What if Marinette was a Kpop Idol but as Jeon Somi? After her latest song became popular on youtube. She decided to come back but told her parents they were happy that their daughter was an Kpop Idol but as Jeon Somi as her mother supports her along with her father. Her parents doesn't believe a word what Alya said to them the other day about her bullying Lila since Marinette was in Korea that time talking to the company as in The Black Label.

Jagged found out that his designer was a Kpop Idol by Tom Dupain who told him about his daughter's life before she became a fashion designer. He thought of having a collab with his honorable niece if Penny approves it with The Black Label telling them that he knows Marinette.

But as we all know Lila started lying about being friends with Jeon Somi but what she doesn't know is that Jeon Somi is Marinette. AS for Felix he found out that Dupain-Cheng is Jeon Somi it wasn't hard to figure it out alongside Luka, Chloe, Sabrina and Kagami.

At the end Lila ended up having lawsuits by Jeon Somi and people she lied to. Including Alya for her blog as well.

Saw idol!Kaiba on my dash recently, so I needed to share this.

This song has been eating my brain for over a month as an idol!Kaiba song. Not just because of the lyrics, though trust me, they have strong Kaiba vibes, but also because of the very obvious DANCING WITH A HOLOGRAM. Because even as an idol, you can't keep this boy away from his tech.

Lyrical samples to convince you:

I break through any limit keeping me from my goal Till the dawn of an awakened new world under my control ~~~ In the end only those with power Are the ones who rise above ~~~ Carry onward, never let the world hold me back If the truth stand in my way then charge and attack

"Do you think they're gonna see the video?" the cameraman asked, laughing. "Probably not. I don't think this is going to do that well in terms of going viral, but I do think it'll be something cool for our fans to watch," Chloe answered honestly. "Unless a Senti member does a live reaction video." Alix cracked up at that. "Please be serious." Or A rising girl group covers notorious boy group's song, and offset a chain of events—a viral video, a dating scandal, and falling face first into the greatest love story the industry's ever seen.

(NEW!) Chapter Three

[thoughtspresso]

Oshi No Ko was about Arima Kana all along.

And I think there’s a real possibility she may die at the end.

Or be placed in the way of grave danger.

I was reading some AquKane shippers say something about how they don’t understand AquaKana, and why the writers and directors keep clearly pushing Kana towards Aqua when they barely share any chemistry. Whereas, in their belief, his relationship with Akane is more honest, deeper, whatever. I’m not here to argue about that. But I get where they’re coming from. And the simple explanation is this:

It’s because this whole story was written for Arima Kana.

I’ve seen some Youtubers talk about how this whole story was meant to be fulfillment for Ruby/Sarina’s dream to become the next great Idol, something about Amaterasu favoring her.

And that’s near what I thought of it. But I really think if the God of Entertainment wanted to bless a child with cancer a second life as the world’s great idol, they’d also give her a great singing voice, y’know?

Spoilers for the manga, of course as we go along on this explanation. So anime onlies, get caught up before you start reading me ramble.

Here we go:

1. Arima Kana is the embodiment of Amaterasu, not Ruby.

Or at least, Amaterasu’s appointed representative, or her favorite daughter.

To give you a run-down of some of the core Shinto/Japanese Mythology that is important for the story, the Creator God Izanaki had three children:

Amaterasu, Goddess of the Sun.

Tsukuyomi, the Moon.

Susanoo, the Storm.

The story goes that Amaterasu and Susanoo had a competition about who could create better gods. So Amaterasu took Susanoo’s Totsuka-no-Tsurugi* (longsword) and split it into three, from which she birthed the three Munakata goddesses.

And woncha knowit, there are three great actresses born in that year?

*A reminder that Kana plays the character Tsurugi, which literally just means Sword. And Akane’s character Saya-hime just literally means Sheath or Scabbard Princess.

