#like red in Chloe’s jersey

jersey & kisses. ( CHLOE KELLY × READER )

one shot!

summary: where you and kelly argue about manchester city's second uniform design.

" That's weird. " You snapped, while holding your girlfriend's secondary team jersey. Brows furrowed, while you looked at Chloe. You two were at home, the British one was off; choosing the option to be by your side on her rest days. Both sitting on the couch in the living room, where they chose to see all the jerseys Chloe has ever worn.

But you didn't expect one of them to be this weird.

" What…? why?! " A surprised tone, Kelly grabbed the shirt from your hand, then held it out for you to look at properly. " Are you looking right, Y/N? It 's gorgeous. "

The player's expression was a mix of cuteness and displeasure.

Kelly always had that expression on her face when she asked for something or wouldn't agree with something, you commonly see that.

" It is… Something. " You tried to say so that it wouldn't hurt the blonde. It wasn't ugly, but striped jerseys weren't your taste. "There are better ones."

Chloe frowned. Oh no. It was almost as if a storm was about to arrive. Slowly she lowered the shirt to her lap, dissatisfied, tossed it affectionately to you. " Dress up ." Kelly ordered. " Y/N, you just think it's ugly because you've never used it. "

" I've used it, darling. It doesn't match. " Lying for your own good. You grabbed back the shirt, but you wouldn't put it on.

" Stop lying?! I've never seen you use it. " She argued with a stubborn tone. You always took the time to take pictures with Chloe's jerseys, always in her presence, it would have been impossible for her not to have seen it.

" Fuck, Kelly. You know striped shirts are not my thing. " The big problem with this argument is that both parties were stubborn, Chloe is competitive and so are you. You wouldn't let your girlfriend's opinion get the better of you.

" I would even respect your taste. But damn, it's one of my favorites... Just put it on and we'll see if it's everything you say it is." Begging you to wear it, eyebrows shot up in seconds.

Chloe opened a cute and malicious smirk at the same time. And you noticed.

The blonde slowly approached you, enough to bring her mouth close to your ear, even giving you goosebumps. " I'll give you a nice kiss if you wear it. " The player mumbled, knowing what that would do to your nerves.

" …Did this turn into a little game by any chance? " Oh my, how tempting. It was Kelly's first day off after a long month full of practices and matches, so Chloe always arrived tired or just left a peck on your cheek. You needed it, the touch of her lips was more than necessary.

" Almost like that. " The British woman joked with your question, moving away from you and returning to her previous position, Chloe pointed to the jersey in your hands, suggesting to wear it.

" No." A serious tone broke, you were trying not to fall into the devil's temptation. Fighting the negotiation, you stared at the ridiculous jersey some more.

" Alright, if that's your decision… Next!" Despite everything, the player's tone was honestly understandable, she turned her back, reached for the pile of jerseys next to her and looked for the next shirt they were going to discuss.

You wore it.

While Kelly had turned her back, you thought correctly and dressed that jersey. It wasn't like Chloe was going to make fun of the bad shirt match on you. The striped uniform between black and red, in the end, wasn't so bad, you just wanted to play with the blondie.

At the moment when your girlfriend still had her back turned, you ran your hand over the previous number, the beautiful nine, you looked at yourself in the reflection of the television and in a million other possible ways.

" Um! I have this one from— " Chloe caught sight of you after rummaging through the other jerseys. A few seconds of silence stabilized the environment, mouth half open, hands slowly abandoning the jersey she was about to show, you dressed in that shirt and you were the most slender thing in the world.

A feeling of victory rose inside Kelly, the cute and striking smile opened as fast as a child craving a snack.

"Damn, are you kidding? You look so fucking hot in that jersey." The blonde praised with the first words that came to her mind. The black and red clashing with each other made your face more striking, you and the color of the shirt became one; a perfection.

" Oh, please. It's not that much. " You laughed, taking another look at yourself. Maybe deep down, you liked it after your girlfriend's reaction.

You pulled the shirt collar close to your nostrils, the smell was incredible. A mixture of soap and Kelly's perfume, something like vanilla. You continued holding and inhaling the scent, until a hand touched your wrist and pulled you away.

Wet lips touched yours, you still remembered how soft and fluffy they were. Chloe is a fair person, she always keeps her promises. She moved inches away from your face, took the opportunity to push the pile of jerseys with her foot, creating a space for you to lie down on that couch. Kelly took the opportunity to get on top of you, all in a few seconds; she also missed that touch.

"Kelly, wait!" You weren't about to complain about the actions of others, you loved it. But the discomfort was stronger, the gray couch was not so comfortable to lie down in two (especially with someone on top of you).

She listened to you, but wanted to keep her promise. The player was now there, in your lap, and your hands automatically landed on the blonde's waist. " Please be quiet. It's been a while since we've been like this. " Chloe murmured close to your ear, the goofy smile not leaving her face.

Kelly kissed you again, her hands clutching the collar of that ridiculous striped uniform, the british woman's lips were addictive, you missed that. Both thighs fit perfectly around your body, as if they were a toy to fit geometric figures.

" I love you. " Kelly whispered after her lips parted, her breathing so heavy you could feel it. Your eyes landed on the player's lips, almost red as that damn jersey.

" I love you too, Chloe… But damn, I need to get up. " A grunt came out before the murmur, your left leaned on Kelly's thigh, while your right landed on the couch, to sit, without having to lift your girlfriend off him.

" But, anyway. Did you change your mind about the jersey? " The blonde questioned muttering, hoping that you had changed your mind, that a simple kiss could change. close to your face, Chloe brought her fingers to your hair, stroking it as if she were combing a cat's fur.

" Perhaps. But, maybe I should customize one with my name. " You joked, but deep down you would really like it. Matching jerseys was the most fun thing to do with Kelly...

...Especially when it came to a jersey that were, in your own opinion, ridiculous.

[puppiesandnightlock]

CDTA updates

after thinking on it, i've decided to do as many others have done and turn CDTA into an original story. however, given how much certain events in cdta intertwined with canon tmc, this change in direction is going to require significant rewrites to fill the gaps left behind. at the same time, most of the major story beats (e.g. the leg yoinking, the Nightmare Sand Pit arc, the blood magic in the church etc.) and characterization will stay the same, so i'm still planning on working on the sequel & the 2011 character designs before anything else.

to efficiently bridge the gap, i'm turning CDTA's neocities page into a hub for all the lore changes, so everyone can get caught up before i put out the first chapter of the sequel.

needless to say, all of this is going to take some time, so for now i'll provide all the relevant name changes both for people who want to send asks and so the inevitable blorbo tagging makes sense:

Main Characters

Jonah Marshall -> Isaac Hawthorne

Adam Murray -> Joshua Atkin

Ruth Weaver -> Jessie Simmons (she and the character formerly known as thatcher have switched roles)

Evelin Miller -> Madeline Wells

Sarah Heathcliff -> Leah Milton

Joel Hayes -> Elijah Hardy

Chloe -> Cassandra Jordan

Antagonists

Alt!Gabriel -> Lucifer/Luce

Six -> Cairyx

Alternates -> devils (think like the Jersey Devil)

The hivemind -> Legion

Other Characters

Lt. Thatcher Davis -> Officer Andrew Peters (he's now the one who talks to joshua in the Nightmare Sand Pit)

Dave Lee -> Zeke Swanson

Mark Heathcliff -> Rachel Milton (leah's younger sister)

Cesar Torres -> Amir Karimi

Mervin Marshall -> James Hawthorne

Jimberly Marshall -> Kayleigh Hawthorne

Lynn Murray -> Marilyn Atkin

Jude Murray -> Joe Atkin

Locations

Mandela County, Wisconsin -> Nox County, Iowa

Bythorne County, Wisconsin -> Hemera County, Iowa

St. Gabriel's Church -> St. Michael's Church

Other Terms

Department of Temporal Phenomena -> Bureau of Solomonic Affairs

Bythorne Paranormal Society -> Red Dragon Project/Productions

Type 6s -> Cael devils/the Cael

MystifyingOracle (in-universe youtube channel) -> EliThrills

#cut down the altar au -> #cut down the altar or #cdta

delilah, sam, and the ouija board Demon have remained unchanged. any character/concept not mentioned has probably been cut to streamline the story

Lois Lane costume appreciation (Part III, seasons 8-10)

Part I - seasons 4-5

Part II - seasons 6-7

This is Part III of my appreciation for Lois Lane's costuming in Smallville, and in particular the colour yellow.

While the previous seasons relied heavily on the red-blue-yellow colour scheme, the soft reboot of the later seasons moves slightly away from it as we spend more time in gritty Metropolis. Although we still have primary colours in the setting - the Kent farm, the Talon, the Daily Planet, and in season 10 Lois and Clark's apartment - the costuming shifts to more muted tones. In season 8 Clark takes up the persona of the Red-Blue Blur, but to protect that identity he stops wearing red and blue in his civilian life, starting work at the Daily Planet in suit and tie to match Lois's business attire that she adopted in season 7.

Lois actually doesn't wear straight yellow as much these last seasons (other than a few notable exceptions), but is occasionally associated with gold. She still favours red and blue, but we start seeing shades rather than the bold primaries of the earlier seasons. Lois is also often costumed in pink or white at important moments - white being the colour of purity, but also Krypton/formal Kryptonian robes we see both Jor-El and Lara wear (as opposed to black which is Kryptonian military/solider coded). Clark wears a lot of black and shades of grey in season 9 as he is torn between his Human and Kryptonian sides, and between the philosophies of his father Jor-El and his would-be brother Zod.

