BKDK endgame theory

Another highly self-indulgent theory on how bkdk's gonna be endgame canonically

Disclaimer: Since I don't wanna jinx it or feel embarrassed for being so brazen about this mere silly thought of mine, I'll just keep this private until if things similar to what I've predicted became true. Otherwise, this will only be for my eyes alone. - edited 6 Nov 2023

Fuck all of that guess I'm just gonna put it out there and let y'all have fun as I embarrass myself. Just think it's all for lolz if none of these happen, at least I have fun writing to indulge my fantasy - edited 8 Nov 2023

So, what I think is that since hori's gonna keep giving us surprises and +u up his own game, my guess is that to clearly and subtly lock the pair without making it feel forced is to make bkdk make a promise to each other that hinted a lifelong warrant. Refer this to what toga said in her arc

It's not exactly a love confession, but what'll you feel if someone promise to dedicate their whole life in making you feel happiness, loved? I think that's love disguise in a glass case

So, how's this gonna parallel to our favourite dorks who're both so emotionally constipated and verbally poor at confessing?

Me thinks that, apparently when the boys were pushed to the extremes -- to the moment when there's literally no time affordable to think of anything else besides the most important thing they hold in their life, that the moment their body has to move on their own by instincts -- we'll finally get to see, bright as day, where their true feelings lay.

As far as we've seen, it has been clearly revealed (except for those who're illiterate or in a dilemma of spiralling denial) that on katsuki's side, Izuku's the one constantly haunting his head for the rest of his 10+ years. He'd jump into battle with him, rush in front of him to avert the blow, fight in pain to stay relevant in izuku's battle -- to the point of fighting to his death to protect his seniors and to yet remain as izuku's image of victory... all these, to atone his mistakes in mistreating Izuku.

Throughout his character growth, Katsuki had been to the extremes. What are the most extreme situations if not death itself?

After that, however, we see katsuki came back with his heart fully open (pun definitely not intended!), feelings more outwardly shown, saying thanks sincerely without hiding behind his explosive demeanor, smiling straightforwardly at his favourite idol AM 🥺

Katsuki had met his breaking point, met death itself, and came back a new man. A man who wanted to change before everything was too late. As soon as he woke up, he didn't waste time hesitating to allow further regrets, showing gratitude and humility whole-heartedly in any instant he should've done like any decent human being would.

Except, there's still one thing he hadn't yet achieve to reach a complete circle for his narrative.

Pre-war, Katsuki's biggest dread, the constant looming threat choking around his neck, was being unable to be honest and sincere to Izuku.

"But wait! He'd already stated his apology, he has no regrets left!"

Well, if you have that complain, you're not understanding katsuki well enough. Katsuki is a man of action more than his words. It's quite a common habit for Asians too to put more thoughts into action rather than just spewing beautiful words. And Katsuki, through and through, was an all-in-or-nothing kind of guy. He would never stop at just apologising. If his prior intention for reconciliation was to make himself feel better, then the integrity behind his actions and words was nullified, since that would undoubtedly negate the whole building up of his character's motivation. Moreover, it would become a huge flaw in horikoshi's writing as that would depict him in a "fake hero" spotlight as well as contradict the character's self incentive to be the bestest hero there is. I wouldn't bet hori would decide to ruin his writing like this. In fact, this is such a huge plot point for katsuki's character development that such a small blunder at this point would greatly affect the whole endgame story dynamic to his readers. Not that he'd care if he really did chose that path... I mean 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

Anyway, personality-wise, I'd say Katsuki would be the first person to hate that particular kind of people if he sees one. He'd definitely be disgusted of himself if he were one. That's why I wouldn't bet hori will make that blunder, because hori had been writing him as an incessantly growing character, relentlessly pushing his limits to be the best and always showed his results through visible actions.

So then, back to the point, what were left to do if he had already apologised? What more does he need to do then to further compensate?

:) As I've mentioned earlier, nothing beats the offer of a lifelong compensation, of devoting one's own time and energy willingly to the other as long as they need, or provide care and attention whenever they deserve.

"Wait. What does that even sound like tho? Doesn't that seem like a huge burden to bear??"

For Katsuki however, it's as per usual: all in or nothing!

A promise that hinted lifelong devotion though... That truly sounds like a heavy dedication to carry for the rest of one's life. Doesn't that kind of vow ring any bells? That's the only conclusion I could come to unfortunately. Because Katsuki is a perfectionist, he'll never aim at only atoning his mistakes for a "measly" 10-20 years.

But then, at what kind of situation he would promise a life-binding oath like that out of the ordinary?? Knowing our boys, there's no way they would open their ironclad mouths to say something as romantic as that out of the blue, right??

So here comes my prediction❗❗

📢 warning: take everything below with a grain of salt because at this point it's just me wildin' haha

Evidently, it's been awhile we're constantly warned about Izuku's lack-of-oxygen crisis. He was still fighting sAFO alone while Katsuki came back to focus on AFO himself.

