part 3 (FINAL) of highlights from that 32k word doc i wrote when i marathoned gazette songs (2012-2018)

PART 1 | PART 2

once again:

This is a combo of thoughts on music, lyrics and other random things I wrote while listening. Not every song will be featured, sorry.

I sometimes directly quote translations and when I do, I’ll specify whose it was. Here are the masterposts of lyrics by Heresiarchy , Defective Tragedy and Trauma Radio

I will write song titles for which there are warnings in bold and all caps

So this part will be a bit different because mental health and The Band became really prominent themes in their music in a way it wasn’t really before, so rather than simply writing about songs as they come, I do (attempt to) connect some dots between songs and albums

Also this is REALLY LONG (~5k words)

If you read any of these posts, thank you <3

CONTENT WARNINGS: murder (In Blossom), reference to abuse (In Blossom), suicide/suicidal thoughts (Kagefumi, Deux/Blemish), reference to PTSD (Incubus). Overall LOTS of discussions about mental health.

buckle up folks it’s gonna be a long one

So I listened to Division according to the limited edition version where the songs got split into the ‘story-like songs’ and the ‘hype songs’. Just while we’re on that, I like to think that Vein is the story part because these songs (the blood) are meant to go TO our hearts, while Artery, which is the ‘raw emotion’, is the heart doing the talking and supplying the oxygen that will do its thing. LIKE HEADBANGING.

“Ibitsu is not the first song they’ve written about changes in the music industry, but it’s quite different from others like 13Stairs[-]1 and Dim Scene. They were quite angry about the state of things, lamenting it. But here, Ruki is writing his and the band’s place in all of that. It’s like in the other two songs he’s like, “wow look at all this rubble. This sucks.” But in Ibitsu he’s writing about how he’s also in that rubble and thinks about what HE feels about it in relation to himself and the GazettE. And I find that quite interesting. Also hell YES imagery – skies as ideals, the world around them collapsing into ruin, the band as a flower amidst the rubble that can’t reach the sky. It sounds like he’s trying to navigate how he’s supposed to move forward when his ideals and what’s happening in the industry oppose each other quite a lot. He doesn’t reach an answer in this song and ends by asking whether it is actually in ruins or whether he’s just afraid of change, I think.” - interestingly, he uses this same imagery in Kuroku Sunda Sora to Zangai to Katahane to write about anxiety and not feeling good enough.

Quick disclaimer on KAGEFUMI: I do want to say first that I’m talking about this purely as a piece of art. Not as in, like, “this is peak romance”, but just as an artwork I can have Opinions™ about, even if they’re possibly in disagreement with that of the creator. “The shadow tag metaphor for a couple committing double suicide meaning that they’re ‘becoming one’ and being together in death is A Lot. There’s an incredibly strong belief in an afterlife where they can be together makes (what Ruki describes) this stronger bond between them that literally lasts or even transcends the boundaries between life and death, rather than a tragic end (unlike Tokyo Shinjuu). Musically, I love this song and think it’s gorgeous, the way it’s sad yet hopeful. We over here with that bittersweet stuff again but lyrically it’s a WILDLY different route than others before it.”

“Yoin is such a heavy end to disc 1. The ending lines, “The sea of loss / Understanding of helplessness / That day we grieved” about the Tohoku earthquake/tsunami and the nuclear disaster is just so ……. And not only that, but how even though people still struggle to survive, people are moving on like it’s a thing of the past. It’s SO heavy.” (Cr: Defective Tragedy)

“I think [Derangement] is about a massive internal struggle between wanting longing for the past, knowing it won’t come back, but also wanting to destroy the past out of self-hatred. There are aspects of the past, perhaps ambition and drive for example, that are good, but other parts that are not. It’s almost like a continuation of Remember the Urge but like…angrier and with more hatred towards his own past rather than only the longing of it. Which is also really interesting.” – this is definitely one of the themes that comes up A LOT from now, ESPECIALLY in Ninth. We’ll get to that.

“IS KAI GOOD??? That man is NOT human. I swear to god his drums in Required Malfunction are INSANE. ANYWAY, this song is about how people cannot be perfect and we all have flaws, especially in the context of relationships. I like that even though people argue and butt heads sometimes, there’s that Japanese verse where he sings “Let’s send a song without stains / to that innocence without lies / so you can swallow those wounds” and the last lines “Because you are always here, I can advance” to mean like…them being together can ultimately make them better and it can be a good relationship (if they work on it, imo). Also, I love the language he uses here – viruses and malfunctions and inputs – a very non-human way to write about human relationships.” (Cr: Trauma Radio)

(Dripping Insanity) “Solitude drenched in red laughs / in the insanity dripping in silence” is SUCH a good line yes hello I appreciate this. (Cr: Heresiarchy)

“EYYY HAVEN’T HEARD FORBIDDEN BEAVER IN FOREVER. At first I was wondering if this might be judgmental but honestly? I think this is satirical, especially from the line “May the truth you spew on taboos going frantically around / Shred the rhythm of high society”. Like the fact they’re gossiping about a famous woman who has a lot of sex and just TARNISHING her name bc of it, to Ruki, is a load of bullshit. Also, some of the lyrics in the chorus are funny coming from Ruki – “She has a sex addiction / Bang! Bang! / Cute luv machine” – like he does NOT ever write like this and this song is just a huge satirical joke I’m YELLING.” (Cr: Heresiarchy)

“The transition from Malformed Box to Inside Beast >>>>”

“[Inside Beast] is definitely about having a ‘beast’ inside you that’s like all your demons and ugly feelings and to let them all out. He wrote about demons in Derangement, but the way he writes about acceptance is like…empowering and freeing. Not necessarily through words but through the music and just how hard this song slaps.”

“I really love the lyrics of [Until it Burns Out] and its whole thing about valuing the time they have as a band and to be together making music precisely because it’s going to end someday, and it’s going to be their last shot at living their dreams, which is to make music and perform TOGETHER as the GazettE. Like that’s so meaningful, and powerful in the way they just…grab it by the fucking throat. Breaking down the walls that hold them back, TOGETHER, towards the future in which they see their dreams. Like they’re not letting this be the end. They won’t allow it. UGH. UGHHH. The middle eight is so beautiful and I love the lines “The light that colours this irreplaceable scenery / burns the significance of standing here into me / Until the last” like they just love performing SO MUCH UGGGHHH FEELINGS”. (Cr: Trauma Radio)

“[REDO] IS SO GODDAMN SENTIMENTAL I’M IN MY FEELINGSSSSS. Kai being the composer, I can’t help but feel this is him paying homage to jazz, which is the music his mother plays and he loves her so so much. I’m probably reaching but THAT’S JUST HOW I FEEL.”

“EVERBODY SHUT UPPPP IT’S LAST HEAVEN TIMEEEE. It’s so gd gorgeous and sweet. I’M GETTING REALLY EMO WHAT THE FUCKKKK. BRUH. BRUUUUHHH. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL //THROWS. SHUT UPPPP. TOO MANY SKY, STAR AND FOREVER REFERENCES FOR THIS TO BE OKAY BITCH. This is Ruki’s love song to the cosmos, wishing to be eternal like the stars but acknowledging that all he can do is chase it knowing his life will end, BUT THAT THEY DON’T HAVE TO GRIEVE BECAUSE THEY WILL MEET AGAIN IN THE AFTERLIFE BECAUSE IN SOME WAY WE /ARE/ ETERNAL. IT’S LOVING AND INNOCENT AND WISTFUL. This song is the goddess to all the GazettE love songs. THANKS FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK. “The distant sky, this infinite moment / I now wish from the visible stars / in this youthful merry-go-round / that continues to turn endlessly / I want to be eternal like you” – is just…such a beautiful image. “Let’s stay like this, having dreams we cannot reach / Long road which leads to the calm hill / I go, leaving my sadness behind / Good night…my beloved / Last heaven of mine” – it’s yearning but it’s the yearning for LIFE. And to leave behind sadness…Ruki very rarely writes about pain like this. And to call the ‘beloved’ his last heaven, the last thing in his life that’s just THE BEST THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED TO HIM AND THE THING HE WANTS TO BE ETERNAL WITH goodbye………GOODBYE. “Love without shape changing day by day / Close together / we become / one shooting star” – AAAHHH AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. Also, for him to say ‘memento mori’ which means “Remember, you must die” in the middle eight of a song about wanting to be eternal just gives the entire sentiment a new meaning ;-;” (Cr: Trauma Radio)

“There’s a particular sound to Division and Beautiful Deformity (but more in BD). It sounds like rushing water. Loss in particular sounds like this. Like, the sound isn’t just ‘dark’ and ‘heavy’, it moves A LOT and there is sooo much emotionality in the songs on this album. It’s really dynamic.”

