not to yearn on main but I think some luka cuddles would fix me

[bklily]

I mean, a girl needs a hobby to relieve stress right?

Bonus: it's a weekly meeting for them

[mystic-myrtille]

What do you think was the most pointless plot point in the show?

Couldn’t pick just one so here‘s a list in no particular order:

Rich kid sentimonsters: uninteresting, confusing, stupid

The mari//chat mini arc thing in s5: cute but ultimately just fan service and Mari went back to Adrien either way so yeah

Chloe‘s „arc“ post s3 : she just became annoying and pathetic. If the show gets rebooted one day I hope she gets redeemed just to spite on Astruc

Luka figuring out both identities: leads to brazil nowhere

Marinette‘s dating trauma: super unnecessary, just there to drag thing out further and created more inconsistencies (but also it made me feel validated in shipping Lukanette so at least I got something out of it😂)

Gabriel‘s redemption: … why? (Obviously bc the show just really loves white men who really love their family a lot uwu🥺)

Adrien staying oblivious to all of this: just straight up insulting to his character

Su-Han: he‘s literally just there to yell at Mari and not be her mentor and serves no purpose at all

Magical akuma charms: didn‘t they work just so well?

Jagged the deadbeat dad: the way everyone just went along with it? hello?? THE POTENTIAL FOR ANGST??

Day 16-Cafe+Day 17-Flower-Female!Reader

A combo cafe and flower shop wasn’t something you ever expected to be part of your life. However one of your friends pitched you the idea and quickly found a florist that you thought would fit. And you were right,he was great with people. Show how he could put together a bouquet that fit anyone after talking to them for only a few minutes. Many people who stopped by would ask if you were a couple which both of you would quickly explain that you were just business partners. However you’d be lying to yourself if you said that you didn’t have feelings for him. But you just couldn’t take that first step,because you saw how he looked at one particular girl. She was beautiful,her blue eyes matched her hair which was in pigtails. You could see by the look in his eyes and how he spoke to her that he did like her,which is why he’d probably reject you. 

“That’s a beautiful bouquet,is it for someone special?”

“It’s for Marinette,and we’re not”

“Oh sorry I didn’t”

“It’s fine,we get that a lot.” He laughed,making you laugh too “I mean that happened to us too” You stopped laughing. Thankfully someone walked in and let you pretend that it didn’t happen,you quickly found something to do. It was getting late and you were dreading having another conversation with him. Thankfully people walked in just as he tried to talk to you. The last customer came up to you and ordered like normal,but as you handed him the drink he said.

“Are you free this weekend?”

“What?”

“I was wondering if you’d let me take you on a date?” You were about to reject him but the sound of glass breaking tore your attention away. And you turned to see Luka with some blood on his hands and glass on the counter and floor. 

“Luka” You ran over to him and grabbed his hand,there didn’t seem to be any glass in his hand. “I’ll go get the first aid kit,don’t touch anything” When you came back the other guy was gone and Luka had already locked the door and turned the sign. You patched him up in complete silence,you wanted to ask but you couldn’t. 

“Were you gonna go out with him?”

“No,he’s not my type,besides I like someone else but it doesn’t matter”

[gale-gentlepenguin]

Luka: You wrote her a song?

Adrien: Yea, do you think she will like it?

Luka: I wrote her a song too and it went okay. I wouldn’t expect a big reaction.

Adrien: Yea, but mine has lyrics tho.

Luka:…

[rainbow-arrow]

luka, showing up at the end of season five after his friends and family converted his house into a trash collection machine: hey what the fuck.

[plumsaffron]

When you trick yourself into believing Lila is Marinette’s bully and you for some reason want to make it out that she started it all and wanted this is happen. Please refrain from giving yourself crystal meth.

It’s giving you Lila illness.

But go on...

grant yourself more tinnitus of the mind.

Party Crasher is mixed for me. Therefore, I'm just rant about the episode in general.

