meeting your boyfriend’s parents

arda güler x turkish! reader

A/N: based on this request, thank uu 🤍 my first arda fic!!

W/C: 2.175 (yes, I got ahead of myself)

"is this too much?"

you ask yourself, thoroughly examining your outfit in the mirror. you run your hands down the soft fabric, grunting in indecisiveness.

turning around, you're greeted by a huge pile of clothes on your bed. a combination of dresses, jeans and shirts crumpled up from the way you'd thrown them behind you, after trying them on.

jeans with a sweater, too hot.

a pair of trousers with a blouse, too formal.

a skirt with a cropped top, too much skin showing for a first meeting with your boyfriend's parents.

the weather was becoming warmer these days, so you also had to keep the fabric and thickness of the clothes in mind.

"fuck this.." you mumble, sitting on your bed, the clothes barely allowing you to see you pink bedding. you lay down, the clothes becoming your soft pillow, apart from the buttons on the items, digging into your neck and the back of your head.

you and arda have been together for a few months now. you had gotten acquainted with him through mutual friends when he had just transferred to real madrid.

at first, you were a little nervous, meeting new people was exactly your thing. though, your friends had convinced you to meet him, only due to the shared background you both had.

since arda was born, he'd never lived anywhere else other than türkiye. born and raised partially in the capital, ankara. only to move to istanbul to play at his childhood dream club, fenerbahçe.

the years had gone by fast, and when a huge opportunity came, he finally decided it was time for him to leave and move onto one of the biggest clubs in the world.

you had met arda at a small gathering, specifically a surprise birthday party you attend for one of your close friends. 

the night was full of fun games, karaoke, and the best of all the multiple 'halay' dance routines.

you'd found arda to be a very sweet person, the second you met him. the way he so gently shook your hand, and gave you the prettiest smile you'd ever seen on a boy, had you mesmerized instantly.

obviously, you knew who he was before you met him. it was unavoidable to not know who 'arda güler' was, especially as a turkish person.

growing up around adults who watched and played football religiously, you were definitely aware of the debate.

which football club is türkiye's biggest and best?

was it the 'lion's', galatasaray, who had won the league last year? or was it the 'yellow canaries', fenerbahçe, who were first on the 'Süper Lig's all-time table'?

some would even nominate the 'black eagles', beşiktaş as candidates.

since all three of these clubs are based in the eurasian city of istanbul, derbys were an absolute show every time.

the excitement, the nerves, the turkish anger issues revealing themselves when someone gets fouled, or the thrill of seeing players of the opposite team fight each other, after a highly emotional match at full-time.

to see arda right in front of you, after seeing him on tv all the time was incredibly weird. but, you got used to it fairly quickly after seeing how humble and kind he was to everyone around him, whether he knew them or not..

you rub your nose with your fingers, eyes itching from the amount of dust in your room. you pause your movements for a second, sniffing softly and looking at the sun shining through your window.

the combined actions finally allow you to sneeze, and you don't waste time before you stand up to and go open your windows.

you were supposed to be picked up in an hour, so you had to hurry up and choose something to wear.

you had already texted your friends asking for advice on how you should dress. it didn't help much though, because whatever they said you should wear, you'd change your mind about it last minute. finding an issue with the clothing items, and then having to chuck more clothes on your bed as you rummaged through your closet.

your mind becomes busy with getting distracted by the beautiful weather outside, and the neighborhood children playing and laughing together.

though, you immediately whip your head around when your phone goes off. processing and realizing the ringtone, the one you had specifically set for arda, you walk over.

you sigh in irritation as you look around for your phone, finally catching a glimpse of the white case, from underneath a single black sock.

you're entire demeanor shifts when you read the caller id, smiling to yourself when you pick up. propping the phone in position, against the alarm clock on your nightstand, so he can see you properly.

"aşkım?" (my love) he says, the sweet nickname falling off his lips. his phone incredibly close to his face, as he shifts and moves, from what you can see, his car.

"arda, why did you call?" you question, grinning when you can finally see his full face. he moves his arm, playing with his hair as he smiles back.

"just finished training, showered and I'm coming over right now.."

"right now?" you panic, pointing downwards with your finger to confirm. "right now? but I'm not ready yet- and you said be ready by 5:45.." you blurt, already getting up to your feet, eyes flickering around the room as you forget he's on the phone for a moment.

"hey, calm down.. we have a lot of time, I just thought I'd come over since I know you're nervous.."

you look back at the screen, brows furrowing in confusion.

"that’s very sweet, but you just gave me a heart attack.."

"I'm almost at your place, canım. (my life) don't worry.."

you nod back, your heart calming down slowly.

"I don't know what to wear.." you say, running a hand over your face.

"I'll help you, I'll be over in a minute.."

"okay.." you mumble, waving quickly before telling him you'll hang up and wait until he arrives.

your thoughts are interrupted by an annoying yell and then a scoff.

"y/n! the footballer is here!"

you chuckle at your brother's voice, it's undeniably funny how much he liked galatasaray. even though arda had almost transferred to real madrid months ago, from fenerbahçe, your younger brother had vowed not to like him ever since he heard about you two.

well, he did cave when you asked him if he'd come along to some real madrid matches..

"I'm coming.." you shout back, jumping when you come across your brother. he scoffs at you, hurriedly stomping up the stairs to probably bother your older brother.

"arda?" you question, smiling when you notice him in the living room. he looks up immediately, walking up to bring you into a tight hug.

"I've missed you, tatlım.." (my sweetie) he whispers against your ear, pressing a soft kiss to your temple.

you look at him, grinning from ear to ear. you hadn't seen him since he had left for an important match in a different country, so it was practically your catch up dinner too.

"I missed you too.." you reply, planting a kiss to his cheek. without waiting for him to say anything else, you drag him towards your bedroom, showing him the disaster.

"did a tornado visit your room, and should I be concerned?" he asks, squinting at the pile of clothes.

"I don't know what to wear.." you groan, throwing yourself onto your bed.

you watch arda walk closer, his hands reaching out to grab a slightly wrinkled floral blue dress.

"this one." he firmly states, turning around to grab a pair of white kitten heels from your shoe rack.

"and this.." he says, presenting the two items like a football shirt.

muscle memory, you guess.

you sit up, fixing your posture as you analyze the combination.

"that's not too much?" you ask, getting some hope.

"what do you mean? this is perfect, my parents would love it.."

he watches your unsure expression, placing the dress on your bed and the shoes on the floor.

"try it on for me, okay?" he asks, nudging your chin up, so he can look you in the eyes.

"I'll wait for you in the living room, maybe b/n will join me.."

minutes pass, and you've pulled the dress on successfully. fidgeting with the fabric, you smile, starting to feel satisfied. already thinking of what jewelry and other accessories you'll style the dress with.

hurrying up, you walk into the living room, surprised when you can actually see both your brothers sitting with your boyfriend. and it didn't look like either of them had said anything crazy to arda.

they looked, strangely happy and relaxed..

"what do you think?" you ask, raising your brows at the three boys.

you're bombarded by compliments, and almost gawk as your older brother calls you 'pretty'.

had arda replaced him with other person while you were getting dressed?

without much more thinking, you run back to your room. pulling on the rest of your accessories and fixing your appearance.

"I'm more scared of meeting your sister, than meeting your parents.." you confess, playing with the ring on arda's finger, looking up at where the driver is taking you.

"my sister's not going to kill you.." he chuckles, looking down at your intertwined fingers.

"still.."

you've heard the horror stories. girl's meeting their 'sister-in-law', only to find out how incredibly mean and protective they are about their younger brother.

deep inside, you knew his sister would be nice. he'd told you so many times about her wish of wanting to meet you.

it was just scary to meet three new people at once. especially those closest to your boyfriend. you had to get along, no questions asked.

you fidget with the bouquet of flowers in your hand. other hand intertwined with arda's, as you waited for his family to open the front door.

"hoşgeldiniz.." hearing the welcoming greeting in turkish you immediately tense up. arda seems to notice, looking at you and squeezing your hand reassuringly, before you step in.

you try to smile when you make eye contact with his mother, her loving arms coming to wrap around you. you greet each other with two, traditional kisses on each cheek, the worries in your heart slowly melting away.

you hand the flowers to her, and watch as the smile on her grow, an exact replica of your boyfriend’s smile..

you watch as arda hands his sister the gift bag in his hand, a kilogram of baklava.

you almost drool at the thought of having the dessert with a cup of turkish tea, but stop yourself before you get ahead of yourself.

it doesn't take long before you're all seated at the dinner table. having greeted all three of his family members with a lot of affection.

the atmosphere was friendly, warmer than you had dreamt of. but, you should've expected it, especially with how loving and caring your boyfriend is.

you admire all the different types of food prepared for dinner. eyes catching on the 'manti' you, oh-so- loved. you could describe them as little dumplings, instead of soup they were mixed in with yogurt, a sauce of tomato paste, and a lot of spices.

with how small they looked, you could guess it took a long time to make. not to forget, the other types of food. 'mercimek soup', 'olive-leaf sarma', and a colorful 'çoban' salad to refresh your palate.

you almost drooled at just the sight of the delicious array of food, and the way it tasted was a million times better.

"so, what city are your parents from?" arda's dad asks, the insanely predictable question every uncle asks when they notice you're turkish. only to magically always know your dad in some way or another.

"my mother is from c/n, and my father is from c/n.." you answer, making sure you answer with the perfect pronunciation.

"oh, back when I was younger- around arda’s age. I worked in c/n. we had worked hard for our bread and butter, sending money to the family was the most important thing back then.."

and without noticing, you'd passed the 'meeting my boyfriend's family test'.

only, because everyone at the table started complaining loudly, comfortable enough with you, already- to act like that. indicating they had all heard the story he was going to tell, a million times before.

you chuckle, smile pulling on your lips, as you feel arda's hand slip onto yours. his palm resting on the back of your hand, as he pats it reassuringly.

you glance at your boyfriend, his boxy smile showing, as he calms you down.

"don't listen to him, or he'll talk your ear off, y/n. let's talk about something else.." his sister chimes in, leaning forward to ask you something to save you from the talk.

this could definitely become something you could get used to..

