Pride Month is right around the Corner! Yay! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Marinette, Kim, and Nino- The Trio of Transcendenceness... Ness 🏳️‍⚧️

Marinette, Kim, and Nino have been best friends since birth, and do pretty much everything together

If some rando were to look at them, they’d think it’s odd that Marinette likes to wear pink and gaze starry-eyed at dresses in store windows while Kim and Nino like to play with action figures and shop for clothes in the boys’ section

And people swore they saw them get teary-eyed whenever someone said their birth names

Tom and Sabine sort of just knew that Marinette was somewhere on the trans spectrum, and let their so- daughter buy whatever outfits she wanted and grow her hair out

Marinette: I wanna be a princess when I grow up!

Rando: Don’t you mean a prince?

Marinette: No! I’m the Princess of princes!

She officially came out when she was seven

Her parents were supportive. Confused, but supportive. They even made her a three layered cake with Trans flags toppers

She named herself after a princess she read about in a book

Kim and Nino did everything they could to help their sister

Nino gave her the makeup kit he never uses and a bunch of his hair accessories

Kim gave her some clothes he doesn’t like wearing

Whenever someone asks what happened to their friend, [CENSORED]. Kim and Nino say their friend went on a long trip and is never coming back

Kim was second to come out when he was nine

He loved how carefree Marinette looked after she had what he and Nino call her “Gender Awakening”

He was confused about some things though, and asked her to explain how she came to the conclusion that she wasn’t a guy

Marinette: Well, I never liked how people kept calling me by my old name, and whenever I had to wear boy’s clothes, my skin crawled a bit.

Kim: ... I’m trans, I wear pants, deal with it!

His parents were very supportive and his mom even threw a one-woman pride parade in the backyard

Kim: Is mom okay?

Kim’s dad: She’s just happy for you. Now let’s go get you a haircut, young man before you look like a hippie.

In Vietnamese, Kim means gold/metal (A little reference to the gold medals he’s one in sports)

Marinette made him a custom binder that’s red with a gold star on the front

Nino cut his hair and is even learning how to contour so he can do Kim’s makeup to make him look more masculine

Finally, Nino came out when he was ten. He just figured it out on his own like Marinette

Nino: Your daughter’s dead, dudes. I’m taking over her room.

Chris: *Stares in awe* That is... awesome!

His parents supported him wholeheartedly

He chose his name because it’s Spanish for boy

Marinette made him a binder and she and Kim took Nino clothes shopping

Since they’re all best friends, they wanna do everything together

When they were ten, the three of them started taking their hormones

On dysphoria days, they’ll get under a big blanket and snuggle up while watching Disney movies until they fall asleep. Nino and Marinette would sandwich Kim in the middle while he wrapped his arms around them

Sometimes they wear matching hoodies that are a few sizes too big and just hide everything

On their first day of collége, all three of them were dead named in one of their classes since the school didn’t update their names

Word spread. Long story short, Kim and Nino beat up a boy who deadnamed Marinette and asked for “proof”

Their classmates were very supportive and always corrected teachers who accidentally say their dead names during role call

Many guys who had crushes on Marinette offered to beat up or threaten anyone harassing her

Nathaniel (Before meeting Marc) almost framed one of her bullies for murder

The swim team wore gender neutral swimwear so Kim wouldn’t feel like the odd one out until he got his surgery

Guys will always put emphasis on ‘Dude’ whenever talking to Nino

Students offered to stand guard whenever they used the bathroom in case anyone tried anything else

When Alya and Adrien came along, they were all so nervous. Sure, most of the school was pretty tolerant, but what if someone outs them and the new students turn out to be bullies in their own class?!

Once again, they were outed by some asshole Damocles won’t expel for some shit reason

Alya beat the asshole to a pulp (Which caused Nino’s crush on her to start) while Adrien treated his three new friends to ice cream

When they started dating and Nino was feeling dysphoric, Alya will say things like: “My boyfriend is the manliest man ever.”

