#devi x ben

[homemade-ghosts]

if there's one thing mindy kaling's gonna do it's write a bj novak-esque, sometimes-jewish, usually rich, pretentious asshole love interest with a good heart who has an enemies-to-lovers arc with her main girl...and if there's one thing i'm gonna do, it's eat it up every time. whatever's wrong with her is also wrong with me, i guess.

Devi Vishwakumar is one of the best main female characters and I will deeply miss her.

I love how unapologetically messy and chaotic she was. It was a wild ride seeing her make some questionable decisions. It was great to see a woman of color allowed to be messy and entangled in romantic affairs. It was amazing to see Tamil representation and how it focuses on family relationships and how difficult it is to handle cultural and generational differences. Ultimately, NHIE is about a teenager navigating grief and such a traumatic event. Devi and Nalini’s relationship was extremely complicated but perfectly illustrates how difficult it is to raise your kid when you have been raised differently so seeing their relationship grow and evolve to such tender and supportive bond was such a beautiful journey to have witnessed.

Devi was messy, cringey, confused, frustrating but also funny, driven, smart, kind and deeply human. She was allowed to make mistakes and try again until she figures it out. Her growth this season was so brilliant to see and she’s going to make many more mistakes in the future but already has such great support system in her life. Has learned to value herself and her worth. I love she got to have her romantic ending, her dream school and loved for all of her messiness.

I will miss Devi and every character in NHIE, as a show is definitely one I will rewatch multiple times and I cannot wait to see what Maitreyi does with her future because she’s brilliant.

something something devi and ben are each other’s mirrors, and the reason devi hates ben in s1 is because in him she sees of all the traits that she hates in herself, but by the time she admits she loves him the s4 finale, she is in a much better place re: her trauma and has finally grown and learned to love herself, which allows her to love ben, her mirror, as well
