“I assume you hear it a lot, Travis, you and Taylor's relationship is great for the sport. It is getting introduced to so many people.” “I appreciate that,” says Travis. "And you are and have been the perfect representation for our sport, too, I think. Personally, genuinely,” McAfee continued. “I think that there's no other human that could do what you're doing right now, and how you're doing it is awesome." “And you need to know that all of us are incredibly f---ing proud of the way you're representing all of us, dude,” McAfee finished. Travis’ response? “I’ve just gotta keep winning. If we lose a game, I mean, it’s gonna f---ing rain down baby, we’re just gonna keep winning, staying on top.”

[solomonhater]

Okay listen, so this song will always be the song I will associate Solomon and MC with. Mainly because of the bridge (3:20-3:57 specifically)

Just lemme explain. (More hc/au terms)

Solomon and MC going back to their original timeline and everything and all is great to be back. But MC cannot get that lingering feeling out of their mind of being 100% happy, especially with Solomon. They spend a good few months with Solomon and some “intimate” moments (not anything sexual) just the: You and Me against the world (MLB reference).

So this part: “How long could we be a sad song till I gave you all my best me, my endless empathy” this part is something I see with Solomon. Mainly because he always wanted to be with MC no matter what and which timeline, but MC would always go back to the brothers… (i hate this sm from the developers, i just wanna be with Sol).

“And all I did was bleed as I tried to be your bravest soldier.” Idk man, this part gives me. I don’t trust anyone but for you (MC) I’m willing to give it a chance. Dude has always been to side for and with humanity but I can see him choosing whatever MC’s path is. Which is imo “peace” to all three realms.

“Frontlines don’t you ignore me, I’m the best thing at this party” this is more, the moment MC gets back I see some kind of celebration between the characters. But why do i have a feeling that MC is not happy bc Solomon isn’t the Solomon in the “Nightbringer” timeline anymore. MC being desperate to get Solomon back but Solomon cannot be “bothered” to be “him” again? Just some cold distance between the two even though he is happy for MC to be back.

And now going to the last part. “And I wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people pleaser. Who only wanted you to see her.” This comes to Solomon’s immortality. Both cannot be bothered to be “together” unless MC is going to be immortal (which I strongly believe will happen) MC trying to have the Solomon during the NB timeline to get him back and is trying to “please” him for their “own interest”

My Solomon playlist is my comfort playlist TwT. I need help fr. Anyways don’t take it serious but this song will always be stuck in my head and if you listen to the bridge and till the end I hope you understand what I try to say.

ALTERNATIVE PROPOSED TIMELINE PART 3!! (yes, really).

in the same day i’m back. because im a fool, MLB’s fool, trying to invent sense where there is none, because i stick my middle finger to the sky and Thomas Astruc’s logic, but whatever. May as well give you at least a few options to choose. This kinda blends a bit of part 1 and part 2 but is a bit more detailed than part 2. Am i actually writing these because i might need a sensible timeline for a hypothetical fic that may or may not actually get written? maybe.

preface: So, we know Cat blanc happens on St Athanasius’ feast day because it’s Adrien’s 5th name day (saddling a kid with 4 wasn’t enough, Gabriel?). Catholics celebrate it on May 2, and France is Catholic. If you google the feast day it’ll tell you january 18th (the byzantine one), which is why i made part 2, but well, France isn’t Greek. lol. It also probably looks more similar to the one on the Wiki, except mine blends s1 and 2. (btw love how the wiki said screw you to canon and wrote it out year by year.) Some watching orders would naturally be shuffled around but no way in hell am i writing that all out.

The usual logic applies. (As in “the writers/animators won’t do X so therefore Y doesn’t have to apply”.)

Emilie coma: June 2015. Because in origins, Adrien defied his father to make it to school, as if his mother’s (more recent) disappearance had put fresh determination and angst in him.

S1+s2: Sept 2015 to June 2016. Marinette turns 14 late 2015, Octoberish. Chronology messy, seasonal weather nonexistent, some season 1 and 2 episodes are next to each other. exhibit a: dark cupid. Snow magically appears in the christmas special (Dec 2015) where it’s adrien’s first christmas without mum, and doesn’t show up ever again (it’s gone by dark cupid). Heroes’ day could be any day since it’s nonexistent irl, thus, June.

Shanghai: June 2016. (according to thomas there may or may not be overlap with the start of season 3). Since they’re still in the same school year and France finishes slightly later in July.

S3: July 2016 to June 2017. Cat Blanc: 2 May. Felix arrives after this on the second anniversary of Emilie, not the first. (Maybe it's 100 weeks to make it closer to cat blanc). Lady Noir makeout sometime after the 2017 new year, which makes them more logically couple of the 2017 year. (I’ll bet Alya voted for that 49,000 times.) Marinette turns 15 late 2016.

New York: June 2017. Miss Bustier announces she’s preggers and from there remains amazingly flat-bellied. irl that can actually happen lol. Mr Pigeon 51 happens, and from then on probably gets akumatised twice a day.

S4: July 2017 to April 2018. I chose July since Marinette’s shown riding off after school with Luka early on, which could finish early July, then as Marinette’s frantically talking to Alya in her Ladybug suit she mentions it’s holidays. So it could be summer holidays. Also Miss Bustier’s had the baby in March.

Ephemeral can actually be anywhere, really, but for poetic reasons i kept it around the 3 year mark. Initially, Gabriel says “100 weeks”, but given that this is now impossible (hem hem nevermind within the show itself lol), that means i can pick any date i want. unless we want to make it 3 years, which is 156 weeks, but that doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. 150 weeks would make it in at least April. Marinette is now 16 (from late 2017) and quite old enough for a boyfriend by now (heheh). 

This time frame also accomodates Qilin’s ‘more than a month late for Mother’s day’, placing it near the start of the season (but after Mr Pigeon because protective charms) and not near the end. Also makes room for Dearest Family’s January 6 setting for King’s day. Therefore watch order is still a little shuffled.

Total passage time between origins and end s4: 31 months.

i by no means expect them to continue with s5 in a way that lets me keep this (bahahaha hell i’m already going outside ‘canon’ to write this). As the seasons go on, we can expect more of these timelines to appear. If/when Miss Bustier ever gives birth, i’m going to disregard it just like they disregard other things.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Harem

explaining some things, especially with regards to possible future haters' comments

What it counts to MLB I'm in my MDC's harem era, which means I ship her with a few of the men in MLB world, plus crossovers.

Favorites: Daminette, Felinette, Jasonette

Honorable mention to: Chloe/Mari friendship & Lila exposed

This is fiction, if you want to read "socially acceptable" that's good for you, but stop being entitled and thinking that you can demand others to follow you - and your beliefs, ideas and opinions. They're fictional characters, they aren't one-dimensional therefore there's no such thing as only being acceptable in one way, like... That's not how it works.

In MLB, I started by shipping the square love, then I only shipped marichat. The 3 others parts of the square love are toxic, it involves obsession, stalking, among others [from both sides]. I still like marichat a bit, but it's tainted by 3rd season and the "Mr. High Road". Therefore I searched for other things and I found Maribat fandom and Felinette, I'm literally obsessed with those.

