When the boys met for the first time after auditioning for the band, they had a very strange feeling, as if they recognized each other from somewhere, as if they had known each other all their lives, a strange shit because they had never met each other before and their auditions were in their respective countries of origin. To kill the awkward tension, T ended up making a joke that they reminded him of M&M's characters.

The rings that the boys wear in 4towny2k AU were an idea that came from management to the boys. In contrast, in 4townNow the use of rings was a suggestion from the boys themselves to management, although the boys themselves do not remember how the idea came about, they simply liked it and went ahead with it, as if it was simply the way it was supposed to be (wink wink).

One of the most fun events for the band was when they participated in a series on a children's television channel, like Nickelodeon or Disney. The series was about the adventures of a fictional boy band, think of something like Big Time Rush (Does anyone here remember or know Big Time Rush??), and 4town participated as the prestigious rival band that the protagonists wanted to beat. But of course in the show they were given this image of bad boys and pretentious with slow motion entry, wind in their faces and fabulous catwalk music. They were also given a stupid name like 4walls or 4Dudes.

When the episode aired, the jokes between them were endless.

I think I want to modify my AUs a bit

4townY2K is more tied to the manga and the movie. While 4townNow is more set in the current era and I think I'll stop tying it to the manga and movie material, to make it more fun and imaginative, but I still want it to be tied to something from the franchise, so… Here comes the tragic part. My headcanon is that in the 4townNow universe the boys died. Wait! Stay with me and hear me out! They died due to some accident during the night with their tour bus. And even though it was a tragedy, people eventually forgot about them since they weren't as famous yet as in 4townY2K AU, possibly it was before the album with the songs "Nobady like U" and "U know What's Up", since those were the singles that catapulted them to definitive recognition. The boys died instantly and managed to reincarnate and now live in the current era and meet again and now form the best boy band of all time.

T doesn't get angry often, but when he does the other members stare at him because he goes from trying to calm down or avoid the argument in English to yelling and swearing in Spanish at an indecipherable speed.

Of all the members, the one who changed the most with fame was Jesse, he became arrogant and rude to the staff, the 4townies and anyone else around him when 4town reached national recognition and began to have worldwide recognition, he was the type of person who says "What? You don't know who I am? Who am I?!" But after the revelation to the public of the existence of his children and all the scandal that arose at the media and personal, he left that ugly part of himself behind. With the arrival of his children into his life, he became a more humble person. He is grateful to have his feet on the ground again.

Aaron Z has the secret skill of writing the best breakup songs. Many of them don't make it past the label's filter and 4townie has often been left deprived of the best heartbreak gems of the century.

[onlycielnotreally]

Much to the amusement or discomfort of the other members but to Jesse's horror his children would grow up to have a little childish crush on some member of 4town as they would hide behind Jesse and shyly wave to them whenever a member of the band came to visit and after a while they would give one of the members a drawing with a heart on it declaring that they love them.

Jesse obviously doesn't take it seriously at first but starts to worry as the months go by and this childish crush continues with tantrums like "No! I'm going to marry ---""I want to see --- now!" and "Shut up dad, the --- part is starting!"

Naturally the children outgrow their crush and as his children become adults Jesse looks back on these kinds of moments with some nostalgia.

In my country it is very common for fans to throw bras at artists on stage. I think that out of 4town, the one with the best reflexes to catch them in Z and the one who received the most is Robaire. Jesse has been hit in the face the most times by bras and once had to wear an eye patch because a bra hurt his eye in the previous performance. Taeyoung is the one who is most shocked when he receives one and is the one who has the best reflexes to dodge them. T is the one who feels the most proud of having a bra thrown at him, at the end of the second world tour he uploaded a photo of him backstage to his social media account with him posing with all the bras in the background and on his head thanking 4townie as if they were trophies.

Even though Taeyoung doesn't get along with his father and has cut off all contact with him, I believe he has eventually reconnected with his mother and secretly transferred some money to her.

[onlycielnotreally]

Did you know that there is an alternate ending in the movie where Mei meets Robaire on a plane where he recognizes her and declares that he is her fan? Well, my headcanons are that the reason is that he can relate to Mei a bit since Robaire has a very strict mother who has strongly pushed him to be famous and be the best.

I know I said Tae respects Jesse a lot but I think in 4townNow AU Tae would be more disrespectful and communicative around him, even though he still appreciates him the same way as in 4townY2K. Like if Tae would say things like "I love you old man" or "It's okay grandpa, I think the same as you" or "what's up peepaw?" and Jesse would react like ???? or "I'm not that old" "I'm not that older than you" or if he's already annoying "Why are you little ---"

I think Taeyoung's father would have looked down on him anyway if he had decided to study something other than medicine. As if Tae had chosen to go to college and not be a part of 4town, and choose any college major other than medicine, his father would be equally disappointed and furious.

am i the only person who thinks T can be a great actor and comedian like robin williams? I think he has the potential.

[onlycielnotreally]

Z would be the least popular member in both my AUs, but in the 2000s, when he debuted as a soloist, he would achieve success and even compete with Robaire in the song of the year category and in the music charts (Although in the end he would lose, no one can beat Robaire). He would also gain a lot of attention but would not last to the point of being considered a one-hit wonder solo singer.

[onlycielnotreally]

Sorry!!! But I sincerely believe that apart from Robaibe the rest of the group in the 2000s would not have succeeded on their own, their solo albums would have been flops (except Z, but I'll leave that for another post).

4town's main enemy is its own company and its management.
