#baahubali fandom

[carminavulcana]

I have a really, really, really sad Baahubali plot bunny doing cartwheels in my head. Should I write it?

It's like a what if scenario in which everything gets worse but everyone (except Bijjaladeva) also gets redeemed.

Please, anyone who is still engaging with Baahubali, and you would like to read an Amarendra-centric story, please tell me.

[amarsenadiehardfan]

i m backkk

Soo after a long long hiatus from tumblr, gotten my fandoms messed up, and i am backk to baahubali fandom ,,

As Rana said, we have to keep it alive!!

Sooo what all happened while i was gone???? Spill it up

Ps. A lot of blogs of baahubali fandom which i used to follow have sort of disappeared!!?

Just found @avani008 from before! (How areeee you?!)

[queen-of-knowhere]

Hell yea. Nothing like Baahubali memes to celebrate RRR's win😌🤌🏼.

Translation

Utsav ki taiyari karo - Get ready for celebration.

[luxshine]

So, if you are in the RRR fandom, you may be familiar with my Drrragon!VErse (That can be read here)

where Rama Raju is a gold fire dragon that is convinced he can't be the last dragon on Earth, because he has a soulmark that shows him he has a soulmate SOMEWHERE.

And I realized this year... I have a ton of extra headcanons about him, and a ton of ideas about drawing him so... here's me, showing him as a baby dragon, before the ugliness came to his life, when he was just... himself. The family's baby even if he was the older brother.

This is one of the images I'm making. Baby Dragon Ram, probably 3 or 4 years old in human years (Which makes him barely hatched as the dragon side of dragon borns in this universe is a LOT slower growing up than the human side) discovering Butterflies for the first time.

(YEs, this means that, by the time of RRR? Ram's dragon half is, at most? 16 years old. a hormonal teenager. And if you have read the fic? You know now why he acts like he does)

[herawell]

8, 10, 13 and 15 for asks to spread love for either Mahabharata or Baahubali (or both!)

Baahubali

8. Best thing about canon

How it combines both aspects of the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and leaves so much open for fandom to play in.

10. A popular character you actually really like and why

Sivagami! My tragic flawed queen regent who stays badass and awesome even into middle age, unlike a lot of female characters who might have been pushed into one archetype or another.

13. Recommend a fic (can be your own!) that features something you wish was written about more

Veera by TheSkyAtMidnight, featuring Kumar Varma who was so brave and deserved better!

15. A topic you never get tired of discussing

What Sivagami’s reign must have been like and how her ruling style changed as she aged

[ambidextrousarcher]

Thanks for the tag @enigma-the-mysterious !

I have a fanfiction.net account that I have long stopped using, not least because I started disliking the site, as well as the character whose name I had used as my username on that site.

I had a Wattpad phase when I was 15. I haven’t opened that in years.

Definitely have an Ao3 account! AmbidextrousAecher

I do not like either reading or writing smut, maybe it’s part of my manifestation of aroace news.

I used to roleplay with someone who had been a friend of mine, online here on Tumblr.

I have beta read fics and fic related scenes for both former and current friends.

I have definitely published an unbeta’ed fic! Most of my early works in the Mahabharata fandom were unbetaed, as well as most of my fics for all other fandoms I have written in.

I have definitely written self-indulgent fics. A King’s Fortune is one I can think of immediately, though that one is angst central right now, as well as Let Not Sleeping Skunks Lie, which is the height of self-indulgence.

I usually write grammatically correct sentences, even in comments, something I have been teased for. No keysmashes, sorry.

Yes, I have left kudos on many fics twice, at least in the form of comments. @starlightasteria and her amazing fics are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I do love me some good fluff sometimes!

No, I have not written for same sex ships. I don’t ship in general, with some very rare exceptions, all of which are somehow cishet ships.

Fan fiction is definitely a genre of its own!

Definitely multifandom. Mahabharata, ASOIAF, Jodhaa Akbar, Baahubali, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, have fics I have written fro them that are published, including two crossovers. I am writing a fic for the Thor (Marvel) movie, as well as have ideas for fics on the Ponniyin Selvan fandom, which I intend to execute. Oh! And I also have a fic for the TV serial Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi, though most of that fandom would flame that fic, because it is very biased to the male lead, being in his PoV with a lot of canon divergences.

I enjoy research before writing! Have spent many happy hours in that.

If a mental outline counts, I keep an outline of sorts, yes.

Who doesn’t wait for feedback after publishing?

Haven’t received or commissioned art.

Have about 8-10 unpublished fics, mostly having Jaime Lannister in multiple universes.

I actually…like editing?

Oh, most of my ideas strike right before bed, in the middle of the night, or when I startle awake after a nightmare.

I don’t drink alcohol, tea or coffee, so those two are out.

Yes, I think I have a fic that deserves more attention. Darin is one of my favourite pieces that I have written, and hardly anyone reads it. (Understandable, it’s a Mahabharata crossover with the Hunger Games)

Yes, I hope to publish my novel series which is solely from Arjun’s PoV.

Sorry for not reblogging, I wasn’t able to, app glitch. Credit for the bingo to the original poster.

[aprofoundrickmaniac]

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.

[angel-hawthorne]

Just fucking around with the video editor. And voila, here's something for the Baahubali fandom. Bhallaladeva would definitely do something like this. He's basically dissing the hell outta Mahendra. Bijjaladeva is the hype-man. At first, I thought about doing this with Vikramadeva and Bijjaladeva. Another version would be with Devasena instead of Amarenda. Let me know what y'all think.

Enjoy, guys!

[carminavulcana]

I recently read your Silences and insanities AU. Oh M'y God. I am in love. Will you please write the Baahubali X Salaar fic! I love your soft, long-suffering, noble Baahu. Make Deva the same please. He will go any lengths to protect his varadha. What is Deva was Baahu?

Hi anon!

Thank you so much for reading the Silences and Insanities AU. It is very special to me. I didn't realize people were still reading Baahubali fic. I'd love to know more about who is still active in the BB fandom. Can we please connect?

Now, about the Salaar X Baahubali fic, well, something is going on in my head. I'm still working it out. But if there are takers for it, I'll write it! Especially if you want me to characterize Deva like I characterize Baahu! Let me know! And I'll do it.

If you have any ideas, please share with me. I am as intrigued by this idea as you folks!

[amarsenadiehardfan]

THE BAAHUBALI FANDOM IS UPDATED!!!! THREE FICS WERE POSTED ON AO3. (Since I last updated the site fandom)

WARNING: The one is angsty. Nothing else.

[queer-tuwahwatchman]

Thank you, Baahubali Fandom

I've been going through stuff going on in other fandom I'm a part of and was a part of for a long time. You guys are so much nicer. I have yet to encounter the hate and vitriol that other fandomes have growing them like a cancer. You lot are wonderful!!

[herawell]

12,13,16,18,22 for a fandom of your choice (for the choose violence asks) please!

Doing this for Baahubali!

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

Sivagami (not unpopular but Devasena is by far more beloved). Man is she a flaw character, but goddamn no one else had stage presence like her.

13. worst blorboficiation

Bhallaladeva. Especially people thinking he did nothing wrong or had it so hard, especially when he’s the only character with two parents and who grows up in the lap of luxury.

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

Characterizing Amarendra as clueless and

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

The complexity of Sivagami and Kattappa’s relationship — genuine loyalty and admiration, but there’s a power dynamic that his status as a slave which we cannot ignore.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

The period when they were kids and Baahu and Bhalla were still friends

[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.
