Who's gonna tell him

[raspberrycatapult]

I really wish we'd see Marinette talking with Tikki about what's going on, e.g. that she feels eaten up with guilt about everything to do with Adrien.

I want to hear her battling with the secrets she's keeping. Give us some self-reflective context for how flipping crazy she's been in S6. Like, even just one line.

[raspberrycatapult]

To be honest, if it were me, I'm not sure I'd have been able to forgive Sabrina and just make friends, after all she did. Maybe we could talk it through and take it one step at a time and see what happens...but it definitely wouldn't happen overnight.

At the same time, two wrongs don't make a right. You can walk away with kindness. Watching Marinette just shut a door in Sabrina's face was painful viewing. It was so Mean Girls.

I get that there was a miscommunication, but like...that was totally down to Marinette being lost in her own head, because of the stress she's carrying - and that's not Sabrina's fault.

Are there any new writers who have talent but haven't reached their full potential yet? I would like to follow someone on their journey.

Hm... this can be tricky to decide on, since it means deicding what their "full potential" is. I think I'll focus on ML writers who have been writing a few different fics, and who mostly did so within the past two years or so.

I adore @liiinerle's fics! She mostly specializes in Marigami, but has written a lot of different sapphic pairings for ML as well. I always look forward to seeing her name pop up on AO3 because I know I'm likely to enjoy whatever she wrote. There's a reason I've put so many of her fics on my reclists.

@raspberrycatapult isn't nearly as prolific as Linerle, but the fics she writes tend to be longer. The standout for me is The Adrien And Marinette Show, which asks the question "What if the Miraculous tv show was actually like the Truman Show, with Marinette and Adrien as the main characters?" I especially appreciate the focus the fic gives to the actors, like a bunch of the class, the parents, etc. It fleshes out the concept in a way that the Truman Show was unable to, given its short runtime.

@uptoolateart has made my reclists several times, and for good reason! She's written a lot of great and impressively long fics. The standout fic for me, personally, is Finding A Way, with Adrien and Marinette getting shipwrecked in Jurassic Park and trying to survive. In general, she writes a lot of good Adrienette-centric longfics with more angsty/adventurous plots.

@purplecatghostposts is my go-to for great Senticousins fics. They've got some really interesting, angsty concepts they like to write. My personal favorite right now is their ongoing fic "consider the spare", wherein Adrien and Felix were actually twins, but Felix was separated from Adrien, confined to the basement, and Adrien's memory of him was wiped. But since Gabriel could use some help, he lets Felix out as Argos, under the condition that he help him try to get the Miraculous. Of course, it helps that Felix can't disobey Gabriel's direct orders.

katrinette's written a lot of short-form (for the most part) Adrienette fics, often focusing on AUs, which I adore! Witch AU, Soulmate AU, Vampire AU - they've got a lot. I always look forward to seeing her pop up!

ZettaWhyNot burst onto the scene only very recently, with their slew of Chloenette and Alyadrien fics. Unusual shipmates, but hey, it works. They've mostly written AUs so far, with their Chloenette vampire and Chloenette stranded on an island series being the standouts.

@aidanchaser writes some really good Adrienette AU fics (can you tell that I like that subgenre?) with a special focus on Magic AUs and historical AUs, mostly with a Victorian era kind of feel (I think. I'm not a historian). I particularly like her magic worldbuilding, I love a good magic system!

@miraclechatbug seems to specialize in Adrien angst fics. My favorite so far is The Sound Within, where Adrien's selectively mute. It's still in progress, but it's promising so far!

@nemaliwrites mostly writes more angsty, contemplative character study type fics. I always look forward to seeing them! I especially adore The Parable of the Caller, where Chat was guardian, but gave up the box after defeating Hawk Moth, discovering that he was his father, and without revealing to Ladybug - which meant he lost his memories. I loved Adrien listening to the messages that Chat left for him, slowly figuring out who Chat is and why he would've left messages for him in particular, all while dealing with the aftermath of his father's defeat.

@echo-has-queries writes some really creative AUs (I really love that genre), such as an Android!Adrien AU and a Eldritch God!Kwami AU. They're well-written and creative and their fics ABSOLUTELY deserve more attention!

https://archiveofourown.org/users/Echo_elates/pseuds/Echo_elates

@bbutterflies specializes in Adrino fics, and if you like the pairing, you should absolutely read them! They're usually set in the show universe, more-or-less, but with some canon divergence. My favorite is the Fake Dating AU "the moment I knew (I'd no choice but to love you).