There's a few ways things could go south from there. Afo could very well be dealt by Katsuki now with extra buffs(his new cluster moves), but Izuku was still in an unknown critical state. So while Katsuki busied himself distracting afo, Izuku could somehow got sucked into sAFO's vestige space in a moment's hesitation (or something happened that sucked him into vestige space). We might finally get our vestige space fight between Izuku and tenko & OFA vs AFO, or we could get a heartwarming talk no jutsu (as well as some sprinkle of action fights) between Izuku and Tenko. And all of these played out without the involvement of Katsuki -- as he's stuck in the physical world and is still dealing a rampaging afo. The dudebros would be happy about this. Finally they had a chance to laugh at us at being clowns for wanting katsuki's involvement in the vestige fight. But remember, hori is a troll through and through. He could troll us, he could troll the dudebros too. It's our temporary loss for not getting Katsuki fight beside izuku in afo vestige space, but we'll have something better later!

Because while all of those happen in the vestige space, apparently Tomura and Izuku's body will be out of it, falling to the ground and seemingly lifeless, out of consciousness to the eye of the people in the physical world.

I can imagine Katsuki having no time to spare while dealing with Afo as this happen. He's got to finish AFO first to get back to Izuku. And I promise you it'll not take too long for him to do that, 'cause it'll be a combo attack from IN and OUT as Izuku counter both Afo and tenko in the vestige space -- but it'll feel a bit longer in Izuku's pov as timeflow seems to be slightly different in there.

Anyhow, as Katsuki was done with afo, what do you think he'll react then when he reached a passed out Izuku? When he arrived to the scene of Izuku and Tenko on the ground, Izuku probably temporarily *not breathing* and motionless. *not breathing due to the setback of gearshift

Katsuki will be shocked and traumatized. After spilling his heart out to win AFO with/for izuku, how could he stand to win the battle if Izuku wasn't there to claim victory alongside him? He would hold Izuku's hand and kept calling out to him (maybe angrily or threatening but the words are sweet and all of it are very contrasting?👀), calling for his soul to come back. Surely he would start crying and confess all his regrets even more too. *reminder: these are only possible because all his walls were finally broken down after his revival, he's a changed man in and out.*

Then, even better! When the medic units and probably some other heroes arrived to the scene, Katsuki suddenly realised he could give Izuku cpr! He'll do it himself and think it'll work since he learnt it from emergency treating lessons, and he didn't want Izuku to leave his side but also didn't want to do nothing to help Izuku recover.

See? Plus Ultra. Katsuki giving Izuku cpr y'all. Bkdk won. All these too in front of some witnesses and recording cameras. :)

And, yeah, cuz hori is a troll, katsuki's kiss of life actually wasn't the *sole* reason Izuku came to (all for the ambiguity too, ya know ;) and besides, hori likes trolling Katsuki too, not allowing him to get what he wants)-- it was all Izuku's well-deserved victory on defeating afo and saving tenko from the vestige space that allowed him to return to his own body after the vestige world close up. In fact, Izuku didn't actually need it, he was merely away from his body to fight in the vestige space for a bit; if he won, he would eventually come back and wake up by himself, the problem of hypoxia naturally dissolved along with it.

In another words, the "kiss" was just a bonus. It's a heartfelt gift from hori-sensei to his bkdk/grateful manga readers. Because in the end of the day, it's the promise between Izuku and Katsuki that wrapped the deal of bkdk being endgame canonically. For Hori, it's a win-win situation; he could have fun building suspense over his readers, as well as finally letting his favourite boys earn their long overdue peace to be together. Also, completing both protagonist and deuteragonist narrative foil as save to win, win to save. AND not making the whole scene romantically charged, as the reason behind their actions aren't out of sexual desire nor sexual attraction, since tHis Is sTilL JusT a shOuNen mAnGa afterall. Just "bros" devoting their life to each other and occasionally hold hands to get comfortable of each other's touch because they're practicing their next combo move. 😀

3.134 Parenting

Once Desiree was satisfied, I placed her in the bassinet, snapped a picture to send to everyone, and called Mama. Naturally, she thought I was still at the hospital, so I told her our heroic tale of home birth. It upset her at first because anyone in their right mind would have been concerned about giving birth unassisted. But in the end, she said she was proud of me. Dad was still over there, so she told him of his new granddaughter, and he came over immediately. Sophia was supposed to be resting, but was much too excited to sleep and eager to spend time with Desi. I mean, she was probably the best baby ever born, so I didn't kick back too much when she appeared at the door when Dad arrived. She promised to go to bed as soon as he left.

"She's beautiful, son. I'm really happy for you both."

"Thanks, Dad."

Knowing Sophia couldn't sleep because she wanted to hold our daughter, I probably should have given Desi up, but I couldn't part with her. At least not yet. I asked if Dad wanted to hold her because it was the right thing to do, but I was glad he declined. He, like me, was skittish about holding her, even after having two children of his own. The more I held her, the more comfortable I became. At that rate, I'd be a professional newborn handler in no time.

