im so freaking happy you're punjabi too because this has been sitting in my brain wayy too long, but could i request a punjabi!reader x dallas winston except shes sassy asf and has hella nakhre except he handles it perfectly. thanks!
desi/punjabi!reader x dallas winston hc's
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N : yes, yes, and yes.
~
firstly, dallas winston is not racist. some of yall are insane with your headcanons
dallas winston could truthfully care less about any background his partner is
now that ive established this, let me continue
~
he finds it so incredibly hot whenever you say something, ANYTHING in a different language.
you could call him a 'bandar' (monkey) and he would still find it hot
"what does that mean, huh? you callin' me handsome?"
not much to do except roll your eyes in dismay as well as secretly find it cute
one time, he saw you wearing a suit/lengha/sari (whatever you like)
he almost went insane
like gen jaw dropped and everything
"when'd you start wearing stuff like that?"
"y'should wear it more often, doll."
as far as nakhre goes, he finds it attractive, and he learns over time how to shut it down
he doesnt understand how to shut it down if your really cussing him out in punjabi
“bhonkana band karja.”
“love you too.”
i have a whole other hc that johnny is punjabi (or desi in general)
so, it is a common occurence to see dallas asking johnny what random stuff means
johnny cant translate half the time bcs dallas cant pronounce half of it correct
whenever you do say something nice, it flies over his head
the only thing he understands is nice is ‘meri jaan’ (my life / my beloved)
he likes that one
one time, he came over to your house during winter, probably to hang out cuddle but dallas winston doesnt ‘cuddle’, and your bed had one of those thick floral kambals
Tumblr media
(one of these bad boys right here)
he swears hes never slept better in his whole life
he probably stole one of those blankets from your mother
speaking of parents
if your parents are immigrants, hes borderline scared of them (even if he’d never admit it)
hes realistically horrified of your dad, even if your parents allow you to date
hes probably cool with your mom, however
your mom would probably sit there and hand feed him roti and refer to him as ‘beta’ / ‘puthar’
punjabi/desi moms are soo sarcastic its not even funny
dallas winston has the exact same humor as your mom its insane
hes definitely attended at least one family function
got forced to try and dance at some point before he totally swore off dancing
he really likes gol gappe but hes really bad at eating it in one bite
got forced to sit at the kids table
got drunk with all the chachas and mamas (lets be fr)
overall your family likes him
thinks its absolutely stupid how you only wear gold jewelry
although, you make an exception for the st. christopher necklace, to which he is grateful for
if you have a hard to pronounce name, he’d spend too much time trying to say it right
realistically he finds food wayy too spicy, but he’ll tolerate some things
he wouldnt like chai
which you find insane
overall you two are so cute and happy together 10/10 couple right here

TXT IF THEY WERE . . . THE DESI BOYS(Z) !?
#— “oh teri” . . . maine exam paper khola, aur uss ne meri khol di ・⁠・⁠・🥭﹏. ๑:(❛⁠ 🪔
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
p — DESI!OT5 × (FEM) DESI!READER | g — crack, fluff, desi!au, reader is implied to be desi but it's more on the members, just headcanons | w — lingo used is tailored towards a desi audience
A/N — y'all I needed to. call me cringe. but I need to get beomgyu as a desi out of my head okay. I'm sorry. I love this sm. so please, make some noise for the desi boys guys.
THIS DRABBLE IS TARGETTED TOWARDS A FEM!DESI READER. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE INCLUSIVE TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE LINGO USED.
🎧 — “MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THE DESI BOYZ”
Tumblr media
CHOI YEONJUN
openly unshareef but a bit gullible. probably gets in a lot of trouble solely because he can't cover himself up. he'd freeze up anytime he's confronted about any of his shenanigans. you'd definitely see him playing cricket with the maila boys in the galis, and would probably do a dramatic dive towards the side walk when a car passes by, honking. screams “Y/N, THIS IS FOR YOU!!!” and terribly misses the chakka, then screams “THAT WAS SO OBVIOUSLY WHITE!!!” to hide his embarrassment.
hates chai tho, thinks hating it gives him personality. sucks at math, always in the principal's office for “talking back” to the old teacher. is actually really smart, so his grades aren't really slipping that much.
would tell you he's planning to play cricket professionally, but we all know he's a bit all talk. brings you ghajras and tells you it was from his mom so he doesn't get in trouble with your dad. speaking of which, he goes around claiming “l/n chachu is my best friend!!!!” but can't look the man in his eyes and say hello.
