#what in hell is wrong with my brain but like actually

[kdh-tally]

please please please 🙏 make a part 2 to the role reversal au. You should write about them somehow surviving and their interactions with the boys. It'd be funny too see boys get flustered by hot demon girls😂

Btw ever since you mentioned the 'dark girl crush' concept they I imagine that in the reverse au they give off a mix PIXY and red velvet and pinkfantasy. Maybe with a little bit Sabrina Carpenter and Dove Cameron in there😋

KPDH Swap Au Pt 2

Prompt : Swap Au Continued!!

Author's Note : I went into a deep dive on Pixy after listening to the preview you sent and OMG. I'm so sad they've disbanded bro :((( These aren't proof read... You can read PT 1 here -> Swap AU

They're Back??

Months pass and the boys try to move on.

They’re on a hiatus, Bobby forced them to take one.

Jinu has thrown himself into training.

He was definitely haunted by the loss of Rumi and wasn’t able to get her off his mind EVER. 

Romance and Abby would get closer.

They’d bond over the one who got away ☹️ 

Mystery won’t talk as much, which is bad cause he was barely talking in the beginning.

My guy misses his girl

Well she was never really his girl but he most definitely would've made her his girl if he got the chance yk?

He’s a wreck.

Baby's the only one who's fine.

He does miss the girls a teeny tiny bit though, it was like having three older sister who were constantly trying to kill you.

They never found the girls’ bodies. Just the glowing aftermath of their magic in the air.

Jinu insisted that was the end of the, that there was absolutely no way for them to come back. It was a last goodbye.

He was wrong 💀

A crack opens in the fabric of reality during one of their dance practices.

A portal flashes, a wave of power hits, and out of their ceiling descends them.

Zoey, with her hair still styled down as it was during their final performance.

Mira, casually chewing gum and adjusting her gloves waaay too nonchalantaly.

Rumi, throwing a very playful smirk at Jinu.

What the actual hell?

Mystery just stares.

While he did miss Zoey he hadn’t expected to be faced with her so soon…

He doesn’t speak or move. Actually I don’t think he eve could if he wanted to.

Zoey beams at him “Did ya miss me?”

“I- um.” he’s stuttering and can barely get a word out

Baby has to remind this guy how to breath.

“Out through your nose, in through your mouth.”

Abby’s jaw is dropped. He genuinely forgets what he was doing.

Romance is right beside him, holding onto his shoulder for stability cause bro is scared he might fall over just from Mira’s presence.

“Cute. Still absolutely whipped, huh?” she smirks.

They die.

Jinu goes silent then he’d get angry.

He’d feel like the whole sacrifice thing must’ve just been a joke since they obviously just popped up looking completely fine.

“You look fine for someone who got burnt into pieces right in front of me”

“Would you rather I crawl in here bleeding?” Rumi sassed back, eyes narrowed as she tried to understand just why he was so upset.

“I watched you die, Rumi. So tell me why you’re standing here like nothing happened.”

Ohhhhhh. Jinu’s lost and probably thinks the whole sacrifice thing was a stunt or something since all the girls look fine!

The lightbulb goes on in her brain.

“I thought I was gone for good too,” she admits. “Not sure how I'm here but i meant what I did, Jinu. I’d do it again even if it meant I wouldn’t come back”

The two just stare each other before Jinu pulls her into a hug. 

“Take me with you next time. Living without you is hard”

Getting Forced Into Society

The girls adjust quick.

Lounging in the Saja Boys’ dorm like they own it. 

Mira has her legs up on Abby’s desk as she watches fan videos and theories about what must’ve happened to the girls to make them disappear.

“Someone thinks we were holograms,” she laughs before stopping to look at the boys. “What's a hologram?”

Zoey was poking around in Mystery’s lyric notebook, reading everything he had ever written for her since the day she disappeared.

Mystery is trying not to die of embarrassment. 

Rumi is petting Derpy, the tiger, like he’s her pet.

He might as well be.

Jinu is seething out of jealousy. “That should be me.”

“You’re getting jealous of a tiger?” Abby side eyes him (like ur one to talk 😑).

Baby walks in with food and immediately tries to back out. 

“I’m not dealing with this today.”

Zoey flips her hair and follows him, smirking “C’mon Baby~ You know you missed us”

Rumi and Mira nod in agreement with her words, they missed teasing the guy.

“I hate all of you,” he’d grumble before flopping beside Mira and watching theories with her.

Zoey eventually joins them, she refuses to give Mystery his lyric book back and so he follows her.

All four of them are chilling on the couch.

Mira, abusing her influence, somehow gets Abby and Romance to bring all of them snacks.

Both boys are competing against each other and they don’t even notice.

Rumi is watching them in amusement, and Jinu is watching Rumi.

