After being thrown into the ocean Alika forced asked Aodh nicely to hang out since they hadn't seen each other for more than a week. They went to a vinyl store, ate some fish and chips and Aodh argued AGAIN with him for no reason besides being mean. In the end they decided to spend some time together to the amusement park. Kind of romantic for a guy like Aodh, uh? 👀

HERE YE, HERE YE, UNDERTALE FANS WE MADE SOME AUS
in order they are: echo sans, draintale sans, save file sans (and no im not copying heisa, or however u spell their name bc im stupid and forgot how, i made echo sans back in the first few weeks of the pandemic.)
.
.
.
ANYWAYS
echo sans takes my concept that echo flower ‘roots’ are actually interconnected vines which is how they can copy each other as well as people, and i use it to make him suffer. he wakes up in a field of echo flowers, rooted to the ground, but escapes the vines and runs home. no one remembers him, and the vines continue to make him suffer, even wrapping around his soul and going through his right eye socket. he eventually ends up in the antivoid after his au is deleted and has been there since, wandering though there and through aus.
draintale sans or zans basically suffers from a fictional disease i made that splits his soul (which is shown in the art) into many pieces, complete with hairline cracks from resets and external damages. there’s all sorts of horrible symptoms he needs to go through as well. although, he’s the strongest out of most of the sanses, since he conserves his energy for attacks, only giving it half of his all to keep himself alive. his papyrus is much more respectful about his laziness and rest, due to him knowing about the disease; as zans has been dealing with it since he was a kid. zans only has one gaster blaster btw and it’s 100 feet tall. zans likes traveling the multiverse, and is generally good friends with most of the sanses, even the bad sanses. bc like, yk. he’s literally dying and fragile as fuck. so naturally he’s the chillest dude alive and has no true opinions on anyone.
save file sans. well. let’s just say some strange and slightly paranormal events lead one thing to another, and he manages to absorb a save file. it almost kills him, so all the human souls including frisk and chara’s souls allow themselves to be absorbed by him. creating a less forceful fusion. (yes he was slightly based off of seraphim, i won’t deny that.) the fusion however breaks the fabric of his reality, due to it being so outlandish, as well as the fabric of his mind. his au disappears and so does his previous conscious, which is replaced with a calmer one. he just wanders the antivoid and aus like how echo does.

I cannot describe the amount of rage I feel every time I watch that Max & Isabel scene in "It's Too Late and It's Too Bad".
Isabel may not be able to wrap her head around how Vilandra could've betrayed Zan in their past life, but it seems as plain as day to me.

always feel kinda weird when i make a canon character “worse” than they are in canon in my own hcs but also like hyness was a literal cult leader who exploited the sisters and hit zan onscreen and literally used her and her sisters bodies as tools in his boss fight so like. canonically he is a horrible person who’s actions just get sweeped w a vague “oh he might have been corrupted actually theyre cool now” ending. so i guess its not that strange to just lean into him being abusive in my hcs

2024/01/20 aknot only Gorilla Hall Osaka - Report
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I only applied for this date on this tour, so I feel super lucky to have gotten it, especially for such an iconic anniversary!
This was my first time at Gorilla Hall, but the entrance process was super organized and easy. I had quite a high ticket number, so was fairly far back when I first got inside, but I could see the stage, so wasn't too bothered. HOWEVER, there are no rails in Gorilla Hall other than the front rail! So as soon as the lights went down for the show to start, there was a big rush forward, and I pretty much found myself nicely mid crowd, only a few meters from the front, shimote of course! Happy!!
From the start there was so much fan service! Kaoru and Die standind together, Die and Toshiya standing together, Kaoru and Kyo standing together, everyone gathering around Shinya....even in the first few songs!
Die and Toshiya in particular looked...close. At one point Die stood behind Toshiya and rested his chin on Toshiya's shoulder, spoke in his ear, and after that even got down on his knees and played his guitar while looking up at Toshiya! 
