#aiden and rudy

[writergracethepanda]

Aiden: What the fuck? People actually tell their crushes they like them??  A Classmate: You are literally dating Aru Shah. What the hell do you do?  Rudy: He died, duh.

[At Mini and Rudy's wedding]

Rudy: Aww, Aiden, are you crying?

Aiden, weeping: I'm crying because today, you'll officially— and more importantly— legally be Mini's problem. [Pulls him into a hug]

Drew Aiden again though it's quite bad 😭👍 He is totally not admiring Aru cause she just looks fine. Character design inspiration is by @itslopez on Instagram. Do check them out :D

[hauntmemaybe]

Hi I just saw that you finished Aru Shah! What did you think of the series? (Feel free to make this really long and ramble, it’s my favorite book series so I love when people talk about it)

(also I LOVE the reference on your ask button)

MY FIRST ASK!!

ok I think the series is HILARIOUS and it’s got me thinking about it for SOOO LONG ( I think a lot ab the series I like most, so this is a sign I loved it)

And aru’s povs make it so depressing and funny at the same time and it’s sooo obvious (to me) that she had a crush on aiden since like, FOREVER and it’s really realistic how she and the others fuck up ALL THE TIME

Idk who my fav character would be but aru is such a vibe like yes be a potato sweetie

Im glad brynne didn’t get a special someone cuz to me she doesn’t need someone because she’d say something like “I’m a whole person I don’t need my ‘other half’ “

THE PLOT TWIST ABOUT ARU’S FAMILY GOT ME SO SHOCKED??? I WAS NOT expecting aru and Kara to be sisters because of their mother???? But the whole thing was just so well thought it’s amazing

This is kinda out of context but I think there’ll be another series??? Because they didn’t EXACTLY say “oh and life went on as a potato” they said there might be new quests? And I hope if said quests happen they get to meet Kara again 🥺 i know I kinda didn’t really trust her but now she lives in my heart forever with the other potatoes 🫶🏻🫶🏻

But if said second series happens I hope it’s just that and not the author just fucking up the (awesome) character development like I felt like rr did with some of his new series (hoo for example kinda screwed up Percy’s character) and that she actually keeps the characters the way they are (or change the throughout the story, not randomly)

I’m also thinking about reading other books from roshani because I’ve seen aru shah fans saying stuff might be connected? I love that idea and I kinda want to see if it’s true

Anyway, I HOPE WE GET TO SEE MORE ARUDEN AND MORE BRYNNE (she’s my silly) AND MORE EVERYONE ESPECIALLY KARA BECAUSE SHES KINDA IN A GRAY ZONE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD AND I EAT THAT SHIT UP SOOO MUCH IN BOOKS

Thanks for asking sweetie 🫶🏻

I hc Rudy as the youngest sibling (or one of the youngest) in his family. He just gives Annoying Younger Sibling™ energy. And it would explain why his parents sent him to live with Malini and Aiden, because they don't need him around to be the heir to the throne.

[sleep-can-wait]

I want Aiden and Rudy singing an acapella of 'crying in my prom dress' while twirling and sobbing in the most drop-dead fucking gorgeous gowns you've ever seen

[writergracethepanda]

Visiting Brynne in New York in December...

Rudy: Snow got me feeling some type of way.  Aiden: That's hypothermia. Rudy: Damn, the paramedics told me it was the magic of Christmas. @hazellevessque please check my math on this one im from the south

What songs the Potatoes (honorary members and Kara featured) are vibing with right now

Aru - "Mantra (Jennie)" / "Not Like Us (Kendrick Lamar)"

Aru is definitely a sucker for internet drama, so you know she's eating up "Not Like Us." She definitely enjoys how united the internet has become to laugh at Drake.

"Mantra" was added because I feel like Aru would definitely bias Jennie from Blackpink if she was a K-pop fan. "Mantra" has this very, "I'm a bad bitch, and I don't care what you have to say about it" vibe that I feel like Aru, after the entire series, definitely vibes with. The song itself was built to be an earworm, and it's something that's just meant to be danced to. Aru probably puts this song on while cleaning, which leads to her climbing onto the nearest surface to dance (which Aiden admires with a soft smile on his face).

Mini - "Box in the Ocean (Alessia Cara)"/"Your Love (Jisoo)"

"Box in the Ocean" goes into how the singer buries her emotions in a box hidden in the ocean. While I feel like Mini has definitely gotten better at handling her anxiety over the books, she would definitely still vibe with the sentiments expressed in the song: who you were in the past is still you. Also, "Box in the Ocean" has this very calm, groovy beat that I feel Mini would love.

"Your Love" has this very 2016 feel due to its calm EDM beat. The singer describes this very innocent, simple type of love. I feel like Mini, again, would just really like calmer pop songs. Plus, the song would definitely remind her of her relationship with Rudy.

Brynne - "On My Mama (Victoria Monet)"/"Noir (Sunmi)"

"On My Mama" is a very laid-back groovy song: it's something that would make anyone move their shoulders and nod their head with the beat. Brynne definitely plays this while she makes Hira and her dinner. Sometimes, she'll get really into dancing and pull Hira into it. Whatever they're doing would probably be considered the ugliest dancing in the world, but who's the world to judge what goes on in cozy kitchens.

