#I don't know what posses me but I really like this guy 😭😭😭

[yuutsunaoi-writes]

Kokichi Ouma is just some guy with pale skin, dark purple hair and purple eyes clad in a white-based uniform paired with a checkered white and black scarf. He's just some guy who is quite disliked among the characters in Danganronpa V3. He's also quite disliked by certain parts of the fandom. He's just kinda disliked in general. Even in his forged back story, he was leading a group of misfits that pull harmless pranks - which becomes one of the reason why he's disliked in the eyes of public.

In other words, he's disliked no matter where he went.

Yet, in the midst of it, we could know that he's also loved because of the same misfits that joined his DICE organisation. In the few pictures he took with them, we could see how they all wear the uniforms proudly.

And for them, I'm thankful that Kokichi at least have a few people to lean on - eventhough we all know he's selfless. Selfless in the way that he had sacrificed himself to beat the killing game.

What? You're gonna say he did that just to win and beat the killing game?

Well, isn't beating the killing game what everyone wants? Sure, his ways of doing things are disliked since he lies all the time, but who wouldn't when you have no one you could actually trust? He would want to make sure the mastermind does not catch up to his plans.

Kokichi Ouma, who lies all the time, jokingly worded things to piss people off all the time, has a big fear - fear of being boring. He hated being boring the most, since he hated boredom very much. Just not as much as Junko Enoshima who caused despair just to feel something and make things 'interesting'.

Perhaps it's because he got used to associating pissed and crossed expressions with his harmless questionably-funny pranks since he had been pulling pranks with his organisation (read: found family) for the longest time, he chose to lie and anger people because for him, that is what it means to not be boring. To be 'funny'.

The Ultimate Supreme Leader, although gives off the vibe of being just a pure menace, he is also smart; smart in the way he noticed peculiar things earlier than anyone else. He noted how it's weird to have an Ultimate Robot, when no one else bothered to care. And many other things, did he notice. But because he lies all the time, he didn't even care to share his findings with anyone else. After all, who can anyone exactly trust in a killing game?

Kokichi is careful despite his carefree facade. He went through every possible outcomes before doing anything. We could see this is proven when he just 'happened to know' how to benefit from him dying in the hands of Kaito Momota.

Trapped in a killing game, where he could trust no one, Kokichi relied on him and only himself. He tried approaching Shuichi Saihara, but he knew his efforts would be futile because he had personally engraved into everyone's head that he's a liar and an instigator - someone to not be trusted.

Perhaps, he had known that he would ended up alone all along - especially after Shuichi had implied so in his words when the Ultimate Supreme Leader tried to get in between Shuichi and Kaito.

After facing such rejection, Kokichi strengthened his resolve, and proceeded how he had planned.

Maybe, in his last dying breaths, as he laid down on the hydraulic press, he wondered if things would've been different had he been able to convince Shuichi to help him in his plans to beat the game.

No one would care if I die anyway.

He knew all along though - that he would be by himself even till the end as the hydraulic press descended on him.

In the end, he left while still being misunderstood. Even as he smiled a little bit, closed his eyes, and wished the best for his friends.

And for the person he fell for.

Kokichi Ouma is used to have one-sided feelings anyway.

He told himself that it didn't hurt.

Ah...

If the 10 people who had willingly joined my organization were real...

I wished I could've met them before dying.

In my room

tw: mentions of blood, bruising, and k*lling, unprotected sex, (don't be silly, cover your willy) and eddie being so in love with you that he goes a lil crazy. this is a poorly written smut so minors DNI!

a/n: i've been WAITING for october to come so that i can post this😭 i don't stan insane clown posse i just heard this song on tiktok and ran with it! i hope you guys enjoy and happy early halloween! credit to the gif owner <3

The party cheered as Lucas rolled the dice, the number they were wishing for appearing before their very eyes. They watched with eager eyes as Eddie acted out what was happening. Shouts came from every direction telling Lucas what he should do. Eddie let out a laugh and took a glance at his watch. He feels his heart drop to his stomach when he sees the time, he's late. Eddie is never late. He stands up from his chair legs slightly shaking at the thought of not seeing you tonight.

“Woah, Eddie are you alright?” Dustin asked with concern. Eddie ignored him, he was grabbing his things and stuffing it in his backpack.

