Rehmat in the early days of their marriage:-

Ulfat: You're a lying piece of shit!

Rehman: Oh yeah? You're the princess who thinks she can get away with everything she does, WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!

Ulfat: I'm leaving and I'm taking Uzair with me!

Uzair, gathering cards: Aaaand, that's enough Monopoly for today.

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

Rehman: I'm worried about Uzair.

Donga: Same. He called me in the middle of the night and just yelled, "What do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?"

Rehman: And what did you say?

Donga: "I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, I dunno."

Rehman: I'm so lucky to have the two of you as my lieutenants.

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

Rehman: Uzair, why did you draw a pentagram on the floor?

Uzair: You told me to satanize the house before Bhabhi returned.

Rehman:

Rehman: I said sanitize, Uzair.

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

Uzair: Due to personal reasons, I will be fucking sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box.

Ulfat, grabbing Rehman: This one is mine.

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

Rehman: I didn't drink that much last night.

Uzair: You were flirting with Bhabhi.

Rehman: So what? We're married.

Uzair: You asked her if she was single.

Uzair: And then you cried when she said she wasn't.

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

Ulfat: Rehman annoyed me today so I told him that I can’t wait to see what he has planned for our special day tomorrow.

Uzair: There is nothing special about tomorrow.

Ulfat: But there is something special about watching the color leave his face as panic takes over.

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

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

Hamza: I’ve been dropping him the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response.

Uzair: Wow. He sounds stupid.

Hamza: But he's not. He's really smart actually. Just dense.

Uzair: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!”

Hamza: I guess you’re right. Hey Uzair, I love you.

Uzair: See! Just say that!

Hamza: Holy fucking shit.

Uzair: If that flies over his head then, sorry Hamza, but he is too dumb for you.

Hamza: Uzair. 

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

Aslam: Oh, so when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges, its “intelligent” and “really cool”.

Aslam: But when I do it, I’m “petty” and “need to let it go”. 

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

Siyahi: I sleep with a gun under my pillow.

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

Uzair: Know why I called you in here?

Hamza: Because I accidentally sent you a dick pic.

Uzair: *Stops pouring two glasses of wine.* Accidentally?

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

Ulfat: World domination.

Rehman: That's a bit ambitious.

Ulfat: You are my world.

Rehman: Aww...

Ulfat:

Rehman:

Ulfat:

Rehman: OH.

Guys I don't know what I am doing so bare with me

I don't have experience drawing human figures at all!! Digital? I am a noob!

This is my first ever digital drawing that has a human figure in it and my first EVER fanart!!!

As you can see I am (almost) done with Uzair half and I am planning to draw the hamza half (soon)

And guys if you ever post a dhurandhar fanart tag me!!! I need more!! I am running on a low supply thus I put myself through the torture to draw it myself 😭🙏🏻

[i-might-be-a-dumbo2]

progress report

Sry for being late

Yes I stripped off the og idea

And yes this is hand drawn while teasing on a reference picture

(I still feel like the colour scheme and typography are way off the mark please feel free to send me a few ideas on what I should use cause I feel stuck 🙏🏻🙏🏻)

Hi @savagedrama

I hope you like this one 🙏🏻

I still haven't caught up with cleats vs combat boots 😭🙏🏻 busy life sry

Hamzair Fanart

The art is inspired by, as you can guess, @aneshb25 's The Khol in Your Eyes (dhurandhar fanfic) chapter 11 spoiler spoiler!!! 🙈

I know it's not accurate to the wedding scene as described but hey this is my take on it !

