Lilia could see Zelda struggling to understand, to a degree not many other people ever had, and she appreciated that, even if she knew it was futile. It was difficult to understand something so strange that you hadn't experienced yourself, especially when it was so difficult to explain, beyond words in so many ways.
Zelda was a good high priestess, Lilia could see that even if the witch herself sometimes had her doubts, questioning herself. She had the care and experience it took to have an entire coven under your leadership, to know that so many young witches looked to you for answers, for guidance. It was those same traits that Lilia knew were making Zelda so wishful to help her, to ease some of her struggles.
But it was beyond the woman's reach.
"PTSD has a cause, it has a cure, this is..." Lilia sighed, shaking her head. "Most people don't realise this, but the flow of time; it's an illusion. Centuries ago, my maestra in Sicily, she told me that it was a gift, that it was meant for something, that I was meant for something. 'My task is to see'," she quoted, throwing up her arms in a shrug, as clueless about the advice as she had been over four centuries ago. "She just never made it clear what I was supposed to be seeing."
Lilia smiled in appreciation at the pouring of drinks-- a familiar sight, and Zelda's offerings were far from cheap--as well as the offering of help.
Tumblr media
"Just don't treat me as if I'm batty when it happens," she suggested wryly. "That usually helps."
Tumblr media
Zelda silently listened, truly wanting to understand what this witch was against, a witch in her coven. She felt it might be all she really could do to help. By the way Lilia was explaining it sounded like her hopes of finding a solution were slim to none. And Zelda loathed that feeling.
It was just a part of who she was, always seeking answers and solutions so that she couldn't be caught out in the rain when a crisis would occur. Knowledge could keep you safe. It was a trait she unwittingly inspired in her brother. He was the smartest person she knew, and knowledge didn't keep him alive.
"It sounds almost like a.. sort of PTSD," she remarked. But it didn't appear to be doing so much harm to Lilia, which Zelda supposed they should all be grateful for.
She nodded her head, recognizing how being around their coven could create more moments, more flashes for the divination witch, being surrounded by so many lives she may or may not be able to affect.
Zelda sighed at the reassurance and decided to do what very little she could and stood, walking over to pour them both a stiff drink.
"I don't fully believe that it is fine. But it's not happening to me, so..." She trailed off with a shrug. "Is there anything I can do?"

You still can't believe it. 
What have you ever done to deserve this?
The image of Soobin leaving with that short-haired girl, with the most adorable smile plastered on his face and his ears slightly tinted red, still plagues your mind like a curse you can't escape from.
You should've known! The second Kai called and told you he was sick and wouldn't be able to make it to the restaurant tonight, you should've taken that as a clear sign from the universe that things were bound to blow up in your face. Why else would your sunshine friend be taken away from you on such a big night?
The worst part is how much effort you put into looking cute. Did you seriously put on the cutest dress you own just to watch as the love of your life slipped between your fingers? Did you really spend almost an hour on your hair and makeup just to be humiliated?
"Earth to Y/N!" Taehyun snaps his fingers in front of you as you stare into the void. "Look, I know things didn't work out the way you thought they would, but you seriously need to snap out of it."
"You wouldn't be saying that if you witnessed the love of your life leaving with the most gorgeous girl you've ever seen," you respond dramatically.
You can't even blame Soobin. Hell, even you would like to get her number and leave this place with her. The girl's stunning.
He stares blankly at you for a few seconds, his eyes not blinking at all, not knowing how to even react to that. After a moment of silence, he finally lets out the deepest of sighs.
"Okay," he grabs one of your hands gently, placing it between both of his, "look at me."
"What?" 
"You don't even know the guy. He's not the love of your life just because he's tall and handsome or whatever." He sounds like he's talking to a child, very patiently explaining something that seems obvious to everyone else but the kid — in this case, you.
"No, you don't get it!" You insist, pouting. "We had a connection!"
"Noona, I love you, you know I do, but you can't assume you're gonna end up with someone just because you dreamed about it once or twice," he sounds almost motherly. It would be funny, if you weren't the one being lectured now. "I dreamed I was dating Sabrina Carpenter the other night. Do you think it was because we're soulmates and we're bound to be together, or because you made me watch every single music video she has ever released in one sitting?" He raises an eyebrow at you. "We eat here every week, so you see him regularly, and obviously he's a good-looking dude, so it makes sense that you'd see him in your dreams. But do you even know anything about this man besides his name?"
You furrow your eyebrows, jutting out your lower lip even more. You know he's right, but you're too stubborn to admit it because you hate it.
Looking around, you can see the guy who hosted the quiz session eating something while two girls in medieval-looking dresses chat him up, a table of five people talking way too loudly, and a few couples at other tables, but most people have already left now that the "big event" is over.
And honestly, what a boring event it was. You didn't know what the hell anyone was talking about, everyone was too loud and overly excited for reasons you couldn't understand, Soobin was constantly in a hurry, and… well, here you are now while he's probably kissing his girl. 
And his girl is not you. 
"Yeah, whatever," you reluctantly give in, folding your arms.
"Good evening," a polite voice chips in, and Taehyun immediately lets go of your hand and leans back on his chair. "I'm Beomgyu! My colleague had to leave a little earlier due to a personal emergency, so I'll be your server for the rest of the night."
You look up at him, trying not to show that your life is currently in shambles.
It's the other waiter, the shortest one among the boys. His eyes are bigger, his brown hair is slightly longer and lighter than Soobin's, his shoulders are not as broad, you can't see any dimples on his cheeks, and his…
"Can I get you anything? Maybe some dessert?" He goes on, unknowingly snapping you out of your sad, pathetic daze.
"Actually, can we get some fries, please? To go, if that's alright," Taehyun answers. "I think we're ready to leave now, but our friend will start World War III if we don't bring her fries."
Beomgyu chuckles politely. "Of course! Anything else?"
"I'd like a shot of vodka," you say, staring into nothing once more, "or ten."
"Oh. Uh, well, the ba–" 
Taehyun clears his throat, interrupting the server.
"She'll have a can of Sprite, please. And a straw."
"But Tyun!" You whine, pouting once again.
"But Y/N!" Your friend mocks you. "You're driving tonight and I'm not about to die in a car crash because of you," he says, more seriously now. "Besides, you don't even like vodka."
"Ugh, fine. A Sprite for me while we wait for those fries, then, please…" You attempt to smile politely at the waiter.
He bites his lips and nods, writes down your order, and then smiles back at you.
"Alright, ma'am, I'll get that right away for you."
"Oh, please don't call me ma'am, it's been enough of a humiliating night for me."
"Um, sorry… Miss?"
You nod at him slowly. "Thank you."
Taehyun also smiles at the boy, but as soon as he's out of earshot, your friend goes back to telling you off.
"Jesus Christ, Y/N," he hisses, "vodka? Really?"
"This is the worst night of my life," you whine. "I deserve some alcohol."
"I can think of at least ten nights that were worse for you than this one," he argues — and, once again, he's right. "You'll survive."
"God, just let me be dramatic for once! Look at me!" Your hands gesture to your own body. "I got all dolled up! And for what?"
"Exactly! You look good as fuck! You shouldn't be suffering right now because of some random dude."
You grunt and support your chin on your palms, your elbows resting on the table. "I hate this."
Yet another sigh escapes from him, but he finally changes his tone back to a more understanding and loving one. "Alright, listen. Do you wanna cancel the sleepover with Chaewon?"
You stare up at him, speechless for a few seconds.
"No! Why would I–"
"Excuse me, sorry," Beomgyu's soft voice interrupts you, placing the can on the table. "Here's your Sprite, and here's your straw. Would you like a glass and some ice?"
"Oh, um– that's okay, I'll just use the straw. We'll probably be leaving before I finish this anyway."
"Alright! Your fries will be here in just a few minutes."
"Thank you, Beomgyu." You offer him another smile, and wait until he's far away before you continue your bickering with your best friend: "Why would I cancel the fucking sleepover? Do you want me to die?"
"Well, I don't know! Like you said, you got all dolled up. We could take you to a party where you can find a random hot stranger to hook up with or something," he states, while opening the can of soda for you. "I'm sure Chae wouldn't be against it, and this way your outfit wouldn't go to waste."
"I don't want a random hot stranger! I just want–“
"Hey, shush," he cuts you off, and it looks like he's about to laugh. "Unless you want all of his coworkers to know you want his dick."
You immediately slap the back of his head. How dare he say that? He winces, but ends up laughing while rubbing the spot you just hit.
"I don't want his dick, I want his heart," you speak almost in a whisper.
"Tomayto-tomahto." Taehyun shrugs and drinks a sip of your soda before giving it to you. 
"Shut up," you mutter, finally grabbing the Sprite. "I fucking hate you."
"I'm sure you do." He hands you the straw, and the smug smile on his face makes you roll your eyes before you take it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hello again!" Beomgyu comes over one last time, just a few minutes after bringing your soda. "Here are your fries." He places a paper bag on the table. "Can I help you with anything else?"
"Oh, it's okay, we'll get going now," you tell him. "Thank you again."
"Alright, you guys have a good night, then!"
"You too." You smile politely at the boy.
After he leaves, you grab your stuff, get up, and follow your friend to the counter. You're about to grab your wallet when Taehyun gestures for you not to. Before you know it, he's already exchanging pleasantries with the cashier and swiping his card, although you agreed to pay for his stuff tonight. It's fine, though. You can always get him some snacks another time to make up for it.
After he's done paying, you text Chaewon to let her know you'll pick her up soon. She asks if you bought the fries she requested, and when you say yes, she just tells you to "hurry up then". 
However, before you reach the door, the server who replaced Soobin intercepts your path.
"Oh, hey, um–" He offers you another paper bag. "Here."
You knit your eyebrows in confusion and exchange a quick look with Taehyun before looking at the boy in front of you again, totally lost.
"Um," you lift the bag you're carrying, "you already g–"
"Oh! No, no. This is for you," he interrupts you to clarify what's happening. "Brownie bites, you know, from the dessert menu. On the house, I mean. Sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything, it's just that you kinda look like you could use a little pick-me-up."
It takes you a beat to get it, but when you do, a smile creeps on your lips.
"Oh." You don't know why he's acting so sweet — do you really look that miserable? —, but the gesture brings you warmth after the bucket of ice-cold water Choi Soobin dumped on your head earlier. So, of course, you accept the little treat. You deserve it, don't you? "That's… very kind of you, actually. Thank you so much." Your voice sounds much sweeter now. "Have a great night, Beomgyu."
He nods, a timid smile appearing on his face. "You too."
As soon as you're out the door, Taehyun puts his hands in his pockets and laughs quietly.
"What is it now?" You bump your shoulder against his. "If you're laughing at how miserable I am right now I'll kill you, I swear."
"It's not that," he says. "But this is kinda funny."
"What's funny? There's not a single thing that happened tonight that was funny," you counter.
He shakes his head.
"Let's buy some ice cream on the way, I'm kinda craving it."
You sigh, but give up easily. "Yeah, okay." He's avoiding your question, but you're not gonna force him to answer it. "But I'm paying."

