guys- idk but hear me out- I have had a wide, wide variety of hyperfixations and special intrests and I believe that giving Zoey and Rumi unique (some of them probably a bit less common) hyperfixations would make a great social media au.
So here goes nothing (I'm posting things in chunks so it's a bit more organized?
Rumi
Special Intrests
Rumi first heard an Irish folk tune when she and Celine went to an Irish pub because Rumi was curious and Celine needed food
Since then, Rumi has been obsessed.
First just taken in by the music itself it grew into a fascination of Celtic arts and Culture.
Often when doing homework Rumi would blast bagrock. Celine has begrudgingly adapted
Rumi first fell in love with history through Celine telling her stories of her mom and thirdlight
when she started school history quickly became the class she participated the most in. While some topics were much less interesting to her than others Rumi quickly found her niche (she never let go of her love of the history of the hunters)
Rumi's special interest in dance began with a Nutcracker performance. Sure, she and Celine would dance around the hanok, and the stars training under Celine were captivating, but the emotions and story told through the Nutcracker captured Rumi in a way like no other.
Now, Rumi has seen many ballets live and has also seen Riverdance live as well
Mira found it annoying at first how Rumi would talk about choreography for hours on end but when she truly started to listen she learned that if Rumi was motivated to she would be able to create a masterpiece for a ballet. Mira specializes in modern dances and while she knows ballet it was never her favourite discipline.
Plants! (I don't know enough to ramble about them but I'm doing research :) im having so much fun yall)
Hyperfixations over the year
Poisonous plants
Carnivorous plants
Honey Bees
Old people games (for instance, if she were in america it would 100% be cribbage)
The great molasses flood
The great emu war
The Holy Roman Empire
Traditional Holistic healing practices/medication from all over the world
Photography
Puzzles
3d Puzzles
Chess
Anything that stimulates her brain
Genealogy (she uses tours to find different graves and uploads them to like find a grave type websites)
We all know that turtles are one of Zoey's main special intrests but we should expand it. Zoey has always loved turtles, but her true special interest started with an elementary school project about their favourite animals, and Zoey went down rabbit holes.
Immediately, Zoey knew she would be doing the project on one turtle in particular. Lonesome George. The last Pina Island Tortoise (it's a square/rectangle thing, basically all tortoises are turtles not all turtles are tortoises).
Because of this project, Zoey knows a bunch about conservation of endangered species and advocates for many different species, not just turtles.
Zoey is extremely knowledgeable about zoos and aquariums as well, how they're run, the equipment they use, and how they help and sometimes hurt the animals in captivity.
Another special interest that I think would fit zoey is musical theatre. Zoey would love theatre, it's a place where you learn to wear masks- where you become someone else.
I think Zoey particularly loves modern musicals. The Classics are classics for a reason, but newer musicals explore so much more content and sounds.
While I don't necessarily think they'd be her favourites, Zoey definitely holds appreciation for In the Heights, Hamilton, and Lin-Manuel Miranda due to how Lin especially opened up (in my opinion) the exploration of different styles/genres music for musical theatre.
Some musicals I think she'd like:
Shrek
- Shrek is an American staple and if she loves the movie she loves the musical man
Fun Home
- Not only is this solely about a queer person, it also is so emotional. Any time I hear "Ring of Keys" I get emotional
Something Rotten
- A hilarious musical and gosh the music is so amazing, go see how many musical references are in "A Musical"
A couple more, Spamalot, Wicked, The color purple, Matilda, and (because i cant not mention it) Come From Away
You may ask what about Dear Even Hanson? My friends I will never make a character I have to write like that god forsaken musical. Yes, the music is so amazing and lovely, but the plot is absolutely disgusting.
I also feel like Zoey can play many many instruments. Some notable things I would find fucking hilarious would be if Rumi dared her to learn to play the bagpipes, if Zoey was decent at the theremin, and was fantastic with spoons.
Hyperfixations
Zoey has less hyperfixations that come and go and most of them go hand in hand with her special interests
That being said, She hyperfixated on 9/11 in 6th grade when she first dove into the topic in history (im going off my own experience for this timeline wise)
She hyperfixates on songs, albums, and artists to the point where she can easily pick out every intsrument played and recreate the entire song by herself if she so chose
She also hyperfixates on instruments, usually while learning, but sometimes when there are significant events in her life, she gravitates towards an instrument she already knows (for a personal example, my grandfather passed away and he was the one who introduced me to the ukulele, after I learned that I've been hyperfixating on my ukulele since)
Any media she gets into. Movies, books, podcasts, etc. if it hooks her she's hyperfixated until its over.
She reads and writes a bunch of fanfic, I don't think she does too much of herself and her girls, but she has fics in so many fandoms.
