UNHOLYFMS EVENT 002: ARCANUM NIGHTS

Glass House has invited its favorite angels and demons of Los Angeles' elite to celebrate their 65th anniversary upholding their definition of divinity by being one of the most sought after memberships in the city. They have handpicked residents of the city of angels to be in attendance to ring in another decade adorned with delicately crafted drinks, cuisine, and performances.  However, this isn't just any party. Glass House is known for how difficult it is to get a membership because of how they regard their guests with exits no flashing camera has access to and secret events only members are privy to. Though, a scandal is underway as the new management of the restaurant and club has been selling in-house photos and even selling temporary passes as a way to gain more cash under the table. On July 28th, their anniversary may be their end as well as the reputation of those in attendance as their secrets will be exploited as evidence that even the mighty have dirt under their fingernails, and even they can fall. What hangs in the balance is if they can survive the crash when their reputation takes a strike.

SUMMARY: Glass House is hosting their 65th anniversary celebration by inviting all their members to be in attendance. The restaurant and clubhouse is known for its privacy and difficulty to snag a membership, as its built to ensure security and privacy for all those who are apart of it. However, there's been staff selling secrets and as a way of exposing that just because you're a member you're not better than anyone else, they'll be outing secrets of all guests. The project has been in the works for weeks as soon as the guest list was made. Throughout the night, secrets will be revealed throughout the venue despite not being attached to a particular name. It's up to those in attendance to either ignore it, tear it down, but above all else not let the paranoia ruin their night.

As someone who has never even touched ATLA (anime), and has only ever seen the movie, let me give you a list of reasons why i absolutely adored it :

aang is literally a kid in this one, like he's a child hero and golden boy, and god, doesn't your chest hurt a little from seeing all that youth pain and pain? don't you feel raw?

katara is a total badass. i know some of the anime fans don't like how she's different, but i look up to her so much and she's younger than me canonically. i would die for her. i esp like the fact that she saw jet, liked him, but the second she realised he was kind of a cult-leader she went fuck that shit im out

ZUKO IS A SMALL BABY I WANT TO PET HIM HE'S A SMALL CHILD HE IS MY SMALL CHILD HAVE YOU EVER FELT SO TERRIBLY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU WISH TO EXIST IN A TIME WHERE YOU COULD HELP IT HEAL

sokka being a playboy/summer-fling/taylor swift's james from the love triangle coded kinda guy makes so much sense. in the movie he was obsessed with one (1) girl and that never made sense to me. like okay bby pop off monogamous king??? but i definitely feel that sokka is not the kind of person (esp in this time of his life) to be a one-woman guy. also i want to see him get in trouble for it sorry idk

iroh is zuko's dad and none of y'all can convince me otherwise.

i am so obsessed with jet he's literally babygirl. sebastian ATE TF UP!!!!!!

the complexities of monk gyatso being a friend and sort of a parental figure. how aang brought out his childish side, and how life is so terribly aching and huge with grief. how it's palpable in every room. and how love is an intimate boyfriend to time's cruelty and god why can't we let there be tenderness? this isn't fair.

FLUFFY!!!!! BIG!!!!! DOG!!!!! I LOVE APPA!!!!!! HES SO CUTE!!!!!!

ozai is more despicable that any father ive read about or even my own. i wish him all the most terrible forms of daily death.

absolute brilliant fucking chad actors (sorry for using the f-word and c-word) they're absolute g's. i love every single one of them and their ability to act and their personalities and also THEY HAVE A BIG WATER BISON THAT LOOKS ADORABLE HOW ARE YOU NOT HAPPY (SORRY FOR USING THE B-WORD)??????

Rant being over, I respect y'alls opinions fr. I get that seeing somethings change or become different in a new iteration of your favorite work is tough. But let's remember the amount of effort and time it takes for these actors, sets and even storyboard artists to work on these things!!!! Life is so terribly short, why must you fill your time with dissatisfaction? Find the things you love about the new show!! Find the positives!!!

also azula is so luke castellan coded

Ok cue my memory loss moment part 5 I can’t tell if I sent this reply in or not before so if this is a dupe I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE hsvshshs but anyways

OMG EVERYONE CHEER!!! Guys the moment is finally upon us…another mira banger about to drop….