I know that people are toxic about these choices of pairings and there might be so many "arguments" that are easy to refute, but instead of it I'm going to give an advice: if you don't like something, block it, "not interested on", whatever you need to clean those things off your timeline. You are not being the bigger person by publishing those 15s hate videos, you're just spreading abusive behavior. You're just making sure that someone doesn't feel safe in the internet tru cyberbullying, and if you think that's ok you need help!

You're free to have your own likes, opinions and ideas, but you have no right to try to impose your beliefs on others: that's the same that people do with religion, politics and even LGBT community. Some of you are committing crimes without realizing: cyberbullying, slander/defamation...

You're only going to be happy when concentrating your life and time in what makes you happy. If spreading hate makes you happier, seek help urgently! These are all fiction characters. It's ok if you want to read vanilla, especially if you're a minor, but you're entitled as fuck if you think you have any say in what others enjoy in their free time.

Have a good day, with love...

[universallywriting]

I watched MLB only about 2/3 through season 1 and dropped it because I couldn’t find an episode. I still see it on your blog and seeing fandom stuff with half context is always endearing and nostalgic, good fun. Then you answer an anon talking shit about the show. You talk about its flaws. And like. When the FUCK did THIS show imply queerness?!?! WHAT? Like. This show always seemed to play it so safe with the status quo and its plot and. I’m. Amused, slightly happy, but so, so confused.

AI have an addiction to fan content, and Miraculous has always had some of the best shit hands down. Do you like romance fanfic? Ladybug has you COVERED. I enjoyed the show for its campy cuteness in previous season, but I really just watched it so I could enjoy fan content (I also watched it out of order, because it airs out of order).

Words cannot express how furious I am that S4 got its hooks into me and I am now a 100% unironic fan of the show. I'm rewatching the show with my friends in the correct order and I'm just, like, genuinely into all the foreshadowing. I'm into the themes. I love the characters. I'm so mad sdlk;asdl;kaj. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OWL HOUSE.

The show does imply queerness through these two characters, and it's very sweet:

But lemme explain what's been happening in S4 that's suddenly changed my perspective on the show. It'll be under the cut, so it's basically me just pitching Miraculous with spoilers from the most recent season to explain why you might want to hop back in.

I did not expect much from this show. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I love sitcoms, I love cartoons like Craig of the Creek and Gumball. I don't need every show to be this big, epic, deep journey like SU was, and I definitely don't think that that's the only thing that makes the show good.

Miraculous is loose with its rules. The show is very bubbly, and very sweet, with a sort of "fix-it" button at the end of everything. In the early seasons, it's extremely repetitive, predictable, and simplistic.

Well. I have no idea if this was the plan from the beginning or if they're catering to their older audience, but about halfway through season three they decided to step on the gas and change everything up and have not slowed down sense, and it's genuinely shocking because it makes sense in context with the rest of the show, and gives you a totally different feeling on rewatch.

Spoilers, of course, but we're now getting emotional breakdowns from the characters because the weight of their superhero lives is messing with their secret identities. Past experiences are giving characters nightmares. Marinette is now in charge of all the miraculouses. Alya is now in on the secret and a permanent miraculous holder. Nino is in on Alya's secret identity but not Marinette's. Adiren is now aware that some people know each other's identities, but he still doesn't know his partners'. People are receiving charms that will stop them from being akumatized ever again, meaning the show is literally locking itself out of its previous repetitive structure. Chloe basically said straight up, "Hey Hawkmoth, thanks for dropping by. No brainwashing needed. I want superpowers so I can ruin lives today."

And, most delightedly, Marinette is currently working off false information from a doomed timeline and believes that if she and Chat ever find out each other's identities, Chat will be akumatized and literally destroy the world.

The early repetitive nature of the seasons is now being portrayed not as them having no ideas, but as them taking the time to set up a cast of characters who will part of the superhero team of the future. It set up characters that seem to be considering a life of supervillainy. It keeps taking the old aspects of the show and adding layers.

I absolutely cannot tell you if this was all planned, if this is all going to go somewhere, or if it'll be good in the future. The things that are intriguing me could be mistakes, or sideplots, and the show could easily do some crazy stuff to go back to the status quo.

But right now, Miraculous is waking up every week and saying "I will not rest until everyone in this show is traumatized" and that's just really exciting to me. I think it's worth the watch if only because it's a really fascinating way to tell a story, and there's a lot to learn from these unconventional techniques.

In Defense of Lukanette/Adrigami

I have recently completed watching the animated superhero television show Miraculous Ladybug for the first time, and I have some thoughts.

Now, before I start rambling, I just want to say that I’m not trying to criticize anybody for their preferred ship in MLB. I’m just trying to encourage employing critical thinking when it comes to the show, the characters, and the plot lines. Even if I don’t convince you in this argumentative essay, it is my hope that you will at least perceive things a little more deeply regarding Miraculous Ladybug.

Okay, so for the most part, Miraculous was a decent enough show. I’m not going to go shouting from the rooftops “F*CK YOU, THOMAS ASTRUC!!!”, as some people are apt to do. He is the show’s creator and is at the liberty to do whatever he likes with it. 

However, that doesn’t mean I have to agree with him on everything.

Despite its best parts, the show has a lot of flaws, and even though I could sit here all day complaining about what’s wrong with it, I’m choosing for focus on a single aspect of it (for now): the illusion of the OTP.

The Love Square - which involves Marinette liking Adrien and Chat Noir liking Ladybug, even though Marinette is Ladybug and Chat Noir is Adrien - never made much sense to me, even from the beginning. These are the problems I’ve found with it.

1. THAT’S NOT EVEN HOW LOVE WORKS

Now, I could be wrong, but if you love someone - and I mean really love someone - that love wouldn’t be jeopardized because of the love interest simply wearing a costume. And yes, I understand that Marinette and Adrien’s civilian identities act differently than their superhero ones, but still. THEY’RE THE SAME F*CKING PEOPLE!!! I’ve shouted myself hoarse about this loophole more times than I can count. If they were truly in love, wouldn’t Marinette like Chat Noir as much as Adrien? And wouldn’t Adrien like Marinette as much as Ladybug?

2. THEY DON’T LOVE EACH OTHER

Riding on the back of what I just said, the Love Square only proves that it isn’t true love. If it were, they would love each other regardless of whether they were wearing their costumes or not! And there is simply nothing else I can add to this.

3. THE LOVE SQUARE FEELS SHOVED DOWN MY THROAT

The production team for the show has missed out on the chance of some excellent character-building scenes in favor of the Love Square. They’ve been trying to sell it to us ever since the show began. Sure, the Love Square has had its moments, but it ultimately would not suffice as an actual romantic relationship. One of the worst things the show has done is scrap Lukanette and Adrigami. I think deep down all of us knew it was the move they were gonna make, but they dated for like TWO EPISODES. Even if they weren’t gonna keep them, they should’ve at least showed the relationship on more levels, at least to show Marinette and Adrien maturing emotionally.

4. THE REVEAL WOULDN’T CHANGE ANYTHING

Some people take the side of “Oh, but once they find out their secret identities, they’ll love each other!” THAT’S NOT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT ALL!!! Marinette would only love Chat Noir because he was Adrien, and Adrien would only love Marinette because she was Ladybug! Even people who support the Love Square agree on this!! They try to present a solution in which Ladybug falls in love with Chat Noir first and Adrien for Marinette, but that too is unrealistic. In the show’s timeline, Marinette and Adrien have been superheroes for three years. I mean, COME ON. 

