Guys Indraprastha is giving me the feels—
It was transformed from Khandavaprastha, a dry land, to Indraprastha, the equivalent of Amaravati itself on earth.
It was the promised land that the citizens who followed Yudhishthira held on to. They abandoned their homes and their settled lives to follow him, to a dead land.
It was the Pandavas' karmabhumi. It was the city that Krishnaa's Shakti transformed from a barren land to a prosperous city, the capital of their empire.
It was where their children were born and raised.
And it still hurts my heart that they basically abandoned it after the war. I know extenuating circumstances forced them to, but they should have been able to rule from Indraprastha.
Or maybe they couldn't.
Maybe they couldn't step into Indraprastha because it reminded them of the happier years. At least Hastinapura's palaces hold the embittered emotions that fueled their rage to the great war.
Maybe Arjuna walking into Indraprastha with Krishna after the war is suddenly hit with the sweet ringing laughter of his children, or the jasmine tree that grew in Krishnaa's gardens. Maybe his eyes travel over the empty kitchens, remembering how his wives and sisters-in-law would argue over what to make for the family, but his ears ring in the haunting silence. Maybe he stands still in the rain, his salty tears mingling with the fresh rainwater, his eyes riveted to where his boys are chasing each other in the rain.
It reminds him even more of what they sacrificed to win.
Maybe he finally breaks down in Krishna's arms that night, because he sees his baby Abhimanyu in the moonlight, his head tilted as he asks in a childish voice, "Baba, why didn't you save me?"
Hastinapura is full of ghosts, yes, the bitterness of brothers and the jealousy of ghosts; but Indraprastha is even more haunting in its quiescence, because its ghosts are the memories of sweeter years, anklets chiming and young children laughing.

I think Veyadi should be allowed to kill Ruhi I think it'd make him feel better and also would make me feel better
#the archive undying#this book is killing me 🥲👍#the kitchen flashback..... hell#me yelling at sunai to git gud in regards to ruhi feels unfortunately hypocritical 😬#so veyadi can kill him and then the problem is solved

hi, i was summoned by your hamlet reblog. there's a bunch of stuff going on so i will try to be concise and not confuse you. this is very long though, and you totally do not need to read/answer this at all!!
ok so basically we open in Elsinore, Denmark, with two guards who have recently spotted a ghost that bears a striking resemblance to the recently deceased king Hamlet, not to be confused with his son, the alive (for now) prince Hamlet. now, this ghost isn't talking to them so they get Horatio (a college student and hamlets bestie who's visiting Elsinore) to try and talk to the ghost. Horatio doesn't really believe them until he sees the ghost and then yells at the ghost to speak, which the ghost still refuses to do. (side note: Hamlet is also a college student and his dad's death occurred when he was gone for college)
a little backstory: Hamlet's uncle Claudius has recently married his mother Gertrude. this unfortunate development has added to Hamlet's distress. his mom and uncle (now step-dad) both think it's high time that he gets over his father's death (kindly note that it is not high time, and has actually been less than two months). hamlet expresses these feelings of distress like any other college student, by wearing black, sulking around and bursting into dramatic monologues frequently.
a few more characters : Ophelia (Hamlet's primary love interest), Polonius (her dad) and Laertes (her brother). Polonius and Laertes both talk to Ophelia and ask her to stop receiving Hamlet's letters, and tell her that he does not really love her, he's a prince and won't marry her etc etc. she agrees to stop talking to him. also, Laertes leaves for Paris.
then, Horatio tells Hamlet that he saw his dead dad's ghost, and so Hamlet goes with him at night to seek out said ghost. they run into the ghost again and this time, it lures Hamlet away from the others. the ghost of his dad speaks to him, and tells Hamlet that his death was not due to natural causes but was actually a murder. you see, he was napping in the garden when his brother (Claudius, the uncle/step-dad) poured poison in his ear and killed him. he asks hamlet to revenge his "most foul and unnatural murder" and also points out that he must do this ASAP (you won't believe this but hamlet does not do it ASAP). at the ghosts request, hamlet asks Horatio and the guard to swear that they won't tell anyone about the ghost and now hamlet begins his master plan (i am using the words master and plan very liberally) hamlet also mentions that he thinks it would be useful for him to act like he's going crazy.
