#bing bong’s sweet stuff

[laurenovercalifornia]

[jellazticious]

bing bong bootleg SS au

very long ramble under the C

stuff are subjected to change

The working title isn't solidified but I'm leaning on either Candy Castle or Pastry Castle

Tho I think I'm gonna go for pastry cuz it has the same amount of letters as castle much like pizza and tower have the same number too

The tower is a gingerbread castle. According to a friend of mine (It's Beefy, it's always Beefy go follow him) that Hispanics love their bakeries and yeah, I guess that makes sense. Not only do I have a theme based on the protag's culture but also the theme gets narrowed down to just baked sweets. Candy in general is too broad, I would die figuring out how to put every kind of sweet in it, and if I did it's gonna be really cluttered hooboy

Noise is called Theo because that's Peppino's name formula. Peppino is a nickname for Giuseppe so I thought I'd give Noise's swap a nickname to Theodore as the main name

Hazel Nutt is pretty self explanatory cuz Noisette means hazelnut in French

Their outfits are pretty simple to mirror Peppino and Gustavo's with just coloured shirts and aprons

Hazel doesn't get a mount because she would have Theo's prototype rocket skates. Just like Gus, she would have different stages of getting used to the skates per floor. First she gets blasted from end to end cuz she can't control the thrust. Second, she manages to turn it off but she's trying to keep balance on it. Third, she catches her breath now that she could stand still without moving or slipping. Next she would make a card castle, in reference to the very castle they're inside. and lastly she'd be holding a box of sweets without giving a shit about the scary floor.

To parallel the og Noisette, Hazel would smile bigger when Theo faces her direction.

Hazel is also Theo's delivery gal to match and switch with how Peppino WAS Gustavo's delivery guy

The "kick the rat" function would be Hazel swinging one of the skates and the cops grabbing Brick would instead hold a weapon detector that also functions as a magnet

Unlike Peppino, Theo is more aggressive than anxious. Imagine an injured cat defending itself from what it thinks is a threat

the name of Pizzaface's swap is Pieface for obvious reasons 😭

but HEAR ME OUT

both pizzaface and pieface are used as insults. pizza face is used for people with so much acne and pie face is used for someone with a flat face or dull expression. It isn't just a pun on what food the characters are made of. Pieface is also a reference to the trope where people headshot other people with pies. With the mech floating towards the protag, it would look like a pie is being thrown and targeted at Theo

Honestly drawing what food makes his face is so fun. Did you know that before the croissant smile it was supposed to be syrup shaped to a smile? The nose was a long whip of cream before turning into a cut strawberry for the mustache effect

Pizzahead's candy version would be called Gingerhead because of how ridiculous it sounds.

Gingerhead is based on Willy Wonka much like how Pizzahead is based on Ronald McDonald which is why he has more of a showman look than a clown look

okay side note, it just occured to me how ironic PH being based on Ronald is considering McDo's isn't a pizza place

actually Wonka doesn't even sell cakes and shit so, I guess it's fair game

Theo has the nickname Muffinman to reference the rhyme. but this time, it's the gingerbreadman chasing the baker

Next up is Mr S, who would be Peppino but he becomes rich. Mr S is the stage name he uses. He is a known celebrity much as Noise is but he is more of a boxer than a host. Like Dwayne Johnson or something. His name is partially a reference to ResEvil's Mr X, another absolute unit of a guy

also the reason why he doesn't wear a shirt. He's committing to the bit. If he needs to cover himself when he isn't playing a role, then there's his robe. He doesn't take out his mask most of the time tho

Mr S's mask is based on the Chef Raider design but also part of the scrapped superhero design much like Pizzano. Actually speaking of Pizzano, S is characterized so similarly to him cuz Pizzano is the only SS character who was actually written well to my standards. To be fair we've seen too much of Peppino to flunk characterizing him sksksk

Since this is Peppino that Mr S is based on, he's not as tech savvy or as self centered as Noise so he doesn't have robots that look like himself. Instead he has ants for a crew

the ants swap the place of rats. the rats in PT reference the new york pizza rat while ants just generally eat your food especially if it's sweet when left alone for five minutes

the ants come from Mr G, who would be Gustavo's swap with Noisette. He's Mr S's lawyer. at the end of S's bossfight, G would snatch him away with Click (the ant) because S would make a foul and embarrassing move on live camera

I can't seperate Gustavo and Brick so Click stays with Mr G instead of assisting Hazel

inside what would be Noisette cafe, instead of Mr G and Click being behind the counter, they would be sitting as customers next to Caraman. the barista isn't seen anywhere

Honestly when I'm writing everyone, my logic of swapping them isn't "make them switch places AND personalities" but more of "write every single one of them with the og personality because giving them a different lifestyle/role would drastically change their motives and how they behave"

I'm practically just swapping each character's place of birth

I mentioned this because it's kinda funny with Noisette and Gus since they play the exact same role of assisting Peppino/Noise so swapping them won't change much in how they act. They also have the same cheery and welcoming personality by default so Hazel and Mr G would act REALLY similar to their og

The only difference is that Gustavo can be threatening whenever Peppino fucks up. It fits right in with being a lawyer for the same goon

Now we got Mel Caraman who would become this au's Vigi. Lemme just say off the bat that Caraman is just as delusional as Vigi. He gets hired as a guard for floor 2 and took it way too seriously that he thinks he's some sort of sentinel. Hired as a guard but thinks he's an ancient guardian or something

his name vaguely references James Bond because you also VAGUELY get "caramel" out of "Caraman, Mel Caraman"

Caraman is a caramel apple but he's half glazed to form an eyemask. he's also got a stick poking out his head that stretches his chorro hat. the big hat makes him look cooler anyways. Bro I was so ready to settle for a shitty wild west mayor hat and I owe Beefy one for suggesting a new hat. I was gonna make him look like Doug Dimmadome with the short brimmed tall hat😭😭😭

but yeah Caraman doesn't have the same dignity as Vigi does. He can fight crime decently on normal circumstances and badass when he's full serious. But like day in day out he's so obnoxious about looking for crime that people get tired of him nor would they take him seriously

he would also be mistaken for a pepper

Next to last, Cam M. Bert or just Bert who would take place of Pepperman. he's an artist who appreciates the world instead of himself, a freelancer also. There was only a bossfight because he was coincidentally commissioned to make a mural for the castle the same time Theo busts in. He didn't like how Theo ruined some of his works with his rush to open the door

Bert is a cream cheese instead of a cheese slime. his beret is actually a little cherry to distinguish him from the other creams.

