#but then two seconds later hawkmoth says some shit like ‘ladybug you will dance… THE DANCE OF DOOM’ or whatever

[oflgtfol]

i think the thing about miraculous ladybug is that for how utterly silly it is, it does really succeed at setting up intriguing and potentially complex character dynamics, that the silly tone of the show continuously does not follow through with, which is hilarious, but i can see why people are upset that it isnt as deep as it could be. like the whole love square thing is insane. the fandom makes it so angsty but the show just milks it for dramatic irony and comedy. and both takes on it are great 👍

Onto Bubbler...

Before it starts I wanted to say I have beef with Nino in this episode cause he makes his best friend's birthday about his hurt feelings and it's annoying and he didn't even get him a present

It was actually pretty nice of Plagg to try to give him that present

We love Sabine on this blog

Did Nathalie not even try to get him something herself??? She practically raised him!

Y'all should throw a small party at school if a house one isn't gonna work

Marinette is beyond thoughtful for MAKING him a gift.

EVEN CHLOE DIDNT REMEMBER IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY???

Are you seriously telling me Paris's Teen Sweetheart didn't have a fan club that is celebrating his birthday at all? He's not getting letters in the mail? Or fans coming up to him at school? Or MORE people telling his dad to throw a party/throwing one for him??? This episode is just. Idk man.

Marinette has been a called a push over in the last two episodes (and this is the SECOND EPISODE) so it's amazing to see how far she's come!!!!

ADRIEN HAD A PHOTOSHOOT SCHEDULED ON HIS BIRTHDAY? THATS SO UGHHHHHHHHHH AND DURING HIS LUNCH BREAK TOO

Bro. Nino says he's gonna go to Adrien's house and Marinette and Alya are in the background. Cut to only Marinette and Alya at Adrien's house. Did Nino get lost????

Alya can you please tell Adrien later that it was from Marinette?

NATHALIE YOU SNAKE

Wild how Gabriel really did come out to talk to Nino. Ohhhh he wanted to make Nino an akuma. Gotcha.

DONT SIT ALONE AND BE UPSET NINO. THIS ISNT ABOUT YOU. BE WITH ADRIEN. HE WAS JUST TOLD ON HIS BIRTHDAY THAT HIS BEST FRIEND COULDNT EVER COME AROUND HIS HOUSE AND YOURE JUST GONNA WALK AWAY??? GO BACK TO SCHOOL TOGETHER AT LEAST????? Speaking of, that photoshoot was super quick? And why was he dropped off at his house? No way lunch break is that fast???? Go to school??????

Ugly ass akuma

Gabriel seriously made an akuma who specifically hates and is mad at him 🤦🏽‍♀️

What even counts as an "adult" here? 18+ or like out of university or like old enough to have kids or-

I'm a Nathalie hater I dunno yall I can't believe her this episode.

Just a weird ass akuma

This being his first party makes me wanna cry.

NINO IF YOU TURN ON A SLOW DANCE BECAUSE CHLOE ASKED YOU TO THEN YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT ADRIEN. HE WAS VISIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE EARLIER THAT DAY WHEN SHE WAS UP ON HIM OH MY GOD.

NO ITS THE ADRIENETTE SLOW DANCE SONG NO NO NO

I think Ladybug should be allowed to use her power selfishly like this more often.

Did no one hear when Ladybug said "yours truly"??? It was pretty loud

No one knows how old ladybug and chat noir even are so people might be imagining they're also just stuck in bubbles lol. Oh god, if Adrien and Marinette were adults then they wouldn't be able to transform like that out in the open and THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A GOOD PLAN TO TRAP THEM OR FIND OUT THEIR IDENTITIES HAWKMOTH JESUS. What you have to do is: Bubbler brings all the bubbles together so you can see them all in one spot. Have Bubbler WATCH, not just throw a party. If someone inside transforms then great! You know who they are. But if LB and or CN show up anyway then you know they're not an adult and that whittles down your search BY A LOT.

Girl is pretty brave for writing "Love, Marinette"

Nathaniel has some Shuichi energy hm

Cool moves...

