Hello revel!! Been reading your stories for a few months now, and I'm obsessed.
Do you have any plans on writing for Rung?
Glad you like my stories!
I have the overwhelming urge to add TFA Megs. Rewatching the series and I somehow always forget the size difference between the Autobots and Decepticons and just how big a boy Megs is in TFA
Anything For You
Rung x Reader
• Carefully snipping a part loose, he pauses to adjust the protective lenses over his optics before fitting the part in place. There’s something about the routine of assembling a model that helps him think. And he’s thinking about the little human that had been the first to appear. The one that had gravitated toward Megatron, the former warlord. And, he hopes, helping Megatron move past his guilt and begin to forgive himself. To heal. He been assembling a model then, too. Smiling, he turns to reach for a cube of energon and hears a cry and a clatter as parts scatter everywhere. No, not again.
• Wheezing through the pain, it feels like someone clocked you in the face, head splitting as you squint open an eye. And see the huge monster leaning over over you. Screaming, you shove yourself backwards and your hand lands on a bit of plastic bigger than your fist as you grab it and throw it to bounce harmlessly off the giant. “I’m not going to hurt you,” the monster says, voice soft and coaxing as he holds out big hands. And you bean him in the head with another chunk of plastic. “Please don’t.”
• Scrambling to your feet and staggering a bit, you grab another part and rear back. The other human didn’t lash out, they’d cowered, but not you. You’re baring your little teeth at him, afraid and angry. Wild as a cornered animal. “Don’t you touch me.” And you chuck your projectile and snatch up another. “I’ll mess you up!” Easing back so he’s not looming because you’re strung so tight he’s afraid you might bolt and throw yourself off the top of his desk just to escape. And despite the scowl and angry tone, you are scared. “I will!”
• “I’m sure you will,” he says, reaching for a cube of glowing goop and tipping it up to drink. Not trying to grab you as you back up closer to the far edge, tensed in case he makes a grab for you. Where are you? What happened? Your heart is racing like crazy, pounding so hard against your ribs you can barely breathe. Is this a nightmare? Are you asleep? As you watch, he reaches for a long metal thing nearly half your height and uses a servo to work the knob on the side and you stiffen as a blade pops out of the end. Moving slowly, he sets it down and pushes it your way with a servo. Giving you a weapon? “See? I’m unarmed.”
• Watches you lunge, hooking your arms around the little utility knife and aiming the blade at him, struggling to hold it up, eyes narrowed. “I’m not afraid of you,” you mutter, but your fingers are white knuckled gripping the knife. Can tell you feel safer having that and he doesn’t think you’d actually cut him unless you felt threatened, but you’re stressed and on edge now. The blade a little thing if it gives you comfort. And he studies you, frowning slightly as you tremble and glare up at him. “Where am I? Who are you?” You’re definitely not the other human, you’re all anger and fear. Needing help. Needing him.

Can I please request a whb king's reaction to actress/actor mc but this time mc is in a dramatically sweet or cringy romance movie as the main lead? With the ending being the main couple having a child time skip cuz like why not (asmo's breeding kink...)
WHB kings w/ a romance movie actor reader
⟡ Masterlist ⟡
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
As much as Satan tries to enjoy the movie, it's not exactly his cup of tea
It will be kinda hard for him to stay focused, but will try his hardest
If there's some drama and maybe fighting that ends with a kiss, he's immediately into it
Also, he hates to admit it, but he's jealous of your co-star
So to somehow keep himself entertained, he'll look for ways to trashtalk them and the things they say
(Pointing out that it's just a script they're reading is useless)
༺☆༻
I also don't see Mammon as romance movie enjoyer, but he doesn't hate them either
There are a few romance movies you can get him to enjoy and yours is one of them
Mammon is especially interested in the part where the main couple moves into their dream house
He can't help but wonder what would be your dream home
And don't get me started on the wedding ring
The one that he'll get you, should you want one, will be way bigger and better than whatever that tiny stone was in the movie
༺☆༻
Cheesy romance movies are Leviathan's secret guilty pleasure
Sure, he will watch your movie and even like it, but won't tell you he did
His envy gets triggered every time there's a scene between the main couple wiht them touching or kissing
Sure, it's just one kiss on screen, but how many rehearsals and failed shots were there before you nailed it? He doesn't even want to try to guess
If he sees your co-star anywhere around you again, he can't be responsible for his actions
༺☆༻
Watching movies with Beel is fun for the same reason it's frustrating to show him the movie you starred in
He'll watch the movie whole, but focus on the exactly wrong thing
It's always something random too
I imagine Beel's the type to make '(a scene)but it just zooms in on random items' movie edits
Will point out background mistakes like missing flowerpots or extras changing clothes mid-scene
Only when it's solely you, centered in the shot, he'll finally pay attention to your character
༺☆༻
Belphie tries really hard to stay awake, he really does
But to him unless it's anime, it's kinda boring
Where's the superpowers? the cursed beings? the jojo stands?
