Yall the 80s rock au has not left my brain so here’s some random ideas:

Dorian is a rising pop star (possibly even moving away from being a child star) who meets Basil in the same way he does in the book. Basil paints him and then introduces him to Henry. The only difference is that Basil does this out of the belief that Henry might be able to talk Dorian out of becoming a full pop star. Obviously, that doesn't happen. Henry becomes Dorian's producer/songwriter while also taking on a more mentor-like figure for Dorian. A lot of the songs Henry has Dorian perform are much more provocative and explicit than what Dorian used to do. 

Basil is still an artist, just with a small expansion from portrait painting. He still does that, but now he also doubles as sort of a talent scout/Henry’s designer/muse (he doesn’t know, but all of Henry’s songs are complaints about/odes to him and their relationship).

Henry was specifically a punk rock star in the 70s, in lieu of the Sex Pistols and the Clash. Henry was popular because he was controversial, charismatic, and pretty, all things that captured the hearts of the UK. However, much of popularity was contained in the UK, though he had like one or two world wide hits. Still his name is still considered legendary for the time. 

By the time Dorian meets him through Basil, Henry has long stopped performing his own songs, more or less writing and producing them for other stars. He despises Pop as a genre but since that is what sells now, he has had to pivot away from punk. Dorian becomes a sort of new hope for him because Dorian, being pretty and charismatic, could be the mix for the two genres.

Also this AU/Adaptation would take more of a focus on the complicated rivalry/relationship between Dorian and Henry. Because Henry, despite being hopeful of what Dorian could be, is also very resentful for the fact he is basically making his own replacement. I am using the “Henry as a bitter ex” characterization, so, along with that whole thing regarding Basil, now Henry literally has to watch Dorian reach higher heights in the same career he had. I think that conflict would take mainstage in the third act, replacing the Hetty Merton thing.

Dorian's corruption is a mix of the og book’s and 80s entertainment industry. While some stuff is definitely Henry’s fault, a whole lot of it is also just the entertainment industry being an exploitative place in general. Dorian grows worse as the years go by and Basil’s portrait of him does its usual thing.

CW: for mention of false accusations and grooming

Also, I think I figured out a way Basil doesn’t die! So England in the 1980s also had a moral panic regarding the LGBTQ+ and grooming (exactly like the ones of today). When Basil finds out about the portrait, Dorian doesn’t get the chance to murder him (for reasons) so instead, he outs Basil and falsely accuses him of grooming him, Basil’s rep is shot to pieces and he has to flee from his home country because no one is willing to believe his side of the story (except Henry, but at this point he is far too involved with Dorian to make a difference. Maybe this is the point where Henry’s dream breaks or something else which transitions into the third act.)

Music Industry AU

This is one if my all time favourite AUs/tropes, whether it's Rockstar or Pop reylo I need it, and since I realised that I've read quite a lot of fics set in the music industry, I figured I had to share them with everyone! 😈🎤🎸👑

The Great Big No by @dietplainlite: Kylo Ren is third generation rock royalty, a reigning brat prince starting to feel the burn of the fame he reached for with both hands. Rey is an aspiring singer on the verge of a big break, provided her A&R guy still has a job by the time she reaches LA. Their paths have crossed briefly, disappointingly, before. What happens when they collide?

Like A Technicoloured Hue by xxredwineandambiencexx: Rey Kenobi is an up and coming country singer looking to make the transition to pop. Kylo Ren is one of the biggest singer songwriters in the world, and he’s looking to capture a new fanbase. Set against the backdrop of a star studded Los Angeles, the two collide in the most spectacular way possible, producing a partnership that surprises everyone, herself included. In the City of Angels, anything goes.

