#Lila rossi for the win

[saturnrin]

I love the idea that everything (positive) that Lila lies about somehow comes true for Marinette.

Lila lies about having connections to the queen of England? Suddenly, Marinette is getting regular commissions from the queen herself and forms quite the acquaintance-ship w the royal family.

Lila "is practically family" to an Italian mafia? Marinettes grandmother has quite an eccentric background, and through her, Marinette somehow manages to get a local Italian Mafia to pseudo-adopt her. (Only because she refused to actually be adopted, much to their disappointment)

Lila "went on tour" with Jagged Stone? Guess who wants his favorite designer to accompany him for his U.S. tour during the summer?

Oh, Lila says she acted in a movie for Graham de Vanily Films? Guess who ends up accidentally staring in a Graham de Vanily film?

I just want all the positive things that Lila lies about to happen to Marinette, who is sufficiently surprised every time (you'd think she'd be used to it by now), meanwhile, in the background, Lila gets progressively more pissed.

And the worst part? Every time she tries to upstage Marinette with something even bigger and grander than Marrinettes' own accomplishments? No matter how ridiculous, Marinette somehow ends up stumbling upon That. Exact. Opportunity.

It's incredibly frustrating.

You could say Marinette has some miraculous luck, despite how adamantly Tikki denies any involvement in these increasingly ridiculous turns of events.

All in all; Lila is frustrated, Marinette is frustrated, and Tikki is very amused (as are Adrien and Plagg, who watch this shit-show from the background).

I actually meant to ask about the one where Lila gets the Ladybug Miraculous, I wanted to save the serial killer for tomorrow... And I added a "future" for some reason, causing confusion.

Well then, I'll ask about the Lilabug & Marinette AU now.

Oh sorry, sorry! I thought you asked abt the serial killer Au! My bad! So, the Lilabug Au! Basically it's what it says on the tin! Lila arrives in Paris early, and Fu comes across her while searching for compatible Miraculous Holders. The reason why he senses her is because Lila would be an excellent Fox, but Fu can't tell specifically which Miraculous she has affinity with. So he pulls his scheme with Truck-Kun, and Lila saves his life. Because you know, there's people recording the damn incident and she wants fame!

Also, Lila is extremely (read: canon levels) cynical in this Au, and generally abhorbs being around other human beings. Sure, she'll play the happy-go-lucky new girl from Italy and smile sweetly at people all day, but she secretly hates every second of it. Anyway, Lila will later find a pair of magic earrings in her bag because she wanted to go viral. Is this Fu Bashing for picking that testing method out of every option? Sure. Will I salt the man? Nah, we have yuri to write!

Anyway, the rest of Origins goes normally, except Lila is also there, sweet-talking her way into sitting at the back of the class and away from all these weirdos. This will be important later. Anyway, Chloe bla blas about Adrien, gum on the seat, etc. Then Stoneheart happens, which also paints a big target on Marinette's back as the local goody-two-shoes! Lila doesn't plan to bully her though, no no. Being her friend is the better option, because she doesn't think Marinette will have the spine to accuse her of lying then. Totally not for the free bakery sweets!

Anyway, Stoneheart! Paris' resident furry is right on cue, and Lila gets an unwanted moral compass in the form of adorable Eldritch Deity! Tikki absolutely hates her btw, since Lila doesn't create anything of her own except lies. Still, they have a city to save and once our beloved Kwami pulls out the "people will love you if you save them" card, Lila's sold! Say less, she's already suiting up!

I'm giving her a more stylish outfit too, think black boots and gloves, as well as actual linings to separate different parts of the suit with some inverted coloring on the sides. Because Lila Rossi is nothing if not fashionable! Anyway, a cat boy falls out of the sky while she's learning how to rip off Spider-Man! One introduction later, Lila sticks with the name Ladybug because why the hell not? She'd have gone with the Italian word, but that's a dead giveaway. Generic means less clues to her identity.

Now, she puts on a great show for the cameras! If Chat hadn't heard her mutter insults about everyone not running for their lives, he'd be impressed! Alya gets saved from that overdramatic car flip, Ladyblog becomes a thing later, and Stoneheart gets absolutely destroyed because Lila is just as smart as Marinette! A bit more straightforward and "I'm going to rip you yo pieces with a spoon if need be"...but very intelligent! Chloe gets saved, Lila feels the urge to psychologically damage her someday soon, and she and Chat find a second to talk after the whole "as long as we're here Hawkmoth can't get you" speech.

Reminder that Adrien has been surrounded by actors and performers his whole life, so he sniffs out Lila's true intentions instantly. Still, she isn't immediately hostile to him. They talk, and decide that since they're the superheroes now, and Paris needs saving from a mentally ill mothman with a midlife crisis, they'll work together. Chat warns her that he won't let her abuse her Miraculous' powers, and Lila promises she isn't going to. Ladybug's reputation as this city's only hope needs to remean clean, after all!

The rest of Origins happens the same, umbrella scene included, and Fu is very proud of himself for making such good choices! Lila also decides to befriend Alya because a blog dedicated to Ladybug is 1) a great publicity stunt she will gladly abuse, and 2) this idiot needs to be kept in check, lest Alya accidentally connects the dots some day. Therefore, we now have the Core 5, consisting of Marinette (reluctant friends with Lila), Adrien (empathetic to the other new kids and thinking her confidence is cool), Nino (music provider), Alya (unhinged conspiracy theorist), and Lila (local lying machine). What a wonderful group of dumbasses! I'm sure everything will be fine!

Most of Season 1 stays the same, with Chat and Ladybug coming to an understanding that the other isn't actually so bad, and Lila secretly liking his stupid puns. No romance for obvious reasons, but Chat is why she slowly starts to open up a bit more in her civilian life. Lila still doesn't care about these people, but Chloe annoys her and Marinette is useful either as a distraction or a help when it comes to getting back at the Queen B. Plus Alya's incresingly ridiculous theories are generating so much popularity for Ladybug that the least Lila can do is listen to the yapping once in a while. She'd still kick them off a cliff just to "save" them for clicks, but her "friends" are at least not on the target list.

Actually, Lila doesn't really try to maliciously manipulate almost anyone here, because she's taken a different approach. The people in her class inexicably seem to have connections with famous artists, chiefs and whatnot, so keeping up the innocent facade is working better for Lila than herding them around like sheep! At this rate, one of these drains on her social battery might prove to be Jagged Stone's secret love child or something! She wants to be in people's good graces!

Due to all of this, her lies are kept relatively minimal and somewhat provable. Besides, most of her deception skills are busy keeping both Ladybug's identity a secret, and the heroic, dauntless persona up for the cameras. Many Akuma are roundhouse-kicked, uppercutted, and defenestrated, but Paris still loves Ladybug (and Chat Noir)! Surprisingly, Lila is actually willing to give him credit where it's due, since she thinks he operates similar to her, with how Adrien poses for the cameras and shoots out witty puns. Just that Chat has a Morality Stick somewhere behind his tail.

Things stay relatively the same until Evillustrator, where Lila's lack of understanding about so-called "normal people" puts her in a Situation. Chloe still exposes Nath's drawings of Marinette, and Lila cannot for the life of her understand the concept of a crush. Physical attraction, she gets. Attraction to someone's status or wealth? Of course! Heck, the free things Adrien usually treats their friend group over are half the reason she's nice to him! Social obligations regarding politeness? Completely comprehendable. But a crush? It just doesn't compute.

An Akuma gets yeeted out of Gabriel's attic, Nathaniel gets butterflied, yada yada. When Ladybug goes to check on Chloe however...the blonde is overjoyed to have her idol visiting her! Lila takes this opportunity to shake some rust off her insults for a bit, and spends the entire time "recipricating" the excitment, with backhanded compliments to boot. Chloe...feels very weird about the experience afterwards, and doesn't understand why. Lila is very proud of herself, and gets yelled at by Tikki later.

