Not Your Boyfriend, Baby

Farleigh X Reader, SMUT - tw for cheating, reader both cheats and is cheated on

part two

Being Felix’s girlfriend comes with a set of rules. 

Always stand to his right, so that he can hand you whatever he’s holding without having to think about it. Let him pull you into his lap whenever he wants, even if you’d really rather just sit next to him - always sit next to him. Laugh at the jokes he makes, even if they aren’t funny. Help him with his coursework when he asks, pretend that you need help with things that you know he’s good at so he doesn’t feel stupid. Pretend that he can make you cum. Pretend you don’t know he’s cheating on you.

Being Felix’s girlfriend comes with a set of rules - but the perks are worth it. 

The necklace he got you for your birthday costs more than your first car, and if you ever sell it, will easily cover rent for at least a year. Designer clothes have a habit of appearing in your dorm room unannounced, always in your size - just because Felix likes when you look good next to him. No clubs are too exclusive to get into, there’s always a booth in the back of the pub reserved for you, people bend over backwards just for the chance of being in Felix’s vicinity - so naturally they’ll do anything for you. 

You’re using him as much as he’s using you - it’s mutually beneficial. You get to live within his innermost circle, he gets to have someone to bring home to his parents so they don’t start looking into arranged marriages after graduation. You have no intentions of actually marrying him, god no - you’ve heard him talk about how many kids he wants, there’s no way in hell you’re pushing out six - but you’ll take what you can get. Felix is a comfortable rung on the social ladder you’re trying to climb. 

“Right, love?” 

Felix’s voice drags you out of your thoughts and back into reality - the warm lighting of the pub casts everyone around your table in a warm golden glow. You’re pressed against Felix’s right side - always his right side - his arm perched on the back of the booth around your shoulders, casually possessive. It’s a little funny how possessive he is, considering how often he cheats on you. On his other side, Annabel nurses a pint, her overlined eyes locked on Felix, utterly enraptured. 

Across the table, India looks at him with the same hunger, even though her head rests on Farleigh’s shoulder. Farleigh looks how you feel - utterly bored, his eyes wandering the room as he idly smokes a cigarette. He’s always been prettier than Felix. More interesting too. If you weren’t trying to climb the social ladder high enough to marry rich and not have to work a day in your life, he’d be who you’re pressed against instead of Felix. There’s something about him that’s always given you the sense that he sees right through you, but it’s exciting. You know he knows why you’re here next to Felix, with a diamond he bought you around your neck. But Felix has no idea - he thinks you’re in love with him. 

It’s laughable, how in his own head he is. 

Still, you feed into the delusion, that practiced sugary-sweet smile playing at your lips as you look up at him. “Mhm.” You hum, picking up your pint and sipping at it. 

Felix grins wide, and turns back to Annabel. “See?”

Annabel rolls her eyes, leaning around Felix to pin a look at you. “You weren’t even paying attention.”

The animosity that every other girl within a fifty mile radius directs at you is the one drawback of being Felix’s main piece. Your smile turns a little sharper. “Yeah.” You admit easily, setting your pint back down. “But I know Felix enough to know that he was probably right.”

Across the table, Farleigh snorts. 

Your eyes slide over to him, and he meets your glance. Ever so slightly, he tilts his head, a dry smile playing at his lips - a silent, really?

You tilt your head in the same direction, mocking - yes, really.

Felix turns back to Annabel. “I’m always right, Anna - best get used to it.”

She rolls her eyes again, but this time it’s playful - flirty, even. You can already see how the rest of tonight is going to play out - Felix will make some excuse about drinking too much or not feeling well or whatever else his idiotic brain can come up with, and disappear back to his dorm room to fuck her. Tomorrow, of course, you’ll act like you’re none the wiser. In two weeks time, when the guilt starts to get at him, a new pair of heels or a Dior skirt will find its way into your closet. 

Simply the way of things. 

Pulling away from Felix’s hold, you make to get up. He glances at you, concerned, but you only smile, and kiss him on the cheek so that you can slide out of the booth. “Gotta use the loo.”

You brush your hands down your skirt as you stand up, and start towards the back of the pub, where the bathrooms are, tossing a look over your shoulder back at the table. You catch Farleigh’s eye, and hold it for a moment. His lips curl upward around his cigarette. With Felix likely going home with Annabel, your schedule for the night just opened up…

Maybe tonight’s the night you do something - someone - just for yourself. Set your plans for the future aside for once, and just have fun. After all, you’re confident Felix will be none the wiser - you know exactly what not to do after watching him fumble around with any and every other girl that’s caught his eye. 

You disappear into the bathroom, Farleigh’s gaze still on you. 

The noise from the pub is quieter here, just a dull hum seeping in through the walls. You lock the door behind you, and inspect yourself in the mirror. You smudge the dark eyeshadow around your eyes a little more, and fluff up your hair so that it doesn’t sit so lifelessly against your head. Your sex appeal back in place, you splash some water on your hands and pat them against your skirt before you leave, stepping back out into the pub. 

As expected, Farleigh is waiting for you, leaning against the wall next to the bathroom door, finishing off his cigarette. A quick glance back at the table lets you know that you were right - Annabel and Felix are gone. India’s moved onto Jack now, laughing a little too loud at something he says. 

“Felix said he wasn’t feeling well, all of a sudden.” Farleigh drawls, bringing your attention back to him. “Annabel’s walking him home.” There’s a touch of humor in his voice that you appreciate - he knows just as well as you do what they’re off to do.

“Shame.” You say, not bothering to try and sound actually sad at all. It wouldn’t fool Farleigh anyway. “Got tired of India?” You snatch the last of his cigarette from his fingers, finishing it off in one drag and dropping the butt to the floor, stamping it out with my boot. 

Farleigh watches you, his eyes half-lidded. “Is there such a thing as not being tired of India?”

“She’s not all bad.” You say. 

He tilts his head, that wry smile coming back to his face. “She’s not trying to fuck you.”

You can’t help but grin at that. “Touche.” You wouldn’t know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of India’s flirting - but if Farleigh’s boredom is anything to judge by, she must not be very good at it. 

Silence falls between us, and you let yourself look at him, eyes tracing down the lines of his neck until you reach the hollow at the base, and then back up to his lips.

“So.” Farleigh says. 

You meet his eyes again. “So.”

He grins, foxlike and charming. “You wanna get out of here?”

The walk back to campus is short, but it feels longer with how much you talk about with Farleigh - school and America and family and money and Felix and a million other, less important, things. It’s the most intellectually stimulating conversation you’ve had in a long time, and the most you’ve genuinely laughed in a while too. It’s everything you’ve been missing with Felix - and it makes the war between your want for fortune and fame in the future and your want for genuine connection rage all the more. 

It comes to an end all too quickly for your liking, as you reach the steps to your dorm. 

You slow to a stop, and Farleigh stops as well, looking down at you, hands tucked casually into his pockets. “Does it ever bother you?” He asks.

“What?” You reply. 

“That he cheats on you.” Farleigh clarifies. 

It’s a complicated question to answer, so instead you turn it around on him instead. “Does it ever bother you that he’s fucked India?”

Farleigh rolls his eyes. “That’s-”

“He does it to literally everyone.” You press on. “I stopped caring a while ago.”

Something contemplative washes over his face, and he just looks at you for a moment, eyes searching yours for something. His next question is quieter. “Who would you pick, if you weren’t stuck with him?”

Now it’s your turn to roll your eyes. “I’m not stuck with him.”

Farleigh looks at you, obviously amused. “I can see you trying not to roll your eyes every time he opens his mouth.”

You shrug. “The pros outweigh the cons.”

“So cynical.” He taunts, stepping closer. “You still haven’t answered the question.”

“I think it’s fairly obvious who I would pick if I wasn’t with Felix.” You say, letting him back you up the steps until your back is against the door. You look up at him, and meet his eyes. 

He grins. “Yeah, but I want you to say it.”

“It’s you.” You say, voice barely above a whisper. “Like it would be anyone else-”

He cuts you off by pressing his lips to yours, a moan leaving him as you deepen the kiss without waiting, slipping your tongue into his mouth. He tastes like cigarettes and vodka and it’s made all the more delicious by the little noises that keep working up his throat, elicited when you grab him by the belt and pull him closer so that you’re chest to chest. He groans when you sink your teeth into his bottom lip and pull away, tugging him with you by the mouth. When you release him, he still follows after you anyway, chasing you for more. 

Fingers still dancing on his belt, you smile. “Come up to my dorm with me?”

“Yes, fuck, please.” He already sounds debauched, and it sends a spike of heat straight down to your core. Felix would never deign himself to beg. 

You push open the door to the dorm building, and start up the stairs, Farleigh trailing only a half step behind you. You fumble with your keys once you reach the door to your room, and Farleigh latches onto the back of your neck, trailing kisses across the sensitive skin that send a shiver up your spine.

Once you get the door open, you drag him inside and kick it back shut, locking it behind you. 

Farleigh’s back on you in an instant, mouthing under your jaw. You wind a hand into his curls, pulling his head back from your neck. “Don’t leave any marks or Felix-”

He rolls his eyes, and cuts you off. “Duh.”

Without any more preamble he dives back into your neck, kissing along the length of it until he makes his way back up to your lips. You meet him in a kiss greedily, pushing off the door behind you and walking him back towards your bed. He hits the bedframe and breaks the kiss to sit on the edge. With a grin, you’re climbing into his lap and gently pushing him down until his backs flat against the mattress. 

He’s so pretty like this - curls splayed out across your duvet cover, hands gripping onto your hips like you’ll float away if he lets go. You run a hand under his shirt, rucking it up so that you can see the way his stomach flexes when you touch him. Slowly, you dip your head down to lick a trail up his abdomen, never breaking eye contact. 

He tips his head back with a shaky groan. “Oh, fuck.”

You grin, shifting forward so that you can nose under his jaw, lips ghosting across the shell of his ear. “What about you? Will India get mad if I-”

“Don’t fucking care, I want you to do it anyway.” He says, a little breathless. He’s so responsive - every little groan and whine shoots heat straight to your core. If sex with Felix was like this, maybe you wouldn’t have to pretend to be in love with him. 

You sink your teeth into his neck just below his ear and he keens, his hips knocking up into yours. His fingers dig into your hips, bunching the fabric of your skirt into his fists like he’s holding on for dear life. You take the opportunity to start the slow roll of your hips as you work a chain of hickeys across his neck, scattering them artfully around his collarbone. 

Deft fingers slip under the hem of your shirt, pushing it up your spine until you get the message and pull it off yourself, flinging it somewhere in your room. Farleigh wiggles out of his own shirt underneath you, pushing the offending garment off the edge of the bed. Freed of your shirt, you reach behind you to unclasp your bra as well, tossing it in the same direction. 

Farleigh’s eyes fall to your tits immediately, and you swear you can see his pupils dilate. “I see why Felix keeps you around-”

“Shut the fuck up.” You say with a smile. Even when you have him in your bed, he’s the same old Farleigh. It’s a breath of fresh air after having to pretend you like when Felix calls himself ‘daddy’. 

Your skirt is next, and then the tights you’d had on underneath it as Farleigh works on his trousers, kicking them off the end of the bed. Only your underwear left, you resume grinding against him, watching as his eyes flutter shut for a moment as he uses his grip on your hips to work you over him harder. 

“How do you want me?” You ask, leaning down to press more kisses along the length of his neck. 

You expect him to respond - to tell you to turn over on all fours or ride him reverse cowgirl - but he only sighs in the back of his throat. “Whatever you like, baby.” 

