Invisible string

pairing: Max Verstappen x reader

summary: Red Bull Racing has a new sponsor. You host a party as the head of that company to celebrate this agreement. Max has no choice but to attend, but the evening ends with a pleasant surprise after he meets you in person. Maybe he was wrong about you all along.

note: I'm everything but a scientist. If you are one, please, ignore the amount of inaccuracies. There must be a lot.

part two

“You're insane,” Robert told you for the hundredth time that day when he arrived at your place, although every time there was a little laugh accompanying the comment.

Maybe he was right. Deciding to spend over three hundred million dollars on sponsoring an F1 team did sound insane, but he did agree to do it, and you signed the contract together. Sure, sixty percent of the company was yours, it was mainly your call, but he was still your mentor.

But he didn't stand in your way, he knew how passionate you were about this sport, and your biotech company could use the PR and marketing opportunities that came with this partnership. And let's not forget about the political aspect, because there were lots of important people who loved the sport and supported a top team like Red Bull Racing.

Your assistant came up to you to ask a few questions, but once she was gone, you folded your arms and stuck out your tongue at Robert. “You’re just jealous because it was my idea. Jokes aside, it's a good thing. F1 comes to the US so many times these years, it's good to be a big sponsor of a top team. Have you seen what kind of people attend the races? Exactly who we need to charm.”

“You never had an issue with charming people without such a big investment,” he noted with a sigh.

You bit your lower lip and turned away to look out into the backyard that was by now full of party decorations. You wanted to celebrate the announcement with an elegant party at your place, and you invited board members, top employees, some important people to schmooze with, and people from the newly sponsored F1 team.

“We need some legislation changes to kickstart the new project, you know that,” you told him eventually when you turned back to him. “I wish we could afford to be patient, but we need to launch it as soon as we can.”

Robert put a hand on your shoulder and gently squeezed it. “You stress too much about that. Take it easy,” he said.

Easier said than done, but you didn't want to continue this conversation. “I need to get rid of my yoga pants and change into something red, so make yourself at home as usual,” you told him with a smile before rushing away.

“Oh, so you're still a Ferrari fan, aren't you?” he called after you, bringing up the elephant in the room.

With a laugh, you came to a halt and spinned on your heels to face him again. “Yeah, and my favorite team is a joke at the moment. This was purely a business decision.”

Max did his research. Well, it was mostly the team handing out dossiers about the host and her business partner, along with a couple of other important people who were expected to attend the party, but he did read every single page and memorized each and every one of them.

When he reached the gate of his destination, he found armed guards outside, and he let out a frustrated groan at the sight. It was ridiculous. He didn't even want to be here. But he had to be a good boy and attend to act as the poster boy of the team. Hopefully he just says hi, maybe says a few words about how great this partnership will be, exchanges a few sentences with a few people and that would be it.

“Loosen up a bit, you look terribly tense,” Adrian told him from the passenger seat.

Easy for him, at least he would have a funny story to tell at the party. The car he wanted to come with had been stolen from the hotel’s garage, and no one knew how anyone could take it. This gave him the ammunition to keep up conversations. Lucky bastard.

Meanwhile, what was he supposed to talk about? Driving? He talks about that all the time. His hobbies? These people probably weren't the target audience. “I’m not in the mood for this,” he eventually replied with a sigh.

“No one is, but sometimes we just have to play nice and schmooze with our sponsors. This is the first time they support an F1 team, I guess they're just excited.”

“Yeah, I know that,” Max replied with a roll of his eyes. “I just… I don't know, with all the things I've heard about our host, it sounds like she is some real life female Tony Stark. She already built such a huge company, she's responsible for big innovations, and she was on Forbes' 30 under 30 list… I mean, come on.”

Adrian watched him with a deep frown. “Does it have anything to do with the fact she's a woman?”

Okay, this was getting ridiculous. “God, no, it's because of her age. This isn't some app you can make in a college dorm, then sell for a lot of money. Building that company must have taken a lot of work, she couldn't have done it alone, yet every article the team cherry-picked for us failed to mention how she did it.”

