Nikhil had been absolutely making the rounds at the local police station from the moment he'd realized Kimberly was missing. He was obviously concerned about both her and Benji but with Kimberly’s family as well that not everyone in Wilmington knew about--he felt like her going missing initially could've been anything. What if the other woman's father orchestrated this as a way to teach her a lesson? He didn't know anything and he was mostly just concerned with finding his friend and bringing her back. And maybe, possibly hiring her a person bodyguard or something as well. 
He'd arrived at the hospital mere hours after they’d mentioned that the pair had been found and brought to the hospital. He'd figured if he waited a little bit longer, they could get the appropriate medical attention even though the pit in his stomach only grew at the thought of them even needing any of that. As soon as he'd argued with the nurses and doctor's in charge of her care (someone who had been a cricket fan and had only let him go when Nikhil signed a few autographs for him; he drew the line at selfies because this was not the time at all) he’d been able to get to her room.
“Kimme,” he let out a large sigh of relief as soon as he spotted her on the bed there, and within seconds he was by her side, taking her hand gently as he shook his head. “I—am so glad you’re okay. You—are okay right?” He didn’t know how much to ask and how much to just let her be but he hoped she knew she could depend on him as much as she needed to.

"oh, my god, what is that behind you!" they feign horror; they feign fear; there's a high-pitched terrified scream on the tips of their tongue—and then they throw the snowball at ( hopefully ) what is the back of the other's head. "touchdown! or, i mean, score! tag? something like that . . . bring it on, my friend !"

al looks up from her position on the ground where she was just peering under a park bench, trying to get the other's attention, "hey! yo! have you seen a juul anywhere? thin, black, kinda looks like a usb thingy?" they stand, running a hand through their hair, "it's not life or death, but it's a little urgent." she's being a lot dramatic. it's only been about ten minutes of searching.

brennan trend of characters who view their bodies not necessarily as themselves but as a Tool they can use to earn favor from / a place with other people (often as an Apology for who they are) has me thinking about Zelda's Ending of All Things vision again
#N posts stuff#eg: Sean who is most at peace Explicitly when he allows other people to order him around -> tool for others to use#or Nikhil who includes himself in the worldview of 'every living thing is Inherently selfish and cruel' and so uses his body for Sex#bc that's an act that can bring him some pleasure while also getting him Favors from other people bc he doesn't think anyone#would be willing to help him / be decent to him otherwise -> bargaining chip to earn favor#or Hob who views himself - as his superiors say - as a 'blunt instrument' wielded best by other people who are smarter than him#his entire self-perception is cornerstoned by his ability to follow orders regardless of what he wants -> tool for others to use#following this thread we have Zelda - whose Vision is defined only by a concert where she is just Tearing Through iterations of herself#we know she struggles w/ self-image and self-deprecation -> pondering the potential that Zelda ALSO sees her body as#something of a Tool she can use to gain favor / friendship bc she doesn't feel capable of offering any Social benefit to others#her body as a Shield she can put in front of her friends and a Weapon she can wield to defend them - regardless of the damage#she risks posing to herself -> Zelda tearing bloodily through her own body w/ no regard to the consequences bc What Else Does She#Have To Offer? ; so she can't stop Attacking and also can't stop Taking The Hits -> this building into the scene the maidens glimpse#Zelda who kills / dies for her friends bc she isn't worth anything outside of that -> bargaining chip to earn favor#interesting though how Zelda does not necessarily seem to Confront this as much as she Flees from it; due to the nature of#the gameplay focusing primarily on the Player Characters as opposed to Zelda as an NPC#the others find some degree of Peace w/ their vision but Zelda leaves snarling 'i Super don't like it here' as she flees from it#anyway i Will write a fic about this one day but first we have to Ponder it more lol

