[ ID: Digitally drawn art of a prince coming upon a princess. The prince gasps and blushes as she touches the princess’s pink bed laden with red roses and their petals. The princess is in deep sleep with her hands folded.

The background is a lush green forest with a rose and a yellow flower visible. Six worried gnomes with identical light brown skin and a red triangle cap and shirt worriedly gather around the pair.

The picture below the main pic shows their reference pictures, with color palletes, uncolored version, and a headshot sketch.

The Princess stands looking surprised. The Princess is a thin, light skinned person with medium length ruffled black hair. She has black eyes and wears red eyeshadow and lipstick. She wears a sari blouse with gold highlight bands that have semi circles on top, and the same kind of pattern for the bottom long dress. A transparent red shawl with yellow highlights loosely covers her. She wears a red dot bindi and a simple nath. She has gold crescent earrings and a ear piercing on the right. Her gold necklace band has a chain below it with circles and a big red crescent. She also wears red and yellow bangles with red nailpolish.

The Prince stands looking forward confidently, hands on hips. The Prince is a thin, dark brown skinned person with straight, fluffing a bit above her long braid, dark brown hair. She has brown eyes and wears green eyeshadow and lipstick. She wears a deep green salwar kameez with teal and yellow highlights, and a butter-yellow shawl with green highlights. She has brown shoes with green soles and a design with a green gem in the centre that has golden yellow lines surrounding it. She wears a gold maang tikka with green gems, it has a center piece like a sun with a big jewel at the bottom and chains going top, left and right around her head. She has diamond shaped earrings with gems set in centre, and smaller ones at bottom with gold tassels inbetween. Her gold necklace band has semi-circle patterns and below it, chains connecting with circle gems. There is a small diamond that has a green circle gem below it in the centre of the chains. end ID]

கற்பு/Kaṟpu (Chastity) Chastity is generally defined as the act of abstaining from extramarital or all sorts of intercourse. My views on ‘Karpu’, have been heavily influenced by the works of Periyar. In his 1942 book பெண் ஏன் அடிமையானாள்? (why were women enslaved?) Periyar tears down every social hindrance and patriarchal norm that oppresses and enslaves women. The first two essays discuss chastity and how it became a tool to oppress and control women. According to him, the word karpu has the word root ‘kal’ (to learn). If we look at it in this context, “karpenappaduvadhu solthitambamai” would simply mean ‘living up to one's words’, which contains concepts of integrity and truth. However, over the years the word karpu has been used to indicate ‘Magalir Nirai’ (virtues of women). There is no evidence to prove that the word karpu only applies to women. In the English language Chastity simply means ‘virginity’ or ‘purity’. Within this framework, the word can be applied to all genders. In Sanskrit, chastity is identified as ‘pativrata’ (loyal wifehood) and this is where the word chastity becomes a sexist term. He also criticizes the works of Thiruvalluvar as being sexist (chapters 6 & 91) and questions if women themselves had written Thirukural or other epics, they would have portrayed such sexist ideas. Chastity is an age-old toxic tradition that is still justified and glorified across different cultures. The concept of chastity has been aggrandized and a woman's worth and her character questioned if she chooses to no longer be “chaste”. Calling female bodies “pure” and “valuable” only commodifies them and thus, dehumanises them. It, for centuries, has stripped them of their expressive and sexual agency, even criminalise it. Forced chastity continues to be one of the biggest tools of oppression in modern society. While chastity can be a virtue, it must always be an independent decision irrespective of gender and not a social standard. P.S. you guessed it, they’re gay and they’re married😙✌🏽✨. #leanderscribbles#tamil#தமிழ்#tamilartist#tamilart#tamilculture#feminism#patriarchy#purityculture#gay#queer#lesbian#wlw#bisexual https://www.instagram.com/p/ChgvB5OBinF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you have come like the rain. I will be the sea

[snegithiye]

It is as simple as this – The dough clinging, sticky, to my fingers, The smell of the jasmine in your hair, Talcum powder on the carrom board. There are ribbons in your hair That I didn’t tie, Because under my fingernails Is the neem paste from the Grinding stone. And your laugh makes me Feel the same way as the new moon does, And I want to feed you the food My mother makes for the gods, And this is blasphemy But your hair against my pillow makes me forget that.

TAMIL (DESI) WLW INDIE MV

[booasaur]

K Devery was also in a really cute movie called 'this place' that just premiered at TIFF, the acting of some of the side characters was a little awkward along with the script (very much a first feature film) but I liked it a lot. She plays an Iranian - Kanienʼkehá꞉ka student who goes to Toronto to learn more about her father, and meets a Tamil girl in a laundromat which kicks off a cute love story. It's also very much about the city and identity and family and trauma, I was pleasantly surprised and charmed by it. No idea if it's getting picked up by a streaming site or a release, but if it does you should definitely check it out!

Oh, wow, you were able to watch it?? Nice! I was only able to see it advertised on Twitter, it's actually what I was thinking of when I said multiple wlw roles, since I could only remember The Order otherwise. She's already so prolific, though, I might have missed some.

And yeah, I was reading that summary and thinking, those are not character backgrounds you see often! I do like that Canada is willing to go with these diverse actors and stories pretty regularly. I hope I get a chance to watch for sure, thanks for the added info and rec!