The episode was the final nail in the coffin of me switching questioning why the two leads haven't figured out each other's identities to questioning most of Fu's existence. I understand that he's there to fill in the role of a mentor but him heavily interacting more with Marinette than the kid he gave the powers of literal destruction does not help is case in me questioning what on earth he is doing. As for the two leads figuring out each others identies, at this point its a case of me having no hope of them figuring it out accidentally. If Marinette isn't recognised as Marino, then I have no hope of her being connected to Ladybug beyond Multimouse, and that just bleeds into Adrien and Chat Noir as a consequence.

I'm conflicted about Adrien having a party. On one hand, I love Adrien having joy. On the other hand, Bubbler kinda already did the party thing, so I would have preferred the episode to mostly just feature the guys from Mrs Bustier's class and Marc. Communication is lacking in this show, so I would have loved an episode that just had communication central. My two main things I would have loved them to talk about would be their parents and Felix. If the show takes place before the episode, we can have Adrien warn the guys about Felix's tricks and if it takes place after the episode, then we can have the guys talking about the events of the episode. Parents wise, the show is focused on teenagers but I would like to know more about these kids' parents even if it's only mentioned.

Master Fu giving Kim a Miraculous and immediately wondering if he made the right choice ìs hilarious to me. It also got me thinkìng of other ways that Kim could have gotten the his miraculous, and I've come up with two ways that it could happen. Both ways contain Xuppu bugging Fu for the location of Plagg's holder, flying off to said location after getting it, causing Kwami shenanigans and the getting caught. The first way has Stompp noticing Xuppu leaving and following him to only have to reveal themselves when Xuppu gets caught by Kim in front of the guys there. Cue either Marc, Nathaniel or Ivan questioning the whole Miraculous thing, and Stompp having to give a more straightforward answer than the riddley sort of way that Xuppu is answering the questions. We can even tbrow Adrien and Kim asking really weird questions because Adrien isn't really mentored by Fu and Kim is Kim. Cue villain attack, Kim transforming in front of the guys, a Party Crasher vs Ladybug and King Monkey fight, Stompp refusing to tranform any of them and hitching a ride in Ivan's bag, and Adrien being blocked from transforming via the power of numbers and a lack of hiding spot. The second way lacks Stompp and has Xuppu instead be caught by Adrien with none of the other guys noticing. Cue villain attack, and Adrien drags Kim off to most likely an alleyway near the Agreste mansion. In the tags of a Sabrina reblog that I would have wanted her to gain a Miraculous via Adrien when they're both in civilian form and then Adrien revealing he's Chat after Sabrina agreed to hekp the superhero team. Swap Sabrina with Kim and thus ensues a Party Crasher vs Ladybug, Chat and King Monkey fight. Since this show needs more communication, the episode ends with Chat and Ladybug talking with King Monkey about how he got a miraculous and the whole Chat or Kim's schoolmates knowing Kim's identity and obviously Ladybug ends up accepting Kim as part of the team.

Party Crasher himself looks ridiculous enough for me to think that he looks cool. He doesn't look Maledictator levels bad, but he's also not one of my top 3 looking akumas. I think I would have preferred his reason to relate to friends that weren't Adrien even if they have to be one dimensional characters.

I also want to rant about Penalteam, which means that's probably going to happen in either the next 24 hours or next year, so stay tuned, I guess.

I bet they all struggle with impulse control

re:wishmaker wahhhhhh luka is such a good superhero omg!! I can't believe he witnessed the unmasking of two heroes (both of whom he's close with) and he acted so fast to reverse the situation each time like!!!! like!!!!!!! not falling to panic or shock he stayed in his head the entire time this episode was SO wow all bc of that like I can't believe he jus knows now wow

[flightfoot]

Hey, do you have any good recommendations for Lukadrigaminette or Julerose fics? Mostly canon-compliant. No fantasy or western AUs, but stuff like Adrien never going to school is fine.

Yeah sure, I've got some stuff for you!

The Quartet's Duet by timeandspace_lord

In which Kagami and Luka attempt to get two idiots to fall in love. Instead, four idiots realize they were already in love. Based a lot on Determination and Wishmaker specifically. ~~~ It was only a matter of time, he told himself. Sooner or later they’d stumble into the same secret he had and realize they were made for each other. And if they needed a helping hand to get there, a conductor for the symphony of their lives together, he was more than happy to take on that role. Kagami nodded firmly. She’d known that Marinette was Adrien’s true target from the beginning, but it had taken longer for her to get over her own jealousy and realize that the other girl was also the correct target. Now that she no longer had blinders on, it was obvious the two were meant to be together. If she could help them realize it, so much the better.