It's gonna sound silly if you don't have any but if you do, random batfam headcanons (especially steph, cass, duke, tim, damian) GO

Not silly at all, I don’t have many but you’ll probably see when you’re done reading this that I have more for certain members than others 😭

Steph: she has freckles like totally sunkissed freckles that scatter all across her body. I feel like she tans but has more of a rosy tan instead of a deeper color. She loves children, because well…but anyways I think she would dye her hair and have tinsel in them for a sparkle or a hint of color. Roller derby. I loveee to headcanon that she’s amazing at it and enjoys the sport. Oh and piercings I love to think that she wears tons of chunky jewelry. Has big curly hair that she didn’t know how to take care of when she was younger. Loves hanging out with Barbara and sneaking into Kates place to bother her or ask for advice.

Cass: I know it’s canon but she loves to do ballet. She loves to spar with her siblings especially the younger ones because she likes to share her skills and teach them what she knows in a healthier way than she was taught. Wears Chinese tunics that are gifted from her mother. Wears a mixed of gold and silver jewelry. Goes to therapy…can’t cook like at all it astounds her how a simply thing can be hard. Knits 😭 or does some sort of craft like knitting or pottery.

Tim: uses a silly straw when drinking his energy drinks (he isn’t a coffee addict yall) he listens to all sorts of music and has a messed up playlist. He can sit and work on something without moving for hours (couldn’t be me) I don’t think he’s a party person sorry but I don’t know if he does the entire party scene, but he LOVES having friends over and then partying with them. Skate boards to work 😭

Duke: he is the most cunning in a way. His favorite color isnt even yellow 😭 I’m kidding but that would be funny. The criminals are afraid of him they see him coming in the day??? Oh hell no. He can play the piano and is very good at it. Him and his mother used to teach him. He can cook and he cooks with Damian, he was the one who initiated it. He’s extremely extremely respectful to woman. He likes watching old western movies when he was little he was a cowboy for Halloween. Has locks and teaches his family (the ones with curls) ways to keep their hair healthy. He collects playing card but like yugioh cards and other stuff like that, he loves sailor moon and old 90s anime.

Damian: he can sing very well 😭 idk why but if he can mimic voices perfectly I feel like he can sing. When he has an argument with Bruce or anyone in the family he will leave and fly away with Goliath or Wiggles, sometimes even having them “attack” said family member but it’s only like them flopping on the person. Had a pet tiger in the league (it was Talia’s) and played with the cubs. Since his hair is getting longer I want to say that Nika or a friend gets him claw clips as a joke but he actually wears them. He can play instruments and likes to do graffiti sometimes. Wears ONLY gold jewelry. He has matching outfits with him and Talia 😭 if he gets into a relationship he’s not the one breaking up with them because he loves HARD. And like Duke he pulls his hair and when he lets others do it for him it’s like a great achievement 😭😭

Jason: he’s a loser. I mean it I think he’s so recluse and likes to huddle into the library and read. He’s big hulking even and loves to use that to his advantage when he’s being annoying to his siblings by lying on them. Struggles to find clothes his size so he wears the ugliest lounge clothes. Loves reality tv or any cheesy movie.

Dick: grows his hair out and every time he does a sudden chop the family looks at him with fear and disgust like how children do when their father shaves their face 😭 HE CAN COOK I know he can cook. Also wears chunky jewelry but doesn’t have a set style. Watches old footage of him and his parents acts and cries everytime. Visits zitka. I like to think he still performs on his down time or at least practice and keeps up the skill of being an acrobatic performer.

I hope that was good! Sorry for the ugly grammar I’m rapid firing this. 😭

derby and dahlia hcs (twins of mass destruction

OHMYGAAAAAAAAAAAJ i hate these bitches so bad i wanna freeze them and chip away at them with a chisel like ice sculptures

HARRINGTON TWINS HCS

These two are… well. They’re fucking awful. Both of them are equally as abhorrent as each other, they just go about it in slightly different ways. Derby is more snide and cutting with his remarks, he has to take great care with what he says because of his heir status. Dahlia is more obviously a massive bitch- she’s catty and rude directly to your face.

They’re at each other’s throats a lot, their father encourages competition between them, it keeps them busy and out of his office. The main game the twins play is ‘who can get who kicked out of the will faster’. It’s quite exhilarating, for them anyway. Their father hates it… it’s understandable, Mr Harrington has to choose between thot daughter or gay son to run his oil company, very difficult.

Contrary to popular belief, they’re actually more dangerous when they’re together. They don’t see eye to eye very often so when they do… run, hide and pray to whatever god you believe in. As young children, they were much more in sync, talking at the same time, matching each other’s strides. Now as young adults, they aren’t around each other so much, so aren’t quite as synced. Once they start getting friendly with each other, sound the alarms because the shining twins are back in business.

Dahlia doesn’t approve of Derby’s betrothal to Pinky because she thinks she’s far too good for him. She’s their best cousin and to see her wasted on her brother is a travesty. Derby, in turn, doesn’t agree with Dahlia’s betrothal to Tad because he thinks he’s ugly. They’re both equally as mean to each other about it.

They both a good amount of time planning their outfits, usually together. As kids they were matching constantly, their mother refused to buy anything that the twins couldn’t match in. Even as teenagers, up until about their early 20’s, they kept their parents happy by matching colours at galas and social events. Much to Dahlia’s chagrin, Derby is the one that picks the colours and he goes out of his was to pick ones that are highly unflattering on her.

Both twins have their initials on everything they own: robes, hairbrushes, handkerchiefs, cutlery ect. This would be helpful if they…. didn’t have the same initials. They have actually gotten into physical fights over which soup spoon belongs to which twin, and they fight dirty, ripping out earrings, pulling hair. It’s like watching feral animals fight in an alleyway.

Luckily, they don’t see each other all that often. Derby has a tight reign on him because he’s going to inherit the company. Dahlia is free to go wherever, so she’s usually off partying in Europe, getting run through like a freight train. They’re not exactly cordial when she gets back either “Derby! You’ve gotten fat” “Blonde haired sister, you continue to exist”

Ruben Dias/Trent Alexander Arnold x Reader - Dark Rivarly Part 8/15

What a perfect day to release a chapter hahaha. 🤣 It's derby day between Man City and Liverpool and with the beef going on between Trent and the team my story becomes more and more unrealistic, or what do you think? 🤔

Could Trent ever make peace with somone like Ruben? Let alone allow Ruben to date his sister?

Part 9 and 10 are already out on my Patreon!

Reader is Trent Alexander Arnold's twin sister. The two have been inseparable since childbirth, more so now when Reader is fresh out of university looking for a job, crashing at her brother's place whilst doing so. One day Reader gets a job offer that she cannot refuse, however it would mean working for her brother's biggest rival in football, Ruben Dias.

Enjoy!

"These are actually pretty good."

"Really?" You perked up where you sat on the sofa in Ruben's hotel room. He was sitting next to you.

"Yes and the press seems to love the outfit you choose for Ruben, look."

Miranda turned her Ipad around, showing you the published images of Ruben, wearing the outfit you had picked out for him.

"I'll admit that I had my doubts at first, but the reviews have all been great. Good job Y/N."

"Um, thank you Miranda." A complement from her felt like a lifetime achievement.

"I'm gonna call the photographer that took these and see if he can send me the negatives. We might be able to use them on Instagram to summarize the weekend. Miranda left the room to make the call, leaving you alone with Ruben, who had barely acknowledged you this morning.

"I better pack my bags." You said, rising from the sofa. Ruben however, refused to move his legs out of the way to let you pass.

"Excuse me?" You groaned. It wasn't funny, neither of you were laughing. "Ruben?"

His legs wouldn't budge, and you were getting agitated. "What the he'll are you doing, move your..."

Ruben drew back his legs just as you were about to swing at them with your own. This caused you to stumble forwards, almost tripping yourself.

"What was that for?" You frowned.

Ruben's expression was emotionless as he stood, and for the first time the height difference between you was intimidating.

"I...I just wanted to go to my room and pack my bags." You stuttered.

Ruben exhaled. "We need to talk first."

"Talk about what exactly?" You crossed your arms.

"The way you left me last night, it was unprofessional." He said.

"Ruben, I told you that I came down with something." Which was a lie, but it was the best one you could come up with on such short notice.

"And what exactly was it that you came down with?" He asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you seemed fine when you left my side at the party. What made you suddenly wanna run off Y/N?"

"Ruben, for the third time, I wasn't running,  I just needed to get back to the hotel and lie down."

"So that's where you did it?"

"Did what?" You frowned, his tone spiteful to you.

Ruben shifted in his stance, crossing one arm over the other. "Y/N, I expect you to take your job seriously. For you to then run off with some guy...."

"I didn't run off with some guy."

"Don't lie to me Y/N, John saw you!"

The echoes of his words bounced off the walls. The room fell silent.

Ruben's eyes searched your face, he was angry and wanted answers, rightfully so. "Who is he Y/N, an old flame from your university days?"

"Ruben."

"No." He shook his head. "Don't tell me. It's none of my business." He walked over to the windows, running a hand through his hair.

"Ruben, it's not what it looks like. That guy, he is my...."

"Just know if you ever pull something like that on me again...." He said, slowly turning to you. "I won't be giving you any second chances, understood? Do your job from now on or the next time you're fired."

"There. The photographer gave me the thumbs up. He'll be sending me the...." Miranda stumbled into the room but paused at the sight of you and Ruben. "Everything alright?"

You were staring blankly at each other, something heavy forming in the base of your throat. Your voice shook when you spoke. "I have to pack my bags." You said and ran off into your room, gasping for air once you stood behind closed doors. You were gasping for air from the unstoppable flood of tears.

You were considering your life choices on the journey back to London. What if you just moved aboard and started a new life in some foreign country? No one would know you and you wouldn't have to lie about who you were. You'd be nothing and therefore be someone.

"Y/N! You're back early."

You stepped into Grandma's shop carrying your suitcases. You had forgotten your keys to her apartment but was glad to be welcomed by Jennifer at the front desk. However, her initial joy of seeing you quickly faded. "Oh my god, you're soaking wet. Is it pouring outside?"

"Just a drizzle." You murmured, as she rounded her desk to help usher you inside. "Is my grandma here? I forgot my keys."

"She's in her office, sorting out a golden suit. You won't guess who it's for." She giggled.