"When you were a toddler," he began, "I was still afraid of you. Of course, you were bigger and less fragile then, but I had never really been around children before and didn't know what to do with you."

Looking back, I saw evidence of that all the way through our childhood. He was naturally a laid-back guy, but his parenting style was also very hands off. He basically let us do whatever we wanted, only stepping in when it was critical or we came to him. Mama was kind of passive too, but she checked in with us from time to time to see how things were going and how she could help. What kind of parent did I aspire to be? I certainly couldn't see myself as a helicopter, but I think I'd like to be less be passive. Only time would tell what I'd become.

"I learned quickly how fickle children are at that age and was deathly afraid of you having a tantrum, so I tried to talk to you nicely when it was time for a bath or whatever I needed you to do. You thought it was funny and would mock me."

"Really?? I did that?"

"Sure did."

"I bet you were so adorable," Sophia said.

"He was. They both were. And now you both have your own. I wish I had more time to see them grow up, but I'm happy just knowing they exist."

"Don't talk like that, Dad."

"I'm old, Luca. I won't be around forever."

Sad doggie whimpers saved me from that conversation. It's not that I didn't realize my parents had gotten on in age, but I didn't want to discuss it yet. I was still high from becoming a parent for the first time. He could burst my bubble after my birthday, and he better not die before then.

"What's the matter, Rosie? Did you hear the baby? You have a little sister now. Come here. Let's get you introduced."

I put down Des, picked up Rosie, and brought her to the bassinet.

"This is Desiree. She's gonna be your new playmate soon, and I'm gonna get you and Kooper some treats so you can play with her for a really long time."

She licked my face, so I guess she forgave me. I hadn't completely neglected them, but she and Kooper definitely got lost in the shuffle.

"We still love you and Koop. You were our first babies! But this baby is gonna need a lot of help, so don't think I don't love you if we don't go jogging every day, okay?"

"You're such a good daddy," Sophia said.

I think I detected a hint of flirt in there, but I kept that thought to myself. Maybe when she wasn't struggling to keep her eyes opened I'd revisit, heh. She excused herself to go to bed a few minutes later. Desiree began fussing again, but I didn't have to guess what she needed that time; I could smell it. Dad had gone downstairs, probably to see what he could do around the house to help, so it was on me to get Little Miss Lady cleaned up. It was surprisingly not that hard. At least I hope I did it right.

RvB Restoration incoherent liveblog, then more coherent thoughts at the end

spoilers of course

Kai!!! God I hope she's in more than one scene

Why do I feel like something's up with Wash?

Wait when did they get Sheila back??

Hey they actually mentioned O'mally and how Doc perceived that

Like how they kept Grif being absolutely done with everything like in season 15

Simmons stop being mean to your boyfriend

I just realized that Epsilon's armor is from a different game than the others

Oohhh wow the Great Destroyer prophecy is actually relevant

wait how is Felix part of the Meta 2.0? I thought they just couldn't get Elijah Wood back for Sigma and that's the orange AI talking to Delta, but it's actually a version of Felix??

Yep, totally expected the Reds to nope out xD

OK that's totally Sigma with a different voice actor (Miles?). Or was Epsilon was implying that Felix and Sigma merged somehow.

This is also a real good look into how Maine was tortured

Tucker noooooo :(

Wash go save your boyfriend

Also wait why is Wash in a hospital again? he was fine at the end of season 13. Unless this is a hallucination and he had a mental break

Surprised Grif went along with this

479er!!!! My girl!

Also did Sarge forget for like the 3rd time that the Red vs Blue fight was fake?

Ahhh yes, the classic Sarge plan of 'Kill Grif'

Love how they glossed over the actual fight at the end of season 13

Oh god the zoom class flashbacks

WAIT WHAT

oh shit that's Tucker in the armor

hey you know what would be real fucked? if Junior shows up

oh wow didn't expect the Reds to straight up leave Caboose to die

wait Sarge don't do a heroic sacrifice

hell yeah Sarge badass moment!

oh no Sarge in front of that door

fuck, if anyone from Blood Gulch was going to die it would be Sarge

aww Sarge finally saying he's proud of Simmons legitimately has me tearing up

People are going to say that Sarge being nice to Grif is out of character, but honestly I think it fits

why do I think Doc is a hallucination of Wash's?

oh wow Simmons

Grimmons moment? Run away with me, just the two of us.

aww Grif, choosing to stay of his own volition

So they're retconing Private Jimmy again? Church was in a robot for Blood Gulch?

Church gets a body again?

aww memories :) someone better draw fanart of Caboose, Grif, and Simmons and reminiscing around a campfire

Where is Carolina in all this?

I'm wondering if this is to bring Tex back instead of Church?

oof Simmons' robo arm

TEX???

Simmons badass moment

hey wait Simmons better not die

Car moment!

