#he's swapped with himeru

[xitty]

When it's like this you almost hope Kaname never wakes up. Oremeru (do you think we ever learn his real name?) has made it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Kaname to be HiMERU if he woke up. It was made clear Kaname is not very good at idol work and while they could write "a shounen manga story" where underdog rises to top ranks with hard work and power of friendship, I don't think it can go like it here. So, what's left? Heartbreak.

Oremeru admits he's doing it for himself and Kaname wouldn't probably want it but then he says "I'll create a place for you to belong". Umm, where exactly, Meru? He couldn't just swap with Oremeru, and besides, Crazy:B and others are friends with Oremeru, not Kaname (and as much as Meru has tried to stay unattached, he's not. As a sidenote, I find his and Kohaku's friendship very fun). This all is only soothing Meru's guilt but in doing so, he's created future hurt for everyone.

But for the drama's sake and to see Oremeru deal with the consequences of course we want to see Kaname wake up. I keep thinking that Kaname might remember what Tatsumi said to him; that even if Kaname took everything from Tatsumi, he'd forgive him (ah, Akira loves this concept, see: Tempest) and forgive Oremeru. But surely not immediately, what story that would even be.

Please give us the continuation to this.

Swap!Eccentrics' Origin cards!

[ s!War Era lore below cut <3 (keep in mind i haven't read Altered or the original stories, so this is all based off of Element & the few anime episodes)]

Ex Fine: > Tatsumi, Himeru, Mao, Rei

5 Eccentrics > Nagisa, Rinne, Mayoi, Leo, Sora

Bystanders (they're important i swear) > Tsumugi, Arashi

= = = = =

Trigger/Content Warnings: - Mentions of violence - Suicidal thoughts; mentioned/implied suicide attempt

= = = = =

In the beginning, the need of a reform in the school was both Himeru and Tatsumi's idea. Tatsumi was the one to actually attempt to do much about it though, roping Himeru, and later Mao and Rei into it. He ends up as leader of ex fine and the one to draft up the idea of the Eccentrics. Both Himeru and Mao were somewhat involved in that, like how c!Tsumugi was. The original 3 were supposed to be Nagisa, Rinne, and Leo.

Himeru was the one to suggest Sora.

Sora was... a bit of an outcast. He came into his first year and was pretty quickly alienated and was bullied by a lot of the students. He's found by Hinata later on. The two quickly become best friends and Hinata gets people to back off on bullying Sora. They form Ra*bits, one of the few units from the school at the time.

Sora was known to be good at what he does, just a little odd. Himeru chose him for that reason, although he wasn't aware of the bullying the kid had to deal with.

Mao suggests Mayoi, after accidentally finding the Secret Room.

Mayoi spent a lot of time in that room and Mao didn't even know he existed until then. He used the room as his little corner and it was full to the brim with stuff he made, particularly, outfits and dioramas. Mao was impressed, and he felt that Mayoi could probably be a good candidate.

= = =

The first Eccentrics meeting went... interesting. Rinne and Leo fought, Nagisa tried to mediate while trying to help the rather scared Sora and Mayoi. The two didn't stop bickering until they realized they made Sora cry and were like "oh shit."

They eventually warmed up to each other, though, becoming a bit of a family.

Most of them were unaware that they were about to be vilified by fine.

= = =

The first to go down was Sora. Well... technically Hinata.

As the student body got more hostile against the Eccentrics, they decided to target the person they were kind of already targeting before this whole thing. They saw the fact that pretty much no one was doing anything as confirmation that this was okay.

The Ra*bits duo were attacked in the hallways one day. Hinata was injured the most, Sora being pulled away by some of the other Eccentrics as they tried to stop the fighting. They succeeded, but too late. Hinata is later hospitalized and the Eccentrics learn he's in a coma.

Sora is distraught and basically pulls a Shu. He starts talking in 3rd person around here, as a way to distance "himself" from the person who was unable to save his best friend from the people who were after "him" originally.

= = =

Himeru and Rei are furious at Tatsumi for not stepping in before things go that bad. Himeru shouts at Tatsumi and breaking off their friendship. He blamed Tatsumi for being both the indirect cause of Hinata's hospitalization and the person encouraging the students to be this violent.

= = =

Mayoi is desperate to fix all of this and stop the harassment they're getting. He feels this whole thing is unjust. He pulls a Natsume, basically, as well as disappearing soon after Sora.

= = =

One of the people watching this whole thing unfold changes their opinions on the Eccentrics and Fine. Tsumugi, who had overheard Himeru and Tatsumi's argument, reaches out to the Eccentrics a little after the Incident, offering to help them.