If there's Beleth with you in the room, it's to Belphie's benefit
Belphie'll be awake as you're settling in to watch the movie and by the time you stop checking in on him, he'll be out
And then all that Beleth needs to do, is nudge him awake before you start asking for his opinion
༺☆༻
Asmo loves cheesy romance movies!
They remind him of his past lover and some of them even have sex scenes
And sometimes you can even cach him on the verge of crying once the big movie climax happens :)
So now that you're playing in one, he's found the one he'll keep rewatching over and over
Ooh, but if there's a sex scene in your movie, the mood drastically changes
Screw the movie... Asmo suddenly feels like rewriting the movie and showing you exactly what he'd do differently (you already know where this goes)
And the movie time skip to children is absolutely one of his favorite parts
Too bad he can't actually make you pregnant bc of his past lover's curse bc he would absolutely love to have a mini army of mini you's running around Hell
༺☆༻
If you ask, Lucifer would tell you that he doesn't have a movie preference, but romace movies are one of them
Generally, any movie that he can watch with the rest of the Paradise Lost demons without them arguing over it is a good one
Lucifer loves learning about the human experience so any realistic movie is a nice way of him to find out more
As you show him your movie, he'll watch it carefully and remember from it way more than even you could
The final scene with the main couple and their kids makes him smile
Similarly to Asmo, he can't help but wonder what it would be like to have a mini halfling that looks like the two of you combined, running around
#what in hell is bad#what in “hell” is bad?#whb satan#whb beelzebub#whb lucifer#whb leviathan#whb mammon#whb asmodeus#whb belphegor

2024 Recap: ✨A Summary✨
Post your most popular and/or favourite edit/gifset/analysis for each month (it’s okay to skip months!)
@troubled-mind and @my-rose-tinted-glasses brought this back, so here is mine! I can't believe some of this stuff happened this year, it feels like it's been 84 years.
January:
most popular - Deep character analysis of Phaya from The Sign
favorites - The birth of Japanese QL Corner, Breakdown of the Last Twilight finale (siiiigh), love for I Became the Main Role in a BL Drama and Gyeongseong Creature, and this list of some of my fav non-BL jdramas
I was a busy little bee in January! Not surprising, as I tend to hermit at home in the deep winter and do nothing but watch dramas and post too much. JQL Corner became my big project of the year, and I can't believe there wasn't a single week that I didn't have Japanese QL to talk about. I Became the Main and Gyeongseong were both surprise delights that ended up among my favs of the year. I’m still holding my LT grudge, in case anyone had any doubt.
February:
most popular - Praise for Dead Friend Forever's mystery arc
favorites - Appreciation for Love for Love's Sake's ending, every single LITBC book club post that I either wrote or read, my final review of Cooking Crush
The original run for the LITBC book club that @bengiyo and I led! What a great time reading a fantastic book, chatting with besties, and making new friends. I also stand by that praise for DFF's mystery arc--that was the strongest part of the show; the things I took issue with were elsewhere in the story. I have just been thinking I need to rewatch LFLS and this post reminds me why (I remember when it first ended me and @wen-kexing-apologist were like, we're going to watch it again immediately! And then realized we were in no way emotionally prepared for that LMAO). Cooking Crush remains a fav and I may or may not be rewatching right now.
March:
most popular and favorite- An actual love letter to TsukuTabe, my beloved
other favorites - Analysis of Unknown ep 6 aka The Turning Point and big love for Cherry Magic Thailand after the finale
Wow, three of my very favorite shows of the year all happening at once. What a blessed month this was. Also, this is not a specific post, but this is the month when I read Da Ge and then spent weeks with people coming into my DMs to get their own copy of the translation, which was a top fandom experience for me because I met a bunch of new people, some of whom stuck around to talk about Unknown, and it made me feel like an illicit dealer which was very fun.
April:
most popular - The boopening
favorites- A breakdown of the pseudo-incest trope and this list of my favorite friends to lovers dramas
The boopening was a once in a lifetime whimsical tumblr event, and I am so glad I was able to participate fully. I also really like these other two because I feel strongly that all tropes have their place and can be enjoyed when executed well and I love talking about that.
