Hello and Thank You

Hi guys, I haven't been here on IF in a while.. but for the past few days I've had the pleasure of silently reading all your discussions, and boy did they make me so happy. I just wanted finally step out of that silent reader zone and say a hello with a warm handshake to you all. ❤️

When the show started, I never assumed I will like Adilie so much. I was actually rooting for the other team, but these two won me over and how. It's been so so long since I watched a such complicated and unapologetically flawed and selfish/selfless characters on itv. In just a short while, Adilie have managed to occupy such a big place in my heart. Imlie especially, what a sweetheart. ❤️

I also want to thank you guys (you will understand why in a second), because you lot and your posts have made me feel so much more comfortable and confident in my choices. You see, because I was smitten about Adili, I loved analysing them, making edits, dissecting their every convo and finding hidden meaning and depth. It gave me so much joy. And I used to post on other social media platforms like twitter, insta etc. But every time and everywhere I was vocal about my liking for was hounded by Malini supporters, constantly being judged for liking what I did, and honestly called some horrible horrible things. Some even went as far as saying I had no morals and I deserve a husband who would leave me just like Adi leaves Malini. Anyway, the point of me telling you all this is these comments really got to me and I even wondered I really was messed up for liking Adilie over Adini.. and if maybe I should really quit the show. because if I see it, I need to talk about it (or my feels would get the best of me). I was sick of being constantly forced to defend my choices and felt like I had no place to truly be myself. That is when I remembered that I had made IF account many many years ago. So I decided to check it out 2-3 days ago, by some luck, discovered you all. These past few days I have been DEVOURING your discussions. I am in awe with your words.. I look forward to these threads every single morning. And you don't know how DELIGHTED I am to see there are so many Adilie shippers like me who understand the complexities of the characters and appreciate the greys. Who get that it is not all black and white, and that is what makes the show so much more appealing.

I don't know, I'm just grateful to have re-found this place. I know it is just a silly tv show, and maybe I am over-reacting, but it just feels so so SOOOO good to finally be able to hype up and enjoy my pairing without constantly fearing what someone will say and being restricting my fangirling. This place feels like a safe-haven.

So that's all I wanted to say.. a hello, and a big thank you! Cheers to us and our unabashed liking for Adilie or any of our favs <3

Hey, welcome to the forum!

I'm so sorry you had to experience bullying from Malini fans. That's pretty unfortunate.

It's worth thinking that social media also exists in its own bubbles.....just because one platform has more of one type of fans does not make that the only truth. I know these days many people like to diss IF as a "negative" place😆 but I still find it the only place where you can have extensive discussions not condensed to soundbytes and quick clips like Insta/Twitter have now made the norm.

A story like Adi-Imlie cannot be condensed to a few seconds of viral moments.....there are layers upon layers that deserve to be explored.

Welcome to the forum once again! Feel free to jump in any of the threads....it's mostly a fun bunch here😆.

Welcome to the forum and nice to have you be part of the group

Hello,

Welcome to the forum. 😊

Glad to have another member in the forum. 👍🏼

Hiii! Yeah I get that feeling of being unsure of yourself with these things. Personally I know that I tend to be more on the forgiving side of things just generally, that's just who I am as a person, so seeing the way these characters are trying even if they're choices are not the best melts my heart immediately. Besides, I feel like it's so relatable to me, trying so hard to make the right choice but having no idea what it is really... these characters are not just evil and good, even if current climates bends social media users to thinking simplistically.

Strangely enough I had a similar journey to yours to get here! Except I never posted anywhere else, I just read comments and they at first seemed solely geared to Malini at the expense of Imlie (which is something I DONT understand... blame Adi all you want, but saying Imlie is getting between I cannot understand).

Excited to hearing your views and analysis and welcome to the forum 🤗

Welcome welcome welcome🤗

I could feel you dear!

As Areyaar said, this show has so much layers, other platforms cannot justify it!

It is all about what is between the line!

Even at the start we here had many arguments and disagreement, and discussion go too deep and making us two teams every time, while all of us here are Adilli shippers in core!

And of one argument one here has question my character for just Accepting that Imilie declaring that she is considering Aditya as her husband at the hospital to him! ( I think this is the incident, or maybe something else we had many arguments, but it really hurt me soo much! )

So yes this show is just the one who makes you understand ppl do mistakes, every character have many layers white, black, and so many grey shades!

You can feel it for all of them, Aditya, Imlie, Millani, Mithi, Satikham, Dev, the Ts,

You just cant fully hate them, you could understand their negativity!

So welcom welcom 😍 we are the happiest to have you here with us 🌹🥰

Welcome here 😃 i hope you have a good time here.. Don't doubt yourself just caz somebody else is telling you and mocking you down.. that is the norm people think it is easy to hide behind anonymous id's and bully.. if you know what you are doing it is all good. However I do agree it can get super exhausting happens with me too.. one can only handle it so much..

Hope you enjoy your stay here.. and are able to have a good time..😊

Rest I second with AY you can't discuss about a couple.like adi imlie on social media it just doesn't do justice to them or story caz there is so much more to talk about and I can't just put 10 tweets and be done about it... I.want to discuss the layers the complexities the consequences more in detail and that still happens here only.i haven't found any other platform where I can communicate like I can on IF no other social media can give quiete the same experience and detail discussions
