sweetness of my solitary @pastel-blunts - Tumblr Blog

my boyfriend kisses me so tenderly, brings me all these meds for a cough and sore throat, lets me lick his face, eats me good, lets me have mental breakdowns in front of him every other week at least and is only kind and patient with me, is helping me learn what i deserve, goes thrifting with me, is the best concert buddy, tells me my pussy is magical, drives so far 2-3 times a week just to see me, reads all my poetry, takes pictures of me (candid, posed, nude), never speaks over me, met my family, gets drunk on henny with me, is the funniest person i know, also the most tender person i know, dresses so well but so differently from folx, sings on the spot tunes for me, is friends with my sisters, is not scared of committing to me, lets me be obsessed with him, supports his friends being my friends, supports my queerness and femininity and ideas of feminism + race, is the finest man, has the best jawline and smile, introduces me to the best music, spontaneously goes with me to eat churros and pierce my nipple and skip in the ttc, fucks me so well, gives forehead kisses, reciprocates my tight hugs, loves someone who is such a disaster, is my creative partner, gets high and comes up with ingenious ideas with me, inspires me to make things, and helps me blossom.

i love him.

I did a shoot with some of my favorite people. It’s called Brown Boys Do Cry. This photo series was shot by Kuru Selvarajah and creatively directed by me, Mirusha Yogarajah. The models in the images are Nivake Sukumarand Ravishan Thanarajah.

Brown Boys Do Cry aims to address how comfort with notions of femininity and masculinity allows brown boys to be their whole selves. Self-identified boys can embrace the truest forms of themselves if they dismiss notions of masculinity that are commonly waged in the South Asian community. The marvel of masculinity dictates so much of how men reinforce forms of patriarchy and violence onto others and onto themselves. Sexual assault, domestic violence, alcoholism, and gendered forms of work are intensely reinforced within the South Asian community. I saw this within my beautiful boy cousins who remain so tender and so wonderful, but are constantly told that painting their nails or wearing pink is explicitly for women. They were also told that their duties were to make an income and sustain a family, and were exempt from learning domestic duties, unlike their sisters.

I want to show the beauty of brown skinned men being able to dismiss gendered ideas. I want them to caress flowers, make milk tea for themselves, wear whatever colors they desire, and adorn South Asian jewelry and pottus. Brown boys do cry, and they don’t need to cry through violence or a masked face. They can be free.
