#I don't think I had Link lovey-dovey with her enough

[skyview-temple-spring]

Despite the title, this a crack/humor Peatrice/Link fic. The epic highs and lows of high school romance

[astrobuggy]

!! Tsams/Tlaes headcannons !!

Bc I'm bored 😃👍

○ The Astrals don't bleed

● If the Astrals ever blush, they glow brighter

○ The Astrals can regenerate their body parts if they ever get cut off

● Earth and Pollux have played dress up (with tea, snacks, makeup, and nail polish) once, and Castor walked in (yes, he was dragged to join in the little function, he lost a bit of dignity that day)

○ He may not seem like it, but Castor has developed a sweet tooth while his time on Earth (the planet), so has Pollux, but she's vocal about it

● The astrals don't have a reflection it's just light, flash bang 💥 (Lunar saw this with Gemini, and he couldn't see for a while)

○ Pollux has hello kitty heelys (I got this from someone else btw)

● Lunar is Castors first ever friend (They both got too attached)

○ Castor has abandonment issues (or detattachment issues, idk how to spell it🤷‍♀️)

● Solar drinks black coffee (the strong taste wakes him up)

○ Earth smells like lavender

● Earth and Lunar have a gift exchange every time something terrible happens (which is every single day 😭)

○ Lunars' love language is physical touch, gift giving, and words of affirmation (He has given gifts to Earth, Sun, Moon, Castor, Pollux, and Monty)

● The Astrals can express emotions they just don't know the word of said feelings, so they don't know how it feels and what word links to said emotion (so they think of themselves as expressionless beings)

○ Moon likes Earth cooking and baked treats (he can't get enough dawg 😭🙏)

● Nexus is going through his emo phase

○ Gemini (Castor and Pollux obv) are touch starved (they are a space being who hasn't gotten a hug for the years they've been alive for and are being revealed to touch the first time in their life and once they do they don't know what they're feeling or what it is, btw Lunar was the first one who hugged them)

● Lunar makes it his mission to spend more time with Pollux and Castor

○ Sun smelled like mangos and cherries at the beginning, but that started to fade now he smells like mangos, cleaning supplies, and cats

● Sun had a favorite kid in the daycare (after July 16th, they never showed up again. Wonder where they went!)

○ Dazzles real name was Delilah

● Whenever Jack sees someone eat pumpkin pie he holds himself

○ Castor has heard Lunar say his lovey dovey comments about Gemini, Pollux, and himself, now it's a daily occurrence to him (he glows a bit brighter every time this happens)

● Lunar has written love letters to Gemini, Pollux, and Castor. They're separated, and he writes what he likes about each and every one of them and his favorite moments with them. He doesn't give these to them he hides them away in the closet (Castor knows about them)

○Earth has a plushie collection (she takes care of them like as if they were her kids)

● Earth ice skates and is pretty damn good at it 👌

○ The Gemini twins like to look at Lunars eyes; Pollux is more vocal about while Castor just watches on the side lines, taking a peak once in a while

This was way too damn long 😒 Most of these were the Astrals or Lumini 😭😭 Sorry! I just have more of a preference 😪

[extralively]

Your art is gorgeous 😍 I was reading your post about it, I clicked on the YT link, and I think the algorithm sent me into a rabbit hole.

Now it showed me this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEkviZp-aHQ

I haven't watched this drama in full and I have no idea what's going on, but after how you mentioned this is what the dynamic is like between Satoru and Yura, the interactions between Lee Sung-Kyung and Ahn Hyo-Seop from 8:33 onwards had me on the floor 😭💀

It's so SatoYura-coded 🥹

Thank you so much (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡ I don't think I've ever posted my art on the internet before, only been quietly obsessing with improving and drawing SatoYura stuff has given me a great excuse to do so hehe thank you <33

Oh man those scenes!! Those two characters aren't exactly like Satoru and Yura, but some of their scenes definitely feel like them, like this exact one you mentioned! You know damn well I'm watching these vids and taking notes 👀

And since you've given me the perfect excuse to post more of these scenes lmao, here are a few that I also think are very SatoYura-like (mostly forget about the actual dialogue, just focus on the actions lmao):

This scene (starting at around 9:24): think Satoru and Yura at school, it's the summer of their second year, they're watching a movie in his room and he accidentally falls asleep for the first time in front of her. So Yura has an idea...

This scene (starting at around 8:52): feels very them being silly in their early-twenties (even tho Yura doesn't have a car lmao, just never mind that bit)

From the same vid (starting at 13:00): Yura having to go on the rare overseas trip, and Satoru is pouting that she's leaving him despite the fact that he's always traveling overseas himself lol (and this is when they're already all lovey-dovey with each other)

There's also this kiss, but that would only be if Yura actually had the guts to make the first move lol. Maybe in an alternate universe!

.....and finally......

This scene (the first half of the vid): There's a scene in an upcoming chapter that was heavily inspired by this one... you'll see when we get there (ʘ‿ʘ✿)

There are more scenes I could post here, but enough (....for now.....). But if you get me going I won't stop LMAO

[clockwise-works]

Idk if you've answered these yet, but 17 and 22 for the ask game?

