not into 8turn but i do like ur fic idea for them so thats my vote 👀 i love to read abt invented gender roles yay so i would def read it ✋️ the nowadays one also sounds fuuuun
ahh ty ty!! i've had the 8turn idea since their debut! and i don't know if i oversold the gender role thing but it would be set in a modern day world where the greaser subculture never went away. rock n roll is still king on the radio and ~biker gangs~ exist and they have territories and turf wars but it's so socially accepted that it's not looked down upon and teenagers/young adults definitely, like, spin their whole identity around boys buying/borrowing a bike or classic car and starting or joining a gang because gangs have their own social prestige (much like the high school clique trope) and girls getting matching bomber jackets and dolling themselves up and ~owning~ hangout spots with the ultimate goal of getting 'picked' by a dude in a high-ranking/popular gang. in this au, being picked isn't NECESSARILY the same as dating but it still effectively comes with the same rules... just amplified. (like, the gang and the jacket are publicly aligned and no other jackets are allowed to approach or flirt with that gang, etc.)
so the premise of the 8turn fic would be yoonsung wanting to gather a group of jackets and he personally chooses minho and haemin to be in his group but they meet a lot of social pushback at their school because a) guys ~aren't allowed~ to wear bomber jackets and b) what gang in their right minds would 'pick' guys???
lol i didn't mean to go on and on about this but it's on my mind and all i've been thinking about today, so......