Nagisa, figured out what Tatsumi was doing, tells Tsumugi it. At this point, the other Eccentrics are unaware, although Rinne and Leo are sort of suspicious about what Nagisa knows. Tsumugi ends up helping Sora and Mayoi as the chaos in the school gets worse around them.

= = =

The final battle against the Eccentrics and Fine happens, and Leo is chosen to be the one who fights against Fine. Nagisa tells him a week before all of this happens. Leo agrees to loose on purpose despite Rinne's protests. Mayoi shows up for the live, but Sora doesn't.

= = =

Going back to the beginning, Mao was originally intrigued when he learned about the three original Eccentrics. He brought up how he wasn't sure they would get along.

Nagisa was known to be a "god" of sorts and was highly respected. People knew about his connection to the Godfather and all.

Rinne was known as a clown, a person who was painted as "the eccentric outsider" when he first came to the school and have just been acting how people expect him to be.

Leo was known to be a genius composer and he was someone Mao admired a lot. Mao wasn't super sure about how this whole thing was going to go down, and he wasn't sure how he would feel about seeing Leo defeated. He didn't want to hurt him, but he felt like Leo could handle it, so he let it happen.

This leads up to the last live. Rei and Himeru are well ready to leave, but Mao is unsure. He's.. unaware he's being dismissed after that live. Leo gives Mao a little talk and enough confidence to get through that live.

Leo and his partner, Tsukasa, loose, and the War ends.

= = =

After the last live, Tatsumi is distraught. He pushed away Mao out of fear, feeling like what Himeru and Rei said were right and he doesn't feel deserving of a "hero" title some of the students have given him. He doesn't feel deserving of being student council leader. He doesn't feel deserving of being an idol.

He would've ended it all on that rooftop if Arashi hadn't been on there at the time and stopped him.

= = =

Arashi, another neutral bystander like Tsumugi was, had seen the whole thing unfold. She, originally, was against Fine after seeing what they let the student body do to Hinata. She later learns that, despite the rumors of the argument between Himeru and Tatsumi, it wasn't planned. They didn't want to do that, but Tatsumi was afraid that if he stopped them from doing whatever, the revolution wouldn't be successful.

She forgives Tatsumi for what he did and convinces him that he's worth something, still.

= = = = =

Other stuff:

Leo and Mao later find each other and start up Ryusetai

Arashi and Tatsumi are the original members of new Fine. Shu and Hajime join later on

Yuuta comes in the next year, posed at Hinata. Sora catches on almost instantly but they promised to make it work. Ra*bits is revived and gain two new members, Aira and Tori.

Because of Rei having been through the War, he's able to do more effective damage control when the Reimei revolt happens.

Himeru leaves to Reimei as well, later forming 2wink with Kaname

A bunch of the ages have been changed for this, uhhh I'm not really sure on many of them though lmao

Card shuffle / Episode 3

Author: Akira

Characters: Hiiro, Niki, HiMERU, Kohaku

"So we're the stepping stones, the sacrificial lambs."

← Previous ✧ Directory ✧ Next →

[ Read on my site for a better viewing experience using Ois~su ♪ ]

Season: Winter

Location: Café Cinnamon

At the same time, in the ES building, at the coffee shop Cinnamon.

Hiiro: Hello! I'm Hiiro Amagi and I'll be taking over as the leader of Crazy:B starting today!

Everyone, I'm looking forward to working with you!

Niki: Aah, Otouto-san, come in, come in~♪

Please grab a seat there and sit tight for a sec, I'll treat you to lunch as a welcome~♪

HiMERU: —Shiina seems strangely upbeat.

Kohaku: Even if it's just for now, I reckon he's glad to be freed from Rinne-han's tyranny.

HiMERU: That sentiment is understandable. However, considering the plan ES has proposed, it's hard to be entirely happy about it.

A showdown between Crazy:B and ALKALOID, an all-out war...

There's certainly some demand for a clash between the newcomers who gained most prominence in ES's inaugural year.

However, there are several concerns.

First of all, given the grandiose and flashy nature of this project, there's a risk that the public perception of us may be fixed to "that" in the future.

Kohaku: We might be endlessly stuck playin' the roles of the Crazy:B and ALKALOID who're always at each other's throats...

I ain't fond of that at all, it might make it hard to get involved with my buddy Rabu-han.

HiMERU: Right. And structurally, there's a high probability that Crazy:B are set to be the villains, the losers in this plan.

That's how wrestling works. The heroes triumph over the villains and bask in the applause.

Kohaku: So we're the stepping stones, the sacrificial lambs. If someone had to pick between ALKALOID and Crazy:B as the villains... Right?

I'm sure that as the project organizers, ES'd prefer to promote the so very well-behaved ALKALOID.

HiMERU: Yes. However, it would be unpleasant to be used as a mere stepping stone in such a way.

