Nesting is a thing in omegaverse, but there’s no such thing as 'building' a nest. A nest is just a bunch of stuff with packmates’ scents on them. It’s like putting a damp towel on someone who has a fever.

Please imagine Moondae grumpily buried under various blankets and memorabilia.

Bae Sejin took his back halfway bc he needed his blanket to sleep. Eugene offers his football on one memorable occasion. Chungwoo always has a hard time offering anything bc he doesn’t want to give Moondae anything dirty (but it needs to be unwashed). Lee Sejin keeps on wanting Moondae to keep it for longer so when he gets it back he might figure out what Moondae smells like. Ahyeon takes this chance to give Moondae clothing and blankets and just not take them back. Raebin always offers a different old Asian grandma quilt

Got Dropped in a Ghost Story + Debut or Die crossover where the brainworm system got hack by a temporal ghost story and TeSTAR are all trapped in a parallel dimension where their group doesn't exist. Moondae relies on Daemoon in the system (he's knowledgeable about them in a weird way...?) to progress. The system itself wants to be rid of its paranormal intruder so it needs Moondae as much as Moondae needs it.

All of their idol traits carry over, with sometimes unexpected effects on ghost stories. Bacchus appears as a consumable in a custom shop. Discerning Ear becomes a way for Moondae to figure out whether an entity is human or not.

Oh, and TeSTAR members are stuck in various ghost stories and Moondae has to go rescue them. Maybe they join Daydream Inc. Maybe Moondae is a freelancer and playing all three sides.

And do we really know if Daemoon is human? When he's in a contaminated system? Who knows?

Incredibly funny to me how Ryu Chungwoo was stuck in purgatory for the entirety of Idol.Inc with occasional pitiful glances across enemy lines

PMD really will look at one of his besties and go ‘he’s definitely mad at me for a solo appearance and totally not freaking out about me LITERALLY DYING AND COMING BACK TO LIFE'

Yeah. That’s totally what it is.

Scenting is considered more casual in the West, and more intimate in Korea. It's basically hugging but now both of you have to smell each other. A lot of people wear scent patches or perfume to cover up their scent if it's unpleasant. It's not rare in the entertainment industry to have a different scent for your persona than your actual person (treated the same way as a stage name, like Cheongryeo).

Lee Sejin keeps a semi-mental catalogue of people's scents. Ahyeon writes them down in his journal. Eugene is actually p good at catching scents (more of an intuition thing than actual senses), but he doesn't kiss and tell. Bae Sejin dislikes the whole ritual and prefers not to do it (unless it's on his terms) (this has improved since his character development). Chungwoo actually really likes scenting good-smelling people, but it's kinda invasive so he doesn't say anything. Kim Raebin is noseblind (not actually, but he may as well be).

Moondae pretends he doesn't have scent preference or association, but he definitely does and it's really obvious. He likes Ahyeon and Chungwoo's scent the most, and Bae Sejin and Eugene's scents the least. When he's in a bad mood, Bae Sejin's vanilla smell gives him a headache. He calls Raebin a lemon-related nickname in his head whenever he comments on him being a good slave

Bae Sejin, having arguably his first Goat moment: Moondae!!!! Did I do well? 🥺

Park Moondae, internally reminding himself that other people were also in the car crash: …yeah.

I did read a post somewhere that Debut or Die and Got Dropped Into a Ghost Story was in the same universe but suddenly seeing VTIC and Saint U show up is absolutely HYSTERICAL

If Cha Eugene wasn’t language nerfed the series would be cut in half

Dude I cannot think of a better writing decision than having Lee Sejin believe Moondae and Seon Ahyeon NOT believe him

[punkypinkpup]

im so in love with whoever monitors and wrote the debut or die wiki.

Like, this quality is basically Park Moondae levels of detail it's like he wrote it himself.