“Eddie, chill out, what's going on?”

“I’m late, I'm so fucking late she's going to kill me.”

Mike looked at the party and they were just as confused.

“Who?”

“Y/n!”

Mike, Lucas, and Dustin tensed at the mention of your name. They locked eyes trying to figure out what to tell him, but they all stayed silent not knowing how to tell him.

“We'll finish the campaign next week, sorry guys.” Eddie mumbled out while he ran out of the theatre room. Silence fell over the party before grumbling started making their ways out.

“I don't get it? I thought she-”

“Shut up Gareth.” Dustin said.

-

Eddie must've broken every traffic law to get back to the new trailer that his new government official friends got him and his uncle. He roughly puts the van into park, not even grabbing his things, and rushes into the trailer. He throws a short hey to his uncle before he goes into his room and slams the door shouting out a sorry from the force of it. His uncle let out a sigh and turned his attention back to the phone.

“Yeah, yeah he's doing it again. I'm just so worried about him, he hasn't been the same since we got hit with that massive earthquake.”

Eddie let out a sigh as he tried to ignore the words he was hearing through the thin walls. He knows his uncle isn't wrong, he hasn't been the same since the so-called earthquakes but it's not his fault. How is he supposed to go back to normal when your body was still trapped in the upside-down cold and not moving? He checked the time again, mumbling out a curse when he saw 9:30 flashing across the small digital screen, you were still nowhere in sight.

He starts to nervously pace the room, the words from his uncle seem louder now as he gets lost in his own thoughts. He remembers how some bullies laid off him once the “earthquakes” hit, your disappearance shaking the town to their core. It seemed like they couldn't rest, there was either a great number of deaths, or a great number of disappearances.

“Sorry for your loss, Eddie.” A cheerleader said to him.

“Yeah! She was like, really pretty. It's like so sad.”

Eddie watched with empty eyes and her friend dragged her away saying you can't say shit like that Becky. The image of you pushing him out of the way and distracting the bats so that he can live still plague his mind. He remembers the group prying him off of your cold body, tears streaming down his face as he begs for them to take you. He can't leave you here all alone, he won't do that to you. The group promised that they'd come back for you, but he knew it was an empty promise because months have passed and they haven't set foot near the gate.

He starts to nervously chew at his nails at the thought of not seeing you tonight. He goes to lay on his bed, bringing his knees to his chest trying not to cry. Were you really that upset with him that you weren't going to visit him tonight? You always came to visit, he knew he should've cancelled his plans tonight. Maybe if he just stayed in his room you'd get to be with him forever like you both originally planned. He feels a chill run down his spine and he quickly turns around to face the window. You're close, you have to be. Eddie always gets cold when you're around. His eyes stayed glued to the window but could only stay open for so long before he found himself drifting off to sleep.

-

Eddie hears soft tapping at his window, he lets out a groan and turns away from the noise.

“Are you gonna let me in?”

His eyes shoot open and he turns toward the window, his heart leaps out of his chest when he sees your silhouette waiting for him to open the window. He stumbles out of his bed, his blanket still wrapped around his leg and fumbles to open the window. You let out a giggle at how frantically he's moving but you know how much he needs you.

“You came!” He said breathlessly once the window was opened. You smiled at him.

“That I did, I stopped by earlier but you weren't here.” You said with a pout.

“I know, I’m so sorry. The campaign ran a little later than I thought and I didn't even realize the time. I’m so sorry-”

“Eddie, relax. it's okay I’m here now.”

Eddie lets out a sigh and closes his eyes. A smile appears on his face as his eyes open back up and he stares at you.

“I’m so glad you're here.”

“I am too. Now, back to my original question, are you gonna let me in?”

Eddie steps to the side. “Of course, come in sweetheart.”

You smile at him and make your way through the window, landing softly on your feet. Eddie lets out a gasp when you step into the light and he sees you clearly. He doesn't know why it always catches him off guard, you look the same from the last time he's seen you. Clothes torn, bruising around your neck from where one of the bats wrapped its tail around you, choking you out, blood drenched the sides of your clothes from where you were bitten. The only thing that was different about you was the fact that your eyes had a slight reddish color to them and your fangs seemed a bit sharper.