Yes, I did see the other members a bit this time, haha. There was a spotlight behind Kaoru for quite some time, which would shine directly into my eyes and blind me whenever he stepped out of its beam, so I was forced at times to look elsewhere to save my eyesight 😂
Kyo was still bald, all white make up with black eyes. He looked really spooky. 
Toshiya was in his sparkly dress to start, and for the encore he wore a leopard print shirt, with the tiniest tight shorts ever. I only saw his shorts at the end when he stood up high on the truss, and I initialy thought he had lost his trousers somehow, haha (his shorts really just looked as small as underwear), but then i realised this was his actual outfit 😂 
Kaoru was in his black jacket/white shirt/waistcoat combo, looking like a total aristocrat. Blonde hair, combed back 😍 And for the encore he wore a White Zombie band tshirt! 
Kaoru was using his pink ganesa for Yurameki at the start, but changed to a few other guitars during the rest of the show. He also took off his black jacket few songs in. 
The set list was amazing, as follows:
mode of adam
yurameki
Schwein no isu
Zomboid
Eddie
Mouai ni shosu
Myaku
304 goushitsu
Tsumi to batsu
Obscure
Byou shin
Karma
Unknown...Despair...a Lost
zan
ΕΝ.
Akuro no oka
Followers
Filth
Child Prey
So many of these songs were songs that I was listening to when I first became a fan of Dir over 20yrs ago, so it was actually surreal hearing them all live together like this. Especially having just watched the newly released footage from 1999, hearing Schwein, Tsumi to batsu, Byou shin, Karma together...omg, it was overwhelming! 
And Akuro no oka! The audience was quiet for the whole song, and gave a respectful applause when it finished. It was really emotional. 
My fave part of the encore was actual during Filth! Something came over Kaoru, its almost like he became the song...he was roaming the front rows of the crowd with his eyes, but his facial expressions just exuded the MOST erotic filth! Its like he was thinking about dirty, dirty things, and it showed on his face! If I had been in the front few rows, I would be dead for sure! 
At one point I saw him pointing straight in my direction, with his head tilted and eyes half closed, but that wasn't during Filth, haha. 
I didn't catch anything this time, but I did get watered on by Kaoru, Toshiya, and Die, so Im happy! Kaoru's bottle flew straight over my head, and when I was on my way out I saw a big puddle of (real) blood on the floor where it had landed, so Im assuming there was either a struggle, or someone had slipped on the water that splashed out of it. But there was a venue staff member standing there to stop people walking through it on the way out. 
Kyo, Shinya, and Toshiya left the stage, and then Kaoru smiled and pointed at Die before leaving. The Die came over and tapped the mic, and said, 'Can I say something?' 
He gave a really emotional speech about how they have come this far due to the support they have from fans and people around them, and he acknowledged that Dir en grey will have to end one day, due to the members being only human. But until that time, they will continue to cherish playing lives and being with fans. Then he said like, 'so Im not gonna let you die before us, promise me' 
You heard it everyone, you gotta look after yourself, and keep living for Dir, and they will do the same for you!

Would be amazing to wake up to the News of a dead/murdered(hopefully brutally) Khamenei tomorrow....
A gift to the World, on Occasion of International Women's Day.
Iran deserves that much atleast.
Followed by further changes in the Iranian Government, with an elected leader of the people's Choice. And not the son of the Shah. Even if there were any successful Participation of him in Elections.
No Shah. No Mullahs.
Or else, there is no Difference.
One Oppression should not end only to begin another. No.
The Women of Iran deserve Freedom.
The people of Iran deserve Freedom.
Women. Life. Freedom
Freedom for Iran

Pretty Coincidences (Part One)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Yoon Jeonghan x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 2.8K
Warnings: Strangers to ??? AU, angst, mentions of cheating, mentions of plane crashes, swearing
Summary: Choosing to run away from your problems on an impromptu trip to Italy may be the best decision you’ve made in your life thus far.