Tumblr media
CHOI SOOBIN
he looks shareef as hell— isn't. doesn't really do much to get in trouble, just steals his brother's car and takes it out for a drive at 3 am. texts you really late at night asking if you want to drive around. when you refuse and absolutely “BREAK HIS HEART” (he'll be fine), he takes yeonjun with him. and because you weren't there to smack the back of his head, he doesn't see the big ass depression in the road and gets stuck. calls you AGAIN, crying at 3:30 am, freaking out and going “THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!” you can hear yeonjun trying to calm him down in the back but both of them are scared they'll get caught by the police and then will be detained overnight. soobin's very dramatic.
is really annoying sometimes. bold asf tho, definitely looks your dad in the eyes and shakes his hand whenever he's around. your dad would say “stay away from soobin I don't like him,” and then proceed to immediately befriend him when they realize they watch the same drama serial that's trending.
big foodie too, calls you and tells you he's bringing home crates of mangos with his friends and gives you an extra one whenever summer hits. his friend would ask him, “dude, where do we keep these crates?” and soobin, who's never been to your house EVER, goes, “tsk— follow me.” and walks into your house unannounced and unaware. wears a white kurta with gold accents because white represents, “purity, y/n. I'm a pure boy.” drops stew on his clothes moments after.
Tumblr media
CHOI BEOMGYU
the real “stay away from him” wala boy. he's the talk of the town. no one knows how he manages to do it.
acing school, really fucking street smart, barely home most of the time. probably listens to a lot of punjabi. probably also curses in purely just punjabi. he's the kid that would probably post stories of driving in the rain or something 😭
all the girls in the shaadi hall have eyes on him. really good with kids too, but super fucking annoying, so you'd probably see a kid every few hours running up to their mama and crying, “BHAI HIT ME!!!!!”
acts really chichora because he thinks it's funny. would steal flowers from the bouquets in shaadi halls for all the younger kids in his fam, but save you the best one. gives you his aalu when you eat biryani together. super sentimental too, would randomly break into a poetry during a random conversation that has nothing to do with poetry.
cracks a lot of dirty jokes too, again, because he thinks it's funny. eyes you shockingly when you eat the paani puri with one whole bite after he struggles to. asks how you're better with your mouth than him, and gets a smack right on his nose. on a related note, starts a “paani puri or gol gappe?” debate with you, and picks the side you're against solely because you're against it. can't have you winning, now can he?
loves it when it rains. calls it relatable. you'd probably get a call when the sky starts getting darker and asks if he can dance in the rain with you. wears his best black kurta (he has 5) whenever you two hang out. looks very attentively into your hands when you get mehendi done, and ask if you had his name written somewhere in the designs. gets disappointed when you don't.
Tumblr media
KANG TAEHYUN
probably the most religious out of the 5. the annoying type in group hang outs that threatens he'll snitch, but never does. a cute geek. probably studies computer sciences.
ironically also a gym rat. gym buddies with beomgyu. has abs but you can't see it until beomgyu dumps a bucket of water on him from the balcony and drenches him completely. and you're like, “oh.” gets shy when beomgyu forces him to wear a compression shirt for the gram 🔥💪 is the Athlete Of The Year 3 years in a row. sports captain, too.
always visiting the principal's office, but not because he's in trouble. knows the principal &staff really fucking well because he's an athlete. fist bumps the principal in the halls, gets shot weird looks before the principal eventually returns his fist bump.
the kid who probably has a lot of writing on his t-shirt on the last day of school. areas of his face smeared with ink from a pen soobin accidentally broke. all 5 take a picture with the principal on the last day of school. forces the photographer to take an extra silly one of just the principal and him. refuses to give his sports captain sash back.
helps you study during the winter break. complains when you don't understand it immediately. threatens that he'll tell “l/n aunty you're constantly on your phone.” but really rewarding & generous once you begin to ace the topic. promises you he'll treat you to food (and keeps his word.)
