perhaps doing an experimental work featuring a pairing i’m not known for focusing on that is also typically relegated to side pairing status was not my best idea ever but at this point i have accepted my fate as the writer of cult classics and flops
#to be fair i also have to remind myself to be patient#and that the tropes are really niche and maybe i should just change up the summary tbh#had it not been for star constantly talking abt how much she loves this au i probably would have given up on it upon returning lol#i write for myself and my one-and-a-half (1.5) particular audience members#anyway on that note leave comments on fanfic and engage w/creators folks it helps#花話#maybe it's bc i tend to tag the friendships too BUT THEIR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT#FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT#i spent too much time on the romantic shipping aspect in my previous fandoms now i wanna fully appreciate some bromances >:C#i don't think i ever wrote ema as a trio when i was into snk except maybe once or twice early on and that's a darn shame#anyway it's like#*banging pots and pans*#here's a love story that i'm writing! they also have friends who contribute massively to the plot!!#it's like... now that i think about it i guess i don't see that much in fic these days#like you'll have the main ship falling in love and the most the friends do is cheer them on or have romances of their own#but the friends never really do much that affect the romance directly unless they're like the Obnoxious Matchmaker(tm)#they tend to be more for the emotional support than the plot support which isn't a bad thing friends should be emotional support#i guess i just feel like friendships get sidelined in the story in favor of the budding romantic relationship#hmm yeah after a bit of research (i.e. filtering ao3) there are very few complete works over 10k that have kmjr as the first listed pairing#which in this case i'm taking to mean that they're the featured pairing#and most of those are oneshots#jesus fucking christ this is depressing#maybe i should shift my focus to writing kmjr bc tdmm is pretty popular n has long fics featuring them#but i guess there just has to be a long popular and easy to recommend kmjr fic out there#i saw one (1) complete one that was 73k but it had. questionable things tagged?#so i wouldn't call that easy to recommend#it's like they exist and all in all these fics they're tagged in but they're not CENTRAL they're not the focused falling in love#where it happens slowly then all at once kind of deal you know??#man i'm getting passionate abt this now *kicks into high gear*

Hey! I love your blog :)
Can you go into detail about why Nezuko is your favorite character?
oohhh. ive been, enabled.
Ty anon
Tumblr media
Just to begin, nezukos design already checks a lot of boxes for me:
- multi colored hair 
- purple/pink/orange/red color scheme (she looks like a sunset :]) 
- The long socks/legs wraps (idk the correct term sry)
- Fangs and claws and cat eyes >:3c
- Star-like pattern on her kimono 
     I also really like her voice. (Tho I Adore all the voice acting in kny. It never misses) I think Akari Kito does a really good job at differentiating her human and demon mannerisms, even if most of the time it’s just conveyed through muffled hums and grunts. She does an amazing job where it really counts ESPECIALLY especially especially in ep 7 season 2. Not to fangirl but Oh my god I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated anything more in my life. You have No idea how excited I was for the ep to drop. Every week I was just counting down the eps, trying to predict what weekend it release. And it was so worth the wait. It was. SO GOOD. The animation was amazing, the score never missed a beat (i already have a whole ramble talking abt the ost in that one scene), and the voice acting was perfect on all ends. I will always love how Akari Kito lowered her voice to better fit the berserker nezuko persona. I love how ufotable added these nice little details that helped each scene transition so nicely. The sound design was so good. Words cant describe how much adrenaline was running through my body while watching all that! And I know that sounds weird, being that excited abt a single ep, but I had been waiting for that for years dude. And, the idea that it would drop almost didn’t seem real. Nezuko vs Daki is probably one of my favorite fights in the series! From the initial reveal to when nezuko falls asleep, I adore the way it develops nezuko and tackles the issues around being a demon that I was hoping would be addressed! How despite her initial intentions, strong emotions can block out reason and thought, and cause yourself to become blindsided from logic. And in this case, it let’s her demonic tendencies take control. It’s. SO INTERESTING AHH. 
Tumblr media
and while i love all that potential for her character set up that ep, i don’t like how berserker Nezuko was handled later. As in how after the RLD arc, berserker nezuko is not really addressed again despite what almost happened. And when she does come back she’s perfectly fine and in complete control and tanjiro doesn’t seem worried at all despite the fact that the last time he saw his sister like that he had to restrain her from trying to eat someone. But never mind that, I don't want to be bitter. My point is that I really really like that ep and what it sets up for nezukos character (even if what was set up was not acted upon as much as I hoped it would be later) and it will always have a special place in my heart.