You press your lips to his in another greedy kiss, licking into his mouth and swallowing up the moans that slip past his lips. He’s not making it easy to think about going back to Felix after this. Felix, who calls himself ‘daddy’ and manhandles you around however he likes and hasn’t made you cum a single time. You can feel your wetness starting to seep into the fabric of your underwear from how malleable Farleigh is underneath you - how he looks at you like he’d gladly do anything you ask him to. 

You slip your fingers beneath the waistband of his boxers and shuck them down his legs. Your own underwear are next, and then you’re grinding on him again, spreading your wetness up and down his length. 

Farleigh’s grip tightens, and he tips his head back again. You watch his Adam’s apple bob as he moans. “Mm.” He picks his head back up enough so that he can look at you. “I was going to ask if you wanted me to go down on you but - mm - I don’t think you need it- oh fuck!”

Rising up on your knees, you line him up and slide down him in one drop of your hips, lodging him inside of you. He’s longer than Felix is, but skinnier too so the stretch doesn’t sting as much. God, it’s like he was made for you, with how easily he reaches right where you need him to without even trying. You start to bounce, planting your hands on his chest for leverage and tossing your head back, losing yourself in the feeling. 

Farleigh whines, a high pitched breathy thing that sounds like it’s been forced out of him as you start to move. Gently, you pry his hands away from your hips and pin them down over his head, just because he lets you do it. It’s a rush - that he’ll let you do whatever you want and take it happily - and it goes to your head. He strains against your grip but you don’t let up, working yourself up and down his cock just to watch his eyes roll up into his head. 

“What- ahh, what are you doing?” Farleigh chokes out, straining against your grip again. 

“Whatever I want.” You croon, whispering against his lips. 

He snags you in a kiss, sweeping his tongue into your mouth hungrily as he plants his feet on the mattress, thrusting so that his hips meet yours on every downstroke. A sharp gasp forces its way out of your throat as the coil in your stomach starts to tighten, and you can’t help but smile at him. It’s almost a novelty, the way he works with you instead of against you like Felix often does. 

He grins back up at you, and tilts his chin upward to kiss you again. Breathy, he says, “Felix is an idiot.”

You choke on a moan as a particularly hard thrust jolts through you. “Why’s that?”

“He doesn’t know what he has.” Farleigh says. “I’ve fucked India and - fuck - Annabel and they’ve got nothing on you.”

You laugh and moan at the same time. “You don’t have to - mm - be nice just so I’ll let you cum in me.”

“I can be nice.” He breathes. 

You ghost your lips over his neck. “You’re never nice.”

“I can be nice.” He insists, turning his head so that you can litter kisses along the length of his neck. You trail upwards until you reach the lobe of his ear, biting gently at the skin. “To you.”

“Careful.” You say. “Better stop now or I might think you’re in love with me or something-”

Farleigh tenses up beneath you, as a long groan escapes from his lips as he throws his head back. He thrusts three more times before he stills, slumping back down to the mattress, panting hard. His eyes flutter open, blown wide as he looks up at you. 

You can feel a smirk playing on your lips. “Did you just cum?”

He has the decency to look a little ashamed. “Maybe.”

You laugh, and kiss him. “Well, what are we supposed to do now?”

“I’m good.” He insists, working his wrists free of your hold. “I can still- here, just-”

He pulls you to his chest and rolls on the mattress so that you’re underneath him now, and resumes fucking into you, tucking his head into the crook of your neck. The change in position makes the feeling all the more potent, and a moan slips out from your lips. 

Winding your arms around his shoulders, you rake your nails up his back, and feel him shiver against you. “Farleigh…”

“Don’t fucking do that.” He laughs. “I’ll cum again.”

You toss your head back against the pillow as he speeds up his thrusts, obviously trying to get you to cum before he’s too spent to keep going. You let your eyes flutter shut and enjoy the feeling of him against you, the tickle of his curls against your neck, the breathy moans that slip from his lips into your ear, the feeling of his teeth against your neck as he sucks a hickey into your skin-

“Farleigh-” You start, only to cut yourself off as the coil finally snaps and pleasure shoots through you. “Oh fuck-”

He groans, and shoves his face deeper into your neck as his thrusts slow to a stop. He slumps again, flopping on top of you with a long sigh.

When you come back to your senses, you tug on his hair until he grumbles. “You are such a dick.” You say. “I said no marks.”

“Sorry.” He mumbles into your skin. 

“No you’re fucking not.” You retort. 

He lifts his head out of your neck, that foxlike grin on his face again. “No I’m not.”

“What am I supposed to do now?” You ask. 

He pulls out, and flops back down on the bed next to you, nosing back into the crook of your neck as he slings an arm over your chest. “Makeup. Wear your hair down.” He shrugs. “It’s Felix - he’ll probably think he did it.”

You rest your chin on the top of his head, the aftershocks of pleasure running through you. “‘M never having sex with you again.”

Farleigh snorts. “Yeah, okay.”

You smile into his hair, because he’s right. Of course he’s right. There’s no way in hell this isn’t going to become a regular occurrence.

hi liv! do you know of any draco-centered longish fics??? thanks! i just love him so much

Hi anon, definitely! Here are my favourites:

Heal Thyself by astolat (T, 47k)

"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

A Room Up There (And You In It) by @the-starryknight (T, 59k)

When Preservationist Draco Malfoy was assigned to work on Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, he was excited to delve into the gorgeous Black family antiques. His excitement quickly ended when something in the House decided it did not like his presence one bit.

The Trouble with Wanting by waldorph (E, 60k)

Draco Malfoy is cleared of all charges; this is what happens next.

Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop (E, 70k)

It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always.

Among Ancient Pines by @graymatters (M, 74k)

Every day, Draco Malfoy tries. With every fiber of his being he tries. But he doesn’t much think about what he’s trying for. In his final term of Healer training, Draco is unfortunate enough to find himself on a plane, the only means of traveling to a small, magical town in rural Alaska.

Super Rich Kids by @thusspoketrish (E, 81k)

Draco Malfoy has become disillusioned by the glitz and glamour of the scandalous lives of the Post-Second Wizarding War Pureblood Elite. Enter: one existential crisis, one group of thieving cynical friends, and several terrible, terrible decisions.

A Thousand Beautiful Things by geoviki (M, 104k)

Draco Malfoy struggles with changed fortunes, shifted alliances, an ugly war, and an unusual spell, with the help of a concerned professor, an insightful house-elf, and an unexpected Gryffindor friend.

Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w (E, 110k)

Lonely and frustrated on house arrest, with no prospects for the future, Draco begins brewing Felix Felicis in an attempt to improve his lot. Just in the short term, of course. He isn’t a total idiot.

Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

All Life is Yours to Miss by Saras_Girl (M, 114k)

Professor Malfoy's world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.

What We Pretend We Can't See by gyzym (M, 131k)

Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

Any Instrument by @dictacontrion (E, 131k)

Draco Malfoy wouldn't go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can't control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

There Is Always the Moon by @firethesound (T, 159k)

Draco's life after the war is everything he wanted it to be: it's simple, and quiet, and predictable, and safe. But when a mysterious curse shatters the peace he'd worked so hard to build, there's only one person he can trust to help him. After all, Harry Potter has saved his life before. Now Draco has to believe that Potter will be able to do it one more time.

[ughtyrell]

Anti social Oliver Quick

Oliver is just really not interested in making friends. He is in fact against it but doesn't want to make a big fuss about it so he decides to just seem very boring and plain. Hoping to seem very nerdy and unpopular so people wouldn't even want to approach him.

He has some precautions to ensure this goal. Such as his wardrobe. Perfectly plain yet ugly enough to put people off. His quiet attitude that makes him easy to ignore and careful constructed awkwardness that makes the few who try not want to do so again. His ideal mask that will make people leave him alone.

So why is this rich pretty boy so eager and determined to be his friend?

It starts with Oliver helping Felix with his bike, just something Oliver decided to do on a whim because he was having a particularly nice day and was in a good mood. What was the harm in helping the poor looking sod sitting at the side of the path?

Apparently the harm is he gets a borderline stalker from it. A harmless stalker itself because the other boy acts like a kid who isn't used to not getting what he wants and pouts about it endlessly. But he's starting to feel harassed.

Maybe it actually started when Oliver denied Felix's invitation to sit with him and his friends at the pub. Somewhere Oliver decided to wander to that evening because again, he was having a nice day and thought, why not go enjoy a drink by himself? He doesn't mind going to places in public alone because he enjoys his own selfs company plenty and doesn't feel embarrassed to do so at places where it's socially expected to go with at least one other.

He doesn't expect to see the random boy from earlier, definitely didn't expect to be waved over by said boy. Which he lets happen because Oliver finds it will be easier to do so than rudely ignore them and deal with Felix and/or his group actively disliking him for a slight from the weird loner boy. He can politely listen to what Felix wants for a moment and then leave, disappear from sight and soon out of mind forever.

And that's exactly what he did. Listened to Felix tell the others how he "saved" Felix earlier and awkwardly nod and smiled along. It's was what he did next that baffled Felix. When asked if he was with anyone Oliver told the truth, no he wasn't. When invited to come sit, which was the obvious and expected thing to say yes to, Oliver declined with a simple polite, "ah thanks but no thank you." And then turned around and made it back to the bar to order himself a drink.

It was a complete insult to Felix's pride and ego, it left Felix feeling incredulous and irritated but also...thrilled. He had to investigate more and see what's wrong with this Oliver Quick who could just brush Felix catton off like that. He must be either mental or faking it, which makes Felix either really rather fascinated or want to prove Oliver to be a fake for his own peace of mind.

So Felix begins his attempts to charm Oliver into a friendship. Should be easy because Felix is easy to like and if someone doesn't like Felix then they're either lying or something is wrong with them not him.

Except it isn't easy and nor does Oliver not like Felix. He knows because he asked. He asked after Oliver continued to brush off Felix's attempts to sway Oliver into joining him for a drink, or a conversation or a friendship. Oliver said no, he doesn't not like Felix, he doesn't know Felix enough to not like him.

And when Felix asked then why does he continue to ignore and decline to be Felix's friend. Oliver says the worst thing anyone has ever said to Felix ever.

" I just don't want to Felix."

It's horrible and Felix can tell Oliver is being 100% truthful, not even intending to be hurtful about it but that just makes it worse.

When Felix tells Farleigh about it later, Farleigh laughs so hard at Felix he almost makes himself sick. Next time he sees Oliver he laughs some more and tells Oliver how he's the first person to ever knock Felix down a peg and good job. Oliver just says a curt thanks and leaves because while it's true he doesn't have anything against Felix, he actually is not a fan of Farleigh Start.

(Wouldn't it be funny though, if Oliver warms up to Farleigh first instead of Felix? Farleigh thinks yes and makes sure to rub it in his face whenever he can. He doesn't ever mention how this soothes something deep inside himself to be preferred first over Felix.)

[imthepunchlord]

I genuinely don't get the point of having three 'teenvillain' characters when only one or two could've done the job???

They needed one to put pressure in class as a bully (Chole) and another to be an actual scary threat (Felix). And hey, making Chole a good enough miraculous user even tho her personality is still bad and Felix an okay son/family member and an evil miraculous user creates good contrast.

But then they added Lila who was a threat both inside and outside the class. Okay, maybe a lesson that if a person is bad in one area of life they can be as bad in another. And they had Chloe work with Hawkmoth too. Giving them really similar roles. And yea, Lila is a liar but she's not half as scary and interesting as Felix with his Sentimonster backstory.

Coz Chloe and Felix make sense in a way. Chloe is a spoiled rich kid that wants attention and is using her dad's status to get it. Felix is a traumatized kid that just got out from his abusive fathers control and is having multiple mental breakdowns both hating and trying to 'save' his cousin n himself.

But Lila is.... what? Confounding backstory and plans that only work due to plot armor?

