MiracOlympus- Kim

Make way for the king of the seas, because Kim has arrived! @imsparky2002 @artzychic27

Kim, God and King of the Oceans (aka Poseidon)

Appearance/Attire: Spiky Dark Brown hair with the tips bleached pale green by sea water, tanned skin with patches of blue-green scales, black eel tattoos all down arms (think Young Justice Aqualad), almond-shaped grey eyes with flecks of bright blue and green, gills on neck, bright blue fins on arms and legs, tall and muscular build. Gold three pronged crown encrusted with coral stones, blue-green exomis-style tunic, gold belt with seashell buckle, wide gold bands on wrists, black sandals. Always carries his huge bronze trident (when he hasn’t misplaced it).

Bio: Kim may have been born the middle child of his parents’ three sons, but you would be hard-pressed to overlook the boisterous god of the seas! With his endless supply of energy and booming voice, Kim’s presence is felt no matter where he goes! He has a bit of an ego, and loves challenging his fellow gods (especially Alix) for fun and is always down for any athletic activity, especially swimming. While usually a pretty friendly guy, Kim does have a ruthless side, with one of the more infamous tempers amongst the gods, known to unleash fearsome ocean storms when something displeases him, though it usually doesn’t take long for his beloved queen, Ondine, to calm him down and still the waves. Fiercely protective of both his younger brother Adrien and his older brother Nathaniel, as well as all the creatures of the sea, Kim is definitely a god whose bad side you don’t want to end up on! But for all his pride, he has a good sense of humor and can laugh at himself when needed. If only he could just stop losing his trident!

Fun Facts!

For all his confidence, Kim is actually extremely awkward when he likes someone! He was immediately smitten with Ondine the moment he saw her, but couldn’t work up the nerve to even speak to her for months! Finally, one of his closest friends, a clever dolphin named Xuppu, had enough of this and approached Ondine about the sea god’s crush on her. She ended up asking him out and the rest is history.

Would you believe that the creation of the horse was actually the result of a bet between friends? Kim, usually one to create sea creatures, couldn’t turn down the challenge issued by Max and Mylene that he couldn’t make a land animal that would be beneficial to mankind. It took him a few tries, the first results being the animals we now know as the giraffe and the camel, but eventually he got it right, and humans were introduced to horses. That’s why they’re sacred to the sea god.

As mentioned, Kim is very protective of his loved ones. So when a mortal queen named Cassiopeia dared to say that her own beauty surpassed that of all the Nereids of the ocean, he wasn’t about to let such an insult towards his queen (or her sisters) go unanswered, and the kingdom’s shoreline was plagued by a fearsome sea monster, Cetus, until the mortal queen apologized for her foolish words.

He’s the king of the wa-a-a-aves! Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

My Miraculous Rewrite Protagonists: The Power of 3 Main Trio (Cause Adrien and Marinette have disappointed me way too much)

Since I am too busy still finishing the drawing for my Hope Squad season 1 cover (yes, that thing still exists, lol), I don't have enough energy to draw the main trio right now for the Power of 3 [who are the reimagining of PV!Felix , PV!Marinette and Gorgeous Nathan from the Gym club], I used pircrew (https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/2583252) to create their designs (I am still unsure if I want Sophie to be a redhead or a brunette, so...)

(ALSO, THERE ARE NO UNNECESSARY IDENTITY SHENANIGANS, THEY KNOW THE TRUTH FROM THE START, AND MASTER FU AND LANCE'S GRANDFATHER TRAIN THEM ALL EQUALLY...)

Lance Sphinx (Based on PV!Felix)

Lance is the holder of the Axolotl wondrous hero. Based on PV!Felix, he is competitive and a bit cold. But, deep inside, he does care... he is just a bit tsudenre coded.

Unlike the other two heroes, Lance has been trained for this since he was a child... one more human conditions than the Order of the Guardians did, ofc.

He believes he can do it all alone, and doesn't need anyone else's help... that is why he is reluctant when the current miraculous guardian (Master Fu), and his grandfather (The Wondrous miraculous) insit on finding holders of the Ladybug and the Black Cat to help him out.

Although he is on neutral to aggressive terms with the rest of the school (bad experiences on his past school in New York), he cares deeply for his cousin Francis, and his friend Sophie.

Although he doesn't want to, he knows that, now that he is actively being a hero, he needs to open up and learn how to make friends and trust on people.

(yes, Emilie and Amelie have a triplet here).

As the hero Blue Gills, Lance doesn't change much. He is leading the team with his mind powers, and as the one who can purify the akumas (I want to keep the Ladybug and the Cat with the same level of power, so, some of the ladybug's abilities will be giving to the axolotl).

Francis Agreste (Based on Gorgeous Nathan from the Gym Club).

(The picrew doesn't make it clear, but, unlike Adrien and Felix, he has Dark Blonde hair, instead of the light one).

Francis over here is very energetic. In his day-to-day life, he is the sheltered son of the sucessful stylist Gabriel Agreste.

This Gabriel, however, isn't as bad a parent as Canon One is, and he actually had his reasons for keeping him home.

So, Francis never really modeled, and, for that reason, was allowed to grow his own sense of style... one that Gabriel finds exaggerated, but still supports it.

Francis was always a wild child who easily got excited. A bit of a nerd as well, he loved comic books, cartoons and animes.

He also uses braces (I forgot to add them) and loves a good sweater (a bit of Mabel and Dipper Pines inspirations).

This version of Chloe, instead of being enfatuated by him... can't stand him. These two have never been friends and they tend to bicker.

Francis can be childish, impulsive, and rebellious, but, is a very sweet cinnamon roll that has big dreams of being a cartoonist one day (friendly rivalry with Nathaniel and Marc perhaps).

Since it's his first year out of the house, however... he will have to learn how the real world works...

(See, unlike Adrien, he has a personality, it isn't that complicated!)

As the hero Feline Knight, Francis gets even more confident, and even a bit flirty.

But, he only has eyes on his crush, Sophie Dupain-Cheng... but she seems to busy with her own problems.

Sophie Dupain Cheng (Inspired by Bridgette)

Sophie's life has never been quite easy... she was the younger Twin to the Dupain-Family... and her sister Marinette had always been in the spotlight.

As they grew, Marinette showed to be specially good with sports, and her parents started to spoil her even more... which lead to poor Sophie feeling a bit left out.

Meanwhile, Sophie grew interested in the world of fashion, and used her art and designs to express herself.

The relationship between the sisters was... never great, tbh. Marinette constantly invaded Sophie's personal space and forced her to do whatever she wanted to...

Sophie's school life wasn't easy either, as she was the main target of the mayor's daughter.

She never really had friends, and doesn't speak much. Due to this past, however, she grew to be very cautions and empathetic.

She is the kind of person that never judges a book by the cover, and gives people as many chances possible... which usually backfires awfully (hint for Lila, perhaps? XD)

(Unlike Marinette, she doesn't actually spy on others or purposefully or accidentally sabotage others. Actually, on her group, she is the one who tries to keep the other two from crossing the line. Imagine like how Darwin needs to stop Gumball from time to time XD).

