Locked myself out of my apartment today!! Amazing!!! I want to eat gravel!! Question: what can I do as a thank you to my neighbor for letting me use his phone and being nice to me while we waited for thirty minutes for someone to let me back in? That feels like a very particular kind of thank you

i was thinking about this today so how long has YOUR JOB existed- not how long your industry has existed, but how long someone has been doing the work you do as a trade notwithstanding changes in terminology and technology. no unemployed option cuz i cant add more answers sorry... tell me about it in the tags

🩰 tangled ribbons books available to buy!!

so you all may remember that about 2 and a half years ago (oh my god) i did a limited print run of tangled ribbons! when i did that run, i ordered some extras both in case something happened and so i would have something else on my table as i was doing my first con and i was a little low on items

however, i still have these in stock and i'm trying to clean out some of my stuff, so they're now available on my kofi with some of my miraculous merch!!

you can either buy the book alone for 10 usd, or for 14 usd you can also get a print and two die cut stickers!

not only that, but i do have mystery bags of exclusively miraculous merch for 25 usd if you'd like to check those out! they'll later be listed on my etsy, but for now they're ko-fi exclusive! get it here!

since you're reading this post i'll let you in on a little secret, the mystery bags contain this print and both die cut stickers if you don't want to double buy!

So, I really wanted to write the Adrinette hug scene from the London special. Or, more specifically, I wanted to write what would happen if it went on a little longer and the scene hadn't cut right away. And really, this is the beginning of a oneshot that will have a second scene—because I also want to explore them talking about what happened. Talking about the version Adrien knows, at least—but I'm sharing this scene now because I really like it and I'm incapable of keeping words to myself.

***

Even after everything, crashing into Adrien’s arms felt exactly the same. It was the same gleam in his eyes as he ran towards her, the same hitch of his breath as he cradled her head oh so carefully. He even smelled the same—which was silly of Marinette to notice. 

It had only been two days; of course he smelled the same.

But it had also been a whole other lifetime.

A stutter of air warmed Marinette’s cheek but sent shivers down her spine. Adrien’s fingers curled gently into the fabric of her blazer, pulling her in closer just as she wondered if it was time to pull away. And as fast as the relief of seeing him had come, the guilt roared back in. Her heart pounded in her ears, each beat louder than the last.

Would he be holding her like this, if he knew what she’d done? Considering how he’d reacted to Bug Noire’s news, Marinette didn’t think so.

Yet there was no going back now. She’d chosen this path, dark and thorny though it may be. Because at its end there was the light she needed like oxygen. There was the happiness she valued more than her own.

It would all be worth it, so long as Adrien was okay. And she’d make certain he was okay.

That all started with this moment, though. With the air her soul gasped for, yet couldn’t quite find. As Adrien’s breathing grew heavier, he crushed her tighter into his embrace. His collar bone pressed painfully into her cheek, and still she daren’t let go.

She let her hands roam upwards, fingers tethering themselves in his hair. And again, she was pulled closer—with no space left to go until she rose up on her toes. And then it was her throat she found pushing into his shoulder, forcing the lump that was lodged there to rise to the tip of her tongue.

It tingled, like any good poison, demanding to be expelled.

“Adrien. I’m… I’m so…” Sorry.

She couldn’t say the final word aloud; it would have come out as a sob. And she couldn’t cry right now, not when she was meant to be comforting him. So she pressed her lips into a tight, thin line, swallowing back the urge. 

Swallowing back the guilt.

It put up a good fight, expanding and writhing and practically choking her all the way down. But no matter how fiercely it burned, she couldn’t let it out. She hid her face in Adrien’s neck, not sure which of them had started trembling. Maybe it was both of them. Maybe they were one and the same now, their fates inexorably stitched together after bursting apart at the seams.

Maybe it didn’t matter who it was. Maybe they were both doomed.

Rising higher on her tiptoes, stretching up to her last nerve, Marinette twisted to press a kiss to Adrien’s cheek. It tasted of salt.

Unable to hold herself up any longer, she fell back down to the balls of her feet. She pressed her face into Adrien’s chest until his breaths finally evened out. Until he remembered how to stand on his own two feet.

He stared down at her as he pulled away, smiling weakly even though his lips still wobbled. And she did her best to smile back. She kissed his fingers and helped wipe his tears.

It’ll be okay, she told herself. Everything will be okay.

She was a liar now, after all.

there are a lot of ppl in the fandom i Wanna be friends with but i have a crippling curse called Social Anxiety

[jattendschaton]

do you ever think about. every single moment where marinette must feel guilty about keeping the truth from adrien. every time he says something about his father and she has to paste on a smile and convince herself she's doing the right thing. every time he comes close to losing his amoks because he doesn't realize how important they are. how it must have dawned on her at some point that gabriel CONTROLLED his son. and why is she protecting the monster that did that

how her love for adrien is somehow keeping her silent and alone. how she didn't even tell alya the truth

all the times she must come so CLOSE to telling him, but then talks herself out of it?

do you ever think about all those feelings making her want to explode?

[jattendschaton]

Do you think Adrien sees himself in this new image he has of his father—in the way Chat Noir always sacrifices himself for Ladybug and the greater good, and now he believes his father has done the same? Giving his life so that Ladybug can live, so that Monarch would be destroyed?

[jattendschaton]

i am so so glad that this is how we get to say goodbye to the old animation: a heartfelt ladynoir rooftop scene where time stands still and it’s just the two of them, by each other’s side like always. even if everything else seems bleak, even if they don’t yet know how to overcome this new challenge, it’s still them against the world. and that’s what matters