May:
most popular - Love for Oyei and Cher from Wandee Goodday
favorites - Trans Allegory in Cupid's Last Wish, co-authored with @wen-kexing-apologist and @so-much-yet-to-learn and this cdrama rec list.
I spent much of May watching and posting about shows I did not end up liking much in the end, but that is also the month I finally watched CLW with my friends and enjoyed it more than expected, in part because WKA had us watch it through the lens of trans allegory, which totally worked.
June:
most popular - Class disparity themes in Love Sea
favorites - 10 Things I Love About Triage, celebrating Thai marriage equality with @my-rose-tinted-glasses, praise for Marahuyo Project
What a fun Pride month with the start of Love Sea, Knock Knock Boys, Marahuyo Project, The Trainee, and me finally watching Triage.
July:
most popular - Teaching the youths about face fucking and power dynamics in Love Sea
favorites - 10 Things I Love About Oppan and The Miracle of Teddy Bear Saved the Gays with @twig-tea
More great shows. I'm so glad me and Twig ignored the rumors and watched Teddy Bear because it's one of my favorite Thai dramas of all time.
August:
most popular - Cheering on the defeat of noble idiocy in Love Sea
favorites - Praise for Knock Knock Boys and this spicy JBL rec list and this other quality JBL rec list and calling out weird fandom attitudes about JBL
Another good month, and the busiest by far for QL Corner. There were so many JQLs airing this summer! What a time to be alive.
September:
most popular - Documenting Wang's behavior in The On1y One
favorites - 10 Things I Love About Mr. Mitsuya's Planned Feeding, clocking Doku Koi as a fav early, this high school bl rec list and this BL romance rec list
I'm filled with so much bitterness reading that Wang/Tian post. I'll be taking this grudge to the grave!
October:
most popular - Moar boops
favorites - Analyzing Dohoe in Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo and celebrating the first two episodes of Love in the Big City and the creation of the LITBC Drama Book Club Round Up
Two moody Korean shows with complicated gay leads dropped in my birthday month, the book club band was back together, and I got to do Halloween themed boops. I WAS THRIVING IN OCTOBER.
November:
most popular - On fandom as a life saving force
favorites - This list of some of my trash favs for @happypotato48 and getting my feelings out on Young and Gyuho and Hirukawa and Minase and final thoughts on the LITBC drama
I was having a lot of feelings in November.
December:
most popular - Democracy in Squid Game 2
favourite - QL superlatives and grievances, this round up of my fav dramas of the year and being so very normal about Hirukawa
This write up really helped me appreciate that I had good stuff to watch and write about every month this year. There were some disappointments, but also a lot of shows I really loved and it was fun to remember some of the things I wrote. Also, i got to make so many fun rec lists! If you were tagged here, or if you just see this and want to join in, consider yourself invited to do your own!
You can go here to find your top 10 posts of each month.

Can we have some of ur mouthwashing headcanons for the tulpar crew? (Can be about anything btw) The brain worms are getting hungry again I fear… 😞
-ig ill be 🪷 anon if it’s not taken yet?
HELLOOO BABYYYY sorry this took so long i was dying bc of my finals </3 but anyways welcome 🪷 anon to the family!!!!!! these hcs ended up so unserious LOL
the crew got banned from playing uno after anya nearly flipped the table when daisuke put down like five +4 cards in a row now they just stick to sorry!
swansea hums to himself when he's working, it's usually like old songs but recently daisuke's pop songs have been getting stuck in his head. (i think it would be unbelievably funny if swansea starts singing like the brainrot versions of songs js bc daisuke keeps playing them. yk like the 'oh the weather outside is rizzy, and the fire is so skibidi' LMAOSKJDSK
daisuke doesn't really have a specific music taste, he listens to a mix of everything. doesn't know how to answer when people ask him what his fave genre is so he tries to act cool and says he only listens to rap music.
anya had a wattpad phase. i can't explain further i can just FEEL it.
curly is actually a decent dancer. his mom sent him for dance classes as a kid and he has a good sense of rhythm. jimmy makes fun of him for this though so he doesn't ever mention it.
jimmy has rewatched american psycho probably more than 117 times. he watches it and he's like:
(i am currently watching + reading it for the first time and patrick bateman is literally jimmy to me.) more content utc!