Bert is really chill and humble, He's like Bob Ross, whenever he can, he'd try to talk about how every beauty in the world should be immortalized through a canvas

In parallel to Vigi's delusion of thinking he's a human, Bert thinks he's actually a living painting (which is completely possible for someone to be in the PT world since Pepperman was able to do it with his own art)

instead of a :{ face that Vigilante has, Bert has a :3 face

the naming formula is taken directly from Vigi

Vig E. Lantte

Cam M. Bert

There is a type of sweet cheese that's really creamy called camembert which his name is a direct reference from. Here is a picture of a camembert since it's hella cute

Camembert cheese was also suggested by Beefy, brother thank you for not allowing me to name this cunt Creamlad

Mr Lardo would be in place of Mr Stick but his motive is that he's collecting Theo's money on BEHALF of Mr Stick. They're probably the only ones who completely stay intact because there's not much canon info of Stick WITHIN the game itself I also feel he's a crossover character from his own "series" with how long McPig has him prior to PT so I just swap the character who makes the "cameo"

The toppins are still called toppins because they'd be used to decorate a cake or pie. They would be

Strawberry - Mushroom

Cream - Cheese

Cookie - Tomato

Icing (in a piping bag) - Sausage

actually I dont know yet for the pineapple but I'll get to it. I've only been figuring out this au since four days ago....

Lastly (of the characters), the Faker in this would be mechanical to match the original Noise's familiarity in robots

Fake Theo (temp name) would be engineered to be "Theo but way better" while actually being succesful with it. Faker would also sort of look like a mini figure of a ballerina. Referencing The Nutcracker

Opposite to Fake Peppino, Fake Theo is more graceful than terrifying but it's so uncanny how unnaturally pretty it is

and now some misc stuff

Title of the final level is When The Cookie Crumbles

the pepper pizza will be replaced with an extremely sweet pie and the immunity is caused by the sugar rush from it

Pizza Time is called Crunch Time

Pillar John would be a giant graham cracker since the walls are made of cookies instead of bricks. Gerome however, is a solidified bar of brownies. like a shittily made brownie that it just turned into a construction brick

Snotty is a pure white cream cheese and that's cuz he's actually made of glue. His name is Sticky

Pigs would either be bears or rabbits with how many times those two animals represented sweets

I'm gonna be clear with everyone here. I literally made this au cuz I'm going insane trying to make swap stuff with Pascal/Stefano when the au itself is so empty. sure it's colourful but it's so empty like I can't draw SS characters outside of poses

I tried like doing fanon modifications as I always do then there's so much I "modified" that at this point it's not Sugary Spire anymore. Just straight up a completely different au. The only similarity is that it's a swap au with sweets

it is what it is yknow. this is my life now. I said fuck it and went with the flow and boom, new personal au that I poured too much into

basically I blame Pascal for this

Mistledrone - ISWM

Concept from: @ask-the-invincible-crew & @starry-nightengale

Cei Meaner enjoyed their position as Secretary aboard the Invincible II. Sure, sometimes the days were long, especially with the light reactor work they did on the side on the odd day. But the coworkers they had were nice, Burt and Captain were lovely bosses and their positions gave them their own room and a seat in the crew lead common room. The crew-leads needed a lot of paperwork help.

A particularly nice coworker of theirs went by the name of Tyler. He was the first mate, and also took some odd cryo and engineering jobs. That meant his bosses were Mark, Celci and Captain, which they knew was certainly an ongoing headache for the man.

Yet, even with all that he still found the time to talk with Cei. They knew it was guaranteed, considering he was the Captain’s first mate and they were the Captain’s secretary, but god they really appreciated it.

Whenever Captain let them know they had a task for them to complete with Tyler, their heart always jumped and stomach seemed to flutter, which wasn’t that obvious. Probably.

They’d fallen for the idiot properly around week seven of the ship’s stationary plan.

The pair needed to go and get a cart from storage, so Mark could shuffle some stuff around safely in his division’s work place. Captain knew the dumbass wouldn’t go and get one himself.

“Are we certain this’ll hold?” Hummed Cei.

“I don’t see why it wouldn’t.” Shrugged Tyler, dragging out a trolley from the stack and wheeling it side to side. “We could always test it.”

“How would we test it?”

Cei watched as Tyler stepped onto the trolley and pushed off, gliding down the rows of storage shelves.

“Wait- Tyler- That can’t be safe-“

CRASH

“Tyler! Are you alright?!”

“Yeah! I’m good, don’t worry! I rolled off at the last second, spy style!”

Cei snickered.

“Heh, right.”

Now, you're probably wondering how Cei ended up admitting these feelings. It’s approaching christmas time and that only means one thing.

Mistletoe.

Well, not on the Invincible II. Here it means:

Mistledrone.

A fancy little machine commissioned by Danny from Brian to get some Christmas kiss action on board the ship.

The general idea of the contraption was it would fly around the ship on a loop, finding two unsuspecting crew to catch under the mistletoe, which wouldn’t part from the pair unless a kiss/ a hug/ or tap out was demonstrated. It had led to some sweet moments and some funny ones too. As long as the drone was on and flying, if you got under it, you played it’s game.

Cei had stepped out of their office to the sound of banging, which was odd, considering it was coming from the corridor, not one of the divisions. They found Tyler with a broom, hitting one of the roof panels. Upon closer inspection they spotted the Mistledrone turned off and stuck to it.

“Oh dear, it’s trapped!” They frowned.

Tyler looked up at the sound of their voice.

“Yeah, I'm trying to get it out without breaking it.” He explained.

“Do you want me to stand under it, so I can catch it when it falls?” Offered Cei.

“Oh yeah, that’s a smart idea.”

They stood in front of Tyler, who continued to free the drone with his broom. They held their hands out ready to catch it. A few minutes of whacking went by when the drone began to wire to life again, the lights and mistletoe back on view. Tyler paused his whacking. It managed to unstuck itself and hovered above Tyler and Cei whilst it rebooted.

“Well! There we go-“

Bing Bong!

The pair looked up at the drone.

“Of course.” Said Tyler, glaring at the flying machine.

“You uh can tap out you know?” Reminded Cei, flushing and pushing down the disappointment.

“Oh, well I would, but I don’t really want to. Unless, of course, you want to tap out.” Replied Tyler, with an assuring smile. “You're probably the only person on board I want to kiss, if I’m being honest.”

Cei stayed at him, flustering.

Oh

Oh.

“You’re uh the only person I’d want to kiss too.” Cei admitted, bashfully.

“Well, if we’re both in agreement then.” Hummed Tyler, teasingly towards them.

“Oh shut up.” They mumbled.

