RATING NANDAMURI TARAKA RAMA RAO JR’S MANSPREADS ON A SCALE OF 1 - 10

Hello Ramakrishna, my beloved! It is fascinating indeed to see this feminist king indulging in a little manspread action! And during Zara Zara, of course! A very horny number. This is a purely sexual manspread. It has nothing to do with power or posturing, it is 100% seduction. And uh… mission accomplished!

Not gonna lie, I don’t love this fashion. The all white feels way more douchy than anything Ramakrishna would pick for himself. The trousers are too long. The button motif is silly. But the PEARL NECKLACE?!! The SILVER BANGLE??!!!! The BARE FEET!!!!!! More than make up for the imperfections. He is sopping fucking wet, man. Those trousers are SHEER!

The spread itself is a bit stilted. He seems unsure of how far back he wants to lean. I love how open he is though, right there on the ground, just kinda offering himself passively. It’s very sexy, just a tiny bit awkward. Overall, quite lovable.

FINAL VERDICT: 6/10

RATING NANDAMURI TARAKA RAMA RAO JR'S MANSPREADS ON A SCALE OF 1 - 10

Ramakrishna is BACK, and in is his saucy little devil form! Hookah?! All black outfit??!!! Shirt WIDE OPEN???!!!!! Bad Boy Ramakrishna sure is a sight to behold!

The VIBE here is IMMACULATE. Look at him!!! Just knocking his head back, blissed out in the sun, eyes closed, thinking of his own cock and where he's gonna stick it!!! It's so fucking good, I wish I was one trillionth as cool as this. The spread itself is nothing to write home about, but it’s alright! It’s serviceable.

Unfortunately, an objective analysis clearly identifies one unforgiveable flaw: Wet socks. I am devastated to not see bare feet, and I'm frankly horrified by the very concept of wearing socks on the beach. What's going on, Ramakrishna??? Why don't you put the hookah down for five seconds and take your damn socks off? Speaking of the hookah, I find it very distracting here. Look, it goes right over his crotch! Rude much?

FINAL VERDICT: 7/10

Heads up 7-Up

@winterandwords and @kaiusvnoir both tagged me in a heads up seven up, to share seven lines! They are from The Princess and The Pirate this time :3 since I got tagged twice and many more times in last lines, here’s a bunch!

“I was born a boy,” [Aguri] finally said.

Rakhee tilted eir head. Why did she sound so sad? Why was she looking away, like she was ashamed?

“All right,” e finally said.

Aguri looked back up again. “We… we don’t really have a term for that where I’m from. It must happen, but so rarely nobody’s bothered to come up with words for it. I didn’t know you didn’t have to be one or the other until about a year ago. I thought you had to be a boy or a girl. I didn’t realize you could be both. Or neither. Can you do that? Can you be both if you were only born one?”

Savitri’s hand fell away from Rakhee’s side when e scooted closer. She was carefully looking at the fire, doing her best to give the two some privacy.

“I think you can be anything you feel like, whatever you were born into,” Rakhee said. E bumped a gentle shoulder against Aguri’s. She startled, then laughed a little at her own jumpiness.

Aguri stuffed the last bite of bread into her mouth, and spoke muffled around it. “That’s why Captain’s taking me to Jannah. So they can make my body right. So I’m a girl on the outside and the inside. But… last year I started to wonder. Maybe I might be both.”

Rakhee ‘hmm’ed softly, carefully moving eir feet a little closer to the fire. “I think you could be. What’s in Jannah?”

“The Alchemists,” Aguri said. “I don’t know if it’s Magic, or science, or both. But it fixes things. It makes them how they’re supposed to be.”

Rakhee turned back toward Savitri when she pressed a small package of dried, salted fish against eir arm. E took it and popped one of the tiny cubes into eir mouth. E chewed thoughtfully, and when e swallowed, e said, “Well, if you are, the Alchemists will fix it, right?”

Aguri’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, you don’t go to the Alchemists and say, ‘make me a girl.’ You go to the Alchemists and say, ‘make me the truest, realest form of myself.’ Right? Alchemy breaks everything down into its purest form. So whatever the person, or the thing, is meant to be, deep down, that’s what happens. At least, that’s what Grandmother Alta always said.”

MARSHMALLOW YES OMG, Ramakrishna is the sexiest tarakter in history. He probably gives the most life-changingly-good hugs. Wistful sigh

People, I am NOT normal about this man.

I mean NTR jr, of course, but in particular, him as K. Ramakrishna, aka. Rakhi.

The movie itself is... uhm... let's say that I'd put every single trigger warning I can think of and then some more just in case before I actually recommend it. But Rakhi? Omg, Rakhi is the most adorable and sweet marshmallow of a man ever.

Message me if you want to be added. (You have to be 18 years old, or older.) I'll customize this community more this weekend, when I have the time to do so

Edit: this is for adult fans of Wonka, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story, and the lore involving the world. Things don't have to be sexual, but we just wanted a space without minors.
