#also anushka is SO pretty

[faillen]

rewatching ladies vs ricky bahl over a decade after I first saw it and man. this was where my love of heists came from, huh?

[anotherfanaccount]

Rab ne bana di Jodi was such a beautiful lovely film and people always bash it for being illogical and that hurts me.

I also didn't recognise srk with that moustache and getup. Now I can't see anyone else.

And Anushka was divinely pretty in that movie. So serene.

The entire movie was so aesthetically pleasing. Idk what Adi Chopra did with Befikre that it flopped that bad but RNBDJ was perfect.

[ravenbloodshot]

jesus I just read your reading on Virat Kohli and oh my god, as somebody who's seen that man literally my whole life you were AMAZING. I think I can confirm a couple of your points even, yes from what I know his wife, Anushka (who's also an amazing Bollywood actress), her parents stay with them. They together just had their second child, and the thing with cricket in India is that they worship the cricketers and kiss the ground they walk on. But at the same time the moment they lost they'd dragged through the mud, I think that's why he's that much more protective of his family, given that they've always been easy targets. Also I think I get your point of attention and fans, because he has a HUGE fan following so I think that obviously rubs on. He does charity a lot too. He lost his father very early in life but still held on and genuinely talks of him with a lot of respect. About politics, I'm not too sure because of course he's a public figure and has to check whatever he speaks of, but I won't lie, all this time I've seen him he does look like a very opinionated guy. ALL IN ALL, you were amazing with this reading, like literally bang on✨✨🙇🏻‍♀️

Thank you... I'm glad it came out well. Some things I was confused by during the reading, probably bc of cultural differences and my lack of knowledge on cricket.

I low-key feel like his energy was being patient with me, thankfully. But overall, he seems like a pretty good guy.

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Heyyyy! How're you doing? I hope you're doing good! I was wondering if I could I please get a matchup?

Fandom - Bungo Stray Dogs and Genshin Impact

Name - Anushka

Pronouns - she/her

Sexuality - bisexual

Zodiac/MBTI - cancer, INFP - T

Appearance - black hair till just below my shoulders (its kinda flat ngl), brown eyes, 5'0 (152 cm) , pale skin

Personality - I get along well with people usually, its just that I am terrifiied of initiating conversations and confrontation. However if people approach me I'd say I'm pretty easy to get along with. I do get shy and awkward but I'm trying to get more sociable. I'm a pretty helpful person (mainly because I'm terrified of people disliking me) I'll be honest I can be somewhat of a pushover. I also am a good listener, I may not be able to give good advice but if you want someone to just listen to you while you vent I'm the girl for the job!

Likes and Dislikes - I love chocolates just love them. Actually I have a huge sweet tooth. I really dislike snails, frogs and toads for some reason (I always have) Im not a big fan of deep oceans or dark places.

Hobbies - this may not count as a hobby? But I have been doing taekwondo for 9 years now and recently recieved my black belt. It's what I am most passionate about.

Hi Anushka! Thank you for your request! I hope you like your matchups!

In Bungo Stray Dogs, I match you with...

Sweet boy! In more ways than one. He's also a fan of sweet stuff. He'd love to go on café dates with you, ordering both of your favourite snacks.

Amazed at your taekwondo abilities! He thinks it's very cool, especially if you don't have any powers. It makes him feel better about your ability to protect yourself.

Loves being able to talk to you. He's never really been bale to talk to anyone about his issues so having someone he cares about that's willing to lend an ear? He's never felt so loved!

Also more than willing to listen to anything you want to talk about. He wants you to feel as supported as he feels.

In Genshin Impact, I match you with...

Heizou is a pretty outgoing person but he's also very supportive of you and your more quiet tendencies.

Loves training with you! He knows martial arts so even if it's not the same as your taekwondo skills, he'd love to train together. It gives him more motivation to work hard.