While we may not be saints, HiMERU refuses to be demonized as a villain just to further emphasize the righteous.

Kohaku: ...Well, yeah, I ain't fond of that either. I don't mean to be cold-hearted, but we've got no obligation to prop ALKALOID up like that.

I'd be willin' to be a stepping stone for someone I like, but bein' forced to do so for folks I've got nothin' to do with is a different story.

HiMERU: Indeed. Therefore, HiMERU has devised a plan.

In accordance with this project's script, the leaders of Crazy:B and ALKALOID will be temporarily swapped, correct?

Our leader will no longer be that embodiment of evil, Rinne Amagi, but his younger brother, who is clearly a good kid at a glance.

Kohaku: Uh-huuh, I've got it, HiMERU-han. A leader's like a banner, and if that banner's been swapped out for a more innocent-lookin' one—

HiMERU: Exactly. Our overall image could also be painted in a positive light. No, let's make it so.

Under a new leader, we will be born again as virtuous beings. At least, we'll make it look that way to the world.

Then, we'll become the allies of justice, using the "villainous ALKALOID" led by Amagi as our own stepping stones.

We will no longer be the miserable losers, but the shining protagonists.

Kohaku: That's an enticin' idea. Yeah, if that's the case, what we need—

Hiiro: ...? Um, is it okay if I say hello?

Kohaku: Of course ♪ C'mere, c'mere, Hiiro-han!

Hehe. Things got a bit weird, but let's all get along, yeah? ♪

HiMERU: Yes ♪ Oops, the chair's a bit dusty. Let HiMERU take care of it with his handkerchief—Wipe, wipe ♪

Kohaku: (...A tad too obvious, ain't it?)

HiMERU: (No, Amagi's younger brother seems to be a very straightforward person.)

(Those kinds tend to be somewhat obtuse, so it's best to be overly blatant in displays of goodwill.)

Kohaku: (Ah, so by playin' nice llike this, Hiiro-han'll get motivated. And he might even be determined to do his best for us in Matrix.)

HiMERU: (Exactly. And so, by brilliantly defeating the ALKALOID led by Amagi, who seems blatantly unwilling to do so—we, Crazy:B, will emerge victorious in this project.)

HiMERU: (The victors are justice! Thus, we will become not miserable losers, but the winners who garner applause!)

Kohaku: (Feels a bit uncomfortable deceivin' such a genuinely good kid. But this is a real competition—ain't nothin' sinister 'bout it, so no one can call it cowardly~ Koh koh koh ♪)

[princess--bongwater]

ur swap au is so cool! could you explain more abt your crazy b group?

my eyes justlike lit up in real life OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!

the lineup for the swap bees is rinne -> koga, niki -> mika, himeru -> ibara, and kohaku -> yuzuru!!!!

ibara and yuzuru are the ones that take the place of the rinniki apartment sharing thing because they escaped from the military camp together when they were preteens I thibk? listen to comfort zone by ferry and imagine dima as yuzuru and kt as ibara for me. point is there's a lot of animosity and tension despite relying on each other for survival.

speaking of yuzuru he and tori (aira -> tori) don't get along. he doesn't like the himemiyas and while in another life they'd be closer than ever he can't really stand to look at her for too long because it reminds him of the military camp. the kohaai bond is fulfilled by midori (mayoi -> midori) instead of tori

ibara is jist full of issues. The reimei stuff still happened but kaname is like, fine. he lives witj himeru (ibara -> himeru) and just isn't an idol anymore. we (me mimi and erin) haven't figured out how the tatsuhime tension will work in this au yet because tatsumi -> tsumugi but we'll get it eventually! another fun swap ibara fact he is failing at the stock market

I don't have much for mika actually. we know that he and koga are super close but we don't have much of anything for him. the ibyz horrors go too hard for us to think about the silly guy

koga!!!!! we know that he and hokke (hiiro -> hokuto) have some childhood friend shit going on that ended in a reslly messy falling out when hokke left the country pre-! era but that's kinda it.

tldr ibyz horrors is distracting us from really figuring out kgmk but we know that they're cute and probably hold hands. I was shaking violently writing this btw I have enswap elitism disease

[mihai-florescu]

Ahh hello!!! If you wouldnt mind my asking, whats the alkakurei story like so far...? Twitter seems to be broken i cant open the livetweet thread

Hi! I didnt personally google translate as i sometimes do so my knowledge comes from a livetweet thread, for transparency. Only 16 chapters are out so far, we follow through with the swapping of leaders to make an alkaloid vs crazyb competition more interesting. We also have like 10 rounds, i think we only saw the first one so far (which is in the style of a dreamfes and crazyb wins, hiiro tricks alkaloid and then rinne tricks all of them but i'll need a proper tl to understand what exactly happened).

