Chapter 1: The Fall of Sabal
I pointed the rocket launcher at Pagan Min's helicopter at the royal palace of Kirat. I took a deep breath and pulled the trigger, seeing the explosion in the sky. I felt a mix of relief and remorse. Had I made the right choice? Pagan had revealed that Lakshmana was my half-sister, the result of his involvement with Ishwari, my mother. Mohan, upon discovering the betrayal, killed Lakshmana and tried to kill my mother, but Ishwari reacted and killed him in self-defense. After that, she fled Kyrat with me. Pagan then decided to hand over Kirat to me, which awakened my desire to rule the country and honor the memory of my family. I wanted to transform it into a modern democracy. I sometimes wondered if Pagan was the only sane one in that country of madmen. I remembered his crimes and his tyranny. I knew that Pagan was not a kind leader. He dominated Kyrat with cruelty and ostentation, using his militia to intimidate the people and profiting from drug trafficking. I remembered all his evil deeds, which included torture, mass murder, betrayal, corruption, destruction, kidnapping, propaganda, slavery, prostitution and animal cruelty. He wanted to end the traditions of Kyrat and prevent the progress of the country. He deserved to be tried by the Hague Tribunal for his crimes, but there were still those who defended him. That was one of the reasons why we lived in a violent world, dominated by autocracy and corruption.
I knew that Pagan had to fall. But I didn't trust Amita, the leader of the Golden Path who dreamed of turning Kyrat into a drug empire. I made a vow to myself to never become a despot like Pagan Min and to defend Kyrat and its people. I wished that my mother and sister would feel proud. The snow of the Himalayas covered everything with its beauty and its cruelty. I thought of Bhadra, the girl I had met in this war. She was the only one I cared about in that insane country. She was like a younger sister, or the only friend. I knew she was destined to be the Tarun Matara, the reincarnation of the goddess Kira. She would be exploited by the religious fanatics of Sabal, just like my mother had been exploited by my father. I couldn't let that happen. I have to rescue her.
Ajay heard the noise of a helicopter and recognized the voice that came from it, it was Hurk: Hey, brother! Want a ride? Ajay: are you sure this helicopter is safe? It looks kind of old and rusty. Hurk: Chill out, man. This is my baby. I fixed it up. It will fly like a turbocharged eagle. Ajay: That doesn't make me very confident. Hurk: Trust me, brother. Ajay arrived at Ghale Residence with a heavy heart. He had just learned the whole truth about his father, his mother and his little sister, and the farce that was the Golden Path. One thing didn't leave Ajay's mind: Bhadra. He couldn't allow an innocent girl to suffer what his mother had suffered at the hands of his father. Ajay remembered the sad look of Bhadra when she was taken to become Tarun Matara. The sadness in her green eyes contrasted with her beauty, which had fascinated him since the day they met. She had a great admiration for his father, but if she knew the truth, it would be a great disappointment. Ajay felt a fondness for Bhadra, as if she were his sister. He wanted to protect her from all the evil that plagued Kyrat.
Suddenly, the radio rang. It was Sabal.
Ajay, Pagan is dead. - he said with a solemn voice. Brother, it's over. I can hardly believe it. Did you find Lakshmana? - Sabal asked with enthusiasm. Yes, I did, Sabal. My mother can rest in peace now. Thank you. - Ajay replied coldly. Kirat is free, brother. Thanks to you. Mohan is also resting in peace now. Come home. I'll need a right-hand man to bring Kirat back to its roots. - Sabal said and hung up. Ajay felt a wave of anger and contempt for Sabal. Right-hand man? I had done all the dirty work and now Sabal wants to use me as a puppet? I won't let Sabal turn Kirat into a theocracy. I won't let Sabal do to Bhadra what my father had done to my mother: use her as a religious and political instrument, without caring about her feelings or desires. Ajay turned off the radio angrily and left Ghale Residence. He was tired of hearing Sabal's lies.
He went to visit his neighbors Reggie and Yogi. They were lying around doing nothing as usual. What a waste of life, he thought with contempt. He wouldn't tolerate them smoking near Bhadra when she came to live with him. She deserved more respect and consideration. Reggie: Hi, neighbor. Yogi: Ah! Mr. Ghale. Well, I guess that's it, then? Reggie: No more panic and destruction?