Meanwhile, Marinette is actually there when Sabrina shows up and they begin doing the project thing together. Until Evillustrator shows up. Sabrina is terrified, but Marinette's like "Oh, you want to go on a date with me? Yeah sure, let me just change into a better outfit." Nathaniel is overjoyed, and Marinette takes that time to actually wear something nice, and also tell Sabrina to get the heroes ASAP! To her credit, she does so very quickly, and totes not because Chat Noir was looking for Marinette specifically.

Anyway, the boat ride is still the same. Marinette actually notices Hawkmoth hurting Nathaniel, deducing it might be possible to get him to reject the Akumatization somehow, and keeps him busy with a surprisingly enjoyable evening, all things considered. Chat calls in Ladybug, who tells him to stealth after them and wait until she gets there, dumps Chloe, and heads over there. Lila yoyos Nathaniel's sketchbook away, tossing it into he river, trips him and breaks the pen, undoing the damage, etc. It's important to note that since Sabrina was already there with Marinette before, Adrien didn't get to do his "cool introduction" as Chat.

Anyway, Marinette tells them what she noticed about the Akumatizations, and Lila keeps it in mind. After all, if there's one person in Paris who can psychoanalyze people so badly their mental health would improve, it's Lila Rossi! Ladybug dips to go recharge, and Chat starts fawning over how amazing Marinette was. To the girl in question. Adrien is a dork and I love him for it.

He also rants about Marinette to Ladybug, and Lila makes up her mind to pay her a visit as Paris' friendly neighbourhood superheroine. For now, Chat gives her a ride home, and the next day, Adrien has miraculously "heard about" what happened last night. This tips Lila off to his identity, but she decides to figure it out later. Surprisingly, Nathaniel is sitting in the back with her today, and Lila takes that chance to try and understand yesterday's debacle.

They strike up some conversation, and Lila slowly thinks about what Nathaniel is saying. She doesn't feel any of the things he describes to her, but she kind of gets it, if as a abstract concept. Now, Lila still doesn't really care about people, but decides to keep talking to Nathaniel since abruptly going quiet after asking so many pointed questions would be weird. The result? He ends their chat by exclaiming that he's not sure why she's being nice to him, but that's it's nice to have a friend. Lila is so stunned by the idea of friendship, she doesn't manage to correct him in time. She officially has her first friend, and no idea what to do about it. Tikki is laughing at her misery.

A lot more things happen in this Au, like the Collector tipping Lila off regarding Gabriel (which she doesn't share with Chat since he might be Adrien, and while his reaction would be telling, it's too much of a risk), and meeting Fu for the first time since Tikki doesn't get sick in Princess Frangrace here. Needless to say, Lila is very tempted to steal that box full of magical jewels! She behaves, but does slowly begin to loan them out through Season 2. Marinette gets the fox on Sapotis, because Lila would sooner reveal her identity to Hawkmoth than trust Alya of all people to be a responsible superhero.

She and Marinette have been bonding a bit (over their mutual dislike of Gabriel), and Lila is slowly learning how to make friends as herself, while resisting the urge to slingshot stupid civilians off a building with her yoyo. She specifically hates Mr Ramier for getting Akumatized so many times, and repeatedly calls Hawkmoth a tasteless, unoriginal failure of a villain. Gabriel takes extreme offense to this.

Anyway, I'm going to stop here for now because I've been typing for a bit too long. You or anyone else is free to send me questions any time, and thanks a bunch for the ask martiya! Marinette is getting her superhero romance with this one, and ends up being the only person aside from Chat that Lila feels safe to be bitchy and snarky with as Ladybug. Ahh, toxic yuri my beloved! Marinette can totally fix her btw.

[plumsaffron]

Quite interesting when the magnificent miracuscrub(s) makes a theory but it’s really just a mask of having nothing else better to do but to assign something usually against upon Lila Rossi as a means of looking for new ways to feel justified in twisted strange vindictiveness.

Daminette December: 23-The Words I Most Regret

PREVIOUS: Asking Advice

Jon screamed into the phone and Damian immediately hung up. He sighed as he opened his window. As soon as he arrived, Jon just smiled.

"Did you just ask me for advice? " He teased his best friend.

Damian rolled his eyes.

'This was a mistake.'

"Go home." The young Wayne spoke, moving to close the window.

"No!" Jon exclaimed, "You just had like a giant milestone breakthrough!"

Damian stepped aside to let Jon in and closed the window.

"So.....do they go to our school?" Jon asked, still hovering.

"No." Damian answered, "I knew her from my time with Mother."

Damian eyed his friend as he froze in mid-air.

"Oh." Jon whispered, "Um-"

"She's not like..... me." The young Wayne admitted, "The last time you spoke of...crushes-"

"Awww!" Cooed the half-Kryptonian, "She's you first crush!"

Damian gazed down at his feet, "I told my mother."

Jon watched his best friend's face. He seemed to be struggling with words.

"She was gone the next day. I saw her today for the first time." Damian whispered, "After our talk....I thought ai had sentenced her to death."

Jon remained silent but sat next to him. As much as he wanted to say something, he could tell his best friend was still coming to terms over his childish misunderstanding. If anything, he was still processing his feeling. Admitting he liked her was a huge step.

"I was able to speak to her privately. She spoke of how Mother struck her until she woke up in the pits. Mother screamed at her to keep her distance from me, as she was soiling me with her presence." Damian sighed, "She was unsure if she had harmed me, in some way. Grandfather spared her from Mother's wrath and she was removed from the league."

"Wow." Jon spoke, taking in their story, " Uh, go Gramps?"

The ex-assassin nodded, "She believed she would never see me again. She believed Mother would show up unexpectedly and finish the job or send me to do it."

"Damian." Jon spoke, putting his hand on his shoulder, "This is my advice. Before you ask her out, get to know her. She served your family and things between you both are a lot different. She doesn't have to bend to your will. Talk about what you like; ask her what she likes. Can you bond over those things? Set up a friendship first. You might still like her."

"Mother-" Damian began.

"Isn't here. You are surrounded by your father and brothers. Me." Jon declared, "Besides, how do we know she even likes boys?"

"I see." The youngest Wayne spoke, "I did fail to think of that conclusion. "

"Get to know her, Bat Boy." Jon nudged him, "Oh, the natural-human talking way, not the cyber-stalking your family does."

"I will......take your advice, if you can do me one favor." Damian announced.

"Really? What is it?" Jon questioned.

"Look into Lila Rossi." The ex-assassin spoke, handing over a file, "No Bat Computer. Use your parents connections, but look i to her. She claimed to be in a relationship with me since I was a child. She was in the winning class that Father selected."

"On it!" Jon shouted, before throwing the window open and flying off.

It wasnt until he was home that he realized he forgot to ask the girl's name from his best friend and given the time, he was already on patrol.

'Awwww man!'

Damian never thought he would hold such regret. He couldn't get the image of little Marinette terrified of his mother, out of his mind. He knew what death felt like and she had to experience it because of him. All because he confused allergies with a crush. He had never regretted his words, more than those.

luna's diary : half asleep while writing, ignore my mistake

prev — masterlist — next

Your clock read 4:56 pm as you got up from your nap. You looked at the tiny mirror at your bedside table, noticing your bloodshot eyes. You couldn't remember if you brokedown before falling asleep.

Your eyes landed into to the empty bed a few feet away from yours. The worst part of going through all this? Your own bestfriends not believing you. How you wished god would listen to your wishes and you would finally wakeup from this nightmare you were in.

You unlocked your phone and swiped up to see if you had recieved a notification. Ofcourse there's nothing.

Everything from all those years ago was happening again and you had no idea how to stop it. Worse part? you had friends which you didn't last time and they didn't believe you.

You sighed starting to get ready. What was the point of going anyway? You were about to be disappointed even more.

Would they remove you from the team? You wouldn't surprise if they did.

Getting out of the room you previously shared with Ningning, you saw how dull your dorm felt. You missed them. Your initial plan of grabbing a snack before you left was ruined as you slowly started to lose your appetite.

