damn i can't believe i got GUNKED WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thank you @gunktuationmark. time to inflict music upon you all. this is going to be LONG. no choice. suffer me.

Rules: pick a song for each letter of your URL and tag that many people. (all the links are youtube links because we hate spotify in this house)

U: Ulysse - Nino Ferrer. you even get a (homebrew) translation (with some poetic license. because i said so) (i even downloaded the reference english translation of a 17th century verse collection to make sure my translation was as accurate as possible. okay.)

Odysseus was a strong, handsome young man who wanted to see the world

And he ran on the sea, ceaselessy, with this rage burning within him, towards the setting sun

And days and nights and months and years flew away under the stem, the journey never ended

Then one september morning at 7am, on an island or another, Odysseus found

A cracked mirror shard that a princess had lost

And then he looked his own face in the eyes, and saw that he was old, and alone, and naked

And then he started dreaming of all the lost days, still looking at the faraway skyline that seemed to taunt him, so near and yet so far

"Futile, all is futile

We busy ourselves, we're fleas

Futile, all is futile

Hopeless, all is a farce

Where does the sun set and where have all the mysteries gone, with their beautiful sorcereresses?

I can't believe in the gods no more and I don't hope for love and all my friends are dead and the game goes on still

And still I keep on rolling on the sea, taking me to the end day, the point of no return

I can't scream my rage or desire no more, I feel tired, emptied of want

And out of breath like an old dog chasing after the wind;

Singing availeth you not; now you must die"

Thus quoth Odysseus on an empty beach before boarding for his last trip

Through the bitter pitter-patter of time's waters, towards the setting sun

Joined by his friends, all singing while they rowed:

"Futile, all is futile

We busy ourselves, we're fleas

Futile, all is futile

Hopeless, all is a farce"

Adrino week day 6 - Heroes

Stupid for you - read it on ao3 or below!

���He’s just so cute!”

Nino wasn’t sure what he’d just walked into. The classroom, yeah. Marinette and Alya in their seats, sure. But Adrien was sitting on top of the girls’ desk, looking at Alya’s phone with maybe the biggest smile Nino had ever seen. And that was definitely Adrien who had just said something about some guy being cute.

“I know!” Alya agreed emphatically, scrolling on her phone. “I got so many good pictures last night. I knew you’d want to see them.”

“Can you share these with me?” Adrien asked. His cheeks dusted pink when Alya winked back at him. “We just don’t see him often!”

“Um,” Nino interrupted, confused, “see who?”

Marinette sighed. “They’re going on and on about Carapace.”

What? No way. There was no way Adrien was totally obsessed with Carapace, because Nino was Carapace, and that- that was insane. “N-no,” Nino stammered out. “Really?”

Adrien nodded, leaning forward to smile at Nino. “He’s so cute, don’t you think?”

“Uh,” Nino managed, mostly shocked speechless by Adrien’s coy smile. It was warm in here, right? Like, really warm, unseasonably warm, and it definitely wasn’t just him.

“I think he is,” Adrien said, saving Nino from having to answer. “And he was out again last night, and Alya got so many good pictures.”

“Just for you, sunshine,” Alya said. “You know I’ll share them with you. Just let me pick the best ones.”

“They’re all good ones!” Adrien closed his eyes with a sigh. “I wish I could’ve been there. I’m so jealous you were so close to him, Alya.”

“Hey, I have a question,” Marinette said. “Since when did you have a thing for Carapace?”

“Since when does it matter?” Adrien countered with a shrug. “I have a thing for him. So what?”

“So you’re, like, super in love with him out of the blue.”

“He’s cute!” Adrien argued.

No one seemed to have a counter argument to that (least of all Nino, of course).

Adrien hopped off the desk, landing next to Nino and playfully nudging his shoulder. “C’mon. You get what I’m saying, right?”

“Um, yeah,” Nino said. Adrien thought he was cute. Adrien had a thing for him. Superhero-him, but still him.

Where had this come from? Marinette had a point. Adrien had barely ever mentioned Carapace before, but now, out of the blue…

Adrien slid into his seat with another dramatic sigh, interrupting Nino’s thoughts. “Nino, have you ever met him?”

“Met… who?”

“Carapace,” Adrien said with a patient smile.

Right. Of course. The superhero Adrien was obsessed with. “Um, no?”

“Oh, that’s unfortunate.” Adrien rested his chin in his hand. “I wish I could meet him.”

“Yeah?” Nino said as he sat down, flustered. He wanted to get his materials out for class, but he honestly didn’t remember what class he was in right now.

“Mm-hm.” Adrien leaned a little closer. “I really do think he’s cute, you know.”

“You, uh, you did say that.”

Adrien leaned closer. “And he’s, like, so strong, too. Have you seen him?”

“U-um, not- not personally?” Nino said.

Adrien flashed a grin.

What was happening?

“Well,” Adrien said, sitting back in his seat a normal distance away, “I want to meet him. Can’t you imagine? Getting rescued by a superhero like him?”

“Hey,” Marinette said from behind them, “what happened to the other superheroes?”

Adrien turned to face her. “I don’t know. They’re just not as cute as Carapace. Sorry.”

Marinette rolled her eyes. “Whatever. You’re worse than me when I have a crush.”

“Oh, isn’t it fun?” Adrien let out another dreamy sigh (seriously, how was he doing that?). “I get why you do it now, Marinette, I really do.”

“You’re insufferable.” Marinette leaned forward to ruffle Adrien’s hair.

“Hey!” Adrien laughed, fixing his hair. “Don’t tease me! I’m swooning!”

Swooning? Did he seriously just say swooning?

“You’re pathetic,” Marinette said.

“I’m just in love.”

What?

No, actually, what?

“Check your texts, loverboy,” Alya said. “I just shared the folder of last night’s pictures with you.”

Adrien scrambled for his phone.

This… made no sense.

But, you know, Nino was flattered nonetheless.

Look, Carapace was just doing his job. If Ladybug asked him to patrol, well, he’d do that. He wasn’t entirely sure why he was here, and why Chat Noir wasn’t, and why Ladybug had asked him to do this at all when patrol was mostly just a social hour for the heroes, but he wasn’t complaining.

And maybe, if he suggested they patrol past where Adrien’s photoshoot was… well, they had to make sure all of Paris was safe.

“Oh!” Ladybug said in surprise when the park housing the photoshoot came into view. “Hey, it’s Adrien Agreste over there.”

“Oh, really?” Carapace said, feigning surprise.

“You know, I heard he has a crush on you,” Ladybug teased, leaning in closer.

Okay, how many people had Adrien told?

“What?” Carapace said with an awkward laugh. “I, um, did not know that. Definitely.”

“You should talk to him.” Ladybug grabbed Carapace’s arm. “He’s, like, so obsessed with you.”

“No, I-I shouldn’t,” Carapace said, brushing Ladybug’s hand away. “It’s just a celebrity crush probably.”

“He’s a celebrity.”

“So?”

“That means a celebrity crush for him is basically a real crush. Oh, look, they’re wrapping up!” Ladybug pointed towards the park. They were packing. Adrien was walking away.

Oh. Carapace had wanted to watch him some more.

“Go! Go, go, go!” Ladybug pushed Carapace forward. “Go talk to him!”

“What? No, I can’t,” Carapace said, stumbling away. “He’s, you know, he’s busy.”

