SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO What's going on with Chloe in your au? Like you said that you would explain if it won on that one poll you did. Chloe redemption? Friendships? Love interests? I want the TEAA

Well thanks for asking anon that wasn't a purposeful placement just so I could easily make a post about JUST THIS TOPIC

The poll I'm referring to is right here

@anxresi you seemed pretty invested in seeing chloe win so I'm tagging you in case you wanted to read 👉👈

I'm just going to do this lightning round style, the more I talk means the more I'm indulging in minor spoilers for the fic so be warned.

Also!

Everyone following this au might want to go check that out :)

Yes, I'm giving Chloe a redemption arc. Though, it doesn't fully come into play until Season 2 (at least from what I have planned).

No, she doesn't avoid consequences as easily as she did in canon. Like, really doesn't. Miraculous consequences :3

Her and her family? Love-hate relationship, they use each other to get what they want. Chloe acts like it doesn't hurt her. Whatever. It's not like she doesn't do the same so it's fine. She's fine.

Her and Marinette? Complicated. Don't ask either of them about it, they don't want to talk about it. Please don't ask.

Her and Adrien? She thinks of him as a brother that she cares for a lot. He isn't actually arm candy unless he's arm candy in specific circumstances. Tho ngl she kinda wants to barf when people think "adrikins" is said in a romantic way rather than a teasing way

Does Adrien put up with her bullshit? Not for very long. It's... a bit of a wake up call.

Does Sabrina put up with h- she's actually not in this au. Or... the same class ig. So far I'm not planning on using her in the story

CHLOGAMI?????????????????? We'll get there when we get there!

This part is more spoilers spoilers: In the beginning they really don't like each other. It takes a bit before they realize their similarities and kinda like each other. Just a teeny bit. Nathaniel and Marc have to put up with them as they try to make the club, Nathaniel and Chloe founded, work.

Chloe is one of the most influential people that is completely on board with Ladybelle (Ladybug but she changed her name. I'll explain later why Ladybelle and it's not because she thought "Lady Beautiful") in this au. Cause in this universe, people are more hesitant to the new vigilantes in town. Other than Alya, Chloe is pretty smitten with Ladybelle (and totally thinks the name is meant to be Lady Beautiful).

Adrien's love of heroes rubbed off on her while growing up and she's pretty embarrassed at first by her infatuation. Only until Ladybelle did she REALLY be into superheroes. It kinda surprises Adrien. He cries a little inside when she's not as interested in Chat Noir.

Eventually Chloe will get her hands on the bee miraculous.

But that. That is where things go oh so wrong.

I see a lot of people in the Mouthwashing tag frequently listing 'keeping Curly alive' in the list of crimes Jimmy has done, implying or sometimes outright saying that not mercy-killing Curly was a cruel and unusual act...and would like to caution against that.

There's a long history of abled people deciding someone's quality of life is too horrible to merit letting them live (usually to nonverbal or otherwise 'low functioning' people lacking a clear means to communicate) and condoning the murder of disabled people under the guise of kindness. Curly is an extreme example, and one could argue he might prefer to be 'put out of his misery,' but it's important to note that we don't know, no one asks, and there's no attempt to communicate either which way.

How extreme pain and 'low quality of life' are handled are very nuanced and complicated topics, but you can never decide for someone else what kind of life isn't 'worth living.' Curly is obviously a videogame character, but these attitudes can and do affect the lives of real people & are worth being aware of.

the way tattoo is so rough around the edges and has no idea what to do when faced with aran's overflowing emotions and tears (even the fake ones) but whatever gentleness he possess, even if it might not look like much to others, he's always willing to give

Being a tmbg fan feels like losing your mind.. like wdym this band has like a thousand genuinely incredible unique and experimental songs about every topic you can think of + absolutely nothing sketchy in their past + is inordinately kind to their fans + offers their music (including rarities) with shocking generosity + seemingly has contributed music to basically every piece of iconic media ever to the point that their lyrics are referenced frequently by non-fans. but nobody seems to care about them or acknowledge their contributions to alt rock outside of a tight-knit fanbase. who are frequently dismissed as like "nerdy freaks". hahahahhaha. ha

I see Arcane's marketing is thrusting a lot of blue on Jinx's persona, which is fine, but also a misdirection! I argue that the use of blue on Jinx represents THE IDEA that others have of Jinx rather than representing who Jinx really is. Jinx's true color, the one she paints over those closest to her, the one that represents her is PINK. Jinx is pink!

When we see Jinx in pieces either in or out of show where blue is the predominant color in the palette it's signaling to us the audience that this the Jinx that is perceived by the world around her, which includes Piltover AND Zaun. In this essay I will---

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

anyone else find it a little fucked up that gifsets/edits only get more than 1k notes if they’re concerning a brand new piece of media (film/tv episode/trailer) and if the edit is posted within like 10 minutes of said media releasing to the public??? and if it’s not, it’s basically ignored and dies or takes days/weeks to amass notes??? so most people will only deem creators “worthy” of a like/reblog to spread an edit around if it’s only relevant to whatever brand new thing has released, and if you’re even like a week late that’s not good enough and fuck you <3

Complex feelings about copyright and Disney's appalling ethics aside, it does unsettle me how quickly people jump to make and monetize the most unnerving, depraved content imaginable about characters created for children the second it hits the public domain
