PAVITR PRABHAKAR + chai
(or, the joke i’ve been waiting my whole life for)
[Image ID: five gifs of Pavitr Prabhakar sitting at a table with a cup of chai in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse:
GIF 1: Pavitr sitting at the table with an elderly South Asian woman smiling at him as she pours chai from a kettle into a cup. Pavitr narrates, "Quick break for a cup of chai with my Maya Aunty."
GIF 2: Pavitr sitting across from Miles Morales in his Spider suit, Maya Aunty's yellow scarf now draped around his neck. Miles is pouring the tea as he enthusiastically says, "I love chai tea." Pavitr, in the middle of taking a sip, double-takes and slowly asks, "What did you just say?"
GIF 3: Pavitr enunciating Miles' words as he sets his cup down between them, gesturing to it with a frustrated hand. Miles looks at him with wide eyes as he continues pouring chai into his cup. The subtitle reads, "Chai tea? Chai means tea, bro."
GIF 4: A continuation of the previous gif, Pavir gesticulating wildly as he leans in, propping his forearms on the table as he says, "You're saying tea-tea. Would I ask you for a coffee-coffee with room for cream-cream?" All the while, Miles' cup is now overflowing with tea.
GIF 5: Pavitr giving Miles a deadpan look across the table, while Miles realizes his misstep and straightens for a minute before he slumps in apology. He continues to pour the chai, now dribbling over his end of the table. The subtitle reads, "Oh! No."

I’m an OG Dropout fan (made an account the first day it dropped) and I remain a big fan to this day. But one thing that’s always bothered me is their stark lack of disability representation.
In all of d20 so far I can only think of a few PCs who are (Jan De La Vega from ASO, Zee from TUC2, Lydia Barkrock from FH, and Mira from Neverafter). I think they’ve done a pretty good job of having people at the table who are neurodivergent/have mental health issues (ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety) so the representation comes from an authentic place. But to my knowledge, there has yet to be a single player at any D20 table who has a physical disability.
Dropout seems to pride themselves on being inclusive. They’re a company who hires talent from a diverse array of backgrounds, because they understand why that’s so important. Especially because cishet white folks have been the face of Nerd/Geek/Fandom spaces for much of history, despite often not being the pioneers.
I’m someone with Cerebral Palsy who is desperate for any representation in media, let alone a thoughtful/nuanced portrayal.
Don’t get me wrong, Dropout is leagues ahead of other media companies in how much it uplifts diverse voices. But there is still plenty of room for improvement. It’s disappointing to see how little thought Dropout has put into giving people with disabilities a much-needed platform, when their brand is one of inclusivity.
just to add to the list cause i remembered while tagging, Gunnie from ASO, Rick Diggins from Tiny Heist, and Sylvester Cross from Mice & Murder

This one acharya ji is ALWAYS angry. He for sure has high blood pressure. Someone, take him to a healer... He and his little gang of pundits are creating a ruckus to prevent the peshwa from conducting the Durga Pooja. While this little side plot of teen romance between the Peshwa's son and the Acharya's daughter is going on LOL

it’s completely insane to have the parallels of buck and eddie watching the other being rolled away into a hospital — not knowing if he’ll live, not knowing if what he did was enough — while expecting/urging everyone to work past their capacity to keep him alive btw