Pink is of course a mix of red and white, and also a Superman I reference ("I like pink very much Lois"). Lana wore a lot of pink in the earlier seasons, so there is a precedent for it being used to denote romance/the love interest in the show's visual storytelling.

As Lois and Clark's romantic relationship develops, we rely less on the symbolism and subtext because it's up there on the screen. Lois becomes Clark's heart in the narrative, so we don't need to see it represented as visual foreshadowing. But there's still some key symbolism to explore in the presence of yellow and thematic-adjacent gold.

The first time we see Lois in yellow this season is 8x05 Committed, where Lois wakes up at the farm hung over after getting drunk at Chloe and Jimmy's engagement. She wore gold shoes to the party, and I think this is an instance where the use of gold was perhaps unintentional, but is a nice little detail. We then see her in Clark's yellow and red football jersey, with very nice placement of the blue sheet almost like a cape.

Since I doubt Clark wears this jersey on the regular, there's a good chance Lois either rifled through all of Clark's drawers and chose this to wear, or Clark specifically picked it out for her - either option delights me (and is ripe for fic potential). Also note Clark in his blue shirt for this scene, so together they complete the red-yellow-blue combination.

She then puts on one of Clark's plaid shirts over her dress, the one with the red, yellow, and blue print. This episode is of course when Lois (under duress) first declares her love for Clark so the return to and emphasis on the Superman colour costuming is appropriate. It also continues the tradition of Lois wearing Clark's shirts that started in 4x02 and we'll see several times going forward.

While we see plenty of Lois in red or blue in season 8, we don't see her in yellow or gold again until 9x01 Savior after Lois returns from the future. At the end of the episode, Lois is wearing a yellow top with her pjs right before her memories of the future are triggered, including her and Clark having sex. So Lois in yellow at this moment, having the experience of the future with a Clark that emotionally died without her, is narratively apt.

Now while Lois's memories are later erased and this timeline never exists, the events still happened for Lois, so an interesting quirk of the show is that Lois has sex with Clark before he has sex with her, but he ends up with memories of it and she doesn't.

In the next episode 9x02 Metallo, Lois wakes up from having more dreams of the future in flannelette pajamas with red yellow and blue helicopters. These pjs are reminiscent of earlier seasons, and it's likely that with Clark missing in action and feeling out of kilter with her visions, Lois is seeking the comfort of that time. She takes Shelby back to the Talon with her not only to smoke Clark out, but as a reminder of her time at the farm and the surrogate family that was the Kents (also note the yellow in her blankets).

The red/yellow/blue plaid shirt from 8x05 shows up again in 9x04 Echo for what should have been Lois and Clark's first date, and we see Lois cut off the sleeves to get ready for Monster Trucks. This means she kept the shirt all that time and brought it out specifically for their date, and I find that extremely cute. It also shows how far they've come - when she borrowed his shirt in 4x02 she presumably returned it as he's seen wearing it later, but this shirt she never returned, and it seems Clark never asked for it back either. I do kind of wonder about a cute AU where the monster truck date happens and what Clark's reaction would be to her wearing this.

Then Lois wears a gold dress when she catches up to Clark after he stands her up which is an interesting transition. This is also a scene where Clark hears how vulnerable she is, not only in her feelings for him ("this was never about more than a story - maybe it never will be") and in general ("they always leave").

This is a crucial step, but given the moral question around Clark hearing Lois's thoughts and using that information to his advantage that Chloe articulates, it's important that this wasn't their first date and that while it progresses Clark's understanding and appreciation of Lois, it doesn't actually progress their romance.

However the end of the episode we do get this lovely shot with the burnished gold of the Daily Planet behind them.

I'm going to take a detour from yellow just for a second, to point out that in 9x06 Crossfire the new tie that Clark bought to wear to the Good Morning Metropolis interview is a similar shade of orange as Lois's bridesmaid dress in 8x10 (I first made this observation in the tags of this post).

Orange of course is a mix of yellow and red, and is also a colour we occasionally see Lois wear - notably in 4x01/02. In this context it represents that Clark and Lois are close but aren't quite there yet thematically, but it's also made clear that Clark bought this tie specifically to the interview and seeing that orange is a colour he rarely (if ever) wears, it's not a stretch to think this was either a subconscious choice, or that Clark thought of her (and how amazing she looked in that dress) when he saw it.

In 9x12 Warrior Lois wears a Wonder Woman Amazon Princess costume which is red, blue, and gold but this one doesn't really count much since it's a WW reference, but the end of this episode is another important step forward in their relationship ("you asked me what my dream was and it's this - with you, Lois").

In 9x15 Escape it's tartan galore - above the bed and on the pillows at the McDougal Inn where Clark and Lois intend to take their relationship to the next level.

The tartan on the pillow, notably, is very similar print to the plaid shirt from 8x05 and 9x04, as is the tartan costume Lois chose to buy when they visited the "world's biggest ball of yarn". It is certainly the plaid pattern of their relationship!

Lois is back in gold in 9x18 Charade (one of my favourite episodes!), undercover to try and protect the Blur's identity - and is still wearing the gold bodysuit under her coat later in the episode when she's abducted by Maxwell Lord.

In one of the most pivotal scenes for Clark and Lois's relationship, (with some very prominent yellow and blue lighting), Lois knows the Blur has just saved her (after she saved him by destroying the photograph revealing his identity), and could very easily turn around to see who he is, but actively chooses not to.

While in 9x02 she asks the Blur to "let me see your face" now she accepts that "I can't know who you are. I'd give anything to see your face, to know you're name. But you can't protect us if we know who you are." She has gone beyond wanting to know the Blur for a story, or as a boost for her own ego - she understands the burden he carries and doesn't want to add to it. This moment must have meant to much to Clark after years of everyone feeling entitled to his secrets, for Lois not to make any demands of him but to trust him implicitly.

10x04 Homecoming is of course the pinnacle of symbolism of Lois in yellow, exactly six seasons after 4x04 with Lois leaving Smallville High, Lois takes Clark back there for the reunion. Again, the in-universe explanation for Lois wearing a yellow dress could be school pride, but it's not a coincidence that she's back in yellow for the 200th episode, where she and Clark exchange I Love Yous for the first time, and Clark flies.

The reunion is important to Lois, she dresses up, straightens her hair, and remembers all their classmates even though she was only there a short time. Clark wears his letterman jacket but is less than enthused to be the centre of attention. However by the end of the episode the jacket is gone - the future Lois takes it off him, and he doesn't put it back on, symbolically leaving behind his youth and ready to embrace his future.

In 10x07 Ambush we see Clark and Lois post-coital with Lois wearing Clark's jersey, calling back to 8x05 but an indication that while she is his destiny, she is also a link to his past. This is a nuance that Clark will learn to embrace at the end of the season - to become Superman, but to always hold on to Smallville.

In 10x12 Collateral Lois wears a red shirt with a gold belt while Clark is in red and blue - even in the virtual world a nod to the color scheme, and in this episode Clark flies with Lois in his arms in order to escape the dreamscape.

At the end of 10x17 Kent, we see Clark and Lois in their domestic bliss, with Lois again wearing one of Clark's plaid shirts with a yellow shirt underneath. This is the episode they decide to move to Metropolis, after Clark returns from the mirror universe where he saw alt!Jonathan.

This is a double callback, since it looks an awful lot like the yellow tank she wore in earlier seasons, and the plaid resembles the one she borrowed in 8x05. However we know that shirt got cut up in 9x04, so this likely means that Clark went out and bought another one, and then Lois commandeered that too! I love it.

In 10x19 Dominion Lois and Clark move into their new apartment in Metropolis, and for almost the entire episode Lois is wearing Superman-adjacent colours - blue jeans, mauve top, and a yellow belt. The latter is particularly interesting given that many versions of the Superman suit include a yellow belt, and at one point we get Lois in a classic superman stance.

In this episode we see Lois as a fully integrated member of the team, overruling the plan to blow up the gate to the Phantom Zone and delivering the line "Being a hero's wife means never accepting defeat."

This is actually the last time we see Lois in yellow, although in the finale we see her in gold skirt/belt in her post-wedding outfit.

But there's another side to gold, as season 10 introduces us to gold kryptonite that could permanently remove Clark's powers away (the Star Blade in earlier seasons is also yellow/gold). Do I think this undermines my argument for Lois as representing yellow/gold as Clark's heart/family? Not at all.

Yellow is ultimately symbolic of Clark's humanity, arguably the most important aspect of being Superman - he's an alien who is undeniably human.

There’s an interesting dichotomy in the yellow sun giving Clark his powers, but gold kryptonite as the substance that can take those powers away. This does fit in with Lois being his strength, as well as the linchpin of his human life - the heart of both Clark and Superman.

So take this with a grain of salt (since I know the Crisis cameo was not well received by most), but consider all of the above, and how we see the Lane-Kent’s for the last time. First, Clark in yellow gloves (inherited from Jonathan) working on the farm and unaffected by green kryptonite:

Clark said he gave up his powers - was this with gold kryptonite? It's unclear if this is something Clark chose to do, or had to do, perhaps to save the world, or was a temporary thing while he and Lois raised their daughters (sidenote, I love Clark as a girldad). I personally like to think that Clark would become Superman in this continuity again, when he's needed.

But for now last time we see Lois and Clark they are in red and blue, muted from the bold primary of Superman, but undeniably present, a reflection of their true selves even without the powers or destiny. And yellow is still there, in the farmhouse, the home where they are raising a family together:

Do you write for Chloe kelly

Also Lauren hemp need more fics of them and loved the deyna one definitely need more fics of her

Hi Anon!