Thanks for the ask Sky, and don't worry I don't think I've answered these ones! And sorry for the late answer, these one's genuinely had me thinking at work lmao

17. There should be more of this type of fic/art

This one is a... little difficult to answer. In terms of fics, I generally only stick with the Mipha/Link tag, and once sorting and curating it to my liking I can honestly say I so very rarely run into fics I don't like. It's the same with art, granted I'm a little more general with my art. Like yeah I love Miphlink and Mipha art, but I also like general non ship Zelda art, Sonic, Kirby, Mario, Pikmin, you can show me art for something I've never engaged with and I'll probably like it! Line technique, coloring styles, backgrounds, even ui and video game menu designs get my brain going!

So in terms of stuff I think there should be more of, as in there's grossly not enough? I guess I'll go with Miphlink fics that involve ALL the champions + some extras like Impa, Purah and Robbie, the Brigade members. Don't get me wrong, I love lovey dovey "the two idiots are together, watch them fumble until being together", but the one's I really love? I love the fics that include the other characters, give them their own arcs and dynamics with one another, AND the miphlink is there but not the "central focus" of the plot, if that makes sense. Like, it can be a pivotal part of their individual arcs, to allow themselves to express and accept love, but in the grand scheme of things there's OTHER arcs and plotlines going on! I love ALL the Champions, I love pretty much most of the characters! I wanna see Miphlink sure, but I especially love seeing Daruk like overcome a fear of harming people, pulling from his fear of dogs. I love seeing Revali learn to be more open and humble, more confident in his EMOTIONAL strength and not just his technical strength. I love seeing Zelda finally learn that people DO care about her, that she IS loved and can love in return in which THAT gives her at least a step towards unlocking her power.

I don't know if that made sense, hopefully I did. And I'm hopefully not dismissing the fics that ONLY focus on the Miphlink, like I said I eat that up! It's just that I really do love groups with MULTIPLE dynamics and relations and arcs, and oh it just so happens the two childhood best friends happen to love another and are happy and together, but in a semi lowkey way where they focus on one another, but also the other plotlines :)

22. Your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores?

This, once again, is a little hard to answer since as of now I've only played through the Wild Era of games, So I'm not super knowledgeable of the Zelda canon. I know the general stuff, but the more minute stuff? A little harder for me to answer.

I guess I'll be biased and say that people sometimes undermine Mipha's strength. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not fully convinced she's the strongest Champion when you have Urbosa who literally wields a Zora's weakness, and Link, who's quite literally "built different", but a LOT of people make the gap between her and her peers a little too wide. Especially considering that out of ALL of the BotW characters, the only one's who have canonically defeated a Guardian are Link, King Dorephan, and Mipha herself.

It is stated in game during The Champion's Ballad DLC that each Champion underwent Divine Beast Tamer Trials, and are the exact same one's that Link undergoes in the DLC. That means Mipha has canonically taken down FOUR Guardians at the same time, three flying ones and one ground mounted one.

Now, there is the argument that the Guardians may have been of lesser aggressive programing then the one's Ganon overtakes, but given that the one's Link fights in the DLC don't actually glow red, they aren't taken over by Ganon much like the one's in the shrine, meaning Mipha fought them at the EXACT same capacity Link did.

Another argument that could go against this that I'll address is Age of Calamity. In that game EVERY playable character can take out even the strongest of Guardians, and while I'm willing to believe some characters like Daruk, Urbosa, and maybe even Revali can take them, I think this falls more into gameplay mechanics to ensure every character has the overall same capacities, and therefor no character is at an utter disadvantage if a mission has Guardians. I approach this the same way as the flurry rush, in Canon I think only Link can actively do that move, as it is his special trait, but every playable character can do it mechanically just so they all have the same general controls. You cannot tell me in canon characters like Yunobo, Kohga, and Purah and Robbie can perform the EXACT same micro second dodge that Link can.

So, my little canon detail a lot of people overlook? Mipha's a LOT stronger than she appears. And while people who gravitate towards preferring her like the Mipha fans here and on Reddit may agree, most sites, which reminder YouTube for example has a MUCH larger userbase than us, most people tend to place her as the WEAKEST Champion. And I just can't agree.

...Maybe I'm just salty that I saw a YouTube poll of her being in dead last in terms of strength...

[smokerswifey]

Lmao first of all the second piece of att isn't fanart its called OFFICIAL art .

It means that hiro mashima drew it with his own two hands. There is literally his fucking signature. If Nalu was intended to be sibling coded wtf would the fucking author draw them holding each other close, looking up at each other adoringly with matching blushes on their face 💀.

Second it doesn't matter if heroes is linked to the main story or not tho, the few nalu moments that they had in it which was again written by the author are definitely not sibling coded anyways so again why would mashima write them acting all lovey dovey in a side story to write them as sibling coded in the anime, please make it make sense.

For the first last images you were right, I did forget the key of the starry heaven arc wasn't canon and I apologise.

And for the first screenshot are you kidding me cause wdym this moment isn't romantic ??

