#lila exposed aftermath

[ijustliketoreadstuff]

Lets talk about the London special trailer

Disney channel France released the trailer for the London special, lets dive in and see what's happening. I know TF1 also released another trailer but I want the majority of the special to be a surprise, so I'm just going to analyze one. I'm gonna try to piece together what parts of the trailer are in order, the first being of course Ladybug traveling to London with a very sad look on her face. The London special takes place in the season 5 finale, right after Monarch used the miraculous to make a wish , so of course she feels very troubled on account of that she just witnessed a lot of dark secrets unfold within the Agreste family, during her battle against Monarch at the Agreste mansion.

To top it all off, she even watched in horror as Gabriel chose to die to bring back Nathalie who we saw healthy and alive at the end of the season 5 finale, sitting alongside Amelie.

At this point in the London trailer, Ladybug is aware that Adrien needs to know his father is dead, but this reality will of course be very difficult for Ladybug to say and for Adrien to hear, since he has essentially now lost both his parents. Worst of all, Ladybug knows she cannot comfort Adrien as his girlfriend while she is still Ladybug, and must refrain from showing him too much emotion otherwise she will risk exposing her true identity.

Unfortunately, Adrien was just one part of the aftermath she has to confront, she also has to deal with the public who will of course find out on their own that Monarch is gone from his inactivity alone and will be needing some kind of answer to prevent them from trying to dig on their own about what really went on between Ladybug and Monarch's fight, especially once the entire world finds out that Gabriel Agreste had also gone missing the day Ladybug faced Monarch.

Marinette knows she cannot tell the public Gabriel was Monarch because the consequences from that truth alone would very quickly turn into a violent backlash against Adrien, who had no fault in his fathers choice to be the villain of Paris. She alone is fully aware there are people out there who will not listen to reason as many are already willing to turn against her alone, spreading misinformation and unnecessary hate about her ("Reunion").

Although many people close to Adrien know he would never try to harm anyone the way his father did, the pain and trauma Gabriel inflicted on so many citizens when he was Monarch, will of course leave some people more than willing to find someone to blame for his actions, and the closest to attack will be Adrien if they ever learn of Monarchs identity.

Gabriel left a great burden to Marinette when he asked her not to let Adrien find out he was Monarch, and as much as Marinette hated being asked to carry such a burden, Gabriel knew he left her no other choice, he knew Marinette's love for Adrien could be used to his advantage and force her to keep his identity a secret if she ever wanted to spare Adrien of the pain and consequences that would follow after he was gone.

Next we have what we can easily conclude is the antagonist of the special, this ghost looking person. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is not Lila despite seeing them in Lila's hideout, the reason being is because at the end of the season 5 finale, we saw Lila in her lair caught by surprise as a bright light suddenly appeared behind her, whatever that light was must have been from this ghost person who did something to Lila.

We don't know who this ghost person is yet, but they know Marinette is Ladybug, knowing exactly where she lives and that her earrings are the ladybug miraculous despite the jewels being in camouflage. In addition to taking the earrings, they also took all the other miraculous that were reconfigured into rings, what they plan to do with all that power, we still wont know until the special releases.

Regardless, whatever this person is doing, it's something that was not meant to happen in the timeline as we can see that their actions have alerted Bunnyx, who very quickly pulls Marinette into the burrow not long after Marinette realizes her earrings and the other miraculous were taken.

In the burrow, Bunnyx and Marinette watch as the various timelines in the time stream are turning black and disappearing, of course they will need to handle whatever it is that messed up the river of time in the first place, but what caused it? If the time stream could be affected by an anomaly such as Ladybug writing her real name on her gift to Adrien back in "Cat Blanc", then this could mean someone out there did something, something small, that they were not supposed to.

Unfortunately, without her earrings, Marinette can't do much against whoever took the miraculous and is now messing up the timestream, she needs the ladybug earrings. The only way she can use them while they are missing, is by borrowing them from another point in time when she wasn't using them. It's not the first time she had to borrow a miraculous from another point in time, they asked Fu from the past to let them borrow the dog miraculous in "Evolution". The only point in Marinette's life when she wasn't wearing the earrings to use in case of an emergency was in "Origins" when she wasn't ready to take on the responsibility of a hero, and that's exactly where we see her travel to in the London trailer. Back in "Origins" Marinette left the earrings in her drawer for the rest of the day, a perfect time for future Marinette to take them temporarily without alerting anyone or causing any damage to the timeline.

Well that just about covers everything in the trailer, now to wait for the official release, see you all in therapy!

Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Rewrite: The Romance Subplot for the Planned Seasons

One of my goals for my rewrite is to make the romance subplot of the series less drawn-out, more cathartic, feature more of the side ships of Lukanette, Adrigami, and even Marichat, and also get more gay. So without further ado, here's the romance subplot for the first five seasons:

Season 1 (Equivalent to seasons 1 and 2, twice the length of a normal season): Basic lovesquare antics. Marinette loves Adrien, but not Chat Noir. Adrien loves Ladybug, but not Marinette. They're also both fucked-up. Marinette knows Adrien's schedule and far too many personal details about him. Adrien as Chat acts entitled to Ladybug's love and even causes an akuma with his entitlement. He does get raked over the coals for that and after Glaciator/the Ice Cream akuma becomes far more respectful towards Ladybug, but still harbors love for her. He starts to move on from her after Frozer/the Ice Skating akuma, however.

Season 2 (Equivalent to season 3): The love square reversal happens a few episodes in. Yes, really. Adrien gets over Ladybug in favor of Marinette, while Marinette tries to put her feelings of Adrien aside to prove to her class that she isn't just jealous of Lila and targets Chat Noir instead. She does act salty at Kagami for a few episodes, however. During the kwamiswap Lady Noire is utterly down bad for Mister Bug as they fight All Eyes on Mecha. Desperada's arc of Ladybug picking Adrien in favor of Luka is replaced with picking Chat in favor of Luka. The season 5 episode where Marinette and Chat Noir go on a date and gets the ice cream man akumatized occurs here. Alya has doubts about Marinette's crush. She's right, and eventually Marinette realizes that and goes back to Adrien. Since the two are in love with eachother, things work out quickly and easily and they get together and kiss by the season finale.

Season 3 (Equivalent to seasons 3 and 4): On the first episode of Season 3 Adrienette has a horrific messy breakup after Adrien discovers the Schedule and similar things. I was thinking of putting it four episodes in, but I decided 1. it would be better if it was the beginning of the season and 2. I want Adrienette fans to feel the same despair I felt as a Lukanette and Adrigami fan at the start of season 4. The rest of the season focuses on the aftermath of this nightmare breakup. Ladybug and Chat Noir comfort and give advice to each other about the breakup and coalesce into a queerplatonic couple. They still don't figure out their identities because they're dumb teens. Marinette and Adrien start dating Luka and Kagami respectively halfway through the season and their relationships get plenty of time to shine. Marinette genuinely falls in love with Luka. Same with Adrien and Kagami. The love square is dead. Good riddance. Thankfully, Marinette does apologize to Adrien, and they make up and become just friends.

