Hello yes [holding a mic up to you like a reporter] what's the dynamic between characters. Specifically Ben and Taylor and/or Ashlyn and Aiden. Also the cousins I love the cousins. The cousins are awesome and we need more Clark cousin content in the world.

Ooooooooh

Ben and Taylor's dynamic in the AU is actually really interesting for me to play with, because they aren't relatively close to each other for a bit of a long time until Taylor decided to reach out to Ben a few days after a fire incident that burned down Ben and Lily's favorite diner.

They barely see nor directly interact with each other unless for their group projects and friend group outings. What's making me interested about their dynamic is that Ben does try to reach out way before Taylor reached out to him, he was just socially awkward, topping with his inability to speak making it harder to talk to Taylor. Taylor was patient with him, of course, but he was too embarrassed and leaves the conversation.

The time they directly interacted with each other besides for school projects and friend group shenanigans was the time both of them realized how nice it is to hang out with the other, so they started hanging out more often(with Tyler being dragged along half of the time) and soon they grew closer with each other.

I don't want to spoil what and how the possession thing happened, but I'll just say that after Taylor got revived, she ran like how many miles into her and Ben's hang out spot, with Ben running after her. Let's say the sunset paired with Taylor's smile struck something to Ben that day. :)

Ashlyn and Aiden, Kitsu and Ace, Miraculous Ladybug ahh dynamic LOL-

Ace/Aiden -interested-> Kitsu Ashlyn/Kitsu -neutral-> Ace Ace/Aiden -curious->Ashlyn Ashlyn/Kitsu -interested-> Aiden

One of the first times they interacted was when they were in vigilante patrol, Ace gets wind up in wires and Kitsu helped them get out before excusing themselves that they have to attend an important event. Ace's curiosity peaked and after then he started hanging out with Kitsu more(as much as the latter's dismay). Kitsu didn't have that much opinion on Ace, though they're slightly glad(slightly) that they have a partner by their side now, apparently.

Ashlyn didn't like Aiden's first impressions, and upon seeing his...Badly dyed hair, she thought he was like, a big fan of Ace. His quirks and slip-ups kept her from leaving his side, as her curiosity gets the better of her over the guy's "energetic" vibe.

Aiden is, well, curious of Ashlyn, reminding him of Kitsu.

Their dynamic is mostly driven by curiosity, as both of their obliviousness of each other's identities leads to some...Interesting interactions.

THE CLARK COUSINSSSSSS

They act like brothers to each other, starting from when Aiden started getting attached to Ben because of his "hot-headed" nature, to Ben being dependent of Aiden as he was the anchor to the sea of fire stirring inside him. Ben was like Aiden's older brother, the guy he likes to mess around with and the one to deal with his adrenaline-fueled energy.

Ben found out about Ace's identity around the night of the fire incident, as he found him on his bed with a first-degree burn on his leg. His protectiveness became stronger and led him to treat him like a baby for the next few days. Aiden is not a fan of this.(Ace told this to Kitsu and he could not believe that it would be what leads the person to laugh. Damn it!)

I hadn't fully established what and how their dynamics are gonna develop throughout this mess of a story, but I'm planning on fleshing it out soon. :DDD

Fr fr we need more Clark cousins content

Yeets myself

Challenge- explain the vigilante plot line in 6 sentences (one sentence per main character if you dare)

UH UHHHH-

Let's see if I can do this:'D

-

Ashlyn and Aiden are groupmates for a school project. They try and balance their school with their vigilante alter egos: Kitsu and Ace, as they fight for justice and struggle to stay awake in school. Due to their slip-ups, their other groupmates---Taylor, Tyler, Logan, and Ben---finds out about their secret identities and decided to rope themself up into the constant shenanigans the two vigilantes. This leads to healing from the past and constant angst as Taylor ends up dying and Ace gets [SPOILER;) ] alongside other side quests of shenanigans. Who knows? Maybe Ashlyn would finally find out about the true nature of her powers soon, and maybe she doesn't need to deal with things alone, not anymore.

HELP IS THAT 6 SENTENCES?? I THINK THAT'S SIX SENTENCES!!

Hehehe, wonder what that spoiler is🥴 (It's such a complicated project I need a lot of dedication to pull off, so watch out I guess?)