Sure natsu saying that he's to bring gray back isn't the romantic thing .

The romantic thing is their close proximity, how lucy seemed to freeze up a bit when Natsu got close to her, the long maintained eye contact and the blush on her cheeks like if you haven't managed to notice that idk what to say...

My intention was never to force Nalu on to you everyone is allowed to like and love what they want for example I hate the living hell put pf Natza.

However I don't appreciate you saying that the entirety of nalu is none consensual boob grabs and and making fun of the nalu fandom who probably showed you official arts which are again made by the author.

But fine if u want me to send u more canon stuff yo prove my point despite the first and second image being enough

Alll the things they have thought, said and did in these moments aren't things that siblings do....AT ALL!

If you actually think this is sibling coded well ummm...I'm so sorry ??

If you want an example of a sibling coded relationship with natsu try and take natsu and wendy and try and compare it with nalu and maybe then you'll finally understand lmao

Anyway's peace out anti !

anti nalu shipper: I don’t see it I think their sibling coded

Nalu shipper: eRm WeLl aCtuAllY *pulls out not canon fanarts, and random times where Lucy accidentally fell on him in a weird way.* s-See thIs is pRoOf thEir nOt siBling coded

Yeah because nonconsenual groping is so romantic (sarcasm)

[thevibraniumveterans]

Went on a small not-quite rant this weekend responding to a valid viewpoint about Marc and Layla’s breakup.

One of my group chat mates had stated:

“Yk i think we could do so much better if layla and marc's breakup was written better. When layla said- "i Dont want protection, i want honesty", as a way to establish why marc betrayal hurt her and Steven is better for her, i was like honey, reallllyyyy?! Do you realise what khonsu could do your mind+getting involved in the whole scarab hunt could straightup kill you+steven is cute but maybe deal with your divorce first? Like how do you fall out of love with Marc like that? I get that layla deserved to know the situation but that's not a good enough reason to breakup. More than anything i want a conversation bw both about the same. A proper breakup with palpable reasons. If i were layla i would eventually get back with marc cuz he did all that to protect me and offered to divorce me cuz he himself was partaking in lethal missions.”

She had a point! It’s valid, and I understand it. However, I respectfully disagree:

I'm not convinced Marc broke up with Layla. As far as I'm convinced, he still loves her. It's just that he can't really put forth his emotions, so due to whatever past trauma that led him to create Steven, Steven can handle all the emotions Marc can't. I am aware that Marc was pushing Layla away, not because he doesn't like her, he does! A lot! He loves her! But he wants her to be safe. Like I've said, she's only human, and therefore vulnerable. She can take care of herself just fine, hence “I don't need protection", but that's the thing, isn't it? She's just human. Marc has endured far worse. Why on this great green earth would he want her to experience what he has experienced?

Out of concern for her safety, Marc emotionally distances himself his wife because he knows Khonshu will pick her to be the next Avatar. Because Layla is the love of Marc’s life, Layla has inadvertently become some kind of a liability. Marc’s weak link. To him, if he severed that link, then therefore Layla is safe. It pained Marc, I’m sure, to hand his wife the divorce papers. I don’t think the divorce actually went through (“You sent these papers but you never signed them,” Layla says to who she thought was Marc (but was actually Steven) in Ep 2). Because when Marc confronts Steven in the tent and says, “Are you in love with my wife?”, Marc doesn’t say ex-wife. Remember Ep3, when Marc sees Layla in danger? He’s got that “touch her, and I’ll kill you so hard your ancestors wish they were never born” look in his eyes. Marc isn’t selfish. If anything, he’s selfless.

Marc’s desire to protect Layla stemmed from his guilty conscience over his inability to save her father. He wants to protect her in the only way he knows how - by emotionally distancing himself from her. I don’t think it’s bad writing because Marc and Layla have not broken up. There is so much evidence they still love each other, just not in the typical couples way where they’re all lovey-dovey over each other, and this is exactly where, and when, Steven comes in. Steven embodies everything Layla loves about Marc, hence why she falls for him. She likes so many of the same things he likes, hence why Steven falls in love with her. Steven falling in love with Layla can represent a scenario under which Marc wished he had fallen in love with Layla.

Marc’s entire relationship with Layla was formed solely because he wanted her to be okay. He had nearly died, and was resurrected by Khonshu and served under him, and so, by doing all these dangerous things, Layla wanted to be with Marc wherever he went. But for an ordinary but strong woman like Layla to be involved with powers beyond her grasp, Marc does not want any of that harsh life for Layla. He loves her so much, but he can’t deal with her being his emotional liability. It’s not that she’s getting in his way, he feels that the best way she can stay safe is to be emotionally distant from him. And I feel like there’s been some subtle character development for Marc all this time that Steven’s been in the driver’s seat. Let’s revisit that tent scene-

Marc stated point-blank, “I wish I could just disappear, I really do.” You know why he feels that way? He knows he carries the guilty conscience of not being able to save Layla’s dad. He wishes he could just disappear so he wouldn’t have to deal with this. It sounds harsh, but that’s why Steven’s here, isn’t he? Marc also tells Steven, “If you're gonna go through with this, you gotta be smart, for Layla's sake.” Marc loves Layla, that much is clear. Since Steven will not relinquish control of his body to Marc, best Marc can do is tell Steven to please take care of Layla. Because Marc can’t do that. Not really. Steven can, though.