LMAOO fwtkac was the gateway…once you start you can’t stop its just how the Karasu rabbit hole works! Bro hollyhock is actually so good…I can’t even put it into words properly but just the whole setting giving a new depth to a diff side of otoyas characters ugh so good

True!!! I’m ngl I’m a little surprised that for marketing sake they didn’t try to throw in some like popular character bait…maybe it’s because most of the actually popular bllkers are already out and as opposed to merch I guess book sales would be a bit diff? Like fans would buy to read even if their absolute faves aren’t in but yeah…the stories were fire though LMAO new appreciation for Barou fr

And IM ON IT o7 very happy to serve the miraverse and honestly it’s good for me too because if I wanna reference something quickly I can just go command f it or if I wanna read something fast I can just read my tl LMAO I also just like having my own TL/interpretations written down just for my reference too…which is part of the reason why I also ended up TLing Hioris too even though there was a TL already out! I remember reading the TLd version that got posted and some wording kinda threw me off so I was like let me just look at this myself…LOL Also I’m kinda a lore nerd so I wanna make sure I get to see any intricacies or in between the line messages that can get lost in translation! So yeah TLDR I will most definitely be here for tabieita LNs!!!

IM CRYING they’re gonna have to scroll through our manifestations and convos just to get to the chapter like imagine the link gets passed around and the first thing people read is us screaming about mariokart in yuki’s novel or anri getting done dirty (I clicked on the links just to see what they’d have to go through and oh my god chapter 2 LMFAOOO there’s like a whole minute of scrolling worth of convo before you even reach the LN part it’s so funny)

We’re truly just built different sorry this is exclusive content gatekept by the insanely long convos we have

-Karasu anon

HAHAH this time you did in fact send this in already 😭 but it’s okay i will delete the copy!! but no worries 😋

FINISHED ROUND ONE OF PROOFREADING!! heading to monaco for my mother’s birthday dinner soon hehe but once i’m back tn i will get on round two and hopefully i’ll be able to post it by tmrw!! lowkey idk how i feel about it but at least it’ll be out in the world after i’ve been talking abt it sm 😭

you came to my inbox and showed me the ways of karasuism and i’ve never looked back since 🙏🏻 jkjk but fr though i love writing him sm now he’s so good at the one sided pining thing which i loveee in a male lead 🤩 like YESSS be absolutely sick over this girl who doesn’t even know she likes you yet YESSS 🤤💖

hollyhock otoya is so fun i love him and i cannot WAIT to write more of him and y/n…idk if you’ve heard that one tik tok sound that’s like “you belong with me” from taylor swift and then it transitions into “you belong to me” from house of balloons / glass table girls from the weeknd but that’s literally hollyhock y/n + karasu’s dynamic vs her dynamic with otoya 😭😭😭 like with karasu it’s all sweet innocent besties (they are platonic soulmates coded eventually like they end up loving each other SOO MUCH but not romantically??) vs with otoya she’s literally like “i want you to belong to me” (exact quote from chapter 2: “you wanted this ninja to belong to you”) FHDKSJSJ man atp free otoya 😰🙏🏻 but he matches y/n’s freak so well he probably doesn’t even WANT to be freed

i feel like the people who would buy light novels would buy them no matter what + they probably thought barou would be popular enough to carry it?? who knows…agreed though the stories were all rlly good (well aryu’s was a little goofy but wtvr)

LMAOOO THAT’S WHAT I WAS THINKING people will be like “why are they freaking out over mario kart??” FJSJDJS but ykw if you want to read you have to go through the trials and tribulations of our massive convos 🤩 we are elite though…carrying the bllk fandom with our translations + fics 😋

THE SINGER-SONGWRITER AU!!! 🖤🤍 the amount of back and forth pining that would happen 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️when u said gale could literally hand john a song called being in love with ur best friend, the first song that came into my head was dress by taylor swift (they’re so taylor coded to me in every au 😭🩵)

i feel like before they get together gale would sometimes slip in subtle, specific details & sometimes not even notice he’s doing but at the same time sometimes does it on purpose too (ex : he’d write about stuff they’ve done together before, places they’ve been together together) john would be all like ??? this feels familiar… and he’d go through an internal conflict that’s like from hell to back because it kinda feels like it’s about him but then there’s no way it could be about him right? and gale would be so frustrated because why isn’t john taking the damn hint but also why is he singing the songs with so much emotion like is he relating to it?? has he done this stuff with someone else too?? they both really do share one brain cell when it comes to each other, my dense, pining babies 😭🩵 these two definitely have the most dramatic getting together, im talking like in the pouring rain sort of love confession, i love them

also, when you say they write the most sappiest songs once they get together (I SO AGREE) the first song that came to mind was can’t help falling in love (shoutout to austin’s elvis, you will never be forgotten <33) at this point, i have a whole playlist for them in my head

again, so sorry this got so rambly 😭😭 sending you loads and loads of love, my favourite person on this app!! 🩵🩵🩵