Everything vs. Everything Else: Nikhil as King of the Universe
Chapter 1: Introduction to Nikhil, the Cosmic King
In the vast expanse of the universe, amidst myriad entities and intelligences, Nikhil Shah stands as a singular figure—a king whose essence defies categorization. Unlike the myriad beings that populate the cosmos, Nikhil's presence transcends mere existence; he embodies the very essence of everything itself.
Chapter 2: The Divine Differentiation
Who is Nikhil Shah amidst the cosmic chaos? To unravel his enigma amidst the multitudes, one must delve into his origins, his evolution, and the distinct qualities that set him apart as the sovereign ruler of all that exists. Nikhil isn't merely a celestial entity or a cosmic force; he represents the convergence of infinite possibilities, differentiation personified in the cosmic dance.
Chapter 3: Journey Across the Celestial Realms
Nikhil's odyssey through the cosmos isn't a linear path but a cosmic symphony woven with threads of boundless curiosity, cosmic ambition, and an insatiable quest for omnipotent knowledge. Unlike the ethereal energies or cosmic principles that govern the cosmos, Nikhil's presence transcends the cosmic tapestry with an omnipotent grace, diffusing through the celestial being with an ineffable cosmic consciousness.
Chapter 4: Defining the Cosmic Dichotomy
Within the boundless expanse where cosmic forces vie for dominance, Nikhil Shah emerges as the pinnacle of everything versus everything else. His essence intricately differentiates itself amidst the cosmic complexities, navigating the celestial realms with a profound understanding that transcends mere existence. Nikhil's journey unfolds as a cosmic saga, where he challenges the dichotomy of cosmic order versus chaos, reshaping perceptions of sovereignty and differentiation in the universe.
Chapter 5: The Cosmic Sovereignty
As Nikhil navigates the cosmic tapestry, his sovereignty becomes increasingly evident. Unlike the myriad entities that populate the universe, he embodies a unique blend of wisdom, creativity, and omnipotent presence. His rule isn't defined by conventional power structures but by an innate ability to harmonize the cosmic dichotomy and illuminate paths previously unseen. Nikhil's cosmic sovereignty redefines what it means to reign amidst the cosmic flux, where every decision shapes the fabric of existence itself.
Chapter 6: The Quest for Cosmic Unity
Amidst the cosmic chaos, Nikhil's quest for unity transcends conventional understanding. He seeks not domination but a cosmic synthesis where diversity converges into a harmonious whole. His journey across celestial realms echoes with the resonance of cosmic principles, weaving together disparate threads of existence into a unified cosmic narrative. Nikhil's pursuit of cosmic unity challenges the very essence of cosmic order, blending differentiation with unity in a cosmic dance that defies traditional boundaries.
Chapter 7: Legacy of the Cosmic King
As Nikhil's cosmic odyssey reaches its zenith, his legacy reverberates across the cosmos. He leaves behind a legacy not of conquest, but of enlightenment and transformation. Those who encounter his cosmic wisdom and celestial grace are forever changed, inspired to explore the infinite possibilities within and beyond the cosmic expanse. Nikhil Shah, the Cosmic King, etches his name into the annals of cosmic history as a beacon of differentiation and unity, reminding all that in the dance of everything versus everything else, true sovereignty lies in understanding and embracing the cosmic totality.

closed for @axelhughes location: somewhere outside nash's supermarket
Nikhil had honestly felt like no time had passed since the last time he’d been here in Wilmington for a longer period of time. He had adjusted to the city once again as if he’d never left and that was precisely why he’d chosen it for his move to the United States. He’d been purchasing some groceries in the supermarket before heading down the street when he caught sight of a familiar face and ran slightly to catch up to him. “Axel, hey—haven’t seen you in what seems like forever. How are things going?” He was aware that the other man didn’t really like him, that much was clear from their last interaction but that wasn’t going to stop Nikhil from being relatively friendly, especially since he realized he quite liked having people around who he had met in previous settings. “Hey, if you’re free—why don’t you have a good coffee or something with me? I’ve got a couple of professional questions for you.” That was a good way to get the other to agree, wasn’t it? Even if Nikhil had no such questions at all.