"But adults keep children, safe, and protected. They care for their kids, they love them!" "Most adults do, anyhow." JESUS CHRIST WAY TO GO STRAIGHT FOR THR HEART

Him throwing his staff for her to swing her yo-yo around was completely unnecessary-

You can really see how the stakes change between the beginning and end of the show. "Oh I'm stuck in a bubble for awhile and just have to wait an hour at most to go back to my normal day" to "oh the world is ending"

Adrien is such a good boy...

One day- NO ONE HOUR of no adults and suddenly every thing everyone is trying to mail will be late for another week. Huh

Marinette didn't take the credit 🥺

"You're amazing Marinette, someone Adrien will see that too." Cut to not even a full season later Adrien leaning back in Marinette's desk chair, "You're amazing, Marinette."

SOMEONE GET THIS BOY A LEGIT BIRTHDAY OR SO HELP ME

Don’t Answer the Phone Tired pt.1

It's been a long week for Damian and Marinette, between fighting Akuma's as Robin and Ladybug then dealing with Liela all day. Both are thoroughly exhausted so who can blame him for not checking caller ID?

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

ok so this one does have a planned sequel, but I’m gonna work on the follow up to A Quick Meeting first. Again thank you @ozmav for the inspiration from your Maribat au. I love playing around with it, I also am posting all my stories to my Ao3 account, the unoriginal name of Emu_Lumberjack if you want to read it over there too.

It had been a long week and all Damian wanted to do was go to sleep curled up with his angel of a girlfriend Marinette. They had been dating for months, she had asked him out about a month after he came to Paris. Two days after she found out he was Robin and he found out she was Ladybug. He hadn’t told his family yet, afterall who knows what Grayson would do if he found out he was dating Marinette Dupain-Cheng. The MDC, Jagged stone’s personal designer among many of her other accomplishments. The duo were sitting on the deck outside Marinette's room, they had planned to watch a movie on his phone but fifteen minutes in and she was snoring softly curled up next to Damian with his arm around her shoulder. Her blue-black hair had been freed from it’s twintails, Damian brushed some stray hairs out of her face. It had been a long week for her especially.

They had been working with the Miracle team: Chat Noir, Ryuko, and Viperion because Hawk Moth was creating more akumas than he had before and they were up almost every night. Then for Marinette, Damian, and Adrien dealing with Lila and the class was a waking nightmare. It had been two years since Lila came to Paris, and the hate she seeded against Marinette had only grown. Marinette dealt with online harassment from her former classmates and whenever they saw her at school they would throw paper or pencils at her.

Damian was well aware of how is angel was treated and the only reason he hadn’t pulled the “Wayne” card was because Marinette insisted she could handle it herself, what she did as ladybug made him certain she could handle the asshats herself, it didn’t mean he didn’t want to protect her though. Especially after days like today.

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

Lila had started a new lie, saying she was best friends with the Waynes and actually was looking to ask out Tim the second youngest, but was scared because they were childhood friends and she didn’t want to ruin the relationship. Damian could not fathom why someone would make up such a blatantly false lie, or why someone would want to date Drake. He was just about to march over there and smack her with enough lawsuits to bury her for over a year, until Marinette put her calloused hand in his and shook her head no.

“Marinette whats wrong?” Lila asked, innocent as a storm cloud.

“Nothings wrong, Lila.” Marinette responded quietly

“Really because it looked like Damian had to hold you back there. Wait, are you jealous of me? Really Marinette I would expect more of you, some of us are just lucky enough to have connections.” Bitch Damian thought. Usually he wasn’t one to call women names, only using them for his mother, but Lila was the exception.

“Lila I could seriously care less about who you do or don’t know. I’m happy with Damian and my sewing work.” Marinette had regained some of her confidence and Damian could see the fire in her eyes, the one usually gone when she was around Lila.

Alya came up behind Lila and loudly proclaimed, “Oh. My. God. Marinette come on! What is it with you and being jealous of Lila first it was with Adrien,” Marinette scoffed, “now with Tim?” Alya was the one who hurt Marinette the most when she joined with Lila, but now Marinette realized just how toxic the faux reporter had been. Dragging her around, not listening when she said no, and refusing to look at the facts.