Now that Marinette left to study and compete abroad, and Lance and Francis are teaching her how to deal with Chloe, Sophie is determined to finally have a good year and pursue her dreams.

She is not interested in romance, however, due to being busy with her fashion designs, helping her family in the bakery... and her job as Lady Red.

As Lady Red, Sophie gets a bit more confident. Out of the group, she is the most creative one and tends to find unusual solutions to their problems.

(I inspired myself a bit on Dorothy, cause, Wicked has taken over my brain).

[princess-of-the-corner]

Ok here's who I imagine are Adrien's past cat holders. Changing up the Giles stuff because yikes + an au so we can change that.

Greaser. Basically a 50s stereotypical bad boy. First to show up and considers himself to be the best influence on Adrien(he isn't). Leader of an old biker gang simply known as the "black cats", and a shameless delinquent. At first Adrien doesn't wanna listen to him, but he soon caves. He helps convince Adrien to break the rules more often, not give in to peer/parental pressure, how to flirt(badly), and overall helps Adrien live more. Plagg likes him the second best (Don't tell him Adrien took his spot as Plagg's favorite).

Odysseus. Wife Guy and the second to make himself known. Extremely mad at Gabriel for how he treats his son. He wasn't able to see his son for 20+ years, and yet this man who lives in the same house refuses to actually be near his child. Here to teach stealth, weapon combat, and overall critical thinking. Probably the best influence on Adrien.

Knight. Torn on him being Gilles, fine with leaving it ambiguous for now for Joan's sake. A classic chivalrous knight who fought for justice, honor, and his ladybug's heart. Third to arrive and sees too much of himself in Adrien's pining over Ladybug. At first they think he's here to simply help Adrien be clear with emotions, let himself be heard, and live in the moment. Shown later because he is the closest parallel to Adrien out of every other black cat holder.

Spy. James Bond type of suave infiltrator. 4th and final holder to make Adrien's acquaintance. A bit full of himself but he was good at what he did. Here to teach Adrien the art of infiltration, how to actually flirt, and see through deception. He shows up around Lila's return and is the most suspicious of Gabriel being Hawkmoth. He's taken down many "good standing" rich men who were secretly evil to trust Gabriel.

beautiful.

My not so serious KP villain headcanons:

Personal headcanons that I have for the Kim Possible villains (not all of them). Long post.

Shego loves horror movies and podcasts and once scared the living hell out of Drakken after watching Ringu. She hid under the bed and once he almost drifted off to sleep, she reached from underneath to grab his hand and reveal her with hair covered face.

Shego hates cooking and rather orders take out than go through the effort of prepairing meals. The worst part is cleaning up dishes.

Shego can warm/radiate heat through her hands with her powers in a non-harmfull way. This comes in handy when massaging Dr D's stiff shoulders.

Shego's favourite chickflick is Legally Blonde. She showed it to Drakken once, he too, likes it. Now after every defeat they watch this movie while patching themselves up.

Dr Drakken loves British comedy such as Monty Python, the Mighty Boosh and Little Britain. He often quotes their jokes.

Dr Drakken has a complex bedtime skin care routine that he never skips and follows to a T. Though he only does it before bed, so if he stays awake for several days in a row, he won't do it until actually going to bed.

Dr Drakken actually plucks away stray hairs around his eyebrow to keep the look 'clean' and 'on fleek'.

Dr Drakken's shampoo smells of Lush' sugarplum fairy bodyspray.

Dr Drakken always sings the Mighty Boosh' 'Soup Song' when preparing soup. His secret ingredient to his vegetable soup with mini meatballs is tiny elbow macaroni.

Dr Drakken's 'take over the world by plants' scheme was stolen/inspired from Duff Killigan's failed attempt at turning the world into a golfcourse when the two were over at his place to discuss plans on the Tempes Simia idle and Monkey Fist was away to use the restroom.

Duff Killigan has one of those 'golf-on-your-toilet' golf sets in each restroom/bathroom.

Duff Killigan's favourite Disney movie is Brave, but more so because of the mother daughter bonding aspect of the story. He's a sucker for those kinds of movies.

Monkey Fist loves Shakespeare's works solely because of the infinite monkey theorem.

Monkey Fist has an incredible hatered towards the song "Banana Man" by Tally Hall and 'Day-O' by Harry Belafonte. It's an earworm that never leaves within a day and makes the monkey ninjas dance uncontrollably.

Monkey Fist takes extremely good care of personal hygiene and regularly cuts his nails.

Adrena Lynn's actual name is Adrien.

Adrena Lynn called out the Jackass cast for being fakes.

Adrena Lynn's favourite non extreme sport is table tennis.

Adrena Lynn started the 'girl dinner' tend.

Gill's favourite animals are sharks.

Gill bullied Ron because he wanted to look cooler in front of other camp kids. At his school, he would be the one being bullied.

Gill actually didn't dislike Ron at first but it changed when Ron grabbed an extra (and the last) chocolate pudding cup during dinner on their first day of camp.

Professor Dementor shines his helmet with a hand held waxing device, he never takes it off though.

Professor Dementor's favorite snack is caramel seasalt pretzels.

Professor Dementor wanted to become a children's book writer when growing up.

Dr Drakken, Monkey Fist and Duff Killigan play Dungeons&Dragons. Monkey Fist DMs most of the time, second is Drakken; Duff never DMs. The big bad evil guy is Kim Possible but they almost lose every campaign except for the rare occasion in which the BBEG dies due to accidental environmental circumstances out of their hands. They tried to replicate it irl but where do you find a giant dragon, three gnomes an enchanted blueberry pie and a catapult?

Motor Ed uses WD-40 for his hair instead of conditioner, seriously.

Motor Ed is a diehard Meatloaf fan (the artist, not the food).

Motor Ed despises Meatloaf (the food, not the artist).

Frugal Lucre loves pineapple pizza with extra ham

Frugle Lucre's arch enemy is Kim's cousin Larry.

Frugal Lucre collected cuddlebuddies but his mom threw them out because "you're too old for these toys, so I gave them away to your niece Pamela for her baby room" and that's his villain origin story.

Frugal Lucre has a Dr Drakken cosplay that he sometimes wears to (Hench co.) conventions (inspired by @gothicthundra 's Halloween chapter)

DNAmy's biggest inspiration for fashion is Velma Dinkley from the Scooby Doo franchise.

DNAmy hates Tom and Jerry because it promotes 'violence'.

DNAmy actually is pretty chill and wouldn't mind Kim Possible's company as long as Kim apologises for destroying her work. Kim is a fellow cuddlebuddy collector after all.

After Monkey Fist turned into stone, DNAmy tried reviving him. It didn't work out. She eventually moved on and started dating Frugal Lucre. They're in a happy committed relationship now.

The Bebe bots have their own reality show in Japan and are content with the attention and admiration from fans. They were offered a contact as idol group but they denied it because they didn't want to collaborate with Hatsune Miku.

Señior Senior Junior became a top model and worked with the fashionistas but when they got arrested again, SSJ used his privilege to continue his career.

