HWAT THE FUCK TAYLOR SWIFT GOT ENGAGED? TO THAT FOOTBALL GUY????? ??

We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

I hate that the "x reader" or "x Y/N" style of fanfic has become sooooo popular, partially because it's just not for me and partially because they clog general non-fic related tags and those authors seem allergic to the "read more" function on this website, but ALSO because I believe that you should have to go through the trouble of creating an absolutely batshit self-insert character, with a backstory that makes no sense and a name that doesn't really gel with the aesthetics of the universe. Legolas and Aragorn should be in a love triangle with Kylie, the angsty sixteen year old half-human half-elf and inexplicable tenth member of the Fellowship. Do the WORK. If everyone was doing "Y/N" nonsense back in the day, there would be no Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, or probably Bella Swan. These are important women. They deserve to be named, confusingly and with no regard for the fictional world they inhabit.

The other day someone said they didn't know jabba the hut died in the 6th movie and I was like, forgetting the name of the thing he rode around on amd just said he died in a plane crash. Yeah jabba the hut died on 911 he was on one of the planes. Then we started talking like him of course saying shit like "me wanna bunga steel beams"

my favorite part of the week is when we watch a guy turn chocolate into a fucking bike and we have to just accept that it happened.

Oh and I want to fight all the Gen Z kids who are like ‘teehee, we’ll just do lavender marriages instead!’ Some of us are adults who want equal rights and protections under the law of our land.

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My gay agenda: kpdh superman AU—BUT, specifically ‘my adventures’ AU, because that show got *the boy* so right and just like Rumi can fit so much self-doubt in there! (I lied about the vine thing, THIS is the silliest goofiest offering to the fandom I have)

But between MAWS and the Superman 2025 movie, I've had this on the brain UwU cause I was thinking about how much parallel there can be between Rumi and Clark. Then Mira and Zoey could work so well as Rumi's Lois & Jimmy and I spiraled.

|In the style of an old school radio host| After a mysterious super-woman saved the Daily Planet's trio of interns from rogue military weaponry, investigative journalist in the making Mira Lane-Hong is determined to find all the secrets of 'Superwoman', with the help of Zoey Yoo and Rumi Ryu! Hijinks ensue! Rumi is actively having to work to not let her girlfriends run into hostage situations.

MAWS AU, essentially (with some adjusting to the storyline for character and ship stuff) for reference:

Rumi- Clark Kent/Superman Zoey-Jimmy Olsen Mira- Lois Lane Celine & Mi-Yeong- The Kents (also fuck it, we can throw the 3rd sunlight sister in there too! Rumi grows up with 3 moms!) Bobby- Special Case (Bobby is essentially becoming a new character, bc this is Bobby we’re talking about. Iconic, dad-shaped, supportive Bobby, so he gets to be a lil more involved with the story than the canonical supporting ensemble) Gwi-Ma & Jinu- season 2(?) 👀

I’d also just 100% recommend the show too, this take on Lois Lane is unhinged and she’s perfect. Clark in this canon is just, big puppy/wet cat energy, 3/3 on saving people with hugs!

Clark in MAWS s1 keeps circling back to the question of who he is. All he wants to do is help in anyway he can. But he doesn’t really know where he’s from or what his powers come from, nor why he has them or was sent to Earth, and he's scared of being a weapon.

_ Rumi _

So! Baby Rumi, she’s shuttled away to safety from a 'dying' Krypton and crash lands on Earth onto the Ryu farm—I’m giving Rumi a supportive family dynamic here, she’ll get put in the blender later—Mi-Yeong is alive! Celine is her wife! They are farmers! Rumi is a certified farm boy with a farmer's sleeper build who's passionate about agriculture!

Baby Rumi grows up! -insert hinky power discovery and a spooky spaceship encounter- She’s off to college and rooming with Zoey, the two staying together after graduation when they both get internships at the Daily Planet in Metropolis!

Rumi is terrified of being perceived as ‘other’ by the people she really cares about, and that changing how people see and feel about her—most of all she doesn’t want anyone to be afraid of her and she doesn’t want to hurt anyone if she can help it, she's got to be so deliberate and in control of her powers or else she could hurt/kill someone on accident.