Journaling, Writing, Poetry, all of it lol
Other thoughts
Zoey is actually quite organized, her room may be the messiest but she knows exactly where everything is. Her notebooks (me thinks something similar to the tul notebooks where you can add, remove, swap pages) are exact.
Everything is quite decorated and like I said before, organized. Her shrek fanfic notebook is green covered in shrek stickers. Her lyric notebooks are very clearly labled
guys- idk but hear me out- I have had a wide, wide variety of hyperfixations and special intrests and I believe that giving Zoey and Rumi unique (some of them probably a bit less common) hyperfixations would make a great social media au.
So here goes nothing (I'm posting things in chunks so it's a bit more organized?

Kimberly Akimbo 1 Review by a Chronically Ill Person
I just got out of the theater. I just got out of the theatre and my mind is racing. This will probably contain spoilers.
David Lindsay-Abaire has written a masterpiece. Like- I’m speechless. He’s captured so many feelings I’ve personally experienced specifically as a sick kid.
He and Jeanine Tesori have crafted songs that hit different, that really explore the world of being a sick kid. The song “Make a Wish” about make a wish and the feelings it portrays is so accurate to the emotions I felt the two times I found out that I would be granted a wish(two only because of a medical complication made my drs pull their approval before they could grant my first wish)
Ann Morrison, the woman who plays Kimberly, gives off the energy of a teenager and while there’s a slight visual disconnect the energy she exudes is so on point. I don’t know how to explain this but That slight disconnect between Kimberly and the other teens reminds me of the disconnect that I often felt in school. I don’t know if all schools had this but in my grade everyone knew my name. Not in a “popular” way, in a “they’re different” way.
In 6th grade I got a pacemaker. I remember in the build up or after the surgery I was apart of a group project. The others, due to doctor appointments, excluded me and my teacher let it go and basically told me that I needed to do the project solo. I have so many more examples of the disconnect between me and my peers.
The “cardiac event” that had Kimberly in the hospital is a situation that I’ve been in too many times to remember. Not all of mine have been something as serious as a cardiac event, but I have been in the hospital for over a week for a thing. That could have gotten extremely dangerous.
But in the musical Kimberly’s crankiness is something that I admit is something I always am when stuck in a hospital.
The group of 4 friends who are definitely in a love box made me laugh so hard. It honestly kinda reminded me of my own friend group.
I will say I find it halarious that my mom wasn’t really enjoying it. Both of my parents have similar traits to the parents in the musical.
Below are some photos from my Make-A-Wish trip. I was super spoiled because it was the first time a ticket company had sponsored a make a wish. The managed to get me to 6 musicals in 5 days and originally got be backstage at 3 shows. Then, at the freaking party they threw on of the employees talked to a friend of hers and got me backstage at one more show.
I'm on a business trip right now and I'm bored so while I generally try my best to keep up with American pop culture and meme culture, I'm not omnipotent, so I'm just going to list things, in no particular order, I've heard online about America that I haven't searched because I'm highkey scared to.
Juicy Lucy (I am really scared to search this one)
1) Hamburger made by stuffing cubed cheese in raw meat before grilling it so the inside is oozing melted cheese when you bite into it.
2) TV show where people try to get their inventions funded by investors. Fairly entertaining honestly.
3) 1800s wagon train that got snowed in for months in the California mountains due to their own poor choices and resorted to cannibalism to survive.
4)TV show about people in Alaska (typically) trying to find gold.
5) Celebrities made famous by (not fucking with you) the father's famously defending a famous American Football player for murder, and his eldest daughter's sex tape with a random man
6) No idea on that one sorry!
7) Gas station the size of a large store that sells lots of quick eat hot food, snacks of various kinds, and merchandise with a beaver mascot on it.
8) A dairy based salad dressing seasoned with dill. Heavy, coats the vegetables completely. Kind of an acquired taste but very popular in the midwest. Some eat it on raw vegetables like carrots, and others eat it on things like pizza.
9) Thinly sliced, battered and deep fried bull testicles. Sometimes ranches will do an 'Oyster fry' in the spring when they're castrating the young bulls and have a bunch on hand. It's weird.
10) Wild canine, looks almost like a fox, but sand colored with very long legs. They 'scream' when they howl and are known scavenger type predators. On occasion they'll breed with domestic dogs and create Coydogs which are cute and terrifying.
6) So the 2016 clown sightings started in Green Bay, Wisconsin as an advertisement for a locally produced horror short-film in like August of 2016, and from there I guess it just snowballed? I think some people found it like a good prank to pull?
Some thoughts on Celine's name for the trans au of deadbeat mi-yeong.
sources: Behind the name and me, a trans masc person who has a special intrest in names. This took longer than expected cuz i got sick ;-;
I was going to send this as an ask to @fakelawyerbug (hi) but it got really long soooooo here!