i can definitely see sabrina having a really big album rollout if she plays her cards right. releasing espresso just before performing at coachella was an extremely smart move from her and her team. so i really hope we get to see more smart decisions like that in the near future.
my advice would be to let espresso marinate more with the general public, maybe let it reach top 5 on the hot 100 or maybe even the number 1 spot. and when it starts to fall out of the top 10 spots (and i'm not talking about those weeks where a big artist releases an album and they occupy all the top spots e.g taylor with ttpd, maybe dua this week, and billie soon with her new album, weeks like these don't count), once they see espresso falling out of the top 10, that's when they should release a new single. cause we want to still have the public's attention when we're releasing our new single okay.
i can see the new single happening in early/mid june. and it should sound completely different from espresso, cause we don't want to bore the public, but it should still be upbeat and easily digestable and also have those playful lyrics that we've grown to love from her.
i don't think there's going to be a third single cause the album is probably going to be short (11 songs maybe), because my girl was busy with eics and the eras tours (but u never know). i can see the album dropping in august, cause her team would want for her to drop it while she still has the public's attention. and it should be accompanied by a single. and for this single we need something that says "I'm here to stay", like that moment when the public think they know exactly what they'll be getting from you, but then you surprise them with something even BETTER. that's the type of single we need.
for the bsides on the album, we need like 2 or 3 bops other than the singles that people would stream the album for, along with some slower tracks with the personal songwriting that we've seen on eics that the people can go back to. i would say take what worked on eics and just keep it up but also switch it up a little, give us something new, sth fresh, sth that would make us think "ooh girl we didn't know you could do this". the album needs to gag the locals. period.
so yeah that's how i can see sabrina playing the long game and truly cementing herself as the next pop girlie. because she's finally found a sound that works for her personally and that she's comfortable with, and at the same time fills a void that pop listeners have been feeling these past few years and makes them want to come back for more.

The Time I Got Reincarnated as an Evil Version of Myself
Chapter 2: Solitude
My AO3 is linked in my bio.
After Catalyst, Chloé’s life only got better. Now a full-time superhero, she managed to finally make new friends, forging bonds with the other members of her team. She’d repaired her relationships with her father and Sabrina, fallen in love, and welcomed a surprise sister with open arms.
Then she wakes up in a world where none of that happened. Where, after Catalyst, she only got worse, and lonelier, and more and more bitter.
The canon timeline, in fact. Or something close to it.
Chloé is the only one who remembers the other world. Her friends hate her, her relationships are destroyed, even her girlfriend has barely ever spoken to her. But that’s okay. Whether good or evil, Chloé Bourgeois has never—and WILL never—let anything stop her.
~
The feeling of Hawkmoth’s touch on her mind is hauntingly, nauseatingly familiar. She can feel him, rooting around in her emotions as if her were taking a shovel to her guts. Everywhere his influence touches, she feels deep, deep hurt well up, hurt that she'd thought long buried. One sickening caress from his tendrils and suddenly she’s five again, watching her mother leave. A flick, and she’s fourteen, seeing Adrien laughing with Nino, with Marinette, with Kagami, with someone else. A menacingly gentle stroke, and she’s eight, smacking Marinette’s macarons to the ground and not understanding why she wants to cry when the other girl bursts into tears.
She’s sixteen, and her mother reveals a whole other daughter who has seen more of Audrey in the last four months than Chloé has in a decade.
She’s ten, and she hasn’t seen her father outside of official functions since her mother left, hoping, hoping that maybe this year her birthday will be something other than empty gifts and strange grown-ups who don’t even look at her.
She’s fifteen, and her father falls silent when she tells him she is in love with a woman. She does not tell her mother.
And all the while, as he’s dredging up her worst memories, her own voice whispers in her ear—alone, alone, I’m alone, I’m all alone. Everybody leaves. They leave because I’m not good enough to make them stay.
It hurts, pushing against that voice, against those memories. Against the certainty that she has been abandoned, again. It’s like the migraine from this morning, only a thousand times sharper, and thousand times hotter, but she has to, she has to push, she has to speak—
“Run,” she snaps at the stunned Marinette, still trembling on the floor across from her. Marinette cannot be here when Chloé transforms. She has no idea what her power will be, but if Marinette gets hit first it’s game over.
”Chloé…?” Marinette says, straightening. Her eyes are full of concern, because of course they are, it’s Marinette, Chloé would expect nothing less, but god damn it the girl needs to be selfish right now and get clear—
“RUN!” Chloé screams, kicking the bathroom door open as best she can from her awkward position on the floor.
She barely manages to hold him off long enough to see Marinette leap to her feet and barrel out of the bathroom. As soon as the pink flats vanish behind the cheap birch, darkness takes her, and she’s floating in a black-purple void.
Miss Bourgeois, Hawkmoth says. Cast aside by everyone in your life. Nobody cares about poor little Chloé. She hears a sick smile in his voice. I care about you.
She’s enthralled, she’s sinking, but the part of her that’s still aware barely manages to avoid vomiting at the violation his words, his tone, imply.
There are other parts, though. One part of her wants to give up, to stop fighting, to sink into despair and just let Hawkmoth win. To let him do the hard parts. To let him take the pain.
The other part of her just wants to burn.
I am giving you the power to lock all those who defy you into unbreakable diamond, he continues. Nobody will ever leave you again.
You know what I want by now.
”Yes, Hawkmoth,” she whispers to the void, shaking. She’s not sure if she’s standing or sitting, if she’s there or here, if she’s trapped in her own mind or she’s still on the bathroom floor. But there’s one thing that catches her mind, throws her off.
Why diamond?
The last coherent part of her mind ticks away at that one question. The powers are always thematic, always related to the trigger. But she hasn’t done anything related to diamonds all day. She’s just—
Wait a minute. Princess Solitaire.
Princess cut. Card suits.
It’s a pun.
The laugh starts deep in her stomach, bubbling up through her chest like a clogged toilet before erupting from her mouth in a bomb blast of mad, almost feral cackling. It's not so much that the pun is funny—it's clever, sure, but there's little humor in it. But the sheer absurdity of it, the incongruity of getting smacked in the face with a pun when everything in her is drowning—
It's an anchor. She focuses, and suddenly the parts of her that want to surrender, to burn, are just that much quieter, that much easier to ignore. She focuses on that laughter, on the light. It feels so much like Adrien.
It's chemistry class, and she's just casually insulted Rose's fashion sense. It's barely a moment before she sees tears welling up in Rose's eyes, and she realizes that, while doubling down on the insult will make her feel less guilty, it won't help Rose. Apologizing is hard, harder than she ever expected it would be—she has to force it out, and it comes out stuttered, incoherent. She's tearing up herself by the end of it. But then Rose's eyes are full of hope and wonder instead of pain, and then Adrien's hand is on her shoulder.
"I'm proud of you, Chloé," Adrien tells her, and Chloé shatters.
It's the night of one of her mother's parties, and Audrey has spent the evening alternatively ignoring her or telling her that she wished Marinette was her daughter instead. She ducks out of the party early for the first time, running somewhere, anywhere, and finds herself at the bakery—the first place she could think to flee. Marinette is holding her, not even caring that Chloé's tears and snot are ruining the shoulder of her jacket.
"You're safe here," Marinette insists, and Chloé can only sob harder, because she believes it.
She's shaking on a fire escape, having narrowly escaped evisceration by another of Kagami's Akuma forms—by another Akuma that she provoked with a careless word. Ladybug and Chat are busy looking after Kagami, making sure she's okay, but Alya is sitting with her. Watching her. Chloé apologizes—there's no way that she's the person Alya wants to spend time with—only for the girl to take her hand.
"You're a bitch, but you're our bitch," Alya says, grinning, and Chloé feels her heart lift.
"Sisters?" Zoé says, holding out her hand.
"Thank you. For... apologizing," Sabrina manages, blushing, withdrawing into herself.
"We knew you weren't all bad," Alix smirks, punching her in the shoulder.
"It feels better, right?" Ivan says, meaty hand on her shoulder.
"I am... not unaware of the progress you have made," Kagami tells her, averting her eyes.
Well, Solitaire? Hawkmoth says.
She breathes in, carefully holding her knees against her chest. The void is... gone. She didn't realize she'd been pushing it back, forcing it to retreat with every memory she'd wielded like a baseball bat against the tides. She's back in the bathroom, still sitting in the same position. Still covered in plastic dust, dirty water soaking her clothes. The glowing mask still sizzling across her cheeks and forehead. It smells like ozone and burning meat.
You never have to be alone again.
She's not. She's not alone. She hasn't been for a long, long time.
Breathe out. Breathe in.
"Eat my entire ass."
Surprise, confusion, and indignation crash through the psychic link, burning inside her brain. He nearly gasps like a Victorian novel heroine. I... excuse me?
"Whole thing," Chloé says, nodding. It's satisfying, the realization that she's caught him so off guard in so many ways. "Just give it a good chew. Get some teeth in there." Carefully, negligibly, so as not to alert him, she shuffles sideways across the floor, feeling cold linoleum and broken plastic against her palms as she shifts herself away from the door, the one entrance to the room, so as not to block Ladybug out with her body.
Madamoiselle Bourgeois! Hawkmoth shrieks. You will do as I bid, or I will—
She reaches deep into her chest, grabs the feeling of Kagami's lips on hers, the feeling of warmth and safety and home, and pushes, slamming her superior will into his and snapping the connection clean in two. The mask explodes from her face, sending a pulse of energy across the room that activates every hand dryer at once, knocking her backward into the stall doors and slamming pain through her spine.
A flash of red bursts through the door. Ladybug, her yo-yo spinning, stares at her, stunned, as the air blowers drone in the background.
"Chloé?" she says. Chloé isn't sure whether that emotion in her voice is incredulity, pride, or concern, but Chloé thinks she likes it.
Enjoying it, though, will have to wait.
Chloé, dumped on the filthy bathroom floor, her whole body creaking with pain, gives Ladybug a weak smile. "Hi, Ladybug," she croaks. "I'd like to go to the nurse's office, please."