Tyler laughed gently, taking their hands in his own.

“May I then?”

“Yes, you may.”

He gently leaned towards them and kissed Cei lightly on the lips, which they reciprocated.

“Goddamn, this mistledrone really works Huh?”

“Yup.”

“What should their ship name be?”

“Not every couple needs to have a ship name, Mark.”

“And why not, asshat?”

“Alright, quiet you two, they might hear you.”

“Sorry Captain-“

F is for friends who do stuff together - the awake at 2 AM remix

Joan needs a swear jar, Talyn's a lightbulb, Valerie is tired and valid, and Thomas+Sides are very confused)

Summary- Thomas has had his sides around for... a long time. That's for sure. And he knows that nobody else can see them (except maybe Lilly, but she has sides too, so).

Pairings- Pintroverts, Thomas and friends, Thomas and Sides

Read on AO3

Word count- 2666

Warnings- It has character!everyone, and NOT their real life counterparts. Please remember this.

Other notes- AU where instead of Vine, c!Thomas left chemical engineering for signing with a really dope theatre company with his friends. He still meets Nico at the mall, but Nico's a new writer for the company! All the sides are friends too! Enjoy!

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

Look, the first time was an accident, okay? Joan was tired and a bit incoherent and what was Thomas supposed to do?!! Leave them be? No! So Joan ended up staying the night.

Except, the next morning was when everyone had entered the courtroom together and they'd gotten WAY too dramatic over whether to lie to them about a text they'd made like… two days ago and that Thomas had only seen after combing through a barrage of memes and that Joan probably wouldn't remember, come to think about it. But that was hindsight and after the utter nightmare that was a whole day (A whole day!!) with Aunt Patty the day before, Virgil and Patton were absolutely freaking out, probably giving Deceit (Who, in hindsight, Thomas knows as Janus) a little extra leeway into the conversation that day.

Either way, Joan had stayed the night in order to recover from the utter sleep-deprivation that they'd been going through, and Thomas had forgotten about the fact that Joan was even there for most of the morning, only seeing them after the entire courtroom spectacle (and a suspiciously dire warning from Virgil) at breakfast, and them leaving to see Talyn a little after (with plenty of hugs involved, duh).

Then Thomas told Joan the truth over the call, and Joan had said The Line (as Roman, Virgil and Janus call it with an oddly cryptid-like voice) and Thomas felt himself go frigid.

Since when did Joan know that Thomas talked to his sides?! Had they learned their names? Figured out that Thomas might just have a few extra screws loose than they might have initially thought?

"Maybe they even hate us now because we got so crazed over one little text and--”

“Virgil. Not helping!” Thomas yelps, and Virgil catches himself in his spiel of worst case scenarios, looking a bit sheepish. Patton and Thomas smile at him reassuringly (he hopes) and Logan clears his throat, causing everyone to turn to him.

“Well, Joan seems to be aware enough of the fact that you speak to us, but mostly considers it as you, as they had said, ‘talking to yourself’, and besides, you didn’t name-drop us too many times, anyways. And while it’s not really...ideal, that Joan thinks you talk to yourself for this long-”

“You can say that again, Stephen Hawk-Nerd”, murmured Roman. Logan winces, and Thomas kind of wants to hug him, so he does.

“Yes, Roman, and as bad as that nickname is, note that this is not, in fact a worst-case scenario. This can be put down to the fact that Thomas has some strange personality quirks-”

“Did you just do some wordplay there, kiddo?” Patton beams at the implication, while Logan, currently being shared by Thomas and Virgil, just groans and descends further into the contact.

“No, I did not, Patton, but what I am saying, is that this is not too bad. We can talk about it as a general personality quirk. This is fine.” Logan finishes, and becomes a heap in the total hug-pile of Thomas and Virgil, flopping over. Huh, he (as usual) has a point. Maybe this can work.

The second time was a pretty near miss, but once again, it was unexpected! He and the sides were just watching Mulan together as usual! They were piled up together, blankets in hand, and yeah, it might look weird to anyone who can’t see the sides, he guesses, with the blankets stretched out in places that have nothing to stretch onto, but once again, he wasn't expecting someone to come over! But anyways- whatever happens, happens. He's trying to be better about it.

It really doesn't stop Janus from pulling out all the stops (teaming up with Virgil, even!) when it comes to having to come up with an alibi to Terrence over why the blankets are arranged so strangely, even though there is literally nothing keeping it afloat. In the end, it's not the most believable lie, but Terrence is busy with Valerie just after, so he probably doesn't really think about it too hard. Besides, Thomas has always been a pretty quirky guy! ("Which could be an insul--" "Jack and Sullen, we love you very very much, but please, for the love of all things Disney, please breathe and take out your fidget cube..") So hey, what was a new quirk when added to everything else?

Meanwhile, Terrence is trying to figure out what the fuck he just saw, because he's pretty sure that there were more than one Thomas there, and Thomas only has two other brothers. Also none of them dress like twenties mobsters or are semi-transparent.

Nico was having a good day. In fact, he still is!

He and his (amazing) boyfriend were sitting on the couch- though more draped on top of each other than anything while binge watching ELITE and Tiny Pretty Things, while also being pleasantly high (as opposed to stoned).

Things only entered strange territory when during one of the flashback murder-y scenes in Tiny pretty Things, a strange man who looked like an even more chaotic Thomas with some grey hair on him entered the room from seemingly nowhere, and proceeded to occupy the sparse space on Thomas’s lap with his head, essntially just napping on his boyfriend’s lap while also being kind of see-through (???!!!???AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH). Thomas noticed, waved a small wave and started playing with this weird guy’s hair.

Nico is now a little high from the bong that he and Thomas had shared, but not enough to hallucinate, especially since, when the high was pretty much gone, the guy was STILL THERE. MIERDA. At this point, he’s just going to call it ghosts. Thomas doesn’t seem to mind too much anyways, so they must not be harmful. Nico decides to table this for another day and go back to binge watching crazy maniacs with his very soft and warm boyfriend, and let the remainder of the high coast along.

"We have to talk about the Thomas thing." Is the first thing Joan says without any bullshit, as soon as everyone except Thomas himself, Gavin (because it's two AM) and Quil are packed together in Thomas's living room, where he just binged Parks and Rec with everyone. They've all finally managed to shove Thomas and Quil back to their respective areas of sleep after 42 hours without said sleep, and nobody was allowed to talk loud enough for them to wake up.

"The… Thomas thing?" Asks Valerie. Oh that sweet summer child. Joan once again quietly calls everyone's attention by asking Talyn to shake their hair around like a neon-coloured alarm bell. This was especially effective in the otherwise dark kitchen where they were trying out glow in the dark hair dye.

