the path finding would be so cute when little wayne learns how to walk they just automatically find bruce anywhere or their brothers no matter what
That's what I was thinking! Regardless of the power Flittermouse gets, I'm wondering about how they'd use it to interact with their family members before anything else.
Duplicating? Hmm, two brothers want your attention...two yous to spend time with them both!
Circadian manipulation? Your dad looks awful tired. Maybe if you just tweaked one little thing....aaaand he's asleep! Great!
Shadow manipulation? They're a family of crime fighters that do their best work in the night! You can work with that.
Kinetic absorption? Well, you weren't just going to stand around and let your brother take a bullet, that's just silly.
Pathfinding? What are they looking for? A stray pen or joker's bombs hidden throughout the city? Either way, you know where.

Saw a post abt the Sonic movies that was like "plz filter negativity posts better" which is GOOD AND TRUE you should be doing that. Ok. But then they kept going to imply that the criticisms of the Sonic movies are all entirely Personal and Ignorable and not like. Usually abt the horrific copaganda, misogynistic writing, and Paramount's disgusting zionism.... Guys a lot of ppls problem w the Knuckles show wasn't JUST a bastardization of Knuckles' character or thinking Wade was annoying or whatever, but like was focused on the grotesque Zionist message from that one episode 😭😭😭 you can enjoy something and still recognize that it has intrinsic and huge glaring flaws and talk abt them. I think actually you Should be speaking up abt the misogyny, zionism and propaganda the SCU supports and discusses, ESPECIALLY if you like the movies! Its important to be able to recognize these things in media and admit that even media you personally enjoy can be deeply problematic, instead of hiding it away and pretending those HUGE FLAWS aren't issues actually....
#scu neg#sonic movie negative#do you guys even have a specific single tag? genuine question#scu negative#like bro you just had to say 'plz tag negativity posts better :(' you didnt have to go on a tangent abt how sonic wachowski is a perfect#little angel ...#and writing off criticism abt the movie as 'personal issues' is also just. Mean. undermining ppls genuine investment in the characters#shadow means a lot to me. his storyline js extremely powerful. ofc im disappointed they fucked it up. thats personal but it has real world#consequence. taking a character whos entire plotline is driven by an anti-militant message and who is a genuine and powerful representative#of PTSD in media and making him. Whatever He Is Now is Bad Actually. even if you think thats just a personal take it still has Real Effects#and i dont expect the scu to be a masterpiece of art. i take sonic seriously but i understand that im maybe an Exception and also that#perceptions of characters change between literally Everyone. but i think its still fine to say that i dont trust the writers to tell the#story they want to tell. they very clearly Dont understand what made adventure-era sonic so powerful in the first place and thats a valid#take even if it is 'just a personal opinion'#ok sorry for getting heated. as a board-certified PTSD haver shadow the hedgehog is important to me its like i imprinted on him as a child#like. i dont think its a stretch to assume that theyre probably going to make shadow Dull and Lame compared to his old storylines. gerald i#already so fucked up that i honestly have lost all hope this movie will have good writing. and i can Expect good writing becuz this project#is from a huge corporation that can Afford good talent and Chose to do their movies this way instead#and they were like 'you guys cant b mad that the character you like didnt show up!' when the criticism for THAT is that the scu is doing#EVERYTHING in its power to AVOID adding new and substantial female roles to the cast. rouge not being there is a larger issue besides just#Missing Her. we have 3 reoccurring women/girl characters. out of a cast of roughly 13 main characters. cant you see how disgusting that is.#i think its 13 anyway hang on. im counting wade tom sonic tails knuckles shadow eggman gerald those two gun guys. yeah#'but theyre adding another woman character!' yeah.... and shes another military official..... when we coulda had Rouge the Bat???#thats not the win you think it is.........#ig theres sonics owl mom too genuinely forgot abt her tbh#she exists only to b a mom and die tho so she isnt rlly That Great as a woman character either#and maddie exists only to b Sonics Mom and rachel only exists to be the Funny Aunt and jojo only exists to be The Girl Cousin so......#SORRY ESSAY SORRY i feel very passionately abt sonic!!!! especially in this case!!!!!!!#ok well ig maria is there too but shes also just. Uhm. Ok. Look. i love maria robotnik. but she is a Plot Device not a character. sorry#wades family dont count either becuz. well. they suck NO NO NO JUST KIDDING

Boy King AU | Vettonso + Martian | 1.3k
There's something about putting the future emperor of the Holy Realm on his knees like this. About how easily he goes, how willingly, how obediently. What would his adoring public think if they could see him now. If they saw their beloved king pressed down like this, in the cramped space between Fernando's legs. When they realized their little boy king took it like he was a little concubine instead. 
Fernando's bitterness is lifted away in moments like these, like taking off a heavy cloak on a winter's day. It was hard to feel humiliated about his own situation when watching Sebastian debase himself like this. 
He always gives himself up so easily. When Fernando threaded his fingers through his thick curls. When he pulled them, and then when he pressed his face down further down into the vee of his legs.  Sebastian rubbed his cheek into the coarse fabric of Fernando's breeches and blinked up at him. Fernando had to smother an embarrassing sound; he was just like a little cat!
Sebastian quirked his lips up into an odd little smile and slightly rose up on his knees, "What's funny?" Fernando swallowed lightly and schooled his face back into being impassive, "Nothing. As you were." Sebastian simply smirked at him and let himself be pushed back down by the fist clenched in his hair. 
Fernando scoffed internally, there was only so much pleasure in putting the other man in his place when he instead acted like this, this degrading action, was his birthright. He took to ruling and indulging in carnal pleasures as if they were of equal gravity. To be privileged to hold such high station and also let himself be taken apart like this…Fernando felt embarrassed for him.
He is dragged away from his musings when Sebastian moved to settle his hands in Fernando's lap, clutching his hips over the fabric and slightly squeezing; Fernando fought against the urge to shiver. Sebastian pushed up the skirt of Fernando's waistcoat and smoothed his hands over the opening flap of his breeches.
His eyes darted up at Fernando again, a daft smile on his face. Fernando scowled at him, "What?" Seb's grin sharpened, "You could stand to be a little more gracious. This is your future emperor, and future husband might I add, kneeling for you on this dirty, depraved, derelict- ah–" Fernando tugged on his hair again and hissed, "Well then, why don't you show me how eager you are to perform your marital duties?" 
Seb licked his lips, completely unconcerned by Fernando's annoyance, and unbuttoned one side of the closure to Fernando's breeches and moved to open the other–
The door to the carriage flew open, arrival announcement dying on a wheezing breath as the servant took in the image the two kings made. One splayed across the seat, exuding power, the other kneeled, debauched, between the former's legs. 
One would be hard pressed to determine which was higher on the totem of power and titles. 
There was something gratifying about this to Fernando, about being caught. He had been humiliated enough throughout the entire courtship, what was one more thing? And, certainly, what was one more thing if he could drag Sebastian down into the dirt with him. 
"Oh Mark, don't act so abashed! It's nothing you haven't seen before, in fact, we have been in this very position not even a fortnight ago!"
Oh. Yes. That. 
