#chloe's birthday picnic

[angelbaby-fics]

hi! for the birthday picnic event, may i request loki and reader who's in babyspace? just full of love and happiness. <3

awwwweee i miss writing for loki!! thank you for requesting this, i love writing babyspace as well so this was cute 💕 143 words

you couldn't talk, but you didn't need to; as always, loki just knew. "why hello, my little darling," he cooed as he lifted you out of your crib. you were always extra small after naptime, and it was one of loki's favorite times of the day. he carried you over to his big bed and quickly changed you out of your pajamas and into a long onesie made of soft plush fabric, gave you a paci, and brought you into the playroom. he sat down and tried to set you onto your fluffy rug for some tummy time, but you resisted, holding tight onto loki's shirt. "don't you want to play darling? look!" he picked up a plush with a rattle inside, shaking it around for you. you giggled through your paci and loki leaned in to place a kiss onto the plastic.

you’re invited to my birthday picnic!

 🦋 Life Is Strange: Relationship Headcanons.

🦋 some short headcanons on what it's like in a relationship with my six favourites :)

🐺 GN!Reader, no specific pronouns are mentioned!

🦋 warnings: cheesy romantic stuff, swearing, jealousy, insecurities and toxic relationships (nathan)

🎧A/N: I send these out faster than my brain can handle, I have no idea why it hasn't turned to pure dust yet.

🦋Chloe Price:

🤍Wacky, trashy dates that don't cost a ton of money, she definitely cannot afford to go to super expensive places so the junkyard, train tracks and just simply walking about late at night is the best you're gonna get.

🤍On one date, she bought/possibly stole this tacky little lighthouse figure for you so you could put it nearby and when you see it, you'll automatically think of her.

🤍She was SO nervous asking you out even if you guys were super close, like shaking and fidgeting with her hands type of nervous.

🤍Offers to paint your nails sometimes but she literally only owns black nail polish, so you'll have to make do.

🤍She totally believes she's a badass 100%, I'd be lying if I said she hasn't climbed through your window at least once.

🤍Jealous? She's in the middle, she trusts you but is also scared some dickhead is gonna get the wrong idea.

🍂Kate Marsh:

🤍She seems like she'd enjoy those cute little picnic dates or movie nights, as long as it's not a horror movie. Kate can't cope when she's watching ANYTHING horror-wise, she's holding onto your arm the whole time.

🤍She'll buy you a small gift here and there but she also likes sketching you or painting your favourite place to go together, she's pretty artistic.

🤍If you couldn't tell already, she ADORES you, she could literally spend hours just looking at you.

🤍When she finally confesses to you, she cries happy tears and stares at you in pure disbelief as if she's just waiting for you to tell her it's a prank or somethin'.

🤍Kate trusts you entirely and knows you won't just leave her, not after all the things you guys have gone through together.

📷Max Caulfield:

🤍You have to be on pretty good terms with Chloe, she's literally Max's best friend. As long as you aren't a major asshole, you'll be fine.

🤍She takes photos of you, so many photos. Photos at the beach, photos at the diner, photos of you half asleep, photos of you in a banana costume that one halloween, photos of you brushing your teeth.

🤍It's like dating your best friend, even if you guys weren't that close when you first met, you are now motherfucker!

🤍Max can't cook, at all. Do not expect anything other than burnt grilled cheese or off-brand cereal if you were to ever get anything breakfast-wise.

🤍If you can cook then, oh boy! She will definitely refer to you as her beloved private chef with a huge grin on her face.

🤍Max thinks being jealous is for cheesy middle schoolers, she doesn't really care.

 🎭Rachel Amber:

🤍Oh my god, she fucking loves you. In her eyes, you're literally an angel with wings that she scored with pure luck, she 100% hangs out with you nearly all time and is a little paranoid that something could happen to you out of the blue.

🤍Expensive gifts, you're literally collecting them from her at this point. On your birthday, she read out a poem she wrote herself with dramatics and all.

🤍She has to be really close with you to fall genuinely head over heels so, well done!

🤍Unlike Max, Rachel can actually cook like she could serve up a whole 5 star, three course meal with rarely any effort.

🤍She has a box under her bed which is just full of photos and sketches of the both of you.

🤍It's in Rachel's blood to be..a little jealous, she'd be broken if you were to just lose interest in her completely.

 🎬Victoria Chase:

🤍Shocker but you HAVE to get along with Nathan, or somehow tolerate him but I can understand how that could be hard.

🤍Victoria is so damn wealthy and is nearly always buying you cute little necklaces or expensive ass things to put in your room, she loves going on dates with you but she'll freak out if anyone sees you together in public and you aren't nearly as popular as her.

🤍She also takes photos of you a lot, she has a weird nerdy side that only you and Nathan really know about.

🤍If she's open about your relationship, she definitely posts those cheesy middle-school posts about you and refers to you as `her light, her inspiration and the moon to her sun` she 100% sees herself as the sun because she's bright and fun and you're just you.

🤍Victoria gets jealous SO easily. She has to bite her tongue to stop her from saying something she shouldn't sometimes, she'll just look at you with an annoyed ass look on her face if you're doing something she doesn't like.

🎮 Warren Graham:

🤍Ever stayed up till 4:30AM playing shitty ass multiplayer games with snacks in your lap like you need junk food to survive? Well, now you'll be doing that all the time with him! He seriously won't give up and he's the first person to let you know when the new game you guys have been wanting to buy is on sale.

🤍He's a dork but he's a dork that helps you with studying when you need it, he's already outside your door before you can even pick up your phone to text him.

🤍You know those zodiac tiktoks kids make? Yeah, he'll have a fucking fit if they're not accurate and he seriously believes those but will pretend he doesn't.

🤍He'll maybe buy you a cheap ass video game here and there but other than that he'll probably just write you a little love letter and slide it under your door which is SO fucking cute.

🤍Warren can get jealous sometimes and I feel like he'd be kind of insecure about if he's a good boyfriend or not.

 🧨Nathan Prescott:

🤍If I'm being honest, it isn't the healthiest relationship exactly and he freaks the fuck out if you stop replying to his texts suddenly because he needs your attention constantly.

🤍He's terrified that you'll get fed up of his shitty behaviour and bail, so he's constantly trying to make it up to you. He'll buy you a new camera, expensive equipment or just blow up your phone if that doesn't work.

🤍He'd be open about your relationship depending on your popularity and if you're a guy or not, he's still probably going through some denial but he still loves you the same even if he's a complete asshole.

🤍Nathan suffers from really bad nightmares and without warning you'll just wake up to him shuffling around your room in the middle of the night and then ask if he can stay over but pretend he didn't the next day, even though it keeps happening nearly every night.

🤍So jealous, like really jealous, he wants you to only have eyes for him and is a sucker for your attention only.

parents evening

jj is your little sisters school teacher !!

what happens when jj begins to notice the tell tale signs of a troubled home?

tw: mentions of home abuse and injuries

“Chloe! We’re going to be late again!” you shouted up the stairs as you heard your little sister scamper around her bedroom.

“One minute! I need Miss Jenny’s card!” The five-year-old replied and you sighed.

“Chloe!” You whined after a few more moments.

“I’m coming!” The sassy girl said, hurrying towards the stairs. Her backpack- three times too big- sat on her shoulders and she held a crumbled card in her left hand whilst the other held onto the handrail.

“Finally, Jesus,” you huffed and grabbed the house keys.

“I had to get Miss Jenny’s card! It’s her birthday!” Chloe groaned and took hold of her sister’s hand.

“I’m sure Miss Jenny would appreciate you being on time more than an old card, muffin.” YOu chuckled. You lifted your sister onto the bike and she got comfortable before standing up behind her. “Hold on!” You giggled as you began to pedal off the driveway.