Tumblr media
HUENINGKAI
called kamal a lot. is a sweetheart. grew up bringing flowers for his teachers every morning. really good at language arts. writes the poetry beomgyu randomly starts reciting.
plays basketball because “the body needs varzish.” forces you to play with him after he misses many hoops on purpose. goes easy on you until you piss him off for “being bad.”
your parents absolutely love him and start internally crying when they realize he may be in the friendzone. brings fruits for your mom and a pirated video game for your brother everytime he visits. loves to tease you for losing in a video game you've never played before.
accidentally walks on you when you're adjusting your clothes. screams so loud mama thinks he slipped in the bathroom. apologizes a lot even though he saw like nothing. tries to make it up to you while you're making chai— ends up distracting you so bad it spills over the pot. absolutely dizzy and doesn't know what to do.
to make it up to you (and maybe to spend some extra time with just you), takes you to those local malls where it reeks of chalia and fresh cloth, and there's a million tailors stitching clothes. would probably get scammed so fucking fast before you start yelling that they're going way off price. confused asf, realizes maybe he should just let you do the talking, while he carries all the stuff the two of you buy for the wedding coming up.
probably hears a lot of, “wow, he's so pretty,” from a million aunties whispering to each other there. gets shy super fast.
begs you to buy something that he wants to pay for because he feels so guilty for the chai and walking in on you, even though you're absolutely refusing. sneaks away while you're arguing with a tailor, buys a pair of gold baliyaan for you.
then gives the jewelry to you while you two are sitting in the car, and proceeds to earn another affectionate smack when you realize he got scammed bad for them.

Love your new Quotev profile picture. Its literally so adorable. ❤️❤️
Thank you!!! It was my birthday gift drawn by my best friend cuboid. She was inspired by this one art of sailor moon doing homework - I can’t find the exact piece but it’s basically inspired by this scene. Cuboid is an incredibly diverse artist and focuses on south Asian rep in her art — one of my favorites is an oc she designed based on pani puri (the oc herself is based on the “pani” portion, and her pet dog resembles the puri part). Her Genshin art, like her realistic drawing of rukkhadevata, is also sooo good. She’s also drawn a lot of the art for iaptbap — like Rojo’s chapter image, the chapter image for the Winter White modern AU special, and other doodles I’ve included in chapters
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So for the pfp she drew for me, she basically designed it in a way to incorporate my two most favorite things in the world: 1) my Pakistani culture and 2) the pastel purple cloudy/dreamy aesthetic.
Tumblr media
The aesthetic is obvious in the drawing, but the culture is subtly done.
First, you have the girl in the center, who is wearing a tikka (traditional south Asian head jewelry), a kurta (south asian long shirt/tunic), and a dupatta (south Asian thin scarf worn with most outfits). it's also very common for women/girls in pakistan to grow their hair long and wear it in a single braid so that's why she went with that hairstyle here. and ofc she has melanin bc colorism is dead here !!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then you have the paper on her desk showing the moon’s phases with Urdu at the top (it says “chaand” which means moon). the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, so moons actually connect to both the aesthetic and culture. The doodles on the side include a markhor, which is the national animal of Pakistan (a type of wild goat).
Tumblr media
The pencil case towards the bottom of the drawing has an image of a mosque (domed building for Muslim prayer; most Pakistanis are Muslim), there is a cup of chai in the bottom left corner (south Asian milk tea), the contact giving her a phone call is named “khar ghosh” and that translates to bunny in Urdu (not that bunnies have big importance in Pakistan; it’s just because cuboid and I are SUPER into the kpop group newjeans lately and their mascot is a bunny lmao)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is extra subtle, but the star+crescent moon combo on the forehead of the blue pet is from the Pakistani flag!