"Well, as of lately, we've been seeing a lot, and I mean a lot of really weird shit coming from Thomas. Everyone, recount your experiences." Joan says in the most serious voice they've got. "I'll go first."

They wave their hands like Matt Mercer, as if they were setting up a dope DND campaign. Quietly, of course.

"Well, about a month ago now, I was cleaning here, at Thomas's, because I was sleep-deprived and would have crashed and died if I'd tried to go back to mine and Talyn's. So most of the night goes normally, as one would expect, but when I wake up in the morning…" Joan readjusts their beanie. "I hear Thomas in the living room, talking to people called Logan, Roman, someone called Pat, Virgil and 'deceit'. And this debate becomes an ordeal, alright? He re-enacts a whole entire ace-attorney style courtroom scene with these imaginary people? I called him out on it over the phone when he apologized for some random thing- I don't remember, and he kind of just… admitted that he talks to himself? And moved on.

Everyone absorbs this new information. Camden keeps braiding Talyn's hair.

"But that's not too big of a deal, right Joan?" Whispers Camden, tying up the elaborate mini fishtail plait in Talyn's hair. "I mean, thanks Thomas we're talking about. He could have been rehearsing or something- isn't he JD in the next production of Heathers?"

Terrence speaks up next. "Yes, this would have been all well and good, had the Blanket Incident ™ not occured."

Valerie shakes her head. Why are her friends like this? Oh wait. They’re all theatre nerds, queer and D&D players.

"In the blanket incident ™, I was walking past Thomas's room, as one does. HOWEVER, while he was watching Mulan, I noticed something wrong with his blanket pile!"

"What, that they don't have any Vetal Miking references on them? Because that's the true tragedy here."

"Nope, sorry Tal, the weirdness here was not about Vetal Miking references, but the fact that parts of the blanket were freaking floating, in thin air! I have discreet pictures!"

"What the fuck, Terrence." whispered everyone in a strange, haunting unison that could only be possible at two AM as they saw the very strange pictures.

"And that's not it!" Pipes up Talyn, who is now realising that they are very close to becoming too loud for 2 AM kitchen chats, and makes an effort to quiet down.

"At breakfast today, Thomas's waffles were making themselves- Thomas can't cook, y'all. And he can't even use is fucking waffle iron. And he was on the other side of the room! Talking to Quil!" After Quil left, he told the waffle creator to chill out because the stack was getting too tall!"

"Is this about Thomas's ghosts, guys?" Asks Nico, the new cute boyfriend and new theatre company writer as he plops down in Quil's usual spot. Nico's nice- everyone likes Nico except maybe Nico, to which, well, mood. ALSO- ghosts?!!

"Nico what the fuck do you mean by ghosts, you serial killer in training?"

"One, just because I have to write a serial killer in this new script and I'm enjoying it, it doesn't mean I'm gonna be a serial killer, you tonte. Two: yeah, the ghosts that follow him around and look just like him? They seem nice enough." At everyone's super unspoken request to elaborate, for fuck's sake, he takes the hint and does.

“Oh! So the first time I saw them, I was at the mall. You know, where Thomas and I met?” everyone nods, and Talyn readjusts their braces.

“So there was this guy in a hoodie- Virgil, as you said, and the Disney prince. Roman, I think. And they were just kind of… there? Roman was holding Virgil’s shoulder affectionately, and that’s about it. They were only really visible after about three or four hours of us talking, though.” Some of the people hum.

“Then, we were watching a movie and these two guys who also look a lot like Thomas just kind of lounged? On the couch? They were pretty faint, like if their brightness was decreased to about thirty percent in Photoshop.”

“Hey, same!” says Terrence.

“Yeah, so those guys- the one in the green t-shirt that has the legs on the bus meme- so weird- kind of just stretches onto Thomas’s lap and stays there, while the twenties mobster just… curls up to his side? And thomas is probably like, used to this because he kind of just lets it be and curls the meme shirt-”

“I think it’s Remus.”

“-Remus’s hair absentmindedly and moves on.”

“Fuck.” Whispered Joan very softly, but with great feeling.

“So what do we do about it?” asks Camden. There, finally, someone asks the real questions.

“Well,” puts forward Talyn. “They’re not harming him, right? And he’s had them around for a long enough time, right? So what’s the harm? Thomas is just haunted and will probably be on Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural at some point when he dies but hey, if he’s cool with it, we are too.”

Everyone seems to agree with that, and they’re in comfortable silence, until Valerie asks everyone to go the fuck to sleep, we’re still doing the Heather’s costume rehersals and Death Week starts in two days. With groans and cracked joints from Talyn, everyone hobbles off to their respective rooms in the duplex.

Meanwhile, a certain white-streaked side and his hoodied companion are listening through the wall, far away from what anyone can see, and they both visibly sigh in relief. That didn’t go too badly. The question remains: what do we do now?

“They KNOW????” exclaims Thomas, the next day in the (thankfully empty) breakroom, in between rehearsals- Candy Store is being run through and that means that everyone else is outside.

“Yes, Thomas, they know. Or they somewhat know, I suppose.”

“Yeah, because they think we’re-Thomas is being HAUNTED!!’

“Are you not haunted, then?” comes a voice, and Thomas turns around, forgetting to let the sides dissipate in his surprise. It’s Nico, with Talyn and Valerie close behind, who are clearly taking in the six other guys in the breakroom. Well, fuck. The cat’s out of the bag for good, he guesses.

“Could you get everyone else during lunch break? I’ll explain then.” Talyn nods and leaves with a smile, telling him that they’re not mad at him, while Nico asks, voice farther away “So are you haunted or not?”.

“So they’re… aspects of your personality that you’ve been able to manifest since you were a kid?” Camden asks, a bit disbelieving, even as Logan, Roman, Patton and Janus drape themselves over Thomas on one of the beanbags in the breakroom, filled with other nerdy gay young adults. Logan pushes up his glasses, ready to go on another tangent. Go wild, you funky little dude.

“Well yes, that’s exactly what we're saying. I myself am the embodiment of Logic- every fact that Thomas has ever learned, and his, and these are his words, not mine, ‘the only braincell’. He makes the air quotes to go with the expression, but is also smiling fondly.

“Classic Thomas.”

“Yes, Valerie, I am inclined to agree. However, this is not specific to Thomas. Other people can, in fact, do what Thomas is. Lilly Singh is one of them- the reason that she and Thomas are even friends is because in high school Thomas caught her talking to one of her sides in the art room.”