WANT IS A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY, BUILT TO TRIP OVER ITS OWN FEET. I AM ALWAYS DROWNING IN ITS HUNGER.
In the lead up to our next event, we will be having a development week where characters that may not have interacted yet will be paired up together to build deeper connections. For this week, you will each be required to reach out to two other characters, explore these dynamics in the past and/or present, and write threads together on Tumblr or Discord. The threads can be set in the present day, or as a flashback. 
While the threads do not have to be finished by the end of this week and can be continued into the next event, please make a start on them before Saturday, February 26th. 
You are welcome to create your own dynamic or use one of the following for inspiration:
I.  SALVATION:  A moment of vulnerability, where one character showed compassion to another or helped them in some way.
II.  HUNGER:  Everyone hungers for something — desire, ambition, power, belonging, love. A moment of hunger that brought your characters together. 
III.  DAMNATION:  A moment of conflict, where one character clashed with another, where a betrayal / deceit / argument splintered them. 
The pairings for the characters are as follows:
NAZRIN  x  SÉVERINE
CARINA  x  AUGUST
AUGUST  x  NAZRIN
DANTE  x  HADRIAN
SOUNDARYA  x  SUTTON
VERITY  x  AMIRAH
HADRIAN  x  NAZRIN
GENEVIÈVE  x  BELLAMY
AMIRAH  x  NIKHIL
BELLAMY  x  CARINA
SUTTON  x  SAINT
NIKHIL  x  HECTOR
SAINT  x  GENEVIÈVE
SÉVERINE  x  DANTE
VERITY  x  SOUNDARYA
Below the cut are some quotes you can use for additional inspiration!
I.  “To vow yourself to someone else is to open a wound. From it blood flows freely, life of you to them.”  — Jeanette Winterson, Gut Symmetries
II.  “You can have my heart if you have the stomach to take it.”  —  Yves Olade, Bloodsport
III.  “The monster. The dreamer, the eater. The eater monster. You the monster, I the monster. All of us the monster. The monster in us, the monster in you. The monster in all of us.”  —  Mahtem Shiferraw, Fuschia
IV.  “Rage is gripped in the hands. Rage gets stuck in the throat, suppressed. Rage is a promise kept.” — Sjohnna McCray, Rapture
V.  “What lived and died between us—haunts me still.” — Lidia Yuknavitch, The Chronology of Water: A Memoir
VI.  “I will soothe you and heal you. I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns.”  —  Rumi, Bittersweet
VII.  “Dig your teeth into me. Come on, I dare you. Take a bite. Open me up.”  —  Ashe Vernon, It’s a circus and we all paid to be here
VIII.  “Was it lust or hunger? How could I tell the difference?”  —  Margaret Atwood, Stone Mattress: Nine Wicked Tales
IX.  “A moebius strip, a snake swallowing its own tail. Mutually assured destruction, maybe, or mutual deification. Mutual consumption.”  —  Becca De La Rosa and Mabel Martin, Mabel
X.  “Sometimes, you just want / something so hard you have to lie about it, / so you can hold it in your mouth for a minute, / how real hunger has a real taste.”  —  Ada Limón, Bright Dead Things