"Trent."

Her smile withered. "How did you know?"

You removed your soaked coat. Your shirt beneath had also been ruined.

"Oh my god, tell me about your weekend." She gasped. "London Fashion Week, was it as exciting as they make it to be? And your boss, was she happy with your work?"

"He." You corrected.

"What?"

"My boss is a he, and no he wasn't happy with my work."

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry Y/N. Is he high maintenance when it comes to fashion?"

"No, he's just a fucking dickhead."

"Language."

Grandma walked into the room, pinching a dozen sewing needles between her teeth.

"But he is a dickhead Grandma. And I don't care anymore, I'm not going back to work for him."

Grandma spat out the needles in her mouth, all the pins dropping soundless to the floor. "Well you're not coming back to work for me!"

"But where else am I supposed to go?"

"Home. To your mother, and tell her she's failed to raise her children."

"Ha ha, very funny."

"I'm serious Y/N, you're not staying with me. I'm getting tired of your tardiness, not to mention that furball you've got running around my apartment."

"What does Whiskey Jr, have to do with any of this?"

"He stinks, just like your attitude towards authority."

"I don't have an attitude towards authority. "

The bell above the front door rang in the distance. "Guys?"

"No, tell that to your current boss. I've overheard you talking, I bet he's done with your tardiness as well."

"Hey, guys?"

"What are you talking about Grandma, you don't even know my boss and if you did you would agree that he is a fucking piece of...."

"Y/N, please!"

Your argument with grandma was interrupted by Jenny's objections. She stood by the shop entrance, greeting the customer that had stepped through the door. He was soaked with rainwater from head to toe.

"You have a new client." She said, cheeks as red as they come. You on the other hand, couldn't find the words to speak and so grandma stepped in. "Can I help you sir, we're not open for much longer."

Ruben stepped forward.  "No....I mean yes. I want to speak to Y/N."

"My granddaughter?" She frowned. "And who might you be, young man?"

You shook your head as Ruben met your eyes. However he went ahead anyway. "I'm Ruben, Ruben Dias, her boss."

"Oh. My. Days!"

You saw Jenny bouncing up and down in the  corner of your eye.

"There's no way." She squealed. "There is no fucking way."

"Jenny please." You groaned, begging her to spare Grandma who hadn't been as quick to put two and two together.

"Your boss is Ruben Dias? Of all people." Jenny was clearly overjoyed by the drama unfolding before her. "Y/N, you're basically working for the enemy."

"Please don't be so dramatic". You sighed.

"Does Trent know? He's got to know, right?"

"Trent?"

You looked to Ruben as the name escaped his lips. His eyebrows furrowed. "Is that who you were with in London? Is that the name of your boyfriend, Trent?"

"Ha!" Jenny snorted, slapping a hand against her mouth. "You ran into Trent in London? Oh the drama. I can't."

"For fuck sakes Jenny!"

"Y/N!" The room fell quiet as Grandma's voice rose above all. "Language."

"But grandma..."

"No buts." She said, forcing your silence. "Now." She stepped up to Ruben, examining him. "This young man. Your boss? He has come here to speak to you, let's hear what he has to say."

It was a nightmare come true. Even Ruben seemed a bit taken aback by Grandma's demeanor. However he did gather the courage to address you as if you were the only two people in the room.

"I came here to apologize." He said. "For being a dickhead to you this morning."

Jenny snorted somewhere behind you,  however grandma shot her a glance that made her fall back.

"You have the right to do and see whoever you want. I was just jealous and upset that you chose to do so on the night of my friend's gallery opening. For some reason I really believed that the two of us were...."

"No way." Jenny gasped, once again interrupting you. "You're fucking him too?"

"Oh for the love of..." You grabbed Ruben's arm, pulling him aside, into Grandma's office in the back room. There the two of you were left alone, however this game was getting old, the game of Ruben hurting you then crawling back, begging you to forgive him.

"There's something you should know about me." You said, wanting to get it over with. Ready to get it over with.

"Alright." Ruben nodded. "Tell me."

It was now or never.

"That guy your friend saw me with last night wasn't my boyfriend, or an old flame from my university days."

"No, who was he then?"

Another one bites the dust, you thought. Telling the truth meant that you were going to lose Ruben, just like the truth made you lose your old friends. You sighed before you spoke.  "He is my brother Ruben, my twin brother."

"Oh, okay." There were clear signs of relief coming across Ruben's face, a slight twitch in the corner of his lips.

"His name is Trent, Trent Alexander Arnold. You might recognize the name since..."

"Wait." His expression went stiff again, carved by a deep frown. "Did you say Trent Alexander Arnold? As in..."

You nodded. "Yes, THE Trent Alexander Arnold. Liverpool's right back, however you might know him better as the guy that got booked for trying to punch you out the last time Man City played Liverpool."

Ruben's snort was unexpected. "Tried to, is the right word for what he did."

It made you gasp, as well as playfully nudge his arm. "I'm being serious."

"Trust me Y/N, I'm also trying to be serious. So you're telling me you're related to Trent Alexander Arnold, your twin brother to be exact?"

"Yes. I'm the oldest, if you must know."

Ruben's bright eyes searched your face. But it was unclear to you what had suddenly lightened his mood.

"Is this the reason?" He asked."

"What reason?"

"Why don't you want to be with me? Because of who your brother is. My "rival" in the football world?"

"Well that and the fact that you are my employer which would label our relationship as highly inappropriate."

"Yes, but it's mainly because of your brother, no? You worry about what he will think of you, of us. It's why you had him take you home the other night,  because you didn't want the two of us to meet, no?"

You nodded. "He doesn't know that I'm your stylist. And I don't think that I want him to. The truth would send him through the roof." You still wondered why it hadn't sent Ruben through the roof,  what was his angle?

"Y/N, I don't give a fuck about who your brother is?" He said this in a way that shook your core. Ruben then stepped forward, grabbing your face between his hands, tilting your head upwards. "Can we stop pretending that what we have between us isn't real?" He chuckled. "Can you just accept the fact that I want you and you want me Y/N?"

"You want me to run into your arms?"

He frowned. "What?"

"Like the girl in the painting." You smiled. "He's waiting for her to run into his arms."

"Yes." Ruben nodded. "Exactly. Come to me, run into my arms."

You crashed into his lips instead, with Ruben initiating it by pulling your face towards his. Just like that you we're back to square one, the game between you having stepped into a second round. And the next round was guaranteed to involve less tears and more fistfights.

Sophie has the need to be helpful to others, which can be troublesome to her by turning into a situation where she takes on tasks she might not be able to do.

She has a determined spirit even if she screws up, she just tells herself to take note of the mistake and try again no matter how embarrassed she may be. A hard worker who has the drive to succeed.

When she doesn’t know what the topic others are talking about, she just stuffs some food in her face or tries not to be noticed so it prevents people from including her until they talk about a topic she is familiar with.

She doesn’t want to say she doesn’t know. She has to cling to her pride as a royal even for a bit. It’s a struggle of not wanting to look stupid yet she doesn’t know what else to do at this point.

There are times when she mumbles and ends up walking while doing so. Oftentimes she ends up somewhere else and she’ll only realize it when she’s finished mumbling her thoughts.

Has the tendency to fumble around with her amulet when she’s nervous or deep in thought.

Whenever she’s too busy to eat she will always go have some snacks while she’s doing her task. Doesn’t matter where or what, she has a form of snack to munch on, be it candy or a small packet of nuts.

Hometown: Kingdom of Enchantis

Family History

Sophie is the daughter of the Queen Meredith. The sole ruler of her home kingdom, Enchantis, and she is next in line for the throne. Though her future is set in stone, her mother always made time for her and was very involved in her royal education.

Her kingdom is called, Enchantis, a castle built on a large island surrounded by other large islands where villages and towns are built. She has step siblings who are twins. She was very welcoming to her new family members though she has to constantly remind her step-brother that being royalty comes with responsibility.

Her kingdom houses plenty of artifacts that are very old, one of them was a magical amulet that could grant powers to anyone who wears it. The amulet is now in Sophie’s possession and she promises her mother that she will guard it responsibly.

Sophie didn’t expect her mother to remarry, and to a commoner of all people. She was surprised when her mother told her about marrying the man named, Ryland. Sophie supported her mother’s new love while the council voiced their objection.

Despite the council’s arguments, Meredith and Ryland got married and he becomes the new king. Though the newlyweds decided to let Meredith rule as she always did while Ryland takes care of the smaller tasks like hosting events and charities.

As for Ryland’s children, Jemma and Amir, they were announced as the new prince and princess alongside their father. Amir was ecstatic in his new life as he always dreamed what it would be like to live in the palace. While Jemma was a bit hesitant and anxious since she might be forced to behave a certain way and thinks that the nobles would look down on them.

Sophie, being the helpful girl, assisted in her new siblings’ adjustment to the palace. Constantly reminding Amir that though it is luxurious it comes with a responsibility and would always remind him to not let the wealth and power shape his identity.

As for Jemma, Sophie would cover for her when she slips up during fancy parties. Though Sophie doesn’t know what life is like as a commoner, she can understand the feeling of not wanting to leave the life you’re familiar with.

As for Ryland, he was just as nervous as Sophie was in terms of trying to get along. They overthink about what to say or how to behave around the other. By the time they both realized they were fretting over nothing they had a good laugh. The step father was actually a nice guy who shares the open-mindedness like her mother.

Though when her father needs help organizing events, Sophie is there to provide her opinion on what the latest trends are. Ryland is thankful for her help.

Overall, the new family members are slowly adjusting to the new life as royals and Sophie finally has more company when her mother was too busy.

Childhood Memories

Sophie remembers her mother would show her old journals of an ex-royal who left the kingdom to discover the outside world. It was forbidden by the council to possess any outside knowledge, but Sophie’s mother thought it was harmless. So, the queen lets Sophie read the journal in secret.

This gave Sophie this wonder of what the world would be like if she were to leave the kingdom one day. A part of her is hesitant to speak up about her want to see what’s beyond the kingdom. due to the council’s insistence.

And when her step family moved in, she had quite the shock at trying to handle two twins who are such polar opposites. There may be some disagreements, but they are close as family could be.