The air was thick with tension and awkwardness as you jogged around waiting for your coach to show up. On the corner of your eye, you could see Iseul with her crutches sitting and staring at you. God that fake bitch.

As you were jogging, a group of girls bumped shoulders with you. "Oh look it's the bully!" One of them said laughing at you. Ignore them.

"Iseul is so nice tho, why would you want to bully her?" "imagine being so insecure you go bully someone else" "Are your parents proud?" were the comments you heard as you continued jogging.

Park Iseul that fucking liar.

Your thoughts were interrupted by your coach blowing his whistle. About time he arrived. All you wanted to do was finish with practice and go back home and sleep as you attempt to forget everything.

"Thank you to all of those who were interested in captaincy this year. With the votings of the sports faculty and a background check, we have come to a tie between Y/n and Iseul" Your coaching said as he made eye contact with the two of you.

What the fuck?

You heard a bunch of whispers around you as your coach started again, "Since Iseul is injured and will be unable to play for a few matches, Y/n is the leader. Congratulations Y/n, I'm intrigued to see what changes you'll bring to the team"

"The bully?" You heard a girl question your coach. "But, she's the reason why I'm like this. Coach you know I'm a better player" Iseul tried to argue before she was interrupted "No buts, the descision is final. You're dismissed."

You could feel Iseul throw daggers at the back of your head. "You just keep getting annoying, don't you?" She said finally managing to limp towards you. Deciding to ignore her, you started walking towards the other side until she spoke up again. "Just you wait, I'll make you life worse than how it is" She said as she smirked at you.

"No, Iseul" You spoke. You were not going to let her win, not this time. "I will prove my innocence and I will expose your lies. I don't know how, but i will bring you down, Just you wait" You said as she scoffed "Good luck with that."

[seas-of-silver]

"Alya, we've talked about this hundreds of times - in all our lives we and our friends have never met someone called Marinette Dupain - Cheng - she is just a figment of your twisted imagination!"

‘Alya, we've talked about this hundreds of times - in all our lives we and our friends have never met someone called Marinette Dupain-Cheng - she is just a figment of your twisted imagination!’

Alya barely suppressed a growl as she glared at Nathaniel. ‘“Twisted imagination?” Seriously?’

Chloé scoffed. ‘Yeah, twisted. I mean, honestly - super-powered villains? Magical terrorists and superheroes? Who, by the way, are all animal themed and get their powers from tiny gods in jewellery? Alternate universes and time travel? Ugh! And the bit you’re flipping out about is some chick that supposedly meant to be in this class? Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.’

‘Alya, we’re worried about you,’ Rose said, her wide blue eyes swimming in genuine concern. ‘You’ve been so different this past week; you look and sound and behave like our Alya, but what you’ve been saying is just so unlike yourself!’

‘It’s kinda like you’re living a nightmare in real time, or something,’ Juleka muttered, and the whole class nodded in agreement.

The whole class bar Adrien and Marinette.

Alya was smart. She had figured out something was seriously wrong when she woke up last week and found herself in her room instead of Marinette’s, where she had been sleeping over. It became even more concerning when she arrived at school and Marinette was nowhere in sight. Then she had started to panic when the seating arrangement was different, Adrien wasn’t at school either, and worst of all - Nino barely knew her.

She spent the first class trying to casually enquire about Adrien and Marinette, which led to confused responses and almost getting reprimanded by Ms Bustier, who was still their teacher and had apparently never had a child, and Chloé’s father was still Mayor of Paris.

One reassuring discovery Alya had made before lunchtime was that Adrien Agreste still existed in this weird world, but had apparently never been to their school. She also discovered that Lila Rossi had also never been to their school, but that good news was quickly soured when she found out that Lila now has strong ties to the Agreste family, and was frequently seen with them. But that didn’t stop Alya from trying to contact Adrien, though she had no success.

Alya had then started to research, and kept researching throughout the week. This weird world had no mention of recent Miraculous use; no Hawk Moth, Mayura, Ladybug or Chat Noir, and nothing of note in Shanghai or New York. Her Ladyblog was also non-existent, which was discomforting in and of itself. And there was no Marinette.

That was the part Alya was struggling to grasp. No Marinette? A world without Miraculouses was something Alya could wrap her head around, as was a reality where Adrien never went to their school, but no Marinette? So she had researched that too. Everything Alya had expected to exist were also missing - the sunglasses and album cover (and subsequent magazine article) Marinette made for Jagged Stone; Marinette’s winning submission in the derby hat competition held by Gabriel Agreste and the runway show it was displayed in; her fashion photoshoot she did with Adrien and Juleka… none of it could be found.

Alya knew this was no dream that she had found herself in - this felt more like some sort of akuma attack-related displacement… but Alya couldn’t remember there being an akuma attack while she was in Marinette’s room. The last thing Alya had remembered before waking up in this weird world was setting up for a girl’s night in while Marinette went on patrol with Chat Noir, as the new Butterfly villain, Malachite, had been annoyingly active as of recent. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.

And now all her friends and classmates were looking at her like she was the weird one. Perhaps she was, at least to them.

‘You’re right, Juleka,’ Alya said sombrely, ‘this is a nightmare. Either I’ve somehow ended up in an alternate universe, or something god-awful must’ve happened for the whole world to forget about the Miraculouses in Paris, for Adrien to never have come to school here, for my own boyfriend to barely know me apart from just being one of his classmates, and for my best friend - a girl who meant so much to nearly everyone in this room - to completely vanish off the face of the earth!’

Everyone flinched at her raised voice, but she didn’t care. She was too angry, too confused, and too hurt to care about something as minor as that.

‘I- ugh! I feel like I’m going insane!’ Alya cried out, her eyes starting to sting. ‘I know what has happened here - I’ve lived it! I was a part of it! You all were part of it! But why don’t you remember? Why does no one remember? Ugh, it’s like, I don’t know, like someone’s messed with reality and gotten rid of any trace of Marinette and the Mira…cu…lou…ses…’

Alya felt violently ill. How could she have not thought of that? It all made perfect sense. But if that was really true, then Malachite must have…

‘Oh, God,’ Alya whimpered, sinking to the ground unsteadily.

The class bin suddenly appeared in front of her, just in the nick of time, and a kind, familiar hand held her hair back.

‘Can someone get the nurse or Ms Bustier?’ Nino’s voice came from right beside her. ‘She’s not doing good.’

People moved around her, but Alya could barely take it in. Her mind was overloaded with fear and horror. She needed to prove this horrific theory wrong.

‘Shh,’ came Nino’s voice again, his other hand starting to rub soothing circles on her back. ‘You’re not well, dude, and you’re shaking.’

She couldn’t dwell on that for long, as a loud commotion was happening outside and getting closer. Fear spiking within her, Alya forced herself to stand and get into a fighting position, ignoring Nino’s protests. She wasn’t going to lose anyone else, not without a fight.

The door slammed open, and Alya hesitated.

‘Alya? Thank goodness!’ Adrien cried, looking disheveled and winded. ‘I got your letters - you remember too?’

Her hands wavered. ‘Yeah. What do you remember?’

‘Oh, finally!’ Adrien exclaimed, relieved. ‘I thought I was going insane when I woke up to find Mother and Father alive and Lila-‘ he growled out, as if saying the name was like ash on his tongue, ‘-of all people was now a long-time family friend, which is revolting. But no one knows about the Miraculouses or Ladybug and Chat Noir or Hawk Moth or Malachite or akumas or anything!’ 

Alya wanted to cry - out of relief or grief, she wasn’t sure.

‘And you!’ Adrien said, pointing at Nino. ‘You hung up on me!’

Nino blinked. ‘So… that wasn’t a prank call?’

Adrien looked mortified. ‘You’ve… you’ve forgotten me? For real?’

Nino opened and closed his mouth, looking entirely uncertain about anything that was going on.

‘I was sure that you would remember me,’ Adrien continued, shaken, before looking back at Alya. ‘I tried to call everyone that I could remember the numbers of, but even Marinette isn’t picking up!’

