Dichotomy? yes.
In every snippet? yes.
'she said' conforms to physical senses? yes.
'He said' to the elevated? Yes.
why?
just wondering about this bias. 😊

Bias? As in for characters?
If you are talking about characters - MSK and Geet - then I won't call it as bias. Just two contrasting point of views which exists in society and makes life all more colorful. They are two sides of same coin always fighting for dominance. So without dichotomy, neither can grow.

hmm... I always thought that Geet and Maan had different shades to them and it shows but this one shot has somewhat put me in a quandary😕 because stuff that I thought Maan would say Geet did instead and stuff that I thought Geet would say, Maan said them instead half way down the page (or maybe I'm just being slow). I loved everything about this one shot because as always like your other one shots and fan fictions it provokes articulate thinking😊👏; however the only thing that I don't agree with is the line that Maan says about death because I don't think neither Maan nor Geet would share that notion about death but that's my own lowly opinion. Nonetheless, I absolutely loved the one shot and I can't wait to read more of your writing!👏👏👏👏

Nah, I get that....Just tryna say that the views of the male seem to be consistently on a higher plane and tending more towards elevated senses than the female....just a tad bit stereotypical. NOt to mention like -----@iqbalsforever said above, if they are specifically Maan and Geet, then yes the ideas seem reversed.

Excellent. 👏😃

You know while I was reading this, it didn't say anything to me about Geet n Maan. Actually, it reminded me of character's Angad n Kripa. Their faces came into my mind. Then again, Maneet always remind me of AK anyways.

I have never heard Maan n Geet say two differ things. They are two sides of same coin - absolutely ... but there's something missing here. Have to think more about it.

Or maybe I'm not thinking straight. It's late anyways. 😆

Honestly, I did not have Maan and Geet in mind when I wrote this. Actually no characters were in mind. It was just two people talking. Plain and simple.

There is a shade of Maan which is unexplored - the way he realizes things, the way he deals with it which I feel is not fully utlized on screen. From that perspective, I want Maan to say the things that he did here... which is not gonna happen :D

Maan is more matured of the two. That is something I have seen in this character. And elevated sense part? Yes, in this case again its true when compared to Geet. His realization, reactions and the way he is tuned to his own psyche is much clearer as compared to Geet. I would not say Maan is totally stereotypical (but drastically going towards that path..) but exhibits the standard alpha male tendencies.

That is why I made Maan the more submissive or toned down one when compared to Geet. "Her" lines here are more stoic, more rational and more cut throat when compared to "Him".

I have not seen AK, so no idea 😆. The writing severely lacks an emotional aspect which is intentioal. And also possible that it definitely lacks the stuff one usually sees on screen between them. To put it simply, I don't like it. 😆
