Desi LGBT Fest 2023 (hosted by @desi-lgbt-fest)
Day 3 : Fear/Guilt
CW: Aphobia, Homophobia, Misogyny
POV you're Ace/Aro/Aspec/Arospec in a 'get hetero married, have kids' heavy culture but not really very out to people. I mean, at this point the marriage culture is so deeply ingrained being out will probably exacerbate the guilt haha hahahahahaha haha hah....haha
Anyway, text flowed better in Hindi for me but ALT text available with translation+transliteration of the scribbles as well as the narrative text. English translation+transliteration of just the narrative text under the cut
Transliteration:
Hath Peele Nahin Honge,
Na khilegi mehendi ki lali,
Ghar me baaraat nahin aayegi,
Rishtedaron ko nyota nahin jayega
Safar ka humrahi bhi nahi hoga,
Jeevansathi bhi nahi hoga,
Humdard hokar bhi dard nahin samajh aayenge.
Humraaz hokar bhi raaz nahin rujhayenge.
Kabhi kabhi ek sukoon sa lagta hai,
Na rishte banenge, na dard hoga.
Lekin kya dost ke dard me sukoon pana,
Wajib hai?
Translation:
Hands won't stain yellow,
Neither will the red of the henna flourish,
The wedding party won't come home,
The relatives won't get an invite,
The journey won't have any fellow travellers,
There won't be a life partner,
Pain doesn't make sense despite being empathetic,
Secrets don't seem enticing despite being a confidante.
Sometimes, there's a sense of relief,
Bonds won't form, there won't be any pain.
But is it fair to seek relief in a friend's pain?

Translation:
"It's really rivers? I think it's rivers but don't listen to me but it seems like it's samy rivers in the qsmp but I'm not too sure but if we really analyze the image I think it is possible it's rivers_gg but well it's only a possibility I'll wait don't ruin the surprise."

MHYK Part 2 Chapter 22 Section 10
Bradley: Nero.
Nero: …
Bradley: Come with me. We need to talk.
Bradley: To gain something irreplaceable to you spells death.
Bradley: As Bradley the Northern Wizard, I ought to punish those who betray me, or else I’d be doing those who trusted me with their lives a disservice. A creed I must naturally uphold. I get where you’re coming from, Eva. But see, that very esteemed creed chains me down.
My pride is worth giving up my life for, don’t get me wrong. Depriving me of my freedom though? I’m not putting up with that. My fate and my soul are mine to rule. I’d break free from whatever it is shackling me, myself included. Watch me dance with my doom, Eva. I’d have them wrap around my fingers.
Bradley: Here you go.
Nero: Mana stones…
Nero: Are those Eva’s?
Bradley: Close. It’s the one who consumed Eva. …Ha, what am I doing? You don’t want this.
Nero: Nah… I’ll take it.
Bradley: Good. You do that. She had a soft spot for you.
Nero: For fuck's sake, that was you… She harped on manners and courtesy, so all she had for me were glares. For someone so smart, this guy can be obtuse…
Nero: She’ll be missed… I know you were fond of her.
Bradley: Eh, I’m used to partings.
Nero: …
Nero: Try harder, you’re not fooling me…
Bradley: Answer me, Nero.
Nero: I’m all ears…
Bradley: Why did you run away?
Nero: …
Nero: Being with you was unbearably draining, knowing I could never become what you wanted me to be.
Bradley: …
Nero: But look, none of this is your fault… I’m the anomaly here. Life in the North wasn’t for me.
Bradley: You know that’s not true.
Nero: It is. Anyone could tell. Anyone except you, apparently.
Bradley: Haha. Brutal.
Nero: I liked you, you know? I don’t expect you to believe me, but even now I could die for you.
Bradley: …
Nero: I visited many places after, but I could never find anyone like you.
Bradley: Could’ve visited me in prison then.
Nero: …When does your sentence end?
Bradley: Beats me.
Nero: …Oh…
Nero: You know, living here at the Magic Manor and interacting with Oz and Mithra and the rest of them got me thinking…
Bradley: Mhm.
Nero: They’re terrifying as hell, sure, but I’ve come to believe they’re not as awful as they seem.
Nero: So then, how come you’re the only one locked up in prison? What about them?
Bradley: …
Nero: …Then again…
Nero: He would off me if I told him I’d rather he stayed locked up… He loves his freedom more than anything.
Bradley: Nero.
Nero: Hm?
Bradley: I remember you saying I’m free to execute you after we fend off the Great Calamity.
Nero: …
Nero: That I did.
Bradley: Give me your life. I have better use for it than turning you to stone.
Nero: …What do you mean by that?
Bradley: Once we fend off the Great Calamity, Figaro and the twins are next on my list. Join me, Partner.
Nero: …
Nero: Fine.