Yogi: Are you going to retire the old rocket launcher? Reggie: Put it on the shelf, the way it was: collecting dust. Yogi: Unless… Reggie: You have unfinished business? Maybe? Loose ends to tie up? Yogi: Or people you need to kill. Reggie: That's what I said, Donald. Yogi: My name is Yogi. Ajay said goodbye coldly and crossed the small stream. He thought to himself: "Sabal, I'm not your brother. I'm not your right-hand man. I'm the king of Kyrat. And I will free my people from the oppression of you and Amita". He muttered, with hatred. He had a mission: to rescue Bhadra, the young girl he considered a sister, the young girl he promised to protect. Ajay contacted Hurk by radio and asked for one more favor: that he take him by helicopter to Jalendu, where he had to save a princess in arrived at the Jalendu Temple with the intention of finding Sabal and Bhadra, the leaders of the Golden Path. He wanted to end the conflict that plagued Kirat and free Bhadra. But what he saw left him horrified. Sabal was at the entrance of the temple, with the rebels who supported Amita, the other candidate for the leadership of the Golden Path. All tied up and on their knees. He shouted, ordering them to be executed, making an insane speech.
You chose to fight against your own people. By taking Amita's side, you decided that you would make your own legacy and spit on the Gods. Now you kneel before the Tarun Matara, asking for forgiveness. No, no. Where was all this forgiveness when you massacred your brothers and sisters? You committed crimes against the very Gods. That's why I tell you: today you chose to cut your own neck. I don't.
Bhadra was sitting on a throne, dressed in ceremonial clothes. She seemed to be in a trance, as she did not react to anything. She looked at the void with a cold look. Ajay felt a pain in his chest when he saw Bhadra in that state. He couldn't believe that Sabal had done that to her. He couldn't let Sabal continue with that madness.
Wait, what about Bhadra? — asked Ajay, interrupting Sabal.
Now she is the Tarun Matara. The sins against the Gods can only be erased with blood. Purification is necessary to move forward, brother. — answered Sabal, with a crazy look.
The Tarun matara does not object? And you? - accused Ajay, with a furious look.
Ajay, what objection will Bhadra make? Are you crazy? She is in shock. For hours I think Amita was right. You have other intentions with Bhadra. — said Sabal, with contempt.
Bhadra? She is your hostage, Sabal! You are using her as a symbol to manipulate people! She is a girl, not a goddess! — said Ajay, indignant.
You don't see what you did to her, Sabal? She is catatonic! She doesn't speak, doesn't move, doesn't feel anything! She is a shadow of what she was before! You destroyed her! — shouted Ajay, pointing to the motionless girl.
You don't understand anything, Ajay! You are nothing but a foreigner, an outsider! You don't know what's best for Kirat! You betrayed your father's will and let Amita escape. You are weak, cowardly, useless! — said Sabal, pushing Ajay away with force.
Sabal, you've gone mad! You're killing people in the name of a lie! You're betraying everything the Golden Path stands for! — said Ajay, drawing his gun.
Don't challenge me, Ajay! I am the leader of the Golden Path! I am the protector of the Tarun Matara! I am the chosen one of the Gods! — said Sabal, raising the knife.
No, Sabal. You are a tyrant, a fanatic, a murderer. And I'm going to end this once and for all. — said Ajay, shooting Sabal. When the Golden Path soldiers were going to attack Ajay, they heard howls of wolves and saw Bhadra with a bloody face. She seemed to cry tears of blood. They were horrified by the scene and knelt down, begging for forgiveness. They said that Sabal had awakened the wrath of the gods and that Ajay was the chosen one and the new leader of the Golden Path. Sabal fell to the ground, moaning in pain. Ajay ran to Bhadra and hugged her. She was cold and pale. She did not react to his touch. Her eyes were empty and her face expressionless. She seemed to be in a trance, disconnected from reality. Ajay felt sorry for her and angry at Sabal. How could Sabal do that to her?
Bhadra, it's me, Ajay. I came to free you. Let's get out of here. Let's go to Ghale Residence. There you'll be fine - Ajay said, stroking her face. He saw the fear in her green eyes, which looked lost and empty. Suddenly, she looked into his eyes and began to speak in a strange language that he did not understand. He carried her in his arms and left the temple, avoiding the corpses that Sabal had left behind. He got into his helicopter and flew as fast as he could away from that hell. When he got close to Ghale Residence, he got out of the helicopter with Bhadra in his arms. She was shaking and sobbing softly, clinging to his chest.