I have written a little something for Chloe Kelly, let me know if you like it and I can maybe write a part 2. I will get started on a Lauren Hemp one too

The Crossover We Needed

Women’s sport in England had been gaining traction and with both rugby and football becoming more and more popular the top players had become a perfect marketing option. Ridley was the Captain and the scrum half of the England rugby 7’s team, she had been asked to feature in an interview with one of the Lionesses. Chloe Kelly was incredibly excited to be the face of the Lionesses for this interview, she had seen the England 7’s team take home their very own European Championship, she was in the stands cheering them on with her family. But she couldn’t make it obvious to the girl that she was going to meet.

Chloe showed up in her Lionesses training gear, she looked over to see a 5ft10in brunette with dimples and green eyes standing there wearing a red tank top showing off her biceps and blue running shorts that exposed her toned legs. Chloe’s eyes raked over the girl as she walked over, Ridley looked over at Chloe and quickly checked her out, very impressed by the smaller girl’s muscle tone. “Hey I’m Ridley.” The taller girl held out her hand to shake Chloe’s. “Hi, I’m Chloe.” They shook hands, trying to pull away at the socially appropriate time. They stood next to each other as they were given a brief of how the day was going to go. Firstly they would do an interview together then do skills for each of the sports to see who would win the overall challenge. 

They sat across from each other as the producer handed them a stack of questions, Chloe read hers out first. “What football team did you follow as a kid?” Chloe looked up at the other girl’s face. “Um, I go for Manchester United actually.” Ridley let out a laugh and looked at the girl across from her. “Oh so you are a red?” Chloe raised her eyebrow. “Through and through.” Ridley had a small smirk. “Gross.” Chloe pretended to gag, Ridley laughed at her reaction. “Hey, at least I follow football. I was at Wembley when you scored that banger in the Euros, saw the celebration and everything.” Ridley smiled proudly. “Nothing better than someone with some appreciation for the world game.” Chloe smiled softly.

Riley was up next to ask a question. “Do you follow any rugby teams?” Chloe thought for a moment and smirked. “Saracens. They are my local team from when I was growing up. Pretty sure they are top of the ladder in the women’s too.” Ridley rolled her eyes. “We are one point behind with a game in hand. We could be top of the ladder after next weekend.” Ridley replied quickly. “Oh so Gloucester-Hartpury is going to win the league?” Chloe crossed her arms over her chest. “We certainly could. When we do you have to come present the trophy I think while wearing one of our jerseys.” Ridley laughed.

“What is your favourite memory?” Chloe looked at Ridley intently. “Probably winning the European Championship in the Sevens for England. It was the first time I captained the country and being able to lead us to win was phenomenal. You?” Ridley smiled fondly at the memory. “Mine would definitely be the Euros win. Being able to score a goal that won us the whole thing was crazy, the most incredible thing I have ever done.” Chloe smiled wide. “One of the best sporting moments for the country I would say.” Ridley looked at the blonde across from her. “I think your Euros win was just as special, especially scoring two tries.” Chloe said softly. “You watched?” Ridley leant in slightly waiting for the answer. “Yeah, my family loves rugby almost as much as they love football. We all went to watch England completely dominate. Even better that it was a home tournament too.” Chloe relaxed as their conversation continued.

There was some casual flirting during the whole interview with both of the girls promising to catch up again the following week when they had a lunch event for England’s sporting elite. Chloe laughed at Ridley’s jokes and gently touched her arm, Ridley tried to hold back the massive grin and blush that was making its way up her neck to her face. Ridley returned the favour of making the other girl blush when she ran her fingers through her hair making her biceps flex, Chloe’s eyes locked on the muscle straining against the rugby player’s shirt. 

Once the interview portion was over they headed out to the field, on their way their conversation continued as did the flirting. Chloe gently bumped into Ridley when the taller girl teased her about the way she took penalties and the time she got hit in the face by Katie McCabe at a throw-in. “Oh my god shut up! I saw you get absolutely destroyed by the New Zealand Captain last year, you seemed too busy looking at some of the other girls.” Chloe laughed and this time it was Ridley’s turn to bump into Chloe. “Hey what can I say? Blondes seem to be my weakness.” She winked at the striker next to her as they got to the challenges.

The first game was a rugby passing drill, there were four targets lined up with four balls across from them, Chloe grabbed one of the balls and threw it to Ridley who caught it easily. “We should make this interesting. Want to make a bet?” Ridley looked at the blonde. “Sure. When I win, you have to give me your training shirt. If you somehow win, I will give you my shirt.” Chloe said confidently the two shook it and they both smirked at one another. Chloe tried to throw the first ball into the target and missed completely, she let out a groan and pouted after she missed the second one. Ridley smiled and handed Chloe another ball. “Just relax, try twisting your shoulders more rather than your hips. Nice and tight core.” Chloe listened closely and did what the girl was saying, she hit the target right in the centre on the last two shots. She jumped into the rugby player’s arms who spun her around cheering. “We might just be able to convert you into a rugby player.” The two laughed together and Chloe smacked Ridley’s arm gently. 

When it was Ridley’s turn Chloe just stared as the ball was thrown with minimal effort into the targets. Each movement had been practiced a million times and it definitely looked like it, the muscles flexed in her arms and Chloe was unable to do anything but watch. There was part of her that would have loved to know what else those muscles would be able to do to her, maybe even how they would go lifting her up and throwing her down on a bed. “Four from four, easy as you like.” Ridley’s voice snapped Chloe out of her trance. “Okay, show off. Now its time for football.”

The two walked over to four footballs set up for a crossbar challenge. “Let’s see how you go superstar.” Chloe smirked and stepped back for Ridley. The brunette looked at the crossbar then back at the footballs. “Oh man, haven’t kicked a ball in ages. Promise you won’t laugh.” Chloe nodded and motioned to the balls. “I promise. Now show me how to do it.” Ridley took a deep breath as she lined up for her first kick, it wasn’t the best but she was close to hitting the bar, she groaned and threw her head back setting up for the next ball. Her next two kicks were unsuccessful making the girl frustrated, on her last kick she glanced the crossbar and fist pumped. “Finally!” Ridley cheered and turned to the blonde who jumped on her in celebration. As Ridley put her down Chloe bit her lip as she stepped back. “Sorry just got swept up into it.” The striker said softly. “Don’t be.” Ridley stood back for Chloe’s turn. The striker made it look easy, she hit the ball so sweetly that it was hard for Riley not to stare at the girl in front of her. “Wow.” She said out loud as Chloe hit three of the four balls against the crossbar. “Now that was impressive. I think you win, you got more in rugby than I did in football. You easily win.” Ridley held out her hand which Chloe immediately shook. “Good game.” The two laughed as the video cut. 

They walked towards the changerooms to get into more casual clothes for the rest of the day. Ridley had no sooner walked in and her shirt was off exposing her abs and toned back along with her perfect arms. Chloe stared obscenely at the girl in front of her, she forgot to listen as Ridley held out her shirt to Chloe. “A bets a bet.” Chloe took the shirt from the scrum-half and swallowed hard. “Congratulations.” Ridley smirked knowing that the girl was struggling to focus. “Th-thanks.” Chloe finally choked out, Ridley pulled off her shorts and grabbed her jeans, sliding them on right in front of Chloe who was almost drooling. Ridley pulled on her oversized acid washed black shirt and a beanie. “You okay there Chloe?” Ridley walked closer to Chloe who was still standing in the middle of the room. “Yeah. Sorry. Just got distracted.” Chloe looked up at the taller girl. “By me?” Ridley moved a piece of hair from Chloe’s face as their eyes locked. “Maybe.” Chloe said and leant in to kiss Ridley, the rugby player closed the gap as their lips finally touched. Ridley wrapped her arms around Chloe’s waist and lifted her up as they kissed, she leant her against the locker door and deepened the kiss. The build up of tension during the day finally leading up to them getting what they wanted. Their makeout session was cut short by Chloe’s phone ringing, her agent was on the other end wanting to know if she was almost ready to leave, Ridley tried to distract her during the call kissing along the blonde’s neck. Chloe blushed and pushed Ridley away as the call ended. “You are a bad influence.” Chloe gently kissed Ridley and took off her shirt, it was the scrum-half’s turn to stare at Chloe as she got changed. Chloe put on a white crop top with some blue jeans. “I guess I will see you next week?” Chloe looked down, Ridley handed her a phone. “Can I maybe get your number?” Ridley asked somewhat nervously. Chloe smiled wide and put her number in Ridley phone, locking eyes as she handed it back. “I will see you next week.” Chloe kissed her cheek gently as she left. 

Over the week the two were texting most of the day, sending some pictures of what they were up to during the day. The day of the sport lunch Ridley took her time getting ready, putting on a navy blue suit with no shirt underneath relying on the jacket to stay where it was so she didn’t flash everyone around. Ridley walked into the large function room, looking around for anyone familiar. Chloe spotted the rugby player immediately, she walked over and touched her lower back. “Hi.” She said softly, making Ridley turn around. “Holy shit.” Ridley blurted out as she saw Chloe in a low cut red dress that finished above her knee, Ridley’s eyes stopped right at the striker’s chest. “Eyes are up here Ridley.” Chloe stepped closer and lifted Ridley’s chin so they were looking in each other’s eyes. “You look phenomenal yourself.” Chloe tugged gently at Ridley’s suit jacket covering what Chloe wanted to see. “Thank you gorgeous.” Ridley kissed Chloe’s cheek and put her hand on her lower back. “Are we sitting together?” Ridley asked as she looked around. “No sorry, I am on the football table and I think you are with rugby. Come see me after?” Chloe grabbed Ridley’s hand, getting her focus back. “Yeah I will come get you.” Ridley kissed Chloe’s hand as they both walked over to their tables. 