Heizou also likes taking breaks from his cases to take walks around Inazuma with you. He'll stop at a food stand and pick up some sweet treats to have while you walk around.

Enjoys talking through his cases with you. Sometimes he just needs to say things aloud for him to make case-cracking connections.

Also willing to lend you an ear if you need to talk. He's a detective you know. If you've got a problem that needs solving, he's the person to talk to!

Happy Birthday Anushka!

Baahubali 2 (2017)

[holly-mckenzie]

Nithya (Anushka Shetty) works a boring desk job at her Agency. One day, while at work, Nithya accidentally uncovers a conspiracy involving very important and dangerous people. She finds herself thrown into a very treacherous game of cat and mouse, not knowing who to trust. 

When the Agency learns of Nithya’s situation they are left with no choice but to send someone in to monitor the situation and make sure it doesn’t escalate dangerously. Enter Special Agent Radha (Nayanthara).

Agent Radha is exasperated when she learns she is assigned as a glorified babysitter to a woman who doesn’t know what she is dealing with. However, after meeting Nithya, Radha quickly learns that Nithya isn’t all that she seems. Nithya isn’t the “loose punne” that everyone makes her out to be, she definitely doesn’t need a bodyguard and is capable of looking after herself, but most importantly there is truth in the information she uncovered.  

The women will have to work together, go undercover, and trust each other if they want to succeed in this mission.

[vyinter]

Do you know of any other films with vengeful / manic (i mean that in the best possible way) supernatural female character with the same vibe as Navagalli. Kind of niche, but I'm obsessed with the concept

I get what ur trying to mean but tbh Nagavelli is a one of a kind character and it's hard to find movies like that

In malayalam, I think Vellinakshatram is the only other movie I can think of which has so much screen time for the vengeful spirit but it's more about the little ghost girl.

manichitrathazhu also has tamil and hindi remakes played by different actress in case you didn't know

there's the iconic song Puthumazhayayi from Akashaganga

tbh I haven't seen many movies past 2016 but I've heard Kinavalli, Pranaa, Athiran, Varathan and Chathur mukham are good

In bollywood movies tho, maybe Stree and Bulbbul would fit in the category ur looking for

pretty sure characters like that are a lot more common in tamil or telugu movies (I think there's movies with anushka shetty and nayanthara) but I haven't seen those

And since I also watch a lot of kdramas I'd say there are scenes in where the female character goes unhinged for revenge like in Hotel del Luna, or sexily possesed as in Tale of a Gumiho, or just straight up badass like in Kingdom: Ashin of the north, or with just the aesthetics as in Sell Your Haunted House.

About Anushka

Heyyyy, I'm already a SHIELD employee but wanted to tell people about me so I'm using the application form-

Agent Name: Anushka.

Position: I am a lab assistant, weapon designer and suit designer! I help Mr Stark and Mr Banner out with those. I'm also a part time hacker, although SHIELD generally doesn't like me hacking because I always get into their system.

Languages: I speak English, Hindi, Italian and Russian fluently! So that's 4.

Past Experience: Lol none, I was a student and I still am. So this is technically my first job, if you can even call it that. I'm on the "Stark internship".

Special Skills: So I am pretty social, and get along with anyone, if you see me in the hallways feel free to say hi! I'm really good with chemistry and physics which is really useful in the lab and also while designing weapons and suits.

Reason for joining: Mr Stark offered me a Stark internship and when I finally got here, turns out it wasn't an internship at all. SHIELD wanted to recruit me.

