#BeeMeru

[echopaulens]

Hello I'm still alive, have some OreMeru aka ■■■■ !

(Fan design by me)

[mihai-florescu]

And before i go to bed i shall leave with one final thought of the day. KanamePs who hate beemeru and want him to suffer are fucking red flags lmao

[mayoiayasep]

do you think we could get a reimei lookback

[wataeicentric]

After many hours (three) and many headaches (five) I have finally created a timeline of everyone’s ages in Enstars, in hopes to put something like a stop to the constant controversy. I tried to have this timeline make as much sense as possible, with a similar layout to the !-Era chronological story order page on the Enstars Wiki, and, right at the end, under the cut and after the timeline itself, I explain how I got these ages. However, I have just two things to note. 1. This spans from !-Era to !!-Era, though did not omit ALKALOID and Crazy:B from the !-Era section, because it still shows how old they would have been, had they been in it, but they have the words ‘Not in this Era’ next to their name, incase someone new happens to come across this who doesn’t know yet. And 2. I refer to the HiMERU who is 17-18 and born on the 7th of July as ‘Kaname’ since we know these are his details, not oremeru/beemeru’s, and the only details we do have on his age are that he's most likely the oldest, having ran away from home after his mother's death without the knowledge of his father having another child, and it wouldn't make a lot of sense for someone who's 6/7 or younger to run away from home.

That being said, the timeline is under the cut ! I hope someone else gets as much use or even just satisfaction out of this as I do lmfao

So... for those who wanted the explanation, this was all very convoluted to figure out, but using the official ages from the character pages on the Enstars website ( https://ensemble-stars.jp/ ) which are all their ages as of the first of July. If their birthday is after that, then they turn a year older than the given age, if it’s before, then they’re only just turning that age. It’s simple in retrospect, but it gave me a migraine trying to wrap my head around it.

With that out of the way I’ll share a couple little facts that my silly Enstars brain picked out that it found interesting from this :  The eldest and youngest characters are in the same unit, Wataru is the youngest graduate, Tomoya was the youngest character during !-Era , and Rei was the oldest, the fact that as of the first of July in !!-Era, Tsukasa and Sora are seventeen years old, and the fact that AKATSUKI and 2wink are the only units in which the members are all the same age!!

[non-fantasy]

So there's HiMERU

And there's Kaname

And we don't actually know anything about HiMERU except that he's Kanames older half-brother but the gist of the story is Kaname got hospitalised and is now in a coma because of the reimei revolution and it was a whole thing and he's still in a coma and so HiMERU took his stage identity and pretends to be him so he can "secure his little brother a place in the industry" and again it's this whole thing and I'm really not doing the absolute mess that is Obbligato any justice but yeah long story short sense HiMERU (Beemeru) is Kanames big brother who stole his identity because he thought he'd be doing kaname a favour for when he wakes up from his coma.

(completely ignoring that that is bound to end in absolute Desaster)

oh. oh no. that's. oh no..... oh noooooo...

[the-cooler-enstars]

time for that himeru post i promised! but um sike it's kind of about both the tojous. whoops! but it has some extra stuff about beemeru. so it works out? anyway, this post is just gonna go over the basics of himeru/tojou stuff after kaname recovers from his coma— because he gets to do that here— and our beemeru! under the cut lol

after the standard recovery stuff for kaname, as he begins to prepare to re-enter the idol scene, there's… a bit of a problem! and that's the himeru persona, and his sibling who currently wears it! after some juggling, kaname retakes the himeru persona and joins crazy:b (a bit begrudgingly at first, but he'll warm up to them!)

but then what of kaname's sibling? they didn't just cease to exist, after all! at first, they basically just go radio silent, but they're eventually dragged back into nonsense because that's just crazy:b, baby! they stay on the sidelines for a while, before officially joining the producer's association and becoming a producer at ibara's suggestion.

but! before becoming a producer, kaname's sibling comes out as trans— and her name is yua.

yua was a psych major at college prior to taking control of the himeru persona, being a bit of an academic overachiever and having skipped multiple grades. they're only around rinne's age. she's skilled at analyzing people, but has trouble applying what she knows to herself, and tends to ignore any problems she has (which are a lot, actually, but we're not getting into that right now). she's reclusive and a little shy, but picking up the himeru persona allowed her to get a bit more confident via the classic "fake it til you make it." after handing the himeru persona back to kaname, she likes to act no nonsense and seem reliable, but she is also not completely immune to silliness from time to time…

there's. a lot. of Tojou Lore tbh but like i said. basics! and i really wanted to introduce y'all to yua first! hope y'all like them as much as i do!

[yume-fanfare]

I pitch you: tbhk/enstars crossover/AU/Stageplay Idea call it whatever.