During the lunch, Ridley kept looking over at Chloe, causing some of her teammates to give her some light teasing as she stared at the blonde. Chloe received the same treatment as she glanced over at the brunette. “Who is that?” Georgia asked, motioning to Ridley. “That is Ridley, she is the captain of the England rugby team.” Chloe couldn’t help but blush as she mentioned the girl. “Well, she is certainly interested in you Chloe. She’s very pretty.” Georgia smirked, Chloe snapped at Georgia. “Yeah I know she is. Stop looking over at her.” Chloe turned back to look over at Ridley, who was looking back at her slightly concerned. Chloe gave a small smile and walked towards the bathroom, Ridley rushed to follow behind her. As soon as they were in the bathroom Ridley grabbed Chloe’s hand. “Hey you okay?” Chloe nodded and kept looking down. “Georgia said you were pretty and I just kind of cracked it.” Ridley blushed and put her hands on Chloe’s hips. “I am only looking at you.” Ridley leant in and kissed Chloe gently, leading her against the sink, the blonde wrapped her arms around Ridley’s neck and pulled her as close as possible. “After this, come around to my place its only ten minutes away. We can hang out and I will make you dinner.” Ridley offered softly. “A date?” Chloe asked hopefully. “Yes of course. I wanted to ask you out last week but didn’t want you to think I was going too fast.” Ridley blushed. “What after we made out?” Chloe laughed and Ridley blushed more. “Maybe.” Chloe kissed Ridley again and smiled. “As soon as this thing finishes, I am dragging you out of here.” Chloe smiled looking at the taller girl. “We should go back to our tables before people thing we are having sex in here.” Ridley said softly and they begrudgingly rejoined their tables.

[tank-grunt]

actually just want to point out that pt9′s family all wear red or shades of red (pt9’s red aloha shirt, johnny’s red and orange jersey, jill’s pink tank top, chloe and lola’s red shirts) and in fact jenny is the only exception to this, because her favorite color is green. so then you have jill and buck nearly friends at the start of the game, with buck also wearing red, and often end up paired in gameplay as they grow up. contrast with tank wearing a green polo in the pc game, where he’s enemies with johnny... but then in ds and gba, where five years later they seem to be friends (they don’t directly interact because johnnys an npc but theres circumstantial evidence that tank at the very least likes johnny, especially considering ds has a mechanic where sims “smile” at their friends and if you’re able to catch tank in johnnys shop before befriending him tank smiles at johnny not you) tank wears a red polo instead. whatever that all means.

Danny Darling headcanons;

His full name is Daniel Cooper Stuart-Darling of Darling Coast, but he prefers to go by Danny.

He was born and raised in Darling Coast by his parents—Wendy Darling and Edward Stuart.

He is 19 years old by the time the events of the Pocket Watch/Rise of Red take place.

He has two older siblings—Jane (34) and William (26).

Danny also has 7 first cousins (Jeremiah, Wilma, Diana, Moria, Jamie, Wallace, and Dalton) and 5 second cousins (Millie, Conrad, Chains, Shelly, and Warpaint).

He is quite close to Tinkerbell's youngest son, Tinzen, and Hard-to-Hit's son, Hototo.

Danny is still close to Peter Pan but has lost his hero worship for him.

Danny is also a little shit who loves teasing his cousins, siblings, and friends about their crushes/partners (including Tiger Peony's relationship with Bobby Hood).

He has a vial of fairy dust on a necklace that was gifted to him by Peter when he was younger.

Danny likes climbing trees, fishing, sword-fighting, shooting things (usually with his slingshot), parkour, cartography, and various sports.

He also loves his dog, Nana ||, very much.

He still has his Peter Pan doll hidden somewhere in his room—not that he'll admit it.

Danny is a fun loving, playful, optimistic, somewhat snarky young man who loves messing with people. Though he rarely takes it too far.

Danny considers Red, Maddox, Chloe, and Hadie his bestfriends, even if Hadie drives him nuts sometimes.

He rough houses with Hadie the most out of his friends because of how different they are from one another.

His favorite colors are green and red.

He writes letters to people often, even if most people consider it old fashioned.

Danny can almost always be found wearing his letterman jacket or his jersey.

He can also be found wearing a beanie a good 40% of the time.

He spent a good portion of his childhood vacations in Neverland.

Danny once got in an argument with Peter over him thinking pirates were cool, which resulted in him getting banished for a week. This is part of the reason why he lost his hero worship for him.

Danny, like his brother before him, went to school in Auradon Prep.

His best subjects are P.E, Art, and History of Woodsmen and Pirates.

His worst subjects are cooking, Smiling, and Chemistry.

Danny does not have good impulse control.

He also does not take Hadie's claims of being evil seriously.

He is quite handy with a sword and a slingshot.

Out of the girls, Danny is the closest to Red because of their similar tastes in humor.

Out of the boys, he gets along best with Maddox because he finds him easier to get along with.

Danny is good at flying with pixie dust.

The Return of the Premier Chaotique

Marinette was only eight years old when her primary school life changed for the better.

On that fateful day, in Mlle. Gilbertine’s classroom was the introduction of a new transfer student. He introduced himself as Damian; there was no last name. And if there was one, Gilbertine made sure she didn’t say a word of it.  

To Marinette, Nino, Chloe, Nathaniel, and Kim, he was an odd boy. Someone that would fit right into their group after a push, as Damian stressed for no social interactions with anyone.

During the early weeks of his stay, Marinette had caught him several times engaging in lonesome activities, whether they were in the classroom or out in the field messing around. Marinette, being the outgoing child that she was, began to plot.

Created from that plotting period was her life’s mission to befriend the emotionless kid.

It was hard at first.

She and the others tried tricking the young man into hopscotch matches, and when that didn’t work, it was a game of red light, green light. Occasionally, Nino and Kim would challenge Damian to dance battles.

Damian was very much against the childish games claiming that they were beneath him, but humored them into defeat.

That was until Marinette decided on a shooting game with water guns and makeshift go-carts out of bike parts. Damian’s eyes lit up with excitement, and Marinette knew right then and there that she finally fulled her goal.

After being soaked from head to toe and laughing amongst friends, Marinette and the others swore Damian into their friend group, thus changing their lives forever.

Soon newer and crazier games began to take over the classroom of Mlle. Gilbertine.

The moment Nino would bring out his portable CD player and the music began to boom out of the speakers, everyone knew what was about to happen.  

One day, while the group was in the school’s pool area pretending to be sea monsters attacking each other with kickboards and pool noodles, they were officially dubbed the “Premier Chaotique” cult. As they were youthful and the material they came up with was more chaotic than anything the future Hawkmoth could ever create.

Everyone knew that Marinette and Damian were the leaders. Together they oozed power, as Marinette was their strategist while Damian was the chief.

Chloe was their lawyer and location scout. The blonde knew what areas had cameras and heavy guarding. Kim was their chaotic developer. He knew what methods were more chaotic than the rest. Kim never failed to disappoint. Nino was their sound design and videographer in some cases. His love for filmmaking and DJing started here and continues to grow. Nathaniel was the tagger as he made sure every graffiti they did was perfect.

Nothing could ruin these kids.  

Mlle. Gilbertine, bless her soul, was determined to get the Premier Chaotique cult under control, but they were slick and made plans at random. She remembers the day when empty ice cream cups filled her classroom. Every desk was covered, and nothing could explain the appearance of snow sleds in the class.

It was no rumor that the mini cult managed to create their own little snow resort using ice cream and shave ice. It was a pain to clean up.

Marinette remembers the days when the mini cult would paint the city red with flowers and chaotic goodness. Or turning the entire city into a roller skate derby.

It’s a miracle that the cops never brought their parents into the investigation. Then again, with a child as pure as Marinette in the lead, people would fall over when they saw her smile.

Their significant achievement was when the school’s kitchen managed to catch on fire during a lunch period. During the evacuation, the group somehow managed to slip through the adults and back into the cafeteria.

Kim had brought marshmallows that day.

When the firefighters entered to put out the flames, the six children greeted them with wooden sticks eating s’mores and telling scary stories.

That fire had been their last valuable success because they experienced the worst nightmare a couple of days later, Damian had to go back to his home country.

It was heartbreaking for everyone within the cult but groundbreaking for the city.

Marinette fell into depression along with the others. After a month without Damian, they vowed to never speak of the best year of their life unless they were ever to meet Damian again.

It was no secret that Marinette had a crush on the foreign boy, so the cult disassembles along with any memories of Damian and the cult.

Years passed since that day.

Chloe took it upon herself to bully Marinette when they had entered college, as those who knew them in their younger days forgot that they were ever friends. Marinette took up fashion designing and making her seem like the perfect student. Nathaniel started working on comics based on their adventures. Nino stayed friends with all but Chloe and continued with his calling in music production. Kim began busying himself with sports, specifically swimming.

Soon the name that used to strike fear in the hearts of the Paris citizens began to fade away into a false memory.

Little did anyone know, the spirit of the Premier Chaotique cult lives on and would ignite in a blaze of fire.

At sixteen, Marinette works her butt off to make their end-of-the-school-year trip a reality.

The trip was not for the approval of her classmate, which has gone stale but for her sanity. Three years of being Ladybug have put a toll on her, and she plans to take advantage of the lack of akuma attacks going on.

When the acceptance letter landed in her hands, her parents swear they saw a boulder lifted off their daughter’s shoulders. She was smiling more and appeared less stressed than she had ever been since finding out the school board decided to move teachers with their students as a handful of teachers left Paris, some even left France altogether.

