JIMIN MENTION. Riverdale characters as BTS members

unfortunately i did workshop this with the army gc and i think i have a proposal. it doesn't totally work because of gender dynamics and the way the universes of corporate-competitive art performance and riverdale aren't really quite aligned, but i think i got somewhere.

RIVERDALE MAINS AS BTS MEMBERS:

jughead = rm / kim namjoon. iconoclast. the lyricist-narrator of the whole deal. the link to the big corporate-bureaucratic metaplot in the sky. a typewriter kind of guy. there are so so so many of him and sometimes they interact. queerbait-complicit and yet sidestepping it.

reggie = jin / kim seokjin. the negotiator. the big-city boyfriend from the hallmark movie. the nation's son-in-law but DID flirt with your grandmother and your dad at the function. fed that mean old man from his bare hand. schemes and scams, less opportunistically than as a vocational calling. second place to karl marx and knows it.

betty = suga / min yoongi. she's resisting her idol image with her gratuitously-edgy secondary persona but she's still your poor little meow meow, your baby. she's alert! she's fractured! her amygdala is working sooo hard. her shadow grows and grows and she's avoiding it she's looking at it she's avoiding it she's looking. don't say tangerine.

veronica = j-hope / jung hoseok. idk it's about perfectionism. it's about how CRYING 👏 DOES 👏 NOT 👏 FIT 👏 WITH 👏 HER 👏 LIFE'S 👏 VIBE. it's about lean-in girlbossism. it's about success not creating psychological safety (but she wants more anyway bc what else is she here to do). she's nice but she's ruthless but she loves you!! and on several tragic levels iykyk: she da bus driver all of a sudden.

kevin = jimin. compulsive joiner. compulsive people-pleaser. compulsive flirt. compulsive. mapplethorpe fanboy. gender outlaw. a smoke-show, now. most likely to charm a late night talk show host. queerbaiter of the cruising-coded-crowd-scene variety. most likely to put it all on the line for a little cabaret ♥

cheryl = v / kim taehyung. questionable art appreciator. questionable painter. questionable self portrait accumulator. high-aesthetic curator of Scenes and Situations. president of gay fanservice (self-appointed). glamorous alien OR reclusive little freak. if the high-aesthetic, melodramatic-literary closet case lament fits.

archie = jungkook. golden boy all-rounder. beefcake-on-display. designated himbo. Wants To Help. will NOT contribute to a conversation so don't even try. gives kind of a sincere wounded baby animal quality at times. queerbait via lore-relevant chime card sponcon (this isn't jarchie but it does make you ask yourself "is charlie puth sort of jugheadcore, if jughead sucked (derogatory) instead of sucking (complimentary)?")

Yogurt boy because of the invisible string lyric and then he just became yogurt boy cause well there was nothing else going on

I actually used to follow a blog who PRE breakup in early 2023 had said wow he hasn’t booked a role in a year, what does he do like is he auditioning or what and someone was like, he’s just doing his side hustle which is working at that yogurt shop and it was like 5 people but it stuck with me and that’s all I think when someone refers to him as yb even though it’s 100% born out of invisible string and some people making jokes about Taylor comparing her sitting in a park writing songs probably on break from a studio session and he’s at a yogurt shop selling yogurt as a teen meanwhile she’s a country superstar in the making and I guess they felt she was trying to force a string 😭

I'm absolutely rolling at "what does he do" dhjfjgkshkg that aspect of this is extremely funny

[simplydnp]

Between dnp who is the lazy gay and who is the activity gay?

great question anon. i will second this post from @yonpote in that dan would love to do nothing but doesnt do anything half-way so if they're doing it they're doing it and phil would have eyes bigger than his stomach and would want to quit partway through

however i think they flip-flop too, because dan absolutely wants the Perfect Pictures and phil would be like can we sleep

and maybe i'm projecting but both of them seem to enjoy maximizing a holiday so i guarantee they do what i call 'theme park hard' wherein if they're going then it is rope drop to fireworks, always going to a ride or waiting in line for one, do as many rides as possible, what do you mean you have to pee no you don't. but they'd absolutely complain about it the whole time and after but feel very accomplished.

