Aphmau
In your heart, Aphmau was the one good thing that came out of Anakt Garden
A light in the darkness, a hope bloomed within its abyss, and you’d do anything to protect it.
Despite her shy nature in the beginning, she grew to be quite the social butterfly with the need to be liked by everyone
Most times, it worked in her favor. Sometimes, her attempts would crash and burn when someone pointed out how ‘overly nice’ she was
But that didn’t stop her from befriending you. She didn’t care that you were quiet and barely spoke a word.
She talked enough for the both of you.
And when training was especially hard, she was right there by your side to cheer you up
With all she’s done for you, it was only right you’d do the same for her. You’d do anything to keep her light shining on.
And if that meant sabotaging yourself, singing the wrong note, giving her more lines, then so be it.
It was selfish of you. Especially when the both of you agreed to aim for a tie, but you saw it as sparing yourself the pain if it didn’t work in your favor.
Because a world where Aphmau does not exist, is no world of yours.
“Aphmau narrowly survives by a single point. Will her song take her to victory? I truly look forward to her next performance.” — Judge Naturu, Alien Stage.
Katelyn
From the very beginning, the children of Anakt Garden are taught that death is not something to be afraid of, but to be seen as a great honor.
But at such a young age, despite what’s been drilled into their impressionable minds, you can only be scared of death.
It’s something no man or woman can come back from to tell the tale of. Its uncertainty scared any right mind to the point they’d do just about anything to stray from the palm of death a little longer.
You can imagine the shift Katelyn’s character took when she learned what becomes of the losing contestant on Alien Stage.
These kids. . . She’s expected to spend the majority of the day with them, learning and playing amongst each other, and then put against them in a life of death situation?
No. She couldn’t. She wouldn’t. But she had to if she wanted to live, so there was only one other solution she could think of.
To save herself from losing someone she bonded with, she kept everyone at a distance. No talking, no playing. Nothing.
“It’s for her own good. For everyone’s. Everything was fine. She didn’t need friends.That’s what she kept telling herself, and for a while, it worked.
But then you stepped into her light, refusing to believe what everyone said about how hateful she is. Not even when Katelyn told you to bug off. It became a problem—you became a problem.
She was livid. Here you were, acting all perfect and nice, giving her exactly what she wanted/needed. And there she was, letting you.
She needed to fix it and Katelyn knew exactly how. All she needed was to say awful, horrible things to make you hate her so much, it would destroy whatever bridge that she mistakenly allowed to be built between you.
Maybe then, it would hurt a little less when the inevitable would happen and she’d have to share a stage with you.
It had been ages since the last time the two of you spoken; words exchanged that could not be taken back nor mended with an apology.
She was sure she’d be able to go through with it, to make sure she came out on top. Her score was rising, surpassing yours.
But when she looked to the screen, she finds her eyes glued to the youthful picture of you beside hers on the big screen.
She finds her resolution crumbling the further she walked down memory lane. All those times she ignored your presence, pretending she wasn’t listening as you rambled about whatever it was.
She misses her queue. The whole stadium looks to her in shock as there was nothing but silence coming from her side.
You looked to her, terrified, begging her with your eyes to keep on singing - the same ones that held nothing but warmth and kindness.
The distance between you closes. You can feel your heart in your throat.
“Wings drenched in longing, unfold at last like a fragile sprout too small to hold. Scattered sorrows sways and dances as dawn rises, unshaken and sure.” And without a word, she embraces the sea that sings.
Garroth
He always seemed unachievable in your eyes
Adored by all, Garroth was one of the most successful children in Anakt Garden.
With perfect grades in all subjects, nailing all his personal training and tests, it wasn’t a shocker when he was nominated for the ‘Outstanding Student Award Ceremony’ and won.
It was only natural everyone gravitated towards him, wanting some type of connection with him.
That’s why you never tried to get close to him. Because why would he want to be friends with someone like you with little achievement?
You weren’t talentless. Many have said you’d be able to hold your own when it was time for competing, even your Guardian has said it.
But you just weren’t good enough for him. And that was made painfully known as he bashfully interacted with another.
It should have turned you away. It should have been enough to get rid of the funny feeling in your stomach when you looked at him or heard him laugh. But it didn’t.
He had this light surrounding him, its warmth inviting, it pulled you in every time you tried to stay away
Because despite all what made him a little scary to approach, his kind-soul outshined it all. His light blinded you in different ways you had only seen before it was too late.
