AYO WHEN TF DID INO AND I BECOME MOOTS ARE YOU KIDDIGN

[intimidaid]

ok guys i've lost the plot idk what i'm doing anymore (cw for shifting struggles)

i was doing so well!!! i shifted so many times!!! i even made my own method!!!

and a few days ago i just... forgot how to do it. like hello. what the hell. it was coming to me so easily!! i was even getting memories from my dr and i was like yes, this is it, and then i just... lost it.

i've not been able to visualise properly. i can't hear anything. i can't feel anything touching me. when i shift, my cr body feels full and weighed down and present like an anchor, instead of light and absent and immaterial like it used to. i can barely get into the void.

and shifters giving advice is literally "just do it!!!" and i'm like wdym just do it??? how??? and they're like "just do it!!!" or "persist!!!" like i AM persisting. i'm always like "hmm that was weird, i was supposed to shift at that moment" and "i trust myself, i'm letting go, it is already done, i'm already in my dr, cr = dr, i just have to become conscious of it & open my eyes" and then EVERY SINGLE TIME i open my eyes (intentionally or not), i'm just here.

and my dreams have been getting progressively more AND less about my dr, simultaneously. like i'll see names of people from my dr, and then some random hoe from my cr shows up and tries to kill me or something. 😐. what.

i'm getting such bad mixed signals here hello. the other day i was literally in my dr and now i can't even leave my cr. usually i leave cr -› enter void state -› enter dr, but now i can't even do the first thing

"why are you thinking like this omg you're just affirming/assuming that you can't shift" because i'm confused and i need an outlet dipshit!!!

someone better at shifting than me pls give me a sign on wtf to do i just wanna leave this hellhole and live the life i deserve 😖

NOOOOO OO O OO THE UPPERCLASSMEN WOULD BE SO OVERPROTECTIVE AND POSSESSIVE MY G O D (except for kalim and malleus, one's just happy to be here and the other's too busy trying to figure out how to work the tv).

(i'm gonna reference this reblog of the original post for this go read it it's immaculate--)

IDIA FINDS OUT FIRST. idia actually found the original tape of their audition video after it was posted on twisttube. he's incredibly skeptical, not least because he knows the kind of scandalous things that can go on behind the scenes at these k-pop shows, but if it makes ortho happy, then he's not one to judge.

(ortho gets called by idia every single night he's shooting the powerline show so idia can ask if any of those other slimy celebrities have asked ortho to do drugs, remember to just say no, don't give in to peer pressure. and ortho has to politely remind idia that he cannot, in fact, do drugs, but thank you for worrying.)

secretly, idia calls yuu to see if he can be their manager so he can keep a closer eye on ortho. yuu finds it a little strange, but gives their full consent, because eh. it's not like they're gonna be a popular band or anything, what's the harm? yuu tells the other freshmen about it, and because none of them want to invoke ortho's wrath if they badmouth idia, they agree to it without a second thought.

kalim and jamil find out soon after. kalim thinks it's fun and jamil's just glad the freshmen are away and not causing all the issues like they normally do. (unfortunately, now kalim wants to actually go to the shooting of the show in person and jamil literally has to barricade themselves inside night raven college because your grades cannot afford to miss that much school kalim pls).

azul finds out after their music videos start to become popular, and desperately wants to capitalize on it by becoming their manager-- only to be told by yuu that they already have a manager, and they have the contract written in crayon and covered in dried gatorade to prove it (idia decided to make it official so no crusty businessmen could try to take advantage of them (and i say "official" in the loosest sense of the word)). azul is actually tearing his hair out because wdym u choose the crusty gamer who never leaves his motherflubbing room over me.

riddle finds out next from the letters ace and deuce left behind before they left to go on the show and to say he was furious would be an understatement. do they not understand how dangerous that was. do they not understand how close riddle was to burning the entire dorm AND the school to the ground in order to find them. riddle thinks he might still do it if only they return, and keeping them in a cage for the rest of their lives is too nice of a way to describe what riddle wants to do when they get home.

