Here's a link to KD Pathak x IM Jaiswal fic from the TV show Adaalat (2010-2015) in case anyone's interested.

[realizing-myself]

I have come to the conclusion

that K.D. Pathak was queer.

more under the cut...

Is this a combination of listening to my parents watch Adaalat while I read knives out tag on tumblr? Maybe.

But prove me wrong? Literally the whole season 2 with his wife was so contrived and terrible that it had to be cancelled.

Like I watched it before I even thought of being queer and I thought it was shit even with my rather low standards for anything crime procedural related.

Now, of course, people will ask, oh, just because he doesn't have good relationships with women, doesn't mean he's gay?

And Ya know what, i'll actually agree on that. At least based on his characterization of the show, however, he is an intensely private person about his secrets to the point where no one knows his name or what his parents looked like until like ep. 300 or something.

NOOOOOOO, wait he could be gay. SHIT, he could be gay for I.M. Jaiswal because they're created to be pretty good foils to each other, the good-hearted defense lawyer v. the ruthless state prosecutor. I would like to say before I was just like thinking if he was gay and therotically in a relationship during the canon of the show, his assistant Varun would be liek the worst person ever. but I.M. Jaiswal could work out. secret relationship b/c homophobia, ya know the stuff of fanfics.

Although honestly, I would headcanon him as gay or at least some degree of being attracted to his own gender even without shipping him with anybody because honestly he deserves one thing he can be proud of for himself after hiding so much away.

BUt, i feel ike even more I headcanon him as ace or aro. and now, you might be thinking, why the heck did you rant about shipping him with this other dude if that's what you were thinking along?

for the first part, the ship and being aro or ace don't have to be mutually exclusive. I think there's enough tension between the two to start a relationship in ways you wouldn't expect.

or k.d. could be biro, but back on point, I think he is rather disillusioned with romance as a concept because of his parents and what he sees in his cases to a certain extent.

here I end for today, lmk if you want me to speculate on the queerness of other characters in indian shows

Context

Arjuna leasurly staring at the bees circling the flowers when his Madhav appeared with the sweetest smile out of the blue(as always).

The archerer was worried those bees will trouble his sweet honey.

Arjuna: I will ward off the bees for you Madhav!

Krishna: ???

(Imagine a garden in the background cuz immoi bad at it 😅.)

Krishna : *in the middle of a philosophical yapping session* What do you think, Parth?

Arjuna : *Has long since lost track of the conversation* Madhav is absolutely correct! (Oh my god, he's so warm!)

Krishna : *Notices* Anyway*continues yapping*

Arjuna : ^^