A/N: a belated birthday fic for the beautiful Jeonghan and also a belated birthday fic for my fave Carat friend Zan 💜
Masterlist
Part Two?
Tumblr media
To say you were heartbroken was an understatement.
You feel almost dead inside as you sit in the backseat of your Uber, unshed tears tempting you to break the flood gates. How the fuck did you get here, in an Uber on the way to Incheon Airport running away from your responsibilities and problems?
The answer was Geumjae.
Forty eight hours ago, you were happy. You were happy and in love with your seemingly loving boyfriend of four years, Geumjae, in the talks of buying an apartment together and Geumjae planning to pop the question to you this coming Christmas in front of both your families. That was, until, you decided to take the afternoon off from your office job, feeling unwell and in all honesty, wanted the comfort of your boyfriend and your bed.
Instead of finding your loving boyfriend making soup for you in your apartment, you were greeted to the sounds of aggressive lovemaking coming from your personal bedroom. That scumbag was using YOUR bed in YOUR apartment to sleep with other women?! No fucking way.
Now, you’re not a pushover or a pussy. On the contrary, you proved to yourself that you’re the opposite; storming into your bedroom and throwing out your new ex boyfriend and his flimsy little side-piece, who you vaguely recognized as your now ex-best friend, who was trying to stammer some sort of apology. You didn’t hear her as she spoke though, only throwing both him and her out of your apartment with nothing but the clothes on their backs, which at that moment, was none at all, leaving them to rush to his car as quick as possible without being seen, as you curled up on the living room floor in hysterics.
After a long night of tears, a whole tub of ice cream, half a bottle of wine and burnt clothes, photos and bedsheets, at the ripe time of 2:43am, you feel the sadness within you seep into a seething anger.
Screw this guy! You don’t need him! You can do a lot better and deserve someone who will love and treat you right! Who else can treat you better than yourself?
In a half-tipsy wine drunk state, you grab your laptop and start typing travel options in your search bar.
You had always dreamed of wanting to go on a trip to see Italy ever since you met Geumjae, and for four long draining years, your requests were always rebuffed with a ‘I can’t afford it’ or ‘why don’t we try local?’ Well screw that. You’re newly free and have the funds saved, as well as PTO from your job. After sending a long and misspelled message to your boss, you rise from your spot on the floor to march into your room to pack your bags.
Forty eight hours later, you were miserable, angry and betrayed by two of the closest people you know, but you also felt surprisingly free, as if a weight had been lifted off your chest as you stepped inside Incheon Airport to make your way to your flight to Italy.
You settle into your seat with a tired sigh. For once, you’re actually happy you got seated in an Emergency Exit row. You’re not as enclosed as the others which means more leg room, and instead of having two people beside you, you only have one. Double win. The less people you have to interact with, the better. You hope that the unlucky person who was destined to be sat beside you isn’t a talker; hopefully they are just as tired and done with the world as you.
You take a quick glance at your reflection from your front facing phone camera, wincing at the miserable girl you faced. Your hair is pulled back into a ponytail, several strands having found their way out of the loose hair tie securing your locks and falling over your shoulders haphazardly. You have massive bags under your eyes, which isn’t surprising since you have barely slept since you found your trash ex. You hope that you’ll be able to catch up on your sleep during the twelve hour flight to Italy.
After heaving another sleepy sigh, you lift your head to the side to see a hooded figure placing a bag into the overhead locker before sitting down carefully beside you and pulling his hood back to ruffle his fluffed up hair out of his eyes. Your cheeks tinge a dusty pink as you take in the mystery man’s handsome good looks, suddenly feeling self conscious at your appearance. After giving the gorgeous man a small smile in greeting, (which he returns without hesitation) you shrink slightly into your seat, your brain beginning to work overtime as you feel an overwhelming urge to apologize about your half assed looks. The man is in an almost identical outfit to yours, but you can’t help but resent your new seatmate at how much better he looks than you. Then again, he probably hasn’t had his heart ripped out of his chest and then stomped on by his ex-girlfriend within the last two days. You were so consumed in your own self deprecating thoughts you didn’t notice the pretty man looking at you expectantly.
