I'd be more inclined 2 go along w/ a silly female lead's delusions that the male lead of the isekai novel isn't fallin in love w/ her because of the plot if she wasn't actually capable 2 change things in the story; how u gonna believe u can stop the end of the world n make tangible changes but the male lead clearly showin u favor is fakin it, be serious, be real, stopdointhis4plotdrama

Timeeee to flesh out a dream I just had!
A story about an anime club of four gals who are in student court, fighting to keep their club from being disbanded after it's found out that their budget didn't go to club activities and they haven't been able to meet the quota set 4 an active club.
Of course, like every single media involving school court, it's somehow a very serious trial where all sorts of secrets and lies are exposed about the school, the club members, and the facility and student body in general. It's first made 2 come across as the anime club gals are shallow and don't really care about their club and it's own mismanagement due to infighting that's led to this, but it's actually a great combo of outside forces who don't want them to enjoy this space they've made for themselves.
Sometimes it's goofy, sometimes it's supah dupah serious, but it's about that classic band of four gals just tryna have a good time. Heavily inspired by kc green's comic, that one adult swim pilot, and the first arc plot of a webtoon I was reading about an anime club that was being actively bullied.
Probably one thing set is that it's quietest member is actually the student body president who was the original president and like all student body presidents, she's the ~most popular girl in school~, but had to publicly quit the club when it seemed to harm her reputation-- It wasn't that, they were just getting too many members who didn't actually care about anime or manga. So she rejoined as a mousy gal.
Someone who knows that the mousy gal is still the student body president is who leaked the information about their club mismanagement in order to get her to quit for good.
Each gal has their own quirks and home life situations that made them seek solace with each other and stay together despite all the chaos and confusion.
When I say kc green, so you kNOW there's a battle between the two super geeks who are actually in love with each other, which gets revealed through the trial.
In the end, they don't win-- They dO, but it ends up with their club supervisor being the true villain who was stealing their club funds and manipulated each girl with lies to keep all the money and caused some of the infighting like.. Getting fired for that. No other teacher is willing to do the job after the chaos of the trial, so, the club really does get disbanded.
All in all, they go back to their humble roots of just sitting in the local library to read together and find peace amongst themselves-- a peace they hadn't felt since they decided to start the club in the first place.

Been thinkin bout Ki n Shapiro lately which has just amounted to the dynamic of,
Shapiro: [staring intensely into space] [ringing in his ears n swirls n swirls n spirals n spirals] [I AM EXPERIENCING THE HORRORS MORE FREQUENTLY AND RAPIDLY, I AM CLAWING AT AIR AND THE EARTH WILL REFUSE MY ROT]
Ki: //walks by// Hey.
Shapiro: //breaks the stupor// I saw three birds today.

Shoutout 2 past Sam 4 makin dumbass jokes that somehow magically fit into random plot points I make later,
Shapiro's mild obsession with becoming a grandfather comes from Gaspard who's one of the only people he's stolen good memories from-- The ones where he genuinely wanted to be a good grandfather to all his grandbabies but decided he needed to kill that feeling, nomatterhowstrong--
Gaspard decided that any sort of redemption or show of good will is meaningless, he made his bed, it was almost time to lie in it. Best to go out strong rather than falter to what he called a passing whim of weakness.
Shapiro doesn't actually mistake these for his own memories since plenty have Jack and himself in them. But these memories are one of the few refuges he has in mindscape since the overwhelming majority of stolen memories are bad. He doesn't get why the person in the memory wanted them gone, but he feels the fondness they once had to the sliver of hope to do better-- Even if Shapiro was part of the reason why that sliver was eagerly destroyed.