You reached the school just as Miss Jenny was going to go in. She saw you both tumble off the bike and laughed as you picked up Chloe, practically throwing her into the schoolyard.

“She made it!” You laughed and blushed as Jennifer laughed. She was so unbelievably pretty it made you breathless every time. She tucked some hair behind her ear as Chloe ran up to her - more like waddled up to her with her ginormous bag. You were planning on getting her a new one when you had a bit more money.

“Happy Birthday Miss Jenny!! We made you a card!” Chloe cheered, holding up the crumbled piece of paper.

“Chloe made you a card,” you interjected. Jennifer laughed and took the card from the small girl, looking over it. She smiled widely at the drawing on the front. You blushed madly.

“Chloe!” You groaned. “Where did you find that?” Jennifer laughed even louder.

“It was in your bedroom! I thought it was for Miss Jenny’s birthday card!” Chloe sassed back, throwing up her hands. You shook your head and didn’t dare look at Jennifer.

“Just go to school, you little thief,” you whispered. Your sister rolled her eyes before walking into the building. Jennifer stayed holding the door open for a few more minutes, looking at you. You could feel her blue eyes surveying you.

“You’re very talented,” she said after a few moments.

“Erm,” you giggled nervously. “Thank you.”

“I’ll let you go. Will I be seeing you this evening?” She asked, beginning to close the door. You stumbled. Tonight? What was happening tonight?

“Yes definitely!” You said, a wide smile on your face, hoping it was believable.

“Awesome, see you then y/n.”

The door shut and you stood awkwardly in the children’s playground. Trying so hard not to blush. How on earth did Chloe find your drawings of her? God she better not have the others too! Then, you remembered your exam. Your art exam - the one you had to finish today or you failed.

The day went okay. You managed to finish the art piece, the picnic in the woods, just before you had to pick Chloe up. You’d also been paid so you knew you could treat your little superstar to some nice dinner for once. You knew she was getting sick of the rice and pasta but you couldn’t afford to get her anything else really. You rode your bike the scenic route to the school, knowing you would be on time to get your little monkey..

However, as you neared the school, you noticed the children coming out. You checked the time - it was half an hour early! You sped up and as you got closer you saw more and more children leaving school. You headed around to Chloe’s yard and dropped your bike before heading in. Chloe was the only one still standing there, next to Miss Jenny - holding her hand tightly.

“Has the school times changed?” you asked as Chloe ran into your arms.

“Oh! Did you not get the text? We closed early today due to parents' evening.” Jennifer replied.

“Parents evening?” you questioned.

“You said you were coming this morning?” Jennifer asked, tilting her head and you blushed again.

“Oh yes, sorry I’ve had such a busy day!” You sighed, getting embarrassed at being caught in a lie. “What time does it start again?”

“It starts at four we finish at eight.”

“Okay, any time between then?”

“Anytime between then. Preferably earlier so I can get home for a glass of wine on my birthday,” she laughed.

Chloe yawned into your neck and shuffled in closer to your arms. You smiled and held your sister closer.

“Looks like the little one has had a busy day too,” Jennifer laughed. “Have a good evening, I’ll see you tomorrow Chloe!” You waved as you headed out of the gates. Now Chloe was asleep in your arms, you had to manoeuvre the bike off the ground and walk with it home. You knew it’d be a long walk since it was usually about a 20-minute ride.

You made it to the driveway eventually and paused. The red car was back. Meaning your father was back. You quickly hid behind the bush and started to wake Chloe up, shaking her gently.

“Sweetheart,” you mumbled, jumping her up and down a little.

“Morning time already?” she whispered, rubbing her eyes. You laughed and shook your head.

“Do you want to go visit Freddy?” you asked gently. She nodded and smiled.

“Come on then,” you said softly. You grabbed your phone and rang your best friend. In less than five minutes, Freddy pulled up in her car and opened the door.

“In you get cheeky monkey!” Freddy cheered.

“Thank you so much, I love you. I’ll be over later tonight,” you whispered, kissing your sister’s cheek as you put her seatbelt on. “I love you Chlo, be a good girl for Freddy.”

“Bye sis, love you!” she replied sleepily.

You entered the house, trying to avoid your father. You could hear him snoring in his chair as the TV crackled in the background. Ever since your mother passed during childbirth, you’d been Chloe’s main caregiver. Nearly twenty now, you’d raised Chloe since you were 14 and it had been hard. Yet you’d done it. Your father, even when Mum was alive, was never around.

You began packing bags for Chloe and yourself, making sure you had enough to couch-hop for a few days until your dad had left town again. He was a lorry driver so he was usually gone for days or weeks at a time. You knew it wasn’t fair to have Chloe couch-hopping with you but you’d rather she did that than sit at home and endure your father the way you did at her age.

Then you heard him shout you. You silently cursed and headed down the stairs, hiding the bags behind the door so he didn’t know you were leaving.

“Where’s my dinner?” he grumbled.

“I’m just going to start making it now,” you said softly, heading into the kitchen.

“Now? I’ve been home for half an hour! It’s meant to be ready for me then!” He shouted and you flinched.

You checked the time on your phone as you headed from the house. He was drunk now, passed out on the sofa and you were sweating. It was 735 meaning you had 25 minutes to get to the school for parents' evening. But that didn’t matter to you, right now the one person you wanted to see was her. Miss Jenny. It was silly to you sometimes how much you appreciated your little sister’s teacher but when you had had a bad day and your shining star comes home with all these funny stories about the prettiest woman you’d ever laid eyes on, it just offered you a sort of comfort you craved. The way Jennifer smiled at you and praised you for being such a good big sister. You loved hearing her laugh or watching her interact with the children. She had the sweetest soul and it melted you.

You made it with five minutes to eight and you chained up your bike before heading into the school. You were still sweating and you hoped the redness around your eyes from crying wasn’t so obvious. You headed to where Chloe’s classroom was and saw Miss Jenny sitting outside, on her phone.

“Y/N!” She cheered, seeing you and standing up.

“Hi! Am I in time? I am so sorry I’m late, I got held up at home and lost complete track of time and it’s been super busy and I feel bad because it's your birthday and you’re meant to be celebrating!”

“Y/n,” Jennifer laughed, putting her hand on your shoulder. You blushed as electricity went through your body but then her eyes travelled down your arm, landing on the bright red hand mark which was bruising to the shape of your dad’s fingers. You froze, as did she. You’d forgotten to cover it up before leaving the house.

“This way,” she said after a few more seconds and entered her classroom. You gulped, trying not to cry. “Where’s Chloe now?”

“At my friend's house,” you told her honestly.

“Safe?” How did she know?”

“Safe.” You muttered.

“Sit down love,” she whispered and held out a chair, an adult-sized one.

“Jen-”

“Don’t argue with me. Sit down,” she said, turning to a first aid kit.

“I’m fine!” you argued, yet sat down anyway.

“I should have picked up on the signs earlier,” Jennifer muttered under her breath.

“What do you mean? There’s nothing even happening,” you mumbled. You got so defensive about your home life.

“Don’t lie to me, y/n,” she said, turning back around with some stuff for you. Stuff you didn’t need as you weren’t bleeding - at least you didn’t think so.

“I’m not lying… I just-” she sat beside you and her knee touched yours. You watched as her face distorted from one of worry to conern as she gently grabbed your arm, beginning to assess your injuries.

“Chloe mentioned it once,” she whispered.

“She did?”

“She said your dads at home so you’re staying with a friend. You do everything to keep her away from it.”

“I don’t want her to be hurt,” you sighed, letting your eyes study her face. She truly was beautiful.

“Has he?”

“Once.” You grimaced as she moved her hand from your arm to your rib.