With the help of Bonnie, Señior Senior Junior wrote an autobiography about his life under the influence of his father. It's titled "I didn't want to be a criminal, but Daddy made me do it." And it is said to become an autobiographical movie (but once again, Junior can't star in it).

Señior Senior Junior and Bonnie got married after Bonnie graduated from college.

Señior Senior Junior loves My little Pony friendship is magic and writes wholesome fanfiction. He likes PinkPie because she likes to party. He also realises that a lot of his youth is missed out on because of his father's wealth. He is semi thankful for villainy because it introduced him to Shego and their friendship. He tried making her watch it but she didn't seem into it.

Señior Senior Senior could actually give up villainy for his future grandchildren. This was Bonnie's initiative, because she doesn't want her kids to grow up around inmates and prisoners.

That's it for now, if I've got more I'll add it here!!

Simon: The Electric Hero, Techno Lord -Simon has elektrokinesis and the power of seven Tokyos combined from absorbing the energy from phones and computers -While this quirk is powerful, the only drawback is that he needs to release that energy so he doesn't suffer from a burnout -You'll know they're absorbing energy when lights begin to flicker on and off -A human taser, able to send waves of electricity to stun an opponent for a period of time based on how much electricity they send out -Quirk is best suited for Defense Heroism

Jean: The Broadway Hero, Drama Queen -This guy is a walking stage, able to pull people around him into a show-stopping musical number complete with music, costumes, and choreography that he has planned out all in his head from watching musical bootlegs -All of this is done by him singing a Broadway song that would be best suited for the battle, and it has this almost hypnotic effect -This allows him to apprehend his opponent without fighting (Unless there's a fight scene in the song) or causing any sort of damage -Once the song ends, everything goes back to normal, and Jean has apprehended his opponent -Their quirk is a little too Generalist to be labeled as On or Off field, but they are close to Defense

Reshma: The Diamond Hero, Gem Knight -Reshma is able to turn her arms into swords made out of diamonds -The diamonds are nearly-unbreakable, only able to be broken by Reshma or Denise -Reshma has been experimenting with different swords to turn her arms into, and even discovered that she could create a shield from her forearm, and produce diamond armor -Quirk is best suited for Defense

Ismael: The Teleporting Hero, Over There -Ismael can teleport to any part of the world as long as he knows what the particular area he's trying to teleport to looks like -This requires a good memory, but he can also use photos in case he hasn't been to certain places -Quirk is best suited for Recon and/or Rescue

Cosette: The Shapeshifting Hero, Unique -Cosette can shapeshift their entire or parts of their body, making them look like a completely different person or even an inorganic object -The only drawback is that full-on shapeshifting leaves them exhausted, so they require a lot of rest after taking on a number of forms -If she is only shifting parts of her body, then a ten minute rest is only needed -Quirk is best suited for Recon

Lacey: The Climbing Hero, Mountaineer -Lacey can climb or walk on any surface no matter how wet, slippery, or sticky thanks to a mutation in her hands and feet that allows her to adapt to any surface she climbs on -Wearing gloves or shoes hinders quirk usage, so gloves and shoes made from the skin cells on her hands and feet will allow her to be able to climb surfaces without the worry of stepping on a nail or pricking her finger -She isn't weighed down by anything she's carrying until she's back on the ground -Quirk is best suited for Rescue

Zoé: The Borrowing Hero, Quirk Master -Zoé's Quirk allows her to steal borrow quirks from people and then hand them back after she's done with them -She needs five-finger contact with the person whose quirk she's borrowing, and an understanding of how the quirk works -Her support gear includes a small tablet which allows her to scan a person and figure out their quirk so she can use it properly -Drawbacks are the same as the person whose quirk she's using -Quirk is Generalist

Theoretically Forever

[Adrien POV sequel to Hypothetically Ever After, childhood friends AU, adrienette, fake/pretend relationship]

Adrien Agreste has had a crush on Marinette Dupain-Cheng for as long as he can remember. Unfortunately for him, however, she’s only ever had eyes for his older brother Félix, who’s never so much as looked her way. But when an opportunity suddenly presents itself to turn the tables and rewrite the script on their relationship, Adrien finds himself hard-pressed to turn it down… Especially when it means getting to date the love of his life. Even if it is only fake.

AU where PV Felix is Adrien’s older brother. inspired by the novel “the boys next door” by jennifer echols. hello and welcome back to the brothers AU fic series that no one ever asked for yet i remain obsessed with.

read it here

chapter four

Adrien speared a stalk of asparagus, crunching on it angrily as he glared daggers across the table. 

That was about the extent of the rebellion he could allow himself, since his father was currently seated at the other end of the table, silently demolishing his egg white omelette with the same militant efficiency he did everything else. He would almost certainly be able to pick up on Adrien’s mood, and would no doubt dismiss his displeasure as a side-effect of being forced to spend one of his precious vacation days schmoozing with his father’s business associates and their families. 

Which, admittedly, was partially true. 

Nevertheless, that wasn’t the only thing that had Adrien chewing his breakfast like he had woken up with a personal vendetta against all stemmed vegetables.

No, the reason for his upset was currently seated across from him, looking wan as he pushed the healthy but ultimately flavourless meal around on his plate. 

Although he was as put together as always—as expected of the scion of the Agreste empire—Félix appeared distinctly green around the gills this morning, a side effect of his undoubtedly raging hangover.

Adrien’s eyes narrowed to slits, a grim sense of satisfaction filling him. 

Sure, it might have been slightly vindictive, perhaps even unkind to wish ill on his only brother, but after the performance Félix had put on last night, Adrien thought it only fitting that he be made to squirm a little. 

Aside from his drunken shenanigans—Adrien very deliberately tried not to think about his favourite pair of shoes, currently lying in their ignoble resting place at the bottom of the garbage bin—Félix had other, far more grievous offences to answer for. 

Namely, the look of pure devastation that had flashed across Marinette’s face last night when she’d finally clued into what was happening. 

Adrien couldn’t help but replay the moment in his head, recalling the bright flash of hurt he’d seen in her blue eyes in the instant before she’d been able to mask it. It felt as though it had been permanently etched into the walls of his memory.

It had been brutal to witness because Adrien hated seeing her in pain, and he especially hated it when it involved his dunderhead of a brother, who at every turn managed to throw Marinette’s love and devotion back in her face, whether he knew it or not. 

Marinette would willingly offer him her bloody and still beating heart if given the chance, and Félix simply didn’t give a damn. 

Not that Adrien actually wanted Félix to accept her offer. The thought alone was enough to leave him sick to his stomach. 

Still, it would have been nice if Félix could at least pretend to be grateful about it. Lord knew that Adrien would gladly offer up any of his limbs and even his firstborn child to be afforded the same opportunity. 

The whole situation was endlessly frustrating, and this frustration was what allowed Adrien to give in to his pettier desires that morning.

And so he sat back, and enjoyed watching his older brother attempt to conceal a massive hangover from their father’s hawk-like and all-knowing gaze. 

“Eat up, Félix,” Adrien said, shoving a large forkful of omelette into his mouth. “We’ve got a long day ahead of us...”

He smiled, making sure to showcase the mouthful of half-chewed egg he was sporting. 