Tumblr media
So yeah, cuboid really put a ton of effort into this, in many many ways. I know ur reading this rn bestie so ty 💜💜
please check out her art on her insta :)) (her username/handle is in the screenshots i already showed)
also, here's more of cuboid's art that isn't on her insta - bc she's literally allergic to posting and im always yelling at her about it /lh (and yes beforehand i let her know about this post and she sent a ton of her wip art to me to include here!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(1) south asian little red riding hood! the hood in this case is a thick, wintertime dupatta and i love that concept (2) her pakistani cricket player oc 😍 (he kinda reminds me of naseem shah lol) (3) one of cuboid's incredible horror pieces (she does a lot of horror) featuring an Indian doll hiding in a dollhouse & her bratty owner looking in
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(1) another one of cuboid's horror pieces (with a south asian protag). there's a lot to unpack about it but ill let you guys analyze it yourselves for the experience lol (2) cuboid also made art for orchid's fic, housewife simulator! fyi milkman is canonically pakistani punjabi and miss cashier is indian punjabi (yes there is a big difference). mailwoman is black and lil kid is indigenous -- she's a future character im sooo excited to read in HWS (3) humanized version of the annoying ass eel in my fave video game of all time - Super Mario 64! whyd she make him fine tho.. and girl im waiting for you to make an insta post of all your SM64 humanized character designs. pls pls pls
anyway that's pretty much all ive got for this post. tldr; cuboid is amazing talented showstopping and yall should follow her insta ok thankssss

12, 13 and 14 for the end of the year asks :)
12. talk about a new friend you made this year
so i joined a new school this year and was kinda adopted into a friend group but got really close to this one girl. we have a lot of similar interests and a similar type of humour. also our teacher calls us twins because we wear the same clothes ?? as if we don't have uniforms ma'am all 43 of us are twinning ?? it's also funny because we're both from the opposite ends of the country (she's punjabi im tamil). she's also the one who introduced me to when chai met toast and is just really cool in a cringe way ! she's also short and i bully her about it but i bully all short people so it's nothing new for me lmao
13. How was your birthday this year?
it's the first birthday in three years that I spent outside my house so pretty good. went out for lunch with some friends and my parents then two of my school (purana wala school) friends came over and we just chilled they made me listen to red lights (skz) and we were awake the whole night watching scream and clueless and then just talked because one of them had to leave for tution in an hour so what's the point of sleeping?
14. Favorite book you read this year?
started hunger games this year so pretty much that (also not to bring real life to the fun answering session but the way mockingjay parallels what's happening in gaza rn especially with the hospital scene....)
also, FUCK GALE Y'ALL ARE LITERALLY FIGHTING A WAR WHO THE FUCK CARES THAT SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU BACK GROW UP

FROM THE 50 ASKS:
9. 10. and 26.
obligatory Boromir:
Tumblr media
Thank you for the ask <3
9. what is your favorite environmental season? why?
fall! fall fall fall fall fall fall (autumn if you're fancy)
I go full pumpkin spice white girl every september lol. Living in Texas and Oklahoma deprived me of fall for the first 20-something years of my life, and now that I live somewhere with real seasons, I have to make up for lost time which means tons of corn mazes, apple picking, pumpkin patches, baking tons of pies and stuff...plus my favorite fall drink- make chai tea but use apple cider instead of water, and throw in an optional shot of bourbon
10. what’s one book you’d suggest every person should read?
Ooooh that's such a tough one. I have to give multiple answers, I'm sorry!
If you like fantasy: Circe by Madeline Miller If you like suspense: The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas If you like comedy: Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal If you like romance: Lovely War by Julie Berry (the audiobook is especially good too) If you like murder mysteries: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
26. which of the 7 deadly sins do you struggle with the most? and which the least?
Hmmmm sloth is a big problem for me. I don't intend to be lazy, but I have pretty bad executive dysfunction and keep finding myself swamped with work and chores but sitting there unable to get anything done.
As for what I struggle with least...idk, pride probably, since I'm so insecure about myself?

