"When we lost your mother, I swore to protect all that was left of her, but I never thought that that would be a child like you. Everything I was taught told me you were wrong, but I made a promise. So I did my best to accept you and help you." "Accept me? You told me to cover up, to hide." "Yes, until we can fix everything. And we still can. We can cover those up and put everything right again. I'll tell Mira and Zoey that it was all a lie, an illusion by Gwi-Ma to break us apart." "No. No more hiding. No more lies!" "Rumi, we can still fix this."

I´ll be joining art figth this year!!

I´ts my second year doing art figth i´m so excited, let me know your users so i can attack you!!

[marianab7]

I kinda wanna write a fluff Polytrix fic where they're sitting on their epic couch after the whole Gwi-Ma fiasco, and they're all processing everything

Zoey is trying to keep everyone's spirits up

Meanwhile, Rumi is having a mental breakdown about... everything

Losing Jinu, her friends finding out about her patterns, destroying the honmoon (she didn't think she'd be able to make a new one, so she's trying to convince herself she just repaired the original one instead of making a new one)

I am unsure where the Polytrix would go but I'd figure it out xD

[marianab7]

So, we know regular citizens can still see demons under certain circumstances.

And most likely the demons show up mainly in Korea bcs that's where the hunters live.

Combining those two facts, my theory is that there are just thousands of clips online of the Huntrix killing demons that the fans assume are advertisments for the group. And the entirety of Korea is used to seeing their Kpop darlings bashing skulls on the street.

Imagine a tourist coming to Korea and seeing a kpop dance group behead someone on a roof.

_____

Rumi, fighting a hoard of demons like the queen she is.

Tourist: "What the Fuck. Isn't that the lead of that famous kpop group?? Why isn't anyone else freaking out????????"

Regular Korean Citizen: "Hm? Oh that's just Rumi. Yeah they do that sometimes, ignore 'em."

Huntrix Fan, excitingly making a tiktok of the fight already: "AHHHHHHHHHHH-"

_____

International Huntrix fans are so goddamn jealous of their Korean counterparts.

K-Pop Demon Hunters Headcanons

- Rumi and Mira were both privately educated; Rumi because of Celine’s fear about Rumi’s patterns being discovered, and Mira because her family is uber wealthy

- Mira and Rumi didn’t get along together when the band was first put together, because of this. Mira had a deep-seated distrust of anyone who she considered to be like her parents, and Rumi’s reputation as music royalty and her isolating tendencies were red flags in that respect

- The two had many creative differences, and frequently fought, but the only thing they could agree on was that they both were insanely protective of Zoey

- Zoey doesn’t need protection, she can handle herself just fine, but she grew up an only child, and both Rumi and Mira are the closest thing she can imagine to sisters so she doesn’t mind

- Zoey isn’t just torn between her culture and her upbringing, she’s torn between her parents too. A child of divorce, her mom lived in South Korea and her dad in California, and their custody agreement was split, so Zoey went to school in the US while with her dad and spent the summers with her mom. This means she didn’t get to hang out with people a whole lot in either country, and while people thought she was interesting, they didn’t share her interests, so she was pretty isolated

- Zoey is a big Sunlight Sisters fan because it was something she could bond with her mom over, so meeting Rumi and Celine for the first time was an experience.

- Mira has an older brother that she doesn’t speak to anymore. She was cut off from her parents after they refused to accept her for who she is, and he picked their side. Mira pretends it doesn’t bother her, but will admit she’s closer to her friends than she ever was with him. He on the other hand has a daughter that LOVES Huntrix and doesn’t know Mira’s her aunt, so she punishes him every day by listening to Mira’s music

- Mira outright rejects luxury items. Her parents’ wealth bothered her growing up, so she frequently uses her fame and money to support small businesses and charities, and would happily wear cheap clothes over designer, and even a sleeping bag over a bespoke gown. The most expensive things she voluntarily wears are the concert costumes, but they’re okay because even those are “luxuries” her parents would never approve of

- Rumi bought them all loungewear, including the fun patterned pajama sets, which all the girls frequently wore on their downtime. The other girls originally thought it was a quirk, not realizing Rumi used it as a way to keep herself covered even in private.

