I feel like the Pandava sisters love Rudy. Like, he's their friend, he makes Mini happy. They do love him.

But they do NOT like him. On a certain level they can't stand his guts. Like, he has a strange ability to annoy them all at once. Aru can respect him as a pranking partner, but that's as far as it goes. Brynne's fight or fight response is triggered when he opens his mouth. Nikita's filled with a homicidal rage whenever she sees his outfits. Sheela just vibes with him. She finds it fun to play psychological games with him. An average conversation between the two goes somewhat like:

S: Hey, Rudy, have this perfectly normal drink that I haven't tampered with at all.

R, suspicious: Did.... you put something in this?

S: No, like I said, I haven't put laxatives in it at all. I just took it out of the fridge, poured it in the glass and I'm giving it to you.

R: ...no thanks.

He's paranoid. The drink is just a soda that, like Sheela had said, had not been tampered with at all.

Later:

M: Sheela why were you trying to poison my boyfriend???

S, to R: I WAS NOT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE I WAS TRYING TO BE NICE TO MY FUTURE BROTHER IN LAW

M: ....Uh. [red in the face] just. Don't put laxatives in his soda.

I feel their relationship would be similar to what Orion and Celia have.

*Nikita walks in on Sheela making cereal* *And then Sheela pours the milk first*

Nikita: Did you just pour the milk first?

Sheela: Yeah? What's wrong? Is it expired-

Nikita: NOBODY pours the milk first! It's- It's WEIRD!

Sheela: Um, I pour the milk first.

Nikita: And it's FREAKING WEIRD!

Sheela: WHY are you so offended?!?

Nikita: Because- SERIAL KILLERS pour the milk first!

Sheela: Oh. So. Imma kill somebody, for NO REASON, because I poured the milk first?

Nikita: I don't know, maybe-

Sheela: Why does this matter to you?

Nikita: Why do you even do it that way?

Sheela: So the cereal doesn't get soggy as fast.

Nikita: ...what?

Sheela: It makes sense.

Nikita: No. It doesn't.

Sheela: Listen, if you pour the cereal in first, and THEN pour the milk in after, then all the cereal gets SATURATED by the milk-

Nikita: ALL of the cereal gets SATURATED and SUBMERGED by the milk anyway-

Sheela: NO, not if you pour the milk in first-

Nikita: YES IT DOES!

Sheela: Wait, let me finish, sis! C'mon!

Nikita: Go ahead, go ahead. What?

Sheela: Cause of SURFACE TENSION...

*Nikita looks at the camera like in the Office*

Sheela: ...the bottom layer of the cereal will act as a FLOTATION DEVICE-

Nikita: What are you even saying right now-

Sheela: SHUT UP, LET ME FINISH-

Nikita: But that's STUPID

Sheela: YOU'RE stupid!

Nikita: This whole ARGUMENT is stupid!

Sheela: YOU are the one who STARTED this whole ARGUMENT!

Nikita: Cause you poured the FREAKING MILK IN THE BOWL FIRST!

Sheela: JUST LISTEN TO ME!!!

*Nikita snarls at the camera and says "Gosh"*

Sheela: Now, as I was saying, if you pour the cereal on TOP of the milk-

Nikita: Wait, how do you know how much milk to pour if you don't pour the cereal into the bowl first?

Sheela: If you eat all the cereal and there's still more milk left, either (A), DRINK IT, or (B), I dunno, POUR SOME MORE CEREAL

Nikita: But what if you're not as HUNGRY or as THIRSTY as you thought you were, and now you're just sitting here, with a bowl full of extra MILK-

Sheela, baby voice: Oh. Do you need a bottle? Your ba-ba?

Sheela, normal: Or are you gonna stop being a little BABY and just FINISH IT?!?

Nikita, menacingly: Cereal-milk is tainted milk

Sheela, menacingly: Well that's your fault for pouring too much milk.

Sheela, normal: Plus, there's always room for more cereal! Cereal's like, the ICE CREAM of breakfast!

Nikita: Cereal for breakfast is poppin'-

Sheela: On the other hand, if you pour the cereal first-

Nikita: Oh my-

Sheela: AND THEN pour the milk on after-

Nikita: STOP

Sheela: All the cereal will get soggy-

Nikita: EXACTLY!

Sheela: Huh?

Nikita: It gets soggy!

Sheela: Exactly!

Nikita: That's the best part!

Sheela: You're kidding me.

Nikita: NO. I am NOT.

Sheela: Have you ever had soggy Fruity Pebbles before?

Nikita: Yes. And they're delicious.

Sheela: You're an Asura.

Nikita: SOGGY FRUITY PEBBLES ARE HEAVENLY

Sheela: THAT'S DISGUSTING!

Nikita: YOU'RE DISGUSTING!

*Aiden walks in*

Sheela: YOUR WHOLE FACE IS DISGUSTING!

Nikita: YOU IDIOT! WE HAVE. THE SAME. FACE!!!

Aiden: Hey guys?

Twins: WHAT?!?

