Tlok Lord of the rings au because i'm squishing my hyperfixations together like a crazy lil 5 year old.

Korra- I'd say dwarf... she matches the stereotypical dwarf personality to a T. Notoriously stubborn, loyal and hardy. The most resistant to the corruption of evil as well. Also, controversial opinion... out of the Krew, Korra deserves a beard most. Also. Give her an axe. Or a sledgehammer. Let her wreak havoc. I think her family would come from Khazad-dûm and be directly related to the line of Durin. Though I feel like she'd reside in the Blue Mountains and unlike most of her kin, she'd have an appreciation for water and the sea.

Asami- Elf. Elf. With her glorious hair and agility??? Hell yeah. She'd be descended from the Avari and live in Mirkwood. I think the moral ambiguity and hostility of the Mirkwood elves touches nicely on Asami's original role as a villain. Also coming from such a combative area would have her learning combat as well, if even better, than her canon counterpart.

Also korrasami would be super cute as a dwarf/elf relationship lol. Korra's already canon shortie. And it would replicate their little rivalry in season 1. Just instead of fighting over Mako, they're fighting over centuries of mutual racial animosity.

Bolin and Mako - ok. Im getting real controversial here. Hobbits. Fucking hobbits. Now. Hear me out. More Brandybuck/Took coded hobbits I'd say. Probably grown up in Bree... tiny orphans in a big world. So sad.

Bolin is an easy pick. Although he's pretty big and bulky, his character has a lot in common with typical hobbits. Not a coincidence that my two fave characters are him and Samwise Gamgee... I love my dirt himbos. Bolin has that gentle, cheerful hobbit vibes. And he likes food too lol.

Mako also has hobbit vibes, I'd argue. However he has a lot of that hobbit typical caution ans suspicion towards the outside world. I could see him valuing a home and prosperity...give this man a hobbit hole He's so stressed he deserves it.

Tenzin, Kya and Bumi. - half elves, Rivendel. Tenzin is basically Elrond, ok? Bumi chose humanity good for him. Kai is the scruffy human they adopted à la Aragorn.

Lin and the Beifongs- honestly was stumped at this one... but I kinda think humans, particularly Dúnedain of Arnor. A noble people, now acting as Rangers, protectors of the land... matches Lin, our favourite chief of police, huh?

Suna hai aaj kal zara ghum-sum si rehne lagi ho

Kya baat hai kin khayalo mein khoyi hui ho?

Haan mai janti hoon akeli ho per kuch shor sa hai vaha

Kaha tha maine bata diya karo mujhe per tum sunti ho kaha

Janti hoon pasand hai tumhe shaam hote hi ghazle sunna

Or yuhi un lafzo ko bunte hue us chaand ka intezar karna

Kyuki vo ek chand hi hai jo sab janta hai mere baad

Vo sari baatein, shikaytein, or har ek vo yaad

Haan janti hoon naraz ho tum mujhse per ye bata do ki maine kiya kya hai?

Har roz tumhe gale lagati hoon mai per tum kabhi kaskar pakad ti nhi mujhe aisa maine dukh tumhe diya kya hai?

Ye jo puri duniya chhodker tumne is kamre ka kona chuna hai

Kya tum janti ho is duniya mein or kitni jagahen tumhare aane ka intezar karti rehti hai

Tumne likhna chhod diya to ab vo kalam bhi zara ghum si rehti hai

Tumhe lagta hai ki tum adrushya ho sabke liye, pagal tumhe kaise koi andekha kar sakta hai

Tum praan ho is srishti ka or ye duniya bas ek hissa h.

KaTaang vs. Zutara: on the basis of Cultural Imbalance.

Despite how much the ATLA showrunners do mental gymnastics to tell us Katara was totally fine being with the Avatar without taking a second to wonder how that would affect her personal wants/needs, it’s still apparent that the relationship had a cultural imbalance.

