desiness-overload @desiness-overload - Tumblr Blog

INTRODUCTION

Hello! I'm Rhea, but you can call me whatever you want :)

My preferred pronouns are she/her.

This blog is for all my desi tumblrinas.

I'm Desi, I'm from India and I have another blog for Riordanverse content and other randomness. Follow @ambrosia-and-nectar for that.

Warning: I'm a minor, there will be a lot of swearing but l am still a minor.

~~IMPORTANT NOTE~~

Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, pedophilia and general hate anons will not be tolerated. Unfollow, block and DO NOT contact. I will strangle you in your sleep.

Listen: my father speaks Urdu language of dancing peacocks rosewater fountains even its curses are beautiful. He speaks Hindi suave and melodic earthy Punjabi salty rich as saag paneer coastal Kiswahili laced with Arabic, he speaks Gujarati solid ancestral pride. Five languages five different worlds yet English shrinks him down before white men who think their flat cold spiky words make the only reality.

the overwhelming urge to have one end of your dupatta tangled up in someone's wristcuff as aankhon me teri plays in the background

Y'all don't understand how much it means to me that this is an explicitly queer story celebrating same-sex relationships being actively accepted as a family comedy. After decades of people pushing the narrative that queerness isn't family friendly and must be hidden away to "protect the children." It truly is a step in the right direction...

a desi's desiness is not determined by how long they let the parle-g stay in their preferred liquid but by the degree of murder they're willing to inflict on salman khan

Remember how almost every on screen depiction of krishna, whose name means either "dark" or "black" is whitewashed?

this cannot be the same jawani sheila was talking about

Lily pads, grass, leafs on a tree All in their purest forms for individuals to see

Positive, yet negative, high, but low The color of the thread my needle sews

Chartreuse, juniper, sage, olive, fern, or

lime

Basil, pistachio, mint, seafoam, shamrock, moss, and pine

A soothing equilibrium, the opposite of red

A self-controlled renewal that leaves peace inside your head
