    inside MODE - Ugly Betty

    Y/N starts working as a receptionist at MODE magazine, expecting nothing more than answering phones, organising schedules, and surviving the chaos of the fashion world. But between Betty Suarez trying to keep Daniel Meade organised, Wilhelmina Slater plotting her next takeover, Marc and Amanda causing daily disasters, and the pressure of working in one of New York’s biggest fashion magazines, Y/N quickly discovers that MODE is more than just clothes and celebrity covers. Behind every photoshoot, office rivalry, and dramatic hallway encounter are people trying to find their place — including Y/N.

    BETWEEN LESSONS 🏉📚

    Y/N is halfway through Year 10, trying to survive GCSEs, when their school puts them into a rugby games rotation. They never chose rugby, barely know the rules and would honestly rather be anywhere else. Unfortunately, one of the boys in their form class is Milo McCarthy. Milo is a proper rugby boy. He’s athletic, competitive and confident, and his entire friend group consists of the school’s sporty crowd. He’s loud and funny around them, constantly messing around and completely comfortable on the rugby pitch. Y/N and Milo already know each other — they’re in the same form and have been for a while — but they’ve never been friends. They recognise each other, occasionally exchange a few words and know enough about each other to not be strangers, but that’s about it. Rugby doesn’t immediately change that. Milo doesn’t suddenly become Y/N’s personal coach, and he doesn’t abandon his friends to help them. He’s not mean; Y/N simply isn’t someone he normally talks to. Instead, their relationship develops somewhere neither of them expects: between lessons. A conversation during form becomes another the next morning. Complaining about GCSEs turns into joking about teachers. A random conversation in the corridor becomes sitting together at lunch. Slowly, without either of them noticing, Y/N goes from being someone Milo barely spoke to becoming someone he actively looks for. And somewhere between rugby practices, mock exams, lunch breaks and ordinary school days, their friendship starts becoming something neither of them quite knows how to name.

    “nepo baby!!!”

    Growing up as the child of Hollywood legends means Y/N has spent their entire life under the spotlight.

Surrounded by loyal friends who see the person instead of the headlines, Y/N begins carving out a career built on talent rather than legacy. Through auditions, premieres, friendships, setbacks, and unforgettable moments, they slowly discover that the greatest role they’ll ever play is simply being themselves.

    your stupid dm.

    Y/N never expected a stupid little dare from his best friend to change his entire life. It was supposed to be a joke — a random DM sent to a famous actress, expecting nothing more than embarrassment and a laugh. But when Ariana Greenblatt actually replies, a harmless challenge turns into an unexpected connection neither of them saw coming. As their conversations grow from casual messages into a genuine friendship, Y/N finds himself entering a world he never imagined: movie sets, premieres, interviews, and the reality behind fame. Ariana discovers someone who sees her as more than a celebrity, while Y/N discovers a passion and lifestyle he never knew he wanted. What started as one silly message becomes a journey of friendship, growth, and discovering that sometimes the smallest decisions create the biggest changes. Because sometimes the thing you think is the most ridiculous idea… becomes the moment that changes everything.

    inside the mouse’s house.

    You’ve been cast in the newest Descendants project — a reboot-style continuation of the franchise that shaped a generation. To the world, it looks like a dream role: Disney, a global fandom, instant recognition. To you, it’s something more complicated. You’re not just acting in a movie. You’re growing up inside one. Between filming, rehearsals, press interviews, choreography sessions, and social media attention, your life becomes a constant balance between performance and reality. Fans don’t just follow the characters — they follow you. Edits blur the line between role and identity. Interviews get clipped and analysed. Every friendship becomes “content.” And somewhere in the chaos, you’re trying to figure out who you actually are when the cameras stop rolling.

    always in your mind, never on your tongue.

    A week before the first show of the Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide Tour, Y/N is thrown into months of rehearsals, interviews and performances alongside the original casts of both franchises. As Prince/Princess of Auradon and Nova’s fellow daywalker, Y/N is already used to the spotlight. Then there’s Malachi Barton. They’ve always been friends, but suddenly they’re spending nearly every waking hour together. Backstage jokes become late-night conversations. Casual teasing starts feeling different. Malachi keeps finding reasons to sit beside Y/N, while Y/N keeps pretending not to notice. Everyone seems convinced they like each other. Neither will say it. With the tour about to begin and cameras following them everywhere, keeping their feelings hidden becomes harder by the day.

    always been you 🤍

    Y/N has always believed his best friend deserved the world. So when she’s blindsided by her boyfriend’s betrayal, he’s the one who picks up the pieces—late-night phone calls, ice cream runs, and reminding her she deserves better. As months pass and she begins to heal, the friendship they’ve shared since childhood starts to change. The little moments they’ve always taken for granted suddenly mean something more, leaving them both wondering if the person they’ve been searching for has been beside them all along.
