you know what I miss rn? The niche desi fandoms that were hyperactive for a while and slowly fizzled out. So many friendships were born out of these fandoms. There three that were the most impactful out of these for me. So RIP Bahubali Fandom, RRR Fandom and Ponniyin Selvan Fandom. Also are y'all still sneaking out here?
Watched RRR for the first time a week ago and I'm continuing to be veryyyy normal about it.
So in the spirit of sharing some good stuff, I'm gonna put this in the tag for the small fandom...
Here is the original Telugu version of the movie + English audio for the white actors + English subs, combined and shared on Google Drive by someone on Reddit.
Here is a ZIP file of the full soundtrack, including the vocal songs (in Telugu only) and the instrumental OST.
Under the cut are screenshots of how I organized the tracks for myself to slot the vocal songs in story order amidst the OST in case that's helpful for anyone else.
Ok folks, I had made a post about how I missed my desi fandoms and I found a few creators who are still making content for their fandoms. So please comment/reblog this if you're a creator who makes fics, art, memes, shitposts or any other form of media for any desi fandom. I want to find and support more fan content creators!!! Also mention the fandom(s) you make posts for!
I really wanted to draw this moment from the movie because the actor in this scene just go through so many intense emotion in a matter of seconds, shock, sorrow, anger. How can you express so much with a face with so little change is beyond me. 👌
Jr NTR is a brilliant actor who really revealed himself this last couples of years. If you haven’t seen the movie just go watch it !
Dropping the process beyond the line because even though it is quite messy, you can see the struggle I went through ;]
Time spent : 5h07
Total strokes made : 9918
FYI, this was my third attempt in trying to draw that scene, and the first time I’m happy with the result .. idk why it was such a hardship but trust me in this, I struggled ^^ so yeah, happy I persevered through previous failures.
So today I was like, "Pappa, there more bromance then romance in RRR and Salaar, no?" And he was like "I know, right!" And we started talking about it for like half an hour. Never thought my dad was so cool 😭
Ok y'all, imagine a modern AU for RRR. What profession suits our main characters? Idk about ram tbh, I'm not as invested in him as I'm invested in Bheem.
But Bheem
This guy
As we'll think at first glance that he'd be doing some Hard and rugged job, considering his body
Which is correct to a very good extent
Bro has a build of a bear
Like-those arms and not to mention, those ✨ thighs ✨
But what I think, he'll choose to be some kind of a doctor...or a vet all together
Cuz look, this guy(in the movie) , makes a cure, for a snake, that was said to be incurable by a member of his OWN tribe and ram? He fine-
Yes, this might seem that ram has some good GOOD healing system, I agree. But it's good doesn't mean that it'll be able to cure some incurable venom????!!!!!
Or this maybe made me realise that I'm watching a movie 🙂
And yes, lacchu might even have been lying about the- "dead within one hour" part, but looking at the sheer expression of shock and dread filling bheem's face says otherwise.
So yes,bheem whips out some good aa leaves and makes a paste, boom 💥 wound is gone
A good ass doctor.
And like- even better if he's like a pediatrician. I'm sure he gives the best hugs and kids will absolutely love and trust him for sure. And + point, he'd be also very good at consoling the family of patients yk, considering he looks like a big big empath
So ya
But imagine, ram, a detective or some kinda police officer, gets wounded and taken to the hospital where bheem takes care of him.
It's friendship at first sight y'all unfortunately
Then the usual-
"Bhaiya how the hell do you get wounded so much ಠ︵ಠ" while tenderly caring for them wounds and ram just watched him with a smile on his face he doesn't realise is there.