Alya felt sick again at the mention of her name.

‘Surely you were able to get in contact with her,’ Adrien pleaded, putting his hands on her shoulders. ‘I’ve been stuck under Father’s and Lila’s thumbs for this past week, and I was only able to escape just now.’

With Adrien so close, she could see the anxiety, desperation and fear that was threatening to consume him.

‘Please, Alya,’ he begged, ‘please tell me you found her and she’s okay. She’s in danger, and I need to ensure she’s safe.’

All Alya could do was shake her head. She felt Adrien’s hands tremble and saw his eyes fill with tears as he began to hyperventilate, before he crumbled to the floor and let out a soul-crushing cry that shattered her heart.

[trinketsinthesun]

Ahhhh! I can't believe it's almost time to share my fic Acting the Part. Here's a little something to whet your appetite in the meantime. Written as part of the @mlbigbang2024

Synopsis:

Costume Designer Marinette Dupain Cheng needs a break. She’s overworked, undervalued, and hiding in stationery cupboards. And that was before the leading man left. But all of that was preferable to finding out the new male lead is her teenage celebrity crush.

Ex-supermodel Adrien Agreste needs more work. When his agent offers him the chance to star in a romcom, he grabs it with both hands. But there's a catch - he has to pretend to be in a relationship with the star, Lila Rossi.

It should be easy. After all, no-one has caught his eye in years. That is, until he meets a certain Costume Designer …

Rating: Mature

Snippet:

Adrien looked around the group. Was no-one else coming? Nino had told him he didn't live with the girls, but he’d distinctly gotten the vibe that Nino was with Alya.

Nino smiled lazily. ‘I think he knows the rules well enough.’

‘Ah, but did you explain the objective of Uno?’

Adrien felt himself quail under Alya’s gaze. ‘It’s … it’s to win, right?’

‘Oh no, young grasshopper. It’s to beat … Marinette.’

‘What?’ Huffing out a laugh, he looked at Marinette amused.

But she just shrugged, a tendril of hair falling out of her bun, light bouncing off it.

His fingers twitched. He bet her hair would feel like silk.

‘Dude, Marinette always wins at Uno.’

He ripped his gaze away from Marinette. ‘But isn’t it a game of chance?’

‘Marinette is crazy lucky at Uno,’ said Nino.

Alya nodded. ‘Think of this less like a personal game and more as a team game … against her. In fact, we’re lucky tonight. Usually, it’s just me and Nino.’

Usually. The word piqued his interest. Did that mean Marinette was single? It wasn’t as if he could just ask. He was meant to be dating someone else. Something he’d only remembered after their fitting.

God, he was such an idiot.

Nathanial: I'm up.

Ivan: Can the marriage be ceremonial? Cos Mylene and I are already dating.

Rose: No, that's playing the game wrong.

Chloe: You're already playing the game wrong!

Alyx: boo, buzz kill.

Chloe (Flips her off) I'm right though, everyone will just choose to kill me, some of you already tried-

Adrien: Hey-

Chloe: As Akuma, I know, point is, you're undermine one third of the games entire structure, it needs three equals participants or its just lazy!

Nino: Did not expect to be agreeing with Chloe, also you OK with this dude?

Adrien: Eh, you should hear backstage chatter in dressings rooms, though I think Chloe makes a point. What if we sub in Kagami for Chloe? She's nice.

Marinette: Plus, Kagami's pretty and rich and good with a sword! (Buries face in hands in despair)

Alya: (Pats her head)

Kagami (Opens door) I heard my name being shouted, am I needed for something?

Sabrina: They're playing kiss, marry kill and you're being swapped into Chloe's place so there's no easy kill option.

Kagami: I see, well I will put on my best effort, but given I don't share a class with the players I know I am at a disadvantage. Still, I enjoy a challenge.

Rose: Don't worry Kagami, Juleka and I are definitely killing Adrien instead of you.

Kagami: How charming, you have my gratitude.

Adrien: Love wins!

Kagami: Now I only need to strike down Miss Rossi.

Lila (Please say she's not being literal)

Mylene: This game is so violent.

Chloe: It should also be more sordid, but I guess Fu-

Marinette: OK, so whose first!?

So Chloé since you took yourself out of the running what's your answer?

Sigh* guess my gut instinct was right even after coming back to you and level-headed blogs here. Vivzie’s standom really are the biggest Karens of fandoms, still making other communities look like saints. At least some of those toxic folks with standards and not take things too far. I rarely hear them being at this level of toxicity except for a few incidents like the time a Lila Rossi fan was bullied until she off herself… Someone saved the screenshots but the Twitter/X links are dead last time I checked.

Hey, you know it’s that bad when the Helluva critics have truckloads of evidence and testimonies from others about the wrongdoings of the standom and Vivziepop. I mean a lot of them were painful to see and read due to these people being stupid that they can’t take criticism to even criminal to the point of harassing others. But it’s real, not doctored. If this were a court case, y’all would be winning by a landslide and the stans would be sued for slander, misinformation, etc.

Compare that to other communities, it’s typically tame bc ppl can say criticize and not get harassed to suicide or deleting their online accounts/posts! Like, yes some shows have crisp art/animation and they have some criticism. But those critics weren’t harassed 24/7 or driven out. Ngl, there were times when I was tempted to say smth real nasty to a few ppl critiquing some of my favorite franchises… Then I reminded myself that I would never sink myself to the standom’s levels of pathetic. You know what any mature person would do? Block and filter.

I genuinely feel bad for innocent people wanting to say things. But they are so afraid of losing their friends and/or result in a social suicide aka reputation ruined online and in the real world… I think I saw stories of users breaking up w/ long time friends bc the latter were becoming brainwashed sheep of Vivziepop who refused to heed an ounce of criticism.

I’m an assuming person but my intuitions can be correct at times. These people will bitch and bemoan at the critics, going as far as to fight anyone who has the slightest critique. Go on, keep crying foul on Reddit or Twatter/X (compared to tumblr), some users have evidence of your shitty behavior. Like come on, why are y’all whining about your favorite things being critiqued? The shows are just fiction meant for entertainment and critiquing, not starting meaningless fights.

Well, that was a long rant but everyone, stand your ground and stay strong. If you know someone who’s a fan of a fictional media, gently remind them that opinions and criticism of said favorites won’t ruin their life. It’s just words, don’t take it to heart or as a genuine threat.

Stritzo anon

Agreed. As more and more people realize this is an overrated shit show, the more and more people can stop giving it support. When you are apart of a cult like fandom it's not easy to get out but once you realize your breaking point it feels freeing.

[miraculous-multiverse]

hey if you were to make a team vas win various AU who would it be and with what members.

That’s an hard question to answer… I did have some plans for the Miraculous Multiverse to have at one point various Miraculous users from multiple dimensions team up, but nothing too concrete.

There are some characters however that I was sure on using in it:

Future Bunnyx, or at least an alternate version of her. She would be the one that created the team and their leader.

An alternate version of Marinette (I was interested in using a version of Loveybug from the Loveybug AU where she appears to be fun personified, but behind her façade she probably was a sad and lonely girl that threw away her life as Marinette in order to permanently become Paris’ beloved heroine and came to regret it)

An alternate version of Adrien (since I was interested in using Loveybug, I think that Cat Walker is a good fit for the team because he’s the one that keeps Loveybug in check but also makes the best plans. Just as Loveybug, this Adrien had a rather sad backstory and is in a constant identity crisis, not knowing who he truly is under the mask but compared to Loveybug he’s much better at hiding it)

Guardian Chloe by @luluy33art was a strong choice for the team because I like the character a lot (plus it would be fun having a version of Chloe that wan't only a Miraculous user but also an expert of them and a Guardian)

Vigilanteverse!Alya from a prompt by @natedogx15. Essentially an Alya from an universe where the presence of Ladybug and Chat Noir led to a rise of vigilantes which eventually banded together in a team to fight crime and Hawk Moth. This version of Alya started her superhero career as Kid Anansi (the sidekick of her older sister, whose secret identity is Anansi), but later received the Fox Miraculous by Ladybug who felt that they needed more help in fighting Hawk Moth (and definitively not because she felt that Alya would have probably jumped at the chance of becoming a vigilante and she didn't want her to get injured or killed). Now she has two secret identities (Rena Rouge and Kid Anansi) and neither teams know the other one. As you can imagine, juggling three different lives at the same time is slowly driving her nuts but she's too stubborn to give up.

