This is it, this is the vibe. Yes, the hero is Kim.

KimChay: under the mask

I didn't see this coming, but, uh... here we are.

---

In this au, Kim and Chay do not meet during the canonical timeline. The Kittisawats still move into the compound, though, and Porsche's photokinetic powers activate/turn Korn to dust during the first Nampheung reveal.

With Kinn's funding/support Porsche starts taking down large swathes of the criminal underworld. He becomes an established Bangkok superhero, known for his charm: The Phoenix.

---

Kim is a wide-eyed, soft-smiling pop idol by day... and a superpowered vigilante by night.

After his Father's ruthless experimentation activated a dormant gene in Kim's DNA - and therefore his latent psionic powers (telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and teleportation) - he's been donning a special suit built for him by Arm & Co. in secret to help take down Korn's empire. Kinn wants to legitimize the businesses and secure them a real place in the word and Kim wants to help.

So he helps whenever he can by aiding The Phoenix in the guise of his own alter ego, Masked Shadow (he let Khun make it up, okay? it's his own fault for wearing an all-black ensemble and full facial covering).

---

Chay, still smarting after everyone he loves made enormous and life-changing decisions on his behalf (without once consulting him), decides to take a walk on the wild side.

Shortly after Phoenix and Shadow have cleaned up the neighborhood, they find themselves directly targeted by a new face on the scene. A young, brash, dangerous villain who dresses in bright colors and goes by the nickname 'Songbird'.

His fights with Phoenix are brief and tumultuous, ending with bruises for both parties, but something about his energy with Shadow is different. Like he wants to be caught in some moments and can't live without catching Kim the next.

And Kim has been caught. Several times. He (absolutely, definitely has not) been flustered by the tall, somewhat familiar villain tilting his chin up with one finger and calling him 'naughty' for ruining a well-laid plan.

Okay maybe he gets caught on purpose sometimes.

But he needs to find out who exactly is under that mask. Definitely for justice and no other reasons at all.

AN: hi guys!!! please let me know what u think in the comments i would really really appreciate it! leave as many requests as you would like!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You weren’t exactly sure when Park Sunghoon became your biggest problem, but here you were, once again, staring him down in the middle of the city, exasperated beyond belief. The night air was crisp, the moon hanging overhead, casting silver light across the rooftop where you stood. It would’ve been almost picturesque—if not for the dork in the villain cape standing in front of you.

“You’re late,” he huffed, crossing his arms over his chest, his cape fluttering slightly in the breeze. “I had this whole villain monologue prepared, but now I’m just standing here like an idiot.”

You pinched the bridge of your nose. “Sunghoon, do you ever stop talking?”

“No. And as your sworn enemy, you should appreciate my dedication.”

You had long since stopped taking him seriously. Not because he wasn’t capable of mass destruction—no, the problem was that he was way too awkward to be genuinely evil. Like last week, when he tried to steal a hotdog cart as a distraction but ended up tripping over a ketchup bottle and getting mustard all over himself. Or the time he tried to hijack a news broadcast, only to accidentally press the weather channel button instead.

And yet, despite all his antics, Sunghoon still insisted he was your archnemesis. It was kind of… cute.

“I assume you’re here to fight,” you sighed, stretching your arms as you got into a battle stance. “Let’s get this over with.”

Sunghoon’s expression flickered for a moment—was that hesitation? He shifted on his feet, scratching the back of his neck. “Yeah. Fight. That’s what we’re doing.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Unless you have something else planned?”

“No,” he blurted out way too fast. Then he coughed, trying to look serious again. “I mean—yes. I have the perfect plan.” He lifted his hand dramatically, but nothing happened.

A long silence stretched between you. Sunghoon lowered his arm slightly, glancing at you. “Uh. I forgot what it was.”

You groaned. “Oh my god.”

“Wait, wait, I have a backup plan!” He rummaged through his pockets before pulling out a small remote. “Now behold, HERO!” He pressed the button, and suddenly—a metal cage clunked down from above, trapping you inside.

You blinked. “What the hell?”

“Jokes on you! I stole your dog! Now I have the upper hand, HERO!” Sunghoon cackled, arms crossed triumphantly.

Except. One tiny issue.

“I don’t… have a dog.”

Sunghoon’s face froze. “Wait. Then whose dog did I steal?”

A distant barking sound echoed from the side of the rooftop, followed by the furious stomping of an angry old lady.

“THAT’S MY DOG, YOU IDIOT!” she screeched, waving a cane in the air.

Sunghoon turned just in time to see the old woman whack him over the head. “oh shit.” He yelped, immediately bolting away as she chased him down the stairs. You stood there, watching the scene unfold, trapped in the ridiculous cage, contemplating your life choices.

After chasing Sunghoon down, knocking him out, and handing him over to the authorities (who, at this point, were getting tired of his antics), you sat beside his holding cell, sipping your drink.

Sunghoon, now sitting on the bench inside his cell, stared at the ceiling, pouting.

“This is so embarrassing,” he muttered. “I am a disgrace to villains everywhere.”

You leaned back against the wall, shooting him a lazy smile. “At least you’re entertaining.”

He exhaled, rubbing his hands over his face before finally looking at you. “You know… this whole villain thing?” He gestured vaguely at his surroundings. “It kinda started as a joke.”

You tilted your head. “What do you mean?”

Sunghoon let out a dry laugh. “Back in college, you just… became a hero. It wasn’t even some big, dramatic thing. You helped someone, people started calling you one, and suddenly it stuck. It was effortless for you.” He hesitated. “And I… I wanted to get your attention.”

Your breath caught slightly. “Wait, so you—?”