Season 4 (Equivalent to season 4): Here's some context: in the Season 3 finale, Hawkmoth was finally defeated but not Coeur, the woman behind Hawkmoth. What's worse is 1. Master Fu had to abdicate guardianship to Ladybug and 2. Coeur managed to discover multiple hero identities. So now Ladybug is working overtime creating guardian potions and doing nightly patrols to check up on everyone who got exposed. She's getting stressed, she's burning herself out, and so her parents start helping her with her guardian duties (they've known since season 1,) giving Ladybug a support group that she's not telling Chat Noir about. And kittycat's getting suspicious. He knows Ladybug's not telling him information and in general he feels like he's on the level of the side heroes rather than one of the main two, causing relationship troubles in their queerplatonic couple. Chat Noir starts training to compensate for this, to the point where he awakening his fullest Miraculous powers (infinite cataclysms!). All of this hard work for both of them causes strain in their civilian relationships, and they unfortunately have to break up because of it and because they can't tell Luka/Kagami their secret identities. And then Luka accidentally finds out both heroes' identities while Kagami manages to figure them out on her own. As for the stuff between Ladybug and Chat Noir, it gets resolved by Cat Walker, although here Ladybug is more unnerved by Cat Walker, and she apologizes to Chat Noir and lets him as much in the loop as she can without compromising her identity.

Season 5 (Equivalent to season 5 except not really): Ladybug and Chat Noir are back as a queerplatonic couple, baby! The two of them against the world! And also the other heroes! The fun parts come from their civilian relationships. Luka and Kagami, now that they know our heroes' identities, start dating them again, but the other way around. Lukadrien and Marigami. These relationships are arguably better than the other ones, too. Luka and Adrien share so much in common that they really get eachother, while Marinette is more comfortable with her sexuality and has a girlfriend that pushes her to be more, and Kagami has a loving relationship with little-to-no secrets! Rose is ecstatic. Tomoe is pissed because no Adrigami. Also, at the end of the season, after Coeur fucking dies and Felix, her last minion, is arrested for being a butt, we finally get an identity reveal between Ladybug and Chat Noir! And if this ends up as the series finale, Lukadrien and Marigami converge into the polycule of the gods, Lukadrigaminette!

Chloe’s Story Pt 2

Marinette almost groaned as Chloe called her, gesturing to Alya to wait a second. What did she want? She picked up the phone, and sighed. “What is it Chloe?” she said, only to be interrupted by coughs and sobs. Marinette sighed again. “If this is about bird poop on your designer shoes again, I’m hanging up.” Alya snickered behind her, making her best friend laugh too. Soon, they were both laughing, not even noticing that Chloe hung up. She stared as her screen went black, her sobs slowing down as she remembered. Marinette and Chloe weren’t friends. She had thought they were, helping her expose Lila, gaining everyone back. But of course, the whole point was so Marinette could have Alya back, and Chloe was left alone, just like she always was. She wiped her tears away furiously, groaning. Almost resigned, the heartbroken teenager began walking back to her house, slowly. When she reached the hotel, she didn’t expect a fork whizzing past her head. She dodged it, but barely, grazing her cheek enough to draw blood. Chloe hissed in pain, but couldn’t say she was surprised. Her mother must have found out about the affair. The screams could have been heard from New York, her parents fighting loud and violent. Multiple things could be heard crashing, but none of them relented, instead screaming louder. Chloe was about to back out when her mother stormed up to her, livid. “YOU! YOU WERE A DOWNRIGHT BRAT FROM THE START CLEO!” Audrey screamed, slapping Chloe across the cheek. She gasped, but didn’t react much more than that. After all, she was almost used to it. Audrey slapped her again. “HOW DARE YOUR FATHER CHEAT ON ME!” she spat, as if it was Chloe’s fault. The teenager swallowed, knowing it was about to get even more violent. Audrey picked up the charcuterie board Nadia and Andre had abandoned and grinned almost sadistically. “It would have been so much better if you weren’t born at all.” she said, then hit her daughter on the head with the board, splitting it in two. Chloe yelped in pain, her vision suddenly dizzy, staggering. “I-” she started, but her mother beat her to it. “You’re just a spoiled rich brat, just like your father.” she said, and grabbed a champagne bottle. “I wish you didn’t exist, but it’s better late than never.” she cackled, then smashed the bottle against Chloe’s head. She swayed, her vision slowly fading as she staggered to the floor. Then, the whole world went black.

————————————————————————

This is the next part of the first little snippet I posted. Let me know if I should continue, or it’s fine as just a sad two shot. I’ve also started writing the aftermath of The Corey Curse, and @animechefgirl454 has also given me ideas for it! Feel free to share opinions and give requests, and have a great day ❤️❤️❤️!

Letters to Lovers (And the Aftermath of Cherry Wine)

by whoscountinganyway

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Damian Wayne are pen-pals for three years as their schools get in contact to prepare Francoise Dupont a trip to Gotham for all the nearly bilingual students. During that time, Marinette never expected to fall in love (and Damian never expected to fall with her).

Once he finds out about Lila and all of her lies — manipulation — he just knows the perfect way to stop her.

His Angel is never going to be hurt again. Damian is going to make sure of it.

hey im new here on tumblr do i make my request here? , if yes then theres this mlb salt idea and it wouldnt leave my mind , what if the class was a mariharem and when lila came they broke up with her for"not being the nice girl they used to know anymore",and instead of being heartbroken marinette felt relieved like a burden got off her shoulder,she moved to ms.m class and peoplesaw this as achanse to become her new harem,lila get exposed,the class try to get back with her but her new harem prote

Sorry it took so long. Hope this is the kind of story you were looking for. Let me know what you think. Welcome to tumblr!

Mrs. Bustier’s class all loved Marinette, and they had all been collectively dating her for a long time now. She is such a talented designer and so passionate about her work. She was an amazing leader too, and was a great class rep. Always willing to lend a hand to anyone who asked, Marinette was so sweet to everyone she met.

-----------------------

So imagine the class’ confusion when Lila kept telling them about how Marinette was being so cruel to her. The class didn’t want to believe their sweet Marinette was capable of being so mean to someone. It just didn’t seem like her. Maybe Lila was confused? Maybe she misunderstood things? The class just refused to believe such a preposterous idea like their Marinette being a bully.

----------------------

Then Lila showed them proof. Threatening and mean emails, texts, and notes, all from Marinette. She had pictures of bruises and scrapes, from where Marinette had pushed her around. They were horrified by what they saw. How could Marinette do this? They knew they had to put their foot down, they loved Marinette, but this was too much.

---------------------

Marinette came in the next day and the class told her they were all done dating her. They couldn’t stand by while Marinette did these horrible things. So they weren’t going to be seeing her anymore. They had also decided to remove her as class rep for the time being. 

--------------------

Marinette was upset by what had happened, but also saw it as a chance for a new start. She had been wanting to leave Mrs. Bustier’s class for sometime, but had stayed. She stayed for them. On top of that, she was the class rep. She felt that she couldn’t leave. But now, there was nothing holding her in the class and she could finally escape the liar.

-------------------

Marinette put in for her transfer to a new class and was quickly approved. She moved to Mrs. Mendeleiev’s class by the next week and was quickly accepted into her new class.

-----------------

The rest of the school were shocked by Mrs. Bustier’s class and how they dumped Marinette. But they saw this as an opportunity to finally get closer to Marinette themselves. Her new class quickly came to a similar arrangement as Mrs. Bustier’s class and started dating Marinette themselves. Marinette and her new class were very happy together.

-------------------

About a month later, Lila was revealed on complete accident. Alya had thought she would gather Lila’s celebrity friends for a party in her honor, since Lila had just got nominated for an award for all her acts of service. But all Alya got were confused replies, asking who Lila was. 

