hypothetical idea of certain levels being like "waves" of fending off decrepit agents of clarity that clearly aren't operating at full capacity as its been millennia since they were fully in operation but still see spark as a threat and occasionally muster the power to try and "override" spark's control of the sim. i have 2 more hypothetical level ideas but idk if i'll get to them tonight

Shinyuu — Reverse Idol!AU A Hwang Minhyun Fanfic

requested by anon!

genre: fluff? its a happy ending, a lil bit of angst (doesn’t hurt your heart angst)

synopsis: you’re best friends with Minhyun and lose contact after a bit, then meet back at a music show.

shinyuu - japanese for best friends

While walking to class with your best friend, scrolling through his news feed on twitter, Minhyun sees that JYP and Pledis are holding auditions on the upcoming weekend.

“Hey, Y/N! Let’s audition to become idols! Follow our dreams you know!”

Next thing you know, you two auditioned for both companies, but you got accepted into JYP and he got accepted into Pledis

Knowing that you won’t be in the same company saddens the both of you, but your mood brightens a little as you remembered that you’ll be seeing each other on music shows when you debut!

“Let’s meet each other in music shows, Minhyun!” “Yeah.”

(ok i know some trainees cant use phones??? But let’s pretend they can for the time being-)

As days go by, there hasn’t been a single moment where you’d doubt yourself into ever debuting

“Minhyun-ah, I don’t think I can do it, i’m not as talented. I want to quit..”

“You can’t! Y/N, this is our dream remember? You’re awesome, lovable, and you ARE talented ok?? Anyone who says otherwise can come fite me )):<”

Knowing you can always count on Minhyun to dissolve your worries, you divert the topic, “Yeah? You and what army? Because as far as I know, all you have is your pretty face! I DON’T SeE No muSCleS??”

“liSteN, 

everYONE WIll faint once they sEE M Y FACE OK? Don’t underestimate me, Emperor Hwang. I’ll have you know, I can predict the future.”

“And what do you see, Oh Mighty Emperor Hwang Minhyun-ssi?”

“I see that we both will have debuted already, we’ll meet on music shows, and we’ll always stay by each other’s side. Hyping each other up, doing what best friends do! Nothing will ever change that, trust the emperor.”

I’ll remember your words, Minhyun. You better not break them.

DEBUT DAY YOU MADE IT AND SO DID MINHYUN

You two were scheduled to perform your debut song on M!Countdown in two weeks

The first few days were of you two spamming congratulatory messages and crying to each other

However, the third day, it was only you spamming him. Fourth day, no reply, fifth? No reply.

You made excuses for him, He’s just busy. He couldn’t have forgotten about me already?? It’s too soon??? Maybe his phone got taken away….yeah, maybe..

A few days later, you were in need of some food, because you can’t cook. (lbr i cant cook, i really cant. This is based off on me? Somewhat? So if i offended your cooking skills, i am jeongmal, jinjja, daebak, real, heol, wanjeon sorry)

Walking into the supermarket, you accidentally bumped into someone who randomly stopped at the entrance. 

“Ah! Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundi- MinhYUN?? IS IT REALLY YOU? Why have you bEEN ignorING MY MESSAGES JERK!”

“Ah, hello! Sorry, it was my fault too, I lost my phone somewhere and how do you know me? Who are you?”

‘Who are you?’ ‘WhoareyouwhoareyouwhoareyOU’

Waving his hand in front of your face, “Hello? Miss? I have a schedule to go to, you see, I’m an idol, so I really have to go. I’m sorry for blocking your path! Have a nice day!” And he smiles that smile that you’ve grown fond of. Wait, what’s this? Is he pretending?? WHaT’s hAPPEninG?

Hours passed by, and the thought of Minhyun acting fake still remains in your head. What happened to him? Am I not worthy of his friendship anymore? Why is he like this?