     And on the topic of fights, I also think her fighting style is super cool and fun to watch (and this is aided by the beautiful animation). It helps her stand out from the rest of the cast in which a majority fight with swords. And, I also think her not talking is an important character trait.  Because with a main cast of 4, 3 of which are all varying levels of loud, having nezuko not talk helps her stand out in a group that is constantly yelling. And all of this holds up for me despite having an au entirely focused on if she could talk. that is purely for my self indulgence <:D. 
      Ok so. Want to address something that is always kinda a constant “Elephant in the Room” for me because, as a character in the story of kny, if I’m being honest with myself, most of my interest in nezuko doesn’t come from the actual story we’re given. Hell, my favorite dynamic is the nezuko and makomo friendship we see in the side series and it’s not even canon nor ever could be :,) (read kimetsu academy). Dont get me wrong tho, i get so happy any time i see nezuko. i cant think of a moment in the series where i wasn't happy to see her on screen. But, compared to other characters, especially as secondary main character, her development is harder to follow. That doesn’t mean there isn’t any tho, she’s just kinda, sidelined. And since she doesn’t speak, it means development she does get isn’t spoken, which I think is both consistent with her character while also being sort of a detriment. 
     Ok so, initially this next section was a 5+ paragraph ramble that I decided was too negative to keep in and could honestly be it’s own post. and on top of all that was. kinda hard to follow. I don’t want this to be a critique of the series, I want it to be abt why I like it :D. So to put this short a sweet, a lot of questions i had weren’t given a lot of attention. Or, weren’t always handled amazingly <:). i.e Berserker Nezuko.  because the thing is, Nezukos story has a really really intriguing beginning. You're left there asking so many questions. Is nezuko going to be able to stay in control of herself? How is she going to ensure that? Can she talk without the muzzle? How is Tanjiro going to handle not being able to interact with his sister? How is she going to react to other people? How are they going to turn her human? Does she need to eat? Does she remember what happened to her family? 
   So asking all this, a lot of my thoughts are more inspired by what could have been, or trying to interpret or expand on moments we are given. And, fun fact, on the side Ive actually been taking the time to write out and reason why nezuko is the way she is because I’m. Just like that I guess! Not everything needs an answer, but I like to try and connect dots where I can and come up with an answer myself. Cuz something I always address when talking abt nezuko was how underutilized she was. And while just spatting a doc full of head-cannon info is one thing, (which will probably never see the light of day because. My god that thing is a transcription directly from my under stimulated school brain and is therefore incomprehensible) it’s more fun to think abt this info being conveyed through the story. And on that note, here are a few plot points that the series sets up that I think could have been neat and given Nezuko more meaningful screen time!
- more talk with Tamayo and demon biology. I think it’s super interesting and could lead to some interesting conversation and an explanation for beserker Nezuko. (Because if I’m genuinely bitter abt anything it’s the beserker nezuko plot line). I also like Tamayo and sad we didn’t get see her that much. Tanjiro is the Concerned Older Brother I and I feel he would have questions to ask, especially after the RDL arc. 
Tumblr media
- More downtime focus between her and tanjiro. (This is a Big one for me I think abt it A Lot). We get hints of it like after Mugen Train and I think could have been really interesting to see how the two communicate despite their circumstances. we also get a bit between them in the side stories with that flower short and i literally cried when i read that. :’) i want more content of them so badly 
- A nezuko arc that covers the time when tanjiro and the rest of the gang are recovering from the events of the entertainment district. I wanna know what was she up to! (I do have wip a comic written and sketched abt this exact question but. Motivation is a bitch </3)
Tumblr media
- Nezuko and zenitsu. I’m so sad the anime cut what little bit we had in the manga I wanna see them hanging out in a flower field being friends. It would make their end game seem more, natural, seeing we don’t get a lot of content about them vibing sunrise countdown.  - More interaction with the pillars. Maybe not with nezuko specifically but I just want more pillar content outside of battle, maybe with some focus on the enigma that is Nezuko. how having a demon in the corps affects their moral codes a whatnot.  