----------------

The class was shocked their friend had been lying the whole time, and were horrified to realize they had left Marinette for now reason. They immediately went looking for Marinette to apologize and ask for her to come back to them. But when they found Marinette, she was surrounded by her new class. 

-------------------

They tried to approach Marinette and get her back, but her new class circled around her and wouldn’t let them close to Marinette. They tried to apologize, to beg for her to come back. But she politely told them no, and her new class pushed them back, keeping them away from Marinette.

-------------------

The class had lost the kind young designer, and they would never get her back. Marinette was happy with her new class and Mrs. Mendeleiev’s class was thrilled to be close with Marinette, growing to love her more with each day. Marinette was happier than she had been in a while. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bustier’s class lamented the loss of the girl they loved. 

[bigfatbreak]

I want to see the aftermath of Lila being exposed by lady clarity, I mean she’s useless to Hawkmoth now right?

(Also I use voice to text for this and it corrected hawk moth to HOK mouth)

its not Hawkmoth she needs to worry about, honestly.

...needless to say, Lila won’t be getting any Akuma’s to exacerbate her tantrums anytime soon, either.

ML Reboot: Miraculous: Heroes of Miracles: Kagami Tsurugi

-Kagami is introduced in Season 2. Though Adrien, Felix and Chloé met her when they were kids.

-Kagami was chosen to be Masqué’s Champion. And she was trained since she was five. Mastering the Zodiac created Variation of the Guardians martial art. (I’m changing mirakungfu because it sounds dumb. The Guardian’s martial art is called “Endless Flow” Fist) This fighting style is the “Endless Impact” fist.

-Kagami goes by the name of Ryuuko when using the dragon miraculous. Just like in the original show. But her outfit is more based off Samurai, and more draconic in appearance.

-Kagami is usually very stoic, and her meeting Adrien again helps her come out of her shell.

-She and Marinette end up developing a close friendship, which is funny because Ryuuko becomes Ladybug’s rival

-Ryuuko appears in season 3, and she shows up saving Agent Volpina.

-Kagami is the most sheltered character, as she was raised basically to be the Enforcer of Masqué. And the heir of the Tsurugi.

-Kagami starts getting encouraged by Felix, Adrien, and Marinette to have more fun.

-Felix figures out she is Ryuuko, and asks her what’s up with that. After she saved him from a collapsing building

-Ryuuko thought she would need to end Felix after. But he told her he would “figure a way to free her”. He wasn’t scared, he was determined.

-Kagami eventually tells her mother she doesn’t want to be Ryuuko anymore. That she wants to be her own person and not the person she is making her be.

-Tomoe believes she is doing everything that’s best for her daughter, until Masqué captures her and decides to punish her like a traitor. That’s when she realizes her mistake

-Kagami ends up telling Alya and Felix everything she knew about Masqué. Unfortunately the Leader of Masqué showed up and kidnapped her. She gave Felix her miraculous, looking at him

-“You better keep your promise”

-It was around this time that Lila had seen Kagami in the cell. Lila was already going through her issues of what she discovered.

-Kagami talks to Lila telling her how they were both tricked and they need to escape.

-Lila ends up unlocking Kagami’s cell and leaves. Saying “it may be a lie, but it’s all I know”

-Kagami ends up leaving and fighting some of the “Masks” (servants of the organization)

-When she was getting overwhelmed, when Dragoknight shows up.

-“I kept my promise afterall.”

-Kagami and Dragoknight make their way to see Chat noir fighting Hawkmoth. They help him overcome Him and take the butterfly miraculous. Unfortunately he escapes.

-Dragoknight was going to give Kagami the miraculous, but she says it’s a good look for him. Adrien gives the butterfly to Kagami, saying he and ladybug could use the support.

-Sasakia makes her first appearance.

-Dragoknight does get bested and the miraculous is taken by the Head of Masqué. But gets saved by Sasakia. Who helps him escape.

-Sasakia also gets her mother out, who ended up blinded by the aftermath.

-Masqué crumbled and most of the people involved were arrested. Tomoe making a plea deal in exposing them.

-Kagami ends up going to school with the group from season 4 onwards. She ends up dating Felix shortly after this.

-In season 5, Kagami is focused on being an Olympian, and has focused on Fencing and Archery. She is the number one candidate in France currently.

Funfacts

-Kagami is the second oldest of the group, only being a month younger than Nino.

-Kagami Knows 4 languages. Japanese, English, French and Italian.

-Tomoe was the third highest in Masqué. And Kagami would have taken her place should they had stayed.

-Kagami trained for years before receiving Longg. And actually receiving the miraculous a little before Marinette and Adrien. Making her the one of the group that had a miraculous the longest.

-Kagami has a habit of comparing situations to manga or dramas. As that was her main exposure of the outside world. (Often reading in secret)

-Kagami is the most skilled physical fighter of the group, as she was trained from a young age.

-Kagami technically knew Lila the longest, but met Felix first.

-Kagami can easily bridal carry Felix

-Kagami is very blunt and has no understanding of sarcasm originally.

-According to Fu, Kagami is likely the most dangerous miraculous user if left unchecked.

-Kagami and Lila are the only ones of the team that know “Endless Impact” fist

Gang of Secrets Aftermath

Because I want it and I’m a writer so *hands you head canon post on a silver platter*

Alya hugs the absolute crap out of Marinette as she ends up sobbing into her shoulder from stress and exhaustion.

Alya is soothing Marinette, eyeing the widows, doors, and every crack an akuma could squeeze in through.

Even long after Marinette has stopped crying, they were still hugging. She took comfort in Alya’s arms around her.

“...Alya?”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you.”

Alya squeezed her tighter. Marinette deserved this.

“I’ll always be here for you, Marinette. Don’t you forget that.”

They pulled apart, Marinette wiped the tear stains off her cheeks and she huffed out a small laugh.

“I’m surprised you’re taking this so well.”

“I’m holding it in. You really needed a friend.”

Marinette smiled as she braced herself. “You can let it out now.”

Alya breathed as she stood up. She went over to Marinette’s computer and pulled up a picture of Ladybug and made it fullscreen. She looked at Marinette, then to the Ladybug picture, then back to Marinette.

*inhales*

“I... I can’t believe it! My best friend! You- You’re Ladybug! How could I have not seen it? I mean I know I couldn’t have seen it, but you’re fighting Hawkmoth and saving Paris everyday!” Alya stammers. “When? Wait I know when, but how? I just- It’s been you this whole time. Everything makes since now, you being late, odd excuses, why you picked me to be Rena Rouge. I feel like my brain is exploding!”

Marinette laughed.

Alya replayed today’s events and relaxed. “But wait, Ladybug said that she’s now the guardian when she-you gave me the necklace, which makes you the guardian. What does that even mean? Actually, no don’t tell me, it’s probably incredibly important and stressful, and you’ve been having a stressful time, I don’t want to add to that.”

Marinette sighed. “No, it’s fine, it just means I have a lot of responsibility now on top of being Ladybug.” It felt so weird to say that to her best friend, but it felt like a huge weight was being lifted off her shoulders.

“I’ll help you in any and every way I can, you can count on me.”

“Thanks Alya.”

Alya goes home and marinates with this new information.

She swore on her life that she wouldn't tell a single sole this information

As she’s pacing in her room, she’s debating on completely deleting the LadyBlog.