This entire event is organized by a new producer who sucks and himeru wants to beat him up sooo badly. We get moments such as mayoi calling rinne onii san and rinne being like huh why are you calling me that, oh but if it was aira it'd be fine cuz im gonna be her brother in law. And aira wants to beat him up sooo badly. I hope by the end aira and himeru bond and get to beat someone up together. Anyway, it was mostly exposition, but the first half ends with the cringefail producer proposing "ES is boring so lets hold the rest of the competition in the Amagi village" to be continued...

Overall there seems to be fun banter and is quite lighthearted so far but im wary of a "calm before the storm" situation... oh right himeru thinks hes suuuch a mastermind and mentions kaname in an internal monologue. Im scared. But it's a fun event^^ yet im scared especially for how they'll portray the village...

[averyspoopedcorgi]

Corgiiiii I saw your Matrix furry art which prompted me to think so rambling here since it's your fault

Imagine if the event had been about Kaname waking up and how the two Units deal with that all while their leaders are swapped, the pressure on the Amagis to handle the conflict in the Units that aren't even their own just so their brother will still have a safe place to return to

Tatsumi learning the truth about what happened to Kaname and getting immense guilt+spiraling bad, Mayoi panicking because Tatsumi who is Alkaloid's anchor is having a breakdown plus Rinne out of all people seeing them in that state, Aira also trying desperately to help but they keep underestimating him for being younger

Meanwhile with the Bees, HiMERU is the one having an existencial crisis now because Kaname woke up, he fulfilled his duty...what now ? Will the Bees still accept him ? Should he hand it down for Kaname ? What about the public ? The gossips ? Kohaku is hurt for HiMERU hiding such secret but it's not like he didn't suspect something, he is showing his maturity because the calm and composed HiMERU is about to "sacrifice" himself for Kaname, Niki quite understands the situation and wants to make sure Kaname is welcomed, maybe even being the one who first watches over him because no one else is in the condition to do so or is already busy with the ones having a breakdown

OH MY GOD SORRY FOR THE LATE RESPONSE I PROCRASTINATED THIS ASK FOR DAUS ORZ anyways YESS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MY DREAM MATRIX WOULD BE kaname finally waking up and everyone dealing with the outfall of it would be amazing for an end of era story (and gives alkakurei more to do in the new era) but that aside absolutely adore every idea youve presented especially the amagis having with deal with conflicts as basically an outsider ahhh it so cool (also tatsumi and himeru in more unruley states is mwah chefs kiss) i wouldve loved to see how kaname would feel bout like everything and even how hed interact with other characters but alas maybe one day well get to see a story like that

[eclown4hire]

hi please rant about your enstars sports au 👉👈

Hi anon, you've unleashed my Autism Powers. Behold: My Rant.

Popping this under a read me because it’s a little long!

Some general setting notes:

- All characters are a little aged up in this AU! Each unit is apart of their own university team/general sports team (unrelated to uni). Every character is roughly around 2 years older than canon! :)

- Anzu is the manager of the UNDEAD team!

UNDEAD STUFF:

- Rei is the setter and the captain! He's incredibly strategic, but he cannot actually play on court for long due to his condition. However, when he gets swapped out -- he still observes from the sidelines and helps his team formulate strategies. If you've watched HQ!!, I would say his situation is similar to that of Kenma? Brilliant mind but gets tired easily: as well tending to get targeted much heavier by enemy teams due to this! But UNDEAD has developed a defensive strategy when it comes to situations like that! The rest of UNDEAD are very in tune with Rei's needs and know how to help him as much as they can. They're good buddies!!!

- Kaoru is the libero! He originally joined for credit and nothing more. He wasn't taking it very seriously in the beginning; but he slowly learned that he really enjoyed the sport (as well as his buddies.) He tends to make comments asking to go easy on him: (i.e 'Don't hit the ball too hard at me, okay?) but he puts his all into his games. I think he realised how much he really loved it and was valuable to the team when Koga ranted at him in that Special Anime Sports Show Way (you know the way) one time and kicked his ass in gear. I love Koga and Kaoru friendship so I'm shoving it in -- sorry not sorry.

- Adonis is a middle blocker! I thought this would be cute because he's always mentioning being the 'protector of the weak' and stuff like that -- So I put him as a MB! He's an incredibly competent middle blocker, who originally focussed mainly on blocks that were more to assist his team! Stuff like soft blocking. However he's been developing a killer stuff block lately (That's when you angle your hands in such a way that the intent is to kill the ball and slam it back into the hitters court rather than rebounce it) under the guiding hands of Rei! He's still more of a defensive blocker than aggressive, but he's slowly building up this skills :] Him and Koga are very close friends here, as well!