It's okay, Bhadra. It's okay. I'm here with you - he said, trying to comfort her.
Ajay… Ajay… - she whispered, with a weak voice.
I'm here, Bhadra. I'm here - he repeated, carrying her in his arms. he climbed all the way up to the house and found Yogi & Reggie in the living room. They were surprised to see him and even more so to see Bhadra.
Hey, man, you're back! - Yogi said, getting up from the rug.
And you brought a girl! - Reggie said, widening his eyes.
Who is she? - Yogi asked, approaching.
It's Bhadra - Ajay said, with a tense voice.
The Tarun Matara? The reincarnation of the goddess? - Reggie asked, impressed.
Yes, but she's bad
Ajay said - Sabal forced her to watch him kill people.
That's crazy! - Yogi said - What did he want with her?
I don't know, but I'm afraid to imagine - Ajay said - Do you know how to get her out of this state?
Well, we have some experience with herbs - Reggie said - Maybe we can make a tea.
Or maybe we just need to wait for her to wake up - Yogi said - She needs to rest after going through a scene of terror.
Whatever it is, I need you to take care of her - Ajay said - She's just a child. She doesn't deserve this.
Sure, man, we'll take care of her - Yogi said - You can count on us.
Thank you - Ajay said. He thought about everything that had happened since he arrived in Kyrat. In his father, in his mother, in Pagan Min, in Amita, in Sabal. He had lost everything and everyone he loved or respected. He looked at Bhadra and felt a pang of affection. She was the only person he still had some connection with. She was the only person he wanted to protect. He wondered if she would recover from the trauma she had suffered. He wondered if she would forgive him for not arriving sooner.
He was exhausted and worried. He didn't know what had happened to Bhadra while he was away and how she would react when she woke up. Ajay fell asleep without realizing it, tired of the war and violence that plagued Kirat. He dreamed of Sabal wearing the Yalung mask dragging Bhadra to the Jalendu shrine. Ajay follows him desperately, but the scenery changes to Shangri-La, the legendary Tibetan paradise. It is a magical and beautiful place, full of colors and lights. He sees a woman resembling Bhadra sitting on a throne of flowers, dressed in red and gold clothes. She is beautiful and radiant, like a goddess. She calls him by name.
Ajay… Ajay… I'm waiting for you. You finally arrived. You are an honorable man, my chosen one, my companion… - she says, with a sweet and melodious voice.
Bhadra? Is that you? - he asks, confused. She shakes her head. Ajay doesn't understand if it's yes or no.
Who are you? - Ajay asks, perplexed.
I am Kira, the mother goddess of all kirats. I thank you for saving the Tarun Matara from Sabal's bloodlust. I would forgive everyone, no matter the side; they are all my sons and daughters. - She says, with a bitter voice. She began to cry and said that she didn't want Sabal to kill her people. Ajay felt relieved to hear her words, but also anguished to know that he had caused so much suffering.
I am to blame for putting Sabal in power of the Golden Path. - He says, with a tone of remorse.
It's not your fault, Ajay. Sabal was blind by faith. You are not to blame. - She says, with a loving voice.
Ajay, I just wanted to fulfill my mother's last wish: to free the people of Kirat, honor my father's legacy and protect Bhadra. She is the only person in this madness that I still care about. I don't want for Bhadra the same fate as my mother; I want her to be happy as possible, to have a normal life. I want to see her smiling; something I rarely see. Bhadra has no reason to smile; I don't want to see children going through the nightmare that Bhadra went through. - He says, with a tone of sadness. The young goddess is touched by his answer and smiles at Ajay.
