Being friends with crust punks is wild. I knew a guy who got a tattoo of a train on his leg and then the next week he lost his legs trainhopping. When I was like 16 I was on the roof of a house during a party and the cops rolled up. I stayed put figuring the cops weren’t gonna look on the fuckin roof and I watched this same guy roll out in his wheelchair and slash the cops tires.

TYPES OF INDIAN BOYS
(disclaimer: please don't take this as stereotyping this is just for prompts besties)
the lukhnawi lover boi: loves cats would die for cats would kill for cats, will tell their mom about you, rings 👀, pinching their nose bridge, a tight black kurta they can't let go of, makes the best maggi you can think of, raises eyebrows teasingly whenever you give them a compliment, plays gully cricket with kids, *scrunches nose*, can't talk about you without blushing uncontrollably, tapri ki chai™, plays atleast one instrument, pleading puppy face, gifted you jhumkas once hasn't recovered from the precious look on your face yet, will nuzzle in your neck after a hard day, "let's compare hands na"
the bande bula dunga behenchod: old delhi, or as they put it "shahjahanabad hota hai yaar", chicken kadhi ka kurta, scribbled post-it notes with little hearts for you, kulhad koffee go brrrrr, is best friend with the vegetable vendor, kebab dates, *massages jaw very segsy*, black denim, partner & low-key bully, whistles when you check yourself out in an fit, middle finger, pro at dumb charades, calls you their gulab jamun, very politely asks you at 4 in the morning to come with him for a highway ride (you say yes obviously), gives you cute messy pottery mugs, says behenchod a LOT. *loosens tie*, kisses your tears away, will get into a fight with their parents for you
the bhai coolers are way better than acs okay: probably from west india, listens to rag artists makes you listen you raag artists now you love raag artists, runs on terrace dances on terrace type, you have a bandhani chunni, lehriya chunni, malmal chunni at this point you think they're a chunni smuggler, PANI PURI DATES, manically tells pani puri bhaiyya "aur teekha banao maza nai aaya", dozes off in your lap, has a cute pout, rubs his eyes like a schoolboy after waking up, makes fruit salad for you, "my clothes are your clothes only", aloo bhujia enthusiast, makes you rethink life choices when they wink at you, bakes you cupcakes,
the did you put four pleats in the saree or five because like i wanna match: gives you forehead massages, "istg if you say lungi dance is your favourite south indian song one more time even as a joke i will literally break up with you", probably smokes but in a cool vintage poet way, long hugs, *launches themselves into the bed stomach first*, the softest cotton shirts you can think off, leaves rice on balcony for pigeons, park dates, thumb caresses, sleeps on your shoulder on bus rides, will cradle you like a baby after a hard day, bought a gajra for you one day and almost fainted from the smile on your lips, plays uno with you till 2 a.m. looses majestically, *touches toes under the family dinner table*
the thand lag jaayegi tumhe: holds a hand out for you, dirty jokes while almost going to sleep that cause you to snort and literally die from laughing, big fat sibling bully, a yellow light bulb lamp on their desk, braids your hair even if it's not long enough to braid, rogue-ish smile, squishes your face together just because, pastel mufflers, warm hands but cold af feet, loves to play cards, always looses in cards, gently moves your hair out of your eyes, lots of flannel and joggers pants, *cries in can't eat softies without getting a throat itch*, human embodiment "jhatak kar zulf jab tum tauliye se baarishein aazaad karti ho, accha lagta hai", makes you flustered very easily, god complex AND insecure, pakode, palm kisses, wears this watch you gifted him everywhere, "i love you very much jaan but if you eat my oreos again i'll push you off a cliff"
one day keating walks in on the charlie and pitts holding todds legs and neil and cameron holding his arms swinging him, preparing to throw him as meeks and knox chant “chemistry” over and over while holding candles
and todds just there like -_- as his friends prepare to throw him into a pile of pillows, blankets, and papers
and keating is like: what the fuck are you guys doing
and they all simultaneously say “sacrificing todd to our chemistry homework so we pass the test”
and keating is like: what the actual fuck
and todd gives him a little wave and then they throw him

someone finally said it
I don't think USA peeps realise how much they dominate the cultural hegemony of the rest of the world, especially in English-speaking countries. We have to base our politics and phraseology around whatever you guys are up to (even when our problems are different to yours), we watch your films and TV shows, we listen to your music and we eat your food. Our leaders prostrate themselves before your leaders and beg for good trade deals, beg for military aid, beg for humanitarian aid, or an end to trade embargos. You guys can pretend you don't live in the most powerful country in the world, you can pretend you aren't the biggest exporters of both hard and soft power in the world, but we live with you in our ears. I could put on a passable American accent from the age of 10, and now the accents of my parents are getting harder to force my tongue around, but American accents are so ubiquitous that I will never have the opportunity to forget what they sound like. I can name 10+ cities in the USA, but I can't name the capitol cities of most countries. This is not a call to action, this is just a reminder: the USA is not the whole world. Other countries exist and have problems you cannot neatly map onto struggles within America. We have cultures and practices you might not understand, and that's OK. Just don't force us to conform to a very narrow view of American ideology and political theory. We aren't you. We don't have to be.
holy shit. the season 2 of kota factory hits too close. i havent even watched the whole episode but im crying.
also the colours turning back to black and white? poetic cinema. im getting cultish vibes from maheshwari.
moral of the story- give up on your dreams!

Kafka wrote “it would be better if you didn't come, since you'd only have to leave again” but our Faraz wrote “ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa, aa phir se mujhe chor ke jane ke liye aa”
this is all because we made fun of how kids on tiktok need to write shit like “k11l” and “d34d”
i think the reason i love dead poet’s society so much is just how it portrays this ideal teenage experience. getting up to mischief in the late hours of the night. a big band of friends you can mess around with. and discovering your own sense of individuality in a world where you conform or die. and then there’s this brilliant teacher who cares so much that he changes these kids lives. and it’s just beautiful.
and what’s most sad is how all this is ripped away from the characters and the viewers. in the end the merry times are but a memory. the band of friends grows and falls apart. and it shows how there’s the sense of you have to grow up and those childhood days have to be left behind.
i love it because there’s this life that i want captured on television, and it makes me sad that i can’t reach this ideal. then i feel a little better when i see that even this ideal can’t be met or sustained really. but it’s heartbreaking to think that i can’t have that. that all these brilliant things that happen just fall apart.
[and i know this isn’t really what the story is about but it’s what i see when i look at it]
existing in dec 2021 feels increasingly like you’re the last nerdy kid in dodgeball
you better watch out. you better watch out. you better watch out. YOU BETTER WATCH OUT.