Literal years later, it's time for more random dialogue with mostly study abroad peoples with some of Tania's fam thrown in the mix! Get ready for terrible dialogue such as:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Domingo: I almost got Carrie killed twice. I don't want to risk doing that ever again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Desmond: I'm not saying we're the good guys, oh, we're definitely not. I don't think there's any good guys here. Just dumbasses fighting for survival.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack: Why and how did I start taking these evening walks with you?
Steve: I'm like a mold, I just sorta creeped up on you and now you can't get rid of me without cutting off your own head.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sebastian: I think I'm genuinely having an aneurysm.
Jack: That's good, my evil intentions have come into fruition.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I read what I previously wrote about Shapiro's power,
I did say that he doesn't erase memories, he "steals" them, but the whole other thing is that he can't really differentiate what are his memories from others since y'know.. memories are first person pov. All he can see is what they saw and they mix in with his.
And since Shapiro typically only steals bad memories... Yeah.
The only people who's memories don't get lost in the void are Jack and Jewel's since they spend so much time with him that he's able to space them away properly. This method would probably work in general if Shapiro wasn't such a nomad like his dad, wandering all over the place and not getting close.
This actually makes sense for Courtney's plotbunny where he has something important to tell her once he's able to recognize a memory that's not his own due to spending more time with her and now that she's been accidentally filling in some of the gaps in his memory, he recognizes like oh! that seems like vital information.
And since Shapiro is on a constant loop of "erasing" his own memories, washing them over and over, anything something is dredged up to the surface, it's ickyyyy for him! Shapiro thinks of himself as a really evil person and sealing himself away is the only thing he's able to do.
Lamont knows Shapiro has this power, he knows of everyone's power. He's the one who sells Shapiro's power as a false "penance" for people as "if God truly forgave you, you wouldn't be stuck with that guilt now would you?" and has Shapiro "erase" that guilt by stealing the memory.
Lamont is hoping that Shapiro just ups and explodes one day. He's the ticking time bomb he's invested in. Having to digest all of humanity's shameful secrets and mistakes.. C'moonnnn last straw on the camel's back, bREAK

"I… Like…!" She was strangling out those words with all her might. If she dared let go, they would be lost forever, never to be dug out again from its graveyard, this being its second revival after being betrayed again and left in a shallow grave above the one dug six foot deep.
"Luna Penelope!" There. She said it. She said it!
If only the person truly meant to hear those words were here.
Ki blinked, shoving his hands into his pockets, staring across from her in this secluded area of her garden. Is this the reason why she dragged him out the banquet alone?
"…? Okay? I like her too?" He did all he could to keep from snickering, strolling over.
Angel shook her head, the wisps of her once tightly bunned hair flying, "No, I REALLY like her!"
"And I REALLY like her too?" Just one more step.
She could feel herself getting red in the face, eyes squeezed tight, tighter than the fists by her side,
"No, you clueless idiot! What I'm saying is--"
"You really think I don't get what you're saying?"
Angel didn't even notice how Ki closed the gap between them. In this physical realm and in so many other ways. She was struck silent, staring straight into the faint boundary lines she was about to cross in his sparkling eyes.
From decent friend..
To enemy.
Ki smiled. His usual smile. Nothing more, nothing less, crystal clear as if nothing had changed, as if day wasn't succumbing to night.
"I like her too. Same as you. So what are you going to do about it?"
Nothing was in her throat, her thoughts, or her tremble.
Tremble?
Why was she trembling?
She broke their eye contact to connect to the feel of her shaking hands, looking back up to him with that same shake in her eyes.
Ki blinked, his face paled with worry, hastily backing away from Angel, waving his hands, confused by the change in her demeanor,
"Angie, whoa! Wow! Woooow! What's with that?! Where's the rude brash girl that I've come to know?! I thought you've had a snappy comeback! Are you okay?"
"…" Nothing would come out, a cork had been shoved in. Someone had found a shovel and the dirt was being thrown back in.
Ki frowned, "…Angie, you're a nice girl. I have no plans to get in your way."
Who's hand is that on her shoulder?
The gap was closed again but still distant with Ki looking off to the side, admiring the bounty of flowers that were accompanying them for this funeral,
A death to their friendship. He really did think they were friends. Obviously... Angel didn't feel the same way. Was it always like this? When did this start? He couldn't ask her. Left to his own imagination, he could surmise it was from the moment they met.
Well. That doesn't feel good. Somehow, that hurt more in a different way, fighting through it regardless,
"... And I hope you can give me the same sort of courtesy."
Angel couldn't see Ki anymore. She couldn't see anything. It was a curse that her ears were still working.
"We can let Penny decide who she likes better." He shrugged, trying to play it off lightly, chuckling, still wanting to hold onto what they had before they couldn't go back to how it was.
Things were different now. Did they have to be? Sure. Maybe? Maybe not? And, he said what he felt in his heart,
"Who knows? She might not choose either of us."
"You're wrong."
Who's voice is that?
Who's that person standing before her? Why does.. She feel so warm?
It wasn't a comfortable warm. No, it was like burning alive. One that burned the cork into ashes. One that set the graveyard of her mind ablaze.
She didn't want to hear that. Not from him. Not from anyone. Her was voice was clearer, demanding his attention, the same was said of her eyes that whipped him, made it impossible to ignore.
"Luna Penelope will choose me."
"…" Ki chuckled. He felt it deep in his throat, uncaring if his action would be misunderstood. It would be better if it was. But there it is.
There she is.
Everything would be okay.
His grin shining bright, glad this wouldn't be a battle, but an all out war. In his philosophy, the path to anything worth having is never made easy. Phew! She really had him worried for a second. His chuckling ceased, nodding to her as his friend for the last time in a while, maybe forever with no regrets lingering in his tone,
"I guess we'll see."