Idk what backstory they gave, it seems to be constantly changing, so I'm just going to headcanon she's an old senti, using her magical existence to lie and cause chaos. It's the best explanation on why people just believe her and why their IQ lowers. She's magic, she can influence people, this is why she seems to have 3 mom's, attends at least two different schools and at least two different social lives and at least two different identies.

She's a magical creation made to be a chaotic, antagonistic liar.

And she has a vendetta against Marinette as Marinette reminds her of the person she was made to antagonize. Maybe the ancient Fox Hero and that's why Lila looks a lot like her, made to ruin her civilian life.

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Hello. I've been binge reading your meta post an I loves all of it. I have one question, though I don't know if you had the same question or not. If you had I'm sorry feel free to ignore this but if you hadn't, this is my question. Many people said Adrien as sentimonster is a good plot and the other said it's also good metaphor for abuse children. But what do you think about the senti plot? Is it necessary? And what do you think the writer is trying to achieve with the plot if Adrien doesn't even allowed to know about what he is?

Thank you! I'm glad that you've been enjoying my rambles! I don't think I've touched on those aspects of the sentiplot, so here goes!

Is it Necessary/What's The Goal?

I don't think that the sentiplot is even remotely necessary. My two cents is that it reads like something that was added relatively last-minute in order to add some cheap drama to draw the plot out because they didn't have enough content to organically fill seven seasons. Part of the reason that I'm comfortable saying that is because we've seen the writers do this type of move many times before. I don't wanna get too into the weeds on this, but a good example is the love triangles with Luka and Kagami.

Luka and Kagami are never treated as real alternate love interests. They're just road blocks on the love square highway that allow for seasons three to end on a cliff hanger. The fact that season four opens on two episodes meant to reassure the audience that Lukanette and Adrigami are doomed to fail is proof of this. No one is actually supposed to ship those ships. There's no Team Luka vs Team Adrien. It's just cheap drama.

The other reason that I feel comfortable calling the sentiplot cheap shoehorned drama is because the sentiplot has no teeth. A big reason why I refused to believe that it was going to be a thing was because it's an extremely serious plot that has no place in a Y-7 show. The wielder of raw destruction can have his free will overwritten at any time! The show has made jewelry theft a common teenage past time! This is bad!

And yet, once it's introduced, it goes nowhere. Gabe gives the most lackluster commands humanly possible and Nathalie undoes every one of them before they have a chance to meaningfully impact the plot. The biggest fallout of the sentiplot was that the Adrienette kiss got delayed a bit. How terrifying.

If the sentiplot had the weight it deserved, then it would have destroyed Adrientte in a big, dramatic fashion. Gabriel would have commanded Adrien to date Kagami and Tomoe would have done the same for Kagami re Adrien. But that's too serious, so we don't even get Gabe telling Adrien to break up with Marinette. He just tells Adrien to not see her and Marinette never has any clue that something went wrong there because Nathalie undoes the command two minutes later.

The Sentiplot's and Emilie

You may have read the previous section and thought, "But wait, doesn't the sentiplot give an explanation for why Emilie used the peacock? Didn't we need that?"

No, we didn't. Felix's little play and Gabe's memory of the night they used the peacock both heavily imply that no one knew that the peacock would kill you. It's why Felix exists! His father did not willingly give his life to have a kid and neither did Emilie. It was an unknown side effect.

Imo, it would have actually been better if Emilie hadn't used the peacock for such obviously selfish reasons. I mean, is anyone really saying, "Oh no, the rich lady used forbidden magic (and possibly killed some people?) to get a designer baby, then faced unexpected consequences! How awful for her! She didn't deserve that!"

Wouldn't it have been a far more interesting and complex story if Emilie used the peacock because she wanted to help someone else? If she was an unambiguously good person who suffered for doing the right thing or even just a morally gray thing? Wouldn't that make Gabriel's quest feel more righteous and less like a temper tantrum by a rich, entitled white guy who used his wealth in a morally dubious manner and paid for it?

The Sentiplot as an Abuse Metephor

I don't think that the writers meant for the sentiplot to be an abuse metaphor. In fact, I sincerely hope they didn't because it's a terrible one! Or, at least, a depressing one.

Abuse - especially childhood abuse - is something that sticks with us. A lot of victims will be forever scared by what they went through. But just because they bare scares doesn't mean that they're trapped by their abuse and can never break free. This is true even if the abuse caused mental health issues like PTSD or CPTSD, conditions that can never be cured because you know what they can be? Controlled and mitigated to the point where the victim is no longer ruled by their condition.

There's also the fact that abuse victims - especially child abuse victims - can and often do reach a point where their abusers no longer have any power over them. I have personally seen a child abuse victim go thought the process of realizing that their parent is just another adult now. All the power that the parent once held is gone. The child doesn't depend on them for food and shelter anymore. If the abuse starts up again, then the child can just get up and walk away.

That's not true for a sentimonster. Sentimonsters don't grow up and get more agency/power. At any point, their abuser can get ahold of their amok and override their free will, taking away the sentimonster's freedom even if the sentimonster is on another continent! There is no means of true escape.

No abuse victim will ever be that powerless. Abuse victims can escape abuse and they do have true free will. Sentimonsters will always be sentimonsters.

Is the Sentiplot Good?

No. It's too serious for a kids show. In fact, now that it's canon, here's my two cents: all of the sentikids are massive liabilities to the team who need to give up their miraculouses immediately because they can never be truly trusted. Felix has shown us time and time again how easy it is to steal an amok and replace it with a fake, so we must always assume that the sentikids are compromised because to assume otherwise is to invite the miraculouses to fall into the wrong hands. It's just not worth the risk to trust a senti.

Along the same lines, the love square should never be canon unless Marinette gives up Guardianship because Adrien is a liability to the safety of the miraculouses even if he didn't wield on himself. The only way to get around this issue is to use the wish to make the sentikids human, but Gabe failed to even do that one kindness for his son, so here we are. Season six will either drive this point home by having Lila use the amoks to mess with Adrien or it will drop the sentiplot forever, proving just how cheap and poorly thought out it was.

Other issues I think I've already addressed in other posts, but that are still a problem that make the plot bad:

a sentimonster's creator defines the sentimonster's worth, thus there being no issue with Felix making sentimonsters and then killing them or the heroes destroying them, but it would somehow be wrong if we did the same thing to any of the sentikids

any command you give a sentimonster can be overwritten and sentimonsters can't resist even if they know they're being controlled, so there's truly no hope to free them

giving your leading lady anxiety issues and a boyfriend whose free will is constantly in jeopardy is cruel and unusual punishment

an insane number of lore issues like why is it impossible to destroy other sentimonsters, but Adrien can be destroyed in akuma fights? Cataclysms are pure destruction! It makes no sense that akumas can do what a cataclysm can't. And is Adrien able to die a natural death? What happens to his amok when he does? Will his children be able to be controlled by his amok too since they're part of him?

the lore around Gabe & Emilie finding the miraculous makes no sense and should not be possible. That's another rant, though.

OOO DRAGON AU!!!! What is dragon au? And yacht au? :D ❤️

Hi! Thank you for asking hehe

The dragon au is about Jeongin and Seungmin stumbling upon a portal and meeting dragon rider Jisung who takes them to the other dragon riders. How the dragon riding thing works is that dragons choose their rider, not the other way around. You can only become a dragon rider if you obtain a dragon tooth, one the dragon has to give willingly. Having a dragon tooth gives you a type of influence over the dragon.

(like with dogs when they change their teeth, dragons try to eat their teeth before you can notice, if the dragon trusts you, they leave the tooth where you can find it, which means over time, you can have multiple teeth and can give them away to packmates but you should at least keep one tooth of your dragon for yourself)

Having a dragon tooth as a pendant shows that you’re part of someones "pack"

When a dragon tooth gets destroyed, the dragon loses it's connection with you and might also not recognise you anymore, it's very stressful for both the rider and the dragon because both feel off and unbalanced and empty. The dragons might even get aggressive or isolate themselves out of pain and confusion.

So what the skz dragon riders do is rehabilitate dragons and try to reunite them with their previous rider or find a new one for them so they can feel happy again.

Going to stop there cause I could write PAGES explaining the dragon au honestly hahah, main pairing is jeongsung with side changjin, minlix and seungchan

Snippet:

When Jeongin comes back, he has a second dragon tooth around his neck and it has Jisung's vision spinning. It drives him up the wall how he’s smelling two scents now. A scent that isn’t his on someone that is.  It’s not uncommon for packmates to wear multiple teeth, sometimes it's because of mutiple lovers, sometimes to show owed debts. But only Beomgyu would be cocky enough to ask Jeongin to wear the second necklace around his neck. When that’s definitely the place Jisung would smell him the most. Beomgyu would probably be laughing right now if he could see the way Jisung has tunnel visioned upon Jeongin's throat.

Yacht au is my hyuninchan au! It's about Chan, Seungmin, Jisung, Minho and Changbin who are a yacht crew and rich kids Hyunjin, Felix and Jeongin coming along when their parents rent the yacht. A lot of it is Chan figuring out where he stands with Hyunjin and Jeongin, who are already together and trying to navigate how he fits with them without feeling self concious of the fact that hyunin have known each other for so much longer and just the general "Chan being too selfless and thinking he doesn't deserve to be happy with them"

Snippet:

"Hyunjin, I’m not -I don’t-  Something in his voice makes Hyunjin pull away. Part of Chan feels relieved but there’s also a small treacherous part of him that misses having Hyunjin close. He tries to swallow that part down to gather his thoughts. "What’s wrong baby." Hyunjin is looking at him so gently and Chan wants to sob. He doesn’t deserve this. Hyunjin doesn’t deserve this. For entirely different reasons.

I have posted snippets of the yacht au before if you'd like to check them out here and here and here

Sorry for the length of this dhhdh but thank you again for your ask and for letting me ramble, I appreciate it <3

[niniane17]

So I finally watched Saltburn. Spoilers, I guess? Whatever.

Why didn't anyone tell me what it was about? I thought it was some smutty teen movie about a crush! And there I was, thinking that my decade-long hyperfixation with the zombification process would never come in handy!!!

The rest is under the cut because it's a long read.

(As if anyone will care LOL)

I'll be honest and say I watched it mostly because I read somewhere it was a movie set in 2007 about a bunch of teens, and guess who also was a teen back then? I even visited Oxford in summer 2006. Though people had long forgotten Murder on the dancefloor. I think the hit was I don't feel like Dancing. Rosamund Pike was still known as Jane Bennet to most people, and she was in London starring in a Tennessee William play -I know because I had a leaflet, and I think I have it somewhere still. Oh those were the days!

But in the end, I'm glad I didn't know a lot about it, so I could enjoy with fresh eyes and no preconcieved notions, which I did, up to a point. Then I stopped.

Please note that I will only describe the themes here, because if I were to nitpick the plot (especially its insane timeline) I may never finish. Though I do wish we'd seen the dialogue between Lady Catton and her lawyers at the end: I may buy her being stupid enough to give away her inheritance to some kid she knew years ago, but I absolutely don't buy her legal firm accepting it.

Ehm. Anyway.

It has been described as an "eat-the-rich" film, and in a way it is, in the same way The Witch is about female empowerment.

As I said before, much of the audience's confusion towards that movie comes from the fact that we see women's liberation and empowerment as a good thing, whereas the folktales clearly depicted it as a bad thing. The same thing happens here.

The protagonist does, in a way, eat the rich people around him, or rather he drinks them, since it mostly uses the vampire metaphor, but it's not supposed to be a good thing. I've read somewhere it's supposed to be "ambiguous" but no, sorry, there's nothing ambiguous about it. The upper class is depicted as stupid and kind of rude, but ultimately harmless. Most notably, we don't even know how they made so much money, though it's hard to believe they made it by being silly and harmless.

