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.

꒰ EVENT 001 ꒱ ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
the official holiday of love might be over, but romance is never truly out of season. with their ten year anniversary coming up, renee carlisle and her wife taylor moreno-carlisle are inviting the entire company, employees as well as all signed artists, to the love themed party of the year. having gotten married relatively privately, they have now set their mind on making their anniversary a happy occasion for everyone. keeping their plans to renew their vows at this occasion private for now, all everyone knows is that this event will include a live set by danai herself and endless love themed amusements for the guests to take their minds off of their daily struggles. renting out a gigantic old farm venue, they spared no expenses. from a fair with several love themed games and rides, to taking boats out on the nearby lake and feeding the swans or sending cute notes to your loved ones — there is no end to the amusements one might find here. there is only one rule, renee and taylor are asking guests to leave their phones at the front gate, wanting to keep this event private for the safety and comfort of all its more or less famous guests. but does everyone truly follow those rules ? who knows.
꒰ 001 ꒱ WHEN: in character, the weekend getaway takes place march 18 and 19. out of character, the event will take place from tuesday 14 march 4pm est / 9pm gmt to tuesday 21 march 4pm est / 9pm gmt.
꒰ 002 ꒱ WHERE: the carlisles rented out an old farm venue, spanning not only a vast amount of land and old barns but also considerable guest acommodations, so that all guests can spend the night there. the farm is about two hours outside of new york city by car.
꒰ 003 ꒱ WHO: all revolution records employees and signed artists.
꒰ 004 ꒱ HOW: muns are invited to post open & closed starters within this event starting tomorrow. you can use the tag revolution.event for all your event related posts, including starters, but also social media posts, lookbooks or anything else you might want to post. you are allowed to continue regular threads during this event as well. there will also be the option for your muse to send roses with notes to other muses, which will take place on discord, so keep your eyes peeled for that the upcoming days. more information on this will be made available through discord.
it isn’t all to often you get invited to an undercover vow renewal super bash, but it is certainly reality for everyone working at revolution records. so now it’s time for your muses to pack their things, maybe form some rideshares and make their way out of the city for a weekend of fun. generally speaking, they are invited to stay there from saturday around noon, until late afternoon on sunday. their stay, including accomodations and food, is paid for by the carlisles, who felt after their super private wedding the vow renewal party should be all the grander. the only thing they request is for all the guests to leave their phones at check-in. this party is expecting a fair amount of high profile guests and they are supposed to feel safe and free attending, just like everybody else. however, there might be some ways in which your muse could trick the system.
saturday is the time for partying and exploring the grounds. there is certainly enough time for them to get around to all the experiences the pair has prepared for them as well as catch up with all their labelmates and co-workers. they might also send out roses with notes to their ( more or less ) loved ones, that will be delivered on sunday. sunday will start with a celebratory brunch. for this reason, guests have been asked to follow a semi formal dress code, encouraged to wear outfits with red or pink colours to celebrate the love. the brunch will be followed by the actual surprise vow renewal, featuring a touching speach by cfo nikhil, and celebration afterwards. there will be champagne, there will be cake and pictures taken by the hired photographer but most importantly a performance by danai herself.

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.

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

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.
