Luckily, she felt the air a fraction of a second before the claws, which gave her time to move a little back and to the side, both to dodge the blow, and to generate the momentum to jump away from the attackers, from the demons... because they were demons, right?

Rumi kept forgetting that she didn't always have to dodge, she could simply disappear in a ball of smoke (now almost always white with a small blue-gold glow, like a cloud at the end of dawn). She found a demon, yes, but not just any one, but herself reflected in a form she had never taken.

The Rumi in front of her had long, curved upper fangs splitting her smile, the purplish and greyish skin of the Joseung Saja, and the same claws. Her (their) patterns were also completely spread over her(their) body, in the ugly color of bruises, making it look like that body was dead after months without sun and some impressive beatings.

She continued to dodge out of pure muscle memory.

Her right hand developed its own claws and faced the other. An amused laugh came from the other mouth.

"Good reflexes," Other-Rumi barked, "Is Gwi-ma trying new methods? Where did you get those Christmas lights?” They scoffed, but the question seemed genuine.

“I don't know what you're talking about, demon. The same trick isn't going to work twice, so you better try something else." Rumi cursed under her breath when she didn't feel her cell phone in any of her pockets. “I needed to call them.”

“Come on, don't be a killjoy! I also want a new set of lights," they said casually as they jumped again to attack Rumi. “Up close they look even better; I have nothing against purple, but it's not really my favorite color, you know?”

No, Rumi's favorite color was not purple, but green. But the world had to believe that it was so. Were they spying on her? Other-Rumi's attacks became vicious when she didn't respond. She had to stop playing. She had to use… that's when she noticed it. This wasn't the old Honmoon, nor the Golden One, nor even their new Rainbow. This Honmoon vibrated with the old deep blue with purple patches. The feeling she got from it was warm and sticky, like thick blood, and it felt thirsty for blood too.

“What's happening? What new demon is feeding on Gwi-ma's remains to cause this? Speak, demon!”

The pale Rumi's smile faltered for a moment, but soon widened again.

“Gwi-ma's remains? Then that idiot is really dying.”

Rumi narrowed her eyes, suspicious of what this demon was saying. Sure, she and her girls weren't sure that Gwi-ma was dead, but it had been months since the Idol Awards. They were already halfway to the next ones, and not a single demon had passed through… but this was not the Rainbow Honmoon. It didn't make any sense. She didn't remember...

The demon attacked once again. They attacked viciously with their claws, even trying to bite Rumi's hand with more prominent fangs than a moment ago. Two golden eyes. It was giving Rumi a bad itch to have this in front of her, without thinking further, she called her sword. The Honmoon resisted, but it was fine, Rumi had never felt it so weak and bloody. They could repair it, together, there was nothing they couldn't repair.

The great sword with the essence of Jinu came into her hands and Other-Rumi's eyes widened and she felt a morbid pleasure at unbalancing this demon that insisted on fighting with her appearance. It was making Rumi sick. It had to end now. But she was certainly one of the best contenders she had ever fought. Maybe it was a new type of imitator demon? “Never underestimate demons, Rumi,” she heard Celine's warning in her mind.

After this fight Rumi would have to tell her, ask if there was any demon that could copy the fighting style of their adversaries. In one of Zoey's animes there were demons with just that special ability.

Then the other Rumi began to fight desperately, dodging and trying with sneak attacks, none of them managed to connect an attack that would end the fight. Then the demon teleported a few meters away. The two were catching their breath.

"You’re stronger than I thought," said the demon.

The dull patterns on her pale skin lit up into a neon purple and the next moment, two more purple clouds appeared flanking them.

Rumi almost dropped her sword and almost fell off the edge of the building she was standing on, the night and the city glowing around her.

First the confusion, then the pain?, then the expressions returning to neutrality and the two new demons (although nothing on their skin revealed it, but how else were they going to teleport in the middle of smoke and sulfur?) they got into combat positions, also raising their hands, instead of calling for their weapons, but that was good. 

Rumi said that the same trick wasn't going to work twice, but of course seeing other demons pretending to be her girlfriends was horrible.