In this bet, Amaterasu got clever with the rules and won on a technicality. Susanoo went on a rampage, destroyed Amaterasu’s ricefield, and flayed Amaterasu’s favorite divine horse*, and then threw its body at her loom.

*The name Arima is spelled with the Kanji of Horse & Exist/Live. 

Amaterasu, in her grief, flees into a cave, believed to be Amano Iwato cave, right in the town of Takachiho, Amamiya Gorou’s hometown, and the death place of  Tendouji Sarina.

The being that draws Amaterasu out of there was the Goddess of the Dawn, known also as the Goddess of the Revelry & Arts, a being that Aqua says he knows well, and believes there’s a grain of truth to:

And how does Ame-no-Uzume draw Amaterasu out of her grief?

By throwing an absolute rager, and dancing really wildly that it catches her attention and makes all the gods around them laugh so hard. Just like:

Ame-no-Uzume will later on marry a diety who tried to block her passage before, Sarutohiko, who in Ise is worshipped as the god who illuminates the world.

That’s some divinity-level AquaKana shipping right there.

Just like how Aka Akasaka wrote the story of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War about two lovers who couldn’t be together just like in the myth of Kaguya, but having his characters overcome all odds to defy divine fate, I do believe that apart from the parallels to the mythology like he did in Kaguya-sama, there is very literal divine intervention this time in Oshi No Ko.

I think what’s happening is that the gods, particularly Amaterasu and Susanoo are quarelling again about who could create better gods, just like before, but now more of whose favored child will shine the brightest and be worshipped by the most humans. But just like last time, Susanoo may have been enraged, especially at the sexual assault of his chosen Hikaru Kamiki, that he possessed him with a corrupting force that urges him to destroy shining stars before they reach their peak, hence the murders of Himekawa Airi, Hoshino Ai**, and Katayose Yura.

Which by the way, the name Hikaru means Radiant Light!

And Hoshino means Field of Stars!

Whether it’s because Amaterasu is angry that every daughter she sends to earth is slaughtered by Susanoo’s chosen, or just because she wants to win their competition, she appoints Ame-no-Uzume to assist in safeguarding her new favored one from Kamiki’s clutches. Her new favored one being Arima Kana.

And therefore, Ame-no-Uzume takes the souls of two motherless humans who had passed before they could shine and sent them to become Hoshino Ai’s twin children. It was all anyway happening in her territory of Takachiho at the most opportune time.

Ame-no-Uzume is also known as The Goddess of Dance, as well as The Great Pursuader. And wouldn’t you know, that’s exactly the gifts that the Hoshino Twins received.

An energetic performer who takes the stage with dance:

And a deceptive, persuasive, extremely believable actor, who:

fooled his own sister into believing she had been rejected from an audition

pretended to scout an idol from a competing agency to research them

get Director Gotanda to raise him and train him

make Akane not just date him, but follow him down a destructive path

convince Kana and Mem to join IchigoPro

impersonate Pieyon for several days straight

Anyway, I truly, truly believe that unbeknownst to Aqua, his true mission is just to keep drawing Kana out of her darkness until she shines the brightest. Which is what he keeps doing anyway:

2. The Timing of the whole Oshi No Ko plot is aligned with Arima Kana’s rise to unprecedented stardom.

The story of Ai Hoshino’s pregnancy and meeting of Gorou Amamiya in a quaint hospital occurs at the beginning of Arima Kana’s life, just after she is born.

She meets Aqua Hoshino around age 4, already talented, and already extremely arrogant which could have easily been the demise of her career. But meeting Aqua and seeing his acting was a necessary wake-up call for her, that it brings her to tears. She never forgets this experience that she brought that lesson with her to her adulthood: that she can’t be satisfied and keep working harder, and to be a better communicator with her colleagues. At their first point of contact, Aqua already becomes the reason why Arima Kana’s acting career survives the slump.