And 5. IT WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS

We all saw what happened in Chat Blanc. Love Square = The End of Days. You can kid yourself all you like, but it’s the truth.

Maybe it wouldn’t unfold quite like Chat Blanc, but Marinette and Adrien becoming romantically attached would provide a vital opportunity for Hawk Moth. It’s not like he’s been the best at planning before, but this would be a hard one to miss. 

Perhaps these five reasons aren’t enough to sway you, but they’re good enough for me. And now I turn my attention to the benefits of Lukanette and Adrigami.

1. THEY LOVE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE

Marinette and Adrien have not always been superheroes, but they’ve always been themselves, and that’s who they are at their core. Luka loves Marinette for who she is, and Kagami loves Adrien for who he is. It’s that simple.

2. FAR LESS CONTRADICTIONS

The dilemma involving identities is nonexistent in a Lukanette/Adrigami scenario. If Marinette and Adrien revealed their identities to Luka and Kagami, well, that would just be the sprinkles on top of an ice cream sundae. The love of my life is a superhero too? That’s so like them. Also, this type of reveal wouldn’t pose any threat Hawk Moth-wise. 

3. THEY CAN HELP EACH OTHER GROW

If the Love Square were to happen, I think it would be a den of awkwardness. Adrien has had very little exposure to the outside world, and if he began a romantic relationship with Marinette, a lot of the time it would be Marinette showing stuff and teaching things to Adrien, which might be nice in some cases, but does not sound particularly fetching to me. With Lukanette and Adrigami on the other hand, it would be the two of either couple teaching things and showing stuff to each other. Luka could show Marinette to play guitar, Marinette could teach Luka how to bake (one of my dream Lukanette scenes is one of Marinette passing on her fashion skills to Luka). 

I think this could work for Adrigami also. Both of them have been sheltered for all their lives, and I think it would be nice to see them discovering new things together. They could also teach each other the stuff they already know; Kagami could work on her art skills with Adrien, they could teach each other languages, maybe Adrien could show Kagami to play the piano (or whatever that video game was in Gamer), and so on and so forth. And obviously, at some point, one of them would say to the other, “It’s you and me against the world.”

For me, Lukanette and Adrigami are just more appealing, and I can’t see why the show runners don’t feel that way as well. If they’re refusing it in favor of conflict to drive the show, they can provide that conflict through Lukanette and Adrigami. I mean, seriously - Luka and Kagami would be dating superheroes. That doesn’t come without its side effects.

If their reasoning is “we’ve been alluding to the Love Square ever since the show started”, then scrap the Love Square! I think Marinette and Adrien work better in a friend capacity anyway! Besides, changing love interests is a part of life, and doing this in the show would add a bit more realism to a rather unrealistic television program.

In conclusion, Lukanette and Adrigami could send MLB soaring to new heights, and provide a deviation from the same boring old formula.

“I can assure you me and your father can take care of ourselves.”

“Against normal villains yeah, but what if someone scarier comes. Or a particularly vicious Akuma?”

“What do you want to say sweety?”

“Maman… I want you to join the miraculous team.” Marinette stated and pulled a small box from her bag. 

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

“Oh sweety.” Sabine took the box and opened it. Inside laid a panjas bracelet with tiger mark in the middle. “You didn’t have to. Your old lady can kick ass without such things.” She smiled and put on the bracelet. A dark pink spirit reassembling a tiger appeared.

“Oh! Hi there. Hi hi. I see I have a new wielder.” Roaar turned to Marinette. “Thank you guardian for choosing me for this. I am sure we will achieve great things together.”

“No problem Roaar. I hope you two will get by great together.” The girl smiled at enthusiastic Kwami.

“Uh… Hi little spirit. My name is Sabine.” Mother spoke, getting Roaar’s attention. 

“Ah. Pleasure to meet you. Hi Hi. I am Roaar, the kwami of power. I can grant you the strength, speed, agility or endurance in battle.”

“Roaar is also very friendly. You told me that you wish to have someone to read books with like the old times but I am always busy. She said she loves adventures. I am sure you will have a perfect time together maman!” Marinette was beaming. She could already see that her mom and the kwami would match each other perfectly. 

“That is indeed very considerate Marinette. Thank you for this gift. I can assure you we will do our best to help you sweety. And kick Chat Noir in the ass the moment I see him.” Sabine smiled overly sweet at the thought. 

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

The next two months passed without much progress. Police disregarded the evidence whatsoever and all attempts to infiltrate Agreste manor ended with failure. The new heroine Pink Tigress joined the permanent rooster of heroes in Paris. Ladybug offered her father a miraculous too, but he decided that he will leave this stuff to the awesome girls in the house. 

Marinette spent most of her days either with Damian or Chloe. The girl didn’t pester Marinette for a miraculous like she expected and even covered for the young heroine when she needed it. She declared that she will earn her right be hero properly this time. But she was still her sassy self.

Alix indeed shifted sides, but so far she was unable to convince anyone else about Lila’s lies. Any attempt would end up with some Akuma and later the person would not remember what caused it or would eat up Lila’s lies. In the end it seemed that the liar was rooted too deeply to remove her. It didn’t really disheart neither Damian nor Chloe from trying. The two made it their personal mission to at least make Lila fear for her little empire at each step, albeit with little success besides few Akuma attacks. Marinette had no way of persuading them to stop. 

On the bright side of things, Sabine got in contact with Cass. At first the girl was reluctant to trust her newly discovered aunt, but as the relationship progressed the two woman got on the good side. Roaar also helped. Even if the sprite was not visible on camera, she still spoke on the phone and somehow the curious cat made Cass open up just enough for Sabine to make a connection. 

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

With the trip rapidly approaching, Ladybug called the war council. All of the active heroes (and Chloe) gathered in Hotel Grand Paris since it was easier and less risky. They all came in civilian clothes under different excuses. Only Pink Tigress actually used her hero persona to enter. And Chat Noir was not invited.  Nobody wanted him and Tim decided that he had some revelation about the cat. 

“Okay. We can begin.” Tim said as he activated the scrambler. No transmission could now enter or leave the room without his permission. 

“Yes. As you all know soon Damian and I will have to leave for Gotham to finalize some of the… matters.” Marinette started, but her husband interrupted her

“tt. We are formalizing the marriage.” Damian bluntly explained.

The girl blushed, but continued anyway. “Yes. And it will be hard to keep fighting Akumas on the distance and with the time difference.”

“Maybe give someone else the earrings for the time.” Stephanie disregarded the matter. “I mean look at how many heroes there are here. I am sure we can deal with this.”

“Actually, the only two staying will be Ryuko and Viperion.” Sabine quickly dozed off the girl’s hopes.

“What?” Stephanie was surprised by this. 

“Miss Bourgeois...” Damian stopped himself from saying ‘Yellow Menace’. Just because the two worked against common enemy (Lila) didn’t mean they had to like each other. They both rivalized for Marinette’s attention. So far Damian still got most of it, but the girl made sure that Chloe didn’t feel neglected. She always made sure to invite the mayor’s daughter to all group activities and things that weren’t dates. Or at least what she didn’t think would be dates. That was one weird evening. 