I'm making this post because recently I realized a lot more people than I thought are still clinging to HP. They often say stuff like: "I understand the issue, but I still love Harry Potter." You can still read the books if you already owe them, through a library or pirating, but if you answered yes to the poll, please consider checking this list I made of book recommendations to read instead.
There are so many books out there that people are equally if not more obsessed with than Harry Potter. You can find something to fill that void.
(There is no excuse to keep consuming new or old releases of official HP products unless you simply have chosen to ignore the damage JK Rowling has on trans people and even cis women. And you're allowed to choose so, but you will be judged for it and you don't get to act like we're being unreasonable when what we're asking of you is very little.)
I don't have one for movies/TV shows, but the adaptations to some of these books are good options. Plus I would recommend anything by Guillermo del Toro, Labirynth (1986), Coraline (2009), The Adams Family 90s or Wednesday (2022-), Knives Out duology, Pirates of the Caribean trilogy, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, How to Train Your Dragon, The Neverending Story, Secret of Moonacre, Castle in The Sky or any Ghibli films, Matilda (1996), Adventures of Sabrina or Sabrina The Teenage Witch, His Dark Materials (2019-2022), and of course Nimona (2023).

There has been so much exposure of LGBTQI artists for the past few years, lesbians like Chappel roan( I am sure she is independent) and Renee Rapp, Billie Ellish just came out with an album that has a song that explicitly talks about eating a girl out, I just think, either Camila doesn’t want to come out of the closet (which I don’t get it but whatever) or we are just fucking wrong about everything, like that girl is truly straight (which again don’t make any sense to due to her songs and messages in MVs) I am just so confused.
Confusion is a well know state for any fans of Camila. We cannot be comparing Camila to other artists in the industry, everyone has a different story and background that allows them more or less freedom of music and public image. Billie set herself in stardom before coming out and still is perceived as bissexual. Renee has been a niche artist and until I see a label making moves for her to reach star power, she's maybe another Fletcher, just with the kudos of also knowing how to act (she has something to fall back on). Chappel, well she's filling a void created by Lady Gaga and is hugely helped by the current dynamics, the 'brat summer', the starving LGBTQ+ community that has been streaming, but it's always the same problem, they're like McDonald's lovers, they'll feast on you for 5 minutes and then drop you like yesterday's lunch (can't wait to see Sabrina's future as well). To be very honest at this point, Camila needs to protect her piece of mind, her physical and mental health and do not play into this mysoginistic dynamic that has been tearing female pop stars apart constantly and with such vitriol that you would think that they have commited unspeakable crimes.

-I 100% agree with Marinette on this. Chloé shouldnt get off so easily. Especially since she JUST Admitted to never doing her homework. Like if I was a teacher I would take her to the principals office and discuss having her sent back a few grades based on a Literacy test
-I cant take Chloé seriously. Like you can tell they are trying so hard to make her a little s*** even more so than in season 1
-Lila be scheming
-Marinette even giving the teacher lip. You go Marinette.
-And Lila’s turning the situation
-Miss Bustier was still reeling from the fact that Chloé never did any work. Feels like a cop out.
-Alya... I am going to say this once. You are a complete idiot. Do you think MAYBE just MAYBE Marinette is right about Lila? ESPECIALLY CAUSE YOU KNOW MARINETTE IS LADYBUG! For f***s sake this is a really bad look girl. I am disappointed in you.
-Good on Adrien for finally saying something. Boy is like “Yea I am done playing nice, My deal with Lila is void. She f***ing sucks”
-Nino you. are just as bad too
-Me at Alya
youtube
-Sabrina knows Lila is sus now and isnt sure what to do
-Miss Bustier, you maybe a future milf, but you disappoint me greatly
-This is shaping up to be Chameleon 2.0
-The whole class hearing Lila nominate Chloe as her deputy is such a “Bruh”
-Wow... the class are idiots.
-I swear Lila walks around with a simpleman field or some s***
-Adrien and Marinette are immune to the BS
-Lila just rolling nat 20′s on loaded dice
-Wait there are only two weeks of school left? Seriously? And they are doing this?
-That being said, I do like that Lila is a personal foe for Marinette, being that she is the opposite of Marinette.
-Marinette is completely right. I love how chloe is NODDING like “Oh she right. I am glad she understands”
-Okay Lila I see what you doing. Okay, full points on manipulation, that was a clever little spin.
-I still think Lila is ridiculous but when she gets one good scheme it works. But yea... the class are idiots
-Monarch is like “Oh thats some good hatred... Wait a minute”
-Then he was dumb enough to actually be like ��Meh its not at me”
-Lila playing Monarch like a fiddle. And calling Her Hoaxer
-Giving her the power of Illusion once again.
-Oh, I really like the red and Black color scheme on Lila’s akuma form. Its basically red Volpina but I like it
-Hoaxer  controlling everyone with an aliance ring.
-Oh thats clever
-They convinced everyone she is Monarch. Thats hilarious
-Ivan and Mylene are safe since they didnt trust alliance. (Thank goodness)
-Plagg always insightful
-Alya knows that Marinette is Ladybug... so how could she buy the illusion... because alliance control.
-Oh she can feel when the rings are removed
The meme potential
Tumblr media
-When you out of this world.
-Lucky charm is a sewing machine
-Chat noir still call Ladybug is lady, and he calls himself her Kitty cat. 10/10
-Wait Alya is gonna be scarabella?
-How did chat noir get captured so easily? Again... Off Screen?
-Lila using Nathalie to get dirt on gabriel. That is clever
-What does Nathalie know
-WHAT THE F***
- HE WAS A PUNK NAMED GABI GRASSETTE who owned a chip cart
- So he knew Audrey and Andre when younger.
-He also went exploring with Nathalie and Emilie
-Okay Chat noir escaping makes sense. he was trying to bait her out.
-Nathalie is spilling all Gabriel’s secrets to Lila. Thats a clever move by Lila.
-Marinette showing once again why adrien simps for her
-Chat noir simping
-Lila broke her akumatization. Because... her plan was already finished
-Gabriel doesnt even realize he got played by Lila. thinking its Marinette’s fault.
-Oh thats good that Adrien is apologizing (Just like he did in Soulmate survey check out my fic) so thats good
-Marinette is letting Lila have her way so she. can expose her later
-Lila got what she wanted
______________________________________________________________________
-I will say this was Chameleon 2.0 but with a better akuma.
Lila’s plan was actually clever, but everyone was also dumbed down considerably
So I am on the fence.
Also I think Gabriel’s secrets are really f***ing dumb. And Lila’s second half performance and the adrinette are the only two things making me even tolerate the episode
I will say that this was a 5/10

What does your OC/ship yearn for? | uquiz | Saw this one from @corvosattano | Tagging @vampireninjabunnies-blog @socially-awkward-skeleton @strangefable @direwombat @euryalex @nightbloodraelle @nightwingshero @detectivelokis @aceghosts @g0dspeeed @jacobsneed @adelaidedrubman @shegetsburned @poisonedtruth @strafethesesinners and anyone that would like to do the uquiz <3
I thought I'd do one for John too, since it's always fun to see how his and Sabrina's results compare.
Tumblr media
Sabrina
for someone, something. their shadow follows you wherever you go
you yearn for a soulmate, or an equivalent. something life changing and earth shattering, that will make your world feel like it's finally right. like the final piece in a puzzle. your need for something to fill this void is so consuming that it often blinds you from the people who are already in your life, and causes you to hurt them without fully realizing it. you are not a selfish person by any means, but sometimes you take things from granted. chasing shadows will rarely lead you to anywhere good.
"the final piece in a puzzle" oooof, this quiz went for the throat
John
to hold a hand to your lips and call it yours
you yearn for a lover, a pure kind that fills you with sunlight and gold. you are full of so much love to give, yet it seems that no one wants to take them, to take you like you have taken them into your heart and chained it to your soul until the ends of the earth. you don't know when you are wanted, but more importantly, you don't know when you are unwanted. sometimes you are desperate in your desire, and ask for too much just because you've given parts of yourself like unwanted commodity. it's okay to stop looking. don't worry, they'll find you.
"they'll find you." I'm not crying, you are.
Tumblr media
to be free, to follow your heart
you yearn to follow your heart and your passions. you feel constrained by your current situation and life, and that you have yet to fulfill your potential. if you could, you would pack up your bags and take a train to the countryside or the city to explore the world you only see in cinema and literature.
kinda accurate with his past