Ophelia tells her dad that after she returned Hamlet's letters and everything, he visited her and was acting crazy. this makes Polonius think that maybe Hamlet did love Ophelia and went mad because she rejected him. he goes to tell this to the king and queen, who were also concerned about hamlet's behaviour and called two of his friends (Rosencrantz and Guiledenstern) to hang out with hamlet and figure out the cause of his madness/cheer him up.
as soon as rosi and guild leave, polonius goes to the king and queen and tells them that he made his daughter reject hamlet because she was unworthy of him, and that's probably what made him go mad. Claudius and Polonius decide to arrange a meeting between ophelia and hamlet (they make it seem like these two just accidentally ran into each other) and they spy on the two. hamlet acts extremely rude to ophelia, calling her all sorts of names and saying he never loved her. after he leaves, Claudius and Polonius come out from hiding and they're like wow hes like mad-mad and also not in love with ophelia. Claudius believes that Hamlet could be dangerous and he decides that he will send him away to England.
Meanwhile, Rosi and Guild know that hamlet is a theater kid, and they invite and group of actors to cheer him up. hamlet has the genius idea of putting on a play that resembles his father's murder, and judging the innocence of his uncle based on how he reacts to the play. he does this because he's worried that maybe the ghost is not actually his father, but some lying devil and so he just wants to be sure. (another minor note: during his play, the entire time he's flirting with ophelia instead of looking at his uncle, and he's made horatio keep an eye on his uncle) he sets up the play with the actors, and as expected, his uncle gets extremely upset and storms out in the middle of play. this confirms hamlet's suspicions.
let's cut to Claudius for a bit, he leaves the theater very guilty and he tries to pray, but finds that he cannot. this is when hamlet sneaks up on him and you'd assume that now, he will finally kill his uncle right?? WRONG! hamlet doesn't know he cannot pray, and thinks that he's actually praying and if hamlet kills him now, he will go straight to heaven. Claudius doesn't deserve heaven, so hamlet does not kill him :)
hamlet goes to meet his mother (what he does not know, is that polonius is hiding behind the curtain to listen to the conversation between hamlet and gertrude. btw polonius did have gertrude's consent to do this) hamlet is very angry at his mom for marrying his uncle so quickly and he's shaming her for it when he hears some movement behind the curtain. he thinks this is Claudius and immediately stabs the guy through the curtain (except ofc, it was not claudius, it was polonius :) ) hamlet then asks his mom to promise that she won't sleep with claudius anymore. at this moment, the ghost enters and scolds hamlet for taking so damn long to murder a guy. this scene is super interesting to me because when hamlet is talking to the ghost, gertrude claims she cannot see it. i don't know if she actually couldn't see it or if she was lying and that fascinates me because either case would mean so much for both the mother and son. anyway, hamlet drags polonius' dead body and leaves. claudius finds out about this and asks hamlet where polonius is, and hamlet says (paraphrased) "hes at supper. hes not eating, he is being eaten. by worms. :)"
after this, claudius sends hamlet, rosi and guild to england. he gives rosi and guild a sealed letter that states that hamlet be executed immediately. they do not know the contents of the letter and only know that they are to give it to the king of england. more on this later.
news of polonius' death reaches his son and daughter. laertes comes back to denmark with a crowd of supporters to kill the guy who murdered his dad. ophelia meanwhile, actually goes mad, so this is another thing that laertes wants to avenge. he is ready to overthrow Claudius but Claudius is like bro its not my fault its all hamlet, so we should both plot to kill him.