“Not too busy for you!” Ladybug kept pushing. “Talk to him!”

“I- what? I shouldn’t.” Carapace glanced between Adrien and Ladybug. “I-I mean, that’s not a superhero responsibility, right?”

“Sure it is. I’m Ladybug, I should know.” Ladybug gave him one final push. “Go!”

And, well, Carapace couldn’t argue with Ladybug, right?

He jumped down to the sidewalks. “Adrien!”

Adrien turned over his shoulder. He met Carapace’s gaze and then burst into a smile. “Carapace!”

Cool. He could be cool. “Hey,” he said.

Adrien giggled. “Hi.”

Still being cool. Carapace scrambled for something cool to say. “What’s a handsome street like you doing out on a dangerous boy like this?”

“Oh,” Adrien said, raising an eyebrow.

Wait. That wasn’t right

“You’re so funny,” Adrien said with the same dreamy smile he’d had in class today. “You think I’m handsome?”

“I mean, of course,” Carapace said.

Wow. He was totally blowing this.

Adrien’s smile brightened still. “You know, I think you’re really cute.”

Oh, god. He was serious. Carapace let out a nervous laugh. “What? Me?”

Adrien nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah. I’m so happy I finally got to meet you. Pictures don’t do you justice.”

“N-no?”

“No way. You’re way stronger in person.” Adrien reached out to rest his hand on Carapace’s bicep.

Carapace stared down at Adrien’s hand. And then back at Adrien. He should say something, something cool and smart and funny, but he couldn’t think of any words at all. Did he even know any words? He didn’t. He’d never even spoken before.

Adrien’s phone rang, interrupting that beautiful moment. He pulled his hand away to check his phone and sighed. “I guess I should get home.” He looked back at Carapace with a hopeful smile. “But I’ll see you again?”

Carapace nodded. “Yes. Yeah. Absolutely.”

Adrien smiled back.

They both stood there for a moment, not saying anything. Carapace would’ve been happy to live in this moment forever.

And then, Adrien moved. Closer. He put a hand on Carapace’s shoulder and moved even closer and then he-

He pressed a kiss against Carapace’s cheek.

It sent a shock down his spine, freezing him in place. Adrien just kissed him. His cheek, but, still, he’d kissed him!

Adrien giggled one more time (how did he do that and how did he make it so cute) as he pulled away. He waved as he took a step back. “Bye, Carapace.”

Carapace managed to raise his hand and wave back.

Yeah. He definitely needed to talk to Adrien again.

Nino was early to school the next day. He wanted to beat Adrien to make sure he didn’t miss a single word he said.

It felt a little weird, admittedly, to be playing this game with his secret identity. Adrien didn’t know he was talking about Carapace right in front of him. But Nino was desperate to know what Adrien thought of him.

And, yeah, Adrien was cute and funny and sweet and thoughtful and smart and he’d make a great boyfriend. But that was beside the point. The point was… well, maybe that was the point.

“Hey, Nino,” Alya said as Nino walked into the classroom. “Did you see Carapace was out last night?”

“Um, yeah,” Nino said. “I heard.”

“Adrien’s gonna freak.”

Marinette giggled. “I’m pretty sure I saw Carapace talking to Adrien.”

“What?” Alya grabbed Marinette’s arm. “You’re joking. Oh my god, he’s so gonna freak.”

“I’m serious. Carapace found Adrien after his shoot yesterday.”

“Oh my god. Do you think Carapace likes Adrien?”

Marinette nodded. “Oh, absolutely. He has to.”

Man, why was this classroom so hot lately?

“Alya!” Adrien shouted, suddenly having entered the classroom. “You’re never going to believe this.”

“You talked with Carapace?” Alya asked, a laugh in her voice.

“Yes!” Adrien threw his things down at his seat as he rushed up to the girls. “He was flirting with me!”

Alya grabbed Adrien’s hands with an excited scream. “No way!”

“I swear! He was!”

“Was he everything you imagined?” Marinette asked.

Adrien let out a dreamy sigh. “Even better.”

Nino busied himself with digging out a pen. Or two or three or all of them. Anything to keep his head down.

“He’s incredible. He’s so handsome, and he’s so strong, and he’s funny, too. He’s, like, perfect.”

Seriously, was there no air conditioning in this school?

“And he just came right up to me!” Adrien continued. “He found me. Can you believe it?”

“No way,” Alya said. “He’s so into you.”

“I know!”

Nino had to find Adrien again. As Carapace. Just… you know, because. No specific reason. Adrien’s excited giggling with Alya had nothing to do with it, obviously.

It only took two days for Carapace to run into Adrien again. He was called in for another akuma. And, look, he was still just doing his job. He was rescuing civilians, honest. He didn’t even realize he had Adrien in his arms until he’d set him down somewhere safe.

“Carapace!” Adrien said, grabbing his wrist. “Wait! My- my best friend, Nino, have you seen him?”

“Um, yeah,” Carapace said. “He’s okay.”

Adrien let out a breath. “Oh, thank you. I couldn’t find him anywhere and I was so worried.”

“Hey, it’s okay. That’s what us heroes are for.”

Adrien smiled. “Yeah. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

That smile. Wow. What was Carapace doing, again?

A crash behind him reminded him. Akuma.

But Adrien was still holding his wrist, and, you know, he couldn’t just leave

“Are you going to take care of that?” Adrien asked.

“I mean… yeah,” Nino said with a sigh. “I am.”

“Thanks for the save, Nino.”

“Oh, it’s nothing for a fan,” Carapace said with a shrug.

“I’m more than just a fan.” Adrien put his hands on his hips.

“Right, sorry. My number one fan.”

“I’m also your best friend.”

What? “What are you…”

Hold on.

Had Adrien called him Nino?

And now that stupid smile on Adrien’s face was clearly that sly, plotting little grin of his, and-

“Wait- wait!” Carapace said. “You know?”

Adrien shrugged. “Maybe.”

“How long have you known?”

“A few days.”

A few days. A few days ago was when Adrien had started with his relentless flirting and had developed his crush on Carapace. “So- so you- the whole time, you- me?”

Adrien let out a breathless laugh. “Yeah. It was really funny to watch you panic.”

“I’m not panicking!” Nino argued in a panic. “I’m just, you know, flattered.”

“Sure,” Adrien teased. “If you say so.”

“I do.”

“Right.” Adrien clasped his hands behind his back. “You know, I never did get a clear answer about how Carapace feels about me.”

“Really?”

“I mean, I have a pretty good guess, but…”

Carapace held a hand out.

Adrien took it.

“Just for the record,” Carapace said as he interlaced their fingers, “that was really mean of you.”

“I know.” Adrien stepped closer. “But it was really funny.”

“Yeah,” Carapace laughed. “It was.”

“So… do you have an answer?”

“Yeah.” Carapace smiled back. “You’re alright, I guess.”

Adrien gasped, jaw dropping open.

Carapace couldn’t hold back a laugh, even when Adrien let go of his hand to swat at his shoulder instead. “Hey!”

“I’m just alright? I’ve been flirting with you for days!” Adrien shoved Carapace playfully.

Carapace held Adrien back by his shoulders. “And you were mean about it!”

“It was funny and you know it.” Adrien ducked out of Carapace’s grasp to push his chest.

“It was cruel,” Carapace countered. He grabbed Adrien’s arm to stop his attack.

