If you know me, you know that I like HAV and HiE. I like the possibilities. So, I tried thinking of the most ridiculous scenarios possible. I ask myself questions about the common tropes and plot holes of these types of stories, and write to answer them. At least, I try to! I mean, haven't you ever asked yourself some these questions?

-If you dress as a character, how thorough are the changes?
-How much non-cosplay stuff can you bring along?
-If I dress as an OC, Fandom OC, or alternate character version, what would happen?
-If the costume was bad, could I end up being a character with similar aesthetics instead?
-What if I dress as the Merchant?
-Who exactly can be targeted and how?

Basically, I'll try to think up things that haven't really been addressed much and tackle them in as novel a fashion as I can manage. I hope you enjoy my ridiculous ramblings! I'll try to update this in my spare time, so expect updates to happen in sporadic bursts.

PS- I'm a big believer in picture essays. I am not above slapping GIFs (yes, multiple!) in the A/N or even within a chapter. I might even post a video or two (although this is a bit more common) in the chapter, but I'll at least try to contain them to hyperlinks. Mostly. Maybe not so much with the GIFs. Just bear with me please. I want to have fun with this, and I need to put my gif blog to use somehow! I'll try not to do it too much, especially if people don't like it, but just be forewarned!

PPS- The Mature Rating isn't expressly for what you think it is. Some of the later chapters might include stuff that can be pretty intense or may broach topics that might be a bit sensitive. Sure, I'll have the odd smattering of profanity and excessive violence (and maybe even a bit of naughty/dark humor), but I'll try to keep any detailed descriptions of gore or sex down to a minimum to keep the impact of such inclusions as tasteful and effective as possible. I can definitely guarantee that I'll try to keep even those moments a bit tame. I mean, I don't think my "innocent" heart is quite ready for that yet, lol.

PPPS- I am also a big believer in communication, exposition, and Chekov's Gun. You'll often see that I'll leave exposition notes in () to provide background information and context like lore and world building and character motivations so that I don't have to weave them directly into the narrative. I know that this can make the chapters kinda clunky, so I'll edit chapters with excessively expansive notes to move the notes into either the A/N or a comment. If they get too large (and trust me, the exposition for my exposition can sometimes have its own exposition, so these notes can get pretty expansive really fast), I'll try to use a hyperlink instead. In chapters that are really exposition heavy or have exposition notes that would hurt the narrative more to cut out, I'll just double post the chapter with the second chapter being the exposition free version. That way, you can pick your poison, as it were.

I'll also try to minimize the need for such things by using dedicated exposition chapters. Now, since the exposition for my exposition can sometimes have its own exposition, I'll probably be double posting the exposition chapters more often than the main narrative chapters. Moreover, please note that while such chapters are not mandatory to read, they will be extremely useful tools. They can help me remember plot threads and details that I would otherwise forget, and they will provide background information that is relevant to the plot. Remember, I absolutely love Chekov's Gun. This means that if you ever get confused as to where something came from, you have a point of reference to track all this information with. Although I'll keep using these methods regardless of reception, I also believe in communication, so feel free to theorize or ask me questions! I'm not afraid of adjusting my story or updating exposition chapters, or even just discussing ideas with readers.
