Just uni student doing whatever, trying myself in some fanfiction and lately digital art but just tiny bit

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Sometime after Idols Awards Rumi finally came to talk to Celine.

Cause both of them was stubborn and really couldn't fully hear themselves, it ended in screaming match more than reconcile.

In burst of emotion Rumi screamed "I'm sorry for being the worst thing that happen to you!"

There was long pause after it. Celine face get from shocked to full of grief and pain, some resignation.

Then gently, so gently, she said "Rumi, oh Rumi"

Celine came close to Rumi, slowly like to wounded deer you don't want to scare, with little teary smile and hold her face like the most precious treasure in the world.

"My sweet little Rumi, you're the best thing that ever happened to me"

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

She's like "it can't be truth cause the best thing that happen to her was Mi-yeong and Third" (strong Polylight beliver) but also "She love Rumi so much and she's all what's left of her Mi'yeong" and both are true and it hurt even more.

I love that there is some part of fandom that are fully very much convinced that Rumi is afraid of snakes there is great fic about it (https://archiveofourown.org/works/85779226) but also i think it's great headcanon not only for Rumi being a cat but also because it added even more silly Rumi energy but it also nice to see her to be scared of something so grounded

[noodlejaq]

I just think it'll be neat for whatever Miyeong lives AU, she's not the perfect mom and is so much more complex. Like, you would think she's not going to be even more paranoid/overprotective towards Rumi when she's a half demon child. Where theres the likely hood of other hunters, even demons are going to take/hunt down said child.

Miyeong who lives and has the complexity makes it more impactful, no? That's her bio daughter and she's Rumi's bio mom.

[fakelawyerbug]

Yup yup.

Plus the added stress of fan vitriol and media judgment for daring to have a child while being an Idol and out of wedlock. Which I imagine would be so much worse on both her and Rumi because there isn't the buffer of Miyeong's tragic death.

[noodlejaq]

Youre not hiding these in the tags

[Oh yeah, I dont mind Miyeong raises Rumi stories too.]

Mhmm, giving birth doesnt make you a good parent. It takes a lot of trial and error, that there are points in time the birth parent will unintentionally hurt their kid.

It can be such an interesting hookline for complicated Miyeong, who isnt exactly a bad parent but not good either. Bcs at the end of the day, she's still a human who will make mistakes. Also, assuming the vitriol she and Rumi gets, that pressure is a lot. Didnt even touch whether Celine and thirdlight knows or will themselves involve in this.

The saving grace for her and Rumi in the movie is bcs she died, so most people are not going to talk shit about dead parent leaving behind their baby.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Ok let's be real Mi-yeong in cannon is perfect mother cause she's dead. Her only wrongdoing was leven Rumi alone (even if not fully alone but you know what i meant) like obviously she can't male the same mistakes as Celine CAUSE SHE'S DEAD.

And to be fully honest o think Mi-yeong would be even more paranoic about Rumi but it all kinda depends on what backgroud we choose.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Actually thinking about @fakelawyerbug post (have a link guys) i started to think how girls will understand how kind industry are for them now.

Like there always was some of urban legends of how bad idols have then, but it was something they saw as unrealistic, something that was just for showing how bad old generations have (something like parents road to school)

But seeing how strict are managers about diet how Sunlight Sisters need to think more of what their label let them show and perform and not what they want to actually write? It kinda shock them, seeing how much Celine changed for them so they won't suffer like them.

How much of freedom they have it wasn't something they expected. And tbh i think after all it hurt Zoey the most, cause she then saw how much better Sunlight Sister music could be, but it was stopped cause it need to be safe, it need to sell they couldn't experiment, they can't afford it.

[fakelawyerbug]

I think SLS definitely would have notebooks and demos of songs that management didn't allow them to produce and they had to just shove into a box and forget about.

And 100% Celine still has those boxes just waiting for someone to dig through and re-discover and finally produce.