“Chloe is going with the class. And I am very sorry Chloe but I am still hesitant to trust you with Miraculous.” Marinette stopped Damian from saying something that would turn the war council into just war.

“No worries Mari-bug. I know I acted utterly ridiculous! and I still must work for the trust. And I have some business in Gotham that I couldn’t really miss.” Chloe grinned maliciously. 

“Do we want to know what is that you seek in the city of crime, miss Bo… Chloe?” Kagami asked. She was still not used to referring to others by their first names. 

“Nope!” The girl stated smugly, popping the ‘P’. 

“Maybe it would be best to look back at Paris right now.” Luka decided to remind them why they were here between humming some songs. 

“Yes! But before the Hawkmoth matter, “ Marinette looked at the older Wayne in the room. “Tim, you said you had something about Chat Noir.”

“Right. Just let me get some coffee first” He stood up but Steph and Damian pulled him down.

“No coffee for you before this is over Drake. Some of us had evening plans.” The glare Damian sent him could only be rivaled by his fathers one, but Tim just shrugged. The boy was either bravest person on earth or just much too tired to care about his health. Given the amount of coffee he drank, it was almost certainly the second one.

“Fine Demon Spawn. Way to ruin the mood.” Red Robin instead displayed the video of fight with Chat d’Amour from various cctv cameras. “One thing bugged me about this one. He was akumatized to go after Mari, but it doesn’t make much sense. What would get him upset?”

“I… Actually I have no idea…” Marinette admitted.

“Oh! I can have few ideas.” Chloe chimed in. “But none are good. The best one is that this leather-clad jerk was just self-pitying himself so much that he attracted Akuma. But the other one is much worse: he actually followed you around and got angry with the fact you were dating Damian. It means he is even more creepy.” At this idea Marinette couldn’t help but notice that Kagami and Damian instinctively grabbed their swords. The fencer now carried a katana around. Her mother was pleased when the girl extended her repertoire and Damian had a sparring partner. Plus both looked less awkward if both brought swords to school. What Mari failed to notice is her mother slipping one hand into the sporting bag she had and pulling a rather large knife. It only got her attention when Sabine started sharpening it while looking about as casually as Chloe when she was applying make-up. She seemed natural.

“Uh… I apreciate the protectiveness, but I think you are scaring someone maman.”

“Don’t worry sweety. I just remembered that I forgot to do this back home.” Mother said casually, trying to calm her daughter. “I asked your aunt to get me one with Cat motif on it.” 

“Maman!”

“ekh.” Damian faux-coughed, getting their attention.

“Right. So what is the real reason Tim?”

“Well, I did some thinking and I came to the conclusion that while both reasons are probable, neither match the timeline.”

“Get to the finish line hon.” Stephanie urged him.

“Chat Noir is Adrien Agreste.” Tim sighted.

“I take it back. Explain.” The dumbfounded expression on Spoiler’s face spoke volumes.

“So first I back-tracked the time of his akumatization. Based on the moment he crashed your party I put it against how long it would take him to get there from each point in town and how long it would take Akuma to get from the spawning zone to him in that location. All times were average and I factored in the uncertainty. But no matter how you look at it, to match with this exact timing he had to start from this circle.” To make it easier to understand, Tim displayed the map of Paris with maked Hotel, the spawning zone as they came to call area from where Akumas supposedly originated (now even smaller than before with Agreste Manor close to the center), and a ring around the hotel. “As you can see, the ring goes directly through College Francoise Dupont. It would make sense if he was actually in the building or at least close. We also already knew that Chat Noir was around the same age as Marinette. This leaves us with three options. He would either need to be home-schooled, attend the college or not go to school at all to be able to be there. That is unless he was skipping school, but it is improbable.”

“And why is that Sherlock?” Chloe interrupted.

“Because it would be too hard for him to skip school enough to stay Chat Noir. I checked his arrival time on other Akuma cases. There is no other school in close enough proximity for him to attend if he didn’t constantly skip classes just to patrol the city or more specifically shadow your class. Take that Queenie!” He raised his hand in the air before resuming his serious tone. “Anyway. Based on this and the fact he was always close to his class I came to conclusion that he was a student at the school. Then I just went through all the male students that weren’t akumatized and compared their confirmed locations with Chat Noir sightings. I admit the Gorrizilla case threw me off track for a moment, but then I noticed that Chat was not present for the most of the case until Adriens head was covered by a helmet. It just so happened that our model just so happened to meet his look alike on that day. Coincidence? I think not!” He screamed.

“That is indeed some revelation…” Kagami started, but Tim shushed her.

“That’s not the end. I believe that Chat Noir is now working with Hawkmoth!”

Why I think Gabriel Agreste is working with Master Fu

Gabriel Agreste is definitely not the endgame villain in Miraculous. It’s stated in the season 4 overview that there’s a villain called “Shadow Moth” and I’m pretty sure I also saw a page saying that there’s a “greater evil” in the Quantic Universe but I couldnt’ find it. If anything, I think he’s working with Fu on some weird convoluted plan to get the Miraculous team in shape before shit hits the fan. Or at least, that’s what I’m telling myself bc i want mlb to have good writing even though I know it doesn’t. Here are some of the questions/ conclusions I had when thinking about this topic.

How did Fu know to give Marinette and Adrien their Miraculous when he did? Hawkmoth hadn’t made any akumas yet, and given that his self built brand and manor have butterfly motifs there’s no question that Gabriel has had the Butterfly Miraculous or at least known about it for a decent bit of his life. I know the timeline says that Nathalie discovered the Miraculous and Emilie discovered the book  on a trip to Tibet with Gabriel one year prior to canon occurring, but that doesn’t explain:

Why Gabriel, Emilie and Nathalie went to Tibet in the first place-- where was Adrien in all of this? Did they really just leave him home alone? (which leads to another headcanon of mine that I will later write up)-- and how they knew to dig through rubble and dust to find these Miraculous. Since the sentimonster Feast reportedly destroyed all of the order, it stands to reason that the area where the Miraculous were lost is in disarray. Nathalie doesn’t seem the type to go grave robbing without reason.

Why the kwamii told them the transformation phrases (yes, they’re bound to the Miraculous, but I’d like to think they still have some free will)

Why does Gabriel focus his attacks on Francois Dupont? Yes, teenagers are highly emotional and all that but there’s definitely adults out there who have more life threatening/altering events occur to them that would make more effective akumas should Gabriel wish to use them. 

But we don’t get shown all of the akumas, you say. This... this is true. But also, why wouldn’t they show some of these other akumas instead of showing off all of these akuma 2.0 episodes?

It’s easier to connect to akumas who are close to characters we already know or are characters we already know, you say. Then did we have to get there totally random akumas that have literally nothing to do with the plot except filler? (Mr. Pigeon, I’m looking at you.) This is probably just poor writing on their part, but they really could have made 2-3 episodes focusing on the harder akumas 

Why did Gabriel ramp his attacks up gradually instead of hitting hard right off the bat? The Timeline in the Ladybug wiki makes a clear reference to both Gabriel and Emilie using their powers during the year they acquired their Miraculous, so he obviously knows his restrictions and that he can direct akumas towards a certain direction. Gabriel is rich. there’s no way he can’t make it so someone’s life goes down the drain and conveniently akumatize them to get the most bang for his buck. 