“Let me see,” she sighed, making eye contact with you. You shook your head, you didn’t want to show her what was hidden. “y/n, let me help you.”

“I d- I don’t need help,” you told her.

“Just this once,” she said softly and ran her fingers down your cheek, wiping away a tear you didn’t even realise had fallen.

“Just this once?”

“Yes,” she replied. You nodded gently and lifted up your shirt. You could tell she tried not to react to the state of your ribs and stomach.

“Don't tell me what you’re thinking because I already know and it’s not going to happen,” I said.

“Okay,” she said simply.

Half an hour later, she seemed to be content with the damage control she’d given you.

“Can we talk about Chloe now?” you chuckled. Silence had been floating between you for the last half hour and you both seemed to have forgotten about why you were here in the first place.

“She’s a brilliant, smart little lady, blah blah blah,” Jennifer giggled and moved closer to you. You giggled and watched her smile as her face moved closer to yours.

“You know,” she whispered. “She must get it all from her brilliant big sister.” you blushed under her intense gaze.

“She must, I am pretty awesome,” you giggled in reply. Before you could even comprehend it, her soft lips were on yours. You gasped at first, leaning away but then when you realised you were kissing the most beautiful woman in the world, you relaxed into her hold. Her hands floated around your back, bringing you closer to her and yours wrapped around her neck.

When she broke away, you left your eyes closed for a few more seconds, lingering in the love that just exploded across your entire body.

“I’ve wanted to do that every single time I see you,” Jennifer laughed and you blushed madly.

“Me too,” you replied sheepishly.

“Where are you staying tonight?” She asked softly, wrapping her fingers in yours.

“There is this hostel on the corner Chloe likes,” you whispered, feeling all embarrassed.

“Come home with me. We’ll get Chloe and I can set you both up in the spare room. Tomorrow we can work out a proper action plan, hm?”

You paused, was she serious? “Jennifer I don’t want to -”

“You’re not overstepping. You’re not being a nuisance. Y/N I was hurt by my family too and I never had a little sister to protect. I can only imagine what you go through all the time. Let me help you, help you both - please?” She pleaded and you sighed. You only nodded and let her get into action.

Twenty minutes later you were pulling up to Freddy’s house and Chloe was waiting for you at the door.

“y/n!” She cheered, running down the grass with no shoes on. You cringed and quickly grabbed her.

“You okay bestie?” Freddy asked softly, walking up to you. You nodded and smiled.

“Will be,” you confirmed. She nodded and kissed yoru head.

“She’s been good as gold, just waiting for you to get here, to be honest,” she peered around you then, smiling at the car waiting for you.

“Who’s your hot ride?” she smirked and Chloe leaned around too.

“Miss Jenny!” she shrieked, dropping out of her sister's arms and rubbing up to the car.

“Miss Jenny?” Freddy smirked, raising her eyebrows.

“It’s her teacher. I went to parents' evening and she noticed things were up so she’s helping us out for a few days,” you explained, trying to hide your blush.

“Alright well get home safe. I love you,” Freddy whispered as she pulled you into a hug.

Chloe fell asleep easily in Miss Jenny’s huge spare bed! Surrounded by pillows and plumped sheets and the comforting smell of fabric conditioner. The bed drowned her and it was too cute to see. However, you couldn’t sleep at all.

“Can’t sleep either?” Jennifer asked, heading into her kitchen. You shook your head and then felt her wrap her arms around you.

“It’s going to be okay,” she whispered, resting her chin on your shoulder. “I know it's hard to believe but you have me now, okay?” you nodded and leaned into her touch. It had all happened so fast, so suddenly yet you couldn’t be happier. You’d never felt safer in someone's embrace.

“Thank you,” you replied. She planted a soft kiss on your temple and you sighed.

“Let's go to bed,” she said gently, grabbing your hand.

Things began to work out after that. There was something so magical about JJ, about the way she made you laugh and smile. About the way after a year of being together, she still gave you butterflies and made you feel like the safest person in the world. She helped you file for the adoption of Chloe and Chloe couldn’t be happier having Miss Jenny as her sister. Although even after living together for so long, she still slipped up and called her Miss Jenny at home. You’d graduated art school, being successful after you could get to school on time and do full days without having to worry about Chloe. You loved Jen, it was so so obvious and you knew that that parent's evening was going to be the most important one of your life. It opened huge new doors for you and you couldn’t be happier waking up with her blonde hair on your chest and Chloe’s head curled by your ankles. It all seemed so easy, so flawless and you geninely couldn’t be more grateful for such a loving, beautiful, happy family.

It's relatively warm when Choe takes Clara out of her TARDIS by hand. There's a gentle breeze that rustles the leaves of nearby trees, dusk setting in. There's a couple of lanterns up in the sky - the start of a nearby festival. She leads her to a picnic blanket, already carefully set up with candles, food, cushions to sit on, and a neatly wrapped box. Inside the box is a pendant of a brass autumnal leaf pocked with gems in the shape of stars. "The lantern show will properly begin soon," Chloe tells her as she guides Clara to her seat, gentle kiss given before she too sits down. "Happy birthday, Clara."

i was going to make a cute gif of clara to add to the reply, but like, nothing speaks to me as clearly as this gif. cause this is me reading this adorable piece of fluff: a bundle of emotions, crying.

[talesofcrypt]

Jake wasn't one to get cold feet, but the idea of holding Chloe's hand was enough for him to fake it. "Well, I happen have cold feet now." He teased before offering her his hand. The beach was chilly now and the sun had finally set. It's been hours since they left campus. Jake was surprised by how much time flew by. If it weren't for the dark sky and nightly breeze, he would assume they've only been gone for an hour or two.

"I have a few southside inspired fits too. I usually buy my pot off my friend Stu, but when he's too busy moping around and being all secretive, I drive out and pick up from some southsider named Volchok. I noticed he has a snake tattoo which could mean he's a part of one of the gangs over there. Which is why I got my hands on a piece. Took it from my dad's safe. Ever shoot a gun before?" Jake expected she has. What was the point in having a father in law enforcement if he wasn't going to teach her how to pump a bitch full of led.

Once the picnic was cleared up and the fire was put out, Jake led Chloe back to his truck and offered her a hand in getting back into her seat. All their flirtations and innuendos left the space between them with so much sexual tension. He could barely focus on the road while thinking about Chloe modelling her clothes. "Have you ever snooped through your dad's stuff before? Let me guess, all his passwords are your birthday?"

"Don't worry, I'll hold your hand if you get cold feet." She teased. Chloe didn't peg Jake for the kind of guy who scared easily, if anything he seemed to be just as intrigued by challenging situations as she was. Chloe was no stranger to the southside as most would be surprised to know. Thanks to Damien and a few of his friends, she found herself taking a few trips over there every now and then. His friends didn't warm to her right away due to her exterior but once they were able to see how clever and street smart she was they began to grow more intrigued by her. "I do have a few in my closet. You can help me pick one out if you want." Chloe still being Chloe did get excited whenever scheming involved outfit changes. Dress up was one of her favorite games as a kid and it still was as an adult. She just made more fashionable choices now.

Chloe laughed. "Oh I know you are. And you definitely will be when you see me with my leather jacket on. Or with it off." Hearing him mention her dad's office brought her back down to earth. "Oh, right." There was a little shake of her head as the clouds in her mind began to clear. She hummed before pulling out her phone and checking the time. "Yeah, he should be out by now." She mumbled chewing on her bottom lip. "Okay, if we do this then we gotta do this fast." Chloe stood up and dusted some of the sand off of her leg. She looked down at Jake and gave him a look. "We'll see. Be a good boy and maybe you'll get one." Chloe replied suggestively arching her left brow.