Marc, in trying to protect Layla from the kind of person he is/was, that being an internationally wanted mercenary who kills to live, quite literally, it’s not a safe environment for Layla. She’s proven time and time again she can stand her ground, but she’s only human. She has no suit, no healing powers. She’s vulnerable. And Marc wants to protect her. The only way he can do that is by being emotionally distant. Let’s rewind a bit to the scene in the car.

Layla sounded hurt when she wondered why Marc would just want to disappear. It’s clear that she still loves him. Even Marc states yet again, “that deal didn't involve you getting Layla and us killed, did it? That's not gonna fly with me.” Layla being in danger is the Number One Thing that Marc does not want to happen. Even when Steven asks, “Well, hadn't he disappeared from your life already?” And Layla responds, “Yeah. I mean, whatever. His suit was his best feature, wasn't it? Didn't even have that anymore.”, she’s not entirely convinced that she’s over him, because she’s very much not. She’s trying to deny that Marc’s absence is affecting her, but she can’t. Let’s get back to the other half of the tent convo for a bit… (where after Marc says, “I’ve been in situations like this before”, the conversation continues…)-

The hilarity of Marc being jealous over Steven falling in love with Layla aside, it’s actually pretty deep with meaning. Marc wants to protect Layla but he can either do that, or he would’ve been dead. (Perhaps in trying to both save Layla’s dad and trying to protect her, resulted in Marc being shot and subsequently resurrected. But we’ll see.) His servitude to Khonshu is the reason why he pushes his wife away. She’s not getting in his way, but he’s only concerned for her safety. So, before Steven and Layla head into the tomb…

I’ve pointed this out before- Steven can give Layla what she never got (or stopped getting) from Marc. Steven is everything that Layla loves about Marc, but without Marc in the picture, he can’t protect Layla, but Steven can. Layla first moves in for a kiss, but before she can do so…

Layla feels that she wasn’t getting honesty from Marc - and the only reason why he’s hiding things from her is to keep her safe. Remember how Marc told Steven that getting Layla killed wouldn’t “fly” with him and that he’d never let that happen? Stuck in the passenger seat, all Marc can do in between punching Steven for kissing Layla and helping Steven in the tomb, is ruminate. Reflect. Let’s get to that scene.

Notice how Marc’s tone went from assertive (“Steven, give me the body right now. This is a suicide mission.”) to one of resigned acceptance. Marc’s not even angry anymore. He’s not even mad anymore. And while Marc could not apologize for being involved in the murder of Layla’s dad, Steven apologized instead, not knowing Marc’s story:

I’m aware “I’m sorry” is a standard response to being told of someone’s death, but here it holds special meaning because Steven apologized where Marc could not do so, hence why Marc had time to really think it over, realize that Steven can be for Layla what Marc couldn’t be. It’s not bad writing. It’s complicated. It was meant to be complicated. A married man coming to terms with the fact that one of his alters is falling in love with his wife, it sounds hilarious but it’s also such a good way of saying, “here, I’ll take care of her for you. You need me, I need you. We need each other. She needs me, she needs you. And you’re not always there for her. In your absence, I’ll love her for you.” And this is precisely what Marc learns to accept.* It’s an unconventional relationship, but it’s a beautiful story. At first I was laughing my head off at the brilliant absurdity of it, but then I realized, hey, it’s deeper than I thought. And it’s off-the-walls wonderful.

* It also kind of explains why both the physical manifestations of Marc and Steven were so relieved to see each other towards the end.

Tear Drop Theory!

This post contains spoilers of Yuno's newest MV, Tear Drop! It also includes topics of abortion, be safe ♡

Before we begin, I would like to specify that I am EXTREMELY pro-choice and use the word 'murder' to describe abortion purely for convenience

I've seperated this post into sections to make it easier to read, there will also be a TLDR at the end :)

I believe Yuno's murder to be abortion, the reason being to free herself from a client who had fallen in love with her.

Umbilical: First verse - Before Second Chorus

Let's begin with Umbilical, Yuno's first song. Yuno appears to have multiple facades she uses for her compensated dating, as well as a 'true self' that we see alot of in Tear Drop, and very rarely in Umbilical. Umbilical is almost entirely from the perspective of her date persona, specifically the one that wears a middle schooler outfit.

Yuno is first seen sitting at the bottom of some stairs, holding a blown up yet empty balloon. She looks distant and uninterested in the world around her before noticing someone, smiling to herself and getting into position to meet them. We're then cut to Yuno standing on a train, the lyrics talking cutely about how she can't get someone out of her head- until that same person approaches her and her demeanour changes. She wonders why they're here and thinks they're annoying, yet forces a smile and quickly goes back to the more cute lyrics.