“The Stupid Tiny Insect revisits the theme of inner demons. Specifically, in this song it sounds like negative internal self-talk. It’s interesting though, the way that Ruki writes it as an entirely separate being to how he writes inner demons and whatnot in other songs, where it’s either another entity within a person that is part of them OR just…themselves. Here, they are VERY separate, and that probably allows him to feel and express rage instead of helplessness or confusion. I also love the reference to pretending to be okay – “I get high on delusion / And act as if I made them die out / ‘Just like a summer moth to a flame”.” (Cr: Heresiarchy)

“IN BLOSSOM is pretty fucking brilliant lyrically imo. It reminds me a lot of 32 Koukei no Pistol in that a protagonist who was abused/neglected by the parents kills them, and in the latter’s case only, also themselves. Some other differences: In Blossom is WAY angrier (and a lot more loaded) and the protagonist is trying to ‘make their own life’ (even if the way they choose to do that DOESN’T WORK), whereas the narrator in 32 Calibre Pistol was mostly lamenting that they’ve ‘lost their way’ and deep-down were wishing for their family to be happy together. I can’t say WHY that is. But it’s interesting that in In Blossom, the abuse just…DESTROYED their concept of family that they used to believe in entirely, and the fact they cannot separate themselves from their abusers neither by dying nor killing them is A Lot. So, they try to free themselves and ‘get hope’ by killing their abusers as revenge (“Die away, along with these wounds I’d counted”), but it doesn’t bring them happiness or heal them (“Even if I slash so much it’s unparalleled by the wounds I’d counted, it still starts to ache / It doesn’t even fight off the decay, much less heal me”). It’s very much saying that despite pain, revenge is not the answer. I also love the line “They adorn vividly – have blossomed beautifully / The sun that has started to set makes sure of it” to describe the wounds as the narrator kills their abusers and their loss of sanity as they do so.” (Cr: Heresiarchy)

“To Dazzling Darkness is about that moment when a concert is over and the lights start to come on. It’s so gorgeous. This is sort of like, the other side of Until it Burns Out. If UIBO is about the band then TDD is about the fans, and the band’s place in the world. I love the imagery in the first verse – darkness is usually associated with bad things, but here darkness is peace, escapism and unity that are part of the happiness of a concert, while the light symbolises the continuation of life. The scenery here is the same scenery in UIBO, which is the scenery of a concert that this band cherishes. There’s also the acknowledgement that time is fleeting and nothing is forever. Like, this is really the other side of the coin and I love it.”

“Dogma defines their new (2015) sound so well, which is HEAVY AND DIRTY AS FUCK. Like, it is SO conceptual and experimental and the painting is just GORGEOUS. I love the harpsichord in this song – as the predecessor of the piano, it was used in a lot of churches and religious music in the Baroque period (1600-1750ish), so using it here in a song where the band is likened to idols (the religious type) is super cool. And to combine it with these really low and heavy guitars just gives the DARKEST image.

And there’s so much going on in the lyrics – MANY MOTIFS, MANY MEANINGS. They bring back the concept of darkness as a symbol for escape from harsh life and of unity during concerts. As for death, Reita has an iconic quote where he said something along the lines of: “we often say in lives ‘to die’, but what we actually mean is to live. Live and be free”. I see death for GazettE as a kind of transformation – and end, yet also a beginning to become something or someone new.

Ruki hasn’t really mentioned god since Ogre in Dim, in which he basically wrote “idk if God exists but I don’t really care – all I need is me”. But here he likens the band to an idol of worship. We as the fans worship the GazettE, and they are also gods to us, their followers, in the sense that they provide us with life and unity (referred to here as death and darkness, respectively). The GazettE as a band brings darkness and death to the world (with their own meanings, of course).

This is also a song about the band breaking away from current gods and dogmas of the music industry, and from its greed. I also love the line, “The rite I must face is cloaked in darkness and isolation” – this process of their journey to finding their truth is lonely, and no one but them can do it for themselves. To do so also isolates them from everything they once knew. It’s them navigating what is expected of them by the masses and those they work with vs doing what they want without getting shunned for it.” (Cr: Defective Tragedy)

“DAWN IS ABOUT REDISCOVERING THEMSELVES. I love the number of metaphors he brings back in this song – 13 stairs, death, merry-go-rounds and again dogma. Death here is about the transformation of them as a band, which occurs at the top of the 13 stairs to the gallows. And I find that so interesting because he uses the image of gallows (eg: 13 Stairs[-]1 and Forbidden Beaver) as like…an actual Death that means the end of a genre or a person’s reputation, but here it’s a place of transformation. In Last Heaven, the merry-go-round is a symbol of life – it comes back here but this time it’s red instead of blue (youthful) and is paired with the image of a mad banquet with emotions running wild (ie concerts). Basically, this is about the band’s life and, like, their life being about concerts. My favourite part is “Overcoming a period of confusion, I took those stirring emotions / And hung them up high on the 13 stairs” because there’s also the line “I’ve already had a lethal dose of misfortune / The ruined gallows towers above me” -> WE WENT THROUGH SOME SHIT BUT WE FOUND OURSELVES AND SURPRISE BITCH, BET YOU THOUGHT YOU’D SEEN THE LAST OF ME.” (Cr1: Heresiarchy, Cr2: Defective Tragedy)

Not from my notes directly but I feel like the difference between Bizarre to Juuyonsai no Knife (ie the only two songs about Real juvenile criminals) is a REALLY good representation of how Ruki’s lyrics have changed over the years. He went from taking perspectives of people who perpetrators of violence (to write horror stories, imo, but also to generally Explore their minds through art) to making comments about society and how systems affect people in real life. Not to say he doesn’t write about killers anymore or that social commentary is NEW for him, but just…a big change in what’s PROMINENT.

“Interesting that Wasteland is next, which is about Justice on the Internet. I know Ruki has always been really critical of the internet and the kind of social processes that occur online (see: Nakigahara) and here it’s about morality and justice, but more importantly the way it’s about crowd mindsets and CONTROL. And he just summarises it SO WELL in the first verse: “The thousand eyes that can kill even God / Transform into rebels that lust for control / If the time comes when right and wrong disappear / It will all end with a blood-red moon”. There’s also the line “Innocence gives way to sinful judgment” ie the innocent go along with their ways or it’s the innocent (the weak, as he says later) that are scrutinised. And I think about this a lot considering…some other fandoms I’m in >.>” (Cr: Defective Tragedy)

(INCUBUS) “The song is a lot of wondering what they did to deserve their trauma and how they want the dreams/nightmares to go away. I do like that at the end of the song they come to the conclusion that they cannot change what happened and decide “fuck the why”, accepting they didn’t deserve it. Even though the narrator is still stuck in the maze (of trauma), the letting go of asking why it happened is like, a really important step in healing. Because it’s the end of self-blame. So, I hope narrator can heal :( “

(DEUX) “My dumbass never realised this but the music of Deux itself has DUALITY. Metal with solo piano. IT REALLY TOOK ME FIVE YEARS TO REALISE THAT HUH. It’s about two conflicting selves (which to me sound more like intrusive thoughts, considering Blemish’s VERY LOUD “These days I’m better dead”) and the effect that has on like, your emotionality and how it leads to loneliness. His use of nightmares in this song is fascinating – the Japanese word he uses (sakayume) is like…a reverse dream, like if a child has a nightmare you tell them it’s a sakayume so it means what happened in their dream definitely won’t happen AND something good will happen instead. And this is something Ruki prays for.”

(Ominous) “The imagery is really dark in this – “A prayer crushed under wreckage / Reflects in your eyes as you start to fly / I see you in the sky thick with shadows / Spinning around with nightmares” – there’s a desperate attempt to fly and get better and do Well but still they’re surrounded by darkness and nightmares, unable to escape. “Don’t forget that a heart cannot die / Don’t forget that dreams aren’t predictions of the future” –There’s hopefulness in a heart not dying yet a very strong despair when he says dreams don’t predict the future, not even reverse dreams. “It steals away my still-unformed future, and whenever I step forth / I can’t see a thing in that shadowed sky / My screaming can’t save anything / when I’m killing myself with sadness” – oh that hurts, that hurts A LOT. He wants to fly but he can’t. This is just SO MUCH. And they didn’t even have an instrumental outro, IT JUST ENDS WITH ACCEPTANCE OF HOPELESSNESS AND DEPRESSION.” (Cr: Heresiarchy)

“The drums in Goddess uggghhh UGGGHHH. AND THE GUITAR TOOOOOO. Lyrically, this is really a mid-point between depression and healing. It’s A Lot. He writes about his suffering, wanting to make something of his mistakes and his sins and actually WANTING TO LIVE. But it’s so sad that in the end he still feels really helpless – the subtle changes between “I want to become the stars that fill the silence” vs “I can’t become the stars that fill the silence”. But I think that on some level he knows what the next step is. He wishes in the last two lines, “If only I could share my grief that can’t be put to words / If only I could face reality and live accepting my crippling despair”. THAT’S THE FIRST STEP!!!! THAT’S A STEP!!!! TO HEALING!!!! “These bleak thoughts are my sacrifice that will one day begin to thaw into a selfless, smiling heart” – this line is fucking LOADED. Like, he sacrifices his bleak thoughts by expressing them and by making art out of his pain in hopes that he will be able to acknowledge and accept his suffering and his pain as a means to heal, as a way of allowing him to have a selfless and smiling heart. Like, this is SO much of what his art is about and what it has been for SUCH a long time it makes me so emotional that this is what he’s saying about his own lyrics.” I realise too that the goddess is likely the same goddess from Blemish. I’m still unsure what to make of it because Blemish ends in Ruki writing he doesn’t wants to be reborn, and not abandoned. But here he ends with wanting to heal. Wanting to move on and live.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO UNDYING.