(this is how you know riddle is really, really, really mad: he's trying and failing to hide it.)

lilia, who finds out from cater and kalim, decides to show silver and malleus so they can both gush over how good sebek's doing together. malleus is familiar with rivalries between competing orchestras, but never before has it been so dramatic and vibrant. he becomes utterly obsessed with the show, but unfortunately, he barely knows how to use the tv remote, so it takes him hours, sometimes days, just to watch 1 or 2 episodes, so it takes him way longer to finish than everyone else.

(he becomes an overexcited parent watching their kid in a school play overnight -- everytime sebek shows up on-screen, even if it's just for half a frame, malleus squeals and smiles so damn wide it scares everyone in the vicinity.)

leona found out from rumors in the hallway, and curious, he decides to watch a few episodes . they're nice, but leona must admit, he's kind of worried about jack. he knows what it's like to live in the public conscious, and if he hears anyone on the internet talking about jack like people in the palace used to talk about leona, hands will be thrown. jack is just as good as everybody else even if he is on the muscular side, don't fucking test him. he trusts idia enough (which is something he never thought he'd say) to be able to take care of it if a serious problem does actually arise, so he just takes to keeping an eye on the pup.

(also he does whatever he can to keep azul from becoming the first-years' officialy manager, such as paying off his employees to sabotage his communication efforts, because like fuck he's going to leave their dorm's only puppy in that octopus's slimy tentacles.)

(yuu notices one day while scrolling through one of their videos' comment sections for funsies that whenever anyone says something even remotely negative about jack (even if it's something as mild as "i think jack's aesthetic isn't quite right for the theme"), a commenter called "beprepared94" starts a violent verbal fight with them in their replies.)

and because we all love to give vil all of the l's in this au, vil finds out last right after the first-years win. vil hasn't kept up with powerline ever since he came in second to neige in the show's final round, but after his dad eric hires the first-years to make music video promotions for his next movie, he finally discovers what they've done and he is BLOWING A FUSE. when he finds out idia is their MANAGER rook is barely holding vil back while he tries to storm ignihyde for the sole purpose of strangling him bcus u better not be infecting my little poison apple with ur bs managerial skills i swear to the seven.

(meanwhile, the freshmen are totally oblivious to all of this, as their practicing the choreo to their new music video in ramshackle's basement.)

I suddenly remembered your 7 man band au when you appeared on my dash, The concept reminded me of kpop idol debut shows, like imagine they only went because the company offered money for getting pass screening but after that you can get booted off so they join, they pass, they get money, theyre ready to hop of this show but plot twist, their made to join the first ep, sure why not more money and it doesn't sacrifice much school time but now they keep winning in the show to the point they fear they might actually be forced to debut as a boyband/Kpop group

i'm gonna be honest, the way u phrased this was h i l a r i o u s.

like imagine there's a popular tv show in twisted wonderland (let's call it "powerline's power stars", based off of that one pop star from "a goofy movie") that's famous for launching the careers of its contestants into the mainstream once they debut. neige and vil both were on it, so of course all of pomefiore knows about it.

epel hears that you can get 500 thaumarks just for signing up to audition, and ANOTHER 500 for actually making it past screening. they all think "why not, money's money" (jack and sebek are just glad they're not going through with ortho's suggestion of making a visual novel gacha game with hot boy characters to attract the "whales", whatever THAT means), and they take a weekend off to shoot their audition tape.

at first they just want to send in their audition, take the money, and leave -- but apparently they're actually pretty good, because one of the producers calls them and says they made it onto "powerline's power stars". they try to back out of it, but as soon as they're promised 1000 thaumarks just for showing up for the shooting, they zoom out of night raven college at record speed.

(well, okay, they do actually write their housewarden some notes explaining why they're not there. the notes themselves are in varying quality, ranging from epel's "money" written in purple glitter pen on a piece of notebook paper and left on vil's doorstep, to sebek's tearful, 10-page long apology in squid ink and delivered via raven.)

when they get on "powerline's power stars", the audience falls in love with them. their chemistry is so good to watch -- a little bullying, incredibly affectionate, and most importantly, surprisingly in-sync despite how much they argue. and their performances are top-notch, always following some kind of theme based on one of the great seven (they are nrc students after all, might as well represent them while they're at it). their creativity and group dynamics easily make them among the the most popular contestants on the show.

the show takes this and markets them in advertisements BRILLIANTLY. sebek and jack are the straight-laced, tsundere-like yet very passionate and protective types. ace and epel are the mischevious, pranking, little shit types, except epel hides it under a delicate facade and a quiet voice. deuce and ortho are the chlidish, overly-excited types who are just there to support their friends and do their best. and yuu is the glue that keeps them together, the ever-present cheerleader, always cheering them on and keeping their spirits up no matter what.