We see her go on 4 dates with very different people, all in which she seems happy and continues her lovey dovey words. In one of the dates she goes on, she wears the middle schooler outfit again, linking that specific date/person she's dating with the rest of the mv where she's seen wearing it. It's important to note that she uses the words "Just the two of us, I feel a little tingle inside" in the chorus despite clearly going on dates with multiple men- our first sign that she doesn't 100% mean what she's telling them and is putting on an act. We also get our first mention of warmth, "Just me alone, the warmth starts fading away. Let's reload the warmth." Yuno is then seen sitting on her bed, again in the middle schooler outfit, wondering what type of girl her client likes- and deciding it's too hard for her to act like that for him. And then we see her go on more dates- and we're now at the same time as Tear Drop takes place!

Tear Drop: First Verse - First Chorus

Tear Drop starts with Yuno opening her eyes as a tear drop falls into some water, before she's seen walking in heels and- cut to the second set of dates seen in Umbilical! Specifically the first one we see- Yuno in her middle school outfit on a date eating desserts, and receiving a gift from her date/client- a bunny plush! And not just any plush, but the one we saw in this Yuno's first set of dates when they went to a toy shop. He saw she liked that specific one and bought it for her, and she happily receives it. Then- the date comes to an end. They finish eating and she receives her money for the date.

The lyrics here first appear to be from Middle School Outfit Yuno "The wanted wanting the wanter, the overlap, isn't that some kind of perfection?" I don't think Yuno genuinely loves this client, (since she's clearly the wanted), but instead loves the warmth she gets from him. She goes along with his love at first, enjoying the love, but as the date goes on she starts to lose her composure. ""Poor naive little girl"? So off the mark, what's it to you?" The compliments he gives her start to get under her skin. She doesn't view herself the way he views her- she's putting on an act after all. But he genuinely thinks this is how she is, and he's inlove with it. Going back to what was said at the start of Umbilical, he's been meeting her outside the paid date times. He wants her to love him back, and while she pretends she does it isn't enough for him- he wants to end these dates and become her official lover. She doesn't want that at all. This causes her 'true' personality to come forth- cat girl!

Cat Yuno starts yelling at a rabbit plush (in her mind), notably a different one from the one he gave her. The gift bunny is yellow with floppy ears, this rabbit is white with ears that stand up. Considering that the rabbit sits infront of Cat Yuno the way Middle School Yuno, it's safe to assume that this rabbit is a stand in for the client that loves her. This rabbit also wears glasses, specifically rose tinted ones. For those unaware, to say someone is wearing rose tinted glasses is to say that they're only seeing the good things in a situation and not the bad, intentionally or not. Cat Yuno is specifically yelling at her client about this, yelling about how his innocent perception of her is wrong "Feeling magnanimous? Innocent? I'm so not that. Just shut it, will you? You know-it-all" Obviously she's referring to her Milgram judgment as well, but it's clear that she's talking about this guy's view of her since he's the one she's yelling at and I doubt they'd make a song where the lyrics only refer to the Milgram judgment and nothing else. This is shown even more in how her client is represented as a rabbit while her true self is seen as a cat, as in Yuno's eyes, she's the one in control and the one with power, her client is just her prey for her to use.

Middle School Yuno is shown on a bed with her arm streched outwards to someone, which we assume is her client until Cat Yuno instead walks over the camera and falls down onto the bed in Middle School Yuno's embrace. This further shows that Yuno truly doesn't have any genuine love for her clients, that she only sees herself in these relationships. She's only using them for the warmth they give her. Despite this, as they both cuddle, another tear drop falls, that we again don't actually see Yuno cry.

Tear Drop: Second Verse - Second Chorus

Yuno is once again infront on the rabbit client, looking quite annoyed at the whole situation she's in. She's shown from the perspective of the client in his rose tinted glasses, which she takes off and places ontop of her own head. I believe this to be her trying to take control of the way he views her, but instead accidentally putting a constant reminder of how he views her on herself. She keeps singing about her dislike of him and his views "Caressing me with your "Good girl". Who needs your self-righteous pardon?" Before being quickly thrown into dates with the other clients. She takes up the persona of what each client likes easily, proving to herself that she's not the woman her rabbit client believes she is and bragging about how she's "the one who chose, let you and you and you all in" once again showing her need to fell in control of her job and her disdain for the client trying to stop her dates and have her under his control.

She switches through the different personas with ease, until we expect Middle School Yuno to show up, who is instead replaced with Cat Yuno. At first I thought this was her true self slipping through the cracks as she struggles to be around the rabbit client, but I believe this to be a conscious decision on her part, trying to once again take control of the way he views her and subtlety show him that she's putting on an act, which is why Middle School Yuno suddenly appears and quickly brushes Cat Yuno off- but ofcourse he is still viewing her as innocent and sweet, as every red flag looks like any other flag when views through rose tinted glasses.

