#cass max-ernest and yo-yoji

[inmydr3amz]

Can you imagine the main three on a field trip to an art museum? Like, Yo-Yoji making fun of the statues for various reasons—poses, the fact that a lot of them are naked and have small d—, Max-Ernest trying to explain the significance of the piece and Cass chastising him for being immature (while secretly finding it kind of funny).

i caved and made a secret series side blog

i found this book god knows how many years ago.

well my mom found it. she bought it at a thrift store and gave it to my sister- which i stole from her, as one does.

now i own two copies of each book AND i own the bad series (haven’t read yet)

i’m starting to reread the series now, this series honestly means a lot to me and i think about it constantly!! and i hope i’m not the only one!!

idk what this blog will offer, i wanna rant about my babies.

Forgot to post the Terces Trio!

Cass' cap actually looks good. Yo-Yoji has dyed hair now. And Max-Ernest still is bad at jokes.

My Secret Series Headcannons (because I've loved this series since I was a kid)

Cass is demiromantic/sexual. She thought something was wrong with her when she was a kid because everything on the movies and in books were talking about love, and she didn't really understand it. It's partially why she went Survival-Cass (and contributes to her canonical pick-me phase where anything remotely feminine is 'bad'). She eventually falls for Yo-Yoji though, after the two become good friends.

Yo-Yoji is bisexual. His gay awakening was falling for one of his bandmates. He absolutely tells everyone, okay? He's the embodiment of PRIDE. This man used to dye his hair rainbow on pride month before Max-Ernest convinced him to keep it ("Yeah but what about having rainbow all the time? It's not like you're only queer during June. How 'bout that?"). Though Yo-Yoji eventually goes back to dying his hair neon green and black. Yo-Yoji piercings. His parents aren't too happy, but Cass and Max-Ernest think they look great.

Yo-Yoji is absolutely a SoundCloud rapper. Also, his band takes off as a sick punk garage band. They eventually get around to doing tours or Alien's Rock. Yo-Yoji wears Alien's Rock merch in public, and shirts with his face on it, even if it's a little cringe.

Max-Ernst isn't gay, he's Achillean (male version of Sapphic). I absolutely think he'd spend therapy session after therapy session trying to logic down his attraction, but there would be some outliers in past experience that confuses him immensely ("I mean, I thought Ms. Mauvais was pretty, but I can't tell if it's because she's an attractive person or that I find her attractive..."), so to end the debate because his therapist is probably getting tired of him, he settles on Achillean. He's scared to tell Cass and Yo-Yoji, but they accept him with open arms (Yo-Yoji has no idea what it means at first, he just thinks Max-Ernest is part-Greek or something) (Yo-Yoji temporarily wanted to have something greek about him too so he isn't left out).

Owen is fluid in his gender, and sometimes goes by Elowen if he wants. Like, Owen prefers he/him, but other pronouns (even neos!), he's fine with. As long as Owen's being addressed with respect in mind, he's fine. Also, Owen absolutely dresses up for any and every occasion, regardless if it's for the Terces Society or not. Him and Yo-Yoji absolutely bond, and Owen drives Yo-Yoji to pride when Yo-Yoji's parents get too busy also his family isn't the most accepting.

Amber is a lesbian. Her gay awakening? The Skelton Sisters. Change my mind, I dare you (you can't).

Cass and Yo-Yoji are on and off dating. It always feels like the right thing but the wrong time. Maybe there isn't a right time.

The Secret Trio flinch every time they see someone wearing gloves, even if it makes sense with who they are. They always double-check the lunch food to make sure the gloved lunch ladies didn't put something into it. They skirt around construction/manufacturing workers. Max-Ernest can't seem to want to wear the white gloves that are a part of his magician costume.

The Secret Gang have code names for each other! It was groaned upon when max-Ernst brought it up, but Cass and Yo-Yoji eventually start vibing with it, especially Yo-Yoji. Cass is The Orb-acle (reference to the fact that Cassandra could tell the future, much like the Oracle, and the Sound Prism), Max-Ernest is Apollo (bad jokes, spiky hair like the rays of sun, is the god of truth "It's Max-Ernest like Max-Earnest, which basically means truth. How 'bout that?") and Yo-Yoji is Diyonysus (chill dude, chaos maker, is very cool, and has a perfect placement for a pun).

