#I’ve waited seven years for this

[atlasshrugd]

With the reversal of the love square finally happening, it’s clear that Mari would feel more comforted by Chat’s love than Adrien’s for a change. For her whole life as Ladybug, she has felt that people love and listen to Ladybug because she is perfect and makes no mistakes, so when Chat loved Ladybug, she felt he didn’t really love her bc he didn’t really know her. She used to wish people would see and like Marinette for a change. But now...

Ladybug just made the biggest mistake of her career. She is struggling to have faith in herself or even trust herself. She feels so alone in her failure and she knows people blame her. Now, all she wants is for people to see and trust Ladybug. And the one person who has always done that, through success and failure, was Chat Noir. His love for her kept her strong, because it was the one thing that never changed and she could always rely on.

Adrien’s love for Marinette stresses her out rather than comforts her. Aside from knowing she can’t be with anyone, Mari doubts that she even knows him or that he even knows her. It’s a reversal in more ways than one. Whereas she believed Chat only liked the facade of her, she realised he loved the whole her. And now that Adrien loves her, she believes he only likes the fake her — because now she has to pretend more as Marinette than she ever did with Ladybug.

Ladybug wasn’t only crying about Chat’s rejection in Determination. She was crying at the realisation that she had done the one thing she swore never to do. Fall in love with Chat Noir. Not only can’t she be with anyone while she’s guardian, she knows the events of Cat Blanc and that their love destroys the world. Not only did Ladybug fail to protect the miraculous, but she went ahead and failed further by falling in love with someone she can never be with. Her crying in Determination is one of mourning and devastation. Now, she knows she doesn’t even have Chat’s love anymore. They are stronger than ever as partners, but her heart cries out. She realises she needs him and has always relied on him, and he’s always been there through every mistake of hers, always believing in her.

In honor of the dog man trailer dropping I immediately ran to draw captain underpants and dog man characters!!

So enjoy these drawings! (I think it’s a little obvious which one I spent the most time on💀)

Also I have no idea why the quality on George and Harold lowered?



I started working on these as soon as the trailer dropped and I finished them finally after like.. 2-3 days I think? I already forgot lol. I’m definitely most proud of Krupp and cap! My boys ❤️❤️

yet again feeling like… I don’t know, my gender and sense of self is like 75 degrees out of sync with what it’s “supposed” to be and surprised at how little I relate to a lot of discussion of transmasculinity On Here

I looove (/s) how streaming is a thing now and new movies could soooooooo easily be made accessible but they still aren’t. And it’s not about profit. They’ve proven they can put up a paywall for new content and do just fine. It really just feels like a huge fuck you to disabled people, as usual.

The people in my life who are waiting for the English episodes to watch ML had better be so proud of me for the incoherent screaming and shouting and gifs and memes I am very carefully not sending them so they don’t get spoiled.

This is literally the hardest it has ever been not to say anything I am being so brave.

[one-hell-of-a-moth]

Do I have exams next week? Yeah.

Am I gonna watch the new season tomorrow. Also yeah.

Nanny Danny

“That is a whole ass baby,” was the only thought running through Lex Luthor’s head when the scientist proudly showed him the tube containing Project KR. It was not remotely the sort of thing he would normally think and most definitely not what he had expected to be thinking the first time he saw the clone.

He’d been pleased when he’d read the reports indicating the success of KR after years of failures. Lex had poured millions of dollars and literally his own blood into ensuring a clone of the alien could be made, one that would be under his total control instead of the unknown aspirations of Superman.  He’d wanted to see the fruits of his labors personally but this…

It. No, not an it. He scrunched his tiny face and smacked his lips and…did he smirk? Was that HIS SMIRK on that baby’s face?! No. No. Babies this small didn’t smile or smirk. They passed gas and their sleep deprived and addled parents mistook it for an intelligent response. He’d heard enough inane conversations in the Lexcorp office about the various progeny of his employees to pick up on that but still. This child had Kryptonian DNA, not to mention his own contribution. Surely, he was far more advanced than the dribbling potato shaped lump of an infant whose pictures he’d been forced to smile and nod over when Mark from accounting had rudely shoved them in his face at the last quarterly budget meeting. Yes, that was definitely a smirk. His, that was his smirk.

