I loved the post you did about Alya's parents getting involved in the Lila affair! Could you do something else about it? Whatever is! A continuation, headcanons, a similar story with the parents of another classmate, etc.

Think of it like a toxic friendship. Sure, we’ve seen Chloe and Sabrine with their toxic friendship, but that’s not the only variation out there and others warrant being explored.

Imagine this whole thing with Lila being a hurdle in Alya’s character arc rather than simply a rival in Marinette’s.

Consider if Lila is the sort of person who focuses in more on select individuals rather than big groups, as it means less people who can potentially catch her. After all, you can fool some people all of the time or all people some of the time—she goes for the former. And she picks and chooses her specific targets, which tend to be those who can offer the most use to her.

Adrien? Yeah, he’s on the list. He’s a famous model. He’s pretty. He’s rich. And he’s no doubt got connections. He’s definitely a keeper.

Chloe? She’s the daughter of the mayor who also happens to run the best hotel in Paris. She’s also rich and has connections. Plus, there’s the benefit of her having a massive ego. As long as Lila plays to it, she can be the one using Chloe while letting Chloe think she’s the one in control.

Alya? She runs the Ladyblog and is up front and center in a multitude of akuma fights. She has connections to Ladybug, has a budding career as a journalist, and was notably the closest to discovering Ladybug’s true identity. As someone who rather hates Ladybug, THIS would definitely be something Lila would want to use.

Marinette would be one as well if she wasn’t already on to Lila from the start. A pity, since Marinette is the Class Rep, has connections to Jagged Stone and other celebrities, is noted for her winning a design competition and her hat being worn by Adrien. She has skill and talent—and unfortunately, a good eye for people just as much as her designs. Lila is put out by the loss, but she has others she can use.

Adrien and Chloe are both high profile figures in the public eye who are generally used to people trying to use them. Lila’s attempts with them aren’t quite so easy since they have more knowledge and protection. Alya, however, does not. She’s still rash and prone to jumping to conclusions. She also makes very easy mistakes that could be avoided if she double checked her facts (the “Chloe is Ladybug” claim in particular stands out). Lila could just portray herself as a hero/Ladybug fan to get in with Alya and she would believe Lila is an asset to her cause rather than a traitor riding on her back.

So we have Lila cozying up to Alya and using her in ways that Marinette is going to hate—not simply because Lila is a lying liar who lies, but because she is an active THREAT to people Marinette cares about. This relationship would start to have a negative impact on Alya, her ability to do things, and her relationships with others in turn.

The thing is, it wouldn’t be just Marinette that Lila’s toxicity would affect. Sure, the show did it that way and we as the fans responded similarly, but it would hardly be that neat. A toxic relationship like this thrives on drama and conflict. Has anyone ever seen or heard about the Karpman Drama Triangle? The three sides are Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor. Generally, it’s supposed to be the sides of a conflict, but in this case, Lila plays all three roles in SPADES.

So she regularly instigates conflict and then passes herself off as the “real victim”. It’s something we commonly see in salt pics where she makes some false claim about Marinette bullying her. She plays herself off as helpless and takes the Victim role to make others sympathize with her. But there are the other aspects, where she accuses Marinette of talking badly behind other people’s backs and plotting things, how she tried to “stand up to her” to solidify herself as the “good guy”. And if anyone attempts to mediate or rationalize, she jumps on them and makes accusations to immediately get them on the defensive so they’ll back down to try to console her.

Lila knows how to play this game. She’s done it plenty of times before.

But here’s the scary thing: Marinette wouldn’t be the sole target. She’d just be the FIRST one.

It’s easy to single out Marinette first to everyone. She’s the only one vocal in her disapproval of Lila and her claims. The class would have to be blind not to notice the animosity between them (or rather more blind than they already are to believe Lila’s lies in the first place). So even if they aren’t sure which of the two is the real source of the problem, they know that having Lila and Marinette together is grounds for trouble.

Some of the class would believe Lila. She’s awesome and promises them things. Why would she lie?

Some would believe Marinette. She’s been nothing but kind and helpful to everyone before any of this started. Why the sudden issue only when Lila comes along?