Everything about the narrative post-ATLA implies that Katara at some point had to set aside her dying Southern WaterTribe customs and focus on Aang’s practically extinct customs. Just as an example, see Katara’s behavior in The Rift comic, compared to Toph’s, when it comes to following traditions unquestionably. She supported Aang’s traditions and customs without even understanding where they were coming from, or wondering if they were outdated or went against things she believed in.

Also, to put things more in perspective about a woman of the SWT being with a young monk from the Air Temples...

Imagine, for a moment, that you were from a meat-eating culture and starting a relationship with someone whose not only a strict vegetarian... but someone who has a strong, deeply-rooted religious set of principles on how they see living creatures, conflict, and the universe in general-- not to mention, the only person in the world left behind to preserve and pass on this ancient way of life.

Yeah.

No way could Katara ever eat meat, or wear furs, or hang pelts in their house.

If anything, she would have her own separate SWT room to honor those things in her own private time. If she’s lucky, she would share these things with Kya and Bumi but definitely not Tenzin. Aang would not want his next of kin around anything that would taint the air-benders’ way of life. (It’s implied in Legend of Korra that Tenzin’s cultural upbringing was strictly air-nomad, too.)

Let’s not deny it; Katara was proud of her SWT heritage -- we see her passionately demonstrating so in episodes like “Imprisoned,” “Bato of the Southern Water Tribe,” and “The Puppetmaster” -- and there’s no convincing me that the Katara we saw in ATLA wouldn’t have fought hard to play an active part of the SWT cultural reconstruction, keeping those traditions alive not just in her homeland but in her own everyday life. I have a hard time believing that Katara and Aang didn’t fight at least once about this.

And you better believe that things got worse when they started having kids.

By then, Katara would be trapped in a relationship with the Avatar and the Last Airbender, internally dealing with the auto-forfeiture of her culture.

Furthermore, exploring the concept of parenting, Aang didn’t grow up with parents. He didn’t “get” the concept of co-parenting between a mom and dad. He didn’t really stay at the temples long enough to understand discipline - Gyatso seemed to go pretty easy on him on that regard. All Aang knew was mentorship from the monks, learning to deal with community and conflict in a peaceful, non-consequential way. Aang ran away at the age where he should have started learning about accountability and responsibilities... but he won the arrested-developmental lottery when he met Katara.

Katara was always vouching for Aang’s decisions, defending his behaviors, protecting his child-like innocence. Aang was comforted in this notion that Katara would always be there, at his side, with everything. She would always be there to physically and emotionally “pick up after him”. Katara groomed Aang to focus only on his duty as the Avatar and whatever he personally wanted/needed, setting aside her own needs and keeping any possible opposing opinions to herself. (This is grossly apparent with their behavior in the post-ATLA comics.).

This is the kind of behavior that validates why Katara’s character in Legend of Korra is placed in the sidelines, all of a sudden... only seen as the Avatar’s wife and mother to the Avatar’s children. She doesn’t carry an identity enough in the narrative to be praised by any of her accomplishments other than what she did for the Avatar.

(Yeah, Katara was a healer, and she did outlaw blood-bending... but did that really do anything? She wasn’t able to heal Korra either time she attempted to do so, and blood-bending was running rampant despite the outlaw. Plus, this is just a fraction of what Katara’s passion in the original show could’ve shown us. Our girl could’ve moved mountains for the new world, had her narrative been able to carry its own weight outside of the Avatar’s narrative.)

Compare all of that to Zuko, who understood fatherhood and learned about the qualities of kind, loving father thanks to his time with Uncle Iroh. He learned about the qualities of a healthy, supportive relationship based on partnership and honesty... because let’s be real: Zuko spent enough time with Sokka/Suki to know that was not the kind of relationship he had with Mai.

Zuko and Katara understood each other, communicated honestly and openly, and respected their wants/needs without forcing any ideas or principles on them. Zuko learned to respect and appreciate the SWT culture because of what his people did trying to conquer it... and I strongly believe he would help bring that nation back to fruition.

And, Katara and Zuko both come from meat-eating cultures.