They meet again in high school, when Arima Kana has one acting job in a lackluster production of Sweet Today. The ratings had plummeted, if not for the fact that Aqua came onto the set to draw out the best acting Arima Kana could deliver. After this, Arima receives much more respect and recognition from her colleagues in the industry beyond just being cast to bring some legitimacy to their production.

It’s because of Aqua and Ruby that Kana joins IchigoPro’s Idol Division, and her career is reborn anew. Such that, even after quitting B-Komachi, Arima states she never regretted the decision to join, because otherwise the career of Arima Kana would have been already over. 

It’s because of Aqua’s presence that Arima trains to become better and better as an idol. Aqua kept drawing out the light from Kana’s eyes, to the point that it catches the attention of the crowd who previously had no interest in her.

It’s because of her experience as an idol that she regains the confidence and sense of greed necessary to grab the attention of the audience when on stage, such that even Akane recognizes this change in her when Arima takes the stage as Tsurugi for the 2.5 Adadptation of Tokyo Blade.

And it’s because of all of these that she captures the attention of award-winning Director Masanori Shima, who lines up some roles for her when her acting schedule had dried up. It’s once again because of Kana’s dedication towards Aqua that Shima D finds her so interesting that he was most willing to promise her the best role possible.

It was as if Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto appointed Aqua and Ruby to come draw Arima Kana out of her Cave, and bring the Sun out again, just like how the deity drew out Amaterasu.

If you think about the title of the show, Oshi No Ko, it literally means The Favorite Child. God’s favored child. Arima Kana had been born chosen by Amaterasu from the very beginning. And Ame-no-Uzume is sending Aqua and Ruby to aid on this quest.

Which explains why it seems like there had been a mission communicated to Aqua from the very beginning. And why Ai was never going to be reincarnated at all.

You would think that if The Crow Girl, which we assume is the divine guide Yatagarasu, was communicating with Aqua about his revenge plan or helping him find Kamiki, that Aqua would hold a more favorable relationship with The Crow whenever it appears to give advice, no?

But it’s exactly the opposite. Because The Crow is guiding him into something that is different from his personal goal that Aqua doesn’t understand.

And this is where I think Arima Kana could be put in danger.

3. Arima Kana is Hikaru Kamiki’s next target.

There were earlier theories that thought Kurokawa Akane was the one to die next, because of what people have now learned of Kamiki’s serial murderer profile targeting big celebrities before their peak, and because Akane had received a bouquet of white roses from him when she won an award.

The chapter when it was expected to happen was a fake-out from Aka Akasaka, and some people think it’s still possible that she’s the target. In fact, I keep seeing recent theory videos who discount Kana and say she’s “the safest”. Hah! If only!

The scenes with Shima D weren’t just a mere plot point to bring scandal to Arima’s name, and threaten her career and life enough that it pushes Aqua to reveal his mother’s secret in exchange. But it’s there because this is the upward path for Arima Kana. So far, the only people who have witnessed her dazzling star power have been fans of the Sweet Today manga, idol otakus, and people who attended Tokyo Blade. That’s not really masterpiece-of-the-century, performing-at-the-dome level. None of these gigs have placed her center stage in what could be Film of the Year, and a Best Actress spot. Now, the chance is here, and it’s real:

I think, The 15-Year-Lie will attempt to draw out Hikaru Kamiki, or that Aqua intends to reveal himself in the movie looking like him, and reveal the identity of his father.

But I also think what would happen is that they would be unsuccessful at taking him down completely. Instead, from the movie, he would be interested in Arima Kana, and target her through the course of her Shima D movie, and plan to kill her before an important awards night.

Alternatively, now that Kana is changing her focus to film, she may consider moving agencies, and ask Frill Shiranui about her agent. And if we’re right, she is likely represented by Kamiki Productions.

Either way, Kamiki will pay attention to her and try to kill her just before she reaches her highest.

