[gnomebutch]

I hate when some straight women say “men claim they prefer women without makeup…but this is what they think ‘no makeup’ looks like” as they proceed to do a full face of subtle coverage and mascara or whatever as if that’s somehow owning men. Wowww our perception of female beauty standards is so warped that women applying several products is considered the bare minimum! and it’s somehow not weird that straight men are repulsed by the faces of the sex they are supposedly attracted to unless there’s a bunch of products smeared onto it!!! Seriously what’s the point of saying “um actually they DONT like us without makeup and they just don’t know it haha men are so stupid” YOU ARE IN A CAGEEEEE !!!!!!

[squiggly-lines-09]

Miss vishakha keeps blocking me when she has no reply and proceeds to unblock me when she's cooked up a response that is essentially a biryani of facts pulled out of the depths of her heart to prove her point

[vishakhalunar]

idk, maybe because you support abusive people. i’m not gonna pull anything because you’re a fucking clowning-ass troll. i’ve never had an argument with you, other than your “leave india” bullshit, after which you unleashed some rapey clown from your gang to prove whatever the fuck you were trying to prove.

go ahead and support the least relevant person when it comes to indian affairs, because apparently that’s very “country-loving” of you.

and btw, please take some english classes. this is embarrassing to read.

“Every fascist regime needs communities and groups it can demonize in order to thrive. It starts with one group or two. But it never ends there. A movement built on hate can only sustain itself by continually creating fear and strife. Those of us today who feel secure because we are not Muslims or Christians are living in a fool’s paradise. The Sangh is already targeting the Leftist historians and “Westernized” youth. Tomorrow it will turn its hate on women who wear skirts, people who eat meat, drink liquor, watch foreign films, don’t go on annual pilgrimages to temples, use toothpaste instead of danth manjan, prefer allopathic doctors to vaids, kiss or shake hands in greeting instead of shouting ‘Jai Shri Ram’. No one is safe. We must realize this if we hope to keep India alive,” - Khushwant Singh, The End of India, 2003

[tomorrowwithme]

Some people still haven't got the memo that Hindutva or Hindu nationalism is a movement or an ideology that was born from the advocacy of some highly educated people who sought to unite Hindus against a real existential threat that at the time wasn't merely physically attacking Hindus but also legally tried to disenfranchise Hindus. It is thanks to those "Hindu nationalists" that you as an Indian with a Hindu name (even if you're an atheist / non-believer / anti-hindutva / secular) have a country to call yours.

Imagine being a psychopath who thinks that bringing up the roots of someone who's part of a genocided Hindu minority group is a gotcha. Don't they know that Indian Hindutva nationalists would rather support a pro-Hindu person from literally anywhere else over an Ajmal Kasab apologist Indian wannabe leftist? Lol

[vishakhalunar]

okay madam clown.

“hindutva saved you because you’re hindu” is genuinely one of the most historically illiterate flexes i’ve ever seen 😭

bitch saved me from WHAT??

india did not get independence because some rss uncle spawned in 1925 and said “dw guys i got this.” the freedom struggle was fought by literally millions of indians across congress, revolutionaries, communists, socialists, workers, students, peasants, dalits, adivasis, women, minorities etc.

and the organised hindutva movement does not get to steal that credit retroactively.

the hindu mahasabha literally participated in governments with the muslim league. savarkar's politics during wwii involved cooperation with the british war effort and recruitment/militarisation rather than joining the congress-led mass struggle. the quit india movement happened and the hindutva organisations were not exactly standing at the front screaming angrezon bharat chhodo.

and here's another little historical detail these people mysteriously develop amnesia about:

the rss didn't even regularly hoist the indian tricolour at its headquarters for decades.

the nagpur headquarters only began regularly hoisting the tricolour on independence day and republic day much later. for years, the organisation's relationship with the national flag was so fucking weird that you could apparently be the self-appointed guardian of “nationalism” while treating the actual national flag like an unwanted guest.

then independence happens and suddenly everyone discovers they were apparently the founding fathers of india 😭

what did you actually build?

the constitution? no.

indian citizenship? no.

universal adult franchise? no.

the anti-colonial mass movement? no.

the republic? no.

and when hindu society itself desperately needed reform, suddenly the great defenders of hindu civilisation became allergic to reform.

hindu code bill comes along to give hindu women stronger inheritance, marriage and property rights and conservative hindu organisations go ERM ACTUALLY THIS IS AN ATTACK ON HINDU CULTURE 🤓☝️

untouchability and caste oppression exist and somehow the people screaming about saving hindu civilisation aren't exactly leading the fucking revolution against the hierarchy inside hindu society.

because apparently “protect hindu civilisation” means protecting the civilisation from women getting rights.

and politically, the record is repeatedly less “protect indian national interests” and more “protect our ideological interests, india be damned.”

colonial rule? cooperation when convenient.

quit india? not their mass movement.

muslim league? apparently coalition partner when politically useful.

hindu social reform? suddenly civilisation is collapsing because women might inherit property.

indian tricolour? apparently too spicy for the headquarters for decades.