So she hides her identity as Superwoman from her girls because she just wants to be seen as Rumi and hasn't fully accepted that the Kryptonian part is also part of her. When she starts acting as Superwoman, it's because for her at the beginning she's not 'Rumi Ryu, average woman' who can fly; she's Superwoman who can fly, and that's not weird or strange for her.

Admittedly it's a bit hard to keep an ID a secret when your partners are extremely observant, one is a (supported by the narrative) conspiracy theorist, and one is a future multi-award winning investigative journalist... or when the US military complex is hunting you down because they think you're going to be the catalyst of an invasion. It's also hard when you canonically are a bad liar! Rumi goes out for bagels 5x a day average, never comes back with one and is beat to shit for some reason!

Going into the powers of it all. MAWS' specific way of Supes unlocking more powers is very much anime power-up style, complete with glowy eyes. The show is very anime in a really fun sincere way

I want to keep Rumi's patterns in some manner, so I don't think they're fully visible all the time, but as she uses more power and absorbs more sunlight they get more prominent and iridescent and her eyes change as well.

In 'power-ups' they spread and get bright when she develops more powers. So instead of external crackling power like in above gif, it's internal and spreads across Rumi's skin for a period of time.

Exposure to kryptonite causes them to turn green/purple/black.

I've got an unnecessary amount of extra thoughts about this AU, and just needed to throw this into the void in hopes y'all see the vision. But hope it's an enjoyable little concept for everyone else too.

MAWS AU-Mira Lane

The worms keep worming and my wrist is the victim, but I can shout a little now about Mira in the Superwoman setting >:D

It is she! (Ok look, I love a well-written Lois and I love Mira, so I’ve got so much unnecessary information thought out)

Part of the Super!Rumi AU — (First Post)

For quick reference:

Rumi=Clark Zoey=Jimmy Mira=Lois

Polytrix endgame

_Mira Lane-Hong_

I’ve had so many rogue trains of thought hijacking my brain about this au, so I apologize for the excess.

Also, If anyone has their own interpretations or takes I would LOVE to hear them. I love reading people's headcanons on characters OwO

Mira’s family name is Lane, but she goes by her mom’s maiden name, Hong, when able to (idk if Mira had a canonical surname, so I based it off her speaking VA’s, same with Zoey)

I mentioned in the Patching Up of how Mira’s childhood was—For people who’ve seen MAWS, you know what her dad was prepping her for and who her dad is. A take on it that I enjoy is that Mira’s dad raised her to survive the apocalypse through survival training and desensitization. It was not good! Basically raising her with the SEAL training manual instead of like, affection

Mira didn’t realize this wasn’t normal until she was around 11-12, she’d mentioned the contents of a weeks long trip to a friend—her dad got reassigned soon after and they moved away from that friend

Oh right, if it wasn’t clear, Mira’s a military brat! She moved around constantly in her childhood, and isolated herself after her mom passed away from cancer. Honestly she’s extremely well-adjusted for everything she went through as a kid.

Left home around 17, lived out of her car to finish high school off and earned a degree in journalism in uni. Extremely, extremely dedicated reporter in the making, she will win so many Pulitzers in the future and make people (Lex Luthor) quake with nerves at having to be interviewed by her.

At 23 she’s been an intern at the Daily Planet for over a year and she’s tentatively letting her dad get in contact with her again—Mira’s letting him have a chance because despite everything, she still feels like she has something to prove and when he’s around she kinda shrinks.

Hates hospitals—conveniently, she knows how to properly clean and stitch her own wounds to avoid hospitals (this is not smart)

Ok, throwing more less narrative important headcanons into the mix

Wild pain tolerance, she went on a trip to Gotham with some coworkers once and they got mugged—Mira got stabbed and was so nonplussed the muggers got concerned

Excellent poker-face, (it's probably from all the horrors) she can be in the middle of a breakdown internally, on the outside she's casually sipping her coffee looking unbothered.