“Rumi, what the hell is that demon playing at?”Demon-Mira asked.

"It seems like a new trick of the demons or Gwi-ma," said Rumi-demon, apparently following the same logic as Rumi.

"The realism is impressive, but it didn't take the sword into account," said Zoey-demon. Rumi held said sword better and stood firm again, waiting for the next attack.

"Be careful, she called it from the Honmoon," Rumi-demon ordered and informed them.

Again, a flash of pain and guilt? pierced through the other Mira and Zoey.

- - - - - - - -

With her greatsword ready, Rumi launched her attack, straight for the other Rumi (because it was much easier to attack her own reflection than any demon disguised as her girlfriends for… reasons). In her path, she encountered the Zoey-demon, her eyes gleaming like liquid gold. Her claws attacked fiercely, but they were no match for Rumi's mastery.

The fight continued for a few minutes, with Rumi attacking with every trick in the book, only to be intercepted each time by the Zoey-demon, whose mischievous smile had vanished, replaced by sweat. The other Rumi and Mira-demon followed closely behind, but didn't truly engage. They were tiring her out; she couldn't win against all three of them in this state. And the Honmoon wasn't responding well to her calls; Rumi needed all her skills and strength to jump and land without injury on the… rough streets of Seoul? She didn't have time to notice the details around her.

Her ankle twisted on a pothole, and Zoey-demon managed to land a blow. Before she could strike again, Mira-demon stopped her, but it seemed unnecessary, because Zoey-demon was staring in horror at her hand, covered in red blood. The other Rumi approached with an annoyed expression.

"What's going on? Why don't you finish her off?" she demanded, stopping abruptly, her anger turning to confusion as she saw Zoey-demon's hand and how it began to tremble.

"Rumi... Rumi, it's blood," said Mira-demon.

The three seemed completely consumed by the fact. Rumi didn't know whether to focus on Zoey-demon, who looked pale and about to vomit, on Mira-demon (Rumi still didn't understand why she had stopped her companion), or on the other Rumi, who was looking at the red claws with curiosity, wearing the same expression Rumi had when she first met that six-eyed bird. Rumi used her shock to get on to her feet and grope her ankle, looking around for a way out. She wasn't sure she'd seen an alley in such bad shape in a long time. Where in the city were they? Maybe she had a bruise. Everything was blurry. But she remembered the rehearsals from the past few days. At a flash of purple, the three of them refocused their attention on her. Rumi had to escape. With her sore ankle, she wouldn't be able to beat them.

"What are you?" the other Rumi asked coldly, taking a step forward. Mira-demon stayed back.

"A Hunter who's going to finish you off, imposters," Rumi growled, feeling her own fangs grow and their patterns glow a poisonous violet.

The three pairs of eyes were piercing her as if she were Gwi-ma himself. Beneath the open collar of the smaller demon's shirt, the purple glowed for a second, highlighting the patterns that Rumi couldn't actually see. Zoey and the other Rumi launched their attack. Mira-demon didn't attack her, but surrounded her, restricting her movements, trapping her, and always getting in the way whenever she raised her sword against the other Rumi.

It was chilling, at a certain point, since they didn't speak, they simply moved with each other with a coordination even superior to what she had with her girlfriends. This trio of demons was truly in a completely different league than what Rumi was used to. Perhaps the new Honmoon had only allowed more powerful demons to pass. She had to run! Between growls and gasps, they were managing to corner her more and more, until Zoey-demon groaned.

"This is too much! Rumi wants you to die, and that's what's going to happen, vile scum”, and then, to Rumi's horror, the little demon drew two long mudang knives from the Honmoon, which glowed the same purple as her smoke, barely surrounded by the ancient, tranquil deep blue.

Rumi stopped the first attack, the second… she continued until she fell to her knees, stopping both of Zoey's knives with her sword, but Zoey-demon smiled just like her beloved did when she was about to terrify a demon. She let go of one of the knives to unbalance Rumi, and her claws were about to deliver the final blow of the encounter. Rumi saw them rising, dropped her sword to try to shield herself with her arms, the claws were already descending toward her…

Three bodies tumbled onto the ugly pavement with groans of pain and frustration. Rumi got up as quickly as she could, using overflowing trash cans and a wall covered in faded signs she couldn't stop to read for support. Another groan of pain reached her, and just as she looked up, she saw the other Rumi lightly kicking the demon Mira, who didn't defend herself but hurried to her feet, only to be slammed back to the ground by demon Zoey.