Now, this is a VEEERY weird choice... Pipistrello from the fanfic series Miraculous Alliance. She's a version of Lila Rossi that didn't become a villain but instead had the luck of meeting Jinxx, the Kwami of Randomness, who prevented her from going down a dark path and eventually let her become the weirdest and craziest hero in Paris (and probably in the entire Universe). She's essentially a Looney Tunes character, has a giant mallet as a weapon, an assortment of weird objects and characters that she can summon at any moment to help her and the power of Randomness in her hands. In the AU she would have been an anti-Lila weapon because she's one of the very few Lilas in the multiverse that are firmly on the side of good and so the rest of them hate her a lot and try to kill her, only to regret it immediately once they have a taste of the maddening power of randomness.

This is more or less what I was planning to do... If you have other ideas feel free to tel me! If I like them I might make a sequel to this post with them in and maybe also create an origin story for this team!

˖ ֹ੭୧ PAIRINGS ⊹ ࣪ ⑅ felinette, lukagami, chlobrina, nino x oc (Antonia) ˖ ֹ੭୧ OTHERS ⊹ ࣪ ⑅ lila salt, damocles salt, bad teacher caline bustier, addition to alya salt for her blog, felix fathom redemption, chloe bourgeois redemption, sabrina raincomprix sugar, nino lahiffe sugar ˖ ֹ੭୧ SUMMARY ⊹ ࣪ ⑅ Marinette isn't in this one she is tranferred to a different school with a help by Jagged Stone, Andre Bourgeois, Audrey Bourgeois, her parents to get away from the toxic classmates that nearly drove her to suicide. But she is still taking therapy at we speak. So she send her cousin Antonia to be the replacement to the school for her to observe her so called classmate and bully. Where Lila had decided to target Antonia but had no idea who she is messing with? While Caline and Damocles did the same thing to her like what they did to Marinette.

Antonia she informed her parents on who this person is after recieving a help email from Marinette this made her parents firmly gripped on opening this case for Marinette and her family's as injustice on this woman who had the nerve to targeted their family relative Tom Dupain's family for unknown reasons. What she had found out through investigating her own sources with a help from a family friend of her fathers to do this research was there.

This woman who's name was Matryosha Kiseleva had lied to enter her cousin school about her age when its been certified as 40 years old with were identified as theft, sexual harrasser, assault, attempt murder, vandalism, conspiracy, trauncy, terrorism, trespassing, aiding and betting, blackmailing, academic fraud and many more including high treason that is label in the file.

She inform the woman who is Gretta Rossi working as the secretary of the embassy inform her that she had a someone who is an identity theft of her daughter who is informed from her family friend calls informing that Mrs. Gretta Rossi's biologically daughter Lily Rossi was confirmed to be hospitalized cause of her cancer at a young age under the custody from her ex-husband for precaution and precised.

Gretta Rossi was horrorified when finding this out from a young girl who's name that she had been familiar with from her ex-husband that this girl is not someone to be messing with but agreed to play along while she feels guilty that she coddle the wrong adult who may looked like a child but who isn't her daughter. Her worries went off rocket and informed her ex-husband on her finding out about something but told her to keep low and file evidence on this woman who is prosicating their daughter who is currently laid in the hospital back in Italy being informed and updated by his current wife who is a nurse taking care of his daughter for him.

Now the plan is in motion, Gretta Rossi was disgusted after finding out from the De La Fontaine family who she and her ex-husband were familiar with cases open and closing winning against people who is similar like Matryosha Kiseleva and Hawkmoth for an example.

As for Mr. Agreste had no idea who he had misled this woman into his own home just for sexual tension towards his son being unnoticed by him after Natahlie recieved an urgent call from Mrs. Rossi in low voices telling her that this girl who claimed to be her daughter was nothing but a identity theft who goes as Matryosha Kiseleva a wanted criminal who is confirmed dangerous but told the woman to play along but file evidences this made Nathalie grown cold chills down to her spine she was horrorified finding this out from Mrs. Rossi and to be exact she was intel by the De La Fontaine family. A family that Nathalie recongized a long time ago.. a family you do not want to mess with at all. Turn out she was the niece of Tom Dupain that made her face change from calm to a pale of white paper sheets.

Then a storm came running in as Antonia came in with patch of papers and laptop but also with her father by her side when he is on a vacation while her mother is at home working on the case for 'Matryosha Kiseleva' to be on track when walking toward Tom & Sabine's Boulangerie Patissiere as Madam Cheng took notice of the atmosphere as she notice the figure coming to the bakery revealing to be her cousin-in-law Louvel De La Fontaine this made her stopped as Tom notice how his wife's posture went stiff then looked out of the window it was his cousin Louvel along with his daughter who is his niece.

"What can I do for you cousin?" Tom asked calm not to make his customer to panic at any cost.

"My daughter here Antonia found something that we need to discuss. I hope you don't mind getting your daughter involved with this. The person that has been targeting your daughter was labeled a dangerous criminal in all 13th countries being informed from our colleagues as we speak." Louvel informed firmly this made Sabine expression from surprised to anger when mentioning this person who she knew it was. She immediately went to the back door to get her daughter downstairs.

This made the customers curious on whats going on after they heard this man speaking to Tom Dupain who turned out be cousins. Only this time Sabine's daughter has friends who has been trying to expose the bully in her old school it was a familiar face that Louvel recongized immediately it was Chloe Bourgeois, Sabrina Raincomprix, Kagami Tsurugi, Felix Fathom, and Luka Couffaine they all frozed when recongized the person in front of them.

"Uncle Louvel? Cousin Antonia!" Marinette exclaimed this made her trusted friends relaxed while Sabrina and Chloe frozed stiff this made Chloe gulped and Sabrina nervously. Thank god I apologized. I don't think my father will survived from Maribug's relative on this one. Chloe thought to herself in relief even Sabrina apologize to.

"I recieved your email that said help. The girl your dealing with Marinette is a adult woman who is a wanted criminal her real name is Matryosha Kiseleva. She is 40 years old as we speak it was ceritfied in her files along with her crime records. She pretended to be certain age to your old school. It was also labeled dangerous." Antonia told her cousin who was shock to know that woman who is bullying her was a wanted criminal that really pissed her off.

Everyone was shocked to their cored. Nadja was pissed hearing this after having a nice snack and break time from her work. Things gotten escaluated into plan. As another customer came but this one was called out by Marinette this made Nadja frozed in her seat as the names were identified and recongized she listen and use her phone to record in silent.

After it was revealed that Lila Rossi was Matryosha Kiseleva the wanted criminal but impersonating Gretta Rossi's daughter who is currently in hospitalized as doctors of her daughter had informed them. Marinette feels bad for Mrs. Rossi but she is willing to help her daughter who is being hospitalized at the moment. "Mrs. Rossi's daughter name was actually Lily Rossi she was held in the hospital back in Italy being treated due to having cancer at young age. Lila was just a nickname for Lily." Louvel informed them.

That broke Nadja's heart hearing this but willing to help the family get a donation for their daughter transparent surgery hopefully the young girl can recover from cancer.

"Your old school had no idea yet your principal had ignored protocols of suspicious background on students when enrolling to the school." Louvel added. "Antonia here will be attending your school Ms. Bourgeois. I hope you don't mind if she hangs out with you and Sabrina for purpose reasons. She is here to collect evidence while my wife is opening the case of Matryosha Kiseleva that was closed long time ago but could not find a way to complete the case due to her claiming to be innocent in years of being in court for many years." He added.