... Ah, fuck it! Bring out the Miraculous!🐞🐈‍⬛🐢

Marinette is Ladybug/Nino is Carapace/Kim is Mèo đen (They all know each other’s identities because they opened the boxes together in Marinette’s room)

Thanks to a little magic, they have the bodies they’ve always dreamed of having

One Akuma they faced was some transphobic dick who they did not go easy on. Carapace and Mèo đen had to reluctantly keep Ladybug from murdering him in front of a bunch of people

Now, Lila? (I can’t go one second without Lila salt) She’s a new member of the assholes club but doesn’t know others know Marinette, Kim, and Nino are trans

She runs into class sobbing like a dumb [BLEEP] and whines about how Marinette assaulted her in the bathroom

The class was not amused and Lila never did become popular

Then the big day came. They were eighteen and they got their surgery together in the same hospital

Doctors and nurses gushed over how sweet it was three best friends were taking this huge step together

Kim and Nino’s first act was to burn their bras. Marinette even joined in even though she needed hers’

🏳️‍⚧️ Okay, onto the Pride headcanons! 🏳️‍⚧️

Some consider them Trans icons

It’s not every day a group of best friends come out as Transgender and get their surgery on the same day

They go to Pride every year, and thanks to Marinette, they’re always the best dressed

Their outfits mainly consist of sleeveless hoodies, crop tops, sandals, and bedazzled shorts and capes

Every time Marinette inhales, a terf gets punched

Every time Marinette exhales, a trans kid gets a cupcake

Mari makes pride capes, bedazzles them, and passes them out at parades

Kim is very popular with the drag Queens.

He is a lip sync god

Children love him and always ask for piggyback rides

He’s notorious for making flower crowns for the kids

Nino takes on the role of the mom friend when they got to pride

He once put Mari and Kim on those baby leashes so they wouldn’t wander off

He also supplies juice boxes and snacks

After their surgery, Nino and Kim pass out their old binders.

Kim’s would definitely look like sports jerseys

Nino’s binders are neon and one even glows in the dark

He wears hoodies no matter how hot it is

Marinette: Nino, take that off!

Nino: *Sweating more than the average person* No!

Marinette once beat up a terf who was harassing Kim and Nino for being “traitors to their sex”

The terf left with bruises and a small crush

[kanerallels]

Aww yeah both Ezra and Sabine for character asks :)

Aw heck yeah my kids!!!! I love them so much!

Ezra first:

First impression: Something along the lines of "this kid is a total punk and I already like him"

Impression now: *kicks down door* LOOK AT MY SOOOOOOOOOOOOON *throws vase* PRIDE IS NOT THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR *smashes table* THERE IS SO MUCH MORE INSIDE ME NOW

(yeah I'm not normal lol)

Favorite moment: Oh. Dang. How am I supposed to choose one? Okay, I'll choose a serious moment and an Ezra moment lol. Serious moment: Either the finale because reasons I can't discuss without crying, or Steps Into Shadows. Both parts, because it just shows that Ezra was trying to become Kanan for the team, but he was also so afraid and angry and struggling. And when his space dad came back for him *chef's kiss* Beautiful. My friend @heckin-music-dork has this lovely post about some excellent parallels in that scene (which I just spent upwards of fifteen minutes looking for I kid you not. I'm dedicated, what can I say?)

Favorite classically Ezra moment is probably "Roger? Wait, who's roger?"

Idea for a story: Uhhhh *looks at ridiculously long list of SWR fan fic ideas* Let's go with one I've had around for a while and may or may not ever write-- in the end of SWR, when he does the whole purrgil thing, he accidentally time travels back to the beginning of SWR. But so does Thrawn. And so they just get stuck in this time loop trying to thwart each other. Sometimes they take other people back with them, sometimes Thrawn just jumps straight to Lothal and starts blowing stuff up, etc. No idea how it would end-- ideally, with Kanan saved and Thrawn brought to justice or something

Unpopular opinion: Does me kinda liking Sabezra count? If not, then maybe just the fact that I like him and there are people out there who do not. He's my fluffy boy, and I love him your honor

Favorite relationship: Much though I love him and Sabine's friendship, it's probably he and Kanan's relationship. THAT'S HIS FATHER OKAY??? *is highly emotional* Oh! But my other choice would be he and Hondo's relationship. It makes me happy

Favorite headcanon: Kanan teaches Ezra how to cook

Sabine's is under the cut because this got VERY long lol

First impression: Heyyy, isn't she the one who loves explosives?

