Submitted prompt

There's a character in a visual novel that got turned into an anime and manga named Shirou Emiya. He's traumatized because of a fire that happened in his hometown when he was young and erased all his memories except his first name. Shirou is OBSESSED with the idea of being a hero. The future version of him from the bad end made a deal with the consciousness of the planet and the collective unconscious will of humanity to kill whoever needs to die. Kill 1 to save 10, kill 10 to save 100, etc. That's his dead adoptive dad and his sad future version's motto or whatever. That's how obsessed he is with being a hero.

So I was thinking a Shirou, who somehow ends up in Paris during Hawkmoth's reign and gets his hands on the Cat Miraculous? There's a character in the franchise he comes from that has the ability to observe and interact with parallel worlds, AND the guy is a known troll.

Considering Shirou is desperate to be a hero and:

Can analyze the structural composition of an object, increase its effectiveness, such as making it more durable or its shape more practical, or return it to its original state.

Can improve upon the physical capabilities of his own body temporarily via magecraft

Skilled in a branch of magecraft, which allows him to understand the structure and design of objects as if he were viewing a blueprint

Is skilled in a branch of magecraft that allows him to completely copy everything regarding the creation and existence of the object. He's only able to copy weapons and armor, but he can even copy legendary weapons, though they're typically somewhat weaker than the original and cost him a lot of magical energy.

Can smell magical energy

Considering all his abilities AND his obsession with being a hero - or technically more with SAVING people - if he got his hands on the Black cat miraculous during Hawkmoth's reign:

1: Adrien would never get it back

2: He would be a much better "hero" the Adrien because blondie cares more about playing around and having fun and Shirou is OBSESSED with the idea of saving people and I think people would notice it.

3: He's not really the type to fall first, so he would have no interest in trying to hit on Ladybug. Shirou would be 90% professional and 10% extremely excited to be a hero and SAVE people.

Sumbitted prompt

First of I love your blog and I love the salt! I don't actually watch this show as I'm more interested in the Fandom. But here's a prompt that I thought of

So after adrien comes back to his room after talking down to Ladybug after a particular grueling Akuma battle that he left her to do all by herself till the end, which is then when he decided to show up. Plagg is furious as he is able to see her near tears of anger and frustration because of his holder actions. He tries to talk some sense into adrien, saying that it's not only irresponsible and unfair on ladybug but downright dangerous and negligent. Adrien refuses to listen to him, trying to blame Ladybug for not accepting his feelings. "All she has to do is accept that its destiny to be together! It's not my fault she's being difficult!"

that sends Plagg nearly off the deep end. He starts yelling. and not just regular yelling, no, yelling in a way that made it seem like there were multiple of beings surrounded adrien. Even when he covered his ears, he could hear the kawami loud and clear. It was the only thing he could hear. It was the only thing Plagg would let him hear. "You are not entitled to someone else affections! You are supposed to be a hero! Not just that but a good partner as well. I grow tired of waiting for this selfish attitude to dissolve! I have never had a black cat holder as selfish, irresponsible, and infantile as you! It's like your not even a-""

And that's where plagg stops their rant. Realization dawning on him as he stares down at a fearful adrien. Seeing him, truly seeing him. He couldn’t make any more excuses for now. He should've never made them in the first place. Because now, he's just as responsible as this false holder is. He has to make this right as soon as he can. He apologizes to adrien while resisting the urge to hiss at him. He blames his outburst on being hungry. Adrien is too shocked to respond with more than okay. They both part ways for the day. And as it turns to night, Plagg sneaks the ring from him while adrien sleeps and flies off. He doesn't look back either, determined to right this terrible wrong.

Adrien Salt Prompt: A Little Subtlety Goes A Long Way

Lila was caught between spitting in rage and applauding the audacity.

Submitted prompt: A Third Option

Léonce, a young teen from French Africa, found the Fish Miraculous from the old concept art and has been using it to be a superhero when the need arises back home. When their family moves to Paris, they immediately step up to help Ladybug. Hawkmoth poses such a big danger to the world that Léonce works through their social anxiety to try to offer backup despite that… and Chat Noir 1. misgenders Léonce, insisting they’re a he (Chat Noir/Adrien thinks of being nonbinary as an AFAB only thing) and 2. insists that the other Miraculous user needs to back off ‘his girl’.

Ladybug is disgusted on two different fronts. Firstly, she’s not dating him, and secondly, it’s abhorrent to her that anyone would misgender someone even after they’ve stated their pronouns (in French, Léonce goes by iel/iels or on/ons but not by strictly binary pronouns like il/ils or elle/elles).

