#or symphony or something

[scooter-ing]

continuation of my lwa highschool musician au thingie

just some light brainstorming/character building:

idkkk ive done some reconsideration regarding what diana would be doing, and thinking about it now i think akko and diana both being violinists works well bc violinists are VERY competitive, and they are both very good at what they do. so they both compete for first chair.

some characters will be band kids, but this will all work out because of the symphony orchestra in which there are brass/woodwind/percussionists

akko and diana are both violinists (already established and decided now)

sucy would be a cellist defo, she gives off wednesday vibes

lotte would be a violist, bc of her whole thing of being "doesnt-matter-if-shes-there-or-not lotte the invisible"

amanda gives off band percussionist vibes that plays the full drum kit for the jazz band

constanze is prob a clarinet or something that's tedious to put together in the band. bc she's all mechanical so

jasminka is either a double bass player or a euphonium. either one

barbara and hannah are definitely the second violin first desk because they need to even out the section. they're good just not as good as diana

chariot is a violinist (previously established)

croix i am a little bit iffy about im not too sure tbh. i want her to be another music director at their school im just not sure what kind of role she'll play yet. i WILL be writing charoix beware

very caught between writing hannah x amanda (idrk where that ship even came from tbh) & barbara x lotte OR barbara x hannah. they're all like really cute and i can enjoy them. idk i cant really write polyamory well it's not really my area of experience

anyway im posting this all for feedback and/or suggestions so if you have any plz plz plz lemme know

I also like to add some angst into this AU with how Yuu can’t believe in soulmates/can’t feel all ranges of the feelings, of love, or even a little of them, because they are magic-less/from another world

( ͡º ꒳ ͡º) I am so glad you see my vision

I'm not big on writing unrequited feelings, or one-sided soul mates! But I do like adding doubt. Personally, I think these kinds of AUs can be so of boring when they take the road that just getting to meet the soul mate guarantees the relationship will be successful. Being bound to someone by the deepest, unspoken part of yourself should be terrifying. The work and choice it takes to maintain a relationship shouldn't go away because of the bond, it should be intensified by it. I have mentioned the Wayhaven Chronicles here before (it's an interactive fiction about vampires) but I really like the author's take on soulmates/soul bonds as she has been expanding on them in her series so for my own au I'm going to take some inspiration from that.

Just because Yuu feels the soul bond doesn't mean they know what it is, or want it for that matter. It's inconvenient, they don't want to date someone and form a deep connection that will tempt them to stay and abandon their home. I like your suggestion that because they are magicless they can't feel the full range of emotion the bond causes σ(￣、￣=) I like the idea of them just mistaking it for normal attraction and not something that will leave both them and the other person in deep pain if it's severed. And Yuu might be the sort of person who doesn't believe in soulmates for that matter! They might be resistant to it, angry that they are in love and angry that they can't go home. No matter what happens they're losing something irreplaceable.

The soul bond places more strain on the boys because of their magic, so they are more aware of it's presence and more effected by the desire to be close to Yuu at all times. I could see the magic trying to make up for Yuu's inability to feel the full range of emotion by pulling on him harder, desperate to be realized. My original angsty thoughts sort of teetered towards the yandere spectrum, as I could see a scenario where a truly delusional person thought that because they had this soul bond with Yuu that made whatever life they had in their world irrelevant. Clearly they were supposed to be in Twisted Wonderland all along, there's no reason for them to go back and he has a personal vendetta against whoever cause you to be trapped in a different dimension than him in the first place... but in the reverse since I am cooking something for Rollo atm and have him on the mind, I think he would try to accompany Yuu back to their world. He could see his bond to Yuu as a sign they are a benevolent spirit meant to guide him to a world without magic... I could also see someone coming to resent Yuu since they were happy not having a soulmate. They're vulnerable now, and they somehow can't bring themselves to hate Yuu because the more they try the deeper they fall in love with them so they just end up hating themselves.

There is much potential for angst in soulmate aus without making the feelings reciprocated hehehe

I just finished a reread of Symphony and realized something. Donnie records everything right? Possibly including the conversation between him and Viola-Chan in Chapter 22. Would Donnie listen back to that conversation at some point after he realizes his feelings? I think the “scared to touch important people” line would be DEVASTATING. The guilt alone would be insane.

so, two things i have in response to this, anon-chan!

first, i would caution you against falling into the very same trap that viola-chan almost did in that very section of the fic:

that said, second:

i'm making another vampire oc because i have no self control but look at these icons that i've made so far for him

[samstarium]

stop me if i sound insane but i think there's a double meaning here. "player or piece?" obviously refers to the literal terms scratch has laid out; actual game player or game piece, but also a musical definition. is vriska the player of the music, or the music piece itself?