AHHAHHA you so get it and put it into words better than i ever could!!! i have to admit i’m not very familiar with taylor’s music but if you have more songs for a playlist i’d love to hear!!

uuf i can imagine bucky’s inner turmoil, like the amount of guts it would take to actually ask ”hey, is this fucking song about me??” because if it wasn’t he’d never forgive himself for ruining his friendship AND the greatest artistic collaboration of his life all at once… but when he doesn’t, i need gale to follow the ”i’m in love with my best friend but he just doesn’t get it” with ”HOW ARE YOU THIS DENSE (idiot ((affectionate))” 😭😭

okay but i just listened to aurora’s ”exist for love” today and this is what i imagine buck writes for bucky after they get together:

need to develop this further, thank you for your contribution!!!!! austin’s elvis covers are the most romantic soundtrack to keep working on this 😍

[divinemare]

My ACOTAR OC’s as Taylor Swift Albums

i honestly don’t know why i hadn’t done this before

MAREENA

A Court of Gods and Monsters

Folklore

i was a bit conflicted with my girl at first bcos i feel she could perfectly be a lover girl, but also a Taylor Swift girl, or maybe even 1989, like my girl is versatile yk

but i think this is me trying was what really sold it for me, especially for the mareena i have planned in the future

also peace and epiphany, i just really could picture her u know

KALLISTRADE

Dark Tides

Reputation

“there will be no explanations there will just be reputation” something that kallistrade would 100% say

PLS THIS ONE WAS THE MOST OBVIOUS

literally EVERY SINGLE SONG fits her

‘im sorry, the old taylor (kallistrade) can’t come to the phone right now. why? oh, CAUSE SHE’S DEAD

do i need to say more? like…

…ready for it? king of my heart EVEN GETAWAY CAR are so kallistrade and azriel coded

DEMETRIA

Cold Starlights

1989

this one was HARD

i also kind of saw her as a midnights girl, but after hearing all the songs in this album again i was convinced

bad blood definitely gives me demetria at the spring court vibes

wildest dreams is what i pictured playing in the scene where demetria and nyx are staring at the northern lights

also i wish you would, wonderland and style are veeeery demetria and nyx coded

ARIADNE

Legend of a Mortal Love

Midnights

omg ‘you’re on your own, kid’? HEARTBROKEN

karma truly is her boyfriend

she roots for the anti-hero u know what i mean?

maroon and snow on the beach gives me such sweet rhys and ariadne vibes

the GREATH WAR AND BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE SKY GOT ME CRYING THINKING ABOUT THEM

and, of-fucking-course ‘DO I REALLY HAVE TO CHARM THE CONSTELLATIONS IN HIS EYES’

[otrtbs]

regulus is reputation, James is lover

Rosekiller is just reputation

Remus is Red and Sirius is 1989

Dorcas seems like Red and Marlene is Reuptation

this THIS is something I can and WILL talk about forever !!!!!! (Sorry in advance!!)

James is Lover! This is something that is so right and true!! Tell me he would not obnoxiously scream London Boy at Regulus just to annoy him so much !!!!! Dancing to Lover w Regulus in the kitchen at night !! Blasting Paper Rings while he cleans the house, mopping and doing laundry and humming it to himself when he does dishes and he doesn’t see regulus blush PROFUSELY EVERYTIME BC HE KNOWS JAMES IS THINKING ABT HIM

Regulus gives me such Folklore vibes (to me) the 1, THIS IS ME TRYING, PEACE, ILLICIT AFFAIRS, even my tears ricochet are so Regulus Black coded to me !!

Rosekiller is Reputation!! Definitely Reputation!! I Did Something Bad, Call It What You Want,,, yeah YEAH they’ll pretend not to listen to Taylor swift but they will defend this album w their lives if u speak bad abt it

Lily Evans is Fearless !! Love Story, You Belong With Me,,,, she’s belting this album out so loud alone in her room dancing in her pajamas using her hairbrush as a microphone and PERFORMING!!

