[carni-val]

Soooo it’s been a hot minute but I’m getting back into my Charlie Hunnam hyper fixation so if anyone wants to send some requests through, my ask box is open 👀

[akqrus]

Me defending Marinette from the ppl who say ''OOH but it's HER fault that Gabriel Agreste was a SHITTY father and killed himself instead of owning up to his mistakes, so she chose to let Adrien live carefree instead of living the rest of his life known as a villain's son!!'':

[meganechan05]

Himeno would be lying if she said she didn't believe in the fairytales she read as a child. But she would also be lying to say she believed a prince would come save her since she was raised to take care of herself as the sole protector and Queen of her kingdom.

So imagine her surprise when she found the icey King of Gokkan jumping off the balcony she was thrown off of with a parasol and telling her to not let go of it.

Maybe the silly fairytales aren't so silly after all.

So I heard about good guy butterfly ....

I have some comments et cetera

[tojisun]

sugar, spice, everything on ice (hockey au)

hockey player simon x f!reader’s relationship through the eyes of their fans but like smau - sorta like this!!

simon has never really used his socials properly before. hell, he probably still gets his gossip from the grapevine (being their locker room) or something. of course their goaltender, price, isn’t any better, but at least the man is active online. riley? a fucking ghost.

until, of course, his girl starts popping up in people’s posts.

[hotdamnhunnam]

Hiiiii bb!

I’m coming to pick your brain about Charlie’s kisses, and if you have any favorites from all his roles?

He’s so fucking romantic, and handsy, and sweeps you off your feet. Like every prince charming 👀 rolled into one.

One of my favorites is this one:

The slight head tilt to the left, the thoughtful blink and tilt to the right, THE EYE CONTACT— after he has decided to kiss her?????? FUCKING FUCK

Weaving his hands into her hair and holding her face 🚨🚨🚨

His thumb stretching up to hold MORE of her face 😭🪦

And he dips his head down to capture her lips, then tilts his head back up😭😭😭😭😭😭

So… what are your fave Charlie kisses? Are there any that you’ve watched on repeat and analyzed up the wahoo like I have? 😂

OMFG YES GURRRLLL!!! 💯

Charlie kissing is a WHOLE DAMN KINK and never fails to rock my fucking world 🫠

Do I have faves?!??! For starters THIS ONE with big thanks to you for the gif babes 😘 — the way he’s seriously swallowing her face??! Sucking the soul out of her mouth as his thumb sweeps over her cheek?? The angling of his head messing his hair up as he crushes her deeper into the bed and then the passionately pressing way he mushes his lips into hers make me so fucking weak?!?!??!?! Never mind that we all know from how many times we’ve shamelessly studied this scene, that his left hand eventually lowers to cup her jaw/throat/neck and practically choke her which renders me a goddamn wreck like it’s obscene 💀🪦

I’m also honestly obsessed with all of his love scenes in The Ledge because Gavin is such an underrated gem!! 🥹💎 I tried to find good gifs and this is one of my faves of them. There’s such a tenderness in Gavin’s lovemaking that’s just all kinds of soft and sweet, and such a contrast to the kiss above which focused more on primal heat — the love behind the kiss below was pure and heartfelt and the fact that Charlie pulls off both so flawlessly is a fucking god-tier feat. The way his lower lip curls in after the first kiss as he dips down for the next one??!? And the slow sensuous brush of his hair swept across her forehead has me undone ughhh he is simply perfection 😩

This kiss from Papillon deserves an honorable mention as well — because fucking hell — can you even imagine feeling his upper lip doing that downright unholy thing to your nose as his tongue darts across your parted lips for just one breath, before he dives in to devour you to death?!! 👅🫦 And note the placement of his thumb too. Charlie’s hands are always on you.

Lastly I think for me these kisses have to be his best of all — his kisses in Deadfall.

I could go on and on and on about what an entire goddamn kink this is. Who does this life-ruining motherfucker even think he is??!?!!!?!!

The way he looks at her — through lashes lowered in the passion of the moment as if nothing else in all the world has ever fucking mattered �� makes me shatter — the way his mouth moves is the sum of all the seven deadly sins — the way he breathes her so heavily in — THAT THING HIS THUMB IS DOING TO HER BOTTOM LIP IN THE LAST ONE is so damn devilishly hot that it has sent me to the deepest ring of hell and then rendered it heaven.