She’s already in a bad mood the next day at school when Léonce is introduced to the class and Adrien misuses their pronouns there, too. It’s during that day where she puts two things together.

The first is that Adrien’s defense of himself/statements about nonbinary people are word-for-word Chat Noir’s takes.

The second is that Léonce is a nonbinary AMAB black person speaking with an African francais accent who’s skinny and has a gap in their teeth, a combination so specific that it can only mean she’s looking at the Fish Miraculous user.

Now that she’s had the realization Chat Noir is Adrien, and she knows Léonce’s other identity, she has options. She can choose a new partner. She can talk to Chat Noir about how ridiculous it is to accuse an agender aroace person of wanting to ‘steal’ anyone and how gross it is to imply Léonce is lying about their identity (the pins on their jacket are not for show).

She can sit Léonce down while in Ladybug form and apologize for accidentally figuring out their identity but explain how Chat Noir’s harassment is making the fight against Hawkmoth harder and she could use the help, even if he’s not onboard.

Really, the author can take this a hundred directions from here. The salient point is to have an “another Miraculous user appears” plot where the new character isn’t romantically involved with anyone and we don’t default to “Marinette’s partner as Ladybug should also be her dating partner”.

Léonce and Marinette do not need to be romantically involved with anyone to be heroes or have complete character arcs, even if the show seems to insist romance is mandatory. “Should Marinette be with Luka or Adrien?” Marinette can be with no one and be happy, actually. We’re taking a third option.

Bonus points if even minor villains like Lila or Chloé respect Léonce’s pronouns because, while they are assholes, some things are just repugnant even to them. This definitely kills their crushes on Adrien. It’s hard to be into someone who’s just running around being a bigot for no damn reason all the time.

Submitted prompt: An Immortal Black Cat

Not sure if this counts as a true salt prompt but here it goes(up to author interpretation to prevent Mary-sueing of the OC)(Can drop stuff as wanted)

A previous Black Cat wielder ends up moving to Paris. Thanks to magical related shenanigans(whether or not it was Miraculous related or not is up to the writer), she is immortal, with the appearance of an young teen around the age of the main cast. She is understandably alarmed when the Bubbler incident occurs, and more so when she starts piecing together that Adrien is Chat Noir.

The problem she sees is that she used to be a lot like Chat Noir when she was first starting as a wielder. She harassed her partner to the point that he snapped on her, and their team bond never recovered. She has regretted it since. Later on, she was a Ladybug as well(not particularly skilled but she was decent enough to get the job done.) During this mess, she had to deal with the exact same treatment from her partner, which made her feel even worse about her behavior with her first partner, especially when she had to kill her partner in self defense when she refused his advances one too many times.

After a few more akuma attacks, she quickly becomes alarmed about Chat when she realizes that he’s way too similar to her past self for her to ever be comfortable with, and her mind is worried as this boy could easily end up like her. It gets even worse when she starts realizing that Marinette is Ladybug, and her behavior is sliding from crushing dangerously deep into stalker territory, reminding her of herself and her past Black cat partner way too much.

Only one issue, she doesn’t want to alert anyone she’s present. Only a few councilors know she exists, and she’d like to keep the Council and Order of Guardians from learning of her existence. (She’s been so determined to avoid the Order less they decide to use her for something, she hasn’t been keeping track of them. As a result, she has NO idea that the Order has been wiped out by Feast. Her belief was that they were merely becoming more isolated as the world got more globalized, global threats that needed the Miraculous were dropping and the Council was growing better equpped to deal with those threats. Even if she did have suspicions, she wasn’t about to go to Tibet to check in case they were waiting.)

Well, she decides that she needs to step in, and hopefully steer these two back onto the right path before it gets out of hand. Only issue is doing so without alerting the Council and (Currently destroyed but doesn’t know it or Wang Fu). She also can’t meet with Marinette less she is transformed about Miraculous Magic. The reason is Tikki is too loyal to the Guardians, and she’d likely inform the Guardian about her. She has no such problems with Plagg, as he could care less about telling Fu.

Not sure where else to go from here…we go into Fix it somehow and possible Adrien Pepper if you really want to fix him, same with Marinette if you’re hoping for some Marinette salt and pepper. I’ll add more in the comments if I can figure out how specifically this OC fixes it.