In this au, Jinu was the one with the Choo Choo pants and Rumi bullied him for it.

Rumi would wear the pants here, after much teasing from Jinu, only because she didn’t have any clothes to change into.

Totally not cause she secretly found them cute or anything…

“So,” she’d turn to him, “what did you do while I was gone?”

“Sleep, eat, miss you, dance, practice, think about you, cook, dream about you, go live, write about you-” Rumi interrupts him by throwing a pillow at his face.

Fan Reactions (Because They’re Public Again)

Time to redebut into kpop society again!!!

Everyone is quivering in their pants because tf you mean the random girl group that appeared, dropped 3 BANGERS, won the idol awards, (almost took all of their souls not that they’d know or anything) have come back???

They’d drop a new album called like Armageddon. 

The girls would eat up “Armageddon” by Aespa

Actually feel like a decent amount of aespa songs would suit them.

Other honorable mentions!!! “Bewitched” and “Swan Song” by PIXY (they have unfortunately disbanded ☹️) “Egoistic” by Mamamoo 🥰

The whole thing is terrifying in a good way

The boys watch all their stages from behind the scenes, or they hide in the crowd but have been caught multiple times because Mystery and Romance are not subtle about their huge crushes.

“She looks even hotter than before. How is that allowed?”

Mira would give a little wave to the camera, knowing they were watching. Abby waves back then realizes she cannot see him amongst the huge crowd 💀

Whenever Rumi sings, she proudly shows off her patterns (feel like in this au she too would be a half demon but so would Jinu). They’re glowing and everything, fans chalk it up to special effects but Jinu is so flustered cause she looks so fineeeeee.

Ship Wars Are Back

Zoeystery

Zoey goes live one day with the Moonies (name i made up after Honmoon lol) and one of em point out a VERY familiar book in the background.

It’s Mysterys.

She picks it up and shows it to the camera, not opening it or reading it for them obvi. 

“A really good friend of mine gave this to me” she smile sweetly to the fans, she knows hes is watching. 

Miromabby

These two are in a constant war for her attention.

Mira doesn’t even plan on choosing, she knows she has both of them under her control.

However, she would make them compete for her affection just for entertainment.

“Watch this,” she’d tell the girls before turning to the boys, holding an incredibly cute lunch bag. “Romance got me lunch.”

“I made it myself!” The man perks up at his name being called. 

“That’s nothing, I cooked her breakfast” Abby would counter.

Fighting ensues.

Rujinu

Jinu sits Rumi down and forces her to record free with him.

It’s not for the fans or anything, its just for them to listen to whenever they miss each other.

It’s all laughs and smiles in the production studio, Jinu refused help from anyone, only wanting it to be them.

They definitely shed a few tears, the lyrics just got so real.

They’d be on the couch, Rumi all snuggled up next to him with her legs over his. She’d be asking about a bunch of human stuff. 

Since she’s back to stay she might as well learn.

Jinu isn’t really listening and just stares at her.

She looks at him in slight confusion and amusement, “Can’t focus?”

“Never can when I’m around you,” he’d kiss her. 

Baby could not care less. He's happy his band members are happy.

All In All

The girls survived

The boys survived

Everyone is alive.

They’re back

Bobby is ecstatic

No one in the kpop industry is safe from both of these absolute powerhouses.

to think means to live — A situationship is never fun, but at least Fiyero seems intent on changing that. word count: 1.15k words a/n: uhhh. i may continue this? i may not. i wrote it at like... 2 AM on my phone and then didn't touch it until today so.

It had been a rough couple of weeks, between your exams, a falling out with a dear friend, and then the confusing situationship you found yourself in with none other than Fiyero Tigelaar. It was as if the universe decided to pile everything up at one time, no break in sight to give you a chance to actually breathe.

Your exams had been difficult—so difficult in fact that you could have sworn you were going to fail (thank Oz that you passed them all—studying came in clutch once again). Your falling out had went pretty quickly, and although it was for good reason, it still hurt you nonetheless. Friendship breakups were difficult, but it made it even worse that she was the reason for the entire situation. And then, of course, there was Fiyero. The prince who had taken your interest and held it in a tight fist as if he were scared it would grow wings and fly away. But of course, you were not a wizard—you had not the abilities to do half of what any regular magic-wielder was capable of. You had your wits and your hands, but beyond that, magic was not on the table.

Fiyero was, to put it simply, a confusing creature. Some days you knew he was interested in you and you quite enjoyed the idea. Others, you wondered what in the hell you had done to gain his attention because he sure as hell didn’t explain to you where this interest came from.

Hell, he was a beautiful man with eyes the color of sapphires and hair the color of autumn leaves dissipating in the wind, floating down from their humble abodes to the dying ground below. You could write poems of his beauty, and scholars for centuries would wonder how this man had captured your heart in so many ways.

