    Anytime I’m gonna go down the stairs I will be anticipating a lady in a gown having night time zoomies

    thinking about the aesthetics for which we will forever be indebted to because working-class sex workers are the first to embrace them in pakistan — that be visual, vernacular, fashion, or dance — the very clothes they wear hold a power so strong; to the extent that they create an identity around them that is explicit when elite lahoris and islamabadis and karachiites choose to look down on saturated attire and submit themselves to dullness as an indication for sophistication. this was for qandeel, for noori jehan, is for naseebo lal, for meera ji, reema ji, for manto's saugandi, and many many many more

    wanted a subtle Indian film to watch and this was just that. not really the overripe, inflated maid-house owner dynamic that of Lust Stories, and other cringy screenplays where some horny director is playing out his fantasy to portray the male protagonist as one who exploits his power over others. butttttt i still can't get over the fact that this man's deep love for Ratna came from the fact that she took care of him, which was also, literally her job?? that's all it took for him to love a woman? her ability to clean up after him??? Freudian as fuck