This made both girls nodded immediately. Chloe looked gleely that its coming to the end for this. "What about our teachers and the principal whats gonna happen to them?" Sabrina asked than there was silence between a daughter and a father then back at them.

"They are gonna be in jail time for their entire life when this is over." Mr. De La Fontaine stated but also informed Ms. Raincomprix question as Sabrina sigh in relief. "Thank god. We've been trying to get our incompetent teacher Ms. Bustier and our incompetent principal Damocles after the incident with Marinette expulsions. But I was threaten by the principal after I told my dad he was not happy at all." Sabrina informed.

"After apologizing to Dupain-Cheng the way I reacted out of jealousy and bullying her since élémentaire. I realize that I may have abuse my power but I was trying to get my mother's attention to love me. Like all daughters would do when mothers doesn't pay attention to them. Anyway, I told this to daddy in the shadows after finding out through accessing CCTV Footage in schools and boundaries along with the school funds." Chloe explain on her side. Louvel felt bad for the child to endure that role as a ex-bully and a mayor's daughter but furious at her mother's neglect.

Rumors stated in Collège Françoise Dupont about a new student joining in Miss Caline's Class as many other students felt bad but hope they can make an encounter gestures about Lila's lies. Some were pissed at what they did to Marinette. They gather evidence with a help by Marc and Nathaniel along with Zoe, Rose, Juleka, Nino, Alix, and Max who had volunteer in secret.

Back with Chloe she seem oddly curious about this but ask Mr. De La Fontaine for more information to intel so she can help out in secret with the others back school which also caught Sabrina's attention. "Who is Matryosha Kiseleva personally?" Chloe asked unsure who that girl or woman is. "She goes by many names like Cerise Bianca, Iris Verdi, and Lila Rossi. But she is a wanted criminal and also labeled as dangerous." Louvel informed the two girls who went pale as white when hearing a familiar name in the air as in 'Lila Rossi'.

Sabrina took out her phone and inform this to the rest of squad in secret to inform the others who are in School about a new information that is needed.

Back in School, a ping was alerted by a few students like Mirelle Caquet, Aurore Beaureal, Nathaniel Kurtzberg, Marc Ancel, Zoe Lee, Rose Lavillant, Juleka Couffaine, Nino Lahiffe, Alix Kudbel, and Max Kante when they read the message they were pissed at on certain student in their class besides Mirelle, Aurore, Marc, and Zoe. They had wanted criminal in their class without a background check.

Another ping showed up, told them "To collect evidences on Lila Rossi. The real daughter of Gretta Rossi the secretary embassy has been confirmed that her daughter is being treated from Cancer as we speak. Futhermore, the more evidence we get on Lila Rossi, Caline Bustier, and Damocles they will be gone from our lives for good. As for the Class who decided to be a sheep to listen to Lila's lies will face consequences on their own actions not yours but theirs.." this shooked their core on this then another message showned from a different calm respond, "before I forget the new student her name is Antonia De La Fontaine. I'll give you brief information on her. She is the daughter Louvel De La Fontaine who is known to be the Famous Federal Judge and her mother was Angelina De La Fontaine nee' Allard she works as a Senior FBI Agent turn out her family were a higher authority rankings. Much bigger than my dad and Chloe's dad. But she is also Marinette's cousin. Which means that Lila is messing with the wrong person? Marinette assign her cousin to our school for a reason."

Holy crap. But that means... Everyone thought to themselves as they soon realized they are going to be free from their toxic for good which is a huge relief on their part.

Lila Rossi has no idea what is coming next in the storm along with the sheeps, Caline Bustier, and Monty Damocles on that day.

Please inform if I did this correctly. I do not know the laws & politics rules and endangerments from Paris. If anyone know please comment at the chat bubble or reblog it. I wish I live in Paris it would be alot easier to do this y'know. I only know the American version of Laws & Politics.

[mlboi]

Hi howdy hey! This is my first post about my Miraculous Ladybug AU idea called Allies AU: Tales of Lullanyx and Audinelle.

I'll get into the deeper plot points later, but the gist of it is that there's a completely seperate group of Miraculous holders based in Edinburgh- the holders of the kinesis Miraculous, which are older than the Chinese Miracle Box and therefore much more...experimental, and have riskier side effects. The holders of these Miraculous form a band called Kinesis and become quite popular, and they know very little about whats happening in France with the Miraculers and don't connect the dots between the two sets of magic Jewels.

Two years pass, and Ladybug, Cat Noir and Co. are still struggling against Chrysalis and the Board (an evil organisation they know next to nothing about other than the fact that they can somehow enhance akumas). They're starting to loose moral, but the people of Paris are none the wiser to their struggle and idolise their heroes.

Meanwhile with Kinesis, one of the band members, Imogen Holder, grows tired of simply using the miraculous as performance enhancing tools. She feels like no one else understands the potential of the power they all wield; I mean, with the combined power of all 19 Kinesis Miraculous, they could easily take over the world! The other group members (especially band manager and unofficial leader Poppy Nótt) throughly disagree, which causes Imogen and her boyfriend Bex to leave the group with their miraculous in a rage. That night, Imogen calls her favourite cousin, Lila Rossi, in tears and explains the situation, which Lila takes as an opportunity to gain more allies for herself and The Board. She spins some ridiculous story about a team of villains, the miraculers, trying to interfere with The Board's mission for world peace and harming the people of Paris in the process, and Imogen agrees to move to Paris to help her, dragging poor Bex in tow.

Akumas start to become even more aggressive. Paris is being reduced to ashes almost every single fight and Ladybug is hardly able to win anymore. Innocent people *die* in front of the teams eyes. Sometimes team members die. Even when they're brought back, you can't scrub the image of a person loosing their life from your brain easily. As a last resort, Ladybug contacts Bunnix, begging for any sort of help, and Bunnix brings them to Kinesis, who agree to help Ladybug save Paris while they look for their former friends.

___________________________________

Opinions? I've had this idea for a while so let me know what you think and if there's any way I could make it better. I've also been considering making it a comic, but that wouldn't be a right now thing.

I'm going to add some Picrews of the Miraculers civilian forms in this AU later tonight, since everyone is now 2 years older (so around 16/17) and also suffering greatly. Sorry not sorry.

CHANGING FACES Chapter 6: Arrival

[ Prefer to read on Archive of Our Own? Link HERE! ]

[ Previous Chapter - Next Chapter ]

After years of dealing with each other Lila Rossi win’s when she  convinces Hawkmoth that Marinette is Ladybug. In order to throw off  suspicion and keep the Miracle Box safe Marinette and her supportive parents leave Paris and head to Gotham of all places. In this new place  away from her friends and her unhealthy routines Marinette is forced to  confront herself and change for the better. Helping her on her journey  is a surprising new friend and potential ally. When Alya missing her  friend learns about the chance to win a free trip to Gotham she  convinces the class to work hard to qualify. When her new life clashes  with her old one will Marinette be able to hold on strong to her new  confidence or will she crumble under the pressure?

( This fic will be for the most part comedic, fluffy, and sweet, with only a bit of seriousness to tie it together. With only the mildest salt  because I don’t think the class or Adrien are bad people just that they  can be naive and selfish thanks to the canon writing. I hope you enjoy  reading this work and have fun with me on this journey. )

CHAPTER 6:

Arrival

Marinette had never been so happy to be on solid ground. The plane ride had been… Turbulent to say the least not to mention long leaving Marinette to agonize and worry the entire time that maybe while she was busy up in the sky Hawkmoth would strike luckily the freak of a villain seemed busy and so the flight passed without the need to use Kaalki which was a great thing as Marinette was unsure just how precise the power of voyage was. 