But I don’t think Arima Kana will die. I think instead of being saved by Aqua, it’ll be Kana who takes Kamiki down. Echoing back to her getting mad at Aqua for thinking that avoiding her was protecting her, and Aqua believing that Kana doesn’t need help since she’s strong enough to take care of herself.

And then maybe, it’s Arima Kana who draws Aqua out of the darkness too.

And, just like with Kaguya and Shirogane Miyuki, Aka Akasaka is once again writing a story about two people who will defy a fate of divine tragedy, and come out of it being more truthful with each other than they’ve been with themselves all along.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

You know I find it so funny that everyone sees Tokyo Mirage Sessions as a funny happy idol game when

-The game literally starts with over 500 people being fucking murdered, with three of your party members and one of their sisters being the only survivors

-Tsubasa Oribe, who is reported as being the only survivor because she was the only one who survived that was in the audience, only wanted to be an idol to try and find her sister and figure out what happened to her

-Touma Akagi (put him in FEH) only wants to be an actor because his parents abandoned him as a child and the thing that saved him and stopped him from giving up on life was totally-not-Kamen Rider and now he wants to spread that hope to other children

-Kiria Kurono’s a victim of bullying and deeply represses her love of cute things because she thinks it makes her “gross” because of the way she looks and this ends with her growing and changing and accepting the way that she is

-Eleonora “Ellie” Yumizuru is obsessed with going to Hollywood because she’s always treated as an object or a doll at home and she never felt like she belonged, so she wants to go to Hollywood because she feels like she’ll finally be accepted for who she is there.

-Mamori Minamoto is perfect. She is not traumatized because she’s 11, but her arc is about learning how to stand up for what she wants because the adults around her have been deciding what she wants to do all her life and now she wants them to fuck off and let HER decide what she wants to be and do as an idol.

-Yashiro Tsurugi (put him in FEH too) is also severely traumatized. He watched his father get murdered by Gharnef and never got over it, got saved by Tiki, and now his life’s purpose is to find her again and when he finally does he realizes that she’s completely lost her memory. Also canonically doesn’t know how to eat because his father, while he loved him, kinda sucked and taught him to think only of improving his craft and so he left all the stuff that he considered unimportant to his assistant who he fired after he was against his transfer to Fortuna Entertainment.

Anyway TL;DR TMS is the happy fun idol game but also if you take a couple of seconds to look under the surface you’ll find that every character has reasons for being who they are and they’re so amazing please play Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore for the Nintendo Switch

Hey I was wondering if you could make a Weesa( I hope I spelled his name right) smut like reader just hanging out with the him and boys and then maybe jealousy coming in you can really do what you want with them idea or maybe for reader reaction a little argument it’s okay if you don’t wanna write this it’s kinda a lot anyways 😔😔sorry

Here ya go, babes!!!

Jealousy, Jealousy...

Would you like to buy me a coffee ?

Summary: While hanging out with friends, Weesa doesn't seem to like how your attention isn't on him so he makes sure you know exactly how he feels...

Warnings: Not full on smut, public touching, frottage, Weesa cums in his pants, sub!Weesa, dom! idol!Reader, not proofread

Author's Note: Here's the latest out of the inbox. I'm currently running on no sleep, but I'm still working on clearing out my inbox. Hopefully, you guys enjoy and Stay Classy~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, babe. Do you wanna go out and hang with the guys?" Weesa, in the shower connected to my bedroom, shouted. "I thought you guys had a film shoot to go to?" I responded.

"There was a change in schedule, so our manager decided to let us have the day off." "Okay then, I'll text the guys to meet us at our usual spot."

This wasn't usual for us. Sometimes, it would be rare for Weesa and I to have time off from our idol activities at the same time. Whenever we do have time off at the same time, we usually spend it indoors but it had been a long time since I saw the others.

As I texted the guys to meet up to make the plans, Weesa walked out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He then walked over to where I sat on the bed and leaned over me.

