#basically the entire plot of natm

[violetwolfraven]

modern day (Like highschool) Spirit animals headcanons?

Mkay let’s see what I can come up with. FYI this is kinda gonna be Meilin-centric because she’s my fav. Also this somehow turned into a drama club AU? But I think it turned out okay???

...

Meilin is a straight A student and is really good in every class but doesn’t have any friends because tbh she’s kinda a bitch.

And she’s okay with that I mean who needs friends right?

But her dad thinks she does so when she hits high school he tells her she has to join one club.

She’s not happy about that but she does.

She figures she heard the theatre club’s production of Mary Poppins was good, not that she bothered to go see it, but she decides to try that out because acting is easy right?

Wrong. Meilin finds that theatre is not as easy as she though it’d be and even just the choreography calls are hard.

Then on top of that there’s her fellow freshmen and Conor seems okay but Abeke is competition for female leads and Rollan is just plain annoying. Nobody else really even talks to her.

Rollan hates Meilin because she seems like just some rich entitled bitch who doesn’t even care about theatre which he finds super annoying because Rollan loves acting more than anything.

Even before the 4 of them make friends with each other, they end up friends with a college kid named Tarik because Tarik is really nice and is the club advisor but the members refer to him as Theatre Dad.

Tarik and his girlfriend Lishay starred in everything when they were younger but now they just mentor everyone else.

Also they run a website that partners young actors with professionals for anonymous mentoring. The kids get to ask questions and the pros get to give advice to without anyone getting too excited because the kids don’t know who their pro is and the pro doesn’t know anything about the kid beyond their audition tapes. Not everyone gets picked but a lot of people do. The 4 freshmen get signed up as soon as possible.

Conor gets picked first by someone who uses a wolf as a profile pic. He doesn’t know this, but it is basically that universe’s equivalent of like Chris Evans.

Abeke gets picked second by like Lupita Nyong’o, who uses a leopard profile pic.

Meilin gets picked by someone like Lucy Liu with a panda profile pic.

Much to his annoyance, Rollan is the last to get picked but he does eventually, by a less-known actress. (In my mind she’s like Mizuo Peck {the lady that played Sacajawea in natm})

Basically these actors advise them throughout the AU but moving on.

The next musical is Into the Woods.

Many of the older kids don’t have the advantage of mentoring so all 4 get cast in main roles.

Conor is Cinderella’s Prince.

Abeke is the Witch.

Rollan is the Baker.

And Meilin, much to her annoyance, is the Baker’s Wife.

Also Maya is a year older but she’s short so she plays Little Red.

But basically they all run into a little dilemma here because Rollan and Meilin really want these roles but they also fucking hate each other and while they can get through the scenes where they argue fine they can’t act like a couple for more than 5 minutes to save their lives.

Tarik is the director so he puts them in a room and tells them to figure it out or he’s going to have to move them to different roles.

And Rollan does not want to be Jack for some reason. Maybe because that insinuates that he’s small and dammit it’s not his fault he hasn’t gotten his big growth spurt yet.

Meilin doesn’t want to switch either so they argue talk and eventually work out their differences.

Rollan finds out that Meilin is guarded because she doesn’t have any friends. That she’s never had any friends.

Meilin finds out that Rollan thinks she doesn’t care and he’s defensive because he’s an orphan and theatre is all he’s got.

And maybe they’re not exactly friends after that but they definitely aren’t enemies anymore.

Tarik doesn’t ask what they talked about but he knows that their character dynamic is a million times better so he doesn’t really care.

But Abeke is curious and she drags Conor into it when she tries to investigate but it is Conor who comes to the (wrong) inevitable conclusion which is...

Meilin and Rollan had one decent conversation and now have crushes on each other.

So now Abeke and Conor are trying to get them together, when in reality, Rollan doesn’t have a crush on Meilin (yet) and Meilin is just learning to think of him as a friend.

But besides that, there is a sinister plot going on.

2 weeks before opening night, Maya is caught on the edge of an explosion because someone planted a bomb in her car. She’s alive but she definitely can’t perform so a girl named Drina gets the role. Oddly, she doesn’t seem to feel any sympathy over what happened to Maya.

The police don’t want to scare the kids so they don’t tell them but of course they all find out why Maya’s car blew up.

Meilin starts getting a little paranoid, knowing whoever it was will likely come after other main actors, too.

Sure enough, 3 days later, Finn, the guy who plays the narrator, gets a set dropped on him and is lucky to be alive. His understudy, Zerif, takes his part.

Over a series of ‘accidents’ that badly hurt a lot of actors, most of the remaining ones quit, leaving their understudies in their place. The 4 freshmen kind of close ranks, figuring they can’t trust anyone but each other.

Abeke drops her guard when Shane, the guy who plays Jack and the only other actor who hasn’t gotten off the cast one way or another approaches her and asks if he can stick around their group.

When Abeke asks her friends, Conor is willing to try to trust him, but Meilin and Rollan are pretty sure there’s something... off about him.

She should’ve just ask, but being a dramatic little shit, Meilin breaks into Tarik’s office and finds that Shane wasn’t going to be Jack. The guy who was originally picked was in a car crash before the cast list was even released.

Unfortunately, Meilin is caught in there, making everyone think she’s the one who’s been masterminding the attacks to get people who pay her on the cast. It does not help that one of Shane’s friends plants cash in her locker.

Rollan, Abeke, Conor, and Tarik are the only ones who believe she didn’t do it besides her own father, but none of them can prove it was actually Shane, who Abeke is feeling hella betrayed by.