Hamza's smug smile and Uzair's grin is a detail I struggled with a bit (I don't even know if it's clearly visible to you guys until I pointed it out )

And if you ask why sunglasses 😎 firstly b!tch I can't draw

Secondly I am just giving Jassi some privacy to take a look at his man without worries 😌(as eyes are a portals to one's soul )

Mentions @savagedrama @sunxister21 @hamzair-is-my-otp @hamzair @hyade

(someone needs to help me mention people 😭🙏🏻 or never mind just teach me )

[aneshb25]

THE FACT THE YOU TOOK OUT THE TIME AND DREW THIS BEING INSPIRED BY MY STORY... I NEED A MOMENT FOR MYSELF OR I SHALL CRY MYSELF A RIVER

Like damn! Right from the height difference to the anklets to the colour of the sherwanis HOLY SHIT MAN😭

If perfection had a visual reference🤌✨

And the sunglasses??!! Like yes, I AM SORRY FOR NOT ADDING THEM TO MY STORY.. cause what you reasoned🤣 Hamza needing privacy to keep staring at his new husband is SUCH A VALID REASON!!!

I love this!! And I need more of your art, okay? Especially that cleats vs combat boots one!!

Ps. Hamza smirking like "you see bitxches this handsome babe is MINE 😎👌

[i-might-be-a-dumbo2]

OMG!!!

AaaaaaaaKKh!(Can't help but scream, got no words 😭)

It took me a while to read through your post as I was getting so excited!! Omg!!

Love you , love you, love you 💕😘🫶🏻

(can't believe I am getting so excited over compliments from strangers on the internet, I have never got compliments, like never, I am gonna have a hard time digesting this, this is gonna stay with me for a while! )

love your chibi's they are adorable, love reading your fics , love your dedication, may god bless you and your soul (I am running outta compliments for you Gurl!!)

And let me lore drop cause I might forget it at this rate

So the sunglasses 🕶️ are not only for Hamza but also for Jessi ... cause you know it's like it's him behind those glasses, he is hiding, he is all buttoned up making sure he is not exposed , hiding his eyes helps him keep up with his pretend, it's him who is keeping his privacy behind those glasses, he can look at his man from his safe space, ie. behind those glasses, without worries, without the worries of ever been found out by the man he is looking at ....I am just here to help him do that...

So this is my take on this ( sorry no sorry for making people emotional)

And I am still working on other art, Hamza is giving me a hard time 😭 I can't seem to draw him right! Uggh!

(and this is my first reblog btw bare with me)

[i-might-be-a-dumbo2]

I was attending a fun drawing workshop and the minute the instructor said "gang" describing a stick figure drawing they were about to make ... My brain straight up went to the dhurandhar Fanfiction I was reading last night (guess which one! 🫣 )

(I completely butchered hamza's hands and I don't know why I drew them in shoes cause all I remember is Hamza kissing Uzair's feet 💋🦶🏻 🙈🙈 )

I was supposed to draw Yalina too but I just couldn't fit her there 😔 definitely next time

Also stay tuned I might be posting more hamzair art (not a promise tho!)

[usertoxicyaoi]

anyway. been thinking all day about the way racism is addressed in 10dance towards asians/the asian diaspora. and.

the way sugiki calls suzuki a little fish who's a king in his little pond who dares not even want to try to step out of his comfort zone so he has no right to even be a rival to him, as a way to get back at suzuki for telling sugiki that he'll never be number one at the world championships because asians do not get to be number one, so there's no point in sugiki pushing suzuki to compete at worlds.

the way sugiki is so stubborn and adamant that it isn't his asian-ness that is stopping him from being world number one, vs suzuki's clear acceptance that it does, and suzuki's anger and outburst directed at the entire system and the people who control it and can do something about it, vs sugiki internalising it and pushing himself to the limit in perfecting himself over and over again, especially when his ex girlfriend and dance partner left him because she knew sugiki's asian-ness is what was stopping her from being world number one.