- Koga is a wing spiker and the ace of the team. He easily has the most stamina out of the whole team. He hits hard and he hits fast. He tends to get worked up however; and easily falls for taunts. He's the one who probably practises the most! Always dragging one of the other three into practice; he's always striving to improve. He and Rei have known each other for a long time and are the only ones out of the group to have known each other prior to the club. I see them more as silly brothers in this AU, because that's the dynamic that's most fun for me personally between them. He's very good friends with Ritsu as well! Their matches versus Knights is always one to watch because of that. He tends to feel insecure because he feels as though he is getting left behind his other teammates -- and that's why he practises so much.

If you're after more detail -- I'd be happy to provide! But I figured I would focus on UNDEAD for now considering I haven't um. Drawn the others yet. but they do Exist in My Mind.

I can say the positions of some units I know for sure tho!

Crazy B: Rinne (Setter + Captain), Niki (Libero), HiMERU (MB), Kohaku (Wing Spiker)

(Note about crazy:B : They always make sure to have plenty of bananas for Niki to eat when he needs them!!)

Alkaloid: Hiiro (Wing Spiker + Captain), Tatsumi (Middle Blocker, very good at defense), Aira (Setter) (?? unsure about this though.) and Mayoi (Libero)

Ra*bits: Nazuna (Libero), Tomoya (Wing spiker + Pinch Server perhaps), Hajime (Setter) and Mitsuru (Middle blocker) (Imaging him similar to Hinata Shoyou!)

Others are still in the Oven -- But if you had any specific Units you wished to know about, feel free to ask!!!

[enswap]

Related to my previous ask about Swap!Noir Neige

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT IZUMI NEEDS TO BE THE REAPER OF FREEZING OH MY GOD IT FITS PERFECTLY WITH HIS TENDENCY TO KIDNAP PEOPLE

I kinda can imagine the event, HiMERU and Izumi in the same shuffle again could mean their personality clashes again, even more with HiMERU being the Grave keeping reaper, so their characters are meant to clash but they went too far and actually fight in the set

Tsumugi as reaper of eternity, desperately trying to make things not change which is ya know a trait of him, while Mika as Reaper of Judgement having to face that he is indeed changing and growing as person with Hinata being the Demi Reaper fated to die by the hands of his former friend

The conflict happens first with Izumi and HiMERU bickering, one of them says the other doesn't understand their character which leads to everyone else trying to reflect if they get their own

The group somewhat breaks after Tsumugi realizes that he is exactly just like his character, someone who fears changes, while Mika sees his own growth opening with Hinata about being detached to his own humanity so yeah while everyone is having a breakdown/fighting Hinata and Mika are having a good time

Because they are having a good time they're the ones who bring the others together, Hinata admiting that pretending to be someone they aren't is hard, implying ya know *wink wink* but also saying Izumi and HiMERU have different styles that can be brought up when portraying their characters

Mika helps Tsumugi see that change, even being scary, might be good and part of what is to be a person, we grow and beliefs we previously held might not be so strong anymore

So yeah that's my idea for Swap! Noir Neige

[ context ]

Stealin some of these ideas hehe... (if you're okay with it of course) Not sayin much else about swap shuffles since they are still very much wip (some characters have been finalized though)

[eternally-tired-muffin]

Climbs from inside your walls into your ask box

I could DM you this but.....

I got lost from the walls to your DMs

The real reason is that I thought it would be cool for more ppl to then further discuss this

If you could take one character from one media and plonk them into another who, to which media and why?

Bonus question, which two characters from different media would you swap and why?

(feel free to reflect my ask back at me)

Scurries away frantically with an air of social anxiety

ooh intersting questions!!

for the first one, I would plonk gojo satoru (jjk) into demon slayer so he can solve all the problems and none of my favourites die <3

for the bonus question, I'm not sure. I had an immediate answer for the first one but this needs more thought. OH. I would swap langa (sk8 the infinity) and himeru (enstars) because it would cause lots of chaos without either media suddenly having a massive death toll

feel free to reblog this with ideas!!

[charismaofobedience]

also i think if they swapped places for a day rinne would have a great time rapping with fling posse and he’d be able to beat doppo in a fight but dice. well maybe niki would be nice to him but himeru and kohaku would definitely bully the hell out of dice

JFKCJKAJQBEKFBKSJW YEAH. as we saw with rinnes solo he could rap w fling posse 100%. fun silly goofy time w the posse where they win battles. meanwhile dice arisugawa is eating yummy food from niki but also himeru and kohaku are roasting this man alive

[tsunflowers]

this is so fascinating... like was he doing cyrano de bergerac with the original himeru? were they swapping all along? wtf is going on with you himeru

[xysible]

Hellooo I hope you're doing well (and if it's not I hope it gets better)

I just reread all your unitswap posts and am honestly going through it. I love the world building that's going on and want to know more. (Specifically about Mayoi but I'm a MayoiP so yes, I don't mind waiting though). It's just so interesting and I want to hear more about the others who I don't think you've mentioned like Hiiro and just hnnnn.