The scolding he received for his improper table manners was well worth it, if only for the way the sight of the food between his teeth caused Félix to turn even greener. 

-x-

“Adri-kins!” Chloe squealed as he stepped into the grand foyer of the Bourgeois’s villa. 

He barely had one foot through the door before she was glomming onto his arm, behaving as though they’d been separated for years, rather than a matter of hours. 

To his brother, she delivered a perfunctory, “You look like shit,” accompanied by a steely once-over that would have felled a lesser individual where they stood.   

Félix merely grunted in reply, too exhausted from trying not to hurl during the car ride to muster anything more vitriolic. 

Rather than capitalising on her enemy’s momentary weakness, as she was normally wont to do, Chloe turned her attention away from his older brother, seemingly satisfied at having won this round in their neverending verbal sparring match. 

“Now,” she said, clapping her hands excitedly. “You must let me show you these new centrepieces that Mummy and I picked out!”

Without releasing her hold, she tugged Adrien forward, forgoing the greeting line entirely as she led him further into the house. He had just enough time to nod in her father and mother’s direction before he was being ushered into the elegant dining room and plunked into his seat.  

A seat that was conveniently located right next to hers. 

As Chloe continued nattering on beside him, Adrien sighed under his breath, resigning himself to his role as captivated audience member—a role it appeared he would be playing for the duration of their evening. 

This… is going to be a very, very long day, he mused, already counting down the hours in his head.  

-x- 

Before heading to dinner at the Bourgeois’s, Adrien and his brother had been hauled about town, carted to various lunches and meetings that Adrien had so little interest in he had almost mastered the ability to fall asleep with his eyes open by the end of the last one. 

He made sure to nod and smile and politely answer any questions that were directed his way—of which there were few, seeing how his main role at these meetings was always to sit still and look pretty—all while silently wishing for a swift and merciful end to his suffering. 

By the time they’d made it to the Bourgeois's house, Adrien was exhausted. He couldn’t even begin to imagine how Félix was feeling. It was a miracle he was still upright.

Yet, as luck would have it, Adrien’s day from hell wasn’t entirely without its silver lining. 

His solace was delivered in the form of one Marinette Dupain-Cheng, which really shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone. 

Although she wasn’t able to alleviate his boredom with her physical presence, she’d provided him with the next best thing in the form of the text conversation they had been steadily maintaining all day. 

While they would occasionally message back and forth for extended periods of time, they’d never kept a consistent conversation going for quite this long before. Marinette tended to be a horrible texter, often replying hours or sometimes even days later because she either couldn’t find her phone, or she simply forgot. It was something that Adrien had learned not to take personally, cataloguing it as one of the many quirks that made up her endearingly chaotic personality. 

But not today apparently. Today it seemed like Marinette was as glued to her phone as he was, her messages flying in within moments of his replies being sent. Adrien had almost been caught texting under the table several times already, but he couldn’t bring himself to care, so engrossed was he in their conversation. He’d even caught himself grinning like a fool after receiving a particularly hilarious response, which had garnered him a few strange looks from both his brother and Chloe, who were seated beside him at the Bourgeois’s long dining room table. 

Luckily he wasn’t in his father’s line of sight, so the chances of him getting into any real trouble were limited. But still, Adrien knew that he should exercise a bit more caution. The last thing he wanted was for his father to confiscate his phone. Then he wouldn’t be able to message Marinette at all. 

With that in mind, Adrien shoved his phone deep into his pants pocket. Then he grabbed his water glass, downing it in one fell swoop. 

If he drank enough water, then perhaps his frequent trips to the bathroom over the course of the evening wouldn’t look quite so suspicious. Hopefully. 

-x-

Halfway through the second course, Adrien felt his phone buzz against his hip. Unable to ignore its siren song for very long, he slipped it into the palm of his hand when no one was looking. 

His face broke into a grin at the message on the screen. 

[16:45] Marinette Dupain-Cheng:                                         hey can we hang out tomorrow? i have an idea i want to run by you

Adrien brought his napkin to his mouth, pretending to dab the corners of his lips as he tried to wipe the giddy smile off his face. 

He nodded along with whatever the person seated across from him was saying, pretending to pay attention as he quickly typed out a reply and hit send. 

[17:28] Adrien Agreste:                                                                               sure thing!  what time works for you?

Now he had even more of a reason to look forward to this day being over. 

-x- 

In hindsight, Adrien really should have realised what she was up to long before Marinette managed to corner him. 

After all, he was normally pretty good at sussing out her schemes—the benefit of an entire childhood’s worth of experience in dealing with her machinations. This inherent paranoia had served him well on multiple occasions over the years.  

It had saved him from The Great Treehouse debacle, along with a lifetime of GI issues that her brief foray into baking could have caused. Not to mention preventing him from meeting his watery end on the sad excuse for a jet ski her father was continually ‘fixing’. 

Up until now, he’d had the utmost confidence in his sense of self-preservation. 

And yet, these fabled, well-honed instincts had evaporated when he needed them most; abandoning him in the face of Marinette’s pretty, pretty blue eyes, and her sweet-talking mouth. 

Which was how Adrien found himself in his current predicament, hedged in by water on three sides, staring down the barrel of Marinette Dupain-Cheng’s completely unhinged proposition, and reconciling with how well and truly screwed he was. 

“Let me get this straight,” he stared at their clasped hands, willing himself not to hold on too tightly. It wouldn’t do for Marinette to discover just how desperately he needed a lifeline to navigate the treacherous waters of this conversation. 

He tried to focus on the way her fingers tapered elegantly at the ends, rather than the sheer, overwhelming terror trying to claw its way out of his chest. 

“You’re suggesting that I have a fling.” Finally mustering the courage to meet her eyes, Adrien had to summon every ounce of composure he possessed to keep from choking on his next words. 

“With you.” 

Marinette leaned back slightly, her expression mildly affronted. 

“Yes with me,” she said, sounding increasingly annoyed. “What’s wrong, am I not good enough to pretend to date you? Do you think people won’t buy that we could possibly have romantic feelings for one another?” 

Adrien clenched his jaw and looked away, unwilling to let her see just how deep of a blow she’d landed with those words. He had to remind himself that Marinette wasn’t deliberately setting out to hurt him with this proposition. She had no idea how he felt, otherwise she would have known that what she was proposing was the single most agonising scenario imaginable. 

Still, Adrien couldn’t bring himself to dismiss the idea outright, despite the fact that both his head and his heart were screaming at him to run for the hills and not look back. 

“That’s… not it.” He said at last, rubbing the back of his neck with the hand that wasn’t currently entwined with hers. “I just really don’t think this is a good idea. How can you even be sure this will work?” 

“I’m not,” Marinette answered honestly, her desperation plain. “But I have to try something. I can���t let this summer end and still be left wondering what if. This is it... This is my last chance, and I need your help.”

She clenched his hand unconsciously as she spoke, her slim digits slotting themselves more firmly into the groves between his fingers, as though the spaces there had been carved just for her. 

And just like that, Adrien felt the last of his resistance crumble away, reduced to dust in the face of her earnest plea. 