"Uegh, your hair is still wet." I cringed playfully, pointing my finger in his forehead. "I just wanna show you some love, babe." His answer was followed by him getting more close to me, with him almost laying on top of me. "Well, you can show me love once your hair is dried. I don't want you catching a cold." "What? Colds can't touch me, if anything they're afraid of me." He answered. "Hon, you had a cold like two weeks ago and your were very very whiny. If I can recall, you kept saying that 'it was gonna take you out' and 'you wanted me to remember you as the sexy man you once were'."

"A bit dramatic, don't you think?" I said cheekily, seeing the light blush form on his cheeks. "I truly thought I was gonna die." He huffed, moving off the bed. "Yeah, yeah, drama king. now, let's get your hair dry before you get sick...again." Giggling, we both moved back towards the bathroom.

After a short while, we began to make our way towards the park to meet with the others.

Once we arrived to the park, we were met with a hilarious sight. Tsurugi was hanging Ryoga upside down while Ren and Jimmy were wrestling around. As we walked closer, Ryushin and Kokoro greeted us first. "Oh, hey guys. What's up?" Ryushin spoke, looking up from his phone when he noticed us getting closer.

"Nothing much, just the usual. Though drama king here was taking a long time getting dressed." "Only because someone was very distracting..." Weesa mumbled under his breath.

"What was that, babe?" "N-nothing.." "Okay, well since we're here, I brought some food for us to share." I shared, shaking the basket in my hand which grabbed the attention of the others.

I then grabbed Weesa by the hand and we plopped ourselves down on the blanket that was laid out on the grass. Before I could set the basket down, I could feel Weesa's hands slide against my hips, feeling the grabby motion he was making.

I turned my head slightly in his direction and saw his small pout. I smiled lightly, finally setting down the basket and sitting myself on his lap. Once my body made contact with him, his arms immediately wrapped tight around me. I leaned back and went to whisper in his ear.

"What's wrong, babe?" I questioned quietly, curious on why he was suddenly getting more and more needy. "I don't like the way they look at you...." He mumbled against my back. "Who, baby?" "The guys...the way they look at you...don't like it."

"Baby, they were looking at the basket." I chuckled, now understanding why he was getting needy. "Now, are you hungry? I can grab some food for you..." Once I asked him, he answered with a small shake of his head. But, I also felt his hips buck into me slightly.

So, that's why he's needy....

Instead of being out with friends, he wanted my full devoted attention. "Weesa, baby, did you not get enough attention this morning?" I chided playfully in his ear. His movements stalled a bit, as he knew he was caught.

"N-no, you did." He stuttered. "Really, because it seems to me that I didn't do a good enough job." And to make my point, I grinded back against him which caused him to let out a quiet muffled moan.

This gave me an idea. I turned back to face the group to see that they were still devouring the food. Knowing full well that they were preoccupied by eating, I continued to grind down against Weesa. I could feel his clothed cock throb against me. Each time my hips made contact with his erection, he let out the most sluttiest whine I've ever heard from him.

"So naughty, trying to get off while we're with our friends. What would they think if they looked over here? To see you trying to get off just by me grinding on you?" "Hmm, does that turn you on? You want them to see you cum just by a little dry-humping?"

The thought of our friends just taking a quick look in our direction seemed to turn him on even more. His movements became a little bit harsher, his hands tightening on my waist. I could tell he was getting closer to cumming.

"Come on, baby, cum for me." I purred and that seemed to throw him over the edge. His movements stopped and stuttered and I could tell that he just finished. Weesa then placed his red hot face into the crook of my neck, trying to calm himself before interacting with the others.

My hand went to caress his head and I turned to see that everyone except for Ryushin had ran off to the lake. "You two are some kinky freaks, you know that right?" He commented, not making eye contact with me.

"I'm just taking care of my babe." I replied with a smirk laced in my tone.