but wait? didn't hamlet die in england? NOPE! while this shit was going down in Denmark, hamlet and co. were attacked by pirates and hamlet managed to escape. not only did he escape but also, found the sealed letter and switched it with a diff one, demanding that rosi and guild be executed instead. then he sent them to england and himself left for denmark. he sent a letter to horatio letting everyone know that he was returning to denmark and thats why polonius and claudius decide to work together to kill him.
as they read letters and make murder plans. gertrude comes in to let them know that ophelia's dead body was found in a stream. she says that ophelia must have drowned. (if im not wrong, its unclear if it was an accident or suicide, and @waitingforthesunrise hc-ed that maybe gertrude killed ophelia which is a super interesting theory!)
hamlet is back in denmark and he's chilling in a graveyard where there's two gravediggers, digging graves, as they do and making jokes while doing it. the grave they are digging is for ophelia but he does not know she's dead yet. he picks up a skull (that belonged to yorick, who was a court jester) and gives the famous "to be or not to be" speech.
laertes, claudius etc come in to bury ophelia and thats when hamlet is like oh shit. laertes jumps into the grave to give her a last hug. and hamlet being the dramatic bitch he is, also jumps in, saying no one loved ophelia as much as he did. the two start fighting and have to be pulled apart.
later, hamlet is telling horatio about how he caused the deaths of rosi and guild. osric, a court dude, comes to invite hamlet to a fencing match with laertes in front of the king and queen, hamlet agrees.
this fencing match is the result of the murder planning that Claudius and Laertes were doing earlier. they plan that laertes will dip his sword in poison so that his wounds are enough to kill hamlet. and just to be really sure, claudius pours some poison in hamlet's wine cup as well.
now during the fencing, hamlet hits laertes first, so laertes pours a pearl into hamlet's wins cup and asks him to drink, which hamlet refuses. the second hit is also by hamlet. to celebrate her son winning, gertrude drinks from hamlet's poison cup. laertes finally manages to wound hamlet with the poison sword, but hamlet gets mad and the two just start grabbing at each other. in this chaos, they accidentally switch swords and hamlet wounds laertes with the poison sword. at this point, gertrude collapses and dies. laertes admits he poisoned the sword and the wine, and that now both he and hamlet will be dying shortly. he also says this was all caludius' plan. in a fit of dying rage, hamlet FINALLY stabs Claudius with the poison sword. and just to really be sure, he also forces Claudius to drink some of the poison wine and Claudius dies. laertes also dies. hamlet, who is dying, asks horatio to stay alive and tell his story and then, he too, dies.
at this moment, fortinbras, king of norway bursts into the room and is like wtf (he's me). since everyone is dead, he takes over (if im not wrong). also, i would like to mention that fortinbras was mentioned previously, but just in passing. you see, his dad was killed in battle and he wanted to avenge his dad's death too but they asked his old uncle (i think) to calm him down. clearly, he did not listen to his uncle. i did not mention him before because tbh i don't fully remember the discussion they had around him. i also did not mention every single thing that happened because this is already way too long. i read hamlet recently but i've read a lot since then so i may have made mistakes so im sorry in advance. im also sorry for any typos etc, i did not proofread im exhausted. thank you for volunteering as tribute, i hope i did not bore you to death because the number of deaths by hamlet is already way too high
Omg it's been wayyy to long I'm so sorry 😭
I've read this so many times and always forgot to answer it properly but ruhi you're a fantastic and absolutely hilarious storyteller pls tell me more of these anytime I'll try my best not to take so damn long to reply💀💀
Anyways gertrudes character is soo fascinating, I kinda wonder if she was involved in scheming for king hamlets death along with claudius from the beginning tbh, (also if she did kill Ophelia, I wonder what exactly could her motive be?)
Speaking of Ophelia she really ends being collateral damage in all of these people's "master""plans" TT (I mean hamlet couldve just let her know of his plan instead of playing with her feelings yk? Also his complete lack of remorse at polonius' death...that was dark💀)
Also I wonder how hamlet found out the contents of the sealed letter. Rosi and guild ending up being yet more names on the collateral damage list 😔
Also what's he doing in the graveyard randomly anyways. Sus.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to other writers. Spread the self-love~🫶🏽(i know you have quite a few so it might be hard picking but i'm excited to see which you enjoyed writing most!🌻)
RUHI DEARESTTTTT THANKS FOR THIS ASK!!!!