---

Edit by prompter:

Clarification: I forgot to mention this in the prompt. Like in Fairy Tail, there’s a magic council responsible for protecting the world from magical threats and dealing with magic incidents. They’re incognito though as a public organization called the Organization of Magical Occurrences and Affairs, supposedly just as a group to help people cope with any losses or injuries caused by supernatural incidents or for people to report supernatural stuff to someone who won’t laugh them out of the room.

They’re like this as they’ve been persecuted a lot by secular and religious authorities during their history. They also worked with the Guardians before they vanished, but couldn’t ever figure out why they vanished.

If you do not stand with Palestine, leave this blog.

[adriensaltprompts]

to the people who submit short stories with neopronouns, I have a blog specifically for original fiction neopronoun stories :D

Did you know you can submit your own neopronoun-centric short stories to this blog for people to read?

You can submit stories with any neopronouns, even if I’ve already used them! I’m trying to use as many as possible, so I’m trying not to repeat them, but you are allowed to use any you want!

Submitted stories should be about original characters, or public domain characters, like Sherlock Holmes, characters from Dracula, Flatland, Frankenstein, and other public domain stories.

As a cheat sheet, if you can find the book on Gutenberg.org, you can use the characters here :)

I'm mostly just not accepting fanfiction because I don't want to have to research all the characters submitted to make sure people aren't misgendering cannonically trans or nonbinary characters that use other pronouns.

Remember -- you cannot create representation by taking it away from other people!

Submitted stories will be given their own separate list on the pinned post, and you can submit them through either the ask or submission buttons, including submitting them anonymously!

[adriensaltprompts]

For the sake of the new fandom that will probably form around the movie, all posts on this blog have now been tagged (via the mass post editor), with "Show!Miraculous", "Show!Adrien", and "Show!Adrien".

Including some posts not about ML because there's no easy way to filter them out, lol.

Prompts about the characters from the movie will be tagged normally, plus the above with Movie! in front.

Submitted prompt:

When Adrien has his outburst and quits being Chat Noir, the ring ends up in the hands of someone new after a crow picks it up and brings it to a human who feeds him regularly. (Crows do that with humans who are nice to them, sometimes.) This person is Célestin Rivage, a trans boy who is an up and coming fashion designer. He’s active on social media calling out the industry’s problem with underpaying workers, using sweatshops, and other awful practices in the fashion industry, someone Marinette follows and thinks is nice but doesn’t have a crush on. She wants to be a sustainable fashion designer who makes things that last and that contribute to the anti-fast fashion movement in France, so she follows his Tiktok and YouTube, uses some of his tips on how to spot poor craftsmanship and signs a garment was made with unethical labor, etc.

Célestin is not sure he’s the right choice for a superhero. As he tells Plagg, he’s got real concerns about if he can do superhero duties, schoolwork and his part time job correctly without neglecting some aspect of it. But since he’s moved to Paris and Paris has akuma attacks, it would be immoral not to jump in and try to help while he’s here. Ladybug shouldn’t have to do everything by herself. So he jumps into a fight against an akuma, they win, and then he takes off the ring and holds it out to her, explaining he’s not right for this but he trusts her to find someone who is. He trusts her judgment. But Marinette… well, she just had a fight where someone took the threat seriously, didn’t clown around and had her back for once. She sees someone who views having a miraculous as an incredibly serious thing. After having dealt with Chat’s nonsense, that’s wonderful.

Ladybug tells Célestin to keep the cat miraculous for the time being. She’ll look for another candidate to give it to long-term. For now, though, she trusts him to do the job correctly, since he takes it seriously. The bigger issue she has is Alya speculating on the Ladyblog that Ladybug and Chat Noir broke up or that Ladybug is cheating on Chat Noir with the new black cat. Exhausted with Alya insisting the two are dating and not listening to anything Ladybug has ever said about not being interested in him, Ladybug stops giving her interviews and instead, with Célestin’s help, sets up her own social media accounts and personal site in order to be able to speak to people directly. She talks about how Chat has harassed her, touched her without her consent, repeatedly ignored her boundaries and made her life harder. Paris’ opinion of him turns sour at the same rate as Adrien at school gets snappier and shorter tempered with the people around him. Marinette’s crush on Adrien fades as she sees him defending Chat Noir, arguing with other people and generally being less and less mature in ways that are distinctly repulsive instead of charming. Lila decides to go for a different model she’s charmed online who isn’t defending sexual harassment, Chloe is too busy trying to figure out what’s going on with Adrien to bother Marinette, everything is looking up.