FUCK YES TEX

also is Wash just unconscious somewhere?

oh there he is

ooohhh he's calling Carolina with he beacon?

oh shit are we going to get a Tex and Carolina team up!

yeah Carolina!!!!!

wait Grif and Simmons don't know she's Allison's kid xD

mother daughter team up for the ages

you know, if Tucker was still conscious in there he would absolutely make a joke about getting double teamed by two badass ladies

You know, I don't think Tucker is surviving this

Oh fuck yeah Tex!

wait what how can she use the sword?

oohhh Tucker was still holding it

Theta baby boy :(

awww Tex and Church are finally together

now someone get Tucker to a hospital

I feel like the best plan would be destroying it- oh there it goes

oh Doc is totally a hallucination

oh Doc is dead :(

North??

oh it's all the Freelancers :(

Yeah I can definitely see that conversation between Wash and Carolina as either romantic or platonic, everyone wins there

is One from season 18? I don't recognize her

oh the shot of them on top of the base :(

Grif goes home... alone :(

aww the credits with everyone's faces. that last shot of the four of the OG RoosterTeeth crew:(((

I think that was a good end. I wish Wash would have actually talked to Tucker, and I'm sad we didn't see Donut and no canon grimmons but that was a long shot. I wish there was a bit more of Tucker as himself, but he's been the main character for a while so it was nice to focus on the others. the actual ending after the fight did feel a little rushed, I would have liked a bit more of Blue team recovering. also is it now just Simmons and Lopez vs Caboose, Tucker, Wash, and Carolina, or are the Freelancers going to leave?

I'm making a separate Grimmons post

All in all I liked it :) I think the most important thing was the everyone was in character. I know people are going to nitpick it and tear it apart, but it honestly could have been way worse.

Bow Chicka Bye Now

[queen-scribbles]

👪,🍧, 🌙, & ☄️ for Kina!!

Yesss my spiky girl!

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

Ha. Well. In a word? Criminal. 😂 Her dad(Pak Taldine) is was a gangster so ruthless his own men sold him out and got him sent to Belsavis(where he grows a conscience and turns his life around, hence the was). Her mom(Kyvii) was a grifter and one of the front staff for a casino Pak's gang worked out of. Kina didn't really have any sort of relationship with Pak; he just let Kyvii stay on at her job as long as she still pulled her weight, and he landed in Belsavis prison when Kina was about 12. She knew who he was and his reputation but that was about it, I don't think he ever said two words to her.

Kyvii did... an alright job single parenting while working at a gang-controlled casino. She taught Kina all the tricks and dirty fighting stuff she knows, how to shoot a blaster, how to spot an easy mark, how to play up being innocent, all that. She got caught scamming some rich kid when Kina was 13 and landed in jail. Kina's been on her own ever since.

There's no siblings, thanks to the fling-like nature of Pak and Kyvii's relationship(if you can even call it a relationship). She doesn't even know what's happened to her parents since she wound up on her own. And yes, yes I HAVE thought about post-redemption Pak crossing paths with her at some point on the expac storyline and going "WAIT. that's my kid". >:3

Her family now is her crew. I'd say she's closest to Akaavi out of the group, but Corso and Risha are absolutely both sibling-tier friends, too, she'd die for Bowie, and actually even really likes Guss.

🍧 SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?

Objects no. It's all been sold or lost or stolen along the way. And she didn't have much that was hers to begin with. Does her last name count? Kyvii doesn't have a surname, so she put Taldine down for Kina. Kina doesn't know why, if it was a way of giving her identity, or protection(no criminal's going to come after Pak Taldine's kid, that won't end well sort of thing) or what. But toys, clothes, mementos, all of it's gone.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc's greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

If you asked her, she'd say either more credits than a Hutt could spend in a lifetime or a complete mechanical overhaul of her ship to make sure that baby lasts her whole life and then some.

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

More face time with Rass Ordo. I MEAN. Currently? For someone more noble and appropriately heroic to come along and be in charge or saving/policing the galaxy. She's one of those who saved the place bc "I'm one of the idiots who lives in it" rather than feeling any obligation to help. xD She doesn't really want to be in this position, though it does have its perks(fueling privileges with the Republic, lots of chances to earn credits or favors, meeting ~wonderful, fun~ people [She's looking at Rass again]). It's more responsibility than she EVER wanted. It's too much of a headache.

Emoji asks

[haleigh-sloth]

With Lady Nagant and her backstory, I am once again hopeful that slowly but surely where heroes went wrong will be acknowledged by the main hero cast, and when it's not coming out of villains' mouths people will start actually agreeing with it. It's scary how realistic BNHA world is in that sense. It's so easy to ignore accountability when people with good intentions cause harm, just because a character genuinely wishes to be better, it does not mean their way going about is the right way to do it, and it does not mean they should not suffer consequences for it.

With Hawks, he is a character I like a lot, but in a way that I agree with everything his antis say. His character and his choices makes sense to me, and I understand how he saw himself in Jin, someone who desperately wants to help others, and how he wanted to help him. But the way he sees the world, Hawks cannot understand that Jin had already found people who have accepted him for who he is, how he was happy helping them, how he was not in need of saving from the League, he was not unlucky to have met them.