“I thought if I became a hero too, we could fight together,” he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “Maybe you’d finally notice me. But I guess I botched it, because people didn’t call me a hero. They called me a villain. And instead of correcting them, I just… rolled with it. It was kind of… fun?”

Your heart twisted. “So this whole time—”

“Yeah.” He chuckled, shaking his head. “Not exactly how I pictured my life going, but hey, at least I get to annoy you for a living.”

Despite yourself, you laughed. A real, genuine laugh. Sunghoon’s eyes flickered with something unreadable before he grinned, his usual smugness returning. “See? I can still make you smile, even from jail.”

You sighed, shaking your head as you stood up. “Well… you’ve definitely got my attention now.”

Sunghoon blinked, then smirked. “Oh? So you admit it? You can’t resist me?”

You leaned down slightly, close enough that he sucked in a sharp breath. “I think you just like being chased by me.”

Sunghoon’s grin stretched wider as he leaned back against the wall, looking far too smug for someone in a holding cell. "Ohhh, you want me so bad. Just admit it, Y/N."

You rolled your eyes, but the warmth creeping up your neck betrayed you. Maybe you did. Just a little.

Definitely not a new concept but I propose: Sciles dressing up as Captain America and Winter Soldier for Halloween.

also, a more casual option:

[sorry-not-feeling-it-right-now]

It interests me how Smitten calls Cold “villain” due to his numbness

Let me explain

In media, it’s often that the heroes of the story would win with the power of love and friendship, while the villains are often defeated due to their numbness and apparent unfeeling-ness. And generally, people associate passion and love as a good thing, while being numb and apathetic is often seen as a trait that’s unfavourable. And hence, according to media, heroes are those who wears their heart on their sleeves, while villains are numb and are distant.

Smitten and Cold embodies Love and Apathy in their traits, and yet they also break that notion that love is the ultimate good thing and apathy a bad thing

Love can heal, but it can also hurt those around you and yourself if you let it blind and control you

Apathy can lead to distancing you from forming a connection with other people, but it could serve as some sort of comfort and a safety blanket, a numbness for the horrors beyond to keep you sane for a bit longer

Side note, I’ve noticed that routes with Smitten in it often leads to the Princesses hitting certain fantasy/romance troupes, like with Damsel—>Damsel in Distress, HEA—>well, a happily ever after in fairytales, Thorn—>classic love story of a betrayal blossoming into love and passion, basically enemies to lovers slow burn etc etc.

(Actually I’m pretty sure each of the Voices have their own themes that connects them to the Princesses, like how Cold is associated with death and ghosts and Skeptic is usually associated with thriller and or detective noir tropes(Paranoid living his life as a horror movie oh no))

Apparently @fallen-knight tagged me for a Last Line challenge and then provided a handful of paragraphs. The last thing I was writing was the second chapter of a Life Series SMP double AU fic (AU of an AU). And I'd just started a section. So here you are:

Even at night, the city lights shone brightly. Enough that the three immortals surveying it from above didn't bother with their own lights.

"And they're mad!" Poultry Man chuckled. "Rushing around like they have somewhere to be."

Alright, let's tag some folks. How about...

@somer-writes @linderosse @hotcheetohatredwastaken

[that-sweet-jester]

busted

I am here to post you yet another segment of my superhero au >:DDD

And also to recommend some fic I've been reading as of lately:

A Hero Scorned (is a hero lost) by Lotsalizards

Sometimes you should've just stayed home by Nissified

TommyInnit's Infamous Taxi Service by Roohoo

All on Ao3 and all worth the read <3333

Also why didn't I draw Wilbur's costume with a jabot, that's like the most theather kid drama liking hamilton stan thing he could wear.

[journey-to-the-attic]

[watcheraurora]

Action climax, action climax, action climax!!!

Hi! Enjoy!

🌌 A Villain's Promise to a Hero ⚠

more of the AU >_< (actual pages of the story aren't done yet, just art of it)

this is a test on me figuring out how to format my comics on a different art program from ibis, i had fun :>

[evanoshiix]

It feels so good to be the villain.

[seriouslycalamitous]

For no particular reason, if the parkour civilization characters were in a superpowered au, what would their aliases be?

Hypothetically, of course, if I were to be back on my bullshit (ie turning everything I love into a superhero/villain au) what would people's powers be?

Listen, I love canon-compliant as much as the next guy. All I'm saying -- this fandom needs more alternate universe stuff. It's hard because most of the beauty is in the world, but surely it's possible to some degree, right?

Come come, imagine with me:

Evbo standing atop a roof, a glittering cityscape below him. It's beautiful, a world all his own, and one he must fight to maintain from day to day. His power of jump-boost is unmatched by any other figure, allowing him to effortlessly navigate the city skyline without breaking a sweat. The people call him Champion.

Alongside fellow heroes, such as an old mentor figure, and a hero draped in darkness, Evbo must face villains that threaten to topple everything he loves, and aim to chain him permanently to the ground.

As expected, there is an overarching villain, but the second-in-command is a pillar of questionable morals. I am also absolutely not opposed to throwing in a rivals-to-lovers or teammates-to-lovers plot line, all I'm sayin.

IMAGINE THE COSTUMES!!

Evbo with something akin to netherite boots, maybe modified sneakers to help break his fall when he lands his sick parkour jumps. Master Friend (EMF) with gold-plated armor covering his shadowy-figure. Seawatt with a veil over his face to hide his identity - just barely see-through enough for onlookers to tell he's got some dramatic makeup going on behind there.

If people are interested, I can expand it into a full AU I'm really having fun with this idea :D