It was hard to be completely pleased when he remembered how Sebastian had already spent years prior to their engagement sampling the palace's ample selection of fellow high-born men. And how all those men seemed to be completely and utterly wrapped around his little finger.
Fernando released his hand from Sebastian's hair as if it had burned him. He did not understand why he felt ashamed with Mark looking in on them like this. Fernando was the one marrying Sebastian, not Mark; Mark was just a lowly courtier who had the esteemed duty of spending practically every waking hour with the brat…something he himself was decidedly not looking forward to. 
Sebastian stayed kneeling, staring impassively up at Mark, still fiddling with the clasp on Fernando's breeches. Fernando gritted his teeth and looked up from where he was watching Sebastian's clever little hands; Mark stared back at him placidly. 
Mark's indifference made the entire situation worse. Fernando now felt as if he was not doing anything unique, not doing anything particularly new. How many other men had Mark caught Seb with in this exact position? Fernando felt like he was just another plaything of the boy king, soon to be boy emperor, except his position was forever, permanent. He was the "Kept King", the king who only kept his throne due to the whims of a boy who doesn't even understand what power is.
Mark coughed, "Well," he says, "Your Majesty, I do believe you have a meeting to attend." Seb pouted at him and whined, "We were just getting to the main course," but still braced himself on Fernando's thighs and got up off the carriage floor. 
Seb pranced down the steps Mark had placed next to the carriage, miming tripping sown the stairs, snickering when his action made Mark reflexively reach out to grab him, and then playfully skipped off the final step. 
Fernando couldn't help but stare as Mark made the weirdest grimace in response, and he inexplicably felt all his mortification seep away from him. Huh. Maybe Mark is-
Seb then turned around and frowned at him, seemingly disappointed, but his eyes are deceivingly sharp, "Fernando, I regret to inform you that I have other duties I must attend to, you will simply have to wait." He then grinned up at Mark next to him and giggled as the other man stiffened when Sebastian looped both of his arms through Mark's. 
He leaned all his weight on the other man, Mark not so much as shifting his weight, "Oh Mark, won't you carry me back to the palace? I'm so very tired after all the horse riding," Seb looked up at him imploringly.
Fernando observed as Mark rolled his eyes and shrugged off the man, though notably not pulling his arm from Seb's grasp, and he got the distinct feeling that this exact scene had been played out countless times before. 
Fernando clenched his jaw as he watched Seb turn and saunter off, Mark trotting alongside him like a loyal dog. Fernando was supposed to be the unaffected one in this partnership, the unflustered one, the unconcerned one. And yet here he stood, in broad daylight, in a foreign kingdom, on the steps of a carriage with his breeches half unbuttoned and his cravat in disarray. 
He heard a cough from beside him, jolted and looked to the side. Sebastian's loyal Horse Master stood there, lounging against the side of the carriage. Fernando had forgotten who had even been driving the carriage in the first place. After Seb has let himself be pushed down, his hair still windswept from their ride together, everything else seemed to fade away. His thoughts were reduced only to how he could mess up the younger man's hair further. 
Jenson grinned at him wolfishly, and casually crossed his legs,  "First time?" he inquired. Fernando glared at him. The other man laughed openly at him, "What? He's a busy man with big prospects. You're not his majesty's only conquest, you know. Now your throne on the other hand…"
Fernando seethed, it was one thing to be humiliated by the future emperor, but to be patronized by the king's horse boy? No. It would simply not do. He closed his eyes in annoyance, pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaled, and prepared a speech about how he was not about to be talked down to by a man who didn't even have a throne to speak of! 
But when he opened his eyes again and opened his mouth to begin his tirade, Jenson was already wandering away to tend to the horses. Dios mío, Fernando was not mentally prepared to spend the rest of his life with all of these impertinent morons. 
#i love how i kept saying to people: no no i shant write any fic for this. only art.#me like two weeks later: hey guys :)#this is just: i was sitting in class and had a drawing idea but then im obv not drawing *this* in class so my brain went into narrative mod#not exactly 'baby's first ficlet!!!' but moreso ive not written in a while so i hope its alright???#but aaahhh this was actually pretty fun!! idk i think it was bcs i was also being brainrotted by the image of seb kneeling....#maybe ill draw it. but it felt like something that needed the context of narrative and not just oo here is a drawing!#anyways you can always ask me for a directors cut-(PLEASE PLEAE BEGGING PLEASE)#see this is why im not cut out for writing fic#its not like i dont think it can speak for itself. more that im just an overly reflective person who wants to explain all my thoughts#if i wrote fic itd really be just: chapter 1. chapter 1.5 chapter 2. chapter 2.5#anyways i think its pretty obvious but this is before their wedding and just like peak bitterness.#well not peak. peak would be the first year- first few months of their marriage#but this is fernando who is only just realizing how naive all his expectations of seb were and getting a glimpse of his future#but mostly: mindgames and power play and: whos actually really winning?#also my god jense is literally the best chara in this au. he is vibing and basically just witnessing ye olde reality tv#mark and fernando are always in a weird powerplay with seb(even if seb isnt even consiously doing so) and jense is just free from it all#hmm now how does one go about tagging fic#vettonso#f1 fanfic#formula 1 fanfic#f1#formula 1#martian#sebmark#also idk why im always so concerned abt tagging when im basically just writing this for my little boy king following i have somehow formed#hahaha! it is art to me!:#catie.art.#boy king au

win for the gozu and mezu fandom. ill have time to clean up+post this within a month
#nurarihyon no mago#gozumaru#mezumaru#should i look at the story crafting as a whole and write about the narrative purposes gozu and mezu serve? yes. will i? no#something something foil.#actually i had the words in my head until i typed that out and then i forgot them all#gozu is there on nejireme to trigger rikuos awakening mezu is probably just there to give the rest of the cast something to do#see the problem with this is the zone i care about is so narrow. i dont want to look at the big picture even if itsto see the shapes of my#little pieces better. the big picture is not my little guys.#in spy arc theyre used for like .. exposition and mostly showing how fucked up tamazuki is#you could say gozu loses to rikuo on nejireme because rikuo is in the thematic right for not disliking everyone#and wanting them to Fuck Off TM#actually i think. it was more a refutation of gozus attitude towards strength. (im going off of memory here ok) gozu implies/sees#that having strength is what gives people worth. or something similar. the main house losers arent strong;he thinks; so theyre not worthy#of bossing him around#'why did i lose to you; who arent even a full yokai' how are you stronger than me. how have my convictions in strength failed me. i think.#rikuo winning is about refuting this. the strong have power so they can protect the weak/ create a world in which the weak can thrive#is the general platform i think#something something edo yokai are the fireworks in the night#related; gyuki clan mentality seems to be a nice bridge between the 'edo vs kyoto' mentalities in human policy#(gyuki clan territory is the border between them/ furthest nura territory in that direction)#geographically theres a scale there and the gyuki clan literally middles it#time to copy paste this into my slideshow.

SKZ Headcanons
AKA a random Most to Least likely list with random SFW and NSFW scenarios I thought of. AKA a quick writing exercise to get me back in the groove.