Of course, Aang would feel hurt and bitter about Katara choosing Zuko at the end of the story... but I still imaging Aang growing out of that attachment, finally seeing what Katara wants and needs. He would support that relationship of his two best friends. The most selfless people he ever met. His mom, and his dad.

itni muddat baad mile ho

kin sochon mein gum phirte ho

itne Khaif kyun rahte ho

har aahat se dar jate ho

tez hawa ne mujh se puchha

ret pe kya likhte rahte ho

kash koi hum se bhi puchhe

raat gae tak kyun jage ho

mein dariya se bhi darta hun

tum dariya se bhi gahre ho

kaun si baat hai tum mein aisi

itne achchhe kyun lagte ho

pichhe mud kar kyun dekha tha

patthar ban kar kya takte ho

jao jit ka jashn manao

mein jhuta hun tum sachche ho

apne shahar ke sab logon se

meri khatir kyun uljhe ho

kahne ko rehte ho dil mein

phir bhi kitne dur khade ho

raat hamein kuchh yaad nahin tha

raat bahut hi yaad aae ho

hum se na puchho hijr ke qisse

apni kaho ab tum kaise ho

'mohsin' tum badnam bahut ho

jaise ho phir bhi achchhe ho

-mohsin naqvi

Ye jo koste hai meri kathorta ko,

Na jaane main kin patthar, pahaad, musibaton se takraya hounga.

Humne apno ka dil dukhaya hai,

Inn gairon ka dukhake, kya hi gham hoga.

Razortail/Pinetail/Chichilen

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Reptilia

Clade: Archosauromorpha

Clade: Crocopoda

Order: Rhynchosauria

Family: incertae sedis

Genus: Acanthocaudasaurus

Species: A. tahuretensis (“Tahureti spiny-tailed lizard”, “Tahureti” being a demonym for the historical region of Tahuret, a jungle and dry forest kingdom in northern Xenogaea)

Temporal range: Holocene to recent (10,000 kya - present); genetic divergence suggests a probable Miocene origin (10 mya - present).

Information:

A member of the rhynchosaur clade, this reptile’s placement within its own family is a contentious topic, in part due to its mix of basal and derived features. There are three competing theories regarding this, however: the first is that the razortail is a basal rhynchosaur which has convergently evolved derived rhynchosaur features (such as a partially beaked jaw), the second is that it is a derived rhynchosaur which has re-evolved several atavistic traits (such as the more slender, lizard-like build of earlier members of the clade), and the third and most widely-accepted theory being that it represents an early offshoot of the lineage leading to more derived forms, a so-called “missing link” between the two. Alas, this is not the only thing which makes this species quite unique compared to other members of its clade: an unusual example of an omnivore coming from an ancestrally herbivorous lineage, the razortail’s diet is best described as “indiscriminate”. Its main food sources consist largely of palm fronds, fallen fruits, nuts, seeds, large arthropods, small vertebrates (though it especially takes a liking for the multituberculates which share its habitat), and even eggs, the latter of which it actively seeks out. Individuals living in cities have been observed to even go after stray dogs and cats, as well as feral pigeons. Scavenging is also frequent, and cannibalism is documented but rare. Of course, with such indiscriminate dietary habits comes a high ecological pressure for competition, and as such, the razortail is fiercely territorial and reactive. However, while it extends such aggression towards its own kin mercilessly, rarely if ever tolerating the company of other razortails outside of its small hunting group, known as a caravan, with other animals, it is the embodiment of the phrase “its bark is worse than its bite”: it tends to flee from threats it does not believe it can successfully intimidate, though it may puff itself up and hiss and gurgle towards those it believes it can intimidate, throwing its spiny tail in front of it to add to the display. If approached or handled further, it may lunge forward, hissing and gurgling even more loudly, and will only bite if all else fails. The bite of this animal is deceptively strong, and can be strong enough to sever fingers and toes. That said, the amount of provocation it takes to get to this point is extreme, and to get bitten by this animal practically requires you to go looking to get bitten. Unfortunately, this animal often lives near human settlements, in part due to the easy source of food that is refuse piles and in part due to its acquired liking for coconuts and bananas, crops imported during medieval times by Austronesian sailors. As such, its relationship with the native inhabitants of the region is complicated, being simultaneously valued for its prowess for hunting the multituberculates and rodents which commonly eat crops but also detested or its own proclivity towards eating these crops itself.