In contrast, Oliver lies all the time, and the big twists* about him are that he faked his poverty, revealing a wallet full of money (because if you have money in your wallet or even bank account that means you can spend it. Budget? What's that?) and that he faked his interest for Felix, at least initially. Perhaps he did come to love him eventually, but his desire is always tied to creepy or downright necrophilic acts, showing that for him, they're one and the same. The representation is crude, but the message is clear: the only way two members of different classes can be equal and in a loving relationship is if one of them is dead, and if you allow any mingling between the classes, lower one will absorb the upper one until there's nothing left of it.

Yeah, well, I don't care for that, to say the least.

I do understand the movie is symbolic, it's not like they're trying to hide it: there are vampires, doppelgangers, ghosts, fairies, minotaurs, pagan gods, and so on. I was sad for a moment there were no zombies, but then again, it's better this way: zombies represent undenturent servitude and slavery, and this is a movie where being faithful to your master is shown as a good thing. I really don't want to see a story where a Zombie Master is the good guy.

(You know you hit rock bottom when fucking Game of Thrones is better at themes than you)

So yeah, I do get it Oliver is a symbol. It's just that I think he's the symbol of something awful, right from the Victorian Era, with all its anxiety and fears about social mobility. It may be wrapped in a shiny package to appeal to young people but the content is reactionary and very dangerous.

Besides, even at a symbolic level, it's a failure: even the evilest vampire is made, not born. Who turned Oliver first? And where is it? Is it still out there, haunting Britain, Europe, and possibly the world, like a ghost? Nobody seems to care.

(Yeah, that's another thing: the upper class screaming for help because they're hunted by ghosts. Yeah, well, I sure hope you are. The question is by which)

(No, I'm afraid Dickens won't be of any help this time. Trust me, he really won't)

It isn't even that I don't understand the fear of being preyed upon and sucked dry by people close to you. I do, and it's even happened to me. But in my experience, the relationship with those people tend to complicated and very difficult to parse. In a way, it's almost a comforting fantasy thinking of them as machiavellian geniuses out to get you, rather than people who have their own shit going on and who just don't care about your feelings as you care for theirs. Or who just don't like you as you like them.

Speaking of which, I've seen people argue this is not a story about class but rather about shitty individuals, but it doesn't work. Just like Eggers' Witches are inextricably tied to their gender, and the horror comes from the difference between how women ought to behave and how the witches behave, Oliver's deeds are tied to his middle class extraction, and the horror comes from the difference between what he does and how he ought to behave instead.

And the members of the "lower class" do know how they should behave: indeed, towards the end we see Oliver being looked at with disgust by the manor's servants, and the butler is very antagonistic towards him. Tellingly, the movie's original ending showed Oliver being served the same breakfast he had refused at the beginning, symbolizing the fact that for the working class he will always be an usurper who may have inserted himself into the upper class but doesn't have the "right blood". I guess this was a little too much even for them.

Finally, it costs me to admit it, but even those filthy rich people have to work, or at least some of them do. The illusion of living a carefree life full of leasures is just that, an illusion. Once Oliver's dance is over, he's got a shitload of work ahead of him, possibly for the rest of his life. If he were a true-born (lol) parasite, that would scare him shitless.

I did like the deer costume though, it was neat. I also liked the dance, but I would have chosen Can't touch this instead.

TL; DR: Watch The Talented Mr Ripley instead. And then watch US by Jordan Peele. Ok it's set in a different country with different politics and blah blah blah, but at least it knows what story it's telling and also zombie metaphors are so much better for these things. Also I'd recommend The Shadow by Andersen too. It's a nice story that predates a lot of the modern doppelganger ones.

*Get it??? Oliver's Twists???? No but really, of all the literary references this is the one that makes the least sense. It just so happens that Dickens did, in fact, write about a villain focused on slowly evicting his master from his house in a parasitic way, and he was also compared to a vampire (and a zombie too, though Dickens doesn't use that word of course. And I think there's some ambiguous shit going on with him too, if you know what I mean). The difference is that Dickens, as a member of the middle class, wants to protect the middle class' interests so he depicts the working class member as the evil parasite. I guess what goes around comes around.

Couldn't anyone just...I don't know, google all this shit? It's not like Dickens is some unknown writer. I also don't think the Midsummer Night's Dream references were relevant, but I guess Othello would have been too obvious? IDK. Slutty fairies are cool, though.

[ felix mallard, cis man, he/him ] - was that THEO ASTOR i saw by the lighthouse today? i heard that the TWENTY-SIX year old who has been in nightrest for HIS ENTIRE LIFE ON AND OFF and works as NANNY has a reputation of being EASYGOING, but also DENSE. they reside in STOUGHTON ESTATES & people in town usually associate them with DISCARDED HEADSHOTS, A LIGHT AND CASUAL DEMEANOR, GIFTED DESIGNER CLOTHING, & AN EMPTY BRAIN.. let’s hope the killer doesn’t go after them next.

BASIC INFORMATION:

FULL NAME: Theo William Astor

NICKNAMES: N/A

DATE OF BIRTH: October 15th, 1996

ETHNICITY: White-American

FACE CLAIM: Felix Mallard

HAIR & EYE COLOR: Dark Brown

HEIGHT: 5’11”

TATTOOS & PIERCINGS: None

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual

OCCUPATION: Live-In Nanny for Dilara Kaplan

LANGUAGES SPOKEN: English

BACKGROUND: 

grew up in nightrest in an upper-middle class household, with a few siblings. his family was very loving, and never placed many expectations on any sibling besides wanting them to try their best. theo was best known for his personality, rather than any talents. he wasn’t particularly smart, or athletically gifted, but he was always very friendly and outgoing. as a result, in school, his grades usually suffered and theo often needed a tutor to pass most classes, but he was known for being a fun-loving pretty boy. 

to compensate for being an average student, theo tried to work at least to show his parents he wasn’t entirely useless. he worked at mama’s for a couple months before getting fired, waiting tables and having to remember so many things hard for him at the time. since he’d taken care of one of his little sisters when he was growing up, theo figured he’d be good at babysitting, and started doing that to make some money. it helped that he was well liked, despite being a little slow, and many of the mothers in town saw him as cute and let him help out. he babysat for a particularly rich family that lived in stoughton estates for a while, the mother a talent agent who was often out of town for work. after babysitting her kids for about a year, she told him that he was good-looking enough to become a model, and offered to take him on as a client granted he move to la when he graduated high school. seeing as he didn’t have any idea of what he wanted to do, theo agreed and his parents supported him.

when he moved to la, he managed to do well when he started off, booking small gigs at first and eventually becoming well known enough to land himself on the covers of magazine and become a print model for designer brands. though, it wasn’t his pretty face that got him entirely there, as he had a charm that appealed to more than a few female celebrities, becoming known for brief flings with older women that were often over the tabloids. without really noticing, he developed a reputation and became favored by most female photographers in the industry. theo just figured they were being nice, and didn’t entirely get why. 

he became well off, but over time, he felt like a lot of his life had become superficial. in the beginning, he had fun modelling and being able to make a name for himself, but it had began to feel like more of a chore than anything else after all those years and have more of a stable life. when he heard what happened in nightrest at the charity gala, he decided to move back home, missing the place he’d grown up with and wanting to see the people he’d missed.

having only a high school diploma and modeling experience, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for a new job for theo. he had made more than enough money to live comfortably for a while, but he was the kind of person that grew bored easily, so he wanted to have something to do and feel happy about. theo remembered enjoying babysitting kids a lot when he was younger, his easgoing demeanor making it easy for pretty much all babies and children to like him. he had a few connections around town still, and got a recommendation to become dilara kaplan’s new live-in nanny.

HEADCANONS

very stupid, but very sweet <3 he’s basically a puppy and gets along with pretty much everyone. his personality is very charming and light-hearted, so theo has never struggled to make friends

definitely not the brightest guy. despite having been with a lot of women, he’s not really good at flirting and doesn’t get what to do besides being nice and giving them a pretty smile

has a lot of expensive clothing, mainly because of modeling. most of his closet was gifted to him and he’s rarely gone shopping.

is a very nurturing person, very much a feeling over thinking kind of person. he gets along well with kids and animals very well probably because he’s simple-minded like them

doesn’t have any tattoos because of his former job, but also has never really thought about what he’d want either

was famous among other celebrities while living in los angeles, but is still just a regular guy underneath it all and you wouldn’t recognize him unless you were really looking

[sanini-panini]

i mentioned i was doing this oc ask game and some friends off tumblr threw questions at me but i thought i’d cross post here for funsies (part 3)

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

this is for all nineteen of them so. it's long.

OLD GUARD

jinal - she is so often asked to be the voice of reason that she doesn't like to appear overly emotional in front of other people. she rarely ever gets angry in public, and up until imprisonment, only a single digit number of people had seen her cry in person (kai, minerva, ridwan, silpa). that said, kai and minerva tend to be her sounding boards when she does need to vent.

haku - do you want the short list? because the long list is at least a thousand pages long. haku wears an assortment of carefully curated masks in public, all with the intent of getting other people to hate them. they play the part of the aloof seer, but no one cares more than them. you will have to pry this truth from their cold, dead body.

minerva - she hates showing any sign of weakness--including her soft spot for cute things. those closest to her know that she likes baby animals and small children, but she puts up a front most of the time. she would never admit that these things reminder her of ven.

ven - ven is all smiles in public. they'll never show when they feel hurt or angry or scared or any of the hundreds of other negative emotions. it's not that they push these emotions down forever--they just save them for later, when they can vent in private.

kai - he does his best to hide his past. he really doesn't need everyone knowing he was raised as a prince. some of this still peeks through in his formal mannerisms, however.

mateen - his anger issues :) or, more accurately, his tendency to jump to extreme courses of action at the slightest provocation. he's pretty good at redirecting himself now, but sometimes when things are bad, his old habits shine through.

ridwan - the chismosa side. they are, for the most part, a very particular individual with a fairly serious demeanor, but they are actually such a gossip like don't even get them started.

silpa - silpa actually doesn't have nearly as much self-confidence as she pretends to have. she knows she's the best there is at making gadgets and gizmos, but she craves reassurance when it comes to other things. luckily, ridwan and jinal have caught onto this.

felix - he spends so much time trying to be self sufficient and not bother the others, but he actually likes being coddled and taken care of. he'd never admit it, but mateen and ridwan are smart enough to see through felix's facade.

NEW GUARD

ilia - she has a bit of a stubborn streak and a hint of rebellion in her, but she's been raised to be straight-laced and reticent, so she hides these things away.

morgan - vulnerability. moving on.

peter - uhhhh. dude. do you want the short list? the long list isn't as long as haku's, if only because it's more situational. he's an open book in terms of his opinions, but he's always hiding his true motives--not because he is ashamed of them, but because he does not trust the others to stay out of his way.

juli - basically identical to the ven problem. he is always smiling in public because he doesn't want to bring others down with his negative emotions.

lian - similar to the kai problem. they were raised as a rich kid, and though they've tried to scrub this away, sometimes it pops out. they hate the elitism tied to their upbringing and prefer to approach everyone on equal footing.

joshua - ahahaha well. we could go with vulnerability. but the real answer is the anger issues. he thinks he's a monster, fueled by murderous fury, and every time he gets angry in public, it's a reminder of this ugly irredeemable piece of him that he cannot leave behind.

rae - erm. also the anger issues. not because his anger is uncontrollable--but because it would be inconvenient for anyone to realize that he is anything more than a mild-mannered novice lawyer with bad music taste.

karyme - the tumblrina side. her media archival work is all on a public blog, but i think if anyone found her personal ao3 account she would pass out. no one needs to know that she was a mod in a superwholock rp server as a teen.

dani - dani spends so much time being a de-facto leader in the group, but he actually... prefers to be silly and have fun. if the fate of the world were not at stake she would be one of the first to vote for hsm sleepovers and homemade sundaes, bc she very much did not get to have that growing up.

auster - hrm... i think auster has a sassy side to him that he just hasn't gotten to show yet. he has wisecracks running in his veins, but he won't use them unless he feels comfortable enough to do so.