(Rumi and Mira having to drag Zoey away from the boxes so she doesn't forget what the sun looks like and so she eats something)

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Seeing as Zoey is one of biggest SLS fans existing, finding this box will be like finding holy grail. It was the most important, amazing peace of media ever created. She hold it more carefully than Hunters old scrolls that are one wrong touch from crumpling.

When she first touched this notebooks her hands was shaking so bad. The most sacred possibly soon lost media.

Draging Zoey from reading it all was a challenge Rumi needed to bribe her with food and promise that Celine will tell some of her childhood stories (even if she's not happy about that but even Celine got concerned if she ever will let this box free).

"then there would be something tieing her to celine other than affection for a dead woman"

huntrix (+ celine? maybe?) time travel au right after the idol awards but rumi just looks at this woman who is supposedly her mother and all she can think is "that's it?".

She ends up spending most of her time with young Celine, who is just as devoted to Miyeong as she would be in the future. Rumi doesn't get it, doesn't get what's so great about this woman. What was it about her that could make someone as amazing as Celine spend her whole life catering to a ghost. She was selfish and rude and sometimes overbearing, nothing like the picture-perfect portrait Celine painted for her.

Oof.

I think what would strike Rumi is just how *young* the three of them seem. Now, at 25, she's only a few years older, but looking at them, she feels like she's looking at kids.

Her mother is a little too naive and confident. Energetic but in a way that was exhausting.

Celine's cheeks still had a layer of baby fat and she hadn't learned how to be comfortable with her stature.

And she knows in a year or two, Miyeong will be dead and Celine will have to raise a baby alone and --

Rumi barely feels like an adult right now. She can't imagine having a child and taking care of a baby.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Ok but also let's imagine Rumi finally first time seeing just how much Celine was in love, like hear me out it's obvious this womam linger for ghost half of her life, but this time it's not drained in grief and pain. Cause she look at her mother like the most important person in a world (next to thirdlight, you can pray polylight from my cold hands).

And it scared her cause she see a little herself in Celine or more Celine in her, but also Celine is so much more. Rumi didn't think she saw someone more in love with someone (Mira was close but well her and Celine are scarily similar no matter how they don't want to admit it)

And Rumi couldn't understand, someone who was glorified as well best woman to be alive was just... irresponsible barely adult, that was actually second shock. Rumi just understood how young they all were. Like all of them don't felt like adult adult well The adult always was Celine and now she looked more like kid than super composed woman she was.

After that she finally understand how much loosing her soulmates changed her mentor and it hurt her deeply. In this short time she saw Celine smiling more than in her whole life.

[evilyoyo]

I know the common consensus is that Celine was the leader of the Sunlight Sisters but I shall put forth my own headcanon;

Celine was branded as the visual, acted like the leader behind the scenes but was mostly the song writer.

I’m fond of the idea that the reason Huntrix has exactly zero problems with the rest of the industry is because Celine MADE it that way for them. That she lived through the entire horrible industry and wanted to make sure that Rumi (and whoever was with her) wouldn’t have the same problems.

Which means I think the Sunlight Sisters were held back a lot by the industry at the time. Celine had no interest in being front and center as the visual, but the record label made her fill that role. She was naturally a leader when it came to hunting activities but the Label thought of her as too hard headed for it. She was the most talented at writing and while a lot of her lyrics were always too much, that’s what made the Sunlight Sisters stand out so that stayed. (Even as most of Celine’s work ended up getting used by other bands)

I like this idea for multiple reasons. I like the idea that she’s able to connect to each ‘role’ that the girls must fit into and how to help them with it. The idea that Celine, who seems very emotionally stoic, is able to write deeply emotional songs while forcing herself to not connect the dots on who or what she’s writing about is a fun one. 

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Your post made me thinking about how many people even know Celine as well lyricist. I would like to think it wasn't like big secret or something but also Celine already has role is Sunlight Sisters so their Label decided to just tell the public that some of their songs are written by her but it's mostly divided between them. So most people don't even know it's her songs and she's fine with that she like anonymity. That mean she can write about anything and probably there will be some band who will take it.