Ajay, protect Bhadra, protect Kirat. - She asks, with a loving voice. She gets up from the throne and walks up to him. She hugs him and kisses him passionately. In his ear, she whispers:
Ajay, protect Bhadra, protect Kirat. - She asks, with a loving voice. She gets up from the throne and walks up to him. She hugs him and kisses him passionately. In his ear, she whispers:
Ajay, protect me. She takes him to a tent made of silk and petals. Inside, they make love, without fear or guilt. When the scene starts to heat up, Ajay wakes up all sweaty and panting. He is confused and scared. What a strange dream… Ajay got up from the rug and looked at Bhadra, who was still sleeping deeply. He felt a mix of relief and anguish when he saw her there, so fragile and innocent. He approached her carefully and stroked her face. She opened her eyes slowly and stared at him. He saw a glint of recognition in her gaze, but soon after a cloud of confusion and fear took over her. She squeezed his hand and asked, with a trembling voice:
Where am I? Who are you? What happened to me? Ajay felt a tightness in his chest when he heard those words. He remembered everything they had been through together, how he saved her from Sabal's clutches, how he protected her from Pagan Min's soldiers, how he considered her a sister. He tried to explain, with a gentle voice: You're safe, Bhadra. I'm Ajay, your friend, your… your ally. We fought against Sabal and Pagan Min, we freed Kyrat, we… He stopped talking when he saw Bhadra's expression change. She looked at him with a mix of fear and gratitude.
You saved me from Sabal? He told me I was the Tarun Matara, the goddess of Kyrat. He forced me to see terrible things. He hurt a lot of people. She looked into Ajay's eyes and remembered everything he had done for her. She felt a wave of relief and affection for him.
You are very brave, Ajay. You are very good. She started to sob and clung to him. Ajay hugged her and tried to calm her down. He said:
It's okay, Bhadra. I'm here. You're safe with me. He smiled and stroked her hair.
Sabal is dead. I had no choice but to kill him. He was a madman, a fanatic, a murderer who deceived you, used you and hurt you. You don't have to be afraid of him anymore. You're not a goddess, Bhadra. You're a girl, a… - He says, but is interrupted by her.
A almost younger sister? Is that what you were going to say? - She asks, indignant. - Do you think I'm a child? That I don't know what I feel? - She breaks free from his embrace and faces him defiantly. - In my land, I am a woman.
She thinks of her grandmother, who at 12 was already a great hunter and took care of three children alone. How she wished she had that decision-making ability, that willpower. How she wanted to be a woman like her.
Ajay stroked her hair.
You are safe with me. I will take care of you. I will protect you. — he says, trying to calm her down. He looked into her eyes and was overcome by a strong feeling. He remembered the dream he had with the Goddess. She looked a lot like Bhadra. Was she Bhadra or Kira? He shook his head and pushed those thoughts away.
What nonsense, Ajay! She is only 14 years old! And she is like a younger sister! I would never get involved with her! — He thinks, condemning himself.
I like her. — He thinks, confessing.
I will not make the same mistake that my father made with my mother. Then he asked her to rest, because they needed to talk about their future, about the future of Kirat and about his dream of becoming king of Kirat.

Controlling the narrative - a Pagan perspective
Sooo in conjunction with my fanfic project, I’ve been falling down a rabbithole of making an indepth analysis of Pagan Min: Control. I’ve seen a few takes on the DLC that I feel are missing key points, and though I’m a bit late to the party, here’s a first draft of my thoughts. (For those reading my fic, yes, this perspective informs the way I write Pagan.)
UPDATE: Read the finished version of this on AO3!
Note: All of this is written from a death of the author perspective. This means I am not concerned with authorial intent, only about interpreting the actual textual evidence. Textual evidence here refers to anything that occurs or is depicted/said/written in Far Cry 4 and Pagan Min: Control. I will not include the comic in this analysis as I have not read it, nor any other external sources of information, even if they are ‘official’.
When I write ‘Pagan’, I mean Pagan as a whole — the man who is having the vision where he is at war with himself. I call the playable character in Control ‘PC Pagan’.
What is actually happening?
Control could either be a vision brought on by Pagan dying, or something that happens later, if he’s left alive. PC Pagan’s comment to the Tyrant that he wants people to think he’s dead (rather than boring) suggests that he is alive. Given his lifelong proximity to drugs, the vision may well be a drug-induced hallucination.
There is also evidence that Pagan is dying, or at least believes he is dying. When PC Pagan reaches the final area, where he believes his family are waiting for him, there is a voiceline where he says that this must be heaven. And, of course, stepping through a door into blinding light is a very common metaphor for passing on. (Again, this may simply be a symtom of a belief that he’s dying.)
Quick aside: Guilt (more on that later) + drug trip suggests to me that Pagan entered something of a downwards spiral after leaving Kyrat.
Pagan is an unreliable narrator.