Weesa's never gonna live this down.

reading aint enough i need to inject your fics into my veins

(this could be us)

Wanna know what else you can read? The 'me-n-u' at the restaurant 😘

Anyway heres Tsurugi Kinjo x classmates ultimate idol reader hcs cuz I can 😛 The grammar here are sucks tho :/

⊹₊⟡⋆ Tsurugi Kinjo x Ultimate Idol!Reader headcanonᯓ☆

Tsurugi first met you at school. He never watched TV before, but he does recognize your face from all of the posters and magazines at the city.

Somehow you two managed to become close friends, to the point he would open up his feelings to you. Like how he would talk about his hatred towards criminals, and obviously it took you by shock but you still ended up staying closer with him anyway.

He's always worried about your safety knowing about your career. There are times where he caught one of your 'fans' stalking you while you were oblivious to the danger around you. So he made it a mission to protect you from all the evils in this world.

It took him awhile to realize he has a crush on you. Not because of your charms, but your sweet personality really made him fall for you.

The boy is in denial. He doesn't know what to do with these feelings. He's the Ultimate Police Officer, and you're the Ultimate Idol. Isn't that a little bit too much?

To his surprise you are the one who confessed to him first. He's so red that you could compare it with a tomato. He accepted your confession anyway, and you two officially became a couple!

Obviously you two had to keep your relationship as a secret. It would be a problem if the whole world found out about this right?

Mostly indoor dates, but if you two go on a date outside, you two have to disguise yourself. Be sure no one will catch you two.

He's very clingy, mostly after work. He would come home and will cuddle up with you to recharge his energy.

You would always flirt with him using some stupid pick-up lines. But if he ever flirts you back, you won't stop thinking about it for a month.

Mhmhmhmemfmememakesoutsessioneveryweek

He would buy your merch like a keychain and put it in his wallet or sometimes.

If he's free, he would come to one of your concerts in disguise while wearing a shirt with your group's logo with your own personal light stick. (Each member in your group has their own personal light stick btw. Just my idea)

If he managed to catch a criminal, you would give him a big kiss and tell how amazing he was!

Your relationship really worked despite being real busy, but you two still make time for each other.

"Tsurugi? You look really tired today! Did something happen?"

".....Yeah. I ended up overworking myself today...."

"That's no good.... Let me prepare a nice bath for you.Then we can eat dinner together!"

"That sounds nice. Thank you darling."

what are your thoughts on the trailer!!! I was excited before but I'm really hyped now to see how they take on this arc (especially since it's one of the strongest in my opinion) it looks like the team having a lot of fun bringing out each characters acting quirks and expanding on what they did in the last season, I'm really looking forward to how they adapt everything! the scene at the end is soooo cool....agh doga kobo really loves onk and you can FEEL it lol

FROTHING AND FOAMING AT THE MOUTH ABOUT IT!!!!!

i've been desperate to see how tokyo blade would get adapted to the anime since episode one last year and like. i'm trying not to get my hopes too high but even just going off what we've seen in the trailer, I'm so incredibly excited. It already seems like the team are making a ton of incredibly creative and fun directing and staging decisions to punch up the imagery and ideas of the manga's version of events (I literally hyena laughed out loud in sheer Wow! Fuck! The Power Of Animation!!! glee when i was watching live and saw that paint splatter effect and the half-Tsurugi half-Kana shot for the first time). In general, I think the Tokyo Blade arc is really uniquely suited to being adapted into an anime format over any other arc in the series and it easily has the potential to top season 1.

The new OP also whips ass??? i honestly thought betting on bringing Yoasobi back would have been free money so this really took me out lol (tho since GEMN seems to be a unit made specifically for OnK season 2, I've heard speculation that Ayase of Yoasobi and Avu are part of it? time will tell ig.) I loooooove Fatale even in the snippet we've heard so far, though - I think comparisons to IDOL would've been inevitable so going in a really different direction was probably the best thing to do. I also love that it feels almost more like an OP for Tokyo Blade, the in universe fiction, than it does OnK itself - that's such a fun touch!