- I wanna see Inosuke and Nezuko fight together. I feel their fighting styles would complement each other well
- NEZUKO AND GENYA. The two foils should have been allowed to interact together after the swordsmith village. It could give Nezuko an opportunity to talk more now that she can. I feel nezuko and Genya are really similar not just in abilities (and yknow. Being foils and all) but personality. It could be an opportunity for her to finally share how she feels about being a demon with someone who also knows how it feels. There’s. SO much potential ough. 
Tumblr media
(i would expand on these ideas myself in this post but my brain does not organize like that so </3. i love to think abt nezuko as a character A Lot, but putting those thoughts down in a coherent manner takes a lot of effort for me, so if i ever do they would be their own posts.)     
but either way, I go crazy when people make Nezuko content especially around concepts like these. they are so much fun to interact with. But. Yeah, Nezuko gets side lined a lot in kny, and despite that she’s still my fav because she had so much potential. But kny is a shorter series with not a lot of in-between fluff, especially in the later chapters, so ofc not everything would have time to be addressed. I just think it’s fun to, instead of being upset at this, just make what I wanted to see, and look for content by others to see how they interpret the character. Because people have such good ideas. there are a lot of cool people in this fandom and I’m happy to be apart of it :D

More than the Moon
summary: you’re having a rough time when jake is out of town, but he assures you that it will all be okay
warnings: none unless fluff counts as one
pairing: college aged reader x jakey jake
word count: 563
a/n: hey guys!!! i never really write much but @whistlingwillows and i are constantly talking abt different jake au’s so i figured i would write one :) enjoy
Tumblr media
“Jake, where’s your grey hoodie?” Your boyfriend groaned in bed while you stood at your closet, filled with nothing but Jake’s clothes that didn’t fit him.
“Baby, why do you need to wake me up at six every Wednesday? I’m over it,” he mumbled. He knew that you were getting ready for a lecture that you had every week, but he just hated waking up so early to take you. Jake knew you could take yourself, but college boys are way too outgoing.
He turned over in bed to look at you and his eyes went wide. You looked like a mess. Your hair was tangled and matted in some places. You had dark bruises all over your hips. She keeps bumping into that damn table, he thought. He could see your ribs slightly poking out, something that only happened when you would forget to eat from studying too long.
You noticed him staring and began to shake. Jake slowly got up from the bed and took a step towards you.
“Baby, w-what’s wrong?” Just hearing his voice shake like that made you burst into tears. Jake had been gone for the past week, and that may not seem like a long time, but knowing that your super hot, famous boyfriend was gone doing press with people that can barely remember your name made you a little paranoid. You hadn’t been taking care of yourself at all; only eating three times in the last six days and taking one shower.
“Woah, woah, woah, honey, what happened while I was gone?” His arms made their way around you and pulled you close to his chest. He couldn’t stop your shaking and your sobs rang out throughout your little apartment. Jake was so confused; when he left town last Wednesday, you said that you would be fine.
“I just, it’s just that, you’re like,” you hiccupped, “I just hate it when you’re gone because, b-because I know I can never m-make you that-, I can never make you that happy.”
Jake’s eyes went wide when he heard what you had said. He never knew that you were so upset when he would leave. He pulled his arms tighter around you as he began to speak.
“Baby, I don’t know where you got that idea from, but I love you so much more than my stupid job. And I hate leaving you more than anything, but school is so much more important than I am.”
You hated crying in front of Jake. If there was anything that made you feel self-conscious about yourself in your relationship, it was how you cried. It was just something added to the list of things you hated about being so much younger than him.
But when he said he loved you, you couldn’t help but cry harder.
“Sweetheart, it’s okay. Press stuff is almost over, your semester is finishing up, and then you and I can go back to New York. I promise. God, I hate seeing you cry. You’re really pretty when you cry, if that makes you feel any better.”
You sniffled and laughed. The man in front of you was the love of your life, there was no doubt about it.
“Jake, I love you so much, you know that, right?”
He smiled, “I love you more.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“More than the moon loves the stars, baby.”

HELLO I love the lot hsau very very much, you are both wonderful writers. Thank you so much for writing!!! Also are you planning on posting any in-universe mini darhkatom fics/ do you have any headcanons of them?