Interesting facts: The real reason Mr Stark managed to get the infinity stones away from Thanos is because I was distracting the giant purple grape with fortnite dances.

an ode to maara/bommi

[soorarai pottru spoilers]

so i’ve watched it and i LOOOVE it, easily in my top elite list of fav suriya films. there’re many things i love about it; maara’s persona and characterisation, his relationships with the people around him, the suffocating elitist atmosphere of the film, the music, visuals,

but my mind keeps coming back to this specific relationship and it’s my fav aspect of the movie. one that i’m not alone in echoing cos i’ve seen maaany people say likewise. i’d like to gush about them.

maara and bommi were just.. SOOO GOOD together???? i have a very small list of suriya romances i actually care about onscreen and this easily skyrocketed up. cos most of the time, it’s either i really like the heroine but the romance in the film isn’t that great/gets little scope (e.g. ngk, where i like sai pallavi but come on their marriage was trash cos ngk is a trash cheating and manipulative fuckboi, or anushka in singam, which is fine i guess but the third film soured me on all the characters), or it’s a case of me really loving the romance itself but i’m not having loads of feelings about whoever is paired up with him (e.g. ayutha ezhuthu, which is an all time favourite suriya romance highlight on screen and it was fantastic, but esha deol’s character was not at all a standout character on her own even if i enjoyed watching them together).

so there’re many a times the problem for me where either the romance doesn’t work, or the woman opposite him is not fleshed out enough. in comes soorarai pottru and i was DELIGHTED with their individual characterisations and their relationship dynamic cos finally here u have a romance depicted on screen where they’re both essentially treated as equals by the narrative even if the story is naturally centred on maara completely because the film is about him.

bommi is her own person and it’s established immediately the moment they meet, which is the exact reason why maara falls for her in the first place despite her roasting him all the time and after that too. she stands on her own, doesn’t need ~a man~ to help elevate her or achieve what she sets out to do. and she does all this without the help of the protagonist. her character is not dependent on maara in the slightest. she’s easily more successful than maara for the entire film until the end, and her personality isn’t overshadowed by her husband cos she pretty much has her own shit to run and holds her own opposite him. even when maara initially gets his dream off the ground, bommi isn’t relegated to a lower bar within the context of the film where her only role is to support him, but she works at expanding her own business/franchise and meets maara as a respectable equal in his venture as a food vendor, which even maara is surprised by but pleased about. she outright meets him in their shared field of interests and expertise, and maara never once treats her any less or jokes about her proposal.

and of course whenever they came together..... i gotta say, it was pretty hot lol. their emotional scenes had A LOT of weight. their physical scenes were certainly sexy and hot i could def watch them kick it up a notch. i don’t really find suriya has much chemistry with many of the heroines he’s paired up with but somehow he seemed comfortable with aparna enough to do loads of sexy staring, gazing, looking sexual, etc, and actually looked good playing a character who was not just in love with his wife, but who also was physically attracted to her, which is what completely sells the relationship and makes it look organic on screen. it helped that the visuals/lyrics depict him as more submissive in their love too (i thought both veyyon silli and kaattu payale had pretty obvious more sub vibes on behalf of the man, or the more serious bit where he comes back home exhausted and seeks comfort), it really works very well. i adored their scenes and it always works for me when suriya plays more subby characters in his romance because....... because. interests. *coughs* he is Good Boi (tm). he is Sub (tm). plus the physicality of maara/bommi shown is not only sexual, but they had softer moments too which made it all the more endearing. more than once, maara hugs her for solace or when he’s distressed and it’s very sweet and gentle, or the little quick scenes where he puts his hand on bommi’s head. those were all very cute moments and stays with u even though it’s short. it was a lovely sight to see in films where your usual hero/heroine barely even touch each other, or when they do, have no vibes or connect at all, while the physicality here is both sexual and also paired with emotional influence.

the only thing i really had an issue with is the lack of a proper resolution or dialogue after their big fight. i know some people have pointed out the fight itself was not something they liked because he hit her, but i didn’t have an problem with that tbh. it was a natural progression of maara’s character as he was steadily failing repeatedly, getting steadily angrier as he struggled to control it, and thinking she called him a loser was the snap. it worked quite well imo because the narrative also establishes pretty fast he regrets what he did and he immediately goes to look for her, finds her gone, and spends the next how many hours searching everywhere while looking very upset. so i don’t view it as a glorification or justification of his action since we are shown he knows he fucked up. but that being said, it was never mouthed explicitly. i felt their reunion was too quick and too easy and i would’ve liked an explicit line from bommi calling him out on that, and maara explicitly apologising for it and saying openly he messed up big time with her. that was the only part about the relationship i was disappointed by and i wish it was worked in better cos i don’t require a whole conversation or exposition dump, but even a few extra lines would have been nice in the scene he finds her again and runs to once again seek wordless comfort and apology.