So the Aoi Twins in the roles of Tsukasa and Amane, which one is which is still up for debate. Nene has no counterpart yet I will have to think on that. btw I'm still thinkinga bouot the coffeeshop AU you sent me once. Torikasa as Mitsukou and Eichi would be the Teru role in this with Tori being the dead one and Tsukasa being a very young and eager exorcist (doesn't really fit but consider. I really want to see Eichi in a Teru position), Alternatively you can have hiiai or so in there with Rinne occupying the Teru role that'd work too but I'm still hung up on Akane and Aoi because they're so connected to Nene and chosing them would limit those possibilities in a way I don't feel like figuring out right now. oh yeah Tatsumi and Kaname also work in the Mitsukou roles but I'm not sure who'd get the Teru in that one... BeeMeru maybe. I have not thought this through at all I just thought the concept would be fun so most of this stops working out when you the sheer size of that cast and interpersonal dynamics of it all

eichi is so terucore i need to see him on a teru role so bad. like he's already like that with tori kinda down to the "you're too weak to inherit the family business"/"you're too immature to be trusted with my business matters". characters i need to put in a box

and tsukasaaaaa tsukasa is indeed so bright-eyed newbie-coded. he still is, in a way. but with the way he's also very stuck in his Honor ways it'd be interesting to see him in such a situation too

i think aoikane should be one of enstars insane pairs of childhood friends that's kind of their charm point. who in enst is deranged enough to achieve that jump from comic relief to genuinely heart-clenching couple. maybe rtmo could do it but putting ritsu in anything is a complex endeavor. but mao Is in the student council with eichi there is some stuff you could do there if you reverse a few roles........

hiiai have The mitsukou dynamic ive been sayinggg, just with lower stakes. at the same time i feel bad about putting anyone in mitsuba's position because that means So Much Trauma. though there have been Instances in which they have this strong tetohina energy lately (and it's only partly the suicidal ideation,) but yea assigning anyone as hinata comes with a whole lot of other stuff. i can totally see tetora as kou though..... and maybe teru as chiaki would check out yeah they too have that whole responsibility thing going on (<-has yet to read comet show. and climax). kaname though. kaname has Been There. i haven't read obbligato either but i can see it...............

but yeah this doesn't work as much if you think about it too hard. UNLESS. seb have you read the bakeneko ryoukan hanakotei au. the mitsukou spirited away au. detective himeru.................. 2wink hanako and tsukasa.......... i think in this case. both could be very interesting to be "secretly a human". also torikasa are the arranged political marriage of course because im me. tempted as well to say that tmhj are the "childhood friends planning to propose who accidentally dropped and lost the ring" because it's silly. i also want to say wataru inn owner and eichi rich guy who accidentally wandered in as a kid and has been trying to meet wataru again ever since because it is. a Vibe. no idea who i want to spirit away mitsukou-fashion because they all sound like good choices but yea open to suggestions

[so-what-eichi]

new obbligato thoughts dropped but i don’t feel like compiling them here

just know that the mv and all those jokes dropped right after i realized that kaname might end up hating beemeru for doing his bestie dirty

[tatsumi-harem-chronicles]

[1]ok sorry in my mind rn is a nonidol au :bonk:

[anon1]so what happens to aira what does he like

he can be the one (1) little guy aspiring to be an idol i allow him to be

[1]This actually on my mind constantly :subaruagree: Mostly bc I like dreaming of how directionless and lost some of them are 🤤

[anon1]nonidol au wtf would eichi and aira do [2]subaru still has a dad

[2]:o and this means kaname still has a mom, and a home, and can invite Beemeru to said home

Kanata still sitting in the cult cus without idols he has no reason to leave:

[3]Trade offer: You get - a happy kaname with a loving family consisting of his mother and beemeru I get - disillusioned bitter aira who could never achieve his dream and was so wandered around for a long time hallow and feelingless until he met alkaloid (whatever they are) and delving all his passion and energy into what they do instead (also IN MY MIND JUST NOW aukaloid paint studio they painters who own their own studio trying to get it on the map. Tatsumi paints symbolic shit, hiiro works in abstract-impressionest portraits and scenery, mayoi's paintings swing between cute animals +moments and dark masses of foreboding color that instill heavy motions of unease, and aira usually paints large sceneries with maybe some small people hidden within the masses of the space all exuding feelings of nostalgia/ longing) and I also get bitter ceo eichi cause why not :eichicrime:

i dont like you /joke

Paint studiokaloid on the mind now 😔will not leave [3]typical aira headcannon says he finds out aabt the wonderful world of idols around mid-school era, so that we can have that wonderful "life was empty and meaninglesss b4 idols" :arashilove: but for this au imma say he finds out abt it when hes in elementary shcool, a baby, one could say. so he goes in bright eyed and happy bc while he hasn't expierenced true sadness yet he has seen what real joy feels like and is gung-ho about channeling it himelf! :airalove: and even tho all the auditions and talent compitions his mom is enrolling him in always end in failure, he can't give up! a true idol is never lets anything get them down! but then he works too hard and gets a fever, a very serious one too. but. the boy won't. he doesn't know how to stop. and he sings and practices his way through the sickness, lost in a haze of work get better gotta improve gotta make it gotta win and. he tears his vocal chords. violently by the time the doctors get to him its already too late, he can barely speak anymore. the only things able to escape his mouth being pained noises. "with physical therapy, we can get him back to the point of being able to say a few words at a time" *but when can i sing? * "i'm sorry kid, you cant. not anymore." and thus, his dreams are crushed. so n e ways aft that he spends his entire school career soundless. fluttering into the background like a leaf falls to the ground. letting time pass by as he grows without feeling anything, learning to keep a notebook on him at all times, because it was safest to assume the person in front of him wouldnt be able to sign back (or maybe they just didn't want to talk to him at all?) 1/3

ok what the fuck /NM BDJDBF JUST . WOW IN A /POS WAY !!!