then gandhi gets murdered by a hindu nationalist.

nathuram godse was a hindu nationalist who murdered gandhi, had been associated with the hindu mahasabha and savarkar, and the independent indian government subsequently banned the rss.

so forgive me if i don't start crying about how these people personally handed me my country.

jab bhi kisi ko maara, hindustani ko maara.

gandhi? hindustani.

political opponents? hindustani.

communal victims? overwhelmingly ordinary indians.

caste-oppressed hindus? apparently also hindustani enough to be told to shut the fuck up.

and then you have the audacity to tell me, an indian national, that i supposedly owe my country to your ideology?

girl please.

you live in a western secular country and want to cosplay as the constitutional architect of india from the safety of another fucking continent 😭

if you want a hindu nation so badly, wonderful. advocate for it in your home country. go make bangladesh a hindu rashtra for all i care.

but don't come crawling with this “hindutva gave you india” bullshit.

india is not an rss family heirloom.

you people keep demanding credit for a house you didn't build while spending half your time trying to set the fucking furniture on fire. and im jus gonna leave this: the "kasab apologist" nonsense

[vishakhalunar]

@inchidentofftrack lol i think she’s trying to intimidate you for no reason. (iykyk who)

maine block kr diya isliye now she’s harassing another teenager lol.

[inchidentofftrack]

[coffeeinthebackpack]

Also, nine out of ten times it's a conservative religious person who preaches love, kindness, and respect who will call you a whore, give you death threats, and use the most abhorrent slurs and cusses imaginable.

[vishakhalunar]

why is the bj party like this dawg?

[sweet61]

Translation:

The conceitedness of North Indian sanghis will never not be funny. Bitch your bhikari katora depends on Kharge's taxes. But North Indian sanghis don't bother with pUrIfYiNg that money. How convenient.

[vishakhalunar]

krishna, radha and vishakha

one thing i find really interesting about radha is that she isn't just this endlessly patient, submissive woman sitting around waiting for krishna to remember she exists 😭 she wants him. she gets jealous, angry, possessive, demanding, she sulks, she complains, she can basically go “actually fuck this” when he's being annoying. and in some of the later erotic vaishnava traditions, she eventually gets tired of always being the one in the receptive position, being mounted, and wants to reverse the whole dynamic, and mount krishna. she wants to pursue him. she wants to be the one calling the shots. and honestly that makes her so much more interesting than just “krishna's devoted girlfriend.”

basically radha and krishna really said “wait what if i was you” and committed to the bit 😭

there's this later vaishnava līlā where they straight up swap clothes. radha puts on krishna's yellow clothes, crown, sometimes his flute, while krishna puts on radha's sari, veil and jewellery. basically radha becomes hari and hari becomes radha. (picture above)

and it's not just “lol krishna is wearing a sari.” the whole point is that they're so ridiculously absorbed in each other that they start taking on each other's identity. lover and beloved, masculine and feminine, pursuer and pursued — all of it gets flipped around for the līlā.

also pls don't let the internet gaslight you about vishakha 💀 vishakha is normally one of radha's closest sakhis, not simply another name for radha in these stories. radha is associated with the nakshatra of vishakha.

vidyapati has a poem about krishna taking radha's clothes, but that's not the same thing as the literal radha↔krishna outfit swap. the actual role-reversal thing fits much better into the later vaishnava līlā-hāva tradition.

and honestly the funniest part is that krishna goes along with it. since she is tired of being mounted, she and krishna decide to shake things up.

which is why i find the radha connection to viśākhā nakshatra interesting too. viśākhā has this whole imagery of branching, choosing a direction, wanting something and actually going after it. there are two paths and you have to pick one. you're not just standing there waiting for somebody else to decide where you're going.

and i think that's a way more interesting feminine archetype than the whole “strong woman = woman who acts like a man” thing because boringggg. radha can be feminine and still be aggressive. romantic and still demanding. deeply in love and still want power in the relationship. she can want someone without turning herself into this passive little object waiting to be chosen.

because that's the thing about radha: she wants krishna too. it's not just krishna desiring her while she patiently receives his affection. sometimes she wants him enough to completely flip the dynamic. the woman who's normally being pursued decides she's going to pursue. the beloved decides she's going to become the lover.

and then she literally puts on his clothes.

radha really looked at krishna and went “you've had your turn. move.” before stealing his entire wardrobe 😭

Because Sun nakshatra women are upheld as very pure and virginal girls that always say and do the right thing and never do anything “bad” when they are kids, they tend to be the main women who have “Good girl gone bad” glow ups in their adulthood. They have to keep reminding people that they are not little girls anymore and that they can be sexy and fierce because they previously had such innocent and girlish images.

Good examples are Britney Spears (Uttara Phalguni), Sydney Sweeney (Uttara Ashadha), Dayoung (Krittika), Lili Reinhart (Uttara Phalguni) in Riverdale, and Olivia Newton John (Uttara Phalguni) in Grease . Miley Cyrus (Krittika) had her Cant Be Tamed era, Megan Fox also had a crazy glow-up. Rihanna has Ketu in Uttara Phalguni and she released the album “Good Girl Gone Bad” when she was in her Ketu dasha. Jojo Siwa (Uttara Ashadha) also went from the bubbly and overly colorful child influencer to whatever the hell she is doing now.