We move onto the chorus and Cat Yuno is surrounded by her other personas. They're all posed with eachother and looking directly at the camera with a smile, she's proud of herself for making these personas and wants to show them off for other clients to come and buy. She sings "If you want "me", come marco, I'll polo". Notice how the word 'me' is in quotations, as the person she's trying to sell isn't actually her but the ones she's putting on. Marco Polo is a type of water game, in which one person has to close their eyes in a swimming pool and find the other players, and whenever that person shouts "Marco", the other players trying to hide from them have to shout "Polo". This is referencing that the rabbit client is trying to find her true self but can't actually see who this 'true self' actually is, and once again showing how Yuno is trying to hint to him that she isn't the innocent girl he thinks she is, but instead just acting, by shouting "Polo" instead of just coming up to him herself. Cat Yuno has been wearing lingerie this entire video, yet suddenly starts to feel cold and shiver. Middle School Yuno covers her with a jacket, most likely her clients jacket, warming her up. This situation is starting to get under Cat Yuno's skin, taking her mind off her dates and instead making her think about uncomfortable things, making the warmth start to leave her. Despite this, because the rabbie client loves her so much, he puts the most effort into the dates and giving her the most warmth. This is why she's trying to get him to stop getting into her daily life instead of just cutting him off, as he's still a valuable source of warmth to her.

Tear Drop: Bridge - Final Chorus

Quickly going back to Umbilical, we see Yuno on the other dates shown in the second half of the song. We're getting to see these now, instead of just focusing on the first date of the second half, with Middle School Yuno. In Umbilical, the first half of dates is sung normally and cutely. The second half however, while still having cute lyrics, has a harsher and colder Yuno singing quietly underneath the normal singing. Here in Tear Drop we see Yuno on these days, losing her smile and singing "Desire, bestow, and desire again. The episode reloading on an endless loop. The fading warmth makes me anxious again". Yuno is struggling to keep warmth, as however quickly she receives it, the rabbit client situation quickly drains it. She is afraid that her rabbit client may follow her and interrupt her daes with her other clients, and her dislike of him is seeping into every area of her life, not just the dates she has with him. She is no longer able to quickly move from persona to persona, and the coldness is affecting her other dates, not just the ones she has with the rabbit, and her inability to keep up her facade is quickly fading, as we see her final date at the karaoke place, her tied up hair falls out into Cat Yuno's hairstyle. This is also the first time in the song we see the real world and not the cute world Cat Yuno lives in, showing how everything has gotten to real for her and how she's struggling to retreat into her happy place. And finally "Tear drops succumb and fall", we see Yuno unable to hide her tears for the first time.

Cat Yuno is shown sitting in her headspace, which is now much darker in colour. She sits infront of the circle windows which flash different colours until- bars appear on the windows. Specifically bars that look alot like how a positive pregnancy test in Japan looks like (credit to @snakeroll for pointing that out!). We see that multiple windows have these lines in, not just two as a normal test would look like, implying that with the result and took many tests in her panic, all coming back positive. This is the same time as in Umbilical that Yuno is singing "I messed up, I found out." in a panicked and quiet voice, futher showing how she doesn't want this pregnancy and how she wasn't expecting this. Considering how the rabbit client was constantly trying to get into her daily life and make her only date him, and how she most definitely uses protection as she's having sex often on these dates, it seems as though he probably tried to trap her by impregnating her, hence the positive test looking like jail bars.

Now we're back in the happy bright headspace with Cat Yuno, who is so cold that she's taken the fetus position to try and warm herself up. There's a lack of other Yunos there to help her as she's grown to cold to conjure them up. The fetus position also once again confirms she's pregnant, and shows how the rabbit clients view of her is breaking her down. We know he views her as weak, naive, innocent and cute, and he makes her wear a childs uniform on their dates, she feels as though he views her as a child, which is probably correct. She slowly sits up while repeating the first chorus, asking him to stop forcing her into truly being how she acts, however with the more solemn tone that she sings it in, it feels more like pleading. His jacket slips off her, and she looks over at the rose tinted glasses that have fallen off her head, the thing that started everything. She considers her options- maybe she should just accept everything and put on the glasses herself. Maybe she should just keep trying to act her way out of it and give him hints that don't work. Maybe, she should just give up on him and finally cut him off. He's no longer giving her the warmth and is just making her colder afterall. So in rage, she throws the glasses across the room, shattering them and telling him to shut up.

The glasses shatter as the second chorus plays again, and this time she starts destroying everything around her, symbolising her 'destroying' the baby and their relationship completely, all with a huge smile on her face. She sheds the jacket he gave her, smiling, glowing and revelling in the newfound freedom she has. She lies down in her headspace with a happy and satisfied look on her face, once again using his jacket as warmth- the time, however, getting the warmth from cutting free from him instead of being tied with him. In Umbilical, the lyric of the first chorus "Our love links us together" changes into "Our desire links us together", showing how she only wanted these relationships for the sexual warmth, and realising that pretending to truly love him back was only hurting her more. The mv ends with her completely covering herself in this warmth, and finally, no more tear drops fall down her face.

Extra Details

At 2:15 of Tear Drop, Yuno is seen on her date in the car, her hand covering her forehead and holding a bottle of water. I'm assuming this is her experiencing the first symptoms of pregnancy sickness.

