i like to imagine kpop demon hunters in like. crossovers with any other media with demon realms

like.

"hi, welcome to Demon Hunting, let's go over a handful of the most common types you'll come across and their weaknesses!" [full presentation] "finally, there's these Korean demons from Gwi-Ma's demon realm, but you won't have to worry about those."

"oh, have they been wiped out or something? are they harmless?or are they exclusive to Korea?"

"oh, nah, they're still around--eat souls and everything--but there's a Kpop idol group that keep 'em sealed to their own hell dimension through the power of live music."

"huh?"

"nifty stuff, right? we gotta make do with shotguns, salt, and arson, but all they gotta do is bust out some choreography, drop some rhymes, get a crowd hype enough and bam! world safe."

"wha--uh, do they? need any? help?"

"huh? oh. yeah, sure. I guess. if you're up for it."

"Of course! anything to protect the world from monsters!"

"Allllrighty then. I'll send you a link to their merch store. You can stream their music on the usual places. give the socials a follow. I don't think they're touring right now, but tickets to their shows get pretty pricey if you wait too long, so i'd recommend keeping an eye out for any new announcements if you're wanting to go."

"what?"

"their music's pretty catchy, but, eh, you know me, more of a Gregorian Chants kinda guy. If you do make it to a show, take some pictures. i hear it's a fun time."

"i--no. I meant, help them fight the demons"

"Ha! ... oh my god you're serious. just... just buy a t-shirt, okay? and focus on the christianic demons and ghosts and shit, yeah? let's go punch a werewolf."

kpop demon hunters from the perspective of the fans is so fucking funny because what do you mean the biggest kpop girl group in korea is beefing with and wrote a devastating diss track about a brand new boy band that debuted like 4 weeks ago and only has one song out

This part has been in my head since I heard it

do NOT sort by kudos the real play is to find the most prolific writers in the hockey rpf tag and go to their profile to see if they’ve written a single bizarrely high-quality fic for the fandom you’re actually looking for

My mom kept complaining that all of a sudden the Beatles are back and they're fucking everywhere and they're so obnoxious and were practically having an orgy in her garden under a cucumber leaf and that's when I realized she meant spotted cucumber beetles and not Paul McCartney

its funny when events that probably couldve been traumatic dont bother you so you'll end up casually dropping stuff like "so after that time i almost got lost at sea as a kid-" and theyll be like WHAT and youre like. oh yeah dont worry its just part of my lore. its honestly not even a top five interesting backstory moment. focus please.

Have you ever thought of a joke, and then gone too far with it? I defininely wouldn't know of it...

Anyway, here's a conspiracy i'm pretty sure must exist in the YGO universe. Depending on whenever you think Yugi's body really changes when Yami takes over, it might either be very true or completely false

And for those that don't know what this is a reference of, Its this lovely Star Wars parody theory I love a lot

In these uncertain times, just remember you can always get strong as fuck. You can punch boulders with your fists. And they will break.

Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"

Look I'm sorry to anyone who thought the Saja Boys were a real band, but it was obviously fake from the beginning.

Huntr/x has been doing this gimmick for years where they'll put on a performance and some actors dressed up like demons will "interrupt" it or get into some choreo fights on stage and stuff. If you're a fan you know, the demons usually symbolize things like industry corruption, Mira's struggle with her family, Rumi being in the closet, etc, and there's lots of hints and secret messages to the fans in what they're wearing or how they show up. Check out huntresx5evah on blsky they've got an extensive examination of the "demons" over the years and what the messages to the fans are.

In the concert before Golden was released, the demons were dressed like flight attendants. That was the indication that something new was about to take off. @/queenhuntrixdontmiss and I speculated that it was going to be a new single and low and behold, it was.

But then the live performance got cancelled. It's an open secret that Rumi was having vocal issues, so that was probably not planned. They needed to buy time for her to recover, so, enter the Saja Boys -- a fake band of guys really clearly pretending to be demons, they release ONE single, do a bunch of b-tier variety shows for a week, nearly all of their public appearances have Huntr/x right there, keeping the hype and energy up until Rumi can get her throat polyps removed and furthering the routine where Huntr/x are supposed to be secret demon hunters and the Saja Boys are supposed to be secret demons.

Then the whole thing culminates in the Golden live performance at the idol awards, the big act with Huntr/x fake "break up" and the subsequent theatrics to make it up to fans for failing the first Golden performance. Huntr/x takes their obligation to fans very seriously, I've no doubt that they all felt terrible about having to cancel, so a free show was the obvious recourse to try and make it up to people. And they pulled out all the stops!

But the Saja Boys were never real. I mean they got real guys to pretend to be a boy band and do the dancing and lip syncing obviously, but come on, most of them didn't even have names.