She ends up spending hours completely reformatting the website. Taking down the “Who’s Ladybug” posts and adding a couple of mental health posts. She makes a post about giving back to Ladybug and Chat Noir by working together to figure out who Hawkmoth is.

As she’s reviewing her LadyBlog, she finds a few old videos The first one was Ladybug noticing her in a sea of reporters and commenting her on her work on the LadyBlog (The Mime episode). Marinette did that for her, and she smiled at how sweet that was of her to do.

The second video was her first actual interview with Ladybug (also Mime). She remembered how Marinette thought she deleted the first video so she stole her phone to try to recreate it, and when she couldn’t she gave her a surprise. Alya didn’t even know how she managed to convince Ladybug to give her an interview back then but now it’s obvious. Marinette is such a good friend!

The third was about Lila, talking about how Ladybug saved her and how close the two of them are. And suddenly Marinette’s hatred for Lila made sense.

“That Bit-!”

Alya deleted the video and whipped out her phone.

Mari, I am sorry for ever trying to defend Lila and that it took me this long to realize that she’s a liar.- A

Oh yeah, I couldn’t exactly tell you that I knew that she didn’t know Ladybug because I am Ladybug-M

Again, sorry for being stupid.-A

It’s okay, at least you know now-M

Dang all the lying she’s doing for attention, I almost feel bad for her-A

Alya remembered what Lila had done.

Wait no I don’t! She got you expelled and nearly akumatized by Scarlet Moth! What a lying snake!-A

She also threatened me in the bathroom that she’d make everyone turn against me if I tried to expose her and her lies and it made me so angry that I was almost akumatized by Hawkmoth -M

I’m actually going to push her down a flight of stairs! I don’t care that you have your ladybug powers, you can’t stop me!-A

Nino also messages her, noticing the website change. Alya said that she wanted to use her skill to find Hawkmoth and help Paris civilians. Nothing more.

She spends the rest of the night staying up late researching ways to control emotions and to keep anger and other strong emotions at bay. If Hawkmoth akumatizes her, it’s all over, and she’s never going to let that happen again.

Alya falls asleep thinking about Marinette being Ladybug this whole time.

And whatever hardships Marinette had to deal with, Alya was ready to give her a boost to fight it all.

Should I write more? I want to write more. I will write more.

Anymore headcanons for the Artist Family? Are they rich and classy like the Addams?

They make a ton of money off of Marinette’s commissions, Marc/Nath’s VERY detailed gothic graphic novels, Juleka and Rose playing music at funerals, and Alix’s demolition business

The converted funeral home they live in is spacious and could be mistaken for a mansion

Rich people dining! Five chandeliers in the dining room, black as night table with thirteen candelabra made from ashes found in the embalming room, old caskets converted into cabinets, doilies spun by spiders, and a tigers head hanging on the wall

One of their Kwamis, I’m thinking Screech, takes a human form and drives them around in their car, a 1940 LaSalle Meteor Hearse

One of the teachers fainted when they came to school in that

Juleka: They’re clearly jealous.

Alix: Yeah! Not everyone gets to carry around the dead wherever they go!

There’s a ton of rooms in the house

The crematorium has been converted into a dungeon filled with vintage weapons they bought from museums

Marinette: How much for the battle axe?

Museum Director: Excuse me? I’m afraid these aren’t for sale.

Marinette: *Pulls out a massive wad of cash* Let’s try this again, shall we?

They gladly donate stacks of cash to local museums with torture and Black Plague exhibits. There’s even a couple of wings named after them

The embalming room stays, because who doesn’t enjoy a good embalming room?

Their closets are filled with 17/18th century gothic and modern gothic outfits

Marinette/Juleka/Rose/Marc/Nathaniel/Alix

Marc and Nathaniel rent out the catacombs once in a while when they’re on dates

Nathaniel: Look at you. Midnight, candle light, surrounded by death.

*An explosion cuts them off as they’re about to kiss*

Marc: One home, the six of us, and so many windows.

Rose and Juleka do the same but with cemeteries

Juleka: It’s shame we can’t watch the departed decompose above ground.

Rose: *Pulls out a shovel* Wanna watch now?

Learning about their wealth, Lila tries to kiss up to them by boasting about being related to H.P. Lovecraft. That didn’t end well

Nathaniel: The man is a notorious white supremacist. (Look it up)

She tried again

Lili: I-I meant I was related to Edgar Allen Poe! You see, he’s my great, great grandfather, and I actually dabble in a little poetry myself.

Marc: Poe had no children.

Marinette: But if you were his descendant, you would have an extra row of teeth or a tail, or you aren’t able to taste salt.

Lili: Excuse me?!

Marinette: One word. Incest.

Lila: You’re one to talk! Your brothers are dating each other! And so are your sisters!

Alix: We all just happened to choose the same last name. None of us are related by blood, that’s just be gross, Lila.

Gabriel, having heard of the Artist’s wealth and influence from one of Lila’s tantrums, tries to take Marinette under his wing, maybe convince her to get a museum to name the historical fashion exhibits after the Agrestes

Marinette: I would rather wear pastels than work for a man who hires a leech with no professionalism, regard for personal space, and no understanding of the word ‘no’.

Gabriel asks forces Adrien to be friends with the six of them

Adrien: Hey guys-

Marinette: Your father sent you to befriend us and increase his wealth?

Adrien: *Ashamed* Yes.

For the Artists, this means war. And they never lose

They send Adrien back to the mansion looking like a Cyber Goth (He requested the look) Nathalie nearly had a heart attack and Gabriel fainted

Adrien’s new look starts a Cyber Goth fashion trend which the Artists are loving. (They accept all types of gothic fashion)

Lila would rather puke than wear those outfits, but Gabriel needs to appeal to the market by showing off his new (reluctantly made) cyber goth line. She’s expected to wear the outfits all day until a new trend comes along.

One day at a photo shoot, she confronts Adrien and threatens him to start a “more fashionable trend” (Knowing her, it’s just a bunch of burnt orange and rompers) or she’ll have his father take him out of school

Unbeknownst to her, Adrien “accidentally” left his phone on a livestream. Everyone heard her calling goths freaks, demented, mental patients, and a bunch of other anti-goth stuff. Thus ended Lila’s modeling career

Akuma, goths join the fight, Lila exposed, all is well

Aftermath: The Artists won the war. Gabriel faints agin. Lila is a pariah. And Adrien switches from Cyber to Pastel Goth which Marinette’s dark little heart can’t resist

T.W.A.A: The Pseudologist

Part 1

When I posted the first part, someone on AO3 asked if I could write the aftermath. *cue the endless amounts of ideas that I can’t write* So here’s my attempt. There will be more to this in povs from other characters

edit: so I have returned after gaining energy (This was posted when I was running on an unhealthily low amount of sleep, written when I was basically asleep) and I have to say this is the worst one shot I’ve written so far. Bruh my wips are better than this

edit2: I’ve gone back and edited this a bit.

———

Lila Rossi moved to Paris for one reason and one reason only, Adrien Agreste. She knew how famous the boy was, how rich he was too but the most important factor: how oblivious he was. From what she gathered, the boy was locked up in the house for most of his life, if not, all his life. The brunette knew he was probably longing for friendship, freedom, love, and affection. He had all the attention he needed, why would he want more? Lila considered this when she transferred to Françoise Dupont, she'd need attention to gain his attention. She knew what she had to do.