Aiden: Just. Heard your argument and I just gotta say...have you tried it, without the milk?

*Twins stare him down*

Aiden: I actually, uh, I prefer to eat my cereal dry.

*Twins breathe in*

Twins: BOI🫱

Sheela: DO YOU ALSO PREFER TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITHOUT WETTING THE TOOTH BRUSH?

Nikita: I BET YOU USE THE TOILET AFTER YOU SHOWER! YOU'RE PROBABLY SMELLING LIKE A STRAIGHT SEWER!

Sheela: RIGHT NOW!

Nikita: OL' BROKE LOOKING, JOHNNY LEVER LOOKING BOI

Sheela: IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR WHOLE "Ara Ara" APSARA LOOKING FACE OUTTA HERE BOI

Aiden: Guys-

Nikita: WHO ARE YOU?!?

Sheela: WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU ANYMORE

Aiden: But guys-

Nikita: WHO INVITED YOU?!?

Sheela: WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!?

Aiden: But guys-

Nikita: HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IN OUR HOUSE?!?

Sheela: 👈EXIT STAGE LEFT!

Aiden: But-

Nikita: YOU POMPOUS HEATHEN! I TAKE MY SPOON AND I YEET!

*throws a spoon at Aiden*

Sheela: YEET! *throws the bowl at Aiden*

Nikita: MILK YEET! *Throws the milk jug at Aiden*

Sheela: RUSUSUSPUFFAS YEET! *Throws box of Reese's Puffs at Aiden*

*later*

Aru, bandaging Aiden's wounds: And this is why I don't go to the Jagan's anymore...

Aru Shah Characters As Taylor Swift Songs Because WHY NOT!

Aru: You're On Your Own, Kid

"You're on your own, kid. You always have been"

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashesI gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this I hosted parties and starved my body

Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss

The jokes weren't funny, I took the money My friends from home don't know what to sayI looked around in a blood-soaked gown

And I saw something they can't take away

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned

Everything you lose is a step you take.

So make the moment and taste it You've got no reason to be afraid.”

Mini: Marjorie

"Never be so polite, you forget your power. Never wield such power, you forget to be polite"

Brynne: Vigilante Shit

"They say looks can kill and I might try. I don't dress for women. I don't dress for men. Lately I've been dressing for revenge."

Aiden: Cardigan

"Cause I knew you. Steppin' on the last train. Marked me like a bloodstain, I.

I knew you. Tried to change the ending. Peter losing Wendy, I. I knew you.

Leavin' like a father. Running like water, I.

And when you are young, they assume you know nothing."

Rudy: The Archer

“I've been the archer I've been the prey Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me)”

Sheela: The Best Day

“There is a video I found From back when I was three You set up a paint set in the kitchen And you're talking to me It's the age of princesses and pirate ships And the seven dwarfs And Daddy's smart And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world”

Nikita:

“Best believe I'm still bejeweled

When I walk in the room I can still make the whole place shimmer

And when I meet the band

They ask, "Do you have a man?" I can still say, "I don't remember"

Familiarity breeds contempt Don't put me in the basement

When I want the penthouse of your heart

Diamonds in my eyesI polish up real, I polish up real nice”

Kara: Anti-Hero

“It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me At tea time, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy babyAnd I'm a monster on the hillToo big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite cityPierced through the heart, but never killed.”

Lightning Smoulder:

—

Aiden POV: Mine, Champagne Problems, Cornelia Street, The Great War

“Do you remember, we were sittin', there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing, that's ever been mine

Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together And there's a drawer of my things at your place You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.”

—

“One for the money, two for the show I never was ready, so I watch you go Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

"She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's fucked in the head, " they said But you'll find the real thing instead She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred.”

—

“We were a fresh page on the desk Filling in the blanks as we go As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead Leading us home

And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends I'd never walk Cornelia Street again That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend I'd never walk Cornelia Street again.”

—

“You drew up some good faith treaties I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone You said I have to trust more freely But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire And maybe it's the past that's talkin' Screamin' from the crypt Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did So I justified it

~

It turned into something bigger Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed Your finger on my hair pin triggers Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue, so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you

I really thought I lost you.”

—

Aru POV: Enchanted, Gold Rush, You’re Losing Me

—

“This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you.”

—

“Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch Everybody wants you Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you Walk past, quick brush I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush Everybody wants you But I don't like a gold rush.”

—

“How long could we be a sad song 'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life? I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier Fighting in only your army Frontlines, don't you ignore meI'm the best thing at this party (You're losin' me) And I wouldn't marry me either A pathological people pleaser Who only wanted you to see her And I'm fadin', thinkin'

"Do something, babe, say something" (say something) "Lose something, babe, risk something" (you're losin' me) "Choose something, babe, I got nothing (got nothing) To believe Unless you're choosin' me.”

Snake Of Death:

—

Mini POV: Midnight Rain, Lover

—

“'Cause he was sunshine I was midnight rain He wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain He wanted a bride I was making my own name Chasing that fame He stayed the same All of me changed Like midnight.”