[soundprisms]

also i did this last time and it mostly worked out well so i am going to make a list of stuff i want to see in bad news

OWENN WHERE THE FUCK IS HE. WHY IS HE HERE. is he still with the terces society. does he know they're related or does he just like to join secret societies for fun

MORE LEIRA AND MIRA DEVELOPMENT PLEASEE I MISS THEM

lastly and more importantly. i need somebody to make max-ernest and clay actually sit down and talk to each other properly. i don't care if we have to beat them up to do it

[huhgftduftfghghjhu]

Max-Ernest: I’m here and I brought my son *holds up pc* and chocolate *takes a bite of chocolate*

Yo-Yoji: this isn’t healthy

Cass: are you referring to the baby or the chocolate?

Yo-Yoji: BOTH

A Not So Secret Secret

Yay! This is that oneshot I have been working on lately! I know not a lot of y’all are familiar with the secret series but you should read this (and leave me a comment) anyways

Read it here on AO3

Summary: Cass knew it wouldn’t be an issue. She knew reasonably that no one would care. It was honestly obvious. Her, unruly, tomboyish Cass who broke up with her one and only boyfriend days after they started dating because it was ‘too weird’. It was transparently clear. Her mom was suspicious, asking with raised eye brows why she didn’t have a boyfriend. Her friends had to be suspicious, what with her seemingly total lack of interest in romance. There was gossip at school, although those occasional rumors about exclusively her were few and far between. Everyone was suspicious. So why was she so nervous?

[al-val-meadow]

didn’t amber go there at the end of the series? Or at least it was heavily hinted at, haven’t read it in a while so idk. It should’ve continued tho imagine if they took Daniel not Daniele or glob. Or even one of the main trio itd have been so interesting. Or if the camp from bad series was actually the midnight sun.

I wish Bosch had continued this plotline. Like, the Midnight Sun runs a school of brainwashed kids and we never hear from them again!?

Has anyone read the secret series by pseudonymous bosch? I need someone to fangirl about it with.

[cronusisnowhere]

I NEED HELP!!!! I have three ideas for the terces trio, and idk which to choose!!

1. Max-ernest and his un-funny-ness. I don't know his reaction yet. Some advice?

2. Scooby Doo AU? I'm not 100% sure for Yo-Yoji. What does Fred & Shaggy even do???

3. Taking a break during a mission. I don't know if it fits with cass' personality. Don't think this would happen.

It's been long seen I have read the secret series, so I want to make sure no one is ooc.

[justmeinabigolworld]

Does anyone remember the Secret Series? You know, the books by Pseudonymous Bosch? Those were such good books, and I read them all the time as a kid. I actually met the author at a book signing, and we had this whole conversation about why he was wearing sunglasses when he’d specifically said in the first book that wearing sunglasses is a bad idea for disguising yourself. He said he’d worn sunglasses so that they wouldn’t know it was him, since he’d stated that sunglasses were, y’know, a bad disguise. He signed some of my books, and I still have them. Here’s one:

Yes, more chocolate!

I sent him a letter after that. I’m afraid to say I was kinda rude in the letter. I just wasn’t a fan of the then-new Bad Books (I’m still not a fan, I think they lack the charm of the originals, but that’s okay). I was also confused as to why Cass was seemingly shipped with Yo-Yoji despite me shipping her with Max-Ernest. Now that I think about it, I bet Max-Ernest is actually gay. So yeah, I was a bit rude, but I was a middle schooler (sixth grade, I think). He didn’t reply, but that’s okay. He’s probably too busy to read and reply to every letter sent to him.

Where was I going with this? I don’t know. Still, I think the Secret Series is one of my favorite middle grade series, and I absolutely LOVE middle grade books in general. I want to write middle grade books one day. My goal is to do a book signing at my local independent bookstore one day! And who knows? Maybe I’ll write something like the Secret Series.

[surrealisticcereal]

Glob and Daniel-Not-Danielle have a group chat figuring out what in the world is going in with Cass, Yo-Yoji, and Max-Ernest.

Who else is in it? Benjamin Blake, though he knows slightly what the fuck is happening with those three and just stay there for the theories

[soundprisms]

im actually so happy cass and yo-yoji broke up a while ago and max-ernest is dating some random guy we've never met. its realistic to these characters and also just in general way too many ya/mg books act like everyone's dating pool is restricted to people they knew in middle school