Augh. Wuagh. I'm just so excited. I've been daydreaming about what season 2 of the anime would look like ever since I got hooked back into the series and it feels so surreal that we're so close!!! on god i gotta finish my s1 rewatch by july...

[lordmartiya]

Just wanted to say that I freaking loved your idea of Minako as Sailor V having gone toe to toe with Tomoe before & know Tsurugi just being like "Fuck no, not going up against her again!"

Bold of you to assume it was a fight. More like Sailor V stumbled on work abuses at Tomoe's shops in Minato Ward one time too many and decided to work up the chain of command to deal with it once and for all (she's got school, youma fights, and idol chasing, she can't constantly waste time with this bitch), and Tomoe ran the moment her executives started being arrested.

You know what? I give up *throws towel* If you can't beat them, might as well join em'

Ahem, hey guys did you know Naoyuki actually works on the aame place as all those people you selected for the reenactment? Maybe you should pay their HQ a visit!

Yeah funny thing is that I did discover that, the 3 of them I found were working at that foundation.

But the forth one is a bit unknown. Still not sure where they went, who they are or if they are even alive.

Well, we can start with the most recent to the earliest if that helps.

Okay sure, actually the thing is that this crime happen before the tragedy.

*places the news clip and pictures* Here you, hot off the presses!

TRAGEDY STRUCK AT THE OTONOKOJI RESIDENTS

Date: March 31st, 2011

The famous band, Melody Rhythm members; Hibiki and Kanade Otonokoji who had just return from a graduation party they were celebrating with their Class at Hope's Peak had just discover that their parents were found dead.

Maria and Sousuke Otonokoji, who was a nurse working the night shift and a salary man at an illustration company respectfully were discover to be brutally murder and torture which it seems Kanade Otonokoji was the first to discover the scene and call police.

'The murder was very recent and look to be a complete slaughter.' Tsurugi Kinjo, the officer on scene had commented. 'I had spoken to the 2 or well, 1 of them of what happen; it seems Hibiki Otonokoji was too shaken up to make any comment which understandable but her sister did mention some details - like how they had some stalkers in the past few years during their time as Melody Rythum and they must of struck when they were celebrating their graduations.' He further commented.

The investigation is still ongoing and will find the killer...

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

Wh-Whoa, their parents were brutally murder...? Dang, that's scary...!

Yeah no kidding, seems that Melody Rhythm was being interrogated for what happen and looking over more of this; seems they had some stalkers and disappearances related to their band which is believe to be curse before this happen and given how crazy idol fans can be - they gotta be the craziest.

But here's the weird part about it, after that incident; all the murders that was surrounding those 2 just...stop...

Just...stop? Just like that...

That seems rather abrupt, don't you think? There's got to be more to it...

I know, it's really weird and I was questioning it but yet again, given the tragedy was about to start and Tsurugi Kinjo was going to Hope's Peak Academy as apart of Class 79 he didn't have time to search.

Well maybe that stalker got killed during the tragedy? I mean there was a lot of people that died so maybe there's that.

Yeah that might be it, well at least we got 2 down.

If you had to assemble a five-member idol group of only characters from heisei era toku who would you choose and why

I've pondering this ask all day and I finally have the answer

I call them "I have side swooped bangs and a demon inside of my brain helppppp HELP MEEEEEE" or Cherry Boyz for short

As the name indicates, its 5 boys with similar bangs and brain issues. granted Yamato is the only one here who doesn't get possessed by an evil entity canonically (dinosaurs, malware, french malware, and Beeg Worm) but his sheer quantity of non-fantastical issues qualifies him being here

Yamato is leadernim naturally. Eiji doesn't have the desire (heh) to lead, Emu IS the eldest here at 24 so he could be leadernim, but I think its funnier if he's an eldest not-leader Xander UKISS style (maybe he's a bit jealous of Yamato bc of it. heated drama and all that), Hiromu is too much of a hard ass to lead THESE specific men and Tsurugi is Tsurugi

