benson and randy

[sirswagsalot1]

I fw stalker Benson leaving creepy notes on Randy’s car and in his mailbox very heavy. Especially if they’re unintentionally creepy, and Randy just gets freaked out because he doesn’t know who is leaving them around.

close ups

from a filipino’s stand point, the pitt does such an amazing job showcasing perlah and princess as pillars of the nursing system esp when how big the influx of filipino nurses immigrating to the US to work. but also does a bad job in delivering their characters and only treating them as comic relief.

other filipino stans will not have an issue with that because any type of representation is representation of filipino culture.

but it is very eye opening how perlah and princess will always be treated as comic relief to the story and have zero development (we don’t even know their backstories) yet trinity santos who is played by a white passing wasian is given a bigger role into the story and a whole plotline— that is kinda whats making me a little turned off with her character bc even when it comes to culture, they don’t even represent that well with santos.

little benson things…

The little gun spin benson does in this scene is genuinely so extra for no reason

Hi, I’ve been thinking about your McVadi post all morning since I saw it. I’m not quite sure the question I have other than to ask for you to expand a little bit?

I’m asking because I’m currently writing a McVadi fic and I want to be conscious of the things you’ve brought up and engage with this ship as carefully as possible. I admit I have tagged “mommy issues” although I don’t have a plan to have that come up overtly between McKay & Javadi.

Idk I’m just giving you context.

hello there! regarding my post, i will try to further explain it to my best of my ability so bare with me but i do have a couple points i would like to explain. i explain my side/reasonings as a brown woman so what i am writing is not only my observations but also based on my feelings as a brown woman consuming these medias.

oversexualization of engagement with mommy kink paired with older white and younger brown characters

i have been in the pitt fandom since this show started so i have been in their AO3 tag for a while now. i have noticed a couple patterns with people who ship white woman with brown woman. in media in general, there are a handful of shows/movies that show case the struggles south asian daughters have with south asian mothers. commonly these medias are made coming from a place with interconnection with culture itself. i am not saying EVERY south asian family has a problem with mothers and daughters getting along but it is a big enough problem not to ignore. (saying this just in case anyone tries to argue back that i am generalizing! also starting my talking points with this because it is connected with the points i make below this one).

with javadi’s case, we see in the pitt how she has a conflicting relationship with her mother. we see how her mother wants javadi to pursue something that javadi isn’t sure of wanting or has other interests that she cannot personally voice out— maybe due to fear of rejection or lack of support. javadi seems like the type of person who wants to be respected or listened to except she is already in this conflicting position with her mother where she cannot simply have that. her mother is already overcompensated with this lack of control/demand over javadi and her decisions which seems to be something she doesn’t take lightly.

now back to mcvadi, i personally have noticed several patterns on how people write them or headcanon them. javadi is inexperienced in life, she is sheltered— it’s really okay to admit that because again, she is a young woman with alot to experience in life! however that gets often bastardized especially when people write about that in-connection with mommy kinks projected onto javadi and mckay. not against mommy kinks, i really could care less about that. however it does get to a point where it is overdone to the point where it does feel fetishy and borderline racist.

^^ about that sentence in the end, i think some people are confused why that could be seen as a fetish or racist. i do need to note that south asian women in media (even BACK then during colonialism) were seen as submissive and often abused by white men AND women. south asian woman are often hypersexualized, exoticized and shoved into the submissive stereotype. raceplay also plays a BIG role in objectivity of brown and muslim women in media— there are literal porn categories that over-sexualize indians. we are often seen as objects for sexualization in media rather being judge for our character which is currently what i am seeing people do with javadi.

it really does NOT matter to me if you want to write mcvadi fics of them having an unethical relationship because of their age gap or project mommy kinks onto javadi however there is a point where it does gets overdo and feels almost racist when people shove javadi into the stereotypical depiction of what south asian woman have been fighting against. i often see fics/hcs that depict javadi as some sexually awkward woman and mckay as this dominant woman who teaches her about sex which honestly if you see through my lens— it can look very very racist/weird? 😭 because it is the objectification that people are into while writing these media right? i think people are too into overdoing things that they cannot seem to realize the problem with it (especially white writers in particular) or why some brown women tend to derive away from shipping brown characters with white characters and shipping them with woc instead. (you can see that in twitter how people prefer crashtos over mcvadi).

now if your fic is solely around mommy issues that is not connected with javadi’s relationship with mckay then that is another case. i actually haven’t seen anyone write a mcvadi fic regarding that because everyone is more focused on the sex part with them… 😭 but if you want to be more care and mindful, i personally suggest you try researching more about the struggles of south asian mothers and daughters online. there are many articles of brown woman talking about their experiences. that can help you as a writer to understand how you can convey those issues properly and respectfully.

*taps in the screen* since mcvadi stans think it’s cute to talk about victoria’s scene with her mom as a plot tool for mcvadi when there is so much to talk about not related to that ship.