Gabriel hires this man to be his son’s Chinese tutor. Do you really think that he’s going to get this weird old dude--who likely doesn’t have a license in education because Wang Fu isn’t that kind of guy-- teach his one and only child Chinese when there are many other better options available? Yeah, yeah he moonlights under the name Mr. Chan but Gabriel has resources and is definitely an overprotective father.

Oh, that’s right, Gabriel is an overprotective father. 

Why in the world would he ever make akumas near his son if he didn’t know that Adrien had an out? 

Adrien’s enrollment in Francois Dupont, a school full of an odd combination of the insanely wealthy and influential and the not so well off that has a weirdly weak principal doesn’t make sense if he’s overprotective. Sure, Adrien and Nathalie go against his wishes and get him enrolled there to begin with, but again, as a parent he has a right to take his child out of the school afterwards, which means he isn’t totally averse to the idea. Why does Gabriel let him go to Francois Dupont? Because out of all the schools in France, it is the combination of overly lenient educators and highly volatile students mixtures that will allow him to make akumas near his son.

As for why Emilie used the Peacock Miraculous to the point of magical induced coma, that is a headcanon I will explore at a later date. 

Really, I’m just trying to explain away MLB’s bad writing because i want it to not be awful. I’ll probably be making a fic out of these observations eventually(or incorporating these ideas into current fics), but if anyone else wants to do so, hit me up!! I’d love to read.

Vanguard Zero awkward match ups part 2

Guy’s it’s Vanguard If😂

It even ended the same way as the first If episode 😂. Emi you need Majesty Lord Blaster to win we all know that’s how your gonna beat Aichi.

I literally Cardfighted someone who got 3 heal triggers in a row when I was about to beat them.

Me in that moment: Ibuki did nothing wrong...

Alternate timeline where Kai loses and Kourin gets Majesty Lord Blaster to save Aichi😂. Nailed it!

My opponent even got a heal trigger like it was the anime. Also, losing to luck is literally the most frustrating thing I lost to at least 3 people today drawing heal triggers at 6 damage, one person I fought got two heal triggers in a row when I had double crit and well as you already know I lost to triple heal triggers when I had triple crit.

Probably happens earlier in the MLB Kourin-verse 😂. Aichi rematches Kyou and curbstomps him with the Shadow Paladins this time.

Umm...This is awkward...

Dark Aichi: Eh? Another me!?

Aichi: What me with the Shadow Paladins!?

Chris: Aichi!?

Dark Aichi: Do I know you?

Chris: It’s me Chris remember we fought in the Asia Circuit and on Cray.

Dark Aichi: I have no idea what your talking about but I’m gonna crush you

Chris: (thinks) Wait! Is this Aichi when he was consumed by Psyqualia like me? He did mention that when we fought but how is that possible? All I know for sure is that this definitely isn’t the Aichi I know.

Dark Aichi: So your that other me that brat was talking about. I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed with how weak you are.

(AC) Aichi: No! I wasn’t supposed to lose! So, this is the strength of the past me under Psyqualia’s influence...it’s truly terrifying. I’m glad Kai stopped me in time.

Yuumi’s art process (with pics!)

This is how I go about doing the art palettes, and generally how I do art (specially on lose, not so long pieces such as these). I’ll breakdown the process under the cut so I don’t spam people’s timelines (´･ω･`)

I was going to put these final advises at the very end but someone else might make use of these instead of going through the whole thing so here:

Important things to keep in mind in case you’re learning and actually think I’m worth being listened:

References are GOOD. No one is perfect and no one knows how to draw stuff from their memory so go google weird things, Google-sensei won’t judge. Hopefully. (else set your navigation on private).

Brushes and whatnot don’t make the artist, but it sure as hell help you feel like you’re doing what you like or not. I can’t stress enough how many times I’ve just not finished works because my brushes felt “off”.

Posemaniacs is very good for both anatomy and speed practise (I’m aware I’m really fast compared to my fellow artist friends but by no means it’s a standard, I just got used to work fast uwu)

Be careful with your wrist!!! use your whole arm when drawing!! and also T a k e · b r e a k s.

Art block is a bitch and strikes anyone. I’m usually artblocked but if you find something you’re passionate about go draw that, whatever it is. (I hadn’t consistently drawn in p much 5 years after college and thanks to MLB season 3 here I am LOL)

And now for the actual breakdown:

Step 1: Sketch

My first step is the sketch, which some of you might think “but it’s SO CLEAN!!”, yes, sometimes I leave my sketches as lines and polish them a bit. Anyways, these is what my sketch looks like and next an important thing:

...which is the 2/3 rule! Photoshop blabbery ahead, tl:dr how i made the grid

I’ve been doing this small trick by filling a layer of any color, lowering the opacity to 50% and transforming it to 33,33% it’s height duplicate and place on each side of the canvas and then merge, and then another layer doing the same but doing 33,33% width instead of height. Then I merge both layers, set the opacity to 30% and the result is that perfect 2/3 rule. 

If you don’t really know what the rule is, I kindly suggest this instead of my explanation bc words are not my forte. 

Step 2: Lineart! 

Nothing to say here other than cleaning the lines from earlier with a different (or the same in this case) brush as the sketch one. Opacity varies from day to day.

I have several styles of lineart and they all come with the mood I feel on that day, so don’t be afraid of experimenting and finding what you like most! I personally like thin lines a lot but also thick lines too! i’m constantly looking for the perfect line™ and to give an idea this is what my brushes look like:

in summary, practise with as many tools you can find around and see which ones you like most uwu

Step 3: Base Color

This is probably the part where I give up the most bc it boooooores me LOL. I try to spend as little time as possible in order to overcome this step. These are usually colors I use in 99% of my pics, since... idk years. If you look in my old arts in twitter you’ll see them haha.

Something important I’d like to mention here is ✨LAYERS✨:

This is how my layers look like in the base color part. I tend to do 1 for skin color, 2 for hair / eyes, 3+ for clothes and stuff. I tend to separate them in colors so they don’t merge! I go with numbers because... I think it’s faster to type and I’ve been using this way of naming for years so it works for me, what matters is that you group your layers and keep them organized uwu (specially if someone else has to look at your psd files >>)

Step 4: Shading!

Normally, I shade every single layer with a proper shade but on the case of the palette challenge I’m doing just the skin because I want to stress the light mood. Liiiike if I want to go with a softer light I’d use lighter shades or a stronger light = stronger shades. To pick colors, I usually go with that brown from Chat Noir and Marinette’s jacket as my universal black (I don’t like working with black, I’m weird), and most of the colors I just eye pick from the Color Picker on Photoshop. In the right you can see my swatches:

To choose the shade tone (in this example we’ll use Chat Noir’s hair), I picked a Yellow -Adrien’s hair is specially hard to color ugh- And then with that same tone I’d choose its shade going diagonally looking for a darker tone. This way you can find interesting colors! On this pic I did that for Adrien’s hair and... the rest I did the following:

I did my lazy shading™ : which consists in a layer set to Multiply with 50% opacity (this varies depending on the light, again), and I shade everything with the same tone (my to go is purple, but sometimes I use other colors too). This gives a sense of uniformity and the resulting shades are way nicer in my opinion.

Step 5: But Yuumi... where are the palettes???