Impression now: HECK YES QUEEN LEGEND EVERYONE APPRECIATE HER (also I really really want that haircut)

Favorite moment: *insert all of Trials of the Darksaber here but especially the final fight scene*

Idea for a story: So I'm not saying I have a Sabezra Aladdin retelling where there's also some DELIGHTFUL background Kanera but I 101 percent have that

Unpopular opinion: She should be Queen of Mandalore your honor. Actually, I don't know if I really feel that way, but she is a queen in personality. Plus, Sabine with the Darksaber made me way way too happy, soooooooo... that

Favorite relationship: Am I allowed to say her relationship with Kanan? Kidding, I don't care. Her relationship with Kanan. It makes me feel things

Favorite headcanon: I don't know if this is a headcanon, exactly, but she needs her own lightsaber that is all

Character ask game!

Ice Queens don’t melt

A quick Kagaminette fic, there is a part 2 that should release tomorrow. Hope its decent. Trigger warning for puke and heat exhaustion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was hot in Paris. The summer heat had come, and was bearing down on the lovers city with brutal vengeance. The sun was sweltering, making weapons out of seat belt buckles and coins alike. Even in such heat, the ice queen remained cold, training with a steely resolve. Adrien has been taken home by his father, who responded to the heat by forcing the boy to practice piano in his (thankfully air conditioned) room. The heat was drowning even the ice queen was melting, taking numerous breaks for re hydration and to cool down. There was crashed, far off into the city. An akuma in this heat. Poor ladybug.

Ladybug was already struggling. Between living at a bakery where everything was already warm, going to a school where most of the walls were covered in windows (why), a heat based akuma was murder. The team defeated it, with Chat taking the lead. The student was angry that his school was open in this heat, wanting to stay home in the heat. Ladybug couldn’t blame him, sweat leaking down her mask. She breathlessly said “bug out”, and wished away before reporters came.

When she landed in a back alley(near school thankfully) with an audible thump, Tikki released herself. The kwami chastised Marinette for being reckless with her de-transformation, but understood nonetheless. The heat was permeating everything, the alleyway being a quick refuge. She stumbled to her feet, sweat thankfully pouring down her face, and started the torturous journey home. The throbbing headache was painful in the light, but she pressed on. Her face felt pale, heartbeat was loud in her ears. The nausea made it all the worse. It was only a short walk to her house, shouldn’t take long. Then she can worry.

Kagami was just leaving the building, waiting for her car to pick her up when she saw Marinette staggering towards her home. The girl was clutching her stomach, head facing the pavement, a small grimace painted her lips. She was pale, sweating in this heat.

Kagami took the executive decision to walk over.

“What’s wrong?” She questioned

Marinette looked at her, the grimace replaces by a dazed look. She was panting for breath.

“ I‘m alright, how’re you” she was swaying on her feet.

“Where’s your house”

“The bakery over there, wh-“Marinette gagged”why?”

The ice queen did not answer, simply leading her by the arm towards the bakery. She informed her mother of her intentions, but did not wait for a reply. Marinette was steadily leaning her more as the short journey continued. They arrived at the bakery.

Kagami walked into the bakery with an ever increasingly dazed looking Marinette in tow. Her mother immediately walked over. A cautious hand reached towards Marinettes’ forehead, and Sabine looked even more concerned.

“Heat exhaustion it seems, thank you for helping her miss?”

“Kagami Tsurugi . Do you want me to help her to her room?”

“Oh,only if you don’t mind Kagami. I’ll get you a box of fresh baked macaroons to take home.” Sabine smiled gently at her.

Kagami helped Marinette up the steps, and passed her a glass of water.