“Sorry, did you say something?” You blink, eyes wide.
“That’s okay.” The man smiles. You blush. Dang, why did he have to be so pretty? “I was just asking if you had enough room there.” He gestures to the armrest between you both. “I can scoot over a little bit if you need.”
“O-oh.” You stutter, shaking your head quickly. “No, you’re fine, really.”
“Are you sure?”
“Mhm.” You nod, giving him a little smile. “I will apologize in advance though, I am 100% going to sleep for this flight.”
“Damn,” he sighs dramatically. You tilt your head in questioning. “You’re going to sleep and let me be the only one to have to save the plane and all these passengers if a disaster happens?”
You’re caught off guard as a giggle passes your lips, your smile growing as the man chuckles with you. You didn’t know how badly you needed to have a laugh.
“I do apologize,” you hum. “But getting my beauty rest is more important than the well-being of the plane.”
It’s the stranger’s turn to laugh along with you, and you feel relieved that the joke lands.
“Hmm, I’ll keep that in mind.” He nods thoughtfully. “Did you need to be woken from your beauty rest when the meals come by?”
You blink in surprise. How thoughtful. “Uhh.. if it’s no trouble?”
“None at all.” He’s surprisingly chirpy at this hour of the morning. “We are the backbone of this flight. We need to keep our strength up.” He winks at you and smiles as you laugh again.
“Fair point.” You nod gently as you fasten your seatbelt, the flight crew beginning to prepare you for takeoff.
You wait for a moment to see if Pretty Man will continue the conversation, but when he settles in and starts looking for movies on his tv, you let your eyes flutter shut, sleep taking over you before you even feel the plane take off.
You feel yourself being shaken gently an hour later as you stir, rubbing at your eyes with a little yawn. Pretty Man is smiling warmly at you.
“Hey.” He mumbles. “Sorry, they’re giving out breakfast.”
“S’fine.” You yawn again, smiling politely at the flight attendant as she passes your meal over. “Thanks for waking me, uhh..”
“Jeonghan.” Pretty Man - Jeonghan offers, and you nod with a little smile. “You’re welcome…”
“Y/N.”
Tumblr media
Your eyes open slowly, yawning out as you start to take in your surroundings around you, the PA system announcing that the descent into Rome will begin within the hour. You sit up slightly and run at your eyes tiredly. Your eyelids still feel heavy, but after having slept for a solid 10 hours, only having been woken up from Jeonghan to eat in between with minimal conversation, you feel like you’ve rested enough.
“Did you manage to keep the plane in one piece while I slept?” You joke, Jeonghan chuckling in response.
“Only barely.” He sighed dramatically, hand on his chest. “I think you owe me for the next flight.”
“I think I do.” You humor him as he laughed.
“So, what brings you to Italy?” He asks after a moment of silence as you glance out the little window beside you.
“Mid-life crisis?” You offer with a laugh. Jeonghan only raises his eyebrows in concern. “Long story short,” you start fiddling with your fingers, nibbling your lip. “Just got out of a long term relationship and I’m long overdue for a holiday. So, I just packed up and left for Rome to forget about the real world for a while.” You wince, not even looking at Jeonghan to know that he’s giving you a look of pure pity.
“Wow, I’m sorry to hear that.” He frowns.
“Ah, it’s fine.” You shrug. It wasn’t. Not in the slightest. “Was probably for the best.” You’re lying, you know you are. “What about you?”
“Ah,” he rubs at the back of his neck. “A friend of mine offered for me to go on a trip here with him. He flew out a few days ago, so I’m meeting him here.”