—

“Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue All's well that ends well to end up with you Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover.”

—

Rudy POV: Willow

—

“Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh) Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in As if you were a mythical thing Like you were a trophy or a champion ring And there was one prize I'd cheat to win The more that you say The less I know Wherever you stray I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans That's my man.”

—

Hirynne:

—

Hira POV: Love Story

—

“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"

—

Brynne POV: Fearless

—

“And I don't know how it gets better than this You take my hand and drag me head first Fearless And I don't know why But with you I'd dance in a storm  In my best dress Fearless.”

[dream-of-potter]

Aru Shah, as a series, is beautifully crafted

Apart from being one of the rare books where you actually get the "villain's" perspective, it has great humor, characters who actually have realistic flaws, and another great genre with barely any representation: Indian mythology.

The first initials of the names of the Pandava sisters is the same as their adjacent Pandava brothers. Aru- Arjun, Yamini- Yudhishthira, Brynne- Bhima, Nikita- Nakul and Sheela- Sahadeva. Details, which, Roshani took care of amazingly.

Coming to the last book. NoI. The scene with the Uber driver, Krishna, was a direct parallel to a very famous scene from Mahabharata, where Arjuna stands on a chariot looking at the opposite army, which consists mainly of his family, and feeling apprehensive about fighting them. Then Krishna, who is his chariot driver, steps in and explains to him his dharma.

The conversation that took place between them is recorded in the Bhagvad Gita, the sacred book of Hindus.

This series is an exemplary attempt at inducing diversity in the whitewashed world of fiction books and I hope it continues to make a difference in lives like it did to mine.

WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE TPQ CHARACTER

AHHHHHHH I CANT DECIDE

i cant pick one bc all of them are amazing in their own ways but

aru bc she’s well…she’s just ARU she’s that clumsy awkward girl but she’s such a brave heroine and lives swedish fish to death i love her

aiden because he always keeps his cool and always so fed up with aru. also the fact that he calls her shah always makes me scream every time (c’mon scream with me AHHHHHHHH—)

brynne bc she’s such a protective mama bird and we both love food lmao and her sarcasm is the best

mini bc she spews our random facts all the time and puts up with all the shit the potatoes do and she’s brave in her own way

and all the side characters are so well written like rudy, nikki, sheela and kara. roshani chokshi writes so well it’s hard to not like any character

what about you??

[hazellevessque]

Do you think that the Pandava sisters are like Sophie and Fitz always having telepathic conversations and Aiden, Rudy, Hira, Boo, Krithika & Kara are like Keefe trying to figure out what’s happening like:

Aru: *bursts out laughing* Mini: *grumbles*

Brynne: *eye roll*

Nikita: *sigh*

Sheela: *small smile*

Aiden: So…you gonna let us in on that little telepathic conversation you guys are having or are we gonna have to figure it out ourselves?

I was playing Minecraft earlier so I thought maybe I would share some headcanons about the Pandavas (+Kara) playing Minecraft :]

Aru is literally just playing pranks on everyone. She starts wars. She lives for the drama. She drops potatoes into everyone's inventories while they're afk. She kidnaps pets for ransom. Aru is chaos incarnate. Her house is probably a tiny cube made out of wood with just a bed, furnace, and crafting table, but I could also see her having some sort of underground base. She keeps no pets, but as I said before, she kidnaps some for ransom. She's rich from it.

Mini is complaining a bit about the scientific inaccuracies and for a period of time she begged for Education Edition before being bribed to stop with diamonds. She is strangely good at gathering materials and likes it because it's an easy mindless task she can do while thinking about other things. She keeps a parrot named BB (since there are no pigeons in Minecraft) but he is the group pet and anyone is free to vibe with him for a while.

Brynne is a PVP god. And a PVE god. Literally just a Minecraft god, in fact. She will beat the crap out of mobs. If you challenge her to a fight, that is a mistake. She will destroy you. She raids villages. She's made at least 10 iron golems to guard her house. She's also insanely good at water bucket clutches for some reason. She carries the Potatoes. If you get lost, she will find you and help you get back to your house. If your pet dies from a zombie attack, she will smite the zombie that killed it and find you a hundred new pets to choose from. Full enchanted netherite. She also has a horse. No one knows why.

Nikita and Sheela are just building. Niki is great at building because she has super good taste and Sheela is just vibing. They built like half of the stuff in the server. Sheela has like 1000 pets, 80% of which are axolotls. She refuses to kill a single animal. Niki has a pet cat named Sparkles with a magenta collar that is treated to the finest luxuries (a stack of fish per day). He also has his own room in Niki and Sheela's shared house.

Kara also likes to build. Her house is gorgeous and is also immune to Aru's pranks because she set up boobytraps everywhere. She only fights with a trident. She refuses to go into caves and/or have a basement. She exclusively strip mines. Kara has many pets in various enclosures, including two cats, a dog, a parrot, four foxes, and several axolotls. She keeps a diary with a book and quill, except she filled up all of the pages in the first one so now she has 7 (and it's still going).