This au just gives me so many thoughts and feelings and I just can't wait to read more about it.

Sorry about the long ask :')

hii!! sorry for the late response but i hope you're doing well as well!

tysm! i'm really glad you're enjoying it <3

i haven't been working on any particular part of lore (more focused on some other aus atm) but i've been thinking more about the swap !! era.. mayoi's not really involved, but i do have some ideas for the eccentrics (they rot my brain always)

trying to start things off on a light note, the eccentrics definitely went on like,, trips together. particularly things like camping/hiking considering how many of them are like "society and people are weird. revert to rock" lmao. tsumugi would probably tag along a lot too

valkyrie was kind of just a result of mayoi and tsumugi's unlikely friendship during the war. it's pretty much just two skrunklies nerding over historical fashion

valk's old songs still happen, sora takes nazuna's place in them

i can just see tsumugi, mayoi, and sora hiding in like. the basement. of yumenosaki playing video games as they wait for the war to be over

i feel like mayoi would be afraid of himeru until he sees the others' softer side (doting on kaname) and then is like. huh. he's not that bad

i'm not too sure who forms a duo with wataru before crazy:b tbh,, natsume could easily make sense if i just made his relationship with his mom worse (i need to make up for the lost angst! /hj) but a wataru/koga duo is really funny to me

something bad happens between wataru/shu/kuro (possibly before or during high school) which takes the place of the amagi family conflict in canon for the !! era. i'm not really sure what that is yet though

both alk and cb have the sort of odd found family dynamic here too. except alk gets two mom friends and cb gets two deranged uncles

it's not much but i hope you liked this!!

[goldfinwrites]

Tatsumi gulped down water from the bottle he had packed, sitting on the bench of the practice room. His knee ached, but he was only taking a short rest between hours of working through the choreography. He massaged his leg before standing up and stretching.

The dance had several spins, which made Tatsumi frown, as turning quickly was still difficult for him. He had asked Rinne to take into consideration his mobility, but as expected of their selfish leader, Rinne had barged on ahead with no regard for his unitmates. He rolled his eyes as he gently wiggled his foot. He didn’t regret joining Crazy:B (most of the time), but it was exhausting keeping up with the other members. Niki, despite his lack of interest, excelled on stage and Kohaku managed to perfect the songs quickly. Even Rinne worked hard beneath his cavalier demeanor.

He started the music, playing it from the weak speaker in his phone. Kohaku had mocked it while showing him how to download the song, and Tatsumi wondered briefly if he should upgrade, but decided against it. The phone did what he needed.

The blaring synth was interrupted by his ringtone, causing him to stagger. He checked the name and answered. “Hey, Dad.” His father sounded a bit tired, but still as gentle as always. “Hello. I’m just checking in on how you’re doing.” Tatsumi wiped his face with his towel. “I’m fine. I was wrapping up before heading back to the dorm.” “That’s good.” Tatsumi could hear the smile in his dad’s voice. “Listen, if you ever have some down time, feel free to stop by the church. I’m sure people would be delighted to see you.” A deceptively soft laugh crept out his tight throat. “Unfortunately, I’ve been very busy, but if I can ever get the chance, I’ll try to visit.” His heart slammed against his ribcage as he forced the words to sound upbeat. The rest of the conversation was a vague blur as Tatsumi felt the guilt of lying tying knots in his stomach. When the call finally ended, he immediately knelt and choked out the beginning of prayer. He rushed through an Our Father, and as ‘Amen’ left his lips, the air in his lungs seemed to return. He shivered as he gasped for air, hands still clasped together. After an eternity, he stood up, almost collapsing as his knee briefly gave out from locking in place.

He picked up his phone, finished his water, and began weakly stretching before stumbling towards the dorm. Rinne must have chosen to crash at Niki’s place, since Tatsumi arrived to nobody inside, and he robotically gave thanks to God. He didn’t have to worry about Rinne commenting on how long he took to shower, so he could scrub away his sins under scalding water.

He dreamt that night about the hospital, of waking up after surgery to see his knee wrapped rightly. He wept that day, hard enough to hollow out his insides, as he felt his dream and future slip away. There was a very real chance he could never step on stage again, never see his dear fans waving lights, never hear his voice projected as he danced, exhilarated. He grieved that day, knowing that even if he recovered, he could never perform with his unit again.

Physical therapy left him sore. All the time. He laid in his hospital bed, leg trembling from the walk down the hallway, and he closed his eyes, feeling frustration bubble under his skin. The cross necklace he was given by his father, the one he usually wore, was gripped in his fist, the ends pressing painfully into the meat of his palm. When he went to bed, he tossed it on the nightstand and covered it with a bouquet someone had left instead of placing it neatly under his pillow.

