Roran: There Are Only Three Ways To Do Things: The Right Way, The Wrong Way, And The Roran Way.

Anyone at all: *threatens Eragon in any way, shape, or form*

Saphira:

‘passing-through’

Person:What inspires you to get out of bed everyday?

Me:My bladder mostly....

Is there anything more relatable??Take that in the indian context and it MAKES SENSE.

My dad pissed me off so here is a rant.

You know what the problem with most of the older generation is when it comes to politics? They are so stuck on the different sides of government. Democrat or republican. Idk about you but I’d like to think that most of us younger generation don’t give a damn about that anymore. We don’t want things done for one side over the other. We want better paying jobs, healthcare, human rights that should have been given to us at birth. We want to get rid of the electoral college because we know it is a fucked up system. The sad thing is we know that won’t happen because getting government to change is like trying to move a mountain. So you keep choosing your sides and fighting over them. Keep creating more shit for us to shovel.

Beyond Scrutiny

No, I am not confused and neither am I ashamed

My sexuality is my destiny and no one is to be 'blamed'

I go beyond labels of LGBTQ or straight

My love is my pride and not up for debate!

They whisper behind my back and mock me blatantly

Behind faux veils of progressiveness, they refuse to accept me

Why is my coming out met with downcast eyes and bitter despair?

How can embracing love create this ungodly air?

Over the years, patriarchy has been a worthy foe

It has tried to define me, often outrageously so

It seeps through the cracks, till it reaches your very soul

And shames you into being what society calls 'whole'

But why can't society realise that love goes beyond scrutiny

It is the embodiment of infinity and a long-awaited mutiny

So call me queer, call me strange

It is you, not me who has to change.

It can't be a coincidence that feminism is progressing well in third-world countries and every piece of desi media, especially soap operas with the target audience of housewives, decide to glamorize the role of the "Angel of the House" or "Kudumba Kuthuvizhaku" (light of the house) which is the stereotype of the woman unconditionally putting the needs of her in laws, husband, children and everyone before hers.

They also repeatedly villainize the woman who dresses liberally, and doesn't have the personality of a doormat.

Even worse is the propaganda of the Knight in Shining armor, who comes to the woman's rescue and in whom she should place unconditional trust in. The women around her are jealous, petty, scheming bitches and hence, unworthy of her companionship

It's almost as if this is done intentionally to thwart the class consciousness desi women are slowly forming and reiterate the harmful ideas we've been forced to play for centuries:

You exist to serve your family. You are not valid if you are your own person, only a mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law

If you deviate from the conservative style of clothing/thinking, you're immoral. If you are assertive, selfish, ambitious, and have a backbone, you're the BITCH

Other women exist only to tear you down, they are always plotting your downfall, so put all your faith in the man. He's your hero and protector after all

It's seemingly just drama on the outside, but seems to be a very sinister patriarchal response to feminism on the inside?