She is diligent and hopeful, never gives up on a task until it is done. Though she needs to learn how to lean onto others for support when she needs it. During the first few weeks of the school, Filly and the other animals were the only ones she’d talk to. Hopefully she’d talk and make friends with the other students.

The first few months have had her frozen in shock. Like the floating teapots that were rioting at the time. The explosion of glitter from one of Ella’s creative process. The monkeys who nearly stole her necklace when she went to Magiaoasis and even the brawl between teachers and the students secretly betting on said teachers.

Her face was just frozen into perpetual terror at the sight.

She currently has a hard time trying to adjust to a lot of culture shock. It may be hard, but she’s trying at least…

Filly

She is a cocker spaniel with pink ears and tail, with pinkish white fur. She was given to Sophie as a childhood present and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Filly often helps Sophie out whenever she feels troubled. If Sophie isn’t able to say what she needs to then Filly does it for her with a loud bark.

Filly has a love for ribbons because Sophie would always have a box of ribbons ready for her. The dog is quite touchy about anyone trying to touch her precious ribbons.

Zenius

He is a Pegasus in Enchantis who was given to Sophie in her 12th birthday and she raised him as her flying companion for the kingdom’s derby racing.

Zenius is eager to race to the skies but he tends to be quite bashful towards onlookers which sometimes cuts his focus. Which often led him to falling from of the sky mid-flight.

Despite his bumbling mistakes, Sophie still cherishes him as her friend and racing horse. He wasn’t brought to DCA until a few months into the semester because he was getting anxious.

Sophie has no unique magic yet.

As for magical skills, she has a decent amount of magic meant for daily life such as levitation spells and repair spells.

The spell Sophie likes to use the most are spells that soothe her nerves. They come out as little lilac flowers that float around her head and dissolve. Its what helps her step-siblings calm down or when she’s having trouble thinking straight due to the stress.

As for combat, she only knows defensive spells as well as average dispelling for curses. Anything that involves direct combat is beyond her capabilities.

She has a telepathic connection to her amulet called, Avaloria.

Meredith Fascinare

The queen and mother of Sophie, she is a benevolent ruler who is more open-minded than the council, she always jokes with Sophie that she thinks they’re always so grumpy they might end up looking like trolls. She is calm and patient with others and would always hear out both sides before speaking her opinion.

Ryland Fascinare

The step-father of Sophie who used to work as a jeweler in a small village. It wasn’t until he was asked to present a gift for the queen along with the other citizens that he fell for the queen at first sight. He is a jolly man who always finds amusement in everything, he is a bit shy with having to be taught the etiquette by Sophie and the queen, but he tries his best to adjust.

Jemma Fascinare (12)

The younger twin who likes to run around and play knight with the other boys back at the village. She finds being royalty a bit difficult but she tries her best when she sees Sophie trying hard too. She dreams of becoming a knight one day.

Amir Fascinare (12)

The older twin easily adjusted to the palace life. He tries to follow Sophie’s lead though he fumbles a lot due to being unfamiliar with the etiquette. But Sophie is always there to make sure he gets it right and guides him along the way.

The character’s name, “Sophie” is a variation of the name she was twisted from which is Sofia from Sofia the first. Her last name, “Fascinare”, is from the word fascinating. There is no other reason the artist used this name other than to make it sound fancy enough for royalty.

Sophie was going to have several abilities after every overblot was resolved much like how Sofia gains more abilities in her amulet like being able to shrink or turn into any animal she sees. But the artist is still brainstorming this idea.

The artist also wanted to make Sophie’s story in the future be a variation of Overblot since they want to make an antagonist that will be her adversary. (this part is still being brainstormed)

Second headcanon from the discord archives but this one specifically feels like it would be relevant to @orbitalpirate who I only discovered/followed like 5 minutes ago but still here is a crack headcanon for your Jan/Richard needs:

Jamie reads about a fancy event that serves great hors d’evuors, but he misunderstands and thinks that some French twat is having a big gala over his horses getting a divorce and tells every player on the team about this wild, can’t-miss event. Not one person questions it. Everyone is hype for this weird ass rich equestrian divorce proceeding and are going all out buying ridiculous Kentucky-derby style outfits to go and cheer on these ponies to get a good custody deal for any foals. There are bets going on over how the assets will be split between the feuding couple. Jan Maas and Richard both stay silent about the clear mistranslation, until the eve of the party when everyone else arrives looking confused and pretty much causing unfathomable chaos trying to get a look at the horses that are not there. Jan and Richard just meet eyes, go off together, and Jan asks with a smirk, “Who do we think will figure it out first?”

Richard leans against him with an easy laugh, and admits, “I was sure Van Damme would have realized it on his own by now, but he seems very keen to locate the proceedings.”

(This is the night they get together, and When Jan and Richard get married they send invitations inviting the team to their ‘Hors Marriage’.)

soul eater gender HCs

Maka: being AFAB does not make you weak, identifying as a woman does not make you weak. cis girl who can wreck your shit, and Soul's, too

Soul: cis boy who is comfortable enough in his masculinity that he doesn't feel like he has to "perform" to live up to it. he likes hotrod cars and demolition derbies, and also paints his nails to match Maka's and wears an apron while cooking so his clothes doesn't get dirty.

Crona: the NB of all time. sapphic AFAB who, when they say "I don't know how to talk to girls," literally means it because they aren't one. maka is so cute what do they do help

BlackStar: cis boy who's cartoonishly masculine and would never wear a dress... UNLESS... you promise him it would get him the most attention at the party... HM... then all eyes would be on HIM...! >:0 LIZ YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME HOW TO USE MAKEUP RIGHT NOW. CAN YOU DRAW STARS ON MY CHEEKS

Tsubaki: just your average everyday cis lesbian struggling with comphet and the patriarchy

Death the Kid: genuinely does not understand gender or quite know what it is. actually agender. has considered transitioning to be more feminine, because females tend to be more beautiful in his opinion, but decided against it for the time being because "boobs have a tendency to be slightly asymmetrical and I simply could not live with that. my hair is bad enough." if he ever did transition he wouldn't even announce it, he'd just show up one day as a girl and be confused at everyone's shocked reactions. soul eater is a comedy.

Liz: honestly I could see her being trans in one direction or the other. I don't have any strong feelings on this one, it's just a vibe.

Patty: literally as I was typing this I changed my mind. she's a girl but she's got other genders too. uses like 15 sets of neopronouns. as she gets older she starts dressing in the most wildly scenecore aesthetic outfits you've ever seen, and she has one for each gender.

I need to figure out when the Kentucky Derby is I wanna participate. I am not rich or white enough for country clubs or wherever people watch the Kentucky Derby but I'll party in my cute little hat with my cute little outfit and my cute little cocktail

Scarabée and Kitty Claws AU

Lady WiFi. The eager & determined Blogger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Marinette's victory in the derby hat competition, Alya invites her, Alix, Mylène, Juleka, and Rose to her place for a sleepover that weekend.

❤️Best Blogger📱: We gotta celebrate, Marinette! You're all coming over to my place Friday night for a slumber party!

👑Princess Rose🌹: YAY!! I'll bring stuff animals for all of you! Alix, do you still have Harry Hare?

💥Alix the Awesome🥇: Of course I do!

💙Mari-Caroon🥐: I got snacks covered!

📽Mylegend♻️ : I'll bring the bracelet materials and hair accessories!

💜Priceless Jule💎: Guess that leaves me with the movies.

The five of them thought the weekend couldn't come fast enough.

But when it did, the five of them had so much fun!

Only the best moments were posted to Alya's Instagram.

- Marinette putting cute outfits on everyone's stuffed animals.

- Alix and Mylène doing each other's hair.

- Rose putting glittery lip gloss on and kissing Juleka's face.

- Alix, Alya, and Juleka watching a horror movie while Mylène, Marinette, and Rose hide their faces with pillows.

- A quick macaroons fight that ended with them cleaning it all up.

- Alix beating Marinette in a pillow fight.

- And the girls posing in their pajamas in many pictures.

And all this was just the first night.

Chloé was in her room that night looking at the Instagram posts while Sabrina was trying to pick a movie for them to watch for their own slumber party.

Chloé, internally: I remember when me and Alix used to have slumber parties like these...

The more Chloé looked through the photos, the sadder she got.

Which Sabrina noticed quickly.

Sabrina, taking her phone: Enough of that! *gives her a box of chocolates* There will be none of that sadness while I'm here!

Chloé, giggles: Thanks Sabrina...

Sabrina: I'm sure Alix misses you just as much as you miss her.

Chloé, muttering: I doubt it...

Sabrina: I'm serious! With how much you've changed, there's no way she hasn't noticed you doing WAY better.

After Sabrina says this, Chloé immediately remembers the talk Alix had with her after she let Marinette have her seat back.

"Well, whatever you're trying to do, keep it up. Sooner or later, you'll probably be more fun to be around again."

Chloé's face erupts into a deep blush when she remembers that Alix winked at her.

Which she quickly covered with a pillow.

Sabrina: Wait... HAVE YOU TWO TALKED ABOUT THIS ALREADY?!

Chloé, slowly removing the pillow from her face: ... you remember the day I let Dupain-Cheng have the seat back?

While Chloé told Sabrina about what happened after school that day, Alya was about to tell the girls her first ScaraBlog theory.

Alya: What if Scarabée knows someone or many others from our school?!

Alix: *chokes on her soda*

Alya: I know! I was shocked when I put the dots together too!

Rose: We gotta hear more!

Alix, internally: Do we though!?

Alya: Scarabée was the first one on the scene when kids from our school were akumatized.

Mylène: Ivan DID tell me that Scarabée knew his name... do you think she goes to our school?!

Alix, internally: Shit! Shit! Shit!

Marinette: If she did, I doubt she'd want us civilians to know this.

Alix: YEAH! I mean... it's also very unlikely that she could know ANYONE from our school anyway.

Juleka: Come to think of it... Chloé hasn't been up to ANY bullying since Scarabée and Kitty Claws showed up.

Rose: *gasps excitedly* Do you think they inspired her to change for the better?!

Alya: Or... she could be who Scarabée knows personally!

Rose: Do you think they're dating?!

Alix, blushing lightly: Now that's abit of a stretch, isn't it? I doubt the first thing on Scarabée's mind is a lover...