Thank you for the lovely ask bb and I hope that this answers your question!! 😋💖

[il-predestinato]

Ohhhhh that explains why Charles' tag is almost empty for me. 🤣 I thought tumblr broke again. I guess when you have that user blocked already, it's just an empty vacuum in the tag.

how are people allowed to make 100 posts in a row and just spam the tag like that?

[britcision]

Okay just so we’re all on the same page, the Winged Lion/demon is canonically just the semi-anthropomorphic personification of magic trying to be accessible to humans

And now it wants things and that’s A Problem

Which means it’s basically just a direct line to Ryoko Kui’s id and free excuse to do absolutely anything she wants to fuck with her little guys

And we all know the changeling mushrooms 10000% exist because she wanted to canonically do a “hey here is Laios as a dwarf! Enjoy Marcille as an ogre!”

Cuz she does so many outfit swaps and class swaps and such with all her parties in the Daydream Hour and gives all the parties changeling boards this is a whole thing

And I choose to believe this is also in world why Laios and his party ran into so many dang changeling mushrooms including walking ones and just showed up once or twice all swapped around for shits and giggles

Because just like Ryoko Kui wanted to draw them all in each others’ physicalities

(And Elf Senshi cried out to the universe and demanded to exist)

The Winged Lion, barely able to influence events but clearly able to affect the dungeon enough to keep Thistle out of the way and slow the Canaries down, also wanted to see what’d happen if Chilchuck was the tank

Cuz listen it’s boring when you’re a book for 1000 years and yeah Laios was its new blorbo and it wanted to test drive him a bit

Anyway also I give you the gift of “if ogre Marcille can happen so can ogre Izutsumi, and also ogre Fleki” Can You Fucking Imagine. I think her familiar would turn into a roc

Cannot believe the ogre versions got left out of all the charts I fucking crave ogre Chilchuck

Also half-foot Lycion turns into a papillon I do make the rules unless Ryoko Kui herself says otherwise

[youremyheaven]

Vedic Astrology Observations:

ive noticed that revati, punarvasu & swati naks are most often associated with the cyberpunk genre/its aesthetics. there are sooo many examples of this:

keanu reeves is a punarvasu stellium and he was in the matrix movies

arnold schwarzenegger is best known for his work in sci-fi/cyberpunk movies, including total recall, the terminator movies, the 6th day etc

aespa is a kpop group known for their cyberpunk aesthetic and futuristic concepts, the 4 members have the following naks: karina is a revati sun, punarvasu moon, giselle is a swati sun/mercury with punarvasu rahu, winter is swati mars with punarvasu rahu , ningning is swati venus (i have a feeling she's revati asc)

gakuryu ishii, the acclaimed cyberpunk filmmaker has punarvasu moon amatyakaraka and revati mars atmakaraka

aditi, the mother goddess is the creator, when we log on, we enter a different reality. revati is consciousness itself (the nature of which is questioned often in science fiction+ cyber punk works of art) swati is maya or illusion. this explains why these naks are so intricately linked to these themes.

2. 🦋 I've noticed that although butterflies are most commonly associated with punarvasu, sooo many sidereal pisces folks (Revati + UBP) are drawn to butterfly imagery. There are a ton of examples but here's a short thread:

Erika Sawajiri has Revati sun + UBP moon. This movie itself features heavy butterfly imagery 🦋

Here's Salma Hayek, a UBP moon with temporary butterfly tattoos + wearing a butterfly top

Salma was in a movie called In the Time of the Butterflies where she played 1/2 of a duo of sisters called "Butterflies" along with Lumi Cavazos who has Revati Saturn as her atmakaraka and Rahu in UBP

Bella Hadid has UBP Ketu & here's her with 2 separate butterfly bday cakes 🍰🦋. Anyone who knows her knows how obsessed with butterflies she is lol

Woosung has Revati Moon & Venus and his debut EP is literally called "Moth" 😭his album cover features butterflies too but for some reason I can't upload it :(

a little bit of a stretch but Jackson Wang is UBP sun + Revati venus & he has a song called "Papillon" (French for butterfly🦋 👀)

3. i think vishaka's invented siren eyes

both beyonce & laura prepon have vishaka moons (there are a million other examples including jennie from blackpink but im too tired to attach pix ya'll)

4. a lot of writers who employ the stream of consciousness technique have the same combination of naks or naks that fell under the same planet.

