(Lemme just...)

I'm going to keep adding your beautiful ideas to this incredible post

Mira decides that the werewolf movie is officially banned from all their future movie nights.

Zoey and Mira see so much of themselves in the two werewolf hunters in the movie (like, so much. It's almost scary actually.) and they've been internalizing it the whole time so that they don't smash the TV. They're in this picture, they don't like it!

Rumi has no idea that she's just making it worse.

Zoey: After everything he's been through the whole movie, I would still 100% be on his side if he had just lunged at his friends and attacked them right then and there! Rumi: What!? No, they didn't do anything wrong! Yeoz and Arim would just be doing their jobs if they killed Imur! They were trained to kill werewolves, Imur is a werewolf! That just makes sense! Why would you want to punish them for doing what they think is right!? Mira, rapidly losing her patience with both this movie and Rumi: Why do you want to punish him for being justifiably scared that his friends would kill him when they discovered the truth of his identity!? Especially AFTER that scene where they showed him all the wolf pelts and told him how excited they were to make one of the wolf they were hunting!? Rumi: We-well, because...he...wait. I feel like you two are making this movie about something else. Mira: YOU THINK WE'RE MAKING THIS MOVIE ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!?

(Why are you people such geniuses!?)

What Zoey was hoping would happen when she put on Pop Punk Werewolf Hunters for her girls - Rumi would find solidarity with the main character because of their (incredibly suspicious) number of similarities and would find it easier to open up to them about everything she's been bottling up for years.

What actually happened when she put that movie on - "RUMI, DID YOU ASK CELINE TO KILL YOU!??!"

[Less than five minutes after the movie is turned off.]

Zoey needed to confront Celine about the (indirect) reveal from the girls' little movie night the next morning. She's still sort of reeling from everything that happened already.

Unfortunately, the cursed movie is still haunting the narrative.

Celine would disagree. After all, for all the head hunter’s talk of loving and accepting the werewolf, they also told the werewolf they had to hide what they were! They planted the idea that something was wrong with the werewolf and it had to be fixed before anyone else could ever accept them! Maybe if the hunter had let Imur tell Yeoz and Arim that they were a werewolf, maybe they would’ve been okay with it! Maybe they would’ve surprised the hunter! Maybe the werewolf would’ve been better off if their real parents had been there for them instead of the hunter-

(Nothing about this movie reflects any of her emotions. It’s just a movie. She did not think about the scene where the werewolf glared down the head hunter after their final confrontation and severed ties with them right then and there all night long. No, of course not. Why would you even suggest such a thing?)

Zoey severely regrets introducing her loved ones to this movie. Might actually be the third biggest mistake she's ever made in her life.

(The first was writing "Takedown". Don't ask about the second one.)

This was supposed to bring them all together! And all it really did (as far as she can tell) is draw a rift between them...

I can't either... -_-

"Hey, Zo." Mira closes the door behind her, balancing the tray of drinks on one hand while closing the door behind her. "Got you so—"

"Shut up."

She stops dead in her tracks, one foot in front of the other. In the time she's known Zoey, she's never heard her tell anyone — other than Rumi, once — to shut up. Not in those words or any other combination. Mira's pretty sure she's never even asked any of them to 'keep it down', let alone 'be quiet'. So she must have misheard… right?

did you guys see huntrix's new photoshoot? (1/3)

I did originally headcanon that the ages would be something like Celine 9, Rumi 6, Mira 5 and Zoey 4 but I also really like the idea of them all being around the same age. It gives them more of a level playing field as it were and makes Bobby’s life 10x harder.

I do agree that Rumi and Mira know Korean (or at least as much Korean as 4-5 year olds can know) so they can talk to Bobby and understand everything on TV and all the writing around the city fairly easily. It’s not a huge shock to them. Originally I did have Zoey and Celine as knowing a touch of Korean, both of them having learned from their moms, but I agree that that would probably need to be amped up for simplicity sake. I do believe though that Celine feels more confident in French than she does in Korean or English just like Zoey feels more confident in English. Mainly because I do think Celine is from France and we know Zoey is from America so they’re more exposed to French and English than Korean.