My love, we'll be the stars
Story inspired by the song we'll be the stars by Sabrina Carpenter~
He was a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day to her.
He had a smile like no other.
He would start most days on a positive note and solve all the problems he encountered with a strong spirit.
But not on that day.
It was a Saturday
The best day of the week to an average person
Not to them, not to him.
That Saturday was without a doubt the worst day of their life, of his life
The doctor said "one month".
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
She had a feeling,
An uneasy one.
The feeling you get when you have lost something important. The feeling that something will go wrong. The feeling of inevitable pain heading your way.
She had an uneasy feeling when he claimed to have lost weight all of a sudden on Monday and claimed it to be a result of the diet he had been following .
She had an uneasy feeling when he came back home tired on Tuesday and blamed it on the overtime hours of work he had been putting in at work.
She had an uneasy feeling when he woke up in cold sweat in the middle of the night on Wednesday and assumed it to be a nightmare.
She had an uneasy feeling when he caught a fever on Thursday and he shrugged it off saying that it's the change in the weather.
She had an uneasy feeling on Friday when he clutched his chest in pain suggesting that it was his age catching up to him.
She had an uneasy feeling when he coughed up blood and passed out at the dinner table on Saturday.
And she was right.
Her gut feeling was right
How she wished that she was wrong and it was all a bad sequence of coincidences,
But she was right.
The doctor said "only month".
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
She was the strongest person he knew.
She had been through a lot and still rose from the ashes every time she burned.
But that day he saw her break.
He watched as her tears flowed down her face and how she fruitlessly bargained with the doctor.
He wanted to tell her it would be alright,
But would it really?
Who was he trying to convince.
He watched the muted conversation that went on with her and the doctor.
He wanted to say something, to ask if it was going to be alright, to ask how much it'll hurt.
But he couldn't utter a word.
It was as though his tongue froze over, he was numb. Falling down a void of emotions thrown at him at speeds that he couldn't process.
He yearned for some sort of hope that this was all a mistake,
A sick joke of some kind.
He searched the doctor's eyes for the tiniest bit of confirmation that all of it was not true.
And between a vast sea of pity and sorrow,
He didn't find it.
And so it was final,
There was only a month left for him.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
The child when asked how they want to live its life, will list out menagerie of things that they want to do.
They mostly consist of fun activities that bring them joy.
They live,
Without a worry of tomorrow.
Today they were happy,
And tomorrow they will be happy as well.
And they would continue following this routine with no timetable or schedule to bind them by duties and responsibilities to fulfill.
She wanted him to live like that child.
She wanted him to be happy today and tomorrow.
And so she put on a brave face and a smile.
"Live in the moment darling" she said,
"Don't fret about the future, it is a difficult time but we will pull through"
"I need you to be strong... Do it for me"
She said those words to him
Hoping they would strengthen her crumbling heart too.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
They did everything they wanted to do.
They went looking for the birds in the forest, camping in the woods, grocery shopping together, and a cute picnic by the riverside.
They did all this whenever they could.
And when they couldn't she sat by his bedside silently weeping as he slept.
A day passed, then a week,
He was getting weaker and she could see it.
He was very bad at hiding things.
When he tried to hide the gift he bought for her on their first date,
When he tried to hide the fact he had forgotten their first year anniversary,
When he tried to hide the ring he bought for her on the day of the proposal,
He failed miserably but she didn't let him know, She let him keep his moments of joy and acted surprised every time he had something planned for her.
He was failing to hide his pain.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
They would come out at night and sit in the yard looking at the night sky, pointing out the stars to one another.
"That star right there would be you, because it's burning more brightly than its companions"
"That star would be you, see how it's surrounded by so many other stars"
"That star would be you, see how it connects perfectly in line with my star"
These conversations would be calming,
As if the world has gone still and let them have a little more time.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
They both wished they could stop the clock from ticking away.
The four walls of the hospital and the small hospital bed made it difficult to breathe.
He would wake up in the middle of the night and panic at the sight of the unfamiliar surroundings.
It was getting difficult,
Both for him and her.
When it got unbearable they would escape reality by stargazing.
The hospital window was wide open that night, he wished he had a better view for not many stars could be seen from the bed he lay in.
She too sat beside him and gazed at the stars lost in deep thought.
The stars would go on to live for at least a few million years.
How old was the one she was looking at?
Was it nearing its death too or had it just been brought into the universe?
He was getting tired and sleepy, and so whispering a quiet "i love you" he closed his eyes and laid his head on her shoulder.
She smiled at him resting his head and turned to the night sky.
A shooting star crossed her sight of vision,
"A shooting star means you get to make a wish" She said to no one in particular.
Then clasping her hands together she said, "I wish you rest well"
And with these final words she knew that time was up.
He had left to become one of the stars that they would talk about.
She smiled at the night sky, her eyes we're welling up with tears.
"I will miss you, my love"
The stars twinkled in the sky.
The end~