Virginia Woolf was Shravana sun, Uttara Ashada venus, Mrigashira mars with ketu in Rohini (also Rohini asc)

James Joyce was Shravana sun & venus, Pushya moon, Shatabhisha mercury, Mrigashira mars with ketu in Rohini

(These two have their bdays super close together and its interesting how they are both considered the figureheads of this style of writing).

Anton Chekhov had Shravana sun & rahu, Revati moon, Uttara Ashada mercury & Shatabhisha venus

Literally 3 Shravana sun natives

William Faulkner had Hasta sun, Uttaraphalguni moon & mercury, Pushya ketu and was Ardra asc

Leo Tolstoy was also Uttaraphalguni moon & mercury, Pushya venus & saturn with Revati ketu and was Ardra asc

These two have the same moon, mercury & rising sign

Henry James was Aswini sun, Revati mercury, ketu in Ardra & Magha asc

Marcel Proust was Aswini moon & asc, Magha venus and Ardra rahu.

Two Aswini natives to the mix

As we can see there's a strong Moon, Sun & Nodal influence. I believe having nodal signs can make an individual very imaginative + Moon influence gives grounding to the endless nodal imagination.

5. Punarvasu natives have a habit of returning to the same themes in their works over and over again. I attribute this to the "boundless" nature of this nakshatra and its cyclic nature.

Makoto Shinkai has Punarvasu Ketu and his movies can be said to be interconnected, and have a similar over arching theme and take place in the same spiritual universe.

Frida Kahlo who has a Punarvasu stellium (sun, jupiter & rahu) literally drew herself over and over again

Gustav Klimt who has Punarvasu sun atmakaraka repeatedly used the same gold motif across many of his paintings. Jupiter is associated with the color yellow/lead and it features prominently in most of Klimt's work <3

6. serpent yoni ladies have the most distinct look. you can tell just by their eyes

Natalie Portman has Mrigashira sun

Myrna Loy has Ashlesha sun & Mrigashira venus darakaraka (I know Ashlesha does not have serpent yoni but naks associated with Nagas often have serpentine physicality)

Look at how serpentine their eyes look!! There are mannyyyy more examples ofc. I'll make another post about it sometime.

That's it for now folks<3

Astruc’s bullshittery: Debunking his tweets

Astruc’s tweets and claims about Felix is something I would never understand. He contradicts himself, for what? To make people hate Felix?

Case 1:

Sure he isn’t referring directly to this “version”. But when the PV was made, the concept of polar opposites was established, even shown through the early storyboards with Chat Noir presenting Ladybug with candles. It may not be a curse here yet, but it shows that Chat Noir was always meant to genuinely love Ladybug.

So it proves that the concept of Felix pretending to love Ladybug is a very “one-off” idea. Heck, even in the PV, you can see Felix being quite eager to transform. Does he look cursed to you?

Lastly, the existence of the 2012 bible is evidence that it’s possible to make Felix/ Chat Noir have an ulterior motive behind being flirtatious yet at the same time not moving away from his love for Ladybug.

Case 2:

In what way is this mysterious and evil? Again, even though Felix has the “Adrien” name in the bible, it’s obvious that Astruc is separating Felix (suit wearing, dark personality boy) with Adrien (the canon one).

It is true that Felix may be a bit evil, with that one singular image of him dropping an apple on Marinette’s head. But it’s a super early concept that isn’t present in the bibles (further supported by the fact they are shown to be able to use powers without transformation, and Felix being a pure misfortune manipulator.), meaning the idea didn’t reach that far into pre production.

That version of Felix is also shown more in Quantic Kids concepts, and even then, he was shown being slightly affectionate towards Marinette (cue that image of him smiling at her).

Instead of mysterious and evil, Felix had been long moulded more into someone who is driven, confident and dark (sarcastic). There’s way more art and descriptions depicting him that way.

Astruc even contradicts himself here when he says he cannot imagine Marinette liking Felix because it’s so clearly stated here why she does.

Not only that, Felix is written to have a soft side which he doesn’t show others. He even has fondness towards Marinette. But he doesn’t allow himself to fall in love. This means he actually sees himself falling for her if he gets distracted.

Overall, Felix might have underwent a very rough patch with him being mysterious and evil like what Astruc says (though in the fandom this version is often referred to as Nathan), but the development of his character shows that there was a lot of focus on improving Felix.