“WHEN HE BROUGHT BACK “SLEEP, COUNT ME DOWN AGAIN” >>> God, this song is so powerful. THERE ARE SO MANY CALL-BACKS TO DOGMA. I SHOULD’VE KNOWN THIS BUT STILL. BITCH WHAT THE FUCK. It’s a direct continuation of Ominous (“I won’t arise from this”). I think in this song he’s becoming that figure that is flying in Ominous, and the one that is surrounded by nightmares and shadows – the first verses are about how the future is drenched in misfortune yet we must continue to live (and suffer, but WE CAN AT LEAST BE A BIT HOPEFUL). Ruki says this YET HE IS STILL DREAMING, EVEN AS THE END COMES (“My heart starts to disappear along with the spirit of my words / And though it knew the end was near / It dreamt of things it shouldn’t want / And even now I am still—“). There’s also his mentions of sins again that he continues to drown in :( But overall, this song is really about living despite all the pain, which is really meaningful after Dogma ended on such a note of hopelessness. There’s so much power in this song.” (Cr: Heresiarchy)

“Vacant doesn’t necessarily sound like a romantic relationship breaking down as much as it is about making a mistake and being unable to fix it between you and someone else (or other people), even if Ruki said he wrote it with a band’s image in mind. But the gist is is that there is yet again a struggle within the self (“Self-condemnation distorts the answer / And I lose sight of what I should be / Because of those unconscious actions / I can’t even dream”). The line “In the pain of not being able to tie back the undone thread / The traces left by stopping time keep piling up” really got to me – being stuck in time and constantly wishing for something that was and being hurt by the fact it’s gone is something I personally relate to. But even as the narrator is stuck in time, their grip on the past is loosening – they are forgetting, memories fade, and they lose their strength (“Vacant, you are withering”).” (Cr: Heresiarchy)

(Faling) ““Together, embracing the same pain: it’s only temporary / Don’t forget that this is not the end / So come on, let’s open our eyes and fall / We just believe in ourselves to die / Sometimes it’s okay to be broken” THIS MEANS SO FUCKING MUCH AFTER THE AMOUNT OF TIMES RUKI ENDED DOGMA SONGS WITH HOPELESSNESS AND AT BEST “WE HAVE TO KEEP LIVING AND SUFFERING AND BEING IN PAIN” BUT IN FALLING, PAIN IS TEMPORARY. PAIN IS TEMPORARY. WE WILL HEAL, BITCH. WE WILL GET BETTER, BITCH.” (Cr: Defective Tragedy)

Can’t find my notes bc it’s somewhere else in my Tumblr drafts but basically: I consider Mortal, Utsusemi and Sono Kore wa Moroku like a Depression Trilogy™ in Ninth. Mortal is about depression, loneliness and loss but like, tying it to a singular person or event in which the narrator felt grief. Utsusemi is about loneliness and depression as well, AND RUKI USES THE CICADA SHELL METAPHOR, WHICH IS THE SAME AS CRUCIFY SORROW (ALSO ABOUT DEPRESSION, BUT SOMEONE ELSE’S). But then, Sono Koe wa Moroku is THE turning point and where he first mentions (in this album) and actual DESIRE to heal and like, ON HIS OWN. IT’S ABOUT BEING STRONG FOR HIMSELF AND THAT MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL. And as I mentioned before, Falling also ends on a hopeful note about sadness not lasting forever – it’s like he’s prefacing the album with the fact sadness IS temporary and that there IS a turning point.

“Babylon’s Taboo is interesting…so apparently Babylon is a figure of western imperialism and capitalism in the Rastafari movement (an afro-centric anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movement from Jamaica). The narrator is COMPLETELY aware of the oppression and injustice that goes on around him but confesses to doing nothing. I interpreted this as complacency to violence, which Ruki has written about before. Also, he describes a starry sky (which I presume represents wealth and happiness) as a lie, and that they are actually black eyes that watch and look down upon you. In the context of anti-capitalism, my interpretation is that the ‘guaranteed fate’ he writes about is the life-long struggle to attain wealth and happiness – we are doomed to dedicate our lives to this, futilely, to no end. and there’s nothing we can do about it. Another line that stood out to me most is “all I need is sanity but uncertainty will do”. this, along with the rest of the song, implies that the narrator is PRETTY DAMN SURE that we’re all fucked so like....HAHA COOL.” (Cr: Defective Tragedy)

(Two of a Kind) Okay so…another motif I noticed in this album is an I and a You. And I know this sounds weird considering almost EVERY SINGLE GAZETTE SONG uses first and second pronouns, but mental health is SUCH a prominent, overarching theme in a way no album concept has been before, hence why I’m saying this. Two of a Kind is really solidifying this for me, but they appear in almost every song (but the You is known as ‘she’ in The Mortal). This pair are connected in an extremely emotionally intimate way. For one, they share pain and understand each other’s pain. Secondly, the narrator falls into depression after they’re gone. A part of me thinks it could be a past self and a current self, considering Ruki’s said this album involved the Most introspection from him and Falling writes about sins and past mistakes again. So, it could be a way of separating a past and current self – a past self that was perhaps lost, and made mistakes, but ultimately creates his current self.

But it could also be another person, as this You figure is also a source of light – someone Ruki shares his wounds with, in Two of a Kind. If it’s another person, it may also make sense that the depression and loneliness written about in The Mortal and Utsusemi is triggered by someone extremely close leaving him. Either way, it is this understanding and connection between the I and the You that also bring hope for the future and I REALLY love the way that hope is conveyed in the chorus of Two of a Kind. There’s so much light in it compared to the parts of the song where ruki calls himself filthy and ugly, and when he writes about negative feelings that never go away and bleed into this other person. but i think this other person understands it, and that’s why he can move on.

“Abhor God is a REALLY dark and heavy take on MOVING FORWARD. Like there’s so much rage in the way he writes about killing his lust, pride and anxiety and stringing up his nightmares in a noose, yet so much power in how he moves forward and sings victory with his music and his art. This is likely connected to Ninth Odd Smell and Uragiru Bero - where he writes about the band’s history and his imposter syndrome as an artist despite the band never going to die just because of that. He contrasts ‘too fast to live’ and ‘too young to die’ like, he’s really in a sort of purgatory where he’s constantly making too many mistakes to be happy but has too much to do for him to give up. So it’s here that he chooses to keep going no matter how weak the beat is. Imagery-wise this feels like.....continuing to live not because you have happiness to look forward to but just out of sheer willpower. Like it’s just so angry. Angry at the world, at yourself, but carrying that anger to try to be better and move forward.”

“And Unfinished is about the fans being his reasons to live and IT MAKES ME VERY EMOTIONAL THAT THIS IS HOW THE ALBUM ENDS!!!!!!! WITH HOPE!!!!! AND MOVING FORWARD!!!!! THEY LITERALLY ENDED THEIR ALBUM THAT’S ABOUT THEM ‘MAKING THEIR MARK ON THEIR WORLD’ WITH LIGHT AND HOPE AFTER LIKE TWO STRAIGHT ALBUMS OF /DEPRESSION/. EVERYBODY GO HOME WE LOVE HEALING IN THIS HOUSE.”

AND THAT’S THE END FOLKS!!!! if you made it here thank you so much for reading my ramblings and i appreciate u so so much <3 i hope you learned something new about the gazette’s music (i sure did - it’s why i went on this marathon in the first place!!) and again i have a list of posts i might write (which will definitely be shorter than these) so! yeah! anyway!! it’s past 11pm and i have no more brain cells. thanks again love ya have a good day/night <3 <3

weird flex but ok i guess

bro, just look @ this bish, like-

m y g o d t h I s i s o l d a s f u c k

…Well, “old” according to internet speed, it’s only been months…a lot of months, but still, they were just months

Yes this the thing I mentioned back in June

Bruh, come to think how much time I went to spend on this hoe, it gets to the point of being just down right sad considering I won’t take this anywhere further than just “plot-wise” sketchdumps and other silly little things around it

And yeah, I’ll admit, I’m sort of frustrated about it, but I’ve given up at fighting with myself over that dead horse for any longer

For what’s remaining relating to this, I’ll just stick with the other stuff that’s yet to be posted (and drawn), since I do still have things to say and show about this concept, and I don’t lose much by just having it up so people could check it out

Though, and I want this to be clear, the writing down here was mostly made during my ‘freshmen’ months in the FNF fandom –hence why I wrote BF’s dialogue like that; I stuck with it since I though that gave the character some identity, but now I can see how silly it sounds-,plus, the sketchdumps I made beyond no. X (using roman numbers for a silly FNF concept? Classy Phids, very classy), most of them corresponding to this year, actually follow a ‘different’ plotline, basically a ‘broken’ version of the original story that’s happening inside a ‘fading’ universe with the ‘core wound’ relying in the hood; long story short, a ‘fake’ reality whose last resort to stop it’s constant destruction is counting on the protagonist –which is, obviously, BoyFriend…well, not actually the canon fellow, but an ‘alternative’ iteration of him that has gathered self-consciousness over the massive destruction happening back at home (it’s basically him and not actually him at the same time; the confusion is a part of both your experience and mine as well as I make this, don’t worry)

Long story short, this version of the concept is basically ‘obsolete’ (I hate that word but it’s the closest way to imply what I’m trying to say here) and most of the things shown here may or may not stick to its rewritten version, just so you know

Might not be the coolest thing, but eh, it’s worth the shot posting about it

Original post title: Haha lookie I made a stupid silly AU fanconcept for Friday Night Funkin’ because FUCK YEAH (Date of writing: Around May-June 2021)

War… Hold up, do we really need a warning for this one? Dunno, but however, watch out for slightly disturbing and kinda…disgusting imagery, trypophobic patterns, as well as ‘necrotic’ designs I made while having funky fever bc o h m y g o d do I get a little crazier every new quarantine day (and at this point it’s coming to be an usual thing for me, big sad). However, most are made no other than for the sole sake of satire, so y’know, no need to get your underwear in a twist

I have my reasons, just…

You guys know me, every time I throw myself into a fandom to be an active fan, most chances are that I can’t help but make something out of it, either be a concept or a whole story on so (nowonderwhyImadeVBandJSABBRwhenIgottoknowaboutthegame-newreleaseinfpascasetho-andallthatjazz)

And funny thing, this was like a mix of my 2018 SFPA and 2020 JSAB enterings, but multiplied by 5 and with the extra nostalgia I got after my research about NG during Remember November back in 2020

Aight, Imma shut up now, and show this off already, let’s a-go

Ahem-

So, I’ll be short for this one

The context I went for this one is pretty simple; before moving to the ‘Big City’ (aka the place GirlFriend lives at, as well as most other characters on the NG and other indies spectrum bc why not), BoyFriend used to live in a really yucky hood with his family, which population, aside from humans, had also zombies, ghosts, ghouls and other supernatural creatures that I’d consider to be the ‘opposite’ of demons and whatnot.