“You look terrible.” Kohaku sat on the bench, already in athletic wear. “But you’re on time.” Tatsumi laughed mildly. “Niki said he would be late today. Apparently, there were more people than normal during the lunch rush.” “Rinne’s incapable of using alarms, so he’s probably going to be late too.” “Which leaves us here.” Tatsumi set his bag down and began his normal stretches. “Were you planning to start on time or waiting until they got here?” Kohaku shrugged. “I was going to wait. You booked extra time so it’s not a big deal if we run over.”

Tatsumi had drilled each move, every cue in the song, and he took extra care to make sure he was in good shape for practice. His diligence had paid off, as his body ran smoothly with muscle memory. Though he could perform individually, he knew the unit’s synchronicity left much to be desired. “You should probably let him go, Rinne…” Tatsumi’s trademark nervous smile graced his face. “I’m just giving him a hug! A special one!” Rinne’s arm held a struggling Niki firmly in a headlock. Niki’s hands pushed and pulled uselessly. “My own unit leader is going to kill me! Hey! Help!” “You gotta switch with the music!” Rinne continued over the shouts. “That’s when the spotlight comes on, so you need to be in the right spot!” “You can lecture him without asphyxiation…” Tatsumi began to pry at Rinne’s grip. Rinne let Niki go, holding his hands up. “I’m the one in the center so I can’t trip over you!” Niki clung to Tatsumi, whining, ignoring Rinne entirely. “I just wanna cook! Let me quit! I don’t want to work with this guy!” Tatsumi’s ears were ringing, but he waved his hands slowly. “Now, now…”

Rinne walked with Tatsumi to the dorm, chatting about his last trip to the pachinko parlor. His laugh echoed as he slung his arm over Tatsumi’s shoulders, and Tatsumi resisted the urge to shrug him off. “…so then, since I’m on this streak…” The door swung open and they walked in. Rinne’s arm slipped off as he threw himself onto one of the upper bunks. “…it’s been three rounds already and he’s just been losing…” Tatsumi set his stuff down on the bottom bunk opposite Rinne’s chosen bed. He was waiting for a pause so he could take his leave to shower, but Rinne showed no sign of slowing down. “…pissed off as hell, right? It’s hilarious and I…” Nodding politely, he conspicuously rummaged through his things, grabbing pajamas and a towel. He saw the silver chain of a necklace and shoved it back under his socks. Hopefully this story was ending soon. “…chugged it! Kyahaha ✰!” “I have to go shower.” Tatsumi held up his clothes, as if proof were needed. He smiled apologetically and quickly walked into the bathroom, not wanting to give Rinne the opportunity to shout through the door.

Tatsumi collapsed into his mattress, ignoring Rinne’s snores. He was utterly exhausted and fell asleep almost instantly.

The day he was discharged, he hopped on crutches to his father’s car. They headed to the church, his parents’ home, and Tatsumi ignored the uncomfortable itch under his skin as they walked past the sanctuary. His old bedroom had been put back together and he saw untouched boxes sitting against the wall. Someone, probably one of his old unitmates, had packed up his stuff from the dorm. Tatsumi grabbed a spare sheet from his closet and tossed it over the boxes.

The lights were off, since it was well past midnight, but his computer screen lit up enough off his room to see. Tatsumi was looking at old videos of his unit again, even though he had seen them enough to watch them if he closed his eyes. He felt nauseated, but compelled to hit replay, and the song ran through his wired headphones. His breath came out shallowly as angry words and complaints clogged his throat. The version of him on the screen pointed at the audience with a wide grin. Tatsumi swallowed the desire to break his computer and felt the urge fall into a dark pool at the bottom of his stomach. The music ran out and he clicked replay again.

Despite how much he applied himself to his practice, he never seemed to get anywhere. COSPRO felt cold and empty, but he kept wondering if he was externalizing his own lack of ambition. He had applied to try and taste the joy being on stage used to bring, but there no longer anything there. There was a void inside of him that had started growing the day his knee broke and maybe one day it would consume him entirely. He stared across the park from the bench. A shadow fell over him and he looked up at a red-haired man with a wild grin. “Yo! Rumor has it we’ll be in the same unit!”

Tatsumi adjusted his costume one last time, then closed his eyes to pray. The words ran through his mind on autopilot, filling his mouth with the taste of acid, but he felt his shoulders relax anyway. Crazy:B was what he had agreed to and wanted deep down. Rinne, as egocentric and greedy as he was, would help him stand beneath the spotlights again and give the yawning hole inside his soul meaning.