HELLO 💞 
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH that is so kind and lovely of you! we are writing it exactly for people like you!! 
okay right so listen. every once in a while, we just kind of …. spiral. into darhkatom obsession. and we kind of don’t know what to do about it. we love them SO much, especially in this au we just have a million & one feelings about them. like, we’ve planned for ages a whole bunch of darhkatom headcanons that fit within the fic universe but obviously don’t fit within the fic bc it’s focused on avalance and we keep!! saying!! we’re gonna write them into one shots but we never have the time so 
i’m gonna give you a whole fucking tonne of au darhkatom headcanons that fit with where the fic is thus far (there’s a Whole Lot more in later parts of the fic) and i very much hope you like them
so like, here’s the thing. nora doesn’t let people in. not since she was 7 and a half and her dad didn’t come home one night and then the next day the cops showed up asking where he was with a warrant for his arrest and then within a year, after moving to 6 different houses, her mom committed suicide and left nora with her aunt. she even tried to push gary and ava away, but both of them dug their heels in and refused to go anywhere, so nora was kind of (thankfully) stuck with them. 
nora carefully built up this persona as the ‘nora darhk’ that she presented to the world. the snarky, cool, uninterested girl who everyone knows of but doesn’t really know anything about. the one who a lot of the pretty brainless but admittedly attractive guys around school want to go out with, and nora lets them and then breaks it off before they get too close. it hurts, but she has gary and nora (and later, lily and kuasa) and she figures that until her dad is behind bars, that’s just gonna have to do 
(without them, nora’s not really sure who she’d become, because they’re the only people in the world she gets to be herself around, gets to be funny and goofy and soft sometimes, gets to roll her eyes and discover her favourite music and tv shows and books, gets to feel kind of human because she spends so long pretending in front of everyone else, trying to be someone her dad won’t try to find. there are times when nora realises that without ava and gary, she probably wouldn’t be here at all, and it’s times like that that she’s very grateful she didn’t succeed in pushing them away all those years ago) 
but somehow, they start hanging out with ray and the legends and she just - forgets to put her walls up. she doesn’t know how, because it’s like second nature to close herself off, but there’s something about ray that just makes her feel safe and comfortable and it takes so much effort and energy to try and not gravitate towards him, soften around him, let him get to know her the way she wants him to 
(her compromise is that she lets herself become friends with him. nothing more, she tells herself. just friends. he’s really smart and he’s been helping her study and her grades have gone up and she needs to get into a good enough school that she can get a scholarship and get the hell out of star city when she graduates so this is just a good friendship to have for all of those reasons. obviously.) 
ray meanwhile, comes from a much more stable household, and he has this adamant belief that he shouldn’t let himself be in any way discontent with his life because of how lucky he has been with circumstances 
(except that ray was in 5th grade when his dad abruptly announced he wanted a divorce and barely a year later married a woman half his age and stopped paying child support and cut himself off from the palmers and moved to the richest part of star city without so little as a goodbye. sandy palmer had twin boys to take care of and suddenly not enough money and sydney had a million and one sports things he was good at and ray had a million and one science things he was good at and for many years, things were very tight in the palmer household.) 
ray’s mom remarries when ray and sydney are just about to start high school. sydney gets along great with their stepfather, who has three kids who move into the palmer house and ray’s home life immediately becomes chaotic. 
