hiiii laurie <33 academic weapon !?!?! seems fun can i hear about it??

hi royal <333 IT'S MY BARTYLILY STORY and my fic for the marauders with palestine project!! it's an academic rivals au, nsfw, barty encouraging lily's fall from grace while simultaneously trying not to fall in love with her etc

it's gonna be posted this month!! and it's the story i'm focusing on the most rn hehe <3 it's gonna have around 4 chs?? and a dual pov with both barty and lily!! and let me tell u . i'm having the time of my life with it .

i don't wanna give too much away especially when it's gonna be out fairly soon BUT . u can have this snippy of barty and reg being one of the best dynamics in this fic

“Oh, save it, Barty. As if you’re not a lot worse than me. At least I actively try to act like a normal person sometimes.” “You have at least one mental breakdown in the car a day.”  “Yeah. Like a normal person,” Regulus insists, and Barty finds himself frowning slightly. Does Regulus genuinely believe this is ordinary behaviour? Really? “It’s not even your car,” Barty reminds him with both eyebrows arched.  That seems to make Regulus pause, who chews on the inside of his cheek while he tilts his head, considering for a few seconds. “Like a normal poor person,” he concedes with a tiny nod, and Barty snorts so loud he feels the stare of some of the people sitting in the table right next to theirs.  “Reg, c’mon, you’re not actually poor. I’m not even sure you know what being poor means.”  “Yes, I am! I used to be rich and then I got disinherited, that’s literally the definition of poor.” “Well, yeah, if it weren’t for the fact that your brother took you in and he has a pretty decent job.”  Regulus wrinkles his nose. “He’s literally a mechanic.”  “Yeah, but a good one,” Barty reminds him, even if it pains him. The only reason he’s complimenting Sirius Black is because the man himself isn’t present and no one would believe Regulus if he dared to tell. “Like, that shop is basically his, dude.” “Don’t call me dude,” Regulus huffs, mouth curling. “And no, it isn’t. He has a boss, who actually owns that shop, and whose family has owned said shop for generations—” “That’s why I said basically!”

hiii lane <3

i’m very very curious about your barty, what’s going in his head?

hi royallll thank you giving me an excuse to be annoying abt him

i think barty is always searching for something. like there’s an itch in the back of his mind he’ll never be able to scratch. he’s a person who needs to consume, craves a feeling of fullness he’ll never have because he’s never satisfied. so his inner monologue is just “want want want” on a loop. he’s always giving in to his basest desires. he has self control but never exercises it. because he doesn’t deny himself. it’s like he’s perpetually in a burning building where he can smell the smoke but he can’t find the fire. he’s content to burn down with it, though.

P5T marriage thing made me think of this

[lengthofropes]

Alex and Henry + "Boyfriend's Jacket" TV Trope How does a TV show demonstrate that A and B are a couple? How to do it quickly and without making a big deal about it? Simple, A wears B's jacket. This can be more than just an "I like this and I like you" gesture. It can be a symbol of commitment. Sometimes it's a class ring, a necklace, or a favorite hat. The point is that one partner is wearing something that until then was always seen on the other so that the world knows they're a couple.

yay!!!!!!!

typo that im too lazy to fix: on the last page, "kasumi was one of the best gymnasts [in japan]"

edit: BRO I IDDNT REALIZE AKIRA ND SUMIRE WERE SHARING A SPOON TO EAT THE CURRY AM I INSANEEEEE <- She literally drew this image

1st 2 pics are genderbent akira+goro as well as sumire, 3rd pic is canon akira and sumire

in my head m!sumire is dedicated to rhythmic gymnastics, but the fact that it's not a popular sport somehow causes a mental block for him: kasumi was a trailblazer in men's rhythmic gymnastics. he was setting the course, but now he's gone. so does sumire live up to that? does he have to fill his brother's shoes? or can he just strive to be the best rhythmic gymnast he himself can be?

he was always solemn and driven growing up, but after the accident, he drove himself further into his practices and routines in an attempt to "recapture the spark" that kasumi had. of course, this is mostly in vain... chasing his shadow doesn't get him anywhere

he slowly develops the cognition of "sumire" being "kasumi's replacement." the younger brother that stepped up to the plate. to attend to his anxiety/depression he goes to dr. maruki (i'd say this takes longer than in canon, because he was always so busy with practice that he didn't really. comprehend 'oh perhaps i need counseling after my brother died' LMAO. and even then it's more "ok im gonna start competing internationally, so i need to make sure my mental is in tiptop shape"

he starts to reveal his insecurities to dr. maruki who. yknow. does all that. i don't think this sumire would specifically say "i wish i was kasumi" but more "i want to continue his legacy the way only he could have done it" which dr. maruki himself takes as "ok so u want to literally be kasumi"

i'd also say his "transformation" into "kasumi" is more jarring than in canon? canon "kasumi" is polite, eager, cheerful and sunny, but i imagine m!"kasumi" to be more boisterous, more outwardly outgoing/extroverted/outspoken, a little bit of a daredevil

on top of that, i think (perhaps) since men's rhythmic gymnastics isn't super popular, maybe not many ppl have heard of "kasumi yoshizawa" to begin with? so maybe ppl accept him as "kasumi" a little easier, which is. um. bad LOL

not sure if this helps his gymnastics at all. i thinkkk it does give him the confidence to execute more complicated routines that sumire himself didn't have the self-confidence to try before. but, of course, this doesn't affect anything in the rhythmic gymnastics world since. erm. everyone knows kasumi died. awkward!!!!

i think the shame would be all-encompassing when he breaks out of the delusion. he never wanted this.... all he wants is to keep competing with his brother, to keep supporting him into the limelight, and he'll never have that again. so i think, like canon, his arc is learning how to support and uplift Himself -- but more like, become more self-sufficient in terms of his own gymnastics instead of always seeing himself as second place to kasumi (and being okay with that)

it's different than canon as kasumi always told sumire they'd take the world stage... TOGETHER! ->

while i think for m!kasumi and m!sumire they worked in tandem, it was never really a dream. kasumi simply decided "i want to do this" and so did sumire. the thing is, kasumi's skills just far outweighed sumire's, and that much was painfully clear to him. kasumi was one who could bring men's rhythmic gymnastics into the international lens, and sumire has no idea if he could ever be strong enough to do that.

there's an interesting sort of dissonance here....... like. big fish small pond (genderbend au) or small fish big pond (canonverse.) i think its interesting.. okay enough rambles from me its 4am sdjsdjfh

edit: last thing i think. in canon it’s heavily implied that kasumi took the reins and pushed sumire to do stuff / pick out clothes for them both / kinda set the stage for both of them but i think in gb au sumire just follows kasumi as a result of kasumi being such a bright light. sumire has ambitions the same way kasumi does but he lacks the self-esteem to back it up…. it’s similar in canon but not 1:1 if that makes sense? i think in canon sumire is still questioning if it’s even her dream to compete in gymnastics so that’s the main diff
