IT WAS THE BAND AND I
chapter 1 - playing "heads-up" in a car in seattle
'"you're different," aiden responded, before turning his gaze back to aru. "and you're really bad at this game." his words were harsh, but aru caught the way aiden's eyes softened, and how the corners of his mouth seemed to turn up.'
or, a mortal au following the potatoes, a.k.a. rudy rocks, on their national tour━each chapter inspired by a lyric from the band and i by maisie peters
𝓔FFY SAYRE ,, was she mad, or was she clear-sighted? was she gullible, or was she a believer? was she lonely, or was she independent? was she impulsive, or was she courageous? was she impertinent, or was she intelligent?
۶if that was all she was—a survivor—she would be one until her very last breath ˎˊ˗
Soo… I’m back with some new fanart!! featuring the love of my life Aru Shah💕💕
It’s my first time trying something more “aesthetic” 🙈🙈 so there’s bound to be mistakes lol
hello, my loves!! my name is hasini, also known as @telugxrl13. long story short, my account was accidentally reported and tumblr support trapped me into changing my account's email so i could pay hundreds of dollars to get it back. as you can see, i didn't pay. but we're back, and we're starting over!
please do not interact with my old account. conversations will not be continued, asks will not be answered. however, you can follow (and share) this account and i will totally respond! all of the tags will be the same as well. my overall goal is to get my follower count back up to the 540 it was before. it'll be difficult, but y'all will come through, i js know it!
for my roleplay community, i'm sorry, but i cannot access @xoxo-nikita anymore, nor can i access the community or be added to it since there are no other moderators. once i get this blog up and running, i'll try to get back to that one too.
anyway, for the newbies! this is a book & music blog, where i react to books i'm reading and share the music i'm listening to. my fandoms can be found on my intro post.
in summary, please tag your friends and family to let them know that i'm back!
forgot how many bangers aru shah has. like in ch 1 of the first book ALONE you have:
the problem with growing up around highly dangerous things is that after a while you just get used to them. (<- the OPENING LINE, folks)
sometimes light illuminates things that are better left in the dark. besides, you never know who is watching. (pg 2)
aru was waiting for magic. and every day she was disappointed. (pg 3)
the world has a tendency to trick people. (pg 4)
she could show them something impossible. (pg 8)
like. over 5 insane lines (i just picked a few that really stood out and it WASN’T EVEN ALL OF THEM) in 8 pages alone. roshani chokshi you were cooking hard
I got an ARC for The Swan's Daughter by Roshani Chokshi a few weeks ago and I finally got the time to finish it tonight and goodness gracious I missed her writing so much :CCC anyways 5 stars, chef's kiss, I adored the story and can't wait for my book to arrive next month hehehe
aru shah is about 7000 times stronger than i am because what do you mean she spends her whole life being insulted, belitted, made fun of, being the butt of the joke, ignored, and convinced time and time again that she's somehow inherently inadequate to the point where she becomes a (now reformed) pathological liar. and then she learns there's something special about her and she CONTINUES to be insulted etc even by her sisters, crush, a literal compliment fountain, and every person they stumble across. and then in nectar of immortality when multiple people see her strengths in listening and telling stories and imagination for what they are, she's already so convinced she's inherently less than or less special than the others that she doesn't believe them. by nectar of immortality, she has spent 15 years being made fun of and ignored. she's spent 15 years thinking no one has faith in or expects anything of her DESPITE THE FACT she's one of the saviors of the world. and yet through every single insult and joke and embarassing moment, she gets back up and saves the entire fucking world. i have never seen such an accurate portrayal of the indian american teenage girl experience (as i went through it. obviously there's different experiences out there and obviously i never had to save the world). arundhati shah the character that you are
Mini’s brother kinda lost at life ngl he grew up thinking that he would be the Pandava sibling just to not be AND he is gay yearning to the max. Like damn give him a break 😭😭
so basically Aiden is a half siren who looks human but his voice is just as hypnotic. So when Aru stumbles across his cove looking for treasure only to end up professing her love, he’s incredibly skeptical and tells her (read: forces) her to leave.
Trying to forget about her, he swims away (he still retains some siren abilities) but hears her boat getting fired upon by an enemy. He saves her and then we get pining, which Aiden is really unsure about given his powers. What he doesn’t know is that Aru is mostly deaf, having gotten struck by lightning, twice.
They make up and fall deeply in love and swim into the sunset together, yayy happy endings!!