“Alya I’m not jealous, and I’d like to remind you Adrien and I are like siblings now.” Marinette turned to leave when Alya put a hand on her shoulder stopping her.

“Why are you leaving. We’re not done here.” A sneer crossed the girl's face.

“Alya, please take your hand off of my shoulder. I’m leaving because it’s lunch break and I said I’d meet up with Kagami and Luka.” Her voice was calm and cool, no hint of warmth for the person she once considered a sister.

Alya removed her hand, only to shove it back pushing the Bluenette to the ground. Damian lost it. Within seconds he was in between the two girls and seconds later had Alya pinned to the cold cement.

“If you ever. Ever. touch her again I will bury you.” He said loud enough for her ears only. Fast as he had attacked he got up and went over to Marinette. “Angel are you ok? How can I help.” The fire that was just in his eyes changed to concern.

“I’m fine Damian, let's just go.” Marinette was hiding her eyes from the rest of the crowd, because even though she said she was fine there were still small tears threatening to become a torrential downpour if she wasn’t careful. That's when the akuma alarm began. “Anyway I think we have an akuma to fight.”

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

The obnoxious Hamster Dance song was what woke Damian up from his dream. Marinette was still asleep next to him, bleary eyed he looked at his phone. Who the hell would be calling at this hour he thought. Swiping right he answered the call with a brisk “What the fuck do you want.”

“Good to hear from you, kid.” Oh. Shit. Damian woke up as if Alfred had dumped ice water on him, because on the other end was Richard Grayson. Grayson who was the biggest gossip of any of his siblings, his siblings who didn’t know about Marinette. “Wait. Hold up. Is that a girl next to you?” Grayson asked, acting innocent but the laughter in his eyes told Damian all he needed to know about what was going inside the eldest Wayne’s head.

“Grayson I do not have a girlfriend.” Damian’s face grew red.

“Bullshit.” A soft voice came out next to him. So Marinette’s not as asleep as she seems.

“Ohhhhhh! I cannot wait to tell Tim, and Jason, and,” he paused, “oh my gosh the girls are gonna have a field day…” Dick kept going on as Damian tried to sputter out sentences in rebuttal. Marinette now fully awake was shaking with laughter next to him. Finally after a solid three minutes Damian finally was able to sputter out a sentence, “I. Am. Going. To. kill. you.” Grayson just started laughing and Marinette smiled at him. Even when he was threatening death he was cute, it didn’t hurt that his bed head was adorable. With a few more scattered insults in Romani Damian turned off the chat.

“Well Angel it looks like we’re going to face a worse danger than any Hawkmoth could throw our way.” He said solemnly.

“Oh really? And what's that?” she asked sweetly

“My brothers.”

Miraculous New Jersey Special Part 2/3

1 /2 /3

Rewritten Masterlist

New Jersey Masterlist

"Well isn't this guy just precious?" Kon said staring down at Adrien from behind sunglasses making the blond more nervous by the second.

"Kon..." Kara said warningly arms crossed. "We promised dad some grilling too, and Biz, don't wanna make the big guy mad," Kara reminded Kon.

"Kara!" Jon said eyes wide at the thought of Biz using backward threats on his boyfriend.

"Oh come on, you know I'm just teasing, how's it been kiddo?" Kara said pulling Jon into a hug making the raven-haired teen let out a sigh of relief but she glared at Adrien over her cousin's head. A red head girl walked over to Kara smiling.

"Ready, we're going back to the hotel we're in charge," Barbara said smirking.

"This is going to be a nightmare," Damian said grabbing the handle of his suitcase pulling it by his side toward a bus.

"Oh cheer up kid, we're going to have a great time," Barabra said before noticing Marinette. "Hey you're Jon's cousin right?" she asked and Marinette nodded. "You're so adorable, this really isn't fair Kara, why are all of you so darn cute," Barabra complained to her blonde friend who rolled her eyes.

"Kansas charm darling," Kara said and Adrien blushed confusing Kara. " Something funny?" she asked with a smile.

"Jon says that all the time, I thought that was just a him thing," Adrien said laughing nervously.

"There's a lot more to our family than you know kiddo," Kara smirked walking to the bus screaming at kids along with Kon who just glared them on.