[bigfatbreak]

lmao im absolutely loving ur feralnette au I like obsessively scrolled thru ur tag today I love the idea of her finally fucking letting loose

Question: how do feralnette and felix start to get to know each other? Her walls are up pretty high and I'm curious how he managed to chip away at them

the answer to that is: he was relentlessly annoying.

Felix has high standards in his friends and associates, and there was absolutely no one in class he could talk to about fashion. He's always brimming with ideas, especially since his parents are more than happy to provide materials for him, but its... difficult, not having someone to talk to about it. Sure he can call his mom - he's nearly a momma's boy with how he dotes on her - but its not the SAME as being IN THE MOMENT with someone.

he manages to glance at Marinette's sketchbook and sees its full of outfit ideas, and essentially (in private) calls her out on her bluff of being a mean tough girl, and after like a week of him bugging her nonstop she finally caves and starts talking fashion with him. its really hard to ignore a guy who keeps asking genuine questions like "which would be the best complimentary color for this vest" and "is silk worth it or is faux silk the better option since I'm just practicing' and "how do I undo this stitch without making the material fray" with no ulterior motive. she's kind of, soothed, by knowing answers to these questions in a way that isn't, LIFE THREATENING-

Marinette's not too leery of Felix since he's a transfer student, (he's got no ulterior motives that involve her) and he's so damn snooty with his standards that she figures he won't try to drag her into other friendships, so he's a safe 'associate' to have. This is correct! Felix's friends are mostly online or long distance. he doesn't try to drag her into drama or anything either, he's not hitting her up at three in the morning asking for relationship advice or to copy her notes, he basically JUST talks about fashion with her.

its a safe topic she doesn't mind broaching. its after a couple weeks of them bouncing around this topic that their conversations begin to bleed into the personal area of actual friendship rather than "a truce so I can talk about my hyperfixation with you" and she starts to let her guard down around him.

[felixwikipage]

“what do you believe in Felix?” “Creation.”

[Analysis below]

I really hope 1. the sentimonster theory is true, so that way we would finally get an interesting side plot line than the “i want my wife back, better beat up kids that are in love” “”plot”” but also 2. Felix is the only sentimonster. I would really prefer only him than Adrien to be one. Not just because it would make more sense to give such a tragic deposition to a side character than main character, but it’ll be a main component to finally separate him from Adrien.

I guess I dont mind if both of them are. I mean the ring rubbing for adrien (which is ‘evidence’ I dont really like to rely on too much because the ring theory is too messy, but its definitely something to not ignore) wishmaker episode only knowing to obey parents since birth pretty much, and the biggest and most sus evidence is ‘evolution’ episode where adrien’s parents are clearly going to make something. So it could be both of them, but this is why I’d prefer it to be felix.

Felix and Adrien are so similar in almost every part of their life. They are both from rich families, both dont have the best social skills making friends (but obviously adrien more so than felix), they both lost a parent also around the same time, they’re very exceptional with everything they try at, and literally similar arcs (as we know so far) with wanting to be independent. But they’re different how? Felix is the mean one? That’s just not enough to have 2 distinguishing characters. They can have similar arcs but clearly need their own crutch or stic ya know to be different. Clearly adrien already has his cat noir arc plus papa being baddie going on. So it would be so interesting to not just stack another awful thing onto adrien and instead give it to felix where he finaly has his own thing going on.

At the moment, the theory is not yet 100% confirmed (not counting just ‘tweets’ its gotta be said in the show, finding out through twitter doesnt count and if we needed to find out through twitter then that isnt good writing....but...its miraculous soo lolll) The audience however is now more conscious about the idea of sentimonster rights lol. So who better to explore that avenue than someone who is one. 

Adrien has a lot on his plate already to be a sentimonster lol. Even though I find it hard to see how adrien isnt in the mix of all this, especially with the evidence that supports adrien being one...evolution episode being the biggest one.

crazy theory: Gabriel and Emelie made a child (felix) using the peacock miraculous because Emelie couldn't bear one (painting of emilie reference)...but then later she actually miraculously did get pregnant, and thats adrien. 

Emilie: “soo what are we going to do with this child that we created?”

Gab: “eh..just give it to your sister”

(LOL) The alternative is adriens and felix parents back and forth passing each other the peacock miraculous to make their own children, which is tooo messy. Ya my theory falls a lil towards the end lol, but everything is pointing to both or one of them being sentis but we just know how it all happened.

Conclusion, give felix the sentimonster arc, it’ll be cool, and he would be able to handle it more than adrien who already has a lot on his plate. Wether some of us believe in the theory or not, cant lie and say the destruction of sentimonsters is not in our conscious now after Risk. Everytime we see one get snapped out, thats a sentient being losing its life. Gosh what an interesting avenue to explore uhgh if it ever happens, if not a much more interesting side plot better replace it. And I mean a really goood motive for felix. It must be good since they have been hiding it for so long no??

Chapter index

This story is an au to instinct by @fizzydrink698.

World primer: this is not the standard aboverse, but rather everyone has a biological sex and is additionally either alpha or omega. Alphas tend to be bigger and stronger than their omega counterparts. Traditionally relationships should be between Alphas and Omegas. Once a year alphas experience the Rut a time where they feel an intense need to mate. The omega equivalent is called heat and happens twice a year. This time is best spend with partners :3

Instinct TL;DR: Alpha reader is in college and lives together with her Omega flatmates Felix, Jisung, and Chan who reader has a crush on. Other people in her friend group are Hyunjin, with who she has a strained relationship, and Changbin, a close friend with rich parents. Now, sometime after she has broken up with her toxic ex, her Rut is around the corner and she is partnerless.

Part One: How did I think this was a good idea?

You woke up jittery and pumped up, like a bad case of too much coffee. It had been a terrible idea to try and do this alone. That much became clear in the first few hours that you were awake. No matter what you did your goddamn body wanted to come again. Stupid hormones.

After who knows how much time, your hand was cramping. Great. You stared at the ceiling. What have I done in my past life to deserve this? Your legs trembled and you tried to loosen the cramp in your hand. It could not continue like this. You had to do something. There was no good option really, but there was someone who was maybe willing to help. With your not cramping hand, you grabbed your phone and call the person you should have called yesterday. You from the past had packed some clothes into a bag and you were thankful for it. In your current state, you did not have the brain juice to pack everything you would need to pass as 'dressed'. Putting on clothes was the worst. Your skin was too sensitive and every movement of the fabric made you want to take it off again. Sadly you had to be decent. Getting fined for walking naked on the street was the last thing you wanted.

You sent a message to the roommate group that you were leaving and they should stay in their rooms until you were gone. Before you opened the door you took a deep breath in and stormed out of the apartment as fast as possible. The hallway outside the apartment was not much better. The scent hit you like a brick wall. You stumbled to the building entrance and the fresh air cleared your head a bit. 

A black car was parked in front of the building. It was not a taxi. There was no meter. You suspected that this was the Seo family’s private car. The driver, an older alpha man, who did not show any reaction to your probably off-the-charts scent opened the door for you and you sold into the back seat. The leather of the seats was cold and you were not sure if you liked it. On one hand, your body was burning up, but the cool surface made you shiver. The drive to Changbin’s place was not very long but it felt like ages. You tapped your fingers on your thigh. Rubbed your hands on your pants. Pants. Oh, how much you hate the feeling of the fabric against your skin. The car pulled up in front of the tall building. Was it a skyscraper already or was it not tall enough for that title? The driver escorted you to the elevator under the watchful eyes of the guard sitting behind his desk. He did not say anything, but he and the driver seemed to know each other. At the elevator, the driver entered a code and pressed the button for the floor. No one can just enter, you have to have a code. The few time you had been there before, Changbin had been with you, so you did not the code. The driver wished you a good day as the doors closed and you were alone in the brushed metal box. 

The apartment was on the second to last floor of the skyscraper and the ride up gave you time to study the elevator. You looked at your reflection in the mirror opposite the doors. Something wild and desperate seemed to jump up out of your eyes. Everyone who would have seen even if they were not in smelling distance would know. With a ding! the elevator stopped and the doors slid open.

Already the hallway reeked of wealth with its polished stone walls and stucco ceiling. You hated coming here because it was a reminder that your best friend came from a different world. Changbin preferred your place too. He had rarely invited you over, but today was different. It would be better to be here than at your apartment where your roommates could hear you. You rang the doorbell and an old woman opened the door. Her long white hair was tied in a harsh top knot which only added to the dropping corners of her mouth. She was so old that you could not even tell if she had been an alpha or omega. 

"It’s you. Come in."

The hallway looked like you remembered it to be. One door on the right and two on the left. The ceiling was high enough that no one would hit their head on the chandelier hanging from it. In the air hung the smell of your friend. 

The old lady led you to Changbin’s bedroom. You had known which door it was but still. The door closed behind you and you were alone in the oversized room. It was sparsely decorated. There was a bed with lots of open space around it, the nightstand next to it, and a tall drawer. Changbin was nowhere to be seen but the door to his small ensuite bathroom was closed. The main bathroom was across the hall and Changbin barely used it. 

The sun was on its way towards the horizon and its warm light filled the room. The city below has no idea you were watching. 

The bathroom door opened behind you and Changbin’s familiar scent hit your nose. It was homey and you wanted nothing more than falling into his arms, burying your nose in his neck. 

“Thanks that I could-“

You choked when you saw him. Changbin wore a silky bathrobe that hugged his body. While he was not very tall, he made up for it with his physique, big arms, big chest, and wide shoulders. His hair fell into his dark eyes, softening the angular lines of his face. But that was not what made you speechless. 

“Bin..”

“I guess you like it.”

 The tone of his voice was soft. You swallowed hard, your throat was dry. Changbin watched as your brain tried to make sense of the different signals it was receiving. Your nose said this was your alpha best friend, warm and familiar. But your eyes were glued on the collar around his neck. As you were transfixed by the leather band he took a step forward and leaned his head back. Exposing his neck to you in a gesture that was like a kick to the stomach. You hooked a finger in the metal ring at the front of the collar and pulled on it. Changbin followed the pull obediently. You pushed him on his bed. Your body was burning with need. Stupid hormones. You crawled onto the bed and straddled his hips. His hands rested on your thighs, eyes on your face. The sight of the collar was burning its way through your soul, down to the very deepest, oldest desires. You ground your hips down on him and a low groan came from Changbin. When you talked to him, he usually changed his voice to be softer, less intimidating, but now it was deep and rough. 

You undid the knot in his bathrobe and slid the smooth fabric off his chest. Secretly you had always wanted to touch his chest, but it never seemed appropriate. 

“You look so good.”

Changbin was frozen in place, mouth half-open. When you dragged your nails over his skin, he sighed and arched into your touch. Your hands wandered down and you had to leave your spot on his hips to get the robe off him. To your surprise, he did not wear underwear. The robe had been the only thing that kept him decent. He was hard and ready to go, but you need a moment. 

“Bin…”

Out of all the ones you had seen this in front of you was the biggest. Yes, there was porn with ridiculously big reproductive parts, but this was real life. He reminded you of that toy you had bought out of hubris. You rarely used it because the stretch was too much for most days. It made you come alright but in a fast, painful way. Your hormone-crazed mind did not care and wrapped your hand around him. He closed his eyes and sighed as you lightly pumped him. 

