#kalajan

the only reason wolfgang was jealous of rajan at first was because he thought kala HAD to choose. he thought it was him or rajan, period. THAT’S what pissed him off, that’s why it angered him to hear kala speak of rajan in a good light or to see them dancing etc. etc. NOT because he had anything against rajan beyond that. it stemmed from feeling threatened that this man might actually be not so bad and kala would choose him and abandon wolfgang.

but then something wonderful happened... kala realized she didn’t have to choose jack shit! why should she? why should either of these wonderful, amazing, kind, generous men that deserve the world HAVE to be hurt?? so she was a mf QUEEN and proposed the idea. and suddenly, all that hostility wolfgang felt for rajan fizzled away, because he was no longer perceived as a threat that could take kala away from him. and wolfgang could finally appreciate rajan for the wonderful human being that we always knew he was. as a matter of fact, we can see little instances throughout s2 that there is chemistry between wolfgang and rajan even BEFORE they meet. like wolfgang teaching rajan how to use a gun through kala (and lowkey finding it cute AF how clueless yet eager rajan is to learn) or rajan accidentally kissing wolfgang through kala and wolfgang smirking like “huh...you know that didn’t feel half bad..”.

so what i’m very confused by is all these people WANTING for rajan to get hurt?? like why y’all so thirsty to see a man that was made out to be GOOD and PURE from the very beginning of the show burn?? I would get the outrage if in s1 he was made out to be this fucking abusive prick or something and suddenly in s2 kala chose both. THAT would make no sense. But from the beginning, rajan was kind and warm to kala. he really wanted nothing more than to make kala happy and treat her like a queen. he not only subverted the “controlling conservative indian husband” trope, he fucking DESTROYED it. he said that he didn’t want kala to quit her job or abandon her passions just because they would be getting married because that was part of what made him love her so much. he was patient when she wouldn’t have sex with him after getting married, never becoming angry with her or making her feel guilty for it. and are we forgetting how on fucking board he was when kala was on the run and told him she was a sense8? he was like “ok. give me that gun. i don’t know how to use it but give me that gun cause if this is what you need, it’s gonna happen” like we would ALL be happy to have a husband like rajan folks, or just even a friend.

If I said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: kalagang was love at first sight. kalajan was slowburn. the one thing in common they have: they’re both still love. so kalagang shippers stop whining please? your ship is alive and well. as a matter of fact, better than even because all that confusion and pain kala was enduring is finally gone with the goddamn wind and she is living her best life with her husband and boyfriend.