"What are you trying to do?" the other Rumi demanded, her voice icy with anger. Rumi knew this was her moment. She got back on her feet and left down the other side of the alley without looking back, though she knew she wouldn't forget the last look she shared with demon Mira.

She didn't understand.

Until a rift opened in the sky, and three unconscious, bloodied bodies fell from the stars. Honmoon quickly caught them, guiding these people toward the stage.

HOWEVER ALL YALL OTHER PEEPS OUT THERE WHO ARE INTERESTED 🫵, pls consider joining in as well! It doesn’t have to be everyday, us folks out here are just happy there are others who saw 5 seconds of a wet cat of a woman and went “that one. we want that one and her dead wife”.

i wrote an big ass essay in @plslemmedie’s comments and still had more thoughts so I’m just making my own post lol(go look at his post(and all his stuff) its very good) i will repeat my points from the comments tho so don’t worry about missing anything

To start, the character introductions mention that zoey gets scary in rap battles and that “you better watch out” while mira’s only mentions that she is the black sheep of her family. Zoey’s aggression is one of the first things we hear about her, so it’s clearly important, and it’s a description of her from others, while mira is only ever described(in the movie) as aggressive by herself. We see mira being direct with rumi about how she thinks rumi is acting strange and hiding something, but she only pushes the issue on the train, after rumi has already dodged her questions several times, and she doesn’t get insulting or physical, she just asks questions that rumi doesn’t want to answer. To rumi(and the audience because rumi is the main character) this feels aggressive because mira is hitting a sensitive point, but mira isn’t being unreasonable when she asks for answers. Zoey shows anger and aggression as well, she just pushes it down or directs it at herself. At the doctors office, she seems to get upset at his reading of her but she quickly laughs it off. When she gets mad at rumi for wanting to change the takedown lyrics, she tries to destroy her notebook, directing her anger at her own work rather than at rumi. But when they are backstage after golden, zoey is the one to confront rumi about the patterns, and to get mad at her association with jinu. “How can we be together when we cant tell your lies from your truths” feels much more angry than “i knew it was too good to be true” which just feels sad and resigned. Overall i read mira as someone who is not afraid to address and talk about her emotions, and others emotions as well, she starts the emotional exchange before the idol awards and shes the one whos trying to figure out whats wrong with rumi so they can fix it. She might be insecure about this trait because she sees it as aggressive, but it actually makes her a great communicator and by far the most emotionally intelligent of huntrix. However, zoey is someone who pushes her emotions down because they are “too much” giving her much more potential for an emotional blowup than mira.

I think the problem with putting zoey in the mediator role is that there is nothing for her to do. Mediators are there to make people be honest about their emotions rather than avoiding them or devolving to insults, but mira is already someone who is honest about her emotions and trying to make rumi do the same, and even when rumi is mean to her we don’t see anything to imply that mira would start being mean too. Notice how in the train scene zoey only stops the fight when they need to focus on killing demons, she isn’t trying to meditate the fight because it doesn’t need mediating, mira already fills that role. Zoey trying to stop them wouldn’t be helpful because this is a conversation they need to have, and there isn’t anything in miras method that she needs to change

i want more fics with aggressive, emotional zoey and mediator mira. I think this could actually make *both* characters more interesting because i think mira would see her mediation as more aggression, she is making rumi and zoey acknowledge things they dont want to talk about and in doing so upsetting them, and even if its for the better i bet she would feel bad about it. Maybe zoey and rumi can help her realize that her being “aggressive” is what made them finally acknowledge their emotions so they could begin to heal. I also find it interesting that mira doesn’t really acknowledge when Zoey’s upset in the movie, she doesn’t even look at zoey as she tries to rip up her notebook. The actual reason for this is probably just that rumi is the main character so everyone is focused on her, but it would be interesting if mira had to deal with guilt at not noticing zoeys built up anger. Maybe zoey is mad at mira for being so attuned to rumis emotions but not noticing zoeys impending breakdown, maybe she thinks mira just doesn’t care. why should she? Zoey is being unreasonable anyway