As the small family of 3 disembarked from the plane with their meager belongings Marinette breathed in the fresh air with relief it was chilly and barely light out … She was tired, yes, but she was also giddy and a strange sense of freedom was filling her with every step she took. There was no Hawkmoth here, no purple butterflies no constant need to lock her own emotions into vault, no more need to lie to her parents, no more Bustier telling her to be the classes shining example, no more Lila whispering lies behind her back, no more Adrien too shoot her longing puppy dog stares as he waited for her to ‘forgive him’ when he had never bothered to apologize. 

She was free. She was safe? … Well as safe as one could be moving to a city known for its killer clowns and freaks in masks. Not that Marinette wasn’t prepared for that, her training with her own mother and the Amazon’s of Themyscira for the last few years had transformed her small unassuming body into a weapon. Not to mention the new magical training the Kwamis were giving her, Tikki especially pushed for more training once she started learning just how awful some of the villains of Gotham were and she made Marinette promise that if the Joker so much as even looked at her she would not hesitate to transform him into a cockroach. Technically it wasn’t murder so she figured Batman would be fine with it.

As they moved through the airport presenting their documentation to the necessary people Marinette’s excitement only grew with her fingers twitching with anticipation as the polite woman welcomed them to their new home and they exited the security clearance area into the wider airport. Her eyes scanned the crowd eagerly until they landed on the group of 3 men chatting amongst themselves. She let out a squeal and started running, catching the men’s attention as she flung herself at them in joy. Jason however acted fast and caught her first wrapping her into a tight brotherly hug and lifting her off the ground and away from Dick and Alfred.

“Woah there jelly bean you trying to take the old man out? Lucky I caught you huh!” 

Marinette snorted and rolled her eyes trying to squirm out of Jason’s grasp so she could hug Alfred and Dick who was looking rather put out.

“Oh please Alfred’s not frail he’s like Grandma Gina he will live forever at this rate and be healthier then all of us.” 

Tom and Sabine chuckled at the scene as they walked over with their meager bags and proceeded to hug Alfred and catch up while Dick tried to pry Marinette free from Jason in order to get his hug that Jason had so rudely stolen. Marinette meanwhile dangled from Jason’s arms with an amused and exasperated look on her face. She’d missed her ‘brothers’ greatly and was happy to see them again. There was just one thing, one tiny little thing…

“When did you freaks get so tall!”

The sudden comment had both boys stopping as they seemingly for the first time paused to take in Marinette’s appearance. Sure they had seen pictures of her and video chatted plenty of times but this was the first time in years where they had physically been around her and now that they were… 

“I think the better question here is why are you so short.” Marinette gasped in faux offense squirmed out of Jason’s grasp clutching her heart in mock betrayal. 

“How could you say such a thing… Dick is my favorite now.”

The oldest Wayne grinned and accepted his hug while sticking his tongue out at Jason who was playing the part of the dramatically betrayed. 

However now that Dick was hugging his little sister he could not help but blurt out. “God you really are short.” 

Marinette squawked indignantly at the comment. “What no! I’m normal it's you two who are the-” She gestured at them with waving arms. “Alfred! What have you been feeding them and where can I get some!” 

Alfred chuckled and opened his arms calmly to accept the warm hug of his god daughter. “I’m afraid I haven’t been feeding them anything unusual; they simply sprung up like weeds.”

Marinette huffed and puffed up her cheeks. Stupid genetics.

“Ah don’t feel too bad jelly bean Dickie here isn’t even THAT tall, just wait till you meet Kori in the flesh now that's tall.” 

As the group moved its way out of the airport Marinette recalled the measurements she’d received when designing Kori’s wedding dress, not to mention the pictures that showed the beautiful tan woman towering a full head over Dick at the altar. Maybe it was something in the water of Gotham that made people tall. Considering all the supervillains she would not doubt it.

“When will I finally get to meet Kori and Mar’i face to face anyway? I wanna hug my cute little niece already!!!”

“Why? Because she’s the only one not taller than you?” Jason snickered before letting out a surprised yelp as Marinette playfully punched him in his side with a pout. She had some surprising strength in that arm of hers.

“Later in the week, they wanted to come pick you up with us but it was so early and your parents told us your new school was giving you a week off to adjust to the new timezone before classes start.” Honestly it had been a hectic night with Mar’i refusing to sleep determined to go with Dick to the airport but eventually she fell asleep clutching Silkie and so Dick had left alone.

“What school are you going to anyway, jelly bean? Maybe I can come pick you up sometime after school for some lessons in self defense at my gym.” Mostly he wanted to see her flatten some of the men twice her size; he knew Sabine had been training Marinette since she was young and he was eager to see what his little sis was capable of.

Marinette smiled at the thought. “That sounds nice, as for my new school mom and Alfred arranged it for me, I think it's called Gotham Academy.”

Marinette missed the way Dick and Jason whipped their heads around to glare at Alfred. Gotham Academy wasn’t a bad school, in fact one could easily say the opposite: it had great staff, good facilities, and it had accepted Marinette on a full ride scholarship thanks to her high grades and many achievements. The problem was the school was also full of a bunch of rich leeches, but worst of all it had Damian. Now both older Wayne’s could admit they loved there little brother even if Jason would deny it to keep his cool reputation but Damian had a bit of a bad track record with first impressions. Not to mention the fact that the 3 Wayne’s had already discussed how best to introduce the Dupain-Chengs to the rest of the family so they could all be one bigger happier family and they had agreed to wait and while and let them settle in before dropping the bomb that was the Wayne family and more specifically BRUCE on to them but if Marinette met Damian at school and got a bad idea of him… Things would get complicated.

Alfred however unlike the younger two Wayne men was not worried. He had a feeling that Marinette and Damian were just what the other needed right now. Yes, he’d heard many things about Marinette’s situation from her parents. What she needed now was someone to bring out that bold Marinette he knew was waiting for a chance to shine. And as for his youngest grandson while he had been doing much better and had made friends he was still hostile and wary Marinette however might be just what he needed. The old man chuckled with a warm smile. 

“I think you will like Gotham Academy very much, Marinette.”

—-----------------------------------

Damian Wayne had a reputation. Since his first ever day at school at the age of 10 after he’d moved in with his father the young heir had… Problems with other students. His personality was icey and his training too deeply ingrained that school and him had not gone well. Yet his father refused to let him skip or be homeschooled, determined that with time school would help him develop his social skills. For the first few years Damian was alone he shoved people away and did only what was required waiting for the day when finally his father would see that school was beneath him and he could achieve so much more without it.

At 13 that reputation evolved. And not for the better. Damian had been so sure of his own intelligence and his own superiority that he failed to notice that viper slinking through the grass. A girl, the same age as him, unlike other girls who had failed to approach him due to the obvious attempts, Lila had been more subtle. Instead of acting interested in him she acted unfazed she even began dating Jon the only person his age Damian was close to. He’d let his guard down thinking that she was nothing but a simple sweet girl. But he had never been more wrong. 

Somehow the viper had found his weakness, somehow she knew that deep down under all his posturing he felt insecure, unloved, unwanted, and she prayed on it. She made him feel strong, she made him feel special, she made him feel wanted, she used lies to paint Jon the villain and herself the victim so that Damian would save her and fall deeper into the strange infatuation that clouded his mind. She was a snake. And worst of all he had not even discovered her lies himself; it had been sheer dumb luck overhearing her plot her schemes that had revealed the truth to him.

But by that point it was too late. The vipers poison had already spread and Damian Wayne’s reputation fell from just ‘ice king’ to ‘monster’ even after the lawsuit even after proving her lies and sending the snakes father to jail. Even after he had proven himself innocent… The reputation clung to him. It was a stain that would not wash off, even after Dick convinced him to go to therapy and his attitude improved, even after he fixed the broken relationship with his family, even after he broke out of his shell and made friends in his school, the stain was still there and every action he did and didn’t take only made it worse.