- Bobby was planning to leave the music industry after being a manager for so many bands that tore apart, but Celine brought him in to keep the girls together. He’s terrified of what failure will mean for them, not because of the demon stuff (which he doesn’t know about) but because he cannot take seeing another group of people he cares about become nameless strangers to each other and their fans

- Huntrix accidentally started a wave of self-defense classes becoming popular amongst their fans after letting slip in an interview that they use martial arts and fight training to stay in shape. It was covered up with the brand of being hunters, but honestly, all of them kinda dig that their fans could defend themselves if need be

- Mira was the first one of them to get recognized in public after the band got popular, because of her iconic hair. The interaction was super sweet, but all three started covering up when going out in public after that in case they got caught fighting

- Zoey is probably the most active on social media out of all of them, which she uses as a way to decompress, and has multiple fake accounts so that she can interact with content online without being swarmed by fans

- Rumi loves plants, but isn’t good at keeping them on the best watering schedule, so Zoey found an app where she can track the plants and set reminders for herself to care for them

- Mira and Zoey have a lot of inside jokes with each other as Rumi hangs out with them less and less during their downtime before her patterns are revealed. Rumi treasures the first inside joke all three make with each other after that because it truly is a sign she doesn’t have to keep walls between the three of them anymore

- The fans notice a significant change in Rumi’s style after the events of Namsan Tower, as it becomes less modest and practical. Some like it, some don’t, but all of them appreciate how much more comfortable she looks on stage afterwards and they love that for her

- Sussie (the magpie) and Derpy (the tiger) come to live with the girls after the final showdown with Gwi-Ma. Sussie loves Mira, who happily lets the magpie hoard things in her room, and Derpy can frequently be found napping with Zoey. On one occasion, it became a group nap with all three girls leaning on Derpy and the tiger was in heaven

- Derpy’s OCD does lead to some funny moments though. He recognizes that the girls’ shoes need to be neat, and he lines them up, but doesn’t realize they should be paired together. After multiple instances where the girls each sport mismatched shoes outside, they now have to check every time that the shoes match when lined up

- Sussie’s hat collection grows as each of the girls continue to make him different ones for different events, even making him something to match their stage costumes, but his favorite hat remains the one Jinu made. Rumi pets him knowingly every single time she catches him wearing it, because they both miss him

- The girls very nearly refuse to record a studio version of “Takedown”, because of everything that was happening at the time of writing it, but eventually agree to do an EP with it and “What It Sounds Like” at the request of the fans. It is a win when between the two songs, the fans massively prefer the latter

- To recover from the game show slide snafu, they return to do the Spicy Challenge. Out of the three, Rumi has the best spice tolerance, and blows Baby Saja’s performance out of the water with the host crawling off the stage in tears begging for help. The spice company sponsors a show after that and Rumi has a lifetime supply of hot sauce that they keep in the penthouse. The show is aired, and Rumi becomes a meme, which makes Bobby so proud

- For a long while after Namsan Tower, the girls are frequently asked about the Saja Boys and their abrupt disappearance, especially Rumi, who is often implicated to have had a relationship with Jinu. She denies it every time, but her eyes always get so sad so no one believes her and the reporters learn to stop asking

- On the world tour they did before the events of the movie, the girls did a show in Los Angeles and Zoey got to show her friends all of her favorite places growing up. They even drove past her old high school, and were very surprised to see a message on the school sign commemorating the concert, for no other reason than because the school is proud of their alumni

- Also while in LA, Zoey goes on a rap battle tv show and goes absolute ham on her opponent, which is where the image of her “rapping scarily” comes from. She gets invited to collab with a bunch of rappers after that and is even offered an opportunity to do her own solo album, but she turns that down because she loves singing with Rumi and Mira

- The girls get offered the chance to return to the MET Gala, and Rumi blows everyone out of the water by actually tracing her patterns on with body paint, and wearing one yellow contact lens to really show off her “inner demon”. She makes the top of the best dressed list and it becomes a makeup trend on social media

I’d love to hear what other headcanons y’all have!

Yapping about K-pop Demon Hunters

So I watched KPDH for like, the 10th time since it came out and I was thinking in the kind of things I´d like in a possible sequel (hopefully we’ll see one soon).

This are just personal takes, I’m not a writing expert or anything, just a fan, so if you don’t like something its ok, but let me know your opinions, I would like to read them ;D .

Things I would Like in a sequel:

MORE of Zoey and Mira: I think they have so much potential to be developed further and see more of their backstories, also MORE of the Huntrix as a group, don’t get me wrong, I like Rujinu as much as everyone else, but I’d like to see a possible sequel focused more on the friendship aspect of the group.

Rumi´s Backstory: I need to know who their parents are, how they met, how they died (if they are, in fact, dead) and how Celine relates to all that part of the story.

Celine as a villain or antagonist: I think she has so much potential to be a good antagonist representing the repressive parts of the demon hunter´s teachings, maybe her being opposed to the new Hongmoon and wanting to go back to how it was and making a deal with Gwi-ma in the process or something like that.