It started with one rumour, one lie. But it slowly lead to more, subtle lies that at first glance would seem believable. She gained the attention she wanted, she gained the attention she needed and much faster than she originally intended. But she wasn't complaining. Alya had played a vital role in her spike of popularity, the reporter girl was the one who spread Lila's words, it had worked great in the liar's favour. Lila even used Ladybug as a way to get recognition, the superheroine had no idea this would be going on so she couldn't expose the brunette. Or that's what she thought.

As Lila observed the students. She took note of the blonde, easily identifiable as Chloe Bourgeois, daughter of Mayor Bourgeois. The girl grew up surrounded by politics, if anyone could spot out a lie it would be her. Lila knew she had to be careful, but since she was known as a bully, not many would believe her words. There was someone else who posed a threat though. Someone Lila didn't take notice of until Ladybug had confronted her. A certain Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

The bluenette caught Lila's attention due to her similarity to the spotted heroine, the same heroine Lila had learned to resent. They weren't just similar in appearance-wise, their demeanours were similar as well. The only difference? Ladybug tried to make amends with Lila. Marinette, despite having no reason to, had no intentions of making friends. The brunette knew she would either be a powerful ally or a dangerous nemesis, considering the fact she was popular, well-known, and well-loved. Lila hoped that this Marinette would not be the latter. Deciding to find out for herself, Lila approached the bluenette in the bathroom. Any friendliness that was once in brunette was obliterated, Marinette knew her lies were just that, lies. Lila knew she had to do something before the blue-eyed girl could expose her. And of course, she devised a plan, but she needed Adrien's influence.

Soon enough, both Agrestes were on her side. Adrien, because he did what his father asked and he hated conflict, and Gabriel for real reasons unknown to the brunette, but she concluded it to be to remove his son from bad influence though she couldn't be sure. Having both on her side made her rise in popularity much easier. She developed a following of mindless fools, completely at her mercy, and disposal. Now to have something to fall back on, Lila began turning the Queen's workers against her.

Chloe was her first target. First, she drove Sabrina away from the blonde, convincing the policeman's daughter that Chloe was using her. The blonde had done in the past but had stopped after some classmates intervened and Lila assumed it would work. And it did. It worked splendidly and the girl had left her best friend with a violently hurtful speech. Like planned, Chloe was alone. However, the blonde managed to make amends with a certain blue-haired girl, it was something very unexpected. Lila didn't like it. She didn't like it at all. The two people she was weary of managed to team up. Lila knew she had to do something about it so she targeted the easier prey of the duo, Marinette.

The bluenette had already gained some distrust from her classmates after she was temporarily expelled, and after she became friends with Chloe, all Lila had to do was add more fuel to the ongoing fire. Small rumours here and there, just to increase the distrust. One day when she realised she had the perfect opportunity to begin Marinette's true downfall, she took it. A bold move it was.

She accused the bluenette of beating her up, with the motive of 'telling others what she had said to Lila herself', sometime before school. Just Lila's luck, the girl arrived a bit later than usual, only adding to the growing suspicion of Lila's words being true. When the classmates approached the bluenette, she obviously denied their accusations. But with her lack of a witness and Lila's smart move to shed tears, Marinette got slapped. Hard across the cheek. It looked like it hurt and it sounded like it hurt but obviously, she looked hurt with betrayal. Alya had been the one to do it. Lila couldn't help the victorious smirk on her face.

From there, the abuse towards the bluenette and the blonde increased. Chloe got the lesser part of it but that didn't mean that Lila spared her. Marinette took both the physical and verbal abuse, much greater amounts than the blonde. But she was resilient. It reminded Lila of someone she knew back in her old school, in Italy. Unfortunately for them, Lila forced them to their fate. And she planned to do the same to Marinette.

Lila watched how Marinette would be abused, yelled at, humiliated, anything to make the girl feel horrible in any shape or form. The brunette watched the strong wall around the girl crack, it took a long time to get to that moment and when it finally arrived, the liar celebrated. The mayor's daughter confirmed her suspicions when she hovered over the younger girl even more than Lila thought was possible. Chloe's protectiveness would easily stop Marinette from breaking, Lila needed to make her turn to dust. And the only way for that blonde barricade to turn to dust would be to get rid of her.

Lila's lackeys laid off the blonde for a while, as ordered by Lila herself, she needed to talk to Chloe one on one. Face to face. One rival to another. The liar was sure that her words and her words alone would drive the blonde far from Paris, crying to her mother and father, begging them to send her away. At first, her words were meaningless to the blonde. That was until Lila threatened to do unspeakable things to Marinette.

"You listen and you listen good" Lila backed Chloe up against the bathroom corner. "You know how far I'm willing to go, don't make Marinette be my first victim. It'll be your fault if it is." Lila hissed the words, quiet enough that no one would hear but loud enough for Chloe to know that she wasn't at all messing around.

Lila smirked as Chloe's brave façade obliterated in front of her eyes, tears the blonde didn't even know she'd shed were dripping to the floor. Satisfied, Lila turned away with a flick of her hair knowing that Chloe would no longer be an obstacle in the way of the final target.

The liar always found it so incredible how Alya, one girl, one clueless girl, was able to be the best pawn in someone's downfall. Even more so when that 'someone' was the pawn's best friend. It was always a beautiful sight, seeing Alya ripping out more and more out of Marinette's heart. Lila had to give credit to the reporter girl, she had given Lila a quick and seemingly effortless rise to power.

Now with Chloe out of the way, Marinette was truly at the mercy of Lila and her loyal minions. The bluenette had virtually no one, she was isolated and excluded from any good feelings in the classroom. From that moment on, the bullying worsened to a height higher than the Eiffel Tower itself. The worst part? Marinette remained resilient, it frustrated Lila to no end. She had to go bigger, wilder. Crazier.

Lila lost count of the many times the bluenette was sent to the hospital, all she knew was that the expenses from all the hospital fees should be growing exponentially. This meant that all she had to do was convince the two bakers that they are wasting their money on a problem that wasn't there to begin with. One day, after a beating that happened bi-weekly, the liar went over to the Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie knowing she would find two working parents and a lack of the bluenette's presence.

"Hello Mrs Cheng, Mr Dupain" Lila used her worried voice, one that parents would easily recognise as a voice filled with anxiety and uneasiness. The two bakers quickly got to her side as if she were their own daughter, it nearly hurt.

"Hello, Lila dear! Is there something wrong?" Sabine was acting so much like a worried mother that it almost guilt-tripped Lila out of abandoning her plan. The keyword is almost.

"I just wanted to know if you were okay with Marinette, you know, taking your money even though there's no need for there to be any hospital bills" The liar played the concerned classmate like the many times she did before. Lila herself had projected this image so often that she believed she had perfected the act.

"Money? Hospital bills? What are you talking about Lila? Is there something wrong with Marinette?" She hadn't expected the parents to not know that their daughter was healing at the hospital, or that she was even at the hospital at all. Lila knew that despite everything, Marinette wouldn't steal from her parents, but they wouldn't know that. It provided the brunette with the perfect opportunity. Either Marinette was paying with her own money or-

"I thought- she said you gave her permission to use your money to pay for her hospital bills. Well... there aren't any hospital bills so I wanted to make sure you knew. O-oh no I-I shouldn't have said anything, now Marinette is gonna b-beat me up" Lila brought out the fake tears and hiccups that would fool all who laid eyes upon her. Marinette's parents fell straight into the trap.