Her allies (remaining friends) were the first to know about the trip to Gotham, New Jersey, and they cheered happily for her. Lately, someone else has taken the credits for her work.

The day before the trip, Marinette rundown the patrol routes, and emergency protocols with Luka and Kagami, ensuring the safety of Paris if and when Hawkmoth decided to go active while the rest of the team was away.

She then goes on to convincing Kaalki to come with her to Gotham only to be used as an emergency. Marinette was ready to leave Paris and head to Gotham.

Upon entering the streets of Gotham, a cold chill runs down everyone’s spines aside from the former mini cult members. Too Mme. Bustier, the chill was all too familiar, bringing up memories of the kids that terrorized the streets before Hawkmoth. She looks around to see nothing out of place before promptly calling out her students so they would make it to the hotel.

Everyone who felt that chill had every right to be wary.

On the first day, everything seemed fine, but when you leave nearly all the members of Premier Chaotique alone for a moment, well, chaos was sure to happen.

Chloe and Marinette had put aside their differences during the Lila era of the classroom reign. Even after it was over, they managed to remain friends, rekindling the essence of primary friendship. The boys joined in on them not long afterward.

Plans were made but not yet enforced. It did not feel right, and they knew why– it was because they lacked their chief, the one and only Damian.

~☾★☽~

All Marinette wanted was a cup of coffee, but instead, she got something--someone much more pleasing.

Frozen in place, she calls out a single name, “Dames?” The dark-haired male turned around; she couldn’t breathe. Her eyes soften at the sight of her first crush. He hadn’t changed by much, though he was now taller than her.

“Mars?�� That nickname sent the French-Asian teen running into the arms of the Ice Prince himself. Instead of pushing her away, he wraps his arms around her.  

Time froze in that café for several reasons, but the main one was definitely because they just witnessed Damian Wayne hugging someone willing.

Their embrace ends with them staring into each other’s eyes. It felt surreal. They couldn’t find the words to say, but they didn’t have to.

Life continues in the cafe as Damian leads Marinette away from the flashes of lights. It wasn’t long before Damian’s phone began to blow up with notifications. He turns his phone off and stuffs it back into his pocket.

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Marinette pulls Damian in closer. Lifting herself onto her tip-toes, she whispers, “The others are here too.” into his ear. She steps away to see what she has unleashed, hoping that nearly a decade away from each other hasn’t altered their relationship.

This time it was Damian who smirks, bringing Marinette closer to him. “Mm, shall be bring Gotham to its knees?”

They share a smirk that ends with an explosion, thus, reigniting the Premier Chaotique cult with a burning passion for mayhem.

They decided to meet that night after hours.

Music blared in the streets of Gotham, seemingly close to the classroom’s hotel near Wayne Enterprise.

The members of Premier Chaotique strut down the middle of the streets in inflatable dinosaur suits dancing to the remixes that played from the boombox on one of the dino’s skateboards (Nino’s).  

Jamming to Bats @crazyforbats Did anyone else wake up to music and dancing dinos last night?

Bearbe @Bearbe Replying to @crazyforbats THAT WAS REAL!!??? I THOUGHT I WAS HULLACINATING

Krazie Kay @gokaykaer [A one-minute video with various strobe lighting colors flashing around and six dinosaurs doing the Cha-Cha-Slide] I swear I just saw @thebloodwayne for a split second.

Vera Pitts @vera_pitts [A short video of inflatable dinosaurs chaotically dancing to the Harlem Shake.] I thought this trend of over and done *crying emoji*

By the morning, Twitter was blowing up with various videos and gifs of the events that happened the night before. The only people who weren’t affected by the popularity were the people who were a part of it.

At Wayne Manor, Bruce could already feel a migraine coming as his two oldest play the videos repeatedly in the main room.

Damian scoffs at his family members, while Dick complains about why they haven’t thought of that for a family outing. It’s all about class, Dick; it’s all about class.  

Alfred, being all-knowing, takes notice of Damian's hidden smirks and recent purchase from his account at a party store. Nothing to worry about in this household. However, Damian asking him about where to find used pocket bikes (mini motorcycles) and wire rope reels was troubling.

The next night began the fears of every Parisian that experienced the reign. Blessed that it wasn't not happening in their city for once.

Per their plan assignments, Chloe and Kim found the buildings necessary for the zip line. Nino was in charge of setting up the equipment with the help of Nathaniel. Damian’s task was to get the bikes and zip line wire. Marinette’s job was to keep the class and others from finding out their plan.  

Once everything was ready, the Premier Chaotique entered their playground wearing hooded leotards (or bodysuits) with matching latex masks stretched over their eyes.

Kim went first down the zip line as Damian race down the streets on the bike. Initially, they were going to use the bikes, but the zip line couldn’t hold the weight of the bike and the person on it, so they turned it into a race instead. Of course, they put challenges throughout the route to make it more even.  

Their mayhem took a turn for the best when someone had called the cops, causing the for once silent night into a regular night of crime. Instead of stopping, like normal people, the mini cult went on a high-speed race against the GCPD.

Gotham’s Twitter users were having a blast with the events. It was the best and bravest thing to surface since Batman, though some were very vocal with their opposing thoughts.

The GCPD never caught the Premier Chaotique members, and they went on as if nothing happened.  

It was during the tour of Wayne Enterprise that the Premier Chaotique members learned Damian’s last name. He was an effing Wayne.

Marinette had asked Damian what his last name was when they were eight, and he replied nonchalantly with something along the lines of not being a Wayne until he was ten. Afterward, they continue hanging out and plotting throughout the tour.

After seeing their younger brother interact with teens his age, Dick specifically begs Bruce to invite the group while the rest stands there in shock. The sight of seeing Damian doing what they thought was impossible needed to go into the history books.

While it was a momentous occasion for Damian’s brothers, it was a reality check for Mme. Bustier. Her screams echo against the halls of WE as buried memories of the chaos awakens.

She stared pointedly at Marinette in denial. There was no way her star student was in the cult that did so much damage all those years ago. When Chloe, Nino, Kim, and quiet Nathaniel joined her, Caline started to feel faint. She immediately excused herself to call her therapist. Her wails for help could reach the lobby.

Bruce unknowingly invited even more chaos into his household that night.

It didn’t take Chloe and Marinette much to convince their teachers to let the five of them stay with Mr. Wayne for the night in hopes of “catching up” with Damian.

After getting the approval from Mr. Wayne and their parents, she agreed, secretly ecstatic that they wouldn’t be in her care for the next several hours.

~☾★☽~

“I’m bored. Let’s play a prank?” Kim randomly shouts, playing catch with himself, when they were all staring out the TV waiting for something good to come on.

“What do you have in mind?” Marinette asks, making her way over to Damian. He pushes her away, knowing that she’ll use him as a throne.

“Hey Dames, do you own go-carts are something of a familiar nature?”

Damian thinks about it for a minute, “Tt, father wouldn’t dare let those things in the house. We can prank my brothers. Scaring them would bring me joy.”

“Well I have a few ideas, we can use.” Chloe states, pulling out the book of mischief from her purse.

They all huddle over the book with smirks on their faces.

Spilling Secrets (Bechloe Fanfiction)

Alright, so this is my first attempt at a fanfiction in...months, I think. Please go easy on me, I’ve been trying to get over my writer’s block and an awesome user named @lyricalmuse91 recommended I write a fanfiction based on the song “If You Love Her” by Forest Blakk and so I came up with this slightly angsty but also very fluffy fanfiction. Please enjoy! And if it’s not great, my apologies, hopefully this will get me out of my slump. Please know I am open for more requests in the future, just inbox me. 

Take it If she gives you her heart Don't you break it Let your arms be a place She feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have

 “I’m in the room, yet all you can do is stare at your phone?” Chloe’s giggling voice snapped Beca out of the trance she was in.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Beca quickly swiped out of the page she was in and set down her phone.

Chloe grinned and made a grab for Beca’s phone. “What kind of porn were you looking at?” She teased.

Beca grabbed the phone and stood up. “Nope, nope!” She held the phone above her head.

Chloe burst out laughing. “Are you serious Mitchell?” She reached up and easily grabbed Beca’s phone. Beca blushed; Chloe was a good two inches taller. This had been a rookie mistake.

“Chloe, please don’t.” Beca let down her guard and pleaded with the red head.

Chloe looked at Beca in surprise. “What’s wrong?”

“Just please, give me back my phone.” Beca begged. Slowly Chloe handed her the phone.

“Whatever it was, you can tell me.” Chloe reminded her.

Beca sighed and shoved her phone back in her pocket. “Let’s talk about something else, please.”

Chloe sighed. “You always do this.”

“Do what?” Beca asked.

“You’re my best friend, and I feel like I know nothing about you.” Chloe told her. “I’ve told you everything about me, every detail about my life. But I only partially know you.”

“You know what matters.” Beca insisted.

“Do I?” Chloe asked, sitting back on the ground. “Do you not trust me?”

“I don’t trust anyone.” Beca said impulsively.

“I didn’t think I was just anyone.” Chloe snapped.

Beca sighed and sat down next to the red head. She wrapped her arms and pulled her into a hug.

“You’re not just anyone.” Beca assured her. “I’m just…I’m just scared you won’t like what you see. I can’t lose you, Chloe.”

“Have you murdered anyone? Because I think I can handle anything else from you.” Chloe teased.

“Don’t worry, I haven’t killed anyone that mattered.” Beca teased back. Chloe gently smacked the younger girl’s hand and they both laughed.

 She always has trouble Falling asleep And she likes to cuddle While under the sheets She loves Pop songs And dancing, and bad trash TV There's still a few other things

 Beca pulled her keys out of her pocket, doing her best to not fall right asleep at the door. Somehow her group project had underestimated how long it would take to finish up their report. She hadn’t gotten out of the library until nearly midnight.

