BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

NOTICE

Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman- Khaled Hosseini

To anyone who's been following this Fanfiction, I apologise. I will not be continuing it.

When I started writing it, Murtasim was  greatly written complex male lead who now is nothing but an arrogant man who continues to character assassinate his wife to anyone who will listen, all while not revealing or punishing Haya for her misdeeds. He never even bothered to tell anyone what exactly conspired between them that night.

Half of the city is his enemy yet he never bothered to think that Meerab might be in danger because of them. Nope. His first thought was that she has run away with her lover. He doesn't wish to file an FIR because of his reputation, foregoing his wife's safety.

Even if Meerab informs him of her pregnancy, will he believe her? I don't think so. It will probably be just another round of character assassination that the fandom will once again ignore in favour of his looks.

People will still curse Meerab and meme accounts will still call her "Manhoos ( listen I have no problem with harmless jokes but the way some accounts, specially some very famous ones make insensitive jokes about MR and make theories truly disgust me)," and continue to defend Murtasim by calling him broken or something. ( I have never hated the word broken this much before.)

I thought in 2023, we were past blaming heroins for the untimely death of their fathers or something but guess what? Of course, hormonal teenagers on Instagram think Meerab used her magical powers to make their precious little hero sad in black and white.

And Meerab's character gets even confusing with each passing day. I have stopped trying to make sense of her actions a very long time ago.

I'm done with this fandom as much as I'm done with this show. It's honestly full of little girls and middle aged aunties with the most horrendous case of internalised misogyny. I have seen accounts who are mad that now Meerab was getting sympathy as if Meerab was her personal enemy or something ( This can't get anymore childish then this, I'm afraid.)

Worst of all, I have seen women trying to justify the hinted MR scenes saying Meerab deserves it. That's it. I'm done.

Literally how delusional or deranged does someone has to be to defend rape??? And saying Meerab deserved it?? Gross! No girl deserves to be raped. I can't believe I have to say it out loud!

The Tere Bin fandom makes me think if all the rapists in the world were good looking, they would all collectively blame the victims! They would all ask the victims what they did to provoke the man! Because of course, a good looking can't be bad, it must be the woman, right?

I kid you not I saw people supporting Haya because she loves Murtasim...like yeah sure, she pushed a supposedly pregnant woman down the stairs, caused a horrific situation for Maryam, did black magic, lusts after a married man and what not but hey! Atleast she loves our Male lead delusionally like us! So all good lol!

Murtasim just needs to shout at Haya once a week and cry a bit and puff! Everyone will forget everything. Oh and let's not forget some epic dialogue about love. Words without action has zero value.

MPHT is actually starting to become better. So I will just continue to watch it like any sane person out there.

Also, I still have some chapters in my draft. I promise I will publish them as soon as I get some time to spell check. And that's it.

So, good bye and hope you continue to read other works in the fandom because it is full of talent.