Thing is, in this actual ‘storyline’, BF got the memo that some lousy stuff’s going on over there at his homie hood due to a “mysterious” electricity outage (a blackout), but despite the rough memories of this place, he isn’t resentful about it, and gladly accepts going there to help…and also brings GF with him because #relationshipgoalsamirite

Also, not-so-important fun fact, he and GF have remained together for quite some time already (like 8yrs? 7? Idk but you get my point) despite their relationship being challenged every so and then (that would refer to most mods, as well as some common relationship discordances…depending on which is your definition of ‘common’ here-)

And yesh there is art surrounding this idea as, if not then why would I be posting this anyway lmaooo-

Though, I won’t be posting all of those in here, maybe the ones I already have (both scan and digi ver. if the image limit doesn’t strike me in the face first-) but since I’m just re-entering the NG field as well as learning about its origins yadda-yadda, I want to go slowly but surely on this one so I don’t mess everything up for my sake

And yea some parts might seem a little ‘on a rush’, but I just wanna get this idea out quick cuz I’ll be real, I have little to not much reasons to go anywhere else with this tbh

Here we go I guess:

Friday Night Funkin’ BoyFriend’s Hood – AU fanconcept sketches [I]

EDIT 25/10/2023: Updated the traditional drawing with a rescanned, more clean version

1.-Bike Ridin’ Afternoon

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

**Little lengthy though, you can skip if you want**

Camera briefly shows a far view of the sunset before going low as it shows BF and GF on the distant road, with BF riding his bike while GF grips close to him from behind, her arms surrounding his torso, and her chin resting on his left shoulder

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

There we are; me and my rowdy darling, rolling down the road, with the fresh breeze and the charming sky accompanying us as we go on his motorbike

It might not be the fanciest, but it sure is the fastest…just like his voice when we go funk every Friday night at the club~

We’ve been together for so long, more than a couple of years I would say, and yet, we made it to keep our love beating as loud as the boombox I usually take as my first class seat before the show begins

Screen slightly fades to black

Small ‘memory fragments’ show in the screen one by one (these representing different events, most outstanding ones specifically –yesimtalkingaboutmodsnowshush-)

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

We’ve seen a lot, we’ve heard a lot, and we’ve learnt a lot, especially him…in more than one sense

Memory fragments fade away

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

And no matter what had gotten in between us during those years, he always stood up for me when it was needed, as I did the same when he couldn’t

Small three-in-one transition: GF’s and BF’s silhouettes resembling a hostile scene [*], then a ‘neutral’ one [*] and finally a reconciliation one [*]

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

Even when we had to confront our differences [*], he was understanding enough to give each other some time apart [*] before fixing things up in the end [*]…and it’s funny considering his side work back in town is at a repair shop

Small three-in-one transition fades away

Screen goes back to normal

Camera shows GF and BF front view, as GF softly cuddles BF with a lovesome expression, as he calmly smiles back to her (as referenced in the sketch)

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

…That’s why I love him so much

BF returns his attention to the road, as GF opens her eyes, doing the same.

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

Unlike most guys I’ve met, he’s really passionate on what he does, and doesn’t give up easily on his accomplishments, yet he doesn’t need much to be happy, and has enough self-respect to know when it’s right to step back

Camera goes back to profile, distant view of GF and BF on the road

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

However, he’s on the first mindset right now. And not for our sake only, but for his ‘other family’s’ as well.

BF accelerates his bike as GF holds tighter, and they quickly speed forwards

A dark, blurry shape blocks the view briefly, and the sunset scenario is now replaced by a slight-visually rough neighbourhood environment, as BF and GF are a little closer to the camera’s view

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

Since the day we met as kids, and when we reunited as teenagers, I could tell he had a much tougher life than mine.

He and his family had their struggles back here when he was little; so that he had to learn how to work at a very young age along with his siblings to help themselves and their parents to survive.

Lucky them their parents weren’t too pushy about it

And although he didn’t always bring the topic that often, he didn’t hesitate to share those stories with me anytime he felt like he needed to.

But no matter how rude was life, he didn’t let himself down by it, and even got to make some good memories and fellow friends before moving out, some of which he still stays on-touch with.

I’d like to know them in person some day; from what he told me, they seem to be real nice

…Though he suggested me to hold the horses for a while, since things had been a little…off lately around the hood, more than usual he’d say

And mostly seen in the ‘special’ type of population it also has aside from humans…

Zombies! Yikes!

From what we know, something happened here around the hood that has had them out of control, and people are barely doing anything about it, reason why my dear BF decided to come see what’s going on and if he can do anything to help his ‘homies’ out

And even if the idea of actually living around zombies is quite a spook for me, I decided to come with him anyways. And besides, if he could live around them with no trouble, maybe they aren’t as bad as I might think…hopefully

We even had to switch our clothes to a more ‘chill-coloured’ ones in order to avoid more chaos, since these creatures lose their head towards ‘bright’ or ‘fire-resembling’ colors when they’re not ‘on their five senses’…if they even have any, but that’s just me

GF derails her eyes towards the environment, with a slightly disgusted look on her face.

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

Still, even if this place doesn’t seem as dirty as I imagined it to be, it still stinks…literally saying.

GF returns her view to the front, with her slightly disgusted expression remaining on her face

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

How come hasn’t he wrinkled his nose towards the smell yet?

GF changes her expression to a neutral one

GirlFriend (Narrator by though)

…Oh, of course I forgot. His sense is already used to it, heh…

That explained quite a lot of things when he told me, including not so pretty ones as well, but that’s besides the point, hehe

BF and GF go further foward on the bike, as the screen slightly fades to black (camera goes off)

[Later on…]

(Camera goes back on) BF and GF arrive to BF’s old house –the garage to be specific- as he stops and turns off the motorbike, parking it there, while GF slowly detaches from his torso

BoyFriend

Bep, beep bee bap!

(*Well, here we are!)

BF lets go of the handle and gets off the bike, as GF changes her sitting position (closed legs) and looks around the garage

Close up to GF

GirlFriend

Wow. To be your former home, this place doesn’t seem to have aged that bad; even the garage’s still looking neat.

GF suddenly derails her eyes to BF, whose hand is lend towards her

GirlFriend

Huh?

BF winks her in a ‘fancy’ way

BoyFriend

B’Bap~

(*M’lady~)

GirlFriend

Chuckles. (Oh, you! ~)

GF grabs BF’s hand

GirlFriend

My, how gentle~

GF gets off the bike as well with BF’s help (sorta)

GirlFriend

Good thing you got someone to help bring some of our things here, you really have some lovely friends on your side.

BF walks away from GF towards the garage’s entrance, as he closes the door manually.

BoyFriend

Bee, bap baboop skidoo bep boo bop, bebop

(*Heh, that’s what good trust gets you to, I guess)

BF walks back to GF, hands on his pockets.

BoyFriend

Boo bep bap boo bop bebop, bee bap bobep.

(*But like I told you before, this will be a temporal stay)

Bap beep bop beep skidee bep, beep boo bap boop, bee boop

(*As things get fixed around here, we’ll go back to town, my promise)

GirlFriend

Yeah, I know

BoyFriend

Neutral expression …

GirlFriend

Low faced. …You only said it because you could tell, right?

BoyFriend

Low faced as well. Beep...

(*Yeah…)

GirlFriend

Oh, I…

BoyFriend

Redoes his smile. Boo boop, bap beep

(*Don’t worry, I understand)

Boop bep boo beep skoop, beep bap bep

(*Not everyone’s used to this place’s vibes, and that’s okay)

GirlFriend

Smiles back. I’ll still try giving it a chance, just for you

BoyFriend

Softly blushes. Bee, boop bap boo…

(*Awe, you don’t have to…)

BF goes back to his normal expression.

BoyFriend

Beebap, bep boo bep boop

(*Anyway, we should get going to the living room

Bee bap babop boo beep, bop beep bee beep skidoo bop

(*We have a lot of unpacking to do, so it’s best if we start as soon as possible)

GirlFriend

Alright, sure

Both BF and GF walk towards the garage door –which is off-camera- as the sound of it creaking open and close is heard.

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

**Note: I’d put a little rap battle sequence here as a reminiscence of og FNF’s ‘Tutorial’ where BF tests out a motorized electricity generator’s power with an old boombox he and his family had back then because why not?**

Screen fades to black (camera goes off) x2

[At nightfall…]

(Camera goes back on) We back with BF and GF, who’re just chilling on the living room’s couch, while GF’s head rests on BF’s chest, and his hand holds her shoulder softly.