Chasing Lightning by gutlesswonder: Not long after arriving in the States on a student visa, looking to flee her grim childhood, Rey's found a passion bigger than what brought her to college in the first place: playing lead guitar in a rock band with her best friends. Naturally, the local college rock band scene is abuzz with interest when Rebel Scum is asked to open for the critically acclaimed noise-band-on-the-rise STARKILLER. Rey and her bandmates are all nerves, hoping to land an indie record deal, while avoiding the ire of STARKILLER's front-man: a notoriously unfriendly tour-de-force drummer who goes by the stage name of Kylo Ren. Luckily for Rey, she doesn't scare easily.

i only lie when i love you by @dankobah: Rockstar Kylo who is a M E S S (Drug/Alcoholic past). Rey is an actress who takes none of his shit, agrees to a fake relationship to improve Kylo’s public image.

shatter out loud by neonheartbeat: Kylo Ren, the frontman of KORE, is the most famous rock idol ever signed to Empire Records and First Order Management: notoriously reclusive, silent, and talented. Rey Niima is a reporter for Rolling Stone assigned to give his first-ever press interview, along for the ride on the band's tour of the United States, despite the fact she loathes him. But both have secrets they need the other to hide.

still learning (to love myself) by @dankobah: editor/director Ben Solo gets hired to make a documentary about Rey, a famous pop star. They fall in love along the way. (Miss Americana AU)

It's a Long Way to the Top by @mzladybird: Kylo, Rey, Finn and Hux are in a Rock Band. Rey is newish to rock n roll.

Off Script by elle_reads: The plan isn’t that complicated, really. Pretend to date. Get media attention and the album sales that go with it. Amicably split — conflicting schedules, different goals, whatever. It’s a simple storyline. The only problem is that Rey goes off script.

Shars favourite bassist huh? So she hasn't broken out yet? How would the nightsong stuff play out in band au?

There isn't really a one to one for the nightsong stuff but I guess the closest is her decision to renew her contract with her current record label SHAR, she can continue to renew it (dj path) or break ties (selunite path)

Going the SHAR path lets her shoot to the top of the charts but at the cost of pretty much all of her creative liberties, they control her aesthetic, her sound, and her life. The "selunite" path on the other hand gives her complete freedom but at the risk of SHAR now looming over her shoulder and threatening to spill all her secrets

There's a bit more to it than that but its all in bits and pieces and would require me to go on several tangents cus im more of character guy than a plot guy

....

random ass AU where everything is normal but Luffy's a music prodigy. Like he just k n o w s how to play any instrument, but because of the handicap of being poor; he never had the chance to play one.

[kuriliancharlie]

Doodles I did a while ago of my Special Agent AU Lust (Will hopefully get his colored reference and stuff done soon)

[jamespotterbbg]

[attyattlaw]

I know I literally made a whole thing of how I don't normally do fanmixes, but I needed some music that was under 40min and very familiar so I played Linkin Park's Meteora album and the entire time I had the band au in my brain. except they'd need more members to make it work. and i kept trying to think of who it'd be for such a collab. maybe i'm too tired idk but it was like if the au band sang in a higher register than they probably would and since both Linkin Park's first three albums and your art live rent-free in my head it was only a matter of time

thats actually rly perfect now that i think abt it. ive always imagined the music range Law brings is more indie soft rock and they have to balance it with kid and killer's metal and punk rocks. LP feels like it fits their style hmmm as for musical collabs, i haven't really thought much about who else is in the music industry. Most everyone in the AU has regular jobs to be socially accepted adults, but Kid in particular really wants this band to be a thing (especially for killer) after many attempts, band breakups and accidents. they could wring in the other kid pirates for a gig or two but barely as regulars.

possible candidates: Uta - but luffy never thought of bringing it up that his sister is a famous singer Corazon - Law saw all the Donquixote posters on their walls and decided to gatekeep him away from them as long as he can hawkins/apoo - kinda their gigmates before? left "for greener pastures" and now theyre not allowed near each other

Music of the Heart [J.YH] - thirty-six | do we need a hot air balloon?

“Hey, t/n.” Mingi said as he walked into the recording studio.

“Oh hey.” 

“Is that the new bass?”

“Yes it is,” you played a few notes for him.

“Wow… you just finished fixing it?”

“Mhm.”

“I like the colors, very hip.”

“Thank you,” you smiled.

You put the bass down and wheeled yourself over to the line of thumb drives Hongjoong had organized on his desk and checked the labels for the one for him. “Umm… Here it is.” You handed it to him.

“Thanks.” He held onto the drive for a moment and turned it over. “Um, can I ask you about something?”

For a moment you wondered if it could be about Yunho. Maybe he said something to him? Maybe he noticed that you didn’t say anything at all to Yunho the last time you were in the dance studio? You wheeled back over to your bass and grabbed it, playing a few notes.