“So wait-- we can summon sides too?!” asks Nico, and he and Camden look genuinely excited, but Thomas knows the answer to that question.

“Unfortunately no, not really. You have to have an extremely active imagination, and also be ‘innocent’, as society would put it. I’d say näive.”

“For example, I couldn’t make any more sides after i was fourteen, because I watched the news by then.” pipes in Thomas. Joan seems to process this first, nodding and grinning sardonically. “Ah yes, the news. Wrecking childhoods since forever.” everyone nods in gay syncing, because gay minds think at the same time.

Valerie suddenly speaks up; “So how many sides do you have, Thomas?”

Thomas perks up, because his sides are possibly his favourite metaphysical beings (as narcissistic as that might sound) “I have six! My logic, morality, both creativities- Kids and Family and PG13-and-up, anxiety and deceit! I have two creativities because of catholic guilt and my mind’s inherent need to cause chaos, I guess.”

“Valid�� replied Valerie.

The rest of break passed by pretty smoothly, with questions being passed back-and-forth about what the sides truly were, considering they clearly were not just Thomas, and Virgil even felt okay enough to come in later! So that was good. Though he kind of wishes Remus had made fewer Heathers jokes- Camden was starting to look squeamish, even as Nico frantically took notes of gorey facts to use in his script.

Honestly, Thomas thought to himself. What was I scared of?

Irrational things. And rejection, replies Virgil in his head. He laughs and pulls him in for a hug, and tries as he might to deny it, Virgil is looking pretty chuffed.

Hello it is I again and I love your stuff so I am asking for a request of some Legion (Frank) and Wraith headcannons with a S/O (separately)? (Sfw or nsfw I don’t mind either), I love them so much and would love to see some headcannons with em? 🥺

(No problem Boblem!!)

Frank:

- He is an angsty dumbo but he’s witty and fun.

- super down for everything ever. Want to go explore abandoned buildings? Sure! Break into your ex’s house and prank them? Fuck yeah sounds like a great time. Sneak into a movie? Psh, he could do that in his sleep.

- He is so chill with his s/o. Like, with anyone else he is all tough and rude/mean (except for the legion gang), but with you he’s just a chill blob who likes to watch super hero movies and Pirates if The Carribean.

- He is always hungry. Always. He is a walking food disposal like- you don’t think you can finish your food or snack? He’ll eat it. He’ll always at least steal one chip when you are eating them. He’ll only not grab your snacks if you are angry or feeling bad. Then he’ll even lend you his snacks.

- Talking about snacks this man has an emporium. The freezer is filled to the brim with ice cream, and there is a ramen noodle and chips cupboard.

- He eats raw ramen blocks please stop him and make him cook them please.

Wraith:

- Sweet baby boy!! I love him.

- Literally nicest person ever. He spends all of his free time with you.

- He is always ready with blankets and soda pop and Disney movies.

- I cannot tell you how many times you two have watched Princess and The Frog (my favorite Disney princess is Tiana btw) and The Mandolorian.

- He is a star wars fan, surprisingly. He loves that even with how much injustice there is in that world, karma still eats their asses.

- He doesn’t really love any movies dealing with mafia. Like please don’t remind him of his past trying to avoid that please. John Wick is off the movie list and so is The Godfather.

- He is kind of on the cooler side of things and so cuddling up with him is never too hot.

- Head Smooches!!!

- Bing Bong that’s the bell of “I love you!”

The Manticore Tavern becoming an attraction?

The other day I brought up an idea to make an Onward themed attraction at Pixar Pier, or Disney parks in general. The idea was basically make s dark ride where we visit Ian and Barley's world, or resurect the Beastly Kingdom concept, but with a coat of Onward paint.

But I was inspired by an existing attraction at Pixar Pier, inspired by my favorite Pixar film Inside Out.

Actually, Inside Out has two themed attractions. The first is a flat ride called Emotional Whirlwind.

Emotional Whirlwind is a swing style ride, but the best part is the aesthetics. The setting is designed to look like Headquarters, complete with statues of the emotions, and memory shelves that give a vibrant night ride! The best part is there's five special audio tracks, each designed for each emotion, with new voice lines by the actors reprising their roles, and composer Michael Giaccino writing five new Inside Out themed pieces of music! It's a unique concept that makes each ride a little different and memorable. Fun facts about this ride: it's a reskin of a previously existing ride themed to the movie A Bug's Life, and the statues of the emotions appear to be at the canon height as told by the director Pete Doctor.

Now, I'm not sure what Onward themed flat ride could be inspired by this concept, but that's not the attraction that we should be discussing, but the other one. There is another attraction that is a sweets themed confectionery and gift shop called Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff.

Not only a store themed to everyone's favorite imaginary friend, the store also sells a variety of Inside Out themed slushies, each with adorable names such as the Anxious and Delicious, so much sugar and bright colors that one is literally a rainbow, and an Anger themed one with enough spices and hot cinnamon that it actually burns you while you get brain freeze.

Now Onward doesn't have that much to give it a sweet themed sweets shop, but it does have an actual restaurant that already has enough ground work in the film. So, yes, why not bring the Manticore's Tavern to Pixar Pier!

The restaurant will look more inviting on the outside, and just like it does in the movie on the inside. The imagineers will dress in wizard robes and knight armor, and there will be themed dishes such as Mannachos and Kraken Kracklings. As well as a stage for karaoke, there will be random shows for magic. And along with the Manticore mascot, other mascot characters will visit at random, such as Ian, Barley, and the actual Manticore.

Unlike the dark ride/Beastly Kingdom idea, which I see having a few issues such as popularity and cost, I can see Manticore's Tavern being a big hit! Not only an attraction for Onward and Pixar fans, but a restaurant to feed visitors, give them a place to rest, as well as shade them from the sun. I don't know what restaurants, if any, exist at Pixar Pier (and I don't count Bing Bong's asits a candy store), but it shouldn't be that difficult to build one or reskin an existing one.

One last nite is there's technically a third Inside Out attraction. This one gets an honorable mention because it's short lived and pretty darn creative. Back in 2015 when Inside Out was in theaters, the film got a pre-parade. While the parade before a parade sounds stupid, this Inside Out float was worth it. It was a float designed to look like Headquarters, with very impressive animatronics of the emotions, and the emotions discussing Riley's day at Disneyland. And for good measure, imagineers dressed as mind workers led and trailed behind the float while playing with memory orbs.

I don't see Ian and Barley getting their own pre-parade, but I can see them standing on their own float, most likely a float looking like Guinevere, in a Disneyland parade. And the thought of Ian and Barley walking around Disneyland and discussing what to do next, in a similar manner as the emotions, just seems pretty darn cute.

