@mrfartpowered fucking grips you. my pal theres so much you'renot ready for this

au summary: the bros make a band with levander after graduation. theres alot of drama.

read more because. oh boy

so, first. the epilouge.

unstank my hart happens.

going into 11th grade, theresa asks randy out and they date for a while. high school sweethearts. the sorceress comes back, messes it up. not EXACTLY sure what all goes down here, but it ends with fowlham breaking off, and randy deafeating the sorceress for good.

12th grade graduation. randy has to give up being the ninja. he, doesn't WANT to, but ultimately accepts it.

Randy asks Howard NOT to tell him he was the ninja. He's worried if Howard does, it will undo the mind wipe, and he'll go crazy like a certain previous ninja did. Howard relunctantly promises to.

Randy mind wipes. one specfic detail i have about this scene is. after the mind wipe, Randy starts crying for reasons he can't remember. Howard just awkwardly comforts him.

COLLEGE.

Randy and Howard go off to college. Howard is studying either culinary or business. dunno exactly what randy studies.

Randy is STRUGGLING. Alongside the general stress that comes with adulthood, he's developing and dealing with PTSD from being the ninja. he feels VERY lost and unsure of himself. has NO idea why.

specfic hcs i have for randy and his ptsd. he develops pretty bad anxiety and paranoia. sometimes he straight up can't leave the house in fear of something after him. bad social anxiety. doesn't like being touched randomly, and can't handle being recongized by someone he doesn't know. he's also partially mute. when his anxiety is REALLY bad, he can't talk for DAYS.

he has, NO idea why tho. doesn't remember anything that could've possiby happened to cause this.

howard's struggling too. not nearly the same level as randy is. some of it is influence from being possessed by the tengu. he can't stand being in the dark. he has feelings of being trapped in the stone, and wanting to break out. finds fire comforting.

some of it is from randy too. randy was constantly ditching him to do ninja things, having to help randy whenever he got hurt, and mostly importantly, having to keep the secret of the ninja from him.

howard CAN'T stand not telling randy about the ninja. yeah there was a lot of problems, but they had so much fun together. they went to space together. they had a band together. all sorts of lil shit, and randy doesn't remember ANY of it.

howard still knows all of the ninja secrets, and refuses to tell anyone about it.

howard, distances himself from Randy. he really doesn't know how to deal with it. starts avoiding him, and stops hanging out with him.

Randy doesn't get why. at all. Whenever they have a fight, they usually end up talking it out and laughing about it later. but there wasn't even a fight this time???????

i imagine they room together for a year, before one of them gets their own place.

randy gets a job at the local movie theater. saw fanart of howard being a barista sometime ago, howard'sa barista.

the job actually helps randy with his anxiety a bit. he learns customer service pretty quickly.

one night, being bored as hell at home, randy decides to go to a local bar. levender's band is playing, and levender recongizes randy in the crowd.

Levender has been studying music at a different, specialized college. Still plays the guitar, but he's mainly focusing on composing and producing music. He still has a dream of being a legendary rockstar. He loves musicals and is an actual good at rythem games. specfially guitar hero.

Levender recongizes Randy in the crowd, and decides to say hi. He doesn't have any hard feelings about what happened in 9th grade.

He's done a complete 180 since high school. He's chill and easy to talk to, if not a bit shy. rides a motorcyle.

I imagine Levender is very empathetic and emotionally sensitive towards others. Music is all about emotion after all.

Levender says hi, and its takes Randy a minute to recongize him.

I imagine it's a scene where like, Levender looks kinda upset and Randy thinks he's dead, only to realize Levender's chill.

They talk and catch up, and Levender plays on stage. it's nice.

They slowly start to become friends. Randy goes back to the bar the next week, they hang out again. Randy starts following Levender's band, and Levender invites Randy out to places.

maybe a bit of a fling. just dudes being bros

I like to imagine there's this one thing. Levender invites Randy as his +1 to a college party at his school. Randy's nervous, but goes along anyway. something happens, and randy has a bad panic attack. He straight up jumps the fence and runs back home.

did i mention that randy's atheltic as fuck. he runs FAST, and can hide like no other. howard's lazy, but got some skill. levender can't run for SHIT.

randy got home and howard helped calm him down.

Levender does try to stop him, and goes to look for him. He finds him at his apartment.

randy isn't answering any calls or texts, so levender goes up to his apartment. and howard answers the door.

i imagine at this point, levender and howard have re-met maybe once. levender saw howard while hanging out with randy, and despite randy's protests, said hi to howard. Howard just kinda, awakwardly left without much fanfare.

howard opens the door, and levender asks if randy's there. howard tells him randy's not in the mood to talk.

first time levender's really been exposed to randy's ptsd. randy hasn't opened up about it, feels like if he tells anyone (with the exception of howard), something is gonna happen.

levender tries to be supportive about it. Doesn't feel it's his place to actually ask tho.

Randy and Levender are basically best friends at this point. Howard... is salty. Kinda jealous, in a 'you don't know him like i do' sorta way.

like to imagine levender will just causally show up whenever randy is. randy tries to be sarcastic about it, but levender straight up Doesn't Get it.

Randy: lmao are you here for the ramen sale too?

Levender: no i came for you :D

Randy:.... to get ramen with me?

randy's love language is acts of service/gift giving. whenever they hang Randy brings snacks for levender.

Levender has also been having some problems with his band. Despite having all the instrumental talent, they can't find a lead singer. Levender can't sing very well. Causes some in fighting, causing Levender to distance himself from the group.

Levender vents to Randy about it one night. Randy tells him some lesson he learned from the ninja nomicon, says levender shouldn't give up on music if it makes him happy. Levender is inspired by this, and asks Randy to make a band with him.

Randy is... reluntant, but ultimately agrees. He can still play the keyboard/piano, and gets singing lessons.

Randy and Howard have yet to properly make up tho. Randy thinks Howard is just straight up done being his friend, which SUCKS. Howard still can't bring himself to face Randy.

I imagine Levender keeps running into Howard tho. Levender doesn't really know what's going on between the two, but does want to help settle it.

He kinda. indirectly confronts him about it. Saying that, if he doesn't want to be Randy's friend anymore, he has to tell him directly.

does anyone want a very indepth explaination of all of my rc9gn band au lore/drama. like. ALL of it.