“Well, from what I've read elsewhere, her partner really did help her with the administrative part of the project, but they talked to investors together. She's smart, and nice, and I one hundred percent believe she's capable of achieving this at her age. Might I add she's only a year younger than you? You don't seem to be in such a bad situation at your age either.”

Max took a deep breath to calm himself, but in the end he couldn’t hold back the painful grunt that's been waiting to come out. “I'm miserable,” he noted sadly as he parked the car.

But Adrian wasn't in the mood for this. “You're just whining now,” he pointed out patiently.

“Whatever.”

They got out of the car and walked up to the main entrance, passing by some people who looked like boring businessmen and their airhead partners. Maybe there was a politician among them too, at least one with a big voice sure made him believe that.

Inside the two of them separated, and Max took his time to take a look around. The house was impressive; four stories as he counted outside, modern, clean design, combined with a huge backyard that ended in a lake. It must have been peaceful when there was no crowd around.

After a while he went back inside but was soon intercepted by Christian. Crap, so much for a peaceful evening. “Oh, and here's Max,” he said happily as he put a hand on his shoulder and guided him over to their little group.

“Hi,” was all Max managed to come up with.

“Welcome,” you said with a warm smile. “And good luck for this year.”

“Thanks.”

You turned to his boss with a curious look. “And where's Checo? I thought he would be coming as well.”

Christian seemed a little uneasy, but he managed to explain the absence of the team's other driver. “He has a family emergency,” he replied curtly.

Max bit the inside of his cheek in order to keep back a comment. He didn't want to attend this stupid party either, but for some reason he didn't have a choice. He never had a choice.

To his surprise, you began to laugh at this, then took a sip of your champagne with a mischievous look in your eyes. “Oh, the real get out of jail free card,” you noted.

Max snorted at this, and there was no way he could hide the huge grin that wanted to break out. All right, you got a brownie point for this comment, that's for sure.

“I'm sure he would love to be here,” Christian assured you.

“Sure.” You remained silent for a while, but just when Max was beginning to assume an awkward break would settle into the conversation, you spoke up again. “Well, I'm glad you're all here. Thank you for taking the time. Please, just make yourselves at home, and enjoy the rest of the evening.”

At one point Adrian joined the little group and decided to become a part of the conversation with one last question. “Where's Mr. Hartford?” he asked.

You let out a thoughtful hum as you looked around. “I don't know, last time I saw him he was talking to a board member. But I'm sure he'll find and greet you too. Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to say hello to a few more people. Have fun.”

The three of them watched as you walked away, and Max couldn't help but appreciate the view. That red jumpsuit you wore tonight hugged your figure so perfectly it almost made him drool. Almost. He could easily push that stupid part of his mind to the side for now. He couldn't let himself be fooled into believing you really were oh so perfect, there had to be something that was wrong with you.

“Did it kill you?” he heard Adrian's voice, and when he turned to him, he saw a knowing smile on his face.

Meanwhile Christian looked a little confused. “Did what kill him?”

“Talking to her.”

“What, you had an issue with that?”

“No,” Max protested, sending a disapproving look to the engineer who only laughed at him.

“Sure? You sounded kin–” he began, but was quickly interrupted.

“You two are insufferable, you know that, right?” Max asked them with a sigh, then rolled his eyes and left without waiting for their answer. All he wanted was a quiet corner and another glass of champagne, maybe a few bites of those delicious sliders a waiter offered him not long ago.

“Are you planning to come up with something that can race against Neuralink?”

Oh, for fuck’s sake, not this again. But you forced a polite smile on your face and took a deep breath. “It's easy to come up with new, flashy innovations, but let's not forget that the root of the problem is always a bioethical one. Let's take them and their animal testing procedures for example. Whether you like it or not, euthanizing so many animals does raise ethical questions.”

“But it's for a greater good,” another man noted, earning a few nods from the people around him.

“I don't know, I believe we need to find a way to test new technologies without hurting anything or anyone first. That's one of the things we're working on at the moment. Also there's another bioethical aspect, and that's the fact these things would be expensive. The general availability is highly questionable, it would only help the rich.”