Yuno covers "The Vampire" this time round, and it's even shown in the mv at the karaoke place. While the covers are not canon, they're obviously chosen for a reason. I believe this to be Yuno believing she is like a vampire, seducing these men and taking their warmth for her own gain, not actually caring about them. In the last chorus of The Vampire, the singer realises that her partner was also draining her, like Yuno does with her client. Unlike The Vampire however, instead of falling inlove at this moment she pushes him away, still only caring for herself and not wanting to be drained like ahe drains others.

True Yuno is depicted as a cat, and while I believe its referencing her viewing herself as a predator to her clients, as I said early, I feel like I should mention that to describe someone as "catty", means to say they are purposely hurtful in what they say, which links to True Yuno looking down on her clients and insulting them in her head.

I haven't seen a TL for her voice drama yet, so if anything in that debunks this... oops!

TLDR:

Yuno is faced with a client who loves her and pressures her to be the way he views her 24/7, wanting her to stop going on dates and to be with him. Yuno is putting on an act with him, as she does with every one of her dates, and cannot be the pure girl he thinks she is- nor does she want to be. He gives her the most warmth so she puts up with it, but after the situation starts interfering with her other dates and he tries to baby trap her, she aborts the child and cuts him off.

[miraculousamara]

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

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

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

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

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

Cameron's POV:

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

"Agreste, Adrien." She says

"You say present." I hear Nino whisper

Adrien jumps up and raises his hand.

"PRESENT!" He yells

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

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

"Um Bourgeois, Cameron." She says

"Present." I say

"Bourgeois,Chloe." She says

"Present." Chloe says

"Um Bruel, Ivan?" She asks

Suddenly the door is knocked down.

"PRESENT!" Stoneheart bellows.

"Stoneheart?" I say

"MYLENE!" He shouts and grabs her

"Let me go Ivan." She says

"I'm Stoneheart now." He says

"Why are you doing this?" Mylene asks

"So we can be together forever." He says

I see Chloe on her phone.

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

"Daddy! The monster is back!" Chloe says

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

Stoneheart breaks a wall, and jumps out with us.

"Put us down Ivan!" Mylene says

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

"You are so utterly ridiculous Cameron!" Chloe says

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

"Everything!" Chloe yells

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

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

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

"Cat Noir!" I say relieved

He hits Stoneheart and he grows.

"My bad.." he says

"You mean the super incompetent!" Chloe says

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

"Please save us Cat Noir." I say

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

"Watch out!" Mylene says

"Where are we going Ivan?" She asks

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

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

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

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

At the Eiffel Tower

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

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

"Help!" I yell

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

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

Ladybug catches us.

"I didn't promise." Chloe says

"What?" Ladybug says

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

We hug him.

"My little princesses." He says

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

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

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

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

Well that's just rude.

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

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

"Daddy.. what is that?" I ask

"I wish I knew." He says honestly

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

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

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

"Oh shut up Cameron." Chloe says

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

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

"They've caused damage?!" I shout

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

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

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

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

Wow she's so cool!

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

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

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

"Yes Hawkmoth!" He says

"Help me!" I hear Mylene shout.

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

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

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

A parachute falls into her hand.

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

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

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

"I sure hope so!" Ladybug says

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

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

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

The black butterfly flies out.

"De-evilize!" She says

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

"Cat Noir! Get Ivan!" Ladybug says

"Cataclysm!" He yells

He slides down the Eiffel Tower with Ivan.

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

"Bye bye little butterfly.."

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

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

"Wow this is Amazing!" Cat Noir says

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

------

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

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

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

The Next Day, at school

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

Marinette and Alya enter the classroom.

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

I smirk lightly.

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

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

Maybe she's right...

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

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

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

I stand up.

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

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

Everyone gasps shocked.

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

Everyone starts clapping.

I blush when I realize I said I everything.

"Take that back now!" Chloe says

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

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

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

All the other students laugh at her..

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

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

"Really?" She asks

"Yeah." I say smiling again

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

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

After class

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

"You know what Chloe.." I say

"Bring it on." I say

[cloudywithachanceofwatering]

because of this idea , maybe lance has a tumblr and the article link was on his dashboard because ... pidge has a tumblr and posted the link there . and so lance read it because if he was a cat , curiousity was his wife .

also tumbly did a glitch and deleted my prev thing i was going to post right there and then , so this is a nice relaxing moment . it's also a tad bit inapproriate . whoops .

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

lserranonce here , put some emphasis on nonce , this is a joke and i want to absolutely destroy both my heritage and my will to live because I HAVE BEEN SUDDENLY FEATURED IN A FAMOUS WEBSITE THATS RIGHT I AM IN PAIN AND NOBODY CAN HEAL ME except for h e r .

so basicaally not going to reblog the link but it came onto my dashboard and because i know hunk's a science junkie working on it , i took a look and ohmygodohmygodit'stheprettygirlnextdoorvibes . LISTEN , i do not consider myself a lovey dovey extra shovey person , but LISTEN .

the audacity of this woman . i love it . the boldness of this woman and her stupidity bubbling up higher than her smarts . i love it . the comments under the article seal the deal , she lITERAlLY exPOSED WHAT WE DID . and that's why i'm writing this out of spite .