Miyuki felt awful.. she really did like Kazuichi. He was a sweetheart, and she felt awful about rejecting him. She just hoped he wouldn't hate her forever..

As soon as Sonia entered the building she winked at Kazuichi and got up. "Hey Sonia! I thought maybe Kazuichi could come with us today, he said he'd be more than happy to help out." She said, all the girls seemed to enjoy that idea.

Sonia beamed. "Oh yes! That is a marvelous idea!" She ran over and hugged Miyuki and smiled at Kazuichi. "You are indeed a true gentleman, Kazuichi. If Miyuki says so, I trust her instincts!"

Miyuki looked fairly uncomfortable as she attempted to push Sonia off. "Y-Yeah, so.. me and Kazuichi will head to the beach house to set stuff up okay?" She hopped off the stool and took his wrist, dragging him out of the diner.

She let go pretty soon after and headed to the beach house with a smile. "See? I told you, Sonia takes my advice seriously. I'll do my best for you Kaz, as an apology for what I did."

Miyuki attempted to push open the door. "Huh?... It's stuck?" She walked around to the main door, noticing the footprints but she ignored them as she pushed open the doors...

And there .. laid Mahiru's body.

*DING DONG BING BONG!*

"A body has been discovered!"

Miyuki dropped to her knees as she stared at yet another body of her friends.. "Not again... No.. no no no no no!!!" She started to sob, just a few moments ago... Everything was fine... And now... This shit again.

"Alright, awesome! Thank you so much Miss Sonia!"

Score! He thought. He never thought he'd get a chance like this, much less be accepted. There was no way he was turning it down.

After that exchange, they headed to the beach house. Even though he'd just been rejected, he felt a lot more happy at his new situation. He was almost starting to forget that they were in a killing game. This felt like a vacation! Hot sun, good food, hot girls. What more could he ask for?

Well, that's what he had said, but when they stepped into the beach house...

"W-Wha-"

"What the hell!" Kazuichi screamed as soon as they entered the beach house. Mahiru, the sweet photography girl, now lay dead and slumped against the door, surrounded by blood. No..! No way! There was no way she was really dead!

Kazuichi rushed up to her, shaking her body and obviously, getting no response. No movement, not even a twitch.

"T-There's no way..."

He sobbed, finally accepting it extremely reluctantly and stepping shakily back to where Miyuki was crouched. Her face looked as horrified as he was sure his own was. He crouched beside her and made his best effort to comfort her by putting a hand on her back, own face still fallen in shock.

Bit by bit, people rushed in after hearing the body discovery announcement. Kazuichi wiped away his tears and tried to stand up, still shaking. Everyone reacted in similar horror when they saw it. I mean... Even after seeing it once, seeing a dead person isn't something you can just get used to!

Wake Up, Lupin (pt. 1)

Most days, it doesn't matter what time Lupin casts the spell.

But today is Thursday, and therefore, it matters.

Ding a ling a ling, says the first alarm. Ugh. That means it's 6 o'clock. Two hours til work, one hour til portal time.

Lupin goes back to sleep.

Bing bong, says the second alarm. Ugh. Six thirty.

Wake up, Lupin. Now. Says the third alarm. Okay, the first two didn't actually SAY what they said, it was onomatopaiea. Sounds that they made translated into words. But this one actually talks.

"Uh. Portal day."

The alarm clock does not respond. It only knows how to say that one thing, repeatedly, in its tinny little voice.

"Wake up, Lupin. Now."

"Fine! Ugh. Fine. Okay. Get up, Lupin." She rolls out of bed. At least it's warm.

---

"Ugh. Why is it always so warm here."

Lupin draws the final stroke of chalk to complete the circle, and before she can even look up, there is a flash of light.

"Hello, Lupin. It's been a while."

"It's been a week." Her handler's enthusiasm at this time of morning was routinely offensive.

He steps forward out of the teleportation circle, places the supply chest on the sideboard, and makes a show of brushing the dust of the conjuring chalk from his otherwise immaculate coat. "It has! I do hope things are going well with you."

Lupin yawns and stretches. "Not bad. Work is fine. Y'know, hammering steel. Over and over."

"But you are getting plenty of practise with those elementals."

"Well, yeah, it's what I do like literally all day, so yes."

"I am glad. I take it they are co-operative."

Portal successfully cast on time, Lupin has retreated to the kitchen. She is making toast. "They're okay. I mean, some more than others, some of them are rude. Some of them are lazy. But most of them are nice. And some of them are really funny."

"I actually kind of envy you. The air realm boundary here is so thin. You're really getting the best of it. It's a wonderful assignment."

"Rui, I've been here for a year. It's getting pretty boring. And why do you always have to visit so early?"

Ruiprouice Frouce sighed. "I know. It is a long time. But we all do it. And, as you know I have a lot of people to visit. This is how I like to start my Thursdays."

She cracks some eggs into the pan and smiles at him over her shoulder. "You're sweet.” From nowhere, a wooden stirrer coalesces in her hand and she prods at the sizzling eggs. “Okay, look, I know. Rite of passage as a conjurer, blah blah. I get that, and I'm grateful for the chance. But, Pelor, am I ever ready to move on."

"Yes, Lupin." Closest thing Lupin ever had to an uncle, but he never used her nicknames. "Just one more week."

Lupin sighed. "Yes. Just one more week. Have you had breakfast?"

---

Felton Blacksand sighed, stroking his long beard and looking at the chrono dial. "Where, oh where, is Lupin."

"I'm here!" hollered Lupin, her attempt at sneaking into the office foiled by her big mouth and scrabbling feet. "I'm sorry."

"It's Thursday, already?"

"Sure is! So, what needs doing?" she inquires as she catches her breath, coils up her two long braids, and stuffs them into her beret.

Felton sighed. Not that he'd been paying close attention, but he knew the year was almost up. When he'd gotten the letter from the conjurers’ guild - sorry, the Guild of Conjurers and Summoners - he hadn't expected much, a bookish nerd maybe? Certainly not someone so talented in the trade as well as the craft. The thought of Lupin moving on was heavy on his mind.

"Crew two is on the Hammer, so they'll probably need you to help get them started. Third crew is in the mines, so Pelor willing they won't need much attention, but crew four is on the mechanisms so they'll definitely need your support. And crew five is,” he consults his clipboard, “smelting, so they may need some fires put out."

"Put out? Come on." She shimmies indignantly into her company-issue grease-spattered overalls. Frowning as she spots a couple of small tears, she jabs at them with a finger and they mend instantly.