“I'm okay rockstar , I’ll heal up soon.” You reassured him. He smiled at the nickname you gave him since you found out he was in a band, it's almost as if everything was normal. Almost. Eddie pulls you into a hug, shivering a bit at how cold you felt.

“You’re freezing baby.” He mumbled out while rubbing his hands up and down your arms.

“I’m fine Eddie, I promise.”

Eddie steps back and looks at you. Every time you visit him he soaks in all your features, almost as if he's trying to erase the horrible memories that are on loop in his mind.

“I missed you.”

“Yeah? How much?” You tease.

“So much.”

“Show me how much.” You whisper.

Eddie nods his head and brings his lips to yours. Your lips are cold now, they never used to be cold but he pushes that thought to the back of his mind. You're here. You're alive and here. You pull away from his lips and pressed kisses against his neck.

“God Eddie,” you moan out. “You smell so good.”

A blush rises to his cheeks as he clears his throat. “Have you eaten?”

Your kisses are getting sloppy and you're starting to bite him a little here and there. You shake your head and start kissing along his jaw.

“Not since last time.”

Eddie feels a swarm of butterflies in his stomach at the mention of your last visit. “We can do it again…if you want.”

You pull away from him and smile softly at him.

“You'd do that for me?”

“I'd do anything for you.”

You place a kiss on his lips already knowing he would. Eddie has said time and time again how he's willing to do anything for you, that's the one thing that hasn't changed about him. His undying loyalty toward you. The kiss becomes passionate fast and Eddie’s knees hit the edge of his bed causing him to sit down. He pulls you into his lap and your lips start attacking his neck. Eddie takes a sharp breath when you lick right where his pulse is, you can hear his heart beating out of his chest and the thought of his blood filling your mouth is enough to make you whimper.

You move your hips back and forth trying to get even the smallest amount of friction, hoping it'll be enough to satisfy your other hunger.

“Y-you need to feed.” Eddie stutters out. You shift your hips a little differently, smiling against his neck when you get a small groan out of him.

“Not hungry for that anymore,” you lied to him. Eddie always tasted better just when he was about to finish. Eddie's eyes roll to the back of his head when he feels your hand sneak into his pants and wrap around him. His grip around your hips tightens and you could practically drool when you rest your head in the crook of his neck.

“You're so good to me Eddie,” you whisper to him. “Always so good, letting me feed from you, keeping our visits a secret.”

His hips buck up at the mention of the secret. He only mentions you, but he has yet to tell the group that you're still alive, just a little different.

“You like that don't you?” you tease. “like keeping me as your dirty little secret? Keeping me all to yourself.”

Eddie's close. He's so close, but he doesn't want this to end like the last visit. He needs you to be closer to him, he needs to feel you in a way he hasn't for a long time.

“S-stop, ah I-I want to fuck you.”

Your movements come to a halt and you pull back from his neck and look at him with an unreadable expression.

“Even if I look like this?” You ask in a quiet voice.

Eddie looks at your body and feels sick when he sees the blood on your shirt, he lifts it noticing the bites and bruises that once littered your body are now healed.

“I mean, I can do without the blood,” he said in a teasing tone. “but you're still beautiful to me.”

For the first time in months, you feel like your heart is beating and you swear you're even blushing.

“We don't have to.” Eddie rushed out. “I just, I really need you.”

You place both hands on his cheeks and take a good look at him. Tiny scars are dancing around his face from the battle that you and your friends lost. He's so warm and so fucking pretty, how the fuck am I supposed to do this? You think to yourself.

“Are you sure Eddie?”

Eddie nodded his head. “Just, don't kill me.” He nervously chuckles out.”

You giggle and shake your head. “I’d never kill you.”

Eddie Munson was most definitely the love of your life, that was something you could easily say.

You bring his lips to yours for another kiss that he finds himself lost in the minute your lips touch his. You were intoxicating, you're better than any alcohol he's ever drunk, better than any joint he's ever rolled. You were his little slice of paradise and he'll make sure nothing ever hurts you again, he’d kill someone with his bare hands if it meant you'd return to his arms every night.

Your lips find their way to his neck again, your nose buried deep into his pulse.