it’s not that ray doesn’t like his twin, because he does. he loves him more than anything, but sydney is just so good at everything. and he’s so naturally charming and cool and everyone around school can tell them apart bc sydney just exudes confidence and suave and he’s fit and sporty and he aces school as well and all ray is good at is inventing stuff and adding more dumb science fair trophies to his bookshelf 
(it’s actually what ends up bringing him and sara together in freshman year; both of their feelings of inadequacy as they’re constantly compared to their perfect older siblings) 
ray dates a little bit - his first kiss is with a girl named anna in 7th grade and he’s pretty much in love with her for like, a year and a half afterwards. he dates kendra through freshman and sophomore year, but they break up eventually and kendra ends up dating carter instead, but ray doesn’t really harbour any ill feelings abt that
but then nora darhk comes along, and there’s something about her - something different and quiet and it’s as though there’s this side of her that ray can see flashes of and he just wants to get to know, because sometimes she makes a witty comment or rolls her eyes at ava with a softness on her face that is so uncharacteristically nora, and ray just kinda thinks she’s really pretty and is immediately entranced 
nora asks him for help with physics pretty early on in the year and he’s 100% thrilled to help 
and that’s how it goes for a while. they’re friends, they text a bit, they talk at school, nora opens up just slightly more than she usually would, ray tries to uncover layer by layer all the different sides of nora
and then new years happens. new years, where it’s 2am and nora’s just finished looking after gary and she’s in the kitchen and she feels lighter somehow tonight (and it’s not just the alcohol) because it feels like one of those moments where she’s Safe and her dad can’t get to her and ray’s in the kitchen making nate a sandwich bc he gets hungry when he’s drunk and nora laughs and he laughs too and it’s such a nice laugh and he looks so handsome and sweet with the way he’s looking at her and there’s just this burst of uncontrollable feeling in nora’s chest that she’s never felt before and she doesn’t know what to do with it so she just surges forward and pulls ray down by the collar of his shirt and kisses him 
and there’s this moment where everything’s frozen before ray kisses her back and his hands are so gentle as they settle at her hips and all nora can smell is cologne and she can taste the cranberry juice he’s been drinking all evening on his lips and one of his arms snakes around her waist to hold her close and everything is perfect for this one second before reality comes crashing down to nora and she realises for a sickening second that she really, properly likes ray and if her dad finds out - 
the very thought is enough to make her feel nauseous and she tugs herself away like ray’s burned her, and his eyes are wide with confusion and a kiss-driven daze and nora stomach flips at the barest hint of desire in his pupils and he goes “nora?” in a hoarse voice and all she can manage is “i’m so sorry” before she runs from the room 
obviously you see that she texts him after to apologise, to ask if they can not talk about it and he agrees 
she’s afraid of it being awkward after that but he’s really sweet, does as she asks and doesn’t mention it, just lets things slip back to normal 
and part of her is so fucking relieved but the other part just hates herself because she wants him, she wants to kiss him again, wants to hold his hand and go out with him and be normal with him but the investigation on her father is picking up fast and she’s still so scared of something happening to ava and gary, she can’t even imagine something happening to ray bc her dad wanted to find a way to get to her or blackmail her 
on the 10 year anniversary of nora’s mother death, ava tells the legends why nora’s not at school at lunchtime. as the bell rings for them all to go back to class, for the first time in his life, ray palmer grits his teeth and sneaks out of school and walks all the way to the other side of town to nora’s aunt’s house. he knocks and she opens the door and her jaw drops because raymond carson palmer is standing on her doorstep at 2pm on a tuesday fidgeting nervously and looking like he just power walked here and she’s just like “…hi?” and he shifts his weight a little awkwardly and offers her a small smile and goes “hi. i uh … i wanted to make sure you were okay. ava told us. and like, obviously you’re … you’re not okay, you know, but i just … i don’t know, i just thought maybe i should - if i overstepped then -” and nora shakes her head and her voice is soft and she says “no ray, you didn’t overstep.” and she curls her hand around his wrist and tugs him inside 
when nora has the panic attack after her ex calls her ‘eleanor’, they talk on the phone until 3 in the morning and that’s when, for the first time since middle school, nora tells someone about her life before her dad became a criminal kingpin, tells ray about the christmases together and him teaching her how to ride a bike, about their happily family and the home movies and how idyllic it all was before it came crashing down and it’s then that ray gets what she isn’t saying, gets that she’s not ready for whatever this is between them, at least until her dad is arrested 
after ava & sara fall out, because both ray and nora are so close to each of them respectively, their friendship kind of comes to an abrupt standstill as they try to look after the friend whose ‘side’ they’re on. it’s only nearing the 3rd week that, as you saw, nora reaches out and she and ray start hanging out again, regardless of the lines drawn between their two friendship groups now 
( @legolasunderstoodthatreference do you remember any of the others bc that’s all i can think of lmao) 
aaaaand all other headcanons are set past the current chapter soooo those are spoilers unfortunately 😉 BUT let me know if you do want them bc we have SO MANY and we will be happy to share them considering how useless we are at actually writing them as one shots 🤦🏽‍♀️💛

mini cryptid hunter!bts au bc i was enabled
@clockwork-lullaby this was probably more than you were asking for but it’s happening
yoongi
the “logical” cryptid hunter. if you watch buzzfeed unsolved just think shane LOL
yoongi just has a really specific fear and it’s of demons
grew up in a really religious church playing the piano as a kid so he always heard about “exorcisms” being done on the church grounds late at night from his friends
yoongi isn’t as dumb but i mean he’s bored on a friday night and his parents are out for their anniversary so he goes and sneaks in with them to the church and the lights are on and he actually encounters a possessed church goer getting cleansed by a few priests but it’s just. like not working?
