2, 14, 16, and 19 please!
Hey hey!! Sorry this took a little bit, my sleep schedule has been off - meant to answer this a bit earlier but I kept falling asleep haha. Thank you for asking! :3
(Under cut because this got long)
2 - Do their table manners live up to Lorenz's standards?
While all of them have good table manners, but Lorenz has rather lofty expectations haha.
Lucien was raised in a noble house, so his table manners are probably the best of the group due to expectations and stuff that was drilled into him. That said, Lucien doesn't really. like Lorenz. So I can absolutely see him messing around and letting "standards slip" purely to annoy him.
Tyler and Max's table manners are decent, but Xander wasn't too strict about that stuff with them. I reckon Lorenz probably wouldn't be too offended by them - both would absolutely offer him food much like Raphael did in their C Support so that may change things.
Lunaris has good table manners for the most part, it's more that he just doesn't really care. If he wants to eat with his hands then he's going to go for it, regardless of the company. I can't imagine Lorenz will be too pleased with that lol.
14 - Do they prefer form or function?
In terms of clothes and weapons:
Max and Tyler prefer function over form for both. As far as they're concerned they can make whatever it is look pretty later.
Lucien values function for weapons, but form for clothes.
Lunaris prefers function. That said, he has sacrificed some function in his timeskip outfit to make it look cooler (namely the dangly bits attached to his belt and the lack of boots).
I may have misunderstood the question somewhat but this is what I think it's asking?? Sorry if it's not.
16 - Who could they win an arm wrestle against? A chess match? A round of darts?
Tyler enjoys having the occasional arm wrestling match with Petra and Caspar. She hopes one day to be strong enough to where she can go up against Raphael with confidence.
Max enjoys arm wrestling too, but his main area is darts. Little guy has great precision. I honestly think he'd have a few rounds with Claude and put up a good fight. He can beat everyone in his own group though.
Lucien loves playing chess. He and Yuri go head to head sometimes, and he plans to ask Claude for a match too. I'd say they're about evenly matched though.
Lunaris is enjoying being taught about these things and has had a friendly arm wrestle with Max. Max won, but Luna doesn't plan on losing so easily next time.
19 - Sweet or savoury?
Max and Lunaris have a serious sweet tooth, which may explain why the two of them constantly seem to be baking treats together. Lucien has a preference for sweet things too.
Tyler, however, prefers savoury food.

alienducky replied to your post: man it sure would be nice if I could play my time...
What platform are you playing on? Steam or console?
Steam, though I gave futzing with my drivers a go and rejigged my laptop to boost performance rather than battery life and the past two days it hasn’t crashed, so I think just maybe it was my fault and not Portia >_> I feel daft now but thank you for replying!

1, 8, and 14 for the shipping asks?
1. What was your first OTP?
Hm... probably Inukag (from Inuyasha). I’d say Kataang (from Atla), but I was never super invested in their romantic relationship when i was first watching the show. Inukag though, I was always 100% behind.
8. Who is the most shippable person you can think of?
I want to say Marinette for the fandom at large, given how many different ships she has, but I’m too much of a love square stan to ship her with anyone but Adrien. For me, personally, I’d say Katara. I like pretty much all of her common ships, although Zutara is my favorite.
14. Has a fanbase ever made you ship or not ship something? Why?
The fanbase has really brought me around to Chlogami, Lukagami, and Chloe/Luka (can’t remember how exactly to spell their ship name atm, haha). They are all solid ships that do well to help each other grow.
As for sinking ships, I’d say Luka//nette and Feli//nette. Damin//ette would be added to that, if I had ever considered it at all. Basically, all three ships just became so salty that almost every fic I happened across was a long excuse to bash Adrien, which I’m not down for. 
Ship and let ship, but all that salt ruined my appetite for them. 
Thanks for the ask, fren! :D

