[hallo-anon]

I say this nicely and with love. HOW DARE YOU GET ME HYPERFIXATED ON A BAND AU THAT HAS ALMOST NO CONTENT! again this is not a bad thing. I love the idea -Sune Anon

I DID THIS FOR YOU!!!!

141!College/Band Au Part 3

C/W: one mention of abu$e

Since part 2, I've been working on Alex and Farah, so there here now.

Here are my totally original ideas on how everyone knows each other

Quick note, I am American, so that'll be the system I'll be using. This will also probably be very confusing but this is how my brain works, enjoy!

Gary and Simon have known each other the longest. They met when Simon was 7 and Gary was 9. I haven't figured out the whole story yet, but it's in the making!

Then Simon met Price. Price and Simon’s father were friends. QUICK NOTE, most abu$!ve people are extremely manipulative. Price had no idea what Simon's father was doing. When Simon was 10, his father was investigated and arrested. Price then fostered Simon, going on to adopt him when he was 13. So original, I know.

Now here’s my best at making this chronological…

Going a little back in time, Kyle met Alex in highschool. Kyle was 16 and Alex was 18(Simon would’ve been 12). I don’t know if y’all's schools did this, but we would do collaborative projects with higher grades. During a science collab, Alex and Kyle were paired, and Alex was pleasantly surprised when he seemed to get the only competent student in the class.

In the same highschool is where Ghost, getting his nickname in 9th grade, met Kyle. Ghost was 14 and Kyle was 18. They met in band class, and Kyle took it upon himself to protect the odd freshman who always wears a face mask. Kyle and Roach, getting his nickname in 10th grade, were pretty much bound to meet,  Ghost rarely went anywhere without Roach. Roach was already in the highschool guard, so he knew of Kyle and Kyle knew of him, but this is how they actually met.

When Simon was 16, he was introduced to Nik. A year later, Price and Nik got married. That's how Simon met Laswell, who is actually the dean of the college. Funnily enough, Nik only goes by Nik and not Coach Price or something with his last name. Almost none of the students know their married. In fact Ghost is the only one that knows.

Now we’re moving into college. Sharing a public speaking class, Gaz, getting his nickname sophomore year, met Farah, who goes by Karim. Karim actually has no requirement for the class, but she had dreamed of trying to change to world for the better. Gaz would help Karim in perfecting her English. Kyle then introduced Karim to Alex, who was in an Arabic class. The two now study together, Karim helping Alex with his Arabic, and Alex helping Karim in her English. Shipping potential???

Kyle met Soap, given his name back in 10th grade, in their shared chemistry class. They knew of each other because of band, but here is how they fully met. It’s actually a funny story. Gaz, a criminal justice major, accidentally enrolled in the advanced chemistry class. When he saw a familiar face, he very quickly asked for help. I believe the words “Fuck, shit, fuck, shit, help me.” were said. Now Gaz, Soap, and Roach, being in a medical lab tech program, study chemistry together. Roach and Kyle then start studying biology and forensics together.

Next was Soap and Ghost. Ghost is a psychology major who was forced to take a math class for credits. He’s not really known for his math skills, so Gaz thought it was a good idea to introduce Ghost and Soap to try and help Ghost. It did not work. Ghost was too shy too proud to ask for help. But, it just so happened that Soap needed help in his literature class, and him being much more sociable, asked Ghost for help. Soap invited him to his and Alex’s, being a linguistics major, study group, and by the insistence of Roach, Ghost joined. Ghost never really talked, just sat there quietly and marked important notes and mistakes. This lead to Ghost joining Soap’s math study group with Roach and Karim, an engineering major. That’s how Ghost and Karim met, and they bonded quickly for Ghost standards. Ghost, once again, never really talked much, just listened and took notes.

Ghost and Soap actually became closer through the campus coffee shop. Each would stop by and one time, they synced. Ever since then, Soap would chat with him in the mornings even if Ghost didn't chat back, and sometimes give him one on one tutoring. That's how Soap found out that Ghost was just embarrassed and not an asshole.

Just to make everything clear: 

Ghost is a psychology major totally not to become a therapist to help other not go through what he did all alone and is the youngest(19) and has been in college for 2 years. He graduated early. He only goes by Ghost and barley anyone knows his actual name. He plays percussion, mainly the drums.