She saw the two adults exchange a glance before Marinette's father spoke. "We had no idea, thank you for telling us, Lila. We'll make sure she doesn't harm you again, okay?" Tom handed her a box of pastries and wished her well.

Once she was out of sight of the bakery, the disguise she wore dropped. Instead, it was replaced with the smug smile she always wore when things went her way. If others knew what she was doing, who knows what they'd do. But she didn't bother thinking about that, or the fact that she could have forever crushed the relationship between Marinette and her parents. All she wanted was popularly and to be on the arm of Adrien Agreste.

It took her two years to get to that point, but most of the soul-crushing came in the next year.

~~~

The brunette was walking down an empty, quiet street not far from her house when she heard Alya's voice. It wasn't usually in the friendly and star-struck demeanour that Lila was used to hearing. Naturally, she became curious. When approaching the location of where the reporter's voice was heard, she came across an impressive scene.

The young bluenette was bleeding, beaten to a pulp by her classmates. Lila remembered that she had come up with a lie, a very violent one. This must've been her classmates' retaliation since Lila would never truly ask for them to attack Marinette. She would pretend to stop them from doing so. That reminded the brunette that she never got into any of the beatings before, she'd only watch similar to Adrien. She couldn't let her classmates have all the fun, right?

Being careful not to be seen by Alya and the others, Lila snuck into her house, her mother working late as usual. The brunette looked around the kitchen, searching for something in particular, her hand going in and out of each cabinet, searching. When she found it, she headed back to that alley. Making sure to stay in the dark, Lila waited for their classmates to leave before making her presence known. The girl looked pathetically weak, it was pitiful.

"Oh, Marinette" Lila began, hands behind her back, her voice laced with the truest concern she had in a long time. However, seeing the girl flinch at the sound of the newcomer's voice made Lila proud of herself. Proud in the fear she managed to flood into this girl with her vocalisation alone. "If only you accepted my proposal, this never would have happened."

She now stood, towering over the bluenette who was curled up on the floor. Despite her injured position, determination reeked from Marinette. "No, I will never support your lies." The blue-eyed girl spat with such venom that Lila took a step back in surprise. She recovered quickly, however.

"Fine" Lila spat back, taking out the shiny object that was once hidden behind her. "Be that way, but don't say I didn't warn you"

The liar approached with such a deadly glint in her eyes that it shook Marinette to her core. Lila toyed the small dagger in her hands before slashing the bluenette's right thigh. It wasn't as deep as Lila intended but the blood still made her shiver, but a little blood wasn't going to stop her. Instead, the blade went into Marinette's thrice. Whatever cries of pain and agony the bluenette had made, went unheard by Lila, she'd completely blocked out any noise that would distract her from the task at hand. Before finishing, she gave the bluenette a slash on the back. Lila, satisfied with what she had done, pressed Marinette's head against the wall, her blood-soaked knife resting at the girl's neck.

"I warned you," Lila whispered, slowly stepping back. With an exhale from her lips, the girl walked out of the alley, keeping the blade out of view.

She didn't turn back around to see whether or not the girl had listened. Lila ran back to her apartment to clean up. Her breath quickened as she watched Marinette's blood go down the kitchen sink, her hands shaking as she rinsed the knife under the cold running water. Lila thought she had disposed of the evidence and she quickly got changed, reaching for the house phone when she was done.

"Bonsoir, I need an ambulance immediately." Lila spoke into the phone. The next few moments she talked to the operator, spinning up a story about her witnessing an attack. After the ambulance arrived, Lila ended the call, watching from her apartment window as they picked Marinette up on a stretcher and drove away.

The liar made sure to injure the bluenette but she didn't want to kill her, she wanted Marinette to live and suffer in pain. Whatever happened next was meaningless to Lila, all that mattered was she got the fun she wanted. She didn't need to do anything else other than that.

~~~

A few days after that incident, the beloved boy Lila fantasized about had changed, and not for the better.

Lila noticed how Adrien grew colder, more unlike himself. More... distant. True he still had the money and the fame but the attitude she fell in love with was gone, and she watched it fade away. While she did want to be with Adrien, she wanted his love for her to be genuine, or at least somewhat genuine. The liar now didn't feel the same tingling safeness she once felt by his side. Instead, she grew weary of the blonde model. She knew that if her gut instinct was correct then she couldn't be seen around Adrien anymore, it would be too dangerous. However, she had worked too hard to get to where she was, Lila would be damned if she let all that go to waste.

Hesitantly, Lila moved on to someone else, moved on to a much bigger fish. Damian Wayne.

Damian Wayne, the biological son of one of the richest men in the world. That alone caught Lila's eye, she wanted wealth and power. Another reason was, from what rumours had told her, Damian Wayne was incredibly handsome, probably ten more times as such than Adrien Agreste. Lila then realised just how much she was missing out on. She needed to get in the Wayne Family one way or another. So she gave subtle hints, ones that Alya would be able to pick up on.

And like the decent reporter she was, Alya soon concluded that Lila had wanted and Alya spread the rumour throughout the classroom, every single naive classmate believed said story. They even approached her about it to which she 'accidentally' revealed some information known to only her and the Wayne Family. Her classmates absorbed the lies like how sponges absorb water. Her plan was sold.

Passing by the familiar bluenette, Lila couldn't help but whisper. "Do you ever wonder what it's like to fall off a great height?" She didn't expect Marinette to reply, she thought that the girl would ignore her completely. Much to Lila's surprise, Marinette replied.

"Oh I do" the dull-eyed girl replied, using the same tone that Lila had. "I wonder all the time"

She wasn't sure how or why, but Marinette's reply made Lila shiver. Whether it was the sheer seriousness it was said in or the extreme satisfaction that she had managed to get the girl at a breaking point, Lila didn't know and she didn't plan to find out. She was just glad that Marinette didn't bother to point out her obvious lie about Damian Wayne.

Her plan had worked. It had. Chloe was sent to live in the States, Marinette would soon be wiped off the planet entirely and she had managed to wrap the whole class around her finger. As dusk fell, Lila felt victorious after noticing the bluenette wasn't attending the charity event the Mayor had organized. The brunette had dressed in an orange dress, it was a high low dress which complimented her quite nicely but the colour was not doing her any justice.

She was only there due to the fact it was mandatory, there would be well-known and rich people there and she didn't want to take the risk of being exposed. Luckily, all those she noticed weren't people she had lied about. The brunette had completely zoned out the Mayor as he said his evening speech, until he uttered a single phrase that made her blood pressure drop.

"And finally, I'd like to thank the Wayne Family for joining us this evening"

Lila, like many others in the room, whipped their heads around towards the table Mayor Bourgeois's where aimed to. The eldest man there, though not grey, lifted his glass filled with champagne, saying thanks to Mayor Bourgeois. The rich family who she was lying about regularly, were here at this very event. She was screwed.

"You gotta introduce me to your honorary family, girl!" Alya's excited voice snapped her out of her shocked state. At that moment, Lila concluded, she was absolutely fucked. Before she could protest, Alya dragged Lila by the hand and over to the table at which the almighty family was sitting. As they turned their hands to the two girls, the brunette knew she was as white as a ghost. "Hello Mr Wayne, My name's Alya and I'm your honorary daughter's best friend and I was hoping-"

The man lifted his hand, prompting silencing the girl, and turned to another occupant at the table. Lila recognised the person instantly, it was Marinette.