Perhaps sensing his brief moment of weakness, Marinette pressed on, her words tumbling forth in a rush. 

“Besides, what do we really have to lose?” She added with a laugh, her countenance brightening now that she had apparently convinced him to go along with her plans. 

“If anything, this will help us both in the long run. It’ll show Félix that I am girlfriend material, and it will help you get your groove back. And you know what they say—” Here she winked, levelling him with an enthusiastic and completely unironic snap and finger gun combo. “—the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.” 

Adrien gaped at her in disbelief. 

……..did she really just say that? 

Marinette stared back at him, apparently rendered mute.

OH MY GOD SHE REALLY JUST SAID THAT. 

For a moment, Adrien genuinely wasn’t certain who was more mortified out of the two of them. Marinette, for having said such a corny and overtly suggestive line, or him for having had to bear witness to it. 

In the end, he decided that they could comfortably call it a tie, based on the bright red flush that had overtaken Marinette’s features, and the unbearable heat he felt prickling his own skin.

She began babbling, undoubtedly deeply invested in recovering some semblance of her dignity, but Adrien found himself unable to tune back into her words, too preoccupied with contemplating all of the possibilities her statement had managed to dredge up in his brain. And the corresponding mental images. 

Marinette pressed underneath him, her body warm and soft and pliant—

His face grew even warmer. 

“ANYWAY—” Marinette cut in loudly, successfully breaking him out of his brain fog. Adrien sent up a quick prayer that the lecherous direction his thoughts had taken hadn’t been too obvious. 

“—I don’t see how anything could go too terribly awry. We’d both be going into this with our eyes open and our cards on the table. It’s not like we’re hiding anything.” 

Adrien's eyes widened, panic setting in as a new thought occurred. 

There’s no way she knows, right? 

Marinette leaned closer and his breathing picked up. 

If she only knew how much he was really hiding, there was no way she’d be able to gaze into his eyes with such warmth and openness. 

“Please, Adrien. I can’t imagine doing this with anyone else. I don’t want to do this with anyone else.” She admitted, her voice wavering ever so slightly. “You’re the only person I can trust to help me with this. Please.”

She squeezed his hand, imploring him with her eyes. 

And, just like the Roman Empire in 476 AD, Adrien could do nothing but fall. 

I can’t believe I’m seriously considering doing this, he thought, torn between wanting to laugh and cry in equal measure. This is a horrible idea. This is the most horrible idea in the HISTORY of horrible ideas. 

“So, just so we’re clear here: you want to hook up with me in order to make my brother jealous, which will allegedly also come with the additional benefit of signalling to everyone that I’m over my ex and ready to date someone else?” He asked, hoping that by listing it in explicit terms, she might come to her senses and realise how insane the proposition was on its face.

Marinette merely nodded, her expression resolute. 

Okay, he swallowed, very deliberately ignoring his mounting hysteria. So I guess we’re doing this. 

-x-

Later that night, Adrien flopped down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling as he replayed the events of the last few days over in his mind. 

After the fiasco that wound up being Friday’s party, he’d known that Marinette might resort to drastic measures. She was single-mindedly focused in her pursuit of his brother, after all, regardless of the fact that this often wound up being to the detriment of both herself and any and all people that happened to be around her. 

Still, this plan was… A lot. Even by Marinette’s usual standards. She must have been truly desperate to resort to this level of skullduggery. 

His mind flashed with the image of her face crumpling when she’d seen Félix with Bridgette. As much as it stung to consider how deeply her feelings for his brother ran, it had been equally agonising just witnessing her distress. She was hurting, and if there was anything that Adrien hated in the world, it was seeing Marinette get hurt. 

Perhaps that was why he’d been so quick to agree to help her, despite knowing on every level that this plan of hers was a capital B Bad Idea. 

That’s not the only reason, and you know it. A small voice pointed out, and Adrien rolled over, trying in vain to smother it. 

Okay, so maybe his motives weren’t entirely altruistic for agreeing to date her. But was it so wrong of him to leap at the chance to date the girl of his dreams? 

The voice remained silent and Adrien huffed, dissatisfied. 

Although he might not want to, Adrien could certainly acknowledge that the potential for catastrophe with this plan was astronomical. If he was going to agree to go into this, then he would have to make sure to stay one step ahead of Marinette at all times, lest any of his secrets come to light before he was ready to reveal them. 

Like the fact that he was hopelessly in love with her, and he’d even gone so far as to date another girl in a vain attempt to both get over her and make her jealous. 

“This is so messy…” Adrien groaned into his pillow, fisting his hands in the back of his hair. After the catastrophic failure that was his relationship with Kagami, Adrien had never felt less confident in his ability to woo a woman. And now he was being presented with the golden opportunity he’d been waiting for—the chance to get to date Marinette and make her realise how perfect the two of them would be together. 

It was both exhilarating and terrifying. High risk, high reward. 

And oh, the rewards there were to be had. 

Adrien’s mind went back to the kiss he and Marinette had shared earlier on the dock, the magic of the moment still lingering as he recalled the way they stood suspended in the sunbeams.

He’d been surprised that Marinette had gone along with his seemingly flimsy excuse of them just figuring out their feelings for one another were reciprocated. As far as cover stories went, it certainly wasn’t his best, and Adrien had been convinced that Marinette would see right through him immediately. Hell, he’d half expected her to toss him into the water the moment he’d reversed their positions, and pressed her up against the wooden rail of the gazebo. 

Yet, she hadn’t. 

Instead, Marinette had gazed up at him wide-eyed, her face slackening with surprise, and if he wasn’t mistaken, the tiniest hint of intrigue as well. 

Adrien had waited with bated breath, giving her plenty of opportunity to back out, even as his heart pounded out a frantic rhythm in his chest, screaming at him to lean forward and do what he’d been dreaming of for the better part of his life. 

Up until the moment their lips finally touched, he’d been waiting for something, anything to happen that might indicate that what he was experiencing had only been a dream after all. 

Because there was no way that he was standing hand in hand with Marinette Dupain-Cheng, kissing her for the very first time. 

He hadn’t been able to bring himself to bridge any more of the gap between them, leaving their only points of contact their joined hands and their lips, softly brushing. 

If he allowed himself to give in to his desire to melt into her and crush her body to his, Adrien feared that he might never be able to uncross that line and go back to the way things were. That he would forever leave some part of himself inextricably linked to her, deeply embedded in whatever material their souls were made of, the same way she was sewn into his. 

As it was, Adrien already knew that a cosmic shift had taken place at the core of his being, and that every moment after that point would be defined by the fact that he now knew the taste of her lips, and the sound of the soft huff she let out through her nose when he leaned into her ever so slightly. 

Adrien squeezed the pillow tighter, feeling his face grow warm at the memory. 

So maybe this whole situation isn’t entirely without its benefits… 

If they were to fake-date, there would be plenty of opportunities for all of the things that he’d always dreamed of doing with Marinette, like holding hands, and going on dates. 

He rubbed a hand over his mouth, his lips still tingling. 

And more kissing. There could be plenty of that too. 