anya is terrible in the kitchen. like seriously do Not let her in there or the house will burn down just from her boiling water or smth. it's okay tho i will be her housewife <3 (i can't cook either) she is also very good at tetris for some reason. she's a little forgetful so she usually writes things that she needs to remember on the back of her hands but by the end of the day they're all smudged smh. but also she always has perfect nails!
curly is one of those guys who's just naturally good at things. yk when people are like 'oh yeah i never practice' and it pisses you off? he's one of those guys. ik ppl say he's british but he's so american to me??? he was definitely the jock in highschool that every girl crushed on but he never even realised.
swansea is a dog person. he's chill w cats but he definitely prefers dogs. he likes how loyal they are, and i can see him having a massive dog like a st bernard at home waiting for him. but if his kids ever brought back a kitten or smth he'd be the one to be all 'you guys better take care of it bc i won't' but then you see him becoming besties with the cat LOL.
daisuke LOVES the beach. literally a water baby. he's very good at surfing, and always ends up with a tan that makes him look even more handsome bc it compliments his dyed hair so nicely. i think that he grew up in a big family w lots of cousins around where he would be one of the older kids, so he's very good w children as well. he somehow knows the best way to entertain them and keep them out of trouble. (primary school art teacher daisuke are you guys seeing my vision?!?!?!)
jimmy gets nightmares and thus has difficulty sleeping. he lies whenever curly asks him about it but those dark circles say otherwise. this might be random but i also think he's good at singing. in another world he could have been a sleazy rockstar but instead he went to space. are u guys seeing the visual of jimmy laying back in bed strumming his banged-up electric guitar... i hate this mf.
anyways that's all for now! i had a lot of fun w these hehe <3 hope you liked them!

I wasn’t around the fandom back in C2, but I know some people didn’t like that the Nein kind of ignored the war and didn’t follow that thread Matt laid out. Was this a widespread enough critique of the campaign to where it would possibly be influencing the players to follow Matt’s premise and threads more here, despite playing ill suited characters? Not looking for this as justification for this campaign's problems, to be clear, just kind of reaching for an explanation for the timidity here. I feel like I’m watching players be too polite to say "actually, we just really don't care if the gods are here or not" but not wanting to harsh Matt's story concept.
Hi anon,
This is a good question, and I think the answer is ultimately "I don't know", but I do want to take you through my thought process which I hope is helpful. The short answer is, however, that while this is interesting to speculate on (this is a good post doing so) I don't ultimately need to know. External factors can influence a work, clearly, but I think that needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis and in this case, an explanation for the timidity doesn't really address that I don't care for it.
Firstly: I think the fandom's influence on player choices is probably overstated. I think that fan influence was something of a concern in Campaign 1, when the fandom was much smaller, the cast was much more hands-on, and, for example, for a lot of the earlier episodes the chat was literally on the YouTube videos so if they went to rewatch their own work they'd see that. Matt used to drop into the Reddit. People who were fans in 2015 and early 2016 would email or DM cast or crew and get direct messages. That's really no longer the case, and hasn't been for a very long time.
I can't speak to the fandom at large's feelings on the war plot in Campaign 2 while it was actually airing. I have seen it brought up a lot by Campaign 2 detractors after the fact, but I don't do Reddit or Twitter and during Campaign 2 I didn't really go into the main tag much until fairly late. Personally, I feel a lot of people lean on the "they didn't follow the war plot" only because Matt revealed in the wrap-up that he had something planned for the Augen Trust, but there was absolutely no way for the cast to know it. Additionally, I think my feeling about this is "their avoidance was a very clear decision that was true to their characters." When the party first leaves Zadash, it is specifically because they are low-level and explicitly want to get out of town before the war leads to heightened security. Nott is at the time a goblin and not treated as a citizen of the Empire. Molly, Yasha, Fjord, and Jester aren't imperial citizens either. Beau hates authority, and Caleb has extremely good reasons (having just seen Trent) to get as far away from anything relating to the Empire's government. After their mission to Shady Creek run, they are grieving and decide to go someplace where a few of them feel at home, and also pursue the note from Avantika they found. They avoid the war because it makes perfect sense for that group of characters to do; and then they eventually go to Xhorhas and see the war from the other perspective! They don't even avoid it; they just engage in a way that is very different from how Matt originally envisioned, and is, again, very true to their characters (Nott wanting to save Yeza; Caleb wanting to avoid imprisonment and being willing to hand over the beacon to do so). The Mighty Nein very much followed available plot hooks at every turn; they might have been different plot hooks than some people wanted, but they were very much making choices based on who they were as characters at each juncture.