You studied his face. Changbin had pretty lips, that were wet from him licking them and full, ready to be kissed. Your inner muscles clench around nothing when you saw the collar again. You needed to be filled now. Changbin opened his eyes and you aligning him with your entrance.

"Wait-wait-wait-wait."

He grabbed your hips and you snapped out of your thought bubble. Right, maybe I should have asked.

"I’m sorry, do you want to use something."

He blinked at you for the fraction of a second and automatically said: 

"Middle drawer."

You let go of him and open the drawer. It was full of condoms. At least we won’t run out of those. You smiled to yourself. Your last brain cells having a bit of gallows humor.

"That’s not what I meant to say, but it’s good."

"No? What did you mean then?"

You dropped a handful of foil packages on the nightstand. Changbin licked his lips and it struck you how hot and bothered he looked. His brown eyes were almost black and there was a tension that was hard to locate. He was desperate and for your usually very composed friend, it said a lot that you could tell. In your years of knowing him, it had become clear that he was good at hiding how he really felt if he wanted to.

"Sit on my face."

It was almost a question. A deep blush rose from his chest up to his cheeks, but he did not break eye contact. You did not say anything as you crawled up the bed and swung a leg to the other side of his head. His hands grabbed your hips and guided you down until you felt his tongue make contact. Your fingers tangled in his soft hair. It was a bit damp. 

He had his eyes closed and brows furrowed in concentration. You could see why it needed his full attention. His tongue rapidly flicked your clit and you grabbed his hair tighter. Just when the sensation started to become too repetitive his head moved towards you, his mouth attaching to your skin, sucking and licking. 

"You’re doing so good, Binnie."

He hummed at the praise and felt like you were getting close. You move off him and took a few calming breaths. There was not any point in pacing yourself this weekend, but you really wanted to ride that dick. Changbin looked dazed, eyes clouded and breathing heavy. Beautiful.

For a moment you pondered rolling the condom on with your mouth just to see the look on Changbin’s face, but you were too impatient. 

This time he did not protest as you aligned yourself with him. The head pressed against you and Changbin watched with an expression you could not interpret. For a moment you were worried that it would not go in. You tried to relax a much as possible and brute-forced the rest, going down until your hips touched. The stretch was overwhelming and you held your breath, frozen in place not daring to move. You were so full. Compared to your toy at home Changbin was more yielding so it did not hurt as much. That did not mean this was going to be easy sailing. You felt him shift beneath you and when you opened your eyes, you were face to face with a very alarmed-looking Changbin. There was something else in his eyes, dread. 

"You okay?"

He brushed away a tear that had snuck out the corner of your eye. 

"It’s so much."

"I know."

He cupped your face and looked at you. 

"I should have stopped you."

His finger brushed your cheek. You breathed very slowly. Every breath changed the poison sightly and you wanted the opposite.

"Do you want to stop?"

The concern on his face and the softness in his voice melted your insides. A sudden affection washed over you like warm summer rain. You pulled him into a hug and buried your face in his neck. His hands ran over your back, while you breathed in his scent. It was not the overwhelming punch in the face Hyunjin had given you but it made you feel something. The good times and the bad times you had spent in Changbin’s arms, warm and secure. But today there was something else in his scent. He was so turned on, you could smell it as a light sweetness. Lips moved on your neck, kissing down to your shoulder. You tried to relax, but it felt like you would just rip open if you released the tension from your muscles. The stubborn part of you did not want to admit defeat. 

Changbin move further down until he reached your chest and pulled one of your nipples into his mouth. When he lightly bit it, you clench around him. He hummed and you totally focus on what his mouth was doing. 

"So good."

The sucking and biting were lighting a fire in your stomach, a heat rose from your chest up. You had not even noticed when you had started rocking your hips. A low moan vibrated through Changbin’s chest. The sound resonated within you.

"Don’t hold back, I want to hear you."

Your breathless voice was desperate. You were so close, just a few more movements of your hips. Changbin was still sucking on your chest but looked up with his pretty eyes. You grabbed his collar and pushed him down on the mattress. Your hands on his chest, you rocked your hips back and forth chasing your high. A moan filled the room, but you were not sure if it was you or him. Your whole body tensed and your movements were tiny. 

"Fuck."

You swung a leg over and got off Changbin. Breathing heavily you lay on the bed. It was both, a relief and a loss to not have him in you anymore. I may not survive this weekend. Death by dick is a good way to go though. 

Your breathing calmed down and you opened your eyes to see Changbin working himself up. You opened your mouth to say something, but his back arched off the bed and he came all over his chest. Oh boy, was I that bad that he had to finish himself? 

His climax had silent, just a soft gasp, followed by controlled breathing. A bitter taste appeared in your mouth. Had you disappointed him this much? You were embarrassed and disappointed in yourself. This was your best friend and you had left him high and dry. Literally. What if this had an impact on your friendship.

Changbin moving brought you back to reality. You wanted to apologize but you did not know what to say. 

He glanced at you before really looking.

"Oh, you are awake? Did I wake you up?"

"Why would I not be awake?"

Changbin sat up careful to not stain the sheets. 

"It’s the first day of your rut. That often knocks me out."

He gave you his lopsided grin. Today with your head spinning from all the hormones raging inside you it made your heart flutter. 

"I’m gonna freshen up and you should take a shower."

"Are you saying I’m dirty?"

You raised an eyebrow and Changbin gave you a cheeky nod. He successfully evaded your slap that was aimed at his arm and made his way to the bathroom. 

You marveled at your friend as he walked away. Somehow it had never crossed your mind how good-looking he was. He was your friend so there was something you were things you liked about him. You enjoyed his company, but dang he looked good with his clothes off. 

You went to the bathroom after him and let the hot water wash away the grind of the day. It seemed like a good idea to not shower together, and it was. You felt your skin crawl again as you came out of the shower. Shower sex was appealing in theory, but from past experience, it was not as good as one could hope for. Death by dick was one thing but death by slipping during shower sex was another level. 

You dried off with the Softest Towel. Curse this decadent apartment! You wrapped a towel around your shoulders. 

The bedroom was empty when you came back. Changbin’s voice came from down the hall. 

"In the kitchen!"

Speaking of decadence. The 'kitchen' was the most outrageous room in this apartment. It was one big room that doubled as a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. One could think that a kitchen standing in a big room would always stink the place up but that one time you had cooked here the outlet had worked very well. 

Changbin had put his robe back on and sat plates on the table. The smell was mouth-watering. 

"Did you cook?"

Changbin placed a spoon in the curry.

"What do you think?"

"So, it’s eatable."

He made a face at you and mocked your tone. Maybe I should put on some underwear before sitting on the chair? Ah, whatever. 

The dinner was as always Changbin talk about stuff that happened in his lecture and you told him about your odd week leading up to the rut. It felt as always as if nothing had changed. 

Afterward, you turned in for the night in his bed. Even this was not a new thing. You had slept here before, in his bed but now the vibe was different. It hit you that you had had sex with your best friend and you did not know yet how this affect your future relationship. 

You hung the towel in the bathroom and lay down under the sheets. Changbin came in with a bottle of water and set it on the nightstand. He undid the knot on his robe and let the material slid off his shoulders. You tried not to stare, but your body seemed to have its own mind. Yap the big muscles are still there. 

Now that it was not hard it did not look as intimidating but your body remembered. He slipped under the blanket next to you and you wasted no time snuggling up to him. When he wanted, he gave the best hugs. 

"How are we feeling?"

He petted your head and cupped your face. 

"Horny and tired," you replied honestly. 

"Can you sleep?"

Your body was exhausted, you had just eaten and currently hugged your - for lack of a better word - partner. 

"I will try."

"Okay."

Why was his voice this soft? Please Bin you will make me crush on you if you lay it on me like this. 

"If you need my body while I sleep, you can just do your thing, okay? But nothing too extreme."

He gave you a fake stern look. 

"Can you be a bit more specific?"

Your tone was teasing. Changbin was basically giving you a free check. If you were honest, you had not talked that much about bedroom stuff, which also explained why you had no idea about his huge-

"You can touch me all you want. If you want to rub, you know, you can do that too. It’s fine."

"Great now. I’m thinking about that."

Changbin smirked at your exasperated tone. His hand traveled down your leg to your knee and pulled it on top of his hips. Before you could do something his thigh made contact. The impact was a little too hard and that made you snap. With a curse on your lips, you ground your hips against his leg. It felt way better than it should. Changbin flexed his thigh and you whimpered. The tension contracted into a ball in your gut. You did not know what to do with your hands and one of them landed on his arm. 

"So big," you thought aloud. You closed your eyes and focused on the hard muscles. None of your exes had been very fit certainly not like Changbin, it was just not something that was high on your priority list. However, there was a primeval satisfaction in seeing and feeling those muscles flex. 

Something inside you broke and you moaned as your whole body tensed. You rode out your orgasm on his thigh with a death grip on his arm. It would not surprise you if you had left bruises there.

When you opened your eyes, Changbin was watching you.

"Damn it, I left you hanging again."

He brushed over your cheek and a soft smile appeared on his face.

"You will have enough time."

You fell asleep not much later in Changbin’s arms.

A/N: I made the mistake of watching Changbin’s vlog while working on this so excuse the descriptions XD He and his sister are so cute.

Marinette The Perfect Daughter In Law: A Prompt

[ I've seen a few ‘everyone loves Marinette AU’s’ and a couple Marvel DC ‘all the mentors want THEIR kid to end up with Marinette AU’s’ and well frankly! I felt inspired! So I present to you my new prompt / AU thing! In which all the most powerful / rich / popular people in Paris decide to play matchmaker… ]

It starts when Adrien and Kagami have a less than AMICABLE break up according to their parents and the media anyway in reality it was a really REALLY dull break up. The pair have been ‘dating’ (using each other as an excuse to go out and experience normal teenage stuff) since they were 15. Now at 17 soon to be 18 the pair decided to publicly break up in order to pursue other people and interests. The problem is they never told their parents the truth so both Gabriel and Kagami’s mother Tomeo feel protective and concerned about what must surely be an upsetting first heartbreak for their child. And okay maybe both parents take that out on each other and both get a bit defensive and protective. And MAYBE it ends with Tomeo vowing to get revenge for her daughter. Enter, Marinette. Up and coming fashion designer for the rich and famous! She’s single, talented, and as far as Tomeo knows Gabriel is interested in the girl for her talent. So what better revenge could exist but having Marinette take an interest in Kagami!

Kagami has no idea why her mother suddenly has an interest in Marinette but she wont complain about having more time with her very cute designer friend. And all the outfits Tomeo is paying Marinette to make for Kagami is giving the young fencer plenty of up-close and personal moments with Marinette. And okay Marinette is VERY cute and Kagami wont question why she suddenly has all this tine with Marinette, eating ice cream with the girl and having brunch. But she knows shes absolutely head over heels when Marinette shows up at her fencing tournament gives her a luck charm and cheers her on wearing HER colors. Obviously Kagami wiped the floor with all the competition she cant be seen hesitating in front of Marinette!

On Tomeo’s side of things she makes sure that the paparazzi still lurking around after Kagami and Adrien’s breakup catch photos of what could easily be interpreted as dates between the girls. After all this is a revenge ploy but also Marinette is fantastic so Tomeo is 300% down with Kagami ‘bringing her into the family’ something she tells Kagami after the first paparazzi ‘date photos’ leak into the news. Kagami still has no idea this was an orchestrated affair and just thinks her mothers caught on to her feelings and is overjoyed that Marinette is approved of because after the cheek kiss Marinette gave her for winning the fencing tournament Kagami was preparing to fight her mother for the right to pursue the young designer seriously. After all she never hesitates! 