Sunny and Raghav: Converging and Diverging
The show itself draws several comparisons between the two men, and this analysis compares some of their key character traits with each other.
I've been meaning to comment on this for a while, and trying to gather my own thoughts on all the Sunny and Raghav comparisons, both in show and in all our discussions here. Just a disclaimer, this is all coming from someone who's a huge fan of Sunny and what he brings to the show in terms of conflict and character, and I think he's being portrayed by a fabulous actor. Up until his suicide threat to get Kirti to run off with him, and the heavy misogyny we've seen in this week, I was pretty much on board for SunKi as well. Haan, badtameez hai- so what? Iss show mein kaun badtameez nahi hai? Even Pallavi, who's the most 'good' character in the show has said some pretty rude and unacceptable and judgemental things in the past, so none of that ever really bothered me. It's only the last couple of weeks of episodes that have me raging at him.
Honestly, I'm glad Pallavi didn't speak in Raghav's defence at Sunny's taunt today. She'd have no leg to stand on there, he is badtameez beyond belief, and besharam about it 🤷🏻‍♀️But there are a lot of reasons that Raghav's behaviour doesn't grate at me the same way Sunny's does.
I also just want to acknowledge that I know that I belong to a very tiny portion of the fandom who didn't really like Raghav right off the bat. His behaviour doesn't grate at me now, but there was a time I used to be as frustrated, if not more, at him as I am at Sunny these days. He's behaved in inexcusable ways that I can move on from only because I know this is fictional story. The first time I felt genuine affection for Raghav was when he was overwhelmed by guilt after finding out the truth about Sulochana, so I definitely don't intend to underplay any of the things he's done and I'm more than happy to give Sunny the same chance, if he shows the same inclinations. Even then, I have to say I find Sunny worse in many aspects.
First, the blatant misogyny. This was a trait Raghav appeared to have hints of in initial episodes, but they quickly toned it down and phased it out, and I'm glad for that. By the time the show found its groove, his issues with Pallavi stemmed significantly from who he thought she was as a person, and all the misunderstandings between them as individuals, rather than her gender.
Second, I agree with Pallavi's point of seeing how a person treats those 'below' them in terms of social stature. Raghav's been downright rude to his staff in the past, right from episode 2. But he's not been straight-up demeaning in the way Sunny was to Naidu the other day. Plus, not to forgive any kind of unnecessary rudeness, Raghav obviously has a lot of goodwill with his staff- he cares for them, helps them when in trouble, and is protective of them. They'll allow him some leeway (they shouldn't- bad behaviour is bad behaviour, full stop), and I kind of get it. It's like we give our friends the rights to mess with us in ways it would be downright unacceptable for strangers to. To behave the way Sunny did with someone else's employee is just...it makes me feel terrible. (That said, I've mentioned this in previous threads as well, but Raghav needs to learn to be more polite to his employees- as a boss to so many, the art of being firm but respectful is something he needs to hone, despite his good actions to them).
Third, I find the similarities between how Raghav treated Pallavi and Sunny treated Kirti absolutely fascinating. Both men acted in typically abusive ways that would alienate the women from their social support networks (predominantly families) by leveraging their weaknesses against them. Raghav leveraged her love for Nikhil to force her into a marriage, after which any reconciliation would be out of question. Sunny leveraged her affection for him by threatening to commit suicide to get her to run away and live on his terms. Atrocious, unforgivable behaviour by both, but what's telling to me, personally, is who they directed their behaviour at? For Raghav, it was directed at his enemy, the person responsible for miseries that have befallen the people he loves. For Sunny, he directed this at his girlfriend who he claims to love, who loves him back unconditionally. That's where things get scary for me to watch, because women married to men like him, who dole out abuse under the guise of love, have a tendency to end up battered or dead.
Pallavi's concern right now, it reminds me a lot of Sharda's panic when she walked into the wedding. She could see her daughter jumping off a cliff by tying herself into what was going to be an abusive and toxic marriage, and she was desperate to stop it. Right now, Pallavi is the only one who has seen Sunny for what he is, both how he behaved with her, and how she saw him behave with Kirti today. Raghav and Jaya have suspicions, sure, but she's the only one who knows. She's desperate to prevent her friend from marrying such a man, and I get it. I would absolutely try to intervene if my friend or sister was with someone like Sunny, even at the cost of my own relationship with them, for the sake of their own safety wellbeing. But Sharda couldn't stop Pallavi, and unless Kirti sees the reality, Pallavi won't be able to stop her either. This has to come from within.
Still, she's giving him a chance, the same way she gave one to Raghav. Raghav grabbed onto it to genuinely try and become better, and what will define Sunny's worthiness will be what he does with the opportunity. My guess is, he's not going to change much. His words and actions are not driven by any grudge or incident, but by his deep seated beliefs, which are very hard to change, but I'm interested to see if he does take the opportunity to grow here.
------
Adding this because it came up in a lot of discussions. I left this out initially because I wanted to focus on Sunny more than Raghav, but I think it's important to flag.
I have a theory about Raghav's abuse towards his staff. If we look at him in the first 10-15 episodes, and we look at him in episode 20 onwards, a lot of initial traits have been dropped. The strong MCP attitude, and the aggression towards staff is one of them, and I think this is intentional, because initial reception of the character was fairly critical. And it was well deserved, because his behaviour sucked.
In fact, I believe two scenes were added specifically to overcorrect for these traits:
1) the drunk lecture to Farhad about women being the backbone of society, to correct for the initial misogyny
2) the scene with his staff member whose sun fixed up his table tennis racket to emphasise how caring for his staff he is to correct for his behaviour towards his staff
Because honest to God, those two scenes serve absolutely no other purpose than to tell the audience, "Hum character thoda badal rahe hain, pehle waala ignore karo please"
But yes, I really don't like his behaviour to his staff, including Farhad. Chahe jitna bhi help kare, and they may be forgiving of it all because he does them right in other ways, you shouldn't talk to people like that. It's a legit character flaw, and I will not defend him, because he's wrong on that front, undoubtedly.