That one politician you had no choice but to invite despite every cell in your body protesting against it began to laugh at this. “And what's wrong with that as long as they pay?”

Oh, you son of a bitch, how could you be so dense? You took a deep breath and tried to calm yourself, but it was really hard at the moment. Luckily, Robert realized that this was a touchy subject, so he put a hand on your shoulder to calm you down.

“What she's trying to say is that it should be more than just a discussion about profit,” he began to explain. “Sure, that's important to finance our research, but science is supposed to help people.”

The man gave him a condescending look, as if he was disappointed that you would both choose to help people instead of earning a lot of money. What he didn't understand was the fact your company had highly profitable solutions, which gave you the opportunity to work on things that weren't as successful financially.

“For us,” you suddenly began, your finger moving in a circle as a sign that you were talking about the members of this little group, “going to a private hospital to get treatment and paying for our prescribed medication is normal. But let's not forget that almost 8 percent of the US population is uninsured. That's 26 million people. Let's say they start coughing. What do they do? They turn to home remedies because they can't afford the medical bill. Then things get worse as it turns into pneumonia and if they're lucky, they can go to a free clinic where they're prescribed meds. But can they pay for them?”

Robert nodded, then went on to add, “And it can be anything, really, even something contagious.” Clever. That guy was known for being a germaphobe, if anything, that could surely get his attention.

But he remained silent and a woman jumped in to drive the conversation instead of him. “What about different cybernetic implants? I mean, those are pretty impressive in movies, but how close are we to actually having them?”

You shrugged. “Depends on who you ask.”

A painful half an hour later you and Robert went outside, walking all the way out to the lake to build a little distance from the guests. “Thanks for backing me up there,” you told him before taking a sip of your cocktail.

“Anytime,” he said as he clinked his glass with yours.

Before he could say anything else, though, you heard someone clear their throat behind you. The both of you turned around and saw Max stand there with his hands in his pockets, watching you with a polite smile.

“You have a second?” he asked.

“Sure,” you replied as you took a few steps closer to him.

“I have to go, I just wanted to thank you for the invitation and say goodbye.”

You weren't used to guests you didn't really know coming over to say goodbye before they left. Most people usually just got in their cars and drove off without a word, but honestly, you were honestly grateful for that. But this goodbye was flattering, after all you could see it on his face that under the polite smile he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

With a nod, you held out your hand, and he took it without thinking. “Thanks for coming. I hope you could enjoy yourself a little bit. I know it's not a fun kind of party.”

“It was okay. Well, except for that woman who was raging about people who want to replace real meat with artificial meat,” he added with a laugh.

You froze and your eyes slowly narrowed at him. “Wait a second.”

Max looked genuinely confused, and his hand was still holding yours without either of you realizing it. “What?” he asked you.

“You're a genius! Excuse me.”

As you dropped his hand and began to walk away, he turned to Robert with a confused look on his face. “What did I say?” No response, only a shrug. “Where are you going?” he called after you.

“To the lab,” you finally told him without looking back.

Once again, Max turned back to the other man. “She's leaving her own party?”

“She has a lab in the basement,” you called back to answer his question.

Robert’s lips curled into an understanding smile. “Send me a text if it's something worth looking into,” he said, then turned back to Max and held up his hands. “Usually it's better not to ask.”

Despite Robert's warning, Max was now way too curious to simply ignore your strange behavior. He wanted to know what was going on in your head, so he followed you to the lab inside the house. He first arrived in an office, but through the huge windows he could see the actual lab.

“Is everything okay?” he asked after he softly knocked on the open door.

“Hmm?” You turned around with a questioning look, but once you realized it was him, you nodded. “Oh, yeah, sure. What are you doing here?”

Max walked inside, feeling completely out of place. “You ran away so abruptly that I wanted to know what's going on.”

“You gave me an idea, that's what's going on.”

“Oookay… And what was the idea?” he asked as he watched you sit behind the desk and enter your password to unlock the laptop that was connected to several monitors.

“Using something artificial instead of the real thing. That way we can bypass a barrier that's been blocking us,” you replied without looking at him.