I think that's the list I'll go with for now! I've got a lot of great authors on here, though it's by no means an exhaustive list. I hope you find some good fics from this, these authors all deserve more attention!

[raspberrycatapult]

You know when you're already writing like 15 novel-length fics and you find yourself planning another one?? This can't just be me

[raspberrycatapult]

So happy to see they've carried on the pancakes gag. Absolutely killed me, the second I saw Adrien with that frying pan.

And Nathalie saying Gabriel's weren't as sweet as Adrien's.... You tell him, Nathalie!

[raspberrycatapult]

In the English dubs, it seems Gabriel's dad and Chloe's butler are the only people in Paris who speak with a French accent 😂

[raspberrycatapult]

im so glad we can have family time in the kitchen in this specific spot. where nothing weird has happened.

[raspberrycatapult]

:D

Any good fic recently ?

I'm currently reading "The Adrien and Marinette Show" and really looking forward to it finishing! It's a brilliant Truman Show AU, with the events of Miraculous all being a TV show that Adrien and Marinette are unknowingly a part of. I like how it's able to go a lot more in-depth with the culture surrounding the show, what the different actors think and feel about the situation (there are interviews with some of them scattered throughout the fic), than the movie was able to. It makes it work really well as a Miraculous fic, but arguably even better as a Truman Show fic!

The Adrien and Marinette Show by @raspberrycatapult

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste are the unsuspecting stars of The Adrien and Marinette Show, a reality television program filmed 24/7 through thousands of hidden cameras and broadcast to a worldwide audience. Unbeknownst to them, the Paris they call home is actually an elaborate set, constructed under a dome and populated with thousands of actors and crew members. Thomas Astruc, the show’s creator and executive producer, seeks to capture their authentic, unscripted emotions as they grow up. But a lie can only be maintained for so long, and as their world begins to unravel around them, Marinette and Adrien realise that all is not what it seems. A Truman Show AU.

Pictured above: There was only on bed. (Figures created by hooks4him on Etsy—no affiliation other than as a satisfied, early customer who recommended they increase prices because the quality was sooo good, and textile artists should get to pop bottles, too!)

I took a trip to Paris with my family and Ladybug, and snuck pictures the whole trip to share with my kids later (and maybe to enjoy a teensy bit myself, for I am of course very normal).

I share them here with you if you expand this post:

Ladybug was upset that our first flight was so delayed that we missed our connection and had to stay overnight in Atlanta instead of exploring Paris on Saturday. Here, she's angrily closing the blackout shades before bed.

She killed a little time on the airplane the next day watching her own escapades.

Inspired by a small figure, she decided on her first outing.

The summit of the Eiffel Tower.

The next day, she visited the Louvre. Unimpressed by Napoleon's opulence in this painting.

Next came Notre Dame. She fondly recalled her Chaton's mis-steps here and is happy the church has been repaired and seeing visitors again.

Then she passed by the Tour Saint-Jacques.

The next day she visited the Arc de Triomphe, but her young friend admitted to having left something at Notre Dame the day before, and her punishment was to walk with her father and Ladybug across the city back to Notre Dame to retrieve it. They stopped briefly at the Place de la Concorde.

Later that day, they took a cruise on the Seine.

The next day was the Catacombs, where she was so frightened she forgot to take any selfies until the gift shop.

Then, she visited her parents.

The next day, she visited Versailles. She was wholly unimpressed by the Gabriel-style "look at me"-ness.

The next day, she cut loose at Auberge de Cendrillon at Disneyland...

before exploring the park.

On her final day, she went to the Musee d'Orsay, where she experienced heart palpitations because she saw...

Bonnard's Le Chat Blanc.

As per the top photo of this post, she gave in and slept with her Chaton. They have since got married and have three kids and a hamster named

[raspberrycatapult]

is there gonna be a 2025 volume ? ♥

Hello, yes, there absolutely is! We mods just recently created the Discord server to coordinate things and are going to be making an announcement in the future, both here and at @mlbigbang. Then we will use @mlbigbang as the official blog for the year!

Thank you for your question :)