“It was hilarious.” Adrien finally stopped fighting. He was standing so close to Carapace, hands still resting on his chest.

Carapace adjusted his hands until they were resting on Adrien’s waist. “You are pretty funny.”

Adrien smiled, urging him on.

“And you’re cute,” Carapace continued. “And you’re really persistent. And you’re so smart.” He pulled Adrien a little closer. “And I love you.”

Adrien wrapped his arms around Carapace’s neck. “You’re just alright,” he said.

Carapace laughed. “Jerk.”

“Kidding.” Adrien leaned in a little closer. “I love you, too.”

And Carapace might’ve been a little dense, but he could figure this one out. He closed the little distance left between them to kiss him. Adrien responded in kind, and he was warm and soft and wonderful. And it made all the teasing from the last few days worth it, just the one kiss; even then, Carapace had the feeling he’d get more.

“How did you find out who I was?” Carapace asked.

“You’re terrible at hiding it,” Adrien said. He smiled. “I saw you detransform. You need better hiding spots.”

Carapace sighed. “Man, I knew someone was there.”

“You’re lucky it was just me.”

“Yeah. I’m really lucky it was you.” Carapace leaned in again, but before he could find Adrien’s lips he was interrupted by a loud crash from nearby. He’d entirely forgotten.

“Oh, shit, the akuma.”

“Go!” Adrien said with a laugh. “I’ll be waiting for you.”

“I’ll come find you.” Carapace leaned in to steal one more kiss before he left, because, well, he’d certainly earned it after the last few days.

**Onk ch 160 spoilers**

I'm really sorry about talking what's not been brought up in official yet, I got SENT stuff and it just...bugs my head so much because I've been having so much brainrot regarding this series lately, my mind keeps functioning on its own and I can't stop my head from running. Please dodge what's below if you wish to keep from it.

You know, I've thought it through last night after having met up with my friends and had a blast(we went to karaoke and Fatal was added in the available songs!! It was so fun trying to sing it~)

If what Kamiki claims IS all true(and I think it is?? There is no reason for him to lie about those and everything makes sense and clicks together, it also does align to how he used to be)

I GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT ABOUT HIM. I GOT LITERALLY EVERYTHING RIGHT. I kept saying this guy can't hurt Ai. He doesn't have it in him. I GOT SO MUCH OF EVERYTHING RIGHT, I just see this actually being the truth really well, that should be how he is. It makes total sense.

And it turns out he really didn't take part in the murders either (except for Yuras which is still left ambiguous but didn't Aqua and Akane say Nino's responsible for it?;; what if he thinks he's to blame for that but it actually isn't? Then he isn't responsible for any of the murder cases that's happened onscreen at least)

Regardless of whether he's good or bad at this point, I feel like this guy is CURSED!!!; Weird things happen around him and I don't think the events that happened regarding Ai's death were intentional at least, if it were to be so, Aqua's reactions wouldn't have been like that. He didn't accuse of what happened regarding Ai, I think he's talking about what Kamiki's tried to do after that. Aqua believes he's after Ruby now and aims to stop him. Anyhow something's out to get this guy bad. His life is so unfortunate, it'd be hard not to grow insane at this rate. Aqua looks seriously on edge but the same should be said about Kamiki too

I analyzed this character's psychology all July~August, right? I don't know whether if he does want to hurt Ruby or not but if what this guy's said regarding what's happened to Ai is really the truth (and that's literally. Literally how I thought things would be all along?? I got 99% of things right except for the details that'd be impossible to predict on my own accord & only the author would know!!!) I think he really DOES love his children that Ai's left behind as well. I don't see him being any other way.

You have to see the little things people say that have no particular reason to be there and wasn't told after an inquiry but was just put out there on a whim. Those are what's usually the true feelings. He said he loves Ai from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to sacrifice his life for hers, and that he does have fatherly feelings, those, in my opinion, ARE what's really there because no one asked him to tell of these stuff and he just. Throws those ideas out there.

In that case, Kamiki's life is true suffering. He can turn out to be evil. I'll just.. Sit back and watch this series with a popcorn if that happens but if that isn't it and my interpretations of him are true(and with my perceptions of how he'd act.. Just matching up so perfectly at this rate I think I'm on the right track?) this guy would BREAK. What's happening to him now is too much. Ai would want to save him from his misery, she loved him, so I believe he's worth it. It's just ridiculous just how much he has to put up with. It's such an unfortunate life he has, how can he still smile when it's like that?

So yes..I have to see more eps to see just what will unfold,

But Kamiki's life is so cursed to the extent it feels weird. I think my theories about him can REALLY be it. Something is ruining his life and that's the black star, read over the lyrics in Fatal, there IS a star that's doing that to him if that's his song which I think it is.

Hsggkfjk um..yeah. That's.. Personally how things are going to make sense for me. Unless the author has some more plot plots they hid to overturn everything and prove what I felt about this character is wrong. I'm pretty confident about reading character emotions though. Those are things I end up getting right with pretty good accuracy.

hi! can u do a ler adrien and lee nino OR a lee adrien and a ler luka, its totally fine with whatever! also if u may can u do it with raspberries?

There it is! Hope u like it!!!! 💛💛

What was that?

Lee: Adrien Agrest

Ler: Luka Couffaine

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡

Ships: a little Lukadrien if you want to

Warnings: This is a tickle fic, if you don’t like it, just scroll down

This fanfic is originally in Portuguese, my English is translated using an automatic translator, if there are any big errors you can tell me so I can fix them

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡

“Adrien~” Luka hummed “I’m going to find you”

Adrien laughed ‘no you won’t’ he thought, but deep down he was very embarrassed and felt butterflies in his stomach

But let’s see how this happened

What happened is that Luka was tickling Adrien when he decided to try something new

He lifted the boy’s shirt and released a big raspberry

Adrien screamed and simply squealed, you know the sound a pig makes? So. He squealed

“What was that?” Luka asked smiling

Adrien felt his heart vibrate, he jumped up and ran away before he could no longer escape

And that's why Luka is chasing Adrien

"Show yourself, Adrien, before I have to find you"

Luka had actually already seen where Adrien had run to, he just wanted to play a little

The blond was behind the couch

"I'll find you~" the blue-haired one laughed, approaching the couch to pounce

Adrien was laughing softly

"I found you!" Luka pulled the other boy by the legs off the couch

"NOHOHO LUHUKAHA" Adrien begged as Luka was about to start giving raspberries again

"But why? Your smile and laughter are so beautiful”

Adrien blushed “PLEHEHEHEASHE”

Luka ignored him, blew a raspberry on his friend’s belly, Adrien let out another long-awaited squeak

“*snort* NOHOHOHO *snort*”

Luka laughed, he let out another raspberry, making the blond laugh out loud, and then let him go

“I’m sorry, did I finish you?”

Adrien didn’t answer, but the answer was obvious

“You’re just so cute that I couldn’t help but try to make you squeak again” Luka laughed, he found his friend’s expression very funny

Adrien stuck his tongue out “bleh”

Luka laughed more

Adrien started laughing too

Then in a minute the two were falling out laughing together, simply because each other’s presence made them want to laugh

That was very cozy

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🧡

Thanks for reading 💛💛

Re describing the issue with the romance:

They turned a will they/won't they into a should they/shouldn't they? It's a surprisingly (depressingly) common issue in Western media where shows get picked up for more seasons than planned and the writers then have to pad a 2-season story into an x-season story.