“You lost me.”

A sweet little laugh left your lips, a sound that drew him closer as if it was a siren’s song. “All right, can you promise to keep your mouth shut about what I'm about to tell you?” Max nodded, so you grabbed the chair next to you, then pulled it closer and pointed at it to make him sit down. “Good. So one of the issues with bioprinting is that we can't be sure whether or not the cells we're working with are damaged, meaning if there's a possibility of cancer showing up later on for example.”

You were so enthusiastic, but he was so damn lost. It was the result of an unfamiliar territory, and the fact his mind could mostly focus on the way your lips moved instead of the words that left them. “Wait, what's bioprinting exactly?” he asked, unsure if he had the right idea.

Nodding, you clicked on something and it brought up a video feed. “For example, this,” you said with a proud smile.

It looked like a 3D printer, that much he knew, but what it was printing was a mystery at the moment. “What's that?”

“A 3D printed heart that's being made from my own cells,” you replied with a wide grin. “Give it another few days and it'll be ready.”

“Is that real?”

“Yep. Although, and that's what I've just mentioned, I can't guarantee it doesn't have cancerous cells. But theoretically speaking, someone awaiting transplant could get it.”

Max let out a thoughtful hum as he looked back at you. “So what does it have to do with artificial things?”

“That's how we bypass the damaged cell issue. We just need to create artificial cells that we can then turn into whatever we want them to be.”

“You think it could work?”

After thinking about it for a short while, you eventually shrugged. “Maybe,” you said quietly as you leaned back in your swivel chair. “I need to put a team together and discuss our options, then we'll see. As of now it's just a wild idea.”

“Interesting.”

To be honest, he could spend the whole night doing nothing but listening to you talk about your work. Meeting you in person changed the way he had thought about you before arriving here, and now he wanted to use this opportunity to get to know you better.

He did a quick search after first talking to you, and he read an article from the end of the last year that stated you were single. That was two months ago, maybe that hadn't changed since then. But something told him you were way too in love with your career to worry about romantic relationships, so if he wanted to get your attention, he probably had to work hard for it.

Your phone's screen lit up on the desk and he didn't miss the wallpaper. It was one of those prayer circle memes with Charles’ photo on it, which made him realize something. “You're a Ferrari and Charles fan?” he asked you with a raised eyebrow.

“Yep, already getting ready for prayer circles as you can see,” you replied with a laugh as you showed him the screen. “That's their only hope, I swear.”

“Then why are you sponsoring us?” he asked.

“A business decision in its purest form.”

Was he disappointed? Maybe a little bit. In his head he was already making up scenarios, like the first time you went to a race to support him–yes, he was getting ahead of himself, so what–and now it felt like a bomb had been dropped on his plans. Sure, as a sponsor or his girlfriend you'd physically be in their garage, but your heart would be with the Italians.

Max let out a sigh as he nodded. “And here I was, thinking you just wanted to see your company's logo on a fast car. Didn't know you were actually watching the races.” He tried to keep a casual tone to make it sound like it didn't hurt him, but he had a feeling his disappointment was seeping through the cracks.

Because you remained silent for a while, and when you finally spoke up, your voice was soft and quiet. “Maybe there are a lot of things you don't know.”

“Yeah, maybe,” he responded as he rolled closer to you.

The sadness he felt slipped away as soon as it came, because it was like he got under your spell the moment he got close enough to you. Your pretty eyes were following his every move, carefully watching him as you waited for whatever was to come.

It only took him a minute to make up his mind, to take a risk and see if you were willing to play this little game with him. So he raised his hand and curled his index finger to signal you to move over to him with a playful smile on his lips. “C’mere,” he said quietly.

To his surprise, you didn't hesitate to do as you were told, you stood up and sat in his lap with your arms around his neck, meeting him halfway for a kiss. The need for something more grew inside him as the kiss deepened, and a small part of his mind shifted its focus to your jumpsuit, trying to figure out the fastest way to get you out of it.

“I'm going home on Sunday. Come with me,” he suddenly spoke up, pulling away a little to look you in the eye. “Stay for a few days. Or a week or two,” he tried with a cheeky grin.