Lila would hone in on her specific targets during this time. She’d want to rope in everyone she can, but she has those key people she focuses on. Adrien, Chloe, and especially Alya. Secondary to Alya, she needs to have Nino on her side as well since he’s her boyfriend and could end up convincing Alya against Lila.

Adrien knows she’s a liar but is at least quiet and open to her manipulations. Chloe doesn’t trust her, but will at least let her be a hanger-on. It’s Alya that Lila is putting the most effort into ensuring at this point, and everyone else is secondary.

Marinette is Alya’s best friend and a major obstacle in this plan. So Lila slowly poisons Alya’s perception of her. Pointing out Marinette’s flaws. How flakey she is. How clumsy she is. How unreliable she’s been. Slowly but surely pointing out more and more negative traits about the girl. Until eventually, Alya is defending her less and agreeing with Lila more. That’s when Lila starts in on the “mean Marinette bullying me” angle. And Alya is at a point where she would believe it.

So their friendship is tarnished. As a result, the relationships between the other girls are more strained as well since some of them would still want to be friends with Marinette. Lila would either try to ensnare them as well or turn those she already has on her side against them. Dissent is not permissible, after all. And Lila either lies more about Marinette or acts wounded and victimized that they’re not supporting her. She attempts to force them to pick a “side”.

The results would vary.

Given her attitude in canon, Mylene would side firmly with Lila. Alix would be more trusting of Marinette and get tired of the antics and drama soon enough. Rose would try to stay friends with everyone while Juleka would stay silent and stick with Rose, which would put both girls in a difficult position as they would be frequent targets of accusations until eventually they have enough as well. 

And as soon as anyone else breaks ranks, Lila turns on them just as easily. Sometimes even if they don’t. They would end up being turned on each other as much as against Marinette or anyone Lila deems an “enemy” at the time to keep herself the center of attention. Sob stories and accusations galore. In that case, some of them would be aware of what she’s doing but too fearful to actually try to leave out of fear of what she may do.

In the meantime, while having the majority of the group backing her, Lila would continue to take advantage of their bleeding hearts and push to have them do as much for her as she can get away with much like she did in Chameleon. Whether having them do menial tasks or acting as “go-fers” for her. Among other things. Like trying to get Nathaniel and Marc to make a comic about her. Free music from Nino. Increased interactions with Adrien. And in particular, free access to the Ladyblog and any inside info from Alya.

In the midst of all this, what Alya thinks is happening is that she’s protecting a new friend from an old one that went bad and giving support to someone who needs it. To an outside observer, Lila is a negative influence who is using Alya for whatever she can get from her and poisoning Alya’s relationships with other people. This wouldn’t just be Marinette, but also her other classmates, her family, and even Ladybug. Because she’s Ladybug’s number 1 fan. She’s devoted so much time to her. Doesn’t she deserve more? Doesn’t Ladybug owe her the truth? It’s that building up of Alya’s ego while at the same time increasing her dependency on Lila.

After a while, she may try to interfere with Alya’s relationship with Nino. What if she was the one nudging them to focus on their dates more than their babysitting responsibilities and other chores in the home? And when their families start to take issue, Lila can play it off two ways—both that the family doesn’t understand and that Alya’s time with Nino is a distraction.

Thus a slow but eventual breakup occurs. Nino is left unaware as to what caused it.

And since Alya has all this free time now, she can spend a bit more time supporting Lila. Taking on more burdens and work to help her. But Alya wouldn’t realize that she’s also taking on more stress as well. Because most people don’t realize that there is a level of constant stress of being around someone like that so much. It’s like boiling lobsters—because the stress and tension is such a slow buildup, most people don’t realize just how much of it there is until it either blows up or they get away from it. And even if they do realize it’s there, that’s not to say they’d know where it came from or why.

With Lila pulling her strings, Alya would attribute it to Marinette. Or to her sisters. Or to Nino. Or to anything and anyone else other than the one person actually responsible.

