i am asking about your souyo aus

@catnatch thank you i owe you both my Life and i'm sorry this is so damn long i'll put it under a cut...

okay strap in lol

[idol au] the first souyo au i came up with was my idol au way back in october. over time i've thought about making them both actors or youtubers or something, but I like the idol version the most cause I like idols lol

either way, this is just my excuse to have fans of souyo actually interact with them HAHA, they'd both have their own little fanbases and those fanbases would be making like “are they secretly together?! 15 minute souyo compilation” vids and whatever lol, just like real fan bases. I like the idea of them being idols because idols usually do a lot of casual life stuff, which would be prime fodder for shipper minds…

in my mind, souji would be the most popular member of their group, and would have solo performances as well. yosuke would only perform with the same group as souji, and would have a smaller fanbase but it would be pretty dedicated (just like real life lol). He’d be a massive souji oshi (sorry i'm gonna use the phrase oshi from now on cause i am a nerd but it just is slang for "favorite idol/actor/person") and go to all his solo concerts. Souji wouldn’t be able to go to any of yosuke’s performances since he’d also be performing, but he would run a fan account secretly and buy all of yosuke’s merch and go to all the pop-up collabs just to get the limited photo cards and whatnot lol.

I think they would totally push their own ship for their own self-interest, like if he’s never gonna fall in love with me at least there’s a fun excuse to get him to pretend he does, and so it gets worse and worse until everyone thinks, are they actually dating? Are they trying to create a scandal? (they would not complain if there was a scandal)

[theatre au] my next souyo AU is a theatre AU. it was originally supposed to be high school, and be really self indulgent, but japan doesn't do theatre the way america does LOL so it might have to be college instead. and i don't know if it'll ever go anywhere since writing is not my strong suit but i was planning on writing a longform fic for it, so here you can have my notes from back then instead, sorry they’re so long:

Yasogami theatre department is doing a classic this year: Romeo and Juliet

Souji is a second year transfer student who applies for a role in the fall play and not only gets in, but gets into the lead role of romeo, so obviously everyone’s talking about how talented he is for getting chosen over the third years and how he had so much chemistry with the first year professional actress who got chosen to play Juliet

Rise is Juliet lol she’s talented as hell and super popular from her time being an actual actress, she’s taking a break between roles in order to go to school but that won’t stop her from flaunting her talent and continuing to act, she’s rather sweet and she does like Souji but understands exactly how gay he is for the sound technician/temporary costume crew member

Yosuke is the sound technician and has been since he transferred in during his first year, though he’s usually on the sidelines and not many people hang out with him, but he’s talented when it comes to handling all the different moving parts of a production and has been doing it on his own for the two productions he’s been a part of

Since he’s the only sound technician he has to stay after school like every single day once the show gets going but since they don’t necessarily need him all the time he helps out other crew members when he’s not busy, so this time around since kanji’s a little overwhelmed with making all the costumes for the production he helps out in the costume department

chie and Yukiko are also actors? What role would they play in Romeo and Juliet? Well no matter what they would probably have pretty important roles that would involve them spending a lot of time around Souji just for that maximum jealousy

Kanji is obviously the head of the costume department, Yosuke has been around long enough to not be intimidated by him any more so that’s why kanji comes to him + kanji knows Yosuke has to be around anyways so he puts Yosuke to work

Probably the last person to be in costumes was a third year so kanji’s all alone as a first year and gets overwhelmed and stuff

Naoto?? Ohh naoto would be on props and set design maybe since they’re good at making things like gadgets, and they’re pretty close with kanji because of that though they’re still awkward with each other

Saki was probably a third-year when Yosuke was a first year, and turned him down because she just didn’t like him like that and rumor got out that it was because Yosuke was annoying and unhelpful and so that’s why he’s mostly around the first years now because the second and third years all remember that incident from last year. Yukiko and chie are acquaintances with him but don’t know too much about him and yu learns about yosuke’s whole rumor thing and decides to get to know him anyways

SUUUPER fluffy and cheesy with a ton of Romeo and Juliet jokes

Lots of UST from the fact that Yosuke is interacting with a half-naked Romeo for measurements and microphones and crap and since mr Romeo is one of the main roles he’s also always there even when he’s not needed so he ends up hanging out with Yosuke all the time and offers to help him study and walks him home and crap like a real romeo

They watch the Romeo + Juliet movie together one night after studying

Man this is gonna be really fucking American I’m so sorry Japan

souji gets him a bouquet on closing night and they make out during the wrap party

They get assigned as partners for a class project which is how they get closer, though they make acquaintances early on since Yosuke has to mic the cast

this is why Yosuke calls him partner

some cute ideas?