Most of the square's issues come from 4 seasons of status-quo where the writers were too afraid to positivly develop that relationship for fear of making it too hard to avoid a romantic relationship/identity reveal, so instead they kept the square from getting all that close by any means necessary, but also never let those obstacles be too big. It's why the alternate love interests aren't treated as a true threat or meaningfully developed. Because you're not supposed to ship the alternate pairings. They're just obstacles to draw out the end game, which is all very dumb for a show whose main plot is not the romance.

Alya and Nino show how an established couple doesn't kill fan interest. But then, the Gabriel plot was not suited to 5 seasons (3 is the max, imo) and that's much harder to pad out, so maybe it's no wonder that they went for cheap drama that killed their main romance by introducing so my toxicity that they shouldn't be together in canon.

I still ship them, but only in fanon where they're allowed to get to know each other and actually be friends because fanfics don't need to pad things out for the sake of profits. It's one of the things I love about fan content.

-MiraculousLBCNreactions (sorry, can't do asks from sideblogs)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ U have The Words

[aihoshiino]

okay so no idea how i should refer to myself as so: hi!! im the person who had way too much fun writing ai/nino toxic yuri on ao3! i was gonna just lurk (me, tumblr account with privated likes, reblogs and follows) BUT how could i with the promise of people being normal about fictional unhealthy gay women. idk if this is the optimal way to communicate i use tumblr with the sole purpose of following 4 people and digging up ai content

i am honestly so flattered (but also kinda upset at the lack of content on them aside from my own 1k word long oneshot please keep recommending if you find more stuff on them) that you enjoyed and recommended my fics considering i just straight up had no clue where i was going: okay so top priority i want them to kiss —> but also with how things are nino would probably lash out (read: bite) —> ai would be hesitant but also is so desperate that she’d still accept it happily —> this will fuel ninos idea of ai being the perfect, invincible idol —> and then i ran and tried not to trip with the rest

your translations of the side stories and blog was probably what helped me get in to oshi no ko again because even though i am still not over ai being dead i can now listen to someone talk about how great and tragic and sad and miserable she was along with all the other characters so thank you again!

also that ask for ai/nino toxic yuri visions was me lol, thanks for talking about my fic despite how short it was <3, i might de-anon myself at some point but rn im too shy for that

woof, this got a bit long. anyways love wins fr, if there was ever a day where i participate in an onk shipping war it’ll be on the side of them

LMFAO OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY TO HAVE JUMPSCARED YOU WITH YOUR OWN FIC 😭 WHAT A THING TO SEE ON YOUR OWN DASH....

that said it does make me so happy every time I hear people saying my relentless oshi no posting stands out to them to the degree that it does lol. I guess I'm in a similar place as you where, as happy as I am for it, it does make me a little sad that it feels like there's such little fan interest in lengthy meta and discussion on Ai herself outside of some really banal, surface level stuff. To a degree, I get that with other characters having so much more time on the page and having ongoing arcs to speculate about, but Ai is sooooooooo fascinating to me and it really drives me insane how often I see people make zero effort to engage with her arc beyond her utilitarian function in the story. It also really bums me out how often I see her get reduced to just a stepping stone in the arcs of other characters — even though the manga is literally shaking you right now and begging you to understand and empathize with her more than ever, I straight up see people cheering and crowing about Ruby 'surpassing' her or 'becoming the true Ai' as if this is a good thing and they are not completely fucking missing the point lmao.

ANYWAY!!!! That's enough grumping because the actual point of this response was to say: the Ai posting will continue until I am physically forced to stop!!!! I have so many thoughts about my wife constantly and if I do not share them I will explode!!!

(ps anon pspspspsp if you are ever feeling brave enough to unanon pls feel free to just send me your discord or your socmeds off tumblr if that is less intimidating for u.... honestly that goes for all my oshi no moots in general Please Talk With Me In DMs About My Wife)

[hamable]

Thoughts while watching the new miraculous movie cuz I’m three minutes in and can already TELL I’m gonna be losing my mind:

Spoilers under cut obv

Daddy no :( you can’t take me to school tomorrow with fresh baked goods for my whole class :( that’s so embarrassing :( what would they THINK ?!?!

Marinette: I want a better life (beautiful, picturesque Paris, apartment above your parents bakery, heading to a fancy school) cause I’m so clumsy???

Me: GIRLY ILL SWAP WITH YOU???

God I saw stuff about the singing voice and it’s so tonally and stylistically different from Christina Vee’s VAing that I can’t take it seriously. The singer isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s so clearly a different person.

Aside from the im loving the animation so far. It’s so cool seeing these character I’ve known since like 2017 in a new, more polished style.

Goddamnit we’re still making popular girl no carbs jokes???

DAMN ALYA THATS COLD (oh sorry, do I need to take a number behind the line of friends coming to your rescue?) LIKE YOUVE HAD ONE LINE SO FAR.

Chloe going about this bully/rival thing reeaallll fruity

Emo Adrien just trying to listen to MCR and tune out the normies that just don’t get it 😡😭

NINO BEST BRO

EW WHAT HAIR IS THAT GABRIEL

Nooroo called them the ladybug and chat noir miraculouses, but shouldn’t it be the ladybug and black cat miraculous? I thought they chose their names for themselves, ladybug sticking with ladybug, chat noir coming up with his own?

TIKKI IS SO CUTE OMG

This chat noir so silly and goofy

NOT CARELESS WHISPER ARE YOU KIDDING ME. YALL COULDA DONE A BEAUTIFUL ORCHESTRAL SWELL AND YOU PICK C A R E L E S S W H I S P E R?!?!?!?!

Btw why did Marinette prove her worth while adrien was just like. Doing hw. It’s easy to prove you can use the ladybug for good. Show me why he was chosen to use destruction for good. That’d be so interesting.

PUSS IN BOOTS

Plagg take an antacid plz

SHE THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW

Pop off hawk moth villain song honestly, best one so far

OK HAWKMOTH SING

Nino Dr. Love omg my favorite guy

Golden rule: always stay cool… (voice immediately shoots up an octave when Alya speaks to him)

That’s NOT HOW ROLLERCOASTERS WORK

That’s gotta be at least a few casualties

ASHDJFJF Catches Chloe from a deadly fall only to redirect and chuck her HARDER into a dumpster

Chloe you gotta stop giving off repressed fruity vibes

This movie has not established enough of a connection between marinette and adrien to justify ladybug rejecting chat noir (on the basis of loving someone else, I mean, not that she can’t reject him at all)

Plagg? Not the time.

WTF HAPPENED TO YOU GABRIEL?!?! DID YOU GO ON A BENDER?!?!

The movie has not established enough, if any, disconnect between adrien and gabriel. I love seeing adrien stand up for himself, but it feels kinda weird

LMAO HES LIKE BOUNCING IN PLACE WITH ANGER DONT MAKE ME LAUGH

Adrien with headphones is so fucking funny to me. Head down shoulders hunched, listen to welcome to Nightvale cause no one else gets it

Chloe. Every. God. Every word out of your mouth is so fruity. “There is someone else. And she’s right in front of you.” Someone else for who, Chloe?? For marinette?? I better you’re hoping she thinks you mean u and her huh?

Crush likes someone else. Life not worthy living. Dreams not worth pursuing.

All these songs run together. Except hawkmoths. His kicked ass.