“Uh… sure.”

“So… I don’t know if you noticed, but I really like Dei.”

You tried not to breathe a sigh of relief. You did it in your head. “No, I hadn’t.”

“Oh-- well… I really like her. I have for a while actually.”

You nodded.

He pulled a chair over and sat in front of you. “Can you help me?”

“Help you?”

“I want to tell her but I don’t know how.”

“Uh-- wouldn’t it be better to ask one of the girls in your dance group? Wouldn’t they know her better?”

“I did but they all told me to do all this crazy shit like taking her in a hot air balloon or making a scavenger hunt all over the city… I just feel like she wouldn’t be into that…”

“Well, then it sounds like you at least have an idea of what she doesn’t want.”

“Yeah, but I don’t know what she does want.”

“Why don’t you just tell her?”

“Well, I don’t know if she likes me back.”

You sighed, exasperated. “Mingi…”

“I know, I know. If I tell her then I’ll know but like…”

“You’re scared?”

“A little.” 

He nodded slowly to himself as he turned the thumb drive over in his fingers. You patted him on the head. He looked at you through his bangs as you smooshed his hair down.

“I think you should just swallow that fear and tell her.”

“But what if she says no?”

“Then you know her feelings and you go back to being friends. Or if you feel like you can’t be friends anymore, you stop knowing her altogether.”

“But…”

“Mingi, you can’t keep yourself in limbo because you’re scared. Sometimes you just have to do shit.”

He nodded.

You sighed. “What if… I’ll try and ask her if she’s a romantic or not. Would that help?”

He perked up. “Yeah, that might. Then I’ll know whether I should charter a hot air balloon or not.”

You laughed. “I gotta say, that’s a bit much for a confession.”

He smiled. “I thought so too.”

Band AU: Staff Positions

Figured I should share who the rest of the staff is for the band! Enough keeping it secret.

Black Hat is the band’s manager. He coordinates the band’s events and promotion and business. He was one of the only people who would be willing to take on a band that had a demon member. Dr. Flug helps with tech and special effects. Demencia and 505 are kinda general staff. They do whatever is needed of them. Oftentimes for security or moving heavy things.

Mickey and Ozwald are producers. They used to have their own band back in the day but retired after Oswald’s wife, Ortensia, passed. The started their own recording studio and help the band with recording, creating, and sometimes promotion of songs.

Fanny is kinda like a secretary for the band? She helps coordinate events and makes sure everyone is on time and have everything they need. Ordering meals, booking hotels, transportation, security, etc. She and Hat work pretty closely. They are an absolute MENACE to Cuphead.

Holly is the special effects coordinator. Using her expertise with rune magic to work along side the tech elements. She works closely with Flug, the bbros, and others like my OC Nix (the pyrokinetics coordinator). She also helps in wardrobe if she has a moment.

In wardrobe we have Alice and Cala. Alice is the costume and props designer. Cala is the makeup artist. Holly occasionally chips in to do hair. Tho that really only applies to the Cupbros.

I think that might be everyone that I can remember. Let me know if you think I missed anyone or if there’s someone in IM that you wanna see!

Also, let me know what you think about the set up!

Okie baaaiiiiii

[p1ckthep01son]

god you don't know how fucking badly i want to go back to popstar william au world. i thought writing that oneshot would cure me but it actually just reminded me how good that whole premise and the universe are. it's SOOOO big the original draft that was just a short prologue and one introduction scene was SIXTEEN THOUSAND WORDS and it was so bloated so big so long. i really want to write it as a whole huge au but i just know i would never finish it it would expand and crush me. i want to just write the highlights to at least have something but if i start doing that i know i'll start writing all the connective tissue and it'll kill me dead

[six-of-snakes]

okayy gonna try this bc why the hell not.

if you know about how the music industry works, and are willing to give me a crash course so that i can semi-accurately write about band stuff, i would be willing to write you a short drabble (probably ~1k) in any of my fandoms in return.

more info ig below the cut

here's my basic plot/ideas:

and as for what exactly i need to know: almost everything lol (i had to google what an opening act was lmao) but it doesn't need to be in depth unless that's what you want to do lol. also, i would specifically love info on how touring works and how many like. followers or whatever. is a signifcant amount.

also I tagged all the fandoms I'd be willing to write for
