Ooooooo I really wanna hear about the ghost hunter au now

WUHUHUH NICE

So I have to say, I basically just throw them into an old iwaoi au I had with a friend. So credit where credit is due! @bluesailsandcalicotails this goes out to you!! Aran and Tao are now wondering in a version of our Ghost Hunter au!

After an injury brings a break to Tao's basketball career he ends up being angry and burned out and needs a change. So he buys a nice house in a small town and wants to start new with a small food shop. But quickly after he moved he realizes that something isn't right with his new home and there is no such thing as peace and calm. He has a Poltergeist. After a lot of research he finds Aran, a Bodega owner by day and Ghost Hunter by night who lives in town.

Tao hires Aran, and Aran does his job and tries to get the Poltergeist out of the house. It turns out to be more complicated so the two spend some time together. As tao doesn't know people yet in town, and he likes to cook, he uses Aran's shop as an excuse to shop and catch up with Aran and they slowly start some kind of friendship.

The poltergeist is gone, so it seems. But Tao is incredible tired, suffers with nightmares and looks more and more drained. This is not the burnout he knows back from his injury and failed career. He was felling better. One night his nightmare turns into realty and he is being woken by something shaken the bed and grabbing him. An awful chase happens, but Tao makes it out of the house and as he has nowhere else to go he finds shelter at Aran's place.

Aran takes him in and tries his best to deal with a scared, terrified, tired and broken Tao. The next day when Tao is asleep after a restless night, Aran goes to the house and finds that the Poltergeist wasn't the issue, but there is a demon that has hide from him. It's a whole disaster and a big thing and the demon is calling for Tao and all gets messy. But in the end Aran and Tao manage.

Now the house is clean and free, but it's tainted for Tao. He just wanted to start over! Have some peace. Now he feels drained and scared and is selling the house. And he sure could afford getting a new one (remember, former NBA career) but he is tired and doesn't want to be alone so he keeps crashing with Aran.

And from there their blooming friendship slowly slowly turns into more. Tao is still in the closet, as were Aran is out. Tao is scared and still suffers from the demon attack. So things go slow. Lots of slowburn. But it's happening.

Eventual Tao might even help Aran with his ghost hunting. Maybe even Tao has some talents in seeing ghost, or being some kind of magnet for them, which helps Aran. Something like this. Not too sure yet :D

So I like to think about the actual ghost activity and hunting adventures and how they go on hunts together. But also the slow burn and the slice of life moments and how they navigate all of this!

You’re Welcome in London

So this last week has been something really special. I went, by myself, to London to see Markipliers You’re Welcome Tour. It was terrifying having  to take care of everything by myself, especially since I first thought that I would be going with a friend who knows London like the back of her hand.

As I said, I went to London for almost a week so seeing Mark and the gang wasn’t everything I did. I went to both Warner Bros Studio Tour  (it was amazing!) and I also took the train to Brighton (Brighton pier is gorgerous!). Besides that I whent around and just explored (never to far away from the hotel though). So I wasn’t exactly bored, but a bit lonley.

At sunday it was finally time. The show was great even though both Mark and Ethan was sick. It was so strong of them to preform anyways. But the best thing that sunday wasn’t the actual show, it was the fact that I met 3 new friends. You see I do not make new friend easy. I tend to overthink things. I prefer to quietly be in the background an listen rather than talk. Sitting there in the audience with a emty seat beside me (since my friend couldn't come) was ok by me. Sad, but ok. However, one of the persons in my row leaned towards me and started to talk with me. And suddenly it was so easy to just talk!

It ended up with that the person who started talking to me, Amelia, and her friends @rascotty and @bluesailsandcalicotails just keept on talking to me. And the day after they showed me around in London. They even helped me find a store where I could buy things from Rosanna Pansinos bakingline.

That day was esally the best thing on this whole trip and I’m so glad that I dared to go alone! Because of that I got 3 new friends. And I can not thank you guys enough for starting to talk to me. Such a easy thing as to say hi to a stranger can mean so much. Thank you. ❤

Idk if you've done an ask like this before (if you did, sorry), but you said you wanted to talk about Tao and you can answer this for both of them if you want: Do you like to put them into AUs to explore their traits in different environments and what-if-scenarios? If so, which AU interests you the most and why?

I DO!! OHH I DO!! And if I had time I would draw them!! At least some of them!!

One big playground is the actual universe even. Because there are still so many alternative scenarios for the same universe and I love to play with those!! I have so many different versions and variants for this! I love to play with the idea of what if they discover their sexuality and feelings later? What if they break up because they got together too young and now figuring out things, and then find each other again in their late 20s and try again. What if they had different jobs or things worked our differently? I love all those scnearios!

One actual alternative universe I love to play with is their origin universe. I drew them the first time when I was 14 and they were part of a fantasy world, inspired by lord of the rings. Like this kind of medieval fantasy world. And I still like to think about this and have them back in this universe with all the possibilities. And even within this universe I have different alternatives and scenarios and not one strict story plot.

Another fun au is the Fishermen Au, where Aran is a ship captain of a small crew and Tao who is on the run end sup there as a hire and things develop from there :D

Then I like to throw them in a Ghost Hunter Au, which to be fair takes a lot from a former iwaoi au I had with @bluesailsandcalicotails It's just such a fun story and works so well for Aran and Tao too so I like to play with it.

I wish I could explore those more, as in actual drawing them and sharing them online and get people invested! I really miss fandom and this kind of exitement and sharing but I'm in such an Oc brainrot and it can get lonely! So thank you so much for asking!! If you want to know more about the scenarios or universes I'm happy to share but I didn't want to let this answer get too long :D
