Day Four: Warmth

His clothing had always been taken from a carefully curated palette of colors. Everything had been meant to coordinate perfectly with his complexion, hair, and eyes to present the perfect image of the Agreste heir.

He’d never been allowed to wear red, and there was a red blanket draped over the side of the stall.

Very kind of the beanie baby to wait for me outside while I had my appointment 💕

[bunabi]

as someone who has acted in not exactly the way your sister does but in a similar enough way, i want to say genuinely i hope she gets better, both for you because you don't deserve to be put through that especially not by someone you cant get away from, and for her because i know firsthand living that way with that kind of inability to trust in someone is exhausting to the core. for you especially i hope you have ways to get away and keep your own head adn recuperate. and i hope you have a good week aswell

there's nothing I'd love more but at this point — two months deep into family therapy — I'm not sure

she genuinely cannot control some of the things she says, she doesn't even remember most of it, but the things she does recall she refuses to apologize for, and pushing her to account for it leads to her shutting down emotionally, going on a rant about spirituality, or going no-contact

every time I've express sentience or set boundaries or tell the truth she loses it 🧍🏾‍♀️ I cant begin to explain how it feels knowing someone you care about prefers you as their punching bag, not as a human being with thoughts and feelings of your own, but like a doll

sorry this is so long and TMI I just needed to vent about it </3 maybe my transparency can help someone out there reading this

I still think family therapy is worth doing though because my mom and I, at least, have learned a lot more about each other and healed old wounds

I *might* forgive Filoni for sidelining Hera in Rebels if we get quality emotional scenes between her and Sabine in the Ahsoka series.

Bread Girl AU

Some lore under the cut!

🔹 Adrien Agreste is a son of a fairly well-known fashion designer Gabriel Agreste and an actress/model Emilie Agreste. They keep a decent sized business in the fashion industry and have a shop where they sell original designs. Adrien doesn't really like to design, but is actively trying different hobbies. Lately he's been trying to do pancakes - wonder if they'll taste any good?

🔹 Marinette Dupain-Cheng is a daughter of a famous chef Sabine Cheng, the owner of the most successful bakery in France. Marinette dreams of being a fashion designer, yet is pressured to stay in the family business. She is the face of the business and is known as the Bread Girl from ads. It was better when her dad was here, but a year ago he disappeared. Her mom wasn't the same since

More lore coming very soon :)

What would their superhero versions will be called?

[bigfatbreak]

I do have a question about ViceroyAU Chloe. Does she feel even a LITTLE bad about pulling that shit on the same day Mari's mom died? Unfortunate timing it may have been (nobody could have predicted that she would pass that same day) but finding that out surely would have been a hell of an "oh shit" moment.

Chloe actually does feel terrible about that shit, because its not something she can fix with a half assed apology. She's now the eternal 'bad guy' of the class for that day, and Kim's reputation took a huge hit, especially on the swim team. its one of the reasons Chloe is constantly buying goods from the bakery, as though money could possibly make up for the crap that happened that day. she'd never admit it out loud, though.

and to be fair, it wasn't exactly the day Sabine died, it was just the day she fainted for the last time. It took her body longer than that to wither away. After all, Gabriel's the one with the money to plonk Emelie in a fun tube to keep her body unharmed.

we will raise warriors

Mhi solus tome | mhi solus dar’tome | mhi me’dinui an | mhi ba’juri verde (here!)

—

Edit: Sooooo,, this wasn’t meant to have two panels originally,, the first panel was meant to be the only one and wanted to just have the implication of Bine expecting their little warrior. But my anxiety said otherwise (・∀・)… I really didn’t want to draw sabezra kids as I was still conjuring them up in my mind lol. Pero bueno, anxiety won out lol~

The second was semi-rushed these last two days so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s fine, I think it turned out better for being rushed and like it~ but now I’m burnt out, aah. 😴😴😴

— okay actual main explanation —

This last panel was actually partially inspired by the fanfic “Moment’s Like These” by ConsiderTheLiliesOfTheField on ao3! I highly recommend the read! 🥹💜✨ The pose was actually inspired by the tranquil moment between the mom and dad in "A Quiet Place" and really love this final outcome! Much better than the initial sketch.