The time where Felix officially “became” Adrien is a few months after the earliest bible we have, where you can see the most changes being applied to the “Adrien” name. He doesn’t have a picture attached to the description (showing how they were still coming up with his design), he’s Papillon’s son, and has the goal of wanting to fit in rather than healing his leg. This is “Adrien” and no longer “Felix”.

Based on what Astruc said, he came up with “Adrien” because blah blah blah, but the Felix we’re seeing in the earliest bible is the same Felix he was dealing with before he came up with “Adrien”. Which, in my opinion, had quite a bit of depth to him that could be written well.

So is Astruc just straight up lying/ exaggerating Felix’s development and character in order to justify his decision to replace him with Adrien?

Adrien is significantly easier to write about as he’s more one dimensional, whereas Felix has a lot more inner conflict happening.

Maybe that’s why Astruc said: “Try writing Felix for 72 episodes”. He’s admitting to being a bad writer :/

[chlodriendump]

My imagination's current obsession: Golden Trio Treasure Hunters AU (of course there's Chlodrien in this)

My brain can't come up with a good way to summarize this now, but basically:

Adrien - archeologist

Chloe - museum curator

Felix - history professor

On one of Adrien's expeditions, he encounters familiar symbols and discovers that it was part of his late father's research about "The Miraculous" which is said to have magical properties, granting whoever holds it a wish.

It was all believed to be a myth, but Gabriel became obsessed in order to save his wife. Feeling neglected as a child, Adrien resented him for this; more so when it appears Gabriel had killed himself. Soon after, Emilie had passed away from her sickness.

Wanting to be a hero while redeeming his family name, he persuades Chloe and Felix to join him on a quest to find The Miraculous, but a selfish thought to bring back his parents remains at the back of his mind.

When the trio all decide to investigate further, they encounter Papillon, a military group in search of ancient artifacts including The Miraculous. They used to do it only for the money it brought, but now they have a chance to make the world "better."

They also meet Wang Fu, a descendant of one of the guardians of The Miraculous, who warn them against the dangers of using it.

With new enemies willing to kill them in exchange for the artifact, things just got a whole lot complicated.

[tricksterly-conduct]

Here is the next design I worked on for my Miraculous Racers au; Papillon.

Yapping under the cut.

So Papillon's entire look is heavily based around Thierry Mugler's spring 1997 collection. She also has the little butterfly tongue neck tattoo, but that's just me thinking it would be cute and that represents the butterfly mouth but also Noroo’s head swirl. And her butterfly wings are based off of milkweed butterflies cause they eat their own caterpillars.

I want her to be like a mix of my favorite childhood villains; Rita Repulsa, Queen Nehelenia, and Queen Beryl. So her goals are similar in that she straight up wants to rule the universe. She uses the butterfly miraculous to brainwash people and is trying to get her hands on the miraculous to make sure there's no way she can be stopped.

I figure that she rides around in some sort of town car-esque space vehicle and has a driver and stuff. Then, when she gets serious, she pushes her driver out of the car and drives it herself like Cruella De Vil.

So I imagine the rose petals of her dress are a purple velvet and her wings are made of satin. Usually butterfly wings would have the velvet texture but i think it’s important for her wings to shine and look light weight. The dress is velvet because it needs more weight because it’s the butterfly body and roses are surprisingly heavy looking, but also i like how butterflies and moths have those fuzzy bodies.

And she has layered sleeves that match the gloves to give a more bug like appearance. Her shoes and tights are less important cause the attention must be focused on her wings first, then the body of the dress. And for proper movability, and cause she’s a magical girl, her wings fold down like a bustle or train. So if she needs to sit in her car. Hawkmoth has such a baby cane, I wanted Papillon to have a cane that looks like she could crack someone’s skull with it. Like, if she fights, she’s actively using it like a spiked mace. I also want death to be an option. So she does eventually kill someone, but that character comes in later.

[meganechan05]

Cover Album

I really wanted to draw Rittan in the "Tell Your World" outfit and I can do nothing but imagine Yanma and Himeno making a Rittan voice bank that sells like hot cakes after the Idol Episode 🤣🤣

Imagine how funny it would be if Rita rammed God Papillon into Peta Castle like so:

Yanma: WHAT THE FCK, JUDGE?!?!

