#katherine: ur clearly not a cat

[wehowl]

"at least you have good enough eyes to not mistake me for a common housepet. however, i am quite busy. there are pigeons over there that i am plotting to feast upon. they're my second favourite meat, you know."

"Oh I heard you."

"I was more curious as to why you said meow. You are clearly not a cat. And I am clearly no ordinary fox. So why the theatrics. whiskers?"

[sqoiler]

oh hey can u talk about ur trans girl aiden series? it literally shocked me into a new light. also what name do you think shell choose for herself? im a fan of diana, personally

i got the idea for this fic when someone (one of my friends?) was like “marinette is a lesbian” and i was like “wow neat” but you know. i’m also #diehard for adrienette/ladychat/marichat/ladrien or whatever, so i was like “wait what if adrien was a girl” and then it spiraled. i thought it’d be interesting in a lot of ways especially if chat noir is perceived by the people as a girl and adrien is still very much in the closet. and then ofc since i’m pretty sure in regular canon if she didn’t like adrien she’d have a crush on chat noir, i was like “well marinette’s in love, clearly” and since marinette is marinette i didn’t have to change anything for adrien’s side of the love square. idk it just all fell into place pretty easily, sort of. i keep meaning to go back and write a bigger, better, longer fic addressing this au but i keep getting distracted, lol.

as for adrien’s name--i thought catherine/cat or katherine/kitty might be cute since chat noir is the first time she felt like herself and ladybug calls her kitty, so it gets transferred her real life, too. idk.