Marinette boarded the bus staring at Damian from her seat which Barbara immediately took notice of and nudged Kara.

"We have to get those two together," Barbara said and Kara tilted her head thinking before walking over to Jon.

"What is your opinion on Mari and Damian dating?" Kara asked and Jon bit his lip.

"I promised I wouldn't meddle, she's trying to get over him," Jon said and Kara laughed.

"Yeah, and she's failing hilariously, just leave it to us, we can get them together," Kara said and Adrien was staring at him confused as to what the Kents were discussing.

"Fine but Adrien can't know." Kara ruffled Jon's hair before running back to her seat.

"Let's make this fun," Kara said to Barbra rubbing her hands together.

"I can do fun, what about tomorrow at that museum they're supposed to go to?" Barbara asked pulling up the schedule on her phone.

"I can have something ready by then," Kara said and the bus stopped outside the hotel.

Damian took a deep breath before walking into his room which he would sadly be sharing with Nino, Adrien, and Jon trusting that the presence of Nino and himself could make Adrien and Jon behave for at least a week.

Gabriel had a plan. He had an evil plan that would help him get the miraculous of the eagle and no matter how much it hurt him to jeopardise his son's relationship with Jon he had more important things to worry about like getting his wife back. He would make a super Joker who would steal something for him causing a diversion to get him to the miraculous without heroes even noticing it's gone they would be too focused on something else.

"Ok so if we trap them in there together Damian will go into protective mode and feel the overwhelming need to save Marinette," Barbara started pacing around her room and Kara watched.

"They really need to feel like they're never going to see each other again, we might need more help," Kara said before banging on the wall next to them. Biz, Jason, Tim, and Kon stood at the door seconds later.

"You rang ever so politely?" Jason asked winking at Kara who shoved him.

"We're trying to get your little brother a date idiot, if you ever want to see him happy then please just do us this favor," Kara said before going into an in-depth plan which would involve a lot of tech and a late night.

"You guys have to keep the students entertained, they're chilling on the roof," Tim said sitting down next to Barbara.

"We can do that as long as you bats can work fast enough," Kara said smiling cracking her knuckles.

"Don't kill them!" Barabra called after her.

Kara, Biz, and Kon stood on the roof looking at teens taking in the sights. Biz stared at Jon and Adrien the blond had his arm wrapped around Jon's waist as Jon's head leaned on his shoulder.

"They are not cute," Biz said wiping a tear from his eyes.

"Glad we agree on that Biz," Kara said before skipping over to Marinette smiling.

"She's planning something, she's giving me the eyes," Jon whispered to Adrien who looked over at Kara who waved innocently to them.

"Can I get someone to help me out over here!" Kara yelled and Kim's head shot up at that voice.

"I can," Kim said and Kara handed him a guitar and motioned for Jon to come over. "Time to show how truly super we are," Kara said winking.

"You wouldn't," Jon said eyes widening as Kara handed him his violin from youth and grabbed her cello.

"Play," Kara said and the two supers started to play a low familiar melody. Marinette's ears perked up as her favorite song came on and suddenly Kara's mouth opened singing a slight melody over it.

"I hate the way you avoid your feelings each day, whisper to me whet's the truth I don't ever like to lose. Hold me so tight all through the night remember as we make a vow midnight dance don't fail me now," Kara started and Jon then took over tapping out the beat on his violin instead of playing.

"My heart escapes my chest when you say, I'll be yours and you'll be mine hold on til the end of time." Damian held his hand out to Marinette asking her silently to dance. Kara and Jon continued to sing together smiling at each other as Kara's crazy plan worked.

"You're actually insane," Jon said as they walked down the stairs to their rooms.

"You'll think we're crazier tomorrow trust me Jonno." Kara said turning off the lights smiling creepily.

"That does not make me feel better."

The class stood in front of an exhibit listening to a man drabble on about facts on some saber and necklace. Jon glanced at Kara who was asking Damian for a favor which he begrudgingly accepted stepping into the next room with Marinette a little farther behind.

A loud crash shook Marinette out of her thoughts and she jumped seeing a giant man with green hair who somewhat resembled the Joker. "What... who is that?" Marinette asked as the man came closer and Damian ran over as a gunshot went off aimed right for her head.

