph which illustrates this point.)

Yes, I am completely aware that Zuko taking the lightning bolt for Katara is not his declaration of love for her. What I mean to say is that the whole scene was so very painfully obviously romantically framed (the immediate change in music when Zuko realises where the lightning bolt was headed, both of their expressions, Zuko's agonized "Nooooo", the slow-mo throughout the shot).

I am also aware that Zuko would've taken the lightning bolt for anyone. But it is the narrative that demands that Zuko take the lightning bolt for Katara and Katara only. Because this has atleast 10 different payoffs (a direct callback to the Book 2 finale where Azula had shot Aang with the lightning; the grief of which was for Katara to bear but this time Zuko himself stands between the lightning and Katara instead of being the silent spectator, the culmination of both Zuko and Katara's personal character arcs, Zuko's scar would parallel Aang's: Aang got it because he chose Katara over the world and Zuko got it because he was willing to give up the world to save Katara, etc, etc).

Tl;dr: The lightning scene wouldn't hold all that much weight if it wasn't Zuko taking the hit for Katara because the narrative literally demands it.

This is where we start wading into really murky waters.

From mucking around on Tumblr due to Zutara feels™, I came across this post where some of the ideas for Book 4 were written:

• The Southern Water Tribe experienced the longest series of attacks from the Fire Nation. Zuko and Katara become political partners and work together to help end the animosity and repair relations between their two nations.

• Just like how Zuko learned to appreciate the Earth Kingdom, he would learn to appreciate the Water Tribes. Katara also learns to respect the complexity of Fire Nation culture. There is no such thing as an “evil” nation.

And that basically means that Zuko and Katara would've been working together to de-escalate the hostility between their respective nations and improve the relations between the two nations, while learning about each other's cultures simultaneously as the world would be in the process of being rebuilt after the war and they would be major role-players in shaping the new world.

Which is quite similar to how Oma strived for peace between the two villages and then as a result of the improved relations between the villages, the city of Omashu was built as a monument to the love story of Oma and Shu; which might just be symbolic of building a new world where both the villages could live in peace due to the initiative taken by Oma on behalf of herself and Shu.

The story would've come a full circle; that's all I'm saying.

If you've stuck around for this long, thank you for taking the time to read this long ass post with points that you may already have read ♥️