“That sounds exciting.” You smile as he hums in agreement.
“Definitely.” He smiles back. “Well, I hope that Rome treats you well.”
You hope it does too. “You too.”
Tumblr media
It could just be your excitement, but you truly think that the Italian air is just as healing to you as the place itself. After parting ways with Jeonghan and making your way to your hotel right in the middle of the bustling city of Rome, you think you can feel the cracks in your heart begin to heal, if only slightly.
You take in a deep breath as you walk along the pavement that runs through the city of Rome, taking in the sights of small local stalls selling jewelry and knickknacks, a content smile on your face. You’ve been here for only a day but you feel more like yourself than you have been for the last four tiring years. You adjust the strap of your handbag over your shoulder, fixing the sleeve of your flowy floral dress as you let the sunshine warm your body. Your phone has been left behind in the hotel room, having been blown up since you have landed in the foreign country from your ex. The messages were deleted as soon as they were received and the numbers have been swiftly blocked by you, only providing updates to your parents and your boss that you arrived safely and you will contact them if anything new happens.
You lift the disposable camera that sits around your neck by a strap up to your face, snapping a quick photo of a gelato stand on the corner, your smile growing as your stomach rumbles. You could use something sweet.
“Buongiorno,” you speak quietly, stepping up to the man behind the gelato stand. The man smiles back at you as you take a nervous breath. “Uhh… vorrei un gelato piccolo in cono, per favore.” You smile hopefully, hoping that you didn’t just accidentally insult him.
You release a breath as the man smiles happily at you, leaning down as he begins to take out a cone and ice cream scoop, making your gelato with precision.
“Grazie!” You beam as you pass him your money, taking the cone gratefully. You bow your head in thanks to further show your appreciation, and the man chuckles, bowing his head back.
As you turn, you let out a yelp as you run into a body behind you, almost causing you to drop your new cold treat. Luckily, you’re able to compose yourself quickly and bow your head just as fast.
“I’m so sorry!” You pause before your brain catches up. “U-uhh.. m-mi scusi!”
“Y/N? Is that you?” A soft voice responds, and you freeze.
You lift your head quickly to the owner of the voice, your eyes widening as you see an all too familiar face smiling excitedly at you. His chestnut brown hair is pushed back, his bright smile being just as blinding as when you first met him all those years ago in middle school, who went on to be your good friend for five years before life caught up with you and you naturally drifted apart.
“Seokmin? Lee Seokmin?” Your smile grows with him as he almost immediately scoops you up into his arms, spinning you around in circles. You squeal out a laugh, your free hand holding onto his shoulder. “Yah!”
“What the heck?!” He laughs with you, squeezing you tight once he places you back onto the ground. “What are you doing here?!”
“I could ask you the same thing!” You giggle happily.
“I’m on a trip with a hyung of mine! We both had some time off and wanted to go somewhere warmer.” He chirps, looking you over with a smile. “What about you? Where’s Geumjae?”
You freeze at the mention of his name, biting down on your lip. “Um.. I’m here alone, actually.” You attempt to smile, but it looks more like a grimace. “We broke up. Not too long ago actually and messy. So, I guess this is my way of coping.” You shrug.
“Oh no, I’m sorry I brought it up.” He pouts, rubbing your arm comfortingly. “So you’re here alone?”
“Yep.” You pop the P with a little smile. “But it’s only my second day here and I’m happier than I have been in the last four years, so that’s a plus.”
“I’m glad.” He smiles warmly at you as you nod.
“Dokyeom-ah!” A second voice enters the conversation. “What’s taking so long?”
You turn your head and take a step back with wide eyes as you come face to face with Pretty Man; Jeonghan. He looks more put together than you both did at the airport; now sporting a pair of black skinny jeans with a plain white t-shirt and a leather checkered jacket. He looks just as surprised as you do, taking in your outfit.