Eddie’s hands hover over the button of your pants, you can practically hear him begging you through his thoughts and it makes you giggle. You nod your head and let out a gasp when his fingers quickly unbutton your pants and slip into your underwear.

“H-holy shit,” he mutters against your lips. “You're fucking soaked. Was it like this last time?”

You nod your head and move your hips against his hand trying to get some friction.

“ ‘M always like this for you.”

Eddie swears that God could send the flood and he’d die a very happy man. Your voice breaks him out of his thoughts.

“Eddie, please do something.”

Eddie nods his head and starts moving his fingers at a steady pace but it's not enough. You need more. All of your senses were heightened and it was almost too much for you. Almost. You shake your head and push Eddie so that he's laying down on the bed, your lips are attached to his neck as you place kisses all over him.

“More, I need more Eddie.” you cry out. Eddie is at a loss for words, he's seen you like this before but never this hungry. He lets out a choked groan when he feels you pull down his pants and underwear in the blink of an eye. You pull down your pants and underwear and give him a few pumps before locking your eyes on him.

Eddie felt like a prey who had been seen by their number one predator, his heart was beating out of his chest and he was trying to catch his breath. Your red eyes were full of hunger. You were hungry for him, not just his blood but all of him. You smile at him, your pointy fangs on display and he swears he's never been so in love before.

“Are you sure about this?”

“Y/n for the love of God, please just get on top.”

You giggle and nod your head. Who were you to deny such a sweet guy like Eddie? Gasps left your mouths at the same time as you slowly started sinking down on him, you're so full but not in the way you want to be. Your mouth finds the familiar pulse on his neck and you whimper from how good he smells. You clench around him unknowingly and it makes him buck his hips up into you. You both start moving at a similar pace but it's not good enough for Eddie. His hands grip your hips and he's thrusting up into you at a fast pace. You're practically drooling at how good he smells and you gently scrape your fangs along his pulse, silently asking him if you can have just the tiniest bite of him.

Eddie grunts out that he's close and he gives you the green light for you to use him. You bite down on him, your eyes rolling to the back of your head the second his sweet blood greets your tastebuds, and Eddie groans at the feeling. You both finish together, minds foggy and bodies buzzing from the aftershocks. You pull away from Eddie with a small smile and lick the stray blood that escaped from the wound you gave him. Your eyes find him and you feel your heart swell at the sight before you.

Eddie’s eyes are fighting to stay open and he has a smile on his face as his hands find yours. He feels dizzy, and he's not sure if it's because of how much he loves you, or maybe it's because you drank from him more than you usually would.

“You still with me, rockstar?”

Eddie hums at the sound of your voice and nods his head. The moonlight is shining through the window and it makes you look ethereal. He swears you're an angel who's been sent down just for him.

“Am I in heaven?” he asks in a weak voice. You giggle and run a hand through his hair before placing a kiss on his cheek.

“Not exactly rockstar.” You grab his limp hand and check the small digital watch that rests on his wrist, pouting when you see the time.

“It seems like our time is up, Munson,” you say with a sad voice. You get off of Eddie's lap already feeling so empty without him. You put on your bottoms and sit at the edge of Eddie's bed.

“Can you lay with me a little longer?”

“Of course, I can.”

You find your place beside him, snuggling into him. You breathe in his scent and smile at the familiar smell, it almost feels like you didn't die a horrible death months ago. You're just in bed with Eddie soaking in the little time you have with him.

“Why can't you stay with me?”

“You know I can't Eddie. I have to leave when the morning comes.”

Eddie rolls his eyes and brings you closer to him. He doesn't want you to leave. He needs you to stay with him, he'll do anything if it means you'll stay with him.

“Yeah well, if I had it my way the fucking sun would be gone.”

You look up at him and smile.

“You’d do that for me?”

“I told you, I’d do anything for you.”

You sit up and rest a hand on his chest, tilting your head to the side a little.

“Would you kill for me?“

You knew it was a long shot, but you had to ask. You're being forced to ask.

“If I needed to.”

“Even if it was your friends?”

Silence is shared between you two, you're waiting for his answer and Eddie is actually thinking about it.

“If it means you'll stay.”

