Please forgive me, I wrote this dumb joke in my drafts TWO YEARS AGO and I saw it today and cracked up. Seems appropriate since Dracula is everywhere,  enjoy my failure to launch vampire romance.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

Thinking about it, I’m pretty sure my ancestors would be horrified with me.

Not because I’m lazy or unworthy or anything like that…

…but because one of my distant uncles was among the eight survivors of the Essex, the ship that inspired the ending of Moby Dick and sank after being rammed by a whale, and what do I fuckin do after my bloodline has this Ordeal at Sea?

I get a fuckin degree in Marine Science and go back the fuck out there.

rafi is so cool without even trying wtf. they're like "i don't think i'm cool or interesting anymore" and then we go to pride and walk up to a bookseller and find an anthology including rafi's professionally published work casually sitting on the table bc rafi is a professional author who writes queer lit that's prized by the local community. girl running the booth goes "OMG I'VE NEVER MET ONE OF OUR AUTHORS BEFORE THIS IS SO EXCITING" rafi lights up talking about the other books around me standing there watching this like god you're so fucking cool can we hang out all the time. please. rafi's vibes are impeccable their fashion taste is great and they wear bright purple lipstick that looks good as hell. and then we share a bedroom. wild

i’m a red gay. join me in going feral

I’m gonna say it here too. Allow me to be crystal fucking clear.

It is not cowardly to stay in the closet. Full stop. You do not owe anyone any part of yourself you aren’t ready to share

If you unable to come out because you fear for your safety or well-being or because you know it will cause you substantial discomfort, that is not a defect in you. It’s a failure of the society in which you live and the community surrounding you.

If you just don’t want to share that part of yourself, that is valid and I support you

Welcome to my rants, crack, unfiltered thoughts where I’ll just confess whatever random stuffs cross my mind that I loved for cringe/non-cringe/any reason.

Arnav’s Rabba Ve Rabbit Hole 

ft. @laadgovernorandsankadevi​

(Context: we were talking about how Khushi was capable of incredible intellectual debate and they never used it in the show apart from like 2 times)

JWB: Khushi is capable of intellectual debate, and they never used it. I’m pretty sure Arnav had the most hots when she threw the resignation and yelled at him in guesthouse.

LGASD: Oh for sure, Khushi challenging him gave him hots but others doing the same made him mad.

JWB: Boy had a 48 hrs loop Rabba ve. 

LGASD: Lmao 48hrs on loop rabba ve

JWB: Itna lamba Rabba Ve unke wedding night main bhi nahi hui. (He didn’t have such a long Rabba Ve during their consummation) Dude was Rabba veing everywhere 

JWB: that was Arnav for 48 hours.

LGASD: LMFAOOO. DEAD. FR. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. No wonder he was so excited to get back on track to her at the anniversary party.

JWB: Dude it got so bad someone said Lucknow mithaai and boi looks like he saw Khushi naked.

LGASD: LMAOOO he probably did… don’t even

JWB: And I loved post her declaration of going to Lucknow yeh khud ko Rabba ve de raha hai because Khushi isn’t gonna be here (he’s giving Rabba Ve to himself)

LGASD: LMAOO he was reliving it like his breath depended on it 

JWB: I’m not gonna stare at her house from afar, main samne ja kar muh pe dupatta le kar I’ll Rabba ve (I’ll walk up to her house and collect Rabba Ves)

JWB:

 He

Rabba ves

in sleep

LGASD: 

He does the way he walks away and just stares until Anjali comes and ask what’s up 

JWB: He listens to Anjali say shit and he’s like DID SHE SAY PYAAR???? 

LGASD: He was beyond help after that. He was smitten and in denial. The perf combo.

JWB: He stored the pearls for emergency Rabba ve 

LGASD: He had a box of trinkets by the end that she probably found while cleaning the cupboard 

JWB: What if he needs to Rabba ve and no one is bringing up Lucknow, the word Khushi or throwing dupattas/curtains on his face? Emergency pearls aboard!

LGASD: lmao bitwa thinking I advance like a good businessman

JWB: It’s like I don’t know people keep dirty photos for emergency jerk off session, he keeps mementos for emergency Rabba ve. That’s why he never gave back her payal. 