Then Adrien gets akumatized. It’s a combination of having his hero persona disliked by everyone, seeing Ladybug be happy with someone else, and the fact that she said she wasn’t romantically interested in him. He manages to suck at being an akuma because the person he goes after, immediately, is the new Chat, Chat Minuit. He thinks this man somehow stole his girlfriend despite all evidence to the contrary, and yells out that he was Chat Noir and Ladybug is his. Ladybug has never been more disappointed or repulsed in her life. Unfortunately for him, Alya livestreamed most of the fight. Now people know he was the douchebag Ladybug had been complaining about, and they’re mad, so Gabriel, if only because he likes money and this is bad for his company’s reputation and profits, shuffles Adrien off to a private boarding school away from angry, dangerous people who hate him enough to want to hurt him. (Yes, Adrien is a minor and shouldn’t be threatened by adults, but sadly, we’ve seen adults IRL threaten minors. It’s wrong but it happens. The fic just shields him from it because no minor, even a shitty one, should be threatened by adults with physical or mental harm.)

Alya apologizes to Ladybug for everything and vows to make amends. Marinette excels at pursuing her fashion career without having to worry about carrying around Chat Noir’s deadweight and instead has someone to lean on when it comes to superheroics. Célestin ends up being the permanent new holder of the cat miraculous and finally overcoming his ongoing fears of not being a good enough person. Now the fight against Hawkmoth can go on but with two competent superheros, not just one.

In my mind I picture Célestin as black, but honestly I’d be cool with a prompt filler making him another race so long as he wasn’t white. This show has way too many white characters when you look at France’s actual demographics already. Please keep him a nonwhite biromantic ace who isn’t automatically attracted to Marinette and she isn’t automatically attracted to him because people can in fact just be friends, regardless of what bad writing might tell you. Give me some bi ace rep where being bi doesn’t mean crushing on everyone or cheating and being ace doesn’t mean being cold or standoffish and I will die happy.

The Trevor Project needs help holding upper management accountable for sudden devastating layoffs, and silencing those attempting to speak up about it!

The Trevor Project is a US-based nonprofit organization that provides support for struggling queer youth, providing 24/7 phone and text lines as well as other resources and community for many queer youth who are struggling to find support and a sense of stability. For those who work for this project, their jobs have meant everything to them, and the layoffs came suddenly, without the employees being able even so much as give feedback during this announcement.

"On the morning of June 14, The Trevor Project sent a meeting invite for 1:30 pm EST (2 hours before the meeting start time). The meeting was titled "988 Updates." In this brief meeting, staff at Trevor Project and staff contracted through Insight Global working for Trevor Project were informed that almost half of this 988 staff would be laid off and the last day for those folks would be July 2, 2023. Coordinators of the meeting from both Trevor Project and Insight Global turned off the chat feature and opened the Q&A, but have yet to still answer the questions asked by the staff. Leaders were stiff, emotionless, and cold while reading off of a script as if they were not destroying lives by what they were saying. 988 counselors and staff were also told not to stop taking crisis chats while this was happening, leading to our own self-crises while trying to support contacts. This was a highly unprofessional and inconsiderate meeting with life-changing news."

This has been utterly devastating for both the project, and those who are losing their jobs. Those affected were given a two week notice. As this is a primarily queer organization, many of those affected by these lay-offs face discrimination in their careers and have struggled to find jobs outside of queer affirming organizations.

As of writing this post, this petition only needs 255 signatures to pass, please sign if you agree that those in charge need to be held accountable and provide answers and solutions for the problems and damage that has been caused. You can also share this post, or the link to the petition itself to increase visibility. Thank you for reading.

We stand in solidarity with The 988 Trevor Project Team United.

Hey. Hey you. Yeah you, the Adrien Stan hate-following me.

You do know that this isn't healthy, right? You do know that spouting conspiracy theories long debunked is not a good look, right?

You do know that going on harasment campaings across different platforms over the childrens cartoon you claim is so trivial is not healthy, right?

I really hope you get to a better place some day, because you are unhealthily obsessed at this point.

This is pissgirl's doing, isn't it? Still being a creep towards childrens shows and anyone who dares to think critically about media.

Anyways, hope you get well soon and stop defending transphobia in your quest to "pwn" anyone who dares to use critical thinking skills about media.

Submitted prompt: Smell Test

Marinette is done. It’s… it’s too much. The Miraculous gives you the attributes of the animal it’s based after, right?

Her fingers are slow and hesitant as they click-clack across the computer, and a quick Google search tells her that cats are repulsed by the scent of lemons and eucalyptus.

And a dig through her drawer tells her that Nana had bought her plenty of perfumes during that period where she didn’t really know who Marinette was as a person.