Jesus Christ it’s Armageddon

STOP WITH THE FUCKING CARELESS WHISPER

HAS HE BEEN LISTENING TO CARELESS WHISPER THE WHOLE TIME?!?! THIS FUCKING LOSER OH MY GOD

Ladybug out here in YOUR FATHERS APOCALYPSE and you’re MOPING IN YOUR FANCY HOUSE

It’s the end of the world are you really gonna be salty rn?!?!

Ew why it’s the cataclysm like. An oil slick?!

Oh shit he dead

Oh he super dead

From the top of the Eiffel Tower? Into water?? You’re dead.

WHERE IS THE LAVA COMING FROM?!

SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE THE FORCE HAWKMOTH?!

Damn show hawkmoth could never.

Jesus fucking razor winged butterflies

Movie says fuck sentimonster adrien here’s Emilie pregnant

Anyways uh you killed and displaced likely hundreds of citizens so get ready for a lifetime in prison, hawky

OH I FORGOT ABOUT MIRACULOUS LADYBUG LMAO WERE GOOD ACTUALLY

Ok you placed the rubble back together but a bunch of people are still probably dead right

Ya Chloe make a quick exit bc of that gay crisis you’re having. Next year? Back to bullying. What was this year Chloe? Hm?

Overall: cool animation and effects, nostalgic for early lady noir dynamic, writer brain is itching for what could’ve been, but otherwise it is what it is, prob won’t watch it again.

EDIT: SHE DISNT DO MIRACULOUS LADYBUG UNTIL THE END RIGHT???? LIKE AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF HEROING??? SO ALL THE SHIT AT THE FAIR. JUST HAPPENED. YOU CANT TELL ME THERE ARENT LIKE. DEAD BODIES. I DONT THINK SHE KNEW SHE COULD FIX IT RIGHT??? PEOPLE DIED. YOU DESTROYED A CHUNK OF A CITY GABRIEL.

[literaphobe]

YES MAKE THAT BOY A SMOKING ADDICT . After Nathalie leaves with her now wife to London and decides to leave him on his own ( it makes sense ! ) he doesn’t feel right about keeping all the money because it’s dirty money to him so he donates most of it to several charities ( and some people would think he’s stupid for doing so but ..the trauma ) and he has just enough to buy a little apartment and he has to find a job to make it through the week ( he almost went homeless at some point ) and his hair has grown longer and it fits him and he’s so stressed he just needs some cigarettes you know ! A lot of his money goes to Plagg’s camembert because he feels bad about starving him with plain old cheese and the rent is though . He’s still traumatized from the death of his two abusive parents ( amongst other things ) and he wishes he could’ve been more loved and now he never will because they’re dead :(

Anyways he has his friends and things changed after all the lies and stuff but he still loves them very much and they grow closer somehow and Mari and my son get back together eventually ( it won’t be until they’re on the last year of high school- SPECIFICALLY)

Yeah I got a whole scenario from that

ok u know what if Natalie left him after ALL THAT i do think his life would get fucked up 😭😭 idt she would but hey stranger things have happened. idk if he would wind up homeless tho bc his friends are too loving and generous to keep that from happening. unless like. he insisted on it. but also it’d be dangerous bc he’s a celebrity. i do agree that he would try and give as much of his money away. i feel like marinette and nino would be desperately trying to open their homes to adrien if he had no form of accommodation, or if he had to live ALONE i swear nino would get his family to adopt adrien somehow. btw why have we never seen nino’s house. where are nino’s parents. why do i know who mylene’s dad is and know her fucking mom abandoned her but I don’t know who the fuck ninos parents are. it’s not just me fforgoeting right. this is canon information we lack? where does he live. is he rich? is his family working class? do they live in a tree house? why don’t I know these things. why don’t we know more about nino. god fucking damn it sorry to derail but Jesus Christ who is that boy. who made him

Chapter 3

As Adrien stepped out of the car, he took a long breath—

“Hi Adrien!”

The boy jumped as a girl he had never seen, or at least ever noticed in the school, stepped next to him, almost yelling next to his ear.

“U-Um, hiii?” he responded tentatively.

“Here!” She pushed a box of chocolates into his arms. “Wanna go out sometime?”

Adrien blinked. “Who even are you?”

“Oh! Sorry, I’m Robin. Nice to officially meet you!” she gave him the biggest grin he had ever seen on a person. It was almost disturbing. “So, would you like to go out sometime, now that you know who I am?”

“I-I still don’t know who you are,” Adrien said, taking a step away, while at the same time attempting to offer the chocolates back. “Sooo, that would be a no. Sorry.”

“Ah.” The girl snapped her fingers. “Oh well, can’t blame a girl for trying. You can keep the chocolates, though. It’ll give you energy for what’s coming today. Nice to meet ya!”

As suddenly as she had appeared, she was gone, leaving Adrien in a bizarre daze.

“Energy for what?” he muttered to himself.

* * *

Three girls had already confessed their supposed love for him before he got to his locker that morning. Suddenly, he understood perfectly what that girl with the chocolates warned him about. He was taking his books and putting away said chocolates, when Nino elbowed him on his bicep.

“Yo, man,” he greeted. “How you doing today?”

“Dreading,” Adrien responded with wide eyes. “It’s gonna be worse today. I can feel it in my bones.”

“Are those chocolates?” Nino asked.

“Yep,” he responded, opening the box. “You want some? I’ve already eaten like five, so they might be gone by lunchtime.”

As Adrien was about to bite into another chocolate, Nino grabbed his hand, pulling it away from his mouth.

“Adrien,” he spoke slowly, “there are seven empty spots in that box. You’ve eaten more than half of that box before our first class.”

“Really?” Adrien looked at the box. And confirmed that he had, indeed, already devoured more than half of the sweets. “Huh, would you look at that.”

Nino shook his friend’s hand enough to make him drop the chocolate. Once back in the box, he closed it and hid it in his own locker.

“Those are not the eating habits of someone who’s okay,” he scolded.

“It’s fine.” Adrien waved a hand. “This girl called Robert—wait, no—Robin, she gave me chocolates, because she thought it would make me go out with her, but when I said no, she told me to keep the chocolates, because I would need them, and then like three more girls told me they love me, and I had to turned them down, and—Did you know how hard it is to turn down girls left and right? And did you know that there’s like a bazillion girls in this school that I didn’t even know existed? And did—”

“Okay, stop.” Nino slightly lifted his cap to scratch his head. “Jeez, how much sugar are in those?”

“I dunno, but I feel like I can overrun the world right now,” Adrien admitted.

“I noticed.” Nino sighed. “So, did you talk with your girl?”

“Yes!” Adrien responded, eyes practically bulging out of his eye sockets. “She did not confess after all, so I’m safe. And there’s still a good chance she might confess today.”

“Alright, dude!” Nino palmed Adrien on the back. “At least that’s some good—”

“Excuse me,” someone interrupted. Both Adrien and Nino turned to see Christie from the fanclub. “Hi, Adrien, can I talk to you?”

“Yeah, sure, what’s up?” He slammed his locker closed, making all three of them jump. Yet, he barely noticed.

“Alone,” she emphasized, throwing a glance at Nino. Adrien shrugged.

“Fine,” Nino proceeded to close his own locker. “Don’t do anything stupid while I’m not around.”