It’s also interesting to note how Sun nakshatra women are often seen in beauty pageants, especially Krittika being prominent in Miss World and Miss Universe contestants, due to these women’s ability to transform from humble beginnings as little girls to being well-rounded, mature, and confident women who dont easily let themselves be backed into a corner even when they are being harshly criticized or mocked. Beauty pageantry also requires the women to have lots of skills and educational background and Sun women are known to be studious learners all throughout their lives. They’re the types to get degrees and learn languages far into their adult years whereas most people wouldnt see the point in doing so once their 20s are over. They are “rebellious” but not in the chaotic sense of Saturn or Rahu wanting to rebel for the sake of changing societal rules and dynamics . Sun nakshatra are “rebels” simply because they want to be themselves without having to worry about the criticism and standards of others. They’re not necessarily rebelling to seek attention and change the world, they’re not even doing these things because they seek to “rebel”. It just happens when you are authentically yourself as an adult people take that as being rebellious.

You often hear these women also cracking jokes about why they cant understand why so many people view them as rebellious because they genuinely dont see how just being themselves without inhibiting beliefs is something abnormal or “different” to others. In their perspective, this is just the most natural and thoughtless way to live without stress and peer pressure. They dont want to be “sexy babies” and they dont want to be “a mature milf” archetype either; they just want to be children when theyre children and be adult women when they are adult women. I remember an Eartha Kitt (Uttara Ashadha) interview where she expressed agitation with these types of silly labels on her womanhood. Chee (Krittika) has also done so, in her famous interview where her mother told her to “marry a rich man” and Cher responded “Mom, I am a rich man!” pointing out how silly the label is and how that type of statement can unintentionally take her own confident and mature self-expression away from her and be given to a man instead (which is unfair and ridiculous).

Britney in particular has a lot of songs where she sings about how shes not a little girl anymore and she hates how overprotected and sheltered her family and social circle keep trying to make her even though shes now an adult and just want to do adult things. A lot of people can sense the innocence and abundant, happy state of “just being” in Sun nakshatra girl and try to coddle and shelter them from the outside world in fear that she may be “tainted” or something. I had also noticed previously how these nakshatras are also common in child brides and mormonism for the same reason.

A lot of people want to push them into the mold of puritan culture because they refuse to accept that these women are not little girls with “innocent” lifestyles anymore. You often hear them saying how stressed that are that people wont take them seriously and how no one will understand they have passionate, womanly urges and desires like everyone else. They feel pressured to stay silent but they usually break free ⛓️‍💥and become radically different and unintentionally very inspiring female figures as a result. They show the duality of women best.

Excuse the messy collages. I never claimed to be a graphic designer.

They can look very rough and frumpy (possibly even nerdy or awkward and “uncool”) when theyre younger and might be called prudish or even naive in their romantic relationships and beliefs as a result.

People also tend to be in awe how the Sun nakshatra woman can possibly be the same person they knew in the past, because their transformations are often so different from who they were presented as prior.

Because the Sun is the most masculine and yang planetary energy, these women often dont feel very beautiful or feminine when they are younger. They can be similar to Jupiterian women in being like a nerdy, frumpy fat kid who gets ignored by most people; though Sun nakshatras tend to have a bubblier and friendlier, more positive personality so they can still maintain some friendships in their youth despite them not feeling like they match certain standards of girlhood. They usually experience things later in life than other girls, perhaps their first kiss or their first period, maybe even first time on a date, etc. This is also a similar theme in Jupiterian women.

In the tv show Insatiable, the character played by Krittika Debby Ryan desires to lose weight in any way she can because she’s sick of not knowing what it feels like to be beautiful and well-liked. After she loses the weight, she has an extremely shocking transformation that everyone in town, not even her own family, can fully comprehend as being possible. And she quickly notices how much nicer people are to her and how much more she gets acknowledged and appreciated throughout the day as well. She has a hard time handling this sudden 180 in people directing attention at her and she starts to spiral into even more toxic self-esteem issues than what she had when she was fat. Which i think is also a common pattern for Sun nakshatra women. They are surprised at how differently people treat them after their “good girl gone bad” transformations and instead of being able to properly soak in the abundance of attention, they actually start to shun it more and can even experience mental breakdowns as a result of it being too much for them. They can’t wrap their head around how the same people can be so harsh to them one day and then friendly the next because it’s not in the nature of Sun to be wishy-washy and manipulative in the amount of kindness and emotion they give to others in this way. This type of behavior from the masses is very lunar at its core and rahuvian and venusian (sometimes even Saturnian) at its most intense. Both Rahu and Venus (as well as Saturn) view the Sun as an enemy and for Solar women this type of conditional love can be very disheartening for them as the Sun is the most unconditional planet, giving all of its light and joy to everyone without discrimination.