South Park AU

Hello, hello, I'm back again with a bit more infodumping. I'm honestly struggling with the proper name of this AU but let's get to that later! If you're here from the one half rambling post, well, you're in luck because I explain things better here so!

The idea is loosely inspired by TFBW but it's more of its own thing since I never got into the major AU's when I was into the series a while back. Now, as mentioned before - the idea itself is a bit more darker and angsty though here's how everything went down!

The kids are now older, and will be in high school for most of the AU, but the whole thing is... when they were about to enter their freshman year, a strange cosmic event hit South Park and well, it caused unexpected changes. As a bit of additional background, I always imagined the former elementary students were pretty much just roleplaying when they adopted their superhero personas which meant no real powers (except for Mysterion-); that is until something strikes the town and all of a sudden, they have powers beyond their imagination.

Reassuming their old identities, South Park is thrown into chaos and of course, not everyone knows the others are; none of them are truly open to harming each other, let alone kill. Not even Cartman, but of course, word travels outside of the town and things get a little... complicated.

I'm going to purposely leave that vague for now, but let's get to the fun bits... which means read below for more juicy tidbits!

How the Teams Formed

Everything is technically owed to Mysterion. He had donned the costume one night and well, his fame skyrocketed after he singlehandedly dealt with a gang attempting to cause trouble. Mysterion had never been one to work alone, though of course, this ultimately changed... and he founded the first team of superheroes. They have each other's backs for the most part, but due to Mysterion's sheer stubbornness, sometimes he handled crime on his own.

His actions went noticed by other former members of the original teams, and it led to smaller teams forming; on occasion, the teams found themselves capable of working together, but as one would expect - sometimes they bickered and made working together on missions a whole lot harder.

In a way, Mysterion was the reason they took on the role again but controlling their powers wasn't as easy as it seemed...

Names & Powers

Since South Park is South Park, I took it upon myself to alter things around with some of the names, and even when it came to powers so, I decided why not share my current thoughts and ideas. These aren't complete though! They will be updated eventually, I promise but that will likely be with a different post.

I'm going to start from Cartman because why not-

Raccoon Man: Instead of answering to his original name, Cartman- that is to say, a very normal vigilante now goes by Raccoon Man. His powers consist of enhanced sight (more so at night), claws (which I'll explain later!), as well as others. I know this has been done before, but I can see him being a literal raccoon hybrid. He has an excellent sense of hearing, and can fight in hand-to-hand combat, more specifically with punches.

Static Point: The former "Toolshed", now known as Static Point. Despite his original abilities, Static Point's powers manifested as control over lightning and having the ability to manipulate any tool. His design is still being developed, though I can imagine he has some form of gauntlets which allow him to charge the lightning a lot better. Yes I know the lightning comes from "Wonder Tweek" but shhh.

The Harpy: Better known as "Harpy" (and the former "Human Kite"), the Harpy's a member of Mysterion's team - much like Static Point - though his abilities a little more... different. As a result of the accident, Harpy became a mutant/hybrid of sorts; he has wings and a tail, resembling a sort of harpy-esque figure. There's a comic on TikTok which I love, but there's going to be differences from that. I think Harpy would have talons and he needs tufted ears or something. Because yes

Mysterion: Saving the best for last because yes. Mysterion's powers are rooted in two different things: for one thing, he has the ability to control shadows (something akin to Nico from Percy Jackson but a bit different-), and of course, his immortality. He does have other abilities, but they're more mundane (hand-to-hand combat, parkour)

The other characters are still being developed and since this is an AU, and the circumstances are a bit different, well, I'm trying to decide quite a bit! I'm going to make a separate post for the Mystechaos idea, so stay tuned for that!