You leaned back to reach for your phone that you left on the desk, but he had his hands firmly on your bottom to keep you in place. “I can't reach my phone,” you said with a pout. “I can't tell you if I can go without it.”

With a sigh, he rolled the two of you closer to the desk so you could get it, but he didn't take his hands off of you. As you checked your calendar, humming every now and then, he couldn't help but start and place kisses in the crook of your neck.

“How about the week after that?” you asked him as you lowered your phone. “We have meetings with the CFO, an important meeting with a certain someone that I can't delay or skip, and I want to put together the team to test my new idea. Next week's pretty crowded.”

Max cupped your cheek and made you look at him. “If there's one thing we learned from Covid is that you can do these things online. Come on, I have fast and stable connection back home,” he tried with a smile.

“But you'll let me work,” you told him sternly, to which he only responded with a laugh before kissing you again. “I hate you.”

“You don't, and you know it.”

Castlevania Modern day au lore post 2/???

So this post and the next two probably (so long as I don’t have to push one back a bit) will be focusing on a bit of lore plus Alucard/Adrian, Trevor and Sypha respectively and their families, This one will focus on Alucard and the Țepeș family.

First is Alucard’s father Dracula, First Dracula is technically a second first name though his full name is Vlad Dracula Ţepeş, He was married before but lost his first wife, He runs his own business, Of course he’ll spoil Lisa and Alucard but he makes sure Alucard doesn’t become an entitled brat and is humble.

He actually changed his name when though his sister still kept their original last name.

he’s not close with his sister and even less so with his parents.

Is multi lingual

Next is Alucard’s mother Lisa, She is a doctor's and a well respected one at that, She’s had to deal with bs from some but she’s just done her job and not let it phase her, She and Vlad met when she was treating him after a car accident and eventually the two hit it off and started dating and got married.

she was actually very calm when she went into labor with her son whilst Vlad was freaking out about.

She is not a woman you want to make made.

she’s also taught Alucard various medical things.

she is still alive

Now onto Alucard himself, First Alucard is mostly just a nickname he got when he was a baby and kind of just stuck and he’ll sometimes just introduce himself as Alucard, most everybody aside from his parents call him Alucard or a variation of it

He’s actually always hated having short hair, he got really upset one time when he was little when a teacher complained about his long hair until mama Lisa put the lady in her place.

He’s also really into a lot, typically book and novels, Manga, Anime, a lot of different types of shows and movies (crime, documentaries, romance, etc) though he’s not a fan of horror movies all that much.

Alucard is also Very flexible and has surprised Trevor more than once.

He also wears yoga pants instead of shorts when exercising (which Trevor very much enjoys)

He also as I think I mentioned in the previous post loves it when Trevor plays with his hair, he even lets Trevor help brush it,

He actually surprised Trevor the first time he started experimenting with styling his hair

Does sometimes where tight pants and heels and doesn’t give a damn what others think most of the time

can actually cross his legs without issue

Okay and now I want to just some random more stuff about vampires and Dhampirs, for one they are not a immortal, vampires do tend to live longer than humans, but not insanely longer.

They are also not affected by the sun in the au

Vlad just burns easy

Their fangs can be at least partially retracted (only their permanent ones, not the baby ones) as to prevent them from causing any damage to the bottom gums or lips when the mouth is closed.

(TW for death)

When Yuna was 7, they lost their parents - Augustine and Chantana Yang - in a roadway accident. Since then, they were soon adopted and taken care of by their uncle Theodore Thacker; they admired him greatly to which they decided to adopt his surname. Growing up after the accident, they became rather closed off to their peers despite being well liked, leading to them having a lonely childhood. Their teachers praised them for their intelligence, but worried for them knowing what happened to their parents and the aftereffects of their death. Theodore ended up homeschooling them after they graduated from 5th grade due to a new job opportunity that involved his skills of cartography and linguistics, basically joining a team of archaeologists. Uncle Theo doesn’t want his niece to be alone, so he took them with him and tutor them on basic skills and different cultures from around the world, including teaching them different languages (which they struggled a lot, especially their motherland). During Theo’s group’s adventure in Iceland, 12 year old Yuna learned about the occult and tried it out, they ended up giving up on it at around 13ish. Fast forward, Yuna (age 17) finally got accepted into a university. One day after class was over, they missed a bus but saw a black carriage sitting close to the university. They wondered why it was there, but decided to ride it as they don’t want to take the chances of having to wait for another bus (reminder that they haven’t gotten their license yet). Little did they know, they were soon transported into another world - a whole new world full of new discoveries for them.