Celine stayed over that night because there was a bad storm. Plus the tower has like 20+ bedrooms and they all have soft sheets and blankets and there are no screaming people outside (something she would get at a hotel) so she just stays. I always like to think that Celine would keep clothes at the tower just in case something happens so she just changes into those to go to bed. When she wakes up, she’s tiny, 5, everything looks different from France (based on the window she’s really high up and she doesn’t like it) and everything is written in a language she doesn’t understand and there’s this random guy there trying to calm her down and get her water. (He’s speaking the same language that her Appa taught her though so that’s something).

Bobby is having a level 8 panic attack (it’s only not a 10 because the girls and Celine are okay…medically speaking). Like you said, all of them are in pajamas way too big for them and Rumi is clutching the teddy bear from her bed and Mira is tripping over her nightgown and Zoey is bouncing off the walls and Celine has all but shut down. It takes him until noon when Zoey starts asking about food to remember “oh yeah. Food’s a thing.” And orders the most child friendly food for them to eat.

Zoey is the youngest one here. After she gets confirmation on her family, she’s all set to run around the place to her hearts content. It’s so big and there’s so much stuff to do (there’s even a secret room filled with weapons!!! Bobby blocks off that room very fast) and she gets to play with other kids her own age which is awesome. It’s like a summer camp kind of thing. Maybe that’s why she’s here: her mom signed her up for a camp in Korea and Zoey just forgot. Bottom line, I agree that Zoey’s not thinking about this too hard. She’s more just having fun.

In my mind, Mira (also 4) would want nothing to do with the other kids and would remain still and quiet not cause she doesn’t like them but because she doesn’t want to get in trouble. Her parents are always calling her the “problem child” and she doesn’t want to get scolded again (even though everyone looks like they’re having fun). It isn’t until Bobby asks why she isn’t playing that Mira whispers, “don’t wanna get in trouble” or something like that. Bobby would know Mira’s family life. He knows what her parents are like (heck he’s even had to kick them out of one of Huntrix’s first concerts because they tried to show up and take Mira) so he understands where she’s coming from and tells her she’s not going to get in trouble for playing. It’s slow, but she does eventually join in when she’s confident she won’t get in trouble. Later in the day, Bobby even takes them to a playground (cause it’s good for de aged Idols to get time outside) and Mira is the first to run to the play structure.

Rumi is 5 but she looks big enough to be 6 or 7 (a huge contrast to her mentor who looks like she’s 3 but is the same age). In my mind, this is happening post canon so Bobby knows about Rumi being half demon but Rumi is still operating under the logic that no one knows and she needs to keep her patterns covered (although it’s just like 2 purple lines on one arm). After she lets go of the teddy bear, Rumi would be the first to warm up to Zoey and Celine (partly because Zoey is so kind and happy and Celine has the same name as her Celine. What are the chances???). I think she shares the same problem with Mira that you pointed out where she hasn’t really socialized with kids her own age so Rumi is a little awkward at playing. However, I think she very quickly learns what to do and she’s one of the people who tries to drag Mira into playing (even if unsuccessful the first few times).