This would be what her parents are seeing. Stress has a physical affect on a person just as much as it has an emotional one. They’re seeing that Alya is snapping at her sisters, becoming more withdrawn and isolative, and not attending to her chores or homework. But they’re also seeing she’s not getting as much sleep, has no energy, is “never hungry, and can’t seem to focus.

To be fair, the secret identity of Rena Rouge wouldn’t help matters, but with Alya’s issues and worsening temperament, it stands to reason that Ladybug would avoid bringing her out if at all possible, which would just add to Alya’s frustration and stress.

When a manipulator of that level is whispering in your ear, the actions of everyone can look like a betrayal. Either they’re turning their backs on you when they’re trying to stay away from what they’re seeing as a negative relationship, or they’re doubting you when they’re confronting you on how unhealthy the situation has been and telling you that you need help. Anything done out of genuine concern looks warped through that lens.

Fortunately, her parents have enough and draw the line before it gets that far. They never liked Lila. They didn’t like her lies. They didn’t like her false sweetness. And they certainly didn’t like the effect she has having on their daughter.

That’s why they have that sit down talk with Alya and confront her. Because yes, they’re being nosy and interfering with their child’s friendships, but when it’s having a negative impact on their child, of course they have to respond.

And Alya would see it from the perspective of a wronged teenager. The way that Lila has shaped the lens for her to see it through—that everyone is against her. That her parents are trying to control her. That nobody trusts her—not like LILA does.

The fact that Alya doesn’t become an akuma with this mindset is a surprise, even to herself later on. But in an attempt to prove their point, her parents make a deal with her that they will lessen the grounding if she can show them proof—clear undeniable proof of Lila’s claims. They fully agree to admit they were wrong if she can, with the bargain being that she will not have any contact with Lila whatsoever if she can’t—which to be fair, she probably wouldn’t want to anyway. She agrees. So they let her use her computer to attempt to look up any information backing Lila’s stories and give her an hour or two to search.

Alya finds nothing.

It…kind of ends up hitting her pretty hard. She refuses to believe it at first, and attempts to make excuses. But her parents are patient and part of the point of this period of being grounded is to give her the chance to process.

And while she may be grounded, that’s not to say her parents don’t help. They support her. They let her take as long as she needs to accept the realization and come to terms. They give her space to cry and rage once the truth sinks in and she finally understands just how much she was manipulated.

Once the worst of the emotional upheaval is over and Alya refigures her priorities, they let her have use of her phone back to call Marinette and Nino to apologize.

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT

I’m  opening up requests in intervals of 5 at a time. Once I’ve selected my 5, requests will be closed and will not re open until the 5  requests I’ve chosen are written / posted. Bearing that in mind, you might want to refer to (this page) on my blog just so you know what /who I won’t write and why. 

Also, I will not only just write smut, either. If I feel inclined to write a smutty request, I’ll write it that way. If not, sorry. Understand when you make a request from me that I will choose the direction I think things are best suited to go in. If you cannot handle this, then maybe you should consider requesting from another writer on here. Basically, if you know you want the outcome to be smut and you can’t take the risk of getting disappointed by fluff / angst or mildly steamy instead, you’re better off requesting from another writer, I’ll go ahead and tell you this right now.

Fandoms I write for, as of right now.. This could change at any moment,tbh:

american horror story

arrow

criminal minds

csi

csi miami

csi new york

dc / dc universe

flash

general hospital

gotham

harry potter

horror movies

legends of tomorrow

marvel / mcu

punisher

professional wrestling

riverdale

sons of anarchy

supernatural

the originals

the walking dead

twilight

Characters / People I will not write, ever. So do not ask for them:

Professional Wrestling: any wrestler I don’t know well enough to write something for, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, Miz and Daniel Bryan or Rich Swann. There are others I’m probably forgetting but for now, these names will earn you a hard nope because I will not write for them, ever. 

I will not write for an actual IRL person/celebrity/athlete/musician. So do not send me asks requesting Chris Evans or using a wrestlers real name because nope, I’m not gonna do it. I don’t know them IRL, I’m not going to write as if I do.