Lowkey down for roleplaying either of them so please, if you're interested, shoot me a message! I want to develop them and it can be a lot of fun to do it via roleplay - I main Kenny!

[tarnishedxknight]

{out of dalmasca} Okay, I thought I was going to be able to get on here so much earlier, and that just didn't happen. I am... a hot mess. Without the hotness. XD Tomorrow, though... I have a wee bit of work to do, maybe like an hour's worth, and then I think I'll be free all day/night. So I anticipate having a lot of time to write. Rather than stay up now and try to force things out while I'm already getting sleepy, I'm going to head to bed early so that I have a decent brain to write with tomorrow. =)

[basu-shokikita]

It might have been reposted here already, but I wanted to upload my Cartman crossdressing compilation.

Always loved how easily he would slip into feminine clothes and everyone just sort of went along with it. Say what you will about this guy, but when he commits to the bit, he means it

[channelworldbluez]

Okay Disney Adults can be cringe yes and Disney corporation bad yes but if someone told me “Hey wanna go to Disney World my treat!” You bet your ass my goofy ass gonna have on the Disney drip and the Mickey Mouse ears hat on excited as a mf.

Emerald Trio Week: Day 3 - Peace

Spoilers: None specifically

Set: A vague AU universe based on the original pilot episode for the show and beta concepts. Some characters didn’t exist in the beta concepts, that’s all I’ll say.

Warnings: This is the most angsty oneshot so far… One character is trapped, Belos (the emperor here) is a bad uncle, and there are mentions Huntlow (Paulina/William in this universe). I’m not sure what else to tag without spoiling anything.

Note: Again, thanks to @loosescrewslefty for the prompts… and for some helpful info on the Owl House beta concepts on a preview post I made for this fic.

Description: The Boiling Isles are at peace… and so is Paulina, but she can’t helping feeling like something is missing.

The Boiling Isles were at peace… and so was Paulina.

Finally, she had reached a point where she felt safe and happy and capable in her abilities. This was who she was meant to be.

Gone was the meek girl with the broken wand and the misbehaving plants. She’d come a long way since she first met Luz at the academy!

Luz was the instigator of it all— the change in Paulina, absolving Eda the Owl Lady, and saving the Boiling Isles for good. Thanks to Luz, they were able to overthrow the emperor… and cast a spell so that no one would remember his name, his rules or the identities of his most loyal followers.

Paulina couldn’t think of worst fate; not only death, but being forgotten in death.

If Paulina had perished in the final battle, her family would have been overcome with grief… Although, as much as Paulina hated to imagine her loved ones suffering, wouldn’t it be better for them to remember her?

Erasing the pain would mean erasing the love they had shared…

Out of sight and out of mind—

But Paulina was being hypothetical!

Her family and friends had survived along with her. The future looked big and bright for all of them!

With his uncle’s defeat, Sir William would accept the throne when he came of age. Would William miss his uncle…?

The emperor had kept William trapped in an enchanted sleep for aeons. Consequently, William hadn’t witnessed the oppressive system and the tyrannical control his uncle had brought to the Boiling Isles.

It was only after Luz roused William— with a slap to the face and some enlightening discussions— that William realised how terrible his uncle truly was.

William had vowed to never be anything like his uncle when he took the throne.

During the after-battle party, Luz had teasingly asked if William intended to share the throne with someone special.

William had gone as red as a poppy and avoided Paulina’s gaze for the rest of the evening.

Although she… liked William, Paulina couldn’t imagine herself being queen or empress(?) of the Boiling Isles.

That would be a lot of responsibility— and all the power could go to Paulina’s head!

Amity had assured Paulina that she didn’t need to worry. It would still be a few years until William’s coronation, anyway.

For now, they could all just enjoy this period of peace, rebuilding the Boiling Isles together…

It wasn’t perfect, but then— was anything?