Facts

When they were practicing the occult, they tried scrying for at least 5 times before the Iceland exhibition was over

Uncle Theodore is a history fanatic and always rave about certain aspects about history and gave out facts to his niece (it runs in the family due to them being explorers)

Their butterfly earrings were actually a gift from their mom when they got their ears pierced at age 5

Studied cryptozoology and mythology other than just history

Thanks to their uncle, they learned about their Lao culture and heritage

A nerd and horror fan

Fashion sense is inspired by campy horror movies (Ginger Snaps, Lisa Frankenstein, etc.)

Would hurt a fly but never kill a man

Friends with Adrian Rosco (20 year old mechanic) and had a sibling bond with him

Very sensitive to loud sounds

Theodore owns a cat named Fluffy, which Yuna loves

Loose identity on gender (Uncle Theo would still support them through and through)

Finds being in Twisted Wonderland a great opportunity

Amazing swimmer

A lot of their clothes were hand-me-downs since entering Twisted Wonderland

Unique taste in music

Necklace is a birthday present from their uncle

Entered NRC at age 17

━━✦ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 * i've been in such an apocalypse / zombie mood and it's not going away. below the cut are the muses i'd love to use. like this for me to write you a small starter. specify a character or i'll go with muse.

BEATRIZ - Was a nurse before the outbreak. Gentle, caring, always putting others before herself. A tad naive, saw the good in almost everyone. After the outbreak, she lost almost everyone she cared about, either because they died or they couldn’t be contacted so she assumed she was now alone. Realized there was a fierce survivor inside of herself and she learned to shoot and survive. Depending on the plot, she can be affiliated with a group of survivors who are against the government in place in the hopes of a better world. No longer gentle but still caring, only it’s to a closer circle. Loyal to a fault. Has killed before and is good at it even if she can barely stand it. ( adria arjona )

ADRIAN - Blue collar before the outbreak he quickly found himself with the wrong kind of people after the outbreak. They would find houses or small colonies and steal whatever they could, not caring about the aftermath of their actions. Was sent to a larger colony to do some recon work but the colony was attacked and Adrian took that as an opportunity to try and reinvent himself. Prone to anger and fighting, his quick temper often gets the best of himself even if he doesn’t like it. Trying to be a better man. ( danny ramirez )

ELIJAH - Used to be in the army and was with them when the outbreak happened. Continued to do as he was told for a little while but eventually saw how corrupted it was beginning to be and he rebelled. Lost his wife in the outbreak and blame himself for not having been with her at the time. Has been helping as much as he can since then. Can be a bit callous and harsh at times but there’s a sweetheart who just wants to save everyone deep inside. ( jon bernthal )

REZZA - Bartender and drummer before the outbreak. His mother remarried when Rez was a teenager and his step-dad was a survivalist and too hard on Rez, which created a lot of fighting. Rez lost touch with his family after the outbreak and he never believed his step-dad prepping would serve him but it did. Was once with a group of people that weren’t good ones and Rez has stolen and harmed others. He eventually left them, with a price for his capture and has been a very careful loner since then. There is a desire to do better in him. ( riz ahmed )

XIMENA - Survived almost be accident and luck. She was a yoga instructor and new age influencer before the outbreak. She had a lot of connections and it paid when came time to find somewhere safe. Since then her new age knowledge has paid off, as she knows a lot of alternative medicine and such, which comes in handy when resources are rare. Still a bit naive and hasn’t really had to fend off for herself, at least not when it comes to fighting for her life. She has been an asset because of her knowledge and not her fighting skills. Sweet but also fearful. ( melissa barrera )

LETICIA - Never knew her father and her mother did her best but Leti learned to look after herself and her siblings at a young age. Went from jobs to jobs and petty crimes as an adult. Was part of a gang of bandits after the outbreak and she can be very cold and cynical. Knows how to take care of yourself and rarely, if ever, accept help from others. Her only goal is to protect her siblings, at least those that are still alive. Her motto is Live Fast and Die Young. ( camila quieroz or eiza gonzalez )

My thoughts and hopes for future Miraculous games

Hello again! It’s been a little while.