Rita: WHO AUTHORIZED THE USE OF MY VOICE?!

Yanma: ...Oh, you heard it- FCK-!

*Rita tackles him into a chokehold*

Rita: *in the most menacing voice ever* Remove it. NOW.

Yanma: I would but it's Ishabana's jurisdiction...! (I can't breathe...!)

*in Ishabana*

Himeno: *setting up a trap for Rita to fall into* I wonder if Rita heard it yet~ :*(〃∇〃人)*:

Rita: HIMENO MARIE RAN, WHEN I FUCKING GET MY HANDS ON YOU-!

[pcktknife]

how do you pronounce vivillon im curious.. i always read it as vivi-yon to rhyme with papillon but i recently heard someone say vivill-on which is probably more intuitive for a lot of people :0

i would pronounce it like papillon! i imagine that was the intention with the name lol

[gojo-mochi]

What One Piece’s Characters would smell like and Parfums they use

A/N: Let’s all pretend that everyone showers regularly or something alright

Luffy:

Top Notes: Aquozone, Patchouli, and Bergamot.

Middle Notes: Sandalwood, Oak, and Green Mandarin,

Base Notes: Amber, Cedar, Pinetree, Leather, and Seaweed.

This man was born for the sea. So, as it should be, his scent somewhat matches that of the sea herself, but is mixed with the alluring wind of forests. Luffy is usually the first one to jump off the ship and run amok on a new island, barreling through dense thickets and tumbling across wet patches of dirt. The sea wind gently caresses his hair as the woods whispered their names onto his clothes. If you were one of the lucky people to be granted a hug by this rubber-man, you would first notice how his hair smells just like the sea air, salty and fresh, and somehow refreshing… just like his signature smile. As you lean in closer, the scent flows into something earthly. Sunkissed leather mixed with the tingles of pinecones and evergreen gives you a warm feeling inside that you can never forget.

Parfums I associate with Luffy: Kenzo Homme by Kenzo, No. 19 by Sukimuki, and Malbec Ultra Bleu by O Boticário.

 Zoro:

Top Notes: Olibanum, White Musk, Myrrh, and a bit of cleaner/acetone.

Middle notes: Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, and Yuzu.

Base notes: Oud, Frankincense, and Jasmine.

No, he doesn’t smell like moss, alright. (No matter what a certain Curly-eyebrow(ed?) Cook would say). I would say his scent doesn’t hit with most folks at first glance (Just like his scary resting bitch-face). The first whiff you get when facing Zoro is the somewhat bitter and sour smell of his sword polish. When you have three swords to take care of, you must have to use a lot of polish to keep them all pristine. Chances are that the smell will rub off on you as well. Once you get used to the polish(?) (cleaner?) smell, you’ll find that it swirls into alternate hues of floral and woodsy. You’ll find yourself getting lost in this confusing stream of different scents with floral, fruity, and woodsy overlays, slowly pushing that bitter scent(s?) out. Only then will you finally get to see what hides underneath all that frowning and indifference.

A/N: I chose the floral and fruity notes since Zoro likes to drink sake a lot! And Sake is usually brewed with both flowers and fruits ૮꒰ ིྀ ⍝ ⍝ ꒱ა!!

Parfums I associate with Zoro: Haxan by Parfum Prissana, Anubis by Papillon Artisan, and Macaque – Yuzu Edition by Zoologist (A/N: A fav!!).

Nami:

Top Notes: Tangerine, Mikan (A/N: Japanese Orange/ The Fruit that Bell-mère grew!, Peach, and Sorbet.

Middle Notes: Candle Wax and Orange Blossom

Base Notes: Ink, Tea, and Honeysuckle.

As a former resident of Cocoyashi Village, the sweet, tangy fragrance of tangerine(s?) and mikan(s?) would follow her everywhere, even if she didn’t end up bringing some of the fruit trees on board. Smooth, charming, and fruity, these are the first thoughts that pop up in a stranger’s head when face to face with this orange-hair(ed?) cutie.  And they wouldn’t be wrong! Whereas those who are closer to this navigator will find her aura soothes into something comforting and homely. I imagine that Nami likes to work into the late nights or early mornings on her maps, surrounded by empty ink pots, hand stained by ink, candles almost melted to the base, and a cup of warm tea that Sanji keeps on refilling while gently trying to get her to rest. I also imagine that Nami keeps a half-empty bottle of Mikan based perfume that Bell-mère once made; it’s not the best or longest lasting perfume, but it smells like home, and that’s enough for her.