Hold Me By Both Hands by @angelofthequeers

“I know he said never to take you back,” Plagg mutters. “But he’d change his tune if he knew.” He looks Adrien straight in the eye and, more serious than Adrien’s ever seen him before, says, “There’s someone you gotta meet. He’s been looking for that book for ages.” How differently might the events of season 2 have gone if Adrien had also known of Master Fu from the start?

Honestly, I think this is one of the best ML fics EVER, and I've read a LOT of ML fics. It's a re-imagining of seasons 2 and 3, with Lila sticking around the whole time, lots of discussion and growth of all the major players in the fic, and some truly amazing character arcs. It features what I consider the BEST Chloe redemption arc to date, with looking at where she started in the early seasons and having her actually figure out reasons why she wants to be better, and what that looks like. If you've watched The Good Place, it's like that.

I wrote a 26,000 word essay analyzing the various subplots in the fic, that's how intricate it is.

You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess by @mexicancat-girl

With Team Miraculous now full-time holders, Ladybug has them patrolling in pairs like her and Chat Noir. New partners Pigella and Purple Tigress get along phenomenally, their easy banter and similar wavelengths making working with each other a joy in and out of combat. But sometimes Tigress is surprised just how close she is with her partner. Sometimes she tries not to feel too guilty thinking about it.

There’s some nice Julerose here! I love them kinda getting into a lovesquare with each other, though it’s not as much of a problem as it is in canon since it’s reciprocal in every relationship and they’re both down for a poly. It’s fun, and I love the “Luka attempting to woo some of his love interests” plot going on in the background XD.

Everything I need by @coffeebanana

When Ladybug asks Pigella to care for her injured teammate, she wants to refuse. She's not the best person for the job, and she's not sure if Purple Tigress even likes her. But Ladybug insists, so Pigella fights through her fear and tends to Tigress' injury. It doesn't make things any easier that Tigress keeps reminding her of Juleka.

For Rose and Juleka, the topic of soulmates is surprisingly a difficult one.

I hope these catch your fancy (especially Hold Me By Both Hands, that fic is a must-read).

[generalluxun]

different anon but if anyone's closer to the Gary Stu/Mary Su type it's Marinette, cause they keep insisting that she's so special (the time she had on all the miraculouses), the best Ladybug ever (Tikki constantly says this despite the fact that she's lost the miraculouses at least two times), and was ultimately the one that beat Hawkmoth on her own (Gabe stole the miraculouses from her AND got his wish, so she didn't actually win). Not to mention all the people who were crushing on her? Nino, Nathaniel, Luka, Zoe, and however many others? Adrien was over there in his white prison room talking about how HE'S not worthy of MARINETTE'S love? Yeah no...

Okay, we need some definitions. For myself I absolutely love what OSP has for this. *Note* I will use the term Mary Sue so I'm not constantly typing both out, but I honestly consider it gender neutral. You can have a Male(or ace, or whichever) Mary Sue, it's a lot easier than bothering with 'Gary Stu'

With this framework we find that people are often talking cross definitions. Some people latch onto the G1 definition of Mary Sue as someone who is 'perfect' and the fact that Thomas/Marinette(Don't hate on Marinette here, Thomas's words in her mouth) declare Adrien is 'perfect', but those aren't the same definitions.

G1 Mary Sue perfect is 'without flaws' Can do everything better and at range, everyone loves them instantly, etc etc.

Thomas means 'a thing to be kept and admired' like a perfect diamond. It's quite clear Adrien has flaws in the series. It would take a heavy level of self-delusion to miss them. I *like* Adrien, I write for him a lot! But yeah, look at Lies, he treated Adrien like garbage and the narrative punished him for it, pretty bog standard.

