#rumefuu

This is silly don't think too much of it

Back from the dead with a new Rumefuu! This was made for an AU co-created by VermillionShackle on AO3 and myself. The scene in the picture is actually a scene from his fanfic for this AU:

This is a Milgram Idol AU where all the prisoners are actually idols and the concept of their group, Milgram, is their canon story of being trapped in a weird prison after committing "murders." There is one incredibly important twist, though: The Milgram idol group is fully run by Denny's, which in this AU is a high end restaurant chain. Fuuta is Prisoner No. 003 of the Milgram group and Rumerie is a hot-shot model, with a Gentle Monster brand deal. This is the Milgram Denny's AU, crack treated (as you can hopefully tell by the image) very seriously.

One of the two ads in the back is actually a full piece and it is under the cut (Warning: Eyestrain, tasteful clothes-less-ness).

Oh! Ok! Prepare for a long reply lmao.

This is gonna sound kinda weird but I'm gonna put a kinda disclaimer here: I think the best part of Rumerie is how little we know about him and how many ways people can take his character. He's really what each person makes of him. I like discussing my interpretation but I don't want it to heavily influence others' interpretations because that's how fanon happens. I'm not big on when fanon kinda gets set in stone, you know?

Anyway! For me at least, Fuuta's got a tsundere thing going on but he's also very bad at being subtle (gets caught staring or says things out loud that he meant to say in "voiceover"). Rumerie's more of a naturally charming guy and a bit of a flirt. So when he notices how Fuuta feels about him, I think he'd play along for a bit and flirt and tease Fuuta until "haha wait what are these feelings im suddenly having?"

(Many more thoughts about the specifics down below.)

I do think Rumerie is someone who has a bit of a scary side to him, though. He's the kind of guy who doesn't get irritated easily, but when he holds things in long enough, he'll just explode. Because of that, he's difficult to read (especially if he's wearing his shades!). This is the opposite of Fuuta who's very vocal about what annoys him and is irritated half the time lmao.

Just a buncha gamers discussing the latest patch