"What the hell is going on?" Damian asked helping Marinette up but being blocked in the room.

"What is happening in there?" Jon asked nervously and Tim waved a hand before pulling up some security footage.

"Everything is fin... that was not in the programing," Tim said suddenly stopping and starting to usher the students out of the museum.

"Damian!" Kara called out to the teen who was freaking out just a touch being trapped with no way to fight an akumatized Joker. "We're going to get you out of there ok?" Kara asked and Damian pulled Marinette away from another bullet.

"Yeah, no rush or anything," Damian said and Kara ripped her shirt becoming Supergirl and Kon and Biz soon followed becoming Prime and Bizzaro. Barbara changed quickly too following Kara into the fray.

"Get out of here now," Batgirl said and Marinette ran to Jon who changed too and Marinette knew something was off about the Joker thing but didn't want to ask.

Supergirl came flying back hit by a punch crashing into a pillar. "Who gave the Joker fucking super strength?" Red Hood asked. "Seriously, he gets all the cool shit."

"Not the time," Supergirl said getting back up and Adrien and Marinette thought they could help by transforming and fighting too.

"He's an akuma, one of our villains, I didn't know Hawkmoth could get this far," Ladybug said and Robin just joined them looking confused as to how or why Ladybug was there.

"That doesn't matter now, we just have to get him under control," Supergirl said and Chat used his power hands lighting up. "What are you going to do with that?" she asked confused and he smirked rushing toward Joker with the full intent to end things and impress his boyfriend's family when Joker swung at him and he flew toward Superboy so Supergirl pushed him out of the way and Chat held onto her watching as she slowly turned to gray dust.

Everyone was frozen.

A scream or the world's lowest growl could be heard from across the room and Superman charged punching Joker through the wall akuma leaving his body on his own free will but that didn't stop him from getting into a strange villain's car or taking him up on an insane offer just to get some jewelry.

"Kara?" Jon asked falling to his knees beside his cousin's ashes.

"What the fuck did you do?" Kon asked stepping toward Chat and the rest of the family soon did too.

"Wait no we can fix this," Ladybug said holding up her lucky charm she had called out earlier she threw it in the air and Kara was suddenly back to normal. Superman stood in front of Kara hugging her tightly and Batman landed down from the rafters.

"He escaped and without the help of you two, this is America, you're not needed here hand over your jewels until you leave, you could have seriously hurt Supergirl," Batman growled seeing Supergirl's eyes full of tears hugging Batgirl tight scared of the two teen heroes.

"And you two, I don't think it's safe for you two to go back to Paris with these so-called heroes and I don't think it's safe for Jon to be with Adrien anymore, you gave us your first impression, very unimpressed," Clark said crossing his arms and Marinette frowned.

"It was an accident," she said and Clark frowned.

"Next time we couldn't have been so lucky," Kon said getting closer and Ladybug nodded to Chat and the two split up. Jon tried to follow Chat but Biz kept a hand on his shoulder shaking his head. Jon pulled free flying after Adrien.

"I can't keep being a burden to you and Jon Marinette, I'm sorry but Plagg I renounce you," Adrien said taking off his ring and Adrien turned around facing Jon who just arrived. "I'm sorry Jon, I don't want to hurt you or anyone else anymore, maybe it's better if you just stay here find someone more like you," Adrien said and Jon broke down sobbing as Adrien ran away and Marinette stood there shocked but helped Jon up walking him back to the hotel together in the rain.

Gabriel stood staring out his window rubbing his new necklace smirking. Everything was going according to plan and soon he would have his wife back.

Damian stared off the edge of the roof of the hotel and heard footsteps behind him.

"Jon told me you don't believe in love," Marinette said shocking Damian.

"I think everything that we saw today proves that maybe love isn't as strong as we thought it was and maybe it can't hold up against anything. It stinks, I was looking forward to spending more time in Paris with you Marinette," Damian said turning away. "I have to go back to Gotham." Marinette stood there watching him leave silently and he turned back once more to give her a slight smile. "You're quite a girl Marinette." He closed the door and Marinette sank to her knees sobbing.

"I'll miss you."