Parfums I associate with Nami: Paradisi by Jorum Studio, Sorbetto by Brocard, and Figues & Argumes by Lancôme

Usopp:

Top Notes: Gunpowder (A/N: Yes there are parfums that smell like gunpowder), Orchids, and White flowers.

Middle Notes: Leather, Nettle, and Galbanum.

Base Notes: Vetiver, Violet leaf, and Patchouli.

It hard to pinpoint what exactly “God” Usopp would smell like, though here I will try my best to explain my thoughts on it. As an almighty sniper and crafter, gunpowder and oil would be the main scents you’d get from him. The next whiff, however, will confuse most as they come across vibrant splashes of greenery among (us) a bundle of flowers. Having  his own garden on the Sunny where he grows his ‘Pop Green’ ammo and having trained on the Boin Archipelago, it would make sense that the plants he takes care of will rub off on him in some way. It has a much heavier scent, leaning more on forest vibes than the lighter and fruitier greens that Nami has. I imagine he talks to Nami and Robin while gardening and trade tips between the three of them.

Parfums I associate with Usopp: Forest Lungs by The Nue, Amour Nocturne by L’Artisan, and Nefertiti by Maher Olfactive.

Sanji:

Top Notes: Cigarettes, Spices, and Neroli.

Middle Notes: Black Tea, Pink Pepper, and Musk.

Base Notes: Labdanum, and Tonka Bean.

Sanji would tend to stay away from strong smelling parfums or colognes when working in the kitchen, as smell is a huge part of tasting food. On a daily basis, Sanji would smell like cigarette smoke, the numerous spices he had in the kitchen, and sort of lemony. When he’s off the job, he picks parfums that would at the very least leave a long-lasting impression on whoever he’s trying to swoon that day. Deep and heavy, but not uses overbearing. The subtle savor of freshly brewed black tea that Sanji made cling to his form was followed by a whiff of something earthy and slightly sweet. It makes you yearn for a closer sniff, to fully envelop yourself in this soothing scent.

Parfums I associate with Sanji: Club De Nuit BY Armaf, Royal Oud by Creed, and Eau De Citron Noir by Hermès.

Chopper:

Top Notes: Cotton Candy, Sugar, and Vanilla.

Middle Notes: White Musk, Lavender, and Eucalyptus.

Base Notes: Vetiver, Berries, and Cedarwoods.

Oh, sweet, sweet, Chopper, of course this adorable little guy would smell like the fluffy, sugary confection known as ‘Cotton Candy’. For the first whiff anyway, as this little Reindeer always has his nose on the lookout for sweets. On any island that the Straw Hats dock on to make a supply run, someone will get this little guy a snack or two. Whether it be Franky offering his little bro this cool new soda he came across or Zoro and Sanji both coming in with cotton candy in hand, arguing that Chopper should take theirs over the other (He takes both anyway). Chopper is always munching on something sweet that will ultimately smear all over the fur on his face.

Robin will routinely help him out by dabbing his face with a wet cloth. So, underneath the first honeyed layer, you’ll get a more herby and still slightly sweet smell emerging. His natural animalistic scent is mixed in with the smell of all the herbs in the medicine he makes. It is not as bitter or antiseptic smelling as you think; it is more akin to walking through a very clean forest path.

Parfums I associate with Chopper: Foxcroft Fairgrounds by Solstices Scents, Sun Men by Jil Sander, and Zucchero Filato by Kyse.

Chapter 01: So it Begins

It was becoming unbearingly obvious to her by now (July the 1st), that this year was not turning out like everybody hoped for. To begin with, she never in her most wild dreams imagined she would be in Gotham City during summer vacation.

This year had started fine for Marinette and her friends (such a presumptuous thing to say way too early into the new year). 

Marinette was quickly proved wrong back in February when everything started to go downhill. It was a couple of days before Saint Valentine’s Day, at night, it was getting close to golden hour and instead of being asleep she was finishing the embroidering of a commission.

At some point, Plagg phased into her room yelling: “Pigtails! Pigtails!” he had shouted frantically,  “we need you, hurry. You’ve gotta see my kit! Hurry.”