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: these are all heacanons based on my opinions. Its fine if you have a different opinion, in fact id be interested to hear if you guys agree or disagree with my choices and why.
Tumblr media
SFW
Ask Random Questions:
Felix, Jisung, Hyunjin - The three most likely to ask you if youd still love them if they were a worm. They love debating random scenarios. "Would you prefer to fight 100 tiny spiders or 1 massive spider?" Will think about their answer as if its a real life situation.
Changbin, Chan - Dont just randomly ask questions out of the blue, but when it gets dark and its quiet, they might be the kind to ask deep thoughts. "Do you think there's life after death?" Also more likely to humor you if you ask them a random silly question.
Seugmin, Minho, Jeongin - Most likely to just google whatever questions they might have. They'll have deep thoughts here or there, but you'll only ever hear them after they've come to their own conclusions. Will not indulge you with silly questions.
Get shy when you compliment them:
Chan - Full on hides his face, gets all red, smiling like the cutie he is. Cannot take a compliment to save his life.
Jisung, Jeongin, Seungmin - Wont get overly shy, but they will enjoy it greatly. Will try to play it cool, but deep down, you know they're blushing, kicking their feet and giggling.
Minho*, Hyunjin, Felix - More likely to just own it. Will get smiley, say thank you, maybe a little smirk if they're feeling confident. Its rare for them to get shy about compliments
(*Minhos chances of getting shy with a compliment jumps to 90% if stated in front of a group of people)
Play with your hair:
Hyunjin, Felix - Avid hair lovers. They love running their fingers through it, braiding and brushing if its long enough, and if you ever get the chance to shower with them, they'll 100% offer to wash your hair.
Jeongin, Jisung, Minho, Changbin, Chan, Suengmin - Not actively searching for opportunities to play with your hair, but will occasionally run their fingers through it if your lay your head on their lap, lean against them, or if they're just in the mood
Use Pet Names:
Jisung, Hyunjin, Chan - No explanation needed. All of them actively use pet names and terms of endearment with members/STAY already
Minhi, Felix - Will use the occasional pet name jokingly, or if you use pet names with them, but they might not stick to it all the time.
Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongin - Likely to use a term of endearment, but it usually sticks to one, and only when around close friends.
Hold your hand under the table:
Felix, Hyunjin, Jisung - hopless romantics. Will 100% give up the ability to eat if it means getting to hold your hand.
Minho - Will hold your hand, but demands you feed him. Wont let go when you try to pull away.
Chan, Changbin, Seungmin, Jeongin- not opposed to the idea of holding your hand, but the practicality of eating wins out in the end. Will still hold your hand after eating if you ask.
Tumblr media
NSFW
Sexting:
Chan, Felix - its not a question of if, but when.
Seungmin, Jeongin, Jisung - surprisingly open to it, but probably wont innitiate it themselves (unless they're really desperate).
Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin - More likely to want to have you physically with them. If they're far away, they prefer video chat over texting.
'Accidentally' turn you on:
Jeongin, Chan - Little shits who know the power they hold. 'Oh, just wiping some sweat off my forehead with the bottom of my shirt. Oh, im sorry, did that turn you on?' Will give you a knowing look that has you dragging them to the nearest empty room.
Minho, Felix, Hyunjin - Little shits 2.0, but they're even more subtle to the point you cant actually tell they're doing it on purpose. But wont hesitate to take you the moment you're alone, and yup, they were doing it on purpose.
Jisung, Seungmin, Changbin - genuinely dont understand the power they hold. Will be baffled when you get mad at them for teasing you, because they had no idea they were. Will still help you out anyways (who are they to turn down an opportunity)
Fuck in the shower:
Changbin - Fuck safety, this man can keep you both upright. Favorite place to have sex, loves the manhandling and the convenience. If you step in the shower with him, you're getting dicked down 100%
Chan, Felix, Jisung, Minho, Huunjin - Love the idea of it, but reality is its harder than you think. You're not getting any freaky tricky moves. Maybe a blowjob, some fondling, but they're more likely to pull you out and get you on a bed if you really beg for it.
Seungmin, Jeongin - you're more likely to get some action on the bathroom floor than in the shower with these two. They prefer to keep things in the bedroom.
Use toys:
Jisung, Felix, Hyunjin- not only do they have toys, but they're just as likely to use them on themselves as to use them on you. Almost every session will involve a toy of some sort.
Minho, Chan, Seungmin- Firm believer that toys are simply an extension of the person. Wont hesitate to use them in the bedroom, but are more likely to try and get you off themselves first.
Jeongin, Changbin - not opposed to using toys, but chances are they dont have them and probably havent considered using them during sex.
Roleplay:
Chan - has already done roleplay with his fans on bubble. Someone get this man a girlfriend, istg.
Hyunjin - My mans an artist. A performer. A man who gives 100%. If he hasnt tried role-playing during sex at least once, ill eat my socks.
Jisung, Felix - willing to give it a try. I think their enjoyment of it will depend on the scenario they're trying out.
Changbin, Minho, Seungmin, Jeongin - not opposed to it, but will probably forget the scenario they're in while having sex, so it wont last long.

About An Official Spiderverse Artist...
Please do not just scroll past this post; read it.
If you guys follow me on twitter, you probably already know.
But if you dont or still want to read this anyway - here you go:
I aint big, but I got a growing platform that I see as important for me to use as a force for things that matter.
So here I am.
And I got something to say about a certain "artist".
There are so many fucked up people who call themselves artists who are so heavily worshipped by us who both get and or dont get outed in the world for things they do and for their general piss-poor behaviours and persons.
Im here to talk about one in particular (and certainly wont be the last).
There is an artist that basically EVERYONE here has seen art from before, printed in the official Sony artbooks too.
If you have seen this:
Tumblr media
Then you have seen this artist before.
His name is Alberto Mielgo. He goes by @/pinkman_himself on twitter.
He is a HUGE part of the art direction and stylisation of the spiderverse movies, if that isnt already obvious. Because he was the former original art director of Into The Spiderverse.
Yes. Former.
Cuz he got "mYsTeRiOuSlY fiReD" from Sony 2 years into pre-production and completely removed from the project.
You may have also seen this character before:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes. THAT asian character from Netflix's Love Death + Robots, from the episode "The Witness".
Familiar? Yeah. Because this episode was also made by the same guy, Mielgo.
I aint going to talk about what happens in that episode and hesitate to encourage anyone to watch it - cuz all it basically is is a megalo-misogynistic, assault "glorified for the sake of aRtT", racially fetishised showcase of this crazy makeup/haired bdsm stereotyped asian girl sex worker who essentially gets murdered over and over and over after running for her life completely naked through the city for all of us to see for some fucking reason.
BUt yeah anyways, you can see it in the first pic, but Ill put it here to show more clearly - this here is NOT the character from LDR. But I can understand why you might think so:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah. You read that name in the bottom right corner correctly. This is Peni Parker. His concept art of Peni Parker. A 13 YEAR OLD CHILD. Lookin suspiciously like and dressed as the adult person from LDR with ALSO the crazy hair, make up - WITH AN O-RING CHOKER AND BALL-GAG LIPSTICK (BDSM).