“Review of some past events; NU’EST Minhyun -you snap out of your thoughts hearing his name- has recently been involved in a car accident, he….”

cAR ACcidENT??? WHY AM I ONLY HEARING OF THIS NOW?? 

Rushing to Pledis, in search for answers, you find Minhyun’s manager (he’s shown you a pic of his manager before). 

“Ah! Minhyun’s manager! WHAT HAPPENED TO MINHYUN? I’M Y/N HIS BEST FRIEND, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BESTIE.”

“Oh, Y/N-ssi! Did you run all the way here?? Sit down for a bit, I’ll tell you what happened.”

Minhyun was coming back from a schedule and the freeway was really hectic so they chose to go local. Bad decision, there was a drunk driver on the loose and Minhyun’s car was unfortunately chosen as the target. There was a miracle! Sort of. He didn’t have any major damages to his body, but he lost his memories of his past. From the day of the accident and back. You know what they say, people choose to forget their past to start anew. But he couldn’t have wanted to forget it, would he? I mean, you were a part of his past..

However, this is only temporary, he’d get his memories back soon. Hopefully. ???

The day of the music show, you were extremely tired. You even thought you’d end up with white hair with how worried you were about Minhyun’s well-being and pondering for days if he actually didn’t want to remember you. No, stop it Y/N. He would never want to forget you, he made a promise. He has to keep it, he has to..’

NU’EST performed first, you were praying for Minhyun to not mess up, even if he didn’t remember you, you remembered him. Even if he didn’t remember the promise, you did.

As they ended their performance, and walked down the stage, he passes by you and smiles at you. Then pauses, wait, “Hey! I remember you, you were the girl from the supermarket!”

You awkwardly smiled and agreed, he felt bad and wanted to repay you, so he grabs your arm -even though you’ve protested, it went into one ear and out the other- and stops you in front of a vending machine, “Pick one!” he smiles cutely.

After many futile attempts of stopping him from buying you a drink, he presses a button and a drink falls down, Shocked, that was your favorite drink. “How did you know that was the drink I like, Minhyun?”

“I- i don’t know? My hand just automatically pressed it..” His heart(?) remembers me..just gotta work on his mind. Confidence, UP!

You spilled your guts to him, told him evERYTHING. How you two were the best of friends, others were jealous of your friendship. How the both of you have made so many enemies, some tried to sabotage your friendship, but nothing can break the royal friendship between you two. 

Sadly, he doesn’t remember any of them. Nothing, nada, nah, no. ))):

You see a staff running towards your direction yelling that it’s almost your turn; turning to where Minhyun was sitting at, you see that he’s in the midst of his thoughts (he’s having flashybackys, he’s getting his memoriES BACK)

Not wanting to disturb him, you walk away to get ready for your performance.

You’re a solo artist AND the last one to perform, so that makes things more nerve-wracking. Everyone will be able to notice every. little. mistake you make. 

Trying to calm your racing heart, and failing miserably at that, you try to think of calming thoughts. However, the only thing you can think of is Minhyun nOT remembering you.

Shaky breaths, sweaty palms, racing heart, taking step by step up the stage, you feel a hand stop you. A familiar touch on your arm, Minhyun. 

“Hey, Y/N! Good luck out there, you can do it! Remember? We’ll meet on music shows, and we’ll always stay by each other’s side.” ‘Hyping each other up, doing what best friends do! Nothing will ever change that, trust the emperor.’ “Let’s hang out soon, we have a lot of catching up to do. MY BESTIE FIGHTING!”

