Fic rec! The Ex in Exorcism. 10/10 funny Rumira https://archiveofourown.org/works/85209876

yes! it's very good.

Feat demon Rumi who somehow manages to be devastatingly hot and funny, and a soft mushy pathetic lovergirl, all at once

[assortedbowloffruit]

in honor of yannie day i've drawn a regular normal rumi having a great day gripping your shoulder. this is your sign to read a york([Y]annie + w[ORK]) today. possibly multiple if you feel so inclined. yannie day.

(also please don't talk about ch5 of lonely lavender bones on this post. i haven't read it yet, so if you do i will have to obliterate you with my psychic hammer. and not in a fun and whimsy way.)

Pull me to the ground chapter 2

Two women step in when a guy gets pushy with Rumi at a bar. What happens after is meant to be a one-night stand, nothing more.

[sleepy-noodle-96]

It’s been a while, but I decided to write a small Rumira one shot, featuring useless gay Rumi and confused gay Mira 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ao3 Link - ‘And They Were Roommates’

[assortedbowloffruit]

(loosely based on the tags dremenec left on one of my posts three days ago i don't know if this is what they meant, but when i read the tags A Lingering Image™ entered my head and i have not been able to get it out)

[assortedbowloffruit]

you see it. you see my vision

[dremenec]

Going back to how every Huntrix has a different traversal mechanic........

Rumi's is she can go into dark rooms

Zoey can climb through vents

Mira can scale knee-high walls

But the kicker is that you only get a limited time to do your tasks/puzzles

Because there's a "separation anxiety" bar that depletes while you leave the other two standing around

If you let the bar drop completely, they all burst into tears and the game bricks itself entirely

[assortedbowloffruit]

it's for your own safety, mira. you Need to wear the hats (+the shorter the wall the funnier it is that they can't cross it. i love videogame logic where the cool action hero inexplicably Cannot Jump)

[dremenec]

Rumi is in the wrong genre entirely but she's living her best life

Owing to the tight development timeline, the infinite backpack glitch was never discovered or patched

[assortedbowloffruit]

i see your 'Rumi has no idea what genre they're actually in' and i raise you 'Zoey ALSO has no idea what genre they're actually in' (on account of the hayfever)

(+spinning around these tags from frog4278 in my mind. i am not immune to fashionista mira propaganda. by which i mean the s-aint-elmo fashionista mira posts were so powerful that they instantly made fashionista mira canon in my heart forever)

[dremenec]

See you think the survival horror element of the game is the zombies and traps and haunted duck rides BUT it is also the puzzles and challenges, which are crafted specifically to psychologically traumatize each player character (especially fashion suffering s-aint-elmo mira)

(They also tried chucking Zoey over the ankle-high walls but she splattered against the invisible barrier

(However this did lead them to unlock a secret move called fastball special where Rumi can launch Zoey directly into enemies for an instakill.

(It only works if she manages to hit them.

(Which has yet to happen, but they try))))

[assortedbowloffruit]

the existence of non-zoerumi contacts that mira can send embarrassing outfit pictures to implies that the other kpdh characters are also somewhere out there (i choose to believe everyone else is just chilling on a beach while they wander the haunted amusement park of ambiguous size)

+ bonus tags from frog4278

[frog4278]

Look at my party dawg we're gonna die!!!!!

Mira's outfit reminded me of Marinette from Miraculous Ladybug for some reason so that's why she's there. We can just say she's an NPC party member

[dremenec]

Playing as Mira is basically hard mode because you have two needy characters showing you stuff and accidentally inflicting fatal status effects (they're arguably more dangerous than the actual enemies)

(desc in alt if you can't read my handwriting)

And a sneak peak at the loading screen (featuring return of tricycle Zoey (I only have one joke (and the joke is "Zoey is short")))

fishing minigame brainrot activate. the fishing minigame requires players to wear the ugly fishing outfit

+spinning around the vague idea of divorce mechanics in my head

[frog4278]

Obsessed obsessed with both of your art styles especially you assortedbowloffruit your art is so simple yet clean and detailed mwah mwah

and @dremenec I saw your post after I got off of work yesterday and it literally made my entire night I want you to know that. AND THE ANIMATION IS ADORABLE!!!!!!