“Sorry hyung,” Seokmin smiles, his arm wrapping around your shoulders as you hold your cone now with both hands. “I ran into a friend from school! Hyung, this is-”
“Y/N. The one who left me to fend for myself to save the plane all on my own.” He sighs and places his hand on his chest.
“That was you?” Seokmin gasps.
“Yah!” You glare playfully. “You said it was okay!”
“I only said that to make you feel better about the fact that you willingly let me save us all.”
“It was one bout of turbulence.” You huff before Jeonghan smirks playfully at you. “I won’t keep you guys, you probably are waiting to get some gelato.”
“What? Are you sure?” Seokmin frowns. “You can tag along with us if you wanted, I’m sure hyung wouldn’t mind?”
“No, it’s okay, really.” You give him a little smile. Jeonghan frowns. He can see right through it.
“You’re just going to walk around by yourself?”
“You say that like I haven’t done it before, Min.” You laugh.
“I mean, yeah, you did it on campus but… you’re in a whole new country. I think I’d feel a lot better if you had at least one friend to keep you company.” He insists.
You hesitate, biting down on your lip. He does make a good point.
“How about this,” Seokmin offers. “You don’t have to spend every day with us. Why don’t we meet up once a day? I can take some great photos for your Instagram to show Geumjae that you’re thriving without him.”
“Geumjae?” Jeonghan tilts his head. Your face turns red.
“The Ex-boyfriend.” You hum, looking down.
“He never deserved you.” Seokmin rubs at your shoulders comfortingly as he sees the dismay on your face.
“Ah, thanks Min.” You smile. “I’ll take you up on that offer, only if it’s okay with you and Jeonghan. I don’t want to intrude.”
“You could never. You’re always welcome. Right, Hyung?”
“Of course.” Jeonghan nods with a smile at you.
“Thank you guys.”
“It’s no sweat, really! The more the merrier!” Seokmin beams. “We’re going to the Trevi tomorrow if you want to meet us there?”
“Sounds good.” You hum, waving your hand. “I’ll message you?”
“Sure.” He nods as you begin to walk away.
“See you then.”
As soon as you’re out of sight, Seokmin turns towards Jeonghan with raised eyebrows.
“Ohh Dokyeom-ah,” Seokmin mocks Jeonghan. He starts to blush. “I swear I made her laugh. She was just too cute.”
“Shut up.” He grumbles, glaring at the younger man.
“I can’t believe my school pal is the Cute Girl from your flight.”
“I said shut up.” He hissed. Seokmin just smirked at him with a giggle.

Heyyyy, hope it's okay to randomly drop by! THANK YOU for the post on Jedi Apprentice!! It's completely ruined Qui-Gon's character in fanon and provided a very weird basis for anti-Jedi arguments, mostly based on third hand information filtered through fanfiction. The actual books portray such an interesting, complex storyline for Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and it just gets flattened into "okay here's why Qui-Gon was the worst ever and Obi-Wan needed CPS to save him and clearly would have been better off without the Jedi." I am all for Qui-Gon having trauma and struggling as a master at times but the whole dang point is that ultimately Obi-Wan loved him and missed him and regarded him as a great Jedi and good man. That's just missing nowadays and it's so hard to find anything that portrays Obi Wan and Qui Gon's relationship as complicated but ultimately loving. Gahhh, it's frustrating!!!