a soft gasp escapes udyati's lips when she sees him. well, she doesn't really see him, because of the mask, and the get-up. but it's familiar enough that she knows who he is instantly. it's like he carries the sun with him. within his very skin. within his very smile. even if she can't see it right now. she can feel it. and it causes her to smile, too. it makes her bounce on her feet, excitedly. there's some kind of recognition there that goes beyond the superficial: it's bone deep in a way she can't explain. you're like me - you're not exactly like me, but you're like me in the ways that count. you speak the same languages. you drink chai. you smell like spices. you use coconut oil in your hair. you have been tasked with protecting a world - protecting worlds - that should have protected you instead. "you know, when i was growing up," udyati's eyes soften, "i didn't have anyone like you. i'm glad that the kids and teens and twenty-somethings of today can have what i never had." never mind the fact that she, too, is about twenty. but that's neither here nor there. everything she's been through aged her, even if she doesn't really show signs of it on the outside. "anywhoozies, if you want to get chai here, you should hit up the indoor market downtown, head inside and look for 55 mumbay street. but yeah. uh. welcome to earth 108, i guess."
okay but there's actually an indoor market downtown where i live and it has a Bunch Of Different Indoor Places to get Food TM including a place called 55 bombay street. i went there once. the pani puri was a lot. it was good. but it was a lot so ofc i had to reference this while sending a Whole Book TM to @dhakaarhai.
i would have referenced the punjabi place across from it - which i frequent a little bit more often - but i forgot the name and i couldn't find it on the indoor market website.

How to learn Punjabi Language
Spice Up Your Life: A Fun Guide to Learning Punjabi
Have you ever been captivated by the rhythm of Punjabi music, or the warmth of Punjabi hospitality? Maybe you're connecting with your roots or seeking a new adventure. Whatever your reason, learning Punjabi is a beautiful journey that opens doors to a rich culture and vibrant community. But where do you begin? Worry not, my friend, for this guide will be your compass on the path to Punjabi proficiency!
Unveiling the Gurmukhi Script: Your Key to Punjabi
The first hurdle might seem daunting: the Gurmukhi script. These elegant curves may look like an alien alphabet, but fear not! There are plenty of resources available online and in libraries to help you break the code. Imagine yourself as a Punjabi Sherlock Holmes, deciphering the mysteries of the script one letter at a time. Soon, those beautiful curves will transform into words, unlocking a world of communication.
Masala Up Your Ears: Embrace the Sounds of Punjabi
Punjabi is a language that sings. Learning pronunciation can be half the fun! Here's where things get interesting. Punjabi has unique sounds that don't exist in English, like the forceful "h" and the nasal vowels. Don't be afraid to experiment, to mimic the sounds you hear in songs and movies. Imagine yourself as a Bollywood star, belting out catchy tunes and mastering the Punjabi lilt.
From Hello to Chai Time: Conversational Punjabi for Everyday Life
Now that you've got the basics down, it's time to take your Punjabi to the streets! Start with greetings like "Sat Sri Akal" (hello) and "Kise हालचाल hain?" (how are you?). Move on to useful phrases for everyday situations: ordering food ("Ik cup chai, please"), asking for directions ("Bazar kahan hai?"), or complimenting someone's outfit ("Bahut suন্দर kurta hai!" - very nice shirt!).
There are many ways to practice conversation. Language exchange apps connect you with native speakers, and online communities offer a platform to chat and ask questions. Who knows, you might even find yourself having chai with a new Punjabi friend!
Punjabi Pop Culture: Your Gateway to Immersion
Learning a language isn't just about textbooks and grammar drills. Dive into the heart of Punjabi culture through music, movies, and TV shows. Put on some upbeat Bhangra tunes and get your groove on. Immerse yourself in a Punjabi rom-com or a nail-biting thriller. Not only will you pick up new vocabulary and slang, but you'll also gain a deeper understanding of Punjabi humor, traditions, and social life.
The Sweet Rewards of Your Punjabi Journey
Learning Punjabi is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be moments of frustration, but the rewards are more than worth it. As you progress, you'll be able to connect with Punjabi speakers on a deeper level, appreciate Punjabi art and literature, and navigate your way through a new world. The journey itself will be enriching, filled with discovery and laughter. So, take a deep breath, embrace the challenge, and get ready to add some Punjabi spice to your life!