“I’m not stupid, you’re stupid.” Adrien responded without thinking. Nino gave him a deadpan look, to which he responded with a wince. “Noted. I’ll try.”

“I’ll catch you in class then,” Nino said, giving his best friend a fist bump. Once out of the room, Adrien turned back to Christie.

“Everything okay?” he rushed to say.

“I, um, I messed up yesterday,” she said.

“Oh, hey, don’t worry about it. We all make—”

“I gave you the wrong thing,” she interrupted.

Adrien blinked. “Come again?”

“Here!” she expressed, taking out a letter from her bag and almost shoving it to his chest. “This was the right gift! Sorry, I was just so nervous yesterday that I forgot to bring it. This is for you!”

“Uuh.” Adrien looked down at the folded paper. And back at Christie.

Was she trying again? That could not be happening. Could it? He hesitantly took the letter and opened it. It was, indeed, what he feared: a confession. But in the written form, this time.

“Christie,” he started, attempting to slowly fold back the letter, “I already said no to you yesterday. I’m not gonna change my mind from one day to the other. Sorry.”

“Oh, okay.” She snatched the paper, before murmuring: “Okay, so it’s not a letter.”

“Huh?!”

Did I hear that right? He thought, alarms going off in his sugar induced adrenaline state. Before he could coherently question her any further, she was walking away, leaving Adrien with newfound concerns for the day.

* * *

Thirteen. Thirteen girls had confessed before lunchtime. seven of them had already confessed the day before, but brought a different ‘gift’ this time. What was worse, it almost seemed like they were planning it as a group. Like somewhere in the school, someone had a list and was crossing off whatever he rejected, until they found the thing he was supposed to get from the love of his life. What else could the diversity of the gifts be explained? Of course, no one would ever figure it out, but the mere fact that they were trying was downright scary.

“Please, make it stop,” Adrien whined as the classroom emptied out, head lying on his desk, wishing he could have the chocolates Nino took away that morning. “This is so emotionally draining.”

“I know how that feels,” Marinette muttered behind him.

“Really?” he asked, turning around to look at her.

The girl’s lips immediately pressed into a line, as if what she said hadn’t been meant to be heard by him.

“I-I mean, not at this level,” she attempted to correct. “This is sooo over the top.”

“Buuut?” Adrien pressed, gesturing her to take Nino’s empty seat, its owner currently standing next to Alya showing her something on his phone. Marinette sighed, as she slid off her desk to join him.

“It’s no big deal,” she said. “Just a friend who basically asks me out every day. But at least he’s not actively trying to deceive me like these girls. This is awful.”

“Yeah. Huh.” Adrien stared at Marinette. Was she talking about Luka? He thought they were a thing. Even more interesting, was it really so bothersome when someone asked for a date every day? This definitely called for some soul-searching.

“What?” she asked in a nervous tone.

“Sorry, I just didn’t know you were single.”

Wait, that was not what I meant to say, Adrien immediately thought, mentally smacking himself on the face. What was worse, Marinette got jumpy by his dumb comment.

“Not, bah, haha,” she nervously laughed, flailing her arms. “You thought, not that it’s bad, I mean, why-why did you think I wasn’t single?”

“Sorry!” Adrien shot up on his chair. “I made an assumption, with you and Luka, that’s my bad. Sorry, it wasn’t even what I wanted to say to you.”

“Right, Luka, no, he and I are just friends.”

“Ah, okay.” He gulped, afraid of saying something stupid again.

“What did you want to say, though?” Marinette asked.

“Me? Oh, right! I was curious about—Hey, where are you two going?” Adrien interrupted himself when he noticed Alya and Nino sneaking out of the classroom, already halfway out the door.

“Just some stuff we gotta do,” Alya quickly responded, pushing Nino out, only to be bumped back in by Alix.

“Hey, Adrien, I have something for you,” she said.

“Oh no, not you too,” Adrien whined.

“What? Ew, no,” Alix shook her head. She then placed a small package on his desk. “This is from Christie, from your fanclub. She says it’s for you.”

“This is the second time today!” he practically screeched.

“Guess she thought third time’s a charm,” she shrugged.

“How about no time’s a charm. It’s just downright annoying at this point. Please take it back to her.”

“You do it,” Alix shot back. “I didn’t get myself into this mess.”

“I didn’t ask for this mess,” Adrien retorted. “Any normal person would’ve respected the fact that I’m basically already taken and would’ve allowed the girl I actually love to confess in peace. But instead, they decided it was an opportunity for themselves and made it ten times harder for her to confess, in fear that she’ll get lost in confession number thirty-seven. If she wants the decency of me going myself, she should have the decency to stop trying altogether.”

Adrien let out a frustrated breath. It wasn’t until he noticed everyone’s faces staring at him that he realized he might had been holding in more than he thought. And let it out a little louder than intended.

“Okaaay,” Alix said, slowly taking back the gift. “I’ll give this back to Christie. Maybe teach her a little bit about respect in the process.”

“Wait, no, you don’t have—”

“Nah, man, it’s cool.” Alix shrugged, followed by a wicked grin. “It’s been a while since I spread some respect juice around here.”

Before Adrien could say anything else, Alix had run off. A little too excited for his liking.

“Please tell me I didn’t just create an akuma,” he loudly said.

“On it!” With that, Marinette dashed out the door, with that fierce look of determination of class president. Almost immediately followed by Alya.

Adrien groaned. “This is a disaster. Why did I have to open my big mouth? All I had to do was keep quiet and wait for her to confess.”

“Yo, man, don’t beat yourself up,” Nino attempted to comfort, sitting next to him. “You had a point earlier. This whole situation is totally uncool.”

“I still think I could’ve said it a little better.”

“Nah, you said it perfectly,” Nino chuckled. Adrien sighed, as there was a beep from Nino’s phone. “Sweet. Crisis averted. Marinette did her magic and Christie is not an akuma.”

“Thank goodness,” Adrien breathed. Then proceeded to lightly chuckle. “Everyday Ladybug, indeed.”

“Yup.” Nino placed his feet on the desk. “Marinette is pretty amazing, isn’t she?”

“She really is,” he agreed, finally feeling relaxed enough to sit back.

“Man, can you imagine… Nah.” Nino waved a hand in dismissal.

“What?”

“Crazy thought, that’s all.”

“Now you got me curious.”

“Nah, dude, it was just a dumb thought.” Nino chuckled. “Like, can you imagine if a girl like Marinette also wanted to confess some undying love for you? Who would rescue us from that one?”

Adrien raised a brow. “That is a weird thought. But I don’t think we have to worry about that.”

“What makes you so sure?” Nino shrugged.

“Because, she’s Marinette. She’d never follow the crowd like that. Plus, she’s my friend, and she knows how messed up this whole situation is for me. She’d never do that to me. Besides, if she were to have some undying love for me, I already know her thoughts on the matter. Heck, she was the one who—”

—suggested that my true love would wait for the right moment, he finished in his head. Could she… No, this is Nino putting stuff in my head. Right? Although...

“The one who what?” his best friend asked.

“Nino,” Adrien said out loud. The one called hummed. “I need a favor from you and Alya, and no one else can know. Absolutely no one.”

“Sounds serious,” Nino commented, taking his feet off the desk and sitting straight. “What is it?”

“I need you two to make a list of every girl in the school and mark the ones who have already confessed to me.”

“Okay? Tryna narrow it down?”