Big fan of the implication that Marinette is some sort of curse that only YOU can see after recovering from Divorce and the others can't see her unless they also go through Divorce. Like the Social Bunny from Sims 2 where you just look insane

Mira out here with the Fear and Hunger level of status effects if she doesn't find a stash of Monster soon she's COOKED

[dremenec]

They're way too overencumbered to carry her, but there are ways and means, ways and means indeed...

Talk about a FLASH light ha ha ha ha

(this game is not beating the E for Everyone allegations

(but you know it's a good immersive sim when the answer to a puzzle is "induce gay thirst"

(if rumi and mira are divorced at this point the game flips a coin to decide if you are permanently softlocked or whether an unskippable reunion cutscene plays

(the cutscene has been banned in several countries for reports of inducing seizures

(and spontaneous homosexuality)))))

[assortedbowloffruit]

i am not immune to honglock propaganda. by which i mean i saw the honglock posts and folded immediately. netflix, please give zoey a honglock in kpop demon hunters 2 (context for this iteration of the honglock)

+the honglock posts in question [1] [2]

[frog4278]

PEAK ONCE AGAIN YOU NEVER MISS DUDE !!!!!!!

When Zoey gets divorced she becomes a magical girl to earn back her gfs (Zoey can also now see Marinette and she becomes Ladybug to help)

Meanwhile when Mira gets divorced this is what happens

If Mira fails the fight everyone is put into a Date Everything -esque dating sim where Mira has to win back the love of Rumi and Zoey lest they gets stolen by the other objects

KPop Demon Hunters Fic Authors - do you think it'd be neat if podfics of your fics existed? Podficcer community culture AND the ao3 terms of service both agree we need your express permission to post podfics - Please let us know they're wanted by publicly posting (in your ao3 profile is a great place) a fanworks permission statement!

Check out @fanworkspermissionstatement for an easy statement builder and a very well done FAQ on permission statements! In addition to podfic, fanworks permission statements are a great place to post how you feel about translations, fan binds, art, and even more! You can also state if you'd like to be asked first, any other nuance that suits your preferences, or if you aren't comfortable with any of the above derivative fanworks.

One of the largest podfic events of the year kicks off this weekend and runs through the month of May - so while there's never a bad time to add a permission statement, now is an incredible time to do so!

author rec: dream_paladin

for mara day today, i would like to share some of my favourite works by the one and only @dreampaladin (aka dream_paladin on ao3)!

i wasn't there but i know

this fic is near and dear to my heart. it's the very first fics i read from mara and, honestly, it lives in my brain rent free. it explores zoey and mira's trauma from after the idol awards and how they handle them. the characterization of both mira and zoey are so good and when i got to the end i almost ran into mara's dms to ask her for some more (pretty please). i've read it probably more than fifteen times at this point and enjoy it every time!

i'll angel in the snow (until i'm worthy)

i'm not great about talking about smutty fics in general so this is going to be a short rec letter, but i feel like all you need to know is: one bed trope, snow, and so. much. fluff. also hurt/comfort, which i always find delicious in smut.

afterimage of a lightning strike

software engineer mira. hacker zoey. model rumi. i don't really think i need to say more than that, and possibly let you know that if i could add a gif to my reaction to this fic it would be a cat chewing on the bars of their enclosure. oh wait there is one more thing. cyberpunk au!!! it's delicious, it's got cool formatting, and the characterization is so damn good it got me hooked immediately. please please add this to your list IMMEDIATELY!

last but not least, we've got mara's fic from today. i haven't had a chance to finish it, but i kept taking small breaks during work to keep reading this because i just couldn't stop: when you look at me (i'm your saint)

aside from being a wonderful writer, mara is also one of the kindest, sweetest, and funniest people i've had the pleasure to meet in this fandom. she leaves the world's longest comments, loves things fiercely, and is never shy about hyping other people up.

thank you for everything you are and what you bring to this world and this fandom, mara. i adore you endlessly!