SO LIKE , we went to the cliff above the beach site and sat next to the tree and talked for a long long time before i suddenly remembered i HAD to teach her at the place with music and all . so we bolted down , her skirt just flowing so nicely behind her . like , she was wearing this amazing strapless mermaid style on that was super lightweight [ i don't know how ] and in this velvet green somehow stretchy material and it flowed seamlessly . and it had such a cute sweetheart neckline that , not going to lie , was kind of low and it made it blush a bit but THAT'S NOT THE POINT THE POINT IS THAT SHE SOMEHOW MADE IT WORK WHEN CHA CHA AND DANCE REV REVOLution .

she's a short girl , so i think she got it altered - the start of the actual mermaiding is higher up than a actual mermaid dress , like starting halfway down her thigh but it worked well for the dancing . she had velvet green peep-toe heels to match her dress , and to my absolute sadistical dismay , somehow managed to dance flawlessly in them without death and or nor destruction and chaos .

her figure was so wonderful - i never realized how curvy she was . sure , she might not say good things about it , but her waist is very nicely proportionate , as compared to ... instagra - this isn't a callout post . please stop , lance . but she's a short coke bottle - not very busty but not very lacking in the lower region . and i find it endearing . my arm fits perfectly around her waist and sits comfortably on her hip - that's what matters . a good girlfriend-boyfriend pose . not that we're dating anyway . uhm . UHM . she kinda thick though , not going to lie that booty big .

iiiii will admit , had given her a few rings to stack [ as well as a velvet green choker that , quite embarassingly , says ... bad thing ... in superscript - we were drunk and amazon is NOT our friend ] and all of them were flowery and SHE WORE THEM TO DANCE WITH THe choker too . unfortunately .

for the record , she got one that was blue velvet and said ... male equivilant of bad thing ... on it when she was sober . so you cannot say much about it to me . do not ask about my censorship , please .

i wore just a plain and simple tux because i'm broke and also because i'm too busy to go shopping . but she elevated my substandard self by a few thousand miles - i love her immensely , she is the apple to my genetics , because apple seeds are whack and so are we .

ENOUGH ABOUT CUTE GIRL BODY AND CLOTHES !! ONTO THE DINNER DATE !! yes - i shall call it a date . i am deprived of love , both self-love and her love .

we went dance dancing and i twirled her around too hard once and everything FLIPPED UP and i saw her smooth pale legs and i will never ever mention how absolutely devastating it was that i never got to touch them in that moment . i pulled a p***ge there , see what i did ? and that's not her legit name - it's way cuter and so much more adorably stupid . is ' adorably ' even a word ? i might be a literature major but i work at a hotel , so you have no opinion . anyway , it was a fun time laughing about it and carrying her bridal style down the beach .

she learnt the dances all so fast- it surprised me , because she told me she'd never really danced much . she does skate though , and those thighs really do look like skater thighs . that woman's got a strong ego and a strong attraction i have for her . eventually both of us were just stumbling wildly and people were staring as if we were drunkards , so dinner time it was - at ... 8pm . a tad bit late .

we had a nice dinner in a corner together , pasta and churros . she's from ITALY !!! THAT'S AMORE !!! and it felt good , like hella really bella good - it felt as if everything went melty like cheese and it was just me and her and fifteen churros . shut up , we did not go overboard , your opinion is WRONG . lots of cinnanon-sugar coated churros and yummy yummy carbonaras later , a possiblity of actual drunkness arose and uh . yeah she headed back to the hotel room with me and i will no longer comment on the events that occured after which .

we cuddled afterwards , and her legs really are smooth , even though it's concerningly pale . maybe we should go swimming instead , next time . there was a lot of sweet lovey dovey extra shovey things and a lot of hugging . definitely that . it was nice the tangle our legs together and just sleep next to each other for a night . and to my surprise , nobody woke me up via cell phone - i mean , they probably knew what was going on , veronica is stealthy and has a big mouth ...

i tried to give her as much attention - not just out of this situation - but i truly hopes she notices my senpai-ing and owos towards her , because she really is a specimen of horror , pain and lust . don't take lust too wrong . okay , maybe take it wrong .

it was a slight surprise to find a few stray marks on me - she's a small girl and tHAT'S WHY . I DID NOT KNOW TEENSY BABY HAD STRENGTH . she did get the worst of the night though - still pretty tired , and i can't blame her much , i felt the same after my first time .

My first ask to Seeds! Lance is Hotel Manager, Pidge is a Renowned Travel Journalist who frequents said Hotel. Lance wants her to write a feature on his Hotel, but for some reason, she refuses. Looking forward to what becomes of this idea.

This is a little off topic but imagine this as the beginning of the build up.

Unspecified Research Trip 3: Week 1: Day 1

It’s a statistically beautiful day here in Varadero, Cuba.

“Varadero again?” You query. “I thought you hated humid weather and too much sun?”

Your observations are indeed correct.