AND EVERYONE EATS THIS SHIT UPPPPPP THE VIEWERSHIP AND RATINGS FOR "POWERLINE'S POWER STARS" GO THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF AFTER THE FIRST ADVERTISEMENT FEATURING THE FIRST-YEARS, AND THEY PASS THROUGH EVERY ROUND WITHOUT FAIL.

the first-years, on the other hand, are more concerned with the amount of money they're raking in for every round they pass. they're so invested in their new capital, they don't realize how good they're doing until it's announced in the final round that they won the whole thing, and will now signing on with the official "powerline" music brand.

when they're told that they're now actually expected to write an album and make more music videos, instead of being excited, they're like "F U C K we actually have to do WORK now UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

(obviously, they give in and do it, because money is money.)

(...ykw, i'm actually fucking with this idea pretty hard lol. i might make it part of the "seven-man band" canon. like this is the random contest that they joined and that's why their famous now.)

You want Sonadow prompts? I'll give you Sonadow prompts:

In the period of time between SA2 and Heroes, Sonic calls up Rouge and asks if any trace of Shadow has been found. He doesn't feel comfortable joining a search investigation and he gives Rouge Shadow's inhibitor rings because he knows that Rouge knew Shadow better than Sonic did. Perhaps during one call Rouge is trying to withhold information that they've found Shadow but she doesn't want to get Sonic's hopes up because Shadow is in critical condition (and with amnesia).

Two touch-starved hogs, neither accustomed to physical contact. After a long while, one of them works up the courage to hold out a hand or offer up a hug. They both hate to depart.

Shadow teaches Sonic how to hone his Chaos powers.

Alternatively, Sonic conditions Shadow so that he can sustain his Super form for longer.

In Sonic Boom, Sonic and Shadow are exes. An in-shambles Shadow decides to destroy the universe over this.

Following his humiliating defeat at the hands of Shadow, Infinite studies Shadow for his weak point to make the best second impression. In watching Shadow's interactions with Sonic, he comes to the conclusion that Shadow is unknowingly crushing on Sonic. He comes to Eggman with a plan to incapacitate Shadow by luring him in with promises of harming Sonic, defeating him, and leaving just enough time for him to watch Sonic's captures in Green Hills. The meeting prior looked something like this:

They play a game of gay chicken... that lasts their entire lives. By the end of the week, they've already gotten married on the beach. They have kids. They decide that whoever dies first is the loser (remember son, dying is gay). This ends up with them beating the shit out of each other in hopes to murder the other that turns in a make-out session.

Shadow feels insecure over Sonic, allegedly "just a guy that loves adventure", being able to match a being created to be the ultimate lifeform. Sonic gives him a pick-me-up by pointing out all the things Shadow surpasses him in.

Once every few months, Shadow's Black Arms genes kick in and he endures behavioral/physical changes for a week. Sonic's there to help him get through it... and experience some of those strange behavioral tics secondhand. (ha ha Shadow be like "biting you biting you biting you" behaviors)

Alright, I'm tapped out for now.

wdym that one abt infinite isn't canon /j

i am looking very intensely at the boom!sonadow one, them as exes is such a headcanon/pos

kinda reminds me of this one lyric from feel better, now i wanna write smn from this but i never finished sonic boom 😭

also that first one 👀👀👀👀

especially thinking about my au, i always depict shadow with intense burn scars from falling from the ark, so like, they find shadow, and he's miraculously alive despite it all, but he's in horrible condition. every exposed inch of skin, which is much more due to a lot of fur being charred and burned off, is covered in swollen, bubbling, reddened 3rd-degree burns, with spots that even look burned black. certain parts (fingertips, toes, ears) are burnt to a crisp and barely look functional, and his burns are leaking fluid and bleeding. he's not even conscious, and while he may be alive now, it's not guaranteed how long he'll stay alive. sonic doesn't care about that, all he wants is for shadow to live now and rouge knows that, but she can't tell him shadow is alive when he's like this, so she just lies and says that they haven't found anything yet augh i love it

