POST TYPE: a random HEADCANON about milan's fansites because i can

after more than two years since her FIRST public appearance, milan has a good number of fansites/fanpages. but SIX are considered top tier by domestic and international fans alike

LOVEYU

the first to be created shortly after lgc family's 2022 concert. for several months, it was the one and only milan ressource

020512

Peach Blossom

both were created around the same time in early 2023, when milan was hosting her own YOUTUBE SHOW and announced as a FUTURE DREAMS 6 contestant.

One and Only, Baby

Cosmos Fairy

the next notable fansites appeared after future dream 6's finale. it's notably the first time a fanpage used the term 'fairy'. in the fandom, it's still blurry wether the fansite inspired milan's given emoji or vice versa.

My Choice is YU

created in mid-2024, MCYU is the most recent of the TOP6 but nevertheless a fan favorite for the high quality of the photos. if you've come across a viral fansite photo of milan in the latter half of 2024, it surely comes from there.

TRIVIA

milan has yet to give a name to those who have her as main bias. during a fansign in 2024, she expressed herself that no matter who they like most, she hopes those who support her proudly calls themselves STELLAs first and foremost.

EVENT: PERSONALIZED SET POST TYPE: HEADCANON SOLO

as somebody who rarely plans things out and usually does things on a whim, milan has spent more time that she cares to admit on this little project. the first hurdle being of course having carte blanche on the design of both pieces. so many possibilities. she'd make up her mind one day then change it the next. this wasn't a linear process at all for her but rather a choatic one, reminiscent of when she had to work on long term projects during her student days. without surprise, she submitted her final selection close to the deadline while exclaiming "ah! i don't know! whatever!". thankfully, seeing the final result, she has no buyer guilt.

microphone: after much deliberation, milan has decided to keep her microphone quite simple and simply request a slight shimmering effect, so that the peach color looks like it has specs of glitters doted here and there inside it

in-ear: rather than make the design for her microphone stand out, it's on her in-ear that milan has requested to most costumization. though the result is simply the same peach color as her microphone with a fairy silouhette drawn in white on it, rather than just a design, milan's ear pierce is also a reminder of her hope and desire, of how she strives to be and appear. while most people would just associate the fairy silhouette her title of 'nova's fairy', it has a deeper meaning; milan doesn't see herself as this gracious and pretty figure. even after over a year of debut, she still sees the many ways she's lacking both as a performer and as a person. thus this drawing is the ideal she wishes to reach; beautiful, graceful and charming.

EVENT: OPEN EVENT 007 (BIRTHDAY - 2024 EDITION) POST TYPE: SOLO

milan came in here knowing one thing; her birthday drink needs to be peach based. considering the season and current temperature that seoul has been experiencing, a hot drink is out of question. and finally, since she's turning 22, said drink needs to feel ~adult~ like. something like a peach marguarita. she's never had one herself, but it sounds good and pretty adult. as for the dessert itself? truth be told, she hasn't had much time to think about it with nova's comeback preparations underway. and perhaps she's also been avoiding anything related to food lately. "so yeah, i'm not too sure about what i would like as dessert, just something light that can be eaten comfortably and that will pair well with the drink." she finishes explaining to the poor barista/baker assigned to work with her that day. she smiles innocently at the man, giving him hopefully puppy eyes after unpacking in rapid fire her various thoughts and ideas. to give props to the employee, it only takes him a few seconds to come up with various ideas.

the duo first focuses on the drink since it's clearly the main item of the combo. syrup? no. real peaches? yes. iced? maybe. frappé? hmmm. blended ice? oh, definitely! now, a leap of faith has to be done on her part and she agrees to it readily. in goes orange marmalade, italian spritz and a swirl of coco milk. after all the ingredients are blended, the employee lets milan taste the result and her eyes widen in surprise. this is exactly it! they spend some more time playing with the balance of ingredients, making the drink lean more on the sweet and silky side than icy and bitter.

once the perfect drink has been crafted, the man seems to have several suggestions for the accompanying dessert. when he explains what mini bundt cakes are, the idol is immediately drawn to them. simple with jam on top and tiny enough to be eaten in one bite seems to be the perfect accompaniment to the drink they have crafted. she watches carefully as he puts together the ingredients for the cake, noticing that it doesn't differ much from pound cakes that she's used to baking. the secret for this? buttermilk. the result is are cute and moist mini cakes that are light and perfect to eat on warm days. as garniture, milan settles on 3 jams; blackberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. the sweet yet slightly more bitter dessert end up being the perfect balance the slightly bitter yet sweeter drink in milan's opinion. after several hours and a full stomach from their various trials, thus is born the 'cocopeach' and 'play love jams' combo.

on october 9, you are asked to go to hyuncheol’s office where he is already waiting for you. “please sit down, milan.” while his presence itself can be intimidating, he does not seem angry, even maybe in a good mood. “i know you are busy, this won’t take long, don’t worry.” he begins. “it seems that your hard work has come to fruition and got yourself noticed. while the managers of the company are always trying to find opportunities for our talents, we’ve been approached directly to request your participation.” a hint of pride can be heard in his tone. “we are in no position to accept or refuse the offer ourselves, so the call is yours to make.”

milan isn’t a trainee anymore, but being called to hyuncheol’s office still fills her with worries and anxiety. not that she’s ever been called to his office to be scoleded or anything like that, but the possibility still remains. logic tells her that she never had a properly negative interaction with the man, still, in her head, he remains a stern presence that holds her future in legacy in his hands. perhaps it isn’t that simple anymore, but her status of ‘idol’ hasn’t fully sunk in just yet.

after a soft knock on the door, the rookie carefully steps in, looking much like an alarmed puppy, ready to run, tail between its legs. she hestitates before sitting down, much rather preferring to remain standing, in case she needs to run out the door, but she obliges after a few seconds.  

the truth behind being called here today turns out to be quite... surprising. “me?” she can’t help but ask. she prepared for so many doom scenarios only to be met with... a proud hyuncheol. the girl without charm, the girl who’s lacking, the girl who shouldn’t have made it. she purses her lips as her eyes fill up with tears at the way the man speaks to her. “of course i’ll do it!” she exclaims as tears burst out of her eyes.    

congratulations on hitting 200 notoriety! whew! what a ride! as a congratulatory and thank you gift from the staff, your muse has been presented with an opportunity to take part in a solo activity! the activity chosen will simply be canoned (no requirements to fulfill) and grant you +10 skill points of your choosing.
