image description under the cut:

[Image ID: six rectangular gifs of Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley from 9-1-1, desaturated of all colors except their skin, with an emphasis on the shadows. Each gif is made of a Spotify layout of a South Asian song, and has the album name at the top. The song name is written around the middle, a green heart at the end of that line, and underneath is the artist name. Below the play buttons is "Buddie's Airpods." At the bottom of the gif is a gray box for lyrics, and they are written alternatively in white text for the original lyric, and blue text for the English translation:

GIF 1: Buck watching Eddie with amusement as Eddie turns his head to look up at him in 6.04 as they listen to the forest ranger's conversation. Eddie scoffs out a laugh, looking away as Buck looks up towards the ranger. The album name is Jannat, the song name is Jannat, and the artist line reads, "Ezu; Harshdeep Kaur."

The original Punjabi lyrics read, "Kal mahi di akhan naal akhan char ho gaiyan, othe jannat de dekh darwaze aaya main, dekh jannat de darwaze aaya main." The English translation reads, "Yesterday, I looked into the eyes of my beloved, and it was as if i was at the doorway of heaven, look, i've come to the doorway of heaven."

GIF 2: Eddie watching Buck, Christopher and Denny fondly before ducking his head on a smile in 3.10 blended with Buck smiling widely at Eddie reuniting with Christopher in 4.14. The album name is Ik Lamha, the song name is Ik Lamha and the artist line reads, "Azaan Sami Khan."

The original Urdu reads, "Dil savarta hai tere khayalon se, jagmagata hai tere ujaalo se, raqs karta hai dil tujhpe marta hua." The English translation reads, "My heart is adorned by thoughts of you, it is illuminated by your light, my heart dances as it pines for you."

GIF 3: Buck's gaze dropping away from Eddie after their kitchen conversation like it's painful to look at him, blended with an exhaustedly-smiling Eddie telling Buck that he needs to move on because Eddie has in 5.11. The album name is Sanam Teri Kasam, the song name is Sanam Teri Kasam and the artist line reads, "Ankit Tiwari; Palak Muchhal."

The original Urdu reads, "Tere bin naamumkin, apna guzaara hai, har dua mein maine, tujhko hi maanga hai, tera jaana jaise koi baddua." The English translation reads, "without you it is impossible for me to live on, in every prayer I have asked for only you, you leaving is like a curse."

GIF 4: Eddie laying on the pavement after being shot in 4.13, his hand stretching out towards Buck, blended with Buck with a blood-soaked face, breathly harshly as he watches Eddie's eyes flutter closed. The album name is Marjaavaan, the song name is Tum Hi Aana (Sad Version) and the artist line reads, "Jubin Nautiyal."

The original Urdu reads, "Khatam hogi nahi mitke, kahani yeh kabhi jaana, kahin aisa na ho jaaye, bina deedar main marjaavaan." The English translation reads, "This story won't end upon being erased, my love, may it not happen that, i die without laying eyes on you one last time."

GIF 5: Eddie saying "Almost" in 2.18 in response to things getting back to normal, blended with Buck telling Carla that "the team feels off without Eddie" in 4.14. The album name is Guru, the song name is Tere Bina and the artist line reads, "AR Rahman; Chinmayi; Murtaza Khan; Qadir Khan."

The original lyrics read, "Tere bina beswaadi beswaadi ratiyan, o sajna, rookhi re o rookhi re, kaature kaate kate na, o hum dum bin tere kya jeena." The English translation reads, "without you the nights are tasteless, o beloved, they are dry and withered, they don't pass by, o beloved, without you, what is life."

GIF 6: Eddie tersely telling Buck that "You're 100%. Lawsuit proved that, right?" before walking away, blended with Buck watching Eddie leave as his lips flatten into a sad expression. The album name is Malang - Unleash The Madness, the song name is Phir Na Milen Kabhi and the artist line reads, "Ankit Tiwari."

The original Urdu reads, "Chalte chalte karta salaam aakhri, rab se ab toh maangoon bas dua yahi, hum phir na milen kabhi." The English translation reads, "I give my final goodbye while walking away, now the only prayer I ask from God is that, may we never meet again."

If you're a Buddie fan and you listen to Bollywood music, what song do you think represents them? I am really curious.

I was just listening to "Dhadak" and I totally think that's their song.