“Drink” she commanded, and the usually chipper girl did. Marinettes’ eyes were dropping and glassy, she looked as if she might faint. That didn’t stop her from propelling herself towards the bathroom at a speed that took Tsurugi by surprise. Following her into the bathroom she ignored the retches, the small sobs that escaped Marinettes lips, and the way tears mixed with bile. She sat beside the girl, running a surprisingly comforting had up and down her back, just watching as Marinette hugged the toilet seat. When she was finished, Marinette stood up, somehow shakier than before, washed her mouth out, and stumbled yet again towards her chaise lounge. Kagami didn’t say a word, just filled the glass with water and ordered her to drink, slowly this time.

Sabine came up the stairs, with some ice packs and the promised macaroons, and left her daughter in Kagamis capable hands (with her permission of course). 

After making sure Marinette was comfortable, one question lingered. How did she even get heat exhaustion? She doubted that exposure had caught her, it was only a little time after school. She doubted the akuma has gotten her because that was on the other end of Paris. She doubted strenuous exercise because Marinette wasn’t involved in any clubs of that sort. It was evidently heat exhaustion between the dizziness, lack of sweat, and vomiting, but why. The only people in the city beyond your evident people (elderly, young at fit freaks) who would get heatstroke were ladybug and Chat Noir.

Oh. Oh dear.

Of course. It made so much sense. The haircut, the eyes, the optimism. She had heard that Marinette had challenged Chloe, which only cemented it further in her mind. The heat based akuma must have pushed her past the brink. This would be dealt with another day, a phone ring bringing her back to reality. Kagami Tsurugi thanked Sabine for the macaroons, accepted her own thanks and walked to meet her car. She hoped her mother would understand.

Marinette woke up the next day to a horrendous headache, and a sore back. She remembered being walked home, remembered the bathroom, remembered being ordered to drink multiple times in the night. She remembered a glorious cold against her forehead. That was it. Past the akuma, she couldn’t remember who brought her home. Her mother came into her room, demanding her to stay home. She couldn’t find a reason to disagree, wanting to curl up with an ice pack and some water and stay there for a while. Before her mother left, she asked who brought her home.

“Kagami Tsurugi, she’s a lovely girl Marinette. You should try to get to know her better”

The news shattered her world. Kagami? The ice queen. Appropriate, but unexpected. The ice queen had ditched something to help her? Marinette asked Adrien to thank her on her behalf, saying she should be in the next day.

Tikki was upset, worried almost sick about her. She vowed that if another akuma showed that day, she would deal with it herself.

Luckily, for the miraculous ladybug, the need never arose.

Writing Prompt Day 12

AU Yeah August- Day 12: Royalty (Adrinette)

Putting the teacups on the platter, Adrien sighed softly. Yet another day at work; another day at being told what to do by people with a higher social class. He didn’t hate his job, really; he couldn’t, really. He’s been doing this practically since he was born.

“Adrien! Please bring the tea!” A feminine voice exclaimed from another room.

“Yes, Queen Sabine” Adrien replied softly, immediately taking the tray and walking to the other room. Being the son of a butler wasn’t that bad; he had been living here his whole life and the King and Queen were actually really nice to him. They always treated him and his father kindly, especially since the death of his mother. How she’d probably be proud of him... plus, he was the princess�� personal butler, and she was probably one of the sweetest people he’s ever met. Walking fast, he arrived in front of the Queen and immediately bowed to her.

“Your Majesty” he said before giving her the cup of tea. The queen smiled.

“Thank you” she nodded in approval. Adrien smiled at her before taking the tray again and walking off in direction of the princess’ room. On his way, he had to avoid and be very careful not to run into one of the queen’s nieces who were running around. Most of the royal couple’s family was sleeping at the castle tonight as tomorrow was the princess’ wedding. Everyone was frenetic and preparing the last minute details, running around the castle. It was almost stressful to watch them. As soon as he arrived in front of the princess’ door, he knocked softly. Over the years, the two of them had come up with their own special knock so she could know whenever it was him at the door. She ordered him to come in and he slowly opened the door. Marinette was sitting on her bed, wearing her sleep robe and she was playing with the ruffles on the bottom of her dress. Adrien put the tray down on her dresser and brought her cup.