Despite being only around the size of a Komodo dragon, this animal’s reputation far precedes it in the jungles and dry forests (and increasingly the neighboring grasslands) it calls home: this animal’s tendency to square up against significantly larger troodonts, dromaeosaurs, and even hyaenodonts has earned it the moniker of the “bulldog lizard” in some areas. Alas, this animal also squares up against rauisuchids and medium-sized theropods. So reviled is this creature by the animals it shares its ecosystem with, that dinosaurs which have lost chicks to razortails will abandon entire nests and start anew. Nonetheless, this animal is also preyed upon by the most brazen predators, its catalogue of predators including large theropods, amphicyonids, saber-toothed cats, prestosuchids, phytosaurs, hyaenids, hyaenodonts, oxyaenodonts, marsupial lions, sparassodonts, and humans. As such, this animal’s mottled, vibrant green and brown coloration is an adaptation which allows it to blend in with the foliage of its home. Another unique adaptation this animal has is its metabolism: a rare example of a heterothermic non-archosaurian diapsid, the razortail is able to inefficiently moderate its own internal temperature. However, as this is energetically costly, it typically relies on the surrounding environment to regulate its body temperature. With superb eyesight, the razortail is cathemeral and is able to be active in both the high afternoon sun and the pitch black of the midnight, hauling itself into the trees with its powerful forelimbs to sleep in the branches when not foraging or socializing. Able to run at speeds of up to 30 mph, this animal is also well-adapted for running fast in short bursts, something which aids it both in hunting and in fleeing from predators. This species appears to be uniquely resistant to the venom of many hymenopterans and snakes, the venom only knocking it unconscious for an hour or two before being metabolized. As such, it has little if any issue feeding on the nests of bees and wasps and is one of the few animals which control venomous snake populations. Some evidence suggest it engages in a form of commensalism with some species of therocephalians living in the same region as it, the more endothermic and muscular therocephalians serving as the brute force needed to make the kill while the razortails serve as the speed needed to corral prey into waiting jaws. This animal is quite versatile as well, and can regenerate damaged body parts with ease, even being able to regenerate parts of its eye if damaged. This species is one of the most successful in Xenogaea from a conservation standpoint, numbering nearly 2 million animals and counting, and its adaptability has allowed it to colonize previously uncharted territory for its species over a relatively short period of time, with most evidence pointing towards this species undergoing a distributive radiation. Likewise, this species’ presence in its native range is likely vital to the spread of the Xenogaean jungle pine, an araucarian conifer species found throughout the northern stretches of the Isle of Perils, as the razortail eats the cone by first crushing them before consuming them, spreading a few stray seeds on the ground in the process and allowing others to pass through its bowels to be excreted in its urea. Another thing to note about this bizarre creature is that the teeth at the front of the lower lip are fused into an exposed, bony plate whereas those on the top are concealed by lips.

In the winter months, when the tropical air is cooler, these animals are one of the few to make love. Congregating in massive groups, the males, whose hormones turn their throat pouches a vibrant blue and red during the mating season, are drawn in by the pungent pheromones the female produces, which are often described as having a strong mushroom-like smell. Though the female will mate with as many males as possible to ensure the fitness of her clutch, males will still fight one another for mating rights. Mating usually occurs on the ground, but maybe also occur in the trees, and the males will usually bite down gently on the back of the female’s neck to prevent her from struggling during copulation. After the female has mated with as many viable males as possible, she will chase away any other suitors aggressively. In a few weeks, she will lay a clutch of 20-30 leathery-shelled eggs in a small burrow at the foot of a tree, which she will guard ferociously, continuously adding and removing dirt as needed and only leaving the burrow for short periods to eat and drink, something which is risky, given that other razortails might eat her clutch. Sex determination is based on temperature, with the colder eggs producing males and the warmer eggs producing females. In roughly 5 weeks, the eggs will hatch and the young are cared for by the mother for roughly a year, after which they are big enough to fend for themselves. Full size is reached at 5 years old and sexually maturity at 7 years old, and in the wild, the young may live to nearly 20-25 years old, whereas in captivity, they may live as long as 30-40 years old. Homosexual behavior is extensively documented in this species, with both males and females engaging in same-sexual copulatory behaviors such as mounting. In fact, an estimated 50% of razortail sexual encounters are same-sex.

