this is my first time writing a request, so please let me know if i need to be more specific! i was wondering if you could write a desi reader x the dorm heads (twisted wonderland). like introducing the boys to the culture and stuff like that? thank you!!
YES OF COURSE!!!! I’m desi myself! We desperately need representation in anime/game spaces, these are just the ones I could think of one the spot, but I saw this request and it made my day!!
also fun fact: this blog was originally supposed to be centered around desi women, but I couldn’t keep up with that idea, this is such a lovely reminder!!
Warnings: Fluff, food, hair mentioned, ‘starting a family’ mention but no kids or anything, unapologetic cultural appreciation, desi families (positive), author calls the pale ones gora pakoras, rambling
Dorm Leaders with a Desi Girlfriend!
Riddle Rosehearts
I don’t think you understand how much your mom loves him
His spice tolerance is at ZERO, but boy will he try for you
He adores gulab jamuns, I mean ROSES?? WITH DESSERT?? This is his destiny
Adores chai, drinks more chai than all your aunts combined
He loves chai so much he’ll ask for you to make it for the tea parties, drinks the chai with biscuits
OFF WITH THEIR HEAD to anyone who calls it ‘chai tea’ !!!
Desi jewelry is his favorite thing you wear, the intricate patterns and shapes make his heart beat faster
If you get him jewelry he’s probably gonna cry
“You look absolutely gorgeous, I almost can't believe you’re with me.”
Leona Kingscholar
The mix of y’all’s cultures is perfect
He will happily eat spicy meat, he can go on about the meat
Biryani is his favorite, goat or chicken
You might expect me to say your parents don’t like him, but HE’S LITERALLY A PRINCE, man is rich asf you’re gonna be taken care of
He’s also so respectful to your mom, she def tells you to act more like him
If you have to accompany him to some gaudy event in the savanna, and you choose to wear cultural clothing, like a sari or salwar kameez, he’s literally frozen

He’s buying a ring as we speak
All the whatsapp aunties are gossiping about the two of you, but you literally couldn’t care
He’s def the type to buy you jewelry
“I- god for once in my life I literally don’t have words, you’re glowing.”
Azul Ashengrotto
I will defend fishy fishman until my last day
he is such a good boyfriend, always treating you out and keeping you happy
Your parents support you two, because Azul has a good head on his shoulders and has a good chance of being successful
He really adores you in blue, especially blue lehengas, you look like a princess to him
he is super appreciative whenever you introduce him to new recipes, his lounge may even use some of the spice blends you suggest (with credit)
He enjoys paneer pakoras, fried desi food is a wonder to him
“I know I’m stuffing my face right now, but can you really blame me?”
Kalim Al-Asim
HE IS PERFECT !!
He’s so happy to meet someone of a similar culture to him!
But this is also where his main problem lies..
He’s so blushy around you its crazy
Never did he think he could meet someone who he knows so well, who feels like home and warm welcomes
You two go on so many adventures
Jamil is so tired, let my man rest
Sometimes the cultural overlap is so prominent, especially in words and food items
Both of you adore a good lamb curry
You ever see that tikitok trend, the “I can’t date outside of my culture because how am I supposed to explain _______”
You both can relate to that one.
Something about you brings out the poet in him
(I have to stop eventually because this could just become it’s own post)
“You are my home, you are warmth and kindness packed into a beautiful human being.”
Vil Shoenheit
THIS
He’s honestly so happy to be in a relationship with a desi girl, you open up a whole new world to him
I feel like he would be an appreciator of desi bread on his cheat days
Especially paratha, it’s so buttery and rich, he’ll eat it with achaar
Your clothes always astound him
He’s used to glitz and glamour, but the sheer amount of detail in your outfits, that will leave him speechless
I believe he’d enjoy salwar kameez, especially in a more early 2000s way (think kabhi khushi kahbie gham)
Honestly he enjoys everything about desi fashion, he deeply respects you for wearing those HEAVY
Helps you oil your hair, it’s an extremely intimate moment and you grow a lot closer together
“Liebling, please hold still, I still have to get to the back of your head!”
Idia Shroud
(He’s Greek in my heart)
Idia is such a little loser/pos
He’s so nervous at any of your family gatherings, ortho has to hype him up before
He’s definitely the person at a desi house party who slips away after the food is served, literally gone
If he ever visits your country (in a different dimension lol) he might have a tough time
Homie is so sensitive to hot weather, he’s getting sunburned so hard
He gets so shy when you’re all dolled up, he can’t even look you in the eye
You just look so above his league
This is where you build his confidence, because he would look gorgeous in desi clothes
Him in a kurta is the thing that would actually kill me
Idia is obsessed with you, even if the time you spend together is spent inside his room, cuddled up watching anime or playing games instead of socializing
You probably get him into old bollywood movies
“I mean, we ate already, what’s the point of sticking around?”
Malleus Draconia
He’s a well educated person, so he probably keeps a respectful distance until you start educating him on your culture
Malleus deeply enjoys the sense of family in desi culture, the community that helps one another and keeps your head lifted
It reminds him of his own caring upbringing
He’s another appreciator of desi desserts, more modern ones tend to stick to him better, like mango ice cream
He is smitten with Rooh Afza in milk, even if he doesn’t need human drinks
He finds your cultural apparel so pretty
especially if you wear deeper colors like emerald and black
He really just wants to match
Really enjoys historical drama bollywood movies
Is the type to tell you when your chunni is slipping off, and carries extra safety pins to help with fashion mishaps
“I hope one day, our own family will be a beautiful as this.”
I’m so sorry for the bad dialogue, every time I try to think of something a character says, the voice in my head (inner monologue) turns into bob belcher from bob’s burgers. I will be trying my best to fix the flat dialogue with better nicknames and stuff. Thank you for reading.