Also it’s like 2 days to opening night and most of the original cast is incapacitated and Meilin is very possibly going to juvie and if she doesn’t get out Rollan is going to have to act alongside this basic bitch called Ana who he hates.

As a last ditch effort because he has faith in his kids Tarik tells the cops he did it and framed Meilin and he feels guilty for that but he was behind the attacks.

Of course nobody from the school believes it but it’s good enough for the cops and Tarik gets fired and Meilin gets her role back.

But at this point the 4 freshmen want their roles just a bit less than they want revenge.

So at like 4 hours to curtain Meilin confronts Shane because she knows he framed her and figures he knows she can’t prove it.

Little does Shane know Meilin has a recording device on her and she’s recorded his entire confession.

She goes back to the others with all the evidence they need to send Shane packing. Abeke is about to take it to a teacher when Meilin is like:

“Wait. We’re not going to reveal this just yet. Rollan is going to have it in his pocket the entire show and he’s going to play it in a microphone for the whole crowd to hear after finale.”

Rollan is s h o o k.

Like he met her like... a few months ago and she’s trusting him with her revenge and she’s like an evil genius?

He gets overwhelmed and kisses her.

*gasp!* Rollan apologizes but Meilin... doesn’t mind.

Fast forward they do the show without a hitch and the 4 of them are great and Abeke pulls off her quick change from an old lady to a beautiful witch flawlessly.

Conor and Meilin agree never to speak of the Any Moment scene.

When Meilin dies and her ghost is singing to Rollan he actually like... sheds a few tears??? Because the two of them are hella good and Rollan forgot she’s not actually dead.

Then they get revenge on Shane, who goes to jail and gets what he deserves.

So do all his friends.

So happily ever after.

For the asks: 7 for as many as you can think of and 10+12 together, please!

as many as you can think of turned into basically all the finished ones.. so this is a pretty long post. whoopsie

but hhhhhhhhhhhhh thank 💗💗💗

7 - Give us 3 random facts abt your s/i!

In no particular order of fandom…

Michelle (JJBA)

Dio taught her to read and write, something she refined greatly over the century without him

Her favorite place she’d lived during that time was Siberia. It was a lot easier to hide what she was.

She understands and adapts to modern developments much easier than Dio does… She and Telence bond over playing games together.

Vielcos (GW2)

As dark and gloomy as it was when she awakened, no one expected her to be as bubbly as she is.

Her favorite mount is her griffon, Lethallan.

She became a weaponsmith to create weapons for her beloved. Occam was her mentor, they’re very good friends.

Adelyn (Pokemon)

Ghost and Fairy pokemon love her, and she loves them

Ser Reaver was gifted to her as an egg from her sister

She has traveled the world and can fluently speak Kalosian

(Bonus!) Her voice claim is Annapantsu

Wildfire (Pokemon, alt)

She will throw rocks at you if she doesn’t like you

She has a soft spot for Eevee and its evolutions

She hates wearing clothes that cover her entire body

Ria/Arxi (KH)

Her name was supposed to be just until I thought of something else. I have another character named Ria.

When cheating at games, it’s only wrong if you get caught.

Arxi’s powers are inspired by Cole from DAI, and Nico Di Angelo from PJO

Jacira (TF2)

Her best friend is Marie. They get along surprisingly well.

If she’s angry at you, she will ignore you

Sleep schedule? What’s that?

Leilah (TF2, alt)

She has a very faint accent

She reacts very badly to being left in a room with Pyro or fire.

Some have suggested I make her a 10th class, but I like her more as a civilian than another merc.

Still unnamed NATM insert

She already loved history and mythology before becoming a night guard, but she really started studying more once she found out everything comes to life

She pronounces Latin correctly. Hard C’s- Kai-sar instead of See-zer, for example.

Sometimes when she’s thinking about school, she can see the words people are saying and the actions they’re doing floating in text around them like a book. It’s unsettling to others because she sits there silently staring just off to the side of them

Main Yakuza Insert

Her mere existence changes the plot of the story so I really play into that and make her a main supporting character. You can’t stop me

She’s not really part of the Tojo Clan, but everyone treats her like she is since Yayoi adopted her

Have you ever been threatened by someone smiling and speaking as if they’re talking to a child about going to get ice cream? She does that

Gift-From-Skies (TES)

She was named by the Khajiit to found her after her parents died. She goes by Sky most of the time.

Sometimes she gets so emotional she thinks she’s feeling Nerevar’s emotions at the same time.

After the eruption of Red Mountain, she keeps as low a profile as she can.

Agape (Monster Prom)

Her voice claim is Malukah

She’s more of a loner but will use her voice to get what she wants

She’s head of the drama club

??? Hawke (Dragon Age)

She gets overwhelmed incredibly easily, she almost started crying in the Deep Roads.

She and Anders often silently hold each other.

She is incredibly protective of Carver. She can’t lose the last member of her family.

10 + 12 How many s/i’s do you have? Do you use the same s/i for multiple f/os or make completely different ones? + Would you ever want to cosplay as your s/i?

Not counting my unfinished ones, I have 12. I use Michelle, Vielcos, and Arxi for multiple f/os, but only those three… All others have different s/i’s, as visible with Wildfire and Adelyn or Jacira and Leilah.

As for cosplay… If I wasn’t so afraid of being seen… Absolutely, with some of them. Sky, Wildfire... Maybe Vie.