But it was just a situationship.

You were friends, first and foremost. You had kissed at the Ozdust ballroom a week ago, and, well, let’s be frank—Fiyero hadn’t talked to you since then.

He had kissed you, though. Was he embarrassed? Hurt that it took you a moment to register what was happening and actually return the kiss?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Regardless, it had happened. It had left you reeling, wondering what went wrong—wondering what the best route to take, wondering what you could do to get him to talk to you again.

As you walked to your dorm room, yawning into your hand, you nearly jumped out of your skin at the sight of Fiyero turning down your hallway. But he didn’t walk away this time. His eyes widened a bit, and your name left his lips in an instant.

“We need to talk,” he said.

You pursed your lips and nodded, unlocking your dorm. “Yeah. I know,” you said. You leave the door open for him and sit your bag by the desk. “You’ve been awfully quiet, lately. Like a ghost.”

“A ghost?” he repeated, giving a small nod. He shut your door behind him and he leaned his back against it, crossing his arms over his chest. “I… understand why you think that.”

“Am I wrong?” you asked, sitting on the edge of your bed. You watched him from across the room, a faint frown toying at the edges of your lips.

“No,” he said, shaking his head. “You are not wrong. I have been… busy, lately.”

“Busy? With what?”

“Things.”

“Things?”

“Thoughts.”

You hummed softly in acknowledgement. You couldn’t help but sympathize. You were but a blimp in the life of a soon-to-be powerful man. You were an anomaly. One that he didn’t seem to have figured out, yet. But why should he? He was always spouting about how not using his brain was best.

Living through life without harrowing thoughts and ideologies would bring peace unknown to many people. But how would life exist? To exist means to think. To think means to live. Without one, you cannot have the other.

Fiyero looked around your dorm room. This was the first time he had actually been in it. It was quaint, much smaller than his, but you made it work. He couldn’t help but notice just how you the room was. Just like everything else, you managed to put a piece of your soul into your work—into your home away from home.

It only solidified his thoughts—it only reinforced his want to be more than friends with you. To care for someone who cared for so much more than just their self… well, he could learn a thing or two from it. He could learn to be better. To be a better prince and a better friend.

“What did you need to talk about?” you asked, leg slightly bouncing as the tension in the room crept up your spine.

“I… don’t…”

You sighed softly and looked away from him.

“I want to be more than friends,” he blurted.

So much for a romantic gesture. Fiyero internally cringed. This was so not him. He was Fiyero Tigelaar for crying out loud! He did not go soft. He did not word vomit to the people he cared for. He did not change his entire confession-style because he got nervous. And yet, here he was, hoping you would say something. Anything.

You say nothing for a minute—almost as if you were tasting his words, devouring his confession, hungry for the chance to be seen by him and only him.

“You… you want to be more than friends?” you asked.

“Yes,” Fiyero said, nodding. “After we kissed, I—“

“—you dipped.”

“I know. And I am sorry. But truly, Y/n, I’ve thought much about everything and you of all people should know what my thoughts have become. They are shrouded by you—by your ghost, by your very soul. I cannot walk away from it—I cannot block it out by working or dancing. It is as if you have wedged yourself in the very muscle of my brain, and I need you to tell me if you want the same thing.”

“Tell… tell you what, that I want the same thing?”

His nod is enough for you to bashfully smile.

“I… of course I would like to be more than friends,” you said. “But that’s not going to cause you any issues, is it?”

“No,” he said, stepping toward you. “And if it does, so be it. But I know this is right. I know that the kiss wasn’t a mistake, but the best choice I have ever made in my life.”

Your face grew warm with your flustered demeanor.

“Perhaps you should make another good choice, Fiyero. I am right in front of you, after all.”

He smiled at your words, and in an instant, the prince closed the gap and pressed his lips to yours, a testament to the truth behind his every word.

[steviewashere]

See, this is sort of what my line of thinking was.

Like, I can understand maybe why he'd attempt to use it; concussions or whatever that may have made him feel dumb. (Which, sure, feeling stupid from literal brain injuries is never fun. Ask me how I know.) Or just the simple fact that he didn't do very well in school and he thinks maybe it'd be useful to him; it'd assist him and whatnot.

The idea that he'd love it wholly is where I feel the grasp slipping on the concept. Him finding out in his own terms that the whole generative AI stuff is actually dumbing him down more than he initially thought—yes. He'd be furious. Not only is it feeding him the wrong information most of the time, but it's also showing him off as stupid because of the information he keeps repeating. It embarrasses him beyond comprehension.

That and finding out that there are people graduating college when they're only getting by on ChatGPT information—and even scarier, they're going into important fields such as medicine or environmental sciences or something or other. It'd make him queasy and uneasy.