And after Mi-yeong death and let's say disappearance of thirdlight Celine stopped performing.

She literally refused singing in public without rest of her souls. 

But emotions don't stopped and pain and grief only grew, even with little Rumi her only light in life. But she couldn't sing, couldn't dance so the only thing that was left for her was writing. 

Even with all money her idol life get her opening her own label was big thing so to secure herself she sell some of her texts everything under another name. Celine didn't want people to know that was her songs they were too personal too hurtful too raw, but it will secure Rumi's future.

And it's not pop songs anymore it's the most hurtful, heart wrenching ballads you would ever heard. 

And i try to imagine myself how after canon it came out. Cause it could go in nice way or hurt way. 

So one way is after movie Rumi (and girls) want to repair their relationship with Celine. Once she decided to make a little clean of her old boxes and Rumi wanted to see some old things her not mother have from her youth (she was deeply touched how much of her own things Celine treasured for years). There is a lot of old photo albums some cassettes they would definitely watch later. Zoey found some draft of song and, much to her surprise, she recognized that song. It was one of her favorite not something she usually listen, it helped her when her grandma died. But how? she was sure that Sunlight Sisters never even met the band that done it. Celine told them that she wrote that song not long after Mi-yeong death. And girls are like "what?" "what do you mean?" and Celine told them that she never stopped writing that a lot of her writing was actually singed by everyone but not them.

and second scenario is like similar but this time something happen to Celine and they need to check something like idk old medical record cause obv it could be somewhere in her office and then they find songs and old photos and they barely recognize Celine. It wasn't official photos it was private and girls think they never saw her so happy and careless like on that photographs.

Werewolf Celine:

Takes out my blender and dusts it off. In an attempt to get the bell from werewolf Celine to make a new charm, the trio research ways to weaken her.

Wolfsbane is hard to get, so they opted to using silver net.

Rumi being the sneakiest readies herself to throw the net while Mira and Zoey becomes the bait.

The wolf wakes up and snarls at the so very wrong scents.

She will not let these, intruders, hurt her pack

She was about to leap towards them before she was captured in a net.

It was wrong. It hurts. Pain. Burning pain.

The trio was horrified what the silver net is doing towards Celine as she writhes in pure agony.

Her matted fur burning away and the net seems to sizzle into her skin.

Rumi immediately tries to get the net off of her.

She didn't mean to hurt her. It was said silver is meant to weaken werewolves. Not hurting them!

(It is weakening them. But not in the way the girls thought.)

Celine howls in pain and all she can think of is to protect her dead pack.

She thrashes and tries to get the burning net off of her. She snaps at these frantic foreign hands, not knowing the girls are trying to get the net off of her.

The trio hands are marred with Celine's blood.

They have to get it off her or else.

Celine starts to get weaker from the blood loss and pain.

She crawls towards the graves and the little bell, whining the whole way.

She didnt even hear the girls begging her to stay still, so that they can take the net off of her.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

I can see it in sight of my mind, Celine after everything after she finally was able to shift back, her body painted in net (literally) of scars that could make her prison in her own house. Cause she wasn't very out person but even before she attracted a lot of attention she was famous retired idol after all and still there was people who recognized her, but now it doesn't matter if someone recognized her, everything people saw was her scars and she can't even blamed her, she can't look at herself in mirror so it's obvious that random people would feel grossed by her, but it didn't make it hurt less.

[lady-of-the-spirit]

In regard to your "Celine is actually Rumi's bio mom but no one but the sunlight sisters knew" au. I imagine Celine just...disappears after the events of the idol awards. Huntr/x decides to cut contact with her for the time being, so they can sort things out amongst themselves. After a few months, the girls decided it was finally time to talk to Celine.