13. year. old. child.
This man only sees east asian women this way.
He likes them crazy, sexy, broken--
and young.
Cuz this man also wrote this on a now-deleted post on his website:
Tumblr media
Yeah. He, this whole ass middle-aged white cishet male spaniard thirstin for kids since he was 18 for 12 year old girls.
Cuz 12 year old girls are a fuckin "KNOCK OUT" when they grow up, when they ripen up into adulthood, to this man Alberto Mielgo, aka @/pinkman_himself, this creature.
And if auctioning NFTs isnt bad enough (cuz yes, ofc he does that too - its literally the first option on his website) -
His entire fucking portfolio is of drawing women he had sex with.
His fucking PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO is all of painting and drawing women in very compromising, questionable ways of the VERY SAME WOMEN HE HAD SLEPT WITH THROUGH HIS LIFE.
They look as creepy as they are.
But the scariest part?
While I myself had only just found out about this some days ago as of writing this, some of us have known about this man and his antics for years.
And he keeps getting greenlit by the industry, over and over and over; winning awards, getting respected, praised, admired, even by fellow at-home artists like many of you out there if you dont already do so.
And nothing will happen to him cuz he is a white cishet male artist who has money and a following and connections and influence and power.
So yeah.
I just wanted to talk about a certain official Spiderverse artist to just let yall know there are freaks everywhere, and that no matter how small it is, it's people like me and you who need to do what we can to keep up awareness and warn our communities and protect our most vulnerable.
My suggestion is to take heed of what I said, ask questions about everything you will ever see again from anyone around you, no less the industry, THINK for once, and actually give a fuck.
Keep away.
Do not support this man.
But the decision is ultimately yours.
Stay awake, yall.

hi love! can you write a dark lando (maybe mafia, up to u) smutty fic with a sweet innocent reader who is redbulls first driver. corruption kink is appreciated but you dont have to if you dont want to. thanks love!
Tumblr media
A Dangerous Game
i do not know how to write smut at all. this is my first and perhaps only attempt.
The night was thick with tension, the kind of weight that clung to the air when power and danger were at play.
The city, glittering under the veil of neon lights, was a world you weren’t supposed to be a part of. But here you were, Red Bull’s prized driver, standing at the edge of something much darker than any race track.
Lando Norris had always been a mystery to you. On the surface, he was the charming young driver with an infectious smile, the one who could win over anyone with a few words. But beneath that veneer, there was something else—a cold, calculating edge that hinted at a life of secrets and blood.
You knew what he was capable of, but you had never imagined that you would be swept into his world.
It started innocently enough.
A brief encounter at a race afterparty, a whispered conversation between the two of you when your paths crossed. It was easy to forget that this man wasn’t like the others.
That his charm wasn’t just a tool—it was a weapon.
But even as you felt yourself drawn to him, something inside of you screamed to be cautious.
The mafia world wasn’t one that let go of people easily.
The music throbbed in the background as you found yourself at the center of attention, the Red Bull team celebrating a victory.
Lando was there too, his presence inescapable. He leaned against the bar, his eyes never straying too far from you.
You could feel them on you, the intensity of his gaze sending an unexpected shiver down your spine.
Finally, he approached.
“Can I buy you a drink?” His voice was smooth, almost too smooth, and his lips curled into a devilish smile that sent a surge of heat straight to your core.
You hesitated, a strange tension building in your chest. “What’s the catch?”
Lando chuckled, stepping closer. “No catch. I just like making deals with the right people.”
His eyes darkened, the playful façade slipping for a moment as his gaze swept over you. “And I think you’re someone who understands the value of a deal.”
You didn’t want to admit it, but the words he spoke tugged at something inside you.
You were a driver, someone who thrived on risk, someone who knew how to navigate danger.
But Lando, with his half-smile and dangerous aura, was a risk unlike any other.
“Alright,” you finally said, stepping forward.
“One drink.”
The moment your fingers brushed the glass he handed you, you could feel the shift in the air.
It wasn’t just the alcohol; it was the unspoken promise in his eyes.
As the night wore on, the conversation became less about racing and more about…everything else.
Lando’s words were layered with something darker, more compelling.
You knew you were walking a fine line, but you couldn’t pull away.
“I know what you’re thinking,” he said low, his lips brushing against your ear as you leaned into the bar, close enough that his breath sent tingles down your neck.
“You’re wondering how deep this rabbit hole goes.
But I can assure you, once you’re in, there’s no way out.”
You swallowed, unsure of what to say. The words hung between you like a challenge, a promise, and a warning all at once.
His fingers grazed your wrist, just enough to send a spark of heat through your body. “I’ve seen what you can do on the track. But here, it’s a different kind of race.”
You met his gaze, searching for any hint of vulnerability, but there was none.
Lando was a man who thrived on control, and he was determined to pull you into his world, whether you were ready or not.
The next few weeks blurred into a haze of late-night meetings and whispered conversations. Every time you saw Lando, the pull between you grew stronger.
The way his hands would brush against yours, the fleeting moments when his eyes would darken with unspoken intent—it was impossible to ignore.
But the deeper you got into his world, the more you understood the danger that came with it. His connections, the dark web of deals and threats that kept him in power, were not things to take lightly.
And yet, you couldn’t seem to pull away.
One evening, as you entered a discreet underground club—a place you’d never imagine stepping into—you found Lando waiting for you in a private booth.
The dim lighting only accentuated the tension in the room. His gaze was fixed on you, not a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
The mafia life was something you couldn’t understand fully, but you knew one thing: it was intoxicating.
“You look out of place here,” he murmured, eyes scanning your outfit—a little too innocent for this kind of crowd.
“Maybe I like being out of place,” you shot back, heart pounding as you took a seat across from him.
Lando’s lips twitched into a smile. “Careful, sweetheart. You keep playing with fire, and one day, you’ll get burned.”
The air between you crackled with something primal. Something dangerous. But you didn’t care. You wanted to play this game.
And Lando? He was a master at it.
That night, you found yourself alone with him in one of the back rooms, the heavy scent of danger lingering in the air.
He didn’t need to say a word to make it clear what he wanted. Lando was a man who took what he wanted—no questions, no hesitation. And as his lips found yours, you felt your resolve shatter.
You had always been in control on the track, always aware of the stakes. But with Lando, the game had changed. You were no longer the one in control. You were the prey, and he was the predator.
His touch was possessive, hungry, and you couldn’t bring yourself to pull away.
Every brush of his fingers sent sparks through your body, igniting something inside you that you had never felt before.
As Red Bull’s first driver, you were used to the limelight, the pressure, the expectations. But tonight… tonight felt different.
Tonight, you were following Lando Norris, the man whose reputation for coldness and ruthlessness ran as deep as the shadows he kept.
“You’ve been so innocent, so pure. I think it’s time I corrupted you. Show you what the real world is like… where power and desire rule everything.”
You shivered, feeling both a sense of dread and excitement stir within you. His words were like a drug, dangerous but irresistible.
You tried to remind yourself that you were Red Bull’s first driver, that you had goals, a future. But every time Lando looked at you, those thoughts seemed to fade, replaced by a hunger you couldn’t explain.
your legs weak beneath you as if your body knew exactly where this was going.