Hiromu and Tsurugi are both the youngest at 20 so I think they'd have a fun opposites attract maknae dynamic. they are this to me

They're also def the most popular ship in the fandom, right behind Emu/Yamato. Eiji is shipped with his own boxers a la Onew and fried chicken

As for music positions, Yamato strikes me as a leader-lead vocal type who veryyyy occasionally raps but like the kinda rapping that's more just talking in a "sexy" voice (Jacob The Boyz iykyk). Eiji is main vocal bc I want to add to his existing Onewisms and ya know >Time Judged All. Emu is main rapper and he's very bad at it. Hiromu is lead rapper who is objectively better at rapping than Emu but he's not Cute Quirky Gamer BF so no one cares and neither does he frankly. and Tsurugi is useless sub vocal (he always says he "STANDS AT THE TOP OF VOCALS" while only getting a few lines per comeback)

Will the powers of the miraculous be different in the ladybug!luka au, cause looking at vipress makes me think she will have poison or potions-related powers (though this might just be me wanting the miraculous to have more magic-like powers)?

I am still fine tuning the other powers and just who will be part of the cast, but I can share what I have for the ladybug!luka au called Salvation.

I will be putting a focus on the abstract concepts that are the kwamis. They will play a big role in shaping the characters as they progress through the story. For example, Kagami will be subject to the destruction aspect that is Plagg, becoming a living embodiment of destruction as a result due to her repressed desires.

Furthermore, the same power scale as the first AU is in effect here. The more they use their powers, the stronger they are. The stronger the bonds with the kwamis, they are safeguarded against other holders and their powers.

But this is what I have so far with the current holders for Salvation (NOTE: These are subject to change at this point in time):

Luka Couffaine (Ladybug/Creation) - Power: Creation (as the name implies. Passive: Aura of good luck.

Kagami Tsurugi (Black Cat/Destruction) - Power: Destruction. Passive: Bad luck aura.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng (Bee/Devotion) - Power: Devotion (think Charm Person from D&D) Passive: Enhancement (for each person that admires, adores, or idolizes her, she is stronger, resilient, and more agile.)

Adrien Agreste (White Cat/Freedom) - Power: Defiance (defy the rules of reality) Passive: Teleportation.

Colt Fathom (Butterfly/Transformation) - Power: Alter (allows the holder to transform a number of things, which is where the Akumas can manifest) Passive: Warp (An aura that drastically changes people when near the holder)

Gabriel Agreste (Peacock/Beauty) - Power: Beauty (allows the holder to alter/adjust how attractive a person is the traits that make them beautiful) Passive: Enthrallment (gives off an aura that makes everyone perceive him as the most beautiful creature alive)

Felix Fathom (Bat/Fear) - Power: Terror (Allows the holder to warp people's fears, bring their fears to life, put them in horrific nightmares, etc.) Passive: Fear aura.

Juleka Couffaine (Snake/Health) - Power: Flourish/Decay (Flourish is a heal that restores the body, mind, and soul. Decay is the opposite) Passive: Mender (salves, poisons, and potions created and applied are guaranteed to work with a 100% success rate.) (She is essentially an alchemist)

Alya Cesaire (Mouse/Perception) - Power: Bend (allows to manipulate perception) Passive: Perception (enhanced hearing, sight, and smell.)

Lila Rossi (Fox/Deception) - Power: Trick (illusions) Passive: Deceive (those who come in direct contact with the fox (not an illusion) will believe every word she says, no matter how farfetched.)

Nathalie Sancoeur (Spider/Betrayal) - Power: Shatter (can destroy the bonds on lovers, friends, family) Passive: Whispers (those that draw near the spider will hear the whispers of betrayal that push the victim to commit terrible acts)

More will be revealed later once I get a feel for who else will be part of the line-up.