“Yes. The sooner I find her, the sooner this is over.”

“Okay. What does this have to do with Marinette?”

“Huh?”

“Well, you came up with the idea while talking about her,” Nino pointed out. “Sorry, thought there was a connection, bro.”

“W-Well, um...” Adrien hesitated. “You just, uh, reminded me of something she said yesterday. And I realize there’s probably no chance the girl I love has even tried asking me out. And I know she’s not fickle, so I want to make things easier for her. If I have a better idea on who’s already a no, maybe I can have a better idea of who she is and save her the trouble.”

“Hmm.” Nino rubbed his chin. “How convenient that Marinette is one of the people who hasn’t asked you out yet. And the idea comes from her words. Hmm, very interesting indeed.”

“You think it’s Marinette?” Adrien said, sarcastically. Yet, with a little twinge in his heart.

“Hey, who knows. But wouldn’t that be neat.”

“Yeah,” Adrien chuckled. Though it wasn’t as funny as he was pretending it was.

Marinette did posses a lot of Ladybug’s attributes. So much so, he himself started calling her as such. She was also probably one of the first people to find out what half of the girls in the school were doing, automatically making her less likely to even think about being part of the problem. Though...

Could he really be so lucky?

Oh, come on, it’s just Chat, she attempted to psyche herself up. And yet, the very real possibility that it was Adrien crossed her mind again. She groaned, right before giving herself a shake and leaping towards her partner. The second she landed, the boy turned towards her.

* * *

Ladybug looked at Chat Noir from afar, debating on whether to skip patrol. She felt like a coward, but she also hadn’t expected a girl with a freaking pony to serenade her love for Adrien. After that bit, she simply lost any residue of courage.

“Hey,” Chat Noir said in what sounded like a cautious tone.

“Hi,” she responded, swallowing a large gulp.

“Any luck today?” he asked.

Ladybug sighed, sitting next to him. “Zero luck. Still no confession.”

“Okay, good, good,” he said with noticeable relief, oddly giving her comfort. “That means there’s still a chance.”

“Mhm.” Ladybug nodded.

“Well,” he started, hands fiddling together, “since we’re here, there’s something I wanted to say.”

“Okay? What is it?”

“I’m sorry.”

Ladybug frowned, looking at her partner. Did she miss something? “What are you sorry about? Isn’t me the one who should be apologizing for not confessing to the guy I love?”

“I’m sorry for being so pushy every time I made romantic advances on you,” he cleared up.

“Oh,” she uttered, brows moving up to her hairline. “What brought this on?”

“I may have gotten a little karma over that these last couple of days,” Chat Noir said, as he cringed. “And something a friend said kinda forced me to do a little soul-searching today. And I realized my behavior may not be the most stellar, meaning the most mature, so I wanted to apologize for it. I’m sorry, Ladybug.”

“Oh. Wow.” Ladybug tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “That’s very nice of you Chat Noir. Thank you. It means a lot coming from you. Though, honestly, you’re not so bad. I’ve seen worse. At least you’ve always been clear where you stand and don’t try to deceive me into being with you. Unlike other people.” She muttered the last sentence.

“Other... people?” Chat Noir leaned slightly closer, fake ears perked up.

“It’s a long story,” Ladybug dodged to respond. “If it all works out like you think it will, then I might not have to tell you.”

“Oh, you still don’t think it’ll turn out with me being the love of your life?” he purred.

“I-I don’t know,” she admitted, holding her arm.

Chat Noir’s expression sobered. “LB, I was just teasing. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“Ohnono, I’m not upset!” Ladybug’s arms flailed. “I was just—It’s just that it’s been a weird couple of days. I honestly don’t know what to think anymore. And I’m so scared to confess now. What if you’re wrong, and you’re not the same guy?”

“Well, if that happens—”

“What if he rejects me, has no idea what I’m talking about, takes one look at the packaging and says my design is stupid—”

“That sounds a little—”

“—and then he laughs at me--”

“I’m sure he—”

“--and the school laughs at me—”

“What?”

“—and I’ll grow and die alone in a tiny house full of hamsters—”

“Marinette, calm down! I’m sure everything will be fine.”

“Eep!” Ladybug jumped about a foot high. “Wah, who-what-who’s that? Did you just call me Marinette?”

“Huh?” Chat Noir straightened up. “No, I-I… Wait, did I?” Ladybug slowly nodded. “Sorry! That was,” he laughed, though it almost sounded nervous, “sorry, you just reminded me of her for a second there. She has a tendency to freak out and blow things out of proportion before settling down.”

“Ho-How would you know that?”

“Uuh.” Chat Noir scratched the back of his head. “The incident with her dad. Plus, Al—uh, the Ladyblogger tells me things.”

“Ah,” Ladybug sighed, slightly relieved. “Right, Weredad.”

“Yeah…” He cleared his throat. “Anyway, Ladybug, I’m sure everything will be fine. Besides, if he turned you down, you know who to come to ask to kick his butt.”

“Chat!” Ladybug giggled. “Okay, that did help. Thanks.”

“Anytime, Bugaboo,” Chat Noir proudly proclaimed.

Ladybug continued smiling to herself, thought still thinking about what just happened. She glanced at him for a moment, debating on whether to make the question or not. Just one small question that was now quickly eating away at her.

“Chat Noir,” she said at last, “what if... um, what if, let’s say you’re right—”

“Yeees?” said boy leaned towards her. She gave him a deadpan look, making him back away with a light laugh.

“Let’s say you’re right,” she repeated, face slightly warm, “that it turns out that you’re the guy I like; what would happen if it turns out that you’ve already rejected me, sometime in the past?”

Chat Noir blinked owlishly. He opened his mouth, but made no sound. It then opened wider as he loudly gasped.

“I thought you said you haven’t confessed!”

“I haven’t!” she cleared up. “I’m not saying these days, but like, maybe a few weeks ago? Before we made the deal?”

“I’m confused. If you haven’t confessed to the guy you love, then I don’t see how I could have rejected you. Unless...” He squinted at her. “I did once get confessed to as Chat Noir.”

“J-Just once?” Ladybug stammered. “I-I mean, it’s just a hypothetical. And what if I confess, get rejected, and decide to try again? And it’s you? What would you do?”

Chat Noir continued piercing her gaze at her, analysing what she was asking. Ladybug fiddled her fingers together, hoping he hadn’t just picked up her identity. As she started bitting her lip, he smirked.

“Now I’m even more convinced I’m the guy you love,” he said. “But to answer your question, it will depend on who it is. And the circumstances. But if it’s you, I’ll probably apologize for rejecting you for, well, you. Thought I’ve always known where you stand on your feelings about me, so I don’t think we have to worry about that.”

“Right.” Ladybug let out a nervous laugh. “You’re right. Anyway, we should get going, before it gets dark.”

“Good call.”

Chat Noir stood up to ready himself for patrol. As they both left the rooftop, Ladybug continued wondering. Wondering about the chances that he could really be Adrien. Wondering about whether they would have to have an awkward conversation about him turning her down, and how she hadn’t actually meant it that time. Wondering about how close he was to her civilian identity. Close enough that he would confuse her name with her real name.

[cloudsthatglowinthenightsky]

ok first chapter.

