I'm imagining us late one rainy night in the mid 1920s sitting in a smokey bar off the main road of a bustling city, having this argument while you're wearing a red sparkly dress and a fur coat and I'm an exhausted trench coat wearing detective who just finished a miserable shift. Does this make sense

yeah and you're INSULTING my WIFE who is SITTING AT HOME ENJOYING A NICE BOOK

Reminding you of this cause my sister screenshotted it

HIYA KIWI

Do you have any nuggets of wisdom (Hikari hcs) that you wanna share with the class?

BOY DO I!

Anyways here’s a list

-He’s Biromantic Asexual. I don’t make the rules

-He neurodivergent. Projecting on him and giving him slight ADHD but I wouldn't be surprised if he has other things that fall under the neurodivergent umbrella

-When he entered the Shrine of the Thunderblade he told Brand to shut up, not knowing that it's Brand and not the Shadow

-There's a really complicated plan that he and Rai Mei came up with when they were younger so that if ever there is pressure to marry someone and they just put an arranged marriage on each other since they like each other enough to be saying that they're legally married and just so people can stop bugging them on it. That moment where you and your friend like each other a lot but not romantically but everyone is kind of putting pressure on you to marry someone so you just marry each other so that people would shut up

-He's that kid who probably is going to go through Gifted Kid Burnout. Or already did. We don't know his childhood. But he's going to go through it and it's going to suck ass.

-He likes walking on ledges and stuff. It's fun to practice balance and he likes being tall. Everyone sort of goes and makes sure that he doesn't fall when he does this.

-Secondary Job I feel like he sticks to the most is the Apothecary Job. He wants to heal people with his hands. To help them. To ease their wounds.

-Hikari's sense of humor is all over the place because of his friendships with Ritsu, Rai Mei, and Kazan. His sense of humor just goes all over the place. Which one do you want, puns, visual punchline, or hypothetical situations.

-I'm making him partially Filipino from his Mom's side because I'm projecting and because I am incapable of not doing that with everyone. He speaks broken Tagalog and is trying his best with it. He probably teaches himself when he is with the Travelers

-He tends to pick up mannerisms that the people he's around has. Like he just picks them up and incorporates them into his routine subconsciously

-He has that thing where he loathes silence but at the same time loathes noise. There's a good middle part somewhere

-He struggles with self-confidence and acceptance. There are many cons in having a Curse who wishes for violence at every turn and tries to tempt you into it and tells you that you're terrible. Honestly the Curse can be described as Intrusive Thoughts in my opinion

-He puts too much pressure on himself. Way too much pressure.

-Has those thoughts where he wants nothing more than to kill Mugen but at the same time still wants to love Mugen

-Honestly his thoughts with family is complicated. He wants to leave the moment he can but he needs to stay for his people and it'll feel like defeat if he truly leaves. He wants things to be okay but they aren't. He wishes that he had a normal family experience and not a broken one

-I think he would play an instrument. I don't know what but he would. He should actually. As a treat

-Honestly if he had an element assigned to him I would have done Lightning

OK SO Agnea gets her hands on the script for pto and decides she absolutely has to do a performance of it. Cast:

Christine: Agnea

Raoul: Hikari

Phantom: Osvald

Carlotta: Dolcinaea

Joseph: (you know the guy that gets hanged) Partitio

André: Temenos

The other theater owner whose name I csnt remember: Ort

And idk about Madame Giry or Meg just yet.

The fic would follow the gang as they prep for all of this and the final chapter is the opening performance. It sorta comedic but also has some hurt/comfort elements. The main one that I can think of off the top of my head is that Osvald really wants Elena to be able to watch it but he's concerned about if she can because of the fire in the final act so there'd be a chapter where they sit down and talk about that a bit <3 I am deeply obsessed with Osvald so it is also mostly Osvald pov but certain chapters would be Agnea pov

Ooo this sounds so cool! I love the casting choices here they're all pretty fitting. I could see Clarissa making a good Madame Giry tbh, unless she'd prefer to be in the audience? Not sure about Meg myself either tho but I also like just woke up so I might have another suggestion later if you didn't already come up with smth

AHHHH OSVALD WORRYING THE FIRE'S GONNA SCARE ELENA BCUS OF HARVEY!!! That's sweet and I can totally see why they'd be concerned about that (I headcanon that Osvald himself wasn't too fond of fire for a while after his house burnt down and still internally freaks out if he smells smth burning and doesn't know what it is, so it'd make sense for Elena to fear fire too). I am also obsessed with Osvald lol, he'll make a great Phantom

Tell me everything about your favorite side character

favorite side character? that is… not easy to say. I like a lot of them.

I guess I could talk a bit about emily? she’s the daughter of the woman who’s assassinated in arc 1 section 1. she woke up and immediately her entire world was falling apart.

lori took her in and took care of her like she promised she would, and they were fairly close.

though emily eventually learns 1, who paid for the hit, and 2, who carried it out, and she’s mad.

all she can think about is revenge beyond that, and while she doesn’t tell lori, lori can feel that there’s tension, and she knows she’s at risk if it ever bubbles over and results into a conflict… though she does help emily confront the person who paid for it.

as for what I plan on doing with that….. well. you’ll see.