Wheee so many things have changed in my head due 2 this plotbunny! //even considering buying a new drawing tablet since the pen scrapping of my current one discourages me 2 draw //so fickle
Anyway!
Danielle is working as a substitute teacher at Venecoast Academy and wants a permanent position to avoid having to move back home
Miss Casey - A group teacher at Venecoast Academy who encourages Danielle 2 take the open position at the supernatural side of the academy without telling her thaaaaat it'ssupernatural
Danielle first thinks that Casey is playing a prank on her because the outer walls of the supernatural half look abandoned bUT THEN U WALK IN-- Aaaaand waitwhat, whathappenedtothedoor?!
Jun AKA Junebug -- popular teacher at the hooman school, heavily admired by many staff, worked w/ Danielle one summer when they were teenagers at a summer camp-- Got the nickname Junebug because he was in charge of making bug juice at the camp - chill frands, unaware that people think that they have a thing for each other, no blushing or nervous stuttering involved just LOL what are you talking about? Jun and Dani are annoying due to their inside jokes
Miss Quiche - lackadaisical assistant teacher at the supernatural school. A dragon using a humanoid form who became a teacher for the fun parts, not the paperwork and being responsible for proving a solid foundation to children part. Hoards school supplies and has to be reprimanded by children 2 remember 2 share.
//does a quick google search
Amos! That's the name of the vampire dude that I'm giving Catholic guilt to.
Long backstory short about the school, it was opened before the classic hooman vs not-hooman war and acted as a safe haven 2 not-hoomans due 2 being ran by nuns who believed that all life is sacred and worthy of love. Unfortunately, when the war began, maaaany people didn't feel the same as them.
They began to take care of the orphans created by the war but their refusal to discriminate led to, y'know, their murders. The school was taken over and segregated w/ poor conditions and was a way for the hoomans 2 feel superior by dangling their scraps and having an outlet 2 hurt those weaker than them with no where 2 escape to.
One of the surviving nuns, Esther, managed 2 make it to supernatural territory and became one herself, idk what yet beyond "probably vampire" or a pact w/ a devil -- Rite before the stalemate, she managed 2 regain control of the school but continued the segregation -- now with the excuse that it would be "safer" for the supernatural peeps.
Amos grew up in this school through this all~! Twas an orphan of the war and was taken in by the nuns. He's like a son to Esther. He's also one of the few remaining people who have stayed by her side through this all.
Esther is still the current principal of the school and is rarely seen in the human school.
Giving Amos pink eyes just for the sake of giving him the nickname Momo cause his eyes look like peaches WOO.
Esther wants to believe that the school could be rejoined together, but every time she dips her toes by putting up the flyer for the hooman teachers to join, it's laughed off as a prank or they just quit immediately.
The stalemate is shy of 200 years old. Many hoomans go about their lives, using the supernatural as a means for a punchline as if they never really existed since they have gone quiet and seemingly uninvolved in hooman affairs. The taboos and propaganda have stuck where anything seriously having to do with the supernatural and magic is frowned upon. It's gotten better with recent years.. But, y'know, not in a good way //refuses 2 elaborate
Only a few places like Venecoast Academy and the surrounding town still breath in the war fresh in their lungs. Many have wounds that have yet to heal.
There are many places like the supernatural school of Venecoast Academy where you'll end up in a different world entirely and yet, still earth. The previous segregation was literally just another run down building but Esther made it a world of its own and yet, still earth.
Amos and Henrietta were both cursed out of love and the selfish desire 2 have them survive, even without that love 2 continue sheltering them.
Idk how much I wanna stick with this but-- catholic guilt GO-- Amos was born into slavery where Christianity was taught and enforced as a means to teach punishment-- And one such punishment was being turned into a vampire as an unholy being who would never see the gates of heaven. "Salvation" was also used punishment, saying you'll be washed of your sins if you step into the sunlight and die. All the vampires were malnourished and weak and told their weird cravings were sins coming to light, evil evil evil!
Amos' mother Abigail was turned into a vampire for reasons and reasons cOUGHladyofthehousewasjellycOUGH but having been taught to read and write, she managed to find out the truth about their cravings and led the vampires to rebel. Just when she was just about to escape with her son through the confusion, she was cornered and told to kill her son.
Having known that there was no way she was making it out alive regardless, she turned him in a vampire, though luckily the people who cornered her just thought her son was dying through the transformation process. Having nourishment, she was able to kill those who cornered them. But alas, the sun was coming up and now she was ~dead~ tired! //ba dum tss// She was also burning to death from holy water and stray sun rays.
She managed to get him a shady spot and told him she was going to go watch the sun rise. And welp, bye bye momma, this was her salvation.
His mom also had the foresight to teach him vampire ways before her death, so he had a basic understanding of the do's and do not's until he was able to make it to the academy and was taken in by the nuns who practiced the faith that led to his family being killed. Of course, they didn't follow any of the evil nonsense that he was led to believe in and was taught about the power of unconditional love, but yknow, gotta lather in that catholic guilt, eventually, somewhere,
Amos is also wary of hoomans, but puts his all into teaching history, because, he never wants to forget what happened to him and so many others. But then he just comes off strict to the older students who have long buried their interest in seeing the rest of the world that's locked away from them.
Welp, that's enough rambling! I'll refine this nonsense later, or maybe not! Whichever, whatever