I also think that the characters leaning into "we don't really care" early on would have actually been a great move and one Matt could adapt to. I think that might have actually led to him trying to, for example, encourage a focus on either "Predathos is an existential threat that is leading Ludinus to commit multiple atrocities, and killing him will still leave the temptation intact for another Ludinus to arise"; or "well, how about we give you time to explore your own pasts and your own homes and get perspectives from the common people of Exandria and then decide from a humanist perspective". The problem isn't that they may or may not release Predathos or may or may not destroy the gods; it's that their motivations are at best either solipsistic or barely existent and so it's hard to care about anything because the party feels dragged along by a plot they don't care about. They're not even choosing the plot actively; they're just sort of shuffling slowly forward through it.
Now, here's my opinion: I think that even if the fandom were critical of Campaign 2 (and while some people are, it is openly and widely beloved, and I think the cast are familiar with the idea that you cannot make everyone happy), I don't think listening to the fandom is necessarily correct. I think that, in fact, listening too much to the fandom and trying to please whoever is loudest or most unpleasant or threatening or flattering or worse still, multiple of these groups, will nearly always make your art weak.
There's choices where I think the context of said choice is important: I'm a little softer now on the party not having time to mourn FCG in-game than I was at the time because I can understand feeling really bad about and uncomfortable with, essentially, holding a memorial for a character played by your friend currently in cancer treatment. I understand why it happened. I do not blame the cast for making that choice. I do think, however, it does make a weaker story. I would not walk up to Matt Mercer and say "this sucked and you shouldn't have done this" but just because there's a good external reason doesn't mean it was necessarily executed well in game. This may sound cold to some. I don't particularly care; I'm writing this about how criticism from random strangers means very little to me.
I feel very strongly that you should not play to your haters. This comes up a lot when we talk about the misogynistic death threats that Marisha received, and for what it's worth I think Marisha has at all times handled this well and any criticism I have of her characters isn't related to her being overly timid. I really do, as a woman myself, understand that one's safety is paramount, and I would never demand an artist put themselves at risk (though many choose to, and often that work is excellent). But *Dessa Fire Drills voice* that's not, in my opinion, a way to live. It's a delicate and exhausting balance but avoiding making bold moves because the worst fucking guy on the internet will call you a slur is letting him win and he'll call you the slur anyway.
Maybe this isn't a great way to be, and I was not born this way so much as found it through some rough experiences when I was younger, but if someone's never going to be happy with you, or even if their idea of what is acceptable is so vanishingly narrow that you will have to fold yourself up to fit into it, don't you want to 1. focus then on making yourself happy and 2. not worry about pissing them off and indeed maybe even court it a little so long as it doesn't conflict with what you would want if they were out of the picture?
So I don't want to say there's no explanation ever that will make me feel a little more understanding; but "this work isn't great because of external factors beyond the creators' control" doesn't fix the fact that the work isn't great. It's not their fault in that case! But like...you know the college myth of "if your roommate dies you get straight As for the semester"? It's untrue there and it's untrue here. I will be more sympathetic to the artist; but the art still isn't good and I'm not going to pretend like it is.

Ah, so sorry for not getting back sooner, but LIFE...
And it was probably good I paused, because looking at what I could add here, and what I should add here, are two different things.
I've got quite a bit of flower info on different flowers and where they appear, but I'm not sure I've got anything to add on daisies in particular. Which makes me think I need to do a new trawl through the series focusing on flowers. Oh, what an excuse...and I do need to rewatch it. Again.
It may be worth me putting together a summary of flower metas, and plant info in general. There's a nice task for me. I do need to get some things organised leading into the big finale.
@gallup24 I did look into the flower stall for you, and I think that needs a separate post because yeah, there is actually some nice juicy symbolism in there - and its not where you think it might be. I have to admit the flowers are hard to see in the stall, it really is not featured well. I'll be back.
Daisies
The daisy (etymology: day’s eye) traditionally symbolizes innocence. It is also associated with a game/ritual of plucking the petals to determine whether the person you love loves you back.
There are a lot of flowers, floral-pattern clothing, botanical ornamentation, etc. in Season 2, presumably for garden metaphor reasons. We see various meaningful flowers, but daisies and daisy-like flowers are especially significant.
Let's take a look at the daisies of Season 2.
The restaurant Marguerite’s may be covered in ivy and roses, but marguerite is the French word for daisy.