that doesn't mean suzuki isn't competitive. hell, he's asian. asians are some of the most competitive people you'll ever meet. our parents pressure us with direct comparisons and competition and survival of the fittest since day one. so, he is competitive. but he also knows when he's fighting a losing battle. and so, he knows which battles to pick where he can compete and succeed in, partly, in my personal opinion and personal experience being desi myself, to keep his sanity and mental wellbeing intact and to actually enjoy dancing and find pleasure in it, flaws and all. unlike sugiki, for whom everything has to be clinical and refined and polished and perfect. he is relentless. he does not settle. that doesn't mean sugiki doesn't find pleasure in dancing. he does. as an unhealthy obsession, where, yes, he would die if he didn't dance. but, i think, deep down, deep deep down, even he knows that no matter what he does, he cannot change the fact that he is asian, and what that means for him: coming second every single time and missing out on being number one.

but its takes for someone like suzuki to come and actually make sugiki want to enjoy dancing, put some heart in it. put some love in it. even when sugiki is leading suzuki in the ballroom dance part of that final honour dance scene in the movie, sugiki looks so much more relaxed as opposed to when they used to practice at the dance studio, where sugiki was controlling suzuki like a puppet, like he did fusako.

and so. when you watch 10dance, though its a japanese film, there's very little japanese/asian-ness in it, and asians from the diaspora will completely understand that feeling. we are still asian. no matter where we go. and we only really have each other to form small groups and communities to feel a sense of home and belonging out here in the west. and it was so heart warming that the core 4 characters in this film, sugiki, suzuki, fusako and aki, are all japanese. are all asian. and they find comfort and warmth and love and support and acceptance in one another. and thank god that they have each other to rely on and come back to against a system that will kick you down and tell you that you're good but just not good enough and make you question everything about yourself. a system so brutal and unwilling to change and still so deeply rooted in racism towards asians.

and that's just the cold harsh bitter truth. that i already knew being asian and from the diaspora myself. but still. to get reminded of it and be moved by it. its certainly ..... a feeling.

[kikis-reading-room]

(love this op, i agree w everything!!)

i want to bring the manga here because it expands upon the reasons why suzuki doesn't really want to pursue the worlds (in addition to an acceptance of racism)

it's his family. suzuki's mother is cuban and he has a lot of half-siblings - to the point where he's single handedly managing them. he also is supporting them financially - there's a panel where he says that he'll support one of the sisters in becoming a doctor - and is also the main breadwinner of the whole family.

which then puts his lack of interest in competing in the worlds into perspective. being on the podium consistently every year or so means a consistent flow of money, which adds on to the money that he gets in running his dance school. while his love for dance isn't based upon money (very obviously, because he talks about dance is the most inherently cuban trait about him), he does want the stability that his pre-sugiki existence gave him.

and as a desi person too, i get why!! suzuki doesn't come from the kind of wealth sugiki does (he has to get a scholarship to the university that teaches dance in cuba), and therefore financial stability and money are values he holds dear. also, it would have been hard on him to search for ways to both do his passion and to make money and support his family, a stability he pursues. we're always told to abandon our passions to get stability in our lives, which is something suzuki would also had to go through.

[chlorine-tangerine]

Fantastic analyses from both posts above this! Sugiki's Asian identity and what that means for him as a world-class professional in his field was not really explored in the manga, so much so that even I, as a diaspora Asian, didn't really think about it until they spelled the quiet part out loud in the movie. That was one of the things I liked more in the film, the way they emphasize both men's heritage and how that intersects with their careers.

My one thing to add:

In the manga, it was implied Suzuki was slowly losing passion for dance in chapter 1. we later learn that he was penalized pretty much immediately when he starting competing in the amateur division 6 years ago because he was doing illegal moves. ever since then, he's only been dancing steps that get points and earn money that way. His rich cultural heritage from Cuba and all the styles he'd inherited had to be "polished" and made more palatable to the Latin ballroom community in Japan, even if that raw passion and energy was what ignited Sugiki in the first place.

Sugiki pointed out that Suzuki could have gone international ages ago if he wanted to. But since Suzuki started doing ballroom for money, it was actually his father who advised him to stay in Japan to make a bigger profit. The financial aspect was more highlighted in the manga, and adds a touch of realism to his character as he balances his ambitions with his responsibility of supporting his family (and listening to his dad), which is something a lot of us are familiar with.