Control is explicitly stated to take place inside Pagan’s own mind, and Pagan is an unreliable narrator. Everything that happens, every word spoken, is a manifestation of his own thoughts and feelings. What’s said by the various entities PC Pagan encounters is thus either something he believed or wished them to have thought, or his own thoughts projected onto them.
This is perhaps most strongly evidenced by Lakshmana’s presence as a young girl rather than the infant she was when she was killed.
Another clear example of this is his fractured view of Ishwari: She blames him for Lakshmana’s death, only to claim she must have been confused in the next breath — except she is also distantly screaming that she hates him. The clearest voice of Ishwari is the version of her he longs for, and beyond that first accusation that he could have saved Lakshmana, she is supportive and loving.
Even Pagan’s memories cannot be taken at face value.
Just as we cannot trust that anything that is said is actually representative of the people in his vision, we cannot assume that his memories are accurate depictions of what happened. For one, there are memories of things he presumably was not present for (i.e. Ishwari’s death).
In other words, all memories we see/hear are either what Pagan believes happened, or what he thinks ought to have happened (consciously or subconsciously). Though most of them are probably built around a kernel of truth, they are all filtered through Pagan’s perception of events; his self-aggrandisement, wishful thinking, and guilt.
The Tyrant is as much Pagan as PC Pagan is. He cannot be defeated.
The Tyrant claims that “You hate yourself, so everything in here wants you dead.” Of course, this applies to the Tyrant too: He is also Pagan, and PC Pagan wants him dead, supported (if obliquely) by Ishwari and Lakshmana. By fighting, PC Pagan is simply proving the Tyrant right: Pagan is ruthless and revels in bloodshed. “The more you kill, the stronger you’ll get. It’s the same in here as it was out there, love.”
PC Pagan calls the Tyrant a ‘personification of his flaws’, but the opposite is equally true. From the Tyrant’s perspective, it’s PC Pagan who is that personification. They just have different ideas of what ‘flaws’ mean. But in the end, both of them use a definition that is pushed on them from outside sources — Yuma, in the case of the Tyrant, and everyone else, in the case of PC Pagan.
Pagan may feel guilt, but he doesn’t feel remorse.
PC Pagan’s aim is not to change, but simply to cover up his crimes, to appear to be the person he believes could be with his family. He wants to control the narrative. This is made explicit in the bell tower mission, and in his fabricated memory of saving Ajay’s life (where he tells the Tyrant “I want people to think I’m dead, not boring.”). While this is a trait he displays in the real world as well, it’s particularly interesting that PC Pagan is concerned with the narrative even inside his own mind.
The Tyrant obviously isn’t, and also appears to be fully aware that none of it is real. PC Pagan seems more confused on the matter. Again, the bell tower mission is a good example, with PC Pagan worrying that ‘anyone could hear this’, when in fact he is the only audience. And, of course, towards the end, he says, “I can be with my family, here, in this place?”, as though he has forgotten where he is.
It seems as though PC Pagan is in fact engaged in an attempt at active self-delusion. He believes he could be happy with his family, if only he can convince himself of two things: That his family would accept him if he covers up his ‘flaws’ (the overarching mission of gathering the mask), and that he actually wants to be a faithful, loving father (the bell tower).
~~
That about wraps it up for now! I have more thoughts to share on the various characters featured in Pagan’s vision, and what they have to say about his view of himself. Fingers crossed I actually get ‘round to writing them up.

i like to think that ishwari (from the dlc specifically) looks too much like noore and that's one of the reasons pagan decided to ruin noore's life because "i need to be angry but i dont know to who" because goddamn he really made it his mission to ruin her life huh

"Long live the future king of Kyrat, Ajay Min.” May Pagan’s Light Shine Upon You All.
I started thinking a little too hard about an AU where Pagan raises Ajay in Kyrat, following this post I made, so I decided to draw a propaganda poster based on it. I have no idea how it’d work but he would probably be partially in charge of the Royal Army with Yuma - even if the idea of Ajay working with Yuma is a little *coughs* awkward. [Alternate version]

Beat the Pagan Min DLC (still need those other 2 visions from Chal Jama Monastery tho but I got 4 more mind levels to go!) Anyways...