As most of you already know, season 6 of Miraculous Ladybug will start next week. (And once again, they messed up the order of the episodes giving us episode 1 as episode 5…… Disney… why?)

However! That’s not why I am here. I wanna talk about the miraculous games again. I already did multiple posts for ‚Paris under siege‘ and I talked about ‚rise of the sphinx‘ too while I was at it.

I also talked about the huge amount of merchandise this show has. From dolls to accessories and games.

I don‘t really understand why, but these games use Egyptian elements so far. The official ones at least. Published by GameMill. I think that we will get more games in the future. I actually hope so which brings me to this posts main topic.

Also, i usually don‘t do this but here i would actually like it if you could like this post. Just to show that i am not alone with this. You can also comment if you also have a wish for new games.

What would I want from a new miraculous game?

- First, I would like for them to go back to what they did in rise of the sphinx. Letting us really run around in Paris and allowing us to see how people react to what’s going on. Because as the story progressed, people became scared and talked about what was going on. It was story driven and had an impact.

- second would be the combat system. They did ok in ‚Paris under siege‘ but I already said that the spider man approach was a bit wobbly and not precise enough. I don‘t want to fly across the arena just because I did a jump kick. Or fall through the ground because I rushed into battle.

- third, please let us play someone else! Not just Ladybug or Chat Noir. We all get that they are THE main characters. But at least side missions where the new heroes would be on their own, would be amazing! It doesn’t have to be an Akuma. Something smaller would do too. Or maybe ‚Rena Rouge? We are on our way! You need to buy us some time and make sure no civilians get hurt ok?‘ Some people hoped for exactly this when the trailer for Paris under siege dropped. Not gonna lie, I already thought that we won‘t get that knowing who is publishing this game. If you want, you can do the cutscenes with Ladybug and Chat Noir but let us play with the new heroes. A game that takes place during season 6 would be perfect.

On this note, maybe we could unlock a free mode where we replay missions as other heroes. Or like I said, side missions. The possibilities are endless. Everyone out there has their favorite characters. I admit I would love to play as Cerise, even if it isn’t action based. I also am a fan of queen bee. (Yes you heard that right.)

- Next, please pay more attention to the characters. In the last game, we got support characters. Rena Rouge, Carapace and Vesperia were pretty accurate to what they would really do. But what did you do to our boy Luka? Instead of giving us a second chance and turning back time for a little, he uses his…. lyre? As a boomerang! If you don‘t know what to do with a character, don‘t use them!

- speaking of combat and support characters, if you do that, make it easy to use. Honestly, it’s possible that I was too stupid to use it on the switch but after running into battle and before my fingers could finish this…. Yoga pose on the controller, I was faster beating the enemy myself. Did I take damage? Yes. Was it still easier and faster? Also yes. If a mechanic is not necessary, slow to activate or not easy to use, you might be better off not using it.

- give us something to do as civilians. Miraculous is a show about teenagers who become superheroes and save the city but there is more going on in their life’s than that. Hell, I would even take a side mission in which we have to stalk Adrian as Marinette. They could use this as a flashback like ‚hey Marinette, you kind of act just like you did before you and Adrian started dating. Aren’t you done with that?‘ ‚please don‘t remind me of that Alya.‘ We all agree that this is one of the less flattering character traits of Marinette, but I would take it. Or maybe a spying mission as Cerise who uses one of her disguises!

- last (for now), let us play as the villains. How many times did we sit in front of our phones, laptops or tv’s and watched Monarch fail, letting us think. „Even I could do better.“ or now for Cerise.