his family is relatively well off, so he decides to take a gap year between highschool and college, moving out into an apartment of his own *to be a bit more independent, to figure out what i want to do * he says, but really, its to escape from reality a little bit longer. one day, he finds someone hopelessly lost at the train station. the red haired boy's eyes glazed over in confusion, head tilting side to side like a puppy. he helps the boy to his location, frustrated about the fact he needs to explain seemingly everything about city life to the bumbkin. when they get to the doors of a small building, front full of windows revealing the mess of moving boxes and tarps inside, the boy invites him in. "maybe you can join us! your handwriting is really nice! we need help writing letters and making fancy cards!" the boy offers. aira huffs, wondering what kind of stupid offer was that? but he follows him in anyways, nothing better to do it was the best decision he'd ever made. 2/3 aira joins as the group's penman bc he was enraptured by the paintings he saw (namely, one of hiiro's portraits my mother, he said, a wistful smile ghosting his lips. his red hair seeming dull in comparision to the burning bonfire of explosive paint in front of him, the canvas eclipsing his form multiple times over. looming over them like a giant, although one full of friendliness and warmth.) but eventually starts learning how to paint out of intrest (he takes tips from everyone really but his main teacher is mamayoi, which can be seen as they use some of the same color pallets and techniques/motifs :mayoishy: ) aira doesn't speak often, but when he does everyone listens this makes a very cute moment where kohiiai are on a date or almost-date and something happens that upsets aira but kohaku&hiiro stand up for their lil love bug and while aira does end up pulling them away from starting a fight he can't help the warm butterflies fluttering across his cheeks. in the end, he drags them onto a bench. sitting them down although never letting go of their sleeves. "ᵗʰᵃⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ…" he murmurs, a sound so quiet it would have been missed by anyone other than his two hyper-sensative boys. hiiro perks up, loudly declaring that it's alright and that he would do anything for him! kohaku is more subdued, but equally as happy. a proud smile gracing his lips and… are those a hint of tears forming in his eyes? n e ways the first time aira tells them he loves them no one survives the Emotional Damage and kohiiai fluff 💯 they can be cuties the end :arashilove: :kohakupout: :hiiroconfusion: :airalove: /3

when everything else tries to brutally murder your soul, you can count on kohiiai to be wholesome as fuck 😌

until pensive TWISTS kohiiai in a way that HURTS ME

even when the kohiiai murders your soul in the end at least the way there was wholesome as fuck <-speaking in shoujo rei timeline :subaruagree:

the wholesome happy romance of kohiiai is the only thing i refuse to taint ever [4]they can all suffer individually but when they together they be loved

i acutally rlly like painter studio aukaloid tho :mayoishy: its subsidized by my own feelings towards painting my cannon-typical alkaloid brainrot :tatsumiacceptance: [4]:subaruagree: til death do them part

[5]so when do i get to be let out of the torture chamber :kiibodipshit2:

[5]no </3

HELP MEE

dw u love it here ^^

[mayonakano-archive]

Hii so they actually know each other! They talked before kaname's coma, beemeru was instructing him on the phone with what to do and say to keep being a special student. He was actually there at school when the students beat up kaname and put him in a coma...

OH THEY DO? Good to know!! Thank you for correcting me <3

but god witnessing that must've been hard, given that beemeru was telling him how to keep his status...

[echopaulens]

Unfortunate situations

[mihai-florescu]

Ok so july 7th is kaname's birthday. But what do you think is beemeru's birthday? Specifically, what is his star sign...

[mayoiayasep]

god cant wait for the himeru event where he finally drops the himeru persona

[wataeicentric]

(In reference to your ages post where you speculated beemeru would be between subaru and rinne in age) in my opinion it doesnt make sense for beemeru to be younger than rinne when he ran away as a kid after his mom's death, and he didnt know his dad had another child. It's physically impossible for a ~3 year old to run away. My guess is he's in his mid 20s maybe, putting him as the oldest.

You're right... I haven't actually read obbligato myself yet, despite having the knowledge of like the majority of the plot, so thank you for this information. I was trying to say in the post how Beemeru could also be older than Rinne, but it was 1am and I couldn't think of an intelligent and coherent way to word it. I will edit the post now

[non-fantasy]

There’s a Christian guy in enstars though Tatsumi I’m sure you’ve heard of him he drives like a maniac and has a fucked up past and himeru hates him because of the thing with his brother who’s identity he stole (Beemeru stole his brothers identity not tatsumi tatsumi doesnt know anything of it or at least he doesn‘t question anything) and he shares a room with the Rock’n’Roll guy and he’s in the tea club too

i only know tatsumi as the guy @asbestieos simps for and also every word like this confuses me why are there more merus
