i cannot express my hatred for marvel and their ways of fucking up a perfectly beautiful character with so much cultural significance in every minute detail of her

how do they look at kamala, strip her of everything that made her relatable, unique, and an inspiration to young muslim and poc girls. and go, yep this will make a good comic. this will be fkn profitable.

#my insides are burning with everything i want to yell #fucking hell #her x-man suit looks so crap and removes all the cultural significance and how she literally represents those communities #she isnt afraid to look muslim #or share her pakistani background and culture #i want to cry #i knew this was coming when they killed her off DURING AAPI MONTH #kamala khan #ms marvel #ms marvel comics #newt talks #and screams

any brown man: h-

every white woman in a 10 mile radius: PEDRO PASCAL??? OMG HAS ANYONE TOLD YOU YOU LOOK LIKE PEDRO PASCAL? HE LOOKS JUST LIKE PEDRO PASCAL. PEDRO PASC-

#I'm not going to lie it's made me dislike seeing pedro pascal through no fault of his own #but the way white women have been obsessing over him has made me genuinely exhausted #just saw someone say ballister looks like he was animated to be fucking pedro pascal and I cannot do it any longer #like no actually he was animated to look like his voice actor #who is pakistani. and neither of them look anything like pedro fucking pascal I'm going to hit you with a broom #the comments on any brown man's tiktok these days is a minefield of just PEDRO PASCAL? and I'm tired

@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??

Still in the Alternate Universe:

Iseul and Megan finished unpacking, and then Megan caressed Iseul's cheek and jaw. "Did I mention how much I love your face?" She said. "Only 8 billion times." Iseul joked back and Megan laughed. "Well, it's gorgeous Issy, and so are you." Iseul blushed as Megan kissed her. "I'm going to brush my teeth and change into my nightgown." Megan whispered into Iseul's ear. "Meet me in our room so we can test out the new bed?" Iseul grinned widely. "Yup, I'll just finish hanging the last of my clothes." Megan smiled. "Good." She said, making sure Iseul saw her take her hair out of her braid as she stood in front of the mirror and flipped it over her shoulder, since Iseul loves when Megan has her long hair open. Megan smiled as she felt Iseul’s warm gaze on her, and she sauntered out of the room.

A couple minutes later, Iseul and Megan kissed and woohooed in their room. Megan was happy that in their own private home, she didn't have to worry as much about being quiet, and could just be focused on being with her wife, and Iseul felt the same.

They got up at 12pm, and Megan yawned, snuggled next to Iseul, and kissed her before asking her what she wanted to eat for lunch. Iseul smiled mischievously and said, “You.” Megan blushed and smacked Iseul's arm lightly before smiling*. “I meant food, Issy.” And Iseul grinned. “Anything, Megs, I'm hungry as hell.” So Megan made vegetable dumplings for their lunch. Iseul smiled as she watched Megan cook and said she'd make her dad's recipe of Japchae for them soon, after she went grocery shopping and got some ingredients (he taught her and her brother Min Jun how to cook and their family recipes). "I'll hold you to it, Kang." Megan said, smiling. "You know, whenever you do make Japchae for us, I'll be the dessert." She said, winking flirtatiously at Iseul, who's eyes widened before she grinned mischievously again. "Done, I'll make it tonight." Iseul said, and Megan laughed.

The thing that really pisses me off with their narrative of ‘celebrating Oct. 7th’ is that literally didn’t happen the way they say it did. All the videos I saw that day of happy Palestinians had a lot to do with the people of Gaza finally being able to walk beyond the barbed wired fence, some for the first time ever. I’m meant to criticize that?

also like.... even if they were celebrating i can't blame them? zionists act as if flattening gaza is a proportionate and rational response to one act of retaliation and will go on marches begging for more palestinian blood but palestinians celebrating a single 'victory' is something the world should condemn? like,,,, fuck off maybe?

#ameeras.got.mail #kourtgreene #i keep seeing zionists on here posting the same tweets of one person saying her mum is making dessert on 7th oct and a few days later she #tweets about how evil israel is and its meant to be a gotchya but idk man im kashmiri and if #my family lived on the area where kashmiris are attacked by the pakistani or indian military. if i found out someone killed a few of them #id make dessert too idk call me crazy #israeli citizens are not impartial innocent 3rd party figures. they served in the military and live on stolen land its crazy how palestinian #children are presented as a threat but a veteran isnt?

The thing about looking up fancasts for the Batkids is that age-appropriate casting reminds me what older teenagers actually look like (Small children. Kidlets. Are we really playing in the same sandbox as these wee babbs?) which makes me question all my life choices. The oldest fancasts are about twenty-five (when the fuck did Chloe Grace Moretz turn 25??? The child is still knee high to a grasshopper in my mind. Ryan Potter is 27??? FFS just put me out to pasture) most of whom still look like children to me. I started reading these comics when I was eighteen. This is like staring into the face of my own mortality.

That said, Lili Reinhart is the Stephanie of my heart.

Oona was her mother's mother now, Oona sometimes felt, or maybe mother wasn't the right word for it, maybe daughter was fine, meaning more than she once thought they did, each having two sides to itself, a side of carrying and of being carried, each word in the end the same as the other, like a coin, differing only in the order of what face came up first on a toss.