“So as you can see its growth is well within expected parameters and we’re planning to start phase one of accelerating the maturation process tomorrow once the testing is do-”

“Take him out.”

“Sir? The testing can all be accomplished while it remains in the tube. There’s no need to-”

“I said, take him out. The project is cancelled.”

“What?! Mr. Luthor you can’t!”

“I think you’ll find I can. Now get me my son.”

*****

Two years later

“Call them again”

“Sir, I’ve called them seven times. They won’t answer.”

“Then call another agency!”

“There isn’t another agency, Sir”

Lex glared at his assistant who stared back at him impassively. Mercy stood by the door staring off into the distance and pretending she didn’t notice him being bested by his own secretary.

He stopped himself from shouting again and took a deep breath before asking, “Then what, exactly, do you propose I do Mrs. Anderson? Adjust my entire schedule around naptimes? Find a toddler size lab coat and safety goggles and bring my son with me to tour the new clean energy project on Thursday? Perhaps buy a tiny business suit while I’m at it for the next board meeting?”

“I’m not suggesting anything of the sort, Mr. Luthor. I’m telling you that no childcare agency in Metropolis will return my calls anymore. Most won’t even answer.  You’ve gone through 27 nannies in the last 3 months. You need someone better suited to your son’s…special needs.”

Lex snorted. “Special needs might be a bit of understatement. He can lift a car over his head and his favorite word right now is No.”

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. “Thank you for…clarifying the situation, Marjorie. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

His secretary didn’t move. She looked at him like she was waiting for something and now that he was paying attention, he saw she was holding a file.  “Did you have a suggestion?”

Looking pleased with herself she responded, “Actually, yes, I did.”

“Well?”

She set the file on his desk and flipped it open. He looked down at the first page and raised an eyebrow, “What am I looking at here?”

“This,” she responded pulling out the top set of papers and spreading them out, “is the employee file and background check for Daniel J. Fenton, an intern that started in our engineering department about 4 months ago. He has one sibling, two parents and several close friends he regularly meets with. His current supervisor has nothing but good things to say about him and reports he gets along well with all his coworkers.”

She set out the next set of papers, neatly arranging them on the desk to be easily seen. “These are newspaper articles and screenshots of social media posts regarding a small town vigilante locally known as Phantom. The same small town, Mr. Fenton is from coincidentally. Also coincidentally, Phantom made his first appearance only a few weeks after Mr. Fenton was involved in a minor accident in his parent’s home laboratory when he was 14, the medical records for the incident are included.”

“Hmm,” Lex said observing several photos of Phantom and a younger Fenton arranged in order of similar poses and facial expressions and printed out side by side.

“Finally,” she said handing him the last set of papers directly, “this would be a report from the lab Mr. Fenton works in from an incident that happened yesterday. A test with a new protype went wrong and started a fire. Everyone evacuated per protocol when the alarms went off but one of the other interns was working on a programming issue off to the side of the lab while wearing headphones and didn’t hear the alarm or notice the fire. Mr. Fenton noticed his absence and returned to the lab to get him out.” She stopped talking and let him look at the last several pages in the file, a series of photographs of the lab.

“Is this ice?”

“Yes, it is. It’s several inches thick and covers half of the lab. It completely put out the fire leaving minimal damage.”

“This machine was moved?”

“It was. It was very close to the flames and would have required replacement if exposed to extreme heat or cold. That particular piece of equipment also weighs several thousand pounds and was bolted to the floor.”

Lex read through everything in detail then clasped his hands under his chin and stared at the photo of Daniel Fenton for several moments before turning back to his waiting secretary.

“Have HR send Mr. Fenton up. I’d like to offer him a promotion.”

Did I spend twenty minutes this morning complaining that my science and social studies lessons are terrible because there are too many new curriculums to try to learn, and so planning for science and social studies falls on the back burner every week? Yes. Did my AP hear those complaints? Yes. Did she still observe me right after lunch during one of the aforementioned social studies lessons? Also yes. Why can no one ever come in during the lessons I work really hard on?
