YOU. ur btau is making me ill im literally shaking /pos !!! i rlly love ur ao3 fics esp the poly trickstar ones<333 tell us more abt bt trickstar pretty pleek 🥺🥺🥺

WOAAAGH HELLO!! awjglwjg thank youuu i need to write more polytrickstar they're sooo funny. i have a wip rn where they start a competition to steal makoto's glasses in the funniest ways.

bt!trickstar.... they make me so ill. i think mao makes me the sickest but that's bc im relentless maoP so its on brand for me. ANYWAYS. im putting this under the cut cause it's longer than i thought itd be LOL but here's where trickstar end up in the bad timeline au:

mao ends up in akatsuki but bc he's alr on the stuco and probably wouldn't be the most enthused to be performing w/o trickstar (plus there's his whole self-esteem/flashlight complex. which wouldn't be as brutal yet but the seeds have always been there) he ends up taking on more and more of the background/bureaucratic work that keito's always concerned with. mao gets less and less chances to perform as he's buried in paperwork. he's lost sight completely of why he came to yumenosaki in the first place, his love of performing. i think bt!mao finds a kind of solidarity in koga, who also is in akatsuki and doesnt want to be - but also envies him a bit. (bt!koga is forced to perform at pretty much every turn)

makoto ends up in knights... i dont know how mean i want to be w him yet i think in a worse timeline he goes back into modelling full throttle to please izumi and loses himself in being molded by izumi who thinks this is how he can protect and please makoto. either way izumi's obsession w him is at full force and it causes a LOT of problems in knights. i could a whole post on knights their deal is . a Lot

hokuto ends up in fine! he's... honestly he could be doing worse like for all intents and purposes he's ended up in a pretty cushy place. but he has doubts and regrets.... he doesn't find out where subaru ends up until closer to the SS and i think it tears him up a lot. he tears himself up a lot over the what ifs and how everything could have been different if he'd been different. eichi and wataru also like . over-mentor him to account for the fact that he is visibly expressing doubts about being there. again he's doing great as an idol but yknow. he keeps thinking about subaru and the rest of trickstar

subaru ends up in EDEN. he's on his villain arc. i think there's a universe where he drops out of yumenosaki or ends up very aimless and listless and ibara snaps him up like the opportunist he is. he banks on the fact that subaru is mad at hokuto and mad at eichi and tells subaru that joining eden will give him the chance he needs to take fine down at the SS. subaru slowly grows to love his place in eden and he's a bit of a meaner, colder version of himself when he re-meets hokuto at the SS