Now Marinette- She's an interesting case. She didn't START out a G1 Mary Sue, but she has always been a *type* of Mary Sue. You see after the initial blowback to G1 Mary Sues writers began to throw flaws onto their characters to try and dodge the label. Yet, a lot of the FUNCTION of a Mary Sue remained. So a new definition was formed. This one relies simply on the narrative warping power that a Mary Sue possesses. They are the only *real* person in a world of extras. They have flaws, but those flaws are simply backstory or window dressing.

Marinette's Clumsiness is a prime example of this. She's Clumsy! Except... never when it matters. Imagine how much more of a dynamic we would have if she were *actually* clumsy. She's the thinker/leader who is still functional in a fight, but when it comes down to anything precise, she needs her Olympic-Level trained Partner.

When bad things happen to a Mary Sue, it's only for sympathy points, and they come out on top. S3 She had to be the Guardian- And then we get a series of things that were only solvable because she was the guardian. Her ability to make charms is literally 'Just believe you can' Su-Han shows up and she mocks him. etc etc. Gabriel beats her in S5! -and his wish gives her everything she wants. She is tormented in Derision! -And all it does is make Adrien even more on her side, she's already won and they used her 'trauma' for comedy for 4 seasons.

The biggest thing though is how almost nothing ever progresses without Marinette's attention(a little changes in S5, but that's just because Felix is even MORE of a Mary Sue when he shows up, his localized Sueness defeats her general Sueness) Even when you have a protagonist centered story, most narratives will have a world that lives and breathes and side characters with lives outside the main. The world they live in feels alive. With a Mary Sue(and ML) the world stops completely and almost ceases to exist if the Sue is not present to influence things.

Now I'm gonna blow your mind- A Mary Sue isn't always bad! You *can* write a strong narrative around a Mary Sue- as long as you recognize it.

Marinette is a fun character!

If the show ran with 'Marinette is amazing and multi talented and a paragon, capable in every situation' then you know, that works! Your hero can be blessed! People loved *Superman* to pieces for decades while he was basically invincible. Doc Savage was a thing in the Pulp Era.

The problem is they want to try and run this 'normal girl! oh so clumsy. Oh put upon, pity her, poor girl.' Line, and yet... she just wins, and wins, and always wins, and never stops winning. She is always considered morally by the end of every episode. She wins without even trying (her victory vs Lila was handed to her. She got her power upgrades basically out of the blue each time) So these two disparate things don't click. They create cognitive dissonance that aware viewers pick up on, and it makes things far less satisfying.

I just want to reiterate though. A Mary Sue is not who Marinette is, it is how the narrative *handles* her. Don't hate on Marinette. Wish she was in a better executed story.

[writer-rider-flirty-thirties]

@generalluxun!!! How could I forget about Chloe??? 😂 In my head, she'd buy every single shirt so no one else would have one except for her.

"As Ladybug's number one fan, it will be ridiculous - utterly ridiculous - if anyone else had that shirt!"

the new ladyblog merch is … polarizing

[mystic-myrtille]

Okay, just curious to what you think of this thought of mine, but I feel like the Miraculous character models sometimes look really jarringly different from each other, especially when you put them in the same frame, which makes them look like they’re characters from different shows edited in the same picture. Like, here are a couple of pictures to show my point, and it’s made worse by the fact they’re siblings who don’t look like they’re the same species. What do you think?

I see what you mean. Like, the fact that Luka and Juleka look nothing alike did bother me a little. I know siblings/fraternal twins don't have to look identical, and I guess the animation team or whoever was in charge wanted to make Luka look more like Jagged with "sharp" facial features and Juleka more like Anarka, who's heads look more soft and "round", which is fine, but they went overboard with that. Juleka has a bid head and big eyes, making her look more like an §anime girl" while Luka looks more realistic, which is a weird contrast. Someone who has never seen the show probably wouldn't realize they're related, or even think they're from different shows.

And the Bourgeois siblings... yeah Zoe must look exactly like her dad bc I see no similarity between her and any other Bourgeois. And they have the same head shape issue like the Couffaine twins with Chloes head being like really wide while Zoe's face is longer and more chubby. Though to be fair I can excuse them not looking similar since they're only half-sblings.

I actually like that the character models have such a huge variety, even if they went a little too far with some of them. It honestly wasn't much of a problem for me tbh