“Thank you” she whispered, taking it in her hands. She took a sip.

“Are you okay?” He asked, sitting down next to her. Marinette sighed.

“Not really” she looked up to him. “I don’t want to get married” she admitted.

“What? But you’ve been preparing for this for so long!” He exclaimed, his eyes widened in shock. Marinette smiled sadly.

“That’s true. Doesn’t mean I want to. I’m gonna marry a guy I barely even know! That’s not fair! Why do my parents have to choose my husband, the guy I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with?” Adrien completely understood what she must feel. He would never be in a similar situation but it must really suck for her. He took her hands.

“It’s gonna be okay. I promise” he gave her a reassuring smile. Marinette smiled back.

“Thank you. You really are the best” she replied softly.

“Hey... since this is your last day at doing whatever you want... let’s do something” he proposed. “Come with me” he stood up and walked off quickly, a slight smile on his face. Curious, Marinette followed him, chuckling slightly. She immediately recognized the way to the rooftop, a place they used to go a lot when they were younger. How she missed those moments. They didn’t have much of them ever since the announce of the wedding a few months ago. She absolutely loved spending time with Adrien, her best friend, when she could. He was the only one who understood her, the one person she had in her life for as long as she could. Hopefully when she’ll be married, she can still spend some time with him... What made their little escapade to the rooftop so exciting was the fact that literally no one knew about it and that they almost had to sneak around to get there. As soon as they arrived, Marinette looked up to stare at the stars. They were especially glowing tonight and she found them absolutely beautiful. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Adrien was leaning against the border, looking at the distance. She went to stand beside him.

“You okay?” She was the one who ask this questions as she noticed he looked distracted. Adrien nodded.

“Yeah... yeah I’m fine” he lied. He couldn’t really tell her why he was like this, why he really was upset. He looked over at Marinette, who’s eyes were sparkling beside him. It made him smile. She always made him smile, even when she wasn’t trying. She brightened up his days when they were rough just by her presence by him. With that smile of hers, with her good mood... it was crazy, impossible to love her the way he did, yet here he was. It was a pain, sometimes, to be in love with her. He always knew he would never have a chance with her... but it still hurt a lot. To know that tomorrow, she would be married to some other guy. Some pretty prince who was definitely better than he could ever be. To see her wear a ring that another guy gave her... it stung like the devil, he couldn’t deny it. He didn’t want to ruin her new relationship with his own feelings. He had to be happy for her, no matter what.

“Adrien?” He suddenly heard her say.

“Yeah?”

“You’re gonna be there at my wedding, right?” She asked, a bit nervously. He gave her the softest smile.

“Of course. I’m gonna be sitting in the front row” he promised. “At least if I can” Marinette smiled slightly.

“Good. I don’t think I can handle it if you aren’t there” she admitted. Adrien chuckled and took her hands.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be there if you need me. I always will be” he assured her. Marinette looked down at their hands and back at him. She was suddenly feeling a bit flustered. He was always going to be there for her. He had always been. Whenever she needed a shoulder to cry on, he was there. Whenever she needed company, he was there. Whenever she needed someone to cheer her up, he was there with a joke to crack. He wasn’t just her butler, he was her best friend. And she loved him. Why did she have to seek love with a random guy when the one she wanted was right in front of her? How she wished she could just cancel everything and just be with him... but she couldn’t. He was of a lower class than her and who knew how her family would react if she announced she was in a relationship with her butler... it just couldn’t be, and yet, it didn’t stop her from wanting it. She looked up to him and smiled.

“Thank you. I’m lucky to have you” she spoke softly and sincerely. She squeezed his hands and scooted closer to him. Adrien looked at her with such love in his eyes, Marinette wondered how she had never noticed it before. He loved her just as much.

“I’m lucky to have you too” he replied. “And you wanna know something? Your future husband will be a lucky man to have you as his wife” he added with a small smile. Did he really just say that? She blushed, feeling her heart flutter.