Soap is a chemistry major and is the second youngest(21) and is 3 years in. He also graduated early, but he took a gap year. Everyone just knows him as Soap, so he just accepted it. He is the color guard captain.

Roach is enrolled in a med lab tech program and is the same age as Soap(21). He is also in his 3rd year. He prefers Roach rather than Gary, so everyone calls him Roach. He is in the color guard.

Kyle is a criminal justice major and is 23 and has been attending for 3 years. He went to a community college for 2 years first. Kyle is half and half on Gaz, that's why I switch between Gaz and Kyle. He plays the french horn.

Karim is an engineering major and is the second oldest(24) and has been attending for 2 years. She is a transfer student from Urzikstan and had gone to college for 2 years there. Unfortunately, her credits did not transfer. She just goes by Karim. She's in the campus's Track and Field team.

Alex is a linguistics major and is the oldest(25) and is 1 year in. Before he enrolled, he served the US Military for 5 years. He doesn't have a nickname except the obvious ones, like Gimpy, Pegleg, shit like that. He's one the campus basketball team. It took a while for his teammates to trust his ability to play due to his prosthetic leg.

Price is the band director, but he also teaches Arabic, political science, and tutors Russian totally not just to be in Nik's classroom. He goes by Mr. Price, and is a retired veteran. Little head canon, any time he makes a joke, a student always says "Priceless".

Nik coaches the color guard, but he also teaches Russian, aviation and aerodynamics, and aerospace engineering. No one really knows what he did before he started teaching. He's has multiple rumors about what he's done, almost becoming the campus cryptid.

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

WORLD STOP—!!! EVERYONE!!! WE GOT NEW BLACK HAIR DABI CONTENT!!! MISSED HIM SO MUCH PLEASE 😭🖤

[vaguely-concerned]

can you even imagine what a fucking horror show the early game is from spite's perspective, though. not only is this funky forcibly severed little slip of the fade having to deal with the reverse cosmic horror of physical reality as perceived by a spirit and being trapped in it against its will -- existentially confused and disoriented and hurting and nothing makes any kind of sense, at the mercy of human cruelty at its most deliberately sadistic. and then the one source of comfort and compassion and some kind of safety and clarity that lucanis surely must have been to him in the ossuary despite everything just goes and shuts himself in his room inside with a seemingly passive aggressive number of locks between them and no explanation and won't speak to him and they're STILL in the fucking ossuary. rook came and found them and they could be free now (rook is here!) and still lucanis keeps them in the ossuary even though he PROMISED he promised they'd get out of there together!!! what the fuck DO you think at that point? like did he trick me that whole time??? he wasn't like zara before, so why is he doing this to me now? why isn't he saying anything? 'he won't move. I can't reach him'. at least in the ossuary they had a deal, a goal, a hope -- each other. at least he wasn't entirely alone, before.

this poor poor poor little spite spirit really was ferried into the real world like 'hey welcome to reality! as your first introduction to it you're first getting horrifically tortured and then getting to vicariously experience one of THE most distressing and harrowing psychological conditions the human brain can cook up for itself (a fully fledged and deeply entrenched freeze response flaring up with catastrophic severity due to an unbroken ongoing and unlikely to let up any time soon chain of Unfortunately... Recent Events). I think spite is being extremely reasonable and patient about the whole thing, when you put it into perspective. I'm not saying let him eat the self-lighting candles or anything, but he's got some extremely valid points along the way lol. spite is not only child-like, the metaphor work going on is a lot more pleasingly flexible and complex than that, but he is also helplessly existentially dependent on lucanis in a way that, if anything, is a heightened version of the way a child (or child part) has to depend on a parent to navigate the world and survive.

tl;dr: we truly don't give enough sympathy to spite for having to live in the head of lucanis dellamorte. a place even lucanis dellamorte would prefer not to be. to be fair to him I think lucanis would be the first person to agree with this lol

I am deeply appreciative of whoever in FFVII Ever Crisis’ team is vicariously living their Suave Vampire Boyfriend fantasy through Vincent. Really brings me back to my teenage years.
