I’m really into internet discourse but only pointless and stupid internet discourse like how many holes there are in a straw (it’s 2)

it is funny having a big heavy purse bc people who don't carry bags are always like "god what do u even have in there" and then every time you hang out they need something that you have in there

[normal-thoughts-official]

and see. Okay so this scene is important to establish how much Bheem trusted him from the get-go, but also, let's be serious for a moment: we the audience know Ram is a police officer and strong enough to fight a mob and win, and Bheem knows Ram can do pullups like nobody's business, but without the knowledge the audience has, what could Bheem reasonably expect Ram to be able to do to help them? And he has already said he didn't want to risk his life, so I'm pretty sure asking him to participate in the mission is off the table. What "help" could he want from Ram, other than just being someone he can ask when he's in doubt, someone who can be on equal footing with him instead of looking up to him?

Just how fucking starved was him of someone who could be his protector for once?

Starved enough to call him bhaiya/anna every five seconds?

I think we all know the answer

Bheem treats all his elders by name

In return, they call him anna (except for Peddayya, I believe, who's obviously the eldest out of all of them, but I'd need to rewatch the whole movie to be sure he doesn't also call him that and I don't have time for that rn)

It is entirely possible that Bheem hasn't had anyone to call anna since he became the Gond's protector

Like... Even with people clearly older than him (like Jangu and Lacchu) he is the "older brother". It's his responsibility to take care of them. They look up to him

How isolating must that be, to always be the one who needs to hold the answers, to take care of everyone?

No wonder he meets Ram and calls him bhaiya/anna literally every single fucking sentence. He's so fucking starved for someone to look up to. Someone to take care of him. Someone who doesn't see him as the protector and is willing to take the lead every once in a while

...And then Ram betrays him instead of protecting him

I am FINE

Your dm only allows messages from people you follow 🙈😅

horrible oversight fixed. oopsie! we're mutuals now

[normal-thoughts-official]

do you think he ever got to ask this of anyone else since he became the protector? I remember him being vulnerable enough to ask if they'd find Malli to Peddayya, but when Lacchu was found by Ram, when Peddayya lost his doubts, when they had to come up with a plan to get inside the house, it was always Bheem on command making the choices and listening to their worries. It was never the other way around. Bheem never got to ask anyone "tell me what to do next". He was the one supposed to be in charge. It all fell to him. Raju just may be the first person he had the chance to ask to take the load off his shoulders. And who'd take it, too

Until he betrayed him

The next step is to watch the whole movie with your therapist xD

maybe I'll convince her! lmao she's already hearing all about my meta

[normal-thoughts-official]

Also, not to come across as a weirdo but if you don't mind, can I dm you to share a meta thought I had about RRR and Bheem's parallels to Draupadi? Your meta posts have been kind of an inspiration for me haha 🙈 Totally fine if not though, I understand

I'd absolutely ADORE to see it!!!! I'm so glad I'm inspiring other people to be insane about this movie. Please do send it my way!