"Loops. We're training your replacements. Give them some space to make mistakes."

Lupin was losing track of the number of sighs today. Plus one. "Can I at least stoke some fire tomorrow?"

"Sure, as long as they learn a lot today."

Lupin rolled her eyes. "Thanks, I guess."

"Crew one is on bucket detail, so keep an ear on them. They're not exactly fast."

"True, that. Anything else? Roll on end of shift, right?"

"Roll on. Don't forget to eat lunch."

"Thanks, boss." Lupin left.

---

It hadn't been an eventful shift. The air elementals had been compliant, mostly, but she'd had to talk down to a fairly large firey, and he almost didn't accept her bluster. She knew the protocol for that situation - contain with a magic circle, call for the water squad - but she was proud of the fact that she hadn't had to do that in a bit over six months. She could usually get them to listen to reason, which helped a lot since her physical stature would hardly be described as intimidating. Not that she didn’t have a few other tricks up her sleeve if it really came down to it.

Anyway. The shift was over, and Lupin was heading home. The viewing platform was on the way - about the closest thing this charming hamlet had to a tourist attraction - and hey, the Hammer in action was always a sight to see after walking up that big darn hill on her short gnome legs, so Lupin often stopped there.

Today was different, though. It was Wednesday; nearly a week had passed since Rui's last visit, and tomorrow was the big day. It was tradition in the guild to time the final day of casting with a visit, do a bit of a ceremony and whatnot, and that was tomorrow.

But more immediately, today there were some actual tourists.

A bunch of weirdoes, actually, thought Lupin as she approached the platform. In a good way, an interesting way, and certainly something she hadn't seen in a while. An elf lady with a fancy-looking bow strapped to her back. A tall human man with rippling muscles and a giant sword. A robed monk, a little girl, a birdman. A lizardy guy. Lizardy? No, more dragon-y. And a peculiar boy, not so much taller than Lupin, humanish but for the pointy, swept-back horns atop his head. Lupin somehow has an impulse to just run forward and hug him.

She suppressed it, barely, and instead sidled up to the group just as the dragony man was leaving. Adventurers? What were they doing here? "Hi! I'm Lupin!" She thrust her hand out in the vague direction of the boy with the horns.

---

It seemed like the boy with the horns had a lot on his mind, but that was okay, because Lupin loved talking about her work, and had been doing so incessantly. "And then, right? We put the molten slug on the anvil. And then, the hammer smashes it flat! So flat. Keeping that hammer working is basically my day job. You know, just the other day..."

Fancy bow lady interrupts her. "So, you work here, then?"

Lupin stops. Was that sarcasm? She wasn't used to that, around here.

"Yes, I do! So where are you guys from?" Funny how the fatigue of a whole shift in the steelworks could be erased with a little bit of chitchat.

---

It turned out they were new in town, just passing through really, and looking for somewhere to eat, drink and sleep. Lupin knew just the place - and what a coincidence, was going that way. Even if she weren't, she would have said she was. She'd learned some names, including the horn-headed fella, Russell. Walking next to him, she felt like he was in need of some cheering up.

"Hey, do you like animals?"

Russell immediately perks up. "Yes! I love animals."

"Oh, well." Lupin clasps her hands together, and then opens them a crack. A tiny nose peeks out, whiskers twitching as it samples the air, followed by the face and long body of a silky white ermine, which scurries up Lupin's arm and perches on her shoulder, looking intently at Russell.

"Russell, this is Snickers."

Russell is agog. "What.. how.. did you just.. summon that?"

"Her. And yes. Well, no. Well, she's always around, just not always in material form. I think she likes you."

Lupin bumps her shoulder into Russell's and Snickers scuttles across, disappearing up Russell's sleeve and, a moment later, poking her fuzzy face out of the neck of his armour.

Russell's excited grin has turned into barely contained paroxysms of laughter. "That.. tickles!!", he exclaims between gasps of air. "Oh yes indeed," says Lupin, "this is definitely her tickliest form. Sometimes she's a cat, sometimes a rat, we didn't really like her as a snake, but birds are a lot of fun. Though, not as cuddly."

Snickers has wriggled free of Russell's armour and parked herself on his shoulder, busying herself with nuzzling him incessantly. Accordingly, Russell has regained the power of speech. "She can change forms?”, he asks, returning the affection. “Like, whenever?"

"Oh, well it takes a little bit of doing. We have to cast a spell for it, which needs some fancy ingredients, so it's a bit of a special occasion when we do, you know?"

Russell is impressed. "That is so, so cool."

Lupin blushes a little. Finding a familiar is among the most basic of basic conjuration, but it’s nice that he's impressed. And it’s nice to be chatting to someone who doesn’t tower over her. "You think that's cool? You should see what I do for a living." She starts into telling him all about a day in the life of an elemental wrangler as they walk on.

---

"So, this guild has had you living here for a year, casting the same spell every day, over and over, to - set up a portal?"

Sitting around an assortment of tables, the adventurers are exercising their elbow muscles hefting tankards of excellent ale. Blacksand's Brewery is crowded, as always after the end of a shift at the 'works, with dwarves, gnomes, and humans, far too many of whom Lupin knows by name. The elder of the Blacksand brothers, Beren, tends bar, and waitstaff sashay busily amongst the tables.

"Yep, that's right. It'll facilitate travel and trade and blah blah blah. And it'll mean I've concluded this stage of my service to the Guild, so I'll be presented with a shiny new badge and make a bunch of people real proud, but best of all, I won't have to stay in this boring excuse for a town anymore."

"Oh come on, it's not so bad. This place is nice. And the hammer is really cool!"

"Yeah, so cool! So much going on here! And I get to hear the clanging all day every day from up close AND far away!" Lupin is thrilled to be using sarcasm again. She makes a show of counting on her fingers. "You've seen the Hammer, you're eating at Blacksand's, and you've met me. I think that about covers the highlights of the Praak experience."

She pauses to sip her ale. "I will not miss this place. I will miss some of the people, though." She looks around at the interior of the Brewery. "And, well, I might miss this place. But Praak generally? I don't think so. I don't exactly have a plan yet, but I'm sure looking out for an excuse to leave." A smiling waitress deposits several plates of delicious-smelling food on the table, and Lupin nods in acknowledgement, suddenly feeling a twinge of guilt for badmouthing the small town. She picks up the smallest plate, containing a boiled egg and small cubes of various cheeses, and sets it to one side. Snickers goes straight for it and gets to nibbling.

"But you have to finish this portal first, right?"