Beca pulled the front door open, trying to be as quiet as possible, only to be greeted by Chloe in her pajamas.

“Hey bestie.” Chloe waved.

“What the fuck are you doing up, hun?” Beca sighed. “Don’t you have class at seven tomorrow?”

“I couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to watch some Jersey Shore reruns.” Chloe shrugged.

“Again?” Beca asked.

“I mean…” Chloe shrugged. “You know what always helps me fall asleep, right?”

Beca rolled her eyes. “Are you serious?”

“Please, Beca?” Chloe pleaded.

Beca sighed. “Let me put my stuff down in my room and change, I’ll meet you in your room.”

Chloe was already comfortable in bed by the time Beca made it to her room. Beca rolled her eyes. “Move over, weirdo.”

Chloe grinned and made a space in bed for Beca to slide in. Beca wrapped her arms around Chloe.

“Thank you.” Chloe snuggled into Beca.

“I can’t believe you make me do this.” Beca complained.

“Oh, shut up. You love this just as much as I do.” Chloe laughed.

Beca rolled her eyes, but Chloe was partially right. Beca both loved and hated cuddling Chloe until she fell asleep. She hated in for the same reason she loved it.

She was in love with Chloe.

And Chloe had no idea.

 Take it If she gives you her heart Don't you break it Let your arms be a place She feels safe in She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her

 “So, you two are literally spooning almost nightly, but you can’t tell her you love her?” Jesse laughed and took a sip of his beer.

“I wouldn’t call it spooning.” Beca practically whispered, looking around the bar.

“No, it’s literally spooning.” Jesse said, not bothering to keep his voice down. “You are straight up friendzoned.”

“And you clearly can’t handle alcohol.” Beca said, grabbing his drink out of his hand.

“Hey!” Jesse protested.

“You can get this back when you stop being an asshole.” Beca said. “Which means you will probably never get it back.”

Jesse laughed and grabbed his drink. “Becs, she likes you. She needs you to help her fall asleep. That’s sickening and possibly adorable.”

“Yeah, and what if you’re wrong?” Beca snapped, taking a swig of her beer. “What if you’re wrong and I completely ruin our friendship and make things totally awkward?”

“You’re probably already making things awkward because you’re in love with her and you’re pretending you aren’t.” Jesse pointed out.

“God.” Becca groaned. “I hate it when you have actual points.”

Jesse winked and took another sip of his beer. “Look. Beca. She’s crazy about you. You two are together all the time and she has these desperate-looking googly eyes whenever you’re around. She’s into you. And it’s really gross, to be honest. Go for it, kid. What’s the worst that will happen?” Jesse laughed. “I mean, I told you I was hot for you and here we are getting drunk on a Tuesday night three years later even though you have absolutely no feelings for me.”

“I mean, that is a good point.” Beca admitted.

“Just go for it, Becs. You hold everything in, why not try trusting people every now and then?” Jesse took anther chug of his drink. “How about the next round is on me?”

“Sounds good.” Beca finished her drink. “I think I’m going to need it.”

  Kiss her with passion As much as you can Run your hands through her hair Whenever she's sad And when she doesn't notice How pretty she is Tell her over and over So she never forgets

 “You’re doing that thing again.” Chloe’s voice interrupted Beca’s thoughts.

“What?” Beca asked, locking her phone.

“Beca, something is clearly going on with you.” Chloe insisted.

“Just drop it, Chloe.” Beca insisted, shoving her phone in her pocket.

“We’ve been best friends for over three years. I’ve told you every stupid thing about me but now something is clearly going on that you think I can’t handle hearing about and you’re keeping me in the dark!”

“It’s complicated.” Beca muttered, avoiding eye contact with the red head. To tell Chloe what was going on with her phone could easily lead to Beca sharing she had feelings for the red head which could lead to Chloe never speaking to her again.

“I’m listening.” Chloe said, taking Beca’s hand. Beca bit her lip, trying to control the rush of emotion that went through her.

“I can’t-”

“Beca, if you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine. I just want to make sure my relationship with you works on both sides. It can’t just be me sharing to you, me complaining to you. I want you to feel like you can trust me, hun.”

“Michelle’s pregnant!” Beca burst out.

“Michelle?” Chloe asked. “Who’s Michelle, Becs?”

“She…we dated…we had plans and we were…” Beca sighed. “It doesn’t matter. She moved on…and I mean I guess I should have by now, and I thought I did…it was high school for Christ’s sake…but I mean, we were going to get married and…fuck, I’m pathetic…”

“Beca, you don’t have to judge how you feel.” Chloe squeezed her hand.

“I was crushed years ago and now I’m…I’m this.” Beca laughed.

Chloe laughed. “And what’s wrong with this? I think this is pretty cool.” Chloe squeezed Beca’s hand. They both stared at each other for a moment. “I think ‘this’ is perfect.” Chloe whispered.

Before Beca knew what was happening, Chloe had pressed her lips against Beca’s. Beca immediately pulled Chloe closer.

“You…you wanted…you also…?” Beca sputtered out in-between kisses.  

Chloe pulled away and giggled. “Honestly, this is what I thought you were hiding.”

“I mean, it was.” Beca laughed. “But I thought if I shared anything all my feelings would just pour out.”

“I knew you were just a big softie under all that attitude.” Chloe giggled, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

“Hey! Beca Mitchell is no softie!” Beca laughed and put her lips back to Chloe’s.

“Wait, wait!” Chloe pulled away. “Does that mean you trust me now?”

Beca laughed. “Chloe. I always trusted you. And I was so, so fucking scared if I told you the truth, I would lose you. And I don’t know what the hell I would do without you, Chlo.”

Chloe grinned and kissed Beca. “I’ll make sure you’ll never have to find out.”

 On days when It feels like the whole World might cave in Stand side by side And you'll make it She's the best thing that you'll ever have She'll love you If you love her like that

Secret Dreams Chapter 10: A court meeting.

Marinette, Penny, and Jagged entered her hotel room, quickly closing and locking everything that could let them be seen from the outside world.

“Are you gonna tell us how you know Bruce’s kid?” Jagged questions as they finished locking up.

“But that would ruin all my fun!” Marinette wines as she handed Kaalki’s miraculous to Penny and Roarr’s miraculous to Jagged.

“I think Plagg has been rubbing off on you too much,” Penny says with amusement, causing Marinette to huff in protest, quickly opening a portal and going through it. Penny did the same thing for herself and Jagged. Not even bothering to transform since she didn’t need to do so, due to the fact she was already an adult.

Penny’s portal had brought Jagged and herself to a large conference room. After a few moments, a portal appeared letting Tomoe, Kagami, and Adrien enter the room. Once that portal shut, a new one opened, Anarka, Alix, Juleka, and Luka stepped through it. The third portal opened with Tom, Sabine, and Chloe stepping out. A fourth portal opened letting Kim, Ondine, Nathaniel, and Marc through. The final portal opened with Max and Marinette exiting it.

All those who exited a portal are members of the 魔盾 Co. (Mó dùn Co.). Some had been members longer than others, although none of the court members kept their miraculi on them anymore. They had come to a unanimous decision that the Grand Guardian, Marinette, was to hold onto all the miraculi. The only reason a court member would hold their miraculi was if they had an important meeting, an emergency, or if their kwami wished to visit. Seeing that each court member had been given their respective miraculous as they were sent through a portal, they could only assume this meeting was very important. 

Each court member took their seats as they started the meet.

“The bat family broke through quite a few of our firewalls,” Marinette informs them.

“Max, Start to rebuild them and upgrade them if possible. Your second chance should help you outrun them if they decide to double back.” Max gives a sharp nod.

“Alix, give Max a hand. Your protection shields should be a big help to Max’s programming.” Alix gave a mock salute as she started manipulating her raw energy into a protection algorithm.

“What do you mean the bat family broke through our firewall!” Kim exclaims.

“About that,” Marinette starts. “I may have gotten caught up in a rogue attack and taken down most of the goons, catching the bat-fam’s attention in the process,” Marinette says as she spins the black cat miraculous on her hand.

Tom let out a resigned sigh, “Of course you did,” he states under his breath.

Sabine simply chuckling in amusement, “Oh, I was already aware of your involvement in the attack. Although I’m more interested in your meeting with the Waynes today.” Sabine lazily informs them with a smirk.

“Stupid time travel mother, always knowing everything.” Marinette huffs under her breath.

“What’s this about the Wayne’s? Oh, and don’t even try to lie. Luka and I will be able to tell based on how your emotions move.” Chloe smirks, causing Marinette to groan.

“You’re all trying to ruin my fun!” Marinette hisses back. Her hiss didn’t have any bite, so the others joined in on the teasing.

“The little rocker knows Wayne’s youngest. They seemed rather chummy too.” Jagged was so ‘kind’ to inform them. The meeting got off-topic as they asked question after question.

Tomoe was the one to get the meeting back on track.“How much information were they able to retrieve?” The dragon wielder inquired.

Marinette cleared her throat as she let a wide grin make its way onto her features. “They didn’t get anything that hadn’t been approved by myself. I also may have got onto a call with them. So..” she trailed off.

“You're joking.” Nathaniel states as a grin of his own appeared. His k-9s are showing just a little bit. Seeming a little too sharp to be normal.

“Nope! I got onto a call with them, so the amount of knowledge they got was controlled by myself,” Marinette replied.

“Nice,” the fox wielder shot back in appreciation.