“Aww, Adrien..” she looked at him with a shy smile. “You’re too sweet” she let out an uncontrollable giggle. Their faces were now a few inches from each other. Marinette gulped nervously; she could feel Adrien breathing on her face. Her cheeks were on fire. She noticed that he was staring at her longingly with a cheeky smile on his face. He lifted his hand to play with a strand of hair near her face. She bit her lip.

“Don’t thank me. You know it’s the truth” he whispered. Without them realizing, they were both leaning in closer to each other, and before they knew it, their lips touched. It took them a while to realize that they were kissing, and as soon as they did, they both quickly pulled away. Marinette was immediately freaking out; what was she doing? She was already betrothed with someone, why was she kissing another guy, her butler? If her family learned about this... the worst part? She actually enjoyed it. Now she was just embarrassed. Embarrassed and scared. She looked down at the floor, taking a few steps back. She noticed that Adrien was doing the same.

“I-I should uh- get back down... see if my dad... uh- needs help” he suddenly said nervously, clearing his throat. Marinette was so stunned, she couldn’t answer. She simply nodded her head as a response. She watched Adrien leave and started playing with her hair awkwardly. What was she going to do now? Even though, fortunately, no one knew about this, but how could she marry someone else when she was in love with Adrien, especially after she kissed him? She took a deep breath; she had no choice. She had to face it, whatever the challenges. It’s not like she could avoid it, right?

The next day, Marinette stood in front of the mirror with her wedding dress. She was so nervous, she was actually trembling. Why did she come to this? She bit her lip. Her mother came from behind her, a big smile on her face.

“My daughter is getting married. I’m so proud!” She exclaimed, tears in her eyes. She was going to disappoint her. She was going to disappoint them all. She gave her the best smile she could give.

“Thank you, mom” she replied. She watched as the queen elegantly walked off and felt like crying. Her cousin Bridgette came to see her next. She went in and hugged her excitedly.

“My younger cousin, a real woman now! I sure hope your future husband will be a gentleman. If he does anything wrong to you, you know I’ll break his bones” she warned. Marinette couldn’t help but chuckle.

“I know that. Thanks” she grinned awkwardly. Bridgette walked away as well, jumping in excitement. Marinette started arranging her haircut in an attempt to calm herself down. The closer it got to the wedding, the more nervous she got... suddenly, she heard footsteps from behind her and turned around. There he was. Not her groom, but rather her butler, who was wearing a vary fancy smoking, fancier than usual. He had a big grin on his face. Marinette felt like her heart skipped a beat. It was absolutely wrong, yet she couldn’t help it. She couldn’t stop a smile from growing on her face.

“Look at you, being all fancy” she said with a chuckle. Adrien came closer to her and smiled.

“Me? Did you look at yourself?” Marinette turned around again to look at her reflection and Adrien approached her, hugging her shoulders. “You look splendid” he complimented. The dark haired girl blushed.

“Thank you.” She turned to him. “But I’m still scared”

“I know. But it’s gonna be okay. I’m sure you’re future husband is going to be great” he assured her. Marinette wasn’t reassured though; she was more scared than ever. What if it didn’t work out? What if she didn’t like the guy? She could never feel the spark wth her future husband, no matter how hard she tried, because of what happened last night. She looked at Adrien, with his sweet look and even if he tried to hide it, she could tell that behind that smile hid an inexplicable jealousy and bitterness. Nonetheless, he was helping her get ready, he was supporting her, he was comforting her... suddenly, an idea popped into her head. It was crazy, absolutely crazy. She shouldn’t do it... but she had this crazy urge to. The night before, she had a dream about running away with Adrien that and realized that maybe she was meant to be with him. Why be with some random guy when she already found the right guy? She couldn’t marry someone while dreaming of someone else. She took Adrien by the arm and dragged him in a corner. The blond boy immediately looked at her with confusion. Marinette took a deep breath.

“I can’t do this” she let out.

“Yes, you can. I’m sure you can” Adrien said but the girl shook her head.