There are a few names that are basically the Masculine form of Celine. They all share the Latin Root of caelum - "sky/heaven". Caelius and Caelestis (Latin), Celestin(French), and Celio, Celino, and Celestino (Italian).
If you believed that Celine wouldn't change her name too much, I would personally go with Caelius or Celestin.
If Celine is already struggling to accept being Appa to Rumi, I would go with one of these names.
I will say that this is an extremely edited version and does not name every name I came up with or thought could fit Celine.
Names Meaning Heaven/Sky (The meaning of Celine)
Byeong-ho (Korean, Byeong - "Bright, Luminous, Glorious", Ho - "Heaven")
Haneul (Korean, Means Heaven, Sky)
Ji-Ho (Korean, Ji - "Wisdom, Intelect", Ho - "Heaven")
Seong-min (Korean, Seong - "Nature, Character" or "Completed, Finished", Min - "Heaven")
Orion (Greek Mythology, Is the name of a constellation) {In Greek Myth, Orion is a Hunter}
Aether (Greek Origin, Meaning "Ether/Heaven" or "To Burn/To Ignite") {Aether is the Greek God of Light and the Upper Sky}
Castor (Greek Origin, Meaning "To Shine"){In Greek Myth Castor was a son of Zeus and twin to Pollux}
Astrophel (Greek Origin, Meaning "Star Lover") {Ok this is a favourite name of mine I'll admit. It doesn't quite fit Celine to me but i couldn't omit it lol}
Aster (Greek Origin, Meaning "Star") {THIS IS ALSO THE NAME OF A FLOWER GUYS!!!!}
Icarus (Greek Origin, Meaning Unknown) {The legend of Icarus is that he flew too close to the Sun, I thought it a poetic choice}
Ciel (French Origin, Meaning "Sky")
Other Names (Names with French Origins, Beginning in C, or Similar Vibes)
Achille (French and Italian variant of Achilles, Unknown Greek Origin but could mean "pain") {In Greek Myth, Achilles was a near invincible warrior whose only weakness was in his heel}
Conrad (Old Germanic, Meaning "Brave Counsol")
Cecil (Latin, Could mean "Blind")
Adrien (French Variant of Hadrian, Roman Origin meaning "From Hadria")
And if you were curious THIS is a google doc of all the Behind the Name links
this turned out shorter than i thought due to me being sick so when I recover a bit I may lengthen it
A design i made for the fictional sunlight entertainment
a bit about it ig?
The gradient in the background is both because it looks like a sunrise kinda but also it resembles some of the colours the sls were wearing in the breif seconds we saw them
The black beams remind me both of rays of sun and like- sound waves? here, these guys ↓
other than that i was messing around and nothing else I came up with fit the vibe I was going with??
So the idea is about a docuseries spanning the childhoods of the sunlight sisters to like- 5-ish years after the movie
I'm currently brainstorming and outlining among other things but some examples of ideas I've created thus far are afer the cut
(aka i needd to write this down before i forget sstuffs)
So this will contain mentions of self harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, multiple deaths, and maybe more things? I won't go too deep into stuff here but probably would in the fic.
Some things in this series that i'll probably mostly ignore
Homophobia (Not all homophobia, but a lot of it)
Rumi's Dad (I'll come up with some sort of explanation)
Transphobia (Again not all, but a lot)
Legal stuff (my friends, I will try but I will undoubtedly fail)
Time (I AM working on it but it's so not going well)
A bunch of Idol stuff (I'm keeping some stuff I know, but I'm also going to omit quite a few things to keep me sane)
Documentary 1
Title Ideas (sls + {insert lyrics/album}, dancing with {smthing}, Dawn of Fame)
Word Ideas to play with (Sun, Spotlights, Stage, Soprano, Ballad, Harmony)
Follows Sunlight Sisters From Childhood until their final hiatus
Some things that will be included in this one are the high standards for idols, extreme dieting (leading to eds), and it will even touch on how thirdlight (Poppy/Ha-Yun) deals with gender dysphoria (trans-masc thirdlight my liege), as well as modesty/moral clause things (we will meet rumi briefly)
Documentary 2
Title and Word Ideas (Sasaeng, After the Applause, i have very little thought out for this one so far)
This would basically revolve around their last hiatus. If you can't tell from my ideas this one is going to be about Mi-yeong's death. And in this au it will be due to a Sasaeng (which will be the truth, not a lie to hide demon hunting)
This I may just mush into Docu 1 tbh
Kang Celine: Sunshine on my Shoulders
This is going to focus almost solely on Celine. It'll go more in-depth on her childhood and while it skips much of the idol years, it will continue to near present day.
