THE BRISK BAAHUBALI BAKE OFF CHALLENGE - 2021

Hey y’all! 

Welcome to the first edition of THE BRISK BAAHUBALI BAKE OFF - 2021! We are pumped to be hosting this event amidst this pandemic and despite the bazillion lockdowns that they throw at us, we took an oath (unlike our Amarendra) to whip up something fun and borderline crazy for this fandom. Yes, this fandom which brought together hundreds of similarly insane lot, who’ve managed to change each of our lives with even the littlest of their fics! 

Let us brave the storm in the best way we know - BAKING COOKIES, Y’ALL, IT IS THAT SIMPLE! Time to tug out your whisks and whip us up some smooth, flaky, chunky, gooey, dark, crumbly and melt-in-our-mouths kinda cookies!

Start prepping your batch after receiving your prompts because y’all have got two weeks to get cracking. At the end of the given time period, we shall display your artisanal cookies on our page. Don’t forget that we will be tasting each and every one of your batch of cookies!

Down here, you can find all the goodies you need to make that delicious cookie, baking ingredients and instructions to get you started with that dough-cument!

Ingredients:

Baahubali Characters (of your choice) - 1 or 2

Dark AU prompt - 1

Other AU prompt - 1 

Crack prompt- 1

Instructions:

Choose any two items from ingredients 2, 3 and 4 in the above-mentioned list. (you may choose all three, if you like to live a little dangerously. But do remember to put out warning tags to your readers before they consume the cookie)

Use the central character that you have chosen and marinate them in the above mixture along with any other character/ characters of your choice. 

Rest your cookie dough-cument (fic) with a sleek and shiny cling wrap till it cools to 200-500 words. Or Artwork/Gifset/Poetry/Song/Podfic (of your choice) which sticks to the word limit.

When you think you are satisfied with the consistency of the Dough-cument/Artwork/Gifset/Poetry/Song/Podfic, pop it into the oven, and crank up the heat.

Bake your batch and post 'em on Tumblr within two weeks of receiving your prompts of our choice, add appropriate tags and warnings. And finally, tag our page so we can feature all your fabulous cookies!

You can even post more than one cookie if you like! The choice is all yours. Hell, we’d sign up for a whole box if we could.

Prompt:  DARK AU - Bhadra is actually Mahendra. The soldiers killed Sivagami and recovered the infant. Devasena doesn't know. @ruminationsofaraven @bleedinknight @thebaahubalibakeoffchallenge

Mourning The Unknown

Blood doesn’t call to blood

When stained by the dirt 

of tainted love. 

A mother in name is not

the giver of life. 

A father of dead flesh is not 

the giver of a name. 

Rage bleeds and trickles down

the curve of emaciated breasts,

and revenge stirs the dying embers

of a fire that was never extinguished.

The messiah died 

on the pyre of hope. 

His shell lives on in the ruins

of his mother’s broken home. 

[avani008]

My prompt was: Crack! - Bhalla has a doppelganger who is born to a farmer in the neighboring village. Kattappa and Baahu encounter the man during their pre-coronation tour.

“No,” says Kattappa, as firmly as he can manage through lips quivering with laughter; and yet Baahu’s grin only widens.

“Yes,” pleads his irrepressible, impossible nephew. “Only imagine the look on Bhalla’s face! And it wouldn’t be for long, only time enough for ah, my new friend Bhola—“

They turn as one to consider the man before them, attired in honest homespun, known by an outlandish northern name, as he obligingly pauses in ploughing his fields to gawk back at them. By itself it is an unremarkable expression; but on features shared by the elder prince of Mahishmati, it is—

Uncanny, Kattappa decides. He does not add aloud: rather more pleasant than Bhallaladeva’s usual glower.

“Bhola needs somewhere to escape his creditors,” Baahu continues, “and one day’s beating won’t be enough to deter them. They need a reason to fear Bhola himself, and I know no one who might do so more easily than my brother.”

Kattappa raises an eyebrow. “And meanwhile…”

Baahu’s smile, once earnest, turns impish. “We wouldn’t want Mother to worry about Bhalla’s disappearance, would we? Happily we have someone who might take his place while he deals with matters here.”

Altruism is not among Bhallaladeva’s graces; Kattappa has no doubt the exchange between prince and pauper will not be voluntary, at least on Bhallaladeva’s part. And yet, would that be so bad a fate? It is past time Bijjaladeva received his comeuppance, and given certain conversations Kattappa has overheard….

“Only until the coronation,” he finds himself saying, and prays he won’t regret it.

Hey all, this is my cookie for the brisk baahubali bakeoff challenge. Hope I did the prompt justice. :)

Prompt (Crack) : I am personally offended you didn't ask me to be your fake date!

Look, Deva,I really didn't think like that..