Right there, she dropped everything without thinking twice, transformed into Ladybug, and followed Plagg to wherever her partner was. Knowing well the outcome of what would happen as soon as they met with Chat Noir. 

Not much time later, they found Adrien crouched in an obscure alley,  puking blood and a dark gooey matter. The evidence of a curse. The author of such a thing couldn’t be other than Le Papillon.

She sent a letter to her family in Shanghai about the situation, since Master Fu was retired, and her family (in the magic business) was well-known for their magicians specialized in healing. It was only a matter of waiting or so Marinette thought. Her great-grandmother surely would call her anytime soon.

During the first weeks, Marinette foolishly thought it was because they had a bigger emergency that required all of their attention. But the days passed and then the weeks turned into a month, and another, and then, it was May.

According to her cousin, in the business, the magical business there were some troubles with some partners. Which was why her family was being so quiet.

So, as a summary, it didn’t matter to any of them that Paris was constantly continuously spiraling away from the little grasp she had or that their young relative was awful with that type of magic despite being the champion of the Goddess of Creation.

Back at the beginning of March, a box appeared in her room. It had the seal of the family, a even smaller box with a bunch of ingredients (in an even smaller box), a thin book with edible spells, and a note that read:

LanYing

In the book you will find numerous potions, to help the champion of the Black Cat Kwami, as well as instructions to follow. 

There was no explanation given, and it was barely something yet Marinette made the best out of it. 

That’s when the news about the Wayne Gala started to sound, first from Chloé who started to boast in the school about going with her mom to the gala.  

Jagged Stone, the rockstar that proclaimed himself her uncle, delivered an invitation to a concert he was to hold in Gotham City, and to the gala as well. He said the Bruce Wayne was curious about meeting Marinette. Who, according to her uncle, was the only sensible person around his age and of course worth the time back in his hometown.

The events were going to take two weeks between each of them, meaning, she would be losing half her summer vacations in Gotham City and not  spending it in Shanghai like usual.

Her great-grandmother agreed to let her go.

Adrien proposed a plan to ask for help in Gotham, after he noticed that they both were going to Gotham City. Seeing that the Bat Clan were the local vigilantes, they could ask them to help with detective work. 

Even though she had almost lost hope when it came to getting help with the curse, at last her great-grandmother did something for her. Adrien was to come to the residency in Shanghai, to receive some kind of treatment under the pretext of visiting his cousin.

.

And so four months had gone by, the commissions were finished and delivered, and the items for the auction as well. 

Before leaving Paris, Marinette was assigned a mission alongside Kim.

At the moment, now June, she was cursing at herself about wearing a sleeveless knitted vest as a top. Fate was being such a pain as of lately, it decided to make her feel helpless in every situation she put up with. 

Her uncle Jagged was received by a mob of fans, which on its own was odd considering that the date of his arrival wasn’t made public. Or that Jagged’s security didn’t do a fine job when they dealt with this mob.

Night was starting to fall down in Bristol, her phone was dead,  and Marinette had no phone charger on her.

So, while Marinette was sure she was somewhere in Bristol. That place wasn’t  even close to the airport because instead of staying put in the airport, she tried to run after the limousine that was taking Jagged, Penny, Luka, and Juleka away from her.

Thanks to that, she wasn’t sure her identity as MDC was safe for much longer. If only she hadn’t kept so adamant on it, she would be together with them and no: cold, lost, tired, and hungry.

The air was terribly chilly, and the vest she was wearing didn’t help a bit.

Luckily, she found a place that provided rest to her exhausted body, a small cafè with a warm and creamy color palette.

“So, what’s next?” Tikki pointed her spoon at her. Once they settled down, 

They were in the less lit area of the place, being seen wasn’t a worry for them.

“I could ask for a phone?” Marinette took a sip of her lemonade, “I have my sketchbook with me, and contact info too.”

“Unless you want to spend the night outside, yes, you should.”

Marinette stuck her tongue out at the deity.

Competitiveness was deeply ingrained into her and not even talking with a goddess bound to her pocket-size form could stop her from having the last word.

Tikki  rolled her eyes but didn’t complain about it, she still had half of her cheesecake  to finish.

Eventually, after Marinette had found enough courage to ask the waiter for a phone, she called her uncle Jagged. It was only a matter of waiting ‘til somebody came for her.

Meanwhile, she asked for another slice of pay, to kill the time and her anxiety if possible.