He remembers. He.. he remembers! Stepping onto stage, in front of screaming fans, you perform with the biggest smile. All worries, disappeared.

unedited! this took awhile omg jakfjdna im such a procrastinator-

im very emo right now, i couldn’t really add angst into this.. or make this fluffy... BUT I MADE IT A HAPPY ENDING- it counts right... OTL

hoyaaaaaa TT^TT

i hope you like this, like really. i really really really (winner hAH) do ♡

NICOLE July 5, 2017 at 7:22 am Please stop using mental illness as an excuse to be an asshole. Mental illness does not force you to be horrible to people. Also remember Kanye was doing this long before his breakdown. Rap is built on beef so frankly I’m not surprised he came for Kanye. He came for his wife and by all gossip accounts Kimye are obsessed with Bey and Jay. 4:44 is pretty great and some of Jay’s best. It’s also more than this stupid beef MARIA F. July 5, 2017 at 7:31 am I totally agree. Maybe Kanye’s environment should have prevented him from performing in such a state, but of course, he is their cash cow. But even if he was not feeling well, Jay Z has the right to be offended by what was said. At the end of the day, i believe this is all about controversy and selling records. Everybody has been focused on that line since the album dropped. RENEE2 July 5, 2017 at 7:39 am Okay, Deriding people’s mental health issues is sh*tty and I don’t condone it. But I don’t understand why people are acting shocked at Jay-Z, as though he were of such staunch moral fiber before. The guy is smart, successful, and can be funny but he is also a mercenary, deeply misogynist, and frankly, more than a bit sleazy. I mean, people have heard his rhymes about women, right? Not to mention his profligate use of the nword. Dude is hardly PC. Kanye is also a douche. Again, how many times has he been offensive. This is another misogynist, and one who has used homophobic slurs in his rhymes although he professes to be queer positive. We’re supposed to forget all that because we now deem him to have mental health issues??? As Nicole stated, we should not give him a pass just because he is not well, dude is an *sshole, plain and simple. NICOLE July 5, 2017 at 7:49 am Exactly. People act like having a mental illness is a magic wand that makes people forgive and forget what you did easily. That’s not how that works. It doesn’t erase why you did or how people felt because of your actions. I tell clients this all the time. You cannot control how people react to you. Being mentally ill may give them a framework for more understanding but again it does not erase the action. And Kanye was an ass before this. So yep. DEM July 5, 2017 at 8:13 am “he is also a mercenary, deeply misogynist, and frankly, more than a bit sleazy. I mean, people have heard his rhymes about women, right?” Jay Zs lyrics on women are actually among the least misogynist of the genre. Two weeks ago we had an Eminem post and not only was there no mention of his violent lyrics against women, it was filled with “he is so cute” comments. And my post on his lyrics some of which threaten a specific woman by name were moderated out. But here we are, the instant the subject is a black dude…. Its “dude is hardly PC”. “Not to mention his profligate use of the nword”…..lmao As if the N-er word was not already on the tips of white tongues. Yes’ its the song about black people in Paris and not white peoples unadulterated hate thats the problem. Those black people who dont wish to reclaim ithe word are entitled to that opinion and should just not use it. I stand firmly and proudly in the reclaim camp. This site reclaims “bitchy”, gay people reclaim the F word and Its not your business that black men and women have reclaimed the N word. RENEE2 July 5, 2017 at 8:32 am @DEM, I can’t tell if you are trolling (I think you probably are) or not but here goes: 1) The point that I was making was that BOTH Jay-Z and Kanye have used problematic language so we shouldn’t be shocked if that Jay is being insensitive in this instance, nor should we necessarily be sympathetic to Ye in this instance because he has a history or being an insensitive clod too. 2) I can’t comment on the Eminem thread as I am also not here for that trick for numerous reasons, including his misogyny, so uh, nice try 3) Though I wasn’t critiquing Jay’s use of the nword, but rather was saying that his use of it demonstrates that he does not subscribe to notions of what is considered to be acceptable, I am also not here for that term. It is ugly, it is violent, and I don’t think that it’s something that Black people need to reclaim. I don’t know how you got that I was not Black from my comments but I am so you can step off with telling how I should feel