Sorry if this is offensive, but is Desi a slur? Because someone I know (she’s Indian) said that for some, they don’t like being called Desi because it’s derogatory in a way, does the word Desi have different meanings in different cultures? Cause I know a lot of people in the US who use this label positively
No worries, not an offensive question.
I don’t take it as offensive but then I barely ever hear it from people who aren’t desi themselves so I’ve never even really had the opportunity to see how it feels from outsiders.
I don’t know of any other meaning for it than to refer to people from the subcontinent.
Maybe it’s like Paki, which while in Pakistan, we used frequently, but there was the furor over Bush using it, and also apparently Brits use it in a very negative way. So…you know, that’s changed. I guess it’s like anything, be careful and don’t use it for people who don’t like it.

For that anon who asked about Mariah & Tessa, there are newer scenes of them, basically Tessa said she needed inspiration to write her song and she looked at Mariah, and Mariah went “don’t look at me” then she apologized for flirting with Mariah but in the same breathe, she stated how sweet Mariah was, and she looked amazing, then Mariah had a gay panic
Mariah had a gay panic from all that compliments, so she made an excuse about having to pick up her dry cleaning so she won’t have to be naked in her show, she went “can you imagine that” and tessa literally looked up as if she was trying to imagine Mariah naked lmaooo at this point, Tessa is not even trying to be subtle
Oooh, well, interesting developments. Thanks! And this is my cue to catch up on the downloading.

Can someone make chocolate maker AUs for Kana? Like Rana is working as a chocolate maker and Kate is her regular customer, but Kate is not really a big fan of chocolate, she’s just gay for Rana and everytime Kate went on vacations, she always brought back different kinds of chocolate for Rana
Aw, but that would be the most canon Kate thing to do ever. All earnest and helpful but also flirtatious. I mean, can we ever forget