ESPRESSO feat. satoru gojo ❝ WALKED IN AND DREAM CAME TRUED IT FOR YA ! ❞
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
now playing... espresso by sabrina carpenter.
summary. never in your life did you think a silly coffee shop tradition with your friends would result in a game of cat-and-mouse with an unabashedly flirtatious barista. but, then again, you’d never met satoru gojo.
tags. barista!satoru x fem!reader, college au, non-curse au, fluff, strangers to lovers, reader’s lowkey a menace & toru’s highkey delusional.
wc. 2.9k
note. first post everybody cheered !!! ‘m missing my blue-eyed loser more than usual today so enjoy this entirely self-indulgent piece 😣💢
Tumblr media
ㅤ ㅤㅤyou and your friends have this… thing, you see.
it all started years ago, when you’d begun to develop a raging caffeine addiction in the midst of your final exams. it was then that your best friends had dragged you to the coziest café on campus, and it was there that they let you in on their little secret.
thinking back, you remember it being utahime who had whispered the words in your ear with a giggle. the words you’d hold yourself to for the rest of your university life; and the words you probably should have turned down if only you'd known better.
the words being: “when you place your order, don’t give the barista your actual name.”
you’d stared at her as if she were crazy.
"... why?"
“because it’s funny!”
“is it, though?”
“of course!” this time, it was shoko that insisted. “we’ve been playing around with these guys for weeks now — you’ve gotta see the looks on their faces every time we walk in with a new name!”
you gave in with a halfhearted shrug. "whatever you say, ieiri.”
and just like that, your trio’s tradition was born.
some days, you like to coordinate your aliases according to characters from books, movies or tv shows you’ve been enjoying. most days, it’s whatever random name pops into your minds as you walk into the coffee shop.
today, you decide on the former.
“we should totally do friends.” utahime chirps, bouncing on her toes as the three of you are heading to your usual morning pick-me-up spot. “in honor of all those reruns we watched last weekend!”
“in honor of all those reruns you watched last weekend.” shoko corrects, “we tapped out as soon as mr. ‘we were on a break!’ got too big for his boots.”
“and missed out on a whole seven incredible seasons!” utahime protests.
you shake your head with a chuckle, “guess we know who’s being rachel, then.”
“i call dibs on phoebe!” shoko’s quick to announce.
“i— hey!” you pout, “you know she’s my favourite character!”
“you snooze you lose, y/n.”
“what do you have against monica anyways, hm?” utahime instigates.
“nothing. she’s just not phoebe.” you reply, plain and simple.
“she did get the best love story of the entire series…” utahime hums. “who knows?” her brows wiggle in jest, “we could be manifesting something for you.”
your trio exchanges a brief look — before bursting into fits of laughter.
“yeah, right!”
it’s no secret that love has found it’s way to the bottom of your list of priorities over the years. hell, if it’s even on the list at all! you’ve had your fair share of short-term boyfriends, casual flings and drunken hookups, sure, but none that you’ve truly cared about the way it always seems to be in the movies.
instead, you’ve learned to cope with the void of a significant other by filling it with things that actually matter — like your studies and social life. the truth is, with maturity came the realization that men (or boys, rather) are really just not worth your time and effort. they only ever end up disappointing you at the end of the day, so what’s the point? you figure a life of independence is definitely the way to go, and your friends couldn’t agree more.
“now let's pick up the pace!” mentally shaking yourself out of your thoughts, you grab the women by their wrists to march onward with a newfound sense of purpose. “i’m about two seconds away from falling asleep on the sidewalk if i don’t get my morning coffee, stat!” ㅤ
Tumblr media
ㅤ ㅤㅤwalking into the café feels like reaching an oasis after days spent stranded in the desert.
you, shoko and utahime breathe a collective sigh of relief upon basking in the trademark scent of freshly roasted coffee beans wafting through the air. it’s quite busy for a wednesday morning, with students and professors bustling to and from the front counter for their fixes. most of the buttery leather sofas scattered around the space are occupied, and more books than usual are missing from the shelves that line the sage green walls.
in light of valentine’s day approaching soon, the space has been fittingly decorated with fairy lights, pink streamers, and candy heart posters. upon closer inspection, you realise some of the candy hearts have handwritten messages or doodles scrawled onto them instead of the usual one-liners you’re used to seeing. you also happen to notice the one stuck to the pastry display case has the words ‘hmu if u can pay off my student loans :p’ written on it, which pulls an amused chuckle from your lips.
“earth to y/n…”
shoko sends a playful poke to your ribs, reminding you that you’re next in line.
“hm? oh!”
you shuffle toward the register — only to find an unfamiliar face smiling at you.
oh.
it knocks the wind from your lungs for a moment.
you’ve been a regular at this café for years now, but it’s the first you’ve seen of this particular barista. he’s tall, with milky soft skin and stark white hair that falls over a pair of shades nestled precariously on the edge of his button nose. his cheekbones are sharp, lips pillowy and naturally curved into a smirk. a certain aura of boyish charm radiates from this stranger, and it’s now that you deduce: he must be new.
not to mention attractive. straight-out-of-the-movies, double-take-worthy levels of it.
and he seems to think the same of you, if the way he’s blatantly staring at you from across the counter is anything to go by.
“ya’ like the message?” he hums, tilting his sunglasses further down the bridge of his nose to reveal a pair of striking aquamarine irises. they sparkle in the warm lighting of the café as they shift between your own and the decoration that had distracted you earlier — and from this mannerism alone, something inside you stirs. this guy screams trouble.
“‘s funny, i guess.” you admit.
“glad to know someone appreciates my work.” leaning his forearms against the counter, he shoots you a kilowatt grin. “so what can i get for your gorgeous, indebted self today?”
the total lack of subtlety has your eyes rolling to the back of your skull. “you discuss crippling debt with all your customers?”
the handsome stranger’s hair falls over his eyes when he laughs, a hand raising to rake through the silk-like strands. “mmm… nah,” he pauses, allowing even more cheek to seep into his flirtatious tone. “just the cute ones.”
“lucky me.” you drawl sarcastically. you feel his piercing gaze remain on you while you scan the menu. “i’ll take a cappuccino, thanks.”
“and your name?” he pops the cap of a sharpie open with his teeth, brows raised behind the rim of a takeaway cup. but something about the twinkle in his eyes and the mischief lacing his tone tells you he’s asking more for his own sake, rather than that of the order.
“monica.” you lie. answer.
“monica…” he repeats, scribbling away on the cup. you can see the name bouncing around the confines of his skull as he muses, “pretty name for a pretty girl.”
idiot.
you give him a tight-lipped smile, paying wordlessly before slipping away from the line and back to your friends. if you were to stay around the barista and his charms any longer, you think you’d start to rot from all the sugarcoated compliments.
“what took you so long?” utahime pries as soon as you reunite with her at the waiting area.
“don’t worry about it.” you murmur.
the younger girl shrugs, turning her attention back to what she was preoccupied with before your return. she and shoko seem to be in some kind of laid back conversation with another barista — who you recognize, of course, from the countless times you’ve visited this café and the handful of lectures you share on occasion.
“g’morning, suguru!” you greet him with a smile.
your classmate returns the pleasantries, and you jump into the conversation whilst waiting for your order to be made. it’s nothing too serious — brief mentions of mutual friends, upcoming exams, and a couple bantery comments thrown about — all foregrounded by the sound of cups clinking and milk steaming as the four of you will the time away.
“orders up for rachel, phoebe, and monica!”
suguru, catching onto the names that were just called out, gives your trio an exasperated shake of his head. “are you guys seriously still doing this?”
“oh, shut up.” shoko tsks, “it’s funny!”
“tell that to all my co-workers who think you’re going through an identity crisis every week.” the man chuckles.
utahime returns with three takeaway cups in hand, passing them out to you and shoko. as soon as you take a sip, you sigh contentedly at the well-made beverage. see, this happens to be one of the many reasons this particular café is your favorite spot on campus — aside from the homey atmosphere and friendly staff, of course — they know how to make a damn good cup of coffee.
“did you guys change the recipe or something?” you ask suguru. eyes wide, you take another gulp of your cappuccino. “this is even better than usual!”
“enjoying yet another one of my creations, hm?”
the stranger from before appears behind suguru before he’s even able to formulate a reply, flashing you a second trademark smile.
“really laying it on thick with the praises this morning, pretty. might make me blush if ya’ keep at it.”
you scoff, “that’s rich coming from you.”
“heh, guilty.”
you’ve never met anyone so forward as the man in front of you. with the way his eyes haven’t stopped glittering since you’d first come into contact with them, you’d think he’s been harboring some kind of secret crush on you for years, as opposed to the two of you only having met each other mere minutes before. you wonder how on earth someone could be so unabashed toward a total stranger — not to mention the fact that he doesn’t even know your name! or, your real name, to be precise.
“dude, stop hitting on all my friends.” suguru tsks, shooting an unimpressed look toward his co-worker.
“only when you stop being friends with beautiful women.” he counters playfully.
“stuck between three chronic liars and a serial flirt…” the raven-haired man goes on to mumble, though the smile remaining on his face suggests his amusement at it all despite the sarcasm that drips from his next words. “happy wednesday to me.”
you, shoko and utahime laugh in unison, while the newcomer’s brows knit together in puzzlement.
“chronic liars?”
now it’s suguru’s turn to let out a snicker. he takes a moment to explain your trio’s odd tradition to the befuddled man beside him.
“wait…” he shakes his head, turning to you once more. “so your name isn’t monica?”
“nope.” you confirm.
“huh.” he chuckles, shaking his head to himself. the tradition itself sounds awfully pointless to him — but that’s not to say he doesn’t see the fun in it. “what is it, then?” he asks.
“wouldn’t you love to know?” you tease.
you could make a fun game out of this, you think.
“yeah.” he replies wholeheartedly, “i would, actually.”
the stranger leans his weight against the counter, as if his body were subconsciously trying to close the gap between the two of you. as if your name were the most coveted secret he’d die without knowing. and in this moment, he thinks, it just might be.
“hmm—”
ding! ding! ding!
alas, the campus bell gongs; signalling the start of your next class and cutting your deliberation short.
“guess we’ll have to save it for another time.”
shoko and utahime are conveniently wrapping up their conversation with suguru on the side, and you take this as the perfect opportunity to slip away.
“i’ll see you around…” your gaze drifts from the stranger’s twinkling eyes, past the blush creeping down his neck, right until you reach the name tag pinned over his chest. “satoru.”
and just like that, you’re gone. ㅤ
Tumblr media
ㅤ ㅤㅤsatoru gojo is fucked.
undeniably, irreversibly fucked.
it’s been two days since his first introduction to you and, already, his mind is stuck in some sort of permanent frenzy.
nothing but thoughts of you, with your playful smile and addicting gaze. you, who smelled of vanilla and warm laundry and everything good and right in this world. the way you’d bounced ever-so-lightly on your toes as you savored the taste of his cappuccino — the one he’d made sure to steam to perfection, when he’s usually receiving warnings from his manager for burning the milk every other day. the way your hair swung effortlessly with every step you took. the way your jeans hugged your figure in all the right places.
and the way you said his name… god— the way it sounded falling from your rose-petaled lips, in your silken voice…
satoru could get drunk off the thought of it alone.
and maybe he is; wide awake at the crack of dawn, staring up at his ceiling in a weak attempt to will away these thoughts of you that never seem to take a breather… perhaps drunk would be the only word to describe it.
“tch,” he grunts, splaying his long limbs against the cold sheets. “feel like a fuckin’ teenager.”
how could a single interaction affect him this damn much? and to think he never even got your name!
admittedly, this predicament is odd, even for satoru. he can’t remember the last time he’s been so irrationally hooked, so delusional, over a woman — if at all. the feeling courses through his body like a shot of espresso (ha.) and before he knows it, he’s reaching for his phone and giving in to the devil on his shoulder. ㅤ

ㅤ with it becoming more and more apparent that even his best friend wouldn’t help him get closer to you, satoru flings his phone to the bedside table with a dramatic hmpf. he’d expected the conversation with suguru to end in a successful retrieval of your contact details, to satiate even the tiniest bit of the behemoth craving in his gut, but it only added fuel to the fire.
… so he is on your radar.
enough to make you bring it up to your friends — and, better yet, to rope them into your bit.
the thought sends an all-too-familiar smirk to play at the man’s lips. after all, he’s never been one to shy away from a challenge. they only entice him all the more, as a matter of fact. especially when they look like you.
so it’s in this moment that satoru gojo decides: he will indulge in this little game of yours — and, if the prize happens to be even another crumb of your attention, he will stop at nothing to win. ㅤ

rating emails i can’t send fwd’s new deluxe tracks <33
Disclaimer: I am in no way a musical professional that would be suited to rank these songs properly. However, these ratings are purely based on my personal opinions and what I enjoy listening to in a song. 
To start, this ranking is inspired by a tweet I saw by @betubrina explaining how perfect the deluxe soundtrack is, which I totally agree with! I’m also just excited to rank the new songs in preparation for Sabrina’s concert next month!!

1. “opposite”
At number one we have “opposite.” Just like the entirety of emails i can’t send, this song is filled with so much raw emotion. The first time I listened to it, it made me want to cry because of how much heart Sabrina put into it. Once Sabrina got to the chorus, her vocals put me in a trance. The background effects also makes it sound like she is in an echoey bathroom (as visualized in the official audio video on YouTube). The visual adds to the meaning of the song too. I believe “opposite” describes the story of being a stand-in person to fill the void of someone wanting to be loved, but you know in reality that you are not their ideal. So you keep dwelling on the things you can change about yourself just for them to ‘love’ you. Therefore, in the visual, it symbolizes the scrutiny that Sabrina puts on herself when staring at her reflection in the bathroom. I think this song is placed at number one because it resonates with me the most about the constant comparison to other people. Her voice also evoked so much emotion to me with just the first listen.

2. “Feather”
I love this song so much! I was actually contemplating between “opposite” and “Feather” as number one. However, this song just screams a dance bop to me. Her confidence in the song emits such positive energy, and lyrically, feather fits perfectly with the production and diction she uses like in “Floatin’ through the memories.”

Tumblr media
3. “things i wish you said”
“things i wish you said” is yet another sad song, but it adds it’s a new twist to the somberness. It feels more nostalgic to me because Sabrina references past experiences that she wishes were said to her during those times. However, it’s bittersweet because Sabrina is accepting the fact that she will never hear those words; so it would probably only be something she would hear in her dreams. I think the production also adds to this because it sounds like she is singing a lullaby before going to bed with her sweet, gentle voice.