For Hawks, when he was recruited by HPSC, he was given a chance at a better life and he makes the same offer to Jin, because he thinks he is a good person, and a good person deserves a chance at a "better life," which from Hawks' perspective would be Jin getting rehabilitated into this very society that rejected him and becoming a productive member.

Him wanting to help Endeavor who he sees as someone trying to fix his past is in character too, heroes right now are all eager to just stop the villains so that the things can go back to how they were, and Hawks with other heroes is just focused on putting an end to this as quickly as possible. My hopes for him would be him coming to terms with his own victimhood, not only beeing freed from HPSC's shackles in the literal sense just because there aren't people giving him orders anymore, but at least questioning whether what they were doing was the right thing. Everything about his character tells me he's set up for a tragedy, but Horikoshi saying he would be a light of hope in his interview from a while back makes me think he'll survive it and start to do actually better this time.

I'm sorry for the long rambling about, I don't expect you to reply to it, I really understand why people don't like his character especially when there's so many people defending his actions that were clearly in the wrong, but I personally like him so I couldn't help myself from typing this one out.

It's fine!! I really really do enjoy peoples' commentary so please don't apologize!

I don't dislike Hawks at all! However yes, everything you said is true. It makes him hard to like--for me personally. I was already waaay into the villains when his introduction came around so nothing was really going to pull my attention off of them. If not for them I may have gotten more into his character.

I've seen a lot of very good Hawks-loving blogs predict his redemptive death--even with the Horikoshi interview. I've seen them say they think he will die heroically by "saving someone he shouldn't", meaning a villain obviously. Which I can definitely see happening. However, Horikoshi has not given me any reason to believe that he is actually going to deal the heroes any real damage....I mean, they've lost two characters that were somewhat important (and not even really)--Midnight and Nighteye. And not to be an asshole, but their deaths had no real impact on the story. So I'm skeptical that any heroes will die. It's the same reason Idk that All Might will die in the end--even though he has an incredible number of death flags as well.

But we will see! I really just want all of the villains to survive and get their happy endings. So we'll just hold out hope for all of our favorite characters' happy endings!

[miraculousamara]

The link is the part prior to the rest of it. Well both are chapter two, but still.

Scene: The locker room. Ivan is upset. The akuma flies in and infects Ivan's wadded-up song lyrics.

Hawk Moth: (from his lair) This is your second chance, Stoneheart, and this time you have extra help. No one will stop you from capturing the love of your life. Just remember, I'll need something in return.

(Ivan is akumatized into Stoneheart again. He opens his eyes and all the other stone beings across Paris start waking up.)

------------------

Cameron's POV:

"I'm gonna take attendance." Miss Bustier says

"Agreste, Adrien." She says

"You say present." I hear Nino whisper

Adrien jumps up and raises his hand.

"PRESENT!" He yells

I can't help myself from laughing. But Chloe doesn't glare at me because she's doing it too.

Adrien sits back down and Nino and him fist-bump.

"Um Bourgeois, Cameron." She says

"Present." I say

"Bourgeois,Chloe." She says

"Present." Chloe says

"Um Bruel, Ivan?" She asks

Suddenly the door is knocked down.

"PRESENT!" Stoneheart bellows.

"Stoneheart?" I say

"MYLENE!" He shouts and grabs her

"Let me go Ivan." She says

"I'm Stoneheart now." He says

"Why are you doing this?" Mylene asks

"So we can be together forever." He says

I see Chloe on her phone.

Oh no, she's gonna drag attention to herself isn't she?

"Daddy! The monster is back!" Chloe says

"Chloe!" I say jumping in front of her, but he grabs both of us

Stoneheart breaks a wall, and jumps out with us.

"Put us down Ivan!" Mylene says

-----------------

"You are so utterly ridiculous Cameron!" Chloe says

"What did I do wrong this time?" I ask

"Everything!" Chloe yells

"Hey buddy! You have no idea who you're dealing with! My daddy, the mayor will bring the army, the police and the entire calvary!" Chloe yells

"And don't forget the superheroes!" Says Cat Noir

"Chloe please stop talking, I don't want to get crushed!" I say worried

"Cat Noir!" I say relieved

He hits Stoneheart and he grows.

"My bad.." he says

"You mean the super incompetent!" Chloe says

"And here I thought you were related." He jokes

"Please save us Cat Noir." I say

"You wanted the calvary? Well here it is!" Stoneheart says as the Stonebeings come around Cat Noir, trying to capture him.

"Watch out!" Mylene says

"Where are we going Ivan?" She asks

"We'll deliver a message,  then be brought together forever by a pretty black butterfly." He says

"All this lovey dovey stuff is making me sick!" Says Chloe

"Don't worry monsters, I'll take care of you soon too!" He says

-----------------

At the Eiffel Tower

"Let go of my daughters!" My father yells through a megaphone

"You know what? You're welcome to them!" Stoneheart yells throwing us.

