[maddieandangel]

Had a weird Hollow Knight-related dream a couple days ago, so I decided to draw a major scene I remembered from it dgsgshf

More context will be in the tags, for those interested!

╰┈➤ SHUFFLE AU

DESTINATION POINT (DP)

the Leo/need adjacent unit, composed of Ichika Hoshino, Airi Momoi, Ena Shinonome, and Minori Hanasato. ☆ a girl who's lost her friendships, and three others searching for their worth.

about the group's name: ♡ originally, i had "from here to there" in mind, but someone from the Discord gave me the name "destination point" and i thought it was much better, so i went with that. ♪

about the SEKAI: ♡ the Train SEKAI. no one knows when it left, or where it's going - just that it never stops. it's the perfect place for those who feel like they're lagging behind. just close your eyes and let yourself be carried away, right? but maybe there's something you can do… starts with a Miku and a Rin. the former's hardworking and talented, but the latter struggles - Rin is somewhat influenced by Ena's (and, to a lesser extent, Airi's) jealousy towards others.

•

Ichika hasn't managed to rekindle her friendship with her friends, and she's not doing particularly well. At one point, she meets Airi - who just quit being an idol. The two start talking and become friends, at which point they end up forming a band together. Airi wants to try finding a place where she could finally be taken seriously.

Ena's invited by Airi, and Minori - who had failed auditions recently - ends up inspired by Ichika's kindness, Airi's drive and Ena's determination, which is how she joins. (Haruka completely gave up on being an idol; something Minori is saddened by.)

In my mind, Ichika plays the guitar; Airi, the drums; Minori, the keyboard and Ena, the bass.

IDEAL HEAVEN! (IH)

the MORE MORE JUMP! adjacent unit, composed of Mafuyu Asahina, Emu Otori, Mizuki Akiyama and Shizuku Hinomori. ☆ an up-and-coming idol group that combines cuteness and sophistication.

about the SEKAI: ♡ quite similar to the Empty SEKAI, but with some idol influences - a broken stage with no one in sight. there's no bright lights, no colorful props. nothing. that SEKAI both comforts and pains Mafuyu. home to a lone Miku. sweet, hopeful, but genuinely crushed by the pressure she's feeling.

•

Mafuyu's mother wants a perfect child. idols are very frequently represented as being perfect - so, she decides that her daughter should become one, too. Mafuyu's not keen on the idea, but that's her mother; she's obedient, so she goes along with it.

Shizuku still quit Cheerful * Days, but instead of stopping altogether she ends up with Mafuyu. Emu wants to make people smile, but no one ever came; Wonderlands × Showtime was never a thing. so she decides to become an idol instead, even if it means she'll never bring back the Wonder Stage to its former state.

Mizuki's half-dragged into IDEAL HEAVEN! by Emu, who saw them looking with interest at idol merch. after bringing them to meet Mafuyu and Shizuku, Mizuki ends up accepting - the idea of wearing cute clothes and being called cute doesn't seem too terrible.

READY MADE SUCCESS (RMS)

the Vivid BAD SQUAD adjacent unit, composed of Haruka Kiritani, An Shiraishi, Shiho Hinomori and Akito Shinonome. ☆ two street musicians chasing after their dream, and the two girls they brought with them.

about the SEKAI: ♡ the Street SEKAI. weirdly, it seems Haruka's idol background has somewhat influenced its appearance. its inhabitants are Miku, Meiko and Len. this Miku is levelheaded, but it seems like there's something holding her back from going all-in...

•

after quitting being an idol, Haruka is invited by An to join her.

An's never met Kohane, and she never found a partner. Haruka is hesitant for a moment before deciding to give it a shot, though she keeps struggling with singing. Shiho tries getting more experience, meets Akito. no one really knows how these two ended together, but they both have a similar drive and take music very seriously.

eventually, they all start working together. Haruka deals with her guilt and, while she doubts she'll become an idol again, she's mostly made peace with what happened.

STARLIGHT ☆ EVERMORE (S ☆ E)

the Wonderlands × Showtime adjacent unit, composed of Tsukasa Tenma, Saki Tenma, Kanade Yoisaki and Toya Aoyagi. ☆ a strange troupe of people who aim to help others through their performances.

about the SEKAI: ♡ still very much Tsukasa's, so it's the Wonderland SEKAI. [kanade goes there for the first time and dies. alas, they're still a shut-in and this place is simply too colorful for her poor eyes.] starts with a Miku and a Kaito, though this version of the former uses far less onomatopoeias.