The impact that these generative AI machines have on the environment, then subsequently people both here in America and then overseas—maybe he's somebody who is typically aware of the social/political climate and wants to stick up for people (considering his whole I just want to help argument from season one of the show; and more so, it would probably take him a little bit of time to be on the non-bigoted side of history. so all of this would be slow learning for him, but he wants to be aware)—yeah, Steve would be faced with the consequences of his own actions. Not only is he being ridiculed for the way he's regurgitating false information, but also he's directly harming the very world he cares about—people and all.

Him coming to terms with his accidental ignorance and striving to do better, which means educating those who mirror him in many ways, that's something I'd see be true to his character.

Would he use AI to give him answers for a homework assignment or a book report or an essay—y'know, probably, yeah. He'd probably use it a few times. But he wouldn't continue to use it once he begins to learn about it.

If it's not just him making those strives to change, then he's willing to listen to his closest friends when they start noticing discrepancies; hell, we can see Steve listen to his friends in the show (i.e. when Dustin tells him it's uncool to make a joke about knocking his teeth out). When Dustin mocks him right back for something false he said. Or when Robin states something sarcastic about his "hard work". Or, hell, if Nancy read over one of his essays again and realized it read completely opposite of him and she makes a whole ordeal of lecturing him about why it's bad and wrong—or even just the stupidest thing he could do—to use a machine to make him write.

Considering, too that he's one of the "cool guys" in high school (up to a certain point, of course), the direct influence he has on other people matters. Because, yeah, here's Steve Harrington in his polos and his cool shades and he's got girls hanging off his arms and he's charismatic and fun—so he's approachable to people like him. People like Tommy and Carol are going to approach him and start bragging about using AI, but the moment they realize that their cool guy ring leader is staunchly against using AI for anything—going as far to say that he tried it, but it only made him look lame—then maybe they'd stop. As soon as they're told they're lame by somebody they have looked up to or hung off of or relied on as their monolith of "cool guy" credit—yeah, they'd probably start feeling really fucking uncool for even using it in the first place.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm just rambling at this point. But the idea that he'd love it is a little too out there for me as a headcanon. Like, yeah, he'd probably like it the first few times he uses it because he believes it's "helping" him, but as soon as his close friends question his resources or the moment he gets a worse grade on an essay—Steve would let it fall away from him.

On a side note here:

Imagine if Dustin finally wrangled Steve into playing D&D and then Steve shows up with a character he made using AI. Imagine that for me.

Do you know how angry and appalled Dustin would be? Just full stop, "You can't even use your fucking sports knowledge or something to just make a character? You just had to have a computer do it for you? Where's the fun and creativity in that? That's lame, Steve. Coming from me, that's super lame."

Just a kid he thought of as somewhat of a geek, considered uncool to most people, calling Steve Harrington a lame loser for having a machine create a character for him? Not only that, but a kid that he thinks of as sort of his little brother—who, in turn also looks up to Steve? Yeah, Steve would start rethinking a lot about what he's actually doing.

If he can think it's uncool to harm one person—his ex-girlfriend no less—for a word (granted, a shitty and misogynistic word) spray painted on a theater; then I think Steve is capable of thinking it's uncool to harm entire communities over his attempt at cruising by in high school. Or college. Or just life.

Deadass just saw a pin over on Pinterest that said that Steve Harrington would love ChatGPT and c.ai

No, he'd love cheating like a fucking loser or just not caring. But the moment somebody told him what this AI bullshit does—environmentally and also to your fucking brain—he'd fucking despise it. If he wants misinformation, he'll just go ask Dustin when the kid's feeling self righteous.

AI is turning y'all into a mush of pure shit.

[autism-alley]

ik it’s been forever in internet time but i’m gonna die mad abt the way the live action atla show got a good amount of backlash and criticism from the fanbase meanwhile the pjo show was THAT horrendous and the fanbase treats critics like they’re out to kill their mother. as someone in both fandoms am i crazy bc i keep fucking seeing people say yes 💀 like!! these shows, whose original series were both about a 12 year old boy born with godlike powers going on quests with his friends to save the world, released in the 2000s, and had a shitty movie adaptation, now reboots released within weeks of each other, both committed nearly identical crimes of character assassination, exposition dumping, dumbing down their source material, sanitizing “problematic” elements (that the characters originally had to overcome), and wasting actor potential (also at least live action atla had good action scenes CANNOT say the same for the pjo show)—and i’m seeing like mainstream(ish) social media coverage of new atla show critique by people with millions of followers all across different sites, but nothing even close to that for the pjo show?? if that coverage exists for the pjo show somebody fucken send it to me bc like!! the pjo series is Not an unpopular series, i get it’s a book series and not a tv series so i didn’t expect the popularity to be exactly the same, but Damn! i feel like i need an hours long video essay comparing the two audience reactions to these series’ first season releases bc they were WIDLY different