"Help!" I yell

"I'm gonna die with my evil sister!" I say a little more quietly

"Help! I promise I'll be nice to everyone, say please and thank you all-" Chloe says

Ladybug catches us.

"I didn't promise." Chloe says

"What?" Ladybug says

Chloe and I for once have the same idea and rush to our father. I mean this is all strange and confusing..

We hug him.

"My little princesses." He says

"Time to attack! We're all clear!" Says Officer Roger

Has he not been paying attention? They just get stronger with each attack..

"Wait don't! They'll only get stronger!" Ladybug pleads

"Unlike you guys, we actually have a new plan! So step aside and let the pros handle this! You've already failed once!" He says

Well that's just rude.

I watch the confidence drain from Ladybug until she is given a pep talk by Cat Noir.

Suddenly Stoneheart starts coughing profusely until a cloud of black butterflies form the face of what appears to be some sort of man.

"Daddy.. what is that?" I ask

"I wish I knew." He says honestly

"People of Paris, listen to the words I speak. I am Hawkmoth." Says the cloud.

"Did he say Hawkmoth was his name?" I ask

"He must be the head supervillain.." I say

"Oh shut up Cameron." Chloe says

He's made up of the butterflies, I mean it is a reasonable assumption. But Chloe just hates when I speak I think.

"Ladybug and Cat Noir give up the ring and the earrings now. You've caused enough damage to these innocent people!" He says

"They've caused damage?!" I shout

"You're the one who created a supervillain who threw me and almost turned me into a Cameron Pancake!" I yell angrily

"Yeah nice try Hawkmoth. But everyone here knows who the supervillain creating bad guy is here. So don't even bother trying to reverse the roles." Ladybug says

"Let me promise you this! No matter how long it takes we will find you! And you will give us your miraculous!" She yells

"Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug yells as she swipes up the black butterflies.

Wow she's so cool!

"Let me make this promise to you Parisians! No matter what dangers await us in the future, Ladybug and Cat Noir will always be here to protect you!" She says

Suddenly thousands of white butterflies fly out from her yo-yo.

"That's the problem with heroes! They're too heroic! Stoneheart, they're trying to separate you from the one you love! The only way to stop them is by taking their miraculouses." I hear Hawkmoth tell Stoneheart

"Yes Hawkmoth!" He says

"Help me!" I hear Mylene shout.

"You'll never take her from me!" He yells

"Ladybug we're surrounded! We need a plan!" Says Cat Noir

"I've got one! Lucky Charm!" She says

A parachute falls into her hand.

"Help me! I'm scared of heights!" Mylene says

"Don't worry! We'll save you!" Ladybug says

"Are you sure this plan will work?" Cat Noir asks

"I sure hope so!" Ladybug says

She uses her yo-yo to wrap Stoneheart's hand up. As she pulls on it, Mylene ends up kissing Stoneheart.

He lets go, Mylene grabs a hold of his finger.

Cat Noir throws a dark purple object up to Ladybug who crushes it with her yo-yo.

The black butterfly flies out.

"De-evilize!" She says

As she's about to catch the butterfly, Stoneheart changes back to Ivan, and he and Mylene start falling fast.

"Cat Noir! Get Ivan!" Ladybug says

"Cataclysm!" He yells

He slides down the Eiffel Tower with Ivan.

Ladybug uses the parachute to land safely with Mylene, while capturing the butterfly.

"Bye bye little butterfly.."

"Miraculous Ladybug!" She yells throwing the parachute into the air.

Suddenly millions of tiny little Ladybugs start repairing all damage caused by the incident.

"Wow this is Amazing!" Cat Noir says

"Yeah. It's.. Miraculous!" Ladybug says

------

"Chloe, Daddy, let's go home." I say

"I agree, I've had far too much excitement in one day." Chloe says

--------------------

The Next Day, at school

Lucky for me I made it to class before Chloe and Sabrina for once, because I decided not to wait up for them.

Marinette and Alya enter the classroom.

"Wait Alya, here." Marinette says motioning to the seats in front of me.

I smirk lightly.

"Ugh! You're in the wrong seat! Get lost!" Chloe says

"Well guess what Chloe, All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good people do nothing!" Marinette says

Maybe she's right...

Maybe today is the day I stand up for myself too..

"What's that even supposed to mean?" Chloe asks

"It means that I'm not putting up with your crud anymore, Chloé, and neither is anyone else around here, so take your attitude and go on, get lost!" She says

I stand up.

"You know what Chloe, she's right!" I say

"Cameron don't you dare say another word!" Chloe says

Everyone gasps shocked.

"No! Chloe I'm done. I want to be me! Not you! I'm done being a mean, bossy, bulky like you all the time. I'm done wearing what you tell me to! I'm done doing what you want me to! We may be twins, but I am my own person and I'm gonna prove it!" I say

Everyone starts clapping.

I blush when I realize I said I everything.