>>> ETA: HE DOES NOT HIT HER. i’m adding this lil para here cos i’m uncomf with how many notes this post got spreading this misinfo i wrote myself which i’m wrong about. my first watch i did not catch it and thought nothing of it, but then i saw people saying he did and was talking about it and when i rewatched it, i agreed. but now, after multiple watches, i want to note i’m back to my initial instinct, which is that he doesn’t. maara pushes her by her chin/throat, and he then smacks the plate of food bommi has hard. it’s obvious when u pay attention to the speed and angle the plate flies off to the left, as well as the sound of the metal clang. the only explanation is maara slapping that away and not bommi flinging it. i do urge people to not continue spreading it without fact checking at least, considering sudha in an interview herself had a convo with someone and she agreed with the use of the word ‘’restrained’’ in how maara reacted during the fight, which wouldn’t make sense if he outright slapped her. this also makes it in character for bommi, who doesn’t seem to be the type of person in the narrative who would have just taken that with no fall out after.

SO YEAH despite this one thing, i really, reeeeally loved this relationship and romance and individual characterisations that had their own journey and arc but also were tied down to the same path that they don’t drift away within the frame of their movie and their own goals. this was a married couple shown right with individual personalities and ambitions, and not a woman who was fused to the hero of the movie and only there to meet the commercial requirement of a love track in a film. plus of course uhhh they were really hot together. i’ve mentioned that, right.

cos they were hot

and they should have made out for me

and i would have liked to witness more of them being any kind of physical since suriya and aparna were really nice to look at. O_O

[shamelesslypoetic]

Demolition Lovers

Summary: Remus is honestly kinda scary, but also kinda cute. So in an attempt to defy all the toxic restrictions placed on him throughout his life, the ever anxious perpetually terrified Virgil strides right up to this real life Disney villian and gets his number.

Wordcount: 964

Pairings: Dukexiety

Warnings: Past child abuse (only one line), Virge is a bit spooked at first and there's referencing to the devil's tango plus a relationship that would be considered vaguely unhealthy by normal standards. But it's them and they're working on it.

-----------------

A young man clad in black entered a coffee shop, hands shaking, the hoodie slung over his head keeping rain and eye contact alike away from him. Narrowing further in on a dark smudge across a wish-wash backdrop, the chinkling ring of a bell guided Virgil Subti into the nearest warm building as he managed to evade the downpour outside. Might as well have a cuppa coffee too. 

Finally safe, he allowed himself a sigh of relief, only for it to lodge back, strong enough it caused his lungs to spasm. Virgil had spent his whole life being afraid. So it was safe to say that when he met Remus’ eye across the crowded Starbucks that first time, jumping out of his skin waged itself a reasonable reaction against that murky stare. 

An undue overwhelming desire for his mother’s curry overtook him as he stepped further into the aromatics of coffee. He didn’t miss her, he didn’t miss wooden spoons on his face or an insistent screaming telling him who to be but he didn’t know what to do without her. Even after all these years. Anushka would tell him to look away, angle his eyes downwards, keep quiet and hide behind the long curtain of hair he’d long since gotten rid of. He couldn’t even call her ‘maan’ anymore. She wouldn’t have recognized him anyway and he was better for it. 

For once without thinking, Virgil strode right towards the lip-pierced, tattooed, skull-shirted mass of dark skin and even darker eyes behind the counter, line of sight falling to an abandoned coffee cup. “Is this someone’s order?”