Ao3 author spotlight: dream_paladin (@dreampaladin)!

hi i'm back in the building to recommend an author who spends so much time giving to the community and uplifting people that i think it's fair we spend some time giving back. as a heads up all of dream_paladin's works are locked so you do need an Ao3 account and to be logged in to view them! but it's well worth it, i assure you

i've already given up on myself twice [T] [Polytrix] [Complete]

rumi doesn't let people take care of her

i love a good fic about injuries and this is exactly that, Rumi hiding injuries from Mira and Zoey. it's a bitesized fic and yet it's so packed full of characterisation for all three of them, and Celine too!

it's extra impressive because there's no dialogue. it's pure introspection from Rumi while she's going about making these choices, a real deep dive into what leads a person to behave like that. excellent work.

i wasn't there (but i know) [G] [Polytrix] [Complete]

Zoey and Mira have their own things to work through about the Idol Awards

the idol awards weren't just traumatic for Rumi and i adore it when any fic looks into the impact it had on Mira and Zoey. i love it when it's not brushed over. they're all so hurt by what happened, and this is an excellent look at how their individual flaws and trauma responses make it so difficult for them to take care of each other.

(don't) handle me with care [T] [Polytrix] [Complete]

Rumi has a nightmare about the Idol Awards and their aftermath. Mira and Zoey don't let her run away again.

me, liking a 'Rumi has nightmares' fic? say it ain't so.

it's hard to believe this is the first time the author has written a poly relationship cos it just feels so natural. i love all the little details put in that aren't directly brought up but really inform you of Rumi's emotional state before, during, and after the events of the movie. it's so cleanly interwoven into the narration. you'd have me down, down, down (on my knees) [E] [Polytrix] [Complete]

Polytrix smut, with pre-op and post-op Rumi

maybe this is my own ignorance showing or just a fact of previous fandoms i've been in but i've never seen a fic go into such loving and clear detail about the pre-op to post-op journey of transwomen, especially as it pertains to sex.

the trans part of the narrative is so tightly woven into the canon story around shame and guilt and they work together so beautifully to form an incredible story that only enhances the message of the movie.

i went into it expecting smut and i definitely got that (good grief did i definitely get that) but i also got all of the emotions around it, and left with a genuinely better understanding of how that journey can feel

i don't like comparing fics but if you like the medical accuracy and unflinching detail of lonely lavender bones i really, really recommend this.

on top of being a fantastic author she's also a wonderful person to be around and someone who always makes an active effort to uplift the people around her, either through art or just avid support. the comments she leaves on fics kill me dead every single time.

get loved, nerd

[honestground]

Excited to see how polytrix in Show Me happens and how FDZ is gonna woo Dr. Babygirl Rumi since she already has Mira (sort of)

And the idea of Dr. Babygirl telling Celine she has not one but two girlfriends by the end is *chef's kiss* and also hilarious

Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next chapter :)

i've actually already written a lil ficlet set in show me canon's future where rumi tells celine about them!! i'm looking forward to writing some dr babygirl-pov stuff. these bitches have me in a chokehold

i generally don't advertise where i'm at in the writing process bc complaining feels pointless (apologies to mouse and soda who talked me off multiple ledges) and it also feels like i'll jinx myself if it's actually going well. but man it was a slog getting through this chapter, i had a hard time motivating myself when i felt like i'd lost all momentum on it. i definitely made the most progress on it these past 2ish weeks despite me chipping away at it since like. fucking january

anyway thank u so much, rly glad it was worth the frustrated tears

u can always count on mira being a gay disaster in every chapter. i hope you enjoyed!!!!

thank you pal, and i'm sorry about your friend <3