"Take that back now!" Chloe says

"No! For the first time in a long time, I'm proud of myself and mean every word I've said!" I say

"And Chloe your attitude is Utterly Ridiculous, so just sit down already!" I say

She gasps angrily and sits in Marinette's old seat.

All the other students laugh at her..

"Woah.. I can't believe I just did that." I say

"Marinette.. your confidence inspired me, thank you." I say with a smile.

"Really?" She asks

"Yeah." I say smiling again

"I'm glad I could help." She says

----------------

After class

"Just so you know, you'll regret siding with Dupain-Cheng over me." Chloe says

"You know what Chloe.." I say

"Bring it on." I say

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1: IF YOU COULD WRITE YOUR CHARACTER YOUR WAY IN THEIR OWN MOVIE, WHAT WOULD IT BE CALLED, WHAT STYLE WOULD IT BE FILMED IN, AND WHAT WOULD IT BE ABOUT?

•So, I'm already making a comic that I want to make as an animation for the story of FFXIV with my character and her friends. This character was specifically built for FFXIV, but it has a twist. Kinda like a Sword Art Online ordeal, but instead of Millions of people playing are stuck in the world, it's just like 100, but they aren't stuck, in fact they are just chosen to go between their world and Eorzea. If they die, they don't actually die, but respawn, even in their own world, but they feel how they die and the only way for them to die in any shape or form is by natural cause like old age or sickness. This would be a 2D animation in the anime style and be a multi episode series with multiple seasons. I even though about branching out to go certain routes so that Lyllyan can end up with all my favorite characters. I would call it Final Fantasy XIV: A World Reborn.

Q2: WHAT WOULD THEIR SOUNDTRACK/SCORE SOUND LIKE?

•With it being a Final Fantasy story, it would have Final Fantasy Music.

Q3: WHY DID YOU START WRITING THIS CHARACTER?

•Lyllyan Weiss was made to represent me and she still does, but also inspires me to be more like my courageous heroic self. Because of this, I have been able to do things like crossing a bridge that's in bad shape to get to the other side without the fear of falling, just to get back to my mom who went to the other side on a trip we had.

Q4: WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS CHARACTER?

•She is literally me.

Q5: DESCRIBE THE BIGGEST THING YOU DISLIKE ABOUT YOUR MUSE.

•Just like me, she is stubborn and hard working, but there are times she pushes herself way too much. She hesitates to ask for help, not because she doesn't trust the people around her, but more of trying to not burden them. Others wish she would open up to them and also rest when she can. Raha has to literally force her to rest, and she nearly gets herself killed against the first battle with Rahjit because she kept getting back up to fight even when the others beg her to stop.

Q6: WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN COMMON WITH YOUR MUSE?

•Almost everything. Major thing is that she doesn't look like me, but also I know when to quit.

Q7: HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT YOU?

• I feel like if Lyllyan and I were to meet in person, we'd get along just fine. We would play video games all day long if we could.

Q8: WHAT CHARACTERS DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE INTERESTING INTERACTIONS WITH?

•OH BOI HERE WE GOOO

- Leveilleur Twins: Alphinaud and Alisaie are very close to Lyllyan. Alphinaud used to pull Lyllyan out of class to have her hurry up and go through the story, now its chill and play ace attorney. Alphinaud, depending on what route is taken, is definitely in love with Lyllyan and is constantly teased about it by everyone. Alisaie is like a sister to Lyllyan. They have had many nights where the pulled 24 hours playing Sims. Alisaie is who Lyllyan tries to protect the most between the two. She's also the reason why Lyllyan is now Bi. Lyllyan absolutely adores her and if the route is taken, they end up being the cutest couple.

-Leon D'hart: An Alt character that I made that depending on the story and route, he is also Lyllyan's Lover. He is a character made by Square Enix to be the Warrior of Light replacement if Lyllyan did not succeed in preventing herself becoming a light warden. His story with her is a bunch of trial and tribulations, but in the end they do end up married.

-G'raha Tia/Crystal Exarch: The main story Lyllyan's Lover. Great friend to start out and tears were shed when he sealed himself into the tower. He really kept Lyllyan guessing when he was Exarch. When Emet-Selch kidnapped him, Lyllyan was hellbent on getting him back. Now she visits him at the first everyday bring stuff from Eorzea for him, and even occasionally stuff from her world. He is her world as she is to him.

-The Scions: Thancred and Lyllyan are like Big brother, Little sister. He protects her, and scolds her as such. They may act like they hate each other, but the moment either gets hurt, the other is at their sides. Though rumor has it that Thancred had feelings for Lyllyan. Y'shtola is close to Lyllyan, but is usually not around often. Shtola usually is often around to keep an eye on Lyllyan's aether since her amount is quite high compared to the others and her fellow Warriors of Light. Urianger is someone who used to hardly talk to Lyllyan, but started opening up more after the years. He had watched her grow from 15 moons to now 21 as the others, but they seem to be more special to him. Lyllyan swore to protect him if anything ever happened especially after he asked her her thoughts on his new attire. Tataru is a precious angel and if anyone was to hurt her, Lyllyan would kill everyone and then herself. Ryne, even though she is not a scion, she is a scion. Ryne worries about Lyllyan, but is often in awe of her. Lyllyan and Thancred adopted her, and she's ended up calling Lyllyan mom on many occasions.