Alya: You're right. I can't see Scarabée going for the "Damsel in Distress" type. Kitty Claws maybe...

Marinette: Alix, are you okay? Your face is flushed.

Alix: Yeah... I just need another soda.

Alix, internally: They think it's just a theory. Gotta keep it that way.

Despite Alya's "theory" being in her head, the weekend went by pretty fast for Alix.

It was now Monday morning and Chloé had to try her hardest to hide how excited she was as she walked closer to the school's entrance.

Chloé: I had to wait for Sabrina to go to sleep, but it was worth it. *pulls three photos out of her purse* Scarabée snapshots!

Plagg: As long as there's room for me and my cheese in here, simp all you want.

Chloé: If Adrien saw me with these, he'd NEVER let me live it down.

Adrien, walking up next to her: You're right!

Chloé, jump away from him: SHIT! Were you just WAITING to startle me?!

Adrien: Yep, the Scarabée snapshots were a fun surprise though.

Chloé, blushing furiously: SHUT UP!!

Adrien: Where did you even get snapshots of Scarabée?

Chloé, muttering: I... actually edited action shots of her from the ScaraBlog and printed them onto these.

Adrien: Wow! You're down HORRENDOUS!

Chloé, blushes while shoving the photos into her purse: SHUT IT!!!

Plagg, whispering: Ow!

Sabrina, from a distance: CHLOÉ!!!

Sabrina runs up to both Chloé and Adrien with bottles of water.

Sabrina: We gotta stay hydrated!

Chloé: You went abit too hard during Aikido training with your dad again, didn't you?

Sabrina: He let me take extra bottles of water as a reward.

Adrien: With how thirsty Chloé is, she’s gonna need all the water she can get- *gets elbowed by Chloé* OW!

When Chloé Adrien and Sabrina got to the locker room, there weren't many people in there, which made Chloé let out a relieved sigh.

Chloé, internally: I can't take the photos back home with me and I won't risk them smelling like camembert. My locker's the safest option.

Once Adrien and Sabrina go to their own lockers, Chloé quickly opens her and snatches the snapshots out of her purse, only to hit her hand on the locker door and drop them onto the floor.

Chloé: Ow! *whispers* Shit! *quickly picks up the photos, shoves them into the locker, and closes it*

Chloé thought she heard a clicking sound.

But before she could think about it abit more, Adrien and Sabrina walk up to her.

Sabrina: You okay? It sounded like you hit your hand pretty hard.

Chloé: I'm fine. Let's get to class!

Not far from Chloé's locker, Alya hid behind her own with her phone in hand.

Alya of course then decides to text the other girls and send them the picture she took.

❤️Best Blogger📱: YOU GUYS GOTTA SEE THIS! *view image here*

When they all saw the photo of the snapshots next to Chloé, they were quite surprised.

Specifically Alix.

💙Mari-Caroon🥐: Why does Chloé have snapshots of Scarabée?

👑Princess Rose🌹: ARE THEY DATING?!

📽Mylegend♻️: How are we gonna find out? It's not like Chloé's gonna tell us her business.

❤️Best Blogger📱: I'll get the truth outta her!

💙Mari-Caroon🥐: Sabrina knows aikido. If you make Chloé uncomfortable in any way, she will fight.

❤️Best Blogger📱: Then you guys distract her. This could blow up the ScaraBlog!

💜Priceless Jule💎: Alix, you've been quiet. Are you okay?

💥Alix the Awesome🥇: YEAH I'M FINE! I gotta run errands for my dad after school. So I won't be able to help you guys out with the plan. Sorry!

❤️Best Blogger📱: It's okay! We'll tell you all about it later.

🎥Mylegend♻️: I have a REALLY bad feeling about this.

Alix was in an empty girl's bathroom when she got the message.

Alix, whispering: Me too, Mylène. *puts her phone away*

Tikki, flying out of Alix's bag: How do you think Chloé got those pictures.

Alix: I don't know. Hopefully we'll find out after school.

After school, Alya Marinette Mylène Juleka and Rose watched as Chloé and Sabrina said their goodbyes to Adrien before walking toward the locker room to collect their own things.

Alya, whispering: You four are up!

Marinette, Mylène, Juleka, and Rose walk up to Sabrina, separating her from Chloé as she walked into the locker while Alya walked discreetly behind her.

Marinette: Hey Sabrina, are you still working on your aikido?

Sabrina: Yeah?

Mylène: I'd love if you taught me abit some time!

Sabrina, shocked: Really?

Rose: Yeah! It's so cool!

Juleka: Awesome.

While the four of them distracted Sabrina and led her away from the locker room, Alya walks up to Chloé as she closes her locker.

Alya: Chloé, can I have a word with you?

Chloé: Shouldn't you be hanging out with Kubdel and the others, Césaire?

Alya: I'd much rather talk to the girl who managed to get snapshots of Scarabée! *shows her the image on her phone*

Chloé, shocked: You took a picture of me?!

Alya, starts recording her: I'll be asking the questions here. Where did you get the snapshots? Did Scarabée give you the photos herself? How close are you two?

Chloé was beginning to internally panic.

Chloé, internally: This is bad! Scarabée most likely watches the ScaraBlog videos. If she sees this, she'll think I'm some clingy stalker!

Alya: Come on, Chloé! Give me answers!

Chloé, out loud: The only thing I'm gonna give you is a warning.

Alya: What-

Chloé: You took a photo of me without my consent and now you're also recording me without my consent.

Alya: Wait I-

Chloé: If you post that picture or this video to your ScaraBlog, I WILL have my father have Principle Damocles suspend you from school for the rest of the week or longer!

Alya, stomping off: FINE!

Once Alya is out of sight, Chloé let's out a loud sigh as she falls to her knees.

Plagg: That Blogger girl's quite the Journalist. She was all over you!

Chloé: We gotta be more careful around her and at school... I can't believe she got a photo of the snapshots!

Alya runs passed the five girls, which lead four of them following her and leaving a confused Sabrina behind.

Chloé, walking up next to Sabrina: I'm gonna put our plans on hold.

Sabrina: What happened?

Chloé: I'll tell you tomorrow.

While Chloé had herself and Sabrina driven to their respective homes, Alya was quite silent as she left the school, not even stopping to talk to the others.

While Alya went home, Alix actually went to the store to buy what Alim needed for dinner.

Tikki: So you weren't lying when you said you were running errands for your dad after school.

Alix: Well, they don't need to know that I run errands fast. And.... *quickly texts Alim* my dad now knows I'm getting the ingredients, so he doesn't have to. I'm gonna drop all of this off at home and Scarabée's gonna pay Chloé a visit.

As she said, Alix quickly bought all the ingredients Alim needed for dinner and went home.

Although Alim was grateful, he couldn't help but think something was on Alix's mind.

Alix: I'm gonna go out for abit. I'll make sure to be back before dinner's done!

Alim: Alix, is everything okay?

Alix: Of course I'm okay! Why wouldn't I be?

Alim: I can tell when there's something on your mind. Did something happen at school today? Did Chloé-

Alix, quickly cuts him off: Nothing's wrong dad, really! I'm just gonna skate around for abit.

Alim: Okay Sweetheart. Have fun!

Alix: Thanks dad! *quickly leaves*

Alim, internally: I shouldn't have brought up Chloé...

At the Césaire home, Alya locked herself in her room, which concerned Marlena, Otis, and the twins.

Otis: *knocks on her door* Alya, are you okay?

Alya: I'm fine!

Ella: Did something happen at school?

Etta: Do you want us to call Nora?

Alya: I just wanna be left alone!

Marlena: Okay Honey, we'll tell you when dinner's ready. Just take all the time you need.

Alya was trying her absolute hardest to figure out what Chloé's relationship with Scarabée was and why she would want to hide it, considering that news like this would make the rich blonde insanely popular.

"This doesn't make any sense! Why would she wanna hide something like this?!"

"Out of all people, you'd think she'd love to talk about being close with a superhero!"

"Even if I do find out the truth, I can't tell anyone or else she'll get me suspended. DAMNIT!"

In his lair, Hawkmoth senses Alya's anger and sends an akuma her way.

The akuma enters through her opened window and goes into her phone as she pastes back and forth.

Hawkmoth: Lady WiFi. I am Hawkmoth. I am giving you the ability to become a Seeker of Truth. All I want from you in return are Scarabée and Kitty Claws' Miraculous.

Alya: Yes Hawkmoth.

She transforms into Lady WiFi, Alya walks out of her room and towards her shocked family.

Otis: Alya! What's happening to you?!

Lady WiFi: I go by Lady WiFi now.

Etta: Told you we should've called Nora!

Ella: *nods in agreement*

Marlena: I won't forgive that Hawkmoth for putting my sweet girl through this!

Lady WiFi: I knew you'd all react this way.

Lady WiFi then quickly uses her powers to freeze her family.

Lady WiFi: Seeking the truth can be dangerous. I need to be sure that you all won't follow me. Now for my questions...

And thus Lady WiFi begins coming up with the many questions she'd ask Chloé.

After quickly jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Scarabée stops on top of the building across the street from Le Grand Paris.

She then uses her yo-yo to zoom in on the blonde's room.

Scarabée: Knowing Chloé, she probably upset Alya quite abit. This could lead to her getting akumatized. I'll stay here for half an hour. If an akumatized Alya doesn't show up, then I'll ask Chloé about the pictures. If KC is out and about, I should tell her what I'm up to.

Scarabée then turns the yo-yo away from Chloé's window and begins to send messages to Kitty Claws.

After ordering a snack for herself (and camembert cheese for Plagg), Chloé changes into her pajamas and lays down on her bed.

Plagg: Can't believe you were almost caught simping.

Chloé: Don't remind me. As long as Césaire doesn't post about it on her blog or try to interview me again, it'll be fine. I would die of embarrassment if Itty-Bitty found out that I had snapshots of her!

Plagg: It'd probably by WAY easier if you two knew more about each other.

Chloé: Like our identities? It would be amazing if me and Scarabée knew who each other are, but it's probably for the best that she doesn't know that her reliable partner is the most spoiled girl in Paris.

Plagg: I was referring to your tastes in women- *gets hit by Chloé's pillow*

Chloé then picks up her phone and sees that in the short amount of time she was in the bathroom, she got messages from Adrien and Sabrina.