Deva

Deva

DEVA

"What?" She hissed narrowing her eyes at him.

Please Deva,will you listen to me for a minute please please pretty please??? Amara asked trying his famous *I can melt anyone's heart in a moment * puppy eyes look.

Though she would deny it vehemently later,she did melt a bit looking at her best friend literally begging her to listen.

"Okay",she finally relented.

Relieved, Amara took a deep breath and opened his mouth but no words came out.

"You have 15 seconds more."

Gulping, " Look I was really desperate. It was a diplomatic state dinner. That trade deal was necessary . And we both know how diplomatic you are. A fake date with you would alone suffice to be the final nail in the coffin,we both know that.You probably would have wanted to rip their innards listening to their pompous stories. Not that I would need much motivation. Also Amrita is practically my sister so please don't be mad, he pouted.

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK AMARENDRA BAAHUBALI! AND I AM SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND."she seethed ,her eyes flashing.

"Exactly Deva. Also there is something I wanted to tell you for a long time.I look at you not only as a best friend but also much more than that. I.. I love you, Deva. Amara confessed looking at his feet nervously.

"I didn't want to out on a godforsaken dinner like that as our first date. " He mumbled.

When he felt a gentle hand on his chin forcing him to look up,Deva's eyes were filled with tears. "I love you my Amara." She said sincerely.

" But, she scowled stubbornly, I want a compensation. "

"Anything for my lioness.",gathering her securely in his arms."What does my queen need hmm?"

Deva shivered when his deep baritone voice dropped a few decibels.

"Cuddles,tea,rasgullas made by your own hands and a searing toe curling kiss. She said smirking. "Also not necessarily in that order."

A peacock danced joyfully in the garden of the royal palace as a shower of blessings dropped on the earth from the clouds,signaling the start of an everlasting relationship of love and devotion...

Hope you enjoyed it:)

ভাবুনা - bhabuna

Written for the @thebaahubalibakeoffchallenge

@bleedinknight @ruminationsofaraven

Thank you so much for this lovely event! I had tons of fun writing this.

My prompt was Dark AU: Baahu chooses the throne over Devasena. Enjoy!

ভাবুনা - To think, to wonder

There’s a moment where he almost chooses her.

She sees it in the way his eyes keep falling back to hers, in the way his hands twitch to hold her, in the way every part of him grows towards her like a plant thirsty for the sun.

(She’s never felt this way before…)

But unfortunately, Amarendra is too much a prince, a son, to do her any justice, and just as Ram condemned Sita, so too does Amarendra condemn her.

(...and she’ll never feel this way again.)

For the rest of his life, Amarendra wonders if he made the right choice.

If he asked his citizens, they would praise him. “Of course you made the right choice!” they would exclaim, bringing up his irrigation inventions, his cutting of the absurdly high Farmer Tax, his protection against Mahishmati’s enemies, both inside and outside. “Mahishmati is great!” they would say, looking up to him as a God.

If he asked his ministers, they would commend him. “Of course you made the right choice!” they would say, citing his pushback against the various tribes and countries that threatened the kingdom, his contributions to the treasury’s wealth, his patronage to the arts and sciences. “Mahishmati is powerful!” they would proclaim, looking up to him as the King.

...If he asked his mother, she would tease him. “Of course you made the right choice!” she would proclaim, pointing out his elated citizens, his satisfied ministers, his fulfilled duty to the kingdom. “Mahishmati is happy!” she would declare, looking up to him as her son.

Great, powerful, happy… Mahishmati would not have been any of these things if he’d made a different choice back then. Perhaps everyone is right. Perhaps he did make the right choice back then, even if it had been a difficult one to make.

Then he remembers Devasena’s eyes as she’d gotten on the swan boat, looking down at him as a man.

And he wonders all over again.

COOKIE BOX - THE BIG REVEAL

From your mods, @bleedinknight & @ruminationsofaraven:

When the bake off was nothing but a dot in the womb of our minds, we wanted to create a safe space for the participants to showcase their creativity without an ounce of judgement or favouritism. The pandemic had taken a toll on all of us and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate life as we live it, right here on Tumblr with you crazy folks!

The Baahubali fandom had brought us together and we wanted to share that bond with the rest of you and make you warm and fuzzy with these sweet treats. And might we just add that this is only the beginning. We have more in store for you in the near future.

We would like to thank all the participants for putting together the most scrumptious, dark, fuzzy, funky, flaky and gooey box of cookies!

Although some entries did cross the word limit, we honestly do not give a flying flippity flop about it as it's a done deal!

We couldn't have pulled this off without your participation and zeal for this life-changing fandom. We thank y'all once again for partaking in the brisk Baahubali bake off challenge - 2021.

Stay tuned for more baked goodies!