[fourthnattawat]

just saw a parallel edit of the bbs rooftop confession scene with naina from yjhd as pran saying “tum kyun nahi samajh te ki agar main tumhare sath ek aur pal raha toh…mujhe tumse pyar ho jayega…phirse” and i will never be the same again

Pat Pran + Main Agar Kahoon for jaan's birthday @surajmukhis

I remember you saying "my eyes are like nimboo was sequeed into them- red after I watch Om Shanti Om" when I said it was my comfort watch. Hopefully this (belated) birthday present combining your two loves will make you smile when you think of this movie

[meru-nilaya]

guy: hello yes I'm your average kollywood mass/masala movie hero. yes i have beef with my parents because I'm not good enough for them and never reach their standards. yes my love life is very sad and difficult to start because i've only ever dated this one girl in my entire life. yes i have like 100,000,000 guy friends though. also I'm a dissapointment to my family but eventually I get accepted by everyone i care about for who I am.

[Image ID: four alternating gifs. Gifs 1 and 3 are of Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley from 9-1-1 episode 5.05, "Peer Pressure" and are colored purple. Gifs 2 and 4 are of Vikram Batra and Dimple Cheema from Shershaah and are colored pink:

GIF 1: Eddie telling Buck that, "You're stuck with us." His hands are braced on either side of the table as he tilts his head towards Buck, smiling reassuringly.

GIF 2: Vikram tilting his head reassuringly as he looks down at Dimple with a playful smile after drawing a line on her hair's parting to signify marriage. The subtitle reads, "You're stuck with me now."

GIF 3: Buck scrubbing his finger across his mouth to hide his wide smile as he acknowledges Eddie's and the rest of the team's words about him not going anywhere.

GIF 4: Dimple, with tears in her eyes, shaking her head in fond exasperation at Vikram's filmy tendancies as they laugh together. The subtitle reads, "Really."

Seven Sentences Sunday

I have been tagged at some point months ago but I didn’t have anything new to share and now I do, so here’s some shameless self-indulgent kkhh au to please the soul <3 

“If Mr Buckley and Mr Diaz have finished their truly riveting conversation,” Ms Briganza says loudly, forcing both Evan and Eddie’s heads to shoot up from where they were glaring at each other, “I will introduce our new text for the semester. Romeo and Juliet. It is a love story we all know, of course, but what makes it so memorable is that it will mean something different to each and every one of you. Which brings me to my first question…” Her eyes scan the classroom, watching critically as everyone retreats into themselves to avoid her scrutinising gaze. Evan is suddenly fascinated by the new sheet of paper in front of him, and he dutifully starts copying down the title.

“Mr Diaz, what does love mean to you?”

Eddie is sitting two rows behind Evan, and yet Evan can already visualise the wide-eyed look he must be giving Ms Briganza, caught out like that.

“Love,” Eddie starts, “love is friendship.”

The words make Evan stop writing suddenly, turning around to face Eddie. His view of Eddie is partially blocked by Shannon’s wild curls next to him, and yet he can still perfectly see Eddie’s gaze flickering in his direction.

“If they can’t be my best friend in the world, then I can never fall in love with them. Because love can’t exist without friendship, so it follows that love is friendship, right? It’s simple, really,” Eddie continues with a small shrug and soft smile as he briefly meets Evan’s eyes over Shannon’s head, which has now turned to stare at Eddie too, “love is friendship.”

“What a beautiful thought, Mr Diaz,” Ms Briganza gushes, yet Evan can’t help but tune her out. He hadn’t paid much attention to the question when it was asked, hadn’t ever really thought about it at all in his life, but now, as the class start turning to page one of their text, Evan allows himself a brief moment to close his eyes and consider the question himself. He knows immediately, without a shadow of a doubt, that if he was asked this question now, there is only one answer he could give.

What is love? It’s simple.

To Evan Buckley, love is Eddie Diaz.  