Marlene gives me Speak Now vibes ngl she went home and played Enchanted 28304927 times after meeting Dorcas but would rather die than tell anyone bc she knows it’s cheesy she screams Better Than Revenge in her car even though she feels slightly bad at the anti-feminist nature of it, The Story of Us, Mean!! She lives for it!! She crusades against John Mayer because of Dear John!!!

Remus is Red !! I l Knew You Were Trouble and he thinks abt Sirius,,, He drunkenly sings We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together w the girls after him and Sirius “break up” for the 3949328 time, he argues that Jake Gyllenhaal is worse than John Mayer w Marlene

Sirius gives me Reputation vibes idk I feel like New Years Day is his favourite off the album but it’s tied w Don’t Blame Me. Also …READY FOR IT? That is Sirius abt Remus !!!!!!!!! Gorgeous,, these are Sirius Black

Dorcas gives me 1989 vibes!! She sings How You Get The Girl with Marlene and laughs because she’s so overwhelmed w happiness!! I Know Places!! Shake It Off is her guilty pleasure song! She listens to Style religiously

Mary is TS (is this controversial?? maybe) but Should’ve Said No is her song!!! Also Picture to Burn !!! Our Song changed her life when it came out she watched the music video obsessively

Peter listens to Weezer (JK JK IM NOT GONNA DO HIM LIKE THAT) Peter gives me Evermore vibes. Tolerate It!!! Closure !!! Right Where You Left Me!! These are Petter Pettigrew coded !!! Also he related every couple he can to Champagne Problems!! Watching Little Women w Jo and Laurie “it’s just like Champagne Problems when Taylor says…” The Notebook when Noah and Allie are going through it “It’s just like in Champagne Problems when…” lmaoooo

[desticuleconfessions]

hey desticule. so i have a supernatural-themed girl best friends story that i’ve wanted to share for a long time, especially because none of my irl friends ever rly understood the gravity of this experience w/o the context of spn. there’s a lot of fun parallels to stuff on the show, and its given me like years of brain rot and therapy lmao. so i really deeply appreciate this page as an outlet, thank you so much to the mods for making it. anyways uh. here goes. sorry it’s so long.

[tw: queer trauma, religious trauma, mental illness]

okay so. in 3rd grade i met this girl. we'll call her kate. we became best friends, as in our names were never spoken separately, we did (and won) every science fair together, she came skiing with my family every winter, i stayed with her family at their beach house in the summers, our younger siblings were friends, etc.

our birthdays were exactly 6 months apart (jan 22/jul 22) so we literally believed that we were celestially intertwined.

we wrote a novel together in 8th grade. her family is baptist, we attended massachusetts catholic schools. i would go to church with her family when i slept over, i held hands and said grace with them at meals. they are all tall and blonde and beautiful. classically angelic. i am south asian. i remember introducing her to harry potter in the 4th grade, her mother hadn't let her read em because it was "blasphemous", but i snuck her my copies and she would read them during lunch n recess and keep them in my locker. sorry this seems like a lot of unnecessary detail but it will be important later.

anyways we both got into doctor who and subsequentally supernatural (s1-8?9 at the time). i specifically remember getting her into supernatural. i also remember her instinctive disdain for destiel when i talked about it, i was showing her a meta or fanfic i think, and i talked her through undoing some of her christian household’s internalized homophobia (fully assuming we were both straight at this point) (we were fucking 12). we'd do the whole "bitch" "jerk" thing, i (the older one) affectionately called her 'sammy', her phone password was dean, mine was cas (and they still are). on my 13th birthday, she gifted me a samulet, which i still wear to this day. (additionally, she gave me a vonnegut 'so it goes' necklace one year) (thats not vital but) (goes to show the extent of my dean coding) (im also an aquarius lmao). im highly protective of her. i carry extra rubber bands on my wrist for her. i keep our money and phones in my jacket when the school takes us skiing. i sit next to her in the halls during lunch and organize her binder. on an 8th grade field trip, a boy made a gross comment at her and i broke his nose.

so we start high school together at coed catholic school nearby, i join debate, make a friend also into spn, she's bi. she asks kate out over text. kate's mom sees this. things turn.

now the rest of these things happened over the course of a couple months and due to my trauma memory loss, i have no idea how accurate some of these memories are so uh. don't hold me to them.