“And that information was?” Juleka asked with a raised brow

“Let our chaotic cats have their fun. After all, Nathaniel usually only plays with his little mouse.” Kim states teasingly, causing Marc to go red at the implication.

“Exactly, Mari will get there eventually. No need to bee so impatient Queenie.” The goat wielder cackles at his puns. The rest of the court is a mix between chuckle, groans, and glares.

“Adrien, what have we said about the puns!” Chloe groans as she throws her hands into the air.

Not even missing a beat, Adrien replies, “That there not punny.”

“As much fun this chaos is, we should get back on topic,” Anarka interjects.

“Says the chaos monkey herself.” Marinette cheers before a serious look fell in place.

“The information I gave them was from my official 魔盾 Co. (Mó dùn Co.) court file. Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Codename شبح (Shabh). Currently staying in Gotham, New Jersey, America. Court member of eight years. Court rank classified. Runs the company MDC, a front for 魔盾 Co. (Mó dùn Co.). The general stuff.” she informs them.

“They will most likely visit my civilian identity at some point. I also want some of you in Gotham. The amount of curses, hexes, and charms littered around the place is insane. On that note, how do all of you feel about going to a charity gala tomorrow night?” Marinette questions.

The meet continued as normal after they decided that anyone who wouldn’t be seen as out of place will attend the gala with Jagged, Penny, and Marinette. All the court members had a general feeling that Marinette was planning something but couldn’t figure out what it was. 

They looked to Sabine only to see that she wasn’t really worried about anything. The calmness of the rabbit wielder helped soothe their nerves. 

It wasn’t until everyone had gone home that they all seemed to collectively remember that Sabine always lets Marinette have her chaotic fun.

Chapter 5: Don't Jinx It!

·•·—–·•†•·–—·•·

Chloé Bourgeois... A girl that can be described in many words

"She's absolutely ridiculous! I can't believe you have to do an art project with her of all people!" - Alix sprawled out on Marinette's balcony

"She can't be that bad, besides we might become friends." - Marinette sketching some designs

"Believe me, even I think she's a bit much... She's snobby, annoying, rude, immature, spoiled, she basically has the “I'm better than thow” attitude to a T."- Kagami sitting next to the flowerbed while reading a literature book

"See? Even Kagami agrees... Just don't talk to her, actually don't even move if you're in her sights. She's like a T-Rex, she can't see you if you don't move." - Alix

… … … … …

"Hello, I'm Marinette, it's nice to meet you." - Marinette reached out her hand as she smiled

*Que Alix facepalming herself while Kagami lets out a sigh*

"Whatever, I'm Chloé, but I'm sure you already knew that." - Chloé

They started their project and most interactions went the same way, Chloé would sit in a chair near the window and paint her nails while Marinette did all the work. The next day Marinette and Chloé were the only ones in the art room.

"Okay, let's get started." - Marinette skipping her way over to the art supplies

"You do that, I'll just sit over here." - Chloé walking to her chair

"... Say, is it fun painting your nails?" - Marinette looking over to Chloé

"Of course, what girl doesn't like nail art?" - Chloé

"Well, painting on a canvas is kind of like nail art, here try painting something." - Marinette handing Chloé a paint brush

"Please, I don't do art." - Chloé refusing the paint brush

"But you ‘Paint’ your nails." - Marinette

"It's different!" - Chloé

"Okay, how about this, if I can do a magic trick for you, will you try painting just a little bit?" - Marinette

"...Fine, impress me." - Chloé giving Marinette her full attention

Marinette pulled a seed she got earlier that day out of her pocket and showed it to Chloé

"A seed?" - Chloé giving an unimpressed look

"I'll turn it into a flower, as you can see I only have this seed, and there's nothing up my sleeves. When I turn back around this seed will be a flower, are you ready?" - Marinette still holding the seed for Chloé to see

"Just do it already." - Chloé

So, Marinette turned around putting her free hand over the seed, and imagined it growing. When Marinette turned back around, all Chloé saw was a fully bloomed Common Rockrose flower, leaving her stunned.

"How did you do that?!" - Chloé walking up to Marinette to get a better look at the flower

"Family secret." - Marinette with a small smirk - "So, you want to try painting now?"

"... Fine." - Chloé pouted her lips and sat down at an empty canvas while Marinette walked to the table beside it, and Marinette may or may not have seen a small smile on Chloé's face while she grabbed some more paint.

After about 30 minutes Alix and Kagami came in and found Chloé and Marinette flinging water paint at the canvas

"Ha!" - Marinette whiped her arm out, watching as the wet paint from the brush splattered onto the canvas

"Ha HA!" - Chloé doing the exact same motion, but with a little more flare

Kagami and Alix just stared in amazed silence... they had created a master piece... It was a magnificent painting showing a meadow with many flowers in an almost hazy dream kind of look,  it had a blue sky and a faint rainbow in the background behind some clouds on the horizon

"It's *sniff* Ridiculously beautiful..." - Chloé

"And you thought painting was boring." - Marinette teasing Chloé

"... Isley-Quinzel, look me in the face and say that again." - Chloé

"And you- ("Boop" - Chloé) -Hey!" - Marinette got booped on her nose by Chloé's paint covered finger

"I admit it was fun... to some extent. Now lets act like this never happened." - Chloé getting ready to leave

"How the hell did you get Chloé to paint?!" - Alix snapping out of her surprise, which caused Chloé to get startled and trip, knocking the paint onto Marinette and herself in the process

"Well... that was a colorful entrance." - Marinette now covered in blue, pink, green and red paint

"Utterly Ridiculous!" - Chloé now covered in yellow, dark green, and blue paint

"Ooops?" - Alix shrugging her shoulders

*facepalms* - Kagami

… … …

Marinette and Chloé had to walk around school covered in paint, definitely getting a few awkward stares from the other kids. About an hour later, each pair of students presented their shared work of art. When Marinette and Chloé went up, both holding their masterpiece while still covered in paint, stunned the other students.(Not because Chloé was 1. covered in paint, 2. actually carrying the painting, and 3. had a smile on her face) Needless to say they got an A+, and for the rest of the day Marinette, Chloé, Alix and Kagami hung out laughing and having fun. Not long after that the other kids started making bets on who Marinette would befriend next, and how long it would take for that someone to be an instant friend.

Chloé ended up spending a lot more time with the GPS and eventually...

The girls sat around in a circle within Marinette's room with all the lights off, only having a single lamp in the center of the room to add an ominous glow

"Are you ready to take the oath?" - Alix

"Yes, but why do we have to make it look like some utterly ridiculous ritual summoning?" - Chloe

"I agree with Chloé, I'm not allowed to summon the unnatural or paranormal." - Kagami

"Well, let's forget the paranormal stuff for now, ehem. Chloé Bourgeois, do you promise to always have our backs..." - Marinette

"Through the good and the bad..." - Alix

"To say the truth and nothing but the truth." - Kagami

"Wrong oath Kagami." - Marinette whispering to Kagami

"...... To always stay on the path that is straight and true..." - Kagami

"To uphold the justice in this crazy world..." - Alix

"And to guide those who have abandoned the light... Are you ready to join the GPS?" - Marinette

"Yes." - Chloé

"Girls, time to eat- ... Marinette, please tell me you aren't summoning the unnatural like Harley did that one time." - Selina just opening the door and seeing basically a ritual gathering

"In mom's defense, she was trying to get rid of the spooky spirit." - Marinette

"That was from a story Ed made up that one time, you wouldn't stop seeing the shadows ‘moving’, and then Harley thought she saw them move, and she ended up doing a ritual to get rid of it, but we ended up with the cursed toaster ghost. And now all bread we toast is burnt back home." - Selina

"... But burnt toast is the best!" - Marinette

"Ivy told you that it would make you grow quicker, which then tricked you into liking burnt toast, which isn't tasty at all." - Selina

"*dramatic gasp* You Take That Back!" - Marinette

"Nope, now come down in 3 so we can eat." - Selina closed the door and walked away

"You girls agree with me right?" - Marinette turning to her friends

"... Marinette, how can you think burnt toast is good?!" - Alix

"It's... burnt." - Kagami

"Ehhh, it's okay." - Chloé

"Thank You!" - Marinette hugging Chloé

"... un-second thought, I retract my ‘yes’ to that oath." - Chloé

"Too late." - Kagami

"You're stuck with us..." - Alix then leaned over and whispered in Chloé's ear - "Foreverrrrr."

……… ……… ………

After they had their food they went back up to Marinette's (ritual free) room and started playing Ultimate Mecha Strike 2.

After a few rounds of Marinette dominating Ultimate Mecha Slaughter Strike 2, they moved on to watching some Jurassic Park

"So... your mom cursed your toaster?" - Chloé

"... maybe." - Marinette

"Honestly though, who in their right mind likes burnt toast?" - Alix

"Apparently Marinette." - Kagami

"It's kinda like thin burnt rice crispy treats, just minus the sugar." - Marinette

"*dramatic gasp* You Take That Back Right Now." - Alix

"You don't even know what rice crispy treats are, do you." - Marinette now looking away from the TV and directly at Alix

"Not a clue." - Alix

"It's an American treat, it's actually really good, not to sweet, and not to crunchy." - Chloé

"This is why you are part of the GPS." - Marinette hugging Chloé - "You understand most red blooded American treats, and for that I give you my thanks." - Marinette now starting to tear up

"What are we, chop liver?" - Kagami pointing to Alix and herself

"Well unlike you two, I have seen the other side... I swear, they're all hillbillies, and they live in the worst weather ever! Sunshine state my ass, more like out door saunas 24/7." - Chloé ended up mumbling her last few words

"... That's Florida, and it's not that bad, it never gets hotter than 115°F, and that's during summer." - Marinette

"... No wonder you like burnt toast... your brains were burnt with it." - Alix

"I didn't live in Florida, I lived in New Jersey, and the weather is better there." - Marinette

"That's what she said." - Kagami stuffing her face with popcorn

……… ……… ………

Over the course of the next few months Marinette taught the GPS all she knew about parkour and self-defense, at first they wondered why she knew so many different techniques of self-defense, until she explained where she grew up had a few unpleasant people. They still think she's meta.