OK SO. very hard to choose five fics. I enjoyed writing all of them for different reasons, but some of them make me prouder than others ngl 💓🤧
in no particular order (because id go crazy):
SECOND CHANCES (Taekyung/Daon/Shinwoo, Light On Me)
This is one of the stories I'm most proud of! It's the first story I wrote with a poly relationship, it explores Daon's feelings after the ending of the show and how he starts falling in love with Shinwoo too and struggles to make sense of it.
I love Daon a lot and it was very cathartic to delve into his journey, I put a lot of myself in this since I headcanon Daon to be demiromantic and I'm aro soooo yeah I had a blast and it always makes emotional when someone reads it <3
IN BLOOM (Pat/Pran, Bad Buddy)
My first attempt at writing Hanahaki, I usually don't like the trope so I had to modify it a little. In my version the disease is linked to the secrecy of your feelings, so you only die (or have to get treatment) if you don't confess, it doesn't matter if the feelings are unrequited or not.
This was fun and I cried writing it because once again I projected a little too hard onto Pran and his relationship with his mom, what can you dooo
MIKE WHEELER AND THE 5 STAGES OF DEALING WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND'S SECRET ADMIRER (Mike/Will and Mike & Max, Stranger Things)
IT TOOK ME A YEAR TO FINISH THIS ONE. The funny thing is that WEEKS after posting the last chapter I realized i had posted it exactly one year after the first, same day same month.
Anyway!! Once again this is projection galore, Mike is arospec in my heart and El is aroace, lots of queerness and exploration and friendship and conversations about feelings. Another cathartic journey for yours truly
Also I had SO MUCH FUN because with so many characters you can explore all kinds of dynamics and create some pretty funny dialogues <3
PAIN & PLEASURE (Vegas/Pete, Kinnporsche)
This is technically a series but I can't choose between Thorns & Roses and A Splash Of The Sun, they're pretty similar anyway. This is the Tattoo Parlor VegasPete AU, the vision came to me in a state of great horniness dream and now here we are........
I don't read much smut but I do like writing it when the right idea hits me. The thing I liked the most, besides the smut itself, is that I had to keep the characters IC even though their background is completely different from the source material, but people told me I did alright so I'm pretty proud of that!!
BEHIND THE MASK (Tin/Can, Love By Chance)
Oh I had so much fun writing this because Can is SO FUNNY TO WRITE!!!!!! He has no filter and Tin keeps popping up in his surroundings like he's trying very hard to make his life impossible, it was so delightful to write their exchanges
I love Tin and Can, they're one of my first Thai BL OTPs and will always have a special place in my heart!! 💓💓💓
Honorable mention to my GramBlack fics because I LOVED WRITING THEM!!!!!!! I wouldve written more but then. Oh well. The horrors
Thanks again for the ask 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

For, and, inspired heavily by @desigurlie.
Krishna knew that emotions were powerful. Too powerful, sometimes. Something so unpleasantly rooted in the body, tugging every soul further and further away from blissful, logical moksha.
Moksha was liberation from emotions. It was blissful logic, unfailing in front of all arguments save the chemistry of sentiment.
He had surrendered to its hold; he knew it was futile to fight such a battle; it could not be won.
Emotions were powerful, dangerous.
Especially so for his dearest Partha.
Arjuna had always been rather more firmly under the control of his emotions than Krishna would have liked. Everyone knew it: his Partha's emotions swirled inside him like a tempest, whether it be the highest joy or deepest sorrow.
He had adopted the stern countenance of the Preserver to impress upon Arjuna the need to distance himself from his emotions, but it was futile; to separate Partha from his emotions was to pry the living, beating heart out of him and render him no longer his Partha—just a husk of that beautiful, brilliant soul he adored beyond devotion.