You smile and kiss him, everything is going to plan. Maybe now you can stay, maybe he'll be so happy with the work you've been doing that you can stop going back. You can stay. Stay with Eddie. You know it won't happen, you can still hear his voice in your head.

I can hurt them, but you can tear them apart from the inside.

“I'm just kidding Eds, I know you'd never do that.”

Eddie’s hand grabs yours tightly, he knows you're about to leave and he doesn't want you to.

“I'm serious, if it means you'll stay with I’ll kill them.”

You stand up from his bed and kiss his forehead. “I know you will.”

You walk toward the window ready to leave but before you do you turn to him.

“Your time is almost up Eddie.”

-

Eddie wakes up in a cold sweat and looks around his bedroom frantically. His eyes are searching for you but there isn't a single trace, he looks down and sees he's still wearing his clothes. Confused, he stands up but is quick to fall back onto his bed. He takes a minute to collect himself before he makes his way to the restroom on wobbly legs. Maybe his friends were right, maybe he needs to let you go. The dreams are getting too real, he swears you were actually in his room tonight.

He passes by the mirror but stops when he sees a flash of dark red on his hellfire shirt. He gets closer to the mirror and feels tears prick his eyes when he sees the bite mark on his neck. You were here, he wasn't dreaming. You actually showed up last night. Eddie feels like he could dance in the restroom from how happy he is, he knew you were real. He knew you came to visit him and it wasn't his imagination.

Eddie leaves the trailer with a smile on his face and the bite mark on his neck is on full display. Nothing can ruin the good mood he's in, not even Dustin being concerned over the injury on his neck. Things are finally going back to normal, and Eddie hasn't felt this happy in a long time.

It's too bad a killer headache came along and ruined it all.

@cityofidek @spideyjass @simpingoverfictionalppl

[alexanderhamiltonhasafatass]

what kind of music would each of the hamilton kids listen to

I spent like the entire hour walking home thinking about this question and I decided to make "what kind" of music into actual artists and shit so it's easier??

Also, these are my modern interpretations, don't attack me, idk man😭😭

Philip- Thinks amateur sound cloud rappers are good. Unironically listens to Glorb and gay rap paradies (idk how to spell). Adding Snoop Dogg in.

Angelica- Actually no clue?? I know a particular blog who would give a good (and funny) answer about this. But for now I'm just gonna say C. Love or something...I probably just butchered it

Alex Jr- Insane Clown Posse. But he had a really angsty phase where he only listened to Juice Wrld and Lil Peep

James- Had to think a little more about this. And I chose Eminem. Listens to Sexyy Red but doesn't let that information get out to anyone

John- The Smiths. He's just that guy. Might go far and say Weezer.

William- Johnny Cash and Toby Keith?? And then listens to only The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels

Eliza Jr- God. Listens to those Fnaf songs. Maybe even welcome to the underground. And those rap battles between shows and historical figures. One song in particular, the obnoxious Breaking Bad parody song

Pip 2- No clue again. None. Maybe a swiftie. He's just..?? Whatever comes onto the radio??

[strawberryspence]

Because I hate myself I kept thinking of sad Steddie things.

So, after everything with Vecna, Steve asks Eddie out. He's come to terms with the fact he is bi and stupid in love with Eddie. Like Steve fell hard and he fell fast so once Eddie is recovered and up and about, Steve asks. It's a lazy warm evening, they are hanging out sharing a joint. It's a peaceful moment and Steve turns to face Eddie and gives him this soft smile. "Go out with me?"

It takes Eddie a moment to process the question but his gut reaction isn't the one Steve is hoping for. Instead Eddie laughs "are you crazy?" Despite everything, Eddie still has some hang ups about ol' King Steve. "Do you have any idea how miserable your little posse made me in high school? The things they said to me about dating guys? Fuck no."

And wow that sobers him up real quick and cuts him to his core. Despite everything that they had gone through Eddie doesn't trust him and Steve doesn't blame him. Steve never partook in Eddie's bullying but he didn't stop it but he thought that maybe after Eddie seeing he had changed things would be different. But it turns out he's just the same asshole he was before. "Right. Right. I-" he stumbles over words because what was he thinking. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry. " And then he leaves. He just packs up his stuff and drives back to his empty home to crawl into his bed and he thinks of all the people he loved that he hurt. Nancy comes to mind and yeah, she is right. Everything he is, is bullshit. And so starts the song and dance of avoiding Eddie. He doesn't sit close to Eddie anymore, doesn't braid his hair, doesn't encroach on his space, doesn't draw attention Eddie's attention to him. But that doesn't stop him from pining and doing things on his own. He'll gather little rocks that he thinks Eddie would like, or stops and buys a little knick knack that he knows would make the other laugh, writes little notes to him: Your hair looks nice today. Or I hope your day goes well. But especially I love you.