It's not that Damian wasn’t trying, because he was really. He tried to be polite and courteous; he tried to make a good impression. But somehow someway it often seemed to go wrong, though it did not help that his peers were a bunch of rich kids who tended to be overly sensitive, at least in Damian’s eyes. It did not help that Damian was self admittedly a little… Overly blunt and honest not to mention how sensitive he was about girls flirting with him, he knew he’d not fully recovered from the Vipers poison and so even now 3 years after she was gone he was on high alert constantly on the lookout for lies and manipulation. And this… alertness of his had led to again more then a few terrible first impressions. 

To put it simply, Damian was aware that whenever a new student was joining the school bets were made on how fast Damian Wayne would manage to offend them. So when the teacher announced that come next Monday a new student would be joining the class a young girl all the way from France no less a ripple of excitement went through the class as once more bets were being made. This time however Damian Wayne was determined to make them all lose. He would be polite, and courteous he would not snap, not say anything un-intentionally mean, he would be normal, he would simply ignore the new girl and all would be well.

Which is why of course his Teachers asked him to give the new girl the school tour. He was one of the few who spoke French and they were unsure how good the girl's English was so they wanted to play it safe and coincidentally all the other students who could speak French just so happened to be too busy to help the new student. Damian seethed he knew it was a lie, they just wanted to force him to interact with her for their little bets. Fine then! A Wayne is not so easily defeated. He would be a perfect gentleman, he would not offend the girl, it would be fine. He would prove to himself and everyone else that Damian Wayne might be the Ice Prince of Gotham but he was no brute. Bring it on Monday Damian Wayne was ready to meet the new girl.

( Thank you again for all the patience and support! I tend to update slowly due to well... The need to keep food on the table and my finances have been especially tight lately so I was struggling but things are getting better now so hopefully I can write more often in the near future. This first chapter was more to establish some stuff I know its a little short but it felt good to get back into this fic with something a little neater sweeter and smaller. Hopefully I have more up soon! )

This is an ML salt post, particularly about Lila Rossi. If you are actually excited about Lila being the main villain in future season(s), this post isn't for you, I just need to rant. A lot.

I hate Lila Rossi. I hate her with a burning passion. Literally every episode where she shows up, my hatred for this character will manifest in me saying "I hate her" the moment she opens her mouth, followed by seething throughout every moment she spends onscreen.

In prior seasons, this wasn't much of an issue--she'd show up for a couple episodes and then she'd disappear 90% of the time, so I could usually just focus on literally anything else in the show. With season 5, however, she started showing up much more. I knew it was coming, of course--the foreshadowing that she would be the successor to Hawkmoth has been visible since season 3, and it was announced that he'd be gone after this season. But if the show had ended at season 5 as originally intended, butterfly!Lila could have been a theoretical problem for adult!Ladybug and adult!Chat Noir in 10 years. But since the powers that be have decided to have the show continue past Gabriel Agreste, Lila is a problem now and will be a problem at least until Chris Lahiffe is a teenage boy, if "Timetagger" is any indication. And we, the audience, will be forced to suffer through all of it.

Why, though, do I hate the idea of Lila being the main villain? I was fine with having Gabriel in the villain seat for five seasons despite him being a terrible father and manipulative git, after all. With Gabriel, there was a particular humanity to him that made him interesting--this entire show is about love and Gabe's love was so overwhelming and myopic and self-serving that he resorted to villainy while convincing himself that he was secretly the hero all along, sacrificing everything (even his morality) for the woman he loved. He used his love as an excuse to justify the harm he caused Paris and his very own son. As he continually reached for forbidden means to get what he wanted, his dreams ballooned in scope--he'd defied the odds when he'd married above his station, he'd defied the odds when he'd become a world-renowned designer, he'd defied the odds when he found the miraculous and created the perfect son--and so it became all too natural for him to fight the impossible fight as Hawkmoth because he deserved to win this too. And the whole time, unbeknownst to either of them, he's fighting against the son who he's been neglecting and controlling in his fight to save someone who never wanted to be saved? That stuff is fascinating.

Lila, though? She's got none of that complexity. She's a consummate liar who hates the protagonists and literally nothing else. In other shows, she'd be the transfer student who shows up for an episode, gets exposed as a fraud by the end of that episode, and then literally never be seen again. This show, however, has Lila overstay the welcome that her character archetype is built for and instead be a recurring problem. And, because a liar can only get away with lying if the surrounding characters don't know she's lying, Lila is made untouchable by the plot. Other villainous characters have some plot immunity to their evilness--Chloe, obviously, has the automatic win condition of demanding her father to get her out of trouble whenever she wants. But Lila's plot immunity comes from an inexplicable ability to manipulate everyone around her (besides our main protagonists, who are forced to only cry wolf). She makes all the supporting cast love her without help, she does so even to characters we'd expect to know better. When she first showed up, her lies weren't even good and still she gets away with her reputation in tact basically every time. The one time where she does get exposed to everyone, she gets to have an easy redo by making up a completely new identity to try again. She's a Villain Sue. And her very presence weakens the story she's in.

Lila only exists because the writers decided to make an absolute hate sink. They absolutely succeeded in doing so. And frankly, that's a problem. Most of the time, if you're going to have a character in a show for any length of time, they should be likeable on some level. They could be sympathetic or competent or proactive or even just have a personality that's fun to watch, but the audience shouldn't feel like the character is a waste of viewing time. Lila isn't someone the audience can identify with, her competence is largely in name only (I will allow that her manipulative skills during season 5 are stronger, but her ludicrously bad prior lying and the unexplained nature of her sudden hypercompetence now aren't nearly enough to make me forgive her here). Lila's sometimes doing things behind the scenes, sure, but she has the laughably petty objectives of "be famous" and "ruin classmate's life" and I cannot take her actions towards achieving these goals seriously as a bit villain, let alone a primary antagonist. And--worst of all--her voice is extremely annoying. I will suffer through a myriad of things, but I can only listen to nails on a chalkboard so long before need to leave the room.

And this might be a bit of a hot take, but honestly? I don't think Lila was even necessary in the first place. In episodes like "Volpina" or "Oni-Chan," she could have been replaced with Chloe (our original mean girl who's clingy with Adrien--she might not be my favorite character either, but at least she's funny). I'm positive that the plot of "Catalyst" and "Miraculer" could have been reworked to happen without Lila's involvement without much effort. The entire subplot of Lila being Adrien's modelling partner was more about Gabriel controlling his son--it could have been easily about forcing Adrien to be alone instead of forcing him to be with someone he didn't like. The fact that Lila shows up so little in the first four seasons just goes to prove how unnecessary she is. She only becomes important in season 5 because the writers now know that they need to prepare for a new supervillain to fill Gabriel's shoes after he leaves--and she's the only one who comes anywhere close to fitting. So, suddenly, she's being far more active than she ever was (almost half of her total appearances are in season 5 alone), but her motivations are less clear than ever, so I'm left assuming that this hollow character must still have the hollowest of motivations--popularity, power, getting back at the kids who rebuffed her... after having 5 seasons of truly delicious drama, why on earth would I want to turn the worst thing about those 5 seasons into main course?

I know I am far from being alone in hating Lila Rossi's character. There are literally thousands of fics tagged with "Lila's Lies Are Exposed" because so many readers want to see her be punished for her actions. I'm actually not really a fan of these--I don't take joy in seeing Lila being taken down. I want her to disappear from the narrative entirely. If the current state of United States politics has taught me anything, it's that that watching a terrible person get their comeuppance is never as satisfying as you think it will be because that terrible person will keep popping up and keep being terrible and keep forcing you to think about them. The best possible punishment I can think of for Lila is to act like she's just an OC made from some background character that never mattered in the first place--and then never have to think about her existence in the show again.

I was happy to watch the first 5 seasons of Miraculous Ladybug. I wish it had only been those 5 seasons (side note: Chat deserved to go up against his father in the final battle. I get that he couldn't since the mandate for more seasons requires the identities to be intact, but this was the point in the narrative when the reveal was meant to happen and it has weakened the story to move it elsewhere). I haven't decided to not watch season 6 at this point, but knowing who I will have to deal with in every episode? It's making it very difficult for me to want to continue any further.