I got from the DLC that Pagan Min had a very complicated compulsory heterosexuality moment thanks to his need to have control over things and wanting The High Quality Stuff. You know I'm serious with this cause I love headcanoning all my fave characters as bi, unless something in canon confirms strictly otherwise. The Control DLC turned out to be the case. I'm sure he did love Ishwari in a way, cause romantic feelings can be way different from your sexual preferences sometimes, but he really wanted to control someone, and that someone was considered a Goddess. So, I meaannn...
Also if he was bisexual it would have been so easy to slip some overt references in the original game and in Control. (Ex: "im batting for the other team" could be changed to "im playing for both teams", and the visions with his father he could have easily been more biphobic "fucking any man and woman you want!" You see?). Pagan Min is complicated and messy as shit and I love him so much!
As for the desire to have a family and loving Lakshmana: well of course he'd love and miss his daughter, he had those intrusive thoughts but that was still his baby. And the family thing, he just wanted something Perfect, people who love him and constantly reaffirm it, also he saw Ajay as a son fully and not just a nephew or a kid that was brought to the palace back then, he really wanted some kind of father/son bond with him despite everything being so warped and Ajay's indifference and confusion in the main game.
Anyways there's my takeaway after playing Control and sitting on it for about a day to process it all.

*NO SPOILERS, JUST MY OPINION ON THE DLC CONTROL*
(but you might wanna skip this post if you want to play the game without any influence)
I might be alone in this but I hated the dlc. I think it had a lot of inconsistencies. Like I felt it went against a lot of stuff FC4 had established. And yes you can argue that a lot of that stuff was taken from unreliable narrators, but why have a game tell a certain story if then you are gonna put out a new dlc that contradicts what the previous story told you?
I don't know I am just so disappointed so I'm choosing to ignore it.

Okay I just finished the main game for Far Cry 4 and.... wow, oh my gosh. So Mohan kills Ishwari and Pagan's child, and Pagan fell into such grief that he just completely stopped caring about anything because there was nothing else to care about after his kid was murdered? x_x Oh and Mohan also wanted to train child Ajay as a soldier for the Golden Path (which Ishwari obviously strenuously objected to), so he's down with both child soldiers and child marriage??? I feel like I need a solid 24 hours just to absorb the ending.
Hahaha I know right?! I mean, my own experience of this aspect of the story was rather, uh, underwhelming, since my first experience of the story was a compilation of Pagan's cutscenes, meaning I learned about Lakshmana before I even knew that "finding Lakshmana" (while not knowing what it was) was Ajay's primary motivator throughout the entire game. xD
Anyway I think we're supposed to take from what Pagan says (and some other clues) that he went on a bit of a murderous rampage after Lakshmana's death, and then he kinda withdrew a few years later. There's a loading screen tip saying he's been cooped up in his palace for the past decade (which is also supported by a number of NPC lines about how no one has seen him in a long time), and that still leaves a few years of him establishing his reputation as brutal in his own right. As Pagan says:
"I killed so many people for them... But then I realised: I was only using Lakshmana's death as an excuse to do whatever I wanted to do. Just as you use those ashes as an excuse to do whatever you want to do."
Which brings me to what I was alluding to in a previous post - Ajay, too, comes to Kyrat and warps it. His intentions are (probably mostly) pure, but the fact remains that he lets himself become a weapon and a figurehead in a war he knows nothing about, and had he made different choices (admittedly predominantly ones that weren't available to the player), perhaps not quite so many people would have had to die before the war ended.
What are your thoughts now that it's had time to sink in? (Oh and where did you pick up the thing about Mohan wanting to train Ajay as a child soldier? Can't remember seeing that anywhere - in his journal, he writes about wishing Ajay to grow up in a free Kyrat.)

When the Golden Path invaded the palace, Yuma saw the perfect opportunity to eliminate her romantic rival. When aiming for Ishwari she ended up making a horrible mistake that would drive Pagan into madness. To drown out her guilt over the years, she became obsessed with violence and Kyrati mythology...

Remember Back In The Day™ when we literally had ONE (1) picture of Ishwari and ONE (1) picture of Lakshmana.
Now look at us, 7 years later we get blessed by a whole ass DLC with CHARACTER MODELS and VOICE ACTORS. I don't even know what to do with myself.

Hi, I'm still not a fanartist in anyway, nor should I be considered a Far Cry fanartist but I just wanted to do that one meme with Pagan and Ishwari cause I was thinking about it.
RIP Ishwari, the strap queen.