When the time came to share the stage with him, you knew you had no chance of coming out of this alive. But you took this as an opportunity to get something off your chest.
Through song, you’d sing the tune your heart has sang from him for the moment your eyes meant. How blinded you were by his light, how warm it made you feel.
Blind, that you are to many things. Maybe if you weren’t, you’d hear the tune he carried for you, too. Maybe then, you’d see how heavy his heart was standing beside you, in front of so many Segyein.
Maybe then, you’d notice how he too, planned to sabotage himself
But in the end, all does not matter, because one without the other would always feel incomplete.
“Alien Stage’s TOP 3 eliminated after refusal of participation in Round 4! Had his recent victory swayed his judgement? Garroth’s Guardian has yet to comment on the sudden loss after expressing confidence in taking Alien Stage’s winning title home.” — ALNST Magazine

When you first met Gene in high school, you never thought he’d be in your life so far into the future. Not when his name made your ears ring, or how his irritating voice made your skin crawl.
But somehow, in between the blurry lines, something meaningful developed between you two.
It began with a truce, an agreement to keep things civil if one found themselves in the presence of the other. That’s when you found Gene to be tolerable. . . likable, even, when he wasn’t trying to get underneath your skin every second of the day.
And boy, did that kickstart a lot of things for you. Because now that he didn’t have that huge, blinking, Vegas sign that said ‘ANNOYING’ above his head, he was actually heavily attractive.
And that, itself, was annoying alongside other things you keep discovering about him — now that you live together.
As of now, for example. He’s on his side, sleeping soundly, and the sun’s rising behind him. It created this halo of light around him, leaving him looking ethereal and serene. His bed hair isn’t doing any favors either. Why the hell is this man so attractive without even trying?
You audibly voice your annoyance with a click of your tongue, eyes slanted, as you stared at him intently.
He huffs, eyes remaining closed, “What?” Of course he’s awake.
“What do you mean what?”
“You went—“ He clicks his tongue in the same manner, only he exaggerated it to make a point, “so obviously there’s something on your mind.”
“You’re annoying.” Gene’s eyelids begin to flutter, making you turn on your side so he couldn’t see the amusement on your face.
You shouted as he pressed your back flat into the mattress, giggling like a schoolgirl as Gene placed his hands on your ticklish spots. “Listen here, you freak,” you snort, begging him not to tickle you. “When I’m sleeping, I expect not to be stared down by some chick.”
You gasp, mouth hung open at his audacity. “Some chick? Some—“ Your little rant’s interrupted by Gene tickling your spot, sending you into painful laughter and body thrashing about.
He pauses his assault, leaning in teasingly. “Did I mention this chick is smoking hot?” You deadpan at his lame bit. “No? Alright then.”
You groan out in between laughter, tears flooding your eyes “This is so—“ you quick your legs, attempting to knock him off you, “UNFAIR!”
“Life’s unfair, Doll.” He smacks a wet kiss onto your cheek, making you groan yet again with ‘gross’. You make a show of wiping his kiss away.
“Yeah, because somehow I ended up with you.” He lowers himself down again for a proper kiss that you happily give him.
DUO COSTUMES W/ YOU: Boys Version. Includes:, Garroth, Laurance & Zane. Happy Halloween! warning(s): fem!reader, mention of fake blood
note: this is super late I completely forgot about it 😭 + I was having trouble thinking up duo ideas like a loser. This was also suppose to include Travis but I couldn’t think of anything and just wanted this out of the drafts so … sorry x
⋆˚࿔ prev ⋆˚࿔ masterlist ⋆˚࿔ requests
Garroth
this one is too obvious do I even have to spell it out for you?
we all know his love for the zelda games so when the moment presented itself, Garroth insisted going as Link and Zelda for Halloween
well no
he doesn’t insist because he’s a well mannered boy. more like he begged
honestly it wasn’t needed you would have said yes off the back
even if your knowledge about the games were limited, you wouldn't mind considering her lovely character design
besides how could ever say no to your goofball? and an added plus,
dressing as zelda meant him complimenting you every chance he gets as if he doesn’t do that already
"you're so perfect for zelda!"
"you're so pretty!"
"you're doing her justice!"
you haven't even put on the costume yet
Laurance
Billy and Sidney from Scream
But like, Billy in the final scene
Omg a non-anime duo everyone clap!