Remus, as his name tag had supplied, gave a slow lazy grin like the Cheshire cat’s. Virgil could swear he saw hints of blood on those pointed teeth, glinting in the shop’s lights, promising threats. “Not if you’re the one who’s asking, emocake. I can whip another one right up.”

Get up get up get up get up!

Virgil ignored the mantra in his brain even as it sang on.

Run away run away run away!

As he busied himself with fixing a new coffee, Remus’ voice held the air with a rasp, high-pitched and grating to hear. “Come here often?”

“I haven’t decided yet,” Virgil paused for effect, taking a sip of bitterly cold brew as he crossed his legs on the rolling chair. “That depends on if you come here often.”

Remus cackled and it resounded in Virgil’s ribs, loud and unabashed, something oddly fascinating in the way it resembled a Disney villain’s laugh. Virgil smiled, another knot in his shoulders loosening.  

“I myself just recently moved from home.” He attempted a laugh in return, with great emphasis on his attempt. The wheezed whistle gurgling out of his chest bore no resemblance to that carefree sound. Then again, Virgil had never been carefree. “Long way away so you’ll be seeing me around plenty.”

“Where’s home?” 

Maybe with Remus, though, he could be. Though his words themselves were light they felt predatory, the way his voice muffled everything else to muted whispers demanding an answer where a refusal wasn’t permitted. Virgil wanted to give freely, make his own choice in this, no matter how bad it may be. No matter how much Anushka would disapprove. And so he did. “India, south of Raipur.”

That grin froze on Remus’ broad features. The narrow mysterious eyes, pointed nose and the faint stubble shadowing over the curling lips that resembled less a smile and more a snarl. Beautiful, in an odd sort of way. 

“Remus Martinez,” he drawled, extending his hand. A muted, inky red covered his nails and as Virgil reached out, he met paper dry skin, calloused enough to cut into his. 

“Virgil,” he said in a daze, blinking slowly at the light bronze pressed against his deep sepia, at how perfectly they fit. “Virgil Subti.”

Virgil left with a number sprawled across the palm of his hand in permanent ink that day, a messy chicken scratch script that dug with reckless abandon into his skin. A brand he would cherish for weeks to come. 

Remus gave Virgil everything he wanted. Whether nights spent drowning his pain in skin, in knife-sharp hips, teeth at his throat and nails digging across his back, or cuddles infused with sweet nothings whispered late into the night, sometimes harsh truths, other times pretty lies. All there, laid out before him in a maddening juxtaposition against everything Remus acted like to the outside world. Rude, blunt and abrasive, sincere and open only for Virgil in a way he’d only ever dreamed of. A carnage of common sense. 

Virgil knew this wasn’t well, entirely healthy. His dependence on the other gave him hours sick to his stomach and heart, eyes burning, head pounding, but they still pushed on. Together. Because, in his addled state of mind after their sweat had cooled, Virgil reminded himself of the striking resemblance between them, the understanding no one else could make sense of. The comfort two castaway souls found in each other’s company. 

Remus’ core, rotten and defective through and through, reeked a bit worse each day that passed. To everyone else, at least. Virgil always found him beautiful, beautiful like silvery scars and glimmering glass shards. 

Remus’ voice rang through their apartment every night long after what would be considered acceptable by anyone else’s standards. You could never shut him up. Virgil never wanted him to, but he still occasionally pulled that ever-babbling mouth to his mid sentence, if only to taste that sharp grin, if only to have Remus lick the coppery tang away from his boyfriend’s lip the moment after he bit into it. 

Maybe between the two of them and even in the face of society’s rejection, they could work something out. 

-----------------

A/N: The last episode was amazing but I was missing my two babies and this fic has been sitting in my docs for a while so I buckled up and did the remaining work on it. Hope you like it! And I hope the words are treating you well whether you're reading or writing. Also don't forget to drink water! <3