They get caught in the rain

“do I actually have a crush on him or do I just like having a guy in my year as a friend?” asks kanji for advice, kanji’s like “I dunno. I guess you’d probably want to like, kiss them and shit.” then rise pops out of the dressing room and is like “I have some advice for you, hanamura-senpai~ you wanna do dirty stuff with them” and yosuke flushes straight red

yosuke’s more of a film buff than a theatre nerd and he wants to do sound design for a living but he doesn’t feel like he’ll get into college because his grades suck and then souji teaches him how to study properly and by the end yosuke’s like “I need to get into college + I need to get into souji’s college”

souji started theatre because he was made fun of for being so emotionless as a kid and even though he joined to express himself more he still tends to revert back to being blank-faced when he’s not acting so it still seems like a drastic case. His parents don’t really like him being so into theatre and want him to be a doctor or lawyer (his parents are doctor/lawyers) but they realized theatre helps him express himself and well, that’s an important skill for doctors so they let him keep doing theatre even at the new school. He doesn’t want to be a doctor though, he wants to keep acting but he’s scared of what his parents will think and say.

The only thing holding yosuke back from becoming a sound design major is his grades, he tells souji that “sure my dad won’t be happy that I’m choosing a dead-end major with no job security instead of becoming a manager at Junes, but when has my dad yelling at me ever stopped me before?”

Actual outline for first chapter (unfinished)

Second year classroom, Souji gets introduced by King Moron as a transfer student, classroom is in a little bit of chaos because Souji is cute and there’s already been rumors that he signed up for auditions for the newest play alongside Risette

Yosuke is a little uninterested and jealous because he definitely didn’t get this kind of reception when he transferred in during the middle of last year

Meanwhile, Chie asks if Souji can sit next to her and Yukiko

Class starts after King Moron gets annoyed and starts yelling

After class, Chie and Yukiko start talking to Souji, and Chie eventually asks him whether the rumors are true and if he’s really going to audition alongside THE risette and he replies cooly “yeah”

Before everyone leaves, Souji goes out of his way to turn around and introduce himself to Yosuke as well, and Yosuke is a little surprised but introduces himself politely, a little subdued and not into the interaction and Souji seems to pick up on this, frowning but resigned

Yosuke starts thinking about Souji and theatre as he packs up, thinking about how Souji seems nice but probably will ignore Yosuke just like his other classmates after what happened with Saki last year, even if he doesn’t know about yosuke’s backstory at the moment

He’s walking to the drama room since he’s a second year so he already has things to start on, and they’ve announced the play today and he needs to know so he can get started on sound work and helping out the others

He sees people crowding around the audition signups, and turns out they’re looking at Risette’s signature and taking pictures, and also looking at Souji’s name, besides each of their names are the roles they’d prefer playing and of course Risette went for Juliet and Souji went for Romeo

Yosuke doesn’t realize that the play is Romeo and Juliet until he sees the signups, and is immediately annoyed because now he’ll have to see people make Romeo and Juliet jokes all term + annoyed that of course Souji went for the Romeo role, probably just wants to get w/ Risette because ofc she’s gonna get the Juliet role she’s a professional actress

At least Risette probably won’t hear about the thing that happened last year too quick since she’s a first year, so maybe Yosuke can make a good impression when it comes to probably the only half-okay thing about this play

Anyways he heads for the drama room, meets with the drama teacher/director (mr hosoi?) and figures out that there’s even fewer people in crew this year since a lot of the people who tended to hop between the two decided to give cast a shot since risette was in the play

so yosuke has to help out with other things, and he won’t have any help with sound really

ayane’s introduced here and yosuke manages to put on a nice smile but she seems REALLY unreliable and he’s resigned to having to manage her while balancing the billion other things he’s got to do. Really, it’s like he’s the assistant student director without the title

[vampire souji and werewolf yosuke au]

this one is really self explanatory, it’s just an excuse for me to think about dogboy yosuke some more lol. I think the rest of the IT would be different supernatural creatures as well, so that they can all hang out. No personas, and they’d probably be in college or something if I ever made something for this au specifically.