As for the little sabezra children, Mira Bridger-Wren and her little brother, Caleb Tris Bridger-Wren (just my own little interpretations of SE children 💜)✨ A nice and warm cuddle with the whole family, Sabine and Ezra’s little Jedi-Mando Warriors 💜🧡

I hope you all enjoyed these pieces! It may will definitely be a hot minute until I post some more art like these as I have a lot on my plate to work on ahead. More of these dorks for sure + sabezraweek maybe at this point ? + zine art I have to really advance on.

In the meantime, I hope ya'll like these pieces! 💜 thank you all so much for your kindness and support 🥹 this almost whole year of making silly art for these two has been so healing and good, I’m glad y’all enjoy my silly art and frantic ramblings 😊 happy Friday!

✨ Textless versions ✨

Not going to address the person directly but in other words they basically said “we can’t expect white men to write POC properly” in regards to my post about the moms being done dirty and while I understand the frustration and sentiment behind such a statement, I want to point out why I don’t think it’s particularly helpful or good critique

To start with, half of the post was about a white woman. There is intersectionality at play and we can’t just point to racism as the sole factor bc, while it definitely contributed significantly to Sabine’s bad writing, it can’t be denied that the crew has a problem with women as a whole regardless of their cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Moving on, I think shrugging off the horrid writing as the “expected” result of having primarily white men involved only serves to alleviate their responsibility and provide them with excuses to neither be inclusive in their future works or work to improve their writing of diverse demographics. It takes away their accountability by insinuating they’re simply not capable and therefore you shouldn’t have any expectation of them displaying basic respect for other people. Holding them to a lower standard than we would women, POC, and queer creators does nothing to help even the industry’s playing field that is already mostly monopolized by privileged cis white men. We can and should expect these out of touch creatives to expand their understanding of the world and understand other people and tell their stories in a respectful manner, it’s their fucking job!

There is definitely a lot to be said about about some people trying to take over another demographic’s space and control the conversations regarding said demographic’s issues and struggles, but encouraging them to act as an ally and take an active role in supporting the cause will ultimately be more helpful in the grand scheme of things than demanding they stay completely quiet and do nothing in solidarity

So if anyone is wondering why the next redesigns are taking so long. This is why...

I got distracted when I started planning a Miraculous Au where the characters lives were swapped but not their miraculous. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this but it's the first time I've ever written it.

In this Au the Dupain-Cheng company either owns a large chain of bakeries or sells baked goods in stores across the world (like Hostess or Little Debbie) Tom and Sabine are still very happy, and good parents. Marinette chose to be homeschooled after repeated bullying from classmates (Not Chloe) when she was in primary school.

Adrien's mom passed away a few years earlier since they didn't have the funds for her to live longer with her illness. Afterwards Gabriel threw himself into running his tailoring business. Adrien tends to avoid being at home as much as possible, since he and his father can only seem to talk while fighting.

Since they didn't have the money to pay for a tutor and Gabriel didn't have time, Adrien has been attending public school for most of his life. He's been bullied for years, by one person in particular, and has very few friends since people fear having that attention turned on them.

For her last year of Middle School/Collège Marinette has decided to face her fears and go to public school again. Only to chicken out before even making it to the door on day one, much to the chagrin of Luka, her childhood best friend.

The next day, Adrien is in the process of trying to get gum off of his seat when Marinette comes in. She is told by Luka (Adrien's Bully) that Adrien put it there since Luka was saving the seat for her. Unwilling to face another bully at on the first day she buckles down to just try and make it through the day.

That's when she meets Ayla, who is calm and collected. Her unwavering chill helps balance out Marinette's frantic nature. Marinette's first new friend!

Later Adrien explains that he was only trying to get the gum off the seat, and that Luka had put it there to spite Adrien before they knew Marinette was coming.

Marinette decides to give him chance, and gives him her umbrella.

@jessicas-pi honestly I wasn’t sure if I was hoping you’d read all the tags or not (because Sabezra Remote-Conceived Midichlorian Baby might be the crackiest thing my brainrot has ever produced 😅) but I am very very happy you did — not least of all because of THESE tags!!! 🤣🤌

After several polls of coming in second or third or fourth or whateverth place, Bo-Katan's Obitine Flashbacks finally won!