-no yeah bbygirl u cannot infact prepare for ALL possibilities that's not actually possible

-ok so the miraculouse?s?i? definitely fucked him up a bit more but also. he was way fucked up even before that. like it definitely worsened his mental state but he was trying to bring back his dead wife that he kept in his basement through magical terrorism so. it was already bad like

-i 100 believe the senti theory and like it actually seems pretty incharacter but like. still astounds me how adoption was in fact NOT the first instinct but instead "magical child"

-yeah chat was already shitty before the reveal bc like. his dad???? he was breaking down and then it somehow got SO MUCH WORSE

-no cause the whole taking wedding bands with miraculous thing actually makes sense. 0 leaps of logic there. sorry i just love these small details -well nice to know he cares (???) about adrien i guess...

-seriously WHY GIVE SO MANY INFORMATIVE INTERVIEWS i understand she is your best friend but cmon bro

-god this hurts so much worse knowing that marinette is going THROUGH it but adrien is like. going through it x10

-never like the "didn't realise i was crying" thing cause how/??? but i get it for this one. ur having a panic attack probably. it's cool.

-yeah no u kinda suck for the whole humanity thing like no blame!!! just a passing thought but also. when the connotation of humanity is in fact personhood..... yeahhhhhh like it SHOULDN'T BE but YEAHHHH

-big fan of the bugette mention and subsequent mentions like yeah that's something they would totally think about!!!

-adrien is literally so sad like as a character like what the fuck you know

-also side rant but SCREW EVERYONE THAT SAYS THE ABUSE PLOTLINE IS INVALIDATED BY THE SENTI THEORY ACTUALLY IT ADDS ONTO IT BC IT'S A PERFECT METAPHOR FOR HOW ABUSERS CONTROL THEIR VICTIMS AND HOW IT FEELS LIKE U CAN'T ESCAPE AND THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ALLPOWERING THAT STOPS YOU FROM DISOBEYING EVEN WHEN YOU KNOW IN YOUR MIND sorry i just hate everyone that has ever said that. fuck u actually

-very real reaction. immediately swing over there like yeah fr

-"careful with her words" FORESHADOWING...

-you're so lucky you said her name bc if you hadn't she probably would have actually like collapsed to the floor bro

-"took care of it" EVERY INSTANCE OF DEHUMMANIZATIION IN THIS FIC JUST MAKES ME SO SO MAD..... LIKE AND THAT'S THE POINT SO IT MAKES SENSE BUT STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD FUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!

-also having the emotions about dehumanization and also the inside knowleedge about chat noir but also THE HTINGS HE SAYS. rips me apart on another level bc 1. the fucking things he says about himself oh my god get a hug pls 2. his friends instantly being like no actually WRONG but also 3.?????? the way they hate him for it so much?????? bc like i understand completely i would react in the exacct same way its' just!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SO SAD LIKE. EVERY PART OF THIS FIC IS SO SAD

-yes bring up chloe!!!!

-the social media hate is so funny in this but also so.... !?!??!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

-nino this is quite literally the worst time to be going on twitter are you fucking

-like i get it but also. AHHHH

-no but jean's right tho the feather thing is hilarious

-this is so funny bc it's exactly how twitter would act. i don't even use twitter but i know. yes the simps would do this

-it is a nightmare but i would be taking u a lot more seriously if you weren't named "adrien's bae"

why is good!gabriel actually so scary 😭 holy shit that’s terrifying wtf is that haircut

miraculous🎶 fear is a cage 🎶 TURN THAT SHIT UPPPP 📢📢📢 no but actually wtffffff

i appreciate the news lady giving a brief overview of what’s happened since i last watched this show idk what’s going on thank u miss girl

PLAGG I LOVE YOU I MISSED YOU SO MUCH OH MY GOD I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM HOLY SHITTTTTT

is it still a thing in the fandom to talk about ladybug and chat noir as dual/opposities bc i’m obsessed w that you can’t have one without the other. CREATION AND DESTRUCTION BABEYYYY

alya and marinette i see u

no i’m actually so glad hawkmoth’s got the other kwamis tbh it was better when it was just the two of them as heroes i don’t give a shit about the other heroes lb and cn are best as a duo this show got worse when they brought the other guys in i am Always thinking of 2016 when we only knew of the other 5 miraculouses that’s all there should be. should i make a post about this

not emo chat beng homophobic 😭 but ladybug’s design slaps omg

it’s actually really interesting to see good!hawkmoth’s powers like how the miraculous is actually supposed to be used

i watched some video back in 2016 that commented on how the ml animation always looks so good in night scenes and tbh that holds true

i love emo chat just going ham on the cataclysm that’s such a slay OMG HE MADE A DESTRUCTION BALL

come on marinette transform u have a duty to do

wait how come chat can do cataclysms multiple times without detransforming when did that become a thing

tikki dropping knowledge a queen as always. thank you for explaining but that explanation is also dumb as shit. wdym there’s a failsafe for being young and being evil overrides that

EMO CHAT HAS NUNCHUCKS?????????

emo lb’s lucky charm being a car why is that actually hysterical

ADRUEN HIIII BABY it’s so nice to see a chat who has actually good hair. like what is that green floof i’m sorry that’s ugly as shit. it’s not growing on me

WAIT did normal lb get a suit makeover??? it slaps ngl omg. n evil lb is so cute

A ROCKET LAUNCHER 😭😭😭 WHAT IS GOING ONNNNNN

not adrien w the akuma!trauma omg turning into angel chat blanc i bet mari’s having so much trauma rn too

i love evil lb and chat’s love hate relationship

powered up hawk moth is so effing ugly why did they make the decision to do that

ITS A GOOD THING I STILL HAVE A BRAIN AND A LEAD HAHAHAAA GIRLY EVIL LB IS HYSTERICAL

is the supreme evil!master fu then

awww shadybug getting sad over marinette having a good life that’s so depressing i’m tearing up omg

wait does good gabriel think evil adrien is dead or something is he a runaway or something

ok if claw noir was ugly then emo adrien was a JUMPSCAREEEEEEEE WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

HOLY SHIT POWERED UP TIKKI AND PLAGG LOOK SO COOL

i was not expecting to get that for a while but ok damn

“get to work mouser” LOL

oh now she’s crying though :( so sad :(

wait how come in the alterntae universe their powers are destroying them how dos that work

chat pulling out the m’lady I SWOONED OH I LOVE THIS BOY

why are they telling us the plan right now instead of just letting it play out

ladyfly’s outfit is SO CUTE THOUHG I LOVE THAT

claw noir calling him your majesty is so funny i love his sass AND CHAT UJUST PUNTING HIM HAHAHAHAAAAA

battle of the puns

HE CUT OFF HIS EAR??????

awww shadybug’s trauma :(((((((

the chats’ fight is the best thing ever omg i love them

CLAW NOIR’S TRAUMA OMG :(((((((((

marinette’s eyes are so fucking big

AW OMG THE ADRIENS BONDING OMG ADRIEN BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY BLORBO I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM

HAHA him talking about nino omg this is so sweet

oh!! i love how shadybug was the one to do the miraculous cure that’s so nice omg wait i’m tearing up

wait why does reformed!claw noir have an even worse outfit than he had before how did that happen

oh no now hawk moth realizes he has the ability to go across universes that’s unfortunate

i loveeee that montage omg ARE THOSE LESBIANS

WAS THAT A PV SHOUTOUT W THE ANIME OR AM I GOING INSANE MIRACULOUS LADYBUG PV MY BELOVED