1. what’s the best thing that happened to you today? 18. what’s a topic that you wish you knew more about? 35. is there a movie you like better than the book it was based on?
1. The best thing that happened to me:
I FINALLY got done with my assignment (I have three more) but at least I got ONE out of the way. Oh! And I ate cookies and all sorts of pastries so...that's always in the top ten category :3
18. A topic I wish I knew more about:
Homeless people. Honestly, given me studying social work now, it's about homeless people. I know it sounds weird, but just generally how many homeless people there are (example in Germany where I live currently, or just in countries in general), how to help them, ways to spend money sensibly so they have food and shelter and get them back on their feet. Trying to organize temporary, affordable homes for them and how it's all funded/works...etc.
35. A movie being better than the book its based on:
Ohhhh that's a tough one! I feel like its (shamefully) been a while where I read anything other than scientific texts for uni and those that I do read (mostly crime/thriller books) normally don't get to be made into a movie but... spontaneously I would say...(if I remember correctly) in "Forrest Gump" the book, Forrest goes on crazy adventures he doesn't in the movie? I mean, flights to space and being stranded on some island with a orangutan? Also, the relationship with his mother isn't as strongly and deeply portrayed as it is in the movie, if a vital connection as that is missing, it dampens the whole story and adds less weight to her death too (in the movie, I think she kept on living in the book, not sure).
Thanks for the ask @alienducky ! I hope I wasn't babbling too much ^_^😅

Oh oh! I have a question! When's the next part? ;P Because that's rather mean to leave it like that. I've got so many different ideas in my head of what might have happened, but I'm too scared to voice them
hahaha, sorry to say that I’m not sure! I’ve started writing the first chapter of the story and since my semester is about to end I’ll likely have more time to write soon, buuuuut I can’t really post it for real until I’ve found a title, which I haven’t yet. I need to do some more work with the piece as a whole before I can title it and consider it ready for viewing. 
I’d love to hear your theories, though! It’s really interesting hearing how other people process my writing and what expectations it gives them, since I can only read it as a person who already knows what’s happening.