the last one reminds me of how i write the werehog and shadow tbh. i have a hc that dark gaia's energy tends to be in high concentrations around the full moon, and under specific circumstances it can cause sonic to transform, leaving shadow with a werewolf bf who likes to lick his face bc shadow thinks its gross

name: yung ae jung. pronounced "yoong ā-ah joong." the first name "yung ae" means "long love" in korean. gave the mirror their korean name as it's prettier, yung ae is their middle name kept by their adoptive parents, and their real name is a bit long.

nickname: yun. pronounced "yoon." crowley, ace, deuce, and grim kept butchering it for a while. so yung ae just settled for them calling them "yun" instead.

age: 18. they say that though they're really 20 years old. due to being self-conscious about a 20 year old attending high school, they lied to crowley and said they were 18.

best subject: history. whether it's the ancient war between humans and fae, the first magical pen, or the tragic, unknown history of blot, yung ae will always be a major history nerd.... even in a completely different world.

worst subject(s): alchemy and potionology with magical analysis [aka. math] being a close second. yung ae jokes that "they are so not big-brain enough for crewel's classes." but they're right. their brain is not a logical-thinking brain. and, just like in chemistry and physics, they are only barely passing. the amount of explosions and fires yung ae and grim have accidentally started broke the previous world record. even with vil and rook taking them under their wing, their max grade they got on an exam was a C+.

birthday: January 16th. a certain horned, nightly companion gets very excited by this and tells one of his most loyal companions the next time he returns to his dorm.

class: 1-B, seat no.5. they joke that they have no braincells but yung ae doesn't give themselves enough credit. their perfectionist nature drives them to give their all in their exams, assignments, and projects.... even if "it's a subject i am ass at," as they've complained to the other first years. therefore, yung ae's grades are pretty decent much to the shock of crowley and the other professors who originally worried that "the magicless prefect of ramshackle dorm won't be able to keep up with the primarily magic-based curriculum."

club: equestrian club. they originally weren't planning on joining a club, actually! what with keeping up with classes, attempting a social life, their duties as grim's "housewarden," and running errands for crowley, yung ae didn't think they had time for clubs. but they heard in passing some random student mention the equestrian club and that was it! horses were one of their favorite animals, after all. no way were they passing up a free opportunity to ride and care for their "own" horse. they were easily one of the first people who showed up beating sebek's arrival time by a long shot..... no, they totally weren't early! wdym?! thank their lucky stars that they took horseback riding lessons back in their world.

height: 149.86 cm or 4'11". there's an extra three-quarter inches which are very important to yung ae. hence the addition of the ".86;" they are a bit sensitive of their height and allow certain people to tease them about their height or give them "short" nicknames. anyone else and watch out for a kick to the shins from them before getting thoroughly chewed out.

hobby: writing fictional stories, stargazing, reading history books, playing video games, baking and cooking food from her home.

homeland: ??? seeing as how they came uninvited to night raven college from another world, yung ae wouldn't exactly know how to answer this. not to mention crewel and crowley swore them to secrecy about their literal other-worldliness.

likes: snow, winter, the cold, dogs, horses, anime, games, soup, coffee, tea, fashion, music, cars/magical wheels, some horror, crime dramas, and dark nail polish

dislikes: exercise, insects and spiders, heights, certain horror, needles, hospitals, toxic/rude people, bossy people, waking up early/mornings, rainy days, overly sweet, overly spicy, and greasy foods.

unique magic: "The Walking Barometer." being magicless has its downsides. but it also has its perks! see, they get frequent migraines which are triggered by weather pressure changes. so yung ae can tell when a rainstorm or thunderstorm is coming because they'll get sick with a migraine and leave grim in jack's and epel's capable hands while they stay behind at ramshackle.