When Winter rolled around she was to head back to Gotham for the next month and a half. She was packed and ready when the GPS burst into her room.

"Don't leave! I need an Ice skating buddie!" - Alix clinging to Marinette

"You have Chloé and Kagami, besides, I'm pretty sure Kagami is better on the ice than I am." - Marinette accepting the fact she won't be getting Alix off her anytime soon

"It's Not The Same!" - Alix becoming a human koala on Marinette's back

"She's going to see her family, show some restraint!" - Chloé detaching Alix from Marinette

"No!" - Alix getting out of Chloé's grip and reattaching herself to Marinette

"There's a new attraction with a big ramp jump for the ice skating rink." - Kagami on her phone

"Really?! Let me see!" - Alix detaching herself to look at Kagami's phone, only to see the normal boring ice skating rink - "You tricked me." - Alix gave Kagami the stink eye

"It got you off of Marinette at least." - Kagami putting her phone away

"I'm gonna miss you girls." - Marinette gave them a big hug

"You better not do anything stupid while you're back home." - Chloé

"I would never." - Marinette thinking of the time she ran from the Bat-Birds

"What city in New Jersey do you live in again?" - Alix

"That's-" - Marinette

"Kitten you all set for Gotham?" - Selina opened the door and saw Marinette in a big hug with the girls - "Oh, you girls are here, hope you said your goodbyes because we're leaving in 10 minutes." - She then closed the door to make sure everything was ready downstairs

"... ... ..." - Chloé/Alix/Kagami - "You live where?"

"Gotham...?" - Marinette slowly backing up to grab her luggage and make her way to the door

"Oh hell No!" - Kagami standing between Marinette and the door

"You're staying!" - Alix clinging to Marinette again

"Gotham's a death trap!!!" - Chloé joining Alix and clinging to Marinette

... ... ...

After some convincing the girls let Marinette go, and she was now on the plane that would take her back home.

"... They really think Gotham's a death trap?" - Selina relaxing in the first class seats she got them.

"It's not that bad is it? I had asked them what they thought could even go wrong." - Marinette

"... Well literally everything can go wrong in Gotham... It's not to late to get off actually." - Selina getting up

"Not you too!" - Marinette grabbing her Aunt's hand

"I'm joking Kitten... you are wearing the bullet proof vest under that coat right?" - Selina

"Of course." - Marinette

"Then we should be fine..." - Selina now sitting back down and looking 10 times more nervous than before

"..." - Marinette put her hands together and mumbled under her breath - "Please don't jinx it. Please don't jinx it. Please don't jinx it. Pleeeeease don't jinx it."

……………… They had an hour delay, had to switch flights and couldn't eat anything because it looked like it would give them food poisoning, and they didn't get a wink of sleep......... but they made it to Gotham in one piece... at 2 in the morning.

"You jinxed it." - Marinette dragging her luggage sleepily

"It can't get any worse now-" - Selina

"No!-" - As Marinette tried to stop her Aunt from finishing her sentence, a truck past by the curb and sent a blanket of powdered snow flying into them - "-say it..."

"...Okay, now it-" - Selina was cut off by Marinette stuffing her mouth with the last secret cookie she had

"Don't anger the jinx gods, please." - Marinette pleading to her Aunt

After Selina finished the secret cookie she called Ivy to pick them up. They waited about 15 minutes before Ivy, along with a sleeping Harley in the back seat, picked them up. As they got in the car Harley jolted awake

"Are we dere yet?" - Harley rubbing her eyes

"Yes, and in our snow covered glory we entered the car." - Marinette giving her mom a hug

"I missed yuh so much, it just hasn't been de same wit'outcha cupcake." - Harley returning the hug

"And what about me, did you miss me?" - Selina getting comfortable in the passenger seat

"Ehhh." - Harley tilted here hand from side to side as she continued to side hug Marinette

"... Have I ever told you how great you are at warm welcomes?" - Selina giving Harley the stink eye

"She didn't mean it, you know she has no filter at this hour." - Ivy pulling up to the stoplight

"In other words her honest opinion of me being back is ‘ehhh’, I'm glad she thinks so highly of me." - Selina resting her head on the window

The ride to their base was peaceful, they arrived and went to their rooms after Marinette gave her moms and aunt a goodnight hug. As Marinette went to sleep in her bed, Bud and Lou jumped onto the bed and curled up next to her, as she stroked their fur, she couldn't help but feel excited to spend time with her family and friends. She soon fell asleep in the calm silence of her room, the last thought she had before drifting off, was that she was happy to be back home.

So, for all the Miraculous Ladybug fans who are wondering about that new Zoé character, here is my theory:

Zoé’s last name is Zimmer. She was born in France but grew up in New Jersey. She’s a lesbian, though it took her a while to figure that out. And she’s friends with a teenage girl who is secretly a world-famous superhero: Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel.

[Image description: Comic panel: A girl with blond hair with a red streak dyed into it, telling someone off-screen: “I don’t… I don’t like boys, Josh. I never really have. But they’ve always liked me, so I just sort of… went with the program. I know I was super mean to you a lot when we were going out, but it wasn’t because I thought you were stupid. If anything, I was angry at myself.”]

(Source: Ms. Marvel (2015-2019) #9)

I’m not kidding. Zoe Zimmer (spelled without the accent) is a real Marvel comics character who very much looks like the new Zoé on Miraculous Ladybug - after the latest “Endgame”-style massive crossover shakeup changed her outlook on life anyway; before that, she’s more or less the same as Chloé. 

[Image Description: A comics page, set in a New Jersey Bodega. Zoe comes in, without the red streak in her hair, and asks for her usual. The cashier, Bruno, tells her that this is not a Starbucks and she has to get her coffee herself. Zoe says, “God, I only buy stuff here to top you, because I’m concerned about your economic situation. You should be nice”. Other characters discuss an ongoing party. Then Zoe says to a girl who is wearing a hijab, “Your headscarf is so pretty, Kiki, I love that color”. The girl corrects her and says that her name is Nakia. Zoe ignores that and says, “But I mean… nobody pressured you to start wearing it, right? Your father or somebody? Nobody’s going to, like, honour kill you? I’m just concerned”]

(Source: Ms. Marvel (2014-2015) #1)

The current Ms Marvel comic is easily one of the best of its wave of new titles that came out around 2014; a wave that actually includes several of my all-time favourites, so it’s not like it got that title just handed to it. It’s set in Jersey City and follows Kamala Khan, a pakistani-american muslim teenage girl who can transform into the shapeshifting superhero Ms. Marvel.

In the comic, Zoe appears right from the start, in the page I showed above, and is essentially your standard Chloe, Coredelia Chase or Draco Malfoy character: Rich, arrogant, a bit antagonistic but mostly an annoyance. Her particular deal is that she acts superficially nice, but clearly does not care about the people around her at all, which makes her rather infuriating.

Then Marvel does the super annoying “super important crossover” that they do every five years or so, the kind of weirdly popular stupid shit that movie goers have finally had to endure as well with Endgame. Worlds get rearranged, mini-series get spawned, time gets skipped, Rose Rowell proves she can write Runaways, and we end up basically where we left off, just a few months later with some characters evolved a bit, and Zoe profited the most from that.

That whole thing with the world almost ending gave her some kind of existential crisis, and now she’s going this what-does-it-all-mean phase.” On the left, Nakia from before is walking, saying, “Morning sleepyhead! Zoe brought caffeine!” In the middle, Zoe is walking, now with red and light blue streaks in her hair and carrying two cups of coffee, saying, “Are you going to gym class? I’m thinking of coming down with sudden flu-like symptoms…”. On the right and in the foreground, a sleep-deprived Kamala Khan is saying “Buhh…”. A final narration box says, “What can I say? It’s like we’re all growing up”]

She is now actually nice, making an effort to understand the people around her and, as I said initially, to actually understand herself. And she’s got a red streak in her hair. Initially it’s light blue and red, presumably to honour Ms Marvel, whose color scheme is blue, red and gold - yes, just like Captain Marvel, that’s by design. The artists very quickly settled on only red, though, which means… well, she looks like the new Zoé in Miraculous Ladybug.

And yes, she does get to be a superhero, although in that case that mostly means her and her friends dressing up like Ms. Marvel on their own, with no super-powers.

All in all, it seems like nearly the exact same thing as the new Zoé character in Miraculous Ladybug, just perhaps two years older. Is that just a coincidence?

…yeah, probably. It’s honestly not that creative; both Zoes seem to be the result of similar character archetypes, and Zoe Zimmer isn’t even the only of her kind in Marvel comics. There is a lot of overlap with Karolina Dean, for example, even though Karolina is incredibly good-hearted. At the end of the day, neither Ms. Marvel nor Miraculous Ladybug invented truly new concepts; what makes them unique and fun are the details they add to their well-known frameworks. I’m posting all this only because I think the coincidence is funny and interesting.

Anyway, if you’re into american comics, or want to be, then I can strongly recommend Ms. Marvel (specifically the runs written by G. Willow Wilson). A TV show for Disney+ is also in the works.

And if it turns out that this new Zoé actually is from New Jersey, then I want it known that I friggin’ called it.