🌟Princely Sunshine☀️: Hey Chloé. Sabrina told me something happened before you left school upset. Are you okay?

👓BrainyBrina📕: I sorry Chloé, I can't wait til tomorrow! Are you okay?! What happened between in the locker room?!

Plagg: *flies through the pillow* You're clearly not THAT bad! You at least got two friends who know you're great.

Chloé: Yeah... *whispers* hopefully it'll be three again soon.

While Chloé looked at the text messages, her phones rings.

When she answers, Lady WiFi uses the phone to teleport into the room.

Before he could be noticed, Plagg quickly hides.

Chloé let's out a loud scream which got Scarabée's attention from outside.

Scarabée, getting ready to go in: Guess I can't wait for KC for too long.

Lady WiFi: I will interview you, Chloé!

Chloé: Césaire?! Of course it's you!

Lady WiFi then pulls a chair out of her phone  and opens a video recording icon to broadcast the would be interview.

Everyone in Paris is surprised as Lady WiFi appears on their TVs and phones.

Lady WiFi: People of Paris! I'm coming to you live with an exclusive interview with the girl who somehow managed to get close to Scarabée. Chloé Bourgeois!

~~~~~At the Raincomprix Home~~~~~

Sabrina, watching on her TV: HOLY SHIT, CHLOÉ!! DAD, WE GOTTA GET TO LE GRAND PARIS NOW!

~~~~~At the Agreste Mansion~~~~~

Adrien, watching on his computer: I'm both worried about her AND shocked that she didn't tell me she was actually close to Scarabée!

When Chloé starts to run, Lady WiFi uses her phone to shoot a pink rewind symbol onto Chloé's back and rewinds her until she's back on her bed.

Lady WiFi: Thanks to Hawkmoth, I am Lady WiFi now and you won't be dodging the interview this time, Chloé!

Before Lady WiFi could get any closer to Chloé, Scarabée swings through the balcony door.

Scarabée: Alya, stop this now!

Lady WiFi: Now she's personally coming to your rescue? I can't wait to find out more about your relationship!

Chloé, blushing furiously: IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!

Scarabée then wraps her yo-yo around Lady WiFi and flings her into the closet.

Scarabée: You get to safety now!

Chloé then quickly runs out of the room with Plagg (making Scarabée doesn't see him).

Lady WiFi: NO! And for that, you're gonna help me test the fast forward feature!

Scarabée manages to dodge the pink fast forward sign and throws the chair at Lady WiFi.

Lady WiFi gets up ready to use her powers again, but Scarabée already left the room.

Scarabée stares at the only contact in her yo-yo as she ran down the hall.

Scarabée, internally: This one's tough! Where are you KC?

Chloé with Plagg flying next to her takes an elevator up by floor and transforms into Kitty Claws.

Kitty Claws: I'm coming, Itty-Bitty!

~~~~~The Floor below her~~~~~

Lady WiFi, still live streaming: People of Paris! This is your lucky night! Not only will I be getting you the scoop on Scarabée and Chloé's relationship, but I will be unmasking THE Scarabée!

Scarabée, whispering while hiding under a service cart: There's only one person who would enjoy watching something that would inconvenience us heroines this much....

Hawkmoth, watching the live stream on a table from his lair: These teens and their live streams are getting better and better.

Before Lady WiFi could walk any closer to the service cart Scarabée was under, Kitty Claws comes out of the hotel room door next to her and hits her with the baton, which causes her to fall onto the floor.

As Lady WiFi gets back up, Scarabée gets up from under the service cart and kicks it into her before Kitty Claws runs up to the shorter heroine.

Scarabée: I take it you got my texts?

Kitty Claws: I could never ignore you, Itty-Bitty~

Lady WiFi, getting up: This night just gets better and better! I will be unmasking BOTH Scarabée and Kitty Claws!

When Lady WiFi tries to freeze them, they escape into the stairwell.

Kitty Claws, running down the stairs with Scarabée: You got a plan, Itty-Bitty?

Scarabée: Given her name and powers, WiFi is obviously her source of power. All we have to do is lure her towards the basement of the building where there's no signal.

The two heroines dodged lots of pink fast forwards, rewinds, and pauses as they went further down.

When Lady WiFi catches onto their plan, she leaves to set a trap.

Scarabée: Prepare yourself, KC...

Kitty Claws, internally: Come on Chloé! It wouldn't hurt to ask... *speaks out loud* So, what do you do on your free time... when you're not Scarabée?

Scarabée: *chuckles* Now's not the time or place, Kitty.

Lady WiFi: *goes back into the hotel*

Scarabée: Damnit, she went back into the hotel! *runs up the stairs with Kitty Claws right behind her*

Kitty Claws: Shit, she locked all the doors! *turns to Scarabée while still running* You know, we could actually know each other in our personal lives. Would you happen to be interested in tall hot blonde girls?

Scarabée: I doubt it and if I can't tell you my identity, why would I give you a hint of my personal tastes in a lover?

Kitty Claws: *pouts* You know the Mayor's daughter?

Scarabée: We are currently trying to save her, yes.

Kitty Claws, blushing: I was just wondering what you think of her?

Scarabée: Given that we're here because Lady WiFi thinks we're close, I gotta get answers from her. Now get ready for an ambush when we get to an unlocked door!

They finally reach an unlocked floor and kick the door open, finding themselves in the hotel's dining area, which was seemingly empty.

Kitty Claws: She's not here. So much for an ambush.

Scarabée: Follow me and don't let your guard down.

All the tables have a phone on them.

Scarabée, looking at all the phones: I got a bad feeling about these phones.

Kitty Claws: I'll say! These were new last year!

They soon learn that Lady WiFi can use them to teleport around the room.

Lady WiFi immediately shows herself and tries to pause the heroines multiple times, only for the two to obviously dodge.

She manages to get the drop on Kitty Claws when she tries to shield herself with a table only to be blasted into the nearest wall before she falls to the floor.

Scarabée tries to trap Lady WiFi with her yo-yo, but she teleports through multiple phones.

Lady WiFi: You can't catch me, Scarabée!

Scarabée: Wanna bet?

Scarabée starts smashing the phones with her yo-yo and Lady WiFi flees into the kitchen with Scarabée behind her, where she locks the door, trapping Scarabée in the kitchen with her.

Kitty, banging on the doors: Nonono!!! I'm coming, Scarabée! Think Kitty think.... the service elevator!

While Kitty Claws uses the service elevator in the dining area to get into the kitchen, Lady WiFi was dodging pots and pans Scarabée threw at her.

Scarabée tries to jump at Lady WiFi, but she dodges, which sends her back front against the wall.

Lady WiFi manages to corner Scarabée against the wall and locks her hands down.

She then re-opens the video recording icon.

Lady WiFi: Who is Scarabée? The heroine Paris needs? A spoiled blonde's secret fling? Or someone just as bad as Chloé? How can we trust her when we have no idea who she is?! We have a right to know!

She then proceeds to try and take off Scarabée's mask. It appears to be glued on and won't come off. 

Lady WiFi: WHY WON'T THIS THING COME OFF!

Scarabée: Did you really think I was just some normal girl in a costume I bought?! It's obviously magic!

Kitty Claws, coming out of the service elevator: You're running out of bars, Lady WiFi. Step away from my Itty-Bitty!

Lady WiFi: First Chloé and now Kitty Claws?! *turns back to Scarabée* You sure do attract the most annoying blondes!

Scarabée, with a slight blush: There is no attracting going on here!

Kitty Claws: You know what they say about blondes. We have the most fun~ *winks*

Lady WiFi then begins to shot her pink pauses at Kitty Claws who manages to dodge most of them, but Lady Wifi traps her in the freezer and locks the door.

The impact knocks the ring off her finger, and he transforms back into Chloé and is unable to find the ring. 

Chloé, shivering: S-shit! My ring! *begins looking around* A little help here?!

Plagg, also shivering: T-toooo cold.

~~~~~Outside The Freezer~~~~~

Scarabée, struggling against the locks: KITTY!!

Lady WiFi: What am I gonna do with you two?

Hawkmoth, communicating with Lady WiFi: Get her to use her lucky charm. It'll force her to watch back and her true identity will be revealed and her Miraculous will be mine!

Lady WiFi, to Scarabée: If you don't get her out soon, your Kitty will be too cold to cuddle. *frees Scarabée while laughing* Have fun with your Clawsicle, I've got other News to cover! *teleports away*

Sabrina was waiting outside for Chloé with André, Roger, and the many other cops.

When her phone rings, she answers, and Lady WiFi teleports from the phone onto the hotel's roof, forcing Paris to watch as Scarabée tries to save Scarabée.

Lady WiFi, continuing to live stream: Listen everyone! I present you with the award winning news story you've all been waiting for!

Scarabée, angrily kicking the locked door: Damnit! Don't worry, KC! I'll get you outta there!

Chloé, shivering while still looking for her ring: T-take your time, Itty-Bitty. I-i'll be fine!

Lady WiFi: Don't blink! Cause Scarabée's about reveal her true identity to all of us!

Trying to kick the door down doesn't work, so she uses Lucky Charm, and a frozen meal appears.

Scarabée: This better be one hell of a snack.

Using her lucky vision, she spots the non-microwaveable icon on the box, the lock icon on the freezer door, and a nearby microwave oven.

Scarabée: Time to do some serious damage!

She puts the non-microwaveable dinner in the microwave and blows it up to diffuse the signal.

The door unlocks just as Chloé, nearly frozen to death, finds her ring and transforms back into Kitty Claws.

When Scarabée opens the door at last, she passes out and falls on top of her, worn from the cold.

Scarabée, holding Kitty Claws close to her: Come on KC, stay with me... please.

Kitty Claws, noticing her beeping earrings: You used your Lucky Charm. You don't have much time left!

Lady WiFi: Exactly!

Kitty Claws: Can you zap open the door again?

Scarabée: No, that was the only microwave in this kitchen. *notices the pink camera icon and starts whispering in Kitty Claws' ear*

Kitty Claws, after Scarabée leans away from her ear: Got it, Itty-Bitty.

Kitty Claws covers the camera icon with a pot, which kept Lady WiFi, Hawkmoth, and all of Paris from seeing them.

Lady WiFi: What are they up to?!

