Just realized that my dad could've been a real green flag with his golden retriever energy had he not been raised to be toxic by a bunch of pathetic humans in the name of 'parents'

mclennon 70s/80s fix-it fic superiority

#(this is a call to all beatles fic writers out there lol)#my favourite genre of beatles rpf #getting to resolve the angst of the break-up and all of their issues now that they are older and (slightly) wiser #while obviously ofc saving john from being in nyc in december 1980 #i’m also quite partial to any fix-it fic that is set around india or 1967’s summer of love period #i just can’t stand the way things actually happened #though there can be beauty within the grief of their tragedy it just seems unfair that they didn’t get their happy ending #or not even a happy ending persay but the chance to reconnect and grow old alongside each other even if it wasn’t picturesque like some fic #john lennon #paul mccartney #mclennon #the beatles #beatles rpf

i love being both dalit christian and tribal christian because people don't know what slur to call me except rice bag

#people r both racist and casteist but they get confused #it was hurtful when i was growing up bcs a lot of anti-christian sentiment in india stems frm casteism #but now it's just funny #like yeah bitch be ignorant and i will continue to be better than you and your savarna mediocrity

It’s so crazy when you get a glimpse of how differently people view/experience the world from the way you do. Like when someone calls a guy you find totally creepy/ugly “gorgeous” or when someone talks about a life experience they had that is sooo different from yours, and it’s like ??? You really went through that?? In real life???

#about me #like recently I found out a whole bunch of my friends played spin the bottle growing up like wtf #I didn’t think that was something that people did in India #or today someone said heartbreak high was forced diversity like it’s the opposite it’s a show that I feel handles diversity so naturally???

Random thought...

Noah's Indian...I wonder how many if those customs his family follows. He has a bunch of siblings so...giant family unit seems to be a priority. I wouldn't be surprised if they stick to other beliefs as well.

And then comes the question of Noah himself and whether he rejects or conforms to those beliefs.

This is just random stuff I think about sometimes lmao- I over-analyze a lot sometimes.

#total drama #tdi #total drama island #total drama noah #tdi noah #I kinda headcanon his grandparents as immigrants #and maybe his mom or dad met a Canadian born citizen #it would make him mixed #and perhaps growing up in Canada has gotten then to loosen up on some of those customs #people who headcanon him as gay/bi #myself included #could see the conflict that could create in his family #especially if the older members of his family #are among those who oppose homosexuality in any way #that would probably be a little too real for some so #i could see why they probably wouldn't go that route with it #india has taken steps toward lgbt acceptance but #bigotry still runs pretty rampant over there

also like i was going to reblog ur post abt it last night with a good old ramble but i literally don't know how to articulate any of it. being diaspora + being mixed = NO media that ever caters to how different that experience is AND how simultaneously u have both of the cultures AND that of the place u were born. like. being chinese and being told by all my khmer friends i'm a lot more chinese than khmer because of our food & social etiquette etc vs seeing chinese diaspora media and it's all... so Clean. like no mention of being lower middle class it's all going after wealth and being Chinese American. idk. it is complicated

ohhhh yeah. idk man growing up in diaspora is its own beast yknow?? i could not imagine adding being mixed on top of that like truly like the identity crisis mustve been. insane for you which like. fucking sucks :/ on some level though i get what you mean abt not feeling represented by representation bc like. idk its hard to put into words but for me a lot of the times its like. here i see a character who looks like me but i dont feel seen. if that makes sesne

#also like?? idk just on diaspora in general like growing up in diaspora vs growing up the sole member of a minority in a white neighborhood #are two very different experiences #bc like. ifl growing up in diaspora its almost. a whole other culture has been created yknow?? some kind of american but not quite smoothie #idk!!! for me its like. i love my brown friends i hate my brown friends i have never been anywhere where i have not had brown friends #and its to the point where i have almost exclusively brown friends where i met as well be in fucking india except im not. just. idk #like the effect its had!!! and like its not sunshine and rainbows i think on one hand its like wow im so happy to have commmunity #on the other hand. this community sometimes sort of fucking sucks. and ill never regret growing up this way but specific things. yeah #idk!!!!! im kinda just rambling sorry just the experience?? ykwim #ink !!#asks
