Any head cannons for being Idia's best virtual friend and then being sent to TWST? Digital media is multiversal I suppose.
IDIA SHROUD X GN!READER
|written platonically in mind|
• The reveal. When Yuu arrives in Twisted Wonderland, they're understandably freaking out. Then they hear someone in the distance yelling.
"...WAIT."
"...No freaking way."
"...PlayerTwo??"
You freeze.
"...Gloomurai?"
Silence.
"...IDIA?!"
Everyone else just watches as the gloomy shut-in who refuses to speak to strangers sprints across the hallway.
"...BRO."
"...BRO?!"
"...BRO!!"
And suddenly, the most antisocial person in NRC is hugging someone. Nobody knows what is happening.
• Nobody believes you're just online friends.
Ace: "You've never met."
"Correct."
"You've never seen each other's faces."
"Correct."
"But you're best friends?"
"Yeah."
"..."
"..."
"That sounds fake."
— Meanwhile, Idia knows your sleep schedule, your favorite games, every voice crack you've ever had, your food preferences, which bosses make you rage quit, and every embarrassing phase you've ever gone through. He's basically known you longer than anyone outside of his family.
• Your DMs are horrifying. Ortho somehow recovers years of chat logs. The first conversation. Hundreds of thousands of messages. Entire arguments over game balancing. Three-day-long conversations that never technically ended.
— A random message from four years ago reads:
> "brb bathroom"
Immediately followed by:
> "sorry that took 8 hours"
The conversation simply continued like nothing had happened.
• Voice calls. You'd spend six-hour Discord calls doing absolutely nothing. No conversation. Just existing together.
— Every so often...
"You alive?"
"Yeah."
"Cool."
Then it was back to silence. That was quality friendship.
• Gaming legends. The two of you became infamous online. People recognized your usernames together.
"Oh no."
"It's those two."
"We're cooked."
— You developed combo strategies without speaking. Idia knew exactly where you'd move, and you knew exactly what ridiculous strategy he'd attempt. It was basically telepathy.
• Meeting in person is... weird. You've heard each other's voices thousands of times, yet actually standing face-to-face feels surreal.
"...You're taller than I imagined."
"...You're shorter."
"..."
"..."
"This is cringe."
"Extremely."
— Neither of you knows whether to high-five or hug until Ortho physically shoves Idia toward you.
• He's so much louder with you. Everyone assumes Idia is always quiet.
— The second you're together...
"NO, THAT'S A TERRIBLE BUILD!"
"IT WORKED!"
"BY ACCIDENT!"
"STILL COUNTS!"
Ignihyde regularly hears the two of you yelling at each other over game mechanics at three in the morning.
• Ortho absolutely adores you. He's heard about you for literal years.
"Oh! You're finally here!"
"You're exactly as Brother described!"
Idia immediately panics.
"ORTHO."
"DON'T."
Ortho innocently continues.
"Brother has mentioned you approximately 18,734 times!"
— Idia mentally blue screens.
• You know things nobody else does. You know what genuinely makes him laugh. Which topics he'll actually ramble about. How to tell when he's socially exhausted before he says anything.
— You even know his typing habits. His "..." means something completely different from "...?" and you can tell when he's lying because his punctuation changes. Nobody else notices.
• His social battery doubles around you. He still hates crowds. Still avoids people. Still wants to disappear.
— But with you? It's effortless. You're one of the only people who doesn't drain him. He can spend an entire day with you and somehow end up with more energy than when the day started.
> Gloomurai: "grim is eating fish shaped crayons again"
You look up.
Grim is, in fact, eating fish shaped crayons.
You type back.
> You: "dude stop him"
A second later...
> Gloomurai: "no u do it"
Neither of you says a single word aloud.
• The others slowly realize why you're so close. It isn't some instant soulmate connection.
— It's history. You celebrated birthdays together online. Stayed awake through each other's worst nights. Finished games together. Watched movies while syncing countdowns. Helped each other through bad days. Sent memes at two in the morning. Spent years slowly becoming each other's favorite person without ever expecting to meet.
When the impossible finally happened, it didn't feel like meeting a stranger. It felt like finally putting a face to a friendship that already existed.