At minimum, Celine was born in the late 70s and so she grew up at the end of the 70s and into the 80s so all of this 2026 stuff is throwing her for a loop. I do think that Bobby at least remembers some stuff about the 80s, at minimum he was born in the late 80s or early 90s, so he can understand when Celine doesn’t know what something is. I really like your headcanon of Celine being a tiny kid. Even Zoey has a few inches on her. Bobby would probably know Celine can’t have dairy or gluten just because adult Celine can’t have that stuff. He makes her her own food and has to tell the girls they can’t have it because it’s for Celine to make sure she doesn’t get sick. Celine doesn’t quite understand why Bobby is giving her different food but, for once, she’s eating something that isn’t making her stomach hurt and she loves it. To your point, I don’t think Bobby would know Celine is autistic though because he probably would have met her after she learned masking techniques and I can’t see Celine actively bringing it up. Therefore, little Celine having problems with the texture of her clothing or the noise or stimming would be confusing to the others. Bobby does everything he can to keep her comfortable (letting her feel the fabrics on other clothing to see which one is best, cutting the tag before she puts it on, getting her little headphones, finding a few gluten and dairy free snacks, etc) but he wants to talk with Celine once she’s an adult again.

This is where I’m gonna disagree, I think Bobby knows about demons and the honmoon and that the girls are hunters but he has NO idea that wishing the girls and Celine had good childhood memories or whatever he said could result in them actually becoming kids (they said nothing about the honmoon being able to grant wishes). Rumi would know more than the others but she’d probably think it was a demon attack. Not a wish. Regardless, he does have his hands full. They have to go shopping, get food, he has to make a plan for however long this may last, has to deal with fights and crying and Celine being a literal koala bear (seriously how is this the same person who apparently protected Korea by herself for years??) and Zoey’s natural setting just being sugar rush. 

Rumi, checking her emails: Bills, fanmail, bills, stupid ad deals, something that probably should have gone to Bobby, fanmail... oh huh. Someone is asking if they can make a parody of one or more of our songs.

Mira: People already do that, don't they? We encourage it.

Rumi: Yeah, but this guy's asking anyway.

Mira: Huh. That's considerate of them. Who is it?

Rumi: Some parody artist named Alfred Yankovic.

Mira: Oh, I think I've heard of him, isn't he kind of a big deal in the states-

Zoey, kicking open the door: YES YES YES TELL HIM YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES A MILLION TIMES YES LET HIM DO WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH OUR MUSIC

Mira: Definitely a big deal.

Zoey: ASK HIM IF HE'S DOING A POLKA MEDLEY PLEASE I NEED TO HEAR GOLDEN ON THE ACCORDION THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE OH MY GOSH DO YOU THINK HE'LL LET ME CAMEO IN THE MUSIC VIDEO-

Rumi: So... we tell him yes?

Mira: We tell him yes.

Interviewer: Well, we definitely saw her there.

Al: And of course, when one of the male dancers showed up and was six foot five, we had to pair them. I'll never say no to an easy visual gag.

Interviewer: So is that when you had the idea for the throw?

Al: Absolutely not. We just told the dancers to do some basic spins and end it with a dip during the climax, but apparently she got inspired. We did not tell Zoey to lead him during the dance, and I certainly didn't plan for her to throw him in the air and catch him in a dip. Fans say they can see the wires, I guarantee you we did not provide wires during that day of shooting.

Interviewer: But surely she didn't actually throw him?

What do you think might happen if MHA (or UA) was based in another country?

Imagine, if you will, the girls (ft. Bobby and Celine) are on a game show where they have to show what they carry with them in their purses all the time.

Zoey goes first, and so, so many things fall out. She somehow had a skateboard shoved in there (physically impossible, but it worked), a gameboy color, a N-64 (the whole console plus two controllers), her will, Mira's will, Rumi's favorite book on submarine warfare, Celine's birth certificate, 14 different credit cards (none of them are hers), 3 pairs of socks that don't match, and a half eaten sandwich. The judges are horrified, the girls are horrified, and Celine steals the birth certificate back before anyone sees what year she was born. While Zoey is getting scolded for breaking the laws of physics and just laws in general, Mira goes next.