Bo-Katan doesn’t know specifics, but she does know it hasn’t been more than a month.

She lowers her voice. “I’m sorry for your loss, Wren. I know you and the Jedi were… close…”

And Sabine Wren drops her face into her arms, bursting into tears and then apologizing through her hysterical sobs, which tells Bo-Katan exactly how close they were.

Bo-Katan is hit with a feeling of deja vu, like she’s done this before.

Wait.

No.

She has.

Ha ha. Fun.

This is just exactly what she needed right now, another woman brokenhearted over a Jedi.

And she thought the time with her sister had been awkward.

Wren is still rambling, half-incoherently as she rubs her eyes and tries to pull herself together, a mix of excuses and explanations and aching, soul-deep pain.

She says enough to give Bo-Katan another realization.

Unless Bo has entirely misheard—not only did Wren have feelings for the Jedi boy—not only did the Jedi boy have feelings for Wren in return—not only did they confess to each other—they also said the vows, which is, Bo is pretty sure, farther than Satine ever got with her Jedi, and then the thought of Satine and Kenobi gives Bo-Katan the most horrifying notion yet.

“Oh, my gods, are you pregnant?”

Sabine sits up, eyes huge, mouth hanging open in speechless bewilderment.

“Am I… no!”

Her answer is entirely sincere, and Bo-Katan slumps in relief.

Manda be praised. We don’t need more Korkies.

Miraculous rewriting: Chloenette AU (Christmas Special)

This is the rewritten version of the Miraculous Christmas Special

Prologue

Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Time for the rewriting !

Santa Claws (Christmas Special):

The story happens before the Volpina episode (like in canon).

Marinette and her parents give Christmas log cakes for their customers: Alya, her Césaire family (Otis, Ella, Etta and Marlene (Nora wasn't in Paris), Alix and her father, Rose and Juleka, Nadja and her daughter Manon, Nino and Sabrina.

Later, it's Chloé's and Daddy's turn to enter to the bakery.

Marinette is a bit of surprised to see her former "girl-" friend(?) (but still problematic friend) Chloé in there.

In this AU, when the two girls wish Merry Christmas each other (oddly but embarrassing), Chloé whispers to the bakery girl:

"But I tell you, Dupain-Cheng: It's just a mutual feeling for one exceptional day."

In same time, Sabine briefly glares at Chloé (Marinette's mother still considers Chloé as a bad influence). 😡 The rich blondie girl is worried about that. 😰

After Chloé and her Daddy For this story, Socqueline comes to the bakery. For this scene, Marinette feels unpleased to see Socqueline again. She remembers the day when Socqueline has intervened at the Grand Paris and inadvertly disturbed the private moment between her and Chloé (read the Prologue).

Socqueline says "Hello." and "Merry Christmas !" to the Dupain-Cheng family. And Tom and Sabine happily answer idem to the old teenage girl. Marinette says the same thing but with a bored tone.

Socqueline asks to her ex-friend while the latter gives the log cake to the former.

Socqueline: If it's about the last time, I'm sorry for disturbing you. I don't want to make lose your time. So be happy. Marinette (sighing): Forget it. I prefer to not think about that again, Socqueline. And today, it's Christmas. Take our gift and have a nice Christmas with your family. Socqueline: (sighing) I'm made aware you make your time good at school: School representative. New friends. I understand you don't need of me now Marinette. But I promise to you I made my best for you. (taking a cold sight, briefly impassive) What ever you think. 😒 (seemly becoming normal again and acting enlightened) And Merry Christmas everyone. 👋😊

While Socqueline is leaving the place with the log cake, Marinette feels culprit, remorseful about the cold sight Socqueline had previously held: "And what if ending any friendship with Socqueline had hurt her so much ? 😔"

Nextafter, Placide I.T., Adrien's bodyguard, comes to the bakery. So Marinette brings a gift she wants to give to Adrien. She asks to the Gorilla for give it to the blond boy and for wish to the latter a merry christmas too.

At the Agreste mansion, Adrien and Nathalie decorate the Christmas tree. But, like in canon, Adrien is in a bad mood: His father is not here for help him to decorate. And more, it's the first Christmas for the boy without her mom.