Journal

Today is 23 Apr ‘23 - Sunday. The past week has been good. I closed 2 endowment/retirement plans and a term plan (rayson & chloe). Today was a bit of a boring day though. but one good thing was that i worked out. was feeling a little unwell since coming back from JB celebrating mama’s birthday. lost the momentum of working out for a bit. but am gonna make it work again. It’ll be about 3 more months till we leave EG, and its back to teck whye for me.  gotta start revamping the place and building my home gym then.  Am telling myself to travel more from 2023 onwards. After moving back, i’ll start adventuring once more. doing what I love.  I hope this coming week will be good too. Hope to do some wholesome stuff like maybe going to the park or beach with Nette & her doggo/s. Maybe have a picnic.  Hope to also have another closing this coming week. Looking forward to my management passive flow. Met Faye this week, maybe will chat with her more to get her to consider the idea of joining me & my team.  Till then, tata

Adrien never puts any effort into his relationships with people. He's always handed things or having people do things for him. You have no idea how much I want the others to realize this and rethink their friendships with Adrien, but I know it's never gonna happen.

you said it, bestie. like, all relationships are a two-way street but Adrien's written in such a way that like, people adore him for doing fuck-all. like.

in Origins Nino becomes Adrien's bff because...............they sit next to each other.

Chloe chases after Adrien because he's rich and a model. neither of which are like. even within Adrien's control.

Marinette is obsessed with Adrien because he gave her a speech and an umbrella like, one time.

Kagami???? WHY does Kagami like Adrien? he is like wet bread. no backbone, no true drive or passion. because they're fencing partners??? that alone is not a solid basis for friendship, nevermind dating.

the rest of the class? they like Adrien because....he's Adrien.

like i'll give Gabriel and Emeilie a pass for their weird infatuation because that's kinda what parents are meant to be like (kinda). they're meant to love their kid no matter what (again Gabriel, kinda).

but friends? like Adrien's just floating through life all la-di-dah until he needs to cry about something and everyone rushes to comfort him because....The Script Said So. come on. what a weak-ass friend Adrien is.

when did Adrien ever plan Nino's birthday? or help with a party or a picnic? hell, he straight up ditched his friends in Glaciator because Maribug didn't want to go on a date. what kind of weak-sauce, limp-spined, lily-livered chump friend is that?

anyway Adrien ought to be a better friend or everyone else ought to move on to better pastures. but that will never happen because aDrIKinS iS PeRfECt

[scripted-downfall]

An Interpretation of Confidentiality

I’ve been doing a rewatch of Lucifer, and I forgot how much I hated the season 6 episode “Save the Devil, Save the World.”  There are so many things that piss me the hell off about this episode, and I find myself disliking most of the people in it for various reasons.

I mean, first there’s Linda, and I cannot express enough how much I dislike her in this episode.  For all she spoke about Doctor-Devil confidentiality across the seasons, she started a very, very long book based on what should have been confidential therapy — and not just therapy with Lucifer, either, since it featured components of everyone’s conversations with her — and intended it to be mass-published eventually.  When Lucifer found out, he had every right to be pissed (and, frankly, I was hoping he would be)... and yet he sees the best in the gesture and is legitimately enthusiastic about it… and then, later, she turns the entire situation into being about herself.  It’s selfish and unethical.

Then, there’s the collective response to reading the book.  Everyone jumps on Lucifer for how he portrayed them in the story, but the fact is that it’s not just his account that’s been put into the book??  It’s really unfair for him to get all the blame when the fact is that Linda knew everybody involved, that she’d had counselling sessions with all of them, and that the book contained things that Lucifer literally couldn’t have told her.  I mean, the snippet about Maze and Dan feeding Chloe’s father’s killer to the Russians wasn’t something Lucifer knew about, or, at least, certainly not in as much detail as was contained in the narrative: not the exact wording, for example, of what they’d said.  Linda quite clearly took information from everybody in the celestial inner circle — quite possibly including Ella — for her book, so blaming Lucifer for how everyone is represented is idiotic at best and purposefully unfair at worst.

And then there’s Chloe and her damn, “What if you think I’m smart and… and beautiful and ‘perfect’ because you’ve never stuck around long enough to see me at my worst?”  I mean, on the one hand, I guess that I kinda get where she’s coming from, but also…  She broke into his penthouse, trashed the place, stole his stuff, and tried breaking into his safe in a fit of pique because he and Ella had to go deal with a case on her birthday.  She tried to poison him and send him back to Hell.  She got addicted to super strength from Amenadiel’s necklace and tried to kill him permanently with Azrael’s blade to keep it.  He’s very clearly seen her at her worst and consistently stuck around anyway, so acting as though she’s been a picnic the entire time is ridiculously naive and kinda insulting to him.

All of this is made so much worse by the fact that Lucifer legitimately doesn’t seem to recognize there being a problem.  He takes the book-writing as a good gesture and makes the best of it; he does the same with Chloe’s decision to renege on their plan to go with him to Heaven without any notice.  I’ve talked about the way he seems to view his own rights as not especially important in the post Needing the Eggs, but this entire episode showcases it.  I really wish that someone alive had pointed out to Ella that three other humans had found out about Lucifer’s devil nature, and that it had prompted one of them to have a slight breakdown and two of them to try to kill him; Lucifer certainly wasn’t going to point that out and, while Dan kinda tried to do so, he had to do it through Linda’s book, which meant that it was contained in a single line that Ella didn’t even seem to register.

Honestly, the only two characters in the episode for whom I truly, completely felt bad were Ella and Lucifer.

I feel for Ella, I really do… I fully understand why she feels hurt.  (I would say that I’m not sure that Lucifer actually knew that she lost her faith in the aftermath of Charlotte Richards; I don’t remember precisely what was going on, but I recall him being absent/extremely preoccupied at the time.  I think that it might have been when he was worried about salvaging his relationship with Chloe post Devil-face-reveal/when she was trying to kill him, but I very well could be wrong.  Either way, I’m not sure he was that aware that she lost her faith such that it’s fair to say that he just stood by watching without helping.)

And then Lucifer… I mean, Rory’s appearance was already a pretty vicious cut to any progress he’d made towards not hating himself (telling him that he’s no better than the father he hated, saying she hated him, trying to kill him, etc), but this episode… Slowly but surely, the entire cast of characters — including Ella, if I’m being honest, though, again, she’s the only one at all justified in it — spend their time jumping on Lucifer, slowly but surely eating away at that same progress.  By the time the episode ends, he’s internalized everything into “You think I’ll fail, don’t you?  My own therapist doesn’t actually believe that I’ll become God.” and “I’m not capable of real change.”  (Oh, and then Chloe acts all surprised by that statement, trying to excuse her earlier accusations with “What I said back there… I was scared” as though that fixes anything, but not intending to hurt someone does not erase the hurt, especially since she’s supposed to be the one person who supports him, who has faith in him, etc.)  All in all, this episode was the very last thing he needed.

I’m not sure that’s everything I dislike about the episode — it’s probably not — but I felt the need to express at least some of how I felt… Honestly, it might be one of my least favorite episodes of that season.

Yeah, because I've experienced this myself where everyone around me expects me to be this loving, selfless, and caring person towards everyone, but when I show my dislike towards someone or make a small comment about them, they then see me as thinking badly of me as it's the norm for me to always be loving, selfless, and caring even to the people who wanted to make my life hell. But just like Marinette, I am entitled to not always be loving, selfless, and caring and show my anger and hatred as it is unhealthy of me to keep them bottled up and pretend to be happy all the time.