Mira's purse is normal at first. Backup makeup, some bandages, a picture of her with Rumi and Zoey. Then, the judges open a side pocket before Mira can stop them. Out falls hundreds of love notes, pictures of her girls, and, for some odd reason, 6 pocket knives. When questioned about the knives (she refused to answer any questions about the notes or pictures), Mira explains the she has two hands, Zoey has two hands, and Rumi has two hands. They each get a left knife and a right knife. Celine and the girls think it's sweet, and Bobby looks incredibly proud of how prepared his girls are.

Rumi is next, and everyone assumes she'll have the least amount of stuff. The hosts proceed to pull out a change of clothes for each of the girls, an entire box of unopened chocolates, 6 different shoes (not pairs, singular shoes), a severed hand prop, and Zoey and Mira's ID's. When questioned, Rumi explains that the girls had gone clubbing the night before and the girls had a bit of a rough time. When asked about the severed hand, she explains that she uses it to scare away creeps in the club. Celine praises her on how accurate the hand is, and the whole studio is horrified as the mother-daughter duo goes on about the best way to make the hand look even more lifelike.

Bobby goes next, pulling out 14 different emergency kits from his bag. His section is short, as he explains that he only brings his work bags with him to studio events, but his personal one is a lot like Zoey's.

Celine is last, and the judges are horrified to find weapons of every shape and size. The judges panic, asking how Celine got those past security, while Mira picks up a full on handgun in shock. Rumi explains that Celine's bag has looked like this for years, with a few minor changes as Rumi left the house. The handgun, she concedes, came after she moved out since Celine didn't trust baby Rumi around firearms. Everyone freaks out when Mira figures out that it's loaded, and the program is cut short after that.

What if the other two weren’t super obvious post Idol Awards? And for a while there was a real fear that when the Honmoon broke, and was repaired, the souls that had been woven into it had been released into the ether.

And of course Celine never blamed Rumi or held resentment. She understood why what happened needed to happen. And she almost saw it as something healing, in a way. The countless generations that came before, finally allowed to rest. A part of her did wonder, though. She knew she’d likely be the next Hunter to die, so she questioned if all souls would be unbound to the Honmoon in death, or if she would be the first of countless Hunters to come after to become one with this new Honmoon.

And she would be alone. Without her girls. For eternity.

Celine never expressed this concern to Rumi, but Rumi had similar thoughts and the guilt only weighed heavier and heavier. It built up further after Celine’s first heart attack. And festered up until her second one, the one she didn’t wake up from.

But two lines from the Honmoon became pronounced along the walls of the hospital room, vibrating like sound waves, calling out until the heart monitor went steady, and a third appeared along with them. And Rumi was sad, of course she was, but at the same time she felt a kind of joy and relief that took years worth of worry from her shoulders.

But also, just imagine how heartbroken and almost terrified Celine must have been when the honmoon fully broke. Miyeong and Eun Ji were always the easiest dotes/strings to find because they were the only ones in a group of two. It's not like they can talk but, for Celine, seeing that double string appear when she's feeling her worst lets her know that they're still with her, they see her, they still want to be around her. When the honmoon breaks, Celine watches them vanish and while, like you said a part of her is happy that they can finally be at peace, it's also similar to seeing them die again as she watches those lines vanish.

“Of course they would,” Mira pointed out when she spotted Rumi admiring the strands for the twentieth time that day, “Celine always wanted that gold Honmoon.”

Rumi watched the bright threads dance together over the ceiling, sparkling like waves on a beach at…golden hour.

The realization dawned on her, and tears sprung readily to her eyes. Mira and Zoey both sat up, ready to offer condolences or comfort, but then Rumi laughed weepily. “They’re not gold,” she explained.

Mira and Zoey shared a confused glance.

"Well, yes. She's half demon and has to hide it from those closest to her. That would make anyone-"

No, no, no. Even without the demon thing she'd still be the weird one. Just a completely cringefail babygirl.

"But Zoey is such a chaos gremlin! And Mira has that whole total badass while still being the most feminine member thing going! Surely Rumi being kind of oblivious doesn't make her-"

She's the weird one. What a freak. We love her.
