One Thing I Dont Like About Never Have I Ever Is How It Portrays Brown Guys. There Were Like Three And

One thing I don’t like about Never Have I Ever is how it portrays brown guys. There were like three and out of those three the two that were connected to their culture were portrayed as red flags. Des was a mommas boys and Prashant, I can’t remember exactly but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t exactly supportive of Kamala’s whole issue with the research paper. And the only one guy who ends up in a relationship is whitewashed. Than there’s Mohan, who’s dead. Even Pati ended up with a white guy (from what I heard as I haven’t watch season 4 yet).

Des was perfect for Devi, he was nice, repeating, challenged her academically and put her in her place about her views about their culture. I like to think he was the reason Devi started appreciating and accepting her culture more and while I love Devi’s character development from hating her culture to accepting it and appreciating it, I would’ve loved to see more of brown culture explored. I really wanted to see a brown couple go through Navratri, playing Garba, Diwali, Holi, and all the other festivals together. Also no white man understands how fun and exciting it feels when you’re celebrating these like someone from the same culture. I know a lot of brown girls say brown men are red flags and while that may be true and it’s a whole different conversation as why they might be like that, not every brown guy is like a red flag. The way they grew up and who they were raised by plays a huge role on who they are, everyone is different and I really wish brown guys were portrayed in a better light because this is also a stereotype although maybe not as bad as the whole “all brown guys are creeps and pervs,”

There’s also almost no representation of brown couple in media, there’s like one I can think of and that’s Asha and Ravi from Netflix’s Wedding Season.

Ms. Marvel also have good representation of brown men and, mixed race relationships, that’s aren’t yk just white x POC

Aru Shah and The End of Time

Chapter 1 - 10

How is this girl so good at lying on the spot?

I relate to her to much, I was just like her in 7th grade

This girl is going on an adventure in her Spider-Man PJs, couldn’t be more relatable

I like Mini, I wonder which Pandava she is

Bro she’s so freaking funny I love her

I can’t with the chapter 8 title “Who’s your Daddy?” I can’t 😭

Disclaimer: My knowledge of the scriptures like Ramayan and Mahabharata are limited to the stories that were told to me when I was young and shows I watched. And the little bit of research that I did

This girl freaking out that the great Indra is her dad but wait until she realizes how many times he almost caused the end of the world.

But it would be pretty cool to have him as your dad

Ehhh Mini is Yudhishthir

I cannot believe they were doing eeny, meeny to see who dies

And Aru cheats by saying nose goes? 😭

A Ping Pong Ball?! 😭

Lmao I didn’t even think of it that way, especially since her brother died and she was grieving, she was not in the right mental space to be there, she never is imo.

Yet again, team cap stans on ao3 calling Irondad toxic and abusive. Like um???

all this while they think Wanda is a kid because Steve said so and they think it was morally okay for Steve to bring said (untrained) kid to a mission in Lagos and then make her a war criminal after illegally crossing international borders. but sure, irondad and spiderson is toxic and abusive 🙄

Aru Shah and The End of Time

Chapter 17 - Chapter 30

Omg does she meet Narada Muni? I hope she does, that man’s too funny not to be included

I love Boo

Nvm I don’t, can’t believe that man is Shakhuni

Aru may forgive him but I won’t

I think Mini may have overreacted, still love her tho

Can’t believe they flew over the Ocean of Milk and didn’t see Vishnu, smh

Okay I don’t get it, what exactly is the ping pong ball?

“The Door and The Dog” don’t tell me it’s Cyberus or something similar is going to be there

Nvm it’s just two big dogs

Mini’s in her Draco Malfoy Era

If the last Claiming happened just before World War II does that mean that the atomic bomb was a celestial weapon or yk the Brahmastra?

I love Mini and Chitrigupta

OMG INDRAPRASTHA PALACE

I feel so bad for the palace, the Pandavas lived in it for a couple of years at most

Lmao not Mini’s task being arguing with herself

I would love to argue with myself

Aww I love the Palace

I wish the Palace was my home

I almost cried when they left the Palace

I honestly need a better reason than “the gods don’t interfere with mortal business anymore” about why the gods themselves aren’t fixing this, cuz his involves them too. Give a prophecy or a boon as a reason and I’ll believe it. Hinduism is known for prophecies, boons, and curses.

Shukra is sick

I want his friends to call me Bhabhi

i'm sorry, did marvel kill off the last famous agent of shield, Maria Hills, by fake Nick Fury?

she better get Tahiti like Coulson or I will attack