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, after all. Maybe, if he played his cards right, he could somehow manage to make the most of this unexpected arrangement and find a way to turn it around in his favour. He’d basically made a career of hiding his true intentions up until this point, so how hard could this be? 

All he had to do was make Marinette fall out of love with his brother, and into love with him, all within the span of two weeks. 

And without revealing the nature of his own subversively devious plans. 

“I am screwed,” Adrien breathed, his words catching on a hysterical laugh. “I am royally and unequivocally screwed.”

[fragileizywriting]

hi this won't make sense bc no one is in my head (thank god) and no one's been climbing through the trenches (the dl month prompt) of mediocre porn written during a rut (not the good kind) where i think all of my writing is lacking sustenance (we're getting through it) but could you imagine with me luka waking up so unbelievably hard.

he has to take a shower and put it to freezing because his blood feels like its boiling, thundering in his ears— his teeth are aching, begging to sink into flesh and bone and crunch— even firm, gentle touches to the base of his cock don't even help. i want this man sopping wet, absolutely drenched, with long hair plastered to his chest and those weird fish-gill muscles that strong superheros get in the comics, the one on the ribs— obliques, they're called. cool. i want his hair long and sopping and on his skin like the world's most beautiful mermaid. so colorful. black and blue and wow. i want his tattoos to look shimmery from all the water. i want this man hard. i want him HARD

i want him to steam in that boiling, unchecked arousal for hours, just simmering as he tries to wake up and exist, to not be a dick (ha) to his loved ones and wake one up to take care of it, but adrien wakes up early, an absolutely devastating idea, because luka begs him for reprieve by snarling into his mouth and biting him on the collarbone and getting adrien on his knees and taking cock in his mouth like a MAN. i want luka to punch out that adrien was made for this, made for kneeling and taking it like he's supposed to, because his throat is shaped for luka's dick and his gag reflex is gone because he's learned from the best (marinette's trained him soooo good) and , and, and and and and

i want adrien to choke out a groan of relief and dig into luka's thigh with his fingers when the angel finally comes in his mouth.

merry christmas

Scarlet Lady: Intermission

Directory | Dark Cupid

It was finally Friday, and also finally the end of classes. And the girls were going to take advantage of it!

Granted, they were planning to study for their exams, but it was also a chance to have fun together.

“It was really nice of you to invite Chloé to our study sleepover, Marinette!” Rose cheered, smiling, while Marinette gave a more strained smile.

“Yeah, well... it was nicer of her to rip up the invitation,” she replied, remembering Mme. Bustier's face when Chloé made her choice.

“But did you have to invite Lila?” Alya complained.

“Alya, Lila is five times cooler than Chloé,” Marinette said, knowing that her friend still had a bone to pick with the Italian. “And I can't exclude people.”

“Yeah, Alya.”

Yeah, she was going to have her hands full with these two.

----

Meanwhile, the boys gathered together at Kim's suggestion.

“If the girls are gonna hang out, we should too!” he suggested, and everyone else let out a “YEAH!” in response.

“What should we do?” Nino asked.

“Movie? Museum? Arcade?” Ivan offered and Adrien lit up with the last one.

“Wow, I've never been to an arcade before!” he commented.

“Alright, arcade it is!” Nino said, and Adrien put his arms around Nino's and Nathaniel's shoulders.

“YEAH!”

“Let's win Adrien all the Marigold merch!” Kim said, and Adrien was shocked out of his enthusiasm.

“YEAH!” the others yelled.

“Wait, no!” he tried to interrupt.

Yeah, he had forgot to mention that little tidbit the other week...

----

School had finally let out, and Ondine and Kagami were making their way home: since the latter's house was on the way to the former's, they had made it a habit to walk together.

“It's too bad we couldn't go to Marinette's sleepover,” Ondine commented as they passed by an arcade. “Practice is really ramping up.”

“Yes. It's unfortunate, but my mother must remain ignorant of my friendships. Excluding Adrien,” Kagami replied, which was yet another thing Ondine thought was quite messed up with Kagami's mother. She chose not to comment on it, though.

“Almost, almost!”

“Aw, you dropped it!”

She recognized that voice, and turned to see that it was indeed her boyfriend.

“Kim?”

“Wuh-hey! It's Ondine!” Kim cheered up.

“Ondine!” Max said. It was clear Kim had come out with his friends, and since she was with Kagami... perhaps it was time to help her friend meet more people?

“Hey guys! Come meet Kagami!”

“Right now?!” Kagami asked, shocked. Oh, right, she was kinda bad at this. Well, as her best friend, it was her mission to help Kagami come a bit out of her shell!

----

“Hey, Kagami!” Adrien said as he arrived, and Kagami quickly clinged to him.

“Hello, Adrien.”

“You guys know each other?” Ivan asked.

“Yeah! We have fencing together!”

Kim gave Adrien a knowing look.

“So you know each other, or you know each other?”

“Huh?” Kagami said, confused. Adrien realized what was the meaning and waved his friend off.

“Oh, no, we're just friends!”

Kagami tugged on Adrien's sleeve.

“I thought we were good friends!” she said, and Adrien took her hands in his.

“You're absolutely right, I'm so sorry.”

Nino watched with bemusement.

“You guys are definitely giving the wrong impression,” he said, bringing the two Marigold dolls he had got out of the claw machine. “Here you go, dude!”

“Thanks, but you don't have to,” Adrien said, while Kagami kept her eyes on the dolls that resembled her favorite hero so much. “I don't have a crush on Marigold.”

“Whaaat?” Nino said, surprised – so much that he didn't notice Kagami stealthily picking one of the dolls. “I'm so lost, who do you like? You wrote that poem for someone.”

“It's Marinette, right?” Ivan suggested.

“Marinette for sure!” Ondine said.

“It's obviously Marinette,” Kagami added.

“WHAT?!” Kim shouted, and Adrien turned to see him, Nathaniel, and Max loaded up to the gills with the stuff they had won. “So you don't want this stuff?!”

“Oh my Lord,” Adrien said, shocked.

Even with Kagami taking one or two things, Adrien had found his arms full of Marigold merchandise, so much that he found himself unable to open the car's passenger door. Thank goodness Nino was there, even if he was still embarrassed.

“Dude, I can't believe how wrong I was!” he apologized. “I'll step up my game, promise!”

“No worries, Nino! See you tomorrow!”

----

As Adrien got into the car, he noticed that he had his arms full of merchandise from the heroine, Marigold. It looked like he was unable to fasten his own seatbelt, so he waited until he could put everything in a secure place and fasten his seatbelt – Mr. Agreste was always very clear that, save for emergencies, Adrien had to be secured before the car even started – which was hard because Adrien didn't even know how to put things without covering the car's floor.

Then Adrien looked at him and waved one of the objects, and he nodded. Carefully grabbing the statuette of Marigold wielding her weapon, he smiled.

This was going to go into his collection.

----

“Sir, Adrien is on route home,” Nathalie said, picking one of the grapes from the dish in front of her.

“Thank you, Nathalie.”

“It was kind of you to allow him to go, Master,” Nooroo complimented, taking advantage of the fact that, for once, Gabriel did not seem to be ready to akumatize someone else.