Now, whenever Chat Noir leans in for a non-consensual kiss, he leaps back and hisses. When his hand is on her shoulder, her wrist, even their classic Pound It!, he quickly flinched back as if burned.

It’s interesting, though, how Adrien is struggling to remain within a five foot radius of Marinette before needing to flee suddenly (a pity, too, because he sits almost right in front of her). And Marinette’s upset about that, but that’s a minor side effect to being free from Chat Noir’s advances, the harassment, the assault, all of it.

She’s a pet owner with a spray bottle, and she’ll keep spritzing until Chat Noir gets the hint.

And as soon as she can handle being around him, she’s taking that ring.

(From the editor: I can’t really vouch for the idea that cats are repelled by citrus or eucalyptus, ours don’t seem to mind and actively try to eat the leaves off my lemon tree when I brought it inside, so let’s just assume that the strength of the smells is too potent and that’s what repelling him)

Submitted prompt by @wildly-incorrect-facts: Hanahaki disease.

Since Adrien isn’t coughing up petals, he assumes that it’s because Ladybug returns his feelings…

...When in reality, it’s because he doesn’t actually love her.

He views her as a prize to be won, and nothing more. The reason he isn’t coughing up petals because he feels no real love for her.

Submitted prompt

(To submitted: Don't worry about it not being long, asks or submissions both work fine, some people just prefer sending an ask than a submission :))

= = =

Lila, to show to Adrien that he’d much rather date her than land in a toxic relationship with someone else, plants someone to sweep him off his feet.

Of course, everything is orchestrated, but Adrien eventually does fall, but only because he’s been somehow convinced that THIS is Ladybug.

But the girl Lila planted to woo him is stubborn. She absolutely refuses to let him take control of the situation and continues to be bratty and toxic towards him, despite his hardest efforts.

When he realizes that this girl isn’t Ladybug...well...he’s too far invested in the relationship now. Shippers would riot and paint a bad picture, his friends would question what changed, he’d seemed so infatuated before?

So now he has to figure out how to survive this horrible girl, who expects him to buy fancy things for her, for an undetermined amount of time til he can break up with her at the right moment.

And if he happens to figure out who Ladybug really is during all this...well, he’s already taken, huh?

This is not to say that Adrien deserves to be in a toxic relationship, no one does. But he's in quite the pickle now.

[adriensaltprompts]

Since prompt submissions are slowing down (I'm just gonna assume because the show's gotten so terrible everyone is jumping ship), if you enjoy writing short stories, and especially if you love using neopronouns in short stories, you can also submit short original stories to my other sideblog @neopronouns-in-action!

And if you're thinking, "but I don't have any original characters..." you can literally just change the names of some characters, change the names of stuff from the universe, and just write a short story like it's a fanfiction but if you had the ability to make everything actually make sense and work and the characters have actual interactions and...yeah, congrats, you have original characters, you're writing original ficiton.

If writing "fanfiction" requires you to rebuild the entire universe and every single relationship between every character from the ground up just so that things are actually coherent, that's not fanfiction anymore, you've been writing original fiction the whole time, and just slapping an existing character's name on it.

And if the story in question is public domain, like Dracula, Frankenstein, Winnie the Pooh, and Sherlock Holmes, you literally don't even have to change their names. It's not fanfiction if it's public domain, it's literally just normal fiction.

Please feel free to submit short stories where characters use neopronouns to @neopronouns-in-action.

When /I/ have written 100 stories for it, mine are going to be published in a collection literally just called Neopronouns in Action, and you can publish yours too! Lulu.com gives you everything you need to start publishing books on your own, including ebooks!

You can submit anonymously, but I suggest choosing a penname for everything you submit so you can still take credit if you choose to publish them someday! Which you should!

[adriensaltprompts]

the newest prompt has been rejected for multiple reasons:

A) de-aging characters is not allowed (the only exception would be Literally Everyone being deaged by an akuma, leaving only the adults who are now teenagers, to actually handle things and protect their kids, who are now babies again)

B) kids should not have to be parents. kids are kids. they deserve to be kids. They should not be responsible with being a parent to another child. No, not even if the kid in question's a horrible person. He should still not be forced to give up his childhood to be a parent before he's even seventeen.

C) giving Adrien a kid before he's learned to not be a horrible person is just a recipe for abuse. pretending it would go fine is just lazy and making him OOC for the sake of the plot.

D) saying /platonic/ love is the most important thing in the universe is not actually an improvement upon amatanormativity. people also do not need to have kids in order to be happy >.>