BoyFriend

Bap, bee beep babeep…beep skidoo beep bop…

(*Man, the memories that this brings back…I’m feeling nostalgic…)

GirlFriend

I got that feeling too. I even remember that one time you ‘took a blow’ for me on your job…

BoyFriend

…Boop bee beep bap ‘bop’ babep boo ‘skadoo’…bep bee bap boo beep

(*…Though the only thing that ‘blow’ harmed was my own ‘fashion’…and my back too a little)

GirlFriend

Giggles. Oh my goodness

BoyFriend

Bop bee bap

(*But it was worth it just to keep your beauty immaculate, hehe)

GirlFriend

Smiles. Hmhmph…

A sudden noise is heard from the kitchen

GirlFriend

Oh, dinner’s ready. Must go turn off the fire.

GF separates from BF, stands up from the couch and walks off the living room, towards the kitchen (off-camera), as he stands up as well an follows her.

Final screen black fade on this (camera goes off definitely here)

-----

Ah yes, my OTP

You can tell by the dialogue development I’m really tru 2 it (though I’m holding myself from melting out into it too much bc I don’t want to get too weird with my ‘romantic’ speech style so yea-)

And yup, BF in this timeline/universe owns a bike

I wanted to make the reason why a surprised at first, but I ended up spoiling it on my little script there (not like I’m mad about it tho olololol-)

Though the slightly faded ‘K’ for Keith on the handle’s front in the trad ver was before I knew BoyFriend’s canon first real name was…well, BoyFriend; but don’t worry there’s a remade version of it in a later sketchdump

And as you may guess, they’re not wearing their usual clothes there –or at least not their original designs so ye-

Pardon if my baboopish’s not that great (nor that short, ugh-), it’s still a little hard for silly me to talk in beatbox language (?)

Ergo, you have permission to make fun of it, won’t mind-

2.-Monday Morning Restin’ (…maybe)

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

Scenario: BF’s parents’ old bedroom, on which’s bed the funky couple is sleeping

A little shine of sunlight sneaks through the window, brightening up BF and GF –yet not enough to wake them up, and GF’s phone alarm starts ringing.

GF wakes up slightly, as she turns around to tap her phone’s screen and turn the ring off.

GirlFriend

Rubbing her eyes off. Hmph, what a night…

GF shakes BF softly

GirlFriend

BF darling, wake up~

BF reacts passively, but doesn’t wake up

GF insists with her shaking

GirlFriend

C’mon, open your eyes~

BF remains asleep

GF crosses her arms

GirlFriend

Soft smirk…Guess I’ll have to be more direct with my memo.

GF gets close and grabs BF by the cheek, as she softly but firmly kisses him on the other one, to which he reacts more actively, waking up quickly.

BoyFriend

Yawns. Hmm…

GirlFriend

Finally, you’re awake; and best be now, ‘cuz you wouldn’t have liked what I’d go for my fourth attempt…

BoyFriend

(*Still more effective than my alarm clock, that’s for sure)

(*Morning babe, how did you sleep?)

GirlFriend

Morning dear; it was decent, I’d say. What about you?

BoyFriend

(*Great, mostly because I was dreaming with you…and about you~)

GirlFriend

Oh, stop it you~

BoyFriend

Visible slight discomfort.

(*…the bed’s couch kinda needs some checking, though)

GirlFriend

Agreed.

BoyFriend

(*Anyway, we should get ready to go now; gotta start off the week on the right foot, if you get what I’m sayin’)

GirlFriend

Smiles. Yeah, I do.

I’ll quickly go wash myself, might not take long

Crosses arms …And no peeks allowed this time. Got it?

BoyFriend

(*Your word is my command, ma’am)

GirlFriend

Boops BF’s nose. Good.

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

[Later on…]

(Camera goes back on) BF and GF are riding on the bike once again, this time with helmets on (better later safe than later sorry, amirite) and GF is now holding BF by his shoulders.

GirlFriend

Are you sure this is the right way to the place that ‘homie’ of yours was talking about?

BoyFriend

(*As sure as of the fact my hair’s not dyed)

Whispers.

(…but if things get too crazy, below this jackie I have some little ‘fire power’ I sneaked out from my dad’s shelf)

GirlFriend

Savage.

BoyFriend

(*On other news thought, I’m glad the workplace you chose has solar panels installed; that’s one worry less for me)

GirlFriend

Oh, I’ll be fine; it’s not the first time I’m using my ‘pretty personality’ to cash in

BoyFriend

(*Will still keep an eye if any simps dare to try hit on you)

GirlFriend

Ew, don’t make me think about that…

BoyFriend

(*I mean the human ones; the undead don’t crave for the living)

(*…but who knows? I’ll watch over them too, just in case…)

GirlFriend

Ironic. That means you’ll also have to watch yourself as well, right?

BoyFriend

(*Huh…?)

GirlFriend

Smirk. You know, according to Tankman’s words back then…

BoyFriend

(*Wha… No, that’s… I mean, yeah but…)

(*Hey!)

GirlFriend

Giggles. You look so cute when you blush~

BF sighs it off and regains his composure.

His expression, somehow, changes to a more serious one (GF doesn’t notice)

BoyFriend (internally talking to self)

(*…I’m also glad that place is run by freaky-steins only)

BF retrieves his previous expression and accelerates forward.

Quick transition to a different scenario (camera goes off and on)

BF stops his bike but keeps it on, as he takes his helmet off and puts his cap on (he had it attached to his belt below his upper clothes)

BoyFriend

(*Well, guess I’m good to go now)

GirlFriend

Disconfort smile. I still feel a little bad about leaving you with no bike.

BoyFriend

(*Ah, it’s fine; I know my way back home on foot)

(*Now go, you have a business to take care of…literally)

GF nods and kisses BF on the cheek, as he gets off the bike and lets her get to the handle.

BF walks away a little and turns around, as GF gets the bike going again and drives her way out of there.

Few seconds of staring later, BF turns around and walks into the alleyway, with a serious look on his face.

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

**Note: In this case, the ‘job interview’ is also interpretated as a rap battle, this time being GF who has to sing along. Which job she’s applying for? You figure it out (?)**

------

Me waking up be like

And if someone asks -‘YO why does BF have bruises on his body??’

Well, at first I thought them to be like a metaphor for the missed arrows during rap battles, but now I think it’s a little dumb (justalittle), so let’s say he just had throwing quite a few gangsta moves with some douches who dared to mess with his girl…and well, here we are

Also, the job interview bit wasn’t originally there, I just brought it up while writing the little script; ik, I’m weird

And before you say it- YEES I NOW KNOW GF’S CANONICALLY TALLER THAN BF

I just mistook it out of slight ignorance by the time I drew this, forgive past me for it plz ty

3.-Waiting for babe to come home

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

//HOL’ UP//

In this case, this can relate to two events of the same type, but with different context outcome

(I) First Noon Wait’s always the scariest one

**Note: Just so it doesn’t feel bland, during BF’s intervention there could be another rap battle aside from GF’s , but idk**

Scenario: GF just chilling in the living room, though a slight sight of discomfort can be seen on her face

GirlFriend

Worried. Where is he? Where IS he…?

He said he would be here soon; but it’s been an hour since I got here before him

I hope he didn’t get baited by that friend of his…even the kindest can have their asshole side too…

Frowns. …Ugh, should I call him? Send him a text? Go look for him…?

The noise of the front door closing is heard

GF shakes out of surprise

GirlFriend

Oh my lord.

GF gets up from the couch and rushes to go check what’s up

Turns out it’s BF that’s finally back home, as he saves his key back onto his pocket after closing the door.

GF goes to him and hugs him.

GirlFriend

Overjoyed(?). Finally! You’re here!

BoyFriend

Surprised.

(*O-oh! I-I’m happy to see you as well, darling, hehe)

GirlFriend

Frowns with a soft worrisome look. What took you so long? You got me worried sick…

BoyFriend

Embarrassed.

(*Ah, sorry about that; seems that walking back home from the repair shop took longer than what I expected…)

GirlFriend

Sighs out of relief. Well, at least you’re still here, safe and sound.

Crosses arms. And how did things end up at that alley you went to? Was it worth the effort?

…and the spent gasoline?

BoyFriend

(*Fortunately it was, I got some indications on where I can go ask for deeper information)

(*…though funny enough, I’ll have to get it by doing what I do best, during Friday even)

GirlFriend

Let me guess, rapping?

BoyFriend

Nods.

GirlFriend

Smiles. …how am I not surprised?

BoyFriend

(*Heh, but anyways, I must get my chords warmed up before showing off)

GirlFriend

You can do that later, how about we share a little drink?

BoyFriend

(*Sure, why not?)

GF takes BF with her to another room (off-camera)

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

(II) Something’s not quite right tonight… (sketch referenced)

**Note: During the time this happens, there’s also some rapping going on. Thing is, BF’s not really having it at best…and GF’s intuition can tell**

First ‘pause bit’: GF waiting outside, back on the wall, crossed arms with a nervous look on her face.

GirlFriend

Don’t fret GF, he’ll come back…

He can handle it…he has gone through worse, so this isn’t anything new for him

Yet, I can’t help but feel like something bad is about to happen…

**Back to track: LOL no shit, woman… BF’s still keeping up though**

Second pause bit: GF checks her phone, looking at the hour, and after sending a few messages that were left unread, she decides to finally quit the waiting.

GirlFriend

Enough with this; it’s already past midnight.

GF taps something on her phone and gets on the bike, with helmet on, as she puts the phone in a little holder the bike has for it.