It's not even just that Qui-Gon was a good person, but that he was genuinely a good MASTER. Like the period of time prior to Melida/Daan lasts maybe a few WEEKS. There's only a couple of books before Melida/Daan happens and they pretty much run from one event to the next over the course of maybe several days in each book. They BARELY know each other before Melida/Daan happens and then they're apart for probably a few months before reuniting when Obi-Wan calls for help. And while Qui-Gon does struggle a little during the Zan Arbor books (he seems to think they're doing a lot better than Obi-Wan does and doesn't realize just how much uncertainty Obi-Wan still has left), they seem to communicate just fine after the time jump to the New Apsolon arc. Qui-Gon's taking Obi-Wan on a lil vacation right at the beginning, he abandons the mission to save Tahl when Obi-Wan gets hurt because he recognizes his first priority HAS to be his Padawan, and when he hears a voice telling him not to kill someone out of vengeance he assumes that it's Obi-Wan. They clearly have a fairly positive relationship at this point and while Qui-Gon is struggling with other stuff during this arc, the relationship with Obi-Wan himself seems to have really grown and he actively DOESN'T just up and abandon Obi-Wan out of attachment. And during the whole finale, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon communicate really well, there's obvious trust and comfort and familiarity there that they can lean on now and they end up succeeding at keeping conflict from erupting due to their teamwork.
They grow TOGETHER and they become a really good master/padawan pair for each other. Yes, they had a complicated beginning, but it doesn't actually define their ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP either the way people seem to think it does. I constantly see people saying that Qui-Gon was always placing Obi-Wan second to his attachments to Xanatos or Tahl or Anakin and it just... isn't true, in canon OR in Jedi Apprentice. They're SO in sync in TPM, there's so much clear trust between them and the ability to communicate with very little actually said out loud. It doesn't stop Obi-Wan from expressing a differing opinion or his own frustrations when he feels it's important, but Qui-Gon also never holds it against him and Obi-Wan is smart enough and good enough to recognize when he needs to apologize and Qui-Gon's response is to tell him that he's a wiser Jedi than Qui-Gon is. Their relationship isn't any more complicated than any other normal relationship. It's just... a relationship between two people who can occasionally have a disagreement without it completely imploding the entire relationship.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship is SO IMPORTANT, not just to me personally, but to the narrative and to Obi-Wan's character. Obi-Wan learns FROM Qui-Gon, in so many ways. He takes over Qui-Gon's mission because he loves and believes in Qui-Gon enough to recognize its importance, and Qui-Gon comes back even after death to help Obi-Wan one last time. The entire Kenobi show has him reaching out to Qui-Gon for strength and guidance over and over again, but he's only able to see Qui-Gon when he realizes he can stand on his own. That feels like the EPITOME of what a healthy master/padawan relationship looks like. The master guides, yes, but they aren't a crutch for the padawan, the student still has to walk that path themselves.

The Dream Friends are thrust into a murder game! (Simulated. No one's actually dying. >.> )
Now...
...Who fulfills what tropes?!?
First to Die: either Marx or Dedede
Marx because he's a good fit for the "I don't believe this. This is stupid. There's no way this is real." :immediately killed off as an example of the mastermind's seriousness: character. (Or because killing "the funny clown guy" first achieves the same goal.)
Killing Dedede would be the hardcore version of this where you know no one is safe. That said, both of them have a strong claim to the title of Kirby's "rival" so whichever doesn't die is also a shoe-in for that character that is ALWAYS arguing with you in debates. The evidence is RIGHT THERE! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!?
- [Continued Below] -
Meta Knight is your support character who does all the complex mystery solving for you till they get removed toward the end of the game. Same with Magolor, except for the opposite side. Magolor is the one who is never completely trustworthy but still guides you to the logical answers with his trickery. These two almost assuredly die together-ish in the same late-game chapter, pitted against each other by the mastermind to isolate Kirby. On Magolor's side, he will probably be trying to make amends for messing up badly and causing someone to get killed accidentally earlier.
Bandee is an end-game survivor. You just know he is. Adeleine is either another survivor or dies in a middle chapter shock death because you had every reason to assume she was safe until she wasn't. May also be one of those characters who slowly breaks down and loses her spirit as things go on, being a completely different character at the end of the game. Especially if Ribbon dies at any point. (If Adeleine dies first and the killer didn't get Ribbon too, Ribbon will absolutely go ballistic on someone else later on.)