I take that people straight handpick the palettes and use them to shade all the way and I respect them for that. I instead decided to do whatever floats my boat so I color regularly but add the palettes over the whole thing to change the overall mood and colors of the illustration. I randomly use the Gradient Tool and use the palettes’ colors around and then set that layer to Screen, Multiply, Focal Light, Overlay... etc etc, whatever I feel like doing in that moment, and so the magic happens! :’D 

I don’t usually do this on my works but this is a new way to experiment for me and I’m having fun with it!

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Here is where I use the palettes the most, adding random highlights in whatever way I feel like. Yep, I pretty much Ladybug my whole coloring process: Wing it and go with the flow™. I’m still learning about lighting and whatnots but I really don’t care at this point LOL

To which you’ll say: But Yuumi?? In art school they told me that---

To which I say: shhhhhhhhhhhhh assigntments are over for me. go watch some Bob Ross (I am serious). Do whatever you feel like. Be happy. No one is going to judge you, and if they wanna judge they better be paying for your work first. so. whatever you do: BE HAPPY. or don’t do it. unless it’s a school assignment, in that case go do it or i’ll kick your ass.

✦ Finishing Notes ✦

So yea, that’s my art process in how I’ve been doing these Miraculous Color Palettes and generally how I go about my illustrations most of the time. For more complex illustrations, I need to remember how I did those (oops). And actually, do them. These illustrations usually take up 2 or 3 hours to make, on other pieces i’ve been working on them for up to 8 hours, it really varies from piece to piece, but I hope this was helpful! 

Please let me know if you have any questions, commenting in this very post will help me -and others?- keep track of things and learn together! My asks are also open and I’ll reply as fast as I can uwu (my requests are still waiting there, don’t worry).

aaaaand that’s all, folks. Stay Peachy! 

[purrincess-chat]

I'm curious about your rewriting of the MLB canon, could you talk a little more about it please?

Of course!

What would you like to know? The basic premise that started it was less salt at canon cause I've had this idea for a long time like over a year and a half ish? I think it started back in the BB days (miraculous big bang), and we were all chatting about stuff, and I was like ya know it's awfully convenient for Hawkmoth that Master Fu sent out the exact two Miraculouses that he needed, and also rather risky on Fu's part considering if they failed then someone has all of the power in the universe on his side, so I was like what if Fu just decided to give Hawkmoth the finger and send out a whole ass different Miraculous. So he still gives Marinette the Ladybug, but what if he gave Adrien a different one besides the cat just to mess with him? Now there's probably some bullshit balance yin yang reason for sending them both out together but fuck that this is my AU I do what I want, so thus this idea was born where instead of giving Adrien the Cat, he gives him the Dog who is a less experienced kwami, so she and Adrien get to grow and learn together.

So the point of this AU was to see how different situations would be if he had a different Miraculous, but as s2 went on, we started getting more salty so I was like ya know what, if I'm gonna do this bitch, I'm gonna do it how I want and fix some shit, so I went through the episodes and picked out which ones I wanted to do and considered what I wanted to do with certain characters and relationships and plot lines, and I just recently constructed the timeline of sorts and arrangement of the episodes that I want to do, and I have two "seasons" planned, but they are a mix of canon seasons 1-3 cause I took some liberties in organizing them in a way that makes the story make sense for the rewrite not for canon order.

Somethings I wanted to do with this AU were have Adrien get to grow, so he starts out very naive and sheltered as I feel he should be because a big point of his character is that he *is*. So he makes a lot of mistakes and social blunders early on until he learns to be more well adjusted. His view of the world is very idealistic and taken mostly from movies and anime, and people have to constantly remind him that the real world is much different.

Another thing I want to tackle is an actual Chloe redemption. Because my God, canon. So Chloe will actually get a fair shot to change and become better and a worthy hero.

I also wanted to figure out a way to include Marinette in the plot more, so in this story Nathalie is actually her aunt who works for Gabriel, and it was Nathalie sending her one of Gabriel's design books for her birthday one year that sparked Marinette's interest in fashion and Gabriel's brand. Nathalie in this story is still helping Gabriel for love, but it's for the love of her dead husband whom Gabriel has promised to bring back if he succeeds in exchange for her help. She is also still the first to meet Fu, and the one to pass out the Miraculouses, though she will share with Chien (dog!chat) who she picks instead of keeping it secret.

I intend to introduce the love rivals better, and there will also be less jealousy plots. And the ones that do make it in will fizzle out over time or resolve themselves eventually, the main one being Kagami and Marinette.

I'm still debating what to do with Lila whether I want to expose her after Chameleon (which takes place in early s2 now after the collector) and have her fade into the background, or if I want to only expose her to Alya who then has Marinette's back while Lila slips around everyone else, and if in either of those combinations I want to have her help Hawkmoth eventually or not.

Which brings me to another point, I moved Lila's plot up earlier before a lot of the big classmate moments so that it's a bit more believable why the class wouldn't be super on Marinette's side yet because they've yet to experience some of their more poignant moments together (zombizou, befana, Mayura). So you should theoretically be less pissed at them and then they get a chance to redeem themselves later.

I don't want to say too much, but yeah that's some stuff that has been cooking in my brain. If you guys want, I can share the order I came up with for the episodes to maybe give you an idea for the direction of the story and some characters but it might also confuse you for why I put some episodes where, but just know that I have a plan. ;)

Currently I have two seasons planned, and I have plans for how to continue afterward, but I'm thinking I might make my own canon after that and only pull in actual canon episodes occasionally if I like them and can fit them into the mold of the story cause with what I have planned at the end of s2, canon doesn't exactly fit anymore, but we will see what s3 brings the rest of this year. This story is gonna be a long one. Each "season" is gonna have 22 episodes (at least s1 and s2 do). I don't know how long I will drag it on. Might make s3 the final season, but that will depend on what future seasons bring cause I feel like by the time I get to s3 in writing we will be well into s4 maybe even s5 in canon depending on how slowly they air the episodes. Let me know if you have anything else you're curious about with it. I don't want to spoil big plot details since I am deviating from canon quite a bit, but if you have some generic questions I'm happy to chat about it! It helps me brain storm.

[miraculouscontent]

How exactly would your MLB rewrite goal work? I mean, will it be an MC version of each chapter or will you put more than one alternative? I ask why you have made more than one alternative regarding how you would handle Chloe (She without Miraculous, she redeeming herself from the beginning of S2, she "earning" the Miraculous in Maledictor and keeping her identity secret, Amber, etc) and I have honestly enjoyed a lot to see your different ideas for the same thing

Ooo, those are good questions!

How exactly would your MLB rewrite goal work?

For one thing, I need to figure out a timeline. I’ve been hesitating because I want the Season 1 and Season 2 posts to come out relatively close to each other, but knowing that Season 2 and 3 were written at the same time, I might wait until Season 3 is over and then mix-and-match the episodes of 2 and 3 to my liking (since we already know that there are episodes in 3 that were supposed to be in 2).

The rewrites, in general, would have fairly strict rules. For the “How I’d Do Season [x],” I think I want the limitation of not being able to just disregard episodes unless I’m deleting them for a purpose (like how I often discard “Gigantitan” so “Frozer” can be longer).