“Bah. Who knows what my son would do to retaliate if I denied him,” Gabriel complained. “He might wear crocs.”

“Adrien's rebelliousness has been increasing since he started school,” Nathalie noted, although the memory of him cursing at her before his first day at Françoise Dupont was still fresh in her mind. She ate the grape, savoring the mix of sweet and sour.

“True,” Gabriel admitted, “but the alternative is having him wander the house and discover our plans.”

“I'm home!”

Quickly, Nooroo hid away to avoid being seen by Adrien, and Gabriel and Nathalie looked towards the lobby... where they found Adrien walking in.

Wearing Marigold antenna.

And with an armful of miscellaneous Marigold merchandise.

“My friends scored!” Adrien happily said, unaware of how uncomfortable the two adults were feeling. “You want any of this?!”

Gabriel chose to reject the offer, but she decided to pick the spinning top: it was the most inoffensive of all the objects in the pile, and she felt a bit of comradeship with the younger girl, even if they were in opposite sides of the fighting.

“My son, a Marigold fan,” Gabriel lamented, covering his face.

“It's only natural, sir. She is a hero, after all,” Nathalie replied, testing the toy. “Look at it this way: at least, he's admiring the smart Marigold and not the incompetent leader, Scarlet Lady.”

Gabriel struck the table in an uncharacteristic fit of anger.

“Scarlet Lady is not incompetent! She's the slipperiest of the whole group!”

“Ah, of course, Sir,” she replied, trying to mollify him... even though she knew very well the real reason why he said that.

Because if she was an idiot, you'd be the guy losing to that idiot.

----

Chez Marinette, the hour was getting late, and it was clear that they had worked hard – and their minds were exhausted. Marinette palmed the table and stood up.

“Studying, done! Let's party!”

“YAAAAY!” the girls said in unison.

“I gotta charge my phone, go ahead and get into PJs!”

While the girls took turns to change their clothes, Marinette ran upstairs: she did need to charge her phone, but she mostly wanted to check on the one being that lived in her room, hidden in a part of her wardrobe.

Her phone was now charging – but also prepared to cue some videos. The spicy chips bag was opened just enough to allow Pollen to access its contents without risking an accident. And the bed was just perfect for her.

“Do you need anything else, Pollen?” she asked the kwami, who smiled at her.

“This is more than enough, my Queen! Thank you for such hospitality!”

Marinette picked Pollen up and gave her a sweet kiss in the head, causing the kwami to blush slightly.

“I just want to make sure you're taken care of. Let me know if you need anything!” she said, helping Pollen into the bed. “See you for patrol later!”

As the first video of the list began, Pollen pondered something.

Am I the Queen?

----

Now dressed in their pajamas, the group had sodas and popcorn ready while waiting for their pizzas to arrive, and Alya leaned down towards Alix.

“Hey, Alix, why do you hang with Lila and Sabrina?”

Alix turned to her classmate with a quizzical expression.

“Huh?!”

“I mean, aren't they a bit girly for you?”

Alix admitted it might look like that, but she wouldn't let that pass.

“Sure, they go shopping and dress up with each other,” she said, looking as Lila laughed at an imitation Sabrina was making, “but they're fun. I like talking to them. Isn't that enough?”

She pulled her phone and opened the photo folder.

“Besides, they're sportier than they look,” Alix finished, opening the photo from the last roller derby game, and Alya felt her jaw drop.

“WOW.”

It certainly deserved the shocked expression: Sabrina's look of utter wrath as she threw another skater into the ground, while Lila cheered in the background with a maniacal face, was something she had never expected from her 'girlier' classmates.

“Yeah,” Alix sagely nodded, “they got a lot of rage to work out.”

---

Meanwhile, Juleka had offered to do make up for all the others, which they gleefully accepted: Juleka could make wonders with the most basic of supplies, and she had brought a very diverse set of makeup tools to the pajama party.

Of course, that gave everyone free range to speak of personal matters, and for Mylène – who was currently in Juleka's capable hands – there was a matter she was really curious about.

“I never got to hear how you two got together,” she said, nodding at Juleka and Rose, who was acting as Juleka's 'assistant'. Rose giggled.

“You could say it took a while for us to get on the same page!”

“Huh?”

----

“Wanna get ice cream?” Rose asked.

Does she mean as a friend? Juleka thought, blushing.

----

“Will you go to the movie with me?” Rose asked, blushing.

As a friend, right? Juleka thought, uncertain.

----

“I love you, Juleka,” Rose said, kissing her for the first time.

As a friend?! Juleka thought, her face burning from the clash of thoughts. And because Rose's lips felt really nice against hers.

----

Juleka tried to push back those embarrassing moments to the back of her head, and turned to do her wonders on the party host.

“Is there someone you like, Marinette?” she asked, and Marinette smiled.

“There is, but... I don't think I should go for it.”

“Why not?!” Rose cried out: she was a sucker for romance stories, and seeing her friend lose hope in her own romance was something she disliked.

“He's a very busy guy with an erratic schedule, and I've been getting busier myself,” Marinette explained. “It's just not fair to either of us. I'm doing what I can to support him.”

Juleka pulled a spray and aimed at Marinette, who closed her eyes.

“Well, don't forget you have other options,” she said, pressing it.

“'Other options'?” Marinette asked, just as the doorbell rang. Shaking her face off, she rushed to the door.

“Pizza for you!” the delivery boy said, and she smiled when she saw who it was.

“Luka!”

Marinette picked up the boxes – feeling her face getting as warm as the pizzas – and invited Luka inside while she got the cash.

“Hey, Jules,” Luka said, greeting his little sister.

“Guys, this is my brother, Luka,” Juleka presented him.

“Hey, Luka,” Lila intervened, entranced. “Are you Juleka's older or younger brother.”

“Older,” Luka said, smirking.

“How much older?” Lila insisted.

“Older.”

Lila pouted at being denied such critical information about the cute boy in front of her, but her interrogation was interrupted when Marinette returned with the money.

“Here, Luka,” she said, adding a tip for the boy's work. Luka smiled at her.

“Thanks. You look really pretty, Marinette,” he said in an appreciative tone, making her blush even harder.

“T-Thanks!”

The moment was interrupted when Juleka grabbed a cushion.

“Okay, time for dumb boys to get out,” she declared, slamming the cushion on Luka's face.

“AH!” Luka complained, causing Alix to laugh as he tried to regain his dignity and left. The girls picked up everything they'd need for dinner and placed it around the table.

That was when Sabrina found a box full of toys and dolls.

“Huh? Marinette, what's all this stuff?” she asked, curious, and Marinette turned to her friend.

“Oh, that,” she said, picking the Marigold doll she had crafted a couple of weeks before. “It's for when I babysit! I had to make my own because they used to not make any. Scarlet Lady only worked with expensive brands, you know.”

The girls approached the box and checked Marinette's creations: they were all hand-crafted and very well detailed representations of most of the heroes and Akumas that had shown up since past September, and even if they were a bit of a bad memory for some of them, they thought they were cute, and began to pick one or two.