The soft click of your heels echoed in the empty space as you trailed behind him, your heart pounding with anticipation.
He led you into a private elevator that descended deep into the heart of the city.
It was quiet, too quiet. And in that silence, Lando’s gaze never left you, his eyes intense, watching you like a hawk.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a lavish, dimly lit room that looked like something out of a nightmare. Velvet curtains lined the walls, and candles flickered on every surface, casting long shadows that seemed to stretch toward you. A heavy scent of expensive cologne mixed with something darker in the air.
You froze. “Lando… what is this?”
“This is where you’ll learn what it means to belong to me,” he said softly, his voice a low, dangerous whisper. “No more pretending, sweetheart. You’ve been playing the innocent driver for too long. It’s time for you to understand who really holds the power here.”
Before you could respond, he closed the distance between you, his hand snaking around your waist, pulling you close. You could feel the heat of his body against yours, the tension in the air thick enough to suffocate you. His other hand cupped your chin, tilting your head up to meet his gaze.
Lando’s lips hovered just above yours, his breath hot against your skin. “You’re mine now,” he whispered. “And tonight, I’m going to make sure you understand exactly what that means.”
His lips crashed against yours, hungry, desperate, as if he’d been waiting for this moment for a long time.
His kiss was nothing like the innocent ones you were used to. It was rough, demanding, his tongue probing your mouth with an authority that made your knees weak. His hands roamed over your body, leaving a trail of heat in their wake, and before you could protest, he was lifting you up effortlessly, carrying you.
Later, as you lay next to him in the dim glow of the room, you realized something you hadn’t expected. You were no longer just the innocent driver from Red Bull. You had crossed a line, and now, there was no turning back.
Lando’s world was your world now. And it was darker, more dangerous, and more thrilling than anything you had ever known.
But there was a price. And sooner or later, you would pay it.

yandere fae that’s been pestering you for weeks, trying to get your name. you deny him at every turn. that is, until he has his head between your legs and you, intoxicated by the aphrodisiac that is his saliva, tell him while you’re on the precipice of an orgasm. he wins three prizes that day. the utterance of your name, the taste of your sweet essence, and the honor of fucking you.
as far as he’s concerned, you’re his now. that much is proven by how he jackrabbits into you, stretching each vowel of your name out with every thrust.
— (yandere fae oc anon)
omfg anon- are you secretly a huge writer holy shit this is fucken graphic (in the best way possible)
i don’t write smut on this blog because kids here are blind to mdni + tumblr is oddly on my dick when it comes to explicit posts in comparison to other writers/blogs, so this would have been better to send to @yoru-no-seiiki but I’ll give ya’ll this :
I think it’d be pretty funny for a trans reader / reader with a dead name to be paired with him. Like I’m pretty sure the creator of the fae myth didn’t really account the fact that people might identify better with another name so much so that it would be more powerful than their were given at birth.
or an orphan reader with no name to identify with at all. maybe raised by other mythical creatures that specifically kept them unnamed to protect them from the fae
butttt their lack of name became the very reason that the fae is so attached to the reader, to the point of fervent worship.
like it started from being a small, insignificant get together until it became something much much more (to both the fas and the reader)
whole ass that one hamilton line “i wish i could say that was the last time, i said that the last time it became a pasttime”
and whenever you wanted to create some distance between the two of you, the fae just uses their powers to either make your mind go wonky / forget, or just plain assault and break all the boundaries you set.
gaslight, girlkeep, girlboss king.
you may think one thing…
no you actually dont. you just dont.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally got around to drawing Élodie! The last artwork i did makes her look scary lol but shes a cutie pie trust me.
Some info about her:
She does ballet. She dislikes it though, and only does it because she’s forced to. She doesn’t want to be under the spotlight doing the jumps and twirls. Rather, she wants to be the one behind the camera lens, the one over the keyboard writing article after article about ballet.
Her hobby is photography. Her parents dont approve, but her older brother helps her out by getting her an early internship at the magazine where he works. Through this internship is where she will first meet adrien.
She’s a mean ass bitch lol. Has absolutely zero friends because she hates everyone at school. Alya specifically hates her the most because when she came up to Élodie to ask her if she wanted to help her with the school paper (since she knows the girl also likes journalism), Élodie just gave her a rude look and walked away, earning alyas scorn ever since haha
This isnt just some quirk, its one of her biggest problems, along with her temper. She sees people as nuisances and beneath her, ignoring the fact that she needs people in her life. Her journey —aided by her kwami— will be to be truer to herself, and learn tolerance and altruism, and be more accepting of people’s friendship.
Her favorite thing in the world is chocolate. Its an actual obsession, something her parents dont approve of (shocker) because she “has to keep her figure”. But she ignores them, and keeps a stash of it on her at all times.
The second picture is what i think she’d look like if she switched her miraculous (Élodie says she hates the bows but the girly girl inside her is jumping for joy).
Alternate Universe details under the cut!
So basically, élodie is from my enhance mlb au thats been spinning in my head recently. It’s basically a mix of early seasons miraculous and concept mlb.
It’s unlikely that this will ever be anything but a concept au bc i have commitment issues but-
Here are the things i changed/added (when it comes to the heroes):
I always thought that lb’s miraculous ladybug power shouldnt be exclusive to her, so i removed it in favor of bringing back her concept powers (the shapeshifting yoyo). In the case of cn, i gave him his old power of black hole because why the hell does he have one power????
But this poses a problem— who will cleanse the akumas? Thats where élodie comes in!
For context, in this au Ladybug and Chat Noir are WAYYYY more chaotic:
Ladybug is still the planner, but her plans are way crazier and confusing to carry out. She gets so caught up in her imagination and idea of a plan, that she fails to consider what might happen if it goes wrong.
Chat Noir is more destructive, more trigger happy with his cataclysm. He finally gets to be free of his dad breathing down his neck and he’ll he damned if he won’t enjoy it!
Élodie as Cigognelle will be the mediator between them. She makes sure the balance is kept, and that they dont blow up the world while theyre trying to save it. That is the purpose of the crane miraculous. It has the power of reguvination and longevity. The balance is preserved, lengthened, and anomalies are corrected.
Its power of increasing its holder’s lifespan made it a favorite of guardians, including Master Fu.
Its kwami, Xiann, is wise and all knowing, often picking his own holders. He sees potential in them, and aids them into becoming true cranes — true upholders of the balance between creation and destruction.
To summarize, here are the big 3’s powers. There will be primary, secondary, and passive powers for each.
Ladybug:
Primary: Lucky Charm, gives the holder clues to help them win the battle. Same as the og.
Secondary: bug bomb/shield/staff. Its in the name, the holder can transform the yoyo into one of these weapons. They can only transform it once each battle, so ladybugs must carefully choose which one will aid them. This doesn’t mean it cant go back to its og form, just that it cant turn into a bomb AND a shield in the same battle.
Passive: grants good luck to its holder. No downsides, ladybugs really are just blessed.
Oh and for fun lets give them side effects.
Side effect: holders become far more tired in the winter, sleeping longer.