LGASD:: He really said this is gonna be mine now. Finders keepers

JWB: It was the best Rabba ve inducer. I HAVE A CRACK THEORY 😂 

LGASD: Omg tell

LGASD: Deadddd

JWB: He literally becomes normal when he hears Rabba ve during the engagement lehenga moment and is like - I need to break up with La in 48 hours- I need to do private Rabba ves again I think that’s why he’s so confident during sangeet.

LGASD: Adds up

JWB: New Years pe samne jaakar he took a Rabba ve 

LGASD: Perfecct explanation! He said gotta do  it myself if Gupta doesnt show up at the wrong place at wrong time

JWB: Exactly. He also doesn’t know her expertise in the Rabba ve skill set. She’s an inducer. Is she a feeler?

LGASD: Lmaoo im fucking dead at these explanations 

JWB: Or worse, is he even a good inducer. He has no hope for himself. So got the cousins married to buy some time and cultivate Rabba ve inducing skills.

LGASD: Omg 

- The End -

P.S: This took me 2 days to make. I spent way too much time on this *cry*

Hi JWB! Leela here! Just saw how beautifully you answered the question someone asked about why did Arnav fall for Khushi. And that is tempting me to ask you…. Why did Khushi fall for Arnav? :p :p really curious to know your perspective since you frame it so well! Take care!!

Hi Leela!

So sorry for the infinite delay on your ask!

Thank you for loving that ask. Why Khushi fell for Arnav is very synonymous to why we, the audience, fell for Arnav.

I'll put it into a little list.

1) Handsome

He's beautiful to look at. Khushi is attracted to Arnav because he does look like a literal prince. The physical attraction is there.

2) Temptation

A part of Arnav is forbidden and everything Khushi has been taught against. You're attracted to what you're not. He's a 'bad boy'. He openly exhibits his sexual attraction and feelings when repression is more commonly taught to women. He's crass with his words, has no room for false etiquettes. You see Khushi has feelings, desires - and it's only acceptable when it's a fangirl moment for a superstar. Not a woman for a man. Society recognizes a woman's sexuality only to berate, but Arnav lights that desire with curiosity and reciprocation.

3) Unattainable

There is no way Khushi Kumar Gupta from Gomti Sadan would get the ever elusive multi millionaire Arnav Singh Raizada. No, the wealth doesn't charm her. It's just a sign of the impossible distance between them. He's almost like a dream. Like the heroes of a romantic novel you know you'd never get.

4) Love for Family

It hits Khushi straight in the gut that just like her Arnav can and does everything for his family. From apologizing to his sister to pulling all the strings to get Akash married to his beloved - this man loves his family beyond everything.

5) Space to be her

Throughout her life Khushi has been restrained, scolded and trained to be traditional, pious and quiet. She has to be a certain way to be loved and respected in the society. Therefore it is so beautiful that with Arnav - who just rejects society in general - she finds space to be herself. It's freedom. He loves her the way she is - madness included. With him she can be who she is.

6) A Good Man

Khushi often justifies her dislike for him based on his outward personality and of course, his terrible behavior to her. But with time she realises he is one who clears doctors bills, fulfills a child's wishes, is a loving brother and will beat up goons if necessary. He is good. He is everything she had wanted and not. And with that she has no reason to not like him. She has a short memory of his misdeeds that even the kindest gesture melts her.

7) Shared trauma

Khushi's love is felt when the sexual attraction is fulfilled with deep emotional intimacy. He allows her to be vulnerable, is moved to tears by her deepest stories and connects to her fear of losing parents. Their shared trauma bonds them closer than she expected.

8) All consuming love

For her whole life Khushi has been craving for love, for attention. Arnav's attention and attraction comes as a tsunami. It's all consuming and its hers. It fulfills everything she ever wanted. He may not believe in love but he loves the way she could've only dreamt of.

Hope this answers your question!

Best,

- JWB

Arnav, Khushi - Jalte Diye 

Sunn te hai jab pyaar ho toh diye jal utt te hai,

Tann main mann main aur nayan main diye jal utt te hai,

Aaja piya aaja,

Tere hi tere hi liye…

Jalte diye,

Bitani tere saayein main saayein main,

Zindagani bitaani tere saayein main saayein main… 

P.S: Happy Belated Diwali