But

Eddie never sees them. They all go in a little wooden box that gets shoved under his bed. Steve knows it's not healthy but it's really hard for him to let this go because it's hard to fall out of love. Especially since falling in love was the only thing that felt right in his life, didn't make him feel so alone, it didn't make that void in his chest so cold.

Steve masks really well. The kids don't know, Nancy doesn't know. Even Robin doesn't know, at least Steve doesn't think she does. And after a while of masking, it becomes really easy to believe his lie that he is okay. It becomes easier to come to terms with the fact that he's always going to be an asshole and it becomes easier to realize he doesn't deserve love. That doesn't stop him from crying at night, curled up in bed when noone can see his mask crumble.

And he'll get up in the morning, pretend that his feelings for Eddie aren't there, put his patchwork mask back on and try to make it through another day.

i have to admit this was sitting on my inbox for about 4 days because i had no idea what to say. i read this the first time and i immediately teared up. 😭

i dont have anything to add, not when you've sent me a masterpiece that had me crying.

one thing tho: eddie munson if i see you on the streets, its on SIGHT. FISTS UP WE'RE GOING TO BRAWL. 🥊

I don’t even know how to word this, but after reading all of your royal aus I be unconsciously puzzling everything up in a single time line. There’s this game, (the legend of Zelda) and I know other games or other stories and whatnot do this same thing, but I’ll be using Zelda as my reference (?

Anyways I’ve been matching up all the royal stories in a single timeline and such, which makes sense for me since the kingdoms have their own names and such, but after reading “Take Me Home” I settled it as the first in the time line, which makes so much sense. I mean as I read Crescent and White Love I made more connections. Specially with Crescent. In crescent San mentions about the royal blood line having healing powers and how everyone across the kingdom does have powers and there are whole files about it which only the royal family knows of.

I associated this to faeries and them moving into a different world, they mention quite a few times about doing things like the humans. So I see it as faeries stopped using their magic it slowly dying off. But not before the whole story of White Love happens. Where the kingdoms are divided by the elements, and there one magic that Seonghwa posses, darkness. Something so small but it made me realize that in this White Love time line there’s more than just the elemental powers. (And interesting enough the ice magic was separated from water knowing that Yunho in Take Me Home could control ice as well)

Anyways, even though ofc you’re using the same members and such, but here’s were I use a little bit more of the Zelda timeline reference. (Just a little) in this game there’s two (three if you could the villain) main characters, they are reborn in each timeline no matter what. Of course some things change, specially on one of them who is the guy. As for the girl she would always have the, almost, the same story over and over as she’s a princess and reincarnation of the goddess.

My point is that, I see Mirinae (if that was the name of that universe forgive me if I’m wrong) slowly evolving and becoming what they’re now like wonderland, utopia, eden, halaland, and Mist island. About Mist Island, here’s were other suspicions come in, like I feel Fomalhault is Mist Island, as I’m White Love thay island is where the illusioners live in. Idk why I associate Junyoung/Kieran having that space only for himself as his land of illusions, tho it never happened.

But yeah it’s a very rough idea of what I saw while reading all of the stories, specially the royal ones. Just Mirinae is where everyone continues to live on, Ateez members reincarnating into the kingdoms or not part as a kingdom but just, you know, reincarnation isn’t always, neat, yk?