Something terribly silly that happens in this story is a whole
"dANIELLA, I'VE BEEN KEEPING THIS A SECRET FROM YOU, BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY A--"
And Daniella's just "? Yeah? I already knew that?"
She cAN'T be a witch, I already have so many witches,
--- Decides days later that nO she's just gonna be a regular degular HOOMAN, no special OP powers or abilities for her, shE'S CUT OFF-

The main person keeping Danielle at the school w/ magic and trickery is a lil second grader naaaamed Henrietta
The known story is that she's a vampire who was bitten as a child and her mental capacity never developed despite the years
Innnn actuality, there's a few people who know the truth that Henriette is a witch. She became an orphan due to the war and saw the carnage firsthand. Her mother, with her dying breath, meant to cast a spell, but accidentally casted a curse instead on Henrietta that prevents her from getting hurt and feeling pain-- But will never be cured until Henriette truly feels save/okay in the world
At the cost of the curse, it also stopped her aging. She's actually very book intelligent but truly does act like a child since she stays within herself. For her, life has just been one long terrible day since the curse also means that she doesn't need to sleep [even before this, she was the troublemaker who was always awake during nap time].
She seems like an emotionless lil girl to most but Danielle clinches her fate when she helps Henrietta find the doll that she "lost"-- Her typical test to see which teachers that wander in that she would like to remain at the supernatural portion of the school
She's been adopted by the head vampire dude who's not unaware of her strong magic, but doesn't know how she's been manipulating the human teachers to stay, looking for the one who will make her trust in the human world again so the curse will be broken.
Witches in this story are rejected by humanity but they also don't completely fit into the supernatural world either, they're caught inbetween but have mostly been accepted by the supernatural while humans think they're traitors for messing with demons n devils, y'know, witch trials n nonsense are still a dumbass thing
Spoiler for a thing I will probably not write, but y'know, the true healing to the curse is to not feel like "I will never get hurt again!" but "I might get hurt and that's okay, I can heal, especially with the help of those around me" aka Henrietta actually trying to reach out to people instead of playing these childish mind games
Wow, I rly like this story that was just an offset of a dream i had three hours ago