Tumblr media
4. “Lonesome”
“Lonesome” is sadly placed in fourth for this ranking because it simply did not appeal to me like the last three songs did. I thought it was interesting how the opening sounds like something straight out of a western movie, but I felt like the song did not go anywhere. It felt too stagnant for me and didn’t build where I thought it could. However, the opening lines, “If I fall in love with all my problems, will they leave me too?/Or maybe I believed in all your lies 'cause I believed in you” do strike a nerve because it stings knowing how much you have been lied to when you trusted that person with your entire being. 
https://youtu.be/d7jrtkbRptM
Overall, I love all the songs off of emails i can’t send and emails i can’t send fwd, and I think that the deluxe songs were perfectly implemented into the album. Hopefully, you guys also can relate to my ranking choices! ♡

Who wants more sad statistics~?
Because say hello to the color-coded guide to Marinette blame/mistakes! Obviously there’s some room for debate (even I struggled with how to color an episode from time to time), but it should be mostly accurate.
Blue = "Marinette wasn't really blamed for anything notable and didn't really suffer from Adrien" Cyan = "Marinette was blamed for something unrelated to Adrien that she didn't do/she shouldn't be made to feel bad for" (this one is probably the most subjective) Green = "Marinette was blamed/made a mistake but it had nothing to do with Adrien" Yellow = "Marinette doesn't technically make a mistake or get blamed, but is negatively impacted by her crush on/relationship to Adrien" Red = "Marinette either was blamed for/made a mistake that related to Adrien."
"Negatively impacted by her crush on Adrien" could mean generally anything, but it leans towards Marinette embarrassing herself in front of Adrien, characters making snippy/unnecessary comments about her crush, and things that wouldn't have happened if her Adrien crush didn't exist. In the case that Marinette makes a mistake/is improperly blamed for something not about Adrien (cyan/green) but also is negatively impacted by her relationship to him (yellow), whatever is given more attention will take priority. There could've easily been a lot of cyan+red episodes had I allowed myself to use two colors.
Now look at all that red, which is easily the most frequent color, and then try and tell me that Marinette's crush isn't just a tool to humiliate her and force her to make mistakes in order to fit the "Marinette makes a mistake" quota.
I've put the explanations below on my decisions for each episode, as well as the tally for everything together:
Season 1
"Stormy Weather" (red) - Marinette blames herself for leaving Manon, and they're only at the park in the first place because of her Adrien crush.
"The Bubbler" (red) - Marinette uses Lucky Charm explicitly to stop Chloe and Adrien from dancing together.
"The Pharoah" (green) - Ladybug drops her schoolbook; relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but seems to be why the show forces Marinette to awkwardly try to keep Alya in the museum instead of just having Tikki directly point out where to go.
"Lady Wifi" (green) - Marinette overslept while doing homework and was late for class
"Timebreaker" (cyan) - Marinette is blamed for not being home to give the cake to Nadja... who came early and thus Marinette shouldn't have been expected to expect her
"Mr. Pigeon" (yellow) - Marinette embarrasses herself in front of Adrien, with Alya making faces at her all the while
"The Evillustrator" (cyan) - Marinette is blamed for ditching Sabrina when she has an akuma to worry about, accused of "being like Chloe" (i.e: the person who Sabrina immediately goes back to anyway)
"Rogercop" (red) - Marinette, after being accused, states that everyone has the potential to be guilty, but sidesteps Adrien when someone suggests it
"Copycat" (red) - Marinette, panicked by an embarrassing confession she left on Adrien's phone (thanks to Alya), steals it to delete the message (also thanks to Alya)
"Dark Cupid" (red) - Marinette forgets to sign the love letter addressed to Adrien, which Alya laughs at her for
"Horrificator" (red) - Marinette is pressured/convinced to play Mylene's role instead when Alya throws out that she'd be kissing Adrien
"Darkblade" (cyan) - Marinette doesn't want to run for class representative because she already has enough on her plate (...what a monster?); both Alya and Alix make snarky comments at her for this
"The Mime" (green) - Marinette deletes a video on Alya phone and spends the rest of the episode trying to recreate it
"Kung Food" (cyan) - Marinette blames herself for defending her great uncle and insulting Chloe (again... what a monster?), which leads to Chloe sabotaging Wang's cooking
"Gamer" (red) - Marinette enters the gaming competition solely for Adrien
"Animan" (yellow) - Marinette offers to get Nino a date with Alya, an event that wouldn't have taken place if not for Marinette's crush (either there wouldn't have been a zoo trip at all or Alya wouldn't have been there); in addition, Alya tells Nino about Marinette's Adrien crush, which Marinette is distraught by
"Antibug" (cyan) - Ladybug is blamed for "not accepting help from others" (except she did at the beginning of the episode) and not listening to Chloe (who is a habitual liar)
"The Puppeteer" (green) - Marinette folds to Manon's "baby doll eyes" and gives her something that Nadja insisted she not have
"Reflekta" (green) - Marinette tries to steal Guiseppe's SD camera card so Juleka's picture will need retaken
"Pixelator" (red) - Marinette shirks her job as Jagged's gopher in order to get back to Adrien as soon as possible
"Guitar Villain" (blue) - Not much happens, just cool Marinette stuff; there are technically scenes of Marinette embarrassing herself around Adrien, but either no one else was there to witness it or there wasn't any significant reaction to it
"Princess Fragrance" (red) - Alya forces Marinette to go talk to Adrien, which results in Marinette tripping and losing Tikki
"Simon Says" (cyan) - Marinette... I guess is at fault for struggling to keep up with schoolwork and hero duties? That's what you get for wanting to help people, Ladybug
"Volpina" (red) - Marinette is mocked for being jealous, her following Adrien is presented as her doing it jealously (she literally says that she's going to warn Adrien about Lila stealing the book from him before Tikki stops her, but okay), and she yells at Lila as Ladybug, which is also presented as being "only about Adrien."
"Origins - Part 1 (Ladybug & Cat Noir)" (green) - Ladybug neglects to capture the akuma, having forgotten that detail
"Origins - Part 2 (Stoneheart)" (green) - The mistake from Part 1 carries over... the episode also may or may not blame Marinette for encouraging Ivan.
blue - 1 cyan - 6 green - 7 yellow - 2 red - 10
Season 2
"A Christmas Special" (red) - Marinette's "Adrien blindness" causes her to jump to conclusions and believe that a Santa Claus lookalike is an akuma
"The Collector" (red) - Marinette lies to Master Fu in order to protect Adrien, not able to believe that Adrien could be Hawk Moth
"Despair Bear" (red) - Marinette goes to Chloe's party for Adrien and is repeatedly mocked/teased for this
"Prime Queen" (cyan) - Ladybug "makes a mistake" in getting upset at Nadja for trying to pry into her romantic relationships and her potential romance with Chat Noir
"Befana" (cyan) - Marinette is blamed for "lying" to her grandmother about going to a birthday party with her friends (she didn't) and "not wanting to spend time with her" (she did, Gina is the one who neglected Marinette for literal years)
"Riposte" (cyan) - One of the more subjective ones, but going frame-by-frame, Adrien's saber bends first yet the episode calls Marinette "flustered" and "new to fencing" to say that she's wrong in her choice
"Robostus" (blue) - Mostly free of crush and mistakes, episode focuses primarily on the main plot of the akuma being caused (if I had a color for Marinette just normally being mocked/embarrassed though, it'd be here)
"Gigantitan" (red) - Needs no explanation: Marinette is embarrassed in front of the girls multiple times and the entire subplot causes the akuma that almost hits Gorilla
"The Dark Owl" (green) - Ladybug orchestrates a situation in which the Dark Owl could save her so as to not hurt his feelings, which ends in him being found out, humiliated, and akumatized
"Glaciator" (red) - Marinette is upset because Adrien didn't show up to get ice cream with her, which leads to her blowing up on Andre
"Sapotis" (blue) - Marinette goes largely blameless for everything; not much here
"Gorizilla" (yellow) - Multiple "jokes"/"mocking" about Marinette revealing skin/being in her pajamas in front of Adrien
"Captain Hardrock" (blue) - Surprisingly void of blame on Marinette despite her being depressed over Adrien; if anything, Luka apologizes for making a teasing comment when she was upset
"Zombizou" (cyan) - Marinette is blamed for being upset with Chloe for ruining her gift for Miss Bustier
"Syren" (cyan) - Ladybug is blamed for keeping secrets from Chat Noir (look at the Adrien stans for reference)
"Frightningale" (red) - Marinette is bothered by Chloe being Ladybug, but Adrien is involved so the fandom can easily put blame on her concerning her Adrien crush (see Marinette salters for reference)
"Troublemaker" (red) - Marinette's Adrien pictures are intentionally inflated/exaggerated to humiliate her more
"Anansi" (green) - I wouldn't argue if someone suggested that this is a cyan: Marinette "makes a mistake" in cheating Nora's arm-wrestle with Nino since Nora was being unreasonable
"Sandboy" (green) - Marinette agrees with Tikki that they should do something to help Nooroo without asking Fu
"Reverser" (cyan) - Marinette peeks at Marc's work and tries to help him work with Nathaniel (I see, so when Alya meddles to push Marinette past her comfort zone, it's fine, but--); she also embarrasses herself in front of Adrien over this
"Frozer" (red) - Marinette suffers because Adrien's an idiot and has tons of people in relationships to ask advice from, and he chooses to ask Marinette; Marinette appears to be "blamed" for either wanting to move on (due to the girls fighting) or agreeing to go with Adrien, along with a "bonus" (almost earning a cyan) due to Chat throwing a hissy fit over her rejecting him
"Style Queen" (cyan) - Marinette is blamed for thinking that the magic ladybugs would bring the miraculous back to Fu (see "Sentibubbler" covering for Chat for reference on how the narrative sees this)
"Queen Wasp" (cyan) - Carried over from "Style Queen"; Ladybug is blamed for losing the miraculous
"Malediktator" (red) - Marinette is made to feel bad for being glad that her bully of many years is gone (almost earning a cyan here, or even a yellow), and this is all due to Adrien; he also unintentionally convinces her to give Chloe a miraculous (her "mistake" according to future episodes), which sets off a slew of events that makes her suffer
"Catalyst" (cyan) - Alya not believing Marinette due to her Adrien crush carries over from "Volpina," almost earning this a red, but Marinette also lies about her gift for Heroes' Day. However, the fact that she is completely sleep-deprived from the night before and was being made fun of for only bringing macarons is largely ignored by the narrative and treated too much as her fault
"Mayura" (red) - When going to correct her mistake from last episode, Adrien throwing a pity party for himself makes Marinette go back on it
blue - 3 cyan - 9 green - 3 yellow - 1 red - 10
Season 3
"Backwarder" (red) - Marinette gives Adrien the wrong letter (due to each slip of paper she has conveniently looking the exact same but the episode clearly indicates it to be her fault); she's also humiliated over this
"Weredad" (cyan) - Marinette lies to Chat Noir in a panic to protect her identity. The fact that Chat Noir is an idiot who wonders why Marinette might be on her own darn balcony and that Tikki doesn't offer a better solution for the situation is given no attention
"Chameleon" (red) - Alya believing that Marinette is only upset with Lila over Adrien presumably carries over from "Volpina" and "Catalyst;" Marinette's relationship with Adrien also seems to make her more inclined to believe in what he says about doing nothing about Lila
"Animaestro" (red) - No explanation needed; Marinette's Adrien crush makes her more inclined to believe Chloe (remember "Malediktator" and "Zombizou"?) when Chloe claims that Kagami stole her seat next to Adrien, which convinces Marinette to team up with Chloe against Kagami, and this leads to Marinette being embarrassed over her crush
"Bakerix" (green) - Marinette makes a mistake in... I guess riling up her grandfather? (this one's pretty subjective and I wouldn't argue with anyone who says this should be cyan)
"Silencer" (blue) - Regardless of what "Crocoduel" says, Marinette isn't blamed in this episode for challenging Bob Roth
"Oblivio" (cyan) - Marinette seems to weirdly be blamed/punished for getting upset with Chat Noir if the smugness of Chat+Alya about the taken picture is to be believed (perhaps """explained""" in "Reflekdoll" about Chat having his role to play as the "sense of humor")
"Stormy Weather 2" (yellow) - Marinette spends a portion of the episode sulking about the little progress she's made with Adrien
"Reflekdoll" (red) - Needs no explanation: Marinette's anxiety is caused by Adrien and she's blamed for it despite Alya orchestrating everything
"Oni-Chan" (red) - Marinette chases after Adrien and Lila, which is made to be completely about Marinette's crush on Adrien despite Marinette telling Tikki about her actual concerns (which end up coming true as Kagami gets akumatized)
"Miraculer" (cyan) - Chat gets snippy with Ladybug for not telling Chloe right away (apparently assuming that Ladybug doesn't have other obligations to attend to like school; she even tells Chat that she "wouldn't have time that day"), and Ladybug was literally about to before the sentimonster and Miraculer show up
"The Puppeteer 2" (red) - Marinette repeatedly pushed and punished for liking Adrien, then punished again in front of Adrien (who she thinks is a statue) when she was actually just taking the advice that Tikki gave her
"Desperada" (red) - The guitar scene (i.e: "huh, who would've known that my wingwoman for Adrien was actually trying to wingwoman me with Luka one time!"), Aspik (i.e: "wow, the guy who I thought was perfect because that's what the narrative is always telling me actually doesn't fit what the narrative was telling me!"), and that's all I need to say
"Startrain" (blue) - Mostly mistakeless on Marinette's end; the focus is on other characters/plots (again, if I had a color for Marinette being mocked/embarrassed though, it'd also go here)
"Kwamibuster" (blue) - Marinette isn't blamed for anything; even though Master Fu isn't aware of the events at first, Tikki apologizes to Marinette in front of him later
"Feast" (yellow) - Marinette is briefly distracted by Adrien until Alya chides her so that she can show Marinette the information she might as well have hand-delivered to Hawk Moth
"Ikari Gozen" (red) - Marinette tries to sabotage her and Kagami to prevent Kagami from meeting up with Adrien
"Timetagger" (cyan) - Tikki notes Marinette's bad excuses (which are due to the sheer amount of akuma) to the point where Alya had replaced her as babysitter before Marinette explained that she couldn't show up (I wouldn't argue with anyone who said this should be blue instead)
"Party Crasher" (red) - Marinette tries to crash the secret boys-only party in order to spend time with Adrien
"Gamer 2.0" (cyan) - Marinette+Ladybug is blamed for being upset that they have no time for anything, with Ladybug in particular "making the mistake" of taking over and failing due to Chat constantly goofing off despite her urging
"Chat Blanc" (red) - Marinette is pressured/threatened by the girl squad (specifically Rose) enough that she decides to sneak into Adrien's house
"Felix" (yellow) - Marinette, after "finally" confessing to Adrien (for like--the fourth time), ends up running off and rambling in front of Luka (not knowing that he's there), which embarrasses her
"Ladybug" (red) - Alya's doubts of Marinette's hatred of Lila (implied in "Volpina" and stated in "Catalyst" to be about her crush on Adrien) carries over as Alya chides Marinette for blaming Lila, and had Marinette not listened to Adrien in "Chameleon," Lila may have been stopped early on and she wouldn't have gotten expelled (otherwise, the episode would've gotten a "cyan" because how dare Marinette be emotional at being accused of cheating and get angry at Lila)
"Christmaster" (red) - Marinette lies to Chris (in the exact way that Alya does to Manon in "Stormy Weather" but sure) in order to protect her darn privacy so Chris doesn't find out about her chest full of Adrien gifts, which leads to Chris getting akumatized
"Heart Hunter" (red) - Ladybug neglects to detransform due to being distracted by Adrimi happening, which leads to long-lasting and overly harsh consequences
"Miracle Queen" (red) - Ladybug's mistake carries over from the previous episode
blue - 3 cyan - 5 green - 1 yellow - 3 red - 14
Total: blue - 7 cyan - 20 green - 11 yellow - 6 red - 34