Again, I'd blame Ms. Bustier for this because she has created this toxic positivity in her class that has caused her students to have this mindset in the first place. We see how everyone in the class still believed that Chloe could turn into a good person despite Chloe showing she doesn't want to change and hasn't apologized or made this right to the people she's hurt in the past or actually reflected on her past behavior as all Chloe saw was her going soft. Same with Lila, as the whole school thinks she's fantastic. Alya's comment about Lila breaking free from the Mega-Kuma is enough evidence to prove to Marinette Lila is a good person without actually listening to Marinette's concerns and brushing them off as one good deed or act of "goodness" is enough for them to believe they are good people or deserving of a second chance. It's the same if anyone does something terrible/negative; they'll all assume they are a bad person. Marinette and Adrien also had this mindset when she tried to help Chloe become a better person and help stop Lila from lying; it wasn't until partially in season 3 and seasons 4 and 5 that they broke away from this toxic mindset while the rest still had it until maybe after Lila was finally exposed that they had their wake up call, as Ms. Bustier was tying to make Chloe face punishment but by then it's too late as we see with Lila using Chloe as her puppet to get Ms. Bustier fired.

It also puts into perspective how hypocritical the class is because we see Marinette being a loving, selfless, and caring person from the goodness of her heart and helping people all the time, especially her friends. Still, we never see her classmates do the same for her. You could argue about her surprised birthday party, the times the gang helped Marinette with a new plan to get her to confess to Adrien, and them at the end of Hero's Day Part Two with them helping Marinette with the picnic but outside of that we don't see them actually do any of that it's always Marinette helping them not them helping her at times. Even when they do, they don't think about what Marinette likes or feels comfortable with.

About Evil teenagers antagonists in Miraculous

I currently wonder how can some fans still want a redemption for somoene like Chloé who willingly hurt people just because that's was her definition of "fun".

Why not accept Chloé as somoene evil ? Just because she's 14 years old ? Just because Gabriel was worst than her doesn't take away the fact that Chloé is a truly bad person who has the potential to become as evil, if not worse than Gabriel while growing up.

Even in real life, adults are not the only ones who are capable of cruelty and crimes. If only adults were capable of monstrosity, I wouldn't have 14-year-olds killing each other with callache nikoffs in the drug trafficking districts of my city. we wouldn't have young people beating up little ones and pushing others to suicide and absolutely not regretting their actions. And we wouldn't have stories to raise eyebrows about kids capable of committing murder and acts of torture without necessarily having been abused in their lives.

To me, anyone who loves to make others suffer for their own sick pleasure (and their victims are people who objectively don't deserve such cruelty) has serious mental issues and can be a danger to others.

Both Chloé and Lila love to make others people suffer or don't care about hurting innocents, and they certainly don't feel any empathy for anyone, or in Chloé's case, no longer feel any empathy (she may have felt sympathy and empathy for Adrien at some point, like during the episode Felix in season 3, but that's definitly no longer the case as soon as Adrien asked her to stop being a biatch). Maybe Lila may feel a form of attachment toward her mothers, yet that doesn't stop her from manipulating them and fooling them in a way that's pretty cruel if you dig deeper in Lila's scale of truancy and imposterization.

I know that technically when a 14 year old kid behaves like Lila and Chloé we could say to ourselves that it is unfair to give them no chance and to condemn them when they are only 14-15 years old and could change for the better if they could be guided on the right path.

But Miraculouse is a show in which the superheroes with the fate of the world in their hands are 14 year old kids. And as such in this fictitious reality, other 14 year olds are perfectly likely to become real cruel and threatening villains i without any scruples, especialy if they are influenced by the wickedness of an adult supervillain.

And I believe that Gabriel's evilness only made Chloé's and Lila's wickedness worse.

He put those two girls in positions of power where they could hurt others and act according to their darkest and Manichean impulses. And Lila and Chloé would only want more taste of that power to crush others. And you know how power easilly corrupt the most greedy hearts.

On several occasions, Gabriel even approved of Lila and Chloe's horrible plans and actions. He has encouraged Lila on numerous occasions to "get rid of" Marinette, thus giving the impression that he supports Lila's jealousy, and during collusion he will have the nerve to say that Chloé's ideas, which consist literally ruining the academic future of your classmates and putting your pregnant teacher in jail for no good reason are good ideas. Having a rich adult in a position to approve of their actions in this way will only have given Lila and Chloe the feeling that their acts of cruelty and malice are justified, and thus reinforced their evil nature.

On several occasions we have seen Chloe and Lila voluntarily let themselves be akumatized, and worse than that, we have seen them plan to be akumatized (Chloe in Penalteam, and Lila in Revelation) and not for understandable reasons like that of a desperate Jalil brainwashed by lies on social media. Because Lila and Chloe have only ever been motivated by their narcicism, their ego, and their desire to get revenge on people they hate for the most pettiest, vain and selfish reasons possible.

Lila and Chloé may be kids, but they are evil teenagers, because they would gladly become supervillain if that means getting what they want. And what they want is anything but noble. For their selfish goals, Lila and Chloé were willing to endanger the city they live in and all its inhabitants. I don't even know if I can still call Lila and Chloé kids or teenagers, with how far they're willing to go and hurt people for the sake of their ambitions.

Although there's still the possibility that Lila may be an adult with a youngfull appearance or a hormonal abnormality making her look like a teenager when she could be an adult. But that would risk making her a pedophile so I don't think the show will go that far ^^ At most they could give her the same as Théo Barbot

But an antagonist adult would be needed then to balance an antagonist teenager supervillain.

Good thing we still have Tomoe Tsurugi then

It's tragic that Chloé and Lila wickedness and evilness could be due to serious mental issues or Chloé's bad upbringing, and the show may have decided that it's more important to protect others from the harm Chloé and Lila can cause rather than to prioritize "helping" them with their issues. Both Marinette and Adrien proposed another path for Chloé to chose, one that could have helped her heal from the emotional and mental wounds her mother's abandonment and neglect. Chloé instead chose Hawkmoth's/Monarch

Ladybug offered Lila her friendship, and Adrien also offered Lila to be there for her as long as she didn't hurt those he loved. Yet both Lila and Chloe voluntarily chose to continue committing bad deeds and hurting others, regardless of the fact that someone reached out to them and offered them another path to get love, acknowledgement and recognition from people. Adrien and Marinette don't have to sacrifice their mental health for people who wish them harm, so I understand very well that it wasn't and won't be their priority to help Chloé and Lila find potential redemption. And especially when Lila and Chloe seem determined to refuse to change and continue to cling to their wickedness.

It should be the adults responsabilities to deal with Chloé and Lila issues, and unfortunatelly the adults in Miraculous are pretty lousy and incompetents. It's very tragic when we don't know that one kid is a psychopath, and if another has always gotten away with his narcissistic behavior disorder and nothing had ever been done to help them deal with that issue, that only leaves the opportunity for the seed of evil in these kids to germinate and flourish, and then reach the level of nastiness that is more often found in adults.

Where There Is Change

Discovery

@maribat-bdbwm

So I will not be following the prompt days at all. If any fall on the right day it is by chance. All of them will be written but not by the calendar order.

Without further ado.