Tsukasa figures he needs to show the world how much of a star he is himself, and he drags his siblings into it (with varying degrees of willingness).

a part of Saki still wishes she could be in a band with her friends; she's only somewhat managed to repair her friendship with Ichika. but she's still happy to do something fun and lighthearted after all her struggles. Toya's very excited to do something with Tsukasa and his siblings. he also gets to stick it to his dad, which, honestly - is a bonus.

out of the three, Kanade is obviously the most hesitant about the whole thing. but she sees Tsukasa's drive to make others happy, something she shares with him, so she ends up agreeing. Kanade is… slightly healthier physically on account of the stubborn people looking after her, as well as all the exercise she does she does as part of Starlight ☆ Evermore. mentally? eh… we'll get there. i need her traumatized to be interesting. <3

LONELY SYNDROME (LS)

the 25-ji, Nightcord de. adjacent unit, composed of Nene Kusanagi, Rui Kamishiro, Honami Mochizuki and Kohane Azusawa. ☆ hidden behind avatars, these citizens of the web tell stories online.

about the SEKAI: ♡ the arcade SEKAI. this Miku is shy and withdrawn, though she one day hopes she'll be able to break out of her shell, just like Nene. alongside her is Luka - she has a bit of a teasing attitude and a catlike personality, but she always does her best to boost Nene's confidence.

about the group's name: ♡ syndrome refers to a group of symptoms - i paired it with the word lonely because i felt like it represented the atmosphere of an arcade. you're connected with people who share your interests, but at the same time, you're sort of separate from them. surrounded by people, but utterly alone…

•

Nene's social anxiety hasn't gotten better over the years. since she never joins Wonderlands × Showtime, she doesn't learn how to fight her stage fright.

but, she finds an alternate solution; using an avatar online. it's less stress-inducing, and it lets her pursue acting, in a way - it's not what Nene wants, but it's close enough. she figures she could be satisfied with that. Rui ends up figuring out what she's doing, and asks if he can help. Nene doesn't really have any reason to say no, so they start working together.

as for Honami and Kohane, they ended up on Nene's channel by pure accident. but her performances quickly became a comfort to them, since they were struggling at the time (the former because she no longer had her friends, the latter because of her lack of confidence).

unfortunately, ignoring your problems only goes so far, and eventually, her feelings give birth to the arcade SEKAI.

Me, coming back to tumblr after a tiresome day: Hey... what have I lost?

Twst: YO TAKE THIS *violently throws Jack's card*

where do I even begin? the definition of "last but not less important"

[ratatatastic]

i think the thing that kills me the most about mikksy going as a slytherin to the kitty halloween party is the fact that you can absolutely tell he did not change out after the vegas game. same suit, loafers and everything. mans just put the robe and scarf on top and called it a day

[ladies-and-jennes]

The era changed from Rei-Kanato-Sakina-Makoto-Toa to Sea-An-Jun-Chisei-Minato in just one year it's crazy. 110th is definitely a year

@beatingheart-bride

It was disheartening, to think that, much like the de Clairs, the Gracey parents were very hands-off when it came to their one and only son, but the guests at least took solace in the notion that Beau had been there for the boy, to lend a firm and loving hand as he grew-there was denying there was a very familial relationship between the young master and his majordomo, something that went beyond class boundaries, beyond the staid rules of employer and employee, student and teacher.

"Dorian would tell you himself that Beau was more parental than his own parents," Randall remarked with a wry smile. "They were often just...so busy that they really wouldn't give him the time of day, so most of the time, he was with Beau and, for a time, with Ma and me. He's said before how she was more motherly than Mrs. Gracey."

"He was like a second son, when Randall was a boy," June recalled fondly. "They were thick as thieves from the minute they met; when they weren't both helping me in the garden or learning from Beau, they were running all over the Mansion, playing to their hearts' content." It was easily the happiest few months of her son's childhood-and she was sure Dorian would say the same.

"And they're still close as can be today!" Wilhelm added brightly. "Randall and Emily and Dorian and Elizabeth, they're all family as far as we're concerned; the Gracey's are Lon and Erika's godparents, and honorary aunt and uncle to boot!"

"Oh yeah? You two lads ever get up to any mischief when you were younger?" Callahan asked with a smirk, to which Randall admitted bashfully, "We may have raised a little hell when we got together..."

Glitter

His head is pounding, and the room is swaying slightly, but he doesn’t feel that sick… and the taste of bile doesn’t linger in his mouth…

He tries to remember, but everything is a distant blur… he remembers…

Being on Gon’s knee…

His face feels hot…

He presses his palms to his cheeks; his lips parted open.

He thinks… Gon brushed his teeth… it’s all fuzzy, but he remembers pressing up to Gon’s chest, and resting his head there, giggling happily.

how is a girl supposed to sleep knowing the wxs main story animation is releasing in less than 10 hours

the way togashi just went straight out and said look how much better this guy is when he gave up on revenge.

[leafatlaw]

see the thing about Russian Doll is that while it is a very fun and interesting and new take on the idea of time looping. But it does so at the very expese of the one rule of time looping: time repeatly loops, until the main character learns a lesson. However RD fails this by setting a TIME LIMIT on the ENDLESS TIME LOOP. its insne and it should ruin the whole show, but it doesnt because thats how good the writing and charcters are.
