So that’s it, huh. Mira does a better job at stifling her tears than Zoey, but she still feels a few warm drops run down her cheeks. The hopes and dreams of being an idol at Sunlight Entertainment—hell, of being anything—are gone with a handwave from some guy in a suit and a paper that says “Thanks for auditioning”. Before she can storm out as quickly as possible to save what little face she has left, Mira turns on her heel and freezes at the sight of Celine, the CEO of Sunlight Entertainment, watching her. That odd woman with the purple braid and mask floats behind her, eyes gleaming. “Mira. Zoey.” Celine steps towards them. “Before you leave, I have an offer I’d like you to consider.”

Or: When Mira and Zoey, both running from difficult pasts, audition to become idols at Sunlight Entertainment (famous for its mysterious headliner idol Hunter) and fail, all hopes of meeting and training under Hunter go out the window until Celine makes them a different, surprise offer: train under Celine’s unknown ward Rumi instead.

(“Why us?” Zoey asks.

“Honestly,” Rumi says, “I think you're both really weird.”

Oh. Mira might kill her.)

Entirely Self Indulgent video because I read the lyrics and thought 'this is Rumi what if I put her thru all the pain all over again'

[art-the-f-up]

i am. screaming

oh my GOD AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Holy shit??? screaming crying wailing this is incredible

So first off, the grayscale??? Hello??? Deliberately making everything grayscale EXCEPT THE ROSES, I'M CRYING - it's such a perfect composition move and so heartbreaking and how dare you it's wonderful and i'm upset

And then the expressions - you nailed everything about this scene perfectly, the outfits and Mira and Zoey holding each other close (Mira's hand tangled in Zoey's hair!!!!) and their surprise plus a little bit of fear, because they weren't meant to get caught - and then to RUMI, with her eyes wide and watering and she's not crying but you can just. FEEL the upset, and the hurt, and the quiet and devastating realization

You pulled it straight out of my head, this is incredible, THANK YOU - I'm so so honored <3

I wanted to ask - could I possibly embed this into the actual scene in the fic with credit?

[Spoilers for chapter 9 of It Will Come Back by @warehouseorphandanvers ]

"So, this is you." Zoey says.

Rumi turns to face Zoey, who is watching her intently. Zoey's eyes dart around cataloging every part of her that she can see. Tracking the patterns from her abs up to her neck and across her face, her mussed purple hair, her pointed ears, canines that are too long, and her deep brown eyes; eventually she settles on her cracking golden scars.

Rumi hums, "This is me."

~~~~~~~

I drew these a bit ago and have been sitting on them for too long, so you get both together! The first one is zoey's pov for sure haha. never underestimate the power of a cheesy plant pun shirt 🪴

thank you K for this fic, it's definitely among my favorite AUs and a joy to return to when I want some fluff and to laugh at these girls being dorks around each other

[chrysa3tos]

would be soooo cool if huntr/x won a few grammies just like my other fave music trio, just sayin'

[chrysa3tos]

since y'all liked my previous boygenius-styled huntr/x so much, here's a rumi drawing from a couple months ago. as you can see, the brainworms have only gotten stronger...,,

[chrysa3tos]

thinking about them

[chrysa3tos]

just reread it will come back for the hundredth time and it never stops being silly how down bad zoemira are for the world's dorkiest demon

[chrysa3tos]

it's their moment!!! ✨🌟👑💫

(timelapse below the cut)

kpdh digital artbook just dropped oh my god

[chrysa3tos]

[chrysa3tos]

Previously on Switch Up These Vibes... A magical accident during a demon fight swapped their souls!

Rumi

Having the worst 18 hrs of her life, but at least she didn't run when her patterns and demonic powers were revealed. Wants to tell her girls everything and feels deserving of their ire.

Zoey

Doing her best to understand the situation and piece together wtf just happened. Needs Rumira to talk it out ASAP before someone gets stabbed. Can reach the highest shelves now!

Mira

Also having the worst 18 hrs of her life, feeling betrayed and lied to by Rumi and slighted by Zoey's efforts to reconcile the group. Using exercise to cope while blasting her "Fuck You, Rumi" playlist at max volume.

~~~~~~

What started as a doodle of Zoey's Nutella experiment from the opening scene of chapter 8 turned into all this. This fic is so good y'all, I just can't get enough of the body swap shenanigans with some light angst on the side. Kudos to @fox-plum for your big wrinkly brain giving us this fic.

[Mild spoilers for chapter 4 of On Your Side!]

i really love when fics explore the important and honest conversations between these three post movie-canon, and this one in particular from chapter 4 of on your side wouldn't leave my head until i made uhhh a whole comic about it. so! here you go. rumi is still learning how to accept unconditional love, but zoey and mira are happy to be patient with her.

endless thank you's to @kayr0ss for encouraging me and also inspiring me with your incredible writing! you are an exceptionally skilled writer and i'm beyond excited to read the final chapter of this wholesome fic soon~

thanks for reading y'all - now go read on your side!

[chrysa3tos]

in honor of @kayr0ss posting the final chapter & beautiful epilogue to on your side (let's go to a wedding) today, here's the first fanart i made for this fic~

there's a scene in chapter 2 where rumi and mira first step into zoey's childhood home and see all of the photos of zoey growing up – glimpses into her life before huntr/x. but then they spot a photo of the three of them, a candid selfie zoey snapped from their debut, framed and sitting nestled in zoey's parents' house like it belongs there. like they belong there.

and ouuughh THAT is the scene that totally sucked me into this story. i was like, oh this author Gets It, the rest is history~ thank you kay for your beautiful writing. on your side is 100% my comfort fic and i'm so thrilled to have gotten to follow along with this story!

[chrysa3tos]

And it feels so good to be known so well

I can't hide from you like I hide from myself

I remember who I am when I'm with you

Your love is tough, your love is tried,

Your love is true blue