But Tomeo never realized Gabriel isnt the only one interested in Marinette. Audrey Bourgeouis has been keeping an eye on Marinette trying to find a way to get Marinette on to her side and away from Gabriel. So when she sees the photos of Kagami and Marinette she sees an opportunity. After all if Marinette isnt exclusively into men (and those photos of her flushed cheeks as Kagami cleans ice cream off her bottom lip are a clear indication shes not) then Audrey smells opportunity. After all Marinette was Chloe’s first crush! How cute would that be! The next day Marinette is being offered yet another opportunity to intern under Audrey this time with much looser restrictions. When Marinette accepts she suddenly finds herself working with Chloe… A LOT. The pair are modeling together, often paired together for shoots in perfect complementary clothes that screams ‘opposites attract’. Chloe is also helping manage Marinette’s brand and the two start to get along very well. The model photos and their business lunches are soon plastered alongside the Kagami and Marinette outings with parisian gossip blogs finding their interest picked by this potential love triangle.

Chloe for one, was confused at first. Sure she knew her mom was interested in Marinette but she never thought SHE would be working so closely with her first crush. And Chloe tries to ignore it, after all those are dead feelings! And Marinette woud never forgive her anyway so why even- Wait. Is that Marinette in a downright gorgeous golden dress? A-and she will be posing right next to Chloe for their shared shoot? Well… Chloe always thought herself deserving of royalty and damn if Marinette aint the princess of her dreams. Sorry Adriken’s you had your chance to get the girl, but now its winner keeps all and Marinette is the only prize shes interested in. For the record Alya is freaked out by Chloe being nice, but shes more weirded out by Chloe being protective and handsy and downright shamelessly flirty with Marinette. Audrey is pleased when she hears the news and is quick to give her daughter encouragement acting as if none of this was premeditated at ALL.

Oh but they have no idea that this is just the beginning. Because guess who's moved back into town. Adrien’s favorite cousin and aunty. And Felix’s mom is quite the busybody and dammit Felix needs friends! And maybe a cute girlfriend! And oh whos that pretty girl on the magazine cover? Marinette? The one her celebrity connections have nothing but praise for? Perfect! Shes invited to lunch with Felix and herself on friday to discuss movie costumes! And oh Audrey dear dont you think Marinette would look fabulous sandwiched between TWO blondes! Felix hasnt modeled in a while but come now. So suddenly Marinette is being spotted with Felix guiding him about paris and modeling with him AND Chloe under AUDREY’s brand NOT Gabriels.

Felix thought hed really hate Marinette; he tried to ignore her he really did. But shes funny, witty and sweet. Not to mention trustworthy, so a good candidate for a business partner. And thats it, but then he has to admit hes impressed when he rolls up to a photoshoot and Chloe! The definition of brat personified is acting… Bearable. Yes, somehow Marinette has done the impossible! She has tamed the beast known as Chloe. And yes fine he will admit shes drop dead gorgeous and how intelligent of her to learn all sides of the fashion industry and boost her rep with modelling! Soon hes spending more time with her, he tries to argue he needs a guide, that shes the most bearable person to be with! That she is just a friend- Oh god. No it cant be! He sounds like-! Like ADRIEN! And Chloe already told him about THAT mess! No! Absolutely not! He will not lead on Marinette like his idiot cousin! Marinette is a rare and beautiful woman! She could be his queen! And god he has to admit it much as he loathes too Marinette’s smile is enough to make him thank every non-existent god. He will win her heart, show her that she deserves better than his brain dead cousin! Felix is sure mother will approve of his decision to pursue the girl, now he just needs to do more shoots with Marinette...

And that's what finally gets Gabriel to snap. Because REALLY Felix!? Is there no loyalty to FAMILY. Not to mention he was totally drafting a potential contract for Marinette when Audrey snapped her up the witch! But its fine! Marinette has always been interested in Adrien! Surely she still is? Surely she's not been swayed by any of her new suitors! Right? Gabriel knows he can't mess with Audrey’s contract so he goes through Adrien, freeing up his sons schedule and telling him to spend time with Marinette to help her ‘adapt’ to the harsh world of fashion and modeling. He uses Adrien’s heroic nature to make it sound like hed be saving her from Chloe and Felix. And sure enough Adrien bites, using his friendship with Chloe to worm into fittings, meetings, and photo shoots. At first hes just there to make sure Chloe and Felix arent hurting sweet Marinette. But when he sees the blondes fighting for her attention, flirting with her, posing with her in some rather romantic settings. Suddenly hes less worried and more… Jealous? No! Not him! Hes concerned, confused, suspicious! Obviously he needs to spend more time with Mari- Wait! When did Kagami get here to take Marinette to lunch! And why are they all ignoring him!!!

Now Marinette is fully in the public's eye. Gossip blogs are being fed bits of info writing up each ‘candidates’ appeal as THE romantic partner to the Marinette Dupain-Cheng paris new darling, the girl with a heart of gold too oblivious to see the trail of hearts following her around! But there is still another contender yet to enter the game! Jaggeds been away on tour teaching Luka his up and coming protege all the tricks. And lets not lie Luka has his own fans now, enough to rival all the others. Jagged sees Luka as his own son, even calling him as much! Hell hes even adopted Luka and Juleka and when I say adopted I mean Jagged literally got shared custody of the kids when their real dad tried to start trouble once Luka started gaining fame. Luka and Juleka for one love their adopted father and his wonderful fiance Penny. But back to Jagged, being Jagged. 

The moment Jagged is back in Paris he's checking up on his favorite designer and hopefully future daughter in law! When… WHAT'S THIS?! All the other ritchies in Paris are playing his game! Trying to get Marinette married into THEIR families! Not rock and roll at all! He was here first! And so being Jagged he decides to make Luka’s stake in the race for Marinette’s heart clear! By spamming social media with photos of Marinette being cute with Luka, taking his measurements, going out with him, the pair babying Fang, the two passed out against each other after a long concert. And he has photos going back at least a year or two! Soon Luka’s fans pick up the hype starting a trending hashtag finding the pair cute! Jagged feels confident that hes won! When Audrey retaliates, and from there its a complete train wreck. Before long each pair has a hashtag filled with cute moments and arguing over whos dating the model / fashion designer! 

Meanwhile Adrien is drowning in denial as he goes through each hashtag seething about how many MORE photos everyone else has with Marinette, when HE is her very good friend and was here first! Felix, Chloe and Kagami on the other hand have declared open war after they tried to talk to each other about the hashtags reasonably only for it to devolve into “so you agree Marinette is best with me!” - “WHAT! No! Thats not what I said! Besides she clearly is best with me!” - “Ridiculous!” And so on. Poor Luka is having an entirely different reaction hiding in shame unsure how to face Marinette because he WAS going to ask her on a proper date now that she seems over Adrien, because even with everything she's the melody playing in his heart and he had a plan! But now his mom and sister are texting him and teasing him and apparently he has MORE competition! Who do these people think they are to deserve Marinette! No! Luka won't lose Jagged has been teaching him to be bold and confident! And Marinette is worth all of his efforts! Jagged REGRETS NOTHING even if Penny confiscated the tv remote!

Marinette meanwhile has no idea what's going on because the whole class made a dumb bet on when the designer would notice with one of the bet conditions being that no one could tip Marinette off and that they have to keep her away from Paparazzi so they dont spoil it either. And sense Alya is helping manage Marinette’s social media Marinette hasn't looked at it yet so she has NO idea what's happening. But her birthday is coming up next week and Chloe definitely didn't get dibs on planning a surprise party for her all so she could spoil the girl and RUB her GREAT relationship with Marinette into her competitions FACES! The competition however (and Adrien JustAfriend Agreste) have decided that they really aren't going down without a fight!

🥀 beautiful words | lee felix penpal fic / smau

pairing: reader x felix | penpal mates(?) to lovers

genre: fluff, semi-angst, smau, penpal au

word count: 812 (text transcript included at the bottom for those who can't read the image font!)

warnings: college angst, burn out

synopsis: with a friend you've met through a penpal site, you didn't know that a deeper connection could be shared through such caring words.

networks: @ficscafe

a/n: didn't put the mastertag for this one because it's a bit different! just wanted to try this out 🙈.

TRANSCRIPT:

y/n,

i have been doing well, what about you? i'm still getting used to this penpal thing but i think it's very cool! it's been so nice talking to you and getting physical letters in the mail makes me feel excited every time i see it! thank you for giving me the chance to experience this, though i hope i get to see you in the future as well.

this may sound a bit bold but sometimes i think of being able to hear your voice through your writing, i'm sure you're as beautiful as the words that you send me through paper.

dear felix,

such a smooth talker, and as for me, sometimes i wonder whether you’d be just as bold in person, or scratch that, maybe even just in texts— but you know, we’re too cool to do that.

i’m doing well too! just been hanging out with my friend all throughout the semestral break. getting your mail has become the highlight of my weeks so you’re not alone in that regard! though we’ve been writing to each other for quite a while now, i’m surprised your penmanship still hasn’t improved jkjk.

y/n,

so is this friend a boy or…? just kidding. i’m happy to hear (or read hehe) that you also enjoy receiving my mail. i’ve also been hanging out with my friend, changbin, because he has a beach house— loaded, right? it’s bizarre how some people can be so rich. what’s even more bizarre is that i get to benefit from it as well just because we grew up together. i hope you’re enjoying your semester break with your maybe-or-maybe-not-guy friend!

i won’t lie, i’ve been stressing out in uni lately so this was a much needed break, talking to you helped a lot as well, i’m glad i found you when i did.

p.s. my handwriting is superior. it has personality.

dear felix,

is that jealousy i’m seeing? booooo! unfortunately for you, jisung is indeed a guy, but don’t worry (even though you don’t even have anything to worry about because you and i are not dating), but jisung is already taken— by literally every girl on campus. he’s quite the charmer as well (except for me). i’ve known him since before he went through his post high school glow up so i don’t there would be some sort of attraction here. also, he’s enjoying his college boy popularity so i don’t think he’d even commit some time soon.

also, i’m sad about your troubles, i’m here to listen if you need someone. it’s literally why we started doing this in the first place so rant away! i’m also glad to have met you.

y/n,

so is jisung more charming than me or…?? jkjk, but yeah. uni sucks. maybe it won’t suck if i’m able to pursue the thing that i actually like which is culinary arts, specifically pastry making. but nope, thanks to my parents, i have to pursue business. ughh, it makes me feel so burnt out.

but same goes for you, if there’s anything that’s troubling you, i’ll do anything to cheer you up.

also, about that dating thing, maybe i could do something to change that ;)

dear felix,

ahh, i guess my week won’t be complete if you don’t try to shoot your shot at least twice.

it’s unfortunate that you can’t pursue your passion, i remember the last time you sent brownies alongside the letter, it legit made my day. it tasted so good! i won’t pressure you to keep sending me sweets but i do miss them :((( but don’t worry, even if you’re stuck in business right now, i’m sure everything will work out.

counter-offer: graduate in business and start your own pastry cafe, i’d even be your first customer.

i’m fortunate enough to have freedom over my major but my friend, jisung, is in the same dilemma as you. he’s a music nut but unfortunately is stuck in pursuing nursing. i see his breakdowns from time to time (not the good rap kind) and it breaks my heart everytime. i can only imagine what you’re going through, i hope you have a good support system you can rely on but if not, i’m happy to be that person.

y/n,

i’m sad to hear about your friend as well, i can empathize very well. about that café hmmm, maybe i’ll do some compromise with my father about that it sounds like a plausible idea and i can’t believe i haven’t thought about that. even more of a reason that i adore you so much.

changbin is a great friend and listener as well, so i’m lucky to have him.

but i would love to be able to rely on you. is that your way of saying that you’d finally be willing to meet up with me?