BUT I hope you don’t mind this silly analysis I did over all of this I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I wish I could talk to it with my friends but I think I went overboard reading until late at night to read all of your stories (they’re really good 😭) and I know that maybe this wasn’t even your idea but I thought of it so I really really hope you don’t mind this 😭😭

omgg i love this analysis and you can rant about it to me anytime, i really appreciate that you put so much thought into all of this! you've pointed out things that interestingly enough, crossed my mind at least once (with the connections you've made between different fics). i don't mind at all, i love this!

i understand why you would try to connect the different fics (since i only have like four or five names for nations for my royal aus- utopia, eden, wonderland, halaland and mist island- that i use over and over again 💀 and because of the connection between similar powers). as far as the naming is concerned, that's mostly bc i don't know what else to name and want to avoid using real places names and alsooo because i've created this little ateez universe in my head where i plan all the stories. as for the powers for when i mix a little fantasy in my aus, that's just how i see them- let me explain.

take me home- i started writing it from the middle (where Yena drowns and loses her memories and reaches yunho's kingdom). i had no idea it was going to be so long, was going to involve THAT amount of time travelling nonsense that i put in, was going to be so dark and all. i just thought about what the ateez members would be like if they were faeries- what powers would they possess? seonghwa radiates dark prince energy, i think i'm not the only one who's thought of that. if seonghwa is dark, hongjoong HAD to be light- they're basically soulmates. mingi red hair era made me think 'fire' even before i started writing fics. it's stuff like that. in white love, i had a specific inspo pic (hongjoong in all white at MAMA) so i thought he really looked like some evil ice prince there. that's how the story was born LOL.

whenever i write another fic, i do think back to take me home- it's the first ateez fic that i wrote (if we ignore the lameass theory based fic that i once wrote but that was more me trying to make sense of their universe). you could say me being a theory geek and just having watched dark (a german show which yall gotta watch if you haven't already- it's based on time travelling too) and being obsessed with inception (the movie), i just thought it'd be cool to mix it all together, add a little fantasy bc i love love fantasy genres and royal aus. so my point is, that yes, consciously or unconsciously, i end up choosing things that remind me of take me home or my other previous fics, and the fact that you've noticed makes me so happy bc that means you really thought about it a lot. you're making me feel like some cool ass author who's planning a whole universe with little connections in different fics- i wish i was that cool but i'm not 😭😭 but it does make sense, at least to me! i understand every bit of what you said and it's interesting to look at my fics from a different perspective and realise what i've done- subconsciously.

i'll blame take me home for that. it has this huge place in my heart bc it's the first proper thing i wrote and it's a goddamned novel at this point with an upcoming spin-off 😭😭 am i obsessed with take me home? yes, because at the time i was writing it, it consumed me and made life a little less harder. will i keep making references in my future fics that aren't even related? probably. will i write more spinoffs and end up creating a whole universe people might not even be interested in reading? definitely- all my fics are more self indulgent anyway (i write to escape and even if there's no one reading it, i'll be reading it- i'm not saying my fics are the best bc i canNOT read my own fics after i'm done posting them bc to me they sound cringe asf 😭😭💀) i just write for the sake of writing, you know? i just have to get it out. so if i'm obsessed with writing itself, that means i'm going to end up making a lot of references in the fictional world i've created for them.

i'm curious as to how other readers and how you will make more connections of my fics and i'll also look forward to how you'll interpret the spinoff because it's full of references to take me home. thank you again for thinking so much about my cringey fics and making the time to talk to me about this! you can ask me anything and talk to me about anything at any time. xoxo.

Season 11, Episode 8: Just My Imagination

Hey, Wisconsin!

Spooky

Hey, Cheerios are fantastic!

That's just weird

Oh no

That poor girl

Sam, your alarm sucks

Uh oh

Wow, the bunker is freaky in the mornings

He hasn't noticed it yet?

There it is

Reflexes!

Great question

Dean is confused™

He is also tired™

That's more of Dean's kind of thing

He's weird

He's not dumb or ass, Dean, come on

I love all of this

I presume that's a type of monster?

He's got the Pre-K voice

Dean...

He's so mad 😂

Good idea

Freaky

Yikes

Sam certainly was lost

And who else is gonna do it?

This is hilarious

Yeah, that poor kid

Poof!

SWEATER DEAN IS HERE

You could still back out

Or something

Dean...

Aw, no...

Something tells me that Dean didn't really ask

Yikes

Awww

You really don't wanna be hunting, Sam

Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan were both members of the band The Pogues.

Poor girl

Not now, Dean

It's a crime scene, that's why

You're about to find out

Dean.

That is horrifying

Makes sense

What else?