the person is absolutely livid and seething and speaking in a crackly voice and suddenly the demon notices him and his friends run but yoongi is just stone still
before the demon can try and hurt him it’s exorcised and yoongi is completely mortified and the priests are like “kid omg why are you here you could have DIED” and they tell him to never speak of it to anyone and yoongi’s smart enough to know that what he’s just seen is something way beyond his years
in fact he’s repressed it so much that even when he’s older sometimes he has to remind himself it happened and now hunting demons is just his damn calling
100% carries a dagger or something dipped in holy water and probably knows a bunch of bible verses that’ll make a demon squeal right off the top of his head
when not hunting demons, he’s usually just making fun of namjoon for getting spooked all the time LOL
him and hoseok are like the lethal duo for demons like god forbid you’re a demon and get on their bad side bc u will be finessed tf into a pile of ash
probably naps on the way to haunted sites and the first maknae to rouse him from his sleep is carrying him to their destination
(but never jimin bc jimin is not a heathen like the others ofc)
namjoon
ok i’m gonna crack on my boyfriend real quick: DUDE IS SUCH A BABY OH MY GOD!!! HOW DID HE GET HERE!!! WHY IS HE DOING THIS!!!!! WHY COULDN’T HE MAKE FRIENDS WITH NORMAL PEOPLE WHO DON’T HUNT THE SUPERNATURAL
he’s v smart and reads up on lots of folklore from all around the world so he’s your go to when you wanna figure out what’s been spooking the locals
namjoon says he doesn’t believe in the supernatural but this is usually said in a small, squeaky chant under his breath as he wanders through the cemetery during witching hour with his six dumb ass friends and why did he have to start that casual conversation with hoseok that one time in biology-
has never had a definite brush with the supernatural BUT 9/10 he’s gonna think a floorboard creaking is the hounds of hell coming after him
it’s even worse that he’s clumsy
if jin isn’t holding onto him he’s most likely gonna run and fall when something remotely worrying happens and they aren’t carrying an injured namjoon through another haunted house again, goddamit joon
his favorite subject is aliens and he’s constantly letting the boys know that they are out there and they are avoiding the human race bc the human race is, in fact, super fucking stupid
is also stuck between wanting to get abducted so he can be left alone or wanting the rest of the world to get abducted so he can be left alone
tough choices, really
if shit goes down namjoon is either hiding behind yoongi or hoseok and he only trusts those two to get him out safely
“the rest of you are despicably hopeless” “you trip on dust, namjoon”
jin
the Responsible Adult
also easily spooked as fuck skfjekfi
ngl he’s only slightly more calm than namjoon but that is not,,,, by much
they usually cling to each other to calm each other down (the fucking waves of anxiety rolling off of the both of them is truly just. terrible. they’re both so nervous you can feel it from right at home behind the screen of your phone from which you’re reading this)
jin babbles when he’s scared too, and starts singing old nursery rhymes his mom sang him when he was still scared of the monsters under his bed
but ok. his reflexes are WAY better than namjoon’s bc where namjoon is “scream and run”, jin’s is “punch and run”
dude don’t even know what he saw but he’s already swinging
jin knows ghosts are real because he had an imaginary friend as a child who resembled the old owner of his house pretty spot on
since he figured that out, he can’t sleep in his old room alone any more and will use any excuse in the book to share with his parents when he visits
jin is always carrying snacks for the boys bc cryptid hunting is brutal man,, here’s a protein bar and some holy water
uses a fanny pack to carry said snacks and while yoongi has made every joke in the book abt it, who is the one carrying the antiseptic in a conveniently stored place when said min yoongi gets a cut hm
hoseok 
ok ok hoseok had a somewhat similar experience to yoongi as a kid and is also a great demon hunter
his family taught him about the evil shits as a kid so he’s always been aware of them even if kids always called him dumb for thinking they were real
uniquely enough, his choice of weapon is a bow and arrow (also dipped in holy water but depending on what they hunt, he could use anything speared by his arrow)
he really REALLY loves hunting famous lore tho like one time they actually tried to find bigfoot and he was so excited the whole time he couldn’t sleep. he learned the mating call and everything
(yoongi brought earplugs specifically for this reason)