appearance & personality:

as shown in yung ae's picture, they have short, dark, messy hair that normally looks black unless the sun catches the strands. then they glow a dark brown. a tiny, cute, gold clip in the shape of a crown — gifted to them by riddle rosehearts ("stop twirling your hair. here; wear this clip in your hair. that should keep you from pulling on your strands.") — pins back their side bangs on the left side of their face. thin, dark eyebrows are normally crooked downward as their expression usually is that of teasing or mischievous. almond-shaped eyes also look almost black when yung ae is indoors are under the shade of a tree. outside, though, with the sun shining down upon the campus, it's easier to tell by how the sunlight reveals brown tones for their irises.

beige patches and strips usually can be found on in varying places throughout the day on their yellow, asian skin. sometimes it's bullies messing with them between classes but most of the time it really is just because yung ae is incredibly clumsy and often getting their face, hands, arms, and legs marked up with scratches and slight bruises. same with their eye color.

their oversized beige sweater, given to them by kalim al asim, wraps around their narrow, boney torso and arms. a white button-up shirt fits snugly underneath with a black and white striped bow tie nestled nicely under the clean, pressed collar. in the left pocket of their sweater hangs a fake magical pen with a plastic magestone — the same color of the pomefiore stone, in fact — a gift from epel felmier and vil schoenheit after the two of them noticed how yung ae never had any writing utensils for classes. ("stop bothering epel, prefect, and get your own pens and pencils." "but vil, i don't have any writing utensils of my own. grim and i have to borrow epel's for now until crowley gives me more madols to buy a set." the next day before class began, epel handed yung ae a set of pomefiore magestone adorned pens: "these are from vil.")

as much as vil pesters yung ae to act and dress like a proper young lady (they haven't told him their gender yet.), yung ae refuses to wear the skirts he lays out for them the night before classes. instead, they wear a pair of knee-length, rolled up shorts, a belt, white knee-socks from mr. s, and a pair of dark gray, denim converse. even though they despise P.E. — and by extension Flight Class — they like to move and dance and run [to an extent]. and skirts and dresses greatly limit how they can move. thus they often send back vil's choices in clothing irritating him further.

when yung ae's not getting a tongue-lashing studying with riddle, getting dragged by vil to his walk-closet in pomefiore, or hanging out with kalim, they are usually in the library reading up on all kinds of history regarding the dorms, the Great Seven, and the different species that share Twisted Wonderland. ....or rather, they try to. more often than not they're either running around campus causing chaos with epel, ace, deuce, and grim, helping ruggie or jamil with their chores, or studying with either epel and jack, the heartslabyul third years, or jamil and kalim. who yung ae studies with depends on what they need help with.

on days when yung ae and their little chaos group terrorizes the school, vil and riddle take two asprin before sending rook, cater, and trey after their students.

yung ae also loves music. so whenever they see cater coming to drag ace and deuce to heartslabyul, they try bribing the third year by promising to sing a duet with him the next time they're off from equestrian training. "that's only if you leave and pretend you didn't see anything." 9/10 times it works to kalim's and lilia's great delight! (yung ae doesn't like to sing for an audience.)

speaking of personality, lilia and yung ae like to bond over rock music, dark nail polish and being old. he, sebek, malleus, crowley, and the professors all know yung ae's true age. crowley and the teachers practically threatened them to tell them. the fae from diasomnia could easily tell yung ae was lying when they told silver one night that they were older than him. later, they got them to confess their true age. fae can be extremely intimidating.... maybe even moreso than crewel, trein, and crowley combined! still, though, with yung ae hanging around diasomnia the whole dorm collectively breathes a sigh of relief because they all know that despite the new prefect's lack of magical abilities, they sure can cook!!

moving on to food, yung ae brings their own lunch to school which normally was leftovers from dinner they made the night before. this makes everyone jealous to point where ace and deuce often sneak insude.

It IS very poggers of us

>-0 wdym you were barely conscious, I’m pretty sure you stayed up for a while after thattt! You should have gone to bed bro

Honestly the moment we went *TWIN* is when I stopped believing you were normal. And I believe everyone can be save, no hole is too deep for a hand to reach down to help you out of. As long as you are open and willing to take that hand you will find others around you with a shoulder to cry on and gentle hands ready to help you help yourself. You just have to want to help yourself.

For the first part, didn’t we just go twin the moment Lurien was one of my names??? Wasn’t that on the first day we met-

As for the second part oh my GOSH you are good with words I’m lowkey sobbing-