UNDEAD’s performance was running smoothly as Tatsumi ran out, his unit scattering immediately. As he admired Rinne goading the audience, he knew Crazy:B would eventually dye their hands and paint stages with the industry’s blood. The familiar electronic beat hummed under his feet and the lights flashed around him. Niki cheered somewhere on the other side of the stage. How many Hail Marys would it take to go for him to sleep tonight?

[tatsumi-harem-chronicles]

omg concept y’know that one fic where himeru accidently starts dating mayoi to fuck with tatsumi (y'know the angsty one) except niki's also there as another interloper i dont even know if hes after mayoi, himeru, tatsumi or all of their hands but hes going for it i think

niki: i know you dont even like mayoi. but I DO. you dont deserve him. you dont love him. but I DO. himeru: you fantasize about gnawing on his bones niki: that means i LIKE him. thats how you LOVE people tatsumi: can both of you get the fuck out of this room

akjflandsflansdjfa the mayoip within me is pleased

mayoi dying over being tugged in three different directions

the mayoip within me also says that mayoi's inability to say no will land him in relationships with all of them simultainiously

EXCELLENT AS IT SHOULD BE

:subaruagree: needs love

dhdjfbfall of them having to set different days and times for dates

they get together every wednesday for tea, timetable discussions, and flexing their various relationship status and how much better they are at dating mayoi with each other

GhadbjffnSNFKFNF

they always do this in mayois dorm. in front of him. while tomoya is not around.

tomoya casually reveals that hes seen mayoi fresh out the shower before (on accident, of course) and all three of them turn to stare him down murderously, having never seen mayoi even take off his gloves

oaknfkladsfklansdklfnalksdnfklansdkfadskjfaklsdnfknaskdfnkasdfknaksdnfkasdnfknasdkfnaksdfjknasdkfaldfkasdbfkvacsssfd tomoya fears for his life, actually he (briefly) wonders if nii-chan would let him crash at his dorm for the night to hide

niki: this is so UNFAIR i want to see mayoi chan with his hair down tomoya (nervous): i-its not like youre missing much anyway tatsumi: are you INSULTING mayoi? tomoya: NO, I,

himeru: himeru has recorded this exchange and intends to release it on holdhands unless you swap dorms with himeru tomoya (in tears): DEAL please dont hurt me niki: AW CMON tatsumi: THIS IS FOUL PLAY

eichi teshouin, the one the idols were told to go to abt dorm stuff: i feel a disturbance in the force

shbsjddKsndkfbSKDNKFJF the only solution, is to schedule who gets to be mayoi’s roommate each week,

there are now four(4) discussion topics for weekly tea actually at this point they are semi-jokingly contemplating get registered as an official circle in es

HAHAHHSHDDKFBFJ

The Mayoi Ayase Boyfriend Circle (tm) mab circle for short

mayoi love is strong tonight ♡

You get a mini-talk with Ibara and you can punch him in the face if you so choose. Tori challenges Shu to a jousting tournament with mops (absolutely no one wins btw.) The film is a musical originally and Wataru has to be physically restrained from running on set.

Arashi buys you flowers at the end for managing to stay sane while making a film within a 2 day no breaks span. Mayoi is alluded to be hiding in the ceiling the whole time. He probably slept up there too.

The cards are as follows:

- 5* “Beautiful Perfomer” Shu, 5* “Analytical Actor” Ibara, 5* “Perfect Inspiration” Arashi

- 4* “Film Star” Rinne, 4* “Amazing Janitor” Yuzuru, 4* “Ending Song” Tsumugi

- 3* “Amused Critic” Eichi, 3* “Interruptive Director” Keito, 3* “Musical Super-fan” Wataru, 3* “Bored Audience” Kohaku, 3* “Getaway Driver” Mika, 3* “Saint of Coffee” Niki

Enjoy the brainrot,

- FRAME anon

Saint of Coffee Niki is such a good phrase oh my god. I wanted Tsumugi to have a 5 star can we please swap him and Arashi. I also think Leo should compose the music for the movie, cue Leo suddenly appears and disappears without notice, leaving behind only a bunch of music notes scribbled on the paintings they were gonna use as props. Shu is inconsolable. He and Tsumugi have a debate on the topic of art forgery and their value (technical, aesthetic, historical, accessibility, all aspects. It lasts 3 chapters and there's no definite answer). Himeru shows up to discuss some crazy:b related matters with Rinne and overhears Shu saying originals are sacred and no forgery, no matter how much it resemble the original, can replace them. He immediately turns around and leaves, he cannot do this today.

Halfway through filming, with 2 hours of sleep a night, they start getting paranoid that they'll be robbed while filming this movie and they start suspecting there are spies among the crew. It is in fact just Mayoi in the ceiling but this also adds to Ibara's breakdown.