Shutterbug (1/?)
Chapter 1: something happens when everybody finds out
Summary: The word is out and the gossip is in: Ladybug’s got a man on her arm and it isn’t Chat Noir.  The hottest new couple to hit the Parisian spotlight? Ladybug and Adrien Agreste.
A/N: A commission from the wonderful @alienducky that grew out of control. Shout out to @overworkedunderwhelmed for helping me with the title.   It’s just what I was looking for.
AO3
This is a dream.  This has to be a dream.
Adrien watched in fascinated horror as his father and Nathalie outlined their plan of attack to the shell-shocked love of his life.  Ladybug’s arms were crossed around her stomach and her mouth hung open, just the slightest, frozen as Gabriel oh-so-casually requested– no, demanded – the superheroine’s cooperation.
“Are you okay with this?” He asked, voice low so as not to catch his clearly insane guardian’s attention.
Ladybug turned away from Gabriel and his runaway PR campaign.  She gave him a somewhat wobbly smile.
“Sure,” She squeaked. “Yup.  Tip-top. Totally fine!”
The too-perky words hung between them for a moment, suspended in horribly awkward time.  Adrien knew his partner too well to know she was anything but panicking.
“It’s okay,” He said, reaching out to gently touch her arm. “I’ll get you out of this.”
“No!” She said, too loud.  Red peeked out beneath her mask, dusting her nose and cheeks. She shook her head, tried again. “I mean– no.  Th-that’s okay. I’m kind of the reason you’re in this mess in the first place, right?”
That wasn’t entirely true, but Adrien wasn’t going to point out the embarrassingly obvious.  If she wanted to pretend he hadn’t made a total ass of himself to the press, well, who was he to stop her?
“Besides,” She said, shy smile peeking through her nerves. “There are worse ways to spend my time.”
“Heh,” Now it was his turn to blush. “Really? I mean, yeah. Ah.  Yeah.”
Gods strike him dead. 
He was barely in this and already making a fool of himself.
“Adrien,” His father snapped, drawing their attention back to the front of the room.  “Do pay attention. This is your scandal we’re dealing with.”
“Yes, father.” He murmured.
Scandal.
The word hung in the air like an accusation.  Unfair, really, and an exaggeration. There wasn’t anything particularly scandalous about what was happening.  It was more… sensational.
And it started, as these things usually do, with a rumor.
Some one anonymous person on the Internet or another asking the question: who should be dating Adrien Agreste?
Since the he’d ‘gone public’ on social media and started sharing more details about his personal life, speculation was rife over which if any of the girls featured on his instagram were worthy of his attention.
A ridiculous question really when, as he told his commenters, they were all just friends.  On the record, he wasn’t interested in anyone.
Off the record? Well, he was working on that.
Nevertheless, the rumors spiraled, as they usually do, from there.
Clara Nightingale was written off as too old, Chloe Bourgeois as too mean, and his school friends as too low-key.  It wasn’t until one inspiration-struck individual suggested Ladybug that the message boards lost their collective minds.
Video mashups of Ladybug’s press conferences, fan footage, and Agreste ads started making the rounds.  Doctored images of Ladybug and Adrien embracing, staring longingly into each other’s eyes, or even just standing near each other were rampant on sites like tumblr.  All and any of the little real interactions the two shared were shared and dissected and shared again.  One manic evening, after Audrey Bourgeois was akumatized and Ladybug was seen carrying the supermodel across the city, #ladrien started trending on Parisian twitter finally meriting the attention of major news outlets.
How all of this rumbling underbelly of Ladybug lore managed to miss him was a mystery.  But whether through school or modeling or whatever it was his father scheduled to max out his free time, Adrien didn’t hear about #buggreste or #ladrien or whatever the kids were calling it these days.
That is, he hadn’t, until his disastrous post-photoshoot run-in with Nadja Chamack.
“Adrien, a moment.” She said, accosting him just as he was about to enter his limo.  “Is it true that you and Ladybug are dating?”
The question, one right out of his deepest, most desperate dreams, stopped him cold.
The camera focused in on him, a journalist’s dream: eyes wide and bright, cheeks so, so red.
“I–” He nearly tripped over his feet as he turned to face the reporter and her camera. “Where did you hear that?”
“So it’s true?” She asked, forcing the microphone closer.
“She– I… Me?” He stammered, more flustered and starry-eyed by the minute.  Unfortunately for the viewers at home, Gabriel’s assistant Nathalie stepped in front of the camera blocking him from view.
“That will be all.”
But the damage was done.
What once was a dizzy-eyed fangirl’s daydream turned into the hottest gossip to hit Paris since the superheroes first stepped onto the scene.
By the time it officially hit the Ladyblog it was regarded by everyone not in the know as fact. Alya did her best, really, she did, to stem the tides. For the sake of #ladynoir (and her best friend) she had to try.  But when Monday rolled around and the contrite blogger finally managed to catch up with Marinette there really wasn’t much left to say.
“I’m so sorry, girl,” She said, throwing her arms around her friend. “No one will listen to reason.”
Marinette shrugged. “It’s okay, Alya.  It’s kind of funny when you think about it.”
“It’s ridiculous is what it is,” She said. “Ladybug and Chat Noir are already together.”
“I don’t know about that,” Marinette said, rolling her eyes. “But it is rather reckless.  If it is true, I mean.  Imagine the akumas.”
“I’m sure Adrien will be fine, M.  It’s just gossip. Everything will blow over in a few days.”
Things did not blow over. 
They blew up.
And Marinette could only blame herself.
It was unfair, really, for the reporters to corner her like they did.  Ladybug and Chat were mid bien joue when they descended, rabid dogs wild for the latest scoop.
“Ladybug, can you comment on the Adrien situation?”
“Um,” She said, leaning further into Chat’s side as they encircled her. “No?”
Another microphone was shoved in her face. “So you’re saying you’re not interested in him?”
“No. I– wait yes.  I mean no.  I mean–” She laughed, nervous.  “What was the question?”
It was a rambling mistake on her part, a Marinette-ism sneaking through the mask.  But it was so hard for her to think with the flashing bulbs and shouted questions and rolling cameras.  Her miraculous was beeping and Chat’s arm gripped her waist as he pulled her close.
“I believe that’s all the time Lady has for today.” Chat said, extending his baton and vaulting them up, up, upward until they reached the nearby rooftops.  “Catch you later!”
Her partner was good for things like that.  Unfortunately he couldn’t save her from her runaway mouth and the resulting headline carnage.
Bug Outted! Secret Romance with Adrien Agreste CONFIRMED!
Buggreste or Ladrien?  YOU Decide.
The Claws are OUT: Chat Noir and His Plan to Win Ladybug Back
The last one featured a picture of Chat Noir sneering at the camera as he pulled a flustered Ladybug out of the paparazzi’s line of fire.  For days afterwards the Internet was abuzz with the news that she was cheating on Adrien with her partner which resulted in at least one akumatization.
The whole thing was more than a little ridiculous.
For obvious reasons, Ladybug thought it best to avoid being seen anywhere near the Agreste estate, but after a swarm of reporters chased Adrien down at the school things seemed a little… desperate.
Gabriel Agreste was the one who called for the meeting.
A stern direction for Adrien to make the request on his friend’s “little blog” was enough to send the forums into a tizzy.  But it was the news footage of Ladybug swinging over the vaulted gates of the Agreste manor that really set them going.
All of which culminated in this moment:
Adrien and Ladybug, red-faced and more than a little mortified, staring down the ultimate PR campaign.
“So we’re agreed then,” Gabriel said, looking down his nose at the blushing teens. “The two of you will carry on this… relationship for a time before breaking it off.  The public fervor will die down and we can move on from this disaster.  Are we clear?”
Adrien cast a searching look towards Ladybug, everything he’d ever wanted since he was fifteen.  She met his gaze and gave him a tentative but nonetheless heartstopping smile. A small thrill shot down his spine as the reality of what they were agreeing to sunk in.
The opportunity to date Ladybug with his father’s blessing?
Hell fucking yes.
Adrien met Gabriel’s steely gaze with his own.
“Absolutely.”