Sonic the Hedgehog Analyzer, Issue #38: Test Run (Part 2)
Tumblr media
After Sonic, Amy and Tails had been literally thrown into another dimension, we are finally getting an answer to where they are and what Eggman might be up to, as well as learn more about Belle.
Tumblr media
We start off with Sonic, Amy and Tails floating through some kind of void, Sonic not having expected this to happen. Tails is fascinated, though, grabbing Sonic and Amy and flying through the space, explaining his theory on what is going on. Amy just sums it up for Sonic (and the audience) as Eggman having created a bubble where he can mess with physics.
Sonic wonders if its a trap, but Tails notes that Eggman knows them well enough and would be aware that they could break through this. So, not a trap. Fortunately, they find an exit, flying right through it.
Tumblr media
They land in some kind of abandoned town, feeling rather uneasy.
Meanwhile, Tangle and Belle crash-land the bike at the tower. Tangle figures that they leave the return part for the future, her and Belle entering the tower. Belle looks around, spotting the Eggman Empire logo.
Tumblr media
Tangle calls out for her, with Belle following the latter to a large room filled with Badniks that are working on something. We can also see more of those portals in the room, with Badniks either entering or exiting them.
Tangle and Belle climb up on the platform above and we hear two rather familiar voices talking about Sonic, Amy and Tails breaking into the base and being stuck in one of the chambers.
As it turns out, the ones talking are Orbot and Cubot, apparently overlooking this operation. Tangle and Belle spy on the two as they note how Sonic and co. got into Chamber 2.
Tumblr media
Orbot and Cubot resign themselves to their fate, calling Dr. Eggman and hoping he won’t pick up. Unfortunately, he does, thinking they messed up again.
Tumblr media
Eggman is angry about the interruption, so Orbot and Cubot quickly explain how Sonic and co. broke into the chambers. The two flinch, waiting for Eggman to scream at them, only to be surprised when he doesn’t.
As it turns out, Eggman has welcomed Sonic’s arrival, obviously having something on mind.
Tumblr media
He decides to deal with Sonic, Amy and Tails. As for Tangle and Belle, they decide to find the others, but Belle slips through the wires, landing right in front of the patrolling Badniks.
Tumblr media
Belle is terrified, but to her surprise, the Badniks ignore her. She then gets picked up by Tangle.
Tumblr media
Tangle asks her what the hell was that, with Belle at first claiming that she has no idea. Tangle demands the truth, so Belle admits that she wasn’t sure before, but this proves that she is the same as them - that she’s a Badnik. However, she doesn’t want to hurt anyone and just wants answers, and the only one who can provide them is Dr. Eggman.
Belle is surprised when Tangle puts her down gently and not smashing her to pieces, with Tangle explaining how Sonic and Tails vouched for her and that she’s trying her best to do good; hence she can trust Belle.
Tumblr media
As for Sonic, Tails and Amy, they’re still in this weird abandoned town, trying to find a way out. Sonic decides to take a look around, only to stop once again in front of Tails as the latter tried to warn him a second earlier that they might be stuck in another loop. I just love Sonic and Tails’ look of defeat here.
Sonic figures he can overload it, but Amy calls them to enter one of the houses.
Tumblr media
The house appears to be abandoned, at least until Amy spots someone in the room, only to find out they’re test dummies. Even Sonic notes how creepy this whole thing is and I’m here being reminded of Sabrina’s doll playroom from one of the early Indigo League Pokémon episodes.
They suddenly hear something, going out and finding a caterpillar Badnik.
Tumblr media
Amy smashes it, with Sonic wondering what is up with the Badniks as he spots more. Tails notes that they look like combinations, but Amy and Sonic don’t care as long as they’re smashable.
Sonic then destroys them and tells Amy and Tails to block the windows and the doors. Tails spots a whole street of Badniks and Sonic notes how they’re stuck in this place with no room to run. Amy says how they need to come up with a new plan and how this had only bought them a little time.
Tumblr media
Sonic and Amy have no ideas about what they should do, but Tails figures that he could track the signal of the Badniks to their source, which means that they could find the exit. Amy notes how they still have no clue what is going on, with Sonic betting how it is still a trap. Tails notes how it is arbitrary and impersonal and Amy adds how Eggman would rub it in their faces if he thinks he got them.
Cue the three hearing a familiar laugh and Sonic grinning deviously as he rushes towards it.
Tumblr media
He searches for Eggman, ending up in the kitchen, where we see Eggman’s voice coming from... a toaster. A frigging toaster...
I’m sorry, but I genuinely laughed at that. It just feels so random. You’d think that Eggman would put more effort in his presentation and not use kitchen appliances for communication.
Sonic isn’t impressed either, and I’m can’t stop grinning at the sight of Sonic talking to a toaster.
Anyways, Eggman explains how this whole place isn’t a trap, but a test for his new cutting-edge technological concepts. He is planning to create new mechanical monstrosities he can unleash all across the world, thanking Sonic for breaking in.
Tumblr media
After all, now he gets to test his new creations on real dummies.