"Marinette," Lila noticed Alya's expression changed from excitement to shock and finally, anger. Whether it was pointed at the bluenette or the brunette herself, Lila didn't know. "Is this girl you're friend?"

Marinette's gaze hardened on both Lila and Alya, flickering between the two of them. This was the first time Lila would ever admit that she feared the bluenette, her life's work was about to get shattered because of her. "No," Marinette stated.

Alya must've thought that Marinette got onto the Waynes' good side. The reporter tried to defend Lila's honour before getting instantly shut down by Bruce Wayne.

"It would be appreciated if you did not talk about my honorary daughter and future daughter-in-law in that manner. In fact, we should be leaving. Miss Rossi, I will not tolerate your lies. You will receive a lawsuit for defamation and slander. Have a good evening." Lila watched, pale-faced, as the family left. She never thought getting sued was possible, she had diplomatic immunity! The moment they were out of the hall, Alya's head snapped in her direction, rage oozing out of her eyes. The brunette tried to get out of the situation to no avail, the class was glaring daggers into her head. The reporter grabbed Lila by the arm and dragged her to the lobby, the class followed suit.

"Care to explain to me what the fuck that was?!" Alya's harsh words almost made the brunette stumble, had Marinette always dealt with this?

Lila tried to defend herself. "I can expl-"

"NO! You will not explain shit to me when I know for a fact that you're lying! You're nothing but a filthy, dirty, liar!" Lila felt this situation was fitting, Alya was the one to initiate her rise in fame, if anyone were to cause her downfall it would be her. But would she tolerate her dear reporter pawn? Of course not.

"You're no different, Alya!" The brunette knew she was taking a big chance, her attempt to distract the enraged reporter might turn out deadlier than intended. "You're the reason I managed to get this far! Without you, I'd be nothing! I need to thank you, actually, for shoving your best friend aside who was only trying to get you to see the truth. You're just as bad as I am, Alya."

The flash of hurt that appeared on the reporter's face was priceless, even more so when she ran off to cry. Lila thought she would be able to escape from the hotel and back to her house only to be kicked off her feet. Letting out a cry of pain, the brunette quickly stood up to face her attacker, it was Kim. Alix came over as well and slapped Lila into oblivion. Many more were about to unleash the anger of her on her only to be stopped by Nino.

"Don't make us any worse than her than we already are" the boy shouted at them, reaching forward to block Alix from attacking Lila again.

She took this opportunity to escape, back to her only safe place, her home. She ignored their shouted profanities as she ran out of the hotel. It felt as she was running a marathon, not risking a look back in case any of her classmates followed her home. Once she reached her apartment, Lila let out a big sigh of relief, still clutching her cheek in pain. The confrontation from the class had allowed her to forget the gift the Wayne Family had left her, that was until she realised her mother was home.

"Lila Rossi!" The Italian froze at the sound of her mother's infuriated voice. Lila trodded to the living room, her mother was standing in the middle of the room, seething with her phone in hand.

"Mamma?" She replied timidly, letting some of her hair loose to cover her red cheek.

"Don't 'Mamma' me, Lila! What is the meaning of this? Lawsuits! From the Waynes! Do you realise how much money this will take to pay back?! Not only that but I am just learning about your behaviour towards your classmates! I am incredibly disappointed! You are to be sent back to Italy to live with your father! Then maybe you'll learn how to pain this all by yourself!" She had never seen her mother as livid before, nor had she known that her mother would've found out as fast she did.

"But Mamma, I'm only sixteen!" Lila pleaded, there was no way she could do this by herself.

"Unfortunately, I know! Your father and I have agreed to pay with your money for university, which means you will be responsible for paying your own tuition fees. Also, regarding your behaviour towards your classmates, you have been given a permanent record on your student portfolio. Any school you try to apply will know of your actions. Do you know how hard it will be to get into any school now?" Lila's mother sat on the sofa, dragging a hand down her face. "I am very disappointed, Lila. Very disappointed."

Her lipped quivered as she ran to her room and cried. Her life was over in a matter of seconds. Entirely, she wasn't sure who to blame. Alya, the one who caused her popularity and defeat. Marinette, the one who pointed out the lies at the very start and got onto the Waynes' good side. Or Adrien, the boy whose mere existence derived her to make such irrational decisions. But she knew, she knew, it was solely her fault.

Lila had forgotten. When you add fuel to the burning fire, you get burnt. Her life would never be the same, all the work she had now gone to waste. And Damian hadn't even spared her a second glance.

[MMD] Block Party Panel Incident - Aftermath 

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_deVQ3tlzno

(After the success of destroying the Aqua Team Hunger Force Panel from August (from CN100eg's video The Block Party Panel Incident, the evils are celebrating their victory despite the police getting the out from the convention center)

Lila: OH YES!!! We got them back!! Iris: Hmm... Yeah. We got that frylock Pokemon and ruin their panel! Err: Excellent! I'm so happy you both manage to cause destruction with fire and beat up Frylock for that hate message he sent to us! Lila: Exactly! Hehe! Well, we succeed this time! Guess a few of my success brought you to feel some achievement, Iris. Iris: Yeah, but it's gonna take a lot more for me to be satisfied. Ignignokt: Well it did for us!! He exposed us for the bomb incident, but... thanks to you guys, we did a payback to him and his two idiots! Lila: Well it was just the two of us, but yes! Iris: That fry Pokemon deserved so much payback I finally pulled my revenge for sending us on an island where I was stuck in from Hano Grand Resort 5 years ago! Lila: Yeah! Err: We'd at least rescue you two, because since we had an online chat in Spring, we are now on your side for you both! Iris: Yeah!! Ignignokt: That'd teach the lesson for ATHF Trio and ones who are close friends with him in that place with red head scientist! Lila: Hehe! Since we already became a team, not only we will get more revenge on them, but also the Pokemon Studio too! Iris: OH YES!!! We shall go after the Pokemon Studio someday...only if we are strong enough for THAT CHAMP!!! I HATE HER AS MUCH AS ASH KETCHUM AND FRY POKEMON!!! Ignignokt: If you can't take her alone, we can take him together!! Err: But, we do need more teammates for this to happen! Lila: Oh don't worry. Ghetsis told me the same, but he give me a list to look for each new member around the world. Like three strong members. One is from my former school, other is from an ancient Japanese palace, and other from a video game world. So, that way, the so called "Iris's Team" will be ready to take down the Pokemon Studio, and ATHF Trios. In fact, we can do revenge on anyone we want! Ignignokt: Sweet!! Seven of us will soon to be masters! Iris: We shall find these missing pieces one by one! Err: That's right! One plan succeed against Frylock, more plans to go! Lila: Oh yes!

Now onto the hospital after the incident of the panel, Konata, Arezu, and Mona from Wacky House visited to see Frylock, but he's out cold.

Konata: Dang! Frylock is down. Although the doctor says he would recover in weeks, thankfully. Arezu: So a box of french fries is alive? Wow! A new discovery! Mona: With that in mind... Frylock is in a temporaily coma. Right now he's dreaming about saving the closest friends from Iris. Konata: Oh yes. Iris caused a fire again, but don't worry. Wallace and his firefighting crew came in to wash off all the fire in the convention center. Mona: Yeah, but for Frylock tho... at least he's alive. Still cruel how he was knocked out by Iris and her assistant. Arezu: Well... I'm thinking about something to help him a bit. How about Potato Mochi? Konata: Frylock wouldn't want to eat anything with potatoes. Arezu: Actually... we can use them to rub it on parts of his body, where it has injuries. Konata: What a great plan. Arezu: Is it a good idea, Mona? Mona: On my predictions... he would recover from the potato mochis by being covered by it. Although the main source would be the gem from his back. But no worries, it regain energy on its own so it repairs itself. Konata: Excellent! Arezu: Sweet! Let's go get the potato mochis!