Haha bike goes vroom vroom

GirlFriend

Never thought I’d have to use this tracking app again, but I’m left with no other choices.

GF gets the bike going, out to find where BF’s at.

**Back to track: BF’s still kicking, but it’s getting little hard to keep up**

Last pause bit: GF arrives to where her ‘GPS’ presumes BF’s phone signal is located in (wow), as she parks and takes her helmet off.

GirlFriend

(Another dark alley…they really do own up to the ‘gangsta’ impression, do they…)

GF keeps the keys and takes her phone with her as well (you guess where she put them idc), but leaves the helmet on the bike and enters the alley.

**Back to track: BF’s cornered, oh no (kILMEE-)**

A final pattern of arrows is sent towards BF, though his lungs are just about to wear out

But before the arrows get to him, GF quickly enters in, mic sneaked out of BF’s hand, and finishes off the patterns, ‘missing’ the last one unconsciously (diag!right)

Still though, she manages to corner the enemy back (keep in mind she basically still has her HP bar at 50% so yeah-)

GF turns to BF, who’s crouched, passively catching his breath, and lowers to his height to look at him

GirlFriend

My goodness, are you okay?

BoyFriend

(*Yeah, I’m fine…)

(Thanks for the backup there, by the way)

“???”

(#Hmm… that brimstone essence… so dense…)

(#… No wonder why this kid’s such a lame-o now! A demon hoe has broken into the hood, yo!)

After throwing a shocked-angry expression towards that comment, BF grows in rage and steps forward, while GF stares with her eyes wide open.

BoyFriend

(*HEY! Say that again and I’ll beat the undead heck out of you, dude!)

BF tries to get near the zombie dude, but GF reacts quick and grabs him by his arms, held close and tight.

GirlFriend (in the moment)

No BF, don’t do it! It’s not worth it!

“???”

(#Yo, like if ya actually had da balls to defend that horny slut!)

BoyFriend

(*At least I still have these pumpin’ unlike yours, you rot bitch!)

Provoked by BF’s words, zombie dude grows furious and ready to strike back

“???”

(#Now you askin’ for it, kid!)

GirlFriend

Gasp. No!

Zombie dude goes for a hold onto BF, but GF takes BF by his left hand –he drops the mic in the moment, making it ‘screech’ loudly on the place- and rushes away with him.

GirlFriend (while running)

Too wild! Gotta leave!

[T.B.C.]

---------

Can we not talk about my clothing choices for GF and how rushed they look now thank you-

She thick tho

And yeah, that…I really got a little too carried away with the second night dialogue there oof-

4.-Injured

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

(Retaking on where things were left on before)

GirlFriend (while running)

Too wild! Gotta leave!

BF and GF rush to the exit, but as they’re about to reach it, the zombie dude –who’s quite far away from the (he no very fast)- grabs his ‘snake’ by its head with one hand.

“???”

(#Hell no, you ain’t leaving just yet!)

Zombie dude throws the creature in a upper-curved line.

The ‘snake’s’ iris flickers in a frightening way as it catches up to the couple, BF being its main target specifically, and reveals a animalistic mouth with teeth and stuff.

…and when getting close enough, the ‘snake’ bites him in the forearm, making a loud crunch while doing so, and ‘spitting’ out little few blood drops out of the injury.

As a response to the pain, BF lets out a loud ‘beep’ (ergo, a scream) and lets go off GF’s hand, who’s looking the whole thing in shock, while turning around to see the creature attached to his limb

BoyFriend (quick talk)

Groans in distress.

(*Urk, why you little-)

BF points his index and middle fingers up, and sinks them in the ‘snake’s’ iris, forcing it to let go

BoyFriend (in the moment)

(*Fuck off!)

BF grabs the ‘snake’ by its tail, swings it two times and throws it back to its owner.

BF clutches his wounded arms not too close throwing a distress sigh

GirlFriend

BF, your-!

One of the zombies tries to catch BF, but he dodges the move.

BF grabs GF’s hand and keeps running

BoyFriend (on the rush)

Slightly off.

(*No time! Let’s go)

Quick transition to the alley’s outside (camera goes off and on)

As he rushes out of the alley with GF, BF catches an undead trying to take his bike.

BoyFriend (on the rush)

(*Oh no, you ain’t getting it!)

**Quick-time event** BF puts his hand inside his jacket, pulls out his dad’s gun and shoots the zombie on the back, getting them off of it

BF and GF get on the bike as he turns it on, GF putting her helmet on, BF not caring that much about doing so, and quickly drives away from that place.

Two other bad boys go follow ‘em in their own motorcycles.

[T.B.C.]

------

Big oof there, mate

…No seriously, that hurts

And here is where things will start getting a little…chaotic, to not say more (and I wouldn’t say I’m glad about it but let’s keep going I guess)

And YES I’m aware the arm he got bitten in the script isn’t the same as it’s shown in the drawing, it was a ‘retroactive’ change the further I went with this, sorry for the confusion; you’ll see how it is in the newer trad/digit sketchdumps

5.-Healing room

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

(Mostly retaking on where things were left on before; same context, different time and place –flash forward)

BF and GF are still riding on the streets.

GF turns back.

GirlFriend

Seems like we lost them…

BF takes a look to the bike’s ‘retro viewer’ (no idea how to say ‘retrovisor’ in English, oops) (ikit’smissinginthedesignbutletsjustimagineitstherefornowokty-)

BF sighs in relief and looks back to the front, as he lowers the speed.

BoyFriend

(*Thank Fulp…)

Suddenly, BF passes out in a flashing moment, derailing the bike a little, but regains consciousness quick enough to regain control onto the handle.

GirlFriend

Shocked. Ah!

BoyFriend

Nervous. …!!

BF stops the bike and holds his injured arm close

GF notices and holds BF’s shoulders

GirlFriend

Oh my lord-

Containing the nerves. We need to take you to a hospital, quick

BoyFriend

(*But do you…?)

GirlFriend

I know one nearby here, let me drive you there

Quick transition (camera goes off and on)

BF and GF have switched places, with GF being the one driving and BF holding to her with his left arm, as his right one –whose ‘patched’ in order to stop the bleeding with a fabric sheet GF had with her for some reason- is placed on her thigh (shedontminddw)

BF lowers his head as a sign of it aching, and GF notices, quickly turning back to him

BF lifts it back up

BoyFriend

(*Just a side effect of the wound, don’t worry)

GirlFriend (on though)

Doubtful. I feel it’s more than just that…

GF turns back to the road

GirlFriend

We’re already here anyway.

GF lowers speed and parks the bike in the spot near the hospital

GirlFriend (on though)

‘:T’ face. Man, even the hospitals look quite ‘post-apocalyptic’ here

Both get off the bike and rush to the door (off-camera), arriving to the reception room

Screen fades to black (camera goes off); Character tiles can still be seen though

Old reception Nurse

Mostly indifferent. Hello, how can I-

Notices the couple, specifically BF, and shocks. Oh my lord!

GirlFriend

Concern. We need a doctor here, quick!

Old reception Nurse

Ah- sure! Go with Dr. Mendel! His room’s at the end of the hall, left side of the elevator

GirlFriend

Thank you

GF rushes away (can be told by the clacking of her steps alongside with BF’s)

Old reception Nurse

Talks to the mic. Dr. Mendel, a patient is coming your way.

He has an injury on his right forearm, a bite wound from what I could tell, and with quite an amount of lost blood.

Your attention is strictly required for him.

…

Amazed. My God…It’s been so long since the last time I saw little BF; he has grown so much…

Concerned. …Hope I do get to see him again.

GF and BF’s steps are heard again, then stop all of a sudden

(Camera goes back on) GF and BF stumbled upon Dr. Mendel.

Dr. Mendel

Hey there, was expecting you to come

To BF. Quick, you come in; we gotta fix that leak on your arm

BF is taken into the surgery room (?) by a nurse

GF wants to come in as well, but is quickly ‘pushed’ away from BF by Mendel.

Dr. Mendel

…Woah there miss; I know you’re worried for him, but you know how it is

GirlFriend

Oh, right

Dr. Mendel

Go wait outside, please

If anything happens, I’ll let you know first

GF nods and leaves

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

[Few hours later…]

(Camera goes back on) GF is waiting on the reception, listening to some music in her phone with a pair of earbuds she had with her way before, but despite that, her mind is still upset.

Nurse

(>Excuse me, Ms G)

As she notices the nurse next to her, GF quickly breaks out her ‘thoughstorm’, takes her earbuds off, and stands up, holding her phone and buds with both hands.

GirlFriend

Slightly anxious. How did things turn out? Is my dear BF okay?

Nurse

(>Yes, he made it through)

(>Thankfully, the wound on his arm wasn’t too deep and could be closed with few complications.

(>He’s also fortunate you brought him in time, he lost quite some blood, but we could return the enough amount to keep him mostly stable until his full recovery)

GirlFriend

Relieved. Ah, glad to hear it.

Nurse

Serious glance.

(>…However…)

GirlFriend

Huh?

Nurse

(>Something outstood on his condition’s first diagnosis)

(>Just to confirm our suspicions, do you know who or what bit him exactly?)

GirlFriend

Recalling. Oh, uh, it was this one…weird creature thing, like a human eye the size of a boa snake.

‘Yuck’ face. It even had a mouth with really ugly teeth and stuff, ew.

Nurse

(>…Oh, so turns out it was what we though after all)

GirlFriend

What’s with it…?