But when they finally arrived at the hanok...nobody was there. From the training grounds to even Mi-Yeong's grave. Nothing. But it's been months, if Celine was truly gone then more people would have noticed. After some investing, they found out from her secretary that Celine is currently in France. (I like the headcanon that has Celine grew up in France before joining the Sunlight sisters) Rumi goes through a myriad of emotions as she tries to call Celine again, time differences be damned! After a few minutes, someone finally picks up but it wasn't their mentor...it was someone else. An angry voice that told Rumi that Celine doesn't want to speak to her before hanging up.

And that's about all I got.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH (the post in question)

Celine would absolutely vanish after the idol awards. after just being able to confirm Rumi and the girls are okay, alive, she respects their wishes to not contact them, and just. disappears. the confrontation with Rumi, all of this, just brought everything she had ever been running from back to the surface. (her daughter asked her to kill her. her daughter thought she could ever hurt her. she had hurt her daughter, driven her to this point, making her think Celine didn't love her when she does, she loves Rumi so much, her loving Rumi is why Rumi lived past her first day of life, but looking at Rumi and her patterns only ever reminds Celine of the worst experience of her life, her weakness and failures. even when it brought Celine her beloved daughter, she can't look at the patterns without remembering.)

she knows she messed up, she knows how much she's failed them, and they don't even know how much she's lied to them all, so she can't tell them now. she can't make herself the victim.

the best thing to do is to leave.

OOF OKAY HMM who is the person on the phone.......

most obvious option is Thirdlight. in my daydreams about this au I imagined her being dead, and generally I dislike aus where Thirdlight is still alive bc it usually is to make her the cool aunt and bash on Celine in the process. BUT I am open to it. alternatives: 1) Thirdlight and Celine having some big fight in the aftermath of Rumi's birth (and Mi-Yeong's death) and Thirdlight quitting the idol world and rarely if ever having contact with Celine in the following years but either Celine tracking her down all "I didn't know where else to go" or Thirdlight, after watching the shitshow of the idol awards on tv (and dealing with her own demons??), tracking CELINE down wanting to know what the hell happened/if Celine is okay, finding her in France... or 2) Celine and Thirdlight stayed together despite Thirdlight's reservations about raising Rumi and faking her being Mi-Yeong's kid but eventually Thirdlight backed out of the idol world, thinking Celine would be okay handling things by herself, with calls on holidays, postcards, sometimes visiting, never giving Rumi a hint about her true parentage. Thirdlight immediately calls Celine up in the aftermath of the idol awards, wanting to know what the fuck happened and being faced with Celine devastated, borderline suicidal in a way Thirdlight hasn't seen since Celine confirmed her pregnancy all those years ago.

other options??? uhhhh Celine has had family members in some fics I've seen, I remember one where she had a brother she was still close with. oof what a horrible extended family reunion. I generally believe that Celine had pretty trash parents but??? siblings aren't out of the question.

I'm very uncreative atm so oc sibling or Thirdlight are my main two options rn but maybe there's a secret third option. thank you for sending this PLEASE feel free to send more thoughts 👀❤️

Mira wants kids but Rumi doesn’t and neither can understand the other. Zoey is just trying her hardest to steer clear of it all.

It isn’t until Rumira get into a veritable screaming match that reaches its pinnacle with,

“Having a baby ended my mother’s life, Mira! Excuse me for wanting all of us alive! To hell with a baby!”

that Zoey comes running in between them to stop anyone from saying anything else. Mira and Rumi are nearly chest to chest, breathing hard with tears of frustration pricking at their eyes when Zoey inserts herself and forces them both back a few steps.

There was many land mines in that conversation and playing Switzerland hadn’t saved Zoey from the explosion anyway so she says, “We either talk about this in therapy or we don’t talk about it at all,” staring Rumira down in equal measure until they relent.

With a huff, Rumi and Mira turn in opposite directions to leave but Zoey’s not done.

“Stop.” They freeze. “Apologize. Both of you.” They glance at one another and promptly look away.

“You two let the argument get out of hand enough that I HAD to step in as mediator so no one is going anywhere until I see some hugs, a kiss, AND some apologies.”