Hawkmoth: I want my Miraculous!

Lady WiFi: Right!

~~~~~Back in the kitchen~~~~~

Kitty Claws, going into the service elevator: I'll go jam the WiFi antenna.

Scarabée: Good Luck, KC.

Kitty Claws: You're all the luck I need, Smoochie-Bug~ *blows her a kiss*

Scarabée, blushing lightly: Bye Kitty! *pushes the elevator button*

Growing suspicious, Lady Wifi returns and chases Kitty Claws onto the roof.

She start up her Cataclysm, but quickly realized that Lady WiFi put a shield around the antenna.

Lady WiFi, teleporting from inside the antenna: This is surprisingly clever of you, Kitty Claws, but I won't let you win! *shots fast forwards at her only to miss*

Scarabée, earrings down to two dots: Come on, KC... you got this!

She distracts her by throwing her staff at her and then uses her Cataclysm to destroy the signal receiver.

Lady WiFi loses her powers, the recording and lock icons in the kitchen downstairs dissolving as Scarabée's earrings beep down to two spots.

Kitty Claws: Give up the phone, Césaire!

Lady WiFi: Never!

Kitty Claws and Lady WiFi immediately start fighting over the phone.

Scarabée escaped the kitchen and shows up on the roof soon after.

Kitty Claws, being pinned down by Lady WiFi: Sorry WiFi, there's only one girl I want to pin me down. Right, Itty-Bitty?

Lady WiFi, pinning her down with one hand while the other holds the phone up: What?! *turns to see Scarabée*

Scarabée then uses her yo-yo to yank the phone out of Lady WiFi's hand, smashing in on the ground.

She captures the akuma and returns everything back to normal with Miraculous Scarabée.

Lady WiFi turns back into Alya, who is thrilled to see Scarabée and Kitty Claws.

Kitty Claw: Selfie time, Itty-Bitty! *pulls Scarabée closes and takes the selfie*

Alya, walking up to the two: Scarabée and Kitty Claws?! No way! Can I get a quick interview? Wait, where's my phone?

Kitty Claws, hearing Scarabée's earrings beeping: Let's go Itty-Bitty. You only got a minute left!

They escape from the roof before Alya can get an interview.

They run into the hotel lobby and Scarabée ducks inside a closet.

Kitty Claws tries to stop her.

Kitty Claws, grabbing Scarabée's wrist: Please stay? I promise I won't tell anyone...

Scarabée, pulling her wrist out of Kitty Claws' hand and caresses the side of her face: No can do, Kitty! This secret is for our protection, as well as our loved ones and everyone else in Paris.

The closet door swings between them just as her transformation wears off and Kitty Claws is tempted to open the door.

Conflicted, she ultimately decides not to betray her trust and leaves, closing the door for her.

Chloé runs outside of the hotel and opens up her jacket. Plagg flies out and questions her.

Plagg: Why did you do that?! Your dream girl was RIGHT THERE!! What were you thinking?

Chloé: It's too dangerous for now Plagg and besides, Itty-Bitty will tell me when she's ready.

Plagg: I will never get you humans and your personal relationships. *flies back in her jacket*

Sabrina, running up to her: CHLOÉ!!! YOU'RE OKAY!!! *tackles her to the ground in a tight hug*

Alix peaks out the closet to see Chloé and Sabrina walking into the hotel and Alya walking pass them to leave the hotel.

Alix: Guess I'll have to ask Chloé about the selfies tomorrow night.

Tikki: Good call. Now let's go home! Your dad should be done with dinner by now!

When Alya got home, she was immediately hugged by her family. Including Nora who made a surprise visit.

Nora: ARE YOU OKAY?! I HEARD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND CAME AS FAST AS I COULD!! MA AND POPS CALLED ME AS SOON AS THEY WERE UNFROZEN!

Alya: Nora, I'll be ok-

Marlena, crying: If you're ever feeling upset enough to get akumatized, please talk to us!

Alya: I will Mama, please don't cry-

Otis: That Hawkmoth has got some nerve taking advantage of my girl's feelings!

Alya: Dad-

Ella and Etta, crying: ALYA!!!!

Alya was so busy with her family that night, she could remember what she had to do.

It wasn't until the next day at school when everyone was talking about it is when she remembered.

Marinette: Alya! You're Akuma Fight is ALL OVER the ScaraBlog!

Rose: Everyone in Paris has seen it!

Juleka: Your Lady WiFi costume does look cool though!

Nathaniel: Love the colors for the outfit!

Nino: It's getting so many views too!

Mylène: Are you okay after all that?

Alya: HOLY SHIT! I GOTTA DELETE IT!

Alix: That's gonna have to wait. We got class!

As the five of them walked to class, Alya couldn't help but feel someone glaring daggers at the back of her head.

Chloé was trying her very best to calm down the very angry Sabrina, but barely anything was working.

Chloé: It's okay Bri-

Sabrina: No it's not! Not only does she go after you while akumatized, but thanks to that Live Stream on the ScaraBlog, everyone thinks you're dating Scarabée! Which is incredibly dangerous I might add!

Adrien, walking up to them: Aside from the constant danger, I doubt Chloé would mind such a rumor going around, right Chlo?

Chloé, hiding her blushing face: *mutters* Shut it, Adrien!

Later that night, Chloé was looking at her Scarabée snapshots while laying on her Scarabée doll when the real deal comes swinging through her balcony doors.

Chloé: SCARABÉE?! *sweeps the doll and pictures off of her bed* What are you doing here?

Scarabée: I'm here to talk. I've been hearing about you having some snapshots of me?

Chloé, erupting into a fiery blush: H-how did you-

Scarabée: Don't worry, the ScaraBlogger didn't tell me anything. I'm just here to ask a few questions.

Chloé, internally screaming: THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING! I CAN'T TELL IF THIS IS A DREAM OR A NIGHTMARE! Wait... I CAN'T TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER!!

Scarabée: Chloé?

Chloé: Right! I'm... a huge fan. I edited some photos from the ScaraBlog onto the snapshots. For cosplay purposes!

Scarabée: Impressive. Can I see the snapshots?

Chloé, caught off guard: Sure! *quickl picks the snapshots off the floor and gives them to Scarabée* Here you go!

Scarabée then pulls a pen out of her yo-yo, quickly writes on all the snapshots, and gives them back to Chloé.

When Chloé sees that Scarabée signed all three snapshots, she manages to blush even harder.

Chloé: T-thank you, Scarabée!

Scarabée: Anything for a fan. Make sure you clear all this up with the ScaraBlogger. Wouldn't want her getting the wrong idea, now would we? *winks at her*

Chloé, with a crimson face: N-no Ma'am.

Scarabée: Good! Try to avoid danger and negative emotions, Princess~ *blows her a kiss before leaving*

Plagg, flies out of his doll house and up to Chloé: I didn't expect her to drop by, did you?

Chloé: *faints*

Plagg: I'll take that as a no.

I like your headcanons! I would like to see your headcanons about Parker and Pinky (and maybe Gord). And I would be even more pleased with headcanons about my OC Mary ^^

UUUUUUUUGH YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY i love Parker he’s my fav prep and very closely tied as my favourite student too and i never see much stuff for pinky either, I love pinky! Ill dedicate a special post to Mary, I like to give everyone’s ocs special attention :3

PARKER OGILVIE AND PINKY GAUTHIER HCS

PINKY GAUTHIER

Ladies first! And to start I think Pinky is most definitely a lady, despite how young she is. She probably had elocution lessons from very young, likely as soon as she started toddling the Gauthiers were putting books on her still yet unfused head. She prides herself on having the best table manners, vocabulary and posture of the preps but then again there’s a LOT of pressure on her. Her marriage to Derby was likely decided before Pinky was even a concept, she’s known her entire life that the plan for her is to marry her cousin and keep the family lines strong, pure and untainted by the blood of lower class outsiders. I’d find it very hard to believe that her parents put any sort of emphasis on her academic achievements, they likely want her to make good connections and thrive socially. Ever since she was very little her parents have made her plan and host her own birthday parties. The mark of a good woman is how good she is as a hostess, after all.

Pinky is very naturally graceful, so her parents sent her off to a ballet school in Belgium for the first few years of her early teens, she enjoyed the dancing but very much did not enjoy the teachers’ emphasis on her appearance when she danced. Alongside ballet, she was also taught to ballroom dance and to figure skate. Pinky can still barely stand the smell of hairspray, it reminds her too much of having her hair wrenched back into exceptionally tight, intricate styles for ballroom. She keeps on with ballet and figure skating, although she mostly tends to skate in duo competitions with Gord rather than solo, she finds them more enjoyable.

Likes to be tanned, but will never go to a tanning salon unless she’s absolutely positively desperate. Then again, she only ever gets spray tans in the salon. If she feels she’s looking a little pale or sickly, she calls her daddy. Daddy will then get her out of class for however long she likes and whisk her away somewhere nice and warm. It’s the perfect arrangement.

Despite my first headcanon, i do think that pinky has still retained a good amount of her inner child. She loves the carnival, and will beg anyone and everyone to take there. If not to go on the rides, to gawk at all the poor people. Like gord, she admires them, but unlike gord she really relishes in their sense of fun. The carnival is trivial in terms of amusement for her when at the snap of her fingers she could own every single six flags in the country. Or have a waterslide built into the walls of her room right down into the Olympic sized pool the Gauthiers have in their yard. Pinky likes those that are outside her social circle because they’re so carefree, they can use what little money they have in their pockets to shoot empty tequila bottles with an airsoft rifle and win little tickets and they have FUN doing it! Now that is cool.

Pinky is quick to love, she makes connections easily because she’s been so deprived of interaction in her younger years. Her parents, more specifically her father, kept her locked in an ivory tower on their estate for as long as humanly possible lest she get any ideas above her station. Pinky is most definitely a girls girl, she likes doing girly stuff and in a clique choc full of boys she finds it hard to fully connect with the preps beyond anything highly superficial. She tries to plan girls days out as often as possible and she pays for literally everything, mani-pedis, new outfits, breakfast lunch and dinner. Pinky just likes being a girly girl, and when she’s around other girls her age she really thrives.

PARKER OGILVIE

Parker is just the sweetest person in the universe. You could not get me to say a bad word about Parker if my life depended on it. I think he’s a very happy go lucky guy, and definitely the person you want to go to if you’re feeling a little bit blue (aquaberry blue or otherwise) because he’s just so sunny! No one really knows how he manages to stay so positive all the time, maybe its because of all the inbreeding but he could be having the worst day that any human in the history of the world could have ever experienced and he’d still be basically skipping around school whistling like a 1940’s Disney character.

He tires to act all ruthless and cold hearted to fit in better with the preps but he’s such a huge softie, he just can’t help but show it, even if it makes him feel guilty (like the voice lines about the beggar). Parker wears his heart on his sleeve, he’s pretty easy to read, which by proxy makes him easy to manipulate. He forms strong bonds quickly and gets his heart broken a lot. He just wants to be loved in the same way he loves everyone else, he still hasn’t quite realised that a man of his station can’t love so freely.