about. ERINN July 5, 2017 at 8:47 am Dem - I know Em has been called out plenty on this site. He hasn’t gotten a big magical pass by any means. I don’t actually think I saw the recent Em post – and I’ve been on this site for like 5 years or more. Some posts slip through the cracks, or people are busy, or whatever. Personally I think Em is incredibly talented – but also someone who grew up with a really f—ed up life. It doesn’t excuse his behavior as an adult, but I also don’t look at him and think “he had every chance, and a healthy relationship with women, why is he talking this shit”. He was a mess, he’s gotten a lot better about certain things, but the Slim persona is played up so much, and a lot of awful things are said across so many categories. I tend to think of Jay similarly. He got dealt a sh-t hand growing up – he pulled himself up, but unfortunately his lyrics still are incredibly problematic at times. He’s still incredibly talented, and I don’t think his lyrics are an exact display of who he is as a person. I think most artists exaggerate like crazy and try to keep a persona kind of separate from their real life, but it doesn’t mean that it’s ‘okay’ that they say the things they do. I’m not writing him off as a person because of it though. As long as there is growth happening – that’s great. But if they suddenly devolve into a much worse place, then I’m going to have to stop supporting them as artists. KONFUSED July 5, 2017 at 9:28 am @Renee2 whether you are black or not is irrelevant when you say “I don’t think that it’s something that Black people need to reclaim”..you should step off on telling other people how you feel about their use of the N-word it really doesn’t matter if you approve of it or not SANDERS July 5, 2017 at 9:58 am Nicole, from previous posts including this one, it sounds like you are a therapist. I’m surprised you are minimizing JayZ use of words crazy and insane to describe someone with a mental illness. Of course people with a mental illness have to examine their behaviours and coping strategies etc, though in the midst of a breakdown, self awareness takes a back seat. Lets also hold JayZ responsible for his mocking of people with mental health issues and I encourage you to check out the excellent comments from Claire down below. Me= If she's a therapist, I don't want her as mine. She probably works for talkspace? RENEE2 July 5, 2017 at 10:56 am @ KONFUSED Why should I step off telling a poster how I feel about the word when said poster is putting words in my mouth and twisting what I wrote? And again, the reason that I mentioned my racial identity was because the poster stated that I wasn’t in a position to comment on Jay Z’s use of the nword because they assumed I was not Black. Everyone comes here to offer an opinion and get on our respective soapboxes so GTFO with telling me not to share my thoughts on a topic. BRIDGET July 5, 2017 at 11:20 am @Konfused – you’re coming off like you don’t actually have something to say and just want to be mean to someone to make yourself feel better. RENEE2 July 5, 2017 at 11:53 am @KONFUSED Yep, that’s me, the proverbial angry Black woman, lol. Hope it’s not too damp where you’re stationed under the bridge. @ Bridget, Thank you!! IDONTKNOWYOUYOUDONTKNOWME July 5, 2017 at 2:05 pm Well, for example borderline disorder and what is perceived as “a-holeish behavior” kindof come hand in hand RONALDINHIO July 5, 2017 at 5:03 pm Whilst you are all saying mental ill health doesn’t give you a pass I’m gonna have to stop ya Many of the behaviours that West exhibited could be signs of a growing mania and paranoia that could present or exist co morbidly with and anxiety disorder or depressive illness. As reported he may have bi polar disorder which might not have been accurately medicated. All or none of these things may have been his actual disorder and all may have been exacerbated by lack of sleep and over work. His grandiosity, rambling, hyper activity, sensitivity moving into paranoia psychosis or mania all sounds like it could be easily described by a mental health disorder. Ignoring the lack of control someone has during an episode of mental ill health or trying to blame them when they often have little control is poor form. LLAMAS July 5, 2017 at 10:51 pm Sick. I have BPD and have never been described as an a**hole. People with BOD treat themselves the worst. FLORC July 5, 2017 at 7:04 pm And being a jerk can be a sign of mental illness. You cannot know either way unless you are much much closer than a commenter here. Im reserving judgement. Kanye is outrageous a lot of the time and shows erratic behavior, but also has appeared to have experienced some incredibly traumatic events. That doesn’t get healed easily if ever.