It will contain quite a few of Celine's "Original" songs (im sorry but there's no way i'm writing songs for this myself so i will pilfer some off spotify)
So Celine, after the death of her (potentially now revealed) lover/life partner/wife {Mi-Yeong} breaks down, and turns towards a depressive spiral (thirdlight is still currently in the picture)
Yada Yada stuff happens that will include a failed relationship (not with thirdlight, thirdlight in this is aroace o7) hospital visits, and much angst
But it will also include Celine starting Sunlight Entertainment and her determination to make being an idol as safe as possible. IDK legal stuff but imma try and figure out how s. korea government works so i may be able to add some more stuff in on the idol safetey that Celine strives to make better
So this documentary (not including Celine's childhood) will span around 10-12 years.
Note on the Title: Sunshine on my Shoulders will be a song Celine's grandfather (Canadian) wrote about her.
Documentary 4 (Ha-Yun)
Title Ideas (Sudden Silence, After Idol, Who was Poppy/Ha-Yun, When the Sun Set).
This is going to be a mix of focus on Ha-Yun (60%) Celine (15%) and Rumi's upbringing (35%)
So in docu 2 we find out that a Sasaeng killed Mi-Yeong, and, on top of that (for more angst) Ha-Yun(thirdlight) got a nasty nast hit on the head.
Head injuries are complicated, dangerous, and have the potential to cause many issues such as aphasia and epilepsy. Ha-Yun will get the latter.
So this is the story of after the attack. It will mostly focus on Ha-Yun and Rumi because Celine is in an abusive and manipulative relationship on top of being a complete workaholic.
But this will span around the same amount of time as the previous documentary and it will be up until Ha-Yun's death when Rumi is around 13-16.
Documentary 5 (Huntr/x)
Title Ideas (Huntr/x in Harmony?)
Basically docu 1 but for huntr/x,
Other Inclusions im working on possibly adding
Social Media? Fans would be freaking tf out
Music, such as scores and unreleased songs from both groups and individuals (a bunch of unreleased sls, celine, and ha-yun stuff, huntr/x less so but there will be some polytr/x songs)
The Honmoon was breaking. The Honmoon was breaking and Celine was fighting til the end to protect her home. Her home, Rumi's Home, Mi-yeong and Ha-yun's final resting place, she would pretect it until her last breath. And she did.
Celine, heavily injured, could see the Honmoon, unstable, cracking, fraying, and unraveling. She couldn't help but watch in horror as the last reminants of what she and all of her girls worked so hard to maintain fell apart. In her horror she was distracted from her fight, and didn't catch onto the fact that a demon had crept up behind her until she felt its claws sink into her back.
blah blah blah, major leg injury somehow, blah blah blah, odd humming/soft creepy melody (think dies irea). Celine is fucking woozy from blood loss, but even as her vision darkens and blurs she sees a beautiful purple braid and gets to see rumi's face one last time. Her vision at this point is bad enough and she's woozy enough that she doesn't notice Rumi's patterns. Celine knows whats happening, she'd been this close to death multiple times before but the third time must be the charm and she'll finally get to see her darlings again.
"oh my darling Rumi, don't be sad my dear," Celine cooed, her hand brushing away the tears falling onto Rumi's cheekbone, "something something, going to be ok, yada yada look so much like your mother it soothed my aching heart, but now I can go and rest beside her and watch over you" idk somehting heartwrenching if i can manage.
_line break_
The Honmoon was breaking. The Honmoon was breaking and it was all Rumi's fault. Celine was dying and it was all Rumi's fault.
blah blah blah again, more yada yada, more something something. I'm just trying to write the ideas i have right now down.
Celine unravels with the last light of the Honmoon.
_line break 2 electric bugaloo_
here is where my thoughts start to unravel so im just putting it into some bullet points
-In the original timeline Celine was in a car crash in france (while visiting her father) around 2-5 years before Rumi was born
-In that timeline she injures her knee, in this timeline her major leg injury from her final fight means amputation (heheheh)
- Celine first wakes up and shit is wacky, she things she's on heavier pain medications than she is on because her leg is gone but holy shit her soul is complete again but isn't this that one hospital in France
- Idk where it really goes from here, my brain is only currently giving me details for the beginning part atm
Putting some more thoughts after the break thingy
The two covers of this song that- to me- fit this idea the best.
This was partially inspired by @/idontknowmanijustlikereading's latest kpdh social chapter (i am a bit angry about it but it's what did push me to flesh out my idea) and @/fakelawyerbug's celine with chronic pain au thingy. I do swear I've had an entire pintrest board of thoughts on disabled celine before I even saw it (mostly art reference stuff because i have ideas but im not good at drawing anything really rn) but yeah, also inspired by my own molotov cocktail of illnesses. Fun fact actually is that I experience a bunch of heart failure symptoms, and one of my illnesses can cause heart failure! (hey. no. im not trauma dumping- it was research for ANGST! it actually really intrigues me the similarities and differences between symptoms of illnesses and dieases)
Am I going to write this? Possibly? Some day? Not now though, I have a different fic I am actually writing