Next

~~~~~~~~~~

Once upon a time Marinette would have bent over backwards, dropped everything, and would never have questioned her friends. But now she was turning fourteen. She has been fighting Hawkmoth for three years, with no end in sight. Her friends, if she could still call them that, behind Lila's lies and followed her like sheep. You can only push a person so far until they break.

That was what happened to Mari.

She was pushed to do dresses, suits, casual wear, and banners with little to no notice for free, without even a thank you. She was made to plan and make baked goods and food for bake sales and fun raisers for class trips, picnics, and parties that she could not attend. They spoke to her condescendingly as if she was stupid, honeyed words to guilt her to do everything while they did nothing and reaped rewards.

At the end of her 7th year, she put in a signed request (by herself and Mendeleiev) to transfer into Mendeleiev's class. But surprise surprise it was denied. Bustier, her homeroom teacher last year denied her transfer, because she wanted to keep all her students the same.

Fine if this was how she wanted to be, well she had nothing left to give.

You can only give so much before becoming empty when you never receive anything.

The first thing she did was step down from class representative. "Miss Bustier?" she stood up from her seat in the back.

"Yes." said teacher smiled at her.

"I am renouncing my title of class representative, effective immediately." she announced shocking the teacher.

Her ever present smile faltered. "Alright, would the vice representative like to take the position?" She scanned each face, but no one stood up or spoke.

"There has not been a vice since my first month three years ago, Miss." The color drained from the teacher's face.

"Oh well, you will need to continue until we have an election next week." she smiled again.

"No." Her voice turned steely. She picked up three bursting folders and dropped them on the desk. "The white folder is student medical records, allergies, cumulative extracurriculars and birthdays. The orange folder holds field trip and fundraiser applications, guidelines for applications as well as locations each student is banned from listed under the student and the location's reason. The black folder has graded homework, tests, quizzes, papers, and projects you gave me to grade. As well as lesson plans and homework you had me assemble for you."

"But... but..." Miss Bustier stood shocked, gaping between Mari, to the folders, then the rest of the class.

"Like I said effective immediately." Marinette turned and was immediately stopped by a blonde.

"Mari, please reconsider." Adrien plodded blocking her from ascending.

"Pfft. And why should I fucking do that Agreste." she side stepped him and climbed the stairs.

Eyes stared at her, as if it was the first time seeing her. In a way it was, since she had no fucks left to give to those who would step all over her.

The girls wanted dresses. She gave fee rates, appointment times and estimated finishing date. Some took her up on her like Rose, Juleka, and Alix. Kagami and even Chloe started requesting commissions.

The same with banners and suits for the boys.

Sweets from the bakery, they placed their orders and paid like everyone else.

This helped her more than most would think. Her grades and attendance improved because she no longer dropped things at the drop of a hat.

Two weeks prior, Hawkmoth went silent, now almost a year later, Paris went back to normal. But she didn't. She became Paris' Ice Princess. She kept everyone at an arms length, her trust was hard to earn, her words cut like a knife and her eyes bore daggers. Yet as both Marinette and Ladybug she is the definition of calm, collected, and serenity. Something snapped a long time ago and no one knows how or what to fix.

"We are done." Sabine was exasperated again. "We got in contact with your biological father, and he is taking you in."

"Alright." She answered, knowing best to respond than to stay quiet.

Sabine began talking again but she only half listened, it was the same as every other night after all.

---

Bruce was done just done.

Apparently his very own system, which is in theory completely perfect, is anything but, because he just figured out, he has a daughter. An adoption agency apparently had him listed as the father of a child roughly 16 years ago, that he had completely no idea of. The mother apparently wanted to keep it secret and gave up the child not even listing herself which was odd. So, the adoption agency never made that information public. However, now he’s being called by said adoption agency and the parents of the girl who is apparently his daughter.

He thought Damian was the only one apparently not.

He is currently sitting in front of the Bat-Computer nursing one hell of an incoming headache, praying that none of his boys come down and see this.

He has a daughter that is older than Damian and knowing his son he will throw a fit over this. That his claim is the only blood child is literally going down the drain.

On top of that Bruce knows almost nothing about his daughter. Sure, he looked up her and her parents other than a few contests and school there was nothing on her. No social media, it was as if it was erased from the system. Her contacts seemed almost sparse for a girl her age, that being said he does not have a good reference for that.

The fact that not even his system was able to pick up on her says a lot more than you might think. When her parents came into contact with him, he thought it was a joke, but they held firm and even sent a DNA sample of their own daughter. He almost didn’t even cross test with his own, he was disgusted with how these people treated their child this way.

Yet here he is, he tested it and he was a biological match.

The parents are transferring her custody over to him, but he doesn’t even know this girl.

Life is never dull for the the greatest detective. Even when life seems to pull things out underneath him.

So, let’s just hope he can meet his daughter while ensuring that his sons not find out before he can get a grasp on the situation.

He continued to rub at his temples and the bridge of his nose trying to lessen the pain of this migraine which was sure enough going to set in. The only reason he’s getting gray hairs is because of his children.

Now to find out what the next one is like.

Harry potter dating Sirius's daughter hcs??? 😆😆😆😄😄

god yes

no because your dad would be so happy??

“MY CHILD IS DATING MY BEST FRIEND’S CHILD OH MY GOD”

at first you tried keeping it quiet

because you weren’t sure how your dad would react, tbh

you were worried he wouldn’t want it, that it would be too weird to see his kid dating someone they were in diapers with

but

sirius finds out everything

you and harry are sitting on the couch in the common room, pretty late one night

and because there’s no one else there you’re able to get pretty close and not worry about making anyone uncomfortable

you’re actually sitting on his lap, facing him while your head rests on his shoulder

honestly you’re just sitting together, not talking, not studying, not listening to music, just drinking each other in

and remus, who did NOT tell you that he would be visiting staff/specific students for the day, walks in to see the two of you together

listen remus doesn’t panic okay

he’s so smooth about it

he just kinda smiles and is like ah i really do owe minerva 5 galleons

remus definitely spills the news to sirius

like i said before, sirius is ecstatic

he’s so glad that mini-sirius likes mini-james even more than he liked james 

he honestly feels like the two of you are carrying on the legacy of their friendship, even if it goes beyond friendship

harry might even start to live at grimmauld place (ignoring the protection thing from the books bc i think it’s dumb <3)

but sirius is a little wary of the two of you getting too close

probably lets you sleep in the same room, but puts your room close to his so that he can hear if anything intense happens

when you get older, it’s not so bad, but when you’re still underage he is not looking for any of that kind of thing to happen

probably crashes your dates because it’s just so fun

you’re going for a picnic? bring your giant black dog along, it’ll be fun!

probably helps the both of you with anniversary/birthday gifts

probably buys the two of you anniversary/birthday gifts lmao

couldn’t be more thankful that you two found happiness with each other, because again, it makes him feel like him and james are still friends and that their relationship is still thriving

it’s just such a familiar atmosphere for him being around someone so much like james and he couldn’t be happier that it’s you he found

:’)

[miutonium]

I lived in the city and I always wanted to go stargazing but the least light polluted area is the hill side and its like 4 hours drive away from my state zzzzz

Im just fantasizing and projecting at this point lol but shh im thinking (and of course its College AU) Utonium wanting to surprise Chloe with a spontaneous road trip at night away from Townsville to go stargazing because she mentioned one time she thinks constellation is fake because she sees no shape of stars in the sky. Utonium laughed and tell her it's totally real, just the light pollution in the city makes it hard to see any stars in the sky. Chloe admits she never went stargazing before and asked if Utonium ever had it. He says he does a bunch of time throughout his childhood and brought along his telescope his dad gave to him on his 10th birthday to those trip. He said it was really fun especially when he tries to look for constellation and connect the stars to form the constellation he sees in his textbook. Chloe expressed her jealousy because she likes road trip but also she never really had those chances with her family let alone her dad. Utonium smiled and promised they will need to go to those trip someday.