he used to be easily spooked as a kid but now he’s steeled his nerves, if only to become the best monster hunter he can be
does copious amounts of research with joonie (listen ok they have sleepovers together and just geek out over the possibilities of some cryptid existing somewhere and hoseok gets stars in his eyes imagining what could be. namjoon loves analyzing the logic and sets hoseok on the right path since he tends to get a bit daydreamy when it comes to the famous stuff)
imagine him just freakin slaying a demon in front of the boys and getting a cocky lil smirk on his face
“calm down buffy, your ego is gonna be too big to fit in the van home”
jimin
ngl first thing he thinks about when his friends talk abt the supernatural is unicorns and fairies
he’s not v acquainted with the darker stuff
honestly doesn’t know why he’s hanging out with them all but he’s just happy to be here
always asks questions about what the boys know or have experienced. he’s really interested and he gets v empathetic
“no taehyung we can’t watch the poltergeist tonight, you know how uncomfortable it makes namjoon and jin” “we hunt these things daily u know that right”
v interested in magic
anything the boys find that involves magic, jimin is 110% hyper focused on the subject
he does his own lil research in his own time but he can’t help reading creepypastas sometimes
he doesn’t know any better ok!!!
also carries snacks but in a backpack bc he really can’t get behind the fanny pack
jin: they’re convenient
jimin: they’re a fashion abomination is what they are
one time they were hunting a monster that jumped out at taehyung and jimin just fuckin
decked it
like no thought just a right hook to the eye(s)
there were multiple eyes and jimin couldn’t stop whining abt the residue on his hand as they ran back to the van to hide
he’s just having a good time with his friends and didn’t really sign up for the monster bit but that’s okay
taehyung
so uh
taehyung can talk to the dead
this has actually been a thing he could do since he was a kiddo and similarly to hoseok, he was shunned for it because nobody believed him
he communicates with past relatives or family friends of his often for his family (who also know and find it kind of lovely what he can do) and sometimes passes on things for the dead to their living family
like he’ll order orange tulips sent to the home of a grieving widow bc her recently deceased husband asked him to do him that favor, something her husband had been planning on picking up for her the day he died
or he’ll quietly look after his classmate whose mother died because he was asked to. he’ll share his lunch with her and make sure she eats because her mother just knows she’s not well
when he met hoseok (who is really the heart of this lil group), he just felt so much relief at finally being understood
he’s really a great mediator for ghosts when they encounter them and he’s so helpful at leading them to the afterlife if needed
he’s really not scared of much to be honest. he finds everything so fascinating
sometimes it drains him being kind of a connect between the human and spiritual world but he’s so glad he was born that way, it’s helped him meet so many wonderful people and he loves who he is
and yeh ok taehyung abuses his power like the lil shit he is sometimes
tae: did you wash the dishes
jk: *clearly lying* yeh
tae: the ghost standing next to you begs to differ
jk: ...for the love of god taE NOT AGAIN
jungkook
ok, like i said,,, dude is an adrenaline junkie
jungkook does not give two flying shits he will deadass fight a headless forest demon in his living room if he has to
jungkook fears no man or god
strongest member so he’s always the one to carry namjoon when he inevitably hurts himself and has to be helped
even tho he’s not easily scared for his own life, he is scared for his family and friends
his worst nightmare is losing any of them to something they hunt
sometimes he’ll line windows and doors in his house with salt discreetly, just enough for it to work and just enough that his mom won’t yell at him for wasting perfectly good salt
is always researching protection spells and things just in case he’ll ever need em, usually consults yoongi for help too
“who do you think would win in a fight between mothman and a wendigo”
genuinely cannot function on an empty stomach and the boys have to stop by convenience stores to buy him like six cups of instant ramen just to satiate him
of course jin has some snacks in his handy fanny pack if needed (and has made painstakingly clear if jungkook mocks said fanny pack that he will be banned from getting snacks from it for the rest of his “measly young life”)
jungkook has some good sense and hasn’t said a word (but he has thought a copious amount, for sure)