When Placide comes back to the mansion, he gives the Marinette's gift to Adrien who walks up to his bedroom.

At his room, an upset Adrien, in front of Plagg, expresses his angry toward his father because of his distant/neglectful behavior toward his family and his role as fashion designer. So the blond boy transforms into Cat Noir and flees from the mansion.

Like in canon, there is his song moment. During his run across Paris, under a snowy weather ❄, by expressing his hatred against Christmas, Cat Noir cataclysms a Gabriel advertisement. Later, he recomforts Plagg with the Marinette's gift (which is a red and white snow-decorated hat Mari had created).

At the Agreste mansion, Gabriel has accepted to join Adrien for spend Christmas with him (after being convicted by Nathalie). Unfortunately, while Gabriel came to Adrien's room for give a gift to him, he finds out his son is missing. And the police, the Parisians, Socqueline and Marinette (who transforms into Ladybug) work together for search and find the missing teenage boy.

In same moment, Adrien is wandering around Paris under a snowy weather. He meets a red-white clothed old man 🎅 who is bullied by two naughty children with insults and snowballs. Adrien defends the poor man and the two children's father tells to the two brats to apologize.

Later, like in canon, Adrien offers the Marinette's hat to the red-clothed old man. The latter is wondered by the blond boy's gesture. Normally, The old man is the one who gives gifts for other people but nobody gives any present to himself. (Yeah. He is "a" Santa. 🎅)

The Santa guy gives to the boy a drink of hot chocolate (and a cheese to allow the boy to feed Plagg). Adrien talks about his family issues with the man. And the old man convinces the blond boy to return back at home for making his family Christmas. So he brings the boy back to the mansion by a sleigh driving.

But, like in the original story, once the two characters are arrived at destination, Gabriel is angry toward the Santa man and shouts to him to stay away from his son. Ladybug intervenes and eventually assaults the old man by thinking he is an akumatized supervillain.

While Ladybug is chasing the old man, the latter becomes furious against the superheroin. In same moment, Gabriel transforms into Hawk Moth, feels the Santa's negative emotions and sends an akuma to the concerned one.

At outside, a ashamed Ladybug realizes the Santa man isn't akumatized and tries to apologizes. But the old man declines the red-black girl's ask and leaves the place by sleigh drive. Marinette/Ladybug now begins to understand how Socqueline could felt after she rejected the latter girl. (read the Prologue)

The man is even upset about the fact "there isn't anyone for respect Christmas. The old is in fact THE real Santa Claus. 🎅

Hawk Moth akumatizes Santa into Santa Claws. And the akumatized Santa causes chaos in entire Paris.

Like in canon, Santa Claws tells to Adrien he wants to avenge Christmas spiritual concept (for him and the boy's sake).

Even later, the dark Santa throws a present containing cockroaches on Chloé at the Grand Paris.

Because of the akumatized Santa's trouble across Paris, Ladybug and Cat Noir stand up against him. They eventually defeat him in same way as in canon. By offering a big fake present to the evilized Santa and trapping him for destroy the akumatized object: The Marinette's hat (which is used to be given to Adrien and later given to Santa Claus by the previous). The two heroes save Christmas.

After the battle, Gabriel is relieved to find Adrien. Father and son are going to reconcile each other. And at the same moment, Nathalie calls them about a group of visitors ahead the portal: They are the group of Parisians who participated to search the now found blond boy.

Marinette, Alya, Chloé, Sabrina, Alix, their five formers' families, Nino, Juleka, Rose, Kim, Max and Santa Claus are here. Even better, Socqueline is here too.

In this AU, Marinette has called Socqueline on phone between the Santa Claws incident and the reunion to the Agreste mansion. The bluenette told to her former "senpai" she is sorry about ending any friendship with her.