Rumi´s Demonic powers: I just want to see her flying and teleporting like Jinu and the Saja boys, her powers have so much potential to make epic fight scenes.

MORE Bobby: he´s just the best, I would like to see him reacting to the fact that his girls are bad-ass demon warriors.

Things I would be neutral about in a sequel (I depends on how they do it)

The Saja Boys returning: It would be nice if they come back but I like them as the arquetypes and clichés of the K-pop Industry that they represent, if they give them actual personalities it would be great tho.

Jinu coming back: I think his character got really complete by the end of the film, so ,if he came back, it would be great but I’m okay if he doesn’t.

Thing I wouldn’t like in a sequel

International Demon hunters: I’ve seen this idea going around tiktok and twitter and I feel that the story still have things to tell without going the "Trolls 2" path, plus korean culture is a big part of the movie so i feel that if there is something like "international demon hunters" it would shrink the importance of that aspect.

A next generation of hunters: I think that the story hasn’t explore the group that I currently has to its fullest so I feel that a new group would complicate things even more

a very big time skip: I feel that, if we do get a sequel, it should be like months or a year after the events of the first movie, there are a few things that are still fresh to the characters so a very big time skip would fly over all of that.

A prequel: I mean, I would like a prequel, but not right now, I’d prefer it to be in a comic, a special or something. ill prefer a sequel with flashbacks more than everything.

That´s very much all let me know if you agree or not i would love to read your thoughts.

-Their group chat name changes every week: ➤ Zoey STOP Going Live → Huntrix Anonymous (We’re Not Okay) → Jinu Said WHAT Now??? → and most recently: Please No One Flirt During Dance Practice 😭

-If one of them cries, all of them cry. Once it happened on stage and they had to take a 5-minute intermission(blame a surprise fan project + Jinu smiling at Rumi in the VIP section)

-Rumi and Mira get weirdly competitive during photo shoots (Zoey records everything and adds TikTok music)

-There’s a “Who’s the Most Famous Today?” whiteboard in their penthouse. Mira wins when a Vogue article drops, Rumi when a quote goes viral, Zoey when she sneezes on TikTok.

-They once had a “no romance for a month” pact. Rumi broke it in 2 days when she blushed at a Jinu post. Zoey documented the downfall in a TikTok trilogy.

-Rumi leaves the group chat every time Mira and Zoey tease her about Jinu. They always add her back in. Every. Single. Time.

OKKKKK that's all I have for now. Keep streaming the movie and a03 writers, PLZ UPDATE UR FANFICS. I'm on my knees. OK BYEEEEEE(in Eda voice) 🩷💜💛.

How Kpop Demon Hunter's revitalized three overused heroine archetypes

If there are three heroine types that are overused in media, that would be outcast learns to embrace her differences, I say what I want because I just don't care, and cute, quirky, and adorkable

Despite each Huntr/x member being one of these archetypes, the movie handles all of them much better than other recent examples

Rumi felts like an outcast because she's inherently different from the other girls, but what makes her situation more interesting is that she isn't obviously different. She passes for normal. She appears to fit in.

Her struggle isn't just wanting to be accepted, but also knowing that she's only accepted based on the "perfect Rumi" she presents and isn't sure if she'd keep that acceptance if people see what makes her different. There's a lot of nuances about how Rumi can't fully connect with people because she feels like she can't be honest with them and how isolated she feels even though she's surrounded by people

I usually have a few problems with characters who just say whatever they want, because most of the time, the narrative plays this as "Look how cool this character is. They say what's on their mind because they're so unbothered." And usually that just makes the character look like a bitch because they don't care how their words affect others

For Mira, this personality trait is played completely differently. Mira isn't blunt because she doesn't care. Mira's very direct, because she cares so much. The second she feels like something's bothering Rumi, she immediately approaches her to ask what's wrong. She wants to confront problems as openly as possible because that's how much she cares about her friends

Most of us have probably heard complaints about the quirky heroine who's always nice and positive and how oversaturated that character type is. And yet, Zoey's genuinely endearing. Despite fitting that trope perfectly, her personality feels more genuine about it

Her more quirky moments were reserved for lightheaded scenes and even during more serious scenes, Zoey's positivity is meant to show how she's the heart of the group. She tries to be the one to keeps the group from giving up despite their issues. It also helps that she has a clear serious side. When the other girls were arguing on the train, Zoey was quick to remind them to focus on the battle

A Zoey quote that stuck with me is "[Takedown] won't unite our fans if it can't even unite us." Wow, Zoey, that was actually kinda deep and very true

While each girl's base concept are tropes we've seen before and very often, it really feels like Kpop Demon Hunters put a lot of thought into deciding how to play off of these character traits so it feels new and refreshing
