A.k.a. Dark Page I've been lurking without an acount since 2014 and now I'm here. Loves bright colors, pretty music, and anything that can be read. Current kick: dp× dc and Hatchetfield
When Hal had asked him which town he protected, Danny was more than happy to tell him, "Amity Park!" When Hal asked Danny where it was, Danny hadn't thought the response, "At this moment? Or where it was last week?" would've caused such chaos in the meeting.
Danny knew not everyone's town traveled across the country, but he didn't think it was odd enough to warrant this kind of reaction.
I love animals that are, like, the opposite of cryptids: we know for a fact they exist and have a clear idea of what they look like because we have photographs and individual specimens, but we haven’t the faintest idea where they’re coming from - they just keep showing up out of nowhere, and the locations of their actual population centres are a complete mystery.
Is it too much to be wanting some Anish Kapoor vs Stuart Semple levels of pettiness in Miraculous?
And no, I don’t even mean between Lila and Marinette (though I do find the idea of MDC having a clause in any contract that her creations are available to everyone except Lila or anyone affiliated with her to be hilarious and worth exploring).
Imagine, if you would, that someone was a particular jerk. It doesn’t have to be one person in particular. It could be anyone, really. Anyone at all. Bob Roth. Audrey Bourgeois. But just to pick someone at random: Gabriel Agreste.
So we have our jerk. And what a jerk he is. I don’t even have to make up a reason why he’s a detestable jerk.
Now let’s say that we also have a new creation of something like, say, fabric. Super durable. Good look. Beautiful color. Easy to work with. The sort of thing that any designer or design company would love to get its hands on.
And let’s say that, for the sake of humor argument, this particular new fabric creation was made by a private fabric company owned by a certain family we have yet to see in canon. Granted, the eldest son of this family has dreams of music and movies, but the family is rather insistent that he take on the family business of textiles and want him to take over the production and distribution of one of their factories. So at their insistence, he does.
And…for no reason in particular, said son just happens to choose the one that produces this special, highly coveted fabric.
And also for no particular reason, said son also happens to write up a non-negotiable contract for anyone wanting to purchase this fine new fabric.
“By signing this agreement, you attest that you are not Gabriel Agreste, that you are in no way affiliated with Gabriel Agreste, that you are not purchasing this on behalf of Gabriel Agreste, Agreste Industries, or its subsidiaries.”
This means that all of Gabriel’s competitors can get it. Audrey Bourgeois and her agency can buy it if they drop all ties with Gabriel. And Marinette herself finds a bolt of this special fabric delivered to her door with a bright pink bow (She’s ecstatic for weeks. Even Adrien can’t seem to attract her attention away from what she’s going to be making.).
But Adrien can’t (not that he wants any). Lila can’t get any either (though she does try to claim she has through her close personal bond with the creator which…yeah, kind of outs her immediately). And most certainly Gabriel can’t (which he is still fuming about).
Because whoever said Nino Lahiffe couldn’t be petty?
Got to the part where Roy is fucking up Envy with the flame alchemy and it is fucking funny like, y’all (father and the homunculi) basically engineered Roy to be the most effective and brutal human weapon and then Envy is surprised pikachu face when Roy is *gasp* the most effective human weapon