Been reading a loooooot of misunderstanding romantic and/or comedy mangas/manwhas/mahuas lately and just had a dream of my own story [where i can now see where the obvious inspirations are coming from]!
Danielle works as a new teacher in a seemingly simple boarding school, unaware that there's one building dedicated to the supernatural with a baaad reputation among the mostly hooman school. She's not hated by her fellow teachers but she has a few who are unrealistically jelly of her ~for being oblivious to her natural beauty [and special attention paid to her by the teacher everyone likes]~ to the point of putting her in harm's way by deciding to task her with heading to the supernatural floor to hand over the blood donation collection money to the head teacher, unaware that human teachers typically don't come back from this floor [under the assumption that they're getting murked]"
In actuality, what's been happening is that the supernatural/fantasy kids are so hungry to interact with the human world, they end up keeping the human teachers there to be their teachers instead!*
The head teacher is a vampire who truly dislikes humans but ya KNOW, there's something ~special about Danielle~, but is clumsily tryING to help her to leave, but she doesn't really trust him after their first meeting, typically running at the sight of him
Danielle's caught between trying to figure out how to help the supernatural peeps so she can leave while ~navigating her new developing feelings as she slooowly lets herself trust that the head teacher is trying to help her~
Meanwhile, back in the human school, two teachers with a crush on Danielle make their own separate journeys to go save her from the supernatural floor, one who actually knows what's the true reason she's gone and the other, just as clueless and thinkin she might get murked
*I do wanna say thaaat- Danielle dOES get to go home... you know what, pulling on the main inspiration i'm getting this story from, this school is a boarding school
--already editing-- Actually, Danielle makes a pledge to help the school reintegrate before her contract is up and slowly introduce the kids to the hooman world so they won't use any more trickery or magic on her
One child casts a spell on her that no one recognizes her as Danielle once she leaves their building -- Will I stick to this point? Maybe, maybe not, it does have angst potential as she happens to seek out information about what her jelly teachers thought of her-- hmmm, but idk about this, maybe if she agrees to this as she tries to break the supernatural kids free of their clingyness to humans, especially the ones who've only shown them kindness
I pulled Danielle's name outta thin air and already have a look 4 her in mind, but I can't exactly draw it until my room is finally cleaned up
Happy with this idea! :'D It's dumb, it's silly, and it's exactly a mismash of all the stories i've been reading lately
What to call this new plotbunny??? "My Time at Venecoast Academy"? Surewhynot
It's told from Danielle's POV, in voiceover diary entries as she's only has a two-year contract with the school. She's there for reasons and reasons of her own that I don't know about yet, but definitely a means of escape from her previous life
There's also a whole history thing of how this school was supposed mark the once turning point of the world by bridging the world between humans and the fantasy/supernatural, but then a war broke out-- The war has now ended in a declared stalemate/ceasefire/flimsy truce, and the school has suffered from this, struggling to find teachers who are willing to work with the supernatural even if they've caved to the point of segregating the school, going completely against its original mission.
I like this! I'm wild enough, I might try to draft a short introductory comic about this, it's really jumping out 2 me about where I'm getting these ideas from, iwon'tsaywhere, bUT, wow, the influence is strooong with this
Another thing, is that the teachers who "disappeared" in the school are either continuing to work in the school or the head vampire teacher arranges it for things and things that happen where they never contact the school again?? idk, something like that, it doesn't happen tHAT often enough for there to be a whole conspiracy, but gossips like 2 gossip, whatcanIsay
Let's see if I return to this in the future! Good luck Danielle, u poor old teacher you,

Anyway, rereading Sakamoto Days is gr8 cause just now realizing how little we know of Sakamoto’s past beyond being a former assassin. The dude didn’t even know what a department store was, what was even his life,