Calls Rumi "Smallville" cause that's just classic Lois & Clark, and calls Zoey "Snapper" because she loves turtles and snaps pictures

She! Cannot! Spell! This girl has dyslexia and writes so fast that she breaks spell-checking software! She is an amazing journalist, she just gets some proofreading help from Rumi and Zoey—or dictates for Zoey to type

She needs the truth when it comes to people she cares about. Loved ones hiding things or lying leads everything back to her father and it becomes an extreme almost compulsive need to push and know what's really going on.

Keeps up with exercising with kick-boxing, sparring, jogging.

Extremely passionate about uncovering corruption and lies, both on an objective level and a personal level; also fun-fact this laptop is based off canon Lois Lane material!

Chronic caffeine consumption to keep on the beat & Chronic pen chewer when she’s thinking, if there is a pen near her, it is in danger

Loves soft things, cozy blankets? Fuck yeah. Plushies? Oh hell yeah. Sweaters and Knit-wear? Half her wardrobe.

Will never admit it aloud, but really loves that both Rumi and Zoey can pick her up. She is very tall, it’s a bit novel that her partners can do that. It makes her feel safe and that she’s someone worth protecting.

Adding onto that, after certain MAWS events, she either needs to be the little spoon or HAS to be holding both her girls.

Didn’t mention it in the initial post, gotta go back and add more head canon, but Kryptonian’s 100% purr and can drop down into infrasound. Mira finds it extremely adorable and soothing, and the deep tones hot. (Fun overlap, so many people look at Clark and go, yes he needs uncanny traits, we honor both fandoms here uwu)

Extremely good at budgeting, going from a pretty well-off living situation to living mostly out of her car—She volunteers at least a full day 2x a month to helping emancipated teenagers adjust.

Adores listening to Zoey yap about assorted conspiracy or marine wildlife, she’ll sometimes rest her head on Zoey’s chest while she lectures to feel the vibrations of her voice. Before knowing her, Mira would walk through Metropolis, not letting her surroundings distract her. After, she'll realize she's started to notice and look out for specific bird species she spots because Zoey's told her about them.

Loves seeing Rumi light up in her subtler way when she starts talking about her plants or proper agricultural practices and animal husbandry in the farming industry. She got bouquets for her girls on their first date and quickly figured out that living plants are much better gifts for Rumi.

Look, it’s just full lovergirl-coded Mira Lane in this household. She will do whatever her girls ask of her (except stopping the pick-pocketing of wardens keycards or sleeping at decent, consistent hours)

Adding a lil bit of the Superman movie flavor of Lois where she’s a bit feral-cat coded, gotta coax her into accepting the affection. She didn't really realize that she felt so lonely before meeting Zoey and Rumi.

If she latches onto a story, you better believe she’s not letting go or giving in. She will break into secure military complexes and jump out of moving vans in order to get the story. If there’s ever a thought of Mira (Lois Lane) wouldn’t do [insert insane thing here] you are wrong! She is unhinged! Rumi and Zoey are just so, so, so down bad for her specific brand of crazy.

She is not impulsive—Mira will consider all her possible options and ACTIVELY choose the most insane one, and she’s usually justified by the narrative in doing so! (One of her partners being Superwoman 100% further enables this behavior)

Absolutely does not care if her girlfriend is Superwoman or not, she will be throwing herself into the fray. Has a really hard time seeing Rumi confront antagonists that she can't do anything against. (Also gets so frustrated at Rumi not knowing even the most basic combat forms: cue tension filled sparring with both her girls)

Always puts herself between Zoey and Rumi and the roads. Or as a barrier between people on buses, trains, etc.

Can cook extremely well, actively chooses to live off granola bars and instant ramen for the speed and convenience.

If you've made it this far, thank you for indulging my Mira = Lois Lane brainrot UwU. I don't really feel like writing out characterization is a strength, or even a neutral skill, of mine, so I hope this feels in line with a Mira living in the setting and being the Lois Lane equivalent.

I have so many thoughts still, MAWS is just such a charming setting and I love putting the kpdh cast in there. But like I mentioned up top! Feel free to take your own spin on this au! That's part of the fun of sharing it, there's no wrong way to do it ^w^ (I feel really self-conscious about sharing this stuff but seeing people interacting with it makes me excited to keep making it <3)