Give us side missions (maybe we can unlock it and do that after the main story) where we can be the bad guys. What would happen if the villains win? Even if the wish does not happen.

——————————————————

That’s it for now. Seriously, Disney, GameMill or whoever will create the next game. Ask the fans! You couldn’t do anything better! Will there be trash in the suggestions? Yeah… let’s be real. But we know what we want! Just listen and sort some ideas out later! It would be easy. And please…. Whoever is making a new game… give them the time and resources they need. We don‘t need a glitchy half backed mess. Not again.

But what do you think? Like I said, this time I would like for you to comment, like and reblog. Let’s collect some ideas. Like I said before, we know what we want.

See you soon! Oh! And any gramma mistakes can be collected! Have fun!

This is Jazzreloaded

Jazzreloaded is the name of the award winning website project compiled by Vidal Montgomery and Danielle Harvey. It was recognised by the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group in 199x as the best digital Jazz platform in the UK. It was the first Afropean Jazz portal on the Internet

Jazzreloaded. Com began when double bass Player Vidal Montgomery (then named Darren Vidal Montgomery Taylor) merged his passion for jazz performances with the likes of Courtney Pine, Orphy Robinson, Steve Williamson, with a new found interest in computers and multimedia developed during his time at work as a network analyst for Netdecisions Group.

Two jazz fusion albums were recorded under the jazzreloaded label, called Get Out and Get Out Reloaded and a further three albums under either Taylormade Studios or Room 303 Productions or Flat 5 Studios, trading names for VIDAL Montgomery's trading style

A series of podcasts were also produced, in conjunction with the Musicians Union of whom Vidal Montgomery was a member at the time.

📖"what has surprised you about your WIPs?"

‼️"what has stayed consistent across all drafts?"

📖"what has surprised you about your WIPs?"

I just answered this one so I'll answer again with shiny new surprises!

Under No Illusions: I changed a lot of things in the final draft, but somehow, the story still feels the same - in a good way. I was surprised by how different that final draft was while still keeping the heart of the book

It's in the Cards: no lie - I can't believe how much the whole Garfield gag spiraled out of control

‼️ "what has stayed consistent across all drafts?"

Under No Illusions: the bathtub scene, the overall description of Chester, the hotel yoga scene, the characters' personalities [though their goals and motivations changed tremendously], and the phrase "sometimes you just gotta hex a bitch."

It's in the Cards: Plot wise, this book has been really consistent; tarot cards, Adrian's psychic abilities, Versatile Lemon, all of it has been there from the start. The characters' personalities and mannerisms shifted a lot while writing - it took me a while to understand Elliott as a character

i was tagged by @babyhoneyheslt to post a snippet so here's another bit from what had oddly been called abe lincoln au

Setting his elbow on the table with a sigh, Harry rests his cheek in his palm, taking a sip of wine. “So, uh, what are some of your favorite, like, positions?” Adrian asks. Harry widens his eyes, suddenly choking on his wine. His glass hits the table hard while wine dribbles down his chin, red drips staining the white tablecloth. He wipes his chin with the back of his hand, gulping down the wine left pooling in his mouth. “Sorry?” “Fuck, I’m sorry! Oh my god, I’m so sorry.” Adrian flushes a deep crimson, burying his face in his hands. “I meant, ‘cause like—” he sighs heavily— “you, like, sometimes come to the cafe with a yoga mat? So, I just like…assumed.” He peeks at Harry. “That you do yoga.” Harry nods slowly. “Right.” “Sorry,” Adrian murmurs. “This isn’t going well.” “It’s going fine.” Cringing at himself for so easily lying, Harry shakes his head. Adrian gives him a dubious look. Harry huffs amusedly. “Alright, so maybe that wasn’t a great question, but that doesn’t mean the rest can’t be better. It’s only up from here, yeah?” Frowning down at his soup, Adrian eventually meets Harry’s eyes again as he nods. It’s another blatant lie on Harry’s end. He’ll be finding another coffee shop to frequent after tonight.

i'll tag @larry-hiatus and @petitommo but obvs no presh