Given how fraught the situation was, Zoey let them get away with derivatives of “I love you, I’m sorry”s but usually she’d have them say what they were sorry for and how they were gonna change in the future.

And while she did promise to let them leave after the apologies, she changed her mind at the last second. She drags them to their shared room (formerly Rumi’s room) and gestures to the bed, “Actually, it’s mandatory cuddle time. Rumi will hold Mira for thirty minutes and then you’ll swap,”

Rumira both begin to protest but Zoey’s answering glare is enough for them to change into something more comfortable and start their cuddle sentence.

It takes all of five minutes for Mira to lose the tension that had been bunching up her shoulders while snuggled into Rumi’s collarbone. Rumi playing with the hairs at the base of Mira’s neck didn’t hurt either.

When they swapped, Mira just shimmied further up and rolled over, pulling Rumi on top of her. Rumi was fond of curling up when upset so she ended up with her knees parallel to Mira’s torso and her head tucked snugly under her chin resting squarely on her chest. Mira’s hands snaked under Rumi’s shirt and trailed lazily up and down her spine until she was suitably boneless, fighting off sleep and failing.

When Rumi’s soft snores clued Mira in to her unconscious state, she spoke to Zoey though she couldn’t see her while flat on her back.

“You were right… we needed this.”

Zoey appeared to the left of her, Chesire like, “You don’t say?”

Mira would’ve rolled her eyes but she couldn’t trivialize what Zoey had done or how much Zoey hated having to do it in the first place.

“I’m sorry, jagiya.”

“I know sweetie,” Zoey brushes a hair out of Mira face before dropping her phone on the side table and snuggling up to Mira’s side.

“I just-” but Zoey’s hand covers the entirety of her mouth.

“Therapy or not at all. And definitely not while Rumi is asleep.”

Mira kisses the hand covering her mouth in acquiesce and Zoey lets her go.

“Now sleep. We all need it.”

[breawycker]

I really like your tags and as someone who is asexual (but homoromantic), I really like the idea of the three of them like adopting a kid together especially considering they all have abandonment issues/parental trauma. I feel like that would be healing to them. There's no risk of them dying in childbirth and they help a child in need of a loving home. Kinda like how Celine brought the three of them together to be Hunters. Idk I think that would be really meaningful for them.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

I like headcanon that honmoon choose people for hunting as someone who need connection/ won't be missed so i would say they could adopt 3 kids actually.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Turdle Zoey want her hug from her long dog girlfriend.

Rumi is sleeping somewhere out of picture

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

And Rumi the dragon is just vibin there

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Turdle Zoey want her hug from her long dog girlfriend.

Rumi is sleeping somewhere out of picture

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Problem child huh

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

Finally i was able to visualize my new honmoon patterns for girls.

As addition to this post

https://www.tumblr.com/ficletwrittenatdawn/815039909145559040/ok-so-imagine-new-honmoon-gave-hunters-patterns?source=share

I decided to make their faces intact after all, but that might change depends if i decide to draw more of it.

Also i like to think of how different will be Mira and Zoey patterns, where Mira's are more jagged, more discarded while Zoey's is flowy and long.

[ficletwrittenatdawn]

ok so imagine, new honmoon gave hunters patterns, not demon one but well honmoon one. And now why is good question to ask. It's unfortunately not obvious.

Is it for hunters to think before killing demons? Is it because Rumi is half-demon and new honmoon is in part her creation? Or is it just new quirk?

This patterns having form of flowy lines iridescent like Rumi patterns. Firstly it was just one line then two and then their whole bodies was covered (Except Rumi cause she already have patterns) Well they were concerned but not that much that was until this new patterns start to reach for their faces cause before it could be explain as tattoos and all but this? this is bad. 

And let's imagine the angst possible of Rumi thinking it's all her fault

then need to talk to Celine and healing their relationship that makes her connected to homnoon again (cause i think she will be cut for it until she makes amends with girls) AND then she got patterns too

and of course she freak out, but just a little after all they done research together.