"Oh, yes, well, that's happening tomorrow."

Russell's eyebrows raise precipitously.

"Tomorrow! And you said there's going to be a ceremony?" Had she said that? She wasn't sure, but the thoughtful look on Russell's face stilled her tongue. "Do you know anyone who could transport someone between planes? That's a conjurer thing, right?"

Lupin hesitates, unsure of what is happening. "Well - that's something I'm studying towards, but yes, I suppose I do know some people. And yes," she anticipates his next question, "it is possible some of them might be here tomorrow."

"Huh," says Russell, his eyebrows returning to their typical stance as he grabs a chicken leg and leans back in his chair. "Gaalin will want to meet you."

"Who's Gaalin?", says Lupin.

[ushidoux]

Congratulations on 400!!! You deserve it 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for helping me get into Haikyuu 💖

1 and 2 are based on what my fiance said to me:

1. I'm very caring and empathetic

2. "When you're hungry, you lose your shit." In other words, while I am normally quiet and calm, when I am uncomfortable, I lose some control over my emotions.

3. Make You Feel My Love by Adele and Where The Hood At by DMX 😂

4.

Expressive: Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch

Receptive: Quality Time and Physical Touch

5. Tendou Satori!

Hiiii, thanks so much!! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so far!! 

---

Traits:

Ooh, I find it interesting that you reverted to your partner to help you with deciding on your traits. That tells me a lot about you valuing trust in your partner and being seen in a relationship, on top of being caring and empathetic. I expect a lot of softness and mutual nurturing in your relationships and it must be the sweetest thing to watch.

Being grumpy when hungry is typical, but I find it fascinating that you translate that to a greater meaning of having some difficulty with discomfort or with emotional control. I think it supports the idea that you’re a very feeling type of person, you're very aware of your own emotions, and they ebb and flow like water, sometimes calming, sometimes a troubled stream, sometimes the downpour of a storm~

Gestalt about Love:

Make You Feel My Love shows, again, that you are a very soft, empathetic person in a relationship. There’s lots of insistence on your partner receiving your feelings and your efforts and all of your love and care, and it is oh so sweet. You’re willing to sacrifice anything if it would keep your loved one safe, because that’s what you value in a relationship - that self-sacrifice, that willingness to wake up in the morning and continue to pour yourself into each other’s cups. Ajkldsfj;asd Ahhh this makes me soft hahaha.

I’m here for the appreciation of DMX hahaha. Having Where the Hood At as your song on repeat is to remind everyone that even though you’re soft, you’re not to be played with and you can be hype and angry and all that good stuff, I love it!! Even if you’re soft and calm most of the time, you are absolutely down to wake up in the middle of the night and start screaming and jumping on tables with your partner, if that’s what the mood calls for.

Love Languages: 

I find it interesting that while you show your love through words, words don’t affirm you as much in a relationship, but you agree on physical touch. I wonder if this shows just a little bit of hesitation with believing one’s words. You are more of a show, don’t say type of person and I wonder if it’s related to having been hurt before or not. It gives me the suggestion of a very careful lover at the start, but one who is wholeheartedly involved once you’ve cleared the trust.

Calculating...

Bing-bong: You get Asahi Azumane!

Why: 

Asahi is sweet and as cute as can be. He’s very warm and I imagine that he can be very affectionate when he gets comfortable, and will absolutely be supported by your caring and supportive words.

How you meet:

I expect you meet at a coffee shop or at a library where you both frequent for various, unrelated reasons. You notice that Asahi ever so often glances at you, and he’s too shy to approach you, but you notice every time he shows up, his seat inches closer and closer to your usual seat until you’re just a table apart, and eventually you smile and introduce yourself to save him from his own misery. From there, you settle into quiet meetings and get to know each other, until eventually he has the courage to ask you out properly. 

How you fall apart:

Asahi and you seem like you would get along very well long-term since you’re both creatures of calm and comfort but somehow the energy feels wrong. Asahi needs your words of affirmation more than he should, and you may need quality time more than you should, and there is an improper balance between you two. He also doesn’t fare well when your emotions switch; he’s not as able to get as wild as you are or to ground you back to earth. He’s only able to manage the bubbling brook or the quiet stream of your emotions but the storms overwhelm him. 

You start to feel like you’re pouring just too much into him, and eventually you decide you’ve had enough.

Ha! I feel like your K-drama choices are waaaaaay more refined than mine, but could you pretty please recommend 5 (if you have any more than that PLEASE) k-dramas that are similar to Strong Woman Bong Soon, Extraordinary You or My ID is Gangnam Beauty :3

“waaaaaay more refined” - I feel like such a high class lady 😍

Sure! I can recommend a few that you might like! Seems like you enjoy youthful romance, friendships and maybe a little fantasy? I have no idea what else you’ve watched but try these:

Age of Youth / Hello My Twenties: A group of ladies share an apartment. Friendship, strong lady characters, a bit of romance. This is an easy binge.

Fight For My Way: I’ll literally always recommend this one as it’s one of my favorites AND it’s friendship, slice-of-life, and has an amazing romance. Show me someone who didn’t like this drama. No really, is there anyone out there??

Thirty But Seventeen: I’m kinda going out on a limb with this one simply because it’s not really like the three you mentioned - it has a bit more melo elements. I just have a feeling you might like the soft romance, supportive friendships, found family and some of the silly kdrama nonsense.

The Best Hit/ Hit The Top: A romantic comedy featuring an old kpop legend who travels forward in time by accident and finds himself living with his son who is his same age! It’s fun and pretty light, plus the whole kpop angle makes it really interesting. 

Ho Goo’s Love / Fool’s Love (you have to watch this on an illegal streaming service though): This is an underrated drama! An adorable naive puppy-like boy falls in love with a strong female athlete who has an unwanted pregnancy. This drama deals with sexual harassment, LGBT stuff (!!!), and rape. BUT it also handles the story in a really light-hearted and sweet way that’ll get you hooked. The scenes with Ho Goo and the baby are everything. Must Watch.

Because This Is My First Life: This is one of my favorite dramas, partly because of it’s well-developed female characters. The girls aren’t roomies but the show follows the lives and loves of all three. Also, shout out to my Feminist Queen Soo Ji. If you’re mad at Lee Min Ki like I am (now - I had no idea when I watched this), you should skip it.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo: Coming of age rom com with great friendships and a lot of heartwarming bits. It’s a fan favorite and if you like strong woman, I’m pretty sure you’ll love this one.

And if you want something really refined (I’m seriously joking this show is hilariously trope-y), watch Shopping King Louis. You won’t regret it, it’s so much fun!