“How I’d Do Miraculous Overall” would be a much more in-depth project where I’d be able to change whatever I want. I might want to do art for it, so that’s something I’ll be sitting on and considering for a while. It wouldn’t be an episode-by-episode case, but more of a “here are the characters, here’s what I changed, here’s how it’d end, etcetera.”

will it be an MC version of each chapter

(talking about the “How I’d Do Season [x]” from here on out since that’s the episode-by-episode one)

I suppose an “MC version” of an episode is a rather vague term. It could either mean my version of an episode, or an episode using the MC versions of my characters.

And that brings up even more questions, because then comes the fact that I did stuff like MC Quantic Kids and MC Amber Bourgeois. Do they play a factor or do they not count?

There would be some things that I’d definitely want to change (like how the narrative uses Audrey as a tool to make the audience feel bad to Chloe), but for the most part, I want to keep akuma and very basic plot elements the same.

will you put more than one alternative?

I do enjoy having multiple alternatives for people to look off of, but I question if I’d be able to do that for every single episode. I mean, I’ve done “Frozer” about three times, but they’re all very similar. Chloe was a special case because there were multiple paths that she could’ve gone, along with enough episodic material to tamper with. It might come to a point where I have my “main alternatives” (what I ultimately prefer) in the “How I’d Do Season [x]” posts and then have secondary posts that contain all the ideas/alternatives I didn’t use.

I have honestly enjoyed a lot to see your different ideas for the same thing

idfhjgdkg t-thanks!!! I do enjoy making alternatives. :D

Ten Years AO3

“What would you like to drink to start you off?” A pretty young lady in an apron asked as she walked up to the table. She eyed the twenty-six-year-old version of him with particular interest. Her face breaking out in a blush as he turned to the girl with a hastily thrown on smile.

“A water for me please.” “Water please,” they answered at the same time.

She nodded. “Do you two know what you'd like to eat yet?”

He cast a cursory glance over the menu and quickly decided for the two of them. “Two specials please.”

Oh well, not like Adrien had been paying attention to the menu, and funnily enough, it WAS still technically his own choice.

“H-how would you like those cooked sir?” The girl asked shyly.

“Both medium rare I think.”

“Right, and um, together or separate?”

“One ticket. I promised to treat my little brother here.” His future-self flashed a big grin and reached over the table to ruffle his hair up with a laugh. Adrien snorted and pushed the hand off before sending a mock glare.

The waitress grinned at the act and nodded before taking down the order. “I’ll get that right out for you two.”

“Thank you.”

After the woman left, He dropped the schooled smile, his expression shifting to something more relaxed and thoughtful.

“...I’ll give you another warning while I’m at it,” he said after a moment startling his counterpart into looking back at him.  “Father CANNOT find out that you're Cat Noir. No matter what happens.”

“Did he find out with you?”

“No. I got the same warning I'm giving you now.  But hindsight is fifty-fifty and I know the warning helped ME out so I’m passing it on just in case.”

Adrien frowned. “What happens if he does find out?”

“I don't know. I have suspicions, but it's better if I don't share.”

“…”

He sighed. “Sorry, I remember how frustrating it was to be told that. If I weren't worried about screwing up my chance to defeat my arch enemy and marry the girl of my dreams I might’ve been more forthcoming with that information.”

“It’s fine. You told me more than I’d-” Adrien whipped his head up. “Wait, marry?!

“Er…” His future-self was staring back with the most caught out expression he’d ever seen on an adult in his life.

“I marry Ladybug?!” he whisper-yelled, only barely conscious of the other people in the restaurant. “She’s- As in the white dress??, and the cathedral??, and, and-”

“I never said it was Ladybug!” he quickly attempted to dissuade.

“You just said the girl of your dreams! You can’t convince me you don't mean Ladybug.”

His future-self took a moment to process his scattered thoughts, before he leaned back against the cheap pleather seat, looked up at the ceiling, and groaned.

“This is some top-notch entertainment right here,” Past Plagg snickered softly from his chosen’s shirt.

“Doesn’t get any less funny the second time,” Future Plagg replied with a matching sound of mirth.

“Well, I’m glad someone finds this funny!” Future Adrien growled under his breath at the two hidden Kwamii. “I might have just screwed up the whole freaking timeline!”

“Nah kid you’re good,” his own Kwamii brushed off. “I remember you spilling the beans last time too. All it does is make the shrimpy you go more starry-eyed over bugaboo than usual. This is too close to the reveal for him to do any real damage.”

“So I do??? I marry Ladybug?? THE LADYBUG???”

The man hesitated for a moment. “...Well, I did.”

The teen practically melted in his seat at the grumbled confirmation. The heart's already in his eyes at the idea and a positively dopey grin plastered across his face.

“Oh geez, and this is when I didn't even know who she was yet. How on earth did you put up with me after the reveal Plagg? I must have driven you nuts.”

“Eh, you weren't the first Black Cat to go gaga over a Ladybug. But let's get something straight here kid, I’m STILL putting up with your particular brand of sappy lovesick nonsense.”

“You telling me this mushy stuff doesn't get toned down at ALL after the reveal?” Past Plagg demanded from Adrien’s shirt pocket.

“It gets worse,” Future Plagg reassured with a sound of disgust. “Wait till they’re dating. A crowbar couldn’t have pried those two off each other. And all the sneaking into each other's rooms at night, bleh!”

The teen currently melting in the booth sank down even further, pressing his hands to his red face with a soft keening whine.

His future-self glowered down at his jacket clad chest.

“Are you just about done Plagg?”

“Well... I was. But short you is making a pretty funny noise.”

“HEY, break your own kid!” Past Plagg hissed. “I’m the one who has to deal with all the mooning once you clear out!”

“You're quiet nights are numbered anyway if the reveal happens on schedule.” Future Plagg reasoned almost thoughtfully. “Might as well get a laugh or two out of it right?”

Past Plagg went quiet with only a reluctant sound of consideration.

“The thought of you two working together is terrifying,” Future Adrien groaned. “Can you at LEAST wait until we aren't in public before you start trying to break my mind at sixteen? Please???”

There was a matching pair of soft huffs that he took for agreement (or at the very least a temporary truce), just in time for him to catch sight of the waitress heading back with their drinks.

She passed a curious look over at the embarrassed teen and blinked up at ‘his older brother’ in confusion.

He waved it off as she came closer. “We were just talking about his new girlfriend,” he lied smoothly, flashing a charming grin. “You know how it is at that age.”

The young lady instantly smiled in understanding and lowered the glasses to the table. She probably would have normally left it there and gone back to the kitchen or checked on the other guests but she lingered a little, her expression shy and hopeful.

“Speaking o-of girlfriends…”

The teen looked up from his hands in barely hidden alarm. But the man just looked up attentively.

“I was… um… wondering if you were m-maybe single?”

“Sorry, I’m married.” He offered up his left hand as proof and sure enough sitting there on his ring finger was a golden band. Adrien half swooned on the spot.

But the poor girl flinched slightly at the sight and drew her notepad to her chest looking guilty. “Oh! U-um I’m sorry!”

“It’s fine!” he reassured pleasantly. “I’m very flattered. And I know It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there and ask. I wish my lovely Lady had been that direct with me when we started out.” he grinned a little knowingly. “She was a bit shy in the beginning.”