Black Cat:
Primary: Cataclysm, destroys anything the holder touches, turning it into dust. Also no change.
Secondary: Black hole. The black cat holder can teleport objects from one black hole to the next. Only two black holes can be present at the same time.
Passive: grants bad luck to its holder. This causes a lot of strife for the holders, but once they learn to accept their miraculous the bad luck will lessen, though never fading.
Side effect: black cats become more nocturnal after becoming the holders of this miraculous, and may or may not have a strange fascination with small, moving objects…. (They have enough self restraint to not chase after them though…)
Crane:
Primary: Ameliorate, which heals all damage caused by unnatural forces, such as kwami powers. However, if the damage from the fight happened too long ago, it will be considered a part of the natural environment, and will only restore future damage up to that point.
Secondary: Gust. Allows the holders to create powerful wind gusts with a flap of their “wings”. Only three gusts can be created each battle (because i had to give this power a downside)
Passive: extends its holder’s lifespan by 20 and up to 40 years. Depending on how long it takes the crane holder to become a true crane, their life span will either increase by a bit (if they learn sooner) or by a BUNCH (if its later).
Side effect: lying becomes way harder, and honesty — especially to oneself — will be all that the holders can say. Also, cranes often find themselves becoming more sociable after gaining their miraculous, which is often a shock since most cranes start of as quite antisocial.
All three can cleanse akumas but only the crane can restore damage !
And thats all!!
This formatting was horrible but i didnt plan any of this, its all word vomit LOL. If you have any thoughts about this, or any way my au can be improved (bc im really trying to make sure all protagonists get equal importance and care, i don’t want Cigognelle to be a mary sue lol) please make a comment! I dont have anyone thinking this up with me, its all from my noggin, so feedback is always welcome!

The lin kuei trio + johnny,raiden and kung lao with a figure skating reader?⛸️
──★ ˙ ̟The Lin kuei trio + Johnny, Raiden and Kung lao x GN! Figure skating reader
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Bi-han ✦ 」
* Ok i known it might seem obvious that ice powers = good at figure skating but i dont think Bi han is good at it…like at all
* I don’t know this idea is kinda funny to me he tries ,then fails, gets mad and says he’ll never do it again ( if you plead with him enough he’ll try and the cycle repeats)
* Just like with the skater headcanon he has to watch from the sidelines
* Tho as an act of service (hc: his love language) he cleans your skates, makes sure they are up to code and sharpens them.
* Like with Thomas back in they’re childhood he helps you practice by changing the ground into ice.
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Kuai liang ✦ 」
* I would say Kua liang is decent at figure skating. Not disastrous like Bi han but also not 10/10 like Thomas
* He enjoys just skating in circles slowly while talking to you
* Just make sure to help him if he ever falls down so that he doesn’t melt the ice out of embarrassment
* He tries to attend every competition that your in but if he’s busy he leaves some flowers and a note for you
* Is the most supportive partner ever gives hugs, kisses, praises and so on after shows.
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Smoke/Thomas ✦ 」
*As stated in Kuai liangs sections he’s a GOD at figure skating, it’s practically his secret talent
* Both of you tend to get competitive and try to out do each other
*He sometimes overdoes the spins in an effort to win against you and makes himself dizzy
* During his childhood would pleade with Bihan to turn the ground to ice so he could practice (Bi han caved but then messed with Thomas and made him fall)
* Like Kuai liang he tries to show up to every competition that your in. Even makes those supportive homemade posters
* He tends to embarrass you sometimes but it’s out of love so you can’t get mad at him.
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Johnny Cage ✦ 」
* If you compete in any skating competitions your trophies go next to his
* He even sometimes cleans them for you
* Is always posting pictures or videos of either you performing or practicing to his socials
* You now have stan accounts dedicated to you and your carrier thanks to him
* If he ever has to play a roll that includes figure skating your phone better NOT be on silent because your the first person he’s calling up
* Takes you ice skates and costume shopping and yes he does get you custom everything as a surprise
Tumblr media
「 ✦ Raiden ✦ 」
* I feel like Raiden is less than average when it comes to figure skatting
* He doesn’t fall on his ass all the time but he still has to use a skating aid or hold on to you
* Like Kuai liang likes just slow skatting around the ring and talking or in silence while taking in your presence
* After competitions takes you to Madam Bo’s even if you didn’t win he still wants to show that you should still be proud of yourself
* Once your done with practice if he sees that your cold he gives you his jacket and always carries a thermos with hot tea to keep you warm.
Tumblr media
(Oh my god this gif)
「 ✦ Kung lao ✦ 」
* Tries to act like he isn’t but he’s scared
* After a bit of practice slowly starts to get the hang of things
* Once he’s good enough to be on his own first thing he learns is how to do a hockey stop just to annoy you
* Always brags to people about how cool you are and the amount of awards you’ve won
* Tried to write a message for you on ice ussing his hat but forgot that the skattes also leave marks so it just ended up being unreadable (you still appreciate the thought at least)
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
And another request done ! I had so much fun with this one like my brain was filled with ideas i managed to finish this in only a day and again i really enjoys doing this one :3

I HAVE AN IDEAAAAAA!!!
okay so like, what if there was a reader who was like really happy-go-lucky and kind and what-not but when it comes to battle or sparing they are a BEAST!!! i mean DISRESPECTFUL, folding people like HOT OMELETS IN A PAN! i also like to think what if this reader has a quirk thats like toph from atla and they know like reaaaally rare earth bending techniques like bone-bending and lava bending. how do you think yandere class 1a would react?