And now—
Arjuna had spoken nary a word after Yudhishthira had narrated the tale of how Abhimanyu—oh Mahadeva, his little Abhimanyu, his child—had been killed.
Arjuna swayed, pale.
Krishna didn't have to touch his Partha's mind to tell the tempest that normally raged within his skin was now an earth-wrecking cyclone of grief and anger and pain trapped inside his nerves, flooding through each vessel inside his body in insidious agony.
"My son," he uttered quietly, his voice the only sound in the room.
And collapsed to the floor.
The cries of Arjuna's name faded to background noise as Krishna lunged forward on autopilot and caught him just as the archer crumpled to the ground. Krishna cradled the limp body of his best friend like he would a child, bringing Arjuna's head to rest on his lap.
Krishna pressed a shaking hand to Arjuna's neck, the other briefly ghosting over his curls, and almost sighed in relief. His pulse beat steadily, but of his mind, Krishna could not say.
His hand trembled silently as images—whether from the previous day or the next, he could not tell—flashed in his mind.
For now, Arjuna was still.
Krishna almost wished he would stay that way for a while longer, if at least to spare the raging waves of his emotions.
But there was divine blood in him. Arjuna could not lay unconscious for longer than a few minutes, by the power of the King of the Gods.
He opened his eyes, and what happened next, Krishna could describe only in increments, but it happened in a fraction of seconds.
First: the sluggish quiescence of having awakened. Then, a softening of the tension around his Partha's eyes, the ever-present love for his Madhava surfacing.
And then.
Then, the memories flooding back.
Arjuna leaped out of Krishna's arms, taking one wild look around at his brothers and the rest of the warriors, seeking confirmation that he wasn't dreaming. He went still, again.
There was not a single sound in the Pandava camp.
Krishna stared up at Arjuna, rising to his feet.
Something was lying in wait in the air. The sharp tang of ozone was in the air, waiting to be drawn out from the heavy silence.
Abhimanyu's ghost hung in the air.
Krishna reached out, wanting to stop whatever was going to happen.
A single tremor ran through Arjuna's shoulders. His voice was utterly silent as he spoke, arms winding tighter around himself as if he permitted no one to touch him. The storm within him had risen to an all-time high, scorching Arjuna's—and Krishna's—insides.
"I will kill Jayadratha tomorrow. If I do not, I will enter the fire on this very spot. Let those heavenly worlds not be mine if I do not fulfil this pledge of mine! Even if Jayadratha goes to the heavens or hell, I will slice his head off! Hear my pledge, all ye warriors!"
The loud twang of the Gandiva did nothing to calm the freezing flame set ablaze in Krishna's heart. He stared at Arjuna, watching the words settle into a pattern that wound itself around Partha's heart—the only way it would be freed was through death.
Jayadratha's.
Or his Partha's.
Krishna drew the Panchajanya with a shaking hand and blew on it. The tremors it wrought as Devadutta joined the blasting melody, a warning to all their enemies, was the only way Krishna could let his curdling horror and abject fear loose.
He cursed internally the Kuru's apparent genetic inability to go through life without swearing earth-shaking oaths.
Oh, he would support Arjuna. His mind was already racing with strategies and scenarios, laying out every possible combination of event.
He would stay awake all night to soothe his Partha's tears and take him where he needed to keep him sharp and focused for tomorrow because—
Because—
He couldn't lose his Partha.
The worlds could collapse, the seas might dry up, but as Krishna inhaled fresh lungfuls of air, trying to calm his racing heart, but he could not lose Arjuna.
Oh, you foolish, foolish man.
Krishna didn't know who that last thought was directed at: his anger at Arjuna's inability to stay out of circumstances where death hovered closer than he would like, or anger at himself for getting so attached that that blissful state of moksha seemed worlds away, so attached that his chest was wracked with grief, anger, fear and horror all at once.
He shut his eyes.
He could not lose Arjuna.