That night after the party, Paulina returned home (which was, thankfully, still standing!) with her parents and settled into bed.

She tossed and turned for hours, but sleep eluded her. There was a little voice inside her head she just couldn’t ignore.

Her dads had taught her a trick for times like this— a trick Paulina had passed on to Amity— but right now, no matter how much she calmed her breathing, it wasn’t working.

Maybe it was because Paulina wasn’t panicking? She didn’t feel compelled to run and hide.

The voice wasn’t screaming; it was more like a mutter. A tiny doubt nibbling at her mind…

Sighing, Paulina sat up in bed. Why did she feel like she’d forgotten something? Something important…

(Not the emperor’s name! This must have been something she actually cared about…)

She used to feel like this everyday at the academy, fearing she had misplaced her wand, her cauldron, her homework…

An unshakable feeling that she had made a mistake and she was going to be mocked or punished for it.

Now, it was probably just lingering doubts,   ingrained in her.

Paulina shook her head, trying to dispel these insecure thoughts.

She picked up her glasses from the bedside table, put them on, and glanced around her dark room, wondering what could possibly be missing…

Her gaze passed the mirror— but then, something caught her eye. A glimmer of movement.

Paulina gasped. What was that?

Paulina froze, but then she frowned. She had helped defeat the emperor— surely she could handle an intruder in her mirror!

She pushed her bed covers aside, grabbed her wand from under her pillow, and crept towards the mirror.

Murmuring a light spell, she pointed her wand at the glass.

Paulina’s own reflection (hesitant but determined) stared back at her.

“Is someone there?” Paulina asked firmly. She spoke loudly enough that she might wake her parents, and they could come to investigate…

No one answered… but then, Paulina caught sight of the figure within the glass.

Peering closer, Paulina realised it was a boy. Her eyes widened.

He had his back to her and he looked very small— not just from Paulina’s perspective— but she could discern he had dark brown hair and he was wearing red.

“H-hello?” Paulina exclaimed. The boy stiffened. He could hear her!

“Who are you? What are you… doing in my mirror?”

Paulina swore she heard a whimper. The boy dropped to the floor of… the mirror-world(?) and drew his knees up to his chest.

Lowering her wand slightly, Paulina placed her free hand against the glass. “It’s okay … I’m not— madthat you’re in there! I’m just confused… Are you trapped…?”

Paulina had heard rumours about the mirror world; of people’s reflections springing to life to take their place, like a doppelgänger. Luz had apparently experienced this and she’d lived to tell the tale!

But this boy hadn’t disguised himself as Paulina’s reflection. It was like he wanted to hide. He won’t even look at her!

“Can you at least tell me your name?” she tried to coax him. “I’m Paulina—“ She stopped when the boy shook his head.

“Maybe I can free you?” Paulina suggested. She lifted the tip of her wand to glass again. She uttered a few spells.

The mirror didn’t seem to be affected, but the boy was.

“Don’t!” he cried, whipping around to face her. He had dark blue eyes. He looked young— younger than Paulina…

(Why did he seem so familiar?)

Paulina gasped, “I’m trying to help you!”

“Well, stop trying!” The boy stumbled to his feet. “You’re going to— mess everything up…!”

“I’m sorry!” Paulina frowned. “I… I might not be able to free you on my own, but my friends could—“

“No— you can’t tell them! They can’t see me! You weren’t even meant to see me…” He waved his finger in the air— in a circle— but nothing happened. The boy groaned with frustration.

“Why can I see you?” Paulina wondered. For the third time, she asked, “Who are you?”

The boy sighed. He stepped a little closer to her— to the surface of the mirror.

“I’m…” He bit his lip. (Shoot — it had sounded like he was about to reveal his name!) “I’m not going to hurt you— or haunt you!” he stammered, instead.

Paulina snorted. “So, you’re not a ghost?”

