HxH AU : Actor and Idol

you might have seen this small post I did some days ago, if not dw. I am SO brainrotting in a Actor/Idol AU of the troupe bebis. God it makes me insane. I blame it all on the stageplay of HxH and their actors posting the cutest pics ever. So have some Concept art for Uvogin and Shalnark in this AU

They look so cute- bebis Also have some rough ideas I gathered over the time now: Uvo - Stage Actor; his social media contains 90% gym and food pics/videos, sometimes some selfies with bros (Phinks, Nobu, Franklin, Bono).

Shal - Stage Actor & Idol singer; social media is full off pretty boy pics and here and there posting some 'controversial' dating pics with uvo (controversial in, his fans are not happy about the idea of Shal dating someone. Toxic fanbase drama is a good base for drama, okay? we need this) They're dating secretly btw. who could have guessed-

Also shalnark frequently steals Uvo's hoodies. Uvo also tends to braid some parts of his hair, cuz cute 😌

Pretty much all of them are Stage Actors tbh- Tho Chrollo and Feitan are with Shalnark in this Idol Band.

Also Phinks has his own podcast :D

You mentioned this a while back but- any chance you’re comfy with sharing your hunter x Lucky Guy opinions? Perfectly okay if you’re not!!

ajsiidsjd...please dont hit me w stones.....

Smiley Face x Lucky Technically both hunter and surv because something something about the angst of Lucky finding out that Weeping Clown and Smiley Face r one and the same when Weepy enters the manor...Lucky who never forgave Smiley Face no matter what and viewed him as this monster, but now Weepy is here and Lucky realizes that its so easy to sympathize with him and he doesnt want that. He wants to be angry for once. Wants to be the one to lose his shit instead of always being "kind, patient Lucky Guy" because Weepy took someone away from him forever and theres no way to change that. Can you tell im projecting

Wu Chang x Lucky IDK THEY WERE CUTE IN THE STAGEPLAY...and Lucky relating with Xie Bian on not being there for the person they love most while with Fan Wujiu they acknowledge each other's determination to keep the people they love safe. Thinking of Lucky acting as a "messenger" for them because even if they can speak with each other through the umbrella its hard to watch over the other.

Joseph x Lucky Looking around back and forth like im going to get jumped because one of my friends really loves Joseph but idk how they feel abt joslucky and im too embarrassed to ask them abt it. When I think of them I think about domestic life, which is baffling.

Idk in a modern au, Joseph who was hired to be a photographer for a wedding, only to settle his eyes on one of the bethroted's friends aka Lucky and it's just love at first sight...gives him his business card and Lucky thinks that "oh he's offering his services to get more clients that's cool :)" and he's literally the only person that Joseph gave a card to

Nightmare x Lucky Come on now. Biggest orphlucky shipper over here...this is just a given. But I like shipping Nightmare with my idea of Lucky's hunter form...the "Forgotten"...they love doing duo hunters together bc they always win ♥️ It's the only time Forgotten bothers playing seriously while Nightmare becomes the laid-back one for once.

For other hunters I haven't rly thought much about lol

Anyways KEEP THOSE ASKS COMING !!!!!

[girljpg]

going to buy a "ticket" to stream the new hunter x hunter stageplay that is happening

i dont ever feel like im ignoring canon i just faithfully follow the canon of the Hunter X Hunter Drama CDs and Stageplay Universe

-: “NIER” WILL TEACH YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IDENTITY.

By suduiko, a long and very in depth essay about Nier and the nature of identity as shown by the various characters in game. While the length and nature of this work can be intimidating, I found it to be a very interesting perspective to look at Nier from. Highly recommended.

By suduiko, a consideration on the ‘open’ world of Nier and how well it works within the narrative of the game itself.

-: THE TROUBLE WITH BODIES: A TRANS READING OF NIER

​-: Nier: Automata is a Brilliant Takedown of Drone Warfare and the Escalation of Conflict 

By Michelle Ehrhardt, a very interesting starting point for looking at Nier: Automata. Don’t let the title fool you though, it goes well beyond making comparisons between Androids/Machines and drone weapon systems. Highly recommended.

-: The Meaning Behind Nier Automata Character Designs - 2B & YoRHa

By Peahnuts, these two videos discuss the specifics of the relationship between two of the main characters, and related elements, as well as the meaning in the costume design of the YoRHa Androids. Highly recommended.

-: NieR: Automata Analysis

By MisterCaption, a three hour video discussing Nier: Automata and most everything in it. While quite in depth, it does come from a newcomer to the series so there are some factual errors here and there, but I enjoyed the new perspective despite that.

@feitanswife @realmrsevilgenius @dailyfeitan

I spent hours laughing about this fanfiction. It's called "A Midsummer Night's Thieves" and it's a friendfiction written by Feitan. The other Spiders call it "Feifiction"

There is not enough Feitan Fanfic

There is not enough Faitan Fanart

There is not enough Feitan everywhere.