(may I also suggests pairing this snippet with this and this by @oneawkwardcookie because these are absolutely what inspired this scene)

‘RRR’ Review: An Indian cinematic spectacle makes for one of the best action and buddy dramas of our decade

RRR is one of the best movies I have seen in the past decade, hands down. Short for “Rise Roar Revolt” (and a play on the three leads’ names), the film is a stunning cinematic masterpiece and exciting, balls-against-the-wall adventure epic told with a lot of heart, grit and some emotionally powerful moments all woven through a real political struggle. The Telugu language Indian action film is a…

The subversion of faen fatale in Last Twilight; and why I love it

Can I just talk for a moment how much I appreciate P'Aof dismantling faen fatale tropes, as well as the notion of 'guys and girls can't be close friends' that is so prevalent in Asian society? Because not only did he do a fabulous job with Ink in Bad Buddy, but he's going above and beyond with it in Last Twilight. We have Gee, who could have so easily been someone who was interested in Day, and come in between their relationship (I was praying for her to not turn out to be a faen fatale when she was introduced). But instead, she's a great friend to Day, and she helps him regain another piece of his life by pushing him to join her at the bar. And then we have Porjai. She's Mhok's ex girlfriend, and the narrative has presented chance after chance for her to regain feelings for Mhok, and present problem for Mhok and Day in so many different ways, but none of them were ever taken.

And part of this feels very intentional to me. Showing us two female characters that could have very easily become barriers to the relationship, they didn't. We see it in the preliminary interactions between Day and Gee, where there's some time where Gee's character could have easily gone one of two ways. And you will not believe how immensely relieved I was when the show made it abundantly clear that Gee is a friend to Day, and nothing more. Similarly, Porjai is introduced to us as Mhok's girlfriend, and later as his ex. It would have been so easy for her to 'catch feelings again', like when Mhok comes to her aid with her ex (forgot his name, won't bother reminding myself). I feel like the show is trying to put the point forward that guys and girls can be friends, and that the girl doesn't always have to be a homewrecker.

And let me tell you this, I absolutely adore that P'Aof is doing this. The trope of female homewreckers, (or faen fatale as we like to call them) is extremely prevalent not only in bls, but in asian media in general. I've seen it everywhere, from bollywood movies to add drama, to serials that have been running for half my lifetime, to keep the viewers watching. I've watched it enough times to have a genuine hatred of it. There's a number of issues with the trope that I'm not going to get into right now, but I'm sure you're all familiar with. But the greatest point is, that it often takes away from a good story. It's a tired trope that serves only to add drama and disinterest the viewers from the story. Last Twilight (and Bad Buddy too) has had a very concrete storyline from the start. The purpose and aim of this story have been clear from the beginning, and in the most recent episode, the show has started to dig a little deeper into Day and Mhok's stories, relationship, and shown us how they're growing together. A faen fatale would absolutely ruin the slow, delicate journey these two are on of growing together, which is where I come to August.

Honestly, I was a little afraid when I realized that Day liked August. Because Day and Mhok have been slowly, but surely growing closer, and they're slowly letting down walls built up due to grief, and loss. But August only serves to help us further understand Day. I'm struggling slightly to put this into words, but in the single episode we had with August, I've learned so much more about Day, and how he works. And, his introduction also highlighted Mhok's caregiving instinct once more, his tendency to always put Day first. There are rare instances when introducing a past crush does so much for a story (another being Bad Buddy, P'Aof the wonder that you are), and I'm absolutely eating this up.

The last scene absolutely crushed me in a way that only Ep 5 [4/4] bls by P'Aof can. Once again, the resubversion of the Faen Fatale trope. When I first saw August, my first reaction was expecting faen fatale, 'and now he's going to take away Day's attention and Mhok's going to leave the flower and we'll all be sad". Well, the last part happened but it was so much more heartbreaking the way it was done. Once again, proving how much better a story can be without the trope that with. I won't lie, I'm still scared about how the knowledge that Day likes August will impact Mhok's actions toward Day. But, it's more of a fear for the characters, and less of a fear for the narrative, as in I'm not afraid that it will take away from the story.

Bad Buddy holds a legacy for subverting an innumerable number of tropes, and I'm glad to see that Last Twilight is holding it's own in the department too. The purposeful subversion of faen fatale made my heart incredibly happy (have you noticed how much I hate this trope? You probably have. I'm sick of it. Most Indian kids are)

Side note- I've seen a number of posts ghostshipping Gee and Porjai, and while it may not be very plausible, we did get InkPa, so it's never impossible

Somebody said yesterday that the basketball scene from yesterday was like the basketball scene from the Bollywood movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. And now I can't help but see parallels between that movie and Buddie. Eddie is Rahul, Buck is Anjali, Shannon is Tina, and Tommy is Aman. I'm sorry 😭