Oh boy

She has Sparkle on her face 😭

It's cleansing

Dean, please stop

Not the mermaid!

Another victim

The rubber ducky...

Interesting

She's a mermaid, that's why

Literally

I think Sam is okay

Zanna date?

I guess, that kinda makes sense...

Dean!

TOTORO. DEAN WATCHES STUDIO GHIBLI

Aw

Sam...

I like the way the Zanna work. They're not just "imaginary friends," they're trying to help the kids work with society.

Don't tell me this is Flagstaff

Awkward

Yeah, this is strange

Oooh...

I like Weems

Oh no

Spooky

Poor Weems

Did he survive?

How are they supposed to fix that?

HIS LOVE HANDLE

Yikes

Yeah

Not the posse!

That's a lead!

Dean.

Okay, that is pretty sick

Dean, why do you hate these guys?

Yup

That's not what's happening

What happened?

Sam...

Aw, no, Sam...

That's so mean!

Poor Sully

Yeah

Maybe.

The Darkness is everywhere

Sam, you don't even know what exactly he wants!

Sully...

Now's your chance

Uh oh

He got jumped?

Yikes

That was an extremely deep voice

So this is revenge?

This is like a soap

Oh, Sully...

Uh huh

That's a horrible idea

Dean to the rescue

Poor girl

That car is killing me, fix the backfires please

I guess so

Yikes

Poof!

Dean...

Sam, it's a horrible idea!

Sam. He just said that you'd have to go looking

Manifesting either CIHTD, Everyday, and/or Kristof Lullaby for PW in S3 b/c lyrically those songs are SO spot on for them. Gotta Go My Own Way may give us angsty PW if G thinks about going back to her mom for a bit. Now that Camp Rock has been announced hoping PW/Gina sing 2 Stars, What it Takes OR Our Time is Here. I mean the poss are endless. Literally all the songs I listed are spot on for PW. Hell, What it Takes even has a line about sweatshirts. 😭 Guess its time to rewatch HSM2/3 and CR 🤷

Actually I think 2 Stars could be Lily singing to her hard to please mom like Tess in Camp Rock. So maybe cross that off for PW lol. Just thought the lyrics could work but only if out of context and I try not to do that. Sorry. Just had to amend that after rewatching that scene. 😅

I'm 100% with you on Everyday and Kristoff Lullaby for Portwell in S3! I don't have much hope for HSM3 songs this early into the show, so I'm not getting my hopes up for CIHTD just yet. Gotta Go My Own Way could really work for Portwell once EJ's college arc really comes into play. I actually had the idea that it could work as a song between Portwell, Rini, and Kowie, with Nini potentially feeling like Ricky isn't acting like himself (influenced by Lily but also just his own choices) and Kourtney potentially feeling betrayed by Howie if he was indeed involved in stealing the harness. They could divide the lyrics to best fit each ship:

Nini/Ricky: What about us? What about everything we've been through? Kourtney: What about trust? Howie: You know I never wanted to hurt you Gina: What about me? EJ: What am I supposed to do?

But that's just wild speculation on my part. I'm down for them covering GGMOW, period! It could be great for any of the main ships.

As for the Camp Rock songs, not sure if I can see What It Takes for Portwell. A few lyrics do remind me of them ("Every girl wants a boy to treat her sweet" and "Hey, hey, can I borrow your sweatshirt", mainly), but given that Gina has already found her guy, it's hard to imagine a context in which she'd sing that. It's not impossible, of course! Hardly anything is. I'm just speaking from my POV. Our Time Is Here could potentially work for Portwell, but I like the idea of it as a group song more. It's a nice "saying goodbye to camp" song.

2 Stars for Lily could be so interesting! Even before we got the most recent batch of S3 info, I'd been thinking about how we may be meeting Lily's parents or at the very least her mom this season and that they may own the camp (mostly cause that would parallel how HSM2 introduced Sharpay's parents). And with Camp Shallow Lake being family owned, that seems a much stronger possibility now. So the Camp Rock songs could help the writers tell Lily's story, if that's where they're going with her. After all, we do know that it's Lily's mom who taught her that she's not adding value if she's not adding followers. Sounds like a mother-daughter relationship that could really fit 2 Stars.