-Ser Aymeric: Depending on the route, he would be Lyllyan's Lover and he tries to protect her when he can, be it politics or in war. He has a dream to journey with her, and though he can't do so with Lylyan Weiss the Au Ra, there is nothing saying he can't make a character and become a Warrior of Light himself and travel with Sakura Yue(Lyllyan's Alt).

-Zenos Yae Galvus: So this guy commits Seppuku and then shows up at Lyllyan's job as her new Bartender. They end up becoming friends through the job, and the fact that Zenos is bored out of his mind that he can't go kill people,but finding out later that he is back makes Square Enix themselves worried about this guy.

-Estinien: Lyllyan had adopted him as her Edgy Son. He hates it. He reminds her that he is older than him, and she retorts about beating him as a Lalafel. He usually starts brooding after that on a high building that usually takes Alphinaud and Ser Aymeric to get him down.

•I'm only stopping this cause there are so many more characters!!!

Q9:WHAT GIVES YOU INSPIRATION TO WRITE YOUR MUSE?

•Music and Playing Final Fantasy. Mainly XIV, but others do count too, but also reading all the other fanfiction and comics about final fantasy XIV.

Q10: HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE YOU TO COMPLETE?

About...4 hours? Maybe more? My hands definitely hurt from all the typing! XD

while I'm ranting about DC I'm gonna say I don't think WW84 was that bad. It was actually almost exactly what I wanted from a Wonder Woman sequel--it felt like the story naturally moved forward from the events of the first movie but with a different cohesive theme, of loss and disappointment and coping with them. It gave closure to the first movie.

1. A lot of people get pissy that Diana hasn't gotten over Steve by 1984. I don't have a problem with this. It's been presumably around 60 some years since Steve died. People can stay in love with someone for 60 years as evidenced by long-standing marriages. Diana is also a baby immortal and thus the time jump is probably more like maybe 10 or 20 years from her perspective. And, the biggest thing about it, he died tragically and she never told him she loved him. He told her, she never got a chance to tell him. And even if you didn't necessarily make it about them being in love, they were friends, they had this connection, it turned into love, and then he was dead and gone. It makes sense for her to be hung up on him. He was literally the first man she ever met.

2. I don't get why anyone feels like the movie is 'cruel' for painting this picture of 'you can have anything you want but there's a cost that is greater than the thing you want.' Imagine a world where you could literally have anything you want, where anybody could literally have anything they want. That is a very horrifying and serious picture when you realize what some people are like, and also realize the weaknesses and flaws you yourself have. I don't find it cruel at all that the movie's central thesis is 'sometimes you have to give up on the thing you want most for the greater good, and it is brave and heroic in the right cases to do so.'

3. I really like that they let Steve stay dead. He doesn't magically come back for good, he did sacrifice himself, he did die in 1918, he did give up a life with Diana & his life in general to save people. His sacrifice is not invalidated. Instead it is gently rewarded with his getting a chance to see the future he helped protect, and given the chance to see Diana again, if only to say goodbye for real and get closure.

With all this said, the big elephant in the room pisses me off even more because there was an incredibly easy way to write around it.

Write the scene at the party where Diana has already wished for Steve to come back but doesn't know it's actually worked. You could have her spot someone who looks like him in the distance, and the magic stone and everything has her wondering, could it be? Is it possible? She calls his name and tries to catch up with him at the party only to realize it's not him, just someone who from behind looks vaguely like him. She can apologize, tell him she thought he was someone else. He's a little confused but turns to go. Then from behind her, there's real Steve. Reunion goes down the same. The magic rock just brought Steve back. He doesn't have to inhabit anyone else's body.

Then, come the ending, she can see the guy she mistook for Steve again and they can leave a relationship possibility between them open-ended. Bingo, the whole thing is fixed, you can stop damning an otherwise good movie with that one weird scene I can't believe Patty Jenkins didn't see any issues with.

Honestly DC needs to give the fuck up on having a franchise like marvel. They've never been good at it and they're never gonna be good at it. They've been chasing that high since Man of Steel and they need to stop. The only reason they've gone from godawful to actually decent nowadays is probably by accident but it was because they stopped trying to make something cohesive and instead gave the characters to people who loved them and had good ideas for them. Even if say, Wonder Woman or Aquaman were not masterpieces, they're watchable, enjoyable standalone projects with good characters. That's what I want out of DC. Maybe sometimes you'll get lucky and get a masterpiece like The Batman. But if you don't, that's okay too. I don't wanna have to watch 3 billion movies and series to get to something I think I'll like that winds up disappointing me anyway. I wanna watch a fun/thought-provoking, well done story about a character I like. That's it. It's a movie. Chill out.