Underage  IRL people either. Because nope, that’s wrong and that is not something I’m comfortable with. If they’re under 18 IRL, I will not write about them, if I were doing IRL people. But I’m not. So don’t even ask.

Fictional Characters I will not write, ever.. So do not ask for them:

Kilgraves from Jessica Jones.

Ras Al Gul from Arrow / LOT & Gotham.

Thanos

The monster side of Venom

Pennywise

Underage characters unless you want their pairing to be another teenager. I do not do that uncomfortably older guy/girl shit here, no thanks.

Situations/etc I will not write, ever. So don’t ask for these:

Incest

Rape

Uncomfortable age different pairings. You won’t find any 18 & 44 year old pairings here, nooooope. For one thing, they kind of weird me out ( due to a past situation of my own that I’d rather not discuss, spoiler alert, it ended badly for me and was scary as hell) and another, I just.. Can’t. Feels too close to pedo like behavior to me. And I’d really rather not.

Slash of any kind.It’s no offense to any particular sexual preference on my part because I support all of y’all, I just don’t want to get yelled at by some random asshole when I try to write something like that and fuck it up because yannow, I’m straight and have no life experience in that area to draw from.. I know my limits and this is one of them. I can’t write slash to save my life so I’m choosing not to, rather than get trolled/bitched at by some anonymous person who doesn’t like the way me, a straight person, interprets things. I’ll stay in my lane, thanks you much. There are other gifted writers on here who can and do write slash, you can send your requests to them.

Racism

Abuse ( this means where your ‘love interest’ is the abuser. I’m not into that shit. I’m not supporting that shit, either. ) 

A quick recap here: I won’t write slash / constant or only smut, abuse, racism or uncomfortably differently aged couples, incest or anything like that. If I feel uncomfortable with a request, I will turn it down. If this makes you mad, I’m not sorry. I’m the writer, I call the shots.

Now, a few little ideas to help you out when requesting from me:

Do not send me requests in a DM. I will immediately ignore them if they’re sent that way. In fact, if I’m not following you, I think I have my tumblr set so that you cannot message me ( to eliminate those shitty bots / cam sex people who are gross and weird and constantly message advertising sex) so sorry about that, but I only accept requests that come through my ask or submission box. 

Be specific. Tell me the character / scenario or prompt you have in mind. Vague requests will be deleted. If you’re choosing a prompt from a prompt list, if you don’t tell me the number of the prompt - or the prompt itself, and the name of the list it’s on, I will not write your request. If you don’t tell me exactly what character you want the prompt/idea written with, I will not write your request. Addressing this now, so it’s not so confusing.. You may combine your own idea with one of the prompts on one of the prompts lists found on my blog. Just be specific and tell me which list it’s from / which prompt “ “ / idea it is and what number, please and thanks? 

Be polite. If you come into my inbox and you’re rude in any way in your message, If you seem condescending in any way, if you seem like you’re trying to rush me through this or you get angry when I don’t write you smut ( because as discussed before, if I’m not in the mood to write smut, I will not be writing it and I don’t even care how upset that makes anyone.) I will delete your request. If you’re polite, (and this includes giving feedback on the request you sent me also) then we won’t have any problems.

Don’t rush/harass me to write something. I have a life outside of the internet and tumblr and writing. A busy life. Superbusy, actually. I’m not some little machine who can just churn shit out. And if I start to write something of my own free will, I’m gonna want to focus on that too, so there’s that. I make no secrets, I write for my own gratification. I’m choosing to take requests for my own reasons / practice. If I choose to close them and never take another one again, then I have every right. Do not hound me about a request you sent.. Do not send multiples. If I feel rushed/harassed in any way by you, I will not write your request and most likely, if you send more in, I will ignore them. You can check and see if the request you sent arrived in my inbox two times. After two, I’m gonna seriously begin to think you’re hounding me and I’m not going to answer. 

And this is it! This is all! I know, it seems like I’m being awfully bold and demanding and yeah, bitchy af, but this is to cover all my bases now, rather than to have to do so every single time I turn around.I don’t like explaining myself more than one time if necessary.