The bell rang. It was a boy with teal highlights, Luka was accompanied by another boy who stood  outside of the café, then he went through the door.

“Marinette?” he asked.

She was saved from sleeping in the streets of Gotham.

Marinette got back to her feet, too quickly to the point of almost kissing the ground in the process.  Her face burned with embarrassment and she dusted her jeans off.

The reeling of an aura caught her attention, whoever it belonged to was outside so it must be from the boy that came in with Luka.

“ Hi ,” she said.

It wasn’t much of a surprise when she received a hug from her cousin, the worry radiated off of him.

“ How did you even get here ?” Luka started to inspect her.

Marinette scoffed, “ I’ve probably run out of luck for the week, ” she answered instead of replying to his question.

Luka smiled at her, pleased that she  looked fine and let go of the embrace.

“Let’s get out.” Luka said, “Need a hand with your things?”

Marinette’s brain was running wild because of the boy behind Luka. Of course the mission wasn’t going to be her only worry during this trip. 

She shook her head, and took her purse to follow Luka.

It was weirding her out, his presence was familiar. It reminded her of the damp evenings in her second home, of the color green, of their visits, and of the uncomfortable feeling of the prickling under her skin they caused.

It was different. It could represent danger though, if he knows who she is.

The bell rang once more as they crossed the door.

He looked about her age, half a head shorter than Luka,  his hair was dark, brown skin, and unnatural green eyes. A relative of them, most likely.

In summary, he was pretty cute.

“So, Damian, this is Marinette. Since my dad said he’s her uncle she’s my cousin,” Luka started to introduce them, “and Mari, this is Damian. He’s the one that bit my arm last time I visited.”

That earned a glare and a punch on the arm from Damian, and the soft mumbles ‘ow, ow, yeah I deserved that.’

“Huh? Ah, that was you?” Marinette chuckled. 

Damian rolled his eyes, and crossed his arms,“he did deserve to be bitten.”

“Never said he didn’t. He was probably being really annoying or something.”

“Okay, we should tell everyone that we picked up Marinette,” Luka said.

Damian wordlessly took his phone out to show off his screen, with a smug smirk, “beat you to it.”

In retaliation, Luka showed him the middle finger.

“Shouldn’t we get going?” Marinette asked hesitantly.

Both boys nodded, Damian started to lead them to wherever the car was parked, according to the boy  it was a reasonable walking distance from them. Unfortunately, the weather had only gotten colder as the sun went down.

For Marinette the chilly wind was starting to permeate into her bones. 

“Did you bring sweaters for this trip?” Damian asked.

Marinette blinked. “I did. I just didn’t think of having one with me because my plans were to sleep until dinner. Why?”

“Because.”

She heard the sound of the fabric of Damian’s jacket rustle a little as they kept walking  on the sidewalk, of course she didn’t think much about it until it was thrown over her, “don’t take it off. You must be freezing.”

Luka chuckled, earning the startled stare of one Marinette and the deep scowl of one Damian. 

“What?” Luka grinned wider.

Damian glared at him, “let’s just hurry.”

💛💛💛

Juleka and Damian’s friend, Jon, were waiting for them at the park. It was poorly illuminated, there were no people to be seen around. Damian took the remote key out of one of his pockets, and unlocked the doors.

Juleka glued herself to Marinette’s side, “I’m glad you’re okay. Alya will kill me if something happens to you.” Juleka said half-jokingly.

Marinette started to giggle.

“Alya? Don’t be silly, she can’t .”  Marinette said frowning yet the mental image of her best friend strangling Juleka made her smile,  “but that won't stop her from trying. Let's hope Lady Wi-fi doesn't happen.”

Luka huffed at that, “only if  Nino and Kim don’t try first.”

“Probably. Oh hey, you must be Damian’s friend Jonathan?” she turned  her face to see the purple eyed teen.

“Yeah, his best friend, call me Jon please. Nice to meet you and  I’m glad you’re okay Marinette,” he smiled at her.

“Thanks!”

The rest of the trip to the manor went on swiftly, small talk was almost futile as everyone —namely, the Parisians — was too worn out. Marinette and Juleka fell asleep on their way and so did Jon after them. 

“So, what prompted you to lend Mari your jacket?” Luka asked, eyes glued on his phone.

“TT.” was all Damian replied.

“Okay.”