Meanwhile, Alya scratched the back of her head: Marinette's comment about Scarlet Lady had shaken her a bit.

“Uh. Well, she has an important job! She deserves royalties, right?” she suggested.

“Ha!” Lila laughed. “Royalties for what, sitting on her butt while being a glory hound?””

Alya's eye twitched.

Teams had formed.

On Team 'Scarlet Lady' stood Alya (with Small WiFi), Mylène (with Pebbleheart) and Rose (with Mini-Reflekta).

“Why, you–!” Alya said, her hand itching to close around Lila's neck for a moment. “She's a hero! Everyone knows she's the best!”

On Team 'Heroes' were Juleka (with Xiaomaotif) and Sabrina (with Rogersmall and Vanishrinker)

“I don't really care,” Juleka said.

“Yeah, all the heroes work hard, right?” Sabrina asked.

Alya turned to the last team, formed by Lila (with Volpiccona), Alix (with Timecracker) and Marinette.

“Well?”

“She's the worst,” Marinette declared, thus giving name to Team 'Worst', while Lila stuck her tongue and Alix laughed.

“Marinette!” Alya shouted, and tackled her friend to pull her cheeks.

Ignoring the roughhousing, Sabrina checked over the doll of her own Akuma, remembering how she had become Vanisher.

“Y'know, Chloé is probably Scarlet Lady's biggest fan, but I never understood why. She'd even say they're best friends even though I never saw them together,” she said, shaking her head. “But maybe that's why she started blowing me off.”

“Hm,” Lila mumbled, picking Volpiccona. “Don't forget, Scarlet Lady's never humiliated Chloé like she did me. Maybe she's telling the truth.”

“Hmmm...” Lila's words were correct. Perhaps Chloé and Scarlet Lady were, somehow, friends?

“YEAH, RIGHT!” Alix exclaimed, and all the girls began to laugh at how absurd the idea was.

“As if Chloé could stop herself from posting pics all over the place!” Lila mocked the rich girl.

“More like Chloé thinks they're BFFs!” Alya cracked up.

----

The girls had gone to sleep in a good mood, and were now laying around, in different states of sleep, but all likely to remain so for the rest of the night.

All... but one of them.

As soon as she was certain the others would not wake up, Marinette carefully stood, tiptoed around the insensate bodies of her friends (particularly to avoid Juleka and Rose, who looked very cute together) and walked up to her room, where she carefully woke up her kwami.

“Ready, Pollen?” she asked, and the kwami smiled up to her.

“Mhm!”

“Buzz On.”

Opening the window as silently as possible, Marigold jumped out of her room and into the roofs of Paris, keeping an eye on potential trouble like thieves: Paris being what it was, it was not uncommon for problems such as those to appear.

However, it looked like tonight would be a calm night, as she made her way towards her accorded meeting point – where her Chat Noir was already waiting for her.

“Hey, Minou,” she greeted, landing next to her partner, who smiled at her.

“Hey, Goldie!” he greeted back as she sat next to him. “Thanks for taking on patrols, Marigold. Scar wouldn't even consider it.”

“No problem,” Marigold replied.

“Seriously, ever since you showed up, it's like I can finally relax. Even my civilian life doesn't feel like I'm drowning anymore!”

Marigold blushed slightly, looking aside with a pleased smile. This was the kind of vindication she had wanted to hear, and it felt so sweet.

“M-Merci,” she thanked with a minimum of stumbling.

“Oh!” Chat Noir exclaimed, pulling a hairband with antennas from behind him and offering it to her. “By the way, your popularity is on the rise! For you.”

“For real?” Marigold said, softly laughing. “Should I look for matching ears?!”

But, still, she put the hairband on. It was a present from Chat Noir, and she liked what it represented.

And after that, they kept talking. She didn't know why, but... she always felt so at ease when talking with him! It was so wonderful, not just because of what they had in common, but also because he was so nice.

But all good things had to end, and she brought up a particularly important matter.

“Master Fu said Scarlet Lady wasn't supposed to have the earrings,” she said.

“Yeah, he did.”

“Should we do something about it?”

“Hm.” Chat Noir put his hand to his chin. “Never really stopped to think about it. Sure, Scar does the bare minimum, but if we ever came close to defeating Hawkmoth? I don't think she'd give up her Miraculous willingly.”

Marigold clenched her fist. She had known for long how self-serving Scarlet Lady could be... and she could easily believe that she could fall that low.

“What about her kwami?” she asked. Knowing that one of Pollen's friends was in the hands of Scarlet Lady was distressing enough.

“Tikki?”

“Yeah. Can't she take the Earrings herself?”

Chat Noir shook his head, sighing.

“It's not that easy, or Nooroo would've nabbed the Butterfly Miraculous a long time ago. There are rules that kwami are bound to, apparently. Plus, Plagg says Tikki is particularly duty-bound. So long as Nooroo is in danger, she'll prioritize him over herself.”

“Poor Tikki,” Marigold complained. “It just doesn't seem to be fair.”

Chat Noir said nothing, but Marigold knew that his silence was in agreement.

The two of them watched the stars... and they thought of what the future might bring.

----

Animan

@zoe-oneesama Let's take a break, with fun times... and also the memory of Tikki being in the hands of a horrible boss.

Since we know that the Chat Noir and Marigold dolls are officially named Chaton Noir and Minigold, I thought about giving the other dolls special names.

* Stoneheart -> Pebbleheart (a pebble is a small stone)

* Maotif -> Xiaomaotif (xiao mao means little cat)

* Vanisher -> Vanishrinker (since the doll is like shrinking Vanisher)

* Volpina -> Volpiccona (piccola means "small" in Italian)

* Timebreaker -> Timecracker (if you try to break something but can't, maybe it just cracks)

Bring me the head of Arthropleura

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

After 170 years of searching, scientists finally know what the head of the largest known arthropod Arthropleura looked like, unlocking the key to its affinities.

L'étude

  Head anatomy and phylogenomics show the Carboniferous giant Arthropleura belonged to a millipede-centipede group | Science Advances, 09.10.2024 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adp6362

  Mickaël Lhéritier, Gregory D. Edgecombe, Russell J. Garwood,  Adrien Buisson, Alexis Gerbe, Nicolás Mongiardino Koch, Jean Vannier, Gilles Escarguel, Jérome Adrien, Vincent Fernandez, Aude Bergeret-Medina, and Vincent Perrier

  The Carboniferous myriapod Arthropleura is the largest arthropod of all time, but its fossils are usually incomplete, limiting the understanding of its anatomy, ecology, and relationships. Micro–computed tomography applied to exceptionally preserved specimens from the Carboniferous Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte (France) reveals unprecedented details of its functional anatomy, such as the head and mouthparts. Arthropleura shares features with both millipedes and centipedes.

  The morphology and homology of head anatomy across euthycarcinoids, pauropods, symphylans, arthropleurids, chilopods, and diplopods are shown.

    Bernadette Cassel's insight:

  L'analyse anatomique et phylogénomique de la tête montre que l'arthropode géant Arthropleura du carbonifère appartenait à un groupe situé entre les Diplopodes et les Chilopodes