I really don't understand why people are arguing with you over this. It's your art. You get final say in what happens with it. End of. (It's amazing btw, and I'm in awe of how quick you did it)
They are probably taking it personally because they did it/were going to do it before and so they feel the need to justify themselves by acting as defenders.
They wont understand how harmful it could be to artists unless someone called them. And well i did. And so they want to argue.
But thanks for understanding. And for the compliment!

How much more to Anchor in the Dark do you think there is? I mean, two, three ko-fi requests worth? And how much extra would someone need to pay for it to be a happy ending? And also has anyone asked for more curly fry crush recently, because I know you said you were nearly done with your list?
I can pile on the angst but I don’t think I’ve ever written a sad ending to a story because I’m a sucker for a happy ending so have no fears, sweets! As far as to how much more I think there will be, I have a few ideas that could keep it going for a while. There is a lot to delve into and Chat Noir doesn’t remember his past life much so there is a lot of that which can be explored while they are trying to figure everything else out. Right now, there are two more parts coming for sure (one for a birthday drabble and one from a ko-fi donation by the lovely @squellybell).
As of now, that is the only ko-fi request I have so I’d be happy to write more of Anchor in the Dark, Curly Fry Crush, or any other drabbles you guys would like to donate to! Each drabble is two ko-fi ($6).

Ask game 12, 22, 26, and 45 please ^_^ (though I really want to know your answers to pretty much all of them XD)
Based on these asks
12. Have you ever written a fic and decided never to publish it? Why?
Thanks to the way my mind works, once I start a thing I’m usually compelled to finish it before starting anything else. And once it’s finished, it gets published. So far the only exception to this was a fic that I titled “Tom and Sabine’s Ship Wars”, where I finished the first chapter of five and then I got distracted by other projects.
I intend to return to it eventually, but right now I’m trying to juggle two other fics and Nanowrimo is coming up so... yeah. It’ll be at least until December before I even touch it again. XD
22. Has there ever been anyone who’s made you freak out because they read your work and followed/favorited/reviewed?
Oh, plenty! In fact, I found a lot of good authors because I’d follow their username from follows on tumblr or comments on Ao3 and find all their work. I have a few that I’m particularly proud of on tumblr, but I won’t name names. ;)
26. What aspect of your writing do you most enjoy to see praised?
Exposition, dialogue, and how true I stay to characterizations, since all of those are things I stress out about a lot. So getting praise on them makes it all feel worthwhile.
45. If you had to call yourself an author of a single genre (besides fanfic) what label would you give yourself?
Fantasy since I was first inspired to write thanks to running D&D campaigns. And a fantasy story will also be the focus of my nanowrimo project. If we’re just focusing on the main body of my work than romance and fluff seems to be my hat.
Thanks for the ask!