imagine after the idol awards mira is just glad that her family is back together, maybe she has a little bit of anger but she quickly acknowledges it and works through it either on her own or in a conversation with rumi. Rumi is still working through her shame but she knows now that mira and zoey dont hate her so she’s already in a much better place. And zoey is… fine. Sure she was angry at rumi for lying to them but mira worked through it and rumi isnt mad at them for reacting poorly so everything is fine. If everyone else is okay then zoey being angry still would be unreasonable and rumi and mira shouldn’t have to deal with her being so overly-emotional. Maybe she gets a twinge of anger when rumi continues to hide her true feelings out of habit but she quickly pushes it down (she’s a hypocrite but Rumi’s feelings are valid and a lot of them come from trauma so she deserves to have help working through them, zoey should be able to figure out her emotions herself). Eventually that anger explodes and she knows shes being unreasonable but she never learned how to stop the anger and now thats its out she cant push it down no matter how hard she tries

I like the idea of zoey not having any big major trauma and discounting her feelings because of it. Miras family is abusive, and rumi was raised to hate herself, they’re allowed to be angry, be sad, be messy. but zoey had a good childhood, yes it wasn’t all easy but most everyone has dealt with a bit of bullying, parents fighting, moving countries, its nothing *that* bad. it would be wrong of her to act like she understands anything mira and rumi have gone through, it would be selfish to make them help her with her feelings when they deal with way worse. Rumi and mira have to help her understand that just because her life has been “normal” doesn’t mean she came out unscathed, just because those traumas are common or relatively small doesn’t mean they aren't traumatizing, and you don’t have to experience any amount of bad things to “deserve” to feel

or i think an interesting interpretation if you really want to put zoey in the mediator role is just having her be a bad mediator. If you want to interpret her stopping the fight on the train as an attempt at mediation then maybe her idea of mediation is just stopping any conversation with negative emotions, even when it’s important. Mira tries to get rumi to open up but zoey stops her because it could cause tension. After the idol awards zoey stops any attempts at a serious discussion of what happened because they’re all together again and she cant take that risk. Zoey accidentally pushing her own emotional repression onto rumi and mira because she never learned the difference between an important emotional conversation and a relationship-breaking fight

or maybe you could explore the similarities between rumi and zoey, both feel so much shame for taking up any space in the lives of those they care about. Rumi constantly pushing herself to be the perfect leader, never resting or leaning on her friends. Zoey constantly sanding herself down to avoid being too much, she never lets herself feel anything that might put a strain on others. On the surface their relationship is fine, they have fun together and do love each other but have they ever had a deep conversation? How much do they really know about each other when all they’ve ever talked about is the easy, surface level stuff, each making themself as palatable as possible at the cost of a deeper connection

Instead of cursing her to an eternal sleep or death, Maleficent declares that the princess will grow up to betray the kingdom and serve her instead. So the king sends Aurora away, but one day the young adventurous girl strays a bit too far and right into her territory.

So, polytrix fic where Mira and Zoey die and, in a moment of rage and sadness, Rumi uses her demon magic to physically resurrect them.

Is there angst? No. In fact, fuck you it's all fluff.

Rumi has somehow managed to bring back her girls as demons. And now they are magically bound to her the same way Gwi-Ma’s demons are to him. Does she use this for evil? Of course she fucking doesn't. What kind of woman do you think she is?

Rumi can see through their eyes and hear through their ears as if she was with them. She uses this to make sure they're safe when they're separated from her. Rumi can speak to them in their minds. She uses this to talk to them when she's feeling lonely. Rumi can pull them to her when she wants to. She uses this to get them out of danger. Rumi can affect their memories, making them louder or quieter. She uses this to help soothe them when something happens that upsets them.

Rumi loves her girls, and she would do anything to protect them.

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.