"Noir" has similar music vibes to "On My Mama." I think Brynne would just like the chill, groovy vibes this song gives off in general. This specific subset of music is definitely something she would love to put on while cooking. Since Sunmi makes a lot of this type of music, I also head-canon Brynne to be a very big Sunmi fan.

Honorable Mentions: "28 Reasons (Seulgi)" [Brynne definitely got into this song because Hira was a Red Velvet fan, and now Brynne can't stop playing "28 Reasons."]

Rudy - "Big Dawgs (HanuMankind)"/"Rockstar (Lisa)"

"Big Dawgs" is a song Rudy loves to play to pretend he's tough. Every one of the Potatoes knows he's the biggest softie around, but they'll let him have this one. He listens to this while scouring through Otherworld shops to find Mini the perfect gift for their bi-weekly date.

"Rockstar" is similar to "Big Dawgs" in the sense that it's, at its core, a hype song. Rudy would love these types of songs because he loves to be hyped, point blank. I've always head-cannoned that Rudy and Mini get a dog together, and when they're both adults and Mini's out saving lives as a doctor/researcher, Rudy makes Alexa play "Rockstar" at full volume, dancing with their dog.

Aiden - "Von Dutch (Charli XCX)"/"Run for the Hills (Tate McRae)"

Lower the raised eyebrows: let me explain. Both of these songs are literally the definition of modern pop music. They're loud, they're fun. I firmly believe that Aiden became a professional photographer when he became older. To make some money, I think he'll often do gigs for models, so I feel like his music taste would evolve to involve these pop songs as that's what helps his models get into the mood for their photoshoots (if that makes sense. Can you tell I have no idea how the professional world of photography works?).

"Von Dutch" is a song that Aru got him into. Her amazon playlist would constantly be playing their house (because Amazon music has no ads), and after hearing "Von Dutch" once, he was hooked.

"Run for the Hills" was something he discovered after he fell in love with "It's okay, I'm okay." Sometimes, when this song plays, he'll start singing it as Aru dances. Aiden's beautiful voice mixed with Aru's awkward not-really-dancing makes for a lovely combination, if they do say so themselves.

Kara - "Hard to Love (Rose)"/ "Daisies (Katy Perry)"

Both of these songs build their base around guitar and powerful alto vocals. These are songs I think Kara would gravitate to as they're genuinely very wonderful songs, but they're tinged with a sense of melancholy I think she would appreciate.

"Hard to Love" is a song that she discovered while just casually listening to Blackpink's releases. Ever since then, her bias has been Rose.

"Daisies" is something she listens to when she's down. It's a way of reminding herself that through it all, she has grown, and she will always grow. I've always head-cannoned that if she ever reunited with the Potatoes, it would always be a while later. (Never mind that in my fic it's a few months later. We don't pay attention to inconsistencies like that.) By then, she would have learned how to build an effective support system around herself.

Honorable Mention: "City Lights (Bittermilk)" [She definitely lives in Chicago {because I love Chicago}, and whenever she does a late night drive, she puts on this song.]

Aiden and Rudy being cousins (an analysis/theory/headcanon):

Ok, one thing that's been bugging me about Aiden and Rudy being cousins is exactly how they are cousins. I'm talking maternal or paternal because it's never really been made clear.

Like we know that Aiden's maternal side consists of Malini, Uloopi, and their mother aka Aiden's grandmother. Aiden regularly calls Uloopi masi but Rudy doesn't. Which doesn't really say much considering in Indian culture you just do that with any older woman that isn't your mom or Grandma. Plus, Rudy hasn't even been outside Naga-loga often and probably doesn't know her well enough to be so formal. Same goes for Aiden's Grandmother especially since she's rarely seen anyway.

It could also be argued that Rudy's manipulation of music rocks and similar looks to Aiden shows signs of Apara blood. Not to mention he has a tendency to be sensitive and somewhat dramatic like a performer. Even bigger evidence is that Rudy always visits Malini but never Aiden's dad, but that could also be in support of Aiden's family situation. Therefore, the assumption here could be that Rudy is related to Aiden maternally.

We also know that Rudy calls himself a descendant of Uloopi but Aiden never does. And going on the assumption that the royal Naga line is paternal and knowing that Takshaka, her advisor and possibly at least a nephew, is Rudy's paternal grandfather, we could say she is Rudy's father's grandmother. Since Aiden has no relation to her, it would mean the only one left is for Rudy's mother to be Aiden's aunt. We also know that Aiden has little to no Naga characteristics and as far as we know, his dad was completely mortal while his mom is full-on Apsara. So that would leave out him being related to Rudy's father. And what do Apsaras have a tendency to be? WOMEN

It's not much of a stretch to say the latest Naga queen is an Apsara considering their primary target traditionally are men in power such as kings (not to downplay their love, I'm just saying it makes sense practically) In fact, it can even be argued that the Naga blood corrupted the Apsara blood and led to a mutation causing Rudy to be colorblind, but that's also a stretch.

Plus, it would make even more sense for Takshaka to just use this as a reason to hate Rudy when the real reason is that he hates that he's not a full-blooded Naga. Rudy's just an easier target than his siblings because he has the mutation but they don't.

So, yeah, in conclusion, it's likely that Aiden and Rudy are maternal cousins.