The girl seemed to relax ever so slightly but her voice was still soft. “I understand how that is. I-I’m not typically the kind of girl to ask for numbers or hand mine out but… leaving it to other people is a good way to lose opportunities so I'm t-trying to put myself out there a little more.”

“Very brave of you,” he encouraged with a more genuine smile.

“Thank you,” She murmured back gratefully.  “A-Anyway I’ll go check on your food.” And with that, the girl quickly left. She didn't quite flee but she was clearly a bit embarrassed and ready for the space.

“She seems sweet,” he commented once she was out of sight.

Adrien, however, seemed to have suffered another strange moment of clarity. “I just watched myself get hit on by a stranger.”

The man laughed. “Yeah, it’s been a weird day.”

It looks like this story is going to be more than 6 chapters! I had more content than I thought!

The next update will be next weekend, look forward to it!

Top 10 favorite characters Meme

The Rules:

Choose from 10 different fandoms & any medium (anime, manga, novels, movies, etc, Whatever you like) and tag 10 people.

(Did this in 2016 and I thought I’d share. The list has for the most part remained the same. Honorary #11 is probably Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney. <3)

10. Sokka – Avatar the Last Airbender / Bolin - The Legend of Kora Starting off this list, I guess I'm going with a pair so I'm.... cheating? It was sort of impossible to chose between these 2 since they're both my favorites of their individual series/arcs(?) but part of the sameish fandom  and do share some similar traits and functions in their group. They're both the funny guys and both have been often under estimated. While Sokka fulfills my need to love a brainy character who is simultaneously hilarious, Bolin does the rest by giving me an adorable, nice-guy character... who is equally funny... you... guys will start to notice a trend with the male characters I like... so... don't be too surprised if the same types pop up. I apologize in advance.

9. Sailor Jupiter aka Makoto Kino - Sailor Moon Out of all the Sailor Scouts, Makoto has always been my favorite! I always saw a bit of myself in her & her dual personality. Both tough and strong but with a gushy girly side to her too. I LOVE that about her and how balanced and natural it is for her nature. She's lovely and passionate and loves deeply even if she is tall and seems intimidating.

8. Zack Fair – Final Fantasy 7 Okay, here's my dopey joker fetish coming though... this will be followed by my "brainy" type right afterwards. lol. Zack Fair is hands down the funniest & most likable FF7 character period. I mean, what else is there to say about this guy? Fun, kinda reckless, skilled, an elite soldier, has that black haired, blue eyed combo I go nuts for and is just so willing to take little Cloud under his wing while winning off his future girlfriend in no time. lol Too charming for me to resist.

7. Donatello - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles And now for the brainy type. XD Donatello has ALWAYS been by favorite turtle and not just cause my favorite color is purple. lol I mean, I just like everything about him from his scientific brain to his choice of weapons. And I always say this to people who don't like Donatello: "If he wasn't around... all the turtles, in every series, in every continuity & medium... would totally be dead." Seriously. Donatello keeps the turtles alive for the most part by being a once in a life time genius. He doesn't get enough credit and need more praise.

6. Zoe Washburne – Firefly ... if I were to say that I had a crush on a fictional girl character, it would be Zoe. She's just... so awesome. Just so cool... like, I can't even describe it.

5. Helga G Pataki – Hey Arnold Helga from Hey Arnold is amazing. She's just so insanely in love with Arnold to the point that the football head is her muse and the light of her life. She's so obsessed that she builds shrines to his name. It's hilarious and amazing. She's a total nutjob and I love it! But she's also very astute, clever, a writer and it's painfully amusing to watch her lock that side away when she's at school to become a bossy bully. But you know... it's been 15 years almost... enough is enough. It's time to tell Arnold how you feel Helga! (and NO, I do not count that Hey Arnold movies as her confession. It was awful and very messy) The Jungle movie will FINALLY be released in 2017. I can't wait!

4. Ariel - The little mermaid Like I could leave her out. Ariel was MY Disney Princess. Fearless, curious, adventurous & a total dreamer wanting to live in the world above! I feel like she was very unjustly attacked by the internet as wanting to live out of the sea for a guy. I'm sure that cave of her treasures took her months if not years to fill and the prince was the icing on that cake combined with adolescent rebellion and persuasion after having all her collection destroyed by her father. She was not even crown princess for heaven's sake! Duh, she'd react impulsively!!! *heaves* Okay, okay. Anyways, Ariel single handedly revived Disney and paved the way for the Modern Princesses so don't say mean things about my girl Ariel!

3. Ron Weasley – Harry Potter (Books) Ron. Yeah, love this red-headed firecracker. I'll be frank, while I do enjoy movie Ron, Rupert Grint needed to have more grit written in role just to match up to book Ron. Book Ron practically acted on instinct for everything. He braved the Spiders for Hermione (it was his choice in the books) he tried to curse Malfoy and punched him in the face several times in the books. While I'm normally into different types of male characters, this red-head won me over quickly in the books even edging out funny brothers Fred and George and I think he deserved to be with Hermione after all he went through... i also have confidence issues so I relate to him a lot.

2. (Future) Trunks Brief - Dragonball Z Oh yes. My original Anime Crush. It took a very special character to dethrone Trunks from the top spot. What to say about him? Sweet, courageous, powerful so very likable. Purple Hair for the win! The Future Trunks version has always been my favorite. Being partially raised by Gohan in his dystopian timeline, his personality became kind and understanding and his quest to save his earth in the future was one of my favorite plots! Also, fell in love with his voice actors (both of them). A perfect paragon character... like the guy blow.

1. Robin/Nightwing/Agent 37 aka Dick Grayson - Batman/Nightwing/Grayson comics by DC Comics So this one was a sinch. I am flat out in love wit this character. If I could take any fictional character and bring them into real life, this guy would top my list every time. Dick Grayson, the original Robin, had been my re-introduction into mainstream comics on the DC side of things and boy what a pull! Fully encompassing everything that I find attractive in a man, (even going so far as to coincidentally having physical traits that I find attractive: dark hair & light eyes with a lean but muscular body) Dick is smart, objectively handsome, funny, playful/boyish & has a pure-hearted urge to do what's right because he believes it's what must be done. He differs greatly from his mentor's (Batman) motivations & methods by not being driven by vengeance but rather by justice & diving into a battle rather than hiding in the shadows. This former circus acrobat turned vigilante crime-fighter, is also a natural leader who people tend to trust easily and is always looking to help others with his (seemingly) constant need to be everyone's big brother. This is sooooo attrative to me and the fact that he is known to have the finest butt in all of DC doesn't hurt either.

I think in the future I might do art of all the characters in this meme... Gosh, I haven’t drawn Trunks since the early 2000s. After watching his ark in DBZ Super I have more motivations to do so...

Anyhoo, hope you got some insight into my tastes... and yes, I know, no Kingdom Hearts, Zelda or MLB characters but those franchises, I like more as a whole. But these particular characters I still like without context. (if the people I tag do this, remember to tag me back so I can read it!) And of course, if you want to do this, do it! Tag me also so I can read! @euclidstriangle @kidokaproject @stekadarr @sixofclovers @liberatedpuppeteer @littleredjay @fluoroidtheauthor @april-lilies @sofiedraws​ @re-defenestratin​  @ofpaintedflowers​ @pixelatedcoeur​ @pinoote-peanut​