[youn9racha]

can you do dilf tropes for skz? (each member has a dilf trope kinda thing) 🙏🏼

Ella’s Thoughts #14 (??) (requested)

hmm i’m not sure about that one, but i’ll give it a try. also i assume you mean it in a wholesome way, so i practically made it as them as dads 💀💀💀 i hope its not a problem.

Headcanons: Stray Kids as dilfs/dads

Chan

Unpopular opinion: i see chan being more of a stepdad dilf rather than a biological dilf (no i do not mean it like that, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER !!) he strikes me as the type to not want children but he would love to take care of them nonetheless. like a non-dilf dilf type of guy (like he is rn lmfao.) he does not by any means hates children, he would love to have kids with you if you both want to. he just feels having a kids is too much, and its enough that he serves as a father figure to not only seven boys, but also to some stays, i think he would better off taking care of the boys’ kids or your kids of a previous relationship rather than having actual ones.

BUT if he were to have kids, its not any different from the way he treats his members. i mean there‘s an obvious difference, but he would still be that goofy, caring yet slightly strict father who constantly looks after his kids, especially if his kid is a girl, but it wouldn’t be any different if his kid was a boy as well.

oh and he’s a silver fox dilf like i’ve mentioned in the past :)

Minho

I mean ain’t he technically a dilf (along with chan) ???? mans already has three cats, ain’t that enough ??? no jk, minho’s the type of dilf who’s very chill and nonchalant about the way he’s handling his child. Like he strikes me as the type of dad dilf who would ignore his child’s cry for attention, but obviously it would be a totally different story if his kid, lets say, gets injured, there he would be this comforting dad who would both tend his child’s wound and also try to make them smile by making goofy sounds and faces.

I can also see him enabling his child’s chaotic antics. as long as no one’s hurt or crying, he’s not stopping them.

all in all; Minho’s a 3 c’s dilf; chill, chaotic yet cherishing.

Changbin

Oh boy is this man’s a child. i think he’d be more like Minho, but has a little bit of Chan element to it. He has the tendency to be very childish and he allows himself to be kid-like with his kids, however he does happen to discipline his kid when his kid has done something wrong. He still however acts all goofy and he sometimes makes baby faces and noises to his kid in order to make them laugh when they’re younger, or endearingly embarrass them when they get older

He‘s definitely more freeing than Chan, but he’s less lenient than Minho when it comes to parenting, however he’s a baby dilf, so be it.

Hyunjin

Again, this man’s already a father of a dog, kami, so he’s a technically dilf as well. He’s the type of dilf who’s very stylish and attractive to anyone of all age demographics, and he knows it. He would also SPOIL THE SHIT out of his child. he may also match his child with his outfit. like if i’m wearing burberry, my child’s wearing burberry.

All in all, Hyunjin’s a stylish rich daddy >:)

Jisung

How can someone gives off teen dad vibes despite being in his twenties and does not even have a pet, let alone a child? for some reason, jisung gives off that vibes. Don’t get me wrong, he’d definitely be affectionate and caring, but you can’t tell me that this man isn’r the most unprepared and anxious dad ever. Like every new parent, he does feel scared to carry a baby, in fear of dropping it, but his child would be 18 years old and he’d still be anxious as fuck.

All in all, he’s a caring and kind dilf but this man is a nervous wreck, he’s a cause for disaster most time. But he is cute, so he can get a pass lmffaooo.

Felix

ngl i’ll probably cry writing this…. cry of laughter, because gOD IS HE MORE EMBARRASSING THAN JISUNG !!! idk whats my vendetta against felix, but on god i love this kid so much. YES KID, because you going take care of two kids rather than one, you’re a single parent, i’m sorry.

in all seriousness, he’s a child parent, and he often is seen silding down the slide with his child in his lap. He constantly makes that baby voice he makes at times. He’s also the perfect guy to read his kid a bed time story, and he would also have a bake day with his child as well <3333 nahh he’d be an adorable ass dilf no joke.

Seungmin

this man… he is a savage in itself, and you think his kid, the literally creature that came out of his testes, would get a special treatment? think again, because he would absolutely drag his child through the mud. i obviously don’t think this man would do anything to hurt his child, emotionally or physically. think of it as a father-child banter between them. bonus if his child happens to have the same personality as him.

he does get all intimidating when mad, which envokes fear onto anyone close to him, however i still do think he’d be a fine ass dilf…. he just needs to shut his smart ass up before i beat him and his child u—

Jeongin

He’s giving felix and jisung here as well. clueless, scared, and anxious. mans a baby, why the fuck would you give him a child? he’d hold the child with his eyes wide open and be like “…. wait thats mine?! help me!” in a panicking voice making him and the baby cry.

he would be the type of dad who would let his child off the hook most of the times. he gives off “my child isn’t wrong, you are” vibes highkey. He also is the type of dad who would yell at his child for not cheating at an online class. what i’m saying is he’s a weird dilf thats all im saying lmfao

oh you disagree ? THATS TOO BAD I DON’T CARE !!! //j

[dweetwise]

since i already did the killers, here’s the survivors reacting to their newest addition!

Yun-Jin & survivors headcanons

Dwight tries not to judge people too quickly, as his hands aren't exactly clean either. He doesn't really care what Yun-Jin did before, the problem is that she only looks after herself in trials. When his numerous attempts at friendly advice fall on deaf ears because she clearly doesn't regard him as a leader, Dwight kind of gives up on and hopes that she might come around one day.

Meg is instantly wary of Yun-Jin, her story not painting the producer in a good light at all. She’ll "accidentally” lead the killer to Yun-Jin in trials, doubly so if they're going against the Trickster, seeing it as fitting punishment for someone willing to turn to a blind eye to the atrocities the idol committed.

Claudette always tries to see the best in people, but after Yun-Jin leaves her to die on hook several times, the botanist realizes her trust in the other woman might be misplaced. Her own morals refuse to let her treat Yun-Jin different from the others, but it makes Claudette sad to know the producer most likely wouldn’t return the favor.

Jake is downright hostile, as the cutthroat nature of the business world was one of the main reasons he put his old life behind him. He's annoyed when some of the others try to force him to make friends with Yun-Jin just because they happened to be born in the same country.

Nea is both intrigued and cautious, fond of Yun-Jin's unapologetic attitude but not a fan of the way she essentially sold her soul to be a corporate pawn. She teaches the woman how to be a pain in the ass to any killer, but usually keeps her distance since Yun-Jin is clearly only looking after herself and Nea is not about to be caught in a bad spot without back-up.

Laurie is pissed. Upon hearing about the producer's connection to the Trickster, she goes off, accusing Yun-Jin of creating a murderer. Some of the others intervene—though don't necessarily disagree—but Laurie doesn’t budge on her stance.

Ace isn't blind to the parallels between his and Yun-Jin’s lives, having to play dirty in order to escape their less fortunate upbringings. He admires her extravagant fashion sense and always makes sure to compliment her outfits, happy to notice it makes her hold her head up higher after a rough trial.

Bill writes her off as a stuck-up rich kid that never had to face hardships, but is proven severely wrong when Yun-Jin shows to fare well even without the comfort of her penthouse. When he sees her making a fire and she mentions she had to learn how to keep warm when their heat was shut off, the contempt is gradually replaced by respect.

Feng is also somewhat of a lone wolf and doesn't care that Yun-Jin cares mostly about self-preservation. She'll tell the woman that they won't have any problems as long as she stays out of Feng’s way in trials. The two end up working well together, exchanging strategies on the best ways to split up and rush generators.

David isn't impressed by the producer’s appearance, thinking she's a spoiled brat that will throw a tantrum as soon as she chips a nail. Will tease her in trials, scoffing “Careful ya don't get blood on yer fancy jacket, princess”. She never takes the bait, instead opting to survive to the end and leave David to die on his first hook, giving him the finger from the safety of the exit gate. David sees it as a playful rivalry, though in reality the woman probably hates his guts.

Quentin is familiar with the guilt of creating a monster and instead of being angry at Yun-Jin, claims that this is her chance to make it right. He gets her to tell them everything she knows about the Trickster that might benefit them in trials. He's not that bothered by her refusal to work as a team, knowing it won't be long before she realizes she has to help others if she wants to survive.

Tapp has some very unfortunate flashbacks to his last case before he died, a psychopath and his accomplices making his life a living hell. And that's what he sees Yun-Jin as; an accomplice and enabler of the Trickster. He doesn't bother to hide his distrust, keeping a sharp eye on the woman as if expecting her to turn against them at any second.

Kate is initially put off by Yun-Jin's stuck-up attitude, having been forced to deal with her fair share of money-hungry producers. However, when they slowly get to know each other and the Korean mentions her own buried aspirations of being a musician, Kate recognizes their similarities; both of them just wanted to share their music with the world.

Adam attempts to make hesitant small talk about Seoul, trying to find common ground. However, when Yun-Jin only talks about Michelin-star restaurants and luxurious boutiques, Adam resigns himself to the fact that the woman has little interest in anything not revolving around money or music.

Jeff is a firm believer in live and let live and doesn't have anything against Yun-Jin despite the woman being his polar opposite in almost every way. He can tell the producer is surprised every time he strikes up casual conversation or offers to heal her in a trial, clearly not used to kindness from a stranger.

Jane is no stranger to being in the spotlight and doesn't approve of Yun-Jin's corrupt methods of navigating fame. She’s persistent in trying to get through to the producer, going out of her way to help the other in the hope that Yun-Jin will one day do the same.

Ash makes some good-natured jokes that Yun-Jin looks fancy compared to the rest of them. He doesn't care that some of the others think she's a bad person, he admires her gutsy attitude and doesn't treat her any different than others, one of the few who happily trade his life for hers in trials.

Nancy isn't as quick as most of the others to judge Yun-Jin. She's curious to know the whole story, and eventually understands why Yun-Jin made the decisions she did. They’re on neutral terms and occasionally exchange stories of their lives before, but Nancy swiftly learns that when they’re in a trial together, it’s every woman for herself.

Steve is a little starstruck, the K-pop producer’s extravagant appearance a far cry from the monotony of his small town. He can't help but try to impress her, doing stupid tricks in trials and pestering her about whether she thinks he would ever have a shot at stardom. As soon as he hears her artist name, he insists on addressing her as Magnum Opus, and even manages to get a smile for his efforts.

Yui doesn't give two shits about the woman’s questionable morals, instead thinking Yun-Jin is a badass for managing to do so well for herself against all odds. She's quick to welcome the producer to their group, and when questioned by the others, says that it would take a lot more than that for her to throw away the concept of sisterhood.

Zarina asks a lot of questions, curious about Yun-Jin's connection to the Trickster. It quickly becomes apparent that their morals clash horribly, and Zarina is appalled at the way the woman threw away integrity for corporate greed. She doesn’t trust Yun-Jins promises about making the killer pay, knowing people don’t change overnight.

Cheryl tries to give the benefit of the doubt, but as soon as Yun-Jin tries to boss her around in a trial, she withdraws into her shell. Cheryl has unresolved issues with women in power and isn't about to let Yun-Jin use her as a pawn in whatever game she's playing.

Felix can tell at first glance that he won't get along with the woman. Yun-Jin's gaudy outfits and arrogant attitude scream new money, reminding him of difficult clients he hated working with. He respects her drive for her job, but that's where their similarities end.

Élodie, having the freshest memory of what it's like to be the newest arrival in this terrifying realm, is the first to befriend Yun-Jin. Though they're from completely different worlds, both are mature enough to recognize the other's struggles, gradually forming a hesitant friendship.