As touched on earlier, this species has a long and highly-complicated relationship with the native inhabitants of the region: simultaneously treated as a savior from pest animals which feed on cash crops and as a nuisance for feeding on said crops itself, captive-bred razortails appear to be undergoing a form of domestication, the first instance of true domestication ever being documented in a nonavian and non-archosaurian reptile. These captive-bred razortails are stockier, have larger eyes, and appear to be undergoing greater encephalization than their wild-born cousins. In captivity, they are used as pest control and guard dogs, their aggression deterring large predators and humans looking to do harm alike. However, its tendency to see other domesticated animals as potential prey make it extremely difficult to keep in close quarters with other pets, especially birds and rodents. Hence, most house-trained razortails are either kept alone, kept with a companion, or sleep outside. Captive-bred specimens are often given a very diverse diet, with the most highly-recommended diet consisting of mice, fish, crab (used as a substitute for the giant invertebrates it normally hunts), lettuce, celery, tomato, avocado, mango, peanuts, bananas, and strawberries. Likewise, this species is exceptionally emotionally intelligent, forming a similar level of emotional connection to its caretakers as dogs, chirping, grumbling, and rumbling to convey happiness to its owner. Its flesh is variously considered a delicacy in some areas, its taste supposedly being gamey and not unlike goat meat. That said, it is tough and sinewy, which makes it difficult to cook properly. Though fossils of this species are quite young, only going back to the very beginning of the Holocene around 10,000 years ago, genetic divergence when comparing its genetic sequence to close relatives indicates its lineage likely originated around 10 millions years ago in the Miocene.

2/ booked under doesn't allow police to keep them over 60 days. another thing about law, there's a law in pakistan that allows the kin of a murdered person to "forgive" the victim's murderer via diyat. Afghanistan's spy chief and former vp amrullah saleh's directly said that pakistan was responsible for funding the taliban and bringing them to power and who can forget the bangladeshi genocide. pakistan's history textbooks play down the atrocities so much it's insane

Pakistan’s history books tell people that Hindus persecuted muslims, that Partition happened due to India’s brutality (Notice how our books have actual events listed which can be google checked while theirs are all in all “source: bro, trust me”?)like we didn’t try to save your ass during amritsar masssacre, that Jinnah, the guy who divided India just to feel important was a saint. those books are a shitfest of propaganda with a dash of victim card.

As of murder forgiving, dear God. Imagine letting a murderer free, only for him to make someone else’s family go through what you went through. Kya muh dikhaoge apni mari aulad aur dusre victim ke gharwalo ko? Honestly, I feel like this system itself explains ki why these people are funding taliban and why their leaders have such beautiful relations with this shithole of a “government” (read: militant’s rule)

Pilla hai ye desh, China ka, (usse pehle america ka) Taliban ka, aur har muslim country ka. These guys just want to establish themselves as a noticeable Islamic nation ,and their want for power has them waging their tails to whatever powerful country will help them feel more important than they are. Fuck, they’ll go as far as nesting Islamic terrorists (even international ones like Bin Laden) that orchestrate attacks on India (even using our own territories as bases, the fucking gal) because they think that’ll make them important on basis of religion atleast and get other Islamic countries to want to have relations with them (The actual face of Sunni Islam, Saudi, has a zero tolerance policy for terrorists. see the difference?) but literally no country stands with them. Rather, the karma has come to bite them back in the butt with Baloch protest, Taliban hold on western pak, etc. etc.

Desperation ka dusra naam Pakistan
