“The end of separation is the end of desire”
I love herrr <3
anyway imagine this meetup
for my followers who do not watch severance:
dylan's wife cheated on dylan with dylan so dylan threatened to kill dylan so dylan's wife broke up with dylan and went back to dylan and dylan was so depressed about it that dylan killed dylan but dylan's still alive
I’m positive the only reason those fans didn’t say heaven sent was their favorite episode is because they don’t want to admit to someone that the time they were tortured for 2 billion years was incredibly entertaining.
As someone from konkan who called people in hilly/pahadi regions of Western Ghats "Desi" this information is even weirder...
'Desi' meant something entirely different to me growing up, tbh. We're in a mountainous region, we're from the hills so we called ourselves and the culture and the native flora and fauna 'pahadi' ('of the mountains') and that stood in opposition to 'desi' - used to mean 'of the plains'.
Then I started seeing people call themselves 'desi' to mean 'Indian', then saw it being used in a general 'south asian' sense, particularly oved the internet or in more global (but informal) contexts. I probably tagged some of my posts that had to do with something specific to India 'desi' too bc I didn't know how else to find others to talk to that stuff about but even then I never used the term for myself because it has never fit. And the kind of people I saw using it, often disapora South Asians but also particularly people from northern plain regions of India, I'd say I didn't see myself fit with their idea of desi anyway at the end of the day. And I never could get on board with using 'desi' to refer to all South Asian or even all Indian people when that's just one Hindi word, felt like ceding more ground to the homogenising of language and culture to place Hindi at the centre of the Indian identity, why would I say desi to refer to myself when I've always said pahadi, why would I say desi to refer to my friends from southern India and north east India when that's never who we referred to as 'desi' and they won't use that word in their own languages anyway, let alone why would I use it to refer to South Asians as a whole?
Obviously it's being used a certain way to have a shorthand for an identity and that's fine and whatever, and obviously there are hegemonic reasons for why That ended up being the word in common use (Hindi, north indian). I just prefer saying what I actually mean especially when I'm referring to my own identity and I think Indian, South Asian, etc etc fulfill that purpose better as far as I'm concerned
I think part of the inherent comedy of AFFC is Jaime starting to see Cersei as his sibling again…. like not his sister-lover but his sibling who says and does things that annoy him and keeps trying to boss him around and who he’s bickering with in front of their uncle…. he’s been thinking of her as first and foremost a lover for years, and ‘sister’ as synonymous w that, but now he’s back and the romance is falling apart and he realises oh shit yeah siblings are fucking annoying
A picture is worth a thousand words
