Tina .. First of all ... My warm special welcome hugs :P <3 ( why .. Coz I know U love my hugs ) .. I don't know if am the right person to talk about Shameless <3 I haven't been among the early readers .. I was not even an active reader ... I used to read all updates but I never took time to give you the long comments that I wanted to give ... I would say we met coz of Shameless but Mind Games brought us close to each other but that aside ... Even if I look at all your works ... Shameless is your best work till date ... Its a level above everything else U have written which is why Sim and I always tell that suspense is your comfort zone ... Even more than romance !!!
Arshi in Shameless ... I don't think words can do justice if I try to explain what it is ... I would say to those who haven't read SL ... To know it .. You have to read it ... A review by me or by any of SL readers can never fully grasp the intensity of the story !!!
Arshi in SL ... Their Love ... Passion ... Need ... Care ... Desire ... Conflicts ... Fights ... Hate ... So many emotions they fought and tussled with ... And yet nothing can beat or even come close to the magic they create !!!
Evil surrounded them ... The villains in SL ... They are by far the most fearsome dark characters in your stories ... Pure evil unleashed with not an iota of mercy ... Anjali .. Natasha ... But more than anyone ... Its him whose name I wouldn't dare to utter ... Eternally feared ... The blood of Rainas at its evil best !!!
Psychotically deranged ... The mere mention of his names gave me creeps ... The last few updates where his mother comes to tell their story ... Even when we knew that evil had been dealt with ... Even then his name gave me creeps ... A vividly dark nightmare he is !!!
Aman ... Another character whom I fell in love with ... Tina no one has ever written Aman the way you did in SL !!! The last few updates ... My heart went out to him ... I loved him absolutely <3
Now coming to our love birds <3
Khushi ... Strong .. Fiery ... Vivacious yet Soft and Timid ... So utterly broken and ravaged she was ... Surrounded by evil from all sides that kept Arnav away from her ... She was enveloped in hate ... Yet get her heart always loved Arnav !!!
And when they eventually became one forever ... Past all their MUs .. The love that burst forth was all encompassing .. Almost dreamlike in its quality yet so passionately real <3
And the our Arnav ... Fated tonbate the woman he was supposed to love thanx to the evil in his family ... Hounded by evil wannabes .. Yet when love and loyalty were revealed ... When truth became clear as crystals ... He shielded her in his arms !!!
Arnav in SL ... He is always going to be special .. Special isn't enough ... He is too special to be described !!!
His love passion protectiveness and possessiveness for Khushi ... His fear of losing her ... I still remember how tensed the finale updates of SL made me ... It was crazy !!! I still remember one of the update titles .. It was "the cave" if am not wrong .. Apologies if am mistaken.
Those were crazy days ... I still remember .. SL finale collided with a volume of MG I guess and you were lost on which one to update and I remember you asking me which one I want ... And I remember telling you that MG will be my choice but that I would be fine with either !! ;)
We had so much fun Tina ... Specially the update of SL before its epilogue ... It was crazy .. My hands used to shiver while I read them !!!
Sigh ... Ill always cherish the beautiful days we spend obsessing over shameless ... What I want to tell you is that ... Its that work of yours ... That single piece of magic more than any other for which you will always be remembered .. That one story on Arhi which proved your calibre and talent ad a writer and established you as one of the best writers on our forum ... Best writer on Arshi <3
I can go on and on Tina ... Never stop ... But I guess I have to !!!
We are waiting for SL to come out so that new readers can experience the thrill of a romantic psychological thriller like never before ... An experience that can even beat the likes of Sydney Sheldon !!! And we old readers ..we want to feel the thrill again ... Blood racing ...hearts beating ... Fingers shaking ... The very air in our rooms turning cold !!!
well that's what I want to tell you to put it in a nutshell .. I dont know if I have said all the right things .. When I told bacchi that I will write a special something for shameless .. I didnt know for sure if I would be able to atleast give those who dont know SL even a small idea as to what it means to us .. I still don't know if I have done a good job ... All I can say is that Shameless is an epic cult classic by Tina which no one if they can avoid it should ever miss <3
Love U Tina and a special shoutout yo every single person who was part of its magical journey !!! <3
Girls u have done a fan jobw ith the thread ... mighty special hugs to all of you for this one !! 🤗
let the party rage on !! ❤️
