Ravi/Liv/Major headcanons for raviweek day 5: Favorite Dynamic

Ravi and Major are always playing video games together and Liv is lowkey #exasperated by it because they will get absorbed it in for hours but they only have two controllers and they’re awful at sharing. 

 For Christmas, Ravi and Major gave Liv a third controller and she really teared up (”is this a -” “no, no, this isn’t a brain it’s all me thank you guys”) 

They’re competitive jerks so they’ll play Smash Brothers and be screaming and yelling insults at each other the entire time.

 Cuddling is nice and they all take turns being the little spoon in the middle. Ravi loves being spooned let’s be real. Liv also enjoys it and will just crawl right on top of Ravi and push him from the middle so she can be spooned. 

Major usually likes to be the big spoon but there are moments when he’s #stressed and needs to be cuddled by the two of them. Ravi is a nuzzler and will really  nuzzle himself into Major’s chest and swing his leg onto Liv and she groans but is hiding her laughter. 

They fight for the couch all the time. Ravi is constantly sleeping on it and Liv will lift up his legs and plop down onto the couch and let his legs plop onto her lap. 

Major will usually shove himself into the smallest open space on the couch and then Ravi will groan and lift up his head and Major will grin and shuffle in more and Ravi will lean his head onto Major’s head and they’ll stay like that for the night. 

Don’t tell me Liv hasn’t dabbed while on a brain. Major and Ravi just stared at her and walked away. 

They love watching movies together - well, Liv and Ravi do, but Major gets a little frustrated because they are always making snarky comments. 

Major is showing them one of his favorite movies and they’re sitting there snickering to each other while Major glares at them.

*Off schedule post for Ravi Week, Day 7: Free Day* 

Character: Ravi Chakrabarti 

From: iZombie

Representation: Racial (Indian) 

Their Importance: Ravi is, quite frankly, one of my favorite male characters I’ve seen. He’s hilarious, smart, witty, and is a 3D character who isn’t just the “funny guy” but has heartwarming (and sometimes serious/heartbreaking) scenes as well. It’s wonderful to see Ravi - a lot of my early exposure to fellow Indians on tv was in a mocking way; they’d be nerdy and considered the “comedic” character of the group, but the jokes always consisted of jokes about the character and their culture, not because they were ever genuinely funny. However, Ravi is different. He’s nerdy, sure, but he’s also completely, genuinely funny in the show and gets to joke around with the characters - he’s never joked about. 

Ravi is just treated the same way as the others - he has flaws, makes mistakes throughout the show, and is allowed to also be brave and fight for his friends - but the show never forgets that he’s also a person of color, as they’ve also shown Ravi’s reactions and exasperation to racist opinions. The way they’ve written Ravi has felt very realistic to me (as realistic as a show about zombies can get, anyway). The show also places a certain amount of importance placed on him, as he’s the only person in-show who’s actually working on a cure for zombies. In short, Ravi is an amazing character and I wish I got to see more Indian characters like him growing up, especially because he shows how to be a funny character without also being the butt of a joke.