btw you dont have to write anything 4 this(though it would be a bit cool if u did, no pressure ofc!!!) i just wanted to share the thoughts in my noggin
(NOTTHEHOTOMELETOMG 😭 y'all are insane)
Tumblr media
•You had a very powerful quirk which was earth bending you had telekinesis and were able to control earth like dirt, and sand, and mentally your quirk was considered dangerous and very powerful but despised that you were the exact opposite you were a happy full of life always smiles and your classmates and some of the teachers love about you
•Your classmates would do anything to protect that beautiful smile of yours they would even fight to the death if that was the final result to make you happy, even in the darkest times you still were always positive and made everyone's day whenever someone was down you made them happy with your silly jokes and encouragement
•you got along very well with the happy, and chaotic ones (Ochako, Kiri, Izuku, Sato, etc) izuku Was writing down everything about your amazing power he wishes to be a hero with you and to always protect you from wicked villains so he can be called your hero or how Kirishima would be your number one "Fan" whenever he always feel insecure your encouragement and compliments motivate him on making him blush making him mumble about how manly you are
•And You got along with the quiet ones as well (Shoto, Jirou, Kota, and Shoji, etc.) Jirou and you would join in and sing happy tunes and talk about your favorite genre and Shoto wanting to have his private therapy section with you because he's memorized your positive aura and words Kota loves when you hang out with his animals he almost cried tears of joy when he saw his pet rabbit resting on your lap he is just in AWE he took a lot of photos that day
•Now nobody saw you angry heck is it even possible to make you angry one time a person rudely shoved you all you did was shrugged it off and hummed your tune, If you were so close to winning a game and you lost at the last second you still would just be like "Oh well!" and just play it again, everyone was curious to see that unknown side was but didn't matter to them sicje they like seeing your smile
That's what they all thought
•One day you were fighting some villain for stealing some money when all of a sudden the villain punched you in the face you were ok and quickly recovered from it but you were PISSED because they broke your favorite hero helmet, you quickly zoomed over trying to hunt that villain down and beat the absolute SHIT out of them while saying saying words that they didn't expect for you to say such vulgar words
•Bakugo wasn't even shocked this dude was cheering for you while the rest of the squad jaws were wide open
•iida was even speechless he didn't even try to stop you just...observed you he was more worried for you then the poor dude gets beat
•Kirishima was just a mess he thinks your a absolute badass, He honestly loved this side of you
•Ochako was just eyes was just sparkling she wanted to hug you right you right then and there and asked to marry you
•While Izuku was shocked he was secretly fanboying dude was writing down this whole new side while giggling to himself he was gonna ask you a lot of questions after this
Aizawa was just shocked while the mic was paranoia mic was begging Shouta to use his bandages on you to restrain you but aizawa was just smirking telling him "Wait wait just a little more" but he had to restrain you cause he didn't want you to kill the poor dude

Happy new years 🎉 I wish you a great 2025
Ok with that outta the way, I made the horrific mistake of continuing my rewatch of op yesterday afternoon and finished marineford which is not a great way to spend the last day of the year with but that's on me
I usually am passive with the whole crocomom/dad theory with croc cuz I thought it was only based of that one iva line and thought haha let's add another potential mom to the list(mind you I first heard this theory when I was in wci so memories of marineford was spotty at that time)
Now on my rewatch when I'm not too focused on the anxiety and mourning of ace I'm now realized how ooc croc was after sengoku announced Luffy parentage
I just went ????!?!? HUH WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS FOR I DONT TRUST YOU WHAT
There's legit zero reason for him to kill the executioners much less help the whitebeards with akainu like zero reason
You couldn't even play off it's a 'pirate's pride' with croc like he said when he went to help the whitebeards and not letting the navy hunt down the pirate CUZ HE WAS A FORMER WARLORD HE DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT PIRATE PRIDE WHATSOEVER
And you couldn't even argue about it paying back a debt to Luffy cuz he technically did so already in impel down
It's just, it doesn't make any sense unless he has a very strong connection regarding Luffy parentage (regardless it's because he is mom or he owe someTHING to the revs)
Ughhhh my goddd, I don't even think it's a theory anymore, I truly believe crocomom is real now andjshfjsnfj
A happy New Year and a great 2025 to you too!
Crocodile's out of the ordinary behavior during the battle of Marineford is what many people who are aware of Crocodad cite as a main reason for why there could be some truth to the theory! I did read this "live" when it was released in but I didn't like Crocodile at that time so I don't remember what I thought about his motivations. I think the most surface level one is to just accept that what he says is true but it leaves a lot of questions because he goes above and beyond what is necessary to not let the marines win.
Not letting the marines win meant "save Ace, protect Luffy - carry the next generation into the new era". Considering his grudge against Whitebeard, him following his wishes all of a sudden seems strange. But if there was his own interest mixed into making sure Luffy lives... well.
(Sidenote: I like what you say about him not having any pirate pride. I think that's true. Judged by Miss Golden Week's power he still has or at least had dreams to be the king of pirates. But he doesn't do anything to achieve it, so I wonder what being king of pirates even meant to him. (It is Buggy of all people who gives him and Mihawk a lecture about them not being real pirates if I remember correctly.))
Crocodile comes across as a character who makes decisions based on strategic merit, not emotion. But when he saved Luffy, he was clearly upset, even more upset than when he saw WB stabbed by his own crew member. And even that kind of upset surprised a lot of people.
I did write about the specific moment that proceeds Crocodile starting his out of character actions and it is WB's speech about sons, about loving them unconditionally, about doing what it takes to preserve that life. He was talking about Ace and while Crocodile did save Ace, there is way more weight to him saving Luffy - the stakes are higher (it is against Akainu) and Crocodile appears emotionally invested in it as well. "If you want to protect something, do it right." He knows that this is his son/ someone he wants to protect for some reason. He didn't react the moment it was revealed that Dragon was his dad (we didn't see Crocodile's reaction to it, but he also didn't jump into action the second he heard), but only later, when WB made his speech which also seemed to rearrange Crocodile's priorities - he has to let go of the old wounds and old grudges that he's been carrying for decades. Maybe leaving his child behind has also been an old wound, never mind what the realization that he nearly killed him might have done to him. But Luffy's alive, he's here, he needs help and Crocodile is going to provide it.
Ah, I love thinking about this theory!
(Of course he could have other ties or debts to Dragon, or he could just have done it all because he somehow decided to let go of his grudge against WB and stand side by side with the WB pirates because he used to be one of them, but that doesn't bring me as much joy to think about. And while there might have been WB and Croc backstory, the point of revealing that Croc was part of his crew seems to have passed. The WB pirates are no more; they were defeated, we got to see some flashbacks and this chapter seems closed now. Of course Oda could just reveal it in a SBS later as he sometimes does with backstories he knows won't make it into the manga.)
This is quite rambly, my apologies X'D

ONYX STORM REVIEW + SPOILERS
now this book was incredible in many ways, and yall can say what you want, but i freaking loved it. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
I love how for most of this book, violet and the quest squad had ventured to the isle kingdoms. it was incredible world building as always, but also seeing how the world operates. violet was so badass in this i can’t even-
now, halden being revealed as her ex? not surprising but we love to see a jealous xaden. halden is also a prick so no complaints for violet breaking up with him.
what i didn’t expect was the pov’s from rhiannon and imogen. now im not complaining because it really made the end battle much more fleshed out. it really provided more insight into the battle, but also their characters.
now onto the topic of xaden… i was really expecting him to be cured, but im glad he wasn’t. DONT SUE ME!! rebecca yarros is not a predictable queen and we love her for it! it was interesting to see how he acted when tempted with that much power, and ultimately seeing him turn in his POV at the end of OS (also panchek being a traitor? WOW) he is still my ultimate shadow daddy, but just evil now.
another thing i love is that violet failed. multiple times. it’s not realistic when the heroine wins everytime. so when she failed to get the irids, some of the alliances and etc… it was good to see how she stood against that and how she made an outcome out of her situation. but i love how fleshed out violet is. we see her stand up and face against all odds time and time again. we see her really step into the character she needs to be.
now onto the ending… am i the only one confused by that bombshell?! first of all, it shocking when we find out that she doesn’t remember how she got back to the others, and i was confused. then! we find out that our shadow daddy venin xaden has MARRIED HER?!?!? (gorgeous ring though no complaints). then to top it off, imogen has erased her memories from that moment (which is odd?) and apparently, the 12 hours she was missing. (what the hell could they have been doing?!) then violet saying to imogen “what did you do?” and imogen replying “what you asked me to” did i miss something? what did violet ask imogen to do? AND xaden telling her not to look for him?!? a possible guess is that whatever violet saw in those twelve hours cause imogen to erase her memory.
all that said, i give this book 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. rebecca yarros did her big one! another phenomenal read. do i want to find her and demand answers? YEA! but now i have to stew on this for possibly another year (don’t remind me). BUT let’s respect the author and their mental health, so they can deliver another spectacular book, while being healthy! thank you rebecca for your spectacular writing and world you have introduced us to.