The gnome thing started when he was a little kid. Every kid has their comfort item, his just happened to be an antique garden gnome. He took gnomey with him everywhere, to school, to bed, to cotillions. Everywhere. Once his parents found out his tantrums could be satiated with gnomes, his collection only grew. When his sister was born, he was given a small collection of gnomes by his parents a little gnome family painted to look like the Ogilvies, with a card stating that they were actually a special gift from his newborn sister. This made the transition from only child to older brother just a little bit smoother. In hindsight, his parents could have tried to wean him off of the gnomes, more specifically his nasty habit of talking openly with them, but they saw Parker wasn’t showing any other sins of stunted development or impaired neurological function like they had seen with many of their other old-money friends’ kids, so simply let him keep chatting away to the gnomes.

He’s got quite the knack for gardening, but fears he’ll be kicked out of the clique if he continues to get caught elbow deep in potting soil, so he opts to hire help in the form of other students. He gives them detailed instructions on everything, from pruning, to watering to propagation but always seems to find himself in the greenhouse at dead of night with a head torch on, cleaning up their shoddy work. Tad sometimes comes to help him, and they have a little secret corner of the greenhouse that they grow seasonal flowers in. If Parker likes them enough, he’ll cut of the best ones and make bouquets for his dates. He’s been turned down so many times though, that he’s starting to run out of flowers.

Has the most gorgeous, pin straight hair ever. Much to the despair of other preps (COGUH gordCOUGH) that have to rely on hair straighteners and countless extremely expensive styling products to keep their hair looking fabulous and up to par. Parker is usually good to go as soon as he’s out of bed. Just a light brushing to alleviate tangles and brush his hair into place and he’s flyaway free and good to go. The only time he ever touches his hair with products is days he knows he’s got big events, or will be doing a lot of strenuous exercise. He uses styling wax and hairspray SPARINGLY on those days to make sure his hair stays at its very best.

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. Any products or services put forward appear in no particular order. if you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Nobody likes crossing paths with someone wearing exactly the same thing as them. It’s embarrassing. And following the latest and greatest menswear trends is a good way to double your chances of it happening to you. Presenting yourself in a manner that’s both individual and up to date requires digging a little deeper. Diving below the surface of the mainstream menswear tide and getting stuck into what lies beneath. These are your microtrends – the under-the-radar style moves that can take you one step ahead of the crowd. Here’s what you need to know for the season ahead. Perforated Uppers Holy sneakers, Batman! Literally. Perforated toe boxes on shoes are nothing new. Just look at the Air Force 1 for proof of that. Even so, they’re enjoying a resurgence in popularity at present and we certainly aren’t complaining. Blame it on the 90s style revival, blame it on the fetishisation of anything remotely retro. Whatever the cause, one thing’s for sure, hole-y uppers are back and now would be a good time to get involved. You might think this trend would be best suited to the summer months due to the added ventilation provided. And you’d be right. But perforated uppers are good for more than just letting your feet breathe – they look great too. Striped Wool Jumpers If you spent more time drooling over Freddie Krueger’s jumper than hiding behind the sofa during the 80s this one is going to be right up your (Elm) street. Stripy jumpers are back from the dead, making dressing for the weather and staying on trend a walk in the park. Bold lines, block colours and chunky knits are ideal for wrapping up and giving your outfit a focal point. While fine gauge knits, thin stripes and subtle tones can be used to add a low-key dash of personality to proceedings. Commando Soles Tough-as-nails commando sole units. They’ve been marching their way off the frontline and onto some of menswear’s favourite footwear silhouettes for a little while now. It’s a development that has seen classics like the Chelsea boot and the Derby shoe undergo a military makeover, coming out of basic training with an added dose of attitude. This footwear microtrend is all about taking traditionally smart or dressy designs and doing away with the standard flat leather or rubber sole. In their place are the sort of thick Vibram treads perfect for standing up to wintery elements. And with the bad weather doing everything it can to get into full swing it’s one of the most practical style moves you can add to your seasonal repertoire. Patterned Dinner Jackets We’re now in the throes of party season and dressing to impress is the name of the game. That doesn’t necessarily mean squeezing yourself into boring black tie gear and doing your best Sean Connery impression though. The festive period affords you the opportunity to get creative with your partywear. And while that may sound daunting, with a statement dinner jacket at your disposal, it’s a breeze. This microtrend hinges on treading the line between standout and subtle. There are all-over patterns but they’re subdued. There are colours but they’re muted. You can make an impression at a party without going all Harry and Lloyd, you know. Leopard Print You know us – we’d be the last people to suggest you should go out dressed like Fred Flintstone. However, the animal print trend doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon and it’s probably time you paid it some attention. Species-wise, it’s the leopard that has been prowling the catwalks of late. And as counterintuitive and Mel B-esque as it may be, it can actually work well when styled thoughtfully. Key pieces include shirting, statement outerwear and accessories. Just remember only ever to wear one piece at a time unless you want to risk being shot by a trophy-hunting dentist the next time you’re out for a stroll. Panelled Joggers Fashion is fast paced and unforgiving. The more popular a trend becomes, the further it has to fall. As years of minimalism, slim cuts and athleisure gave way to 90s styling, oversized silhouettes and maximalism over the past year or two, pared-back, smart joggers are one of the many hero items of sportswear to have been supplanted. Today it’s about retro sporty styles, featuring panel detailing and heavy branding, with brands like The North Face and Fila leading the charge. We’re talking block colours, cut-and-sew mixing of fabrics and plenty of texture variations. Safety Orange You probably aren’t going to get caught in an avalanche on your way to the office or find yourself swept out to sea while nipping out to buy some eggs. Still, it’s comforting to know you’d be easy to spot if you were to be. Safety orange is quite literally the hottest colour in menswear right now. And while it may not be for everybody, there’s no denying it’s a safe way to add a pop to an outfit. This vibrant shade works particularly well on outerwear and accessories. Think windbreakers, waterproofs, cross-body bags and beanies. Granted, it sits more on the streetwear end of the spectrum and it’s a brave man who pairs it with any sort of tailoring. However, if you’ve got the pips for it, orange is one of the boldest style moves to make this winter. Mickey Mouse No, you didn’t read that wrong. Disney’s big-eared rodent mascot really is one of the biggest microtrends of AW18. The reason being that it’s his birthday – his 90th to be precise. If you’re wondering why that makes him a trend, and you’d be completely justified in doing so, allow us to explain. Mickey’s 90th birthday has seen the cartoon mouse join forces with some of the biggest names in menswear to create limited edition commemorative pieces, just as Sesame Street and Peanuts have in recent seasons. Everyone from Swatch to Clarks has been getting in on the action. Oh boy, perhaps it’s time you did, too. Source link

Patterned Dinner Jackets We’re now in the throes of party season and dressing to impress is the name of the game. That doesn’t necessarily mean squeezing yourself into boring black tie gear and doing your best Sean Connery impression though. The festive period affords you the opportunity to get creative with your partywear. And while that may sound daunting, with a statement dinner jacket at your disposal, it’s a breeze. This microtrend hinges on treading the line between standout and subtle. There are all-over patterns but they’re subdued. There are colours but they’re muted. You can make an impression at a party without going all Harry and Lloyd, you know. Leopard Print You know us – we’d be the last people to suggest you should go out dressed like Fred Flintstone. However, the animal print trend doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon and it’s probably time you paid it some attention. Species-wise, it’s the leopard that has been prowling the catwalks of late. And as counterintuitive and Mel B-esque as it may be, it can actually work well when styled thoughtfully. Key pieces include shirting, statement outerwear and accessories. Just remember only ever to wear one piece at a time unless you want to risk being shot by a trophy-hunting dentist the next time you’re out for a stroll. Panelled Joggers Fashion is fast paced and unforgiving. The more popular a trend becomes, the further it has to fall. As years of minimalism, slim cuts and athleisure gave way to 90s styling, oversized silhouettes and maximalism over the past year or two, pared-back, smart joggers are one of the many hero items of sportswear to have been supplanted. Today it’s about retro sporty styles, featuring panel detailing and heavy branding, with brands like The North Face and Fila leading the charge. We’re talking block colours, cut-and-sew mixing of fabrics and plenty of texture variations. Safety Orange You probably aren’t going to get caught in an avalanche on your way to the office or find yourself swept out to sea while nipping out to buy some eggs. Still, it’s comforting to know you’d be easy to spot if you were to be. Safety orange is quite literally the hottest colour in menswear right now. And while it may not be for everybody, there’s no denying it’s a safe way to add a pop to an outfit. This vibrant shade works particularly well on outerwear and accessories. Think windbreakers, waterproofs, cross-body bags and beanies. Granted, it sits more on the streetwear end of the spectrum and it’s a brave man who pairs it with any sort of tailoring. However, if you’ve got the pips for it, orange is one of the boldest style moves to make this winter. Mickey Mouse No, you didn’t read that wrong. Disney’s big-eared rodent mascot really is one of the biggest microtrends of AW18. The reason being that it’s his birthday – his 90th to be precise. If you’re wondering why that makes him a trend, and you’d be completely justified in doing so, allow us to explain. Mickey’s 90th birthday has seen the cartoon mouse join forces with some of the biggest names in menswear to create limited edition commemorative pieces, just as Sesame Street and Peanuts have in recent seasons. Everyone from Swatch to Clarks has been getting in on the action. Oh boy, perhaps it’s time you did, too. Source link