Anyway, Utonium borrowed a mini van from his brother (more like renting it for a day after he begged him to let it used it for a day hhh) and stuffed them up with his childhood telescope, blankets, snacks, drinks, a few pillows, a picnic mat and a portable radio so they could maybe lay down and chill while staring at the sky through the sun roof. He knocked on her door and when she opens the door, he tells her they're going on an impromptu road trip and Chloe just jumped to him excitedly because she always wished for it and asked him to give her 5 minutes to pack.

In the van, they chatted a lot from their personal life to their favourite songs. Chloe wasn't aware that he has a brother and always thought he's a single child and he corrected that he's his older brother and they didn't get along that well when they were younger since they have a huge age gap ( I hc'd that they have a 10+year age gap) but they're on a good terms now since he's in his 20s. Utonium always have a feeling that she probably came from a big family since he always feel like she has a nurturing personality and she confirmed that she has 6 siblings growing up and her mom used to babysat the kids in her neighborhood so she takes care of them and help around the house a lot just to lessen the burden. She loves the kids but she loves messing with them more and make them cry because she took their noses hhhh. Utonium doesn't like the Beatles and thought they're overrated and Chloe spends 10 mins on convincing him that they're good and whips out their casettes from the casette pouch she brought along for the trip. The trip lasted almost 3 hours before they reached the nice spot away from the city or any light pollution.

When he pulled up in a grassy field, Chloe is already excited to see the sky since she already saw sprinkles of stars decorating the sky on the road and she can't wait to see it more and up close when they arrived. She is surprised that Utonium actually already laid out a spot for them to lay down at the backseat since she was too excited and distracted to even check the backseat and just as she was about to squeal and cry because of how sweet he is, he went out and laid down a mat outside and set up his telescope so they could see planets and stars and maybe chill outside for a while.

They spend 10 mins outside checking out planets and moon in awe, hearing Utonium gushes about the planets and solar system while Chloe looked at the moon trying to look for the US flag planted there. They ended up crawling back in the van because it's getting colder outside and wrapped themselves in blankies while drinking some tea from the thermo and munching on some already cold gyros.

While laying down, they looked at the sky mentally drawing lines to connect the stars. Chloe still couldn't see any shapes of the constellation even though Utonium insisted that the big dipper is literally in front of them. Even so, Chloe still thinks the night sky is gorgeous and almost unreal for her to witness. She thanked Utonium for driving her so far just to see the stars and confesses that nobody really put this much effort for her and embarassed that she trouble himself just so she could stargaze at an empty field. Utonium assured her it's not a big deal and he wants to spend more time with her alone and away from school and even with all the shiny stars decorating the sky and gracing their eyes, he still thinks Chloe is the brightest star to him and each time he sees her even on his gloomiest day, she brightens up his day and truly believes she's the light of his life.

He always a bit afraid of saying the 3 words lovers always says, he feels like it's sacred to him and he wanted to reserve it for the special moments. He also were afraid of saying those so loosely and casually to the point it means nothing or it sounded overbearing and chases Chloe away. But now, being alone and so close together under the beautiful night sky with sweet love song playing lightly in the background, he knows it's the perfect time to say those words;

"I love you, Chloe."

[unmaskedagain]

Oh Lady Luck (How I miss you so!)

Okay; first off. I hated this. I had a massive case of writer’s block while doing it and lost inspiration near the end.

Oh Lady Luck (How I miss you so!)

           Bustier’s class was the luckiest in school, everyone knew it. They got to go on the most amazing trips, win contest after contest, competition after competition, met all sorts of celebrities, frequently got to meet Ladybug, through the best dances and school plays, and always seemed to have a pep in their step. Anything any of the students went after they always managed to get. Everyone knew Bustier’s class was the luckiest in school. Then one day that changed dramatically.

“You’ve changed,” Alya accused Marinette after the class voted her out as Class president. “You become a bully.”

           Alix snorted, “More like a jealous bitch.”

           There were nods from the other students in class. Lila smiled at Marinette; happy that her promise to ruin the girl was coming true.

“You’re always so mean to Lila,” Rose added. “It’s not nice.”

“You’re worse than Chloe now,” Kim glared.

           Juleka frowned, “We miss the old Marinette.”

“You should’ve chilled out like I told you to, dudette,” Nino said with a shake of his head, clearly disappointed.

“We can’t be your friends anymore,” Alya crossed her arms.

           Marinette had listen to them quietly as they relayed reason after reason why they were ending their friendships with her; all to do with Lila. She didn’t bother to look at Adrien. He had warned her what was going to happen; Nino had told him. There had also been a group text apparently. Adrien made it clear he stood with Marinette. Even more so, when he chose to sit with her in the back of the class, a fierce glare on his face at the other students.

The bluenette placed down her pencil, closed her sketchbook and said, “Fine. Then we’re not friends anymore.”

“That’s counts double for me,” Adrien hissed. “Lose my number. In fact, don’t bother; I’ll just change it. That goes for every last one of you. I’ll be informing my Father and Nathalie that only Chloe and Marinette are on my visitors list.”

           The class blinked in shock. Not expecting that reaction from the blond boy who was usually so amicable and nice.

           Chloe watched with amused eyes. She had been sentenced to the back of the room not long after Marinette. “We’ve never been friends but consider all extra little perks you’ve gotten used to: dead and over with.”

           That was it. None of the other students knew what to say or do. They hadn’t gotten the reaction they expected. Marinette didn’t seem to care. Adrien seemed ready to set them on fire. Chloe looked rather pleased at the idea of seeing them burn. Most shrugged it off; figuring at least two of the three (Marinette and Adrien) would come crawling back in no time.

           They didn’t.

           Things started to change for the students in Bustier’s class the next day.

           Lila woke up in the morning to an email confirming that she would no longer being a model or any type of employee for the Gabriel Agreste brand. Or as Nathalie put it when the sausage hair girl called her, “We will no longer be needing your services, Miss Rossi. Do not contact us again.” Click.

           That was when Lila realized her plan of using Gabriel to get Adrien under her thumb had went up in flames. She hoped that Adrien wasn’t informed so that maybe she could still use his father as a threat against the boy.

           When she go to class, the blond model sent her a vicious smirk. Lila paled. She knew without a doubt that Adrien didn’t just know Lila was fired, he was the one got her fired.

           Nino woke up to the news that the gig he was due to play, his big break, had replaced him. It would’ve been huge for his career.

Oh well, he thought, back to DJ-ing for birthday parties.

           Alya accidently dropped her phone in the toilet; ruining hundreds of videos and pictures for the Ladyblog.

           Alix took a dive while skating; broke her ankle and the watch her dad gave her.

           Max broke his glasses.

           Kim got food poisoning.

           Ivan’s dad ran over his drum set while parking in the garage.

           Rose tried to call Prince Ali and found out he changed his number.

           Nathaniel spilled coffee all over his Ladybug comic strips. Marc had been pissed.

           Juleka’s mom accidently put bleach in with a load of her laundry; it ruined everything.

           By the time they had all got to class, all the students were in a terrible mood. However, when Marinette walked in with a box full of delicious smelling breakfast pastries; they perked up. The bluenette always seemed to know when they needed a pick me up. And there was nothing like a treat from the Dupain-Cheng Bakery.

           Marinette didn’t acknowledge any of their presences. She walked straight to the back of the classroom, sat in her seat between Chloe and Adrien. “Morning!” She beamed at her friends. “I brought treats for the three of us.”

“Awesome!” Adrien smiled, quickly opening the box and snagging a chocolate croissant. “Delicous, Thank you” He said. Or least they thought he said that. His mouth was full and it was mostly garbled.

           Chloe rolled her eyes. She grabbed a mixed berries and cream cheese pastry, “Perfect way to start the day. Thank you, Marinette.”

           Marinette took out her favorite: a berry and jasmine scone. Then she promptly through the box away; making clear that she hadn’t brought any for anyone else. “Anything for my friends.”