Gotta love the irony of Miraculous claiming "All it takes for evil to win is for good to do nothing" and then turning around and say "If you dont like us teaching countless of harmful messages to children so Marinette can be the ever-victim girboss ruler of the universe, then fuck you. You're wrong, you're an awful women hater (even if your a woman. That's the only reason you could take an issue with the story, you hate women) and if you want to watch this show in peace, you have to kneel and surrender your moral code to what WE tell you is right (for Marinette)"
Miraculous, I thought I was SUPPOSED to think for myself and speak up when I see injustice and people being harmed for someone's ego? Why did you lie to me when I was a kid? Marinette doesnt care for justice, she's self-righteous and now always puts herself first. If looking away benefits her, she'll always do it and only sobs little "sowwys" when things go bad, but then mostly only really cares about making sure SHE gets out of it best as possible. Sure, she's doing her best, but clearly much more the best FOR HERSELF then anyone else. Since s4 she stopped caring for justice once she isnt the one getting the most out of it.
She was upset that saying "I forgive you" to Alya at the end of Strike Back didnt make Alya put her life and loved ones on the line just so Marinette can continue having Rena Rouge. Just wanted her to keep the Miraculous, expecting that Alya too agrees that Marinette's feelings were all that mattered in Hawkmoth knowing Rena's identity. She "forgives" her, so Alya may risk and loose everything now. Poor Marinette, Alya didnt agree that Mari's forgiveness was all that mattered :'(
She never tried giving her friends or teachers real reasons to believe her about Lila, she just wanted them to believe her whim and punish and bully the new girl bc Marinette said so. Sure doesnt sound like Marinette dislikes abuse of power and bullying, she just wants to be the one to decide who "deserves" it.
And Cat Noir we dont need to explain, I'll do it anyway. Marinette is nothing but selfish when it comes to Cat to a level that honestly were impressive if it wasnt so horrible in a kids show. I have never seen such an awful and selfish leader and partner who then has herself nothing but rewarded for not giving a shit beyond the barest minimum and being a toxic to outright abusive hypocrite as long as she says "I'm sowwy, I'm just so blameless and correct :'( and you're wrong and need to do better and take care of me for unfairly making me feel NOT like a Queen :'( Oh no! I'm so awful! But, like, only in the really flawless way where you have to do all the effort or else I'll get upsette"
That's no hero, no role model, no loving partner both romantic and platonic, and sure no ruler of the universe.
Dont tell children to care about Justice and then punish them for doing so.
---
Yeah, the reason I say that the writing feels like Miraculous writers are punishing people for disagreeing or liking non-Marinette characters too much is specifically because of how utterly everything about the show and its actual, established moral code falls apart as soon as your suspension of disbelief is broken by one of the many, many, many, many breakdowns of its internal logic. This show is agonizing to watch when you aren't part of the segment of the audience the writers’ priorities cater to. When you aren’t excusing and forgiving everything the writers mess up, watching the show feels like a punishment.
Because, yeah, it’s about caring about the wrong thing. Caring about justice, when the writer’s want you to care only about Marinette’s personal justice. Caring about consistency when the only consistent thing is how far the writers are willing to bend things to excuse Marinette. Caring about any character besides Marinette, when the writers only care about Marinette. Caring about seeing a cute wholesome romance, when the only romance is the most toxic depiction of soulmates possibly ever seen.
There’s so much you have to ignore to just enjoy this show anymore, and it would be ridiculous if it wasn’t so depressing. And, because this show refused to conclude any of its arcs before it decided to turn them all into nightmare versions of the show you thought you were watching, going back to watch those old episodes also makes you feel like there’s this inky doom hanging over all the characters and their arcs. It's like peering behind the veil; you’ve seen something you shouldn't have and the normal doesn't feel normal anymore.

i have so many thoughts apologies for rant
1. At first I would have humored for lols MonaYN getting tgt but Mona is literally using Y/N to make Scara jealous and (if mona kissed the dancer while dating scara) she literally cheated on Scara why are we moving past this rn… (but even it was after they broke up i feel like it’s cheating if you’re touching up on other people too, no??) 😭 Y/N does not need that in their life, get behind me
2. “He could've gone with Mona.” / “but the Mona you're seeing now feels oddly different from the one who'd dated Scara.” / “And bonus, got to make Scara upset." / "You seemed pretty determined to win... for Mona." | these lines pissed me off ngl esp the last one?? are YOU AN IDIOT?? 😭 Y/N is not only naive but just, what do you even call this behavior?? i don’t even wanna call it obliviousness bc where in the fuck did you see scara determined to win FOR MONA?? HIS EX THAT HE’S CLEARLY NOT HAPPY TO BE AROUND PLEASE be so serious
i love your writing kai i love you i love your brain but these certain lines that Y/N thinks of just makes me question their brain power 😔 please lord never get jealous over mona because scara does not like that girl AND SHE WAS USING HIM LIEKFHIGKFEIS
3. what redemption… could there possibly be for this diva 😔 she’s manipulative… manipulators get sent to the nono square instead of redemption (repenting on the other hand tho- but would she repent? would she actually?) AND IF SHE’S A CHEATER?! hands in head
ANYWHAJD i love the update as always u cooked my liege (staring at childe and diluc why cant we change the focus to them yae?! you have proper ship content right there just kick ynscara off to another island. have cameras in their villa and record them interacting over the next three days /j) thank you for the yummy writing eats it!! happy holidays 💜💜
NEVER SAY SORRY FOR A RANT I LOVE RANTS
1) THANK U OMG SOMEONE GETS IT lmao ik ppl r mostly joking when they say they want monayn but i tried to write her as not so nice to show why scara dislikes her sm…and yes technically cheating even if it was for a performance basically the entire relationship was her trying to make him jealous to get news outlets to talk about them so she cud get clout yk…and i have more reasons coming next chapter of why he dislikes her
1) IM SORRY HELP. GIVE YN A MINUTE the dock scene was supposed to show both of them coming around, mainly scara. scara has pretty much realized he has feelings for yn but won’t accept it himself esp after he just found out yn had an ex so he’s feeling like he doesn’t know know anything about them and yn is like so close…they just need another push…which is coming next chapter 😛. PLS DONT HATE THEM TOO MUCH LMFAO I UNDERSTAND UR FRUSTRATION THO IM SORRY THIS IS THE MISCOMMUNICATION TROPE
3) LMFAO not too much redemption dw just like some closure between scara and her but also not rlly…idk i haven’t thought too far into it yet i’m workshopping it #ineedtoplan take anything i say with a grain of salt 😭 i originally had smth in plan for her but i don’t think ill do it anymore 😛
AND AHH UR WELCOME TY FOR READING I LOVE READING UR THOTS AND LMFAOOO i’ll feed u guys chiluc content just wait a bit
happy holidays 😇