“No... no I can’t! I can’t marry that guy! He’s a complete stranger, and I can’t just- marry him when I...” she could feel the tears dwelling her eyes. “... when I love you.” She confessed, looking at him in his eyes. Adrien stood there, a bit shocked. He could feel his heartbeat accelerate. “I love you too, Marinette. I always have” he admitted before sighing. “But... we can’t be together. I want to, but what about your parents? Your status? And my father? No one would approve” he looked in sadness. Marinette took his hand.

“We don’t need their approval” she spoke and Adrien raised an eyebrow. “We can run away” the boy’s eyes widened.

“Run away? Are you serious?” He asked, skeptic.

“Listen... I know this isn’t ideal but... like you said, no one would approve of our relationship. And... I want to be with you” Marinette looked at Adrien, who was pursing his lips in thought. He then smiled nervously.

“Okay. Let’s do it. It might go wrong, and we’ll probably get in trouble, but...” he paused. “Let’s not think about that” he finished. Marinette grinned happily, hiding how nervous she was. Adrien laughed slightly and took her bridal style.

“Let’s go, princess” he exclaimed quietly before running off the door, away from everyone’s judging eyes. They didn’t know where they were going, but they did know that together, they would be happy, no matter what.

[rebels-ptau]

Do you have any stories from people being jerks to the family besides Tarkin?