• The heartbreaking realization. One evening, after the excitement has settled, Idia quietly asks:
"...So... does this mean... you're actually from another universe?"
You nod.
"Looks like it."
He stares at the floor.
"...That's actually insane."
"...Yeah."
"...Out of every possible reality..."
He lets out a tiny laugh.
"...I somehow made friends with someone who didn't even live in my universe."
You smile.
"And somehow we still ended up on the same team."
His lips twitch into the smallest smile.
"...Guess digital media really is multiversal."
A/N : im so sorry for the late reppplllyyy, i was actually contemplating this ask because I'm abit scared on how to write Idia because i always overthink if im mischaracterizing him and i cant seem to get his dialogue and speech habits right!! Anyways, thank you for the ask and i hope you enjoy it all!!!

Send 👏 me 👏 hc 👏 reqs 👏👏👏👏👏👏 or maybe 👏 even 👏 short 👏 prompt 👏 reqs 👏 or 👏 just 👏 tell 👏 me 👏 about 👏 your 👏 day 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rfa +minor trio of MC who is v good at comforting but doesn't have many emotions on the outside but breaks down one day to the rfa/mt character. Like how would they react
YOOSUNG
Boi
Why would you do this to him
He’s flippin out
He’s such a small, sweet summer child he’s never dealt with anything serious aside from Rika’s “death”
He don’t got a clue what to do
You’ve never shown emotion before!!
He doesn’t expect this!!
Like man if you were upset before it doesn’t matter now
Because Yoosung’s just straight sweatin’ in anxiousness and it’s kinda sorta really funny
He does listen to you though
If nothing else, he at least listens
ZEN
Y’know his lil’ emoji he has in the chat that he basically uses whenever MC compliments Jumin?
That’s his exact facial expression right now
His ponytail doesn’t quite jump up but it almost looks like he does the Studio Ghibli thing where the hair kinda frizzles upward?
He’s so surprised and fails to hide it
But he tries to comfort you the best he can
He listens intently and offers whatever advice he can
Then he promptly goes and gets you everything of comfort he can
Wants you to tell him whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed from now on
Mostly because he doesn’t want to be caught off guard like that again
JAEHEE
She sympathizes with you a lot
Jaehee knows how it is to conceal your feelings for so long that you just burst one day
She’s done it before
Probably understands you the most
Is adept at listening to you about these things
Doesn’t pretend she can offer advice
Tries to make you coffee and things that could provide comfort
Reminds she is always available for a talk, if you ever need it
JUMIN
Lord he has no idea how to handle this situation
Like, he does but he doesn’t
He knows the normal procedure for helping someone in a time of distress
But as you’ve seen with how he handles V’s grief, he’s not entirely great at that
He does his best though
Jumin gets you everything you could want in your time of need
Listens to you intently and offers anything he can to help you
Tells you he wants to be there if you ever need him
Hopes to God you come to him when you need it
707
Wraps in a big bear hug
Doesn’t let go
Lets you cry it out
Listens to what you say while you sob
Shares his Honey Buddha Chips and PhD Pepper with you in hopes of making you feel better
Isn’t very good at making you feel better
But he tries
He doesn’t want another person he loves to feel alone
V
Gosh, he feels so bad
He wishes he could’ve noticed how you were feeling before you broke down like this
Beats himself up about this
Still, he helps you regardless
He listens attentively and offers any advice he can
Prepares himself for when this will happen in the future
Gets better at figuring out when you aren’t feeling well
SAERAN
He’s a wreck
He doesn’t know what to do
How does one console in a socially acceptable manner??
He’s a little frustrated though
Why didn’t you come to him sooner?
He practically beats it into your skull that, from now on, you have to come to him with this stuff from now on
Everyday he asks you if you’re okay
He asks about your day
Saeran almost becomes too attentive
VANDERWOOD
He is absolutely flabbergasted that you would let something affect you so much
As an agent, it isn’t how he’s trained, to feel things so deeply
He’s never needed anyone to comfort him before and thus has no idea how to comfort you now
He tries his best but he’s not...good at it
Arguably the worst at this out of everyone
Goes to others for advice on how to deal with a situation like this