“We’ll do lunch at Le Grand Paris,” Chloe said. “On me of course. The chef there is to die for.”

           The other students visibly wilted. Alya in particular who loved going to Le Grand Paris as her mother was the head chef.

           It all went downhill from there.

           Over the next week things went from bad to worse for the students.

           Bustier told the class their trip the Presidential office was cancelled due to an unexpected flooding incident. The plan had been for the class to tour the office and have amazing picnic on the beach afterwards

           Lila’s mother, who had been busy nearly 24/7, officially went on vacation, meaning she plenty of time to spend with her daughter. Her daughter was panicked when her mother inquired about visiting her school.

           Alya discovered that the hits to her site had started to declined dramatically. She didn’t have time to worry about that as her internship with a local new studio had been cancelled; something about realizing Alya didn’t have enough experience. So her summer plans were cancelled.

           Nino’s Dj equipment sparked or shorted out or something but nothing would work anymore. He had cancel the rest of his gigs until he could buy new ones.

           Kim lost a swim match against Ondine.

           Markov got a virus and broke down causing Max to break down in tears.

           Nathaniel lost the expensive sketch pencil he won in a contest.

           Alix’s grandmother brought her a new dresses; frilly monstrosities that Alix’s forced her to wear to school for the entire week.

           Rose, Ivan, and Juleka were heartbroken when Luka announced he was going Solo.

           It didn’t help anyone’s mood that every day Marinette, Chloe, and Adrien walked into class with big smiles on their faces and pleasantly discussed their amazing plans.

           On Wednesday, Adrien invited Marinette and Chloe to come with him to meet the Prime Minister.

           Apparently, Adrien’s dad had called in favors so the three would tour Palais Bourbon, where the French Parliament meets.

“He said I could invite all my friends!” Adrien smiled.

           Marinette had been shocked at this. Until Adrien explained that his aunt had threatened to reveal to the world Gabriel Agreste’s neglectful behavior, his tendency break child labor laws, and his need to isolate Adrien. Thanks to his aunt, Adrien had a much free-er schedule and Gabriel had been in therapy for weeks. “I’ll bring food from the bakery. We can have a picnic!”

“Beach day!” Chloe cheered.

           No one else so much as smiled at the news. Even more so when pictures surfaced on Friday of Marinette, Chloe, Adrien, Ondine, Marc, Mireille, and Aurore with various members of Parliament; including the prime minister.

           Thursday, Chloe loudly invited Marinette and Adrien to an event for her mother, “It’s a fashion show! It’s tonight. Adrien can relax behind the scenes, while Mari and me model on the run way. Mama’s lost a few models so I told her I could recommend a few friends.”

“I’m modeling!” Marinette paled so much, her friends were sure she’d pass out.

“I get to do nothing!” Adrien grinned.

           Pictures of Chloe and Marinette modeling exploded across the internet; multiple fashion websites and online magazines deeming the girls’ Style Queen’s secret weapon and modeling next big thing.

           Most of the guys in class shrugged it off. But a few of the girls turned greened with envy; Lila in particular.

           On Friday, Marinette invited Adrien and Chloe to meet her uncle and her cousin, “He’s back in town on Saturday and he wants to meet all my friends.”

           No one else in class paid too much to that. Who cared about Marinette’s uncle? Or her cousin? They were probably just as stuck-up and nasty as she was.

           Then on Saturday, picture of the same group who went to Parliament, plus Luka, with Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale started trending on the internet. Jagged Stone posted a tweet about how awesome his honorary niece was, with a picture of him and Marinette. Clara posted a pic with her favorite little cousin, Marinette.

           Alya couldn’t believe her eyes and immediately started texting Marinette for the deets. She received a text back saying; new number; who dis?

           Nino flat-out called Adrien only hear that the number had been disconnected.

           The rest of the class faced the same issue.

           And then one by one, they each remembered that they weren’t friends with any of the tree Ostracized students anymore.

           Monday, Alya found out that BugOut, a competing Ladybug blog, had been officially endorsed by Ladybug and Chat Noir. Something that hadn’t happened with the Ladyblog.

           Max lost the science fair. For the first time. He had to go see the school guidance counselor.

           Kim got kicked off the team for his poor grade.

           Lila’s finally called the school to schedule an appointment. Lila was Akumatized within the five minutes.

           Alix’s grandma brought her more clothes; some which were tacky sweaters with cats all over them

           Nathaniel misplaced his new sketch book, with his redone Ladybug comic strips. He never found it. Marc wasn’t happy.

           Nino got a call to dj a huge event only to have to decline as he hadn’t bought new equipment yet.

           It was Adrien that brought in breakfast for the other two; Mcdonalds. Much to the Chloe and Marinette’s dismay, but they didn’t say anything as the boy was clearly happy about being allowed to eat it for the first time.

           Marinette unwrapped her sausage Mcgriddle, wondering who she hurt in a past life, “Jagged is doing a private concert. You two want to come?”

           Adrien nodded, his mouth full of fried hash brown and bacon. “Count me in,” They think he said.

           Chloe held the egg mcmuffin in her hand like it was physically hurting her to do so, “I’m in,” she said. “And I’m bringing breakfast tomorrow.”

           The class was dismayed at missing at meeting Jagged Stone again.

“Are you going to invite us?” Alya asked with a huff.

           Marinette didn’t even look in her direction, “Sorry Uncle Jagged said I can only invite my friends.”

           Ouch.

           Over the course of the next few months, things continued to fall apart for the class. They tried planning one of their usual amazing dances, only for everything to crash and burn. Then they remembered that Marinette planned everything, and before her, Chloe.

           The class never made enough money fundraising so nearly all planned class trips were canceled.

           They had to deal with seeing pictures of Marinette, Adrien, and Chloe and all their friends meeting all sorts of celebrities.

           Ladybug disowned the Ladyblog; causing Alya to burst into tears.

           No matter what any of the students tried, did, competed in, they never won. They practically failed at everything.

           Rose tried to bake cookies for the class; her kitchen caught on fire.

           Max applied for science camp; all spots were full.

           Nathaniel who had lost his comic drawing for the twelfth time in a row was finally told by Marc to take a hike.

           Nino lost his hat, broke his glasses, a dog at his homework, and he tripped landed face down in the mud; all on the way to school one morning.

           The students were constantly late, frustrated, and always seemed to have something accidently spilled or thrown on their clothes.

           Lila’s  mother, who finally decided to just randomly drop by the school after being told repeatedly by her daughter that it was closed so she couldn’t do the appointment for months, was shocked to say the least when it was clearly opened and active. She had a long talk with the Principle and all of Lila’s lies were revealed to class.

           Class was very apologetic to the three ostracized students after that but it didn’t matter. The three made it clear they weren’t interested in renewing their friendships.

           By the end of the year Bustier’s class went from the luckiest in school to the unluckiest kids on the planet.

           The students of Bustier’s class couldn’t help but wonder aloud why they lucked changed do much.

           Tikki, Plagg, and Pollen, hidden away in their chosens’ school bags just smirked.

here's a list of chat noir/adrien agreste doing anything and everything in his hand to keep ladybug/marinette safe, satisfied and happy:

-fight for her until he couldn't stand properly anymore due to exhaustion

-look for constipation pills for an entire weekend with no further context given to him rather than a note

-spend literal months trying to save her (25,913 times, if i'm not mistaken)

-go through the effort to make her a lucky charm matching to the one she gave him for her birthday himself, ask his father (one of the greatest fashion designers out there as well as the man with the opinion/approval adrien values the most) for his opinion, and proceed to ramble about her and how amazing she is

-defend her from chloe each and every time he got the chance to do so

-spend what i suppose must be A LOT of time and effort to plan the perfect picnic date just to impress her

-sacrifice himself for her bc he refused to fight her, blindly trusting that she will bring him back (multiple times, too many to count)

-another bunch of effort and time to write the cutest poem in valentine's day

-try SO HARD to make marinette like him when he though she didn't and try his best to make her smile and feel comfortable

k these are all i can get from the top of my head pls feel free to add on and make my already soft for adrienette heart even softer