Literally Just finished Chilling adventures of Sabrina, apparently they took a page out of the CWS “book of shitty afterlife endings.” So here are some questions:
1) why not use the resurrection soil to bring Sabrina back? It’s been established since episode 1 what it can do, so why not now?
2) why give Zelda a tool to summon Mambo Marie/Baron Samedi, Loa of the dead, who is seen on screen as being able to resurrect the dead (vinegar Tom) and not use it??? What was the point of changing Mambo Marie’s identity to a Loa at all if they didn’t plan on bringing it up again?
3) I’m not sure if it’s clear to anyone else but to me, The Trinket Man was clearly God. With his seemingly endless and useful case of trinkets that helped out Sabrina and co. when nothing else would, there is no way he wasnt the omniscient God of this universe who tried to interfere without interfering. Even if he wasn’t God, The trinket man was indeed some kind of magical, benevolent creature. The man behind the curtain in the emerald city of greendale. So Why have him walk around with a box of Deus Ex Machinas and literal plot devices without him having something in his “black bag” to bring our Dorothy back home to OZ?
4) what happened to the Endless? Sabrina Morningstar died when she came through the mirror (of what? Who knows!) but she brought the Endless with her and there was no mention of it again. It wasn’t with the other horrors when Sabrina asked which of them could help her kill the void. it wasn’t with the Fright Club when they brought the horrors through the void. They established it couldn’t die in episode 7 Except by the void who didn’t get to devour it because they escaped through the mirror. So where was the stuffed cat? It could re-write reality. Why didn’t he, as a favor to the one that saved him from the void, pay her back by writing that she survived?
5) Hecate was standing RIGHT there, and didn’t step in?????? Didn’t do shit? Why show her? Why have Hilda point her out to Zelda, as a comfort that Sabrina was going to be ok, to have her do nothing? What.... To escort Sabrina to the afterlife??? In myth she is literally a goddess of Necromancy (among a vast amount of other things). Why not use her to bring her back?
6) the body that died with the sacrifice was that of Sabrina morningstar. Who was ALREADY dead. Sabrina spellmans soul was in it but it wasn’t her body. Sabrina spellmans body had JUST been brought back from the frozen nothing of space by Nick. It was preserved, Being that it FROZE IN SPACE. Why didn’t they just magic sabrinas soul back into her rightful body and let morningstars body rest like it was meant to?
If I tried hard enough I could think of more ways that they could have ended the show but these are my immediate thoughts and questions after watching the finale. They gave poor Sabrina the shitty Dean Winchester story ending except she got to see her love again after his death. I think I’m taking a break from scripted shows and just watching YouTube videos for the next month or so.

AHH I HOPE I’M NOT TOO LATE FOR THIS BUT DEFINITELY 1 AND 16 (ik 16 is already said in part 4 and it’s one of my favorites 🥺) hope it’s still okay to ask for two 🌝
Hey there! not too late. I'll post prompt 1 later! This is from a world where they both came back from the dead.
16. Come Back to Bed.
Sabrina was used to sleeping warm. So when she woke up in the middle of the night without her furnace of a boyfriend wrapped around her like vines she knew something was up. Nick had been hyper-attuned to her comfort for as long as she’d known him, but it had increased tenfold once she came back from the dead. He didn’t exactly hover but he was always close by or a teleportation away, ready to fight anything that came their way in order to protect her.
They hadn’t spent a night apart so it shocked her when she awoke from a dream, reached over and felt empty and cold sheets. She sat up straight as her heart dropped to her stomach, knowing that Nick out of bed meant only one thing. He’d had another nightmare.
They had become commonplace since returning from Hell but had steadily dropped as he’d healed and they made their way back together. Losing Sabrina and dying himself and them both coming back had brought about a new wave of them, usually centering around Sabrina dying again or the Void coming back in full force. She knew where she was likely to find him, hunched over a desk and a pile of books in the study researching some threat they hadn’t thought of yet.
So when she awoke, Nick’s side of the bed empty, she left out a sigh and got up to go search for him. She fumbled around in the dark, cursing when she tripped over a stray shoe, and slipped on Nick’s navy button down from the night before. She supposed the shirt was unnecessary given that every other Mortuary resident was out of town, but she’d always thought the walls had eyes and the old portraits of ancient Spellmans would somehow spill to her aunties what went on there. Salem meowed with annoyance when the creak of her bedroom door woke him up and she rolled her eyes at his dramatics and tiptoed down the stairs.
Nick was right where she expected, hand deep in his curls and a pile of books next to him with his nose stuck in one of them. He was feverishly taking notes and muttering to himself, so deep in thought he didn’t even notice when she slipped in the room.
“Hey.” She whispered as she came up and hugged him from behind, nails scraping his bare chest and kissing his cheek. He jumped just a little bit but relaxed when she kissed his cheek again and squeezed him tighter.
“Hey, babe.” He breathed out and let his eyes flutter closed, grabbing and brushing his fingers across her forearm. “Sorry if I woke you.”
“You didn’t.” Nick felt her shake her head on the side of his cheek. She was still pressed up against him and her warmth made him start to feel calmer about all he had seen in his dream, but only a little. “But it’s like the middle of the night, come back to bed. It’s cold.”
Nick let out a little chuckle as she brushed her nose against his neck, remembering how he’d said that to her one time.
“I have to look at this first.” Nick pointed to the papers on the desk. “I won’t be able to sleep otherwise.
Sabrina sighed as she stood, no longer content with hugging him from behind and wanting to curl close to him instead. So she moved to settle herself in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“What was it about this time?” She brushed his chin and smiled a bit when he shuddered.
“The void came back.” He swallowed heavily in between breaths. “And it gobbled you right back up and there was nothing we could do about it this time. No pandora’s box to use.”
“Nick…” She ran her hand through his hair. “That’s not going to happen. We didn’t miss anything. We get to be happy.”
“Sabrina, I am happy.” He wrapped his arm even tighter around her waist and pressed his forehead against hers, brushing their noses. “But I’m also realistic in that we’re probably gonna face some otherworldly, planet-ending enemy again. And I just wanna be prepared.”
“I guess we have saved the world a few times.” Nick felt more than saw her small smile with their faces so close.
“It was you who saved it every time, Spellman.” Nick pulled away from her so he could see her full beautiful face. He ran a hand through her hair and pressed his lips together as his smile faltered. “And every time I almost lost you. And one time I did. For real.”
She held his face in between both of her hands and brushed her thumbs along his cheekbones. She leaned in and kissed him softly, so featherlight it was like the soft hum of the lamp nearby.
“I’m not gonna let that happen again, Nick.” She shook her head. “I won’t.”
“And neither will I.” Nick jostled her and then tugged her until his face was slotted into her neck to kiss it. “That’s why I’m down here researching as much as I can, while I’m thinking of it.”
Sabrina scrunched her nose, realizing she wasn’t going to get him to come back upstairs with her yet so she sighed and leaned in and kissed him quickly, lingering her lips over his and kissing him one more time.
“How can I help?” She asked as she dragged her hands down from his neck and his chest.
Nick smiled and held up a book for her, opening it to a page for her and pointing to a section.
“This is what I could find in your great-great grandfather’s journal about the Void. But I thought you should read this one.”
“I’ll help.” Sabrina poked him square in the chest and left her finger there until he grabbed her hand. “But in one hour we’re back up in bed or else.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Nick nodded seriously and opened his own book to look through, stealing glances from her and admiring how her brow furrowed and she bit her lip when she read something interesting. He thought she was more interesting though, than anything that he ever read, or ever would.

What do you think about Sabrina in Riverdale? She's dead... How?? Also it seems no Spellman family in Riverdale.. I'm confused.
I have no idea how it’s going to go with Sabrina returning from the Sweet Hereafter, and I’m still kind of processing the news myself, BUT… I think a potential way they could pull Sabrina in on a temporary scale would be for Cheryl Blossom to “call” on her for help. Due to their similar wardrobe, I am assuming they are on the same side and this isn’t the “witch war” of Riverdale vs. Greendale like RAS originally intended. And as the former/sort of still active Queen of Hell, Sabrina is kind of a deity, so it wouldn’t be too dissimilar from Lucifer, Lilith, Hecate, Pan, etc appearing physically on Earth after being summoned. And maybe, in being summoned, Sabrina realizes she is immortal and therefore can’t die like normal witches/humans do.
I’ve always been hung up on the fact that the set for the Sweet Hereafter looked far too similar to The Void. Could be dismissed as a budget thing, but could also be an indication the “Sweet Hereafter” wasn’t actually the afterlife. Of course, that begs the question of how Nick got there with her, but either that’s a detail they’re going to ignore (likely) - or - the whole “took a swim in the sea sorrows” will mean something different than what everyone originally assumed. Maybe Nick didn’t die, either, but used his sorrow to open a portal towards his heart’s desire (Sabrina) and the powers that he took him directly to her.
And I don’t think we’re likely to see Sabrina’s friends or family in Riverdale. :/ Not yet, anyway. RAS probably had to pull a lot of legal strings just to get from under Netflix’s thumb in order to use Sabrina the character. Using the entire cast I think would be too similar to reviving the show as a whole, which goes against the Netflix contract that ends next year.
Having Kiernan reprise her role as Sabrina in Riverdale will reignite fan interest for caos the series to return, which RAS needs to prove an audience will still be there when the Netflix contract ends and he pitches the show to other networks/platforming services.
I think it’s actually pretty smart and I’m hoping this is an indication that we might see the return of the entire cast soon.