Nurse

(>Long story short, without proper medication, he could’ve gotten infected with a zombie viral parasite)

(>…Correction, the zombie viral parasite)

GirlFriend

Gasp. Oh my…

Nurse

(>Don’t worry though, we supplied him the vaccine against the bacteria it relies on to keep it down)

(>Still, he must follow a certain treatment to recover from it… or in the least ‘lucky’ of cases, have it under control)

GirlFriend

Oh, I see

…Can I see him now?

Nurse

(>Sure dear, come with me)

The nurse takes GF with her and onwards to where BF is kept on.

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

(Camera quickly goes back on) While BF is resting on a hospital bed, his forearm bandaged from elbow to almost wrist and his head uncovered, a familiar voice is heard nearby and also wakes him up.

GirlFriend

Holding BF’s cap. Hey there, babe…

BoyFriend

(*Hey there, GF darling)

GirlFriend

How you feeling?

BoyFriend

(*Kinda tired and a little dizzy, but way better than before, that’s for sure)

(*…Still, I don’t like being bare-haired, it’s too boresome for my fashion)

GirlFriend

Giggles. Neither do I

But here, let me fix it for you

GF puts BF’s cap back on his head and turns it backwards, just like before.

GirlFriend

There you go, looking fab again

BoyFriend

(*Heh, thanks)

(*…I guess we’ll be here for a while, huh?)

GirlFriend

Yeah, I think so

Dr. Mendel said you still need some time to rest before discharge.

And to also let the vaccine he gave you accustom in your body, this that

You know, medic stuff

BoyFriend

(*Hmph)

GirlFriend

Though, I have to thank you a little for –mostly- defending me there.

I can now see a little clearer the reason why you keep me away from most zombies around here, not really used to demon-related people, do they…

BoyFriend

Smiles.

(*Anything to protect you, GF)

GirlFriend

Frowns a little. …Yet still, I hope you’ve learnt you lesson about not engaging hard with people that don’t match your size.

Especially if they have ‘supernatural’ traits.

BoyFriend

Embarrased

(*…Ah, yeah, sorry about that…guess that’s what happens when you get too carried away by the heat of the moment, hehe…)

(*Will control my impulses better next time, I promise)

GF kisses BF on the cheek.

GirlFriend

You better do.

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

[T.B.C.]

------

In the original idea, GF was the one to cure him…but then I remembered this isn’t your usual home-healed type of injury, so… no, scrap that

6.-Sn-eye-ke

Yeah that’s the thing that bit him…ew

I originally though it as a zombie head attached to some ‘organic’ strings, but the more I looked at it, I though ‘woah wait, this sort of seems more like an dissected eye, I’ll go with that instead’ and there you go

Still disgusting though, I would like that thing to stay 10 meters away from me tysm

7.-Still funkin’

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

**Events skipped**

-BF’s quick discharge and final check-up (protocol purposes)

-GF’s little peek for info

Scenario: At home, BF is quietly waiting in the living room, resting on the couch, as he stares every so and then to his phone, wondering things silently in visible concern

BoyFriend (on though)

Worried.

(*It’s already past her leaving hour, she should’ve arrived already, before me…)

Eyes close.

(*…No BF, stay put dude)

Smiles to self.

(*Your gal can handle herself alone, she’ll do fine)

(*We’ve been through worse before, this ain’t anything to get too ousted about)

Held head.

(*…Yet, I can’t stop thinking about last Friday…)

GF arrives, but does little noise so BF doesn’t notice.

But as she comes close to him in the living room in an attempt to ‘surprise greet’ him, BF quickly busts her and sits on, putting his phone away.

BoyFriend

(*Sweet Zone-tan, you’re back!)

GirlFriend

Oh, you don’t say

BoyFriend

(*What… What took you so long? You got me on pins and needles, woman…)

GirlFriend

Oh, I was having a little stroll around the hood, nothing special

BoyFriend

‘Ough’ face (aka missed arrow be like).

(*…You WHAT?)

GF sits alongside with BF

GirlFriend

Hey, don’t fret darling, I didn’t find –or cause any trouble in my way

…But rather, I met a nice freaky homie that swept me some useful info.

BoyFriend

(*Really? What did they tell you?)

GirlFriend

To put it short, he told me a little about this so-called ‘diagonal mechanic’ and how it could be used to fix this whole power outage issue.

BoyFriend

(*Diagonal mechanic…?)

Realizes.

(*Oh damn, of course! How could I forget about it?)

GirlFriend

What? You already knew about that?

BoyFriend

(*The ‘electricity originated from music’ sort of system, yeah)

(*But I didn’t know it would actually become a thing)

GF gives BF the little device she got from that freaky homie.

GirlFriend

Well, at least now’s the right time to put them to use.

But before that, I got you a little something~

GF takes something out of one of her shopping bags and shows it to BF.

It’s a leather jacket with a skull-like print on it

BF takes it with a look of interest

GirlFriend

I’d say it’s basically to compensate what those crazy goops did to your old hoodie, but deep inside, I did it out of bare kindness.

Besides, the person who sold it to me said its material is of very good quality, so y’know…

BoyFriend

(*Wow, this…)

(*You didn’t have to, GF)

(*You must have spent quite some cash here, and…)

GirlFriend

Oh, don’t get worked up on it, B babe

Even if it doesn’t seem so, that little jackie was pretty cheap

But enough chat, how about you try it on here? I wanna see

BoyFriend

(*Well, if you say so)

BF takes the jacket, unzips it and puts it on, zipping it back

BoyFriend

(*Huh, it’s even good to my size, really nice and comfy)

(Though, lemme just…)

BF takes the right sleeve and pulls it up to the elbow’s height.

BoyFriend

(*I like it better this way)

(*Thanks GF, this was real sweet of you)

GirlFriend

Oh, you’re welcome.

Now I think we should go see how that little bad boy works in your hands.

BoyFriend

(*Sure, I’ll get the boombox beating now)

Screen fades to black (camera goes off)

**Note: This is basically another tuto, but with GF guiding BF the same way as she was taught before by the freaky homie**

-------

Please someone tell me you got the Bijuu reference there-

And about the thing on his right hip, it’s supposed to be a gun (possibly the one I just wrote him to have) but ehh…I kinda changed my mind about it being there specifically

As for the little wristlet there, it’s a minor detail I put there just for fun (ifothersdidsowhycanti??)

8.-…well, sorta

[Cutscene-styled script for storytell sake –andbcwhynot-]

**Sidenote: this is basically a more-than-once event, but for now, I’ll portray here the case that comes most to thought right now

Scenario: BF and GF on the streets, after paying off a visit to that freaky homie for ‘grinding’ purposes

Little chit-chat walking going on, until…

BoyFriend

Head aching.

(*Ow…)

GirlFriend

Huh?

BoyFriend

(*W-wait, just…)

…

GirlFriend

…

BF’s head stops aching.

BoyFriend

Sighs

(*…There, it’s gone)

GirlFriend

You good?

BoyFriend

(*Yeah, let’s go)

---------

Oh no he’s having another headache, red flag bad-

Also-

‘Jeez Phids, is that another story following the ‘sicken protagonist’ trope? Can’t you be original for once-?’

Yes I know, but this one kind of has a twist in the end

9.-BF icon but the cap is different

Asset stuff, nothing out of common…yet

10.-‘I can handle it’ (BF’s vague sense of smell)

Ye, like mentioned before, he’s used to putrid smells

No surprise considering he was grown there for some time

…though I’d say it’s something he was born with so y’know

11.-BF’s logo but it’s more related to the hood

Yea I redid his jacket’s logo a little

Looks kinda cool though, don’tcha think?

12.-New arrow keys mechanics…?

…oops

I wanted to keep in secret what they are exactly by the moment, but I accidentally dropped them here soooo…guess not

Though, these you see there now are old designs, but I redid them in a later sketchdump I have so y’know

Their functions are pretty easy to explain…though I doubt they could be actually implemented AND TESTED in-game

Still, here’s what you need to know about them:

Diagonal arrows

Also called power arrows and/or energy tiles, these are a type of keys that ‘outstand’(?) not only because of their general effect (energy generation/transformation/distribution/yougetthepoint) but also because they request for some modifications in the mic they’ll be sung on

Keyboard command to activate one diagonal arrow temporally: Mayus/Ctrl + the corresponding arrow key

Keyboard command to activate/deactivate the diagonal mechanic permanently: Ctrl + Mayus + Enter

Auto arrows

Also called bonerows and/or actions tiles, these are automatic-pressed arrows, basically function the same way as the hellclown/heavenclown ones in the FNFxMdAcc Tricky mod, but they actually have a purpose here, as they allow the boss and/or the player themself –such as BF, GF or Pico even (yesibroughthimheretoo,heseemscoolandafriendofminesafansoiwannajoinherpartyalittlewowowow)- to perform an action in response to what the enemy might attempt to damage their HP range.

Their color palette is the same as the main arrows’, which can make it a little harder to distinguish. However, they don’t have diagonal versions (…or not yet, but who knows)

Inverted controls

Also known as zombie controls and/or undead controls, these are controls used specifically by zombie/undead type bosses. They are composed by

-Rotten arrows. They’re organ-resembling arrows. Color palette is similar, but more opaque than the og one.

-Raw insertion. They’re inside-resembling(?) insertions. They’re slightly low sided and softly tremble when an arrow enters their inlay.

