Quick Thing From Episode 5

crawls in on my hands and knees indchu is so everything to me. it’s so tragic romance, it has so many themes that touch on colonialism, agency, fate, power etc etc. They’re friends to enemies to friends to enemies and back again and one of the things that drives me really insane was how England used India to grow opium to poison China and deployed Indian soldiers to fight for the British against the Chinese in the Opium wars, but simultaneously, that long history of anti colonialism and pan asian collaboration between Indian and Chinese scholars during the 20th century before independence finally, finally came and the promise of a new world order and the Non aligned movement they could enjoy *together*, before 1962 happened and that hope of what they had before, before the europeans and the modern era, crumbled to dust. i’m so normal about then

homie, you managed to fill my heart with joy, sadness, dread, joy again, and agony and I thank you for it. their history is so unmatched by anything I've ever heard of.

oh to picture their closeness before colonialism, when it was just them two.

OH, to think of how they have lived so near one another longer than any other personification could, and to have it all change in such a short amount of time, that beautiful romance now just a husk of what it once was... and everyone walks by them not having a clue... it's only a pain and sadness only they understand, only they experience... I think I need a break

gentlemen, what if I proposed a cheesy bratva au... but with dames??!!!! in the 80s??!!!!

look, I know the mafia/mobster au is popular and it's all been done before but where are the women!!!!!

no seriously, I'm thinking of lez rusame in 1987 los angeles. amelia is a dancer in vegas and she travels to la to audition for acting roles. anya is a bratva leader who married a mob leader in order to have authority within the organization.

they meet at a party in hollywood that gets shot up because they're targeting anya but amelia doesn't know this. anya is the only one that gets severely injured so amelia drives her to the hospital because the cops wouldn't make it on time. she drops her off that the hospital until her family gets there and calls it a day. weeks later, anya looks for her to thank her and ultimately tracks her down in las vegas and things blossom from there.

I'm thinking anya keeps it hidden from amelia on what she really does and tries giving her anything she wants. since she wants to be an actress, she probably ends up pulling strings for her to land a good acting gig.

still working out the kinks but dammit, i need mafia women!!!
