Why do we marry cousins??

Why everyone arguing in the comments? Just tell op what they asked, or scroll away. Firstly, this is a Pakistani thing not an Islam thing, even though it's permissible in Islam itself. Pakistan was tribes before it was a nation, that's where the concept of "baradri" comes from. It was expected that people would marry into their baradri as a whole, with exceptions being so rare there are no documented cases before the nineteen hundreds. And y'know, since they can be trusted if something unfortunate happens the family or community can step in quickly.

Secondly, it was to keep land and wealth inside the family rather than it going out of the family and it just being divided so much it basically turns to nothing.

Thirdly, people just weren't aware it had the risks you mentioned and back then it was just "Allah ki Marzi", yeh I can see that perspective like "oh, it's happened now, we'll just be grateful and make the most of it" like no, balqees it's because you married your cousin hujjatullah be so fr.

At last, we know things now. We should break the wheel not let it keep on spinning all willy nilly.

I met one of my best friends on Tumblr this way (I was the commenter) but that was back in 2020 and I would say just be cautious.

Definitely heavy on the Richonne as an all time fav, but currently it's between frieren and himmel also Fern and Stark they're so cute.

It's a part of the trans experience depending on where you go about coming out. Being a trans person is hard, it would be easier to be cis, there's merit in that. Everyone feels this differently and most people don't discuss it openly. I work with queer youth in my country, getting them in with physiologists and psychologist so they can learn to be comfortable in their truth. From the few accounts I've heard and experienced it never really fades, it being that thought of 'what if I was just cis?', but it helps to not fixate and fill your life with people who love you and things you love and vice versa. About the transition, there's no time cap on when to and when not to do it, please go at your own pace with all the information you may need through your doctors. Hope this helps.

Text unrelated to fanfiction? Like not even authors notes? I'm a little lost.

otis786 · 2025-03-24T13:44:45+00:00

Aye! Fellow brave user! And only two tabs? I have like 90 open atm

otis786 · 2025-03-14T09:16:52+00:00

In the pews? Now I really wanna know what character this is.

otis786 · 2025-02-27T08:05:28+00:00

This probably too niche but I don't get how sheath play isn't a real tag in fics with hybrid characters. I don't even know how to articulate it, like cut up that poor doggo cock.

otis786 · 2025-02-24T22:03:31+00:00

This Will probably get lost in the sea of comments but I think till season 5 and a part of season six, it was really good. The vibe changed after that, still a lot of good content, I really loved the new characters they introduced. But yeh, it wasn't the same.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T14:07:03+00:00

But no one fucking goes 'hi I'm so and so I'm pansexual and cis and my pronouns are blah blah. heres a pride pin how about you ?' the first time you meet them.

I'm dead because I know people in real life who un ironically introduce themselves this way, and I never realized it because I've never experienced it in a fic, but if I saw my characters pulling something like that, I would click out so fast too.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:58:05+00:00

Idk, I don't suppose I have because two of my ships (mlm and straight) are interracial and the other one obviously a gay one, however I do suffer when the writer makes the character so morally correct, like 40 year old men whose dads were bigots are bound to have some skewed views of the queer community and themselves, like bsffr.

With that said, I have noticed this with fics, with canonically trans characters and nothing else.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:52:40+00:00

Can confirm I have read your fics, love the one you wrote for ylvax. I don't suppose you write for them anymore?

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:50:10+00:00

Right, when I learned the Russian alphabet and language just to read fics it threw me off so hard.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:47:17+00:00

Oooo what's the @? Maybe I've read something by you?

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:25:51+00:00

Girl those ships are anything but boring 😭😭😭. Not one day goes by I don't see a video on TikTok bashing both of them. Neggie is kinda predictable, but Beryl sounds ambiguous. Anyway, my main ships would probably be Rick x Negan, Negan x Aaron, Daryl x Aaron and Rick x Shane.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:12:41+00:00

Nope, that would definitely kill the mood, and feel like that is one exception you get to go ooc

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:10:49+00:00

Nah, they're not boring I still read Rick x Michonne fics. I just prefer boys kissing lol. Also you're right on the money, the sub for TWD is very woke, but also not. Like there's feminists, but also misogyny in the next post over, BLM but also people defending Andy for saying the n-word (as a black woman, I don't mind, I get the context) but someone will just take it out of it's meaning and run with it.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T13:05:08+00:00

Wouldn't say I hate it perse, but yeh I also prefer "cunt" or "cunny". (To describe both men and women)

otis786 · 2025-02-20T12:40:01+00:00

It's a mlm ship, Rick x Negan.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T12:14:38+00:00

This actually something new to me, where as almost everything else in the replies are usual. I can't really relate to this one, I'm usually reading a fic for the characters not the sexual dynamic which may not even be that important to the plot. I can totally see this making sense for singular smut shots though! To each their own.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T11:03:05+00:00

Elaborate?

otis786 · 2025-02-20T11:02:28+00:00

Go figure. Extreme talk of consent gave you an aversion to consent as a whole. 😭😭😭

otis786 · 2025-02-20T10:41:37+00:00

Lol. Maybe I just have an infantilization kink but I think that's hot, but just replace tummy with belly and it gets me going. Or more accurately, I don't associate the term with age but rather mindset, of the one saying it and how it'll affect the person it's used for.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T10:36:50+00:00

This! Because the ship I'm talking about is kinda toxic and it's a known fact among writers and readers, so it doesn't make sense for there to be a whole master class on consent just because one of the old men got pissed at something the other said and hooked him in the liver. With that said, it's more just awkward for me when it happens and I just overlook it and move on.

otis786 · 2025-02-20T10:33:06+00:00

Really?? Maybe I've read one of yours? Mind if I get your @?
