I feel like Zoey has seen Huntrix fans refer to their ship as "Ruzoemira", "Mirumizoey", "Zoemirmi", or "Zoerumira" and has probably had thoughts like:

...wow. I'm really invading in there, huh?

Rumira is objectively a better ship name, honestly. Their names mesh so well together. "Zoerumi" and "Zoemira" look so forced in comparison.

I don't fit in in any of these names at all.

And she wouldn't bring it up with her girls because, like, this is a stupid thing to be upset about, right? Like this dictates nothing about their relationship at all. They're just silly ship names. It's not like Rumi and Mira secretly hate her or anything just because the fandom-made ship names look messy with her name in them.

Stupid thing to be upset about.

Then an interviewer struggles to pronounce one of the ship names while trying to discuss their relationship, on live television. And the studio audience laughs about it. People online afterwards make fun of the goofy pronunciation attempt. People online actually openly acknowledge that most of the Huntrix poly ship names sound weird or dumb to say aloud. A lot of people even admit it's Zoey's fault for having "the odd name out".

And it's too much for her.

Rumi and Mira can tell that something about the interview made her upset too. At first they figure it's because he asked about her childhood in America, or because he openly commented on the fact that it was "a shame" that she wasn't single because apparently a lot of male idols have expressed interest in her "if she was available". (Zoey doesn't want to touch that conversation with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole. Mira doesn't blame her, she wanted to punch the bastard for saying it too.)

Zoey figures that she should just tell them she was upset about the ship name thing. Admits that she knows it's a dumb thing to be upset about, but it felt worse hearing other people say it. It makes her feel like she's invading their relationship. That somehow her name sticking out like a sore thumb in the ship names makes it almost seem like...she doesn't belong.

Rumi and Mira are not having it.

She expects them to not understand or maybe tease her a little bit about it, so that she can act like this didn't happen and move on. She's instead picked up and taken to their couch (couch couch couch) to be sandwiched between them. She gets kisses, cuddles, gentle reassurances that yes she does belong here, they love her, they want her here. After all, she looks like she fits pretty good between the two of them right now.

The next day, Zoey discovers that Rumi and Mira both retweeted a post suggesting a better ship name for the three Huntrix girls that "doesn't look weird, isn't hard to pronounce, and includes all of the girls" - Polytrix.

She likes it.

(Portmanteau ship names are stupid anyways-)

I got reminded of a post where Rumi actually hooks up (since only Hunters would know about her patterns) with a back up dancer. And I cannot, for the life of me, find that post again.

It had Rumi texting Celine about it and mentioning NDA and Celine finally just giving a 👍

Anyway, not the actual point, I wonder how Mira and Zoey would react to that. Like, did they know? Or maybe they were under the impression that Rumi's anxiety ridden ass was a virgin.

Like, what if they thought Rumi was a virgin and finds out that not only she experienced, but her freak matches Zoey's.

If anyone can find that post with Rumi NDA txt to Celine, pls link me

"Huntrix is straight."

Your honor, how do you explain three gorgeous women in black leather sliding into a ball pit, where the slide is CLEARLY a Pan flag???

I’d like to imagine there are regional hunter variants and somewhere in the deep southern USA there’s a trio of girls in a folk punk band that only play in basement shows and underground indie events for charitable causes

Thinking about how one of the reasons Rumi offered her sword to Celine by the end of the movie despite Celine having a weapon of her own within reach (the sickle she dropped at her feet) was because on her way to meet her Rumi had probably accepted that she was an actual demon and thought that she should die like one.

As I headcanon Rujinu as bi4bi but also they're each other's first (and only) love, first kiss, first everything, I imagine they would simultaneously find out they're bisexual in a random tuesday when Rumi goes like:"I'd still date you if you were a girl" and Jinu answers with:"Same, I'd also still date you if you were a guy" AND THEN IT HITS

I think K-Pop Demon Hunters is a really beautiful movie in its own way.

Sure, you can dislike the art style, or dislike the character's designs, or maybe even dislike the pacing, or storyline.

But the meaning and messages in the movie is beautiful. I think it's a breath of extremely fresh air, like going to the middle of a unpopulated forest after living in a really smoggy area all your life.

I adore how one of the messages is to communicate. Without communication, everything can fall apart. And I love how it shows the girls being comfortable enough with the others to talk about their flaws, and when you don't, that's a lack of communication and thus, everything falls apart. But most importantly, they trust each other enough to be their support system. Like yes, you can absolutely rely on your friends, or the people you're closest to that you trust. I'm a person that struggles with communication a lot, so that really speaks out to me.

Another thing is that, the movie shows that it will get better. Mira had a hard life, she didn't fit in with her family whom shunned her, and yet she still found people she can relate to. For Zoey, she was split between those two lives being Korean-American, yet she still found a home. And for Rumi, she had it rough, but when she finally trusted her friends? That's when it got better. Again, trust and communication.

You can be overcome with thoughts that make you insecure, as Gwi-Ma did in the movie. It can even affect friendships, as shown with the girls. But that's all they are; thoughts. They're not tangible, they're not something physical. And with the right support and encouragement, they'll go away. It's why it's important to have safe, healthy friendships.

The girls are depicted without makeup constantly, and that's a beautiful thing, especially with makeup companies shoving makeup down little girl's throats, because makeup makes you 'beautiful'. And I don't mean offense by saying this, but lots of influencers, too. Especially the self-conscious ones that feel insecure without it. That can all affect anyone's minds, and thus make them insecure. And this movie shows that you can be secure in your own body without the makeup. You're beautiful regardless.

I also did see a few posts talking about this already, but the food, The food culture in so many places is strict, and especially with people struggling with weight loss, or anything like that. So to see these KOREAN POP STARS eat and indulge in a plethora of food? It's wonderful to see, especially with how strict food intake is for Pop Stars in Korea and other countries. Plus, Bobby is a wonderful, beautiful, amazing character that shows you can be comfortable with yourself, no matter how you look, or how much weight you have. Nobody made fun of him, and in fact, it wasn't even talked about.

Another thing is that, sometimes the right person isn't the one with hot abs or a mysterious disposition, things that are on the outside. Because looks can be deceiving, and this movie perfectly captures that. Mira and Zoey, and hell even Rumi, got swayed by good looks. But by the end of it? Well, despite being just her type, they were still not the right people for those girls, and once they looked beyond that? They were really corrupt Demons LITERALLY trying to take people's souls and eat them.

(Besides, why have abs and mysterious looks when you could have your two really hot female best friends.)

I also really like how this movie is comfortable in its own culture. It was just Korean culture, and it's perfectly fine to enjoy that, and be interested in the culture, I personally think! You're free to enjoy your culture without trying hide roots, and even represent it, and that movie showed representation without really telling it. (Show, don't tell.)

Seriously, this movie had so many positive aspects to it that young minds NEED to help them develop POSITIVELY.

Anyways, I rambled long enough, and I'm pretty sure I bounced topics like twenty times thanks to ADHD. I'm just trying to say that even if you don't like this movie, it had wonderful aspects to it that have positive impacts, and will have positive impacts, on so many people.

I have a headcanon that when Rumi hid her patterns, she used makeup concealer to cover her patterns when she isn’t wearing a hoodie or a turtleneck. I kinda of thought of this on my 100th rewatch where Rumi is singing in the dressing room by herself and is putting on her Golden outfit jacket, I kinda noticed how her patterns looked a little faded with her skin. Of course that’s probably due to her being part demon and it’s all in my head, that’s why it’s called a headcanon. What does everyone else think of this idea?
