BREAKING NEWS: Ladybug and Chat Noir’s identities got exposed during an accident!! (not clickbait)

many thanks to @kasienda for beta reading! <3

Lowkey? Like Hell (Teen, 1,193 words)

One thing you need to understand about Marinette and Adrien Dupain-Cheng is that they are not and have never been, what the kids call, "lowkey".

It all started back in lycée. They danced around each other like a pair of birds of paradise, engrossed in a ridiculous and flashy—though admittedly rather intricate and entertaining—mating ritual. You see, in the long history of embarrassing and debilitating crushes, Marinette Dupain-Cheng had the most embarrassing and debilitating crush on her classmate, Adrien Dupain-Cheng (formerly known as Adrien Agreste. However, as I'm sure that last name gives all of you nightmares of the highest order as well, we shall not mention it on the same page with Adrien ever again.) So, Marinette's embarrassing and debilitating crush would have been all well and good and reciprocated, if Adrien hadn’t also happened to be Chat Noir—Paris' renowned darling and superhero—in his tumultuous free-time; and also hadn’t happened to fall embarrassingly, if not debilitatingly, head over heels in love with his superhero partner, the not less awesome Ladybug. 

As we all know, Ladybug is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, so you can imagine the kind of stress these very small and oblivious teenagers have been under.

When Everything Comes Crashing Down

When people describe the end of the world, there's normally a moment of profound silence that punctuates it, when the world slows and everyone stops and takes in the fact that nothing will ever be the same. It wasn’t like that. Ladybug was Marinette. And now the whole world knew. --- When Ladybug's identity is revealed to the world, Marinette is left to pick up the pieces, terrified that Hawkmoth finally has the upper-hand. Luckily her family, friends, and a certain black cat are there to help.

I’m now watching Despicable Me again and I just gotta say, who could ever have predicted that the Minions would be the popular supporting critters from this movie and not Gru’s toothy hairy dog thing that I forgot he even had? All of my cash would have been on that thing.

Scenario for a Batman Identity Reveal™-

Takes place before Batman has revealed his identity. The rest of the JL know each other's identities, except Batman's. They've just received news of a threat against Bruce Wayne.

Maybe a rogue or an intergalactic enemy or someone has found out that Bruce Wayne funds a majority of the League and thinks that killing him will severely weaken it. Fair enough, I mean it's easier to kill a civilian known to be an idiot as compared to the greatest heroes, right?

So now obviously the JL feel obligated to protect him. They don't particularly want to do it, and usually they'd just set up police protection, but everyone knows how corrupt Gotham police are, and Wayne is being targeted bc of them. They'd ask Batman, but he only comes out at night and has publicly expressed disdain for Bruce. So they've got to do it themselves.

They take it in shifts, and while Wayne seems very welcoming on the outside, it's a little obvious that he doesn't want them poking around his house. In addition, the first night they were on shift, Batman gave them a very strict warning about what is and isn't allowed in his city. He tried to get them to leave, but they overruled him.

At first, Bruce spends all his time acting like an air headed idiot, flirting with everyone that tries to talk to him and refusing to cooperate bc he doesn't believe the threat. 'Coincidently', he's always in the room every time one of them try to talk to talk to any of his children.

Then as time passes, he lets his guard down. They start to see a gentle, kind, Bruce Wayne whose children are his entire world, not token trophies. He speaks in a soft voice, one made out of cotton and clouds. He cares about the underprivileged in Gotham and genuinely works to make life better for them. He's smart and actually involved in his company. He's also incredibly slippery and tries very very hard to lose their tail at all times. The only reason they can keep up with him at all is because most of them have special powers (and because he's constrained by the fact that none of them know his identity).

One day, while they're trying to look for him after he's lost them yet again, he gets kidnapped. The entire JL rushes to find him and rescue him before the person they've come to honestly respect and enjoy the company of gets murdered for trying to help them. They search for and reach the place he's being held after 2 days, only to find him tying up the criminals- who definitely all have broken bones- surrounded by the horde of younger Gotham vigilantes.

He turns to look at them and growls, "You're late. Civilian rescue time needs to be much shorter, these people weren't even experienced kidnappers. You're lucky it was me they were after otherwise you'd have found a corpse. We're running drills back at the watchtower."

They're all shocked because... that's Batman's voice?? Coming from the richest man alive, known playboy, not so known gentle father, BRUCE WAYNE??? BATMAN HASN'T EVEN BEEN OFF DUTY SINCE THEY BECAME BRUCE BODYGUARDS????

Turns out his children all ganged up on him and forced him to reveal his identity, especially since the JL had become friends with him both inside and outside the mask.

Watching Isaiah Bradley's mind control play out in CABNW: this is literally why Bucky kept him a goddamn secret even from Steve, after Isaiah had to fake his death to escape and live in some semblance of peace, and publicizing him without asking his permission first was a fucking dangerous thing to do to the poor man's safety what the hell were the tfawts writers thinking

The Sokovia Accords will force all enchanted people to register and be monitored by the government. Not only would the enchanted person's name be written down but most likely their power and how to restrain or weaken them if needed.

This means that a government person can easily take the list and sell it to individual people or force an enchanted person to do things for them. The list can also be leaked on purpose or by accident and a bunch of enchanted people would be put in danger by both the public and people who would like to use them.

This is a big problem for the Vigilantes who hide their identities to keep their families and loved ones safe. The civilians who have been minding their own business and probably don't have any experience fighting.

It's especially a problem for Danny, as he never had to keep his identity a secret from his ghost villains, he keeps his identity from the humans that could what to recreate his accident to gain power.

January is My Favorite Time of Year. (Poem??? Idk)

(Sorry this kinda sucks!)

January is my favorite time of year,

And though such opinion may sound queer,

When it comes around that time of year,

There are no big holidays left to fear.

Can it be real?

Can it be true?

The holiday season over

For me and you?

Well lucky for me,

As when the cold December winter falls,

My mixed soul freezes,

It splits its identity

Into different pieces.

Nothing to celebrate,

Just to watch, and

Just to buy.

Just another year

Before you die.

But hey

It’s another year you survived

It’s another year you tried

Now it’s time for 2024 to peacefully die.

Although to some

The new year may see glum,

Though the only thing on its mind is harm

We tried,

And survived last year.

We can do it again.

Now the snow with now no superficial meaning

Welcomes me with open arms

And though life may not seem that fun,

Until next time,

My identity melts back into one.

January is my favorite time of year,

And though such opinion may sound queer,

When it comes around that time of year,

There are no big holidays left to fear.

Lovely way to congratulate our man.

Look at these lovebirds on vacation! Look at how relaxed and confident Cillian is. And the casual affection is adorable.

actually i’m having zhongli brainrot thanks to the lantern rite’s banquet quest (/´△`＼) but i think it’d be silly to fluster him a little, maybe (i can’t bear the thought of him)

Obviously a public Batman identity reveal is huge and will have a massive impact on Gotham, but I like to think about the short list of Bruce Wayne’s employees who would go absolutely fucking bonkers when they find out that their employer was literally Batman. 

This list includes but is not limited to:

bodyguards/personal security (what do you MEAN we were protecting you and you knew jiu jitsu the whole time?)

any medical personnel who treated him or his family in the last ten years (missed some pretty obvious signs, in hindsight)

the guy who taught Bruce Wayne how to send Board materials at WE because he “didn’t know how” (he organizes the literal Justice League)

drivers/pilots/etc who found out that not only can Bruce Wayne actually drive shift after all, he’s also able to fly spaceships??