In order to get through them, you have to sing the opposite arrow pattern they might throw you back (in case it happens cuz y’know-)

This second chapter made me feel so much of everything, and I admire the OC for being so mature and put her anger aside. I feel sort of ashamed that it's not something I'd do hehe(seems like I need to grow more) I've never felt this way before but somehow your amazing writing makes me feel everything the OC feels! So thank your very much for sparing time to write all of this amazing stuff, even tho you're really busy. Really, thank you. I love you. ♥

Anonymous said:New rules isn't even about the boys for me anymore it's about this lowkey toxic friendship even if they've been friends for years that's the problem. OC couldn't talk to Mijoo about how she really felt not saying she should've told Mijoo to stay away from Jimin but let her know that it really hurt her feelings and Mijoo clearly didn't have a problem putting a boy over friendship. Even if it started with something small like this it could be the downfall to their friendship.

Anonymous said:I just wouldn't be able to trust Mijoo and that kinda ruins the whole friendship right then and there. It's I would think if she was so quick to ruin something for me for her over a guy what else will she do to put herself before me. I know friendships are important most of the time and the reader and Jimin were never together but I just wouldn't be able to associate with her. This is only what the reader is finding out now what else could Mijoo be hiding and I know it might not be that deep pt1

mirajoey said:Fml. I just hate how sweet demure pretty girls who are actual snake. And people keep misunderstanding 'ice queen but true' type of girls. Why do women need to be attractive (pretty) but superficial af to please men? My ex-crush is in relationship with my bestfriend tho😂 she and my other girl keep mocking me for being the only single ass in the group. Idk if they are intentional or not. I'm about to say fuck off bitch whenever they do that. But i'm a softie for friends. So yeah, am i weak?

Anonymous said:i feel like all this hate towards mijoo and the desire to hurt her is exactly how the oc initially reacted, and everyone who had sent in asks about physically hurting her is an instantaneous reaction, but will not actually do so. its kind of like being so angry during an argument with someone that you say things you dont mean. don't take it at heart. im one of the anons who sent in something about hurting her, and i would not in any way physically harm a person. much less a best friend.

Anonymous said:NR 2, Great writing as always. But I wouldnt have been as forgiving, maybe after a day or 2 we could talk things through with her after that. I get why some friendships crumble because of that. Its not because of the guy but because of the betrayal. It would hurt so much more from a friend you trust and have been open with all this. It just means they didnt choose to trust you with the truth and she didnt even admit it after all this time.

Anonymous said:wow that Mijoo... I have two thoughts: 1. "I hate snakeu" and 2. Haven't she heard the phrase, fries before guys? btw I would cut all connections with a "friend" like that. But you are wonderful Lu and never fail to amaze us♡ Thank you for sharing such quality contents so often~ Have a nice day!

Anonymous said:oH MY GOD! New rules 2 had me screeching. Bruh you make me so sad but i love it. Im in emotional turmoil for OC. Im. I just dont know man. Her friends are such asses.

Anonymous said:Ahh new rules hit me so hard, i actually cried! I relate so much to the oc and my own best friend of over 10 years pulled that shit on me and I was so, so hurt that I didn't even cared about the guy anymore but her betrayal really hit me....ahhh anyway that's such a emotional ride!!!! I love your writing 💕

Anonymous said:new rules makes me really sad of how friendships are always regarded as smth less than relationships. and the worst part is people around me would literally question me abt why im so against relationships when im not? i just feel like relationships and friendships are different but equally important.. it's so upsetting to know that friends that you treasure dont treasure you in the same way just because u r not their partner.

Anonymous said:Forgive me if I'm reading way too much into this, but I think the reason Mijo's betrayal brought so many strong emotions in a lot of readers is because most women "dread" something like that happening.. No one wants the "girls hate other girls/pick guys over friendships" stereotype to be true because it IS an awful stereotype, so when it happens (cause some people are awful and some of those people are girls) it's really heartbreaking.. 1/?

Anonymous said:the act alone is terrible but add to it that this proved the stereotype for some people and it can really sting!!I think that's the reason why "Mean Girls" is so popular! It satirizes that feeling and makes it funny/tolerable! The OC is acting in a mature way but given that she's a feminist it can also be that she doesn't want to prove that stereotype and wants to act above it! 2/?

Anonymous said:It's very understandable BUT no one would expect boys/men to be friends after something like that because it WAS hurtful and selfish and awful and Mijoo shouldn't get a pass just because she's a girl and OC wants to prove a point! Remove jimin from the equation and add a job promotion with Mijoo being sneaky and getting it instead of OC for reasons SHE instigated and it should be clear why OC needs to be angry! 3/4

Anonymous said:They should at least argue about it with a line in the sand drawn if it happens again! *not saying you should do that of course, the story is a stroy and should have this kind of layers/complex feelings, I'm talking in a real life scenario I guess* sorry to dump all this on you but it brought so many feelings and I had to write them down!! What do you think? A stretch? 4/4

Anonymous said:There would have been at minimum a month of radio silence from me if I were OC and one of my girl friends pulled a stunt like M.

Anonymous said:To be honest, I feel like maybe how the MC handled Mijoo maybe wasn't the mature thing to do? I guess in the past I always felt like being mature was keeping friends no matter what they pulled, but lately I feel like cutting off toxic friends actually is sometimes the best way to handle things? Like not causing a scene, or anything. It's just that I've come to value trust and respect in my relationships, and after part two I feel like I personally cannot trust or respect her. Just some thoughts!

Anonymous said:how is the OC so patient and... nice ?!!1!1!1 if i were her i’d be a salty ass bitch at mijoo like heck you just stole my crush away from me just because YOU like him. kdndksjsoana i feel aNgEr

Anonymous said:i hope karma fucks mijoo in the ass. i hate everything and i hope jungkook gets his ass whooped too so he can actually act like a human being for once. thanks for writing new rules

Anonymous said:As much as the OC is remarkable for her self sacrifice I feel Jimin had the right to know what happened and Mijoo really needs to know that what she did was not okay. Sure OC didn’t do the wrong thing by throwing a tantrum and ruining Mijoo’s life but I just felt like honest communication is necessary. This brings me to the point that I like how you write realistic stories because in life decisions aren’t so black and white.

Anonymous said:Yes I totally get you Lu. And in all honesty, I wouldn't have forgiven her. I wouldn't have caused that much or big of a scene, but I would have definitely ended my 'friendship' right then and there. It irritated me though that OC even went up to her and touched her asdsfhk. I would have went to sleep. I once had a friend who did the same shit twice. She dated the boys I liked, knowing about my feelings for each of them and then acted innocent. It felt like reading about me. - Reasoning Anon

Anonymous said:And the worst part is that I felt exactly the same way OC did. I just can't be mean to people. No matter how much I despise them. No matter how much they hurt or angered me. Because then I feel so evil, so I let it happen. Then I leash out on other people who never did (Jungkook). I just let them hurt me. And then I feel guilty about having mean thoughts about them. And when OC thought and felt like the asshole, the monster ... man. I already hate this story, go away 😩 - Reasoning Anon

Anonymous said:the oc in new rules is like waaay too kind to her "best friend", why would a "best friend" sabotage a girl's chance to get with a guy who genuinely likes her i still don't understand. it doesn't matter if the "best friend" likes the guy, i am betting the oc is some martyr to be that sacrificial. i would drop my "best friend" if she tried that on me

Anonymous said:LIVID. I'm so angry that Mijoo never gave OC Jimin's confession note, then had the nerve to involve OC as she was stressing over him. I'm frustrated that OC puts Mijoo on a pedestal just bc she's pretty, & seems to see Mijoo as more deserving of happiness than herself. Mijoo is a snake & deserves to be exposed bc she did both Jimin and OC dirty by not giving her his note. She deprived them both of what they wanted, & any relationship she now has w Jimin is tainted by what she did to him a yr ago

Anonymous said:I can only hope that Jimin wakes up and realizes what a snake Mijoo is. With a girl like her, I doubt their relationship can work out (or at least that's what I hope).

Anonymous said:mijoo gotta go

Anonymous said:I'm in love with new rules omg if I found out my best friend hid something like that from me I would be livid I don't know how she kept her cool. Can't wait for the next part! 💖💖💖

Anonymous said:Omg her friend is a snake and she's too forgiving 🤧😫😩 I just want to grab OC's shoulders and shake some sense into her, she's allowed to be angry at her friend, she's deserves to be happy too. I'm excited to see how the rest of this story is gonna develop, I really love all your writing. You have such a way with words that makes me feel like I watching a movie rather than just reading a story. 👌❤️👌

bangtanboys-hoe said:This may be the bitch in me talking but I would've made her feel like shit. I would move out, block her number, and tell Jimin everything. I would've made her life a living hell hole. But this is just a story and I'm too nice of a person to do that.

Anonymous said:okay first how's your day, how you're doing. And second MIJOO IS SUCH A BITCH NO FUCK FHAT. WHAT HAPPENED TO LOYALTY, OC GAVE UP HER LIVE AND MIJOO DECIDED TO TAKE IT DOE SELF. FUCK JIMIN (I love you jimin) BUT BOTH OF THEM FUCK UP THEIR FRIENDSHIP. I couldn't even enjoy the smut I'm so mad. Plus GOOD JOB ON THE NEW CHAPTER! It's really good! Hope you have a good day :)

Anonymous said:Fuck mijoo AHHSGAHHDH WHY WHY WHY

omg im very overwhelmed by the incredible response to ch 2 of new rules and i feel so bad but i srsly cant answer all of your messages. But the intense reactions this fic inspired is so shocking yet understandable. I just hope you all aren’t too upset and that you can have an open mind for the next chapter ^^