[spiderman au]

i've posted this one a few times before (links here and here), but basically yosuke is spiderman, souji is mj, rise is the woman in the chair helping yosuke out. souji is a curious student reporter looking to find out the secret behind the mask (but when he does he obviously doesn't report on it). yosuke starts to get to know souji through school, and they partner up for a school project, while rise's tearing her hair out over the fact that yosuke's getting a crush on the guy who's trying to unmask him. i think it'd be pretty fluffy tho if you wanted to go more angsty spiderman, saki would make a good gwen stacy

[genderbend au]

i wrote about this one here

[idol souji and junes employee yosuke au]

okay now my silliest AU is. really dumb and i've never talked about it, but it's kind of my favorite lol. in this one, souji's an idol, while yosuke's still just working a normal job as a manager in some tokyo junes. they never met during high school, so yosuke's kind of just drifting by as his pre-social link self, going to work, coming home, average capitalism grind yknow? except in his spare time, he's a massive risette/kanamin oshi, like MASSIVE. he spends all his money on idol goods and lives in a one bedroom apartment with that one bedroom being an idol shrine, like just awful cringiest deepest secret no person would want to touch that with a 10 foot pole. so he's a decently respectable junes manager with a secret weird hobby. life is pretty alright for him, he enjoys his idols well enough, but one day they go onto a variety show with a bunch of other groups. and wouldn't you know it, they've managed to pull the hottest most popular idol in japan right now, seta souji, for their performance tonight. male idols were never even on yosuke's radar before this, because male idols are for loser otaku women and yosuke's not gay. except… this guy is really… cute… and hot… and charismatic…

and suddenly cut to yosuke a few months later, shrine overtaken with souji merch and posters and photocards and… two distinct life size cardboard cutouts…? and he's on 2chan roasting all of souji's haters and now his terrible idol habit is even deeper of a secret because he's kind of obsessed with souji. but he's still working as a normal junes manager, and he's absolutely flawless about keeping up appearances so that nobody suspects anything about him.

one day at junes, though, he spots the hottest man he has ever seen (besides souji, ofc) shopping and makes an absolute fool out of himself. i'm talking stammering, stuttering, and eventually spilling his mop water all over Hot Guy's expensive designer clothes because he is just way too attractive for yosuke to keep it together. yosuke apologizes desperately and is like is there any way i can make it up to you, dreading the drycleaning bill, to which Hot Guy responds, you can repay me by letting me take you out on a date. oh sure, sure, a date… HUH? souji takes his stunned silence as reluctance, and is like sorry, i thought you were interested, i'll just go now… and yosuke yet again trips all over himself to be like no holy shit idc what this means for my sexuality

he has no clue what Hot Guy's name is, so he asks, and Hot Guy responds with narukami yu (gasp, shocker!!) seta souji is so popular that he is not allowed to go outside as himself, he's disguised with a beanie and different hairstyle and different makeup and a new wardrobe and of course, a different name. so yosuke just thinks he's somehow found some super rich hot guy off the streets of tokyo that happens to match his exact type (his type being japan's number one idol Seta Souji)

so they go out on their date and their chemistry is kind of insane, yosuke has the time of his life (i'm thinking yosuke probably didn't get out much either before this, probably dated like maybe one person at most, he's a homebody) and at the end yosuke's like man, this food was great, i wish i could eat like this every day. yu is like, i can cook for you, yosuke thinks when did i die and go to heaven why is this guy even interested in me but he accepts, goes to yu's extremely expensive designer apartment the next night, and there yu is like, i really like you, will you go out with me, of course yosuke accepts

turns out souji's cousin, nanako, goes to this junes and has talked about this very cheerful, clumsy, cute manager, and souji decides to do some recon because that's totally his type, falls in love from afar, and takes the opportunity when he gets dirty mop water all over him to ask yosuke out. except now that they're dating, he can't seem to figure out how to tell yosuke that he's actually seta souji, not narukami yu. and yosuke's getting a little suspicious. however, yosuke still pretends he is not a massive souji seta oshi, and even though he's comfortable enough to admit his appreciation for risette and kanamin, he has no intentions of ever divulging his seta shrine lol

probably one day, they're out drinking, enjoying themselves, and stumble back drunk to yosuke's apartment cause it's closer. except yosuke still has not talked about his thing, and souji still hasn't talked about HIS thing, and as they stumble into yosuke's tiny one bedroom apartment and yu fumbles the door to the singular bedroom open, they both see the shrine at the same time. and at the same time, yosuke blurts out "i can explain" while yu says "i'm seta souji"

and then reveal shenanigans, yosuke totally freaks out and gets super embarassed, while souji is kind of amused and very very touched that his boyfriend loves both sides of him so much, and jokes about how yosuke doesn't have to settle for cardboard now (yosuke dying of embarassment)

and he gets introduced to risette and kanamin and gets to freak out about that too

WOW i really just wrote a synopsis huh… i hope you enjoy reading through all that, the 2 people who made it to the end i love you xoxoxo

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.