The conversation be like:

Marinette: Breaking our friendship you was a mistake, Socqueline. In this period, I am just pissed off about being overprotected. I felt like treated like a toddler. In fact, I wanted to be able to make my life by my own. Your gestures are based on good intentions and I misunderstood your actions. I feel so ashamed about hurt you at the mind. 😔 Tonight, I ask this request as a sincere friend: Do you want to come to join me at the Adrien's home ? Mom, Dad, my friends and a famous Santa Claus come to place for expressing our support to Adrien and his family after having found him safe at home. You helped us to find him like Ladybug and Cat Noir and even an unexpected guest. And it's christmas. Socqueline: Uh... Of course. I will go to join you. My mom too. I am surprised about how mature you acted and how well you changed since the previous school year. But I understood your feelings, Marinette. I've made my mistake of not trusting you enough in the past but I don't feel hostile toward you. I am proud of you. 🥰👍 Marinette: Thanks. So, can I say we are friends again ? 😌🥺 Socqueline: Of course, Marinette. And I still consider you as a good friend. 😊 Oh. I want to know who is this mysterious guest you are talking about. 😏 Marinette: The Santa Claus. 🎅 Socqueline (giggling): Do you still believe in the Santa ? Marinette: Just a Santa. But he is the one who brought Adrien back to home. Oh. I forgot another guest. You will be surprised this time. Socqueline: Who is it ? Ladybug ? Marinette: Chloé. But don't worry, she is okay for this Christmas. She even gave her contribution for the searches even if she did it for a few minutes under the snow. Socqueline: I see... Okay, I will come. 😎

Back to present. Like in canon, Gabriel invites them to enter to the mansion for the Christmas dinner. The people enjoy the moment on place.

Marinette, Adrien, Alya and Chloé and the other teens share their Christmas wishes. When Marinette and Chloé expressed their Christmas wishes (normal but joyfully this time), Socqueline comes to them and says to them: "Merry Christmas, Marinette. Merry Christmas Chloé."

The rich brat gasps to see her former enemy inside the mansion. And she is wondered that the latter politely talked to her. So, Chloé (with a minor disturbed tone, feigning a smile and holding thimbs up) answers to Socqueline: "Nice. Thank you. Uh... Merry Christmas to you. 😳🥴"

Next to Chloé, Marinette, Alya and Sabrina are smiling (like funnied). But the blond brat doesn't notice it.

During the dinner, a happy Adrien wishes a Merry Christmas to his "defunct" mother by watching the family portrait.

End of the Christmas story. And Merry Christmas to everyone. ✨🎄

[obiwanwhat]

Hera's relationship with Jacen's (potential) Force-sensitivity has so many layers to think about.

She lived through the Empire. She knows the edge of the knife that Force-Sensitive children lived on - she saw the parents killed by inquisitors, their children dragged from dead arms for a fate worse than death

The empire may be gone, but plenty of people in the galaxy are still interested in those who are Force-sensitive, and willing to kill for them. There is no safety for the Force-sensitive children in a post Empire galaxy

Being a Jedi is what got Kanan killed. It's what led Ezra to sacrifice himself to take down Thrawn. Kanan is lost forever, and every year that goes by makes it less likely that she will ever see Ezra again, and she cannot lose her son too-

She worries about Jacen, growing up with stories and legends instead of with a father. She wonders about what that does to a child, to know that your father died a hero, to know that the only way you can live up to his legend is to die a bigger hero than he did, and to know that the power that got him killed runs through your veins as well

But at the same time. He must be trained. She knows how Kanan spoke of the Force and those who are connected to it. It is not a power that can be ignored.

Kanan should have trained him. She can picture it so clearly it hurts - Kanan, laughing as their son began to make objects float in his cradle, soothing him when he cries (Jacen's a sensitive baby - Hera quickly learns that he cannot be soothed when her own heart is disquieted). He was so wonderful with training Ezra, even if he never thought he was good enough. He was so good with Sabine. He would have been a wonderful father

Ezra should have been here to help. Jacen should have grown up with a father, with an Aunt Sabine and an Uncle Ezra. The older Jacen gets, the more he grows into his powers, the more Hera can feel their absence.

Who's left to train him at this point? She loves Ahsoka, but after what happened with Sabine....if she can't manage to train an adult, could she really be trusted with a child? There's Luke Skywalker, but Hera doesn't know him, and he wasn't trained the way Kanan was. How can she trust him with her son?

She feels inadequate. It's hard, to parent alone, to be a General and a pilot and a mom. And this is something she can't do, that she can't understand and never will. It's a reminder that she's not enough for Jacen, that she'll never be enough - it's a reminder that Kanan's not there