I think Laurance dressing up as him is a world-wide service
he’s got that middle part like him too
and because he’s an ex theater kid, he’d get into character just for you
because whether you wanted him to or not, he knows you got a little thing for billy
he’d reenact that one part where Billy shows Sidney the blood is fake by licking it off
And honestly it felt really ridiculous so he didn’t expect a reaction out of you
But you were soooo silent and that was enough of a response
He laughed at you. Laughed.
“This is really doing it for you, huh?”
“Shut up before we reenact billy getting murked.”
Zane
L and Misa.
And before you sigh and roll your eyes at me bc I chose yet another anime duo well . . .
Idk SUE ME it’s hard not to when it’s almost the only thing I consume
Anyways.
Zane happened to be lurking around while you were rewatching Death Note and tried not to act like he was interested
But when Light purposely renounced ownership of the death note he just HAD to see what happened next
Thus restarting the rewatch so Zane can understand the show properly
I don’t really see the appeal of L and Misa as a ship but the duo itself is super cute
Plus I think Zane would appreciate being able to stay within his element and not having to try so hard for the costume
And getting the chance to see you dressed in the same aesthetic?
DUO COSTUMES W/ YOU: Girls Version. Duo costumes they’d wear on Halloween with you. Includes: Aphmau, Katelyn, Nana and Lucinda. Happy Halloween! warning(s): fem!reader, fem x fem, major madoka magica spoiler? this is so silly
note: I was planning to do another version for the boys but for the life of me I cannot think up anything. hopefully I can get that out today :,)
⋆˚࿔ masterlist ⋆˚࿔ requests
Aphmau
don't even think for a second because she's with you in this universe she can avoid the 'doomed in every universe' trope.
it's just in a non-issue way
you and aphmau would be all over magical girl shoujo's so it's only natural you two would go as Madoka and Homura from puella magi
obviously, aphmau would be madoka and you as homura.
isn't it perfect?!
one transcends time over and over again, trying desperately to save the other from a life altering mistake, despite it ending in tragedy each attempt!
something you had cheesily admitted to aphmau was if granted such an ability, you'd do the same for her
what a perfect match!
definitely not foreshadowing anything hahahaha that would be soooo crazy
:)
Katelyn
she screams DC fan to me and I don't know why
you two would totally go as Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn
Specifically from the Harley Quinn series
Look. I don't have much knowledge about either or (because I'm a marvel head) but from what I've seen/read, Katelyn and Poison Ivy share some similarities
they're emotionally guarded. they don't like people. Can't convey their emotions properly. Angry all the time or whatever. Trauma
idk im a marvel fan LOL
but once they found their person, they're suddenly on their way to self-growth and being more open; authentic
katelyn doesn't even seem like the kind to dress up for halloween either. she'd much prefer to stay in and watch scary movies to carry on the vibe but
she knows that you know how much she adores dc and by extension poison ivy and harley quinn for their queer representation and is ecstatic to dress as them
but she'd play it off by saying "dressing up on halloween is for kids. but i'll do it for you."
you're ready to claim you forced katelyn into a costume this year
Nana
You already know where I'm going with this
Her name is Nana, my blog is Nana themed. It's too perfect
Obviously you two would have to go as Nana and Hachi
Nana is almost a mirror image of Hachi. Down to the clothes, the personality, the yearning for love.
I also love the trope where people with opposite aesthetic are in a romantic relationship SO
You'd also share the same style with the character Nana
You have multiple inspired outfits in your closet that would be perfect to wear as a costume for Halloween
Nana would also take this as an opportunity to 'rewrite their story' and make it a happy one where they're happily living together in their cute apartment with no stinky takumi to get in between them
her words not mine
the two of you had just finished watching the last episode of NANA and she didn't like how the situational circumstances caused the ever growing distance between them
"anyone who gets in between them deserves ever lasting punishment. and that goes for us, too :P"
"I 1000% agree. I'm so glad we're on the same page."
Lucinda
Daphne and Velma
didn't have to think about it for a second
She'd totally use her magic to make the costumes perfect too
You'd want to go for the classic Velma look but she had to ask at least ONCE about you wearing the outfit from the Monsters Unleashed movie.
"absolutely not."
"you'd look so hot, though!"
tell me why you were actually thinking about it. was being able to move freely actually worth it?
we all know halloween isn't about dressing up hot but this is you and lucinda we're talking about - the hottest couple on mystreet
so maaybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea
plus, there'd probably be too many classic velma's out there anyways
"okay, fin— you already made it."
"I already made it." she says as she so proudly holds out the orange latex suit on display