“N-no…” The boy cracked a smile.

“Are you a witch, then?” Paulina hummed.

His smile faded. Paulina deduced that he either was a witch, he wanted to be one, or he had been trapped by a witch.

“Did someone trap you in the mirror?” Paulina tapped the glass with her wand. (Maybe this was the emperor’s doing…?)

She must have touched a nerve or crossed a line, because the boy took a step back. “I know that you want to help me,” he sighed, “and you… care…”

Should she care? Paulina didn’t know anything about this boy…

He might not be a boy at all, but a monster attempting to deceive her!

It could be one last ditch-effort from the emperor; he could be trying to trick Paulina to get to Luz or William…

Why, then, hadn’t the boy leapt out of the mirror to attack Paulina yet? He’d had plenty of chances while Paulina was trying to sleep…

Why was he so determined to get away from her?

“But you can’t,” the boy continued. He crossed his arms, hugging himself. “I put myself in here, and I… I’m never getting out. If I do… the Demon Realm will implode— or something…”

“What?” Paulina breathed. Her heart felt like it was about to implode in her chest.

“It’s better this way,” the boy bit out, lie he was struggling to convince himself as well as her. “This is the best possible outcome.”

“Outcome…?”

It wasn’t an outcome Paulina liked; how could she happily go about her life, knowing a poor, miserable child was imprisoned for eternity in her mirror?

“Bye,” the boy whispered. He turned away from her and began to retreat.

“Wait…!” Paulina protested. She knocked her fists against the glass, wishing she could reach in and pull him out…

His voice was getting fainter. “Thank you f-for looking out for me. I won’t bother you again…”

“Come back here!” Paulina yelled, her face pressed against the glass now. She watched as the boy became smaller and smaller in her view. “I will find a way to save you…!”

Once more, the boy halted. His shoulders shook. He released a choked sob. “ Please, Will—“

“Please, what?” Paulina gasped. For a second, she felt like the whole world had been flipped upside down.

He took several deep breaths. Was he—? Paulina blinked when she realised he was counting on his fingers against his leg.

When he had composed himself, the boy started again. “Please, will you just let me go—?”

“No.” She pounded on the glass. “Not until you tell me who you are and how you know that— that breathing trick!”

“Goodbye.” He kept walking and didn’t look back.

“Wait!” Paulina punched the glass again.

He knew her, and she knew him, but she had forgotten how…

Think! Think! Think!

She raised her wand again— firing off every spell she knew.

Maybe the boy had been affected by the same magic that erased the emperor’s name— but he was just a child! How could a child have been in league with the emperor, unless he’d been manipulated, like William?

He was no more guilty than William had been!

It wasn’t fair. The boy didn’t deserve this! He was… He was her…

By the time Paulina noticed the dent she had made, it was too late. The cracks spread along the glass like cobwebs… until the mirror shattered.

The boy was gone.

In the morning, Paulina’s parents found her slumped against the ruined mirror. She had spent hours— in vain— trying to repair the shards of glass.

When she tearfully tried to explain what had happened, her dads assumed she’d had a nightmare, induced by the trauma she had suffered.

Thankfully, Paulina’s friends believed her when she told them.

Luz said she’d caught a glimpse of somebody watching her through the window of the Owl House. When Eda went outside to check for her, no one had been there.

William swore he had seen a pair of sad blue eyes in the reflection of his sword.

When Amity was using a crystal ball in the library, she’d been startled by the sound of a child crying.

It wasn’t just Paulina’s imagination; they had all seen him. He was real, but none of them knew who he was.

So, Paulina and her friends had a new mission:

The four of them would find a way to release the boy and maybe then, they would remember.

Paulina wouldn’t rest until they did… until the boy was standing right beside her in their world.

He might resent Paulina for disrespecting his wishes… or he might decide to be her friend.

And if the Demon Realm did implode, as he had feared…?

Then they would face it together.
