WIP Wednesday: 10.30.2024
So remember when I did that fic about kwami soulmates for Lukanette September? And left it at the worst possible place? Then burnt out on life for 90% of October?
...I promise I'm still picking at it 👀
“…Tikki?” she asked, opening her bag. Tikki liked to hide in there while Marinette was busy — maybe she had grabbed a cookie once they’d gotten home and taken a nap? But when she opened her bag, she screamed and tried to throw it — which…didn’t work so well, when it was still looped around her shoulder. She ended up jerking herself awkwardly before it fell back against her side, where the side flopped open, and…sure enough…
…that was not Tikki staring back at her.
“Y-y-you…” she stammered, her eyes going wide. “Who the heck are you?!”
The little…snake…thing…it looked like a snake? Sort of? But snakes didn’t have legs. Or arms. And she supposed that was because it was a kwami, not an actual snake, but…the thing floated up from her bag, and that was definitely a snake’s tongue that flickered out at her.
“…Tikki was right,” it said, its voice mildly amused. “Your home ssssmells delicccciousssss.”
She blinked at it, more than a little thrown.
“Uh…thanks?” she tried. It chuckled and zipped over to her, and she tried not to flinch as it circled around her back to land on her shoulder. It grinned up at her.
“Hello, Marinette,” it said. “I am Ssssasssss.”
It…he? He sounded like a he, but voices could be deceiving. Whatever — it was…kind of adorable, when you got past the snake thing. She liked its hiss — it was cute.
“Hi,” she said, raising a finger to stroke its hood. It hissed in pleasure, and she had to smile. “Why are you in my bag, Sass, and where’s Tikki?”
…and then Sass smirked at her, and she was struck by the thought that it wasn’t very adorable at all.
There was something…unnerving about that smirk. Unsettling.
“With your soulmate,” it said, its tail flicking against her back.
She…should have known that. Because duh, obviously. You could only see your own kwami — and your soulmate’s kwami. But Marinette hadn’t known she’d had a soulmate before she had found Sass in her bag, and she had had Tikki with her at the Liberty, and she hadn’t been anywhere except home and the boat all day, and…and…
“…S-Sass?” she asked, her eyes widening. “You…when did you get in my bag?”
It curled up in a little ball on her shoulder and rested its head on its arms. It still looked like it was smirking at her, and that smirk was still kinda creeping her the heck out.
“Oh, not too long ago…” it hummed. “The river was sssso nicccce today, and your bag is essspecccially comfy. I thought I would take a nap, but you left before I could ssssneak back out.”
…the river.
It got in her bag at practice.
Which meant it hadn’t snuck in during the bakery rush, which…was good, right? Because that meant it could only belong to a handful of people. Which meant…
“Sass…” she started, swallowing. “Who…who’s your person?”
It blinked open its eyes, that insufferable smirk still on its face as it cocked its head to the side.
“Who do you think, Marinette?” it asked. She tried not to roll her eyes. Honestly, and she had thought Tikki was…
“Your kwami’s a little shit, too, huh?”
The words echoed in her memory, and her eyes widened. No…
“Y-you can’t be Rose’s or Juleka’s,” she said. It watched her patiently. “They saw each other’s kwamis ages ago. And Ivan was really good at hiding his, but I know Mylène saw Stompp when we started collége. You…your person was on the boat, right?”
“He lives there, yessss,” Sass hummed, lying its…his head back down. Marinette swallowed.
He.
Which ruled out the Captain.
…thank God.
But that also meant…
Her phone pinged before she could ask, and she fished it out of her pocket with a shaky hand. Sure enough, there was a text message waiting for her.
From Luka.
LLC: can we talk?
LLC: actually, can i just come by later?
LLC: got work
LLC: you left something behind
A picture popped up before she had even finished reading. And kwamis couldn’t be photographed or recorded — part of their ancient, mystical magic — but there was a cookie hovering above his knee, and Marinette knew for a fact Tikki loved cookies. And cookies didn’t typically float.
She dropped her phone, fell back against the door, dropped her head in her hands, and screamed.

How did we get to such a sad state with TV shows?
There is nothing that viewers can do that is good enough to help the TV shows that they like. Not every show is going to be a massive hit but apparently it needs to be in order to get more than 10-20 episodes.
Everything is getting cancelled and then no one wants to watch anything because they know what's going to happen. It's a horrible and disappointing cycle.

Most unbelievable part of Red White and Royal Blue isn’t that the son of an American President (who is a woman) falls in love with a British prince and they actually get to be together in the end. Not even close. It’s that Texas voted blue in the election. Fucking Texas voting blue. Most idealistic shit I’ve ever seen and imma be living off of that for the next few days I love it I want to live in the rwarb universe

I wish more people understood that sometimes a desire can be completely unproblematic, but the way they express that desire is hurtful
you can want whatever body you want. you can want whatever life you want. just be careful about the way you talk about this shit, especially when your desires are already associated with the lived realities of a minority you're not a part of

having a crush is so dumb cause it’s like wanting to talk to someone but not wanting to annoy them but wanting to talk to them but not having anything to say and still wanting to talk to them

You all know you can just not use this website right. And like while youre at it just dont use social media at all. No one is holding you at gun point man youre not actually going to miss out on Life, just The Online. And they are not the same thing. And life is definitely the important one. FOMO is a fallacy be free delete all your socials today. I worry about something useful or impactful that might pop up here and if IM not here ill miss it until i remind myself that this is the only social i DO use, and i dont worry about missing something important on any of the other ones because i just dont use them, it doesnt matter. And if i throw this one into the pile too it Wont Matter. And while we're at it, maybe something just as if not more useful and impactful is happening in the immediacy around me and im missing out on THAT because im On That Damn Phone. You are doomed to miss out on 99.9999999999% of all lived reality dont fucking sweat it. Just breathe. Id rather go away and breathe

Gah, stuck in a place where there is a bunch of media I want to watch, but I’m afraid I’ll hyperfocus on them, and I don’t want to do that until I finish the fic I’m working on because it might break my current hyperfocus

Wait fuck I forgot but 🦾 for any character
🦾 - A disability headcanon
Tango's autistic! Zedaph wrote it in his Chamber report and thought that Tango was already aware. He was not
I've mentioned it before but I'm very set on the idea that the Empires s2 toy curse thing gives Jimmy lingering joint stiffness and pain. He's super irritated by it and the only reason he uses the cane he's got for bad days is because his rancher made it. There's the lingering fear that it'll be just another target for teasing, all too easy to play keep-away with. Nobody touches it and Jimmy gains a new tool to smack Joel over the head with