One of the two, Flamberge or Francisca, doesn't make it to the end. Tight knit pairs like these always get split up. Flam seems to need Fran more, so I'm going to assume it's Fran that gets the deep freeze (ohoho...) requiring Flam to both be held back from destroying the place in her rage and slowly learn to be on her own. Zan is a good fit for the rules lawyer character always trying to wrangle the group who is pushed into breaking her own code (probably for Hyness.)
Rick, Coo, and Kine are the quirky background chatter group who all (?) die in the same chapter when the stakes start getting really bad. Gooey survives till the end 100% because you need that one person who cannot follow the logic behind the mystery to save their life and has to have things explained to them but you still love them.
Elfilin is almost perfect for that innocent character that can do no wrong until you realize...oh no, they've been tricked into being responsible for a murder and there's nothing you can do to save them. Goes gracefully to their fate, wishing everyone the best...
Susie is one of those characters who isn't making it past chapter two. (Sorry, Susie! You're still great!) By process of elimination, Taranza probably gets to be the "last boy" sole survivor of Wave 3. But also for being smart enough to keep his head down when everyone else is being idiosyncratic. (Plus just actually having no murderous intent.)
Daroach voted most likely to seem like a reliable, funny friend for most of the game, only to be revealed as a wicked murderer later on only to THEN be revealed to have done the murder for the greater good of the rest of the party. Cue tears. (Aka, "the Gundham")
Dark Meta Knight is the biggest wild card. He could either be 1) the requisite asshole victim/patsy in someone else's scheme 2) the jerk killer without a sympathetic motive that makes you question if any of you are going to make it out of here alright 3) the one guy who is belligerent and nasty and unhelpful but won't just kill anyone and get it over with, only to step in at end to fill MK's empty shoes at a critical moment, saving the party 4) that guy who never really did anything good or bad and you cannot BELIEVE he made it to the end! Nooo! All my favorites died~! Why are you still here, you jerk~?! /affectionate
--TLDR--
[Survivors] Wave 0: Bandee Wave 1: Gooey Wave 2: DMK and/or Adeleine Wave 3: Taranza Wave 4+: Flamberge
[Potential Survivor] Dedede/Marx
[Murderers] Meta Knight, Daroach, Zan, Elfilin, Ribbon*
[Victims] The AF, Magolor, Susie, Francisca
*If Adeleine dies

You got a swap AU?? Could you tell me about it looks really cool!
ohohoho boy do I
- I swapped Kirby with zero; instead of him being made from positive matter, he's made of dark matter, though not evil.
- dedede instead would be a knight and Meta would be a king. SO you have dedede in the halberd taking over dreamland and meta knight in the castle stealing the food.
the meta-knights? Idk what to do with these guys. perhaps they stay the same but they roll with dedede and have a different name.
- marx and magolor switch professions. magolor would be the jester that tricks kirby and steals his wish while marx betrays kirby and tries to use the master crown. Marx eventually builds a theme park to apologize.
magolor would now be home to popstar, while marx would be home to another planet.
- joronia (or sectonia) would gift taranza (later named king rachnid) a mirror. as time passes, taranza would morph into a different person, becoming power hungry and wanting more.
joronia would later kidnap meta for king rachnid to kill, mistaking him for the hero of the land, and kirby has to save him.
after the fight goes down, joronia is left alone and heartbroken with her friend now dead.
- after being gone for so long and separated from her father, susie becomes a lost soul, who's only goal is to take over planets and mak profit.
in the aftermath of the mechanization, susie would lose her life to star dream and president haltmann would move on from popstar, still continuing his company...although more depressing.
- hyness, after being sealed away for so long from the ancients, would eventually fight dedede, who wishes to fight the most powerful being in the universe.
- galacta knight would lead the jambastion cult along with zan, francisca and flamberge
- something something galacta seals away hyness in fear of his powers yadda yadda
so many more, but this is all I feel like telling unfortunately!! I am lazy!!