Justine’s dress at Marguerite’s has a daisy pattern.
Maggie’s episode 1 cardigan has stylized white flowers that could be read as daisies. (Note when we first see her approach Nina we also see the word "pure" in the coffee shop mural.) Maggie's episode 3 shirt has a couple large daisies with another flower, rainbow, and sun.
Marguerite is the French version of the English name Margaret. Maggie is almost always a nickname for Margaret, so presumably Maggie’s name is Margaret.
The hitchhiker has a daisy-pattern headband. When Shax morphs back into her regular face/body she continues wearing the hitchhiker-disguise clothing while in the car with Aziraphale.
A dress hanging beside Aziraphale throughout the celebration scene and then the Furfur scene in the dressing room has a floral pattern that includes daisies. The large flower head on the mirror is a cousin of a daisy.
A dress hanging beside Crowley throughout the dressing room scenes is painted with small white daisies.
At the ball, Nina’s shirt has a daisy on the back left shoulder and Mutt’s hat has white and red daisies.
The Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death mural has a daisy. I think the daisy is only visible in this one shot of Nina opening shop the morning after the ball. (The menu on the wall also looks like it has some little daisies in the flower decorations.)
I'M SORRY EXCUSE ME. ARE THOSE LIGHTNING BOLTS STRIKING THE DAISY THROUGH THE WORD LATTÉ?! Or maybe the lightning is striking the latté?
In Maggie and Nina's talk-to-him intervention, there's a little daisy pattern in the chair fabric visible by Crowley's head.
The clock's four spandrels each have a red daisy.
The names Marguerite and Margaret can be traced to a root word meaning “pearl” and the names are listed as meaning pearl in baby name books. Is there a possible connection to the seashell on the clock case door? Or to the collar of Aziraphale’s Job outfit that was missing a pearl? There are pearls in several scenes in the show including the ball and the 1941 dressing room.
Literary connections:
Skip the square-bracketed summaries to avoid spoilers for the stories.
Daisy is a main character in The Great Gatsby, one of the books on Jim’s shelf.
[Daisy is a wealthy socialite who ultimately chooses her cruel husband over her infatuated lover Gatsby. She also hit-and-runs someone in Gatsby’s 1920s yellow Rolls-Royce (which in film adaptations looks very similar to the yellowified Bentley). Her greater significance to the book is as a symbol to Gatsby, so idealized in his mind that she is his entire dream and driving force. Gatsby also associates a strange green light with Daisy although the source of the light is not actually known. (In Good Omens, strange green light is associated with Hell instead.)]
There are a couple fictional bearers of the name Marguerite who are not in books from Jim's bookshelf, but who seem highly relevant:
-Marguerite St. Juste (note that the restaurant Marguerite’s is owned by Justine), wife of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
[Unhappy in her marriage to a dull British fop, she is thrilled to figure out that he is secretly the dashing hero saving French aristocrats from the Reign of Terror, but horrified that she has accidentally betrayed him. She bravely pursues him to France, and now knowing they’ve underestimated each other their love is rekindled. There have been many film adaptations of the story, one of which is by Powell and Pressburger whose films are referenced extensively in Good Omens Season 2.]
-Marguerite, heroine of various opera and film adaptations of Faust. (Margarete, diminutive Gretchen, in Goethe’s Faust.)
[Faust seduces Marguerite with the help of the demon Mephistopheles, she winds up in prison for killing the resulting baby, Faust tries to rescue her but she refuses to go, and then a voice from Heaven announces her salvation.]

Félix making fun of Adrien is funny but Adrien making fun of Félix is equally as hilarious because like. He’s so quick about it. He doesn’t have to think about it, he knows exactly how to do it like he’s thought about it before.
In the episode ‘Félix’ alone, when he’s pretending to be Félix when the Punishers Trio show up, he immediately acts CARTOONISHLY evil. Does a silly evil cackle and runs off. Then later when he encounters Félix as Chat Noir, he immediately hits him with the, “You don’t have many friends, do you? :)”
Too bad we never got Chat Noir and Argos fighting because you just KNOW Chat would be leaving some devastating blows. Cain Instinct Real.
#miraculous ladybug#adrien agreste#felix graham de vanily#felix fathom#senticousins#they are. SO funny to me sometimes#Rewatched the episode Felix again right before I made this post#I need more of their banter#Tbh I think I wanna see Adrien pretending to be Felix for once#because they used to swap as kids meaning it was mutual#They pretended to be each other#Adrien knows how to impersonate him. I believe in him
