Find Me Again - Chapter 14 - echo_grace - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]
A series of transitions:
Still stupid-horny for each other but not getting anywhere with the case, Dhruya decide a change of scenery is in order. Ishika makes some not-great decisions. Ram commits to being an idiot in love.
... The Polycule aren't sure what to make of this Daya character Dhruva's brought home. Gandhaar's happy to take advantage.
I've noticed I have a particular interest in very well done, more adult-oriented takes on my favorite franchises growing up. I'm currently reading Infested - by @/flightyalrighty , and Heartache of Chaos - by @/gorjee-art , and they both are similar in that they're infection aus...or, yknow, aus in which some force takes over the minds and bodies of the characters involved. For lack of a better term. But, instead of sucking all the whimsy out of the source material, they retain that same feeling of something magical/adventurous, but it's more mature and well rounded. Does that make sense? Also, I'm not mentioning them directly but I'll put em in the tags below just as a soft nudge in their direction, I urge anyone following me to read their comics if you're interested in these macabre concepts represented by sonic/mlp/etc.

By the time he was twelve, Jason Peter Todd knew deep down that he was meant to be alone. Knowing that he was meant to be alone, however, did not mean that there weren’t nights where he really wished that he had someone (anyone) to rely on.
As Jason clung to the brick wall clutching at the stab wound on his abdomen, he reflected that tonight was one of those nights.
Or, Street kid Jason suffers a stab wound. Luckily, bat themed vigilantes arrive to help.
This is the disgusting, blame shifting response of a man who created a film in which the female lead's breasts and navel get more screentime than her face. A movie where a woman gets sexually assaulted in the dark by the "Hero". And then, when she's visibly traumatised and in need of help, she gets told that she can't report it to the police because her being seen as defiled would negatively affect her father's political career. This is a movie where the "hero" essentially says that his love language is molestation. This is a movie where the victim eventually falls in love with the assailant, in a disgusting reprisal of the "marry your rapist/assailant in order to restore your dignity" trope, because Indians think that the one who got assaulted is the one who is dirty and worthless.
Not the one who committed the crime.
I've been told by people that there's no greater proof of bad karma carrying on into a new life, than being born as an Indian woman. On most days, I disregard that statement. On other days, I wonder what I did to deserve to be punished.
This might seem to be an overreaction to a movie, but it's not about the movie.
It's about the fact that the director made the movie the way that he did, and was enabled, empowered and secure enough to do so.
It's about the fact that the lead actor, who holds all the power in this project, did nothing to protect the dignity of his co actor and continued to sing praises about the director throughout.
It's about the fact that this movie was made by a director and actor and production team of men, who all chose to hire someone accused of raping a child - a case that is currently sub judice - as the choreographer, and proudly claim that this person is a wonderful human being.
It's about the fact that the actress was forced to promote this movie under the threat of contractual obligation, despite the fact that she wanted to step away due to the offensive and degrading nature of the final cut of the movie.
It's about the fact that the CBFC -which usually demands that consensual on screen kisses be removed- deemed these scenes unproblematic, and the director and lead actor said it was a "family entertainer," asking people to bring their children to the theatre.
This is about the fact that when the sexual assault was playing out on screen, men in the audience were cheering.
This is an RRR/Rambheem blog, and this post is not directly related to that movie. However, there's a chance, however miniscule, that the small contribution I make to this fandom through my gifs and posts and writing, might lead someone to further explore Ram Charan's filmography. So I had to say something.