And all three of them rub it on him, and rinse him off and Mona sees his gem glow once. Mona says it's far from bring back to normal state, but it's working at least.

Happy Birthday, CN100eg!

Corey Curse Aftermath Pt 2

6 months ago: 19th September, after Lila had been exposed 

Lila couldn’t believe it. Marinette, and Adrien, had left her to deal with the class, who, now that Marinette wasn’t there to occupy them, were swarming her, bombarding her with questions that she could barely keep up with, let alone answer, and truthfully with that.

“Lila! Did you really think we were that gullible?”

“What made you target Marinette?”

“How dare you betray us!”

The last voice cut through like a knife and Lila gulped before turning to face the brunette. But something told Lila that this one would eat right out of her hand. “B-but Al-alya, you realize I was just trying to show you!” she cried out, and the class all looked at her with disbelief. How could she even try to lie her way out of this?!? But Alya looked curious, and that was enough for her to continue. “Y-y-you see, on my first day of D-d-dupont, Marinette threatened me! She said that she h-hates you guys and I better not become friends with you!” she cried out, Alya’s eyes widened. “Wh-what?” she said, as the class looked at her in silence. “Alya, you can’t seriously believe this bull can you?!?!” Alix’s half whispered to the brunette, but Alya wasn’t listening as Lila continued on her spiral of lies. “And then, she insulted your moms low life job, and your sister Nora’s attitude, she even insulted the Ladyblog-“ Lila was interrupted immediately by Alya “No way! I knew she was no good!” She cried, and Lila smirked inwardly. Nino looked at Alya in confusion and horror. “Babe, you can’t seriously believe Lila after she JUST confessed. The dudette is a liar. You have to face-“ this time, Nino was cut off, and by the devil herself at that. “And he’s in on it! Marinette hired him to manipulate you. Remember he was in love with her before he was in love with you!” She cried out, and Nino turned to her in fury. “What on earth has that got to do with anything? How do you even know that? Not cool dudette. Als, you don’t believe her, do you?” The boy said, before turning to face his girlfriend, who looked…confused? “Alya?” He asked, “Do you?” The brunette looked at him with guilt in her eyes, but with an heir of confidence and satisfaction around her, like she had solved a huge mystery. “Lila-Lila, she is right. Marinette is a terrible friend and you liked her first so-“ she stammered “I’m breaking up with you Nino.” It was like a blanket had just dropped on the class. Everyone was silent as they processed the news. Alya and Nino, the couple of the grade, had broken up? Over a liar no less. Nino stood rigid, as if zapped with electricity, with his eyes wide and his mouth open. Finally, after what seemed like years, he spoke. “I’m sorry, what?”

“Some Kids Left Behind”: After 9/11, No Safety Measures at Stuyvesant H.S. Led to Sickness & Death

As we look at the public health crisis that followed the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York City, we speak with Lila Nordstrom, a student in 2001 at Stuyvesant High School, which neighbors ground zero and was reopened while the site was still burning and releasing toxic smoke and dust. “Our school wasn’t just next to the World Trade Center site, but we were also in the center of the clean-up operations,” says Nordstrom. “There were not any safety precautions being taken to protect us as we walked to and from school. The building that we were attending school in smelled like smoke 24 hours a day for the entire length of time.” Nordstrom is one of the voices in the new PBS documentary “9/11’s Unsettled Dust” and author of a new book titled “Some Kids Left Behind: A Survivor’s Fight for Health Care in the Wake of 9/11.”

For the 20th anniversary of 9/11 comes an awe-inspiring account of the schoolchildren poisoned by the toxic air left in the wake of the Twin Towers’ destruction and the survivor who fought for health care for them in front of Congress and against the odds.

On September 11, 2001, high school senior Lila Nordstrom watched from her classroom’s window as the Twin Towers, mere blocks away, fell. Weeks later, at the urging of local officials and assurance from the EPA, Lila and her three thousand classmates were returned to their school—even though the air was thick with toxic debris, dust, and smoke.

In this remarkable, empowering memoir, Lila shares how the illnesses and deaths of her classmates related to the effects of the 9/11 cleanup spurred her into action. She created StuyHealth and became involved in the fight for the Victim Compensation Fund, working alongside first responders and heavyweights like Jon Stewart, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi, proving at every turn that her survivor community also deserves recognition and mental and physical health care and that her voice too deserves to be heard.

This timely tale reveals how tragedy lays bare the American health care system and how corruption and misinformation continue to fail victims of tragedies. An honest, at times humorous guide to advocating for one’s self and one’s community and navigating the cutthroat world of legislation and health care, Lila's story begs us to consider how we as a nation treat our vulnerable communities and how all victims of all disasters deserve care, truth, and respect. Also included is a section on the meaning of advocacy work, what it means to be an active citizen, and how to support a cause you believe in.

“9/11’s Unsettled Dust”: Bush’s EPA Hid Health Risks from Toxic Dust at Ground Zero & Thousands Died

As this week marks the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, we look at an enraging new documentary, “9/11’s Unsettled Dust,” on the impact of the toxic, cancer-causing smoke and dust that hung over ground zero and how the Environmental Protection Agency put Wall Street’s interests before public health and told people the air was safe to breathe. One of the key figures in the film is Democracy Now! co-host Juan González, who was among the first to expose the public health and environmental crisis at ground zero in a series of reports for the New York Daily News. He says the intense backlash from the mayor’s office and federal officials “cowed” the newspaper, but he has no regrets. “My only mistake was believing that it would take 20 years for people to get sick,” González says. “It took about five years for the deaths and the severe illnesses to really become apparent.” Director Lisa Katzman says she made the film because she was a resident of Lower Manhattan who saw the attack and its aftermath up close and wanted “to address the lack of accountability” from city and federal officials. “The same people that were always touting 'Never forget! Never forget!' and constantly reminding us of the heroism of these responders were unwilling to do anything to actually help them,” notes Katzman.

@fangirling-101 Thank you for all of the recommendations!

Welcoming Change - I am in love with this, the scene with the art room and how he was worried if she would accept him really tugged at my heart, the smut was a nice touch but the aftermath of that was EVEN BETTER

Nannynette - I love how protective Marinette is over Mar'i it's so cute and the fact that she thinks Tim and Kon are together is just glorious especially with Kon trying to wingman for him and ending up just cockblocking best bro has me dead

Love In the time of Taco Trucks - Taco trucks are where love will begin and end, this is not up for debate

Homecoming Confessions - Not entirely sure who Wally is since it's been a hot minute since I was submerged in the DC fandoms but I can recognize good fluff mutual pining anywhere

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Damian Wayne are pen-pals for three years as their schools get in contact to prepare Francoise Dupont a trip to Gotham for all the nearly bilingual students. During that time, Marinette never expected to fall in love (and Damian never expected to fall with her).

Once he finds out about Lila and all of her lies — manipulation — he just knows the perfect way to stop her.

His Angel is never going to be hurt again. Damian is going to make sure of it.