- her highly religious mother is not happy with this obviously. at some point, she brings a priest home and tries to have kate exorcised.

- at this point, we learn that kate is schizophrenic; it never seemed to create noticeable issues before bc her home life and childhood was a perfect happy dream (not an assumption, her words).

- she's still coming to school, sporadically now, i bring home her work, spend hours helping her.

- when she comes to school, she has seizures: sometimes we're fortunate enough that they happen in a class we have together. she freezes up and the teacher empties the room. i refuse to leave. i hold her hand and softly sing her favorite song and sometimes she comes back to me. sometimes she doesn’t and the bell rings and the teacher forces me to leave and let the nurse handle it.

- another time they announce a medical lockdown (to keep ppl out of the hallway if someone is being escorted to an ambulance) while im in catholicism class, i immediately know it’s her; she fainted in the pool during swim team practice.

- i stay awake for 6 days straight bc i read online that sleep deprivation induces some of the same symptoms as schizophrenia and if i could understand what she was going through, i could help her

- she shows up at my house w both of her parents 15 minutes before the winter ball, begs me to go bc her parents will only let her if i go. so i do. her mom lurks by the gym doors with the chaperones. during a slow song, kate and debate girl start to slow dance, i grab our friend’s hand, drag him in front of them so her mom can’t see and make out with him.

- i wanted to tell her to stop but i was too afraid i would lose us, that it would seem like i was homophobic or i was jealous, but i knew her in my marrow and it didn’t seem like she was in love or into the relationship, it was willful self destruction

- we talked in the last few years, she confirmed this.

- at some point, she says she’s sorry she didn’t tell me about the voices before.

- when we talk, she’s not her anymore, she doesn’t remember our inside jokes, our codes, i can feel her being slowly ripped away and apart in real time

- i have a vivid memory of arguing with her and her telling me im not real, that her mind made me up, while occasionally speaking to something? someone? else in the room. i hold her hand and point to the matching thin scars on our thumbs and try to convince her im real.

- she eventually drops out entirely, taken to some mental facility that im not entirely sure wasnt conversion therapy (it was definitely a religious facility) (and conversion therapy was not outlawed in new hampshire until 2019) and im not allowed to see her.

- every now and then i get cryptic distressing emails or texts from her.

- one in particular has the subject, “youandiwalkafragilelineihaveknownitallthistimebutineverthoughtidlivetoseeitbreak” which is the first line of the song ‘haunted’ by taylor swift (our shared favorite)(the summer after this happened we collectively decided we needed a new swift Our Song and chose ‘breathe’). the body of the email read “what the hell have i done”

- i pray for the first time in my life, every single day for a few months, in different languages, at temple with my parents, in the chapel at school

- on a club trip, i get a call at 2am from her, crying, asking me why i didn’t help her, why i didn’t stop her, that it was my job to protect her

here’s something i wrote about her, three yrs after:

I wasn’t careful enough and she caught quickly. She burned so close and so bright that for long afterwards, I could not see. And like that, she was gone. I walked into the chapel. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

[that last line is from the latin version for a catholic prayer called the act of contrition, it translates to “through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault”]

in the fall, i hear she’s starting at a small baptist school almost an hour from her house. she is dating the principal’s son. the principal is also her pastor.

in my second year of college, i have a bad acid trip in a snowy park in december. i put my hands into the snow and when i look at them,i see blood. i see her body in the snow adorned like it’s a funeral

i still have dreams about her. sometimes i meet her in a grassy field, flying kites and i invite her to my wedding. in others, i catch a glimpse of her ponytail and catholic school skirt and chase her up eight flights of stairs and when i grab her hand, she turns to ash.

at some point in a separate argument w my parents in which they went through my texts and found out i wasn’t straight (amongst other things) my dad says:“i knew i should’ve listened to [kate’s dad] when he told me the things you would talk about. he knew what you are. and he took his daughter away from you.”

last christmas we met up and drove around together, she tells me that for years she thought i hated her for letting me down and for abandoning me, and i literally have the dean winchester in ‘sacrifice’ five stages of grief when sam says “you know what i confessed in there?” because i could not even begin to fathom that she ever blamed herself. it had always been my fault. i had failed to save her. i corrupted her and i failed to save her.

anyways she’s fine now, she’s okay, im okay, we’ve talked and unpacked and we’re alright. but uh. yeah. that happened. the parallels make me crazy. now they can make you crazy too.