(Ezra)Eh, the real problem isn't jerks so much as what Sabine likes to call “poachers”.See, we came to the horrified realization a few months ago that people think Caleb is HOT. I know, right? I mean, okay he's thirty-two, not fifty-two and he's in pretty good shape with all the therapeutic running/calisthenics, and now the getting back into martial arts since his “cane-fu” instructor (some Donnie Yen-looking guy named Chirrut) convinced him to start teaching his whole thing of “If you have your hands on them or they've grabbed you, you don't need to see them”.And now that summer has rolled around he’s familiar enough with the area that he can actually run and he started dragging me along because I’m on the track team now anyway. Between all that and the haircut and the sleeves-torn-off running gear that shows off his ink without showing off his bullet holes and the Ray Bans, he looks like he rolled out of bed and onto the set of something like Sixteen Candles or Breakfast Club as Bad Boy Love Interest #1. You’d think the blindness thing would throw them, but the fact that he compensates really well for it, enough that people sometimes don't notice until they see his cane or he takes off his glasses just makes it weirdly sexy-pitiable because he's Just So Brave.Roll it all together and he's apparently Suburban Mom Catnip. Most of them are fine, like, Mrs. “Call Me Annette” Davis is harmless. She lives across the street from the neighborhood park and has apparently made Caleb-Watching part of her morning routine. She'll be out on her porch with a coffee cup and a book she doesn't read while Caleb cranks out a few dozen pull-ups on the monkey bars and goads me through however many I can manage. I asked Katylynne about it one time and she just kinda shrugged like, “Eh, between me, the twins and the divorce, she needs some Me Time.”Which was totally fine, but then she had to keep going.“That and she says 'Dating is a shark tank I don't want to dive into again, but Mommy has needs.’”Ew.“Face it, your dad’s hot.”And then Katylynne started joining her mom out on the porch and pointedly yelling Good Morning! at us. It's a bonding ritual for them now I think.It only started getting Weird the first time Hera got deployed after we moved here. Unfortunately there's Ye Olde Stereotypes about military families: The spouse left at home is basically single, right? (Wrong, ew.) But that didn't stop the casseroles showing up at the door, held level with unusually (and completely pointlessly) low necklines and promises to make sure he called if he needed absolutely anything~💖Mrs. “Call Me Diane” Hallifax isn't serious, I'm pretty sure she's just getting a little Desperate Housewives/50 Shades/Cosmo Sex Tips-Style Illicit Thrill out of her system via Forbidden Flirtation and SOMEONE should appreciate her ham-and-broccoli-cheddar quiche because holy crap it's amazing. I might kill a man over the peanut-butter 'brookies’ (it's double dutch chocolate brownies with peanut butter cookies baked in somehow?!)Mrs. “Oh, please, it's Karen” Marshall is a little creepy and the real reason Caleb started dragging me along on his runs. Apparently she just ran up beside him one morning (in, I and thus he, would later discover, head-to-toe Victoria Secret PINK! running gear, complete with teeny-tiny velour jacket half-zipped over teeny-tiny push-up sports bra (WHY BOTHER HE'S BLIND)) and was running way too close so she kept """accidentally""" brushing up against him (which made him veer sideways to compensate and subsequently nearly smack into a stop sign, which would have been hilariously ironic) and she wouldn't fucking shut up about how much yoga she does. I'm basically an inverse-wingman, and provide helpful tension relief like, “Oh yeah, Hera’s really flexible too, and she can bench-press him. It's pretty cool.” She mysteriously got bored of running for cardio after like, a week of cockblocking. Or whatever the female version is.… and then there's That Bitch Cecile Greene. Who, by the way, we didn't name. She's kind of queen of the community, head of the PTA, Neighborhood Watch Council, HOA, all the acronym societies that go into running a gated community with an iron fist. She fights dirty. Like, all that sympathy stuff, the “Call if you need anything~ 💖”? All of that, but laced with things like how it must be So Hard being a Single Dad… well, not quite a single dad but doesn't it seem like it sometimes? And sure the kids are sweet but it's just so much to ask to raise them alone... He must get So Lonely… And God only knows what SHE's doing out there. Oh, no, of course she wouldn’t do anything like THAT but there are those Rumors you hear about sailors and pilots and she's both...She never outright said Hera was abandoning us when she went to sea, but she was basically doing a fucking manipulation tango around the words, and she was never quite rude or invasive enough for Caleb to feel right about telling her to fuck off like he should and wanted to. Just enough to get under his skin, destabilize him.Thanks lady, way to prey on a guy battling chronic depression and, oh yeah, the fear that he's not good enough for his girl anymore, ever since he was brutally tortured and crippled.Luckily, she tried her shit on Hera. The same sort of backwards-compliment-insult at (of all places) a PTA meeting. Some crap about how it must be So Hard, that Hera is So Brave to stay with Caleb even through all the Hardship he was going through…And Hera, who knew aaaaaall about her shit from me and Sabine, looks this Martha Stewart wannabe dead in the face, takes a sip of her sugar-free punch and says,“They burnt out his EYEballs, Cecile, not the important ones.”(Sabine and I, of course, were in earshot, and I nearly died via punch inhalation because I knew where she was going with this.)Cecile had kinda like, blinked, because oh no she won't. “I… don't quite understand what you mean?”“I mean he still fucks like a goddamn champion,” Hera answers calmly, still sipping her punch like she isn't discussing her sex life in the middle of a fucking PTA MEETING. “I'm sure as shit not about to give that kind of dick up just because I have to explain what's going on onscreen for Movie Night.”“I BEG your pardon?!”“We may not have spent a couple thousand dollars on a sparkly rock and a white dress but it's still TIL DEATH DO US PART.” And then she tossed her cup in the trash, walked over, hooked Caleb’s arm in hers and they WALKED OUT. Conveniently Sabine was already set to stay over with Ketsu and I had literally JUST asked Caleb if I could go to Zare’s, because yeah, don't want to be home after that.

Okay I have to ask: what was you first reaction to Sabine's reference to the infamous sand line? Mine was that I had to pause the episode and I was laughing for like a solid half a minute.

I’m going to embarrass myself so stick with me here.

I did this really ugly squeal/ laugh thing. It was so disgusting that I started laughing because SABINE OH MY GOD you just referenced pre Darth Vader, DARTH VADER.

The fact that it wasn’t one of those philosophical lines that stays with you and has underlying wisdom to it, but instead was literally just a reference from blond kid with a shitty haircut being an emo piece of trash in front of a queen, stating how much he hates SAND of all things, in such detail KILLS ME!!!

Sabine is such a dork and I love her in this episode. Hopefully it’s not foreshadowing for anything though. Thank you for the ask! xx
