I really wanna know what Mayris’ deal is, with the headphones and classical music constantly playing. Is she supposed to be neurodivergent, having to keep sounds down to due sensory issues. Given how brilliant she is and her ability to read lips and remember things on cue, they could be leaning into the whole ASD thing that media likes to do, making anyone on the spectrum like Sheldon.
But given the mystical side of the series, I wonder if there’s something more to her that’s a bit less human 🤔🤔 Like she can hear thoughts or something, so she’s constantly trying to block it out with music. She’s a rather interesting character, I hope they show more of her and explore a bit more about her. I know it’s unlikely though since we are on episode 6, meaning we only have 6 more episodes to go and there’s still a lot of other players to add to the board and backstory to explore. Makes me wish this was a cdrama, hello 36 episodes! Lol.
Also, who wants to put money now on the fact that Inspector Tam and Inspector Akk were lovers? 🤚
Just me?

If you walked into your acquaintances house and they had a painting commissioned from memory of what very clearly is your ex I would just leave because this story is no longer about you and whatever yearning is going on there has long exceeded your paygrade

For what it's worth; I will stand by you
The world can burn and crash, but not my love
Summer may end, you'd still belong to me
With care, I will take you

Aarzoo: I know that it’s hard to want something yet unable to have it... but it’s time to let go and look for other alternatives.
Mayris: But it’s to late now , Kaius is on he’s way and if I don’t pay him he might just find somebody else who will.
Aarzoo: He will fail in his task , Mrs Wendelin is like the sun: She will burn him to cinders if he tries anything. with Vere.

Song of the Day — “everything i wanted (acoustic version)” by The Mayries
I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you’d think
And if I’m being honest
It might’ve been a nightmare

Idk why anyone is surprised Mayri is doing well. People cling to romance, and unfortunately, toxic couples are stanned the most. It’s true in anime, tellywood, Hollywood, and pretty much every other big media dynasty.
If we’re specifically talking about pakistan, people lost it when the ending to Gul e Rana was changed so that Sajal didn’t end up with toxic ass Feroze in that drama. People seriously wanted her with a dude who was high key implied to have raped her. Actually, nearly every FK drama fits this narrative. Tere Bin is another shining example of what you said — as long as there’s a love story, the problems are forgiven (will never forget the diatribes people wrote excusing Murtasim’s rape before that was retconned into it being mutual).
And as I said earlier, this problem isn’t unique to pakistan, but you can’t entirely blame the audience for wanting to see hope in even the most hopeless situations. It’s how most of us are living our day to day lives, yo.
okay but is the Mayri couple actually TOXIC though?? this word is used loosely for literally anything that isn't immediately perceived as a healthy, green flag-y representation of a character/relationship. whereas the actual implications of the word need to be a little more drastic than a young, teenage couple that got married way before their age having a child. is it wrong? yeah, it's a solid topic to discuss. is it TOXIC? ummmm...no? I don't think so?
the thing in, not just Pakistan, but a functioning patriarchal society is that toxicity in marriages is not seen as anything worth breaking the relationship off. the sanctity of marriage >>>>> everything. literally ALL the problems and all forms of abuse are seen as minor "inconveniences" when happening within the relationship of marriage. and it will take a LOT of generational unlearning for people to realize that marriage as a relationship can never be more important than the individual safety of a person, physical and mental. in Pakistan toh some scholars have twisted the whole meaning of marriage from being a partnership to being a master-slave relationship by completely misinterpreting the teachings of the Prophet and the religion. because agaiinnn the country where this religion originated from and the country that is STILL the most powerful center of it IS a patriarchal society. yeah, the Prophet prohibited the burying of newborn girls but over the 14+ centuries since His time, the men of that nation have found new ways to smother and suffocate women to death without directly getting their hands dirty. if this is up your alley then look for the sources of the teachings that have shaped the mindset of our nation regarding specific gender issues and you'll get your answer ke chal kya raha hain yahan pe.
i am not trying to take this answer to another tangent. it's just that when you realize what specific mindset led to the angry outbursts at the ending of Gul e Rana or the passionate defense of Murtasim's rape comes from..they become very understandable. i don't have to support them but being part of the same society and living with these people, i get why it happens. it's great that social media now has the power to change such otherwise normally accepted wrong behavior like it did in the case of Tere Bin but it will take a LOT of time for the on-ground reality to change. iss generation mein toh hone se raha.
100% agree with your last point of audience wanting to get some respite from their already exhausting daily lives. if a fiction drama, under the wrappings of all the torture and melodrama, can give them a glimmer of hope to cling to for like 2 months in a year toh I see nothing wrong in it. at the end of the day the audience is the most blameless of the lot. they only react to what they are given. none of the audience went out on the streets DEMANDING they be given only a certain kind of fictional entertainment. the makers brought us here slowly and steadily over the course of last decade. ab audience pe kya blame daalna? grab the collars of the makers who hare raking in crores by making this kind of content.

actually I've changed my mind: it's cool to change pronouns when singing a song as long as you use it to make it gayer

starting to feel a little bad for the inspector at this point. his whole thing was basically 1) follow concrete evidence 2) do as you're told and be professional that's literally it and instantly he got
tharn [sticking his hand up]: i have psychic crime visions :)
phaya: and we're all fucking eachother :)
yai [also sticking his hand up]: not me inspector, i love my hot wife :)
mayris: [earbuds in, sick violin solo]
